Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 120

"Why is the old man looking for you?" Mrs. Wu asked Ye Zhu who came back from the upper room.

The old man didn't know if it was intentional. He clearly said that Li Xia was in charge of the family now, but he still went to Ye Zhu directly, probably because he thought Ye Zhu was easy to talk to?But it's hard to talk now.

Ye Zhu said to everyone: "Father said that he wanted to have a reunion dinner with everyone this year, and said that it has been a long time since we have been together, and we are all unfamiliar."

The children in the family did not speak, Wu said: "Then what are you talking about? Brother, did the third brother agree?"

Ye Zhu said: "I'll come back and ask the children. The eldest brother and the third brother also said to go back and discuss it." What Ye Zhu didn't say was that after hearing what they said, Mrs. Guo directly told them that they were afraid of their wives and would not speak up by themselves. Forget it, a big man, the main point is Ye Zhu, Wu Shi won't let Guo Shi come to the door, she has been holding back this anger, now seeing Ye Zhu say such a thing, can she stop swearing?

And Ye Tian sneered, probably thinking of her and the old man, Guo was very uncomfortable being laughed at by Ye Tian, ​​and wanted to swear, but was stopped by the old man, who said: "I don't have a few years to live Now, you just listen to me this time, and don’t let me fail to fulfill my wish when I’m here.” Ye Zhu and the others really didn’t know what to say, Ye Yong finally became the boss , I agreed to this matter, but Ye Tian said, we want to have a reunion dinner together, so if anyone has nothing to do at this time, don't blame him for leaving.

"That is to say, you all agreed? Then what are we talking about?" Wu said.

Everyone is not willing to eat with the person who is in the house, but the old man wants everyone to eat together, but the other party is your elder.

The whole family looked a little ugly, Li Xia said at this time: "Since everyone agreed, let's go eat, it's just a meal, there are so many people in our family, what are we afraid of?" Everyone laughed after saying a word, Yes, there are so many people, who is afraid of whom, even if they fight, they can't win against their own family, not to mention the uncle and third uncle.

The old man did not have the prestige before, especially in the hearts of his sons, the power of repression is really not great, so there is really nothing to be afraid of, if Guo-san says anything about yin and yang, first, when she is Fart, secondly, you can chat with her. In terms of eloquence, the third aunt is not bad at all, and Xiaoqiao and the others are completely victorious.

Didn't the old man just want to pull away the alienation between the third room and the upper room?Then see if this dragging past can't be pulled over.Everyone has a reputation in their hearts, and they know right from wrong.

The road from the main house to the gate of Xiaoqiao's house is also paved with bluestone slabs, which is convenient for walking in rain and snow, and is cleaned every day.

This year, it is cold and gloomy, but there is no snow. When I wake up in the morning, the water on the ground is frozen, which shows how cold it is at night.But Xiaoqiao's family has learned how to read the kang, as long as they burn a handful of firewood, it will be very warm at night.

It's the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still many people going to the market. Isn't it the old saying, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, adults and children all crawl to the street.

Everyone has to rush to the end of the year to buy all the necessities for the New Year. Whether you are poor or rich, during the New Year, you must have the atmosphere of the New Year.

There is no shortage of people to write couplets in Xiaoqiao's family. It was written by the second elder brother Liqiu.Even the people from Yejia Village now have to come and ask Li Qiu to write.People also bring some things over, but Li Qiu is determined not to want it. I wrote a pair to the villagers. If I said that I made a little money when my family was poor, then it was still in the past. It would be too stingy to ask for money now.

When people live in an environment, they can't just think about the benefits, so their family never collects money for these couplets. Although it is said that writing couplets will waste a lot of ink and take a lot of effort, it has won everyone's attention. respect.

Because the New Year is coming, so when the house is cleaned up in the morning, someone will come to the door with a red paper, saying good things, just asking Li Qiu to write a pair, they think that those who can be selected as scholars must be blessed So most of them came to ask Liqiu to write a pair for them. Liqiu also responded to his requests, and his family supported him. Some people covet this warmth, and they can not go back for a whole morning, but they are still found by their family members. Of course, they have to be scolded by their family members.

Ye Xiaoqiao's family didn't feel impatient in the slightest. For the folks in the village, what's the big deal if they just want to be warm?On the contrary, it is better than those who wish you could give them everything at home.

Xiaoqiao has also looked at the couplets written by the second brother, and the handwriting is really much better than his own. In the past few years, the difference between studying hard and not studying hard is immediately apparent, not to mention the second brother who is determined to test for fame. people?That character needs to be practiced even more hard. For scholars, this character is their second face, which is to be shown to others.

After a while, Uncle Ye and the others also came to the door with red paper. Li Xia smiled and said, "Grandpa Fifth, isn't there brother Liang in your family?" At that time, I also came to keep an account.

Ye Wuye said with a smile: "As far as his character is concerned, how can I get it? I'll let Master Xiucai write it for me, and then I will be blessed."

Li Qiu hurriedly invited Fifth Grandpa into the house. Ye Wuye had a lot of people in his family, so he needed a lot of couplets, but he had cut the red paper in advance, so he could just write it by hand.

Ye Wuye looked at the couplets written in the flowing clouds and flowing water in the beginning of autumn, and the more he looked at them, the more satisfied he was. Ye Zhu and his wife have come out of hardship, and they have earned a family fortune. People say that a good man does not eat his parents, and it is true. Look at Ye Zhu and his wife when they were separated, just a few things, he is a witness, and now they have built such a magnificent house, and they have two promising sons, even a daughter is the best, in other words In the past, he still planned to tell Li Qiu his granddaughter to be his wife, but now he also knows that it is impossible.He has self-knowledge. Although he is upright, he is the head of a village, and he is incomparable with a scholar. So when Li Qiu became a scholar, he put out his thoughts. Li Qiu is also their leaf. The family members, speaking of it, are also the spirits of the ancestors of their Ye family.

Ye's second son didn't know what he was thinking. The four sons only favored the youngest son. From childhood to adulthood, he got what he wanted, which made him study like that. He also imitated others. Whether he was born a child or not, speaking of a scholar, he is not a scholar, and he always puts on a show. Just such a son is still regarded as a treasure.

Can you not hurt the hearts of the other sons?Although it is said that a son should be filial, but your son has grown up and has his own son. Now that you have grandchildren, you have to take care of your own children. You thought it was when you were young, what do you say? What, besides, the family has already separated, the older I get, the more confused I become.

It depends on who will carry you up the mountain in the future, when you get to the ground, you will regret it or not!

Ye Wuye returned from Ye Xiaoqiao's house with the pair that had been dried. He met many people along the way, and they all greeted him. Knowing that he was returning from Ye Zhu's house, he praised Ye Zhu's children. Ye Wuye also nodded with a smile.

There is also Kua Ye Wu Ye, who gave the land to Ye Zhu's family at the beginning, otherwise how could he be so prosperous?Ye Wuye said: "That's not necessarily the case, it depends on who it is. If the person who lives in it is someone who is lazy and waits for food and drink in bed every day, even if he is given a good place, he will not be able to make a fortune." , one must be diligent and down-to-earth in order to make a fortune, don’t you think so?” Ye Wuye’s big talk was of course heard by everyone, it was just a joke.

It just happened that Mrs. Guo heard it. After Mrs. Guo returned home, her face and nose were different. The old man asked, "What's wrong with you? It's almost Chinese New Year, please calm down."

"I am not as lucky as you. I have such a good son who honors you. I only have a lazy son. I deserve what I am doing now!"

"What are you talking about? Where did you listen to it?" The old man frowned.

"It's not your good brother, the fifth, who came over from your son and said terrible things. Now everyone is flattering your son and picking us under our feet, and your second daughter-in-law, directly Even if you are disobedient and unfilial, if you don't let me in, I won't let her in my house either!" Guo said angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking! Is the fifth person like that? And you, you don't keep your mouth shut. What are you doing all the time talking to the second daughter-in-law? It's good for you. You are stupid, you, the more you The more you say it, no one will talk to you, you know? You won’t be kind, you can say anything, let me tell you, during the group year, you shut your mouth and don’t just say whatever you want, Otherwise, I won't obey."

"That is to let me swallow my anger? I am still a mother-in-law, why should I swallow my anger? I don't do it! I still serve and cook for them, are you confused? I know what you mean, you want to curry favor Your son, then you can flatter me, I can’t do it, I have my own sons and daughters! I let them feed! That’s right, every time they make clothes for you and send you delicious food, your heart is on their side Now, what do you think our mother and son are? Now that my son is useless, you don’t think he can be an old man anymore, so go curry favor with your son now!”

The old man blushed and his neck was thick when he heard this, "It's against you! The more you talk, the more shameful it is! Who am I doing this for, not for you! Look at your son, can he become a weapon? Don't think I didn't hear you and What did the fourth daughter-in-law say? He has been like this until now. When we are gone, what do you think he will do? If he doesn’t want to get along with his own brother, what will he do by himself? You still say three Dao Si, who am I for, and not for you?
Why don't you understand?The second child's family is doing well, as long as we have a good relationship with him, it's not just a matter of letting them take care of the fourth child in the future?Li Qiu can also talk about the fourth child's academic matters, so if you are stubborn with them, is there any benefit?Tell me, I used to be able to give you things, but now I don’t give them away. You say you are stubborn, okay?We are getting older and bigger, and we will be buried on the mountain in a few years. What do you think you are fighting for?Not for the fourth child!For the sake of the fourth child, you just talk to me well, now the fourth child doesn't even have a child, will it really make him a lonely old man by then?Isn't it his own brother who wants to help? "

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo said: "What do you mean, the fourth child has no children now, isn't it because the one who doesn't lay eggs can't have children? She has a handle on the fourth child, making it impossible to stop studying. Could it really make my son have no children?" Baby?"

"Then you also said that they have a clue. If we get on good terms with the second family, please ask them to help. I know the second's temper and soft heart. As long as we don't go too far, He will definitely help us. At that time, Xu's side will also be able to talk. Look at you, why do you have to quarrel with the second daughter-in-law every time? Is it good now? I know, you are counting on Zhang son-in-law Over there, but after all, he is only a son-in-law, not named Ye, so he can take care of you for the rest of his life? The Ye family is better. I should say something that should not be said. If our fourth child has health problems, we will still be adopted in the future. Don't you have to adopt from his own brother? Don't you think about it?"

"What are you talking about? How could there be something wrong with my son? Why are you cursing your son?" Guo became angry and couldn't bear to say Ye Gen like this.
