Chapter 40

The Zhang family's house was completed, and people moved in to live there.He also invites the people in the village to have a feast, even if he has officially settled in the village.Song Lao Er thought about the return of his good brother whom he had not seen for decades, should he invite his family to dinner.So, he told He Shi this idea.When He heard this, he was a little embarrassed.

When the Zhang family built the house, although she didn't help cook, the village is only so big, so she heard some rumors more or less.The main reason is that Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law can't cook, and every time Shitou Niang makes meals, she will talk about things.

He thought, this person used to work as a maid in a rich family, so he had never seen anything before.She was really afraid that Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law would look down on their family's rough tea talk.But Zhang Tiezhu is indeed a good person. Since Song Lao Er had already mentioned it, He still agreed.

When Liuya knew that she was going to invite the Zhang family to dinner, she was not too happy.In recent days, the main reason is that Wang's (Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law) has too much gossip.Some people said that she had already returned to settle down, and they were very hypocritical.Said that she is a person who can't bear hardships, and that she is not a person who can't live.Liu Ya didn't really care about these things.But ever since their family moved to her house next door, they showed their faces, and since then they have kept the door tightly closed and never went out.

It gave people a feeling that she looked down on rural people and didn't want to associate with farmers like them.Now that she has already put on this appearance, why does their family put their hot face on other people's cold buttocks?

However, these six girls could only think in their hearts, and they didn't dare to tell Song Laoer not to treat him.Maybe Song Lao Er would think she was talking nonsense.

Since it was decided to invite the Zhang family to dinner, of course old man Song and the others were indispensable.And sister Zhang's family has helped their family a lot, and they must not forget it.So one day in advance, Song Lao Er notified the person to be invited.

Because he wanted to treat guests, Song Lao Er didn't even do business today.Seeing her at the side, Liuya secretly felt sorry for how much money she would make if she missed a day of business.I felt distressed for a while, sweated, and felt that after I came here, I fell into the eyes of money.Song Lao Er is also very tired these days, let's consider today as a rest day.

But not long after, the two brothers Zhang Tiezhu came to call Song Laoer.He said he wanted to buy a field, so he asked Song Lao Er to accompany him to the town.Song Lao Er went to town with them in a bullock cart without saying a word.

For this treat, Mrs. He was ruthless yesterday and killed two old hens that were laying eggs.But those sisters were so distressed. When Mrs. He was confinement, they said they wanted to kill chickens, but Mrs. He stopped them and refused to kill one.Now it is so generous to kill two treats, it's no wonder it doesn't feel bad.

Two chickens, plus two catties of fat meat bought by Song Laoer, and the pig's head at home, and the pig's fried vegetables are almost enough.

Damei Niang, Shitou Niang, and Mrs. Lin came over early to help.However, there is nothing to help. What should be prepared was prepared yesterday, and today I just need to burn it.

With so many people coming to help, it was none of Liuya's business. Liuya and the others just hid in the room and chatted with their older sisters and younger sisters.However, the content of the chat cannot be separated from the Zhang family.

"Have you ever met those two sisters of Shitou?" Sister Zhang asked in a low voice.

Except for Siya and Liuya who met once, everyone else shook their heads.Seeing Siya and Liuya nodding, Big Sister Zhang quickly asked, "What do they look like? I heard that they look as good-looking as the girls in the town."

Like Si Ya, Zhang Damei is actually ten years old this year, and has reached the age of caring about beauty and ugliness.

"Who did you hear that from?" Si Ya asked puzzled.

"That's what everyone says." Sister Zhang tilted her head and said.

Si Ya couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this, "I haven't seen the lady in the town, but those two sisters are only a little fairer than us, and the rest are similar to us."

"Really?" Apparently, Big Sister Zhang didn't believe Siya's words, so she turned her head and asked Liuya again.

Liu Ya smiled and said, "It's similar to what Fourth Sister said, they look better dressed than us, and also whiter than us."

"Of course it's white. It's like they haven't been out much since they were young, and they don't work in the fields. When they grow up, they go to serve the young lady and the master. It's like us. If the adults are too busy with the farm work, we have to go to the fields together. Live. Even if you are white, you will be tanned." Everyone nodded when they heard what Si Ya said.I think this is the reason.

"Do you know what their names are?" Erya asked suddenly.

"I know this. I heard from my mother that my sister's name is Zhang Xiuying, and my younger sister's name is Zhang Yuying." After Zhang Damei finished speaking, she sighed again and said, "Oh, the two sisters in this family are not only prettier than ours, but even their names They all sound better than us.”

Indeed, it sounds much better than a few girls, or older sisters and younger sisters.Most of these rural people have never read a book, so they call their sons Huzi, and stones are taken at random anyway.And girls are either called big sisters or little sisters. In a word, they are as ordinary as they are.Moreover, the people here are very superstitious, thinking that the more thieves get the name, the easier it is to support them, so they don't pay much attention to choosing the name well.

"Big sister, why are you envious of others? We are not rich ladies. If we can clean up the housework, cook a table of good meals, and go to the fields to help adults with work, we are already very capable. As for those who have no names, Anyway, everyone is like this, so there is nothing to care about." Erya felt that Sister Zhang was making too much fuss.This name is used to be called, not used as a meal.What to do to sound so nice.

Liuya and the others were discussing the two sisters of the Zhang family here, but the Wang family next door kept waiting with the two sisters for things to pay attention to. "Wait a minute, let's go to the Song family for dinner, don't get in touch with the Song family sisters, go home and do sewing after dinner."

"Mother, didn't daddy ask my sister and I to spend more time with Liuya and the others?" Zhang Yuying was relatively young, so she didn't understand why her parents said the opposite.

"Don't worry about your father. If our family goes to Beijing with the master's family, there is no need to come back here to suffer." Regarding this matter, although Wang has accepted the reality, she is still angry with Tiezhu.Zhang Tiezhu won the attention of the master's family again. After a few years of hard work, he will definitely be able to become a senior manager. At that time, his family will not mention how respectable they are.

"Mother, why can't you let it go now? How can it be good to be a servant? I really think Dad is doing the right thing." Zhang Xiuying couldn't get used to hearing that the Wang family was at this time, and she was still thinking about the old days.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang looked at Zhang Xiuying in disbelief, never expecting her daughter, who had always been very honest, to say such words.

"I'm talking nonsense. It's not that I haven't worked in the mansion. Since I entered the mansion, I'm honest. Those sisters let me do whatever they want. The benefits are theirs, and the scolding is mine. Don't you I know what kind of life I lived in the mansion that month." Zhang Xiuying began to cry while talking.

"Why didn't you tell me and your father?" Mrs. Wang couldn't believe her ears. She thought she was a decent person with her wife, and her daughter should be valued by the lady in the lady's room, but she didn't expect that, This is what it is in the end.

"What's the use of telling you guys, you and dad are also servants of the mansion, even if you know, what can you do?" Zhang Xiuying said angrily.Although she is honest, she is not stupid. She also knows the ideas of those sisters.Just because her mother was a decent person in front of the wife, she was sent to the lady's room, and it would be a matter of time before she was promoted to the eldest maid, so everyone felt that she was an eyesore and couldn't understand her.When she knew that their family had left their citizenship, she was very happy to get out of here.

"Mother, I know that you are only thinking about us. But what you think may not be what we want. You don't know yet, the life of the eldest brother with the young master is not easy, I have several times I just saw him come back and give me medicine secretly." In the past, in order to fear that his parents would worry, he even helped the elder brother to hide it from his parents.But it's different now, if she doesn't tell these things, mother will always think that the house is the best way out for them, and will always blame father for taking their family back to the countryside to suffer.

When Wang heard this, he wept.She thought that her children's life in the house was easy, but she never thought that their life was not as satisfactory as she thought.Up to now, she is still complaining about the child's father for not doing his job well, and coming back to be a mud leg.But he didn't know that everything the child's father did was for the sake of the children.

"Mother, don't cry. I told you this not to make you cry, but to let you know that we are all willing to come back here, and I don't want you to complain about your father." Zhang Xiuying panicked when she saw Wang was crying. Tears, Zhang Yuying also burst into tears when she saw it.

Wang cried for a while and saw her two daughters crying, so she quickly stopped crying and said, "Don't cry too. Xiuying, don't worry, I won't blame your father anymore. Wait a minute, when you arrive at Song's house, you have to Get along well with the daughters of the Song family." Wang Shi has figured it out now, those days are over.We still have to look ahead.

Lunch was just ready, and Song Lao Er and the others also came back, so He asked Si Ya to invite Zhang's family next door for dinner.Siya didn't want to, so Liuya had no choice but to make a trip.When I came to Zhang's house, I saw that the courtyard door was tightly closed. Liu Ya knocked on the door with her hand. After waiting for a while, someone opened the door. It turned out to be Zhang Xiuying, the eldest daughter of Zhang's family.

When Zhang Xiuying saw Liuya, she smiled and called Liuya's sister.

Liu Ya also smiled and said: "Sister Zhang, I have finished cooking in my room, and my mother is here to ask you to come over for dinner."

"Okay, we'll be right over."

Seeing that someone had notified her and the two families were close, Liuya went home without waiting for them.

Old man Song and the others arrived first, and Mrs. Song and Zhang also came this time.However, the expression is Yanyan.It is said that the old man Song has not calmed down until now, and he still sleeps with her in a separate room.Liuya met, but she didn't sympathize with Mrs. Song and Zhang at all, thinking that this person deserved it.If Liuya was old man Song, such a woman should have retired long ago, so as not to cause trouble at home.

However, although they said they didn't want to see Mrs. Song and Zhang, they were still polite, and they would call mother-in-law when they saw her.Otherwise, if it gets out, it will be said that Mrs. He can't teach children anymore.

The mothers and mothers of the Zhang family also arrived later.However, Liuya felt that Mrs. Wang had changed a lot. As soon as this man came, she pulled Mrs. He and said that it was too much trouble for their family.At first, Mrs. He was also intimidated by her enthusiasm, but Mrs. He was relieved to see her like this.If Wang Shi ignores people, He really doesn't know how to get along with her.

When eating, men and women also sit separately.However, there are many female relatives, so there are two tables.As soon as Mrs. Li came to the table, Liu Ya felt ashamed.She was still chewing non-stop, and the chopsticks went into the bowl again to pick up vegetables.

And Liuya has been observing Wang Shi, Wang Shi frowned when she first saw Li Shi like that, but soon returned to the original state.

All in all, today's meal was very satisfying.The female relatives don't drink here, so finish eating first.

When Mrs. He saw Mrs. Wang helping to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, she was startled, and quickly told her to sit and play, and let them bring these things.But Mrs. Wang said that when the house was built, Song Lao Er didn't thank him for helping his family, and today he came to eat ready-made food. If she was not asked to help with something, she would not dare to come to the house in the future.Mrs. Wang has said so, if Mrs. He doesn't let her help, others will really think that she doesn't want people to come to her door.

While washing the dishes, Mrs. Wang was talking and laughing with Mrs. He and the others, which really had nothing to do with the rumors.Liuya felt that Wang had accepted her current life, and she really didn't know how she figured it out.However, Mrs. Wang could figure it out that normal communication with the people in the village would only benefit them and not harm them.It is also a good thing for Zhang Tiezhu, at least there will be no conflicts among the people.
