Picking mulberries

"What's this called? A wage earner who looks like a provincial-governor-secretary. You go to work on the second day of the first lunar month. You are going to visit the poor and ask the poor. The earth can't turn around without you. Right." Zhuang Huaying complained while busy arranging the things Qiu Yang wanted to bring.

"When he is in charge of politics, he was given the position of executive manager. He should be equivalent to the boss's personal assistant. If he has something to do, he should not be on standby immediately." Qiu Jingping defended his son.

"People have to go to work on the seventh and eighth day at the earliest. Why is your company so unreasonable and urge people to go back on the second day of the new year." Zhou Guimei and the youngest daughter-in-law are rarely in the same camp.

"Your precious grandson is different from others. He is the leader of the management team and has many affairs to deal with." Hearing that his nephew was going back to Qingyuan, Qiu Jingdong and Wang Qiuxia hurried over with a lot of souvenirs.

"Generally, the leaders are very busy during the holidays." Wang Qiuxia echoed.

"Hey, when a phone call comes, people have to obediently go over, what kind of leader is that?" Zhuang Huaying snorted.

"Every year at the end of the year, many employees in the factory resign and give up their jobs, and at the beginning of the new year, they are busy negotiating about recruitment." Qiu Yang explained.

"Let me tell you, it's okay to practice and experience, but you must distinguish between priorities and not waste your studies. Don't just listen to the manager's call, you will float to the sky. You have high eyes and low abilities, and you can't recognize how many bowls of rice you have. People." Qiu Jingping exhorted.

"Know it."

"Is there anything that is not wasteful? Nowadays, colleges don't provide assignments. Graduation means unemployment. Don't listen to your father. Since you have such a good opportunity, you should firmly grasp it and focus on doing a good job in this company. The boss thinks highly of you, and you die for your confidant, so you have to show yourself and use your performance to speak for yourself." Qiu Jingdong said.

"The author thinks highly of him, so you have to sell yourself to him. Don't listen to them, Ah Yang, as happy as you are, you are still young, so there are so many burdens, and you don't need to make money to support the family." Wang Qiuxia said to her uncle and her husband. Very disdainful.

"I don't expect you to get ahead, as long as you don't learn bad things, don't prostitute, don't gamble or get involved in drugs, no matter what you do." Zhuang Huaying stuffed a bag of things into the trunk of the car in a fit of anger, she was really the boss who urged her to die Years ago, I asked my son to bring a lot of good things home, otherwise he would not be allowed to take any of them.

"What if I'm single and not married?" Qiu Yang laughed.

"How dare you!" Qiu Jingping scolded with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm going to take my girlfriend home to have a look at it this year. If nothing else, just be considerate of my aunt's troubles." Seeing that the trunk was full, Wang Qiuxia began to stuff it into the back seat.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely bring my partner home this year, just wait and make sure to complete the task." Qiu Yang said with a chuckle.

"When I'm coming, let me know in advance, so I can clean up the house." Zhuang Huaying was overjoyed.

"Can you still turn our house into a palace?" Qiu Jingping was actually looking forward to it.

"Yangbao, you are now a manager. If you have any highest instructions on the layout of the house, we promise to make rectifications according to your requirements." Zhou Guimei asked happily.

"Jide, your grandparents and grandchildren don't want to think about my house. It must be remodeled according to the two of you. This will definitely become a temple style. I don't want to be the host in cassock." Qiu Jingping laughed.

"It's up to you to change it according to who's style. The family implements democratic centralism and votes." Zhou Guimei said.

"Then you should be democratic first, and come to me to gather at the end." Qiu Jingping said.

"There are four in your family. An even number is not allowed. The voting is easy to split in half. Let me and your sister-in-law and grandfather be added." Qiu Jingdong also got involved.

"By the way, ma'am," Qiu Yang said to Wang Qiuxia, "When I visited my brother yesterday, he said that he was going to have a baby this year."

"Really?" Wang Qiuxia was overjoyed when she heard that.

"What did he say?" Qiu Jingdong hurriedly asked.

"I heard it seems that my sister-in-law's natal family is pushing me hard. My brother's mother-in-law is urging me to go to his house to chant scriptures every day. My sister-in-law couldn't stand the harassment, so she agreed."

"Hey, my in-laws have done a great merit. This is the first time I feel that my in-laws are really close." Wang Qiuxia stroked her hands.

"Does the sister-in-law also have to say that if she lives in Shenzhen for a year or so, she must consolidate the achievements of the battle?" Zhuang Huaying also said happily.

"Since they have turned around, it doesn't matter if I go or not," Wang Qiuxia hurriedly clapped her hands on her body, "No, I have to go to the temple to thank the Bodhisattva right now, and I have to burn incense with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and let the Bodhisattva send me a bodhisattva. Good grandson to me."

"Hmph, when you are called to go to the temple during Lent, you always excuse yourself for something. Now you know that you are holding on to Buddha's feet temporarily. You are usually not sincere. At this time, the Bodhisattva may not talk to you." Zhou Guimei teased.

"I have to go if you don't care. Mom, from now on, if you go to the temple, I will follow."

"It's a bit far to go to Liukong Temple, why don't we worship at the Earth Temple in front of the village today? We'll talk about it when someone organizes a chartered car to go." Qiu Jingdong said.

"Where is it far away? Isn't it the next village? You can take me there by motorcycle," Wang Qiuxia turned to Qiu Yang and said, "There are a lot of cars on the road to celebrate the New Year, so drive carefully and don't hurry." Hastily pulled away.

"Yang Bao, Ah Hong's words are reliable?" Zhou Guimei hurriedly asked Qiu Yang after the eldest son and his wife had left.After all, I have been married for so many years and have always insisted on not having children. This sudden change of direction made Zhou Guimei a little unbelievable.

"What's unreliable about this? It's not right to have children. You will want them when you reach a certain age. Just wait to be a grandma." Qiu Jingping said.

Under the nagging of his grandmother, Qiu Yang, who was carrying a car full of country specialties, finally set out on the road. Thinking that he would see Cui Dongxu soon, he wished that the car could grow two wings.Sure enough, there were a lot of cars on the road, especially the roads in towns and villages. The traffic jam was like a long queue. The journey took less than two hours, but it took more than four hours.

When we arrived at Cui's house, it was already past lunch time. Because we kept in touch on the way, Su Ma specially postponed the meal time until Qiu Yang arrived home.Because he knew that the relationship between the two had been made public at home, Cui Dongxu originally thought that Qiu Yang would be a little embarrassed, so he deliberately thought of a few excuses to help him cover it up. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yang has a thick skin and naturally greeted his elders when he got home. After the new year, he took the New Year's gift package from Cui Shicheng very unceremoniously.Cui Dongxu said in his heart, come on, being defeated by you, thick skin is also a good thing, so I won't waste my energy trying to resolve the embarrassment for you.

After dinner, Qiu Yang moved all the things from the car, and Cui Dongxu wanted to help, but Qiu Yang insisted not to let Cui Dongxu intervene as if moving a bag would tire his sweetheart.This show of affection in person, Cui Shicheng wished he could kick him to Siberia, brat, if I have no objection, he will kick his nose in the face.

"Bring them all here today? You are using the company's car as a truck." Looking at the hills of pots, pots, baskets and bags in the living room, Cui Shicheng couldn't believe his eyes.

"You're not going home for the New Year. You're a devil entering the village. How can the car fit in? There's no room for the driver's cab." Cui Dongxu was also a little surprised.

"Oh, these are all good things, Mr. Cui, those special offerings at home are not as good as these. Look at this meat, look at this cured fish, and this mulberry sauce, six preserved meat, and loquat paste. Wow, There are also fresh mushrooms, there are so many kinds, oh, this is dried bamboo shoots, this is vermicelli, this is orange peel sauce, this is..." Qiu Yang's things moved in and Su's mother didn't stay idle, she will read this for a while Looking at that, I saw several bags outside the hall door, so I went over to open it to see what it was, "Yo, what's in this bag? It's still alive... oh, it's chickens and ducks, or mallard ducks. "

"Just take some to taste, why did you make so much?" Cui Shiying, who has always been unimpressed with the high-end food at home, saw these things with a sense of intimacy, and rushed over to help tidy them up.

"The teacher is not so much a relative, so give them something to try." Qiu Yang said honestly.

"I don't," Cui Dongxu refused, "These are all things I like to eat, and I can't put them down at home, just eat slowly. They want to try something new, so just come to our house to eat."

"Hey, it's rare for you to be stingy." Cui Shicheng laughed.

"Teacher, don't move, let Mama Su and I come." Seeing Cui Dongxu helping to lift things, Qiu Yang hurriedly stopped him.

"It's okay, don't go too far, it's not a high-risk item, he can tire him if he bends over." Cui Shicheng couldn't stand it.

"It's not that I'm afraid of tiring the teacher, it's that he is not familiar with the arrangement of materials at home. If he messes up, Mama Su and I will have to rearrange them again." Qiu Yang said shyly.

"From now on, it's changed." Cui Shicheng gave Qiu Yang a blank look.

"Change...what to change?" Qiu Yang was at a loss.

"Don't call me teacher at home, I'm listening to it now." Cui Shicheng snorted.

"What's that called?" Qiu Yang muttered and acted cute in front of Cui Shicheng.

"You can yell whatever you want when you were carrying me on your back." Cui Shicheng looked at this sunny face, feeling very warm in his heart.

"Then it's called Xu Xu."

"Xu Xu, didn't you say he was uncle?" Cui Shicheng deliberately teased him.

"Didn't I just coax you temporarily because I was afraid that you would become suspicious." Qiu Yang's face, which was as thick as the Great Wall, finally turned red.Once when I was on a business trip with Cui Shicheng, when I called Cui Dongxu on the mobile phone, I called Xuxu casually. Cui Shicheng asked him, and he said you misheard, I called uncle.

"The teacher is so unfamiliar, but Xu Xu is the best listener, isn't it?" Mama Su quickly took over the conversation and said to Cui Shiying.

"Well, it's not good for a teacher to eat at home every day." Cui Shiying nodded.

"What is this?" Su's mother held up a long red cloth package and asked.

"Open it and have a look." Qiu Yang deliberately kept it a secret.

"Then I have to take a good look." Mama Su carefully placed the cloth wrap on the table in the living room, and slowly lifted the red wrap.After hearing what Qiu Yang said, everyone noticed that the package was on it.

"A Yang, what kind of fabric is this?" Cui Shicheng also changed his mouth unintentionally, no longer biting Xiaoqiu one by one.

"It's silk and satin." Su's mother couldn't help touching it, but she quickly retracted as soon as she touched it, fearing that the rough palm would be caught in silk.

"Lu Qiusi." Qiu Yang explained.

"Impossible," Cui Shicheng was a little disbelieving, "Is this the tribute from the previous palace? Can you make a tribute?"

"What's impossible, no matter how the tribute is made by people, the 'Luqiu silk' was made by their Qiu family." Cui Dongxu said.

"Yes, yes, I forgot all of a sudden, your family is the inheritor of the weaving art of 'Luqiu silk'." Cui Shicheng suddenly realized.

"Is this the fabric worn by nobles in the palace?" Cui Shiying was amazed.

"That was all in the past," Qiu Yang tore off a fresh-keeping bag and put it on his hand, and slowly unfolded the piece of silk and satin, "Now the weaving technology is advanced, the efficiency of the machine is fast, the colors are rich, and the dyeing is easy. The technique is superb, and the "Luqiu silk" of our old Qiu family has long since declined, and there are very few families that can weave it. If the government does not strongly support folk intangible cultural heritage, this technique may be lost."

"No matter how advanced the machine technology is now, I don't think it is as good as this," Su's mother praised, "I'm afraid your family has spent a long time working hard."

"I wove one piece this year, and here is one-third, and the rest were bought by the government. My ancestors told me to bring Uncle Cui, Auntie, and Mama Su to make Tang suits." Qiu Yang thought to himself, Eat people short-mouthed, who told him to like your foreign wine.

"If I made clothes, I wouldn't be willing to wear them." Cui Shicheng finally met the rumored "Lu Qiusi", who still made clothes for himself, so he was naturally overjoyed.

"Isn't it for me?" Cui Dongxu asked authentically.I thought to myself, usually when I go out, I will buy you up and down, and finally I have a rare fabric, but I don’t even have mine.

"Do you want this color too?" Qiu Yang said amusedly, "I'll bring it for you when I have a suitable color next time."

"Oh, all right." Cui Dongxu took a closer look and found that it was not suitable for him to wear, so he felt better.

"Oh, seeing so many things, you can tell at a glance that your parents probably don't have a free time all year round." Su Ma said with emotion.

"That's true, especially my mother and my grandma. I really haven't seen them take a good rest." When Su's mother mentioned it, Qiu Yang suddenly felt guilty.

"When you graduate and your job is stable, let them have a good rest and travel around." Cui Dongxu laughed.

"Sister, are you ready? Let's go." Cui Shicheng said to Cui Shiying and Su Ma.

"The clothes have been changed a long time ago, and you can go out at any time." Cui Shiying said.

"Where are you going?" Qiu Yang asked.

"Uncle Dongxu invited the three of us old fellows to eat Western food instead of Western food." Cui Shiying said cheerfully.

"You didn't invite me and Xu Xu?"

"What are you guys doing? I'm tired of eating. We old people are here to try something new." Su Ma said.

"After driving for a whole morning, and busy with a lot of things, take a good rest at home in the afternoon." Cui Dongxu said to Qiu Yang.

"That's right, you have a good rest, let's go." Cui Shicheng said in his heart, brat, it's only been a few days since we separated, when you look at my son, your eyes turn red, and you won't recognize each other if you create a chance for you to be alone.

"It's too early to go now." As soon as Qiu Yang finished speaking, Cui Dongxu slapped him hard on the back, and he immediately reacted, "Oh, you go, there is a temple fair on the street, so you can go shopping by the way."
