Farmhouse is so old

Leaving aside the magistrate's achievements, Tang Qing and him are considered to be in good terms now, and they do not owe each other. Occasionally, they have some superficial contacts, but they don't have much friendship in private.

On the contrary, Liu Shikang would come to Tang Qing's house every now and then, telling Tang Qing some interesting stories about the yamen and street wells, and Tang Qing also learned a lot of unknown things from it.

"This is the road. I think it can be repaired if conditions permit. Our carriages can't pass. If it is widened, I don't know how much trouble it will save." The more Tang Qing looked at the village, the more satisfied he was with the current village. He no longer felt depressed before, but instead Everywhere is thriving.

Zhou Qing didn't change his expression, he stepped on the road they were walking on, and said with a smile: "Look at the village chief, they have reserved all the road width, and they will repair it when they have time, don't worry .”

Tang Qing followed Zhou Qing's fingers and looked over. Sure enough, a lot of space was reserved in the middle of everyone's houses, and haystacks were used to mark them down.

"Let's go, there are still a lot of things that haven't been moved." The village chief and the others just need to be willing. The road from the village entrance to his house is only a few hundred meters away. It only needs labor and does not need to spend too much money.

Song Wenhu's carriage arrived slowly when the things on the carriage were almost finished. Most of the people in the carriage were sleepy, and they only regained their energy when the carriage arrived, jumping out of the carriage.

"Why so slow." Tang Qing frowned. How long had he and Zhou Qing arrived before they arrived? It was too slow.

"Uncle, you don't know this horse, it doesn't move no matter how you yell at it, and it eats the grass on the roadside all the way. We tried our best to not move it." Zhang Dong took Tang Qing's arm, aggrieved Baba said.

They suffered a lot in the carriage. In the carriage full of goods, there is not much space. They are crowded together, the horses can’t run fast, and their legs can’t support themselves. But the master is still reading, Hearing it was even more drowsy, it was simply tormented.

"I think you are lazy on the road." Tang Qing looked at the horse and then at the children who were endlessly listless, half-believing.

"Oh." The children, who had just recovered from their daze, went to carry things on the carriage in a daze.

"Sister, do you think we haven't been back for a long time, and now the Zhoujia Village has changed a lot." Zhang Dong walked into the village with his hands full, blinking in disbelief. look like.

Zhang Lan didn't have any empty hands, so she gave her younger brother a blank look: "What's so strange about this, look at what you're wearing, is it the same as you were a year ago? You are changing, so why should others remain the same. "

"I just won't be able to react for a while." Zhang Dong shrugged his head and followed behind Zhang Lan, still insisting.

No matter what Zhang Lan thinks in her younger brother's heart, the things in her hands are too heavy. She just wants to go home quickly and put down the things, and shake her hands.

"Put these in the kitchen, and put these in the ice cellar." Wang Xi'er took care of the children for a while, seeing that everyone was busy, she threw the children to Chow Tai Fook and joined in.

The things Tang Qing brought back were numerous and miscellaneous, and she couldn't do much with her old arms and legs, so she didn't add to the chaos and helped sort them in the room.

The meat has to be put in the ice cellar, and it will start to heat up when it sees the sky, and it will smell after a night. Now the villagers are living much better, and it is shameful to give them delicious meat. Besides, Tang Qing is now a nobleman. Lord, if this is not done well, it will not be a shame.

"Grandma, grandma, I'm here to help you." Liu Tiantian is almost seven years old now, combing two small whips, and ran in bouncingly, followed by Zhou Xiaohua and Liu Mu in the distance.

Wang Xi'er saw how she was bumping and jumping, and saw that there were a lot of things in the room, so she hurriedly reminded: "Slow down, slow down and don't fall."

"Little girl, run as hard as you can, I haven't caught up with you for a long time." Zhou Xiaohua and Liu Mu walked in panting with things in their hands, and teased Liu Tiantian.

Liu Tiantian made a face at Zhou Xiaohua, not afraid at all, turned around and hid behind Wang Xier.

"Okay, don't worry about it with the children. Seven, eight or nine years old are when they are naughty. I think Tiantian is very obedient. If you keep her at home, you will get bored." Sure enough, Wang Xier began to lecture Zhou Xiaohua. .

The child Liu Tiantian was raised by her. She is usually well-behaved and sensible by Zhou Xiaohua's side. Only by her side can he have a naughty side. As long as the character is not bad, it is normal for a child to be naughty.

"Mother, don't spoil her. You should be sensible at the age of seven. If you get used to your temper, it will be too late to change it later." Zhou Xiaohua taught Liu Tiantian a few words. There is really nothing to do with her. She couldn't bear it, and she couldn't yell at herself.

"I'm looking lively, come on, sweet, uncle will give you candy." Tang Qing walked in, saw this scene and helped him speak, and grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket.

Liu Tiantian quickly ran to Tang Qing's side, took the candy, and said sweetly: "Thank you uncle." After speaking, he quickly picked up a candy, stuffed it into Zhou Xiaohua's mouth, covered his mouth and smiled, "Mother, eat one Sugar won't be angry anymore."

Zhou Xiaohua was suddenly fed a piece of candy by Liu Tiantian, and when she heard what Liu Tiantian said, her mouth was filled with sweetness, and she couldn't care less about getting angry, but she couldn't get off the stage, so she could only look at Liu Mu angrily: "Everyone She is your good daughter."

Liu Mu was stupid, his hands were busy moving things, and stopped in mid-air for an instant, he didn't know what he did wrong, he could only stare blankly at everyone, not knowing what to do.

"What an idiot." Zhou Xiaohua was completely speechless, so she had to help Wang Xier sort things out.

Wang Xi'er looked at her daughter and shook her head, she was still so strong, she couldn't take any losses, fortunately, she was found by the honest and honest Liu Mu, if she found someone who was a little tougher, the couple would probably fight every day, as the saying goes , What kind of pot is suitable for what cover.

Liu Tiantian's eyes were rolling around, seeing that his mother and father were not talking, he ran to a small corner to happily pick up candy to eat, and then came out to help after eating. At that time, his mother would not remember what happened just now .

"Auntie, Auntie, are you there?" Wang Xi'er was working methodically when she heard the yelling outside, so she got up and quickly wiped her hands on the apron before going out to check the situation.

When I went out, I saw women from the village, and they were all standing outside the door with baskets, waiting for her.

Wang Xi'er probably guessed why they came here, and walked forward in three steps in two steps, with a smile on her face, and said warmly, "I'm in a good relationship today, why are you all coming together to come to my brother-in-law's house."

"Auntie, don't be surprised. My mother asked me to bring some food. We don't know what to give for the banquet held by the lord. If it is light, we will be laughed at. If it is heavy, we will not be able to bring it out." He can speak clearly in a few words, and he also warmly supports Wang Xi'er, so that people can't feel bored.

The other women were stupid and couldn't speak, so they nodded after this woman, and surrounded Wang Xi'er in threes and fives, uttering words of promise.

Wang Xi'er didn't know what they were paying attention to. When Tang Qing came back suddenly to hold a banquet, they were not prepared at all, so they had to bring some homemade things and come to check on the news.

Tang Qing had explained before that it was a happy event for him to be ennobled, and there was no need to give gifts. The child's full moon had passed long ago, and it would not be appropriate to receive gifts again, and he was afraid of offending the child, so there was no need to accept gifts this time.

"You guys, your mouth is sweet, so I'll accept the things, and you don't have to give gifts." He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and he came to the door with a smile, and he couldn't drive him away with a straight face. they replied.

The leading woman couldn't believe it, and covered her mouth in surprise: "How can this be done." Those who hold banquets without receiving gift money have to have a number more or less.

Wang Xi'er picked up her hand, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile, "I'll do it if I say so, you're a shrewd one."

This sentence is to tell her that gift money is not accepted, you are a shrewd person, and you should know what to do.

"Then I would like to thank my aunt for thinking about us." The leading woman understood instantly, and her surprise just now quickly turned into a snicker covered her mouth, and the other women didn't understand what was going on.

When Wang Xi'er finished dealing with them, she left a dozen baskets full of vegetables at the door, and she smiled triumphantly: Come on, tomorrow's food is settled, and I saved a lot of money in vain.

Now the people who grow vegetables in the village all rely on these vegetables to make money, and no one is willing to give them away except for acquaintances.Tang Qing thought that every household in the village grew vegetables, but did not buy them.

No, after half a day's work after returning home, some people eagerly come to deliver food, which can save a few taels of money.

"Jiang is still old and spicy, so she sent them away with a few words." Wang Xier entered the room, Zhou Xiaohua gave her a thumbs up, and sighed.

Wang Xi'er put the vegetable basket away, took a breath and said, "It's not that I just started practicing in the last year. When did you see so many people coming to our house before, but now your mother and I have to be surrounded by many people when I walk around the village. , it would be shameful not to learn how to speak."

"Didn't my brother-in-law always say, live and learn, I don't think your mother is bad." Zhou Xiaohua smiled at Wang Xi'er, making a small joke.

"I'm an old bone, what else can I learn, it's just to save face, but you should learn more while you are young." Wang Xi'er rubbed her sore arms. I can't help it, thinking about working in Doriso when I was young, even working for a day is not too tiring.

Seeing that Wang Xier was tired, Zhou Xiaohua helped her to sit down, rubbed her shoulders, beat her legs, and said, "Mother, you are not old, you are young, and you have to watch Tian Tian get married and Ning Ning get married and have children."

"That's for sure. None of my precious grandchildren have married yet. I have to take care of them. Look at the two of you sisters who were chosen by me. Now it proves that your mother and I have good vision." Wang Xier She remembered that when she was looking for a marriage for Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua, she did not hesitate to confront her mother-in-law and turned against Zhou Dafu's brother.Now that they are doing well, it proves that what she did at the beginning was correct.

Poverty can be survived, if life is hard, it will be hard for a lifetime.Poverty is also suffering, poor relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also suffering, poor relationship between husband and wife is also suffering, and children are even more suffering if they are not filial.

Wang Xi'er is proud when she thinks about it. The marriage of her two daughters is the wisest choice she has made in her life.
