Master is not to be provoked

After entering the room, everyone talked to someone. Guo Jizhe and Ke Yongsheng, one with power and one with money, sat across the table, drinking tea while talking about the affairs of the county. Naturally, Ke Yonglan and Zhang Huiyan also talked about cosmetics and the like thing.

Wang Changqing is a teacher, and he also has the loftiness of an intellectual. From time to time, he asks a certain child how his studies are, or discusses with Ke Xunting some things related to learning such as algebraic geometry. It looks like he is studying some subject.

Only Ke Yongshou and Zhao Zhiming were preparing meals in the outhouse, and Ke Yongmei and Ke Qingwen were also helping.

The remaining group of children ran wildly in the east and west, Wang Senlin was the oldest, and Guo Zhendong was the second generation of officials, so these two were naturally the center, Ke Lingxiao and Zhao Muguo could only be around as followers, between fighting , Wang Senlin knocked down a pot of freshly washed grapes that Hong Guifen brought in, she said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't squeeze the children here, go to the Westinghouse to play, and I will call you for dinner later."

A group of children ran to Ke Yongshou's house to the west, but Ke Muai and Jing Yunsong didn't go, they found a quiet corner to sit and wait for dinner.

Ke Yonglan bought a pack of golden monkey toffee. This candy is very expensive now. It costs a dime a piece and put it on the table. Ke Qingwen loves to eat it. She comes in to get a piece of it almost every 5 minutes. Suddenly, she sees Ke Muai and Jing Yunsong , then frowned: "How do you know how to sit? Don't you know that there are guests at home? Come out and choose dishes with me."

Ke Muai immediately turned her head to the other side, pretending she didn't hear, Jing Yunsong opened her mouth to speak, but seeing him like this, she also swallowed it back.

Ke Qingwen was very unhappy, so she walked over a few steps: "I'm talking to you! It's my grandpa's birthday, so it's fine if your family doesn't bring something. I know you can't afford it, and you don't know how to do some work, so I waited with my mouth open." Keep eating, eat for nothing!"

Jing Yunsong was annoyed: "Your younger brother is older than Xiao Ai, why didn't you let him do it?"

Ke Qingwen raised her eyebrows: "I'm talking to my little brother, it's none of your business? So you love dogs and take mice! Did I ask you? It's annoying, and besides, our old Ke's family is doing business, you are embarrassing." Mix eating and drinking, you're fine!"

Jing Yunsong was flushed with anger, clenched his small fists tightly, and shouted loudly: "You think I am willing to come, who cares about your family's food!" He walked outside.

Ke Muai stretched out his hand to hold him, and shouted at his grandfather while walking out at the same time: "Master, let's go first."

This shocked everyone in the room, Wang Changqing asked: "I haven't eaten this meal yet, why are you leaving?"

Ke Muai pointed to Ke Qingwen: "The elder sister said that our family didn't buy anything for my grandfather, and didn't help with the work, so she pretended to eat for free, and we two were embarrassed to eat and drink here. I'll go back first."

The big guys understood as soon as they heard it, because the old man and the youngest son lived together, so this birthday banquet was mainly organized by Ke Yongshou's family, and everyone else brought things. Only Ke Yongli and his wife are now invisible. The child came running to wait for the meal, Ke Qingwen couldn't bear it.

If Ke Qingwen was an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl, it would not be a big deal to say this, but she is already a 16-year-old girl, and she will be 17 after the Chinese New Year. Brothers bickering, it seems too unqualified.

As a teacher, Wang Changqing naturally has the majesty of educating people: "Your grandfather celebrates his birthday, and we sons and daughters all come to celebrate his old man's birthday. There are good and bad things, and you can take as many things as you can. Besides, your family is the host, you are the protagonist, and everyone who comes is considered a guest. Even if they don’t take anything, you can’t dislike it. Tell your second uncle, is it okay to talk to two children? In other words, if we people come today without anything in our hands, will we not be allowed to enter the hospital?"

Although Ke Qingwen's status in the family was not as high as Ke Lingxiao's, she was still spoiled. After being reprimanded so bluntly by her uncle, she immediately choked up and couldn't stop crying.

Ke Guoguang was afraid that the third daughter-in-law would not be willing, so he hurried out to make peace and said, "Okay, okay, it's just children bickering, it's not worth anything." He grabbed a handful of golden monkey toffee for Ke Qingwen, sent him to the outhouse, and He took two oranges and shared them with Ke Muai and Jing Yunsong, "Don't go home, wait here for dinner."

Jing Yunsong didn't pick it up, but Ke Muai reached out to take it, pulled him back, and whispered to him, "Don't play tricks, eat what you can eat, drink what you can drink, come when you come, and go when you want Go, listen to me, that's right."

He peeled his own orange, half for himself, and half for Jing Yunsong, but Jing Yunsong didn't eat it, so he opened it and fed it to him, causing Guo Zhendong who came back to get something to look at it several times.

After a while, the food was almost ready, and Ke Yongli also came in his car. Together with Bai Yuhuan, they brought two boxes of beer, a sausage as thick as a thigh, a roast chicken, two catties of dried tofu, and There are five bags of refried beans.

Because there are tables and chairs in the room, two big round tables are put together, it is really crowded, Ke Muai took Jing Yunsong out, stood on the steps, it was too cold, they rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, Xiwu Zhao Muguo saw, followed His mother, Ke Yongju, said: "Why is Mumu not going inside because she is freezing outside?"

Ke Yongmei came out and let the two children into the room. Ke Muai shook her head: "No, the air outside is good, and we will have dinner later."

Ke Yongmei clicked her lips: "You kid is quite vengeful, this is your old uncle's house, what can you do if you come in later." After speaking, she couldn't help but drag him and Jing Yunsong into the West Room.

Women from several families were making clothes on the kang, Ke Yonglan brought a big bag, Zhang Huiyan brought two big bags, including clothes and trousers, men's and women's, all of which were left over from their family's clothes.

Guo Jizhe and Ke Yongsheng's family is rich, and every time they meet this kind of big gathering, they will pack up the clothes eliminated by the family and distribute them to everyone. Ke Yongshou and Ke Yongju's family will choose first, and the rest will be given to Ke Yongli's family. , Ke Muai's family of three wore most of them in this way.

When the clothes were first brought, they were still seven or eight layers new, and when they were in the hands of Ke Yongshou and Ke Yongju's family, they were worn to three or four layers of newness, and then some of them needed to be patched when they arrived at Ke Yongli's house.

Ke Muai knew that if she went to pick it out now, she would definitely be told that it was not suitable for her. She remembered that when she was a child, she picked up a small shirt from Guo Zhendong, and was looked at by her third aunt Hong Guifen, so she took a patched jacket and changed it forcibly. In the end, his father was busy drinking and playing money, his mother was busy looking for true love, and no one helped him get ahead, so it was nothing in the end.

So he tactfully pulled Jing Yunsong to sit in the corner, neither picking out clothes nor playing with the other children.
