my grandmother

Linhai Town.

In the drizzle, on the slightly yellowish sea, a huge ship was not far away, and a small boat rose and fell with the waves.

On the small boat, the head Liu was wrapped in fox fur and was fishing with a pole.

Another small boat from the sea boat approached, and a black and thin man stepped onto Liu's family boat, knelt and half knelt, and said: "Miss Li has not set off at the end, and she is using the four-horse cart of the son of the world. At two quarters, Shizi left Linhai Town and headed towards Kunshan County at a fast horse speed, Shen Chu returned to Linhai Town at two quarters, and went directly to the Sea Taxation Department."

Master Liu listened intently, hummed and smiled.

Being so busy, I have to rush over to meet and see off for a ride, um, that's great!

....................................

On the sixth day, just after breakfast, a sturdy and generous cart with a green silk apron was parked in front of Hong's house.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl jumped out of the car first and stood by the car door. A woman in her fifties pressed the little girl's shoulders, got out of the car, and took a few steps forward, looking at him curiously. The porter at the side smiled and said: "I'm sorry to bother you to pass on to Second Grandma Li: I came from Pingjiang City at the behest of Second Grandma's younger sister, Li Si Niang."

When the concierge heard about Second Grandma's younger sister, he hurriedly bowed, "Wait a moment!"

The younger sister of their second grandmother is a distinguished guest of their old man who always greets them with a smile on his face!
After a while, the concierge trotted out and bowed to the woman, "Our Second Mistress invites you in."

"You wait here." The woman told the coachman, took the little girl, and followed the porter in.

Li Yinzhu was sulking with Hong Zhenye, "...Aunt said it's not good to sit all the time!"

"Grandma!" Hong Zhenye looked bitter, "No matter how smart she is, no matter how well she understands everything, she can't understand the matter of pregnancy and childbirth, right? Aunt gave birth to me and my sister, this must be a serious matter. A Niang understands better, right? You have to listen to A Niang, right?"

"We country people, we all go to work in the fields when we are pregnant. My mother gave birth to five siblings, and she has never sat still!" Li Yinzhu immediately turned back.

"Aiyo aunt, this is different. Someone is here, ouch, auntie, don't move!" Hong Zhenye held Li Yinzhu down, "I'll go, I'll go!"

"This is Grandma Sangu." The woman entered the small courtyard, met Li Yinzhu's eyes, and greeted with a smile.

Li Yinzhu slapped Hong Zhenye away and hurriedly stood up, "Who are you?"

The concierge said it was Ah Nan who sent her over, but she didn't know him.

"The little lady's surname is Lu. She has served in the Royal Medical Bureau for decades. She retired and returned to Pingjiang Bieye the year before last. Yesterday, our eldest son sent a message to ask the little lady to come and take care of the third aunt's pregnancy and childbirth."

Mother Lu's words were clear, Li Yinzhu was stunned, and then realized, "Ah Nan said that you will be here so soon, please take a seat."

Hong Zhenye's eyes widened in shock.

"Because I have to wait by the third aunt's side for several months, the little lady brought some clothes and utensils. In the car outside, I asked my uncle to ask a few people to carry them." Lu Nanny continued to laugh.

"Okay, okay! You sit down! I'll go right away!" Hong Zhenye ran out with the front of his gown in hand.

"Hey, slow down!" Li Yinzhu yelled, "Don't worry, Mammy, let him go and ask, Mammy, please sit down." Li Yinzhu gave way with a smile.

Hong Zhenye rushed out, stood at the gate, directed the concierge and several women to unload the boxes and luggage, ordered them to be moved into his yard, and hurriedly asked someone to bring the horse over, got on the horse, and went straight out to find him Weng Weng.

Old Mrs. Hong and his father, Mr. Hong, go out every day to eat New Year's wine. Today, Mrs. Hong went to Zhu County Magistrate's New Year's wine banquet at Xiangyun Building.

Hong Zhenye ran all the way into the Xiangyun Building.

He, Mr. Weng Wenghong, sat next to Zhu County Magistrate, and Mr. Li Shikuan, Mr. Li, sat next to him, Mr. Weng Weng.

Hong Zhenye rushed straight to Old Master Hong, "Weng Weng!"

"Look at you child, why are you so unruly!" Old Master Hong scolded with a serious face.

"There is an old nanny who said she came from the other side of the palace..."

When Old Master Hong heard the words Wangfu Bieye, he immediately stood up.

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Yinzhu, it's my Nan..." Hong Zhenye hurriedly explained.

"Have you bullied Yinzhu?" Old Master Hong nodded Hong Zhenye's nose.

"Ah? I bully her? I can't quarrel with her, I can't beat her, how can I bully her?" Hong Zhenye cried aggrievedly: "Listen to me, she said she came to attend to the third aunt's pregnancy and childbirth , and brought a lot of luggage.”

Old Master Hong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Shikuan, "My father-in-law?"

"Oh!" Li Shikuan said with a smile on his face: "Ah, I heard my wife talking about it years ago, saying that Yinzhu was pregnant, and Jinzhu was very worried, saying that he was looking for some secret recipe for the nobles. That day, Shi Ziye took A'nan to Linhai Town, and said it was a banquet, probably A'nan begged Shi Ziye, Shi Ziye has a vigorous temperament."

"Ah-nan is also a quick-tempered person. Look at this child, he can't speak clearly. Go to your father and see if he is all right there. Tell him to go back quickly and arrange a place for him. Let your mother also Go back, be more careful and thoughtful, and then send someone to talk to Jin Zhu." Old Master Hong told Hong Zhenye.

Hong Zhenye agreed, and then trotted all the way to find his father.

"This child, Ah Ye, has been a good fortune since he was a child." The old man of the Zhang family diagonally opposite flattered him with envy.

"It's a silly boy." Old Master Hong said with a smile.

"It means that Zhenye doesn't plan to end this year? Zhenye's academic articles are ready, and this subject will definitely pass high school." Zhu county magistrate asked with concern.

"Aye and Xuedong's knowledge and articles are all stared at by Ah Nan. Yinzhu said that Ah Nan said it. Ah Ye and Xuedong's knowledge and articles should be settled down, and they should study hard for a few years. In a hurry to end." With a trace of helplessness, Mrs. Hong turned to look at Li Shikuan, "Xuedong said that he will not end in these two or three subjects?"

"I didn't say I was dead, I said when his article made Ah Nan nod, and when he will end." Li Shikuan laughed.

"A year ago, I went to Pingjiang City to meet Liu Fu Yin, and I heard Liu Fu Yin said, Ah Nan gave advice to the deceased son?" There was a faint gossip in Zhu County Magistrate's question.

Old Mrs. Hong laughed, and looked at Li Shikuan, "Isn't the reason that Ah Nan met Shi Ziye because he asked for advice?"

"Please ask Gezhi. Ah Nan is also a naive girl. If the elder sister wants to finish her training now, the elder son will give her a golden scorpion. He will give a golden scorpion to her in the last class. When her elder sister finds out , She has already saved a lot of gold locks, and she scared her eldest sister, so she took the gold locks to find her uncle in the hall." Li Shikuan smiled helplessly.

"The son of the world is really a corporal."

"Our aunt is really talented!"

"Your aunt's knowledge is enough to be recorded in your Li family tree."

"No, it's not easy to be able to give advice to the son of the world, although it is not as good as a master, it is not easy. Even though it is a daughter's family, this has to be recorded in the genealogy!"

……

There is a lot of talk and flattery around.

....................................

The clan rules of the Li clan were to be changed, and Li Jinzhu felt that the few conditions to be changed were major matters. In addition, he had to discuss the fine cloth business with Aunt Ertang and other dozen or so other aunts and sisters-in-law in the clan. The day when my younger brother returned to Pingjiang City was postponed from the sixth day to the sixteenth day.

Li Jinzhu was busy fixing the family rules, Li Xiaonan followed Li Yuzhu and Aunt in the lobby to discuss the fine cloth business, and Li Xuedong was called by his father-in-law, Mr. Gao, to discuss the expansion of the school.

A Wu and Yu Ting became idlers, so they went out early and returned late to listen to operas everywhere.

After listening to it for two days, on the third day, when I was about to go out, sister Mei stopped me. "Don't go out, both of you, stay at home."

"How hard it is to hold back at home..."

Before Ah Wu finished speaking, Yu Ting slapped her back, "What's the matter? What did someone say? What happened?" Yu Ting carefully looked at Sister Mei's face.

Sister Mei's complexion is not very good.

"No one said anything, it's not a problem, it's just annoying, the lazy toad jumped on the instep!" Sister Mei spat in annoyance.

"Who bullied you?" Ah Wu raised his eyebrows.

"Don't talk!" Yu Ting slapped Ah Wu again, "Who's here? Your sister-in-law?"

"Those nephews of mine!" Sister Mei spat again, "It's been two days since you all left, but they're here, circling around me!"

"I won't go to the theater anymore, I didn't want to go yesterday, I was tired from standing." Yu Ting laughed.

"Me too, I'm exhausted from standing, I'm just here to accompany you, I've never liked to listen to operas!" A Wu put his hands behind his back, "I'm going to see our horses, it's time to brush their hair and braid it .”

"Let's make some zongzi to eat. Aunt said that zongzi the other day, and I want to eat it too." Yuting and Sister Mei laughed.

"Okay." Sister Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuting soaked rice and dried zong leaves, took a small stool, and sat next to Sister Mei, washing clothes and talking together.

"Your brother and sister-in-law let you adopt, have you told eldest sister yet?" Yu Ting asked.

"I didn't say that, my sister-in-law went to see the eldest sister, and the eldest sister said that this is my business, she shouldn't take care of it, and my sister-in-law is pestering me."

"You should ask Big Sister to help you take a second gear." Yu Ting suggested.

"No, I can live on my own. I'm afraid there will be a big scene. People will say that I'm bullying people by taking advantage of the elder sister's power. They can't do anything to me, I just think they are too annoying."

Sister Mei sighed.

"Besides, when I was sent back by others, my eldest brother and sister-in-law always took over. That was the most difficult time for me, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law did not die. Sigh."

Miss Mei sighed again.

"Just for this, I can help the elder brother's family, I will definitely help them, but they are too greedy, I can't help them, and I don't have the ability!"

"There are only a few days in a year, and it will be fine when we return to Pingjiang City." Yu Ting comforted her, then stopped suddenly, "Sister Mei, they didn't follow you to Pingjiang City, did they?"

"Two or three times, I didn't let them in, alas!" Sister Mei sighed again.

"Sister Mei." Yu Ting hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, although you shouldn't say this, but in Ah Wu and I's heart, you are just like our own sister, you have to say this if you shouldn't."

"Say what you say, there is nothing we can't say."

"Sister Mei, you have to hold on, don't take a single step back, as long as you take one step back, it's not a single step, it's just going all the way back, until you're backing yourself to a dead end."

Yu Ting had a serious face, stopped talking, looked left and right, stretched his head closer to Sister Mei, and said in a low voice:

"Our aunt is definitely not simple. We don't know how rich our family will be in the future. If you can't keep here, either they don't want you, or your brother's family has gained power and something happened. Your old man Not a good person."

"Second Sister also told me the same thing." Sister Mei also lowered her voice.

"Second Elder Sister knows it very well, Second Elder Sister is sincerely doing it for your own good." Yu Ting bumped Sister Mei with his shoulder, "From now on, as long as you gather in Li's house, I will accompany you and not leave any space for them .”

"Okay! I'm not afraid of them, I just find them annoying." Sister Mei smiled.
