Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

There is no need to ask your mother-in-law to answer this question. The old lady is snobbish and wants to be coaxed. I have given your daughter the right remedy.

Zhou Banxia thought about it, and nodded tactfully, acting like a good and obedient girl, which made Li laugh again.

After leaving the upper room and reaching the door, Zhou Banxia didn't dare let her mother see her out.

Listen, the sound of firecrackers is ringing.

The ancestor worship ceremony is over.

Although there is a cook at home, the mother of the family still has to take care of the New Year's Eve dinner. Soon, her father and his two sons will be home soon.

Unlike her father-in-law, who particularly values ​​the relationship between parents and brothers, when he learned that his eldest son was plotted against by his eldest brother, he would at most stop communicating with him. But her father doesn't care who the eldest brother is.

You are unkind, and yet you expect me to be righteous?
I can't do anything to you if I'm weak, so I'll just sneak up on you and hit you with a club.

Her father didn't care whether he had evidence or not. After the two sisters were sold, her father would "serve" the eldest brother well every year.

Aren’t you the favored eldest son?
The surrogate mother should be punished.

Even now, even old man Zhou Daniu is afraid of "falling" when going out after dark.

Her father got very angry.

Like today when they went to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, those blood relatives would definitely be present. Her father would not be willing to stay with those people for even a second longer. As soon as the worship ceremony was over, he would definitely go home immediately.

Fortunately, Maidong knew to take a carriage when he returned to the manor to get something, and Zhou Banxia didn't have time to walk a few steps and hurried to get on the carriage.

Leaving Maidong at her mother's house to deliver the return gift will ensure she won't be caught by her father.

Not only is her father bad-tempered, he is also very frugal.

Even though his children have made him proud and he has plenty of money, if her father sees her and gives him a gift worth more than fried meatballs, and doesn't beat or scold the children on New Year's Eve, her father will still get angry with her.

If Maidong stayed to return the gift, there would be no problem of her father getting angry. No matter how frugal her father was, he would never let his daughter be in a position of powerlessness in front of the maids and old women.

No matter how much her father felt hurt, annoyed, or disliked her for being so loose, the most he could do was wait until after the New Year to give her a good scolding.

Hehe, just wait until after the New Year and then coax her properly.

"Is that your third sister's carriage?"

Zhou Sishun exchanged greetings with his clan brothers and walked out of the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall. On his way home, he was about a hundred steps away from home when he saw a carriage leaving in the opposite direction.

Xiao He jumped and stretched his neck, shaking his father's big hand that was holding his little hand, "Yes, Daddy, it's the big carriage with the big couch inside."

Dajiang looked at his brother in silence.

Xiao He stood up immediately and said, "Brother, today is New Year's Eve, we are the first to come back, everyone is either at home or still in the ancestral hall.

Dad, it must be that the third sister went home first. Usually, this carriage is not used to deliver things here. Why didn’t the third sister wait for me to come back?”

You must have done something to be afraid of being scolded by me, your father. Otherwise, why didn’t you set off firecrackers in the ancestral hall too loudly? I’m sure you couldn’t hear them. Why are you in such a hurry to slip away?
Zhou Sishun laughed and shook his head, "Your third sister is very thoughtful. It's not that far away, and you won't be able to see your third sister anytime soon. She wants to rush back before your third brother-in-law and his family get home.

Learn more, listen to what you learn in books, and know how to do things and deal with people in daily life. It won’t do any harm if you take a look at how your third sister does it.

Don't stare at books all the time, listen and watch more about the outside world, and think about what your third sister and brother-in-law would do. Especially you, Dajiang, your brother is still young, he can figure it out slowly, but you are different, since you have made up your mind to try it out, it depends on you to figure it out on your own.

Okay, let’s stop talking. Let’s go in and see what good things your third sister has done since returning, and listen to how happy your mother is. She’s laughing so hard that the whole village can hear her.”

Dajiang, who wanted to express his opinion a step late: ...

"Brother, hurry up."

"I'm coming." Dajiang walked quickly to the other side of his father, "Dad, you are good, better than anyone else. Your son will do his best. Be careful of the steps."

Zhou Sishun wanted to praise his son like his relative Gu Erzhu, but in the end he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You're too tired. We won't be hungry at home."

"Okay, son, I understand."

"My son also understands, Dad."

"Really? Then tell me, what do you understand?"

"Watch more, listen more, talk less—" Xiao He covered his mouth and giggled, then he jumped forward a few steps and shouted in his little voice, "Mom, we are back~"

"Dad, is Xiaohe very smart? He is much smarter than I was when I was a kid."

"You are sensible at an early age, and you are as smart as your brother. Among you siblings, you can tell from birth that the smartest one is -" Zhou Si paused and turned to look in the direction of the ancestral hall, "your second sister. Your eldest sister has been quick-witted and quick-handed since she was young, and she is the most hardworking.

Your second sister doesn't talk much but she's very thoughtful. She's very capable and your eldest sister listens to her. She can manage half of the family, but she's too smart and thinks too much."

Dad thought he was too clever but ended up making the best of his own business. Dajiang quickly interrupted his father while he was commemorating his second sister who unfortunately died young, to prevent him from blaming himself again.

"What about the third sister after she was born?"

"The most sensible and well-behaved. It seems that your third sister knew from the moment she was born that she was not welcome. Your eldest and second sisters started crying and making a fuss when they were born and it was impossible to comfort them.

Your third sister didn't cry when she was hungry when she was born. She was a small ball, but she was very patient. She would not cry until someone walked up to her, then she would whimper very quietly.

If she is full and well-behaved, she will not cry no matter who bothers her. Just like now, it is rare to see her unhappy and smiling.

There were many times when she felt unwell when she was a child, and she looked listless. When I asked her what was wrong, she would put on a fake smile and say she was fine and just feeling sleepy.

Since birth, she has been a sensible child like you. Except for the first year when she was not in good health and made Dad worry, she has been the child that Dad has least to worry about."

Da Jiang smiled and said, "Third sister wasn't in good health when she was young?"

"Yes." Zhou Sishun looked up at the sky. He almost grew up, and asked God to bless him. "Your third sister was less than a hundred days old, and you were frozen when you were almost a year old.

You and your sister are the easiest to take care of. You and your third sister are the most alike. You both weighed 5.62 kg when you were born, and you were both born the next day when the sun came out.

The most coincidental thing was that it rained for two days in a row when your mother was about to give birth to you two. The rain stopped on the second day when you and your sister were born and the sun came out.

As the saying goes, 'A girl won't be born at noon, and a boy won't be born at midnight.' According to the older generation, you were born at the best time, and it happened to be a sunny day.

When you were just born, your father was worried that you wouldn't be able to hold back the blessing, so he asked your third grandmother and others to hold you. I thought you had been held back, but who would have thought that you were still cold when you were almost one year old.

It turns out that it was the villain who was causing all this trouble. As soon as our family adopted someone else, your uncle was able to come and look for your third sister, and even you passed the imperial examination. Everything went smoothly for you." (End of this chapter)
