Chapter 593 Bitterness and joy (five) (3)
Shen Ji said: "I don't believe that there is no place to play ice games in our village. The small river ditch is narrow, but it's better than the long one. As long as the ice hardens, it's fine. Let people see it later. Look, if I can, I will take you there to play in the afternoon."

Of course, Xiaohegou is not as good as a place specially set up by others to play ice games, but it can still be played.Shen Ji said to Wei Ying: "In this way, we can see people's hearts. It is clear at a glance who is a real friend and who is a fake friend. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the emperor's appointment and dismissal of officials cannot be influenced by me, but he has to be blind."

Just as he was talking, his servants reported that Xu Mao's family had arrived.

Thinking about what the teacher did in the same year, Wei Ying, who was full of depression, couldn't help but show his face, "Please come quickly!" A fine man like Xu Mao, who has been in the officialdom for nearly ten years, how could he not know that he was secretly demoted by Mingsheng up.Before that, she had been cold and indifferent, which made Wei Ying feel somewhat uncomfortable.After all, apart from the same age, the two are still friends.Only when the whole family came over now, did they show their sincerity.

Shen Ji thought that Xu Yun loves steak, so he asked the chef to prepare it.This year's cattle cannot be killed easily, they are agricultural labor, and only the old and weak cattle of the farmers can be killed after they report to the government and get permission.However, in fact, it does not prevent people with connections from eating as much as they want, and who would come to their door for this.Now that it is outside the city, it is inconvenient to go into the city the same way to buy it.However, Shen Ji asked people to raise cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks in this Zhuangzi, saying that the food raised in his Zhuangzi was delicious.Even the eggs that are given to Xiaozhima's siblings every day are produced on their own village.It's cold now, and the cattle can be kept for a long time after being killed, so they are ready for the New Year.

The three children ate very vigorously, all puffed out their cheeks and kept chewing. Wei Ying and Xu Mao sat on the kang drinking and talking.

Xu Mao was asking Wei Ying, "But what happened when you refused to recruit?"

"Hard to say!"

Xu Mao was silent for a while, "This is the difference between you and me. If you have the same temperament, you can't change it. However, you have experienced a lot of adversity, so I don't think you will be depressed."

Wei Ying nodded, "You can't always advance bravely in a lifetime, sometimes it's not a bad thing to take a step back."

"That's it. It's a blessing in disguise. By the way, is there any news about Fatty Hu coming in?"

Speaking of Fatty Hu, Wei Ying smiled, "His family's business was also affected by the national mourning, and the profit was greatly reduced. But fortunately, there are a lot of fields in Hu's village, so it won't be hurt. He gave a few days ago I sent a letter saying that I will be a grandfather in March or April next year."

Xu Mao raised his eyebrows, "Are you here to show off again?" He said while looking at the little bun who didn't know anything.Xiao Baozi is less than two years old, and Fatty Hu's son is already fourteen.In those days, there was no lack of talking about this in front of Wei Ying.

"It's not this time. He himself is a father at sixteen, but he didn't expect the eldest son to be a young man. Now the girl next to him has a baby. The three generations of their family are single, and the old lady has decided to stay. He is worried about how to teach his son. That's good. He was too young when he became a father, and he was completely lost to the women in the family. Now he is well-raised, ahem, a bit unruly. He wants to be disciplined, and three generations of women in the family come out to stop him. I have a terrible headache I am afraid that there will be no outstanding people to inherit the huge industry in the future."

Xu Mao sneered twice, "How did you reply there?"

"I told him that since his son has grown crooked, it is very difficult to pull it back. It is better to be so rich and raise him and let others stare at him, as long as he does not go out to cause trouble. Now that he is only 32, it is better to focus on it. It’s better to raise your grandson well.”

Xu Mao laughed out loud, "This is a way."

Shen Ji only gave each of the three children a piece of steak, lest they would not be able to eat the main meal.At noon, I ate beef hot pot. It is the most comfortable to eat hot pot in this kind of weather.Even the wine that Wei Ying and Xu Mao drank, she only brought it hot so as not to chill her stomach.She was very grateful to Xu Mao. Wei Ying was in a period of depression, and he had a lot of old friends. He was able to come to visit, which showed that he was a real friend.

Xu Mao has held the same position for four consecutive terms over the years, and this is the first year of his fourth term.The Xu family has a large family business, so they need people to travel between Beijing and China, and they need people to have a place in the officialdom.It is because the Chen family is one of the four major merchants in the south of the Yangtze River that they married the eldest daughter Xu over because he is an official.Therefore, when he became an official, he completely fulfilled his family responsibilities, which was very different from Wei Ying.However, these two people with very different personalities met when they were studying abroad, and they hit it off right away. It is really rare that these years of political differences have not affected their friendship.

She looked at the little sesame bun who was having a great time with Xu Yun, and remembered Fuye's joke back then that Xiaozhima would be appointed to her family's Along as the imperial concubine.At that time, Shen Ji politely declined, because Aaron's identity will not only be a woman in the future.On the contrary, Xu Mao hasn't taken a concubine these years. Although he was absurd before marriage, he is completely a good man now.Xu Yun is also a junior whom she likes very much. He is knowledgeable and polite, and has a good temper.He can play with Xiaozhizhi and Xiaobaozi, uh, in fact, it should be said that he treats his younger siblings well, so Xiaozhizhi and Xiaobaozi like him.It is Chen Shi, who has a straightforward and generous temperament, and is not a person with a small belly.

Oh, stop, stop, her little sesame is not yet four years old.Was she influenced by Fatty Hu? She actually started worrying about what would happen ten years later.So while giving way to Mrs. Chen, she gave vegetables to the children, treating them equally.

Chen just stared at her son and Xiao Zhima in a daze with Shen Ji, and Xu Mao and Wei Ying were there talking about Fatty Hu's family affairs.It's just that Xiaozhizhi is too young, and it's too early to tell.She attaches great importance to Shen Ji's ability to manage the inner house and expand business. If she wants to laugh at her mother, Xiao Zhizhi will definitely be good in the future.

Xu Mao and Wei Ying have very different personalities, while Chen Shi and Shen Ji are like-minded in many respects.For example, they can't tolerate concubines and concubines, and they don't like their husbands and sons-in-law looking for lords. They all like to take care of business...

The three members of the Xu family took their leave after lunch, and Shen sent someone to pick up thirty to forty catties of the best part of the beef for them to take back.There are two foodies in Chen's family, big and small, and they don't refuse.Although Xiaozhizhi was thinking about Bingxi, in fact, soaking in hot springs is quite exhausting, so he didn't talk about it after taking a nap.On the other hand, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Baozi dressed properly and went to step on the snow, and took Wei Ying and Shen Ji to watch.

Now the snow has stopped, it is really a pleasure to step on the snow, after watching for a while, Shen Ji also ran over, leading his children to play around in the courtyard.Wei Ying stood under the eaves with her hands behind her back and smiled, shaking her head from time to time.Speaking of which, Shen Ji has been married for nearly ten years, with a couple of sons and daughters. He is impeccable in his work, but he still shows a little childlike innocence from time to time.Today, Wei Ying didn't mean to hold on to their mother-in-law at all, just smiled and said: "You guys have guessed something, there is a big piece of snow, and you have to step on it in a mess." This is what Shen sent in the morning. Sweeping snow, so there is this whole white scene.
