Chapter 202

Mrs. Zhang heard her muttering, and said: "What are you muttering about, don't hurry up, go over and talk first, let's get close to each other, don't make a difference. Drink and watch the moon at night."

The Liu family has achieved her goal, the family has been separated successfully, and she has also resisted the old Qin's request to get back together again. Her family's life is getting better and better, and she is very happy.As for other minutiae, she seldom cares about it, it doesn't matter if she eats or drinks, she has a lot anyway.On weekdays, they live their own lives, and the big seasons also require a lively family.

She ordered: "Yaoyao, Xiurong, hurry up." She called Qin Xian again, "Er Xian, go and call your father and Xiuxian back, stop busy work, take a rest, wash up and go It's the holidays."

Qin Xian and the others agreed, and ran to the field to call for help.

This time the festival is different from the past. Dafang sent me noodles with vegetables and meat, as well as moon cakes, jujubes, melons, etc. In addition, there was a jar of sorghum wine.In contrast, Mrs. Zhang's original preparations were very shabby. They were just a few glasses of water and wine, a few bowls of vegetables without meat, a few plates of pickled vegetables, and a few salted duck eggs that Mrs. Liu asked Xiuyao to deliver.

Because the food was from the big room, the third aunt and the second aunt couldn't say anything no matter how uncomfortable they felt, but Xiumei, Xiujuan and Xiuting were very jealous, and Xiuyao's family ate delicious food all day long.Even if they don't eat meat every day, they still eat vegetables. There is oil in the vegetables, and Xiuyao doesn't have to work.

During the meal, Lao Qin held up his wine glass and said a few words, nothing more than asking for harmony between brothers, and asked everyone to say a few words appropriate to the occasion.

"Although we have separated, we still can't get along with each other. I know your respective thoughts, so I don't mind my own business. We will be happy during the holidays." Because of that incident, He spoke a lot less harshly, but he was also a lot calmer.

Qin Dafu picked up the wine glass, "First, I wish my parents a long and healthy life. Erxian and Yangyang study, and the husband praises it. This is something to be happy about. Let's work hard together. You study hard, and we farm hard." He drank the wine, everyone followed suit, but San Shun and the others didn't take it seriously. Hearing that Er Xian and Yang Yang were studying, they all showed contemptuous expressions.

Qin Ergui was really happy, and he was happy for his elder brother's family, "Erxian, Yangyang, you study hard, you will be selected in the talent examination, and you will become a high official. Maybe we also have a double Jinshi. Let our old Qin family change their style."

Qin Sanshun answered: "You're ready, don't forget about you, Sandada."

Qin Xian curled his lips and didn't say anything. Now he is the one who hates this family the most, and he cares more than Xiuyao, but Liu's taught him that even if he is dissatisfied, he can't show disrespect, and he has to be decent on the surface, so he He just smiled faintly, and unexpectedly began to have a bit of arrogance of a scholar.

Qin Yang replied to him with a smile: "Sandada, I thought you had forgotten me, I'm always not at home, you don't remember me."

Qin Sanshun laughed wildly: "You little guy, who dares to forget you, you are the lifeblood of the old lady, and I will point to you in the future."

Qin Yang raised his chin, "That's right, I still have to go to the Jinluan Hall for the exam."

As soon as his words fell, Qin Sanshun laughed sarcastically, and the second aunt even snorted loudly. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "That's right, my little grandson is going to have an audience with the emperor. From now on, ride a tall horse!"

Qin Yang just smiled and didn't take their sarcasm seriously at all. Instead, he ate and drank without paying attention.Xiuyao and Xiurong just pretended not to hear, they were all used to Second Aunt, she would sneer at good and bad things, but never saw her say anything good.

Although Old Qin felt that their joking was a little too much, he didn't stop him, Yang Yang was still young, and the talk was lively and lively.Anyway, country people often tease children by saying that their daughter-in-law is the number one scholar.

The third aunt glanced at Qin Xian and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are all right now, you have two sons who are studying, in the future Qin Yang will earn you an imperial order, and Er Xian will settle accounts for you at home, you are beautiful. "

Mrs. Liu knew that she had bad intentions, so she said calmly: "Whether you are ordered or not is a matter of the future, no one can say. Er Xian goes to school late, and is often praised by the master for his willingness to work hard. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be fine. Read it Knowing how to read is better than opening our eyes and being blind.”

She didn't want to put too much pressure on Qin Xian. Peasant children study with good ideas. She hoped that she would be different from others and be named in the gold list.Even if you don't nominate, the book will not be read in vain.But the third aunt provoked Qin Xian like this, which made her very uncomfortable.

But when it's a big holiday, Mrs. Liu doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as her. Now that her family is living smoothly, those little things can be ignored.

Qin Dafu was happy, Qin Ergui was happy, and several of them exchanged cups and drank, letting old Qintou drink too.Old Qintou was originally afraid that Da Fang would live well, regardless of his brothers, but now seeing that Da Fu and Er Gui had a good relationship, he was relieved.

Qin Chan looked at Qin Xian and Qin Yang, two readers, chewing on words, and even talked about composing poems.The two of them have only read the old books, so what kind of poems they will know there, they just take out the recited ones to suit the occasion.Occasionally, Xiuyao also made up a few words, and everyone had a good time.

The children don't eat alcohol, and start to eat moon cakes, melons and fruits to enjoy the moon when they are full.The moonlight is like water, and the bright moon is like a plate, shining brightly on the narrow courtyard of the farmhouse like mercury pouring down the ground.

Xiuyao murmured: "This is the last Mid-Autumn Festival that our family will spend together." The eldest sister will get married in the next year, and married people can't just go back to their mother's house, let alone celebrate the festival.Not only that, but a married girl who has a son-in-law and children will be thinking about her own man and children at that time, and her natal family will naturally be later.

Thinking that the strange brother-in-law was about to snatch her sister away, Xiuyao was a little sad, but she wished her eldest sister well, after all, it was a good marriage.

Xiuyao and the others didn't want to quarrel with Xiumei and the others, so after talking for a while, they excused Tianliang to be sleepy and went home. Naturally, Liu Shi and Qin Dafu would stay and talk with Old Qintou and Zhang Shi.

Seven of Xiuyao went back to her home, locked the door, set up the table in the yard, lit teapot lanterns and hung them under the eaves for illumination, and they continued eating melon seeds and chatting.Xiuyao told them about the excitement of going to the county town, and Erxian and Qin Yang told them the story of the school happily. Take it out and say it.Everyone has to encourage him again, let him work hard, and when he succeeds in his studies, the husband will naturally be proud of him.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu An brought two more people to Dingfudou, but Jing Tu did not come.

Xiuyao asked him why he didn't come together, Liu An said: "Miss Qin, you don't know, Brother Jing, hey, I went out to go to the market to do business, but I was killed by thieves."

Xiuyao was startled suddenly, "How could it be?" She was busy on weekdays and rarely went to the market, so she never heard of anything.A few days ago, when I went to sell beets in the county, I heard that someone was killed by thieves, but I didn't expect it to be Boss Jing?

The world is impermanent, and life is not guaranteed. If you came to buy goods a few days ago, you will disappear when you look back.This made Xiuyao a little depressed, she sniffed, and said: "You didn't come to talk to me, we didn't know, my father said at that time why he didn't come to the market."

Liu An sighed and said, "We didn't know before. We saw that he didn't come to the market several times. We asked about it, and then we heard about it."

Xiuyao thought of Jingtu. He was quiet and didn't like to talk too much. It was the first time he came to her house with Liu An to talk about Fudou, and he even brought her some snacks.

Mrs. Liu came in and saw it, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, the business has not been settled, are you unhappy?"

Xiuyao wiped away her tears, and told Liu Shi about Jing Tu, Liu Shi was also surprised, and said ah: "How could this happen."

Liu An said with emotion: "Who doesn't say it? It's true that good people don't get rewarded. Those goddamn robbers really deserve to die." He also said that Jingtu's mother-in-law brought several children. Without a man, the family would not be so easy .

Mrs. Liu asked: "He's grown up too, why doesn't he inherit his father's business?"

Liu Andao: "His father was murdered, and he owed money for the goods, and the debtor came to the door. Now it is a problem for the family to eat, and there is no capital. A few days ago, some of our old acquaintances raised some money, and it was only enough for them to pay back. Part of the debt."

Xiuyao thought for a while and said to Liu Shi: "Mother, how about this, we will also credit some of the blessing beans to them at that time, it can be regarded as a meeting for everyone to help a group."

The Liu family naturally agreed, and Liu An nodded again and again, "Thank you very much, you are a good family, I will tell Jing Liang later."

Having settled on the Jing family, they talked about their own business again. This year they plan to save more, and each person needs to save three hundred catties.Xiuyao knows that she will only sell them for the past two years, so she plans to dry them more this year. Anyway, there are enough sweet potato seedlings.

Each of them wanted a hundred catties of melon seeds, and when they heard Xiuyao say that it would cost six cents, they kept shouting that it was cheap.

Xiuyao smiled and said: "What is the relationship between us, we are not for making money, we are friends." She knew that if they buy goods for such a small business, they would need at least ten cents.They paid the deposit for Fudou, and one of them bought a hundred catties of raw melon seeds to go home, and then they left.

After discussing with Liu Shi for a while, Xiuyao returned the [-] wen for selling melon seeds, and said, "Uncle Liu, please take this to Aunt Jing's family, it's our kindness."

Liu An sighed, but still accepted it. After all, the Jing family was like that, and since the Qin family was willing to help, he couldn't stop it.
