Chapter 37

At this time, Qibao and Xiaoliu heard that grandpa and grandma were coming, and ran over quickly. Before they entered the main room, they could hear her sweet voice, "Grandpa, grandma! I miss you so much!" They saw two small figures. He rushed into Sun's arms like a little cannonball. According to his memory, Qibao rarely saw his grandparents, but his mother would take him to his grandmother's house every time during the holidays. His grandfather and grandmother were very kind to him, and every time I saved a lot of delicious food and gave it to her when she went there, but I was reluctant to eat it myself.

Mrs. Sun hugged Qibao and Xiaoliu into her arms and said curiously, "Hey, grandma's Qibao and Xiaoliu, grandma misses you two so much. We Qibao have become beautiful again after a long time, and our Xiaoliu." He looks like a little fairy boy.”

Qibao smiled and nestled in his grandma's arms, saying, "Grandma is the best grandma, and grandma is getting more and more beautiful." Xiaoliu nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Look, is this sweet little mouth eating honey? Grandma is getting older and older, how can she still be beautiful!"

Mrs. Wang laughed and scolded from the side, "Look at this girl, she forgot about me as her grandma after she had a grandma. Oh, my heart!" As she said this, she pretended to be sad and patted her chest.

Qibao immediately said, "No, grandma, grandma is the best grandma, grandma is the best grandma."

Mrs. Chen next to her said, "Old sister, is this your little granddaughter Qibao? We haven't seen her for a long time. This little girl has gained some weight. She is as fair and fair as a lucky doll."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "My dear, please stop praising her. If you praise her again, her tail will be raised to the sky." Everyone else in the room laughed.

At this time, Mr. Xu walked in from outside the house and said, "Dear relatives, the new house is about to be renovated. How about we go watch the fun together and add some joy?"

"Okay, then thank you for the invitation, let's go and have a look!" said the eldest daughter-in-law's biological father, Old Man Zhang.

The group of people arrived in front of the Xu family's new house. At this time, several men from the village were standing on the roof, each holding a bamboo basket in their hands and making preparations.

At this time, an elder in the village walked up to the new house and began to sing: "Holding the wedding candy in hand, it is as white as frost, sprinkle it from the east beam to the west beam. Sprinkle it on the beam and give birth to a noble son, and sprinkle the child on the beam and give birth to the number one scholar. The Xu family's new house will be raised on the beam today, and it will be auspicious." , set off firecrackers!”

A man in the village lit the arranged firecrackers with a stick of incense, and there was a sudden crackle. The villagers covered their ears and hid aside. When the string of firecrackers was finished, the men on the beams began to fire them one by one. Wedding candies and steamed buns were scattered below, and the children below hurriedly grabbed them one by one, and then stuffed the wedding candies and steamed buns into the cloth bags they had specially brought.

When the ceremony was over, Mr. Xu stood in front of the new house and said, "Today is a big day for my old Xu family. First of all, I want to thank the people in the village for giving me this old man face and coming to congratulate and help. For this, I have prepared several tables of wine and food at home. Everyone." Have a good meal and drink today. We have enough wine. Please move to the courtyard and the banquet will begin soon."

The villagers all thanked them one after another and swarmed to Xu's house with great joy. The yard was too small to hold the banquet, so they had to set up a few more tables at the door. However, the farmers didn't care about this and chose their seats one by one.

Mr. Xu ordered, "Everyone is here, let me arrange the dishes. Boss, you three brothers will accompany the villagers to eat, toast, and show respect. Don't lose etiquette."Seeing that his sons agreed, Mr. Xu turned around and said, "We have a table with the in-laws at noon. I will drink with you. It is rare for everyone to get together. Today is a rare occasion. Come and sit in the room." Three The in-laws greeted each other politely and followed Mr. Xu to the main table.After Mrs. Wang, along with her three daughters-in-law and two young daughters-in-law who helped from the village, had all the dishes served, she returned to the main table and sat down. There was a rush of changing glasses, and it was very lively. Everyone toasted to each other, and in their farmhouse But there is no rule that men and women sit separately.

After three rounds of drinking, the meal was almost done. None of the villagers had eaten meat and drank wine so happily. The food at the Xu family’s banquet today was outstanding. Everyone was sighing at the Xu family’s generosity. The table was already eaten. The dishes are bare.

After the villagers had almost finished eating, several women who came to help immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up to help clear the table. There were many people and strength, and soon they had packed up and were about to leave. Mrs. Wang quickly stopped them and said, "Grudge." Mom, don’t leave yet, I’ve made you tired today, come here, each of you can take two bowls of meat home to eat in the evening.”

Goudanniang and the other women who were helping said, "Auntie, this is not possible. There is no way you can eat and take food at the same time. We are not tired from doing this kind of work. We are used to doing it at home."

Mrs. Wang said, "How can this be the same? Of course you did it for yourself at your own house, but you did it for my house today. Look how clean you have tidied my house. Thank you, Auntie, anyway. I’ve eaten a lot of meat and my family can’t finish it, so I’ll treat it like my aunt asking you to help eat all the meat. If you don’t finish it, it will go bad.” Several women were very grateful after hearing this, and followed Wang’s advice. As expected, each person took two bowls and went back.

The three brothers of the Xu family also returned the tables and benches they borrowed from the villagers' houses, and also gave each family some food.After the three brothers arrived at the hall, Uncle Xu spoke and said, "Dad, when I sent my children to school today, I specifically asked the shopkeeper of the furniture store who came to deliver the furniture. The shopkeeper said that he would deliver the finished furniture in the afternoon." Mr. Xu said After hearing this, he expressed his understanding, and personally poured a cup of tea for the three in-laws and started chatting.

In Mrs. Lin's room, Mrs. Sun held her daughter's hand and said, "Honglian, it seems that you are living a good life in the Xu family. Now that the Xu family is rich, you don't have to suffer and go hungry. Mom is relieved. I see." Your two sisters-in-law are also good, you have to get along well with them."

Mrs. Lin said, "Mom, I know everything you said. My mother-in-law treats me like a daughter. My elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law treat me well and always treat me like a younger sister. The only thing I can't worry about is you and my father. I'm not at home, and your daughter is really worried about living with you and your wife." After speaking, he wiped his eyes.

Sun said, "Why are you crying? There's nothing to worry about. Your father and I are very good friends. You don't need to worry. We only have your child. As long as you live well, we will have nothing to worry about."

Lin suddenly remembered something, took two taels of silver from under the bedside quilt and stuffed it into Sun's hand, and said, "Mom, this is the pocket money my mother-in-law gave me for business at home. My daughter is fed and clothed at Xu's house." Don't worry, there is no place to spend money. I will take this money back to buy some delicious food, and you and my father should also take good care of ourselves."

Mrs. Sun immediately said, "How can this be done? Your mother-in-law gave you this money. If I take it, what will your mother-in-law's family think of me? How can you gain a foothold in the Xu family? Others will say that if you have money, you will supplement your mother's family. This money If you save it yourself, you can use it as a dowry for Qibao in the future."

Qibao walked in at this time and said, "Grandma, just accept the money that mother gave you. Qibao is not short of money. Qibao can earn as much money as he wants!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun only treated Qibao as a child, so she agreed with Qibao and said, "Okay, okay, when our Qibao grows up and makes money, how about we take grandma to spend it."
