After finishing the business of dividing the family, the Chinese New Year is about to begin. Even if Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu move there now, the house in the yard of Uncle Chu's house is still enough to live in.
But when they arrived, Mrs. Wang and Uncle Chu had not prepared anything. They had to vacate the main room first, and also tidy up the side room where they would live in later. Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu also had many things here that needed a little bit. Clean up, and secondly, the new year is coming again. No matter how much I worry about Chu Yi and the younger ones, I can't take advantage of this time to urge the elders to move.
Anyway, the ancestral hall has been opened and the family tree has been rewritten. Now they are two families. Even if Mr. Chu and Aunt Chu have to live for a while, it doesn't matter to Shen Luzhu, as long as no one can damage their house. Just point fingers and think whatever you want.
Even after the family was divided, Shen Luzhu was still in a very good mood, and he could continue to be with Uncle Chu and Xiu Xiu. Even looking at Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu felt that they were much more pleasing to the eye than before. She has a family, but she is the elder after all, and they are still living under the same roof. She can prepare three meals a day by herself, but who would have thought that Grandpa Chu is probably still angry and will give in to anything. Grandma Chu separated the food from Chu Yi and the others, but there was only one kitchen in the house. In the end, Wang was so tired that she ran to the old house three times a day to deliver food to her two elders.
Shen Luzhu didn't care about this. He continued to sell paper money every day and live a prosperous life.
This year, the paper money shop was open until noon on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month before it closed completely. After a break at noon, in the afternoon the young couple drove the ox cart and took the whole family of five to the town to buy new year's goods.
Since Uncle Chu's accident, he rarely wandered around the village, let alone went to the town. He didn't want to follow him at first this time. After all, his legs and feet were not flexible, so everyone had to take care of themselves if he went with him. On the contrary, it affected the interest of several children, but the four juniors couldn't stand it, so they took turns trying to persuade her, as if they had agreed upon it, and even shouted that if Uncle Chu didn't go, then they wouldn't go either!
A few people walked around all afternoon, and even had dinner directly at a restaurant in the town, before pulling an entire oxcart of New Year's goods and staggering home.
It was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. By this time, almost every family was almost ready, waiting for the next day to be the New Year’s Eve. The young couple invited relatives and friends to come over to their house to eat hot pot, thinking Taking advantage of the excitement of the year before, I would also like to thank everyone for their help and support when the two had an accident.
It was only after noon, and people started to come to the Chu family one after another. Everyone gathered in the house, played cards and mahjong, chatted and had fun. In the middle of the afternoon, they were busy preparing ingredients together.
Chu Yi saw Shen Luzhu frequently looking outside the courtyard, and knew that his wife was watching to see when Aunt Cui's family would arrive, so he went over and whispered, "Aunt and the others may have some work at home and have been delayed."
Shen Luzhu looked away, nodded and smiled at Chu Yi: "It's okay, I just took a look. We also made an appointment for dinner, and it's still early!"
Chu Yi took the handkerchief hanging on the wall next to the kitchen, wiped his wife's hands, and then said, "Leave the rest to me."
Shen Luzhu looked at it and refused Chu Yi's kindness without being pretentious. She probably had the memory of a modern person in her previous life. She never felt that housework should be women's. Even though this was the common understanding of this era, Fortunately, Chu Yi has always been very considerate to her.
"Okay, then I'll stay with you here, and we'll go back to the house later."
Chu Yi continued to wash the dishes in his hands and replied: "Well, listen to A Zhu."
After preparing the ingredients and drinks for the evening, everyone gathered in the house and played for a long time. Seeing that it was time for dinner, Aunt Cui and Jiang Juan's family had not arrived yet. Shen Luzhu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Did something happen?
"Chu Yi, why don't we go to my aunt's house and have a look? Why aren't you here at this hour?"
Chu Yi patted his wife's hand reassuringly: "You are at home. You guys will eat first while I go over and take a look."
After hearing this, Qian hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the young couple: "Yes, yes, yes, Lu Zhu, you are at home, just ask Chu Ping to follow A Yi. Don't worry, you may have forgotten or been disturbed by something." I'm stuck."
"Yes, cousin, I'll just go with my cousin. Maybe we'll bump into each other halfway!"
Shen's mother was chatting with her cousin Mrs. Yu at the side. When she saw this, she came over to ask about the situation: "Why don't you let your second brother also go with me? In case there is some manipulation by the moderator, there will be a lot of trouble." Personal help is not!”
As they were talking, they saw the door of the room being opened from the outside. It was Aunt Cui's family of five: "Something at home has delayed us. Are we too late?"
Seeing this, Shen Luzhu hurriedly greeted her: "It's not too late, it's not too late, my aunt came at the right time!"
The second aunt who had just been chatting with someone in the back also heard the sound and came out at this time: "My sister's family is finally here. We heard Lu Zhu talking about this hot pot before, but unfortunately we never had it. If you don't come again, Ah, I’m afraid my saliva is going to flow out!”
"Second sister-in-law really loves to joke. Even if my second brother makes a comment, it can't be you, second sister-in-law!"
Several elders held Xiaobao in their arms and entered the house chatting and laughing. Shen Luzhu deliberately slowed down his pace and walked at the end with Jiang Juan and Jiang Quan: "What happened at home?"
"Cousin..."
Just as Jiang Quan was about to speak, he was stopped by Jiang Juan: "It's nothing big, cousin. Let's not mention these disappointing things for now. I'll talk to my cousin later."
Shen Luzhu saw that Aunt Cui and Father Jiang had no abnormal expressions just now, and so did Jiang Juan and Jiang Quan now. Shen Luzhu thought that it shouldn't be a big deal. There were indeed many people at home today, and it was inconvenient to talk about the private affairs of the Jiang family: "Nacheng, if you have anything to do, you must tell me and Chu Yi. Let's come up with ideas together. There is strength in numbers!"
"Don't worry, cousin, it's nothing serious. I'll tell you and my cousin if anything happens!"
"That's good, come in quickly. I've prepared a lot of food and hotpot today. I even made fish porridge and pastries for Xiaobao!"
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, a group of people were eating hot pot around the steaming pot. It was warm and lively. After eating two chopsticks, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but praise: "This hot pot is really good. It's just right for this winter." Let’s have a good meal, we really took advantage of Lu Zhu today, only her smart little brain can come up with this kind of food!”
Shen Luzhu smiled across from him and said, "I also saw it in some book. If Grandma Tang likes it, we will cook it and eat it often in the future."
Shen's mother also laughed and joked: "She has loved reading miscellaneous books since she was a child, and she has never stopped coming up with weird ideas!"
Old Mrs. Yu smiled even more heartily: "Such a good daughter-in-law, we Ayi are lucky to marry Lu Zhu! Grandma Tang would like to congratulate you, Lu Zhu. From now on, you can live according to your own ideas and never have to Pay attention to those unlucky ones!"
After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she winked at Shen Luzhu mischievously. Shen Luzhu was so amused that she said, "Yeah! Thank you, Grandma Tang!"
Everyone present knew what Mrs. Yu was talking about, but no one except her dared to say it directly so carelessly. They all laughed in tacit understanding when they heard this!
After a lively hot pot meal, the table was cleared very late. Chu Yi and Chu Ping drove everyone back home in an oxcart, and returned from the end late at night.
As soon as Aunt Cui saw off Chu Yi and Chu Ping, she hurriedly entered Jiang Juan's house. Seeing that her daughter had settled Xiaobao who was sleeping soundly, she asked in a low voice: "Is Lu Zhu asking about today's affairs?" Son?"
Jiang Juan tucked Xiaobao into a quilt, then turned around and followed Aunt Cui out of the house: "I asked, but don't worry, I didn't say anything."
Aunt Cui nodded: "You are right. We have already caused a lot of trouble for your cousin and the two of them, as well as the matter of the banknote last time. Don't let them get into trouble this time during the Chinese New Year." Just worry about it!"
"What I'm thinking about is that you and dad don't worry too much. I will never give the little treasure to the Wang family! If the Wang family comes to make trouble again next time, at worst, I will go to the county government to report to the official again, and I will I don’t believe that the county magistrate can still prevent my little treasure from following my mother!”
Aunt Cui patted Jiang Juan's arm and sighed. During the counterfeit banknote case, they were also quite shocked when they heard the news that Wang Tiecheng was silenced by Huang Liang and Hu Shun. But apart from the shock, she herself She was secretly glad in her heart that God was wise and finally accepted that scumbag Wang Tiecheng. Her daughter and grandson no longer had to live in fear every day.
Who would have thought that yesterday I heard that the county government case had just been concluded and Wang Tiecheng's body could finally be buried. But today, the Wang family's father and mother suddenly came to the door and insisted on hugging him. Xiaobao returned to the Wang family and said that he wanted to give their son who died tragically a queen!
The Jiang family was naturally unwilling. Jiang Juan was taking care of the child herself. Not only was Wang Tiecheng's biological father gone, but even when he was still alive, he never cared for Xiaobao in the slightest. Every day he was not Stealing means gambling, which is worthy of Xiaobao's call of "father".
What's more, what Zhan Qian's daughter suffered in the Wang family, and the indifference of everyone in the Wang family is still vivid in my mind. How could a family like that take good care of and educate their little treasure!
Wang Tiecheng and his parents were having a fuss at the Jiang family for a whole day. They blocked the entrance of the courtyard and refused to leave unless they took Xiaobao with them. The Jiang family had no choice but to finally climb over the wall and go out to find the eldest son of the Wang family. , since Wang Tiecheng's body was found in the back mountain, the Wang family's parents followed their eldest son's family again.
The other three sons of the Wang family all have many children. In the past few years, Wang Tiecheng caused great harm to the family, and now they have finally divided the family. Now that the trouble has not come, and life is just about to get busy, the boss of the Wang family naturally does not want his parents to take care of their children. Bao was taken back to raise a son for his bastard brother!
As soon as Jiang Quan finished speaking, he hurriedly followed Jiang Quan to the Jiang's house. The two of them worked together and managed to drag the old couple of the Wang family away from the Jiang's house.
"Juan'er, don't worry. Didn't Quanzi say that the eldest son of the Wang family doesn't agree with the old couple taking Xiaobao over? I guess he won't come again from now on. Even if he does, let's just Just blast them out, no one can take our little treasure away!"
"Yeah! I know, grandma!"
