Chapter 259 Homecoming (two chapters in one)
Because Zhu Xingde finally came back, the Zhu family treated him to him.
Zhu Xingde returned to the Zhu family on the fourth day of his return.
This is also the first time that the Zhu family has been invited to a family with friends with Xinglin Village since they were stolen.
Zhu Xingde stood at the gate and was instructing the young young people in the village: "These old men must be sent to the doorstep and handed over to their family members. They are not allowed to leave at the intersection."
The weather is cold, people are old and still drink so much wine. If something happens, will our family be in trouble?
It was snowy and snowy. Zhu Xingde had been lying outside in previous years. He had heard that many people who had been sleeping outside and freezing to death after drinking too much or who had fallen into the trench and fell to death after not paying attention.
He even heard of the kind of alcoholic dreamer entering the yard, and he didn't see the clothesline in the yard, and was strangled to death by the clothesline.
He is just thinking too much, so he is worried. His father-in-law showed him his life and said that his palm lines were so confusing that he could not count them. So, he was tired for a day and had to endure the cold and stand at the gate to tremble.
"Don't worry, Brother De, I will guarantee that these masters in our village will be sent home."
The old men who were instructed were walking with their faces that were red with red drinks:
"Who would have thought that Dadezi was like this now half a year ago? If someone told me at that time, I wouldn't believe it if he didn't bring disaster to him. It would be great if he didn't cause any disaster or trouble.
But in the blink of an eye, I said in front of Brother Zhu that I can't be too fond of any grandson, and the words are still very warm. Dadezi seemed to have grown up suddenly and could take on the problem. It seems that it really hurts. Look, I still know that I am thinking about us old guys.
According to me, the most blessed person in our village is Brother Zhu. I was jealous when I saw a grandson like Dadezi.
Have you seen it? Dezi didn’t eat much when he was eating the mat just now, so he was busy picking up food for Brother Zhu. He asked if he was cold or not, and then he asked him to drink less."
"Actually, if you don't mention Dadezi, just Brother Zhu's other grandchildren are fine now.
I heard that those who work in the county, including the eldest grandson who takes care of Brother Zhu at home, are becoming more and more filial now.
Do you remember before? The children of the Zhu family are particularly calculating.
But just two days ago, Brother Zhu's eldest grandson came out to find soap and panicles. It was not easy for my old woman to enter the city. She bought four yuan hard and gave it to him.
I thought I would have to wait for Dezi to come back before I settle the score, but not everyone in the village knew that as long as it could be used by Mr. Zhu, even if it was only a little bit, Zhu Xingde would have to pay the bill. This has been like this for the past six months.
My old woman was stumbling with my daughter-in-law behind her back. She bought it for nothing and couldn't get back the cash. Dezi might not come back when he would come back to pay the money.
As a result, the eldest son Changzi came to the house to ask, "My breasts, how many copper coins are there in four panicles, he gave me a letter. I, my old lady, asked you again. When you look back, you ask your cousin? Then, don't say that we don't have to pay credit, it seems like we live in a village, and I can't even let go of less than half a tael."
Na Changzi said, "Whatever you want is only a few dollars. If you can't buy anything, you can't let your cousin pay for it." Now that the family has money, my younger brother will take it with you in the future. That's my brother's will. He doesn't give it to him or pick it up. Anyway, he has it, so he will pay it."
When the young young man heard the gossip, he interrupted and asked, "My brother De's aunt let me go, and the eldest brother of Zhu's wife, don't you care about the money you spend on the Zhu family?"
Everyone knows that Zhu Xingchang's wife is a capable woman. She wants to break the eight petals of flowers for a penny, and I am not kind. When the Zhu family split up, the family wants to lock the kitchen and cook separately, and they look like they are guarding against thieves. There is no one else. Many people in the village are laughing at.
"Not to say it, it seems that I really don't care anymore. The eldest son of the Zhu family gave soap and panic money. My old woman said that she gave it a piece of silver, and there were still several pieces of silver left in her pocket."
The youngsters thought to themselves: Brother Zhu Xingchang actually has pocket money. If this happened half a year ago, it would be a fantasy.
Several old men, looking at the village roads with their turbid eyes, thought to themselves: Could it be that even filial piety is exclusive to the rich? Is their descendants poor if they are not filial?
...
After seeing off the last batch of guests, the Zhu family aunt brought down the leftovers on the four tables with several daughters-in-law.
Aunt Zhu was arranging in the kitchen, what leftovers would be hot tomorrow?
In the village, you can’t throw away any leftover vegetables, and this kind of dish is still hot at the end of the meal.
For example, the remaining dried beans and fried pork with sliced cabbage and fried black fungus, you can mix it together and heat it up next meal. There is nothing that doesn’t taste like a skewer. The leftover dishes at the village wedding banquet are so hot.
There is also a big dish at the Zhu family’s banquet today, stewed with fat slices of sauerkraut.
There was no fat piece left, only sauerkraut left. But since it was stewed with meat, the vegetables were cold in winter, and a layer of oil floated on the sauerkraut.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family muttered with pain that these big mouths and forks were really edible. There was not even a piece of meat left in each dish. She folded the remaining sauerkraut on the four tables together and asked her mother-in-law: "Will the sauerkraut be hot tomorrow morning?"
Aunt Zhu thought about it and said that Zhu Xingde was at home and could not eat too badly: "Forget it, let's heat it. Those good ones will be hot tomorrow morning. Cut some sauerkraut and mix it in it, and steam some steamed buns with a lot of white flour on the curtain."
"Hey." Mrs. Zhu's wife, Wang, immediately responded happily.
Wang thought that his mother-in-law would not be able to bear these good leftovers.
According to my mother-in-law's usual style, these folding baskets will be eaten in a few days. I can only eat one or two in the morning, and I mix them with porridge to borrow some oily fishy food. Unexpectedly, not only will I let them all eat tomorrow morning, but I also let them steam new steamed buns.
After the aunt of Zhu's family arranged the kitchen, she took a look at the house where Mr. Zhu lived. The room was still bright. I guess the masters and the others were chatting before they had a rest and called Li, the third daughter-in-law:
"You use the tea foam brought back by Dezi to make some tea and bring it to the main hall, drink some sobering wine. Then call your elder brother out and say I called him."
Li was puzzled: "It's so late, what's wrong with my mother calling my elder brother. My elder brother said at the dinner table that Dezi finally came back tonight and he was going to rest in his grandfather's house."
"It's nothing. Even if you ask him to carry this big bucket of hot water into the house and burn your master and Dezi's feet. But don't tell him in person, just shout it out."
It can be said that this is the first time that the aunt of the Zhu family knew that it was hot enough to get the nephew home, and she burned her feet for a long time to relieve fatigue.
This was the first time that not only did he not seek credit, but he was also afraid that Zhu Xingde would know that she called the boss to lift the foot wash.
There is no one who is the eldest brother, and he is the one who carries the younger brother's foot wash water, because he is afraid that Zhu Xingde will come out and rush to carry the water bucket.
From this incident, we can also see that Aunt Zhu's mentality has changed unknowingly.
Now that my family has the current life, my aunt Zhu’s family has never been grateful, but her heart is clear.
Her biological sons have serious errands and come to the money, saying, "Are they all from their nephews?"
A serious errand, she had a guess with an old sister who was very close to her. If Zhu Xingde sold his position to someone else, the other party would have to give him a gift of 180 taels of silver to express his opinion, right? No matter how much less than 100 taels, he would not do it.
Zhu Xingde can get at least 180 taels of silver and get the other party's thanks.
However, Zhu Xingde took the initiative to arrange such a good thing for her second and third sons, but she didn't use her to make trouble, and she asked for it. She cooked rice and arranged it clearly in the city. She had to keep this family in her heart and use a few more cousins as brothers to do it. She might not be able to do this level with a good relationship.
Like the boss, he refused, otherwise he could arrange three in one go.
Zhu Xingde arranged work for his family, which was beyond the expectations of Aunt Zhu's family.
So, how could Zhu Xingde still be worried about the separation of the family when he could do this to the extent of Zhu family?
The Zhu family's aunt understood the little debt in her heart. She took a step back. Even if the family was uneven, the old man gave all the money she had saved privately. But was the money enough to buy the serious errands in two counties? Can it be more than 200 taels? The old man saved 180 taels of silver at the top. She took advantage of it inside and outside.
What's more, the blessing of Zhu Xingde and Zuo Jia Xiuhua's aunt gave the family this winemaking business.
The wind cannot blow the rain, and her eldest son and several daughters-in-law can make money by sitting at home. They earn money every day, and they don’t have to worry about selling wine or worrying about outside. Isn’t this kind of good thing borrowed from Zhu Xingde?
Today, when my nephew came back, he also said to the old man that he would bring a cow to his house and make a car board as soon as possible. If it is made, it will be used for a car. Her eldest son will use a ox cart to bring wine back and forth.
The cow is just used at home...
Even her best friend, who had the best relationship, once muttered to her in an envious and jealous tone, "Why don't I have a nephew like Dadezi? You have such a good life." You are not so good to your nephew.
The old sister didn't say the next sentence, she could guess it.
Alas, the aunt of the Zhu family sighs whenever she thinks of this.
If I had known today, she wouldn't have to tear her face over the little bit of separation. Once it was done, it would be so ugly. Even if Zhu Xingde was shameless, they would not get any advantage in this room and were always laughed at by the villagers.
Just like the oldest son's words privately advised her: To be fair, if an outsider helps her Er'er and San'er arrange errands, even if only one is arranged, she would be praised as a noble guest at home.
However, when she arrived at Zhu Xingde, she was embarrassed to say thank you, and could only pretend that those dirty things had not happened before, and they were still like a family.
The Zhu family's aunt knew that the old man wanted to see such a family dressed as a family. Dezi was filial to the children. In order to help the old man, as long as she didn't make trouble, she could suppress the following daughters-in-law and nephew's family to get along well, Dezi could cooperate with her.
At this time, inside the house.
When Zhu Xingde saw his elder brother being called out by his aunt, he asked about his grandfather's health. He knew that half of his body was not very flexible, but he was gradually getting better, so he completely relieved.
Mr. Zhu was anxious and took out the account book without saying a few words. "Look, is the account right? I can't use it easily. It's still the name of your father-in-law and the grid. This book was given by him. Whoever brews ten jars, just draw a circle."
Only then did Zhu Xingde realize that his father-in-law also had the ability to make tables. He should have learned that he helped him in the county jail.
"Master, you're all right in the drawings, you're still so clear about the score."
"Don't coax me. At the beginning, there was something wrong, and your sister-in-law was also being careless. Your brother said he was bald and slutty. I realized that your sister-in-law said that I was wrong and was biased. She only drew less and made several jars of waste. Why didn't she calculate the wrong and draw more for her?"
Zhu Xingde smiled: "I feel that my family members are very calm when they come back this time."
Mr. Zhu put his feet on the kang and finally he was able to activate blood circulation. He only had a day of sitting, and his lower body felt sore and swelling. To put it bluntly, his body was still as sick as before.
Leaning against the fire wall, he said:
"Can't you stop? You're back today. Your uncle escorted them to cook and serve on a table, and then put down the work of making wine. Otherwise, it would be dark, and at this time, I'm still busy in the brewing house that we have changed. The children are now self-reliant, and they are all in the mother's house.
I can't use charcoal in the winery, for fear that the smell will smoke the wine, just that fire wall to keep warm. We don't know how your sister-in-law endured it. Not only are they not afraid of the cold, but I was also busy and sweating.
By the way, I don’t need anyone to call you here. If there is anything, I will call you brother. I will let your younger sister make wine. She always wants to go to another family and let her earn some dowry money.
Isn’t there a saying that no matter how rich my brother is, he is still a sister-in-law, and he can’t take the turn for his sister. The kind-hearted brother gives her too much, but she is not happy to be a sister-in-law. For you guys, don’t fight with your wife, I told Lancao to let her earn her dowry by herself.”
Zhu Xingde was helpless and joked: "Master, wasn't my aunt said this kind of provocation in the past? How did you become you now? Tianshui's mother is not that kind of person. If Lancao really wants to take another step, I will share the dowry with several cousins. It's not about sending houses and fields. The four of us share the money, and there is not much money."
Mr. Zhu waved his hand and stopped mentioning it, just told him. Look at it, Lancao didn't even want to take another step. After asking, he said that at a young age, he would rather make money at his parents' home.
Two days ago, the eldest daughter-in-law scolded Lancao again and forced her to go out to see her family before the New Year. The other party was a widower and had a boy at home. He had some family fortune. If Lancao shouted, he would sit in the house to settle the scores and listen to it very well.
Lancao said that she would not pay for her work at her husband's house, and would help take care of her children with tidy work. Everyone treated her as the pay she deserved. She was not prepared for her and would be beaten by a man and her mother-in-law, so she didn't care about each other and earned a jar of money at home, which would save her worries.
I was so angry that I didn't hear any tantrums crying for a long time. That day I slapped my thighs and said that I was going to be angry to death by my daughter.
Speaking of Lancao helping your family make wine, Zhu Xingde asked, "Master, this winery hasn't caused you any trouble."
"You mean?"
"I'm looking for a living with you."
Mr. Zhu sighed:
"Why didn't there at first? I didn't know that my popularity was so good, so I'm all about getting into a relationship.
But thanks to your grandmother who came here, she asked me to avoid it, and then said in front of many people that if you recruit people, there will be many idle people in the Han Village. Why bother to leave the distance? The Zuo family can't even take care of the favors there.
It is said that the winery in the Zhu family is for you and your face to take care of the Zhu family's daughter-in-law, otherwise they would not have been arranged so far.
But your grandmother is really amazing, and then told the villagers that they would have the chance in the future. Anyway, by the time the farming next year, there will be enough manpower, so don’t worry.
