The two sisters-in-law were chatting and laughing while working. Although Ms. Jiang was still a little bit reluctant to let go, she felt much more relaxed and would occasionally add a word or two to make fun of them.
Several people were chatting but their hands were not idle. They quickly set the dishes on the two large tables in the east and west rooms. The men and women led the children to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
He Hua took care of Bao'er while he ate, and Mrs. Fang repeatedly asked everyone to try some of the specialty dishes from her restaurant in the city, "Mom, try this. In the shops in the city, this Braised Pork Ribs with Eucommia ulmoides sells very well, and it's the best." It’s suitable for tonic in winter. It’s been stewed till it’s tender. If it’s delicious, I’ll use more of it.”
Shaoyao seemed to mutter something in a low voice, but then she raised her head and met Yang's eyes. She immediately put on a smile and said, "Nai, I'll give you some soup to try. It's a favorite food for people in the city. I want you to eat it." Chapter 22 It’s not wrong to celebrate the New Year (Part 2).”
Hehua has ignored Peony now, so no matter what she said or did, she didn't care. She only carefully picked out the fish and ribs and fed Bao'er to eat. It was estimated that she was almost eighty full before leaving. She left her hand to eat some bits and pieces, picked up the bowl and started eating.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yang praised: "Hehua looks more and more like a big girl now. After all, she is different from before. Although she has always been sensible, she looks more calm and careful now."
"Mom, I'd better praise her less. Even if everything else is good, I can't be very good at needlework. I've been used to it since I was a child. Every time I tried to make her practice cruelly, I still ran away in the end. Come on, the family shop has been so busy in the past two years, and she has thrown away all her needlework more and more, and she can't pick up a needle for half a year. I can't take care of it now, so I will leave it to her mother-in-law to take care of her later!" Fang said half complaining and half jokingly.
Mrs. Lin heard this and said, "Just be content. He Hua is so smart and can come up with ideas to make money. It doesn't matter what she does with needlework. No matter how good she is, she is just an embroiderer. She can fly into the sky. 7 In the future, your family When life gets better, why not buy an embroiderer alone to serve the lotus flowers? Chapter 322: Celebrating the New Year (Part 2) What's the problem?"
"Look how loud you are? I see you got the bonus money this autumn. You wish you could buy a girl to come back and serve you as a grandma and wife?" Mrs. Fang immediately said back to Mrs. Lin.
"I would like to buy one and take it back to serve your brother, but it's a pity that I don't have enough house to buy it back and there's nowhere to settle it, so all my money will be wasted." Mrs. Lin took a few sips of wine and spoke a little uncontrollably.
Mrs. Yang glared and said angrily: "The children are all here, just drank a few sips of wine and talked nonsense!"
Mrs. Fang quickly poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Lin and put it in front of her, "Take two sips of the strong tea to calm down."
After having a New Year's Eve dinner for nearly two hours, Ms. Yang was so drunk that she took a nap on the kang while her sisters-in-law were busy cleaning up. The men in the east room were still shouting and drinking. Drinking and boxing, the boys ran out to have fun and shoot off firecrackers. Hehua coaxed Baoer to sleep first, and then woke him up to eat dumplings when he was ready.
The west room was all tidied up, Mrs. Fang mixed the dumpling fillings, and the sisters-in-law sat around and started making dumplings, chatting about which family in the Li family short village of Zhang's family had a daughter-in-law, and which family had a daughter. , whose daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, whose family picked up several babies, all of which were girls, and other topics.
When it came to having a baby, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but sigh again: "Zao'er is almost one year old, and Jasmine's belly is still silent, which really worries me to death."
"They are a young couple, so there is nothing to worry about. Jasmine is in good health, so you can just wait and see." Ms. Lin comforted, "Don't say anything else. I just want to see a mother of three sons and two daughters like you." , that girl must be infallible."
"It's really unreasonable. Is it possible that those who have sons and daughters will pass it on to other generations?" Ms. Fang spat at her, "She is the only daughter in Xiaoxiu's family, but now she has both sons and daughters!"
"That's because her mother didn't die long ago. If she were still alive, she would still be able to have a son." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
While they were talking in the room, Shuanzi suddenly ran in and went straight to the east room to pull Zhu Yongxin and said: "Dad, please go out and take a look. There is a person lying in the snow outside. I wonder if he is frozen to death." It won’t move either.”
Zhu Yongxin wasn't too surprised when he heard this. Occasionally, foreigners don't realize how severe the winter in the north is, and they often freeze when they are rushing out in the dark. However, if no one notices it if they wait for a long time, they will easily suffer from lifelong illness. , or simply lost his life.
So he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly lit a lantern and called Zhu Laosi to go out to check. After a while, one person held his head and the other put his feet on it, and he carried him back and carried him straight into the west wing. He didn't dare to put it directly on the hot bed. A temporary bed was built with boards on the ground, a straw mat was laid out and the person was placed on it.
The man's hair was disheveled and dirty, and his beard even reached his temples. He covered most of his face. It was impossible to tell what he looked like when he was born. He could only see his closed eyes and deep eye lines around them. He must be about that age. It's not small.
Stimulated by the warmth in the room, Zhu Yongxin drank a few sips of soju, and then he slowly came to his senses. His slightly cloudy eyes looked around, staring at Zhu Yongxin's face. His eyes widened instantly, and there was a lump in his throat. He made a whooshing sound, and it took him a long time to utter a sentence, "Second, second brother..."
These two words instantly shocked everyone in the room. Zhu Yongxin stiffened for a long time, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times and said, "What did you call me just now?"
"Second brother!" The man rolled over and rolled to the ground, hugged Zhu Yongxin's legs and cried non-stop.
Yang was sober now. She was rinsing her mouth with tea under the eaves. When she heard the sound, she came over and said displeasedly: "Why are you howling during the Chinese New Year? Hurry up and hold it back for me. After midnight to the first month of the year, who is it?" Don’t cry either, otherwise the next year will not be good.”
Zhu Yongxin looked stiffly at the man who was holding his thigh and crying. He vaguely found some resemblance to Zhu Laosan from his eyebrows. He suddenly became more and more confused about what to say. When he heard Yang speaking at the door, he quickly raised his voice. Said: "Mom, come into the house, there is something serious coming for you!"
"What?" Ms. Yang was picking her teeth while taking the silver and walked into the house. But when she saw the man kneeling on the ground, she suddenly felt her heart tightening. Maybe it was the nature of mother and child to connect with each other. She No one had to say anything, he just rushed forward and said, "Third brother?"
Zhu Laosan seemed not to have expected that Yang would suddenly appear in front of him. He was stunned for a long time before he took two steps towards Yang and cried: "Mother, the unfilial son has come back to say goodbye to you..."
Yang looked at Zhu Laosan's look and felt extremely hurt in her heart. The son she loved the most back then was now in such a mess. She missed him for so many years but could not see him. She comforted herself every time, saying that Lao San Such a smart person must be doing well outside. If he can't survive, he won't go home. But when the son she had been thinking about all night suddenly appeared in front of her, and when she saw the appearance of this homeless man, she suddenly The pain was heartbreaking, and she hugged Zhu Laosan and cried: "My dear, how could you be like this? Mom misses you every day, misses you every day, and only hopes that you can live a happy life." , Who would have thought that mother and son would see each other before they died? God had mercy on me and allowed me to get rid of this worry before I died."
While the mother and son were holding each other's arms and crying, everyone else in the family also knew about the situation. They all had everything on their minds, some were unbelievable, some felt that the family was about to become uneasy again, and some were like Mrs. Jiang, who was not at all happy. He didn't know much about the past, and he was still thinking that it would be a good thing for the third child to come back to celebrate the New Year... Hehua was shocked when he got the news from Shuanzi, and wished the third child to come back suddenly at this time. After hanging around outside for several years, there was no news. Could it be that he got into some trouble this time and came back to avoid trouble
But at this time, other people's opinions were exhausted. Yang had already started packing up the empty house, looking for bedding, and found the razor that Lao Zhutou used before, and shaved off Zhu Laosan's beard. First, I boiled two large pots of hot water for him to take a bath, and found Zhu Lao Er's old clothes for him to put on, so that he could barely look like a human being.
But when the family members saw the current Zhu Laosan, they couldn't help but wonder what kind of hardships they had endured all these years abroad to make him look so miserable. His cheeks were so thin that they were sunken inward, and his eyes were very thin. It was protruding, and the wrinkles on his face made him look more than ten years older than Boss Zhu.
Yang looked more and more sad. She sat on the edge of the kang and wiped her tears. She took Zhu Laosan's hand and asked: "Lao San, how did you get into this? Why didn't you come home early? You look like this now. I almost didn't recognize you.
The other three brothers of the Zhu family stood aside, watching Yang holding the third child and crying without saying a word. The elder Zhu seemed to be a little touched and sniffed. Zhu Yongxin and the fourth Zhu looked at each other. They each exchanged thoughtful glances, and then looked away.
When Mrs. Fang heard the news, she hurriedly told Shaoyao: "Your father is back and is sitting in the west wing. Why don't you hurry up and take a look."
Hearing the words, Shaoyao was startled at first, and seemed to subconsciously want to get up and get off the ground, but then she didn't know what to think of. Yinya bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her head to hide the look on her face and said, "What did the second aunt say? I heard I don’t understand. My father was kicked out of the house by my grandfather a long time ago and has nothing to do with our family anymore.”
Everyone in the room was stunned when he said this. Zhu Laosan, who had just been pulled into the main room by Yang, just heard what he heard. He stumbled, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the ground in the room. He didn't even get up for a long time.
Yang opened her mouth to scold him, but when she heard Mr. Zhu coughing in the east room, she didn't dare to speak. She quietly helped Mr. Zhu up and asked him to wait in the kitchen while she went into the room to tell the old man. explain. ! ! !
