0143 Xiangjiayi

The Xiang family, who lives in Liujiaqiao Village, has a worse family background than ordinary families. The house is built on a dirt slope, with five, half brick and half wooden houses living in eight people.

Lin Dazhu's aunt, old lady Xiang, Lin Dazhu's uncle Xiang Wangcai and his wife, as well as their youngest daughter Xiang Jinzhi, and their younger son Xiang Jinbao and his family of six.

There is also a young son, Xiang Yinbao and his family, who lives in another village.

The reason was that the eldest sister-in-law could not tolerate the family of four, and she cursed when she saw it in the village. The honest second-bedroom family had no choice but to move away.

Don’t go back to the village until the wedding and happiness.

Listening to the name of the family, Lin Yuan's mouth twitched.

From growing up to being young, the names you choose are all related to money. They are either gold or silver or treasure, but there is no wealth in the family.

Mu Yuanfeng, riding a horse, was still walking in front, while Lin Dazhu drove the ox cart behind.

As soon as the family arrived in front of the slope, someone laughed and said, "Oh, I'll wait for you."

Lin Yuan looked up and saw Aunt Xiang and a few people walking down the slope with a smile on his face.

Behind her was a young couple in their thirties, and the other one was Xiang Jinzhi.

Xiang Jinzhi was still wearing the clothes she had on the night before today, but there was a bright red silk flower in her hair.

The young couple probably were Xiang Jinzhi's brother and sister-in-law.

The eldest brother is eighteen years older than the younger girl. The reason why Xiang Jinzhi is extremely arrogant must be because the whole family is spoiled.

"Why are you still coming to greet me? You are not a distinguished guest." Madam Lin smiled.

"Why aren't you a distinguished guest? The old lady has been talking about you for a long time." Xiang Laola walked forward with a smile.

Mu Yuanfeng got off the horse, tied the horse under a tree, and walked over to help Lin Dazhu get gifts.

The little man, Han Lin Zhi, did not go to school and helped together.

When there is a man, there is no girl.

Madam Lin took her two daughters to the dirt slope to greet Madam Xiang's daughter-in-law.

Xiang Jinzhi glanced at Lin Yuan lightly, and his eyes moved to Mu Yuanfeng's body again.

The group talked and laughed and entered the main hall of Xiang's family.

Lin Dazhu shouted at his two sons and placed the gift on the table in the main hall.

The gift was two pounds of dried meat, two pounds of dried mushrooms, dried mushrooms were grown in Linyuan by Xianggu, two pounds of dried fish, ten pounds of wine, and two boxes of top-quality candy bought for Xiang's children.

When Xiang Lao's wife saw a table of gifts, her eyes lit up a little, and she kept saying, "It's great to be able to come to the house and sit there. What gifts should I buy?"

He said, but his eyes were fixed on the jar of wine.

This wine is not the ordinary wine that villagers often drink. The wine jar is labeled on it. If you buy it in the town, it will cost more than 40 yuan per catty. These two big jars are worth about 400 yuan.

Adding to other gifts, the Lin family spent more than a tael of silver.

Sure enough, I have money!

It's worth getting this marriage.

"My cousin, where is my aunt, I'll take Xiaoen to see her." Lin Dazhu put down the gift and immediately asked the eldest lady Xiang.

"Your cousin went to invite her. Isn't it because my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I have to carry it on my back." He sighed to the eldest lady.

"Let's go see her. Where is my aunt's house now?" said Mrs. Lin.

As he was talking, footsteps came from the back door. Xiang Wangcai, the man from Dalin, walked into the house with a gray-haired old woman on his back.

"Dazhu is here?" Old lady Xiang raised her hand to Lin Dazhu.

"Auntie..." Lin Dazhu hurried forward to help.

Madam Lin greeted her children and walked over.

Mu Yuanfeng and Lin Dazhu helped Xiang Wangcai and sat down on a high-backed chair in the house.

"grandmother."

"aunt."

"Uncle..."

Wulala and a group of people came forward to say hello.

There are too many people, and the forest garden cannot be squeezed into it.

She stood outside the crowd and looked at the old lady Xiang. She was a very thin old lady wearing a white-washed blue cloth jacket with a little melancholy look.

The younger generations called her, but she nodded but said nothing.

"Where is my uncle?" Lin Dazhu suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see my uncle this morning?"

"Oh, the old man said it was cool early in the morning, so he went to the village to stroll and chat with someone." He said with a quick smile to the eldest lady.

The room was surrounded by a roomful of conversations and talking to the old lady, and then, she recognized her relatives.

Mu Yuanfeng was lost at the age of five. Now he is back home, he is already a twenty-year-old.

Xiang Lao Lady held his hand, sighed in a short sentence, and said something that he wanted him to be filial to his parents, and said that Mrs. Lin had not been easy for years.

It makes the room feel sad and emotional.

He still smiled at the eldest lady, "Why did you talk about the sad things in the past again? Today, Dazhu's family is rare. Mom, don't mention the old sesame and bad meat."

Old Mrs. Xiang pursed her lips and moved her eyes to Lin Yuan's face, "Is this a garden? It's so big..."

"Hello, aunt." Lin Yuan pulled Lin Cui over.

Old Lady Xiang held the hands of their sisters and glanced at her granddaughter Xiang Jinzhi, and said nothing.

Lin Yuan was surprised. Why is this old lady and Xiang family strange?

The main hall was narrow and I sent my granddaughter and grandson to the elder lady to play outside the house.

Lin Zhi was nowhere much older than them, so he went out to play with him.

Lin Cui was called by a granddaughter of the Xiang family, who was about the same age as hers, and went to catch cicadas together.

Lin Yuan sat with Madam Lin.

The Xiang family's wife went to the kitchen to cook tea. Xiang family's cousin and Xiang Wangcai were talking with Lin Dazhu.

Mu Yuanfeng sat aside and listened quietly to them talking about family affairs.

The eldest lady Xiang winked at her little daughter, Xiang Jinzhi immediately walked to the table, poured tea and handed it to Mu Yuanfeng, "Brother Xiao En drinks water."

Mu Yuanfeng was slightly stunned, took it in his hand, and handed it to the old lady Xiang, "My uncle drinks water."

Lin Yuan was happy. Her brother was not stupid, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

Old Lady Xiang will not be happy, she will only be angry.

Sure enough, the old lady Xiang's face sank. Her granddaughter didn't think about herself, but wanted outsiders to think about it.

Xiang Jinzhi's face turned red with anger.

...

When the sun rises a little, he returns to the old man.

But things were not as they told the eldest lady. The old man was just wandering around the village, but came back with a bundle of firewood.

The firewood sticks are not thick, they are probably picked up anywhere, and broken thin dead branches.

Old Man Xiang is seventy years old this year, so he still has to pick up firewood?

Lin Yuan felt even more displeased with Xiang’s family.

In theory, Xiang Lao Lady and Xiang Wangcai are only in their early fifties and can do more.

Xiang’s cousin Xiang Jinbao and his wife are only in their thirties, and their two older grandchildren are still in their teens. The younger sister-in-law Xiang Jinzhi is not young, and they are both good ages to make money. So many people in the family can make money, why are they so poor that they need an old man in his seventies to pick up firewood? They are wearing a coat full of patches?

There aren't many decent pieces of furniture at home?

The younger generations in the family, except for Xiang Jinzhi, dressed quite appropriately, the other four younger generations had no clothes or patches.

If this family is not seriously ill, there is only one situation, laziness!

As I spoke, it was noon.

It's time to start.

During this period, Xiang Laozi ran to the back kitchen several times. When he went there, he looked angry, and when he came back, the smile on his face was barely strong.

No one else cared about it. Lin Yuan was curious and slipped into the kitchen while everyone was not paying attention.

Seeing the situation in the kitchen, she also guessed the reason why she was angry with the eldest lady.

——Lunch is not ready yet.

On the table next to the stove, cut a few dishes that were not fried.

Rice is being cooked in the pot.

It’s already noon, the rice is not good and the dishes are not good, no wonder her mother-in-law gets angry.

Xiang’s wife, her cousin, was busy with her hair messy, sweaty, and a smear of smoke on her forehead.

She washes the dishes and cuts a few slices of vegetables at a time.

The firewood was thrown to the stove, everywhere, and the rotten vegetables and leaves on the ground were not available for cleaning, and they could be seen everywhere.

Obviously, the head lady who was in charge was so busy that she was too busy.

I think so. Even if the Lin family is not here today, Xiang's family has eight people. She will of course be busy cooking alone.

The rice soup in the pot was boiling. Xiang Jing raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, lifted the lid and took the spatula to stir the rice soup in the pot.

"Are you dead? The meal is not ready yet?" He yelled to the eldest lady and walked into the kitchen. He suddenly saw Lin Yuan standing at the kitchen door and smiled embarrassedly, "Why is Yuan Zi coming to the kitchen? Are you hungry? It will be better for a while. You can sit outside and play, the kitchen is messy."

Koji was shocked by the roar, and the spatula in his hand almost fell to the ground.
