Chapter 395 Reunion Dinner

Everyone was beaming with joy, and the large table was filled with people. Even Yuan Chunhua and Xu Zhang were allowed to sit down at the last seat.

There are four members of Dafang’s family.

Second bedroom, one adult and three children.

Four rooms, five people.

Xu Youde and Xu Zhang are two old people.

Plus Xu Laowu, Xu Jiaojiao, and Yuan Chunhua.

There were seventeen or eight people in total.

The long dining table was so crowded that there was no space at all.

During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Xu and Zhang stopped giving out meals. They were not as particular as usual. Everyone just ate whatever they liked.

The staple food and meals are all placed on the big table, so you can take whatever you want.

If there is enough, everyone can take care of it, and there is no need to rob those who have a surplus.

We even got a few kilograms of loquat wine from the cellar, and everyone, adults and children, poured a glass of it.

Drink, eat, and chat.

Xu Youde looked happy and said with emotion, "Oh, the year has come to an end again. Many things have happened this year that we did not expect. Fortunately, our ancestors have blessed our family and everything has passed without incident. Here we are.

, I want to praise our family’s Jiaojiao, it’s all thanks to her. She healed the injury on the second child, she also earned the family’s money, and it’s also thanks to her that our family has enough food to eat the big New Year pig.

…”

The children in the second room all agreed, "Yes, our grandma is the best. We are all grateful to our grandma."

The others had no objections and all agreed, praising Xu Jiaojiao unreservedly.

Now, Xu Jiaojiao's status and prestige are very high in the old Xu family, no less than that of Xu Youde.

Xu Jiaojiao was bombarded with all kinds of sweet words and said with a smile, "We are a family, so we should help each other."

Mrs. Xu Zhang was also smiling while eating steamed pork with rice flour.

"My old daughter has a good heart, and she is the lucky star of our old Xu family. Today is the Chinese New Year, so I won't scold you incompetent bitches. Anyway, in this family, Jiaojiao is the great hero.

, without her, our family would probably be broken up. With her, our family’s life has become so prosperous. Everyone must think of her as a good son, don’t let evil things happen again in the future, and strive to live a happy life.

The better, the better. In the future, when our family earns a lot of money, we will build a big house and give it to the eldest son. The second son will marry his daughter-in-law, and the fifth son will get married..."

Xu Laosi will come up with something!

Immediately clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, okay! Mom said it well, old sister, come on, Fourth Brother proposes a glass of wine to you. You are a great contributor to our family. My incompetent Fourth Brother has made you bother and lie."

You went to Bingyang City. If it were someone else's girl, you would definitely not care about it. Only you have me as your brother in your heart. If you bother, I am nothing. I admit my mistake, old girl, this cup is

Today’s New Year’s celebration wine can also be regarded as my accompaniment wine, come and drink..."

It was hard to deny the warm hospitality, and the atmosphere was made particularly sensational.

Xu Jiaojiao reluctantly took a sip, "It's the New Year today, so I won't talk about those who are unhappy."

Xu Laosi took the lead, and naturally, the others, including Xu Laosi, Yao, Xu Laoer, and the younger ones, all toasted to Xu Jiaojiao one by one.

It's fruit wine anyway, not intoxicating.

Xu Jiaojiao took a sip one by one.

After toasting Xu Jiaojiao, everyone began to toast Xu Youde and his wife again, and the atmosphere was rare and comfortable.

Xu Jiaojiao ate a round of vegetables and was almost full.

She took advantage of Mrs. Xu Zhang's happiness and said, "Mom, Dad, the children at home are still young. I think Xiao Silang's handwriting is good and he usually studies very seriously. I will send him to the school in the town next year.

What do you think?"

Xiao Shiro was eating his meal when he heard Xu Jiaojiao say this. He was overjoyed, but then he was stunned again.

"Old aunt..." It meant that she was afraid that Xu Zhang would be angry, so she asked Xu Jiaojiao to stop talking.

The people in the second room also behaved similarly to Shiro, first they were surprised, and then their expressions became cautious.

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao said this, not only those in the second room reacted cautiously, but also everyone's voices stopped.

Boss Xu frowned imperceptibly, sending Shiro to study?

Aren’t the children in the second room all weak-legged? When they grow up, it’s enough that they can farm and hunt. What kind of education should they study?

Isn't it a waste of money?

Xu Laosi here is looking at the nose and the mind. The old girl wants the children in the second room to study? Then the children in their fourth room are younger and more suitable to study? Studying is good, in case they pass the exam in the future

If they have a scholar, then their four bedrooms will be prosperous!

Xu Zhang raised her eyebrows, "Study? What's so good about studying?" As she said that, she glanced at Boss Xu subconsciously.

Xu Youde coughed lightly, meaning that during the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Xu Zhang should stop scolding their scholar.

Every time Xu Zhang looked at Mr. Xu, he would just curse him.

Mrs. Xu Zhang rolled her eyes at Xu Youde, giving him a bit of face. She was celebrating the New Year and would not curse.

Xu Jiaojiao persuaded hard, "Mom, I think Shiro is a young scholar. Look at how neat his handwriting is. I can only teach him some simple words, arithmetic and the like. He is a scholar who is really interested in learning.

I don’t know how to write articles or anything like that. My child is still young, so I can’t delay it. Isn’t our family living a good life just for future generations to be successful? In the future, if there are many talented people in the family, it will also be good if one of them wins the exam.

.”

As soon as Xu Youde heard that he had been selected as a scholar or a successful candidate, his old eyes lit up, and those who agreed could no longer agree.

"Shiro, your old lady recommends you, are you willing to go to school yourself?"

Shiro is a smart boy. Hearing this tone, there is something interesting!

He didn't want to if there was no chance. He couldn't make things difficult for his family and make Mrs. Xu Zhang angry.

He is naturally willing to play a role.

"I do. I want to study. In the future, like my uncle, I will be a scholar and bring glory to my family."

Mrs. Xu Zhang's eyes were full of disgust. If the old girl hadn't suggested this, she wouldn't have cared about celebrating the New Year or not, and would have given the person a slap in the face first.

"Did you turn a deaf ear to your old lady in private? You are quite arrogant at a young age, and you have been selected as a scholar and passed the imperial examination. Studying is not cheap...it is all in vain! Although our family has a good life,

It's been a little while, but I don't have much money left on hand. Your old lady's wine shop has been running out of expenses. After the wine is made, I don't know what will happen. Whether it can be repaid is up to two people.

I just want to waste our family's money. If I don't study well, it will be like a bottomless pit that cannot be blocked..."

This is a complaint.

Boss Xu finally found a chance to speak, "Second brother, please advise Shiro. It's good to have ambitions at a young age, but it's not good to talk big. I have passed the scholar examination, and the scholar is one of ten thousand people."

Talent can't be won by what a child says, nor can it be won by good handwriting. Mom is right. The family is like this now, and the winery business has just started, so there is no money to waste. Besides,

, It’s not like there are no scholars in our old Xu family. Dalang and I can barely be considered scholars. Dalang is going to take the provincial examination next year. It’s not like everyone has to study to have a career. As the saying goes, if you are good at it, you will be the top scholar.
