Luo Shi and Gao Shi smiled and walked out of the west wing, but they heard a loud noise outside the courtyard. They looked at each other, both showing confusion.
"Is there someone else who comes to treat you like a gift?" Mrs. Gao looked at Luo Shi and said.
Tian Minyan's family had received a reward from the emperor, and the news had spread far and wide. These days, there were many people coming to give gifts to the Tian family and want to get close to them, so Mrs. Gao naturally thought that Xu had a guest.
Luo Shi said no, and the two of them walked out, but saw several people walking in at the door of the inner courtyard, surrounded by two old people. They froze in the courtyard as if they had been struck by lightning.
The people who came here were none other than Mr. Tian and Mr. Jiang, followed by Tian Huaide, and the eldest aunt Tian Huaifang and the younger aunt Tian Huailan were also with them.
A bunch of people came in. Luo Shi took a look and suddenly felt a splitting headache. She staggered a little. Gao Shi hurriedly supported her.
Even if he didn't want to, he still had to come forward to see the gift. With his natal sister-in-law here, his family was different from the past. Luo quickly regained his confidence, stepped forward with a smile and called: "Old man, old lady, your family is here."
Mr. Tian's face was smiling like a flower, but when he heard Luo Shi's name, he was stunned for a moment, and his smile became a little stiff.
Old man, old lady?
In the past, these three sisters-in-law would all call them father and mother, which sounded like a close relationship. But now, the title sounds very respectful, but it seems that they are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, and the alienation is very uncomfortable.
Jiang didn't have such an awakening. Seeing that Luo's breath was better than last time, his stomach was swollen. He snorted and walked towards the main room.
But the old man smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law of the third family."
"Third daughter-in-law, long time no see." Tian Huaide was very kind and looked at Luo Shi with a smile.
"Uncle."
"Third sister-in-law." Tian Huailan called out cautiously.
"Sister-in-law is here too." Luo Shi said lightly, obviously without much enthusiasm.
"Where are the keys? Open the door. My old lady is exhausted."
The old man and his friends were far away in Henghe. The main house, Tian Huaide's house, and his wife's house were always locked. When Luo Shi saw this, he called Xiaoxing, got the key, and opened it.
As soon as the door was opened, a cold air hit his face. Jiang opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but Tian Huaifang pulled his arm, so he could only mutter in a low voice.
"Let's talk in the house. His uncle and aunt also came over to sit and talk." The old man smiled and called Luo Yaoguang and Gao.
"Hey, I'll be there in a minute." Gao responded cheerfully.
The old man and the others all entered the house, and Luo Shi couldn't wait to call Tian Minyan over. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did they all come together?"
Tian Minyan spread her hands and said, "What else could it be? It's definitely because our family has received a reward. It's not like he misses us so much that he came here."
"You little devil." Gao poked her forehead.
Tian Minyan stuck out her tongue and said, "What I said is the truth."
"Mom, can we serve food? I'm hungry." Xiao Wu ran in jumping up and down, shouting loudly, and asked again: "Are we having guests here? There are many carriages outside."
Tian Minrui and Luo Xiaotao also walked in, and Luo Shi said: "It's your grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt and two aunts who are here. They are talking in the main room. Wash your face and go over and invite me."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Xiao Wu's flying little face suddenly fell down, and he muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you go?"
"Teaching the sage, you must observe etiquette. Go quickly." Tian Minyan flicked his forehead, then pulled it aside and whispered: "Our father is inside, go and listen to what they say, don't let our father suffer."
, be smart."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up after hearing this, he hummed, wiped his face carelessly, and ran into the main room, followed by Tian Minrui.
"Seeing this big room of people gives me a headache. We're already cooking, what should we do now?" Luo Shi asked with a frown.
"Let's make some more." Tian Minyan bit her finger and thought for a while, then said, "I'll also order some dishes from Zhenjiang Restaurant."
She must always do a good job in appearance, so as not to let others say that she is not as good to her own family as she is to outsiders. They cannot do a job that will attract criticism.
"There are a lot of people over there, so as not to hurt you by pushing and jostling, just go back to the house and rest while Nannan and I prepare food." Mr. Gao also said to Mr. Luo at this time.
Luo Shi didn't want to go to the main room, so he hummed and turned back to the house.
"We two, let's get busy." Mrs. Gao pulled Tian Minyan to the kitchen.
"Auntie, as soon as my mother is born, I will build a house as soon as possible. It will be big. I will also buy one or two rooms and people will come to help. In this way, you and my uncle will not have to help out when they come.
." Tian Minyan said to Gao who was cooking quickly while lighting the fire in the stove.
Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "Okay! I have told your uncle a long time ago that since we are all separated, we should live in our own rooms, that will be peaceful."
As she spoke, she took two more steps to the kitchen door and looked outside. When she came back, she lowered her voice and said, "Like now, a large group of people come back like this, and they all still live together. You said you can prepare food at home and eat it by yourself."
Well, this doesn't look like it, and people will say that you are sharp and cold-hearted. But if you do it, and you really don't want to do it, you have done it, and people still think this or that, then you are called a bad person
.”
Tian Minyan also knew who she was referring to, so she smiled and said: "It's okay, we have done our best, whether we can live up to ourselves or others, no matter how bad it is for three or six people, she can't do it."
Come up with a rationale."
"That's true."
"Sister Yan."
While the two uncles and nephews were talking, a shout came from outside the kitchen door. Tian Minyan turned her head and saw Huang Wenyuan standing at the door of the kitchen. However, she glanced at the dark kitchen and retracted her feet.
Tian Minyan sneered when she saw it and said, "Second cousin is not talking in the room, why are you here?"
"I'm here to play with you." Huang Wenyuan laughed twice, looked at her sitting in front of the stove, and said, "What are you doing? Come out and let's play together."
"I don't have time. There are so many people in this house, so I have to help cook."
"Isn't there a girl here? You don't have to do it yourself, I'll let them do it." Huang Wenyuan gestured to go.
"Stop working so hard. This girl is not smart. I have given them orders and they are just busy."
Huang Wenyuan was a little embarrassed, pursed her lips, and walked in as if she had made great determination, and said: "Then let me help you too?"
Tian Minyan looked at her glamorous outfit, with an invisible sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, and said: "Second cousin, I have maids to take care of you on weekdays. What can you do? Don't dirty your new clothes, I won't have to compensate you.
.”
"What are you talking about?" Huang Wenyuan stamped her feet and said angrily: "I'm not as squeamish as you say. I can help you light the fire. Is this your aunt? Aunt, I am Yan'er's cousin, you call me
Sister Yuan is also here."
"Oh." Mrs. Gao glanced at her. She was thin-skinned and tender. She also knew that Tian Minyan's aunt was married in the county, and this girl also grew up in the county, so she said, "She's so pretty."
My son Zhou Zheng."
Huang Wenyuan was very happy after hearing this, her face turned red, she squatted beside Tian Minyan, picked up firewood and threw it into the stove.
She only wore long and wide-sleeved clothes, and she was afraid that fire ash and sparks would fall on her clothes, so she looked at them here and there, which was not helpful.
Seeing this, Tian Minyan said: "It's done, you can go out. You are here, but you are causing trouble."
Huang Wenyuan's face turned a little red and she stood up awkwardly. She was at a loss when a voice behind her came to her rescue in time.
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing here? You're so dirty."
It was Huang Wenru. She stood at the door holding her nose and took a look. It was dark everywhere, and said: "Come out quickly, be careful not to be smoked into black charcoal."
"Sister." Huang Wenyuan winked at her.
"It's done, you sisters can go out and play. I'll do it alone." When Mrs. Gao saw it, she said to Tian Minyan: "Nanny, are you going to see if the stage is ready?"
Tian Minyan didn't want to play with the two sisters, but the dishes were almost done, so she hummed and walked out.
When Huang Wenru saw her come out and saw that she was wearing old clothes, she wanted to make a joke, but Huang Wenyuan pulled her sleeves quickly with quick eyes and hands. She looked over displeased and asked with her eyes, "What are you doing?"
When Huang Wenyuan saw Tian Minyan walking away, Fang whispered: "Have you forgotten what mother said before coming here? Now the third uncle and the others can't be offended. Dad hasn't found a job yet. If you want new jewelry or clothes, just don't talk nonsense.
.”
Huang Baoquan was fired by the He family and lost an income. Now the Huang family only relies on the grocery store at home to make ends meet. Life is much more difficult than before. Even now, they are still doing what they did in previous years.
There are clothes that I can’t bear to wear.
The MSG produced by Tian Minyan's family sells for one tael of silver per pound, which is a sky-high price. No matter how unwilling to admit it, they also know that the third uncle's family, which they looked down upon the most in the past, has been released, and the news has not yet come to their senses.
, and I heard that Tian Minyan and the others were rewarded by the emperor.
God, it's the emperor. The most majestic and wealthy person in the world actually rewarded country bumpkins like Tian Minyan. What an honor is that?
Not to mention anything else, just this glory is something that people cannot ignore, and they are the real relatives of this glory.
Therefore, they packed some gifts and worked hard to build a good relationship. Both Tian Huaifang and Huang Baoquan warned their children that they must not have conflicts with the people in the third room and must become intimate with each other.
After hearing her words, Huang Wenru's face changed several times, with a look of reluctance on her face, and she said: "I just can't see her smug face. What's the big deal? Now that she has money, she's not wearing rags."
Aren’t you just a country bumpkin? If you want me to please her, bah!”
Huang Wenyuan looked at this unsatisfactory sister and clicked her tongue with some disdain. She thought to herself, even though Tian Minyan was dressed in ordinary clothes, her temperament was not inferior to that of Miss Wen. How should I put it, well,
