The two banker brothers looked at the old lady Qian in astonishment and almost jumped.
"mother?"
Didn’t mother just go back to the house?
What, have you been eavesdropping?
But eavesdropping means eavesdropping, so why are they not allowed to work in the winery?
There was a lot of fuss about the signing of the contract in the Five Blessings Years ago, and the village chief came forward. It was definitely a good thing. How could there be any lie in this?
The two brothers were speechless for a moment, only to see their mother sit down at the table bitterly.
"My legs are so bad that I can't lie down on the bed, but it's not useless."
"Mom, what have you said? You are not in good health."
Zhuang Er opened his mouth and said something hastily.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at. When he saw his wife's face was longer than the sole of her shoe, she choked and shut up.
He has no third brother to please his mother. Forget it, it would be wrong to say more, so I won't say it anymore.
The strong man lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhuang San narrowed his smile in a hurry and pretended to give Mrs. Qian a squeeze on her shoulders and legs, coaxing her in a good voice.
Mom, what's going on? Why don't you let them work in the wine shop?
"I don't think I know, this Five Blessings can come and build a wine shop, but did Dafang get involved in the process?!"
The two brothers looked at each other but said nothing.
Isn't this something everyone in the village knows? It seems that you, mother, also know it.
Why couldn't the old lady see the quarrel between the two brothers? Her chest was filled with fire for no reason, and she slapped the table with her palm. This force was so strong that even the peanuts and rice grains placed on it were shaken.
It bounced twice.
"You two don't have a long memory! If the elder one is left in there and stirred up, can it give you some good fruit?"
"Have you forgotten what happened to the sweet potato workshop?!"
Mrs. Qian got angry thinking about this.
At first, she asked why the second child could get the dried potato recipe so easily. She had set up a trap for them to drill into it, and they lost money on those dried potatoes. Even now, she is heartbroken!
As soon as Mrs. Qian mentioned it, Zhuang San understood why I was angry.
"You are quite courageous. You still want to eat after you have suffered a loss. Are you addicted? Even if the wine shop can recruit you, who knows whether you will be given a small shoe to wear."
"Mom, my eldest niece is not that kind of person."
"Pooh!"
When Mrs. Qian saw that her son was still helping the two cunning men in the first house at this time, she immediately spit out thick phlegm and cursed: "Why did I raise you, a scoundrel, and help outsiders call you my mother!"
"
The eldest niece is no longer an outsider.
Zhuang Er was thinking in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only lower his head and hunker down to hide to the side, lest his mother throw a glass and smash a bowl in her anger and suffer disaster.
Zhuang San didn't say anything, but now he finally understood that it would be impossible for his mother to resolve his grievances with his eldest brother in his lifetime.
The two brothers couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
The business of this sweet potato shop is so prosperous. In the past few months when there was no income during the slack period, we didn’t mention how much money we made. But this time Wu Fu Ji spent a full fifty taels to buy it. As long as everyone participated in the workshop, every time
If you have a little or two at home, you will already have money in your pocket. And I heard that my boss even paid me back a year ago for, what, what, holiday expenses.
The sweet potato shop we bought here is in such good condition, how can the wine shop be in such bad condition in the future?
Wine is no more expensive than vermicelli and dried potatoes.
Although Zhuang Er is a farmer and usually honest and honest, he also wants to earn more.
My son is going to get a wife in a few years. How can he do it without saving money? Besides, he is just working during the off-season, so even this mother is not allowed to do it.
Why!
Zhuang San was the smarter one, so he gave his brother a subtle wink, and then turned back to coax old lady Qian.
"It's Chinese New Year, mother, please don't get so angry. My second brother just had a misunderstanding. We still listen to mother."
He spoke in his mouth and moved his hands diligently. In a short time, he coaxed Mrs. Qian back to the house.
After the old lady entered, Zhuang San waved to his second brother.
The two men went out and did not dare to sit in the main room this time. They only hid at the wall and talked.
"Second brother, this work is not urgent. It's still early, but..."
Zhuang San lowered his voice again, "Just do you think we can spend some time together to go to the big house and say New Year's greetings?"
After Zhuang San learned about her daughter's illness, she still kept her elder brother in mind. Although she still had some thoughts, she didn't dare to do anything to her niece again.
His eldest niece is very powerful!
I made a lot of money from my own business, and later I provided so many ways to make money for the village. What good could I do by going against her?
He is not a mother. He is too old. He has only hit the tip of a bull's horn and cannot turn around.
I can't write two characters "zhuang" in one stroke. Since we are all from the same family, why don't we take the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to show our goodwill?
Zhuang San was afraid that if he went alone and someone would ask him out without mercy, he thought of a way to persuade Zhuang Er to come with him.
Little did he know that Zhuang Er himself had this intention.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to go to the big house together to pay New Year's greetings early tomorrow morning.
Of course I went secretly, I can’t teach my mother to know!
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the young couple carried gifts and went out. Not long after, Qin Manzhi heard someone shouting outside the house.
"Is sister-in-law at home?"
Sister-in-law?
Is Shoji here?
Qin Manzhi didn't think much, she put some Aman into the fire kang, fastened the fence, and walked out the door while answering.
As a result, besides Zhuang Er, there was also Zhuang San outside the hospital.
The two men both had their hands full of things, but one smiled honestly and the other smiled flatteringly.
Qin Manzhi frowned.
It was just that the second brother came to relieve himself, but why did the third brother also come with him?
She didn't want to open the door, but there was a sister-in-law at the door, and she was celebrating the New Year, so she had no choice but to go forward and help open the door.
Zhuang San entered the yard, first said Happy New Year, then turned around and looked around the yard. Seeing the deserted house, he asked: "Sister-in-law, where is my eldest niece? Isn't she at home?"
"If you're here to pay New Year's greetings, just put down your things and have a cup of tea. What do you want to do with Ke'er?"
Qin Manzhi will never forget what Zhuang San did in her life. When she saw him coming to the door, she asked if her daughter was there, and she immediately became alert.
What did this man have in mind?
Haven’t you been taught enough lessons before?
Zhuang Er stood aside and felt bad when he saw his sister-in-law looking like she was covered in spikes.
The New Year greetings were all in a friendly manner, but this time it seemed like there was going to be a quarrel. He stepped forward hurriedly, threw his things at the door of the kitchen, and said, "Sister-in-law, the third brother doesn't have any bad intentions. He took the initiative and said he wanted to come.
You’re here to pay New Year’s greetings.”
Seeing that his second brother was so clever, Zhuang San was busy beating the snake with his stick. He cried with sorrow and begged: "Sister-in-law, I really did something wrong before, I am not a human being!"
After saying that, he pretended to slap himself in the face.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
After all, it was the Chinese New Year, and villagers visiting relatives would pass by from time to time. Qin Manzhi couldn't bear to let Zhuang San be laughed at in his own yard, so he could only take a breath for the time being and let the two of them in first.
After all, Ke'er had only been out for a short time, so he must have sent the person away before coming back.
Qin Manzhi thought that Zhuang San came to the door because he was worried about something, so he sat in the main room and put himself on guard.
But this time she guessed wrong indeed. The other party really only came to give a New Year gift, and after a few words of concern for Aman, he left behind a pair of baby shoes that Wu made for Aman and left.
Except for entering the yard and asking if Ke'er was there, he really didn't say anything strange.
Qin Manzhi couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to think about it and just waited until her daughter came back.
On the other side, Zhuang Keqing and Shen Ling also went to Dr. Li's place to pay New Year's greetings. While giving gifts and having tea, they also talked about the medicinal materials they had received.
"Grandpa Li, I received the medicinal materials you asked someone to bring you years ago. I have been making soup at home these days."
"Look at me and Aling, do we look better than before?"
For later generations, the four seasons of health care focus on growth in spring, growth in summer, harvest in autumn, and storage in winter. Winter is the best time to take supplements.
"It's not bad, it's well-raised."
Doctor Li looked at the young couple in front of him with a smile and nodded frequently.
These days, he also makes medicinal meals every other day. He feels much more energetic than before, and his eyesight is not dazzled.
"Grandpa Li, your medicinal diet is so good. If I want to learn it, are you willing to teach me?"
Zhuang Keqing came today. In addition to paying New Year greetings, the most important thing was to ask what the other party meant.
"oh?"
Dr. Li was quite surprised. Although his medicinal diet was good, it still required the use of medicinal materials. Many rural people had taboos. Why did this girl still want to learn it?
