Zhuqing actually didn't realize what her two aunts were thinking about at first.
It was only natural that she sit with the Wang family. After all, she was still unfamiliar with her grandfather's house.
Her personality is not one that can get along with other people immediately. Therefore, when her cousin Wang Qingxiang from her second aunt's house sat next to her and talked to her, Zhu Qing was a little confused.
As an adult, Zhu Qing actually doesn't have much interest in the things that teenage girls are interested in.
In her previous life, because of her poor family, she did not interact with many peers. When she was studying, she always focused on studying and never participated in chat parties among little girls.
After going to work, she wanted to be an excellent and competent doctor, so she focused on studying various diseases, understanding their conditions with patients, and then working with her old director to discuss how to treat the disease.
Therefore, she really has no experience in dealing with teenage girls.
"Qingya, this flower on your head is so beautiful. Where did you buy it? This flower is not cheap, right? Your family is willing to buy you such a good flower!" Wang Qingxiang looked at the green flower on her head.
The two pink pearl flowers on the top are full of envy.
"I think I bought this from that jewelry store in town! It's not too expensive, right?" Zhu Qing was a little unsure.
She remembered that she went shopping with Mr. Wang, but she really had no memory of the specific store where she bought something.
"I've seen this. It was sold in that silver shop. It cost twenty cents per pair! This is already very expensive! Twenty cents is equivalent to my father's day's wages! My mother is anyway
Not willing to buy it for me!" Wang Qingxiang remembered it very clearly.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Of course she is no exception. The last time she went to the town to go to the market, she took a look at this pair of pearl flowers from a distance outside the silver shop, but she didn't dare to ask the price.
Later, when her mother wasn't paying attention, she sneaked in and took a closer look, and then she found out the price.
Of course, when she saw the price, she gave up. For twenty cents a head flower, her mother would have to be crazy to buy it for her.
Today I saw a pair on Zhuqing's head. Moreover, she had always heard that Zhuqing's family was poor. This was obviously a rumor!
How can a family who can buy a flower for twenty cents be poor?
No wonder her mother had discussed with her father to marry Zhuqing back as her sister-in-law! She thought her mother's decision was particularly wise!
If this eldest brother marries Zhuqing, maybe the family's life will be turned around in the future!
The more Wang Qingxiang thought about it, the more excited she became, so her attitude towards Zhu Qing was particularly kind. From time to time, she even invited Zhu Qing to eat.
The Wang family's dinner tonight is very rich. Because there are so many people, there are two tables for men and women. Zhushan is too young, so he can still follow the Wang family.
However, because of his weak body, he has never eaten much meat, so Mrs. Wang took good care of him.
She was worried that Zhushan would not eat up his stomach because of his greed.
She naturally had no time to take care of Zhu Qing beside her.
But Zhuqing had long been accustomed to it. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Compared to the relative calm on Wang's side, Sun Fucheng's side was bustling with excitement.
It was rare for Wang Jinshan to have several daughters come home, so he was quite happy. He kept asking his sons-in-law to come home.
Zhuqing's uncle Xiao Fei is okay. He usually likes to drink a cup and a half at home, and his drinking capacity is not bad.
The second uncle, Zhuang Yixuan, is having a hard time. He is just a scholar. He usually teaches in a school and rarely drinks alcohol. Moreover, his ability to drink is not good. He just drank two or three glasses and is already red-faced.
Sun Fucheng is an honest man and rarely has the opportunity to drink. However, he will not refuse. When his father-in-law asked him to do it, he would do it immediately. When his uncles asked him to finish the drink, he would not give in at all.
He finished the drink immediately. There were two brothers-in-law toasting with him, and he accepted all of them.
After a meal of wine, he was extremely drunk!
Seeing that he was drunk, Wang and Zhuqing, who were planning to go home, were dumbfounded.
He definitely couldn't take them home with him in this condition.
Wang Jufen and Wang Meifen were not far from their parents' home, so they had no plans to stay overnight.
Under such circumstances, Zhuqing's two aunts were overjoyed. They thought this was a rare and good opportunity.
So Zhuqing's grandfather kept persuading them to stay and stay one night before going back.
"Lan Fen, you can stay at my house! My house is big! Your whole family can live there!" Zhu Qing's aunt Zhang came over first to call for people.
"Lanfen, come and stay at my house! My Qingxiang and Zhuqing rarely get close, and it just so happens that Qingya can live in her house together! And there are two empty rooms in my backyard, which are just right for people to live in! My sister-in-law and her family have three rooms in total.
It's too crowded for your family of four to live in one room!" Zhuqing's second aunt was not to be outdone.
Mrs. Wang had never seen the enthusiasm of her two sisters-in-law before. She was very flattered by their enthusiasm. However, based on the previous advice from her two sisters-in-law, she still intuitively wanted to keep a distance from her two sisters-in-law.
Therefore, she tried her best to say in a firm yet gentle tone: "It's rare for us to go home, and I haven't been with dad for a long time. I'm staying at dad's place tonight. I think dad still has an empty room in the courtyard."
…”
Wang Jinshan was very happy when he saw that his eldest daughter-in-law and his second daughter-in-law were kind enough to keep their youngest daughter here. However, he had not been with his youngest daughter for a long time, so he thought he could chat with her more, so he said: "I
You can live in this east room. Lanfen, if you don’t mind us being dirty, you can deal with it here!"
This was what Wang was waiting for. When he heard what he said, he quickly said: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! How can I dislike it, dad? I only need to deal with it for one night, that's enough! I just cause trouble for you and mother.
!”
The room was so lively that Fang didn't say much.
When she heard what Wang said, she had no choice but to express her position: "What's the trouble? Just stay here! I have an empty room here all year round, just for you sisters. It's a pity that you have never been willing to move in before.
night!"
Wang was a little embarrassed when she said that.
Then she took Zhuqing and followed Fang to the empty east room. As expected, the room was fully equipped with beds, curtains and bedding. However, it had been unoccupied before, so it inevitably seemed a bit cold.
Mrs. Wang first helped the drunk Sun Fucheng lie down on the bed, then went to the kitchen and boiled hot water for him to boil his feet and wash his face. Then he asked Zhuqing and his younger brother to wash up and go to bed together.
Maybe it's rare to live outside, maybe it's the smell of old fabric in the quilt. In short, Zhuqing is a bit unfamiliar with the bed today, and she can't sleep. She and Zhushan share a bed, and Zhushan falls asleep as soon as he goes to bed.
Yes. He was young after all. He was tired after traveling all day, so he fell asleep all of a sudden.
Zhuqing didn't dare to turn over for fear of waking up Zhushan. The feeling was really terrible.
She didn't even know when she fell asleep.
The next day, Zhuqing was awakened by the sound of a big rooster crowing.
It had been a long time since she had heard such a loud rooster crow.
The bedding on the bed was old and not as soft and comfortable as the ones at home. Zhu Qing slept for most of the night and didn't feel any heat at all.
"Sister, wake up!" Zhushan's clear voice sounded in her ears.
Zhushan was already up! Only then did she realize that this was her grandfather's house. It was definitely impossible for her to sleep as long as she wanted.
So she quickly got dressed and got up. However, when she was combing her hair, she found that her pair of hair flowers had disappeared!
She was a little angry, but she thought that she was a guest when she went out and lost her things, so she couldn't blame others entirely.
"Qingya, I gave you those flowers in your hair, Sister Qingxiang. Don't be angry, I'll buy you a new pair later." When combing Zhuqing's hair, Mrs. Wang looked guilty.
She saw it last night. Wang Qingxiang was particularly envious of Zhu Qing's hair flowers. She thought that a pair of hair flowers was nothing, so she took the pearl flowers removed by Zhu Qing and gave them to Wang Qingxiang.
"It's okay! Just give it to her! Mom should have given her a meeting gift!" Zhu Qing didn't take these extraneous things very seriously. If Wang gave it away, forget it.
If it was stolen, she would definitely not be in a good mood.
"Well, Qingya, you are so sensible!" Wang didn't expect Zhuqing to be so reasonable, and was very embarrassed.
If she acted like this according to her previous temperament, she would definitely make a fuss or cry.
"Mom, actually you don't have to be like this. We can't please everyone. However, Qingxiang is also your only niece, so there's nothing wrong with you being nicer to her." Zhu Qing saw Wang's caution and timidity.
Mrs. Wang actually gave the pearl flower to Wang Qingxiang in order to appease her resentment for rejecting her second sister-in-law and not staying at their house.
Over at my sister-in-law's house, she got up this morning and gave her nephew a red envelope of fifty cents.
She tried her best to keep the bowl of water as smooth as possible so as not to offend the two sisters-in-law. At the same time, she also followed the advice of her sisters and did not plan to get closer to her two brothers.
"Hey, Qingya, you don't understand. Mom, there's nothing I can do about it." Mrs. Wang was hesitant to speak.
"Mom, don't treat me like a three-year-old child, okay? Let me tell you directly. When we come back this time, our eldest aunt and second aunt want to kiss us, right?" Zhu Qing went straight to the point.
, shocked Ms. Wang into a cold sweat: "Girl, what are you talking about? It's nothing!"
The two sisters-in-law didn't tell her clearly, so of course she had to pretend to be confused to avoid embarrassment to everyone.
"Mom, what's the point? Let me tell you the truth! Our family, including the two uncles' families, including the two aunts' families, cannot get married! Mr. Mo has already told me that within three generations
Close relatives cannot intermarry, otherwise they will give birth to deformed children." Zhu Qing planned to directly educate the Wang family.
In ancient times, there were many cousins, but Zhuqing didn't like this kind of pairing. Moreover, as far as eugenics and education were concerned, she would definitely refuse.
Hearing Zhuqing say this, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, there is such a way to say it? That would be great! Otherwise, I think if I offend your two aunts, it will be difficult to deal with them in the future.
We met. The most important thing is that your grandfather is in a bad mood. I don’t want to have to leave my parents’ home in the future.”
When Wang was in her natal family, she actually had a normal relationship with her two sisters-in-law. The main reason was that her two brothers got married early and the two sisters-in-law had their own selfish interests. So they didn't take much care of the youngest sister-in-law. But Wang
She is a kind-hearted person. She only feels that her father loves her more. She does not want to embarrass her father. Therefore, she always tries her best to have a good relationship with her two brothers.
"Mom, don't worry. As long as our family can make money, our situation will get better and better in the future. Those two aunts will never ignore us. Isn't there a saying that goes like this? If you are poor in the busy city, no one will ask you.
Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains. This is how human nature is." Zhu Qing saw things very clearly. Mrs. Wang glanced at her daughter and realized that she didn't know when her daughter started to see things clearly.
"Qingya, what you said makes sense, but I thought it was wrong. In the future, our family's conditions will get better and better. We can often come back to visit your grandpa. Then we can also help your two uncles. By then, our relationship will definitely only be
Getting closer and closer."
Wang felt relieved after being persuaded by Zhu Qing.
After the family of four got up, they had a simple breakfast and then said goodbye to their grandfather Wang Jinshan.
Before leaving, Wang Jinshan gave each of Zhuqing and Zhushan a big red envelope. Wang refused in every possible way, but could not refuse.
"This is not for you, but for my two grandsons. They haven't been here for so many years, and this thing can be considered as compensation from me." Wang Jinshan said in a tone that could not be refused.
He really felt sorry for his little daughter. This time, his little daughter could come back as a whole family of four, and he was indescribably happy.
"Come here often when you have time next time! Just don't bring so many things. Just your mother and I, we can't eat so much! Zhushan needs to be nourished, don't spend money randomly! After you save money,
I also want Zhushan to study! Don't always know how to live a good life!" Wang Jinshan said in a reproachful tone.
In fact, he must be happy in his heart. His little daughter has not had a good life for so many years and has become disgraced, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
This time, the family could finally come to celebrate the New Year happily, and brought so many things. He felt that his daughter would be able to live her life with her head up again in the village.
And from now on, there will no longer be that garrulous person coming to his house to make trouble, saying that he often supports his little daughter.
"Well, dad, feel free to use it and eat it! Our family's life is much better now! Don't make calculations like before! I owe you two elders so much for so many years!" Sun Fucheng replied.
