Chapter 165 Family and Everything Rises Finale

Just after the Qingming Festival, there was cold food, and there were no fewer people in cars and sedan on the road than those who swept the graves and sacrificed their ancestors the day before.

Most of them are women with large and small wraps, with several children of different heights, and some are families. Men drive with their wives and children, all of whom are women who return to peace with cold food.

The weather in the north is still a little cold in early April, especially in the early morning.

Xu Lingzi sat on the ox cart, holding her little daughter in her arms. She always felt that the oncoming wind was a little cool. She reached out and tightened the quilt on the child's body, and asked her eldest daughter and son if it was cold.

The eldest daughter Zheng Hui is eight years old this year and has been holding her younger brother sensiblely all the way.

My son Zheng Yuan is five years old this year. It's the time when he is naughty and active. He can't even press it. Fortunately, he got up early today and is still sleepy now, so he is relatively honest and obediently nestled in his sister's arms. The sky is big and the earth is the biggest, and he sleeps the most.

The road ahead is not easy to walk. Zheng Qi jumped down from the cham and pulled the cow's reins in front for fear of bumping on his wife and children.

Although he was so careful, Zheng Yuan was still woken up. His chubby little hands rubbed his sleepy eyes and hummed, "Mom, how long will it take?"

"I'm about to get over this mountain."

The youngest daughter was born in the first month. Because she was waiting for delivery and confinement, she couldn't go back to her mother's house this year. After waiting for the cold food, she recovered. The youngest daughter was also a little older in the month and quickly urged her husband to go home with a car.

For this reason, my mother-in-law still complained a lot. It's not that she didn't let her go back to her mother's house, but that she felt that the child was too young and wanted to stay at home.

However, my mother-in-law is still a measured person. She didn't talk to herself directly, but talked to Zheng Qi in private.

Zheng Qi knows Xu Lingzi's thoughts. Her parents are getting older and older. Although the two families are not too far away, they have no reason to always go back to their mother's home. Moreover, no one can say when they will be gone. Therefore, it is good to take their children back and show them to their parents first.

My mother-in-law had nothing to say, but she was still worried. Before leaving, in addition to the gifts she brought to her in-laws, she also specially put a bag of clothes and thin blankets on the car. She also said that it was rare to go back and stay for two more days before coming back. Now there is nothing to do at home, and she also has three children with her. OK.

Xu Lingzi was very sympathetic about this. Thinking that she was almost divided for her marriage, she almost went to the temple to twist her hair to be her sister-in-law. Fortunately, the third brother and fourth brother were on her side. At that time, she only felt physically and mentally exhausted and married in confusion.

Now, every time I think about it, I feel more and more that my life is good. Now my husband knows the cold and hot, and my parents-in-law are also reasonable people. There is no sister-in-law and sister-in-law at home. If you have children and daughters, don't live a comfortable life.

The ox cart staggered for another half an hour and was about to go down to the foot of the mountain. There were no trees and weeds on both sides of the road, but medicinal fields surrounded by wooden railings.

At this time, the weather was still early, and the ground was just sporadically green, and some brown land was exposed.

After walking for a while, both sides of the road will gradually become perennial herbs, with large areas of green onions. In this season before spring and flowers bloom, they look particularly eye-catching.

"Your herbs have become famous. A few days ago, I went to the capital to buy goods and saw some pharmacy shops hanging under the cover, saying Xu's medicinal herbs. The business is particularly good!"

"What's my family's ability is not because the Wu family doesn't pay credit." Xu Lingzi didn't want to say more about this matter.

Xu Xing'er is smart and capable. Xu Lingzi has been in her eyes over the years, but Xing'er herself is low-key and pushes everything to others. It's not her ability to say anything.

In this way, just squabble outsiders, or Mrs. Xu is so ignorant.

However, Xu Laosan's family is not a person who likes to show off, and they feel that it is not a good thing for a daughter's family who has not gone out to have a big reputation, and it is necessary to provoke trouble, so the external caliber is the same.

Xu Lingzi got the benefits of her brother in choosing a son-in-law, and more and more refused to cause trouble for her brother's family, for fear that someone in her mother-law would have any idea that should not be moved.

As the saying goes, when relatives come from afar, it is easy to have conflicts when they come together, not to mention any money and business exchanges.

What's more, Xu Xinger is a lively person. She can think of others in everything. When she saw Xu Lingzi giving birth to a daughter, she was afraid that she would be angry at her mother-in-law's house. She entrusted someone to pull a business for Zheng Qi, and even the guarantor brought her capital and sent it to the door.

The rarest job is that Zheng Qi's temper is very suitable. He can't say that he can't jump off, but he likes to run around. He is right, so he is also willing to work hard. Over the past few years, he has also managed very well.

Naturally, the capital was returned to Xu Xinger and gave a lot of thank-you gifts, but this love can't be written off by returning the money and giving gifts. Her life is not bad. Of course, Xu Lingzi is unwilling to let her mother's niece help her again.

After many years of husband and wife, Zheng Qi dares not say that she can fully understand Xu Lingzi's thoughts, but she can also guess a seven or eight. Just now, she just said casually. Seeing that Xu Lingzi is not very interested, she changed the topic and asked, "Xing'er is also a 17 or 18th big girl now. She has been married early. Why haven't she married yet?"

Hearing her husband talk about this, Xu Lingzi also frowned and sighed and said, "Who knows what brother and sister-in-law's plan is? Maybe she can't bear to give up her daughter, but the girl's family should not stay for too long, otherwise she will be like me back then, and she doesn't know how much she has suffered."

"Why do you think of this again?" Zheng Qi felt that he had forgotten to read the almanac. Maybe it was an inappropriate day to talk about it. No matter how he mentioned anything, it was wrong.

Xu Lingzi didn't take it too seriously. She is so strong that she swallowed any pain herself. Now that she can say this, it means that she no longer cares.

"I have to ask when I go back this time. Taoer is 14 years old now. If it continues to delay, won't even be delayed later?" Xu Lingzi said, "For good, it's separated now, otherwise the three daughters of the eldest brother's family would have blow up the temple long ago."

Zheng Qi said with a smile, "But the Wu family is not in a hurry now, so you don't have to worry too much."

Xu Lingzi stared at him anly and said, "Why did you say all the right and negative words!" After saying that, he turned his head to see the child and ignored him.

Zheng Qi was so bored that she had to concentrate on catching the car.

The ox cart walked along the mountain road to the mountain pass, and you could see someone squatting and smoking on the roadside in the distance.

Zheng Qi narrowed her eyes and asked Xu Lingzi, "Your eyes are good. Let's see if it's the third brother in front of you?"

Xu Lingzi turned her head and looked at it. She quickly urged Zheng Qi, "Hurry up. I don't know how long the third brother has been waiting here."

When the ox cart approached, Xu Laosan had knocked the cigarette pot clean and got up to put the cigarette bag behind his waist.

"Third brother, why are you waiting here in the cold weather!" Zheng Qi jumped out of the car and greeted Xu Laosan.

"Didn't you build a new house last autumn? You didn't come back during the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, we all moved in. Your sister-in-law was afraid that you would go to the old house again, so she asked me to come and welcome you." Xu Laosan didn't say much. For some reason, he sat on the car on the other side and pointed to the direction to the village.

When Xu Lingzi saw her mother's brother, she couldn't help being idle and couldn't help asking, "How are your parents?"

"It's all good!"

"How are your sister-in-law and children?"

"It's all good!"

"Xing'er has been betrothed for several years, why don't you get married?"

"That girl has an idea and can't be her master!"

When Xu Laosan said this, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Although the marriage was the words of his parents' matchmaker, Xu Xinger was the same as other people's daughters.

Other families are made for my daughter to earn food and clothing, but their own family has been reversed. Nowadays, these family businesses are not set by Xu Xinger, and they don't even have to worry about marriage.

She and Shanzi grew up together for half a while. The two families know the root of it. They not only have a master-apprentice relationship, but also help each other in the herbal business.

Now Shanzi has no objection, and the Wu family is not in a hurry. Why bother to force your daughter? It's not bad to stay for a few more years.

Xu Lingzi didn't exactly think so and said to Xu Laosan, "I still want to tell Taoer about the marriage!"

Although the eldest sister is not married, after all, it is a marriage, which does not affect her sister's marriage. But now no one knows when Xu Xinger wants to get married. It's hard to say whether the man's family is willing or not.

Although the Xu family is now different from the past, many people want to have this marriage, saying that it is not a big deal to wait for two or three years after the marriage, but there is not even a date, who will be willing.

Xu Laosan didn't pay attention to the sister's worries at all and said happily, "Go and tell Xing'er about Taoer's marriage. As long as she nod, I'll handle it with your sister-in-law."

Xu Lingzi couldn't help but have a headache and rubbed her forehead, but she couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

In terms of making money, the whole family is not as good as Xu Xinger.

In terms of vision, although Xu Lingzi is a little older, she dares not say that she can be more accurate than that little girl.

In terms of temper, although there are more quiet times now, no one can stop him from starting a fire, but there is a mountain to support him, which is simply getting more and more fierce.

In terms of protecting her shortcomings, she is the boss of the family. She simply pulls up several siblings as children. She scolds and beats herself, but if others dares to touch a finger, no matter what the reason, she can't wait to chop off people's hands.

Xu Laosan's family has such a tough existence, but they have suffered a lot in recent years.

After Mrs. Xu had that problem, Xu Xinger filled her deficit and solved the matter.

But the old man and the old lady were still hurt by the eldest family.

Mrs Xu was very ill, but she was taken over and taken good care of by Mr. Xu's family. In recent years, although her body is not as good as before, her face is also more ruddy than that of ordinary old ladies. She can walk and move, and she is not as sick, and she is still full of breath when she curses people!

As soon as Xu Lingzi arrived at the newly built house of Xu Laosan's family, she couldn't help saying, "Third brother, Xing'er is really promising. She gave birth to such a daughter and is a son from other people's family!"

Xu Laosan just smiled when he heard the words. He is not good at words, but he is also proud of his daughter. Xing'er has been very thoughtful since she was a child. She is shrewd and capable. When she separated, she went out of the house cleanly, but she lived a better life than anyone else.

The most rare thing is that she is filial and does not hold grudges. After Mrs. Xu's illness, Xu Laosan felt quite uncomfortable. No matter how much she is, it is her mother, but the family business is earned by her daughter, and it is difficult for her to say that she wants to take over the old man.

Who knew that Xu Xinger took the initiative to come to the door and took the second old man to live in. The doctor's medicine was properly arranged. Even the most picky old lady Xu can't say half of her granddaughter now.

Xu Laosan secretly thanked her, but Xu Xinger said, "Dad, I can't afford this thank you. Filial piety should be given to the elders. It doesn't depends on whether the elders are good or not. If there is no father, there will be no father, and if there is no father, there will be no me. Just looking at this, I should give the elderly."

"Why are you in a daze at the door? My sister-in-law has gone in." Ye's words shocked Xu Laosan, who was immersed in his memory. She took a few steps quickly and caught up with Xu Lingzi and said, "There is still a fire in my kitchen. The fourth sister-in-law can't take care of it by herself. I don't know what happened. She hasn't come back yet. You can give a few children to Tao'er. She is stable now. Let her take her to eat fruit and play. If she is tired, she can go to Tao'er's room to sleep. Ask your third brother to show you the yard, then sit at your mother's place for a while, wait for lunch, stop and let's talk again.

Without saying that, without waiting for Xu Lingzi to answer, she left with a breeze.

Originally, Ye also wanted to go back to her mother's house, but because Xu Lingzi was coming back and had no one to take care of the family, she took the initiative to stay. Seeing this, Wang also asked someone to send a message to her home, saying that her aunt and uncle would return home and help her work for a few days before going home. Naturally, her mother's family would not refuse.

"The third sister-in-law has become more and more capable over the years." Xu Lingzi followed Xu Laosan as she walked in and looked around.

There are five houses with green brick courtyard walls. The first two entrances are not inhabited by people. The first entrance is the livestock fence and the toilet, and the middle is the hall. After passing through, the second entrance is also a courtyard from east to west. One side is a stove, and the other side is a large tong shop, which is for those who occasionally come to help workers to rest, and occasionally some people will stay overnight. After entering, there is a corridor, which is built into a warehouse on both sides, and the two gates in the middle are locked back and forth every night. After entering, it is the inner house where you live in.

The back three-entry main rooms are all three bright and two dark rooms. Each has its own wing rooms. As soon as they enter, they naturally live in the old man Xu and Mrs. Xu live in the second entrance. The second entrance is now the Xu Laosan couple. Tao'er, Locker and Chestnut live in the east-west wing respectively.

The last entry was left to Xu Xinger. There were five main rooms. She lived in the east by herself and made the west study. Now Suoer and Lizi are reading and learning here every day. There are no compartments in the east and west wing rooms. She still uses it as a greenhouse or something from time to time in winter.

Xu Lingzi looked at the room and heard Xu Laosan say that these were all figured out by Xu Xinger herself, and then found someone to come back to cover it up. She couldn't help thinking, what else could Xing'er not do?

Zheng Qi was also amazed. Even if such a big house is placed in the city, it is better than many people's homes, and the design is also very reasonable. There are corridors on both sides, and there are halls and cloisters in the middle. Whether it is moving things or leaving people, you can take close to each other. At night, as long as it is locked everywhere, the back house list will be placed. Separated alone, you can't walk around at will. It is indeed very convenient and practical, and the houses are built very high, all one and a half floors. The lower floor is full of people, and the upper half of the floor is an attic, which is also very reasonable to use it as a warehouse.

I turned around, went back to the front yard from the outside, took the gift I brought, and then went to see Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw old man Xu sitting smoking under the tree. He saw people coming with words and laughter. He leaned, but he froze awkwardly. He hummed and turned his head aside.

When Xu Lingzi saw him, she hurried up and asked, "Dad! Is your body still strong?

Zheng Qi is also a well-sighted man. Although the marriage between the two was very unpleasant, he and Xu Lingzi naturally did not care too much about his wife. What's more, Xu Xing'er still helped him start a business, and in terms of emotional theory, he still got the benefits of his daughter-in-law's family.

So when he saw the old man Xu, he quickly came forward and said, "My father-in-law, my parents knew that we were coming. They specifically said that Lingzi couldn't come back because of confinement during the Spring Festival. Your second old man must miss your daughter, so let us come back for a few more days this time, and also brought you some clothes and food, as some tonic herbs."

Old man Xu looked at his daughter's face, but he was embarrassed to his son-in-law and nodded, "Just come back and have a look. What are you doing with so many things from afar? There are many medicinal materials at home, and Lingzi and I are not bad. Let's take these back to mend your parents."

"No matter how many there are at home, they are also from home. What's more, these are not local. I went out to buy them and brought them back. It is said that it is good for elderly people to eat. My parents have just begun to eat these. These are specially filial to my mother-in-law. If they eat well, I will sell them back later."

After Zheng Qi finished speaking, he said to Xu Laosan, "Brother, where do you think you should put these things?" Then he left with Xu Laosan.

Old Xu was satisfied with his practice of leaving space for himself and his daughter. He nodded and looked at Xu Lingzi again. Seeing that she was a little fatter than the last time, she looked good, and he was much relieved.

Xu Lingzi was also looking at the old man Xu. Seeing that the spirit between his eyebrows was still enough, his originally tough body was a little rickety, which was obviously not as strong as the last time he came back, and his heart was a little sad.

"How have you been recently? How are the children?" Old man Xu asked hard.

"All right, in order to get up too early today, several children are trapped. I'll ask them to go in and sleep with Tao'er before coming out."

Old man Xu snorted and said unhappily, "When you get home, don't say that you can take the children to show us first. Instead, what yard can you walk first? Can you run away with the yard here?"

Only then did Xu Lingzi know why the old man was not willing to do it. She smiled and said, "We have lived for several days. At that time, it will be annoying when you see them. You can make trouble one by one!"

Old man Xu was more angry and said, "Your mother knows that you come back today and has to cook your favorite dishes in person. Your brother and sister-in-law can't stop them. I guess they are still in the kitchen now. I don't know you've arrived!"

"I met my third sister-in-law when I entered the door. She should have told my mother that I'll go and have a look." Xu Lingzi said and walked forward when she met Mrs. Xu, who came back while wiping her hands.

"Mother!" Xu Lingzi quickly greeted him and said with a smile, "What delicious food have you made for me?"

Mrs Xu said, "I thought you like eggplant boxes and planned to fry some for you. As a result, now that you are old and useless, you almost burned the oil. Your sister-in-law happened to say that you came back, so I won't wrap them up in the kitchen."

Xu Lingzi heard this and looked at her gray hair. They were already late parents. The sourness just now gradually surged up, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.

Old Xu knew that their mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time. He must have a lot to say, and he couldn't see his daughter crying. He immediately went to Xu Laosan and Zheng Qi to smoke and talk with him behind his back.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xu took Xu Lingzi's hand directly and took it to her room.

As soon as she pulled someone down, she asked, "This time I gave birth to another daughter. Did your parents-in-law show you a look? Did the son-in-law say anything? How's life at home? How about a few children?

Before Xu Lingzi could speak, she said, "Yun'er is also five years old this year. It's almost time to ask someone to enlighten her, right? Locker is five years old, and now he reads well!"

"Mom, don't worry." Xu Lingzi replied one by one, "Although I gave birth to a daughter this time, my mother-in-law also liked it very much. When we came back this time, she also said that there was a long way to go. Why don't we leave my little daughter at home and take care of her for a few days? I thought I should bring her back to you. My mother-in-law did not insist on staying. She also said that it was rare to come back once and let us stay for a few days before going back. The child's father is also good, not as capable as Xing'er, but he is also diligent. The family is also living a good life. Several children are good. Yuan'er can't compare with Suo'er. Suo'er has been brought up since childhood and will recite poems when he can't write. There are several children who are so smart. I plan to wait until the age of six to enlighten him. It's too early for fear of detention. He doesn't like to learn anymore.

"That's fine, as long as you know it yourself." Mrs. Xu nodded. Now her temper is much milder. She is no longer as strong as before. She has to listen to herself about everything.

"Mom, how have you been recently?" Xu Lingzi couldn't help asking, "Last time Xing'er went to write about your leg pain, is it better now?"

"It's okay. Your third brother is very good to me. They don't let me do anything on weekdays. Can it be bad to have something to eat and drink?" Mrs. Xu said casually that the farmers have worked hard for most of their lives. Who can have a pain in their back and legs? Now their days are better, and many people in the village are so envious that their eyes are red.

Old Mrs. Xu has also figured out a lot of things over the years. The third family used to leave the house, but now they are the most promising, and they take care of their old couple regardless of the past. What else is ins insatiable?

Looking at Xu Lingzi, with the blessing of the old three families, life is getting better and better. Now that you have children, you can live a down-to-earth life.

"Xing'er's girl came back two days ago and said that she wanted to buy a girl to serve us. She shook her head like something in fear, and repeatedly said that she couldn't afford to enjoy the blessing. There was someone to serve her, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Xing'er gave up..." Mrs. Xu talked about these trivial things.

Xu Lingzi was very careful and soon saw that Mrs. Xu seemed to have something on her mind.

"Then how do you look worried and unhappy?"

Mrs Xu sighed, "You have each become a family. What else am I unhappy about? It's just that the boss has really changed now. He almost doesn't care about me and your father. Your second brother is so far away from his hometown. I don't know if we can meet again before your father dies..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? You and your father are so good, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Lingzi can't hear these the most now. Occasionally, when she thinks of her parents' age, she may leave herself in a few years, and she can't help wiping a few tears. Now it's even more uncomfortable to hear Mrs. Xu say this.

"If you want your second brother, ask someone to write a letter to let him come back. Anyway, it's a family. If you break the bones and the tendons are still connected, why do you have to die?" Xu Lingzi comforted him, "It's not that you don't know Dad. He is used to being a knife-billed person."

" Besides, now the third family is serving you two elders. The family eats well and lives well. Sun men and women are all around. Why bother to be sad and uncomfortable for the eldest brother? In the end, it is not yourself who suffers."

Mr. Xu sighed again, "Well, I also know that it's all the meat that fell from my body. How can I not care about it?"

"Mom, you can just read this in front of me, but don't say it in front of others." Xu Lingzi stopped her and specially got up to look back and forth. Seeing that no one came back to sit down again and whispered, "When the family was separated, the third brother left his property to you and your father. Xing'er also told Li Zheng that she would give you two old people for retirement in the future. Now they have done everything properly. You can't It makes people feel cold again."

"The eldest brother is honest, but he can't stand a daughter-in-law who jumps up and down. If you tell the third brother that you want the eldest brother to come back, the third brother is so filial and will definitely not agree, but what will he do after he comes back? Let the third brother support their family again? Dou Mi'en raised his hatred, and his relatives also did not save the poor.

"If you want to be poor, who had three brothers at the beginning? But how do you think they are now?" Xu Lingzi said seriously, "People can only go up if they want to fight up. The mud is mud everywhere, and they can't hold the wall!"

"I know, I know, I'm just talking to you!" Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly by her, indicating that she didn't want to call the eldest family to her side. "I'm just saying a few words to you. Look, your heart has abducted your third brother and third sister-in-law."

When Xu Lingzi heard this, she did not deny it, but directly admitted, "Who is the third brother and third sister-in-law? Although Xing'er is occasionally fierce, she has nothing to say to her family.

"Yes, yes, that's all you said. Can't I promise not to talk about it in the future?"

Xu Lingzi laughed, and the mother and daughter did not continue to talk more about this topic, but talked about some trivial things such as mother-in-law and children.

Knowing that Xu Lingzi was still living a comfortable life at her mother-in-law's house, Mrs. Xu also sighed a little.

"In those years, I was wrong. If it hadn't been for the persistence of the third and fourth, and Xing'er's child took money to plug the hole, now you..."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then heard the noise outside. Chestnut's voice was particularly loud, pulling her neck and shouting, "Sister, sister."

"It's Xing'er's girl who came back." At this time, when Mrs. Xu talked about Xu Xinger, she had long lost the disdain of those years, and her smile was full of love.

Xu Xinger always had to run to the city because of business. She simply bought a small yard in the city and lived on both sides.

Yesterday, I came back from Tomb-sweeping Day to sweep the tomb. I planned to stay for a few more days and wait for Xu Lingzi to leave before returning to the city. Who knew that before coming down from the mountain, the clerk in the shop chased me again and said that there was a big business, and the shopkeeper did not dare to make the decision, so he had to let Xing'er go back quickly.

Xu Xinger had no choice but to rush back to the city in the afternoon. When the business negotiations were dark, she had to stay in the city for one night. She planned to come back early this morning, but she was tripped by the mountain again.

Tomb-sweeping is a private matter. Even if they were engaged, they did not follow the other party's house to sweep the tomb, so Shanzi was left alone in the city. This time, he went home for a cold meal, and when Xu Lingzi's family came back, Shanzi insisted on following him.

Xu Xinger refused at first, saying that my aunt and uncle Gui Ning, what did you do?

But Shanzi couldn't hold on to her like a plaster, and finally followed her with a big bag in his hand.

When Xu Laosan saw his daughter and son-in-law come back, he naturally looked happy and quickly came forward to take the things.

Ye couldn't help scolding, "It's not that I don't know that your sister-in-law and uncle are coming. Why did they come back so late!"

Hurry home at the entrance of the meal, this is just your own home, otherwise you will be looked down upon.

"I got up very early, but I tripped up at the last minute." Xu Xinger could only tell a lie. She couldn't say that she was annoyed by Shanzi and came back late.

"It's okay to do anything, and it's not an outsider." Zheng Qi quickly came up to make a round.

Xu Xinger and Shanzi went to meet Mrs. Xu, and then said, "Nanny, sister-in-law, it's time to eat."

Xu Lingzi helped the old lady get up and go to the hall for dinner.

Now that the family is big and not as constrained as before, they simply set up a large table and everyone sat around to eat.

Locker and Lizi are now almost ten years old. Both of them have been studying and have been taught by Xu Xinger.

It was when Locker grew up. The amount of food was much larger than before, but chestnuts have been able to eat since she was a child. Now it looks about the same amount of food as Locker. Fortunately, although she was fat when she was a child, her body began to grow taller when she was six or seven years old. Now she has been better than Lock My son is more than half a head taller, but he looks much thinner.

Old Xu is very happy, because the whole family hasn't had such a happy meal together for a long time.

Mrs Xu couldn't help thinking, how good it would be if the eldest and second brother were also here?

Thinking of this, the dish on the chopsticks fell on the table.

Ye was careful, sensed her thoughts, and comforted her, "Mom, eat more. I'll accompany you to see the eldest brother when you have time!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, there was a burst of warmth in her heart, but she couldn't say anything beautiful. She had to secretly hold Ye's hand under the dinner table and whispered, "Okay, okay, you still want Zhou Dao."

Xu Xinger suddenly said, "Milk, my second uncle may come back in a while."

When old man Xu heard this, he stared and shouted, "Why did he come back!"

"Come back and see you and your milk." Xu Xinger actually saw that Mrs. Xu missed her son for a long time, but after all, she was not Ye and didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

So she didn't say anything, but sent someone to her hometown to inquire about a lot of Xu Laoji.

After coming back, I verified the family letters brought back by one by Xu Laoer. Sure enough, there was no deception or exaggeration, and I was relieved first. Then I learned that Xu Laoer had been there for several years. Later, I found that I couldn't get along any longer, so I took my heart and married a daughter-in-law honestly. Now I have a son and a daughter. , but they are a little younger.

After understanding these clearly, she asked someone to send a letter to Xu Laosan, inviting him to come back to see his parents when he was free.

After listening to Xing'er's words, Mrs. Xu's last worry in her heart dissipated. Her eyes were red with excitement and said in a row, "Okay, okay..."

Xu Lingzi pulled out a veil to wipe Mrs. Xu's tears, but turned her head and threw the topic to Xu Xinger.

"Xing'er, you and Shanzi have been engaged for several years. When are you going to get married? Maybe your second uncle will just catch up with your marriage!"

The people in the room suddenly lost their voices and all stared at Xu Xinger.

Although Xu Xinger was not thin-skinned, there were still children on the table, and Shanzi was also there. She suddenly said this matter, so she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Naturally, she has her own plan. She has been procrastinating and refusing to get married. She said that she is reluctant to give up her parents and siblings, but in fact, she feels that before she gets married, she will accumulate more property for her family before she gets married, otherwise, let alone in ancient times, even in modern times, she has been making up for her mother's family. It is also easy to be dissatisfied by my husband's family. Instead of having many conflicts at that time, it's better to delay for a few more years.

But she has never said this to anyone. Even her parents didn't say it. How could she say it? She just vaguely said that it was because business matters had not been fully formal.

On the contrary, Shanzi opened his mouth to help her relieve the siege and said, "In fact, it's not only because of business. My family has some research on medicine. Knowing that women have given birth too early, it may not be a good thing for her body. Xing'er's health is not good. In recent years, my third uncle has also been using medicinal diet to recuperate her. Besides, neither of us are in a hurry. Let' It's the same to get a family again, so I plan to wait another two years.

Shanzi's words are well-founded and convincing, and this is also a topic of some privacy.

Xu Lingzi felt that her question was too abrupt, and the rest of the adults on the table were silent, and no one had ever thought about it.

Which is more important, marriage or the body is naturally more important. What's more, the Wu family not only does not dislike it, but has been helping Xu Xinger find a way to nourish her body and find such a good family.

Xu Laosan and Ye Shi were also a little ashamed when they heard this. Why is their daughter's health not good? It's not because they didn't have enough to eat well when they were young, and they had to work hard.

So the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little strange, and everyone began to pick up dishes for Xu Xinger.

Xu Xinger's appetite is not big, and now she can't eat too much without hard work, and she has been pushed into the mountain bowl.

The men are still drinking. The women take their children to the room to rest, coaxing the children to sleep while chatting about their parents.

Xu Xinger was a little full. Seeing that the sun was good outside, she simply planned to go to the medicine field to have a look, and Shanzi naturally followed.

Xu Xinger has been silent on the road. She knows that she did this. In fact, it is not fair to Shanzi. The relationship between them for so many years has been more tacit understanding and communication than many couples, but she still dares to say something.

Because she always feels that although Shanzi respects her and tolerates her, it is from the root. The thoughts of the two people are not from the same era. She is afraid that some words will create a gap between them.

Usually at this time, Shanzi usually has nothing to say, but today Shanzi is also surprisingly quiet.

The two of them turned around a few medicinal fields closer to their home, and then found a big tree to sit down and rest.

"Thank you for relieving me in the afternoon." Xu Xinger lowered her head and pulled the weeds on the ground and said in a muffled voice.

"Xing'er, we've known each other for so many years. What are you thinking? I think I can roughly guess what's going on."

When Xu Xinger heard the words, she looked up at Shanzi and opened her mouth, but could not make a sound.

Shanzi didn't say much, but took out a pile of documents from his arms and stuffed them into Xu Xinger's hand.

Xu Xinger was confused and looked down at the deeds and found that they were all transferred deeds of some stores. Those deeds were written with Xu Xinger's name.

"What are you doing?" Xu Xinger stood up.

"I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that you can't help the family openly after marrying."

Seeing that Xu Xinger was eager to explain something, Shanzi stopped her and said first, "You know, if you tell me clearly, I will definitely agree to help the family, but you don't want to do that, just like you would rather take the wages than accept the dividends given to you by your third uncle."

"I will say comfort promises, but I don't think these can really reassure you. It's better to just put them in place in one step."

Shanzi said this, stood up straight, smiled and bowed to Xu Xinger to the ground, dragging the drama and said, "Madam, now, this business is all up to you to take care of, and you will rely on your husband in the future--

Xu Xinger's eyes turned red by what he said, and he heard Shanzi say again, "As long as there is food, clothes, and sleeping, the most important thing is that with you are by my side, the rest is nothing."

Xu Xinger threw away the document in her arms and rushed directly into Shanzi's arms. Her arms were tightened on his waist and her ears were close to his chest. She listened to his faster and faster heartbeat. Her eyes were full of tears and the corners of her mouth said with a smile, "Let's choose an auspicious day and get married!"
