Aunt Wu nodded repeatedly, pulled Old Mrs. Li and said gratefully: "Old sister, we have enjoyed the blessings of your family. Both Dayong and Huiniang were rescued by your family. In the end, they You are giving us an advantage."
"Oh, sister-in-law, you can't say that. You two are doing your best to take care of these two children! Besides, Dayong said, our family is my husband's family, and yours is my mother's family. Look at us How wonderful it is that both families can rely on these two children!" Mrs. Li said and laughed, "Sister-in-law, our good intentions are rewarded!"
"Yes, yes!" Aunt Wu wiped away her tears and said She reached out to hug the twins and gave one to Mrs. Li. She couldn't help but show off, "Look, how well these two children have grown."
Not to mention the excitement in the room, it was just that Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu brought several people from the village. The woman was cooking, and Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru wanted to help, but they pushed her into the room to eat melon seeds and gossip.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food during the Chinese New Year, and it is easy to organize the banquet.
Soon, the meal will be ready.
Dayong and Huiniang held their two children in their arms, kowtowed to the village chief and Aunt Wu, and called them father and mother.
Aunt Wu directly took off the silver bracelet from her wrist and put it on Huiniang's hand.
The two mothers held each other's hands and cried. One would have a mother in the future, and the other would have a daughter to take care of until the end of her life.
Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade him and said congratulations one after another.
The meal was lively and cheerful, and by the end it was getting dark, and the village chief was so drunk that his tongue was stiff.
He started crying from the hardships in his youth to the happy days he has now.
After much persuasion, everyone finally put him to bed in the west room, with Li Yong accompanying him, fearing that the old man would need a drink of water at night.
Huiniang took her children and slept with Aunt Wu in the east room.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shui Yun and Shui Ling came back from home.
Both of them looked good, and they had gained weight. It was obvious that they had eaten well at home.
They brought two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes to Mrs. Li and Jiayin, both of which were sewn by their mother.
Firstly, it was to show filial piety to the boss, and secondly, it was to thank the boss for treating the two little girls well.
The two little girls have been talking about Mrs. Li and Miss Li for the past few days since they came home, and they have to say a few words from time to time.
Looking at the clothes, food and drink of the two of them, they definitely did not suffer any harsh treatment or suffering.
As a parent, who wouldn't be happy for their children to enjoy happiness?
So, out of gratitude, I worked all night to make these needlework.
In addition, Shui Yun and Shui Ling also brought some of their specialties to Jiayin.
One kind of noodle fish is particularly delicious.
It should be a prepared batter with bean paste added into it. It is poured into the mold and baked until golden on both sides. It tastes soft and sweet.
Jiayin ate three of them in one go, which made Shuiyun and Shui Ling extremely happy.
Of course, the most important thing is that they came back with two young men, Zheng He and Zheng Feng.
Zheng He and Zheng Feng are brothers. They are already married in their twenties.
Like Shuiyun Shuiling, they were selected to practice martial arts since childhood, but they also studied for several years.
This time, I followed the order of Lord Marquis and came to the Li family as an errand.
The Li family usually doesn't have many people at their disposal, only Ye Shan. Sometimes he has no skills at all.
From now on, the two brothers will live in Ye's courtyard and be on call whenever they are called.
It happened that on this day, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion also came to the door, and also sent the long-term entourage that the Marquis had arranged for Li Laoer.
The long-term attendant, Ye Tong, was in his thirties, with a short and chubby figure. He always smiled when he spoke. He looked kind-hearted, but the shrewdness in his eyes could not be ignored. Mrs. Li heard that Ye Tong was familiar with the conditions of various families in Kyoto and knew all the rules of the court. She couldn't wait to have Ye Tong imprisoned!
Call her timid or cowardly, as a mother, she really wants to gather all her sons together in Broken Gold Beach, not to let any of them go out, and just want to live a stable life.
But there is no way. The eldest son has to do business, the second son has to go to court, the third son has to take care of the children's studies, and the younger son has to go to war.
Her heart wished it had been divided into four parts, each one worrying about one.
Among them, the one who worries her the most is her second son. After all, in the court, a wrong word may lead to disaster.
With someone who is familiar with the court and understands the rules by her son's side, she and the whole family can rest assured.
The chief steward of the Hou Mansion was left to have lunch and then went back to the city.
The Marquis often comes to the palace these days, so he stays in the Marquis' mansion at night. He has to keep an eye on him at all times, for fear that the servants will not take good care of him...
In this way, the Li family has three more people.
Although they live in Ye's courtyard, Mrs. Li always feels that her home is too small and the construction of a second courtyard must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
After dinner that night, she gathered her children and grandchildren to talk.
"The fifteenth day will come in a few days and the weather will get warmer. Let's prepare the materials early and build the backyard quickly."
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and saw her granddaughter playing with her jade Ruyi, for fear of falling to the ground. After turning her granddaughter to one side of the table, she continued: "When the yard is built, I will move in with Hongying and Fu Niuer, and then set aside the rooms for the third couple and Jiahuan couple. From now on, I'll leave the front yard to you, you can do whatever you want."
Of course, Li Zhensheng and his brothers didn't have any objections, so Li Zhensheng said, "Mom, I wasn't at home before, so I didn't contribute much to building this yard. Now I finally catch up. For the expansion, I must provide money to prepare stone and wood."
Li Laoer also rushed to say: "Then I will be responsible for finding someone to build it."
Li Laosan and Li Laosi were about to talk, but Li Zhensheng stopped them, "Lao San, let the child Just take care of them. The fourth brother has to go to the military camp from time to time, so don't worry about home."
Li Laoer also said: "Brother is right, let's arrange it like this first. If me and eldest brother can't take care of it, I'll just ask you to come back and help me. ."
In other people's homes, building a house is a big deal, and many people even turn against each other because of it.
But in the Li family, the four brothers settled the matter in just a few words.
Mrs. Li was relieved to hear this. With such a son, she really wanted nothing more in life.
Jiayin also hugged Yu Ruyi and laughed.
She is thinking that after the new yard is built, she will be able to live in a room by herself, which will make it easier to access the space!
In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the new year and the college was about to start. Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were ready to take the children back to Luo'an.
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying helped with the arrangement, loading large and small bags onto the carriage, wishing they could move their entire family there.
The naughty boys were also reluctant to leave.
It's true that they haven't had enough fun, and even Jiaren has lost two points.
It is natural for all people to rely on home. No matter how old you are or how far away you are, home is where your heart aspires.
Mrs. Li sighed when she thought that her home would become deserted, but the future of her children was important!
She hugged her grandchildren one by one, then pushed them into the car and told them: "When you get to the college, study hard. When February 2nd, grandma will bring a big pig head to see you!"
