Chapter 236

"Oh, yes! I'll come. " Zhang Dacheng turned the wine pot hard. This time, Yuan Fuzi won the bid. In front of the master, Zhang Dacheng did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he asked a question without depth.

Zhang Qiao is very lucky. After playing for an hour, she has never met her.

When the time came, every family set off firecrackers.

Gu Qian's master and servant also went back to Houshan with the sound of firecrackers.

……

The next day, the firecrackers were blowing and no one woke up. After Zhang Qiao got up to wash, she picked up Zhang Qian, who was in the quilt. Until she washed her face, the little guy slowly woke up.

"Second sister, they still want to sleep."

"No! After breakfast, you have to go to different families to pay New Year's greetings with your father and elder brother. If you're really sleepy, I'll go home and sleep again. "

Zhang Qiao smiles and pinches her nose.

The little guy was excited all night last night, lying in bed and talking all the time. It's understandable that we can't get up now. It's just the custom of the first day of the lunar new year.

Besides, with Mr. Yuan here this year, all the children in the village yard will pay New Year's greetings to him.

"No, second sister."

"No, you gargle. I'll go to the kitchen and help my mother heat the food." Zhang Qiao put her down, pulled up her clothes, and then came out of the room.

Open the door, you can see the world is a vast expanse of white.

"It's snowing!"

"What?" Zhang Qian ran out of the house and looked at the thin layer of snow in the courtyard. She was so excited that she didn't feel sleepy. "Wow, it's snowing."

Zhang Qiao put her back in the room, "gargle first, it's cold outside, you can't catch cold."

"Yes, yes! I'll go and gargle at once. "

"What a child." Zhang Qiao shakes her head and dotes on her eyes.

She closed the door and walked from the corridor to the kitchen. There was already hot air in it. Zhang Dacheng was burning a fire, Liu was heating the food, and Zhang Liding was filling the kettle with boiling water.

"Mom and Dad, big brother, happy new year."

"Happy New Year!" Three people smile.

Zhang Qiao went to Zhang Liding and said, "brother, you are so sweet. It's very cold, but with this hand pot, it's warm. "

A copper hand pot filled with hot water, stuffed with cork, and finally placed in a thick cloth bag. Holding the hand pot can warm hands, with cloth bags between, without scalding hands.

There was no such exquisite thing at home. Gu Qian asked Shi Song to send it years ago. There are five members in a family, one in each.

I didn't expect it would come in so soon.

Zhang Dacheng shoved a handful of firewood into the stove and sighed, "Mr. Gu is really a prophet. This pot is delivered in time. After all, he has a heart

Zhang Qiao smiles and doesn't answer.

Liu did not answer.

The food is from last night. The custom here is to have more than one meal every year. On the first day of the lunar new year, if you don't cook, you will eat the leftovers of yesterday.

Eat breakfast before dawn, and then pay a new year's call to every family early.

As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were finished in the kitchen, the family of Zhang qiaoren had a good meal.

"Mother, you go, I'll wash it."

"Yes

Liu dried his hands, took off his apron, and rushed to the flower hall to receive new year's greetings on behalf of his family. He also wanted to give some snacks and return a few auspicious words.

Generally, girls with hairpins don't go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings or entertain guests. Zhang qiaole was so relaxed that she went back to her room to write a recipe for medicated food.

When Zhang Dacheng and them come back, Zhang Qiao will go with them to pay New Year's greetings to Gu Qian.

On the way, they met old man Zhang.

It was a moment of embarrassment.

Zhang Dacheng came forward with a smile, "Dad, son, I wish you all the best, everything goes well and good health. When my son went home earlier, my parents were not there. I... "

"Hum!" Old man Zhang snorted, his face heavy, very unhappy, "do you know there are parents?"

"Dad, how do you say that?"

"Boss, you have a good life now, but you have forgotten your origin. Your third brother is not at home. How hard it is to live at home, don't you know? The pig slaughtering banquet didn't call the family to eat, but sent two pots of leftovers from others. Do you think your parents are the old black dog at your door? "

The more old man Zhang said, the more angry he became.

Last night, Zhang Dacheng didn't come to invite him to dinner. He was always worried.

Smell speech, Zhang Dacheng father son several people all changed facial expression.

Zhang Qiao refuses to accept, and wants to go forward to theory. Zhang Dacheng quietly moves to her and stops her.

"Dad, you really wronged your son. Every time my son came to visit my parents, but my son couldn't do what my parents asked. If you don't want to make your parents angry, your son can only be a little more knowledgeable. "

Every time I asked her several times, she didn't give face and asked Zhang Qiao to kneel down and beg for help. Zhang Dacheng can't do it. As time goes by, he won't invite him.

Sometimes, it's obviously a good thing. As a result, because they invited the two elders to dinner, they were angry and made their wives and children suffer.

As for the sad life of the old Zhang family, Zhang Dacheng really doesn't want to take care of it.No matter what he does, his wife and children will never forgive him.

"You?" Old man Zhang didn't expect him to speak so frankly, "you You are really unfilial and ungrateful. Think that life is good, after you don't need family help? You're a white eyed wolf, an anti bone thief. You don't recognize your family. "

Old man Zhang pointed at Zhang Dacheng's head and scolded him, and his mouth foam was sprayed on Zhang Dacheng's face. He only counted on his elder son and didn't invite him to the new year's Eve dinner. He didn't remember that his third son came to steal things and hurt his elder son.

"Your family is living a good life. Instead of helping your third brother, you have to go to the government to arrest him. Now your third brother's whereabouts are unknown. His three children have no father, and they are not fed and clothed. It's all your great uncle's fault. "

Listening to these words, the faces of father and son changed again and again.

Zhang Dacheng was so distressed that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Liding grabs in front of Zhang Qiao and goes forward to speak for her father, "ah ye, you are eccentric. The third uncle came to steal things. He succeeded once and hurt my father. He came here for the second time. If the official didn't catch him, who would he catch?

If he doesn't steal, can the official catch him? My father was reading about his brotherhood and helped him hide it for the first time, but he was not satisfied and came back. This is... "

Pop!

Old man Zhang slapped him and hit Zhang Liding in the face.

"Son of a bitch, what's your share? What do you mean to steal things from your family? Those precious jewelry are worth a big house in the county. Can they be your mother's? If your mother has such valuable jewelry, why has she been a butcher for so many years?

In my opinion, that big bag of jewelry is clearly unknown. It must have been stolen by your mother. She has been hiding it all the time and dare not come out.

The person the government wants to arrest should be Liu Cuihua, not my third son. Your family has a good relationship with Mrs. Liu, so the officials are also looking forward to you.

I don't agree! After the first month, I'll go to a bigger official than Mr. Liu, and I'll sue you. You bully people, you... "

"Shut up, old man!" Zhang Qiao couldn't bear it. She opened Zhang Liding and stared at old man Zhang with a tiger's face. "You don't respect old people, you don't know black and white. Zhang Laosan is spoiled by your two elders. Do you blame us? Why don't you go to your ancestors and apologize? "
