Mama Qi said, "Let our mother stay here for a few days. When I come over for the new year, I'll go with our mother to our house. At the sixth day of the first month, we'll move to our sister-in-law's house. What if our sister-in-law blocks our mother's way to the door?"

Aunt said, "I was thinking of letting my mother stay at my house for a while."

Mother Qi said, "You still have to go to the city to help take care of the children, so forget it. Qi Yuan's father comes back once a week, and our mother is staying with me at my house."

The aunt nodded and said, "I heard that her father has been transferred to the county government?"

Mama Qi said, "Yes, I transferred over two days ago."

Aunt said, "No matter what, you have improved. It's not like you have wasted your years at home with four children."

There was a wall between the stove and the brick bed. It was about half a man's height and twenty centimeters wide, and when the aunt came, she had already burned some wood in the stove. The fire was flickering, and the brick bed was already hot to the touch.

Her aunt had already moved the bedding on the brick bed into the courtyard to dry it, leaving only the bare mat on the brick bed. She beckoned her cousin and Wu Yuzheng to carry some of the furniture in the house into the yard, tied a broom to a bamboo pole, and wore a mask to cover the entire room. She swept through the two big fights that her cousin and Wu Yuzheng had had in the house, washed the bedspread, and then wiped the sash off the windowsill and the fan.

Mama Qi whispered to her aunt, "Shall we clean up her uncle's room?"

Hearing this, her aunt looked extremely angry. "Just sweep the floor for him. There's no need to do anything else. I think this couple has gotten into the limelight."

The sun was also very good in numbers. When his aunt and mother had gotten some lunch and had some dry sheets on the clothesline in the courtyard, his aunt and mother had helped his grandmother to make the kang, and Wu Yuzheng and his cousin, who were on the old-fashioned writing desk in the room, had also helped to bring out the shadows. When they looked at the firewood in the small kitchen in the courtyard, his mother had already put away the several woven bags she had brought with her.

As soon as his aunt and mother were about to leave, they saw their aunt walking towards their maternal grandma's home from a distance with something in her hand.

Qi Yuan said to his mother, "Mom, look, the weasel is here!"

When his mother heard him say that, she glared at him. Seeing his sullen face, she said, "Why are you staring at him like that? I think that's quite true. "

Hearing his aunt's words, his mother burst out laughing. Then, changing her expression, she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is that what you call your elders? "

The aunt said, "It's much better than you. Look at you, after all these years, I haven't seen you say 'no' to her. Aren't you going to go along with her and not filial to our mother?"

"I just didn't expect our sister-in-law to be so fierce," his mother said.

Qi Yuan grinned and said, "I've also never seen such a valiant elder."

First aunt, carrying a small basin, greeted people on both sides of the street and walked over to her grandma's neighbor's house. She heard her say to one of the neighbors, "My dad split some fish during the new year. I sent some over for my grandma to have a taste. This fish is fresh."

When they got closer, Qi Zhengyuan saw two little green fish in the basin. They had sharp heads and no meat on them, so he said: "Auntie, my uncle is so stingy. How can he split such small fish in the new year? How much will it take to make fish soup? "

When the neighbors heard this, they all burst out laughing. One of them laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, your fish is very fresh. I can't smell any fishy smell even at such a close distance."

First Aunt said, "Scram to the side. I think you have a problem with your nose."

Aunt looked at her spicy look and shook her head.

First Aunt said, "Aiyo, my two younger sisters are here. It just so happens that I'm here to deliver some fish to our mother."

Qi Yinfeng pulled his sister's sleeve and whispered, "What's going on today? The iron rooster is going to get its feathers plucked too. "

Qi Yuan turned his head and said in a low voice, "Just you wait, the weasel pays his respects to the chicken."

First aunt had short stature, a pancake face, and a somewhat fierce face. Guo Guo heard her voice and subconsciously pulled her cousin's hand and Wu Yuzheng's hand. She even moved closer to Wu Yuzheng's side.

Aunt said, "Sister-in-law, my mother and I will help our mother clean up."

First Aunt said, "Aiya, why don't you all go to our house and shout? Our army and army are all here. Call them over to help you guys."

Aunt said, "We have a lot of people and we don't have much work to do. Isn't this all done?"

First aunt said, "Your big brother has only been resting for the past two days. I was thinking of bringing a large army and a small army to help our mother clean up. He hasn't come yet, so you guys can do it now." "Didn't you hear the villagers say that once our mother came back, I would hurry over to take a look. Our mother is here, so you guys can rest assured."

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Aunt, you're so good. If only we knew this would happen, we would have sent Grandma back tomorrow afternoon. You blame us for this, otherwise you would have brought your two brothers to show your filial piety."

When her aunt heard this, she burst out into laughter.

Aunt said, "Don't worry, don't worry. What else do we have to worry about?"

It was already the 28th of the Moon. Everyone was busy with their work at home. Some of the faster people had already buried their ancestors and pasted them on the grave.

There were so many people standing in front of Grandma's door. Some neighbors came out to see her, but when they saw her coming, one of the neighbors said to the other, "Did you see that? The mother is here. She must have heard that Aunt came back with a lot of things."

Another neighbor said, "If there's nothing good, I can't do it early. If the female giant insect can't get a catty, he can take out 5 taels of silver, right?"

A few people standing nearby nodded their heads. They heard the words and could not help but bitterly smile. It seemed that this was another tough battle.

First aunt pulled the two sister-in-law into Grandma's room.

A stove was already lit up in Grandma's room, and the brick bed was also burning hot. Grandma was folding her clothes on the brick bed, and when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law pulling the two daughters into the house, she didn't show any expression on her calm face.

First Aunt came in and said, "Aiya, mom, I haven't seen you in such a long time. Oh, dad of the army sent you a few catties of fish and I chose two of the bigger ones to send to you. Look how nice it is for you to come here the moment you're back and go directly to my place; you don't need to pack up any of these things."

As he spoke, his eyes looked around the room. There were a few bags of charcoal in the corner, a small square table with some nutrition products such as milk powder and cereal on it, and a few bags of random food hanging outside the window.

Qi Zhengyuan looked at the greedy gaze and felt a sense of irritation. For something as small as this, why did he walk half a street with a small bowl containing two little green fishes? Was there really a need?

Qi Chang tugged at his mother's sleeve and whispered into her ear, "Mom, hurry up and ask her what she wants. Don't you think it's outrageous to dismiss her? Are you going to anger my grandma again during the new year?"

Mother Qi thought for a moment, then called out to the children who came in to play in the yard. Qi Yuan did not move, but sat on his grandma's brick bed and helped his grandma fold her clothes.

Mama Qi glanced at her aunt, who nodded in understanding. She closed the door and said, "Sister-in-law, let's not beat around the bush. If you have any requests, just ask. "Of course, you have to call my big brother over. You still can't be the master of your family."

First Aunt said, "There's no need, there's no need. I just came to visit our mother. Seeing that our mother is white and fat in our little sister's house this winter makes me feel really comfortable."

Mama Qi said, "Sister-in-law, let's not beat around the bush here during the new year. Just tell us what you want. There's no point in walking around like this."

Hearing them say this, Grandma calmly said, "Old master, I don't have any money on me, so don't even think about digging from me. Your two sisters helped me prepare the stuff, and I won't be staying in your house for the new year. Take your fish and go back."

First Aunt said, "Aiya, Mother, how can you not stay at our house? Isn't this the same as letting the villagers poke us in the back? "When the new year arrives, I'll come with Dajun to pick you up. Just wait for us to properly pay our respects to you."

Seeing this, Mrs Qi took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and gave it to her aunt, "Eldest sister-in-law, take this money to buy some things for this little soldier. This is something my aunt wants."

Eldest Aunt took the money and said, "Aiya, his sister-in-law. How can he be so embarrassed?" She looked at her aunt, who was sitting beside her with a dark expression. She sighed and took out two hundred yuan as well, "If you promise not to get this money, you can take it with you."

First Aunt received the money with a smile, then took the small basin with her as she prepared to leave.

Grandma shouted, "Eldest Brother's wife, please hold on for a moment."

Aunt was holding the small basin in one hand and the door frame in the other. She turned around and asked, "Mother, do you have any other orders?"

Grandma said, "I just want to know why you came to my place. Does dad know about it?"

First Aunt smiled and said, "Aiya, Mother, I came to deliver something to you. Dad doesn't know, but I've already discussed it with him."

When her grandma heard her aunt's words, her expression immediately relaxed. She waved her hand and said weakly, "I understand. You can go now."

First aunt smirked proudly, twisting her butt and leaving the room.

His grandma immediately relaxed, closing her eyes as tears flowed down her cheeks. She hurriedly went over to wipe them away, while his aunt and his mother took off their shoes and helped her up on the brick bed.
