Twenty-three sugar melons are sticky, twenty-four sweep the house, and twenty-five grind tofu...... Every year at the end of the month, all families are very busy.

Because Mrs. Gu insisted on celebrating the New Year in Taifeng County, Shen Shaozhou and Gu Xian also stayed in Taifeng County to accompany her.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Shen Tao took his wife Wen and his official brother to Taifeng County.

Shen Shaozhou pulled Brother Guan to his side and asked about his schoolwork and performance in the school.

After he finished speaking, Shen Tao explained: "Dad, my younger brother and sister are pregnant, and now the weather is not good, he is afraid that his younger brother and sister will make a mistake, so he will not come." Dad, Ah Zhan is very guilty about this. ”

Shen Shaozhou didn't have a smile on his face, he said: "You don't need to cover it up for him, he can't wait to see me and come to Taifeng County." ”

Liao's father and Liao's mother are a little weak because they live with Shen Zhan, so they are cold to him on weekdays, and everything is according to him, so Shen Zhan gets along with them very well.

Shen Tao said: "Dad, you don't know Ah Zhan's temperament. ”

"It's because I know him too well that I know that he only resents and doesn't feel guilty." Shen Shaozhou said: "If you want me to live for two more years, don't let him live in front of me." ”

He admits that when he was young, he neglected the teaching of his two children because he was busy making money, but he tried his best to make up for it later. But no matter what he did, Shen Zhan was not satisfied, and he became cold after a long time. Now that Shen Zhan is doing well, Shen Shaozhou has let it go.

Shen Tao was a little embarrassed.

Old Madam Gu knew that they were very happy to come, so she took Wen's hand and said repeatedly: "Good boy, you have worked hard these days. ”

Gu Xian, who is a mother-in-law, piles up everything on her daughter-in-law. However, Wen is capable, and she handles the shop and family affairs very well.

Wen smiled and said, "Grandmother, I don't work hard, but it is my mother who has to take care of you." Grandmother, you can accompany us back to Pingzhou after the New Year! Let me and Ah Tao also do our filial piety. ”

Although she doesn't need Wen's filial piety, it sounds comfortable. Old Madam Gu patted her hand and said, "What a good boy, Ah Tao is right to marry you." ”

Wen was a little embarrassed to be praised.

Gu Xian said: "Mother, it's freezing Ah Tao this day, and they are also working hard to get away, you let them go down and take a hot bath to get rid of the cold." ”

"Go ahead!"

After the Wen family and the others went out, Old Madam Gu took Gu Xian's hand and said, "Your daughter-in-law is a smart person, as long as you treat her well, she will give you a good pension." ”

Gu Xian said indifferently: "Mother, Shen Tao can't count on her, I still count on her?" ”

Old Madam Gu scolded: "What do you know? How can this man take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard, if you want to live comfortably in your old age, you still have to see whether your daughter-in-law is good or not. Moreover, Wen is a smart person, if Shen Tao does something wrong, she will persuade her. This daughter-in-law is well chosen. ”

"Mother, did you say that Huo Pearl was good before?"

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "I said that Huo Pearl was good when she was there, when did I tell you in private that she was okay?" ”

Gu Xian thought about it and found that it was true.

Old Madam Gu said: "In the past, I was worried that you would not have a good time in your old age, but now I am not worried. ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me. Shen Tao and Shen Zhan will not support me in the future, and Qingshu and An An will be! Qingshu is estranged from me, but An An is still willing to be close to me. ”

Speaking of Qingshu, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but say: "The only bad thing about going back to Taifeng County is that you can't see Qingshu, An An and the children. ”

What she is most worried about now is Brother Fu and Sister Yuan.

Gu Xian said: "Mother, then next year we will stay in the capital until the end of autumn and come back." ”

Old Madam Gu nodded and said, "I will definitely stay for a while when I return to Beijing this time." When I come back from the capital, I may not go again. ”

Gu Xian frowned and said, "Mother, the three of us are too lonely when the child is not around." Moreover, the Tan family has been separated, and his parents are also supported by the eldest brother. When we get married, the baby is pregnant, and we will have to take care of it then!"

"Qingshu will take care of it."

Gu Xian shook her head and said, "Mother, Qingshu is so busy, how can she have time to serve An An in confinement and help her take care of the child." ”

Old Madam Gu was a little surprised and said, "Do you want to go to the capital to help An An take care of the children?" ”

Gu Xian nodded and said, "Yes, just help her take it for a while." When she gets started, she doesn't need my help, and then we will go back to Taifeng County. ”

The main thing is that the firstborn is in a hurry and doesn't understand anything, and he is in a hurry when there is a wind and grass, and if there is an experienced elder around him to guide him, it can not only be easy but also less tossed.

Old Madam Gu shook her head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to talk about this matter in the capital." Also, if An An doesn't want you to serve the confinement child, you can't go against her will. ”

"Mother, you are too obedient to her, if you don't do well this month, you will suffer for the rest of your life!"

Old Madam Gu said bluntly: "Do you also know that if you don't do a good job, you will suffer for the rest of your life?" You have done so many things that are out of tune, and you think that Qingshu and An An will believe you. ”

Gu Xian was silent.

Mrs. Gu said: "When Qingshu was confined, the Chang Mama who invited her would take care of the mother and the child, and maybe Qing Shui would invite her to take care of An An's confinement." ”

She really admires Mama Chang, she is really comprehensive when she takes care of Qingshu, and I have to say that the people cultivated by the British government are really amazing.

Gu Xian didn't expect that she would be disgusted again.

Mrs. Gu said: "Although Qingshu tossed a little when she was pregnant, it turned out that she did it really useful, and it took several hours for others to give birth at the earliest, but she came down in less than an hour. ”

Gu Xian hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, if An An doesn't want me to serve, I promise not to say a word." ”

Old Madam Gu nodded.

Shen Tao took a hot bath and changed his clothes before going out to find Shen Shaozhou, and the father and son chatted for a long time until dinner.

After dinner, Wen followed Shen Tao back to the house and asked, "What did you talk about with your father, and you talked for so long?" ”

Shen Tao sighed and said: "Fuzhou is becoming more and more chaotic now, and many traders no longer dare to go there to buy goods. Some of the former shopkeepers of our trading house were afraid that pirates would run into the city, so they wanted to come inland. They have no place to go, so they want to come to us. ”

Wen's heart tightened and asked, "Did Daddy agree?" ”

Seeing him nodding, Wen whispered: "Xianggong, our family is not rich, how can we afford to support so many people?" ”

Shen Tao said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, they all have families, we just need to find a place for them to stay." When Fuzhou is stable, they will go back. ”

Hearing this, Wen was relieved: "Then you have to ask how many people come, if you have a family, you have to find an independent small courtyard for them." ”

Shen Tao said with a smile: "Dad also ordered it like this." ”

The Wen clan discussed everything with him, unlike Huo Zhuzhu, who made his own decisions about everything. The same is true, the relationship between husband and wife is getting better and better.
