Chapter 540: Sympathy for the Li family's doll
Zhulan and Boss Zhou went out and looked carefully at the account book. The Li family was indeed trustworthy. Every bank was recorded very clearly. The two thick books were full of records, because the magistrate of Dong County was the Zhou family's in-laws, and Zhou Shuren was the prefect of Jinzhou, and no one in the two villages had ever made trouble.
This year, God did not make things difficult for farmers in my hometown in Northeast China. The grain of Zhulan’s two farms cannot be considered a bumper harvest, and the harvest is also quite good. In addition to the taxes distributed to the Li family, there are also the grain and expenses transported there, and the silver sold for 800 taels of grain.
Because a lot of food is left to transport it, otherwise the income will be more.
Although the amount of money was not the most, Zhulan felt much more at ease, at least the money for the New Year gift was released.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back early in the morning and the in-laws came. The Zhou family and the whole family were going to have dinner together to welcome the crowd.
Zhou Shuren came back and changed into easy-going clothes to meet Li Cong. At first, his in-laws were very nervous and restrained. Zhou Shuren was an old fox and quickly set the pace. His in-laws also let go. When the food was served, his in-laws could already joke with Zhou Shuren.
Li sat next to her mother-in-law, but her eyes kept paying attention to her father. When she heard her father laughing, she also grinned. Since she beat her father into the yard and saw her, she was nervous. She felt uncomfortable and worried about her father. Now she was relieved.
Zhulan picked up a dish with chopsticks for Li, "I haven't moved my chopsticks for a long time. This is your favorite braised pork, eat more."
Li looked at the braised pork in the bowl and felt very moved. It was still her mother-in-law who was thinking about her the most, "Thank you, mom."
Li stopped thinking about his father, and his tone became relaxed after being free, "Mom, my mother said that if the family was not really inseparable from others, she would have come with her."
After saying that, Li was still a little sad. His mother's life was getting better, his family business was getting bigger, and his family was even more inseparable from his elders. His mother wanted to stay at home.
Zhulan knew that it would be difficult to see Li's mother in the future. The Li family has risen, and Li Xu has to check even more. Who made the Li family men silly? "When Minghui becomes older next year, you can go back and have a look with the boss."
Li's depression was gone. She said that she hadn't been home for several years. Although she would introduce her every time she wrote to her, she still wanted to see it herself. She was still a little proud in her heart. She fantasized about the treatment she would go back to her parents' home next time and grinned.
Bamboo orchid, “…….”
I was out of sight, Li wanted to go back and show off!
Zhao was envious of her parents' home to return. When she thought of her mother, Zhao felt very upset. Compared to the family letters she sent by her sister-in-law and her third brother and sister a month, she received two letters when she came to Tianjin. One was written to her after she had a difficult childbirth, and the other was asked by her brother to collectors of the Zhou family.
Dong touched her stomach, but she didn't envy her. After the child was born, her husband said that he would go back to prepare for the provincial examination in advance and stay with her at her parents' home for a while.
Su Xuan was envious in her eyes. She had parents, and she didn't even go back to her parents' home.
The table of Zhulan women ended first, and the men were still drinking at the same table. The Li family had a good alcohol tolerance, and Zhou Shuren was rarely happy and drank a lot.
At night, Zhulan coaxed her son to sleep, and Zhou Shuren came back drunk. Zhulan took the washed handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Shuren, "I'm so happy today?"
Zhou Shuren took the veil and wiped his face, smiling, "Well, I'm happy today. I haven't chatted so easily for a long time, and I feel relieved."
Zhulan felt sad. Zhou Shuren had to read everything he said outside in his mind and heart. He had to be the head of the family at home, so he chatted with people like the Li family who were simple-minded. Zhou Shuren didn't have to hide it.
Zhou Shuren took off his clothes and got into the bed, "The next day, my in-laws will be back. You can prepare more gifts for the year. My in-laws' grandson will send them to study and read, and prepare some writing."
After saying that, Zhou Shuren paused, "Prepare some paper."
Zhulan couldn't help laughing. The Li family had no talent in writing and really needed paper.
Zhou Shuren was also happy. Today, he heard that Li Gui had learned the words and asked Chang Lian to take the pen and ink to give some advice. As a result, after reading it, he was silent for a long time. The boss held it in for a long time and said with great emotion, "It's indeed the Li family."
He couldn't help laughing at that time, the boss thought of the eldest daughter-in-law's word.
The next day, only when the Zhou family came to their family, the whole family would have dinner together. After the family had breakfast, Zhulan asked the eldest and the couple to take their in-laws around the city, so they would not think about it outside the city.
As long as Zhou Shuren's investigation is not over, the Zhou family will still be in crisis. If you can go out this time, you must bring a servant with good martial arts skills.
Li Cong sat in the carriage with his son in a daze, opened his mouth wide and said to his son-in-law: "Don't you just go around the street? Is it necessary to have so many people?"
Boss Zhou didn't want to scare his father-in-law, and said with a smile: "Dad, we usually do this, just get used to it."
As he said that, he pinched his wrist.
Li stared at her and said, "Why did she pinch her?" She wasn't stupid. When she pinched her like this, she seemed to be not having a brain. She angrily twisted the back of the boss.
Boss Zhou hissed, he was fat, his skin was much whiter, and he was moving towards the direction of steamed buns. It hurts so much when his wife pinched her like this.
Fortunately, Li Cong didn't pay attention and kept muttering, "My good dear, daughter, you are really blessed. No wonder your grandmother said you were the most blessed when she was alive."
Li smiled, and she also felt that she was the most blessed daughter of the Li family!
Zhulan has already asked Butler Ding to buy New Year’s goods, and it just so happened that the Li family would take the New Year’s gift back on the way.
The orders for the New Year gifts are kept, just buy them according to the order. However, this year, seafood has been added to Zhulan. Now it is winter. Frozen prawns, sea fish, and sea dishes can be stored. Zhulan’s favorite food is sea bass and swordfish.
These are rare things. Su Xuan has a fishing boat and bamboo orchids are directly ordered from Su Xuan.
At noon, the eldest couple took the Li family to have dinner outside the restaurant and came back in the evening.
Except for the fourth son of the Zhou family, the other three were not from high origins. The Li family’s farmers’ in-laws arrived, and everyone in Jinzhou knew that the Zhou family’s attitude towards their relatives was very good. They had to admit that the Zhou family’s character was really good, and they did not forget their poor relatives, and treated them with courtesy.
The Li family hasn't left yet, and the grandsons and granddaughters of the Zhou family's grandchildren have had a better market. They are just waiting for the Zhou family to open a house for social engagements.
My in-laws were in a hurry to go home, and Zhulan prepared the New Year gifts for dressing up, and Zhou Shuren also specially asked for leave to give it to someone.
The eldest brother and the eldest brother also prepared a lot of things, the second brother and the second brother also prepared some for use, and Chang Lian and the other brother did not give anything outstanding.
It was Changzhi and his wife's turn. Changzhi took out a bag and handed it to Li Gui, "This is a copybook I copied. You will definitely make progress if you copy it a hundred times. All of these are given to you. If you don't have enough to write a letter, I'll send it to you. I don't have many other posts. I have copied the most, so hold it."
Su Xuan's expression was stiff. The bag was clearly hidden, and she had the urge to cover her face. How did Changzhi find it? And where did the gift she prepared go?
Li Gui stared at the bag straight and took it over and pressed his hands. At least ten books, a hundred times will kill people!
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, “……”
The two looked at each other, but fortunately, the Li family was really a member, so they wanted to beat Changzhi if they were changed.
Li closed her mouth several times. It was not that she didn't want to help her nephew, but she really couldn't afford to offend her!
Boss Zhou looked at his stupid father-in-law and sympathized with the children of the Li family who didn’t like to study!
The two brothers Zhou Laoer and Chang Lian took a step back, but they also pulled their wife back.
Chapter completed!
