Ma Li introduced her family team, Dad Li and Aunt Li’s wife, Li Er’s mother-in-law, greeted Grandma Zhou. They all called Grandma Zhou “in-law mother”, and the younger generations of the Li family called Grandma Zhou “Mr. "My mother-in-law".

After getting to know each other with Li Chunxiu’s family, Grandma Zhou asked the guests to sit down. She went back to the kitchen to take the pig food off the stove, wash the rice and cook it, and then ran to the door to look around.

After looking around for a while, he saw that the people walking from the road behind the village seemed to be his son and daughter-in-law, and he trotted towards them in the cold wind.

Brother Zhou and Ms. Li were walking at a normal speed. When they saw their old mother running towards them, they quickly quickened their pace.

The three met soon.

Brother Zhou hurriedly asked: "Mom, what makes you so anxious?"

Grandma Zhou took a breath and looked at her daughter-in-law: "Chunxiu, Your mother-in-law and her family are here to see you. Your mother-in-law, your two aunts, and your brothers are waiting at home. Go back quickly."

Ms. Li was shocked: " I... Mom... they are here?!"

She wrote a letter back, but never received a reply. She thought her family had moved, and the letter did not fall into the hands of her family, or their family complained. She never returned to her parents' home after she got married, and she didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"Yes, I have been looking forward to you for a while since I got home. Come home quickly." Grandma Zhou urged again.

Brother Zhou also urged and quickened his pace.

Ms. Li also trotted and returned to the door of the house. She was still in a trance. She was led by Zhou Xialong and her mother-in-law into the house and walked to the entrance of the upper hall. She heard a familiar voice coming from the lower room. The sound of voices suddenly brought him back to his senses.

She almost ran across the patio and ran to the door of the lower hall. When she saw the man and woman sitting in the room, she shouted, "Mom, Dad, Mom and Dad!" and started crying. got up.

When Li Ma and others heard the footsteps, they also guessed that it might be their mother-in-law and Zhou Xialong who had returned. They looked at the patio, saw Li Chunxiu, and stood up together.

　“Chunxiu/Xiu.”

　“Yamei.”

　“Xiuxiu.”

　Li Mother, Aunt Li, Second Aunt Li, shouted, and her eyes turned red.

The eyes of the Li brothers and cousins ​​also changed.

Hearing the calls of her family, Ms. Li rushed over, threw herself into the arms of her aunt who loved her most, and burst into tears.

Aunt Li was also in tears, and her niece cried and coaxed: "Xiu, it's okay, it's okay, it's all over.Ah, it’s all over..."

Mrs. Li also cried while persuading her.

Mother Li cried first, then grabbed her daughter and poked her with her finger. He walked over and poked, beat and cried: "You damn girl, you are quite capable! You got married as soon as you got married, and you lived your life like that, and you were trampled into the ground without even saying a word to your parents' family. Is your mouth sewn up?

Growing up, your mother, I, you, your aunts, and your brothers didn’t want to touch you. You were so arrogant at home, but when you got married, you were as cowardly as a pig in the Zhang family. Yes, you have worked as a cow and horse for more than ten years and you are still being kicked out. You have no future! Do you still feel aggrieved? You're crying..."

"His third aunt, just scold him a few times. Don't go too far. Chunxiu has suffered so much and she knows she is wrong. Isn't this enough? If you realize your mistake, you should correct it..."

The sister-in-law was scolding her niece. Li's aunt and Li's aunt initially let her scold her, but seeing that she had no intention of stopping, they hurriedly protected their niece.

Father Li did not curse or persuade.

A group of brothers neither persuaded nor coaxed the younger sister. They first asked the mother/third aunt/third aunt to scold the younger sister to calm down her anger.< br />
Ma Li only hit her a few times before she was stopped by her two sisters-in-law. She sat down and cried. The child was the flesh that fell from her mother’s body. How could she not feel pain?

Mrs. Li let go of her niece and signaled her niece to say a few soft words to her parents.

Ms. Li turned around and hugged her father. She didn’t say anything, she just cried.

Father Li had a fierce face at first, but he surrendered in less than three minutes and coaxed his old daughter.

Ms. Li hugged her mother and cried again, and was pushed a few times. When she refused to leave, the girl cried, and Li Ma's anger subsided and her face softened.

When several brothers saw this, they immediately went to comfort their sister.

Brother After coaxing their sister, they sat down and asked Li Chunxiu to talk about life in the Zhang family in detail. For a moment, everyone in the Li family had mixed feelings.

They spoke in the local dialect of Long Province, and others could not hear it. Understand.

Brother Zhou and Grandma Zhou also arrived at the patio when Li Chunxiu ran to the house. When they heard them speaking in dialect, the mother and son did not follow them and let Li Chunxiu talk to his family first.

Brother Zhou pushed his motorcycle out of the house and went to the street to buy vegetables. Li Chunxiu’s family came, so they naturally had to prepare a few dishes. There was no time to kill the chickens and ducks at noon, and even if there was time, they would not be able to catch the chickens. Duck.

That day was the New Year, and there were vendors selling meat, fish, chicken, and duck on the street.

Brother Zhou went there a little late, and the pork front leg and tenderloin were both There was nothing left, only ham and pork belly. He bought pork ham and pork belly, and bought ten more.fish.

After buying the meat, I went to Grandma Cao’s house and took Grandma Cao and Cao Qingyue and Cao Bingyue to Zhou’s house.

When her son went to the street, Grandma Zhou set up two tables in the upper hall, lit a brazier, and went to the garden to pick two handfuls of vegetables.

Granny Cao was very excited when she heard that Li Chunxiu’s family was here. When she arrived at the door of Zhou’s house, she didn’t rush forward and took her granddaughter to wait for Zhou Xialong.

Brother Zhou locked the car and carried his things into the house. He heard the voices of Li Chunxiu and her family talking from the lower room. There was no crying, so they must have calmed down.

He put the things at the door of the kitchen first and wanted to send Granny Cao and her two stepdaughters to the lower hall. When he saw his mother lighting a brazier in the upper hall, he called Li Chunxiu: "Chunxiu, I'll send Cao Cao to the lower hall." Mother-in-law and Qingyue Bingyue took it over. My mother has lit a brazier in the upper room. You can invite the child's grandparents and uncles to sit in the upper room so that Qingyue Bingyue can recognize her relatives."

After listening to Zhou Xialong’s words, Li Chunxiu finally recovered from the complicated mood of surprise and guilt when she first met her mother’s family, and hurriedly explained to her parents and aunt’s brothers that Granny Cao was her godmother.

When the four elders of the Li family heard that Granny Cao, who had saved their daughter and grandson, had arrived, they hurriedly took their children out of the lower hall and went to the upper hall of the Zhou family to meet Granny Cao.

The son picked up Granny Cao, and Grandma Zhou accompanied Granny Cao to meet Li Chunxiu’s family.

Cao Qingyue and Cao Bingyue were waiting beside the upper hall with their grandma and Grandma Zhou. Grandma Zhou said which one was grandma, which one was grandpa, which one was the eldest grandma, and immediately said "grandma, grandpa", "eldest grandma" and "second grandma" "Hello, uncle" he acknowledged all the way.

Hearing the word "Grandma", Mother Li and Uncle Li responded with choked sobs, rushed up to hold the two girls, one older and one younger, and started crying again.

Cao Qingyue’s impression of her grandmother, grandfather and uncles only came from her mother’s mouth. Because it was the first time they met, she was relatively calm.

Cao Bingyue was still young, and she cried when she saw her mother crying.

When the uncles of the Li family saw their nephew, they were excited and sad, and they tried to comfort their elders with persuasion and coaxing.

The three older women of the Li family finally managed to hold back their tears and met Granny Cao again. They took Granny Cao’s hand and thanked her profusely, shedding tears while saying thank you.

Granny Cao also cried with her and persuaded Li Chunxiu’s family for a while. They all sat down in the main room and talked slowly.

After his mother’s family sat down, Brother Zhou went to see his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncles.

Father Li, Mother Li, the eldest aunt and uncle of the Li family, and several brothers had a very good first impression of Zhou Xialong and Grandma Zhou.There is no airs about elders and uncles.

Brother Zhou recognized his marriage and asked Granny Cao and my mother to accompany Li Chunxiu’s family. He took the meat and fish he had just bought back to the kitchen and started making lunch.

Everyone in the Li family calmed down and took out red envelopes to give to their grandsons/nephews. One red envelope was given to each person as a meeting gift. Not only the Cao sisters, but also Zhou Tianming also had a share.

Zhou Tianming’s share was collected by Grandma Zhou.

Brother Zhou worked for more than an hour, making braised pork, boiled pork slices, braised fish, and then cut the braised pork that was made a few days ago, and used the ribs hot pot soup as a base for lunch. hot pot.

Zhou Xialong is pragmatic, Li’s father, Li’s mother, Li’s aunt and uncle’s wife are very satisfied with their cheap son-in-law/niece-in-law, and they can’t find any faults when looking horizontally or vertically.

Le Xiao’s classmate didn’t know how to spy on the whole village. At first, she didn’t know that Ms. Li’s family was coming. When she and Grandma Zhang San were doing housework, she heard what was going on at Grandma Zhou’s house, and she paid a little attention. Knowing that it was Ms. Li's mother-in-law's family who came to visit her relatives, she was a little surprised.

Little Loli pretended not to know for the time being and stayed at Zhang’s house for a long time before wandering home.

Leshan attended class for a long time in the morning. After class, he clung to his sister. After dinner, he became her sister's little pendant.

Classmate Le carried her clingy brother up to the second floor. The handsome guys were still busy collecting information. She drew drawings and let her brother move freely.

Yi Laoyan also went up to the second floor to drink tea and play chess, which was very leisurely.

Li Zhao put a brazier on the second floor and played a building block game with his junior brother. They talked in a foreign language throughout the whole process. He played the game and practiced his language expression skills.

The Zhou family didn’t have time to make ten bowls of dishes at noon, but the lunch was still enjoyed by both the host and the guests.

After cleaning up the housework and sitting with Li Chunxiu’s mother-in-law’s family for a while, Brother Zhou visited the Le family and told his sister-in-law about the visit of Li Chunxiu’s mother-in-law’s family.

What he meant was to tell Uncle Man and Eighth Uncle in advance and make an appointment for everyone to have a meal at his house at noon tomorrow.

That day is the New Year’s Day, and basically every family celebrates the New Year at their own homes. Guests from the Le family will not go to other people’s homes for dinner, so the Le family members naturally have to celebrate the festival at home.

"Brother, I understand. Brother Leshan and I will take Leshan there tomorrow. Lele's deskmate will get married tomorrow. She will go to Han City tomorrow morning, but Lele will not go." Zhou Qiufeng heard that My sister-in-law’s mother-in-law’s family were quite surprised when they came, and they didn’t refuse.

"Lele will not be at home tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." Brother Zhou knew that Lele would not be at home tomorrow, so he hesitated and decided to set another date.

"No need to change, Lele will attend a performance the day after tomorrow.For the wedding banquet, we will go to the capital after having our wedding banquet at noon tomorrow and not return to Jiudao. "

"Well, we can only wait until we have the opportunity to have dinner together in the future. "Brother Zhou also understands how busy Xiao Lele is. She has a wide network of contacts and is indispensable for socializing.

Knowing that Xiao Lele has no time to have dinner with her on New Year's Day, Brother Zhou sat at Lele's house for a short while. I went to Uncle Man’s house to talk to Uncle Eighth’s house, but also only stayed for a short while, and then hurried home to prepare dinner.
