Chapter 1159 Going to Xiushui Village Again
Every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the two couples, Liu Daliu and Liu Er, have to go back to their natal homes as a routine, and there is no excuse.
Especially Liu Da and Chen Xiulan. If they don't go back, they will be criticized.
The relatives over there said that they were fine, and would blame their daughter for the reason.
If you are capable, you will look down on your poor relatives.
Once in power, the eyes are higher than the top.
It's embarrassing to dislike your mother's family.
The summary is three words - look down upon.
So even though the couple didn't like their relatives over there that much, they still had to go there every year as usual.
But even so, there was no way to completely stop those gossips.
Some people should say it behind their backs, but the most fundamental reason is that when they went back to Xiushui Village to visit relatives in recent years, there were only Liu Da and Chen Xiulan, but Liu Zhixia and Liu Yusheng never went there again.
Even if the two got married, they didn't take the bride and uncle to have a look over there.
The two elders of the Chen family were quite critical of this. It's just that the relationship between them and their daughter and son-in-law has already cracked, and the two of them knew the reason, so they suppressed their dissatisfaction so that the relationship between the two parties would not become more rigid.
In order to be able to spend more time with Croton and Hongdou, the couple postponed the time to visit relatives this year until the afternoon.
Anyway, there is a carriage at home now, but it is difficult to travel in the snow, and it only takes more than an hour to ride there in the carriage, so I can catch up with time.
At that time, I will have dinner and stay there for one night, and I will be able to come back when I wake up the next day, and I don't need to stay there for a long time.
When the couple were preparing the presents to bring, Fu Yuzheng approached Liu Yusheng quietly, "I went to the vegetable garden this morning to pick vegetables, and I heard my parents sigh. I guess the relatives over there had some disagreements. Why don't we go back with parents this year?"
Liu Yusheng was stunned for a moment, if she hadn't heard from her sister-in-law, she really didn't know that her parents were worrying behind her back.
Parents knew that she and her elder brother didn't like it there, so they didn't ask them to go there together these years, and kept them at home. The old couple went there by themselves.
She was actually a little used to it, ignoring her parents' embarrassment for a while.
Not to mention the grandparents and the two elders in the family over there, her uncle's mouth is very powerful, and people like to make moths.
Before, my aunt brought two nieces to the Liu family compound, and her uncle's contribution was indispensable.
In the past few years, parents must have heard gossip when they went back, right?
It's just that after father and mother came back, they never showed it in front of them, they always smiled, and it seemed that nothing happened.
She thought everything was fine.
Thinking of this, Liu Yusheng felt guilty for a while.
As a real daughter, she is not as careful with her parents as her sister-in-law.
"I'll go talk to Feng Qingbai, take Croton and Red Dou with me."
Fu Yuzheng nodded, "I'll go and tell your elder brother too, our whole family will go there together. After this time, if we don't go in the future, others won't be able to gossip."
Liu Yusheng knew what she meant.
It is a fact that Feng Qingbai has a different status from his elder brother. One is the prince of the current dynasty, and the other is a promising Beijing official. With official authority, it is impossible to be kind and easy-going to everyone.
The Chen family is not the Liu family. They went together as a family, which was already honoring the Chen family.
Liu Da and Chen Xiulan were surprised to hear that their son and daughter were going to Xiushui Village with them.
After being surprised, he didn't say much, but there was relief in his eyes, the relief of being filial to his children.
They all know in their hearts that their children will go with them, not because they have changed their minds, but because they don't want their parents to continue to embarrass them.
It's just that their intentions are enough for the couple to be happy, and the pressure on going back there has also quietly eased in this kind of relief.
The young couple were going to visit relatives, and they had to take Croton and Red Dou with them. Although the Empress Dowager was worried, she didn't stop her.
It is a basic relationship between relatives during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and she can understand it. Even when she was a queen, she would send a gift back to her mother's house every New Year's Eve, at least to save face and not be criticized by others.
Nanling regards filial piety as the sky, and filial piety can never be wrong at any time.
Starting with Liu Zhixia and Liu Yusheng, Liu Zhiqiu discussed with Liu Muqiu, and the two decided to go back to their natal home with their parents.
But on their side, Du Juan's mother's house is closer, so they can go for a walk for dinner, and even have time to drive the carriage back that day.
Liu Zhiqiu and Liu Muqiu can still rush back to accompany grandma.
In addition, Xue Qinglian and Qianyi were still at home, so the old man and the old lady couldn't be alone.
The two carriages drove away from the Liu family compound, one behind the other.
The wheels of the wheel pressed against the snow, making a constant creaking sound. The little doll sitting on the car thought it was funny, and sometimes clapped and giggled.
The carriage was very fast, and it entered the border of Xiushui Village in more than an hour.
Lifting up the curtain of the car to see the scene outside, there is snow everywhere, a vast expanse of whiteness, but you can tell which is the field and which is the vegetable garden.
It doesn't look much different from when I came here before, the field is still in the same position, and the size of the vegetable garden has not changed. It's just that Liu Yusheng still feels strange, she hasn't been here for many years.
Liu Zhixia's feelings are not much less than Liu Yusheng's. Compared with Liu Yusheng, he spends less time here.
Because I had to study in the past, I spent most of my time in the academy, and I seldom went home, let alone visiting relatives here.
Feng Qingbai and Fu Yuzheng are completely unfamiliar with this, and they are both here for the first time.
The carriage rolled into Xiushui Village, and when they met villagers at the entrance of the village, someone immediately greeted Liu Da and Chen Xiulan.
"Dalin, Xiulan, come back to visit relatives?"
Chen Xiulan lifted the curtain of the car slightly, nodded with the people outside, and smiled, "Yes, it's New Year's Eve, come back and visit your parents."
"Then go back quickly, your parents have been waiting for you at home for a long time, and they kept talking about why they didn't come."
"I'll be there in a while, uncle and aunt will come to eat at home later."
After a few words, Chen Xiulan put down the curtain of the car.
And at the moment when the curtain of the car fell, someone with sharp eyes saw more than two people in the car.
After being stunned for a moment, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh my god, there are several people in the car, the young ones, could it be their daughter and Zhixia?"
"I also saw that there are still people. The second day of the new year is when I go back to my natal family to visit relatives. It is impossible for anyone except Xiulan's family to come... Oh, hello! It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"If it's really their daughter-in-law and Zhixia, they will be able to brag to Brother Chen and Sister-in-law Chen for a long time!"
"What are you bragging about? It's better to be proud. Before, everyone talked about their family's daughter-in-law looking down on poor relatives. Now that they are here, isn't the Chen family just proud?"
There was a lot of chatter, and the people who saw the scene just now were excited and excited. After looking at each other, they all turned their heels and walked into the village.
What will happen in Xiushui Village? Wait for Chengzi to take a nap and write slowly, hahaha.
