Chapter 166 Betting

Zhulan has never seen so many relatives worshiping birthdays in modern times. Modern grandpas celebrate their birthdays, and there are not many blood relatives. Instead, they are all partners of interests at the birthday banquet. Sincerely, there are few people who can't liven up the excitement. They are all relatives, and Yangsun's family is from this village, so there are more relatives in this village. The house is very lively, and the voice is so low that you can't hear anything.

Zhulan came in and chatted for a while, the birthday mat was ready outside, everyone went to the main hall, outsiders were all outside, because the hall was too small, the Guangyang family couldn't stand up.

The birthday greetings began, the old man and the old lady sat down, the elder Yang and Yang Zhumu first knelt down to give the birthday gifts, the two sons of the Yang family have family backgrounds, although they are not as rich as the Zhulan family, but they are not thin, they are made of wolf fur prepared by the big house A cushion, and a pair of silver bracelets, a precious birthday present.

Then Yang Zhulin of the second room brought his daughter-in-law to celebrate his birthday. He embroidered a screen for the table and a cigarette pole. The second sister-in-law of Zhulan embroidered it well.

Finally, there are the little girls Zhulan and Zhou Shuren. Zhulan has prepared six birthday gifts, a set of precious gold jewelry, a cloak, and her eyes flashing to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Sun didn't look at the gold jewellery, but touched the clothes and didn't let go. Her own daughter knew that she didn't want to do needlework. Although the embroidery was simple and not particularly good, every stitch and thread was a daughter's filial piety, "Okay, okay."

Mr. Yang was also very happy, finally able to wear the decent clothes made by his daughter, which he had never expected before.

Bamboo orchid was embroidered with sincerity, one stitch at a time, and the clothes were made with sincerity. Seeing that the two elders liked it, they smiled and said, "My parents like it. I will make more clothes for my parents in the future."

Mrs. Yang Sun saw the needles in her daughter's hand just now when she was picking up the clothes, she said distressedly: "Mother can't bear it, get up quickly."

Sun was really happy to see her son-in-law. She never thought that his son-in-law could become a scholar, but it gave him a good face. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him!

Then came the birthday greetings of the grandchildren, and Wu Chun was the one with the most solid foundation in the grandchildren, but in order to take care of the other brothers, they didn't give too expensive gifts, and all the gifts from the grandchildren were for food.

Zhulan's grandson and granddaughter are here, and the gifts are basically the same. Although Zhulan didn't tell you not to say more birthday greetings, the children know it well. The grandchildren of the Yang family are not as good at studying as the Zhou family. Whether the cousins ​​came to Taiwan or not, they all said birthday greetings in a regular manner.

Then there is the great-grandson, and there are quite a few great-grandsons, and there are babies of all sizes who are so childish, which makes Mrs. Sun very happy.

The birthday celebrations of the direct blood line are over, and they are relatives and juniors. There are quite a lot of children. Zhulan watched that the basket of red envelopes prepared by her mother was almost finished.

Zhulan also got a red envelope, which turned out to be pieces of silver, about one or two taels. The red envelopes of the grandchildren were all 100 coins, and the red envelopes of the great-grandchildren were fifty. Zhulan's family alone got a lot of silver.

Today, there are too many gifts received and a lot of money scattered.

The ten dishes for the birthday ceremony were perfect, Zhulan and his wife sat with their parents, and Zhulan didn't bother to eat, all because Zhou Shuren became famous as a scholar, and then Zhulan remembered many relatives with the surname Sun.

At the end of the birthday banquet, the leftovers from each table were taken home by the women of each table, and the guests were sent away. The old couple were exhausted after a busy day and couldn't bear to rest.

There were a few extra tables for the birthday banquet, and there were still two untouched dishes left. The sister-in-law gave Zhulan a elbow, a small pot of chicken, and a pot of pig's trotters. .

When Zhulan's family arrived home, everyone in the village had already cooked dinner, and the patriarch and his wife stayed after dinner before returning home.

After the birthday banquet, the Zhou family became famous because of their wealth. Even if there were bamboo orchids released, if they were not shown to Chang Lian, they still couldn’t stop those who came to say goodbye. Even the Zhou Wang family came to test Passing Zhulan, Zhulan insisted not to see each other, so no one came to the door again.

In June, the vegetable seedlings that Mrs. Li planted in the house can be moved to the vegetable garden, and the bamboo orchids are idle.

Helping the two daughters-in-law grow vegetables, not to mention being simple and knowledgeable, when the own family's planting is over, the bamboo orchid will help the eldest daughter's family grow vegetables.

Because Xuemei and his wife just moved here and didn't get vegetable seedlings, they just sowed the seeds directly, the germination rate will not be too high, and they have to wait for the seedlings to replenish the seeds, and the vegetables they eat will come later than the vegetable seedlings grown in advance, but the benefits It is a longer time to eat.

The vegetables that Zhulan helped her daughter grow were too fresh.

In modern times, she is so busy that it is rare to be free. She has been stretching herself in order to adapt to ancient times, and then followed Zhou Shuren to Pingzhou. She was always busy, suddenly bored, and didn't know what to do for a while.

As for learning characters, she has almost read and can read written ones. She has also learned a lot of classical Chinese in high school textbooks, and Zhou Shuren taught a lot. She has also read some books and understands the meaning. These are enough to crush Ming Teng and become a learned grandma, so she doesn't want to learn too deeply.

After the beginning of summer, the children in the family can no longer be kept at home. They can only be seen at the eating place. The yard is quiet, and the bamboo orchid has nothing to do.

After Zhou Shuren heard the sigh for the nth time, he put down the book in his hand, "No fun?"

Zhulan lay dead, "Well, I don't like gossip, and I don't think of anything interesting to do right now."

Zhou Shuren is exactly the opposite of Zhulan. He especially likes the leisurely state, and feels that his husband has neglected his duty. After thinking about it for a while, his eyes light up, "Can you fish? Let's go fishing by the river?"

Zhulan sat up, "I know how to fish, my grandpa taught me by hand!"

Zhou Shuren secretly thought it was a pity, and he also wanted to hold hands, regretfully said: "Then let's go fishing, and I will get two fishing rods."

Zhulan pretended not to understand the meaning of the sigh, and urged, "Go quickly."

When it comes to fish, she is really greedy. Although the current fish are not as fat as in autumn, the rare thing is that they are all pure wild, and the taste is really good.

Zhulan changed into dirty clothes, and Zhou Shuren had already fixed two fishing rods.

Zhou Shuren hurried away with Zhulan, thinking that fortunately his grandson went out to play, otherwise the world of the two would be gone.

In the yard, the eldest brother Zhou and the second eldest Zhou looked at each other, thinking silently, Dad is such a spoiled mother!

The two of Zhulan went to the river, where there were only a few children playing. The two of them found a place farther away, and Zhou Shuren, an earthworm fishing, was in charge.

Zhou Shuren waited for Zhulan to throw down the fishing rod and said, "It's boring to do fishing like this, how about a comparison?"

Zhu Lan snorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? You know you're a master just by looking at your proficiency, so I won't play a game that I know I'll lose."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Fishing is also based on luck, and sometimes no matter how good a person is, he can't compare with a lucky person."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren silently, "Then tell me, I rescued you and came with you in ancient times. Is it good luck or bad luck?"

Zhou Shuren, "..."

This question is not easy to answer, no matter how you answer it, it is a pit!

Zhulan's fishing rod moved, and her eyes widened without waiting for Zhou Shuren to reply. She picked up the fishing rod and walked the fish slowly. After a while, she saw the body of the fish. Lan smiled openly, "At least two catties."

When the carp was picked up, Zhulan looked at the size and smiled, "Let's compare, if you lose, go back to bed by yourself."

She has been thinking about this for a long time. In winter, Zhou Shuren is a stove, and a quilt is really comfortable, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Zhulan can't stand it. Zhou Shuren is full of blood, and she sweats so hot that she honestly kicks the quilt !

When Zhou Shuren heard how it would work, he hugged the bamboo orchid in winter to be cold, and held it in summer to cool off, so he didn't want to be in bed by himself!
