Chapter 233
Seeing his in-laws, Zhou Shuren turned pale, "My in-laws."
Li Cong came back to his senses and wanted to ask his in-laws, if they hired someone to look after the house, did they feel worried about the Li family? Also, he said to help take care of the house, but he failed to take care of the house and someone walked in. Would the in-laws be dissatisfied with the Li family? up.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked at each other. It was easy to guess what the Li family was thinking. The face of the in-laws changed and he hesitated to speak. You knew that the in-laws were thinking too much. Before they even spoke, the in-laws thought of all kinds of possibilities to scare themselves.
Zhou Shuren endured the corners of his mouth twitching, he couldn't say the Zheng family, he could only let the Yang family take the blame, "The Zheng family left more, we have fewer families, and my father-in-law was also afraid that he would not be able to suppress thieves and rascals, so he hired someone to watch, father-in-law I wanted to take this opportunity to scare the chickens and monkeys, but no one would dare to sneak into the door in the future. I didn’t tell my in-laws in advance, and I didn’t want to leak the news. When we move to Pingzhou in the future, we will have to rely on our in-laws to take care of us, so we can rest assured.”
Li Conghan smiled, the in-laws are not on guard against them, it's good that they don't blame their family, "Well, it's getting late, I'm going back too, I'm still waiting for news!"
The guards have spoken, and they won't let them go if they don't have in-laws. The four boys were beaten badly. There is no good place on their faces, and their arms are drooping. I don't know if it was interrupted or what happened. This is the in-laws. It's not easy to mess with, if it's someone else's house, they would have already made trouble with him.
Zhou Shuren stood up, "I'll send my in-laws out."
Li Cong quickly waved his hands, "No, no, stay."
As soon as he said that, he walked out of the door, even Mrs. Li ignored him, and drove the ox cart back.
The story of Lijia Village spread to the nearby villages the next day, and the killing was very thorough. Even if the guards didn't show up, no one dared to hang around the Zheng's house, for fear of being caught as a thief. It's a trivial matter, and it's really hard to find a way to cry in the prison. Who doesn't know that Zhou Xiucai and the county magistrate are in-laws.
Zhou Shuren's background was counted in detail again. Well, the future in-laws of the county magistrate, he is still a scholar, the son-in-law of the Yang family, and the Yang family has a deep relationship with the bodyguard bureau. Many of the bodyguard bureaus have seen blood. After counting, The Zhou family was not easy to be provoked or bullied, and those who had crooked thoughts completely stopped thinking about it.
Since no one dared to approach the house in Lijia Village, Zhulan's family moved slowly into the house, first moving food, then unworn clothes, etc., and these moved for two days, mainly because there was more food, etc. It was only after moving to Zhulan that she realized how many dried vegetables she had stored, how many pickles Li had pickled, and Li's pickled vegetables pulled a cartload.
When Zhulan's family officially moved, they didn't have many things in the house, so they borrowed two ox carts and went there.
Zhulan gave Xuemei the key of the house,
Xuemei and his wife have few things, so they moved here in advance yesterday, they just need to tidy up.
Today, I will go to the house in Lijia Village to stay overnight and help prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's banquet.
Xuemei and Jiang Sheng came to the house for the first time, and Li Shi didn’t even pack her own luggage, so she dragged Xuemei around. Don’t think Li Shi is not smart, but Li Shi didn’t miss the road. Finally, Zhulan concluded , A person with a pure mind has a clear mind, but will not be disturbed by external objects and will not get lost.
Zhulan tidied up the main house, originally to give it to her parents, but her parents didn't want to, so they finally tidied up the yard next to the main house.
The Yang family asked the neighbors to watch the house, and now the Yang family is here, and they will go back after the banquet tomorrow.
With the help of two sister-in-laws, Zhulan quickly packed up the things and classified them.
The boss Yang and the second brother Yang were not idle either, they drove the ox cart up the mountain to collect firewood, Zhou Shuren was embarrassed to make his uncle busy, so he followed.
The firewood in Zhulan’s house was left for the daughter before it was moved. They will not be in the same village in the future. The son-in-law and daughter do not have a bullock cart to collect and dismantle it. The house, but it can be burned until the spring of next year.
The house in Li’s Village had ready-made furniture, but Zhulan’s family hadn’t moved in, and there were some unused pots and jars. There were a lot of things left in the old house.
The meat and vegetables used in the next day were sent by Li's natal family, which was said to be a gift to celebrate the move. A fattened pig was slaughtered, and the vegetables were grown in Li's natal family's own yard.
Zhulan felt embarrassed, a pig was a lot of money, and the Li family was not rich, so she tapped Li's forehead, "Your elder brother sent it, and you dare to accept it?"
Li's forehead hurts a bit, and the mother-in-law tried her best, "Mom, my mother wants to thank you and father for your help. If I stop, I will definitely be beaten when I go back to my mother's house."
Her mother was not used to her, and she was often beaten when she was a child.
Zhulan knew that what Li said was the truth, but this gift was indeed not light, "I have the meat for tomorrow, so don't be idle, you are familiar with Lijia Village, buy all the chicken and fish for tomorrow Come back and kill the backup."
Twelve tables are prepared for tomorrow's banquet, two tables for the Zhou clan is enough, three tables for the Li family, two tables for the Yang family, and the remaining three tables are prepared by friends in Zhou Shuren County, and the extra two tables are prepared in case people overcrowd .
There is no need to borrow tables, chairs, plates, etc., what the Zheng family left is enough.
Mrs. Li is very familiar with Lijia Village, and soon bought enough hens, rabbits, fish and so on.
On the first day of moving, Zhou Shuren took his sons to gather firewood for the day, Zhulan and a few sister-in-laws washed the dishes, and Li's daughters-in-law cut up the meat. Even the children dared to do what they could, and everyone was busy. After a day, I had a hasty meal at night and then rested.
In the morning of the second day, Zhulan woke up still a little dazed, looked around the house, and then returned to her senses and moved.
Zhulan stretched out her hand to help Zhou Shuren rub her waist, "I want you to be brave, how long have you not worked?"
Zhou Shuren got down on the ground and motioned for Zhulan to help with the pressing, "The elder brother and the second elder brother are helping to collect firewood, the head of my family is too embarrassed to be idle."
Zhulan said: "Can you compare your physical strength with the eldest brother and the second brother? They practice martial arts all year round, collecting firewood is not considered a job, you can't compare, and you don't know how to do what you can."
Zhou Shuren shut up, yesterday was indeed a little brazen, he also had a brain twitch, seeing the disgust in his uncle's eyes, he wanted to prove to his uncle that he was strong, but he persisted until the end, suddenly laughed, he really Treating the Yang family as Zhulan's family, that's why I really want to prove myself!
Zhulan rubbed for a while, then patted Zhou Shuren's back, "I'm going to the kitchen first, you can lie down for a while."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to move anymore, feeling uncomfortable all over, "Yes."
While eating, Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren who was expressionless and sullen, this person also liked to pretend, he pretended to be okay even though he was suffering.
Boss Yang is wronged, father scolded him yesterday, he must have said that brother-in-law was exhausted, but seeing that brother-in-law is fine, he was scolded for nothing!
Zhou Lao Er was very observant, and he could tell at a glance that his father was showing off his power, so he silently lowered his head, not to let his father find out!
After dinner, Zhou Shuren couldn't take it any longer. He wanted to go back and lie down for a while. The guests arrived later, and he was busy. This time, he really screwed himself over.
Not long after Zhou Shuren got down on the ground, he heard the door open and saw Zhulan, "Why are you back?"
Zhulan shook the medicinal wine in her hand, "Let me rub the medicine that father gave you, so that you won't be too tired today and won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren is also a person who wants face, "You know everything?"
Zhulan didn't know whether Zhou Shuren had been the head of the family for a long time, or whether he was influenced by his thoughts in ancient times. This person is very face-saving, especially in front of the children, "Don't worry, Dad secretly gave it to me."
Zhou Shuren exhaled, as long as it didn't affect his face, "Quick, wipe it off for me, the guests will come in a while."
Zhulan knows how to massage and add medicinal wine, Zhou Shuren felt warm and comfortable, Zhulan put down his sleeves, "You lie down first, I'm going out first."
Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan up to support her and kissed Zhulan, "Thank you, wife."
It used to be in the old house, and the kiss was quite atmospheric, but now it is much brighter, and the bamboo orchid is still a bit inappropriate, snorting, and quickly closed the door and went out. It's time for Li Xu to come to the door, and she is going to greet her at the front.
The Li family came first, followed by relatives of the Zhou family, and finally friends from Zhou Shuren County.
Zhulan also recognized Zhou Shuren's friends in the county today, including the head of the yamen, the county's scholars, etc. The important guests are the county grandpa's family, Dong's family also has visitors, and some officials of the eighth and ninth grades in the county. They all came with the magistrate of the county, and of course some came uninvited, they were all curious about Zheng's house and wanted to explore it.
Zhou Shuren is not stupid, how could he let people go around, he didn't mention it, the county magistrate, as the future in-laws, still had a tacit understanding, and he also sat and drank tea, and those who were interested in looking at it didn't dare to mention it.
Zhulan's important guest is Dong Lin, and Xuehan has already taken Dong Chuchu to the backyard.
Zhulan is with Dong Linshi, and now I will leave it to Lishi to entertain the female guests. Lishi will not be used as the back cook. Zhulan's two nieces and daughters-in-law are also good at cooking, and today they are the head chefs.
Just as Dong Lin asked to go around, Li came in, "Mother, come here, I have something to tell you."
