Chapter 240, Entering a new house
On the day when their new house moved into the house, they didn't have the idea of making a fuss, so after discussing with each other, they decided to cook two tables of meals for their own family.
Qiao Minglang asked his uncle and aunt what they meant, and he and his uncle invited the relatives of the clan, as well as the families of his two aunts, to have a meal.
There was a happy event at home, so they stopped trading for a day, and the stalls in the town were not opened, so they stayed at home to help.Aunt Qiao was waving a large spoon in the kitchen to stir fry vegetables. The large plate of vegetables was put into the pot, and the fire in the stove was very hot, and a plate was fried in a short time.
Uncle Qiao and his wife did not go out to sell fish either, but stayed at home to see if there was anything they could do to help.
Many people came to their house that day, and the two aunts who were married came. They were both from their own family and they didn't need to entertain them. With the help of his aunts, the women didn't need him to entertain them.
Qiao Minglang only needs to follow his uncle to greet the elders of the clan.
"I heard that Mingshan and the others opened a shop in the city, and they must have made a lot of money." Qiao Jiaolan, who married to the town, came back to her natal home, and heard a few words from her aunt, knowing that her nephews had all gone to the city. do business here.
In the past, her life was good, and she looked down on these relatives of her natal family. Now that her relatives of her natal family are getting better, Miss Qiao doesn't have too many blessings in her heart. Instead, she has a faint jealousy.
Seeing that the nephews of her natal family are all so promising, and thinking about her son who can only go back to get money all day long and can't do anything, she still thinks her son is okay without comparison.With this comparison, she felt unbalanced.
"Oh, is there a shortage of people in Mingshan's store? I heard that the men from Xiaolan's family went with them. It just so happens that Chengjia of our family wants to go to the city all day long. Why don't we let Chengjia follow along? Let's go together."
"Look at what you said, my aunt, your family's store in the town is so big, you Chengjia still have to go to Mingshan's small store."
Ever since she heard from her daughter-in-law that her son was angry and wronged by his relatives, Aunt Qiao realized that they thought too much of their relatives before.Originally, they thought that if they were relatives, they would send their children there to learn a craft, and they would have a bowl of food to eat in the future. They didn't want to send their children there to be bullied like that.
As a mother, her children are her heart and soul, and no matter what, she would never like her children to be bullied.
She didn't know about the others, but Mrs. Qiao had heard of this sister-in-law's son. He was spoiled since he was a child, and he was idle all day long.
She only found out after hearing the man in the family come back. They opened a stall in the town to cook food, and the son of the sister-in-law's family took people to eat and didn't give him money.
Everyone is relatives. If you say you go to eat bowl noodles by yourself and don’t pay, they invite your relatives to eat bowl noodles at that time, but you bring other people to eat bowl noodles. This is not right.What they earn is a few hard-earned money. They get up early and work late every day. The few money they earn every day is not easy.
If it was someone else, Mrs. Qiao would tell her son to see if he wanted to see it, and let one more person pass by.But if it is the son of this young lady's family, even if this young lady speaks in person, Mrs. Qiao will help her son stop it, so that it is easy to ask God to send God away when she can get it.
"Chengjia just wants to go to the city for a few days, and besides, I don't want him to go outside to suffer." Qiao Jiaolan pretended not to understand the meaning of her sister-in-law's words, and then talked about their shop. How good the business is, with such a single seedling, the shop in the town will definitely belong to her son in the future.
Aunt Qiao and Aunt Qiao felt it was funny when they heard it.
They all knew that there were several brothers from the Feng family, and their shop in the town was owned by my sister-in-law's father-in-law.When the old man is going to leave, the brothers may decide what to do for that little family property.
In the past, they thought that this sister-in-law married the best, but looking at it now, their life is just like that, not as comfortable as theirs.
When I heard what the little aunt said later, Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao ignored her, and pretended not to hear what they said.
Aunt Qiao said a few words by herself, but no one paid any attention to her. She felt bored, so she closed her mouth, listened to others, and inserted a few words from time to time.
***
After eating, Qiao Minglang and his uncle sent the elders back from the clan, "Walk slowly, come and sit when you have time."
"well."
Several uncles waved their hands and left together.
Seeing that no one was eating, Mrs. Qiao said to pack up the things, otherwise so many things would not be finished by a few children in a while.As soon as she saw she was going to work, Qiao Jiaolan got up and said that she was going back, and said pretendingly: "Oh, I still have something to do at home, if I don't go back, it will be too late."
"Oh, then you can go back. We are still busy here, so we won't send you out." Aunt Qiao knew the character of this little girl, and she got good things faster than anyone else. When she saw that she was about to work, she ran faster Everyone slips away.
Her son used to work in someone else's store, and when she saw this little girl coming back to her mother's house, she always shirked and didn't work, so she couldn't say anything.
But now seeing this little girl pretending, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it, and she also hated this little girl in her heart, so her attitude towards this little girl became cold.
"If you want to go, go quickly, don't block our way here." Aunt Qiao was sweeping the floor with a broom, and said angrily when she saw her sister standing here blocking her way.
After being a sister for so many years, it's not that Aunt Qiao doesn't understand what kind of person this sister is.But as long as she understands, the more she looks down on this younger sister's behavior and work, what if she comes back to her mother's house to have a meal and help with some work?As for doing this?
"I'll go and tell my aunt." Qiao Jiaolan glanced at her sister-in-law, and saw that she didn't even give her a look. She saw that there were still a lot of meat and vegetables left in the kitchen, and she wanted to pack some and go home.
If it was in the past, the sister-in-law would have installed it for her and let her take it away.But seeing everyone's indifferent attitude towards her now, no matter how thick-skinned she is, it's hard for her to say such a thing.
Seeing her sisters-in-law and third sister ignoring her, Qiao Jiaolan went to her eldest brother's house awkwardly, told the old mother who was lying on the bed, and left with a small bag in her hand. .
Seeing that the girl was gone, Aunt Qiao opened her mouth to tell her sister-in-law what was wrong with her, "If there is a good thing, she runs faster than anyone else, but when there is no good thing, no one can run as fast as her."
"It's just about washing a few dishes. Let's be quick with our hands and feet, and we'll be done with it soon." Seeing that there were children beside her, Aunt Qiao took a look at Auntie and asked her to stop talking.Aunt Qiao knew such a truth, so she didn't say anything more.
Seeing a few aunts and aunts helping them clean up, Qiao Xiaohui and Qiao Sanmei also went to help them clean up. The three siblings worked neatly without any delay.
When Qiao Minglang came back, he saw that his aunts and brothers and sisters had almost cleared the table. He wanted to help, but was driven away by his aunt.Going out to take a look outside, he saw Aunt Wu and her sisters washing dishes, so he walked over to help.
When he was building a house at home, he specifically told his uncle to invite someone to dig a well at home and press the water with a pump, so that he would not have to worry about children accidentally falling into it in the future. The child has to run so far to fetch water.
Uncle Qiao never thought of asking someone to dig a well at home before. When he asked someone to help his nephew dig a well, he also asked someone to dig a similar pump well at their house, so that the few households would not have to travel so far for water. The place went to fetch water.
"Hey, I don't need you to come. We've already washed these few dishes and chopsticks, so you don't have to get your hands dirty." Qiao Wuniang saw that her little nephew was coming to help with the washing. Several people are washing, and it doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person. "Go inside and see what else you need to do, and clean it up."
Qiao Minglang, who was kicked out of the house just now, "..."
Why is it so difficult for him to help with some work?It's just a matter of doing things, why don't you want him anywhere.
"Minglang, what are you doing standing here? You've been busy all day, go sit and drink some water." Seeing his nephew standing here, Uncle Qiao called for someone to go over and drink some water.
They went to the town to buy vegetables early in the morning, and came back to do this and that. They didn't take a breath of breath until after eating.
Qiao Minglang said yes, but when he saw a few aunts helping with work, he couldn't really sit down and rest.
The tables and stools for eating at home were all borrowed from the uncle's house. After washing, he and his two cousins carried the things to the uncle's house and sent them back.
Until the evening, everyone had dinner with him, and everything in the house was packed. Qiao Minglang took his younger brothers and sisters to send his uncle and aunt back home, "Auntie, uncle and auntie, come over when you are free." Let's play at home."
"Okay, okay, don't send them off, we will come to our house in a few steps." Aunt Qiao said with a smile when she saw her nephew sending them out.
Now they live close to each other, and the new house of the nephew's house is built next to their house. It is their house when they go out, and they can see the door of their house when they look up.
Aunt Qiao smiled and told her nephew not to see him off, and they walked a few steps back home.
Qiao Minglang stood at the door with his younger brothers and sisters, watching his uncle and aunt go home.
"Brother." Qiao Mingcheng looked up at his brother and called out.
"Well, we're going home." Qiao Minglang patted the child's head, and led the siblings back into their yard. The gate of the yard was open but not locked.
