The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 166: Parents have shortcomings
When they arrived at Li's house, the villagers gave the dried vegetables, bacon, chickens, ducks and the like to the servants of the Li family, saying that they were specially for Li Shao, Zhao Ye and the two children.
Although it is not a valuable item, it is considered a gift worth giving when visiting relatives in the village.
Li Shao didn't want to accept it at first, but the village chief said that it was a kind gesture from everyone and he just hoped he wouldn't despise it.
Li Shao thought for a moment and said, "How can I dislike it? This is all from the heart. How about this, after I won the first place in the imperial examination, my family stayed in the capital directly, and we didn't invite everyone to celebrate. After we settle down in a few days, we will treat the whole village to a meal."
The village chief waved his hands quickly, "What should we do? Everyone in the village should welcome you back and invite you. How can we ask you to invite everyone?"
Li Shao said nonchalantly: "Don't argue with me. You guys came to pick us up in the cold weather and brought us these things. It's very thoughtful of you. We should treat everyone back."
Zhao Ye also agreed: "Yes, Uncle Zhao, it's our turn to invite. When everything is ready, I'll have to trouble you to notify everyone."
The couple looked so sincere and heartfelt that the village chief felt warm inside. If he refused again, it would seem that he was not giving them face, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will thank you two on behalf of everyone else."
"Look at what you said. What are you thanking me for?"
When the villagers behind them heard that Li Shao and his wife were going to treat them to a meal, they couldn't help but smile and thank them. After exchanging a few polite words, they all went home so that Li Shao and his family could have a rest.
However, the Zhao family was not considered outsiders, so they stayed and did not leave, chatting privately with Li Shao and his wife in the house.
Li Han and Li Jin, on the other hand, couldn't stay idle at all, and were very outgoing and were taken out to play by Zhao Xing, Zhao Chen and others. Of course, they were also followed by many personal maids and servants.
Now in the main hall, Zhao's mother was holding Zhao Ye's hand and crying, "Ye'er, my son, it was so crowded outside just now, and it was so chaotic. Now is the time for mother to take a good look at you."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Ye carefully, "You are whiter, your face and hands are more delicate, and you look so elegant. You look like a government official. It is obvious that your son-in-law really loves and pampers you. With such a good husband like your son-in-law, mother is relieved."
Maybe it was because life was going well and life was easy at home, Zhao's mother had become much calmer, and there was actually some kindness on her face when she said these words.
Now, Zhao Ye, the brother who can make her proud in front of everyone, has a higher status in her heart than her two sons.
Zhao Ye smiled and patted her hands. "Mom, I'm fine. My husband has always been very good to me, and the two children are very obedient. On the contrary, you and dad are getting older. You should pay more attention to your health."
"Oh! Good! Good! Mother knows. My brother Ye is so considerate and thoughtful. He knows how to think about mother! Our family is living a good life now. Your father and I should live a few more years and enjoy life."
Li Shao took into consideration that the Zhao family was Zhao Ye's maternal family after all, even though Zhao's father and mother had not been kind to Zhao Ye before and still wanted to marry him to the old man.
But later, no matter whether they were pretending or sincere, their "care" and "flattery" for Zhao Ye made him happy, so Li Shao thought that it would be enough to give them some benefits and let them make Zhao Ye happy.
In the past two years, all the raw material purchases for the winery were handed over to Zhao Tian. Of course, Sun Liu would also be in charge of it, so there would be no such thing as making money from it.
The Zhao family now hires people to cultivate their fields. Zhao Tian has made a lot of money as a middleman and has even rebuilt his house.
Sun Jiao was also very conspicuous and did not feel dissatisfied with all the good things Zhao's mother said about her son Zhao Ye. Instead, she agreed: "What mother said is right. The little brother is thoughtful. I envy anyone who has a little brother. But they gave birth to two bald boys."
"But this little brother is different from the other little brothers. No other brother in the surrounding villages is as sensible and filial as our Ye brother!"
Zhao's mother liked what she said, "You are right. No other brother is as caring as my Ye'er."
Sun Jiao continued with a smile and said, "But if you ask me, our family should thank his uncle the most. If it weren't for his uncle, would we have lived such a good life in the past few years!"
Li Shao waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, what does the family say to thank? If they are good to Brother Ye, then they should thank me."
"Oh! Look, his uncle is a truly good man. He loves our Brother Ye to the core. Tianzi, why don't you learn from his uncle!"
"You are too kind, sister-in-law. Brother is also a good man who loves his wife."
Zhao Tian, who was standing by, just smiled and scratched his head when the topic turned to him.
Now Zhao Tian has been reformed by her and knows how to save money for his family. In fact, Sun Jiao is very satisfied with him. She still said: "Your elder brother can't compare with you."
Then he rolled his eyes at Zhao Tian and said angrily, "His uncle is talking to you, but you don't even make a sound. Really..."
"His uncle, your eldest brother is like this. He can't do anything even if you hit him with three sticks. He gets nervous when he sees you. In fact, before you came back, he told me privately that he missed you guys."
"Brother is an honest man, so it's normal that he doesn't talk much."
Seeing that Li Shao said this without any displeasure, Sun Jiao felt relieved. She secretly thought to herself that she must have a good talk with Zhao Tian when she got home in the evening. A high-ranking official is sitting here talking to you, but you don't know how to be polite to him.
Since he didn't say anything, she, as his daughter-in-law, spoke for him. Sun Jiao began to flatter Li Shao and his wife and their two children.
Li Shao couldn't listen any more and changed the subject, "How are your father-in-law and mother-in-law in recent years? Brother Ye and I can't be around all the time, thanks to my elder brother and sister-in-law for taking care of them."
Father Zhao said, "We are fine! Don't worry about us. Brother, you are so busy as an official in the capital, and you still worry about us. It really troubles you."
Mother Zhao also agreed: "Yes, thanks to you and Brother Ye, we are now well fed and well-drinking at home, and your father and I are in good health."
Zhao Tian didn't continue to smile foolishly this time. He said something that Sun Jiao liked to hear, "Don't worry about his uncle and Ye Ge'er. Taking care of our parents is our job. We will definitely take good care of them."
Father Zhao continued, "How long do you plan to stay in the village? You can't leave your job in the capital, right?"
"I'll leave after the Chinese New Year, and I still have a few months of vacation."
Father Zhao nodded, "The mission is important, the mission is important."
In order to make the conversation more interesting, Li Shao talked to them about his experiences over the years. Zhao's father and Zhao Tian had never left Qingshi Town in their lives, so they were fascinated by what they heard.
Seeing that the three of them were chatting happily and not paying attention to this side, Zhao's mother took Zhao Ye's hand and led him to the side room of the main hall. Sun Jiao naturally followed behind.
Zhao Ye was confused. "Mom, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Is there anything you can't say outside?"
Mother Zhao pressed Zhao Ye on the chair and asked him seriously: "Brother Ye, in the past few years in the capital, has your husband found other girls or boys?"
This is what she was talking about mysteriously. Zhao Ye was speechless. "Mom, what are you thinking? Of course not! I am your only husband."
Mother Zhao quickly reached out to cover his mouth, "Oh my Brother Ye! Keep your voice down, don't let your brother-in-law hear you."
But seeing Zhao Ye like this, she knew that Li Shao didn't have any messy lovers outside, so Zhao's mother was relieved, "Mother, aren't you worried that your brother-in-law will be seduced away by some little witch?"
"You're worrying about nothing, mother. I just know that my brother Ye is the most capable. Even though your son-in-law has become a general, he can't do without you." Mother Zhao couldn't help but tremble again.
Zhao Ye couldn't help but complain to her, "Mom, you just love to daydream all day long."
Now, whatever Zhao Ye said, Zhao's mother liked to hear it. She smiled and said, "Isn't it all because of you that I'm worried about?"
Sun Jiao immediately agreed: "That's right, Brother Ye, you don't know, mother also asked Liu Banxian for a magic talisman, saying that it can bless men not to change their minds. Mother asked for it for you, and it is now on the altar in our house. I spent two taels of silver!"
"Ah?!" Zhao Ye didn't expect that his mother would actually spend two taels of silver to buy a talisman. How afraid his mother must be that her husband would fall in love with someone else!
Zhao Ye said helplessly: "Mom, don't spend that money in vain in the future. Wouldn't it be better to buy some food and drink with that money? Those half-immortals are all fake."
"Who said it's fake? Liu Banxian is really good..." When she saw Zhao Ye's face, Zhao's mother immediately deflated. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go to Liu Banxian again next time. I don't believe this."
Although she said this, Zhao's mother would continue to look for Liu Banxian in secret. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Liu Banxian was smart.
Sun Jiao laughed secretly on the side.
At this time, Zhao's mother remembered that she had not explained to Zhao Ye why Zhao Xiuwen and his wife did not show up when they returned, so she hurriedly said, "Oh, Ye'er, in fact, the Xiuwen couple stayed at home with the child every day waiting for you to come back a few days ago. Who would have thought that the child had a fever a few days ago, so the couple took the child back to town for medical treatment. It's not that they didn't want to come and pick you up."
"Tomorrow I will ask your eldest brother to go to the town and send a message, saying that you are back and asking them to come back."
"Mom, if the child is sick, of course you should let them stay in town and take good care of the child. Don't make things difficult. I remember the child should be over one year old."
"Yes, he is over one year old now. Thanks to the magic medicine you sent back, he got pregnant not long after drinking it. The couple must thank you and your son-in-law."
"What are you thanking me for? We are all family. When the child gets better, we can have a good meal and get together as a family."
"Okay, I'll call your eldest sister and her family over then."
They were chatting about family matters inside and outside the house, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After the servants brought back by Li Shao and his companions had packed up their things and prepared the meal, Li Shao and Zhao Ye naturally invited the Zhao family to have dinner with them.
After the meal, the Zhao family did not stay any longer. After all, the family had had enough time together. Li Shao and his friends had been traveling for such a long time, so they should rest early.
