Golden Pink Building

"You really belong to your own family. Xiuzhu is your niece, and Qingqiu is your daughter-in-law. In terms of blood relationship, who is closer and who is farther away? Be careful if Xiuzhu finds out." Bai Wenxin said to Looking at his wife's words is a bit funny, in his opinion, Qingqiu and Xiuzhu are two completely different girls, there is no comparison.

"You are really confused. Qingqiu is Shaoyi's wife and the mother of our future grandchildren. In the future, will you rely on your son and daughter-in-law to be filial or rely on your nephew and niece to provide for the elderly? I think Qingqiu is the kind of sincere child If you treat her well, she will naturally treat you with sincerity. Even if you are frustrated in the officialdom, you will not be disgusted if you stumble. Maybe we will rely on her in the future. As for Xiuzhu, where do I say she is not good? It's just The girl Xiuzhu is not deeply involved in the world, and she is too emotional. I think Xiuzhu is a child who has not grown up, and she blindly follows her temperament in every plan. It's good for her to marry Lao Qi, anyway, they are two people who don't worry about it. People, everything is thought out for them." Madam Bai glanced at her husband dissatisfied.Far and near, Mrs. Bai has her own standards of appearance.

After Jin Quan placed Zhao Zhonghua in the Ministry of Communications, she understood that although her brother was good to her, their relationship was not the same as when they went to school together decades ago.After all, Ouyang Yujian was his own son. Seeing Feng Ju and the others looking good, Jin Quan must feel very guilty about this son, and his nephew and sister were about to stay behind.People always have to grow up. With their own family and children, brothers and sisters have lost the intimacy they had when they were young.She and her husband will still rely on their son and daughter-in-law in the future, although Mrs. Bai knows that Qingqiu will not be that kind of unfilial daughter-in-law.But feelings are things that need to be cultivated.

It's not because you gave birth to a child and married your son a daughter-in-law. His sons and daughters, daughter-in-law and son-in-law are all filial and considerate of you.Even if it is a biological child, it is useless for the parents to not take the child seriously and chill the child's heart.Besides, both Qingqiu and Shaoyi are lovely children, Mrs. Bai is happy to have a good relationship with her son and daughter-in-law.People come and go, and only by caring about the younger generation now can you enjoy a beautiful old age.

"You're right. I just remind you that Xiongqi and Xiuzhu are our juniors after all. You care about your nephews and nieces, and there is no conflict with loving your own children. I know that you still blame your brother about Zhao Zhonghua, That is also human nature. You may not be able to understand his own suffering. I looked at Zhao Yihan a bit too much. It is understandable that something happened at home, but Lao Zhao is gone, and the news case will not really involve him. If the matter The ins and outs of the case are revealed at a glance. Where is the government's face? Anyway, people die like lights out, and they are all written off. But why is Lao Zhao's eldest girl still a little-out of shape. Her father had an accident, and her brother didn't come back , as a daughter, she should preside over the overall situation, or ask Ouyang to come forward. In the end, she ran away by herself, leaving a mess to her sister who didn't know anything. Ouyang didn't come to help! She still had the mood to go out and fool around with those people! Before She is a very nice girl, why is she so ignorant." Thinking of the bleak scene at Lao Zhao's funeral, Bai Wenxin blamed Zhao Yihan somewhat dissatisfied.

"My lord, you just saw it! You were not satisfied when I stopped Shaoyi from marrying her. How about now! Think about it, if Zhao Yihan was really our daughter-in-law - I'm afraid that the person who will cry at this time is We're here." Jin Ying gave her husband a look, then leaned against the bed and closed her eyes.

"That's right. According to Lao Zhao's temperament, it will be difficult for him to be safe if he doesn't have an accident this time. The previous rules are correct when you think about it carefully. It's right to be a dreamer, but money and status are second. Tutoring is very important. Our family has always disapproved of it." Wealth and wealth are in danger, and it is okay to be friends with someone like Lao Zhao, but it is difficult to maintain a relationship for a long time. Shaoyi's daughter-in-law is in harmony with our family's temperament. By the way, I think of my wife, who is alone and misses her daughter. The next time I came to leave, I was reluctant to leave. I thought it would be better to ask the young couple to move back and take care of my in-laws for a few days. I will come back after giving birth. What do you think?" Bai Wenxin's words made Mrs. Bai look at her husband in surprise: "You are more thoughtful than I thought, so I will do as you want. I will tell Qingqiu tomorrow that this favor is still yours. body."

"Human love is not a watermelon. We are a husband and wife, and our daughter-in-law appreciates it with us. It's getting late, let's go to bed early." Said Bai Wenxin, the book in his hand was still on the side, and he lay down Go to sleep.Madam Bai looked at her husband, a smile flashed across her face, and she reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.

Mrs. Leng received a call from Mrs. Bai, asking her to take care of Qingqiu at Shaoyi and Qingqiu's home outside the city for a few days.Mrs. Leng immediately understood that this was the kindness of the Bai family. She sincerely thanked Mrs. Bai for her trust on the phone. Mrs. Bai said with a smile: "Actually, it's cool outside the city. Shaoyi took a case and felt that the city was too lively." , They want to move back and live in peace to do things. I'm not lazy and don't want to take care of my daughter-in-law, it's just that our family thought something happened to an old friend recently. My master and I are going to pay condolences, that place is always bad. Qingqiu and Shao Yi went out to avoid it, so as to save us from bringing bad luck on them. It’s just that the children are young, so please ask the in-laws to worry more.” Mrs. Bai is very polite and humble, and Mrs. Leng is naturally grateful.The two talked speculatively, discussed the time and details, hung up the phone, and Mrs. Leng was busy calling Han Ma over to discuss the matter of going to accompany Qingqiu.

"Girls are so lucky to have such a mother-in-law who cares about them. Madam, do you still remember the family with a big locust tree at the west end of the alley? The girls in their family are pitiful." Mother Han listened to Mrs. Leng's words that she was going to accompany Qingqiu , I was very happy, and by the way, let me talk about other people's gossip: "The girl from that family married the person my uncle and his colleagues told our girl last time. When they talked about their marriage, they talked about it. My uncle is a college student, and the family is also good. .In fact, the mother-in-law of that family is very powerful. The daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she has to stand in front of her every day. Looking at her, she just sat down for a while and then called back. She said that she is a member of their family when she gets married. After sending things over, the mother-in-law said in front of her daughter-in-law and son that you were a married girl who poured out water, followed me and wronged you, and told her family that I, as a mother-in-law, kept your mouth shut. That daughter-in-law was wronged It seemed like something, and she quietly took words to her natal family. As a result, the mother-in-law challenged her again, saying that she didn't want her grandson, and she died in front of the girl. The wife of that family was also honest, and she was sad alone. Look at the Bai family What he did was also reasonable and thoughtful.”

"Blessed by the Buddha, Qiu'er has a good home. Speaking of preparing things, we should also prepare things for children. Go and have a look. I remember doing a lot of sewing. How far is it? You can sort it out and I will take it with you." Go, and do some needlework while accompanying Qiu'er." According to the custom, grandma will prepare the baby's swaddling bedding, small clothes and shoes, tiger head hat and even the cradle bath tub. Snacks, hens, brown sugar, eggs, and Changshousuo should all be delivered to the in-laws' house neatly.It means that the grandmother's family attaches great importance to the little grandson, and it also implies that the in-law's family, my daughter is supported by her mother's family, and you can't wrong her during confinement.

Madam Han and Mrs. Leng immediately dug out the things they had prepared and counted them. Mrs. Leng frowned a little dissatisfied: "I remember doing a lot, why is this all?" Mama Han rewrapped the things: "Madam forgot, you First of all, the fabrics at home are not good, and I need to buy new ones. Later, my wife often goes to see the girl, how much time do you have for sewing in a day? You are getting old, and you can’t see it at night when it’s cloudy. According to me, it’s better to put the child close to your body first. Please do the quilt, quilt, small cloak and so on. Our family is not short of that money. My wife goes to the girl's place to do needlework all day long. How can the girl watch you do it? I want to help you, so what if she gets tired?"

Mrs. Leng looked at the few small bundles and sighed helplessly: "I'm really old. That's the only way we can go. Let's go out and buy materials first. Take advantage of the hot weather to drive out the cups and quilts. The children's little ones I’m going to make a leather cloak, and then a cotton padded one, and I’ll ask outsiders to make the leather one, and we’ll do the rest.”

Since Qingqiu got married, she can often subsidize her mother quietly. Mrs. Leng refused to take her daughter's money, but Qingqiu said that the money was negotiated between her and Bai Shaoyi, and it was right to support her parents.Bai Shaoyi simply opened up the big courtyard next to Leng's house with Leng's house. Mrs. Leng didn't want to leave the courtyard she used to live in, so Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu built a larger courtyard based on the original courtyard, and rented out the rest of the house after tidying up. The rent is also paid to Mrs. Leng.Therefore, Mrs. Leng has a lot of money now, and she is Qingqiu's daughter, and she has specially picked up things for her grandson.The next morning Mrs. Leng took Han Ma to the best shop in the capital to buy the best cotton, soft and absorbent foreign cotton cloth and bright brocade silk.

The shopkeeper saw that Mrs. Leng was well-dressed and came in with an old woman. He quickly remembered that Mrs. Leng was very generous in buying the dowry for the girl. She popped up out of nowhere: "Madam is so lucky, it must be that my aunt is going to import a baby. This hundred-character brocade is the best, with bright yellow and bright red bases, no matter which kind is good-looking for the young master, and there is also a fox skin. And otter sable, the young master’s body is still tender, the sable fur is the lightest, and the white fox fur is good for keeping out the wind..." The young man immediately brought out all the fluffy fur and shiny brocade, and told Mrs. Leng to sit and drink tea Pick something that suits your heart.

Soon Mrs. Leng chose a piece of white fox fur, accompanied by a red brocade of a hundred sons, and then she chose a lot of cotton, muslin, and satin. "I want you to make the cloak, you must do it carefully, I don't want those dirty people!" Mrs. Leng paid the money and instructed the shopkeeper.

"Don't worry, ma'am, how dare we fool the customers when we open a shop? My aunt must pay special attention to the things of the young master, and I definitely can't let pickers do it. We recently hired a needleworker, it was very clean and tidy, my wife is worried, Invite her to come and see you."

Speaking of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper asked Mrs. Leng to sit down and drink tea, and he went to the back to lead an elderly woman out. "This is our newly hired master." Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Mrs. Leng stood up in surprise: "Are you Mr. Ouyang's mother?"

Ouyang's mother heard Mrs. Leng calling her, and looked at the person in front of her carefully. Mrs. Leng was wearing a stone blue gown, and the shoes on her feet were also made by the most famous shoe store in the capital. Her hair was neatly combed in a bun. , with a hairpin inlaid with emerald green rice beads, glass emerald earrings on the ears, and a gold bracelet on the wrist, the pearls inlaid on it emit a soft brilliance.Even Han's mother behind her was well dressed, with a shrimp beard bracelet on her wrist, holding Mrs. Leng's fan, standing with her chest and belly folded.Ouyang Yujian's mother looked at Mrs. Leng's master and servant, nowhere was she as cold and bleak as before.

Mrs. Leng remembered that Qingqiu had mentioned Ouyang's life experience when chatting with her. She looked at Ouyang Yujian's mother with some differences, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "I heard that Mr. Ouyang is married, why is Mrs. Ouyang this?" -"

In the private seat on the second floor of the teahouse next door to Silk House, Ouyang's mother couldn't help talking to Mrs. Leng about her depression.Ouyang's mother was also relieved when her son went to school in Shanghai. Ever since Ouyang Yujian's pursuit of Qingqiu was rejected, Ouyang Yujian seemed to be a different person.Either the parents sighed, or they ran out and saw no one for a few days.Talking to him, I became excited when I was talking, and growled with my mother, making people confused and half-understandable.Ouyang's mother thought that Yu Jian would go to Shanghai and leave the capital, so that Qingqiu would be forgotten after a long time.Unexpectedly, just a few days after she felt relieved, Ouyang interrupted her studies and brought a daughter-in-law home.

Seeing Zhao Yihan leaning delicately beside her son, Ouyang's mother felt mixed feelings.At first glance, this daughter-in-law was born as a young lady, dressed fashionable, and popped out a few foreign words from time to time. Just after following Ouyang into the yard, Ouyang's mother clearly saw the fleeting disgust on Zhao Yihan's face.But the serious young lady who was born abroad was willing to marry Yu Jian. As a mother, she could bear anything as long as her son was good.

Ouyang Yujian took great care of Zhao Yihan, and thoughtfully served Zhao Yihan food at the dinner table, and even washed the cleaned dishes with boiling water again.Doesn't this mean that she dislikes her mother-in-law for being dirty?Before Ouyang's mother had time to talk to her son, Ouyang took his wife and left the carefully cleaned small yard.Seeing that the food she had put so much effort into cooking was only touched casually, Ouyang's mother had no other thoughts but sighed deeply. When she heard her son getting married, the vision of a family and a beautiful life disappeared completely.

Later, Ouyang Yujian and Zhao Yihan moved into the house arranged by Jin Quan, and Ouyang's mother was hesitating whether to move there.Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yujian came to the door first.But he didn't come to pick up his mother, but said vaguely that Zhao Yihan didn't like being with the elders, she was a foreign style, and wanted young couples to live alone.Ouyang's mother, who was completely heartbroken, had to live alone in the dilapidated small courtyard.But she found that her life had become a big problem. Ever since Jin Quan discovered Ouyang's mother and son, he had given her a sum of money.But Ouyang's mother didn't want to take Jin Quan's money. Later, Ouyang went to Shanghai to study, and Jin Quan and Mrs. Jin came to the door in person.Mrs. Jin said that she was too old and could no longer make a living by sewing and washing clothes for others. When Ouyang went to Shanghai, the Jin family gave Ouyang Yujian a living allowance every month and Ouyang's mother a sum of money. Even if Ouyang respected himself His mother was waiting for Ouyang Yujian to have a job after he finished his studies. Jin Quan helped him find a good job and asked Ouyang Yujian to support his mother.Even if Jin Quan's guilt is fulfilled, it can also make Ouyang Yujian study with peace of mind.

After thinking about it, Ouyang's mother acquiesced to Mrs. Jin's proposal, so the Jin family sent her a sum of money every month.But when Ouyang returned to Beijing, the money disappeared.Without a source of income, Ouyang Yujian seemed to have forgotten that there was still a mother to take care of, and her life began to become embarrassing.Just as Ouyang's mother was thinking about going to the Jin's house to ask, Jin Rong, the manager of the Jin's house, came with the Dragon Boat Festival.It turned out that Mrs. Jin thought that Ouyang was back, so she simply sent two cents to Ouyang Yujian every month.Listening to Jin Rong's words, what can Ouyang Lan'er say.She silently swallowed the words she didn't ask out with bitter saliva.

"My life is fine, but I'm a hard worker who doesn't work for a day and feels uncomfortable. The shopkeeper of this shop is a nice person, and he begged me to come out to do sewing several times. Mrs. Leng, you are so lucky, you are about to have a grandson." Ouyang Lan'er naturally helped her son cover it up, she just said that she couldn't take her time to come out.

Mrs. Leng knew that she wasn't telling the truth, but she couldn't poke someone's scar face to face: "Thank you for thinking about it, it's still early before you die. According to the rules in our south, grandma's house needs to prepare things. It's not that I'm lazy, it's because I'm dazzled, big things You really can’t do things like this. Mr. Ouyang of your family is also Qiu’er’s teacher. He will be a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of his life. If you have anything to do, just talk about it. Don’t be polite. By the way, I heard that Mr. Ouyang is also married to Qiu’er. Well, the young mistress of the family is studying abroad just like our uncle. I haven't congratulated you yet." Mrs. Leng didn't like Zhao Yihan very much, and she couldn't help but bring it up when she remembered the uproarious announcement.

Ouyang Lan didn't know the details, she responded: "But what a coincidence, I will walk around a lot in the future."

Mrs. Leng saw her confused face and seemed to really not know, so she didn't mention it.In the end, Mrs. Leng took Han Ma to leave, and she couldn't help but sigh when she returned home. She was even more glad that she didn't make a mistake at the beginning, and that Ouyang Yujian was really not someone worth entrusting for life.How can I be nice to my wife even if I don't care about it.

Jin Jiayan came back from outside excitedly, almost bumping into Jin Rong with a happy face.Jin Rong was busy making bows: "The young one has no eyes, so he bumped into Master Qi."

"Forget it, I'm not a tiger that can eat you. What are you doing sneakily? Why are you still wearing a long gown during the hot weather?" Yanxi was in a good mood and didn't care.

"Back to Master Qi. Today, the master asked me to go to Zhao Zhonghua's house to express condolences. I can't go in short clothes." Jin Rong looked at Yanxi gossipingly and said in a low voice, "Zhao Zhonghua's funeral is a bit bleak, but at least it's preserved. Don't Qi Ye know about the final face, the news case is over."

"Oh, really? Anyway, I don't care about this, and I don't want to get involved. By the way, you saw Zhao Yihan and Ouyang Yujian. Her sister Zhao Yiping must be very sad." Yanxi still has a little affection for Zhao Yiping, after Mrs. Jin's earnest words Yanxi also hated Ouyang Yujian and his wife because of his preaching.

"I went there for a long time, and they didn't even have a single person to greet them. The family had already started to sell furniture and clumsy things. There was no one to watch the incense before the funeral. Their eldest lady was nowhere to be seen, only the second lady and Mr. Ouyang stayed there, but they had no experience and didn't understand anything. Fortunately, there were few customers, otherwise there would be many jokes. I think Mr. Ouyang is very concerned about his sister-in-law." Jin Rong glanced at Yanxi mischievously.

Yanxi was aroused by Jin Rong to gossip, and was about to continue asking, when Yufen came over: "Lao Qi, someone sent something here, did you buy the bicycle?"

"I bought it, sister-in-law, don't forget to ask for embroidered beads!" Yanxi immediately dropped the gossip about Jin Rong and Zhao's family, bowed to Yufen, and begged her to ask her to come out with embroidered beads.
