Chapter 22(1/2)
Han Yue is not a fool.
He wants to coax his wife, he should coax it, but he also needs to do things better. Otherwise, he would hand over the piggy bank to Chen Jiao as soon as he stole the money and asked for it. What would the second brother think after he turned around?
Han Yue didn't move the piggy bank for the time being. Once, Han Jiang asked him for money again, saying that he was buying a rattle for Brother Sheng. Han Yue directly asked his second brother to go to the west room to get it. The brother gave the money so happily, Han Jiang immediately forgot how unhappy he had last time eating chicken, and he didn't know what his good brother was thinking about.
In fact, Han Yue didn't want to spend money on his second brother. He was dissatisfied with his second brother spending money randomly at the instigation of Cao Zhenzhu, so he decided to take charge.
Half a month later, Brother Sheng was about to pass the full moon. This Japanese, Han and Chen Jiao came to the wing room together.
It was cold in winter and the windows were closed tightly. Although the house was warm, it was filled with a strong smell of milk.
Chen Jiao was not used to it, but she didn't show it on her face and looked at the swaddle curiously.
Sheng Ge'er, who is about to be full moon, was born at seven kilograms. This month, Cao Zhenzhu had meat every meal and drank chicken soup several times. He was fed to Sheng Ge'er and became more and more fat. The boy looked like the Han brothers, with big eyebrows and big eyes. It's not that Han Jiang loves the house and Wu are all good at Cao Zhenzhu. Chen Jiao sat aside and watched, and she also liked this fat nephew.
The nephew is the nephew, and Cao Zhenzhu is Cao Zhenzhu. Chen Jiao is not so cautious that she irritated her dissatisfaction with Cao Zhenzhu to the child.
"Sister-in-law hug."
Cao Zhenzhu sat on the kang, and Han Jiang carried the child over and said warmly. Han Jiang was always happy to get close to the beautiful Chen Jiao.
Cao Zhenzhu looked at Han Jiang's pleasing spirit towards Chen Jiao and quietly curled her lips.
Chen Jiao was all focused on Brother Sheng, and she clumsily took the boy doll. As soon as she hugged her, the little guy suddenly smiled at her.
Chen Jiao smiled unconsciously, and Han Yue stood beside her, looking at her beautiful side face, looking forward to their children even more.
After seeing his nephew, Han Yue suddenly said to Chen Jiao: "Brother Sheng is our first child. The full moon wine is more lively. None of us brothers have ever done it. You have to pay more attention. By the way, spend money as long as you should. Don't save it at this time." A tone of a husband's advice to his wife.
Han Jiang was happy when he heard this. The eldest brother wanted to hold a full moon banquet for his son!
Cao Zhenzhu was happy at first, but when she saw Chen Jiao's petal-like face, she was not dissatisfied. Cao Zhenzhu changed her mind and suddenly realized! What the eldest uncle meant was to let Chen Jiao butler?
The piggy bank is placed in the west room, and the three brothers can take it. Cao Zhenzhu can't touch it, and Chen Jiao can't touch it either. Cao Zhenzhu has nothing to say. Now that the eldest uncle handed the piggy bank to Chen Jiao, Chen Jiao has the money in charge, can she let go? Seeing that the family is about to sell pigs by the end of the year, it's a few dozen taels of silver!
Cao Zhenzhu wanted to say something, but she was as shameless as her and did not dare to accuse her in front of her.
At this moment, Chen Jiao smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, who do you want to invite at home? Tell me, I can calculate how many tables to put on."
Cao Zhenzhu was in a bad mood and said, "I can't remember it for a while. I'll tell my sister-in-law after I've calculated it."
Chen Jiao nodded and looked at Han Yue. She said, "Then you guys coax Brother Sheng, we're going to prepare for the banquet."
Han Jiang handed his son to his wife and went out to see him off.
It was a happy event for his son to celebrate the full moon, but Han Jiang didn't expect that as soon as he returned to the house, Cao Zhenzhu threw a basin of cold water: "See? My elder brother wants to ask my sister-in-law to take the housekeeper. You said that my elder brother didn't care about us getting money from the piggy bank, so what is it now?"
Han Jiang was confused and looked at the woman on the kang in a daze.
Cao Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Brother asked her sister-in-law to handle the full moon wine. Where did her sister-in-law's money come from?"
Han Jiang finally understood. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is the one who pays her sister-in-law. It's not like this in the future."
Cao Zhenzhu sneered: "Yes, let's take a look."
Han Jiang was so upset when she said that.
Cao Zhenzhu was furious. As soon as Chen Jiao returned to the east room, she could no longer help but be proud of the successful plan and smiled.
"Are you happy?" Han Yue looked down at her.
Chen Jiao hummed and took off her shoes and went to the kang. As soon as she knelt down to the head of the kang, Han Yue rushed over from behind and hugged her tightly.
Chen Jiao turned around and glared at him: "What are you doing?"
Han Yue looked at her beautiful peach blossom eyes with a burning look: "I haven't given it to me for several days."
She has been depressed these days, and Han Yue is embarrassed to hug her.
Chen Jiao glanced at the door bolt, and he had already left behind.
The man is too enthusiastic, Chen Jiao can't let it go. Anyway, she is in a good mood, so it's okay to spend some fun with him.
With acquiescence, Han Yuefei quickly put down the quilt and stuffed the petite lady into it. He immediately followed her in.
"Jiaojiao, you have a son for me too!"
He was so greedy for other people's children. At the last moment, Han Yue held Chen Jiao's face and said fiercely.
Chen Jiao's beautiful eyes were blurred, and her cute appearance flashed through her mind when Brother Sheng smiled. For the first time, she actually thought that having a baby was good. Han Yue was better than Han Jiang, and their son must be more handsome. She was more beautiful than Cao Zhenzhu. If she had a daughter, she would definitely be like her.
Before his soul was completely withdrawn, Han Yue suddenly grabbed the pillow and stuffed it under her waist.
Chen Jiaoqi said: "What do you do?"
Han Yue looked at her and smiled: "Everyone said it's easy to conceive."
Chen Jiao glared at him again and said, "No hurry," she was hoping that she would have a child soon?" Fortunately, it was not uncomfortable to put on the pillow, so Chen Jiao let him go.
The couple lay down again and began to discuss what to do with the full moon wine. Han Yue said that he didn't understand, but in fact he knew better than Chen Jiao. Which villagers to buy what food to buy is very well-informed.
"We have to give Brother Sheng a gift." Han Yue hugged his wife and whispered.
Chen Jiao laughed: "I have two long-lived locks there..."
"Leave yours for our children." Han Yue immediately interrupted her, knowing that everything in her hands was full of good things.
So, there is a difference between the nephew and his biological children. No matter how good Han Yue is to his younger brothers, he is still an ordinary person after all.
Chen Jiao not only thinks that Han Yue is sometimes too stingy, but also likes his selfishness.
"That afternoon, let's go to the town together and choose a normal good guy for Brother Sheng. Didn't she say bad things about me every day? I'll give Brother Sheng a pair of good bracelets in front of the villagers. In the future, she will slander me, and others will not believe it." Relying on the man's warm arms, Chen Jiao said her little plan.
Han Yue said: "Okay, I'll make up for it after I've sold the pigs." Now that the little money is left after I bought the full moon wine, I'll spend her private money on buying a bracelet.
The next day, the couple went to the market. In addition to the vegetables and meat needed to hold the banquet, Chen Jiao also bought an account book to show that she would not be greedy for public use.
"No." Han Yue wanted to stop him, but he believed her.
Chen Jiao snorted: "I didn't remember it for you."
Han Yue was silent when he thought of his second brother and sister-in-law.
Chen Jiao held the Han family’s full moon wine very beautifully. There were two meat dishes on each table, and the portion was sufficient. When it was the relatives’ turn to give gifts, she put a pair of silver bracelets on Brother Sheng’er’s chubby little hand on behalf of the couple.
The relatives of the Han family, except Chen Jiao's mother-in-law, were mostly villagers with ordinary and even shabby families. Seeing Chen Jiao's actions so generous, their eyes lit up. When they talked to each other, the villagers outside also knew how good Chen Jiao was to her nephew. When they thought about Cao Zhenzhu's various complaints about Chen Jiao, they naturally had a scale in their hearts.
Everyone praised Chen Jiao as a good sister-in-law. Hu didn't like to listen very much, and he came to visit Tian. Hu suddenly smiled and said, "My mother-in-law, our Hu Zi is six years old after the New Year. Can you see if you can send him to a private school and ask his father-in-law to help discipline him? Alas, in our farmer, I don't expect him to take the exam for scholars, just be able to recognize words."
Tian thought to himself, who is your mother-in-law?
The guests at the same table all looked at her. Tian smiled and said, "Okay, we are relatives, just give half of the meaning of Shu Xiu."
Everyone in the village knew that Master Lin accepted students and collected one tael of silver a year. As soon as Tian opened his mouth, he waived the Cao family half a day of money, which was generous enough.
But Mrs. Hu was completely worried about, otherwise she would not be willing to spend even half a tael of silver.
After talking, Hu was so embarrassed to say the sentence "Is it okay to have less?"
Tian continued to chat with others.
After the banquet, the guests were sent away. Han Jiang helped his brother clean the yard and couldn't wait to go back to the wing room.
Today, the second wife received a lot of gifts, such a full moon gift for mothers and children, they don’t have to pay the husband.
After looking at it, Han Jiang chewed his son's fat hand: "It's the best way to be my sister-in-law." It's different for a rich lady.
Cao Zhenzhu sneered: "It turns out that she spent money from our family."
Han Jiang didn't like to listen and glared at him: "Our family only has a few hundred ounces. I'm afraid my sister-in-law has paid for this banquet, so how can I have money to buy bracelets?"
Cao Zhenzhu didn't believe it: "Didn't you earn more than two taels in August?"
Han Jiang said: "Doesn't raising pigs cost money? Do you think that so much pig food is blown by the strong wind? And the meat you eat and the chicken soup you drink, don't spend money?"
Cao Zhenzhu's eyes rolled and she whispered: "In the past six months, my elder brother has only raised pigs and has not eaten much wild game. The pigs are all the money you earn. When the pigs are sold, my elder brother has to give us more pocket money."
This is a bit reasonable, and Han Jiang finally didn't say anything back.
In the twelfth lunar month, every household is rushing to buy meat for the New Year, and the prices of chicken, duck, fish, pig, firewood, rice, oil and salt have risen a little, which can be said to be the most expensive time of the year.
In Chen Jiao's chicken pen, there were 28 chicken cubs alive, some died of illness, and some were stolen by weasels...
When he knew that the weasel would steal chickens, Chen Jiao was so angry that he was so angry that Han Yue kept laughing.
Now looking at the chickens in the circle, Han Yue was quite satisfied with the sweetness of this year and the few small quarrels.
Chen Jiao kept eight hens to lay eggs, and a rooster crowed. Then Han Yue grabbed the remaining nineteen, tied up one wild boar, and took it to the county town to sell. After half a year, after Han Yue's careful care, the fourteen wild boars that survived grew to 200 kilograms. Since it was still expensive, Han Yue planned to sell one at a time. He would rather go to the county town a few more times than sell it at a high price.
Han Yue sold the first male wild boar at a good price of 8 taels. As for Chen Jiao's chickens, they sold them for a total of 500 cents, which is more cost-effective than selling them in the town.
After selling the wild boar, Han Yue went to the cloth shop to pull four pieces of fine cloth, and his two younger brothers and two wives were each one, which was considered a celebration. Anyway, he would have to add new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Han Yue also went to the jewelry shop for a walk, and was dazzled. Finally, he decided to take the petite lady into the city in a few days and let her choose it by herself.
After returning home, Han Yue handed over the silver and copper coins to Chen Jiao, and asked Chen Jiao to send two pieces of fine cloth from the second house.
Chen Jiao hugged three horses, who can't do anything about face? Then, she smiled and asked Cao Zhenzhu to choose the two horses that the woman used.
Cao Zhenzhu looked at the two identical fine cloths and understood Chen Jiao's purpose.
She took one casually and asked Chen Jiao again: "Sister-in-law, how much money did that pig sell?"
Han Jiang also looked over.
Chen Jiao said truthfully: "Your brother is lucky today. He met a wealthy man as soon as he entered the city. He gave him eight liang at once. I guess this is not a good thing tomorrow. Those managers in charge of procurement will only try to lower the price and make a lot of money by themselves."
