Pei Xiu could see that the old man's condition was not very good. Although he woke up, he looked a lot older. His face was full of folds, his face was pale, and the green energy on his hands exploded, and he was as thin as chicken feet.
He was in a coma for four months, as if he had exhausted all his energy.
When I asked Zhou Kang before, he also said that the old man was much better, causing her to think that the old man was really out of danger.
Unexpectedly, what they see now is this look, are they too optimistic?
She looked at Zhou Cheng, but Zhou Cheng frowned and pursed his lips.
Now is not the time to talk, let's talk at night.
The old man murmured and spoke to them word by word, and his face was already exhausted after a few words, so they went out first and let him have a good rest.
After returning to the main room again, everyone swept away the solemn and affectionate faces, and gathered around Pei Xiu again with smiles.
"Are the third siblings hungry? Do you want to eat something to pamper your stomach first? How do you plan to arrange for the guards outside?" Sister-in-law Zhou sat next to Pei Xiu and talked to her with a smile.
"I'm not hungry, we ate before we came back, as for the guards..." She looked at Zhou Cheng.
"I have informed the village chief in advance, and he will help arrange food and lodging."
"That's good, that's good, we didn't know there were so many people, we didn't prepare anything, and the third brother didn't say anything..."
On Tuesday, Sister-in-law couldn't wait to interrupt Sister-in-law Zhou and asked, "Third brother and sister, I heard that the army of the imperial court has returned triumphantly. Has the third uncle been promoted again?"
Everyone has been holding back this for a long time. When Zhou Cheng came back, they wanted to ask, but no one dared to ask him out loud. They felt that his return this time was even more terrifying, and he was murderous.
Pei Xiu looked at Zhou Cheng, who had a serious look on his face and kept away from strangers. He didn't hide it from everyone, and said with a smile, "Yes, I just got promoted to the third-rank general of Wuyi."
"My darling, a third-rank official!"
Everyone in the main room was full of surprise, and their hearts were filled with joy.
The third uncle in the family has become a third-rank official. If this is said, they will be honored. The county magistrate will probably be polite to them.
This Zhou Kang felt the deepest.
Uncle Zhou asked Zhou Kang, "How many officials is the county magistrate?"
"Seventh-rank official! Since Uncle Zhou became a Beijing official, the new county magistrate has always been polite to me."
The old lady Zhou also smiled proudly, she was born.
She was proud of herself, but she still held the air and did not speak easily, only listening to the sons and daughters-in-law in the lobby talking.
On Tuesday, my sister-in-law said beamingly: "This is a big happy event. The third uncle didn't say a word when he came back. Everyone didn't know. The village chief said before that he would open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, but when he saw the third uncle, he was so scary..."
On Tuesday, sister-in-law found that she was complacent for a while and said the wrong thing. She coughed a few words in fright, and stopped it with a smirk on her face.
On Tuesday, Brother said in a roundabout way: "The third brother's promotion is a great thing, and it is time to worship the ancestors. Dad has been talking about it before, when the third brother returns, he must open an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors and tell his ancestors."
"If the third brother has no opinion, I will speak to the village chief tomorrow."
Brother Zhou asked Zhou Cheng, but he looked at Pei Xiu.
Pei Xiu almost couldn't help laughing. She glanced at Zhou Cheng, who was helpless, and said with a smile, "Big brother and second brother, just make arrangements, we will pay the money you need."
Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't hold back and asked, "Third brothers and sisters, is the capital very lively and prosperous? Do you all make slaves call maids and live in big mansions?"
Everyone has long noticed that Sister Li and Ginkgo, who have been standing behind Pei Xiu, as well as a few unfamiliar servants in the yard, have long wanted to ask.
The old lady also stared at her with sharp eyes.
"Yeah, the capital is very lively and prosperous, but the expenses are also very high. Zhou Cheng's official position is there, and he also needs to be supported by the facade. The family also bought some servants to take care of the house, otherwise I would be too busy."
She admitted it generously, and no one believed her if she shied away from it.
Sister-in-law Zhou looked envious, "Three brothers and sisters are enjoying a great blessing..."
Although I have long known that Pei Xiu is enjoying happiness in the capital, I have heard that it is far from what she has seen with her own eyes, and what she said is believable.
It's a pity... it would be great if there was no separation.
This is also the voice of the rest of the Zhou family.
If there is no separation, everyone will be a family, and they can all go to the capital to enjoy happiness.
Now, hurt~
Only the old man and the old lady can go to the capital to enjoy happiness, but if the second old man goes, will Pei Xiu come back without gifts?
So what do they do?
They have been quite cheap in recent years.
Everyone is thinking in their hearts, and the old lady is also thinking about whether to follow the third child to the capital to enjoy happiness.
Pei Xiu looked at the people with different complexions, and only acted like they didn't know them.
Looking at the pile of children inside and outside the house, she said to Ginkgo: "Go to the car and bring the purse that has been prepared for a long time."
Then he smiled and said to Sister-in-law Zhou: "I have been away for a few years, and my family has brought in a lot of people, and I have never seen many of the younger generation. Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, so I can give them greetings. "
Sister-in-law Zhou smiled and couldn't close her mouth. It's good to have a greeting.
"Third siblings are polite. Let me tell you about the children in the big room first, and let your second sister-in-law tell you about the second room."
The juniors took turns to kowtow to her, and she sent each person a purse with a smile, which made the children very happy.
Everyone thought it was great that the third aunt came back. The family was even more festive than the Chinese New Year.
"Wow~ It's Silver Peanut~"
The ignorant child opened his purse on the spot.
The eyes of the adults are going to burst out. Silver can still be turned into peanuts. It’s so beautiful. This one has a tael of silver, right?
The three aunts are really generous!
Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Tuesday's smiles deepened~ The old lady was so jealous, this third daughter-in-law won't be missing her, right?
Not only children, but Pei Xiu also gave one to the new daughter-in-law who had just entered the house on Tuesday, making the new daughter-in-law very happy.
"Thank you third aunt, my niece and daughter-in-law accepted it cheekily!"
"Zhou Yu didn't come back..."
Before Pei Xiu finished speaking, a child in the yard shouted cheerfully towards the house: "Little aunt, little uncle is here."
"Yo~ Zhou Yu came here on the smell of the meeting ceremony, right?" Sister-in-law Tuesday said jokingly.
"What did the second aunt say about the meeting ceremony?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile because he didn't know.
"Your third aunt is giving gifts to the little dolls. As soon as I mentioned you, you came here. Isn't this what it smells like?"
"Really, then I came at the right time. It's better to come early than to come. I just caught up. If I missed it, it's time to shoot my thigh."
