Chapter 86 Get together

At this time, Jiaojiao in the yard heard the sound of the carriage, and shouted into the house with a smile: "Mother, our carriage is back."

"Let's go, go out and meet your aunt Xiu..."

When Liu Zhihua rushed to the door with the children, Mu Cheng's family had already got off the carriage, and they were smiling and looking at the magnificent courtyard.

"Auntie."

"Aunt Xiu, Uncle."

"Aunt Xiu, Uncle..."

The children obediently called out to say hello, Liu Zhihua pulled her younger sister and smiled and said, "Xiuhua, your complexion is getting better and better."

Xiuhua's complexion became a little more rosy, and she took her sister's hand and patted it excitedly, and said with emotion and joy: "Sister, I heard brother-in-law talk about your family on the way, after all, God has favored our sisters and our two families. The days are getting better."

Liu Zhihua nodded with a smile, "Yes, our sister appointment will get better and better in the future."

Wang Zhuangzhi still had to go to the town to pick up Qiusheng and Wei Qing, and on the way back he picked up Mrs. Liu's family, and after talking to his brother-in-law with a smile, he drove the carriage away in a hurry.

Liu Zhihua led her sister into the house,

Behind him, Mu Kuan also walked in with Xiao Li in his arms, and Erya followed beside him, curiously asking Uncle, "Uncle, the story you told a few days ago was really nice, is there anything else interesting?" ?”

Mu Kuan smiled heartily, touched the back of Erya's head, and said cheerfully: "It's rare that Erya likes to listen. I'll come into the room and tell you about it."

Erya's dark eyes were full of anticipation, and she nodded with a smile and said "yes".

Jiaojiao followed Mu Cheng, Mu Cheng was very energetic with a smile on his face, wearing a blue shirt, very much like those students in the town.

Jiaojiao raised her head and asked him limply: "Cousin Cheng, have you also gone to the school in the town?"

"Yeah, my brother has gone to school, and he is in the same school as my cousin Qiusheng. In the future, we brothers will take care of each other."

Mu Cheng smiled when he talked about the school, and pulled his sister by the sleeve to help her up the steps, "Jiaojiao, walk slowly."

"Thank you, cousin Cheng~"

Mu Cheng is very happy to have such a delicate and sweet sister.

In the past, he was the only one in the family. There were no relatives on Mother's side, and there were cousins ​​on Father's side. There was always interest in the exchanges, and every time he came to the door, he borrowed money. When their family was in trouble, they slipped away faster than anyone else.

When he suddenly found out that he had an aunt, he didn't have much hope in his heart. He never thought that his aunt's family was very nice, his cousin Qiu Sheng took good care of him in the academy, and these lovely younger brothers and sisters. In short, he loved everyone. like very much.

…

At noon, all the family members gathered together.

Wang Zhuangzhi bought firecrackers from the town, and after setting off the firecrackers, a group of children ran to the backyard to play.

The gift Liu Laoxiu gave was a chessboard, which happened to be crowded with people, and they all gathered around to play chess.

Xiuhua and Aunt Liu rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen to help Zhihua prepare meals together.

"Hey, what are you doing here? I have all the dishes ready, and the only thing I need is stew. How nice it is for you to go out and crack sunflower seeds and eat cakes."

Liu Zhihua pushed people out while talking, there is no reason to ask people to help with cooking.

"Zhihua, you are too out of touch. Could it be that with such a magnificent courtyard, you also regard us as outsiders."

Aunt Liu has always been eloquent, but she will be an outsider if she is not allowed to keep it.

Xiuhua also smiled and said: "Sister, we are idle when we are idle, and we can chat about household chores when we come in to help."

Liu Zhihua smiled helplessly and said loudly: "Well, if you still blame me for letting you sit and enjoy the blessings, then follow me to work in the kitchen, and you are not allowed to scream if you get your sleeves dirty."

"Don't be afraid of getting dirty, just keep it and let Zhihua wash it..."

"Don't talk about it, it's better to be in this courtyard. Look at the kitchen is big enough, and the three stoves are so exquisite. It's much easier to cook a meal, and it's better than the earthen stoves in our village."

"Hey, these mushrooms grow really well. I'll cook you my special dish, fried mushrooms, which are more fragrant than meat..."

Several people were chatting and laughing, the kitchen was full of laughter, and it was very lively while cooking and chatting about household chores.

backyard,

Qiusheng bought pens and paper for his younger siblings. The pavilion in the backyard was big enough, so he moved the wooden table from the house. When Mu Cheng didn’t keep up with his lessons, he and Wei Qing taught them how to read and write together.

Erya would peek at Wei Qing from time to time.

Among all the boys that Erya knew, apart from the elder brothers and younger brothers, only Wei Qing didn't laugh at her for having a dark face. Every time he talked to her, he was always gentle and smiling, and he looked good when he was studying. Can't help being happy.

Liu Weiqing sensed Erya's gaze and thought she couldn't write, so she smiled and asked, "Erya, you can't write?"

Erya was taken aback by being caught, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Yes."

Then he lowered his head, grabbed the pen and started writing, his cheeks were already burning red.

Liu Weiqing looked at Erya's ears and neck were red, after all, she was a thirteen-year-old boy, and after so many years of reading, she sometimes secretly bought the bookstore's Liaozhai booklets, so she could realize something.

He pursed his lips and scratched his head, but didn't say anything more, and walked over to help Qiusheng tutor Mu Cheng with his homework.

Erya watched the person leave from the corner of her eye, raised her hand and rubbed her ears, feeling so ashamed.

Jiaojiao looked at her sister like this, and looked at Brother Wei Qing curiously, a little confused, what does it mean.

"Well~" Xiao Li obediently followed the writing at first, but after persisting for a while, he scratched his hair a little frizzy.

Until the smell of rice came from the front yard, his eyes lit up and his mouth licked. While his elder brother was not paying attention, he secretly dropped his pen and slipped outside.

When Qiu Sheng saw it, he had already run a long way.

Qiu Sheng smiled helplessly, then walked over to pick up the paper written by the younger brother and looked at it, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

I saw that it was like a ghostly drawn talisman, painted everywhere, and there were no words at all, and a few crooked fish with long legs were painted on the corners.

Erya saw that elder brother was looking at Xiao Li's paper, so she sneaked over to take a look, and then covered her stomach and laughed, "Haha, it looks like the yellow talisman used by Taoist priests to cast spells, and the fish has grown legs..."

Others also came to see it curiously, and each of them couldn't help laughing. They patted the eldest brother with a charming smile to appease him: "Don't be angry, brother. I'll write another picture when I punish my brother after eating."

"Jiaojiao is right, I will punish him to write another one later."

Qiu Sheng put the piece of paper away with a smile, and turned around to stick it in Xiao Li's room. It could be regarded as a souvenir, and when he grew up, he would show him the masterpieces of that year.

Several people were talking, Xiao Li ran back excitedly, his cheeks were bulging, and he yelled while eating: "We can eat, the fried mushrooms made by Auntie Xiu are delicious."

Mu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard that his mother's fried mushrooms were his favorite, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Let's go, my mother's fried mushrooms are excellent, they are delicious, crispy and topped with fragrant sesame chili noodles .”

"Wow, I want to eat!"

"I also want…"

Everyone has never eaten, and I heard that everyone is running towards the front yard.
