Chapter 2260 Recognizing relatives
Ma Li introduced her natal team, Dad Li and Uncle Li, Uncle Li greeted Grandma Zhou, and they all called Grandma Zhou "mother-in-law", and the younger generations of the Li family called Grandma Zhou "mother-in-law".
After getting acquainted with Li Chunxiu's family, Grandma Zhou asked the guests to sit down. She went back to the kitchen to take the pig food off the stove, washed rice and cooked it, and then ran to the door to look around.
After looking around for a while, he saw that the people coming from the road behind the village seemed to be his son and daughter-in-law, and he trotted towards them in the cold wind.
Brother Zhou and Ms. Li were walking at a normal speed. When they saw their old mother running towards them, they quickly picked up their pace.
The three met soon after.
Brother Zhou hurriedly asked: "Mom, what makes you so anxious?"
Grandma Zhou took a breath and looked at her daughter-in-law: "Chunxiu, your mother-in-law's family is here to see you, your mother-in-law and your two uncles Mom, and your brothers, they are waiting at home, go back quickly."
Ms. Li was shocked: "I...Mom...they are here?!"
She wrote a letter back, but she never received a reply. She thought that her family had moved and the letter had not fallen into the hands of her family members, or that her family members complained that she had never returned to her parents' home after marrying far away, and they did not want to talk to her anymore.
"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a while since I got home. Come home quickly." Grandma Zhou urged again.
Brother Zhou also urged and quickened his pace.
Ms. Li also trotted and returned to the door of the house. She was still in a trance. She was led by Zhou Xialong and her mother-in-law into the house and walked to the entrance of the upper hall. When she heard familiar voices coming from the lower room, she suddenly screamed. Ji Ling came back to his senses.
She almost ran across the patio and ran to the door of the lower hall. When she saw the man and woman sitting in the room, she shouted, "Mom, Dad, Mom and Dad!" and started crying.
When Li Ma and others heard the footsteps, they also guessed that their mother-in-law and Zhou Xialong might have returned. They looked at the patio, saw Li Chunxiu, and stood up together.
"Chunxiu/Xiu."
"Yaomei."
"Xiuxiu."
Li's mother, Li's uncle, Li's second uncle, shouted, her eyes turning red.
The eyes of the Li brothers and cousins also changed.
Hearing the calls from her family, Ms. Li rushed over, threw herself into the arms of her aunt who loved her most, and burst into tears.
Uncle Li was also in tears. Her niece was crying and coaxing her: "Xiu, it's okay, it's all over. It's all over." Mrs. Li was also crying while
persuading her.
Mother Li cried first, then grabbed her daughter and poked her daughter with her fingers. She poked, beat and scolded her: "You damn girl, you are quite capable! You got married right away, and you still have to spend your life with her." After living like that, you were trampled to the ground without even saying a word to your parents. Is your mouth stitched?
Growing up, your mother, your eldest, your brothers were not willing to touch you, and you were all over the house. You have to be able to go to heaven, but after getting married, you are as cowardly as a pig when you get to the Zhang family. You have been driven out as a cow and horse for more than ten years. You are so promising! You still have the nerve to feel wronged? You cry like a P..."
"His third aunt, just scold her a few times. Don't go too far. Chunxiu has suffered so much and she knows she is wrong. Why don't you just change it after you know it..." The sister-in-law was scolding her niece.
Li The eldest uncle and the second uncle Li let her scold her at first, but seeing that she had no intention of stopping, they hurriedly protected their niece.
Dad Li didn’t scold anyone, nor did he persuade him.
The brothers neither persuaded nor coaxed the sister, and first asked the mother/third aunt/third aunt to scold the sister to calm down her anger.
Li's mother only hit her a few times before she was stopped by her two sisters-in-law. She sat down and cried, the child was the flesh that fell from her mother's body, how could she not feel pain.
Uncle Li let go of her niece and motioned her niece to say a few soft words to her parents.
Ms. Li turned around and hugged her father. She didn't say anything, she just cried.
Dad Li had a fierce face at first, but he surrendered in less than three minutes and coaxed his old daughter.
Ms. Li hugged her mother and cried again. She was pushed a few times and refused to move away. After being beaten by the girl and crying, Li's mother's anger subsided and her face softened.
When the brothers saw this, they immediately went to coax their sister.
After the brothers coaxed their sister, they sat down and asked Li Chunxiu to talk about life in the Zhang family in detail. For a while, everyone in the Li family had mixed feelings.
They spoke the local dialect of Long Province, which others could not understand.
Brother Zhou and Grandma Zhou had also arrived at the patio when Li Chunxiu ran down to the house. When they heard them speaking in dialect, the mother and son did not follow them and let Li Chunxiu talk to his family first.
Brother Zhou pushed his motorcycle out of the house and went to the street to buy vegetables. Li Chunxiu's family came, so they naturally had to prepare several dishes. There was no time to kill the chickens and ducks at noon, and even if there was time, they would not be able to catch the chickens and ducks.
It was the New Year, and there were vendors selling meat, fish, chicken, and duck on the streets.
Brother Zhou arrived a little late. The pork front legs and tenderloins were gone, only the hind legs and pork belly. He bought pork hind legs and pork belly, and bought ten fish.
After buying the meat, I went to Grandma Cao's house and took Grandma Cao and Cao Qingyue and Cao Bingyue to Zhou's house.
After her son went to the street, Grandma Zhou set up two tables in the upper room, lit a brazier, and went to the garden to pick two handfuls of vegetables.
Grandma Cao was very excited when she heard that Li Chunxiu's family was here. When she arrived at the door of Zhou's house, she didn't rush forward and took her granddaughter to wait for Zhou Xialong.
Brother Zhou locked the car, carried his things and entered the house. He heard the voices of Li Chunxiu and her family talking from the lower room. There was no crying, so they must have calmed down.
He put the things at the door of the kitchen first, and wanted to send Granny Cao and her two stepdaughters to the lower hall. When he saw his mother lighting a brazier in the upper hall, he called Li Chunxiu: "Chunxiu, I will bring Granny Cao and Qingyue Bingyue over here." My mother has lit a brazier in the upper room. Please invite the children's grandparents and uncles to sit in the upper room so that Qingyue and Bingyue can recognize their relatives." After hearing Zhou Xialong's words, Li Chunxiu finally changed from the first meeting
. The mother-in-law's family recovered from the mixed feelings of surprise and guilt, and hurriedly explained to their parents and aunt's brothers that Granny Cao was her godmother.
When the four elders of the Li family heard that Granny Cao, who had saved their daughter and grandson, had arrived, they hurriedly took their children out of the lower hall and went to the upper hall of the Zhou family to meet Granny Cao.
The son picked up Granny Cao, and Grandma Zhou accompanied Granny Cao to meet Li Chunxiu's family.
Cao Qingyue and Cao Bingyue were waiting with Grandma and Grandma Zhou at the side of the hall. Grandma Zhou said which one was grandma, which one was grandpa, which one was eldest grandma. She immediately said "grandma, grandpa", "eldest grandma", "second grandma" and "uncle is good" all the way. passed.
Hearing the word "Grandma," Li's mother, Li's uncle, and Li's uncle responded with choked sobs, rushed up to hug the two girls, one older and one younger, and started crying again.
Cao Qingyue's impression of her grandmother, grandfather and uncles only came from her mother's mouth. Because it was the first time they met, she was relatively calm.
Cao Bingyue was still young, and she cried when she saw her mother crying.
When the uncles of the Li family saw their nephew, they were excited and sad, and they tried to comfort their elders with persuasion and coaxing.
The three older women of the Li family finally managed to hold back their tears and met Granny Cao again. They held Granny Cao's hand and thanked her profusely, shedding tears while saying thank you.
Grandma Cao also cried with her and persuaded Li Chunxiu's family for a while. They all sat down in the main room and talked slowly.
After his mother-in-law's family sat down, Brother Zhou went to see his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncles.
Father Li, Mother Li, the eldest aunt and uncle of the Li family, and several brothers had a very good first impression of Zhou Xialong and Grandma Zhou. No one was trying to act like their elders or eldest uncles.
Brother Zhou accepted the marriage and asked Granny Cao and my mother to accompany Li Chunxiu's family. He took the meat and fish he had just bought back to the kitchen and started making lunch.
Everyone in the Li family calmed down and took out red envelopes to give to their grandsons/nephews. One red envelope was given to each person as a greeting gift. Not only the Cao sisters but also Zhou Tianming also had a share.
Zhou Tianming’s share was collected by Grandma Zhou.
Brother Zhou worked for more than an hour, making braised pork, boiled pork slices, braised fish, and then cut the braised pork that was made a few days ago, and used the ribs hot pot soup as the base, and had hot pot for lunch.
Zhou Xialong is pragmatic, Li's father, Li's mother, Li's aunt and uncle's wife are very satisfied with their cheap son-in-law/niece-in-law, and they can't find any faults when looking horizontally or vertically.
Le Xiao’s classmate didn’t know how to spy on the whole village. At first, she didn’t know that Ms. Li’s family was coming. When she and Grandma Zhang San were having family time, she heard something going on at Grandma Zhou’s house. After paying a little attention, she realized that it was Ms. Li’s family who came to visit her relatives. , was also a little surprised.
Little Loli pretended not to know for the time being and stayed at Zhang's house for a long time before wandering home.
Leshan attended class for a long time in the morning. After class, he clung to his sister. After dinner, he became her sister's little pendant.
Classmate Le carried her clingy brother up to the second floor. The handsome guys were still busy collecting information. She drew drawings and let her brother move around freely.
Yan Laoyan also went up to the second floor to drink tea and play chess, which was very leisurely.
Li Zhao brought a brazier and placed it on the second floor. He played a building block game with his junior brother and had a full conversation in a foreign language. He played the game and practiced his language expression skills.
The Zhou family didn't have time to make ten bowls of dishes at noon, but the lunch was still enjoyed by both the host and the guests.
After cleaning up the housework and sitting with Li Chunxiu's mother-in-law for a while, Brother Zhou visited the Le family and told his sister and brother-in-law about Li Chunxiu's mother-in-law's visit.
What he meant was to tell Uncle Man and Ba in advance that he would also tell Uncle Man and Ba about making an appointment for everyone to have a meal at his house at noon tomorrow.
That day is the New Year, and basically every family celebrates the New Year at their own homes. Guests from the Le family will not go to other people's homes for dinner, so the Le family members naturally have to celebrate the festival at home.
"Brother, I understand. Brother Leshan and I will take Leshan there tomorrow. Lele's deskmate will get married tomorrow. She will go to Han City tomorrow morning, but Lele won't go." Zhou Qiufeng heard that her sister-in-law's family was here. I was quite surprised and didn’t refuse.
"Lele won't be at home tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." Brother Zhou knew that Lele would not be at home tomorrow, so he hesitated and decided to set another date.
"There's no need to change it. Lele has to attend a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. After tomorrow's lunch at our tablemate's wedding banquet, we will go to the capital and won't go back to Jiudao." "Well, we can only wait until we have the
opportunity to have dinner together in the future." Brother Zhou also understands how busy Xiao Lele is. She has many connections and social activities are indispensable.
Knowing that Xiao Lele didn't have time to have dinner together on New Year's Day, Brother Zhou sat at Le's house for a short while, then went to Uncle Man's house and Ba Shu's house to talk, but also only stayed for a short while, and hurried home to prepare dinner.
