"Uncle, you have to take good care of the house!"

"Qing Jie'er, don't dawdle." Lin Yuzan, who was worried about her daughter, pulled her daughter away from Leng Yi and gave Leng Yi a warning look not to touch his daughter. "Three meat buns, six coins."

Xiao Yining: "..."

Leng Yi: "..."

Wan Niang: "..."

Some things take a few days to get used to.

There are some words you get used to hearing over and over again.

Leng Yi picked up a hot meat bun with a wooden face and stuffed it into his mouth.

Wan Niang smiled apologetically at this fake cousin and pushed her husband out helplessly.

The funeral couplets on their doorstep had been taken down yesterday, which also indicated that the three-year mourning period was over. Today, the uncle asked Hu Ge'er to come over and invite them to dinner.

Xiao Yining was quite looking forward to this family dinner, as she would have the braised pork she had been craving for.

"Dad, if we raise a dog, then my cousin can go to my great uncle's house with us for dinner!"

Lin Yuzan looked down at her and said, "You don't need to keep a dog. Your uncle is here."

“……” As expected of her father, he has a very vicious tongue.

Xiao Yining lowered his head and stopped talking.

It is often said that opposites attract and likes repel. She used to have a little doubt, but now that there is a real example, she really thinks this saying makes sense.

But her fellow villager, my father said, is only ten years old this year.

This makes her feel that her cheap dad is a bit petty and narrow-minded.

No, her father seems a little abnormal.

What conflict could there be between a 21-year-old young man and a 10-year-old child?

Lin Yuzan was chatting with his uncle at the moment.

"Uncle..." little Yining called obediently.

Linford responded indifferently. He didn't like the child born in the mourning period at all.

Aunt Cai came out and stuffed a red envelope into the little Yining’s pocket when she saw her. “This is Qingjie’s first time here. This is a gift from Uncle and Aunt.”

"Thank you, uncle." Little Yining took the red envelope with a smile, having earned n coins today.

"Don't stand at the door. Your second uncle and third uncle are waiting for you inside."

Was her dead grandfather the fourth child?

Wanniang carried her daughter into the house.

There were already countless people sitting in the room chatting.

This was also the first time that Xiao Yining saw so many relatives. The place was packed and almost full.

At this time, an old lady sitting at the highest point said, "Now that everyone is here, let's eat."

Little Yining felt dizzy for a while and was put next to the table for female guests by her mother.

There were three tables in the room, one for men, one for women, and one for children, but there was still not enough space for everyone to sit.

There are so many people here. Little Yining feels that his father belongs to a big family.

Wan Niang brought her daughter to recognize people. Her grandfather was the fifth child and the youngest child of her great grandfather. He was 20 years younger than her great uncle and was the most favored child in the family. The eldest grandson and the eldest son were not just talk. Because of this, when her grandfather insisted on marrying her grandmother, he had a falling out with the family and completely hurt her great grandfather and great grandmother. As a result, her family is still not favored by the elderly. Just like now, little Yining was glanced at by her great grandmother several times, from head to toe. It was obvious that she was not a kind and friendly old man.

Whenever Grandma looked at her, Xiao Yining would smile sweetly. When others got into trouble, they often said they saw Grandma, but this was true. As for the unhappy look, she didn't take it to heart at all. The older people get, the weirder their temper becomes.

"You have no respect for your elders. No matter how old you are, you are still in your mother's arms. Go to the table next to you and let Ah Shi take care of you." Grandma Zheng said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yishi, the little granddaughter of her great uncle, stood up and was about to come over to take little Yining away.

"Grandma, Qingjie can't eat by herself yet, so I'm holding her." Wan Niang explained. Her daughter was still young, and she couldn't be put at the children's table. There were so many children and there was no room for them to sit. It would be bad if she was pushed to the ground and got hurt.

"A loving mother spoils her son, huh." Zheng gave Xiao Yining another glare. I don't know who Fushun looks like. He can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman and has to marry her home. The same goes for his grandson. He is not poor and has no food to eat, but he actually goes to marry a girl from a mountain village that no one wants. It's really shameful and brings shame to their family. The baby he gave birth to is so spoiled. It looks like he will be a disaster when he grows up.

"Grandma, my parents said that you are the most beautiful grandma in the village, and they asked me to look at you more, because when I go home, I won't be able to see you anymore."

Everyone "..."

The old man sitting in the main seat spat out the tea he had just drunk.

Zheng's looks are average, and she looks even more droopy when she gets older. She has a tense face all day long, and there are lines on her face. She can't be said to be pretty, nor can she be said to be kind and gentle. But it is possible that she has a mean face.

The little kid continued, "My parents told me to look more and more beautiful. I will be as beautiful as my grandmother in the future. I will be the most beautiful person in the whole village and I will be like my grandmother. I want to sit with my grandmother."

Even if you wear it a thousand times, you will never wear it.

When Zheng heard what the little girl said, she almost couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

The men all looked at Lin Yuzan speechlessly. This kid was taught so well how to flatter.

Lin Yuzan drank his tea calmly, not affected at all. Wanniang, on the other hand, blushed with shame and lowered her head under the countless gazes.

Little Yining seemed to be unaware that what she said was seriously wrong. She touched her small purse and took out a small box from it. It was the perfume her father bought for her a few days ago. There were two in total, and she took one out this time. She struggled to get off the ground, clattered to the serious grandmother and said, "Grandma, this is a gift from Qingjieer for you. You will be more beautiful after applying it."

Zheng looked at the small box in the little boy's hand. Although she was illiterate, she knew that it was the ointment in the treasure pavilion. She saw her eldest grandson's wife secretly apply it. Seeing how much she loved it, it must have cost a lot of money. She had heard a few days ago that Zan'er's wife was too generous in her life, and it seemed to be true. Her youngest son's wife died early and no one took care of her. After the family was divided, it was not easy for her to take care of the affairs of her grandson's room. She was also the old lady in her eldest son's house. Zheng put away the box without changing her expression and said, "Well, your parents are thoughtful. Let's eat."

"..." Little Yining raised his eyebrows and walked back to his mother.

Wan Niang gave her a reproachful look, then picked her up and sat beside her like a quail. Although she was the master of the house, she had no say here, as they were all elders.

Master Lin looked at Xiao Yining's actions and said nothing. He just mumbled, "Let's eat."

At this time, Lin Yuzan stood up and said to his grandfather, "Grandfather, this is the tea cake I bought in the provincial capital. I know you like it, so I found it specially."

He took out a tea cake wrapped in red paper from his sleeve and handed it to Grandpa Lin. Grandpa Lin put it to his nose and sniffed it. The wrinkles on his face tightened together. The smile that was suppressed on Grandma's face appeared on Grandpa Lin. "It's Lu'an Guapian. When I was young in the capital, I drank it with your second clan grandfather. At that time..."

Master Lin held the tea cake in his hand, lost in memories and talked eloquently. Although he is already seventy-eight years old, his memory is still quite good.

This is how older people are, once they start talking they can't stop and want to talk about everything.

Little Yining didn't have any food until dark, but she was an adult at heart and could still endure it, clinging to her mother and sitting obediently. The other children didn't have such good self-control, and they were all making small moves.

It was not until my eldest uncle could no longer bear it and reminded me twice that my great grandfather finally stopped talking. In the end, he just sighed and said, "Each generation is really worse than the previous one. No one in my family has passed the imperial examination for three generations, and they are still so unruly. Alas..."

"..." The uncles and aunts were helpless.

I didn't expect that this Zan Ge'er would be more trouble-making than his father. He deceived everyone and no one could point out his mistakes.
