Chapter 288 What a blessing

Little did they know that they were both wrong. It turned out that Old Man Han and Yang spread the news of Han Yu's return. The village chief thought that Han Yu was the most promising young man in their Xinhe Village. Now he was a captain of the sixth rank, a higher official than the county magistrate. Naturally, he had to line the streets to welcome him. So he led the villagers to do this, standing at the entrance of the village and beating gongs and drums to welcome Han Yu and his family back.

Han Yu and Su Wenyue also arrived at the entrance of the village. Seeing Old Man Han and Yang standing among the villagers beating gongs and drums with a smile on their faces, they understood what was going on and found it a little funny. Seeing the proud look of Old Man Han and Yang, one can imagine how glorious the Han family has been in the village during this period.

"Dad, Mom." Han Yu and Su Wenyue got off the carriage, and the three children were held in the carriage by the nanny. In such a cold day, even if they were wrapped in quilts, they were still afraid that the children would catch a cold.

"Okay, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother's wife, we finally got you back. The villagers are waiting for you here. Go home quickly. It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold. Are the children in the carriage?" Old Man Han and Yang couldn't help asking as soon as they saw their son and daughter-in-law. They had long wanted to see their three grandchildren. These were three blessed little ones. It was the first time they had seen three twins of a boy and a girl at this age. The fourth brother's wife was pregnant and gave them two big grandchildren. They looked eagerly into the carriage.

"Yes, let the nanny hold them in the carriage. It's too cold outside. The children are still young. I'm afraid they can't stand it." Su Wenyue said with a smile. It's normal for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to be anxious to see the children because they are eager to see their grandchildren.

"That's right. The child is young, so he should be more careful. It's so cold outside, don't let my grandson get frozen. Let's talk about it after we get home." Yang said this, but her eyes were reluctant to leave the carriage. But old man Han, knowing that his grandson was back, didn't bother about it for a moment and greeted everyone in the village.

"Everyone, listen to me. My fourth son is back today. Thank you for your respect and warm welcome. The family has prepared food. If you don't mind, come to my house for lunch. First, I want to thank you for your hospitality. Second, I want to celebrate my fourth son's promotion in the military camp. He will go to the capital. Let's have fun together."

In such a year, it is not easy for everyone to have enough to eat. Because of Su Wenyue, the Han family did not sell the grain at home. Su Wenyue sent rice, flour, grain and silver to old man Han and Yang every month, so they were quite well-off. This time, when they encountered such a big happy event, old man Han, Yang and the eldest couple discussed and prepared several tables of banquets to invite everyone in the village to have a meal. This is also because the fourth son and his wife are not in the village. Normally, the two eldest grandsons are born to have a full moon wine. This time, the fourth son has been promoted again, so he should treat everyone to a meal.

The Han family's old house was just as lively and busy. Liu really spent money this time and killed the New Year pig in advance. She didn't feel reluctant at all. Even Han Hu was surprised that his wife, who always liked to haggle over every penny, was so generous. Liu's sister-in-law also came to help early in the morning.

"Sister, don't be too honest. It costs so much to kill the New Year pig and set up a banquet. Life is getting harder and harder now. You can't just get carried away and spend all the savings at home." Liu's sister-in-law said to Liu when she saw no one was around. Because Liu still cared about her natal family and was quite generous to them, Liu's eldest sister-in-law didn't think that her sister-in-law was stingy. She said this for her sister-in-law's sake.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have a plan in mind and will not suffer any loss. I know that the fourth brother and his wife are not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others. If you are generous to them, they can only be more generous to you. Just look at what they have done these days. Although I am a selfish person, I am not ignorant of the good. If it weren't for the fourth brother's wife, we would not have the comfortable life we ​​have now if our family's grain had not been sold. Besides, since the separation of the family, the fourth brother and his wife have also subsidized our first room. Although it is mostly because of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, our first room has benefited after all."

"Since you think clearly, I won't say much. After all, I am thinking about you."

"I know that sister-in-law means well. By the way, I specially asked her to keep two pieces of good fat meat in the cabinet when we slaughtered the pig today. Sister-in-law, remember to bring them when you go back. I am afraid that you will forget them when you are busy." Liu is still very good to her own family.

"No, it's not easy for anyone to raise a pig, and we'll have to use up a lot of it today, and we'll have to save some for the New Year. If you really want to give it to me, leave me two big bones, and I'll take them back to make soup for your nephew." Liu Jinshi was not a greedy person. She thought of her sister-in-law's kindness and didn't want to take more things to make it difficult for her. If people saw it, they would say that her sister-in-law used her husband's things to subsidize her family. Even if her brother-in-law was generous, she still had her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"If you want bones, I'll give you a few. Take the meat, too. Don't worry. My father-in-law and mother-in-law know about it. They said it should be taken. If you don't kill a pig at home, you can't send a few pounds of meat to your family. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not so stingy. Besides, there are Lao Si and his wife, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law won't say anything."

"Is that so?" Liu Jinshi was still a little worried, but she was a little moved. After all, the family hadn't had meat for more than a month. It didn't matter to her, but she felt sorry for her husband and children.

"Sister-in-law, what you said, I can't lie to you, now I am the head of the family, my mother-in-law only has the little things in her hands, there is no need for her to take care of me, they will have to rely on me as their daughter-in-law in the future, the old lady is not stupid, there is no need to offend me because of this, not to mention how good I behaved today."

"That's good, there is an official in the family, your family life is better now, after all, you are blessed." Liu Jinshi was happy for Liu Shi, the better the sister-in-law's life was, the better it would be for them.

"Speaking of which, the fourth daughter-in-law is really blessed. She was born in a wealthy family, and when she married into her husband's family, she brought wealth to her husband's family. She is also very fertile. She looked weak, but she gave birth to three children in one pregnancy, two of whom are sons. Her position in the Han family is stable. My mother-in-law now treats the fourth daughter-in-law as a lucky star. She used to have some opinions about her, but now she doesn't care so much. She wants to treat her like a treasure. She also told me to get closer to the fourth daughter-in-law to get some blessings and give our Han family another grandson, so that the family line of the first house will not be cut off." When Liu talked about Su Wenyue, there was only envy in her eyes. Thinking of the fact that she had only given birth to two daughters so far, her face was filled with sorrow.
