Chapter 2995 Family Banquet

Lao Zhoutou sat on a small stool and cut the medicine, and sighed halfway through the cut.

Qian Shi ignored him and she was cutting the medicine, so Old Zhou Tou sighed again.

Qian raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong with you, the fifth wife said that these medicines are urgently needed, and they will be used to grind them into powder to make ointments."

Only then did Lao Zhoutou speed up the action of cutting the medicine, but he couldn't help but say, "You think we really want to split up?"

Qian Shi did not speak.

Old Zhoutou was unwilling in his heart, he muttered: "We are all still alive..."

I always feel that after the separation of the family, the family will be separated, and now there is no separation. Take it to heart.

But if the family is separated, these things will have to be discussed again, otherwise, if there are too many things divided, it is inevitable that there will be some knots in my heart.

Old Zhoutou knew that he was not as smart as the old wife, so he asked her, "Not to mention, if the family is separated, the business of making ointments will be the fourth and fifth family, and Man Baolijun and the others, the two of us. Cut medicine for them at home every day, will they have no opinion after a long time?"

Therefore, the elderly in the village will not be separated as long as they are still there. The main reason is that they pay taxes on service, and the second reason is that it is difficult for the elderly to do it.

The family is separated, how many brothers are there, does the old man help the old man with the work, or does he help the second child? What about the old three?

Especially since they have six sons.

He can spread his hands and say that he will follow his daughter in the future, but he can't go to Qingzhou to follow Man Bao right now, so it is also too difficult to help this family but not the other family.

And... Lao Zhoutou muttered: "I just want to cut the medicine..."

Like the old man, he can't do the kitchen work. The second and third are all working in the fields. He can help, but he doesn't want to do it. He is too tired. He is at his age and can enjoy happiness. , why do you have to work in the fields again?

Therefore, no matter how good the family is, there is still one labor service every year.

No matter what work he does, he does it for all his children in the end, because part of the money he earns in the end will be handed over to the public and shared with everyone.

Seeing that he was so aggrieved, Qian said, "Ask the children first."

"Why do you want to ask them?" Old Zhou Tou said, "We are still alive, we just need to make up our minds, just listen to Man Bao and put all the business in the family under Lijun's name. Is it in her name too?"

Qian said: "Now the family is rich, and the children have their own livelihoods. I don't know what they think. I always have to ask. I also think it's good to not separate families, but they always have to be willing."

She said: "So many properties are handed over to Lijun at once. If they are unwilling, it will be a bad thing."

The old Zhoutou muttered: "Didn't you say before that you are not allowed to split up?"

Qian Shi got angry, slammed the knife into the chopping board, and asked, "When did I get rid of it? Has the family ever split up? When was that time, when was this time? When was that time? There is nothing in the family, separation is like courting death, and now even if the family is separated, they can live well..."

"Okay, everything you said is right." Old Zhoutou learned from her that Man Bao always forgets things.

Thursday Lang received a letter saying that there was a big incident at home and asked him to come back to discuss the big matter, so he handed over the caravan to the three sons and asked them to continue to wait for the people from the Western Regions in Xiazhou, so he took two people and hurried back .

On the other hand, Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang entrusted the family affairs to the village chief, and then went with the caravan from Shangjing.

The two parties came to the capital one after the other, but they had been in the capital for two days, and Lao Zhoutou didn't say anything about it.

Of course, the old Zhou family had no secrets, and they soon learned the reason from their respective wives and children.

In the past two days, their hearts were on fire, and they all had ideas, but they didn't know what the other brothers had in mind.

Qian felt that since everyone had already arrived, there was no need to drag them out. After they had rested for two days, they had recovered, and after their respective families had also discussed it, she asked Xiao Qian to cook earlier and return the meal. Call the three married sisters Zhou Lixin, Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru home to discuss the matter together.

Lao Zhou has many family members, including the young children, and sat at three tables for the whole time.

Mr. Qian sat in the first seat, and seeing that they had almost eaten, he turned to look at Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhoutou put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

When the juniors saw this, they also put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Old Zhoutou saw a few young grandsons and waved directly: "They can't sit still, let them go out to play by themselves, since everyone is at home today and the grandsons-in-law are here, let's talk together. "

Fang Shi immediately asked Liutou to take his brother, nephews and nieces out to play.

Liutou tightened his face and led a group of children out with a serious look, "Don't be noisy, Grandpa and the others are going to talk about something big, let's go play in the garden."

"Then can I go to Grandma Zheng to play?" The Zheng family likes children very much, and always gives them snacks. The Zhou family's children used to like the auntie the most, but now they like the Zheng family the most.

Liutou also liked the Zheng family, so he nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Inside the room, the old Zhoutou said, "You should all know why your family told you to go back to the capital."

At first, the letter was read in front of Zhou Dalang and Friday Lang and Saturday Lang. Old Zhoutou said this mainly to Tuesday Lang, Wednesday Lang and Thursday Lang, he said: "Your sister said it, and now what she and your brother-in-law are doing is offending. People's business, the family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it may happen at some point. So I have to find a way to avoid it."

"Among the old people, Sanniang is an official. After Lizhong, I will go back to Luojiang County to test the county government office. Lixue has already filled the office, so I can't get involved with the business. The second family, Liru is married. , this matter has no effect on her, but in the future, Liwei's children will always have to study as examiners, right?"

Now Lao Zhou has two grandsons who are officials, as well as a granddaughter and grandson-in-law who are officials. He has long raised his heart. He feels that his family is rich now and can afford the children's education. In the future, his great grandson will definitely want to reading examiner.

"Moreover, Man Bao sent a letter saying that Li Wei is now following his uncle, and there may be good fortune in the future, so Erlang's family should pay more attention," said the old Zhoutou, "Not to mention the third family, Ligu has become an official, and now His younger brother is still literate, and he will follow Man Bao to study medicine in the future."

After the old Zhoutou finished speaking, he looked at Wutou and asked, "Wutou, is what Grandpa said right?"

Wutou nodded, "Yes."

Old Zhoutou was satisfied and looked at the remaining three sons, "Your children are still young, but they must be ready now, fourth, now the family's business is mainly done by you, you said, you Are you going to drop a merchant, or what?"

Thursday Lang immediately said: "Of course, you can't drop the merchant."
