Zhang Hulan said hurriedly: "Why are you all outside? Please come in and sit down."
Zhang Hulan scolded Zhang Xinyao, "Xinyao, how can you let the guests stay outside? Didn't mother teach you how to receive guests?"
Ye Hongyun said hurriedly, "Don't accuse Xinyao, we just wanted to stay outside for a while.
The scenery outside was nice, and they also wanted to go fishing, so we didn’t go inside.”
Then Ye Hongyun introduced, "This is Xingren's father and mother, and that is Xingren's younger brother."
Zhang Hulan quickly bowed, "Greetings, Lord Marquis, and Madam Marquis!"
Ye Hongling smiled and said, "You are Dahua's aunt, right? We are relatives now, so don't call me Marquis Madam. Just call me sisters."
Then Ye Hongling said to Wang Xingren: "Xingren, why don't you introduce him to us?"
Wang Xingren quickly introduced all the members of the Zhang family, and finally introduced Zhang Dahua, "Mom, this is Dahua."
"Well, he's a good kid!"
Ye Hongling smiled and nodded, then put a bracelet on Zhang Dahua's wrist.
Zhang Dahua blushed, "Thank you, thank you, mother!"
"Okay, okay!" Ye Hongling was very happy and had a very good first impression of Zhang Dahua.
Zhang Dahua is not very pretty, but she looks very quiet and has a good personality.
Zhang Hulan said, "Why don't we go inside and talk, and let the Marquis and Lord Wu go fishing here."
Li asked Zhang Hulan in a low voice, "Big sister, lunch..."
Zhang Hulan said, "I have lunch here, and my sister-in-law will prepare dinner in the afternoon."
When the in-laws come, they will definitely go to Zhang Hujun's house for dinner, but they are now at Zhang Hulan's place, so Zhang Hulan has to prepare lunch.
Zhang Xinyue ran over and gestured excitedly, "Mom, Brother Xiaojun caught such a big fish, please grill it for us."
Ye Hongyun said, "Since the children want to play here, let's all play here with them."
Since the guests wanted to play here, Zhang Hulan asked Aunt Tao and others to bring some stools and serve tea.
Then they went to see the fish they had caught.
"Mom, look, is this fish big?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "It's not small. We can make pickled fish for lunch."
"Sour fish?" Zhang Xinyue's eyes lit up. "Mom, what kind of fish is sour fish? Is it as delicious as grilled fish?"
The grilled fish Zhang Xinyue was talking about was not real grilled fish, it was just fish skewered on wooden sticks and grilled over fire.
Zhang Hulan grilled them for a few children when she had nothing to do.
To make real grilled fish, you need a grilled fish rack and a copper pot.
Zhang Xiaobing said, "Aunt, I still want to eat grilled fish."
"I'll grill some smaller ones for you later."
Wu Deyong looked like a frequent fisherman, and he caught a few fish in a short while.
But they are not big, they are crucian carp and small carp.
Zhang Xinyue and the others did not let the little fish go, and asked Zhang Xiaojun to kill it and roast it for food.
The adults didn't take care of the children and let them play by themselves.
Wang Xingren also played with the children, and Zhang Dahua was helping them apply seasoning.
Wang Xingyao came to Zhang Dahua's side without knowing when, and called out with a wink, "Sister-in-law..."
Zhang Dahua was so shy that her face immediately turned red when she heard the word "sister-in-law".
Seeing Zhang Dahua was shy, Wang Xingyao continued to shout, "Sister-in-law..."
Wang Xingyao shouted several times in a row, and Zhang Dahua had no choice but to respond.
"Um!"
As a result, Wang Xingyao continued to shout, "Sister-in-law..."
Zhang Dahua asked, "Do you have anything?"
Wang Xingyao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to give me a gift?"
"Ah? A meeting gift?"
Only then did Zhang Dahua realize that this was Wang Xingren's younger brother, and as his sister-in-law, she seemed to want to give him a gift.
Zhang Dahua felt around her body but didn't find anything valuable or special.
On her wrist was the bracelet that Ye Hongling had just given her, and around her waist was the jade pendant that Wang Xingren had given her. These could not be given away.
Seeing Zhang Dahua's embarrassed look, Wang Xingyao said kindly: "Sister-in-law, it's okay to give silver."
"Give me money?"
Zhang Dahua immediately poured out some change from her purse.
Now she gets paid every month, so she always carries some money with her.
There wasn't much change, probably only about three or four taels in total.
Wang Xingyao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "That's enough, sister-in-law, you don't have to give too much, this is enough."
Zhang Dahua was a little confused. Just like that, all the change in her purse was taken away by Wang Xingyao.
Wang Xingyao put the silver in his arms. He didn't think one hundred or eighty taels were too much, and one or two taels were not too little.
He had very little pocket money and usually lived by robbing his brother.
Wang Xingren saw Wang Xingyao was sneaking around Zhang Dahua, so he walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Xingyao immediately said, "Nothing. I was just speaking well of you to my sister-in-law."
"Are you saying good things about me?" Wang Xingren looked as if he was taking me for a fool.
Wang Xingyao nodded heavily, "Yes. I told my sister-in-law that you are very popular in Beijing, and many girls like you..."
Before Wang Xingyao could finish his words, Wang Xingren punched him.
It was obvious that Wang Xingyao was prepared. The moment Wang Xingren raised his hand, he had already run away.
Wang Xingren quickly explained to Zhang Dahua, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He did it on purpose."
Zhang Dahua suppressed her laughter and asked in a low voice, "Did you often bully him when you were a child?"
"No way." Wang Xingren said, "Don't be fooled by his smiling and harmless appearance. This guy is very bad. I am often cheated by him."
Zhang Dahua nodded, "I can see that you have emptied my wallet just now."
Wang Xingren glared, "I'll go find him."
Zhang Dahua hurriedly pulled Wang Xingren and said, "Why are you looking for him? As his sister-in-law, I should give my brother a gift. I only have three or four taels of silver in my purse. I will give him more later."
Wang Xingren quickly stopped him, "Don't do that. If you break this hole, you will probably be his money bag in the future, and he will definitely ask you for money often."
Zhang Dahua was a little curious, "Didn't mom give him pocket money?"
Wang Xingren sighed, "Oh, don't mention it. My mother is very strict.
Xingyao and I only get two taels of silver as pocket money every month, not a penny more."
Wang Xingren then laughed and said, "But before my eldest sister got married, we all asked her for pocket money.
After my sister got married, Xingyao and I went through a lot of hard times."
Zhang Dahua burst out laughing, "Two taels of silver a month as pocket money, you still call this a hard life?
In the past, our family could only save two or three taels of silver at most throughout the year.
When the years were bad, we couldn’t save a penny and couldn’t even get enough to eat.
But our family can't be compared with yours. Your family can be a marquis, so why doesn't mother give you more pocket money?"
