Chapter 361 Apology
Wei Kaiyue's eyes lit up, but then she felt even more embarrassed and stammered, "I'm not greedy, Chu Yu, you don't have to prepare anything for me, you..."
"Everyone has a share, including the Zhang family." Xia Zihan interrupted her discomfort.
When Mrs. Wei, who was about to get into the carriage, heard this, she felt it was a bit unfair and said, "The share of the Liao family and the Dou family is really large. Huh, I didn't expect that the Lord of Chu Yu County also watched people give gifts."
"Mom, please stop talking." Wei Kaiyue's face turned black with anger and her body was shaking. She quickly squeezed out a stiff smile and apologized to Xia Zihan, "Chu Yu, I'm sorry, my mother really drank too much. ”
That smile was even more embarrassing than crying.
If she weren't afraid of being further embarrassed, she would really want to cry.
She really regretted bringing her mother here.
If her mother hadn't heard that she was coming to the Chu family, she would have come with her even if she wanted to. If she didn't bring her, she would have scolded her for being unfilial. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her mother at all.
She knew that when her mother came, she would definitely cause trouble for her.
But she is his biological mother after all.
She cannot disobey her mother or be unfilial. This is the ancestral motto of the Wei family.
Xia Zihan didn't blame Wei Kaiyue. She had been in contact with Mrs. Wei several times. During those times, although Mrs. Wei made some minor gaffes and no one would blame her, it was not difficult to see her true nature.
Today, Mrs. Wei has lost her composure several times.
If it was careless, it was careless too many times.
Is this because he got to know her well and thought Wei Kaiyue was on good terms with her, so he started to feel dissatisfied?
She pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't blame Wei Kaiyue, but she was angry with Mrs. Wei.
She sneered and said, "The relationship between the Liao family, the Dou family, and the Chu family has always been good. Not only today, but also on weekdays, we often send food back and forth between us."
"Today is a happy event. Even if there is no happy event, if my Chu family has any delicious food, I will pack several baskets and give it to the two families."
“Even during the New Year and holidays, our families will give each other gifts.”
"Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Dou have always treated me as their own daughter. The Liao family and the Dou family are all relatives, just like family members. The Wei family..."
She glanced at Wei Kaiyue, and there was a slight alienation in that look, "Even if Wei Kaiyue and I are good friends, our relationship is not as close as that between me and the Dou family and the Liao family. Wei Kaiyue should understand this in his heart."
"Best friends are different from relatives."
Therefore, the two families received many gifts in return.
Even if she doesn't come to attend the wedding, she will still send fruits to both families.
On weekdays, she would always send food to the two families, as well as the Second Prince's Mansion. Of course, if these two families had delicious food, they would also give it to her.
As for the Wei family, she only had a better relationship with Wei Kaiyue. She had only met Mrs. Wei and the Wei family once or twice.
Even if they meet, they are not as close as she is to the Dou family and the Liao family.
The Zhang family and the Chu family have no contact at all, let alone any relationship.
She gave baskets of fruits because Mr. Zhang was her father's colleague. Otherwise, wouldn't she just have a fever of having too much money to spend money on such expensive fruits?
If the Zhang family wants more, they are just as greedy as Mrs. Wei.
If Mrs. Zhang was smart, she would not foolishly compare herself with the Liao family and the Dou family.
Even Wei Kaiyue cannot compare with Liao Fangyi in Xia Zihan's heart.
Liao Fangyi was someone Xia Zihan loved as a younger sister, while Wei Kaiyue was just a closer best friend of Xia Zihan's.
"Chu Yu, please stop talking, I'm almost ashamed." Wei Kaiyue's face turned red with embarrassment, but he still felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Although I understand that what Xia Zihan said is right, no matter how good a girlfriend is, she will never be close to her by her relatives.
But it's one thing to know in my heart, and it's another thing to hear Xia Zihan say it clearly.
In my heart, I was still disappointed.
"Chu Yu, it's my honor to know you and be friends with you. I'm very happy. My mother drank too much. Don't take her words to heart. Another day, I'll come over to apologize to you on my mother's behalf. .”
Then, he turned to Liao Fangyi, suddenly took off a pair of bracelets and gave them to Liao Fangyi, and another pair to Dou Si, saying, "When we first met, I wanted to give a gift, but I didn't bring it last time, so I will give it to you this time." , hope it’s not too late.”
She said it so beautifully, but the girls present knew in their hearts that Wei Kaiyue was apologizing for Mrs. Wei's words for offending the Liao family and the Dou family.
Dou Si and Liao Fangyi both looked at Xia Zihan.
The meaning is obvious. As long as Xia Zihan doesn't care, they won't care either. But as long as Xia Zihan shakes his head, from now on, Wei Kaiyue will be listed as a person who refuses to interact with him.
Wei Kaiyue looked at Xia Zihan nervously, feeling resentful of Mrs. Wei again.
If it hadn't been for her...if she hadn't been confused and offended three families, the Liao family, the Chu family, and the Dou family, she wouldn't have begged others for reconciliation in such a low voice.
For this girl, she is really almost enough.
Zhang Qiongrou, who made waves from the beginning, once Mrs. Wei got into the act, she stood aside and watched the excitement happily.
I saw Wei Kaiyue giving a gift. Although the gift was not expensive, it was still worth more than ten taels of silver. However, Wei Kaiyue only gave it to Dou Si and Liao Fangyi, but never to her. There was some displeasure in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Wei Kaiyue, every time you and your mother go out, you wear so many pairs of bracelets on your wrists, and you don't feel tired?"
Every time Mrs. Wei lost her composure in front of others, Wei Kaiyue would worry that she would be ostracized by others, and worried that Mrs. Wei's actions would bring trouble to the Wei family. Wei Kaiyue would send some small gifts to those whom Mrs. Wei had offended to help Wei Kaiyue. Jiahe himself can regain some face and reduce some enemies.
Of course, the bracelets given by Wei Kaiyue are not expensive, costing more than a dozen taels per pair, but the styles are very beautiful and can easily attract the liking of little girls.
At least Liao Fangyi and Dou Si like it very much.
When the two of them saw Xia Zihan nodding slightly, they happily accepted it and immediately put it on their wrists.
They ignored Zhang Qiongrou's words, but each took off a piece of jewelry from their bodies and gave it to Wei Kaiyue.
It's a return gift.
"We accepted your gift. You can't refuse our gift." Dou Si smiled and put the hairpin he took off his head into Wei Kaiyue's hand.
Liao Fangyi gave her a pair of earrings.
Liao Fangyi originally wanted to give her a hairpin as a gift, but then she remembered that the hairpin on her head was something she found from Xia Zihan's dressing table this morning. Xia Zihan's things were all from Cuiyuxuan, and everything was extremely expensive.
Liao Fangyi stretched her hand above her head and touched her ears.
Wei Kaiyue was moved to tears and kept saying words of thanks before reluctantly getting into the carriage.
However, before getting on the carriage, she glanced at Zhang Qiongrou vaguely, and her impression of Zhang Qiongrou began to become extremely bad.
Zhang Qiongrou saw that no one was paying attention to her, and her face turned black with anger.
Then he snorted, twisted his butt, got into the carriage and left without even saying hello.
Dou Siqi's beautiful body trembled, and he stared at the Zhang family's carriage and sighed a few times, "Bah, bah, bah, what the hell, you're actually showing off your face."
"Huh, if she hadn't been talkative, Mrs. Wei wouldn't have been in trouble." Liao Fangyi also had a bad impression of Zhang Qiongrou, and even listed her as a person who refused to interact with her in her heart.
"If you see such a villain in the future, you'd better stay away." Xia Zihan told the two of them, both of whom were heartless.
Dou Si hummed, "I know, even if you didn't tell me, I would stay away from her."
The group of people returned to the yard.
Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Dou San, Aunt Guo, etc. stayed until the sun was almost setting before saying goodbye and leaving.
When the carriage that delivered fruit to the two families came back in the evening, the Dou family's carriage contained a basket of live fish, while the Liao family unexpectedly returned with a basket of fresh corn.
This season, the corn in the capital has only been planted for less than two months and is less than one meter high. Even the corn in the south of the Yangtze River does not mature so early.
But the Liao family had corn to eat.
Later, after asking Liao Fangyi, Xia Zihan found out that the corn was planted in a greenhouse by a friend that Mr. Liao met in Jiangnan. He planted it in the twelfth lunar month of last year, and it was a good time to harvest it this season.
Knowing that Mr. Liao liked this bite, the friend sent ten baskets over.
By coincidence, it happened to be delivered that evening. When Mrs. Liao arrived home, the corn unloading truck had not yet been finished. Mrs. Liao ordered the chief attendant to carry a basket and put it directly on the Chu family's carriage
Mrs. Liao knew that Mr. Zeng liked to drink fresh corn porridge.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zeng was so excited that she immediately ordered the kitchen, "Dinner will be half an hour late. I want to drink polenta tonight."
Zhuo just took a few corn cobs and ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to cook them. "Give them to the twins to chew. It's just the time when they like to chew."
Sticky corn, children love to eat.
The twins are over a year old and have eight teeth, which is the age when their teeth become itchy.
Several times, the roots of her teeth were itchy, so she grabbed Zhuo's hand and bit it, which made her teeth feel cold and painful. Zhuo's face turned dark when the pain hit her.
He is reluctant to hit but reluctant to scold, yet reluctant to scold.
In the end, Mrs. Zhuo had no choice but to tell the kitchen to stew a few big bones every day so that they could chew the bones just like puppies.
But the bones are too hard, and the twins don't like to chew, but they like to bite.
Now, now that we have corn, the twins should like to eat it.
"Auntie, I also built a greenhouse on my farm. In the twelfth lunar month of this year, we will plant a batch of corn in advance for eating." Xia Zihan, who was teasing the twins, suddenly laughed.
Mrs. Zhuo became excited, "How big is the greenhouse? Is it enough for planting? Make more varieties. Your grandmother likes to eat, and your Chu family grandfather also likes to eat. If your greenhouse is not big enough, just build an extra one. There is not enough space. Just open up the Zhuangzi between our two families. Anyway, the Zhuangzi will be left to Aqi in the future, and it will be connected sooner or later.”
"How can that be done? Even if we want to build it, don't open up Zhuangzi." Xia Zihan's pretty face was slightly red, but she was used to being teased by Mr. Zhuo, and now her face was thick-skinned, and she no longer looked as shy as if she was on fire. Can fry eggs.
He added, "My village is big and there is room, but if my aunt wants to build a greenhouse, we can build it together."
"Then build it in October. At that time, the food comes out and the fields are empty." Zhuo said.
