The woman next to the sixth uncle was not too tall, it could even be said to be petite, but a pair of small eyes were very shrewd and sharp, shining like light all the time. She wore the city's fashionable bun hairstyle, flowers and silver ornaments, her clothes were clean and beautiful, and her face was juicy and smooth, as if she was only in her early twenties.

    Xu He knew that they were people with a face, so he respectfully followed Zhang Fangyuan and called them.

    But the wife was not someone who gave face to the host. Before Zhang Shilong could open his mouth, she said first: "Hey, Fangyuan's wife is a ger, when you got married I didn't come, but now I can see it. "

    Then he looked Xu He up and down: "Look at how tall he is, it's really rare for a ger to be as tall as him in the village and city."

    Xu He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, for a long time, no one in the village was interested in his appearance or said something about his figure, and it was a bit uncomfortable to hear such words on such a happy day, but he didn't say much.

    He had good patience, but Zhang Fangyuan was not someone who could let others tease his fulang in front of his face, so he immediately said: "If it wasn't because of my ger, I could only look for a man. Besides, I have to find a tall partner for a tall man like me, how could I be with an ordinary short dwarf? "

    Zhang Fangyuan deliberately lowered his head and looked at her, the sixth aunt's face was sullen. Presumably she was someone who  had never gotten any rebuttals from her family before, so she said in a strange way: "Fangyuan is capable now, and his words are more outspoken than before."

    Zhang Fangyuan showed a surprised look on his face, he looked at his sixth uncle Zhang Shilong and said: "I used to speak like this, look at the sixth aunt's memory, uncle, you should take the sixth aunt back for a walk more often, so there's nothing to worry about. "

    Zhang Shilong smiled and tugged at his wife’s sleeves, signaling her to stop talking, but the woman threw his hand away, without saving any face.

    "Come on, go in and have a look at the eldest brother and the fourth brother. I heard that the second sister is also back, Rongfang, it just happened you can meet someone."

     Zhang Shilong said cheekily, pretending not to see his wife's dissatisfaction, and smoothed things over.

    "What's so interesting about a dilapidated house like this? You still have to look at it after traveling long distance from the city. No matter how well-built the house is, it's still in the countryside." The family of three entered the house, and Feng Rongfang started cursing.

    Zhang Shilong said: "Such a big house, even if it's built in the village, you need more than a hundred taels to build it. My nephew opened a tea shed, and a few days ago, I only found out that he was the one who opened the Linglong shop in the city. For such a big business, it's a good thing for us to see each other often.”

    “What’s so good about it, he opened a shop in the city and I never saw anyone sending some toothbrushes and tooth powders to our house. Do people take you, the sixth uncle, seriously? As long as you come back by yourself, you will receive frigid irony and scorching satire from others, and now you come back together with me and  Jie'er. The one that trouble me the most is the poor and sour villagers. Your poor relatives look at the people coming from the city as if they have seen a silver or gold ingot. When we come back, they will ask about this and that, they are eager to let you find a job for their sons to earn a living. "

   Although Zhang Shilong knew that his wife was talking about his eldest brother's family, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart: "I'm also from the village, so why did you marry me before?"

    Feng Rongfang heard her man was talking about himself, and then she changed her tone: "I was talking about outsiders and you're talking about yourself. Now you are half a door-to-door son-in-law. You are not a villager, but you are already from the city. Look at the man in the village, which one is as decent as you."

    The couple murmured a few words, and the two people from the village in the front ignored them. Finally, Zhang Shicheng looked at the people who just came in and called out "sixth brother", and the couple stopped.

    "Fourth brother!"

    "Come and sit in the house, the eldest brother and the second sister are here, and finally we have a reunion." Zhang Shicheng was a little surprised to see the couple, but he was really happy to see his relatives: "I have seen the two children of Fangyuan, they are very well-behaved. "

    "Two?"

    Feng Rongfang shouted in surprise, she only knew that the full moon banquet was held together with the banquet for entering the new house, but she didn't know that two children were born in one breath. She didn't like the people in the village, but she couldn't help but go to see the two children when she heard about such a rare and happy event.

    Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He looked at the relatives in the house, feeling a little helpless: "What is this called? No one cares about the poor in the busy city, but the rich distant relatives in the mountains. If we are often in the city in the future, we will inevitably have entanglements with them, but the best thing is that my sixth aunt can't get used to me. "

    Xu He patted Fangyuan’s palm: “Whatever those people do, Let's just live our lives well. When your waist is still strong, you don't have to ask for help to live your life, and you won't feel uncomfortable. "

    Zhang Fangyuan calmed down the anger that showed on his face, and his expression softened a lot as he pinched Xu He's hand.

    The banquet was set up earlier than usual for supper, and the weather was good today, so they directly set up a table in the yard for the banquet.

    When the food was served, there was a large plate of white flour steamed buns, stacked into a triangular shape, with a spring crabapple on the top.

    This time the Zhang family really did a good job, and it was even better than the previous wedding banquet. The villagers knew that they were far behind, and there was no comparison, and they ate and drank all the time, so happy.

    In a blink of an eye, the children's full moon was over, and they had moved to the new house, two major events had happened at home, and life had returned to peace and tranquility.
