    Seeing that the fat lady seemed to be afraid of him, his father Liu Da held on to the gold-embroidered member's outer hat with his hand, shook the silver-threaded member's outer shirt, and followed the jokes in the play.  One sentence: 'Who is next?  But my Liu family siblings?  ¡® Fat lady: ¡®¡­¡¯ I thought to myself, oh my god, you can¡¯t see it at such a close distance?  This old guy either has a disease in his eyes or is just putting on airs.  But on the surface, the fat woman looked at the maids and servants standing solemnly on both sides, and then at the old man Liu who was sitting upright in front of her, she had to force out a flattering smile and said: "Oh, brother, you have such a nice look, I'm not your younger brother or sister."  Who else would I be?  Hahaha!  ' The old man Liu Da was relieved. To be honest, he had already prepared himself just now. He quietly pulled up the hem of his clothes, ready to jump off the chair and run away when the other party got angry. His destination was to hide behind his son, but at a glance  The fat lady was so obedient, and the old man knew it. He stroked his increasingly elegant goatee and said: "Oh, it turns out we are really my brother and sister. I didn't expect you to come over on the first day of the new year, but it made me a little bit confused."  Surprised!  ¡® ¡®What¡¯s the surprise? What¡¯s there to be surprised about?  Aren¡¯t we all a family?  Besides, it¡¯s only natural to come here to pay New Year greetings to my brother on the first day of the new year!  Do you think so, Liu Neng?  "When the fat woman saw her man standing like a piece of wood, she couldn't help itching her teeth with hatred. She said to her heart, why are you such a useless man? Just let me, a woman, speak, but you can't even fart.  !  Liu Neng didn¡¯t expect that the mother-in-law would ask him, and he couldn¡¯t help but be a little surprised. Where had the fat woman ever asked him for his opinion before, no matter when talking or doing things, what should he say now?  So he thought for a while and said: 'Well, it's not the first day of the Lunar New Year, so the couple of us brought some eggs over, come come and see you!  It's all cooked by the family's chicken. It's not big, but it's delicious!  ' Liu Neng doesn't know how to play tricks. He says whatever he wants. He then added: 'Originally I wanted to bring a big basket, but my mother-in-law couldn't bear to part with it. This is good, there are only six eggs, some  It's embarrassing, brother, just accept it!  ¡® Liu Neng¡¯s words made Xiao Cui, Xiao Hong and others nearby cover their mouths and laugh. The fat woman was even more embarrassed and scolded the man in her heart, why don¡¯t you open the pot and lift the pot? Why are you talking about such nonsense!  So he hurriedly made up his mind and said: ¡®Oh, what are you talking about!  The third child is stupid and can't speak, so I couldn't bear to part with those eggs. I thought, we don't lack these here, so if you want to give them away, just give them better ones!  I don¡¯t want the ones with rounded ends and pointed ones, the ones with too thick skin, and the bad color. So I picked out six after picking and choosing.  Six omens are good, six or six are going well, and six animals are prosperous!  Do you think this is true?  !  ' Not to mention, although this fat woman is sarcastic, her mouth is very good at being in vain. After she said this, it seemed that she really meant it.  Father Liu Da didn¡¯t want her eggs either, so he smiled and said, ¡®It¡¯s great if you come, and I¡¯ll give you something as well!  Third child, the dumplings will be boiled later. I¡¯ll ask someone to prepare a few dishes. You can drink two cups with me!  ¡¯ Before the man could speak, the fat lady hurriedly said: ¡®That¡¯s a good relationship!  We came here early today, and we didn¡¯t have time to make a fire to make food, so you two happened to be sitting together and having a good chat!  ¡®?¡­?Here, Liu Wenyang saw that his father and third uncle had a close brotherly relationship, so he arranged for his servants to take care of everything, prepare breakfast, and start the meal early.  The fat lady over there pretended to lend a hand to help, so she followed the cook to the kitchen. When she took a look at the place, she felt sour in her heart. Look, this kitchen is more spacious than my house, and this iron pot is bigger than my house.  The water tank is even bigger and rounder, and the floor is flatter than the bed I sleep on The fat woman went into the kitchen and touched this and looked at that, but she felt that the pots and pans were hundreds of times better than her own.  Her eyes shone, and thousands of thoughts ran through her mind, until Old Man Liu's ancestral grave was smoking, so he could enjoy such wealth; but immediately the fat woman thought that her man and Old Man Liu were brothers, even if the ancestral grave was  It's smoke, and my man should get some credit, but now all the good things have been taken away by this guy, and I haven't benefited from it at all.  Full of disappointment and unwillingness, the fat woman's heart felt like needles pricking her heart. She forced a smile and asked the cook, Mama Sun, "How much reward can you get for working here for a month?"  'The cook is also an honest person. She is very handy with pots and pans, and she is even more honest with people. She said with a smile: 'Master Liu is a kind person and promised me twenty taels of silver a month!  '    'What?  Two taels of silver?  !  'The fat lady opened her mouth wide.  ¡®Yes, it¡¯s twenty taels a month, and some red envelopes are given during holidays and festivals. For example, I got a big red envelope this morning, and Xiaocui and Xiaohong also got five hundred yuan!  The master is really a good man, and the young master is very kind-hearted.Well, it cost no less than five hundred taels to open that porridge restaurant!  'But the cook generously returned the money donated by Wu Fang and Zhang to Master Liu.  When the fat woman heard these words, she heard something different in her ears. She secretly said, ¡®My mother!  This old man Liu is really rich!  ¡® Five hundred taels, even if I work hard with the man, I will never be able to accumulate so much money in my life!  When the cook, Mama Sun, saw the fat woman¡¯s eyes were straightened and she was making a strange sound of ¡®uh-huh¡¯ in her throat, she thought something had happened to her, so she hurriedly said: ¡®His aunt, what¡¯s wrong with you?  Don't scare me!  Oops, no, I want to ask the master to go!  ¡®The fat woman¡¯s soul returned to her place, grabbed her by the hand and said: ¡®Don¡¯t, don¡¯t go!  I just had a stomachache and I farted hard!  It's okay now, haha, you don't have to worry about me!  ' Seeing her like this, the cook breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know how close the fat woman was to the master, she was a servant and had to do her duty to avoid offending others.  The cook was kind-hearted, but she didn't know that the fat woman had already made her wishful thinking. After receiving the news, she stopped pretending to help with the cooking and went out to find her man.  ¡­ At the dining table in the middle hall, third uncle Liu Nengzheng and his father Liu Da served seven or eight side dishes together and drank wine happily.  Although these side dishes are few, they are very delicate. Unlike before, it was just a plate of dried tofu, a plate of peanuts, and some vegetarian dishes.  Nowadays, it is a combination of meat and vegetables, such as 'fried chicken nuggets', 'roasted mushrooms', 'vinegar fish', and 'leeks and eggs', etc.  The small wine is no longer the low-quality rice wine that costs three or four cents a bottle on the street, but the first-class ¡®Ner¡¯er Hong¡¯ in the town. When you hold the wine glass, you can smell the intoxicating aroma of the wine even if you don¡¯t drink it.  Third uncle Liu Neng was obviously very happy with the drink, especially sitting with his brother Liu Da. Seeing that his brother's family had become so wealthy, he felt more comfortable in his heart, so he drank the wine even more comfortably.  Just when Liu Neng was blushing from drinking, he used his chopsticks several times to pick up the greasy and fragrant chicken wings on the plate and eat them, when he saw his own woman standing by the door and looking towards him with a big ugly face.  wink.  Third uncle Liu Neng was not happy in his heart. He said to himself, this woman is really serious. She finally eats hot food, but you are messing around outside.  Ignoring her, Liu Neng still picked up the chicken wings, chewing until his mouth was greasy, and burping until he was full. He glanced back, only to see that the mother-in-law hadn't left yet, and was still winking at him.  Father Liu Da saw his brother chewing chicken wings and looking back and forth towards the door, so he took a curious look at the door and saw the fat woman winking hard, so he said to Liu Neng  : 'Brother, it looks like your sister-in-law has something to do with you. Come over here and let's drink this wine later.  ¡® ¡®This prodigal bitch will always look for trouble for me!  Brother, you, you, wait, I'll take a look.  'Liu Neng saw that his brother had spoken, then he moved his hips and stood up, wiped the grease from his mouth with his sleeves, lifted the stretched waistband with his hands, and then reluctantly walked towards the door.  Seeing the man coming, the fat woman pulled him aside, looking sneaky.  Third uncle Liu Neng said impatiently: ¡®You, you, what are you doing?  Will you let me have a sip of wine?  !  ¡®The fat lady gave him a hard squeeze on his arm and said, ¡®You damn ghost, is drinking so important?  How many winks did I give you before you came out?  !  What, those horse urine soups haven¡¯t filled you up yet?  !  ¡®Liu Neng¡¯s arm was pinched by the mother-in-law so much that it hurt. He bared his teeth and said, ¡®What nonsense are you talking about? What are you talking about?  That's a daughter's red that you may not be able to buy even if you have money!  ¡® ¡®Shit!  Why should a daughter be popular and a boy be popular? I don¡¯t worry about that!  'The fat woman despises men for not living up to their expectations. She only cares about filling horses with urine and doesn't care about anything else.  'I'm telling you' The fat woman said in a sly voice, 'I have found out everything. Your brother's family is really rich now. They can make dozens of taels a day just from fortune-telling business.  !  Also, do you know how much the cook their family earns for a month?  'The fat lady raised her fingers in a mysterious manner, 'Two taels of silver!  A whole two taels!  It¡¯s almost as good as our family¡¯s harvest in half a year!  ¡®Liu Neng also took a breath. He only knew that his brother¡¯s family was rich, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be so wealthy.  ¡®You, you, what¡¯s the use of envying you?  It¡¯s not our money!  Liu Neng swallowed and said.  ¡®How could it be useless?  Think about it, I am also a woman and I can also cook. I just need to boil a pot, add water and stir-fry some vegetables. What¡¯s so difficult?  !  So, you might as well tell your brother to get rid of the cook and let me do all the work!  ¡®The fat lady finally showed her fox tail¡¯?I want to steal the cook's job, establish a base here in the Liu family, and slowly take advantage in the future.  Although Liu Neng was straightforward, he also had a clear mind. He said to himself, "Yes, my mother-in-law can also light fires and cook rice. I don't want to earn the money for anyone else. It's better to let her do it. The rich water will not go to other people's fields, and my own family will have the money."  Life can be a little easier.  Seeing that the man was in a daze, the fat woman continued to encourage: "Also, tell your brother that the place where our family lives is small, and it is uncomfortable to live in a house with a kitchen and a hut The Liu family has a big business.  There are also many houses, so I asked him if we could move here so that we could take care of each other!  ¡® ¡®What did you say?  Move here?  ¡®Liu Neng didn¡¯t expect that his mother-in-law was so ambitious and wanted to move here.  How is this possible?  !  Even if his father Liu Da agrees, his nephew will definitely not agree.  ¡®You mother-in-law, why have you forgotten how you treated others before?  I won't even give you a bowl of rice, and you'll make a lot of noise after eating half a tael of soybeans!  Now that I see someone is rich, I want to join in and take advantage. How can such a good thing happen in this world?  !  You still want to rub sesame oil after taking a shower, you know how to think about it!  ¡® Ignoring the man¡¯s sarcasm, the fat woman pouted her mouth and said, ¡®Why, you won¡¯t tell me?  If you don¡¯t tell me, I will!  I don't believe that Old Man Liu is so ruthless and ruthless that he won't even help his own brothers!  ¡® Seeing the mother-in-law holding her neck and rushing forward, Liu Neng grabbed her and said: ¡®Stop, stop!  You immediately messed up the matter as soon as you opened your mouth!  I, I, I, let me go and talk about it¡ª¡ª' I didn't expect that a man who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks would say that. The fat woman was happy and said: 'Then you should be nicer, the matter is mine.  Go home and treat you well!  'After saying that, she gave the man a wink with her sow eyes.  Liu Neng shivered all over, thinking he had seen a ghost.  rs
