When the rich man saw Tang Lan and his family coming, he walked forward with a smile and respectfully greeted Tang Shuang, "Master, you are here."
Tang Shuang heard this and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, rich man."
Tang Kunhao on the side let them in with a smile on his face, "Shuang'er, you guys go in first." As he spoke, he looked at Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon, his eyes full of love, "Our Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon are here too.
, do you recognize grandpa?"
Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon looked at Tang Kunhao, and then they all shook their heads.
Tang Kunhao also knew that he had not met the two little guys very often, so he naturally did not expect that they would remember him, but it was not too late to see him more now, "I am your grandpa."
"Grandpa..."
Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon shouted in a sweet voice.
Tang Kunhao felt like his heart was about to melt, "Hey... Grandpa's little sweet baby." As he spoke, he directly picked up the two little guys with one hand and one in each hand.
After everyone went in and sat down, the rich man couldn't help but look at Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon. The two little guys were really cute. Listening to their babyish voices talking to Tang Kunhao, they didn't look a bit unfamiliar.
He couldn't help but want to talk to them, "Little pumpkin, little winter melon, do you know who I am?"
The two little guys shook their heads, but soon, Little Pumpkin's eyes lit up and he said, "It's A Tai... Mom and grandma said that the one with white hair is called A Tai."
Little Winter Melon nodded.
"Hahaha... Yes, you called me right." As he spoke, the rich man took out the greeting gift he had prepared, "Here, this is a reward for you."
Tang Lan was a little embarrassed. She had just said this accidentally before, but she didn't expect the two little guys to remember it. However, the two little guys didn't just collect the things casually, and they even knew to look at her.
Tang Lan nodded to the two little guys, and then Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon accepted the gifts.
Afterwards, the rich man talked to Tang Shuang about the recent events of the Tang family.
Tang Shuang nodded while listening and said: "Old man from a rich family, I will feel relieved to have you in charge at home."
Hearing this, the rich man couldn't help but laugh, "I don't dare to take credit. It's all your grandpa's good management. I just threw some things to him."
"Old man from a wealthy family, it's all thanks to you for holding the general direction. You and grandpa have worked hard. I'll give you a toast when we eat later."
The rich man nodded directly when he heard this and said: "Okay, let's have a drink later."
It was already evening when Tang Shuang and the others arrived, so the rich man simply said a few words to them and asked them to go to the room to have a good rest and come back during dinner.
Although they haven't been back for a long time, the room was kept spotless. Tang Lan and Jing Zherong took the little pumpkin and the little winter melon to have a rest. Sisters Tang Shuang, Tang Xue, and Mo Zeyuan, Feng Yehan, put down their things and went to work for a while.
Talked for a while.
"Shuang'er, does Madam want us to go to Hua's house in a few days?"
Hearing Tang Shuang's words, Tang Xue nodded and said: "Yes, Mrs. A sent someone to bring a message before, saying that she wanted us to have a meal together at Hua's house during the Chinese New Year. Do you think when is the best time for us to go there?
"
"Why don't we go there on the seventh day of the lunar month?"
"OK."
Of course Tang Xue didn't have any objections. This time she went over and wanted to ask her great-grandfather something. She felt that after using so much ore, it seemed that it was of no use anymore. After using the ore at the beginning, she could feel herself
Her luck seems to have really improved, but she hasn't felt anything recently.
While a few people were talking, someone came over to look for Tang Shuang.
"Master, the rich man is looking for you over there."
Hearing this, Tang Shuang turned to look at Mo Zeyuan and the others, and said, "I'll go there first. If you are tired, go and rest for a while."
"good."
Mo Zeyuan smiled and nodded.
And Tang Shuang went directly to the courtyard of the wealthy elder.
"Old man from a wealthy family, please look for me."
The rich man saw Tang Shuang coming over, smiled and waved to her, and said, "Master, I want to tell you about opening an ancestral hall to worship ancestors tomorrow."
Hearing this, Tang Shuang's face was full of surprise.
"Have you not done this at home?" She thought these things had been done long ago.
Hearing this, the rich man said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you to come here. I took a look and found that tomorrow is a good day, so I can open an ancestral hall tomorrow to worship my ancestors. You are the head of the Tang family, so naturally I have to wait for you to come in person.
Come and lead everyone to worship our ancestors."
Tang Shuang didn't expect the rich man to think so much, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, but you have to tell me what to do. After all, I have never done this before."
"That's natural. I called you here to tell you this."
The rich man and Tang Shuang explained in detail what needed to be paid attention to, and finally said: "Tomorrow is the first time you will bring your family to worship your ancestors, so take your time, don't rush, and everyone will definitely understand you." As he spoke, he
He also talked about how various families would come over to pay New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year, "At that time, other families should also have people come over to pay New Year greetings. You can just meet them depending on the situation."
"okay, I get it."
Tang Shuang remembered everything the rich man said, and at the same time it was time to have dinner.
"Okay, head of the family, let's go have a meal first. By the way, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother will also come over for dinner. After all, they are your elders, so we just sit down and have a meal together. If you are impatient with them, just ignore them.
"
Tang Shuang heard this and said with a smile: "Don't worry, rich man, I'm not impatient. After all, they are also grandpa's biological parents. I definitely won't say anything."
By the time Tang Shuang and Da Zu Lao arrived at the dining room, Tang Lan and the others had already arrived, and even Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon had already sat down obediently, waiting for the meal to begin.
When Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang saw Tang Shuang, their expressions were complicated. This great-granddaughter was really outstanding, but she was so outstanding that they had no status in the family.
Thinking of this, Mr. Tang was particularly depressed.
He acted well as the head of the family, but in the end he was pushed down by Tang Shuang. Now he has become a bad old man doing nothing every day. But even if they don't like Tang Shuang, they can't show it and have to work hard to eat this meal with a smile.
meal.
The rich man didn't pay attention to Mr. Tang and the others at all. He was teasing Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon with a smile on his face. Tang Kunhao and Hua Feifeng also kept watching Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon eat. Because the two little guys were still young, they gave them to them separately.
Both of them ate the food they prepared with gusto.
When Jing Zherong saw someone taking care of the two little guys, he quickly invited Tang Lan to eat.
"Alan, you should hurry up and eat. You haven't eaten much today. There are parents and rich people watching over the little pumpkin and winter melon." As she spoke, she gave Tang Lan a lot of her favorite dishes.
Tang Lan nodded when she heard this. She planned to eat quickly and then take care of the two little guys to eat.
But before Tang Lan finished eating, the two little guys were already full. There were several people feeding them, so they ate faster than usual. Both of them wanted to get off the table and play.
"Little pumpkin, little winter melon, let me play with you, okay?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yehan walked over directly, looked at the two little guys with a smile and said something.
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Donggua was the first to say something, and then opened her arms to let Feng Yehan hug her. They had been staying together these past few days, so they were very familiar with Feng Yehan's words.
When Feng Yehan saw the little winter melon like this, he felt soft in his heart and quickly picked up the little guy.
Mo Zeyuan on the side had almost finished eating, so he picked up the little pumpkin, and the two of them started playing with the two little guys.
Tang Lan was about to stand up, but Jing Zherong held her back with a smile and said, "Alan, let Zeyuan and Xiaoye take care of you for a while. You hurry up and eat."
Tang Shuang also smiled and said: "Yes, Mom, let them take care of them." She found that in addition to Mo Zeyuan, even Feng Yehan liked the two little guys very much. I have to say that the little pumpkin and the little winter melon were really cute.
cute.
After several people finished eating, Tang Lan and Jing Zherong took the two children and prepared to take them back to their yard. The children had gone to bed early and were ready to put them to bed.
"Alan, you guys get up early tomorrow."
Tang Kunhao stopped them and told them about the ancestor worship tomorrow morning, "Don't worry, it won't be too early. If the two little guys get up by then, I won't take them with me."
Hearing this, Tang Lan nodded and said, "Okay, father, I understand."
Tang Shuang and the others also returned to their yard, preparing to rest early.
Early the next morning, Tang Shuang got up before dawn. Hua Feifeng came directly to her and asked her to put on complicated clothes, "Shuang'er, this is what the head of the family will wear when he worships his ancestors. You can try it on."
Try it on and we will make it according to your size."
After Tang Shuang put it on, she found that it fit very well.
"Grandma, it's just right."
Seeing this, Hua Feifeng said with a smile: "That's good, okay, let's go have breakfast first, otherwise we will be hungry by then."
Except for Tang Shuang, Tang Xue and the others also got up and were all in the dining room at the moment. "Sister, hurry up and come over for dinner. I heard that the ceremony will take a long time."
Mo Zeyuan had already served Tang Shuang with the porridge, and asked her to sit down, saying, "Shuang'er, let's eat first. Uncle Jing and the others will come over later to eat. Little Pumpkin and Little Winter Melon haven't gotten up yet."
"good."
But when they finished eating, Tang Lan and Jing Zherong came over with their two children. They had breakfast quickly and then went to the ancestral hall.
When the wealthy man saw Tang Shuang coming, he smiled and arranged for her to stand at the front.
Several other clan elders also arrived, and almost everyone from the Tang family arrived, so Tang Kunhao shouted directly and the ceremony officially began.
Tang Shuang remembered it very clearly because the elder of the wealthy family had told it in detail before, so she led everyone to successfully complete the ancestor worship ceremony.
Both Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang were there. After all, ancestor worship was a major event for the Tang family, and they would definitely not miss it. However, looking at Tang Shuang leading the crowd, Mr. Tang's face could not maintain its usual indifference. At this moment, he
I just felt that everyone around me was looking at him. After all, he had led everyone to worship their ancestors in previous years.
It was Mrs. Tang who gave him a hand, and Mr. Tang managed to put on a smile.
But the rich man stepped forward and praised Tang Shuang, "Master, you did a great job. It's your first time doing this, but you don't look unfamiliar. It shows that you have memorized all the steps carefully."
Tang Shuang heard this and said with a smile: "Actually, there are not many steps, but it is always a good thing to complete it smoothly. Rich man, is there anything else to do next?"
The rich man shook his head and said, "Nothing's going on. The head of the family can go back and take a rest."
But before Tang Shuang could leave, Tang Kunyu, the son of a wealthy family elder, came over. When he saw Tang Shuang, he quickly said: "Master, there are people from other families coming to pay New Year's greetings. You may need to entertain them."
When Tang Shuang heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Which family are you from?"
"It's the Yin family and the Wei family. The ones coming this year are Yin Yanming, the third son of the Yin family, and his daughter Yin Jinghong. As for the Wei family, the head of the family should also know them. They are Wei Heng's grandson Wei Shihe."
Hearing this, Tang Shuang nodded, and then said: "Okay, I'll go out and meet them."
In addition to Wei Shihe, Tang Shuang also had some impressions of Yin Yanming. When Mr. Tang passed his birthday, Tang Kunchen was about to seize power, and this Yin Yanming seemed to be vaguely on Tang Kunchen's side. I don't know if he came here this time for any other purpose.
.
When Tang Shuang arrived at the front hall, he saw Yin Yanming and Wei Shihe. Standing next to them was a tall, beautiful woman. She looked Tang Shuang up and down and said in a casual tone: "
It turns out that this is the new head of the Tang family. He is really young. There is no other highly respected person in the Tang family to be the head of the family, so he would choose a young girl like you."
Hearing this, Tang Shuang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
This girl must be Yin Yanming's daughter. I didn't expect that she would say such words when she opened her mouth.
Before Tang Shuang could say anything, Yin Yanming shouted with a dark face: "Jinghong, don't be rude."
When Yin Jinghong saw his father talking about him, he couldn't help biting his lip and said: "Father, I'm not wrong in saying that. Look at the other families. How can there be such a young family head? Which family head is not an old man with high morals?"
, the new head of the Tang family is so young, I really don’t know what they think.”
"I don't care much about what the Tang family thinks. I only care about whether the Yin family knows your character. If they knew, they would be pissed to death every day."
Tang Shuang could feel Yin Jinghong's inexplicable hostility towards her, but the girl in front of her was a bit too brainless. Even if she was hostile to him, she shouldn't have said these words in public.
"You...it's not your turn to take care of our Yin family's affairs. You should take care of yourself."
"Jinghong, if you continue like this, you should leave the Tang family first."
Seeing the angry look on his father's face, Yin Jinghong didn't say anything more. He just whispered: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. I just want to defend Yu Xi."
