The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 295
Ye Shuzhi thought of this, and smiled knowingly: "Very good, I like the excitement of the New Year's Eve!"

When she said that, she suddenly thought that her stingy mother would definitely nag, but it is useless to nag when she is old and has no power.

My father may not speak up and ignore my mother's nagging. In fact, my father is also quite vain.

"Shuzhi, I heard that your elder brother bought another manor. Your mother's family has made a lot of money! Also take us to earn some hard-earned money!"

Ye Shuzhi also heard about what the mother-in-law said, but this time the manor that the elder brother invested in was not only bought by the elder brother alone, but also by the brother of the sister-in-law's natal family.

Ye Shuzhi just smiled and didn't say much about what her mother-in-law said at this time, she has seen through a little bit of life.

If she has not married before, she will still make some bad remarks, and after she has married and has not had a baby, she may say some angry words.

But that time when her natal family came to visit, it was her sister-in-law who gave her warmth, and she vaguely knew that it was her sister-in-law who was taking care of her.

This reminded her of her sister-in-law who was in danger of bleeding to death when she gave birth. The crying face of the eldest sister was not fake.

Granny Li from next door came to help the sister-in-law deal with the dirty things on her body.

These things should belong to the mother-in-law, but her mother didn't do it. At that time, she also felt that the sister-in-law who gave birth to a baby girl would die if she died, and she shouldn't be so delicate if she didn't die.

It was only when I gave birth to my daughter that I got a taste of it, and realized that my sister-in-law had suffered a lot in those years.

Ye Shuzhi didn't tell her mother-in-law what was on her mind, she carried the child back to the room, poured some hot water, washed her face, wiped her feet and went to bed with the child, and her husband came back just after sleeping.

Zhong Xianggui came back against the cold wind, entered the room to warm up, until his wife was still asleep, his face was full of spring breeze, with more joy.

"Shuzhi, haha, our family sells fireworks during Chinese New Year and earns a lot of money. My father has already told me that we will go to the county town to buy some goods before dawn tomorrow, and we will send you to your mother's house in the afternoon!"

Ye Shuzhi shook her head and smiled, "We're not in a hurry, you go to work first."

"Why? Didn't you go to your mother's house on the second day of the new year?"

"Let's go in the afternoon, the store will definitely be closed again, and of course we have to keep selling the goods we just bought. My mother's house is so close, so I can go by myself. Besides, tomorrow is the day when my elder brother and sister-in-law go to their mother's house. I didn't go in the morning, and I will change it in the afternoon." can not go."

Zhong Xianggui nodded knowingly. His brother-in-law and sister-in-law went to his natal family, and he might have a drink with his brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and father-in-law.

Maybe they only saw the father-in-law and mother-in-law when they went to their natal home. He thought of the stingy mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were not entertaining at home, maybe they didn't even receive the red envelopes after giving gifts.

Going to the father-in-law's house is not just for a red envelope, maybe to meet another brother-in-law or brother-in-law.

What Zhong Xianggui knew very well was that if his uncle and sister-in-law were not there, then those nieces would also be there too, and it would not be so lively.

"Then wait for two days!"

Ye Shuzhi nodded, although not everyone will go to her natal home on the second day of the new year.

For example, those of them who do business don't have time during the Chinese New Year, and her mother-in-law didn't go to her mother's house until after the fifth day of the lunar new year.

……

Compared with the five wealthy families in Bushen Village, there is Hongji's family, which is not a small village, and the sky lights up in the dark night.

People who have not finished waking up the lion, and people who have been waking up the lion come to visit.

The night of the first day of the new year was lively again. Ye Shiqi's sisters played with fireworks almost, but the sisters didn't finish the rest of the fireworks, thinking about saving them for tomorrow.

The next day, when Ye Shiqi woke up, it was already daylight.

Seeing that she woke up, the servant girl called for face wash water.

Ye Shiqi made a toothbrush by herself, so she drew a picture and gave it to her father. Unexpectedly, her father is quite smart. I made a toothbrush for the family. As for the toothbrush, what kind of wool is it made of?
On a whim, my father tried to use wool and rabbit fur, but it was very successful. He made it with this type of woodworking.

The successful production this time also brought a lot of benefits to the wood factory. It is useless to use ordinary small wood, and a piece of small wood can make many small toothbrushes.

Later, in order to produce these toothbrushes, the factory also purchased wool and rabbit fur, and ordinary wood was specially made.

After Ye Shiqi washed her face and brushed her teeth, she no longer wore the bright red outfit from yesterday.

After two full nights of fireworks, there was already some unpleasant smell.

Ye Shiqi is wearing a pink quilt cover today. People in ancient times not only wore skirts, but some also wore trousers for convenience. Wealthy women would wear skirts and only underwear inside.

The servant girl combed her hair again, and tied two small balls on her head with a flower ribbon, and also drew a silver hairpin on it.

They wear pink embroidered shoes, and it doesn't snow here, and there is sun outside the window today.

While Ye Shiqi was dressing up, her fourth sister was sitting quietly beside her.

Then three other sisters came to see, after Ye Shiqi dressed up, the sisters saw that they were sisters again.

The five sisters all wore pink skirts, jackets, and pink embroidered shoes.

However, what they wear on their heads is a bit different, which does not affect the appearance of their sister outfits.

When the sisters came to the hall for breakfast hand in hand, the father was sitting, the mother was there holding the younger brother, and even the grandparents were there.

"Don't go to your mother's house so early, can't you go to your mother's house in a few days? Maybe some of your younger sisters and brother-in-law will come today!" Lai said to his son and daughter-in-law, as if it was an order rather than a discussion.

The five sisters haven't been seated yet, and they have already discussed it, and they will go to grandpa and grandma's house today.

When grandma made such a move again, they were stunned for a moment and sat down silently, eating breakfast with peace of mind.

Today's breakfast is also very rich, there are still rice cakes and dim sum, and there is no meat porridge. Maybe people think that eating porridge during the Chinese New Year is something poor people do.

"Mother, the second sister has brought a message, saying that this year's fireworks business is good, they have purchased twice, and they have no time to come to buy today."

"Then your elder sister and younger sister, they may come to her mother's house today." Lai's expression was still the same, her daughter's arrival is of course more important than her son's going to his father-in-law's house.

"Mother, I already told my eldest brother-in-law yesterday that we will go to my father-in-law's house today and let them come tomorrow. As for the younger sister, she is heavy. My brother-in-law said that my younger sister will not come, and he will come on the sixth day of the new year."

Mrs. Lai was pushed back by her son after saying it twice, but she still did not give up and said: "Then you are free today, why don't you accompany me back to my mother's house!"

To his obsessive mother, Hongji scolded his daughter-in-law during Chinese New Year in order not to vent her anger on her daughter-in-law, so he cast his eyes on his father.

Hongji's father, who had been eating breakfast in silence, did not want to express his opinion, nor did he want to go to her mother's house with his wife.

It's just that the son's eyes came over, and in order to help his son out, he could only say: "It's not enough for me to accompany you back to your mother's house?"

Lai's mouth was opened by what her husband said, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth. She was a little reluctant that her husband would make trouble for her, and she couldn't tell her husband what she thought in front of so many people.

Mrs. Lai insisted on letting her son go to her natal home together. Of course, she had the same idea before the Chinese New Year. She wanted her son to meet her niece and take a concubine.

Lai Shi still concealed this idea, because her husband made things difficult for her last time, and she had a showdown with him before the matter was settled, but she didn't expect to make troubles for her again now.

"All right!"

Lai decided to take advantage of this time to go to her natal family to communicate with her husband. If the husband supports it, she can give the niece a betrothal gift just this time, and the concubine doesn't need a matchmaker.

Anyway, as long as the dowry is given, it doesn't matter if there is no dowry, a small sedan chair is carried in the door.

Hongji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his mother stopped talking, and smiled apologetically at his daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li also gave her husband a look back, saying that it doesn't matter, as long as they go back to their natal home together smoothly.

How did the couple think that Lai would plot against them at this time?
Ye Shiqi was drinking a glass of goat's milk with her sisters under the arrangement of the maid, and she was full after eating two pieces of snacks.

From the grandma's order at the beginning, to the smooth agreement later, she felt that grandma's expression was a little strange, she looked at grandma calmly, and suddenly couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

At this moment, she just felt that grandma might want to take her son, daughter-in-law, and them back to her natal family, so that it would be more honorable to see her family.

Fighting with my mother to go back to her natal home today may be for the sake of fighting with my mother.

Ye Shiqi never imagined that grandma would have such thoughts, and what happened two years ago was another plan.

As a granddaughter, Ye Shiqi and grandma are not very close, ignoring the person who grandma said wanted to be her father's concubine, her second aunt and third aunt are married, even if there is such a girl, it has been two or three It's been a year, and I should be married too!

Ye Shiqi didn't continue to wait in the dining room when she was full. She went back to her room and prepared something.

Go to see my cousin and prepare a gift.

Ye Shiqi's gifts were not cheap either, the red sandalwood that his father brought before, or blue, old sandalwood, pear blossom wood scraps.

I prepared a birthday present for Tang Shunyan, and later made combs for my grandparents, my parents and their five sisters, and used old sandalwood to make the rest and smaller wood.

He thought of the bigger beads that he made for Tang Shunyan before and put them on his hands.

The smaller ones can also be made into beads, or they can be made into beautiful jewelry by sticking some of the wood together with the slime made from wood made by the wood factory of my father.

Of course, I also made a beautiful gourd pendant for myself, and hung it around my neck with a red string.

Knowing that she has such a beautiful wooden gourd, all the sisters want to have it.

In desperation, I had to make Pixiu bracelets for them. A small Pixiu was strung with a red string and then weaved the red string into a beautiful bracelet.

Of course, I didn’t just make one bracelet. Besides one for each of the five sisters, I also made one for the little brother. I even made a gift and prepared to give the beautiful bracelets to my cousins ​​during the time when I was visiting relatives today.

Such good treatment is not available to everyone, except for the closest people, there is no such gift.

In order to prevent my aunt from wanting such a beautiful bracelet when she sees them, she also made an extra Pixiu pendant for her older little cousin.

Doing so many jewelry, except for her class time, aerobics, and play time, the time in the past two months has been full.

In fact, everything is placed in her space, and there is no need to go back to the room to prepare. She does this to pack the things first, and she can't take things out casually when she goes to a relative's house.

Mrs. Li asked people to prepare gifts, wrapped up her youngest son tightly, and put all the personal gifts into the ox cart.

Today they went to their natal family to take an ox cart, leaving the rest of the ox cart to the Lai family.

During the Chinese New Year, some workers were given holidays, and the coachmen were also given holidays for two or three days. The father and son could temporarily work as coachmen.

Hongji asked someone to pull the bullock cart out, and then he, dressed in rich clothes, sat on the handlebars of the bullock cart in a rather unsightly manner.

Looking back, I watched the workers loading things on the bullock cart, and then the wife and five daughters got into the cart, feeling crowded, and another little maid got on the cart.

At this moment, Hongji had another thought in his head. Although the bullock cart is good, it may already be considered capable in this rural area.

But the ox cart is not big with the partitions installed, and it will leak air in winter. He remembered that some rich people would use horse carts.

He doesn't think he has become a rich man now, maybe he can easily buy a horse in the near future, it can be packed into an ordinary carriage, it doesn't need to be too luxurious, as long as it can protect his wife and children from wind and rain .

It’s better to have people transporting goods in a horse-drawn cart. It’s better if it’s a sunny day. If it’s raining, the ox cart’s rudimentary fenders will definitely leak!

On the other side of the ox cart, Lai arranged for a little maid to load things into the ox cart. In order to show that she was a rich old lady, she also brought a little maid for herself.

Sitting in front of the bullock cart, the handlebar-style Hongji dad used the short time to eat bamboo cigarettes and wait for the maid to carry things away.

He helped the obese Lai into the ox cart, and the little maid also climbed into the ox cart. He didn't put the bamboo tube cigarettes in the room, but put them under the tool box on the seat, ready to drive the cattle.

Hongji's father is used to eating bamboo tube cigarettes, and now that he is a little richer, he likes the taste. He doesn't think that eating small pipe tobacco will taste better.

He saw that his son had already driven the ox cart out of the yard gate, and he followed with the ox.

The father and son drove the ox cart on the main road in the village, one behind the other, and those men who walked with their daughter-in-law to their mother's house envied them.

Their daughters-in-law are even more envious, how warm and face-saving it would be if they rode in an ox cart in winter.

The bullock cart was not going fast, and the village people who turned around and asked the father and son when they saw the father and son at the side of the road saw that the father and son were dressed so brightly, and the rich man drove the carriage.

I don't think others will lose face like this, compared to their family walking like them two years ago.

How would others feel if they hadn't seen the gifts on the sealed ox cart?

When the father and son were inquiring by the villagers, they simply said that they were going to visit relatives.

Two bullock carts left the village entrance, and the father and son separated and drove in opposite directions.
