Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 18

The next day, Gao Wencai's daughter-in-law, Gaoliang, came with a gift. When she came in, she had an apologetic expression and an aggrieved tone, saying that she only knew that her eldest niece had hurt her leg.

The Jiang family greeted them politely. Although Gao Cui scolded that room as shit behind his back, he did not slap the smiling faces. Besides, Gao Wencai and the others had just returned from Xuanqing Mansion not long ago. Reasonable, but it can't control the mother-in-law. In this world, filial piety is the foundation of all morality. No matter how capable a daughter-in-law is, she can't tell her suffering when she meets a bad-hearted mother-in-law.

Mrs. Gaoliang sat down on a square chair against the wall in front of the kang, and explained for a long time. Mrs. Jiang treated her sisters-in-law very hospitablely, but she didn't seem too affectionate.

The two sisters-in-law, if there is no Gao Lu family, they should be easy to get along with. The Gao Liang family is the daughter of a scholar, and she is also a gentle and polite person like the Jiang family, but she has been with her husband and son-in-law in Xuanqing Mansion. I went back to my hometown for a month, and I didn't see each other very much, and Gao Lu was in the middle, so I couldn't get close.

The head of the Gao family didn't completely quarrel with that family and cut off all contact, it was also because Gao Chengwang was honest and temperless about Gao Lu's mess, and couldn't control his wife. Gao Wencai inherited his father and couldn't control his mother even more. The daughter-in-law is always angry with his mother, so he doesn't care whether other people are angry with his mother. Even if she suffers, he will just apologize, and there is nothing he can do to his mother.

Before the Gao Liang family came, her heart was pumped with anger. Every year when she returned to her ancestral house, she had to make amends to the first-in-law's housewife. It was all because of what her mother-in-law did. She was still polite and didn't throw her out.

Seeing my eldest niece lying on the bed with a wooden crutch next to her, and seeing my sister-in-law and cousin helping my eldest niece get off the kang out of the house, the sound of the wooden crutches touched her heart, not pain, but shame.

She finished what she had to say, and she put down the things as soon as she entered the door. This would be cruel, and she took out the silver bills that she had just prepared for her husband-in-law. They entered the house and went out to say goodbye.

When Jiang came in and saw the banknote, she was speechless and puzzled. Gao Cui took it and accepted it, "Siblings, please don't return it. I think it was given by my cousin in-law. If you return it, my aunt must not scold my cousin." Daughter-in-law."

Gao Zhao also got on the kang with the help of the two, helped to look after his younger sister, asked his mother and aunt to bathe the two younger brothers, shaved their hair, and shaved them into the children's exclusive hairstyle. There is a circle on both sides of the head with hair, and the rest is shaved, just like the cute baby holding a fish in the New Year painting.

Once the Chinese New Year comes, the adults in the family will be busy, and Gao Zhao is responsible for taking care of the younger siblings. Sitting on the kang, she claps her hands and teaches her younger sister to sing the New Year's nursery rhymes.

Children, children, don't cry, the pigs will be killed after Laba.Don't be greedy, kids, it's New Years after Laba.Laba porridge, how many days to drink?Lili la la 23. 23, Tanggua sticky, 24, cleaning the house; 25, grinding tofu; 26, stewing mutton; 27, slaughtering a rooster, 28, making noodles; New Year's Eve twists and turns.

Gao Zhao clapped his hands, tilted his head from side to side and sang, the two younger brothers also sang along, but his younger sister, Qiao Yun, just stared at it blankly, which really made Gao Zhao frustrated, feeling like a silly elder sister, performing for her younger sister.

Gao Zhao pinched his sister's nose and asked, "Sister, can you sing?"

Qiaoyun wrinkled her nose, touched it with her hands, and said, "Qiaoyun is not greedy, and Qiaoyun is not crying."

Gao Zhao smiled crookedly, and after listening for a long time, his sister thought he was talking about her, so she just opened her eyes and watched, but didn't learn.

"Sister, this isn't about you, it's singing, it's a ballad." Gao Yangrong quickly explained to his sister.

At this time, the aunt came in with a hair cake, which was just steamed, and there was a red date on the hair cake.

"It's still hot, eat something while it's hot, auntie has to steam a few baskets, Zhao'er has taken care of my sister."

Xiang Lan brought hot water into the room, several people washed their hands, and ate hair cakes around the kang table.

Because on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, work is not allowed, especially those with knives and scissors. Therefore, steamed cakes and steamed buns are usually steamed on the 29th. There are many customs and taboos during the New Year.

The most taboo thing to say during the Chinese New Year is that there are too many, so many, that is too much dislike. God will not give you anything this year. Gao Zhao said that once in his previous life. He was beaten by his grandmother with chopsticks. Keep it in mind.

Here, every year Gao Zhao will explain to his younger brother in advance, so the two brothers will not talk nonsense, but Qiao Yun will not talk.

On New Year's Eve, worshiping the ancestors and inviting the Kitchen God, eating dumplings and setting off firecrackers for the New Year's Eve dinner, every house is lively and lively, Gao Zhao also leaned on crutches in the courtyard to watch his father and his younger brothers set off firecrackers, Qiao Yun in Jiang's arms ears.

On New Year's Eve, also known as staying up for the new year, on the thirtieth of every year, Gao Wenlin went to accompany his father, and Aunt Jiang took the children to talk, laugh and play in the main room until anyone who was sleepy went to sleep, and finally Jiang and Aunt were left until When Gao Wenlin came back, Auntie went to sleep.

Gao Wenlin was playing chess with his father in the front yard.In addition to watching the Book of Changes, Gao Chengji also has a hobby of playing chess. Gao Wenlin learned it to accompany his father. Although he is not very good, he just passed the time.

"Have you read the book for you?" Gao Chengji asked.

Gao Wenlin looked up at his father, "I gave Zhao'er everything."

"Look at it too."

"Ah."

Gao Chengji has always been reticent, but his children will listen to what he says. Gao Wenlin is thinking while playing chess, why let me see that?I didn't see them when I was young, but my father told me to take a look, so let's take a look, just to check how much my daughter has watched.

Jiang and eldest aunt waited for the children to fall asleep, and they chatted about family affairs. When it came to the eldest daughter, Jiang said worriedly: "Eldest sister, look at Zhao'er, why does it look like she hasn't grown up now? It's been thirteen years. Well, Guishui didn't come, she looks like a little lady, I can make up for her this month, I don't see how much fat she has gained."

Gao Cui said disapprovingly, "I didn't come until fifteen years after menarche, so I guess it looks like me."

Jiang thought to herself, it would be troublesome to be like you, married for several years without having a baby, husband dead and widowed and returned to her mother's family, without even a child, no, I have to find a lady Peng who treats women's diseases in the county. Look, there happened to be banknotes from my cousin and daughter-in-law, all of which went to make up for Zhao'er.

"Juanniang, I've seen Nian, please ask Mrs. Peng to come to the house and show Zhao'er. If you want to take tonic, you can use the money given by the sister-in-law, and don't use it for home use."

Jiang smiled, "Okay, listen to the eldest sister."

The elder aunt has nephews and nieces in her heart. Jiang is happy to see her, and is grateful for the help of the elder sister for many years. Without her, the family really can't get along.For so many years, there were not many servants in the family. The eldest sister did everything, and her daughter Gao Zhao was not like other young ladies who waited to be served, but instead helped bring up the two younger brothers.

The family is united in one mind, the more the better, the Jiang's mother-in-law will no longer be there after marrying, so when he enters the house, he will be the master of the house and live a happy life.
