The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 250 Don't Test People's Hearts Easily
This year's New Year's Eve dinner is richer than previous years, especially hard dishes.

Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available, as well as vegetables, fruits and snacks.

The ones that need to be stewed are ready now, and then the fried things are made. There are various dishes in the evening.

The staple food is dumplings, which are pork, beef and meat dumplings with thin skin and big stuffing. The Qiaomomo, which was made yesterday, will be eaten on the morning of the first day of the new year.

The meatballs are divided into meatballs and vegetarian meatballs. There are radish balls, mung bean balls, sweet potato balls, and lotus root sandwiches, etc. Fang Qingqing likes them all.

In the country, there may be less other things during the Chinese New Year, but vegetarian meatballs are full.

And this year I also made a lot of meatballs, including pork balls and beef balls.

While the three sisters-in-law were busy there, the children drooled in unison.

Even Da Mao, who is already a half-grown boy, is no exception. In the past, there were very few opportunities to eat so much meat at home.

Not only that, Fang Qingqing also made a simple version of chicken nuggets and chicken popcorn together with Mrs. Li, and put all kinds of fried food in a clean washbasin.

Four large pots just happened to be installed, and Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao and Si Mao took these out together, smelling the aroma of food along the way.

There was a happy smile on his face.

"This year has been the best year I've ever had."

Several children think so;
In fact, the adults also felt the same way, and the smiles on their faces were also extraordinarily bright.

Human relations are mutual, and Li Xiuping sent New Year's gifts to those families, so naturally they all had people come to Li's house.

Among them, the gift from Prince An's Mansion was the most expensive, a set of jade heads and a box of pearls.

Li Xiuping and Qingqing were alright, but they frightened the Li family.

Even if they have seen less of the world and don't understand the market, they still know the value of these things.

Especially Li Erlang, he said: "I don't know how much this whole set is worth, but I know that a whole set is definitely worth more than one or two pieces. And the quality|color|color|of these pearls also looks very good, it's a waste of money. gone."

This is of course, anyway, Prince An is the emperor's brother who is still alive in this world.

Even if it's for the ministers in the court, His Majesty the Emperor can't treat their family too badly, and there are many reward classes during the festivals.

Fang Qingqing put away that set of tricks, but she was not stingy with the pearls, and the women in the family, old and young, each shared a few.

It turned out that there were still many in the box. Hey, Princess Anle paid for it this time.

Fang Qingqing just sighed in her heart, and of course she couldn't tell other people about the past disputes between Prince An's Mansion and Li Xiuping.

He just said: "This Prince An is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and he is a member of the royal family. I have never seen any good things. These are only valuable to us, but they are nothing to nobles like them."

Old man Li and the others were all very surprised. Such a noble person actually made friends with their youngest?

There was a lot of discussion, but Fang Qingqing thought it was funny.

If so, they knew that they had the opportunity to be in-laws with such a noble person.

In the end, because of her, I couldn't do it, would I regret it?

Then, don't like her daughter-in-law?

Fang Qingqing just thought about it in her heart, and didn't say these words to the rest of Lao Li's family.

Since it's something that hasn't happened now, why bother to say it out loud?
Human nature has an inferior side, and it is easy to hurt people's hearts if they try it casually.

After all, they are farmers who are used to working, and they really can't sit still if they are asked to sit and wait for food.

So the old man Li simply took his three good sons to clean up the yard again, and even put up couplets with blessings on them and set off firecrackers.

In the past, if I was in good health, the Spring Festival couplets at home were written by Saburo, but I didn't dare to write more.

It's too cold, too hot, too tired, and I don't know how many [-]s, and I still need to ask a doctor to prescribe a soothing decoction at home.

Shi Shi took the little hand of the third daughter-in-law, and remembered something, her eyes were red.

"Qingqing, the best thing I did in my life was to give birth to Saburo; and the best thing I did in my life was to help Saburo marry you back."

Since Qingqing came in, Saburo's health improved day by day, and his family members seemed to have fallen into a lucky nest.

Look at the cured fish and bacon falling on the porch in the yard. How could it be possible to do this in the past, and the big guys are very happy to eat a few more catties of meat during the Chinese New Year.

Fang Qingqing didn't take credit for it, and said with a smile: "The family is getting more and more prosperous, and that's all thanks to the father and mother, who taught them well."

But as he talked, Shi Shi thought of the eldest daughter who was still in the country, and felt a little uncomfortable.

And in the same way, Fang Qingqing also thought of her family, did her parents still think about this little girl who went away during the Chinese New Year?
In the beginning, I came here because of the influence of the original owner's emotions, and also because of various reasons of joy.

Fang Qingqing doesn't have much affection for the other's family, and whenever she treats them better, she has to fulfill the original owner's obligation as the daughter of the Fang family.

Even when they went to the provincial capital and the capital together with Li Xiuping, they just thought that if they became prosperous in the future, they could also help their natal family a little bit.

It is impossible to help the poor, and the emergency does not save the poor, but it is still possible to give them some resources and teach them how to make money.

As long as the whole family can get enough food and clothing, Fang Qingqing feels that she has fulfilled her duty as a good daughter.

I used to think that she would not have the emotion of missing her relatives and homeland.

But now, on this big day of Chinese family reunion, Fang Qingqing still couldn't help thinking:
Is Dad's leg completely healed? I don't know how the tofu business of the eldest brother and sister-in-law is doing. How is the life of the second brother without his mother-in-law and bringing the child alone.

The third brother and the fourth brother learned to read characters with a few nephews, and I don't know if they have learned to write their own names.

She can't be as cruel as she thought, no matter how her surname is Fang, she is the little lady of the Fang family!

Only then did he think about whether he would go back with the old man to see when the younger sister was going to get married in the next year. When Shi came back to her senses, what she saw was the daughter-in-law who was in a daze and said nothing.

Can't help but ask: "Qingqing, what are you thinking?"

"I miss my parents, I don't know what they are doing now, I wonder if they are also waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Her parents are now guarding four sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. Why do the old people need to do the housework in person?

"Qingqing, are you homesick?"

Seeing Shi Shi, she felt a little distressed, no matter how sensible she is on weekdays, she is just a little lady who has just reached her age.

Fang Qingqing also returned to reality, but said to her mother-in-law:

"Mother, from now on, my home will be where you and Brother Sanlang are with them."

"However," Fang Qingqing added: "After all, they are the parents who gave birth to me and raised me. Last year, I was able to go back to my mother's house to pay New Year's greetings. I often go back to see them, but now I can't."
