The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 135 New Year Countdown

With the great help of Fang's, Wei's and Wu's, the three baptisms hosted by Su Yunduo were quite successful.

All the folks in the village gave Su Yunduo a thumbs-up, praising her for being smart and capable, and there was even a woman who happened to have a son about Su Yunduo's age in her family or relatives and friends' family, and whispered to Su Yunduo on the grounds of visiting Ning. Ning asked about Su Yunduo's marriage.

Regarding Su Yunduo's marriage, Ning's was naturally very concerned. Even when she was still living in the old Su's family, she secretly showed Su Yunduo without telling Yang and others, but none of them were suitable.

It's either that she doesn't like the young people, or that they don't like the cowardly Su Yunduo. Occasionally, there are two people who have some opinions on each other, and the Yang family or the young Yang family who have heard the news will soon be in order. Mixed up for excuses.

After being separated, Ning family was worried about Su Chengzhi's condition, and his body was getting heavier and heavier, so he no longer had the energy to worry about Su Yunduo's marriage.

There are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, although Fang really wants to stay in Geshan Village to take care of Ning for the confinement, but Ning urges Fang to go home.

Su Yunduo wanted to stay with Fang for a few more days, but he also knew that it was unreasonable to keep Fang in Geshan Village, so he had to promise again and again that he would take good care of Ning and would never let Ning get any more distractions.

After getting along for a few days, Mrs. Fang couldn't be more relieved about Su Yunduo's ability to manage the family. Regardless of her young age, she is more thoughtful and meticulous in taking care of Mrs. Ning than those old women. Girls who have studied medicine just don't care. Same!
Although Fang still had various concerns in his heart, he finally returned to Heishui Town with his family.

Ning is going to be confinement, and there is no way to go back to her natal home on the second day of the new year. Fang plans to come to Geshan Village to see Ning and his little grandson while his son brings his grandchildren and his wife back to his natal home, so this matter will be kept private. Li and Su Yunduo talked.

Although it doesn't suit the situation, it would be great if grandpa and grandma could come on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Su Yunduo just tried to persuade her a few words, and seeing Fang's words were firm, she stopped trying to persuade her. Shi asked Su Chengzhi to take Su Zexuan to drive the carriage to Heishui Town to pick up the old couple.

As he was talking, Ning Zhongping listened to everything, so he came over to join in the fun, and there was a more appropriate arrangement for this matter.

With Ning Zhongping stepping in forcefully, it is natural that Su Chengzhi is no longer needed to pick up the person, and Ning Zhongping will directly send the person over.

It was only then that Su Yunduo realized that there was no one in Shen's natal family, so naturally there was no one to leave on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so he and Su Yunduo's grandparents would come to Su's house to have fun.

According to Fang's statement, it's even more mysterious: "It's also good, let your little aunt hug Xiao Si more, maybe you can give your little uncle a little hair."

Yep, Fang's is treating Su Xiaosi as a child-giving boy.

Su Yunduo turned his head to look at Su Xiaosi who was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, and couldn't help showing a sympathetic smile.

"Why did you pick up so much food, kid?" With the support of her two daughters-in-law, Fang got into the carriage. When she saw several baskets, she naturally knew that the baskets must be the fresh food that Su Yunduo specially went to the mountain to harvest. He likes it but still casts a glance at Su Yunduo and said.

Su Yunduo glanced at the basket in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Grandma always wants to make the neighbors happy when she goes back. One family will have one family, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep much in the end. Cousin tomorrow When delivering the food, I'll bring some more. Don't worry, grandma, we still have enough food for our family."

The Fang family wanted to say something more, but Ning Dakun interrupted: "Why are you being polite, old woman? This is the filial piety of my granddaughter, let's continue."

When the old man opened his mouth, Fang naturally couldn't say anything more, so he gave Ning Dakun a glance, turned to Su Yunduo and said, "Then grandma will accept it with a smile. I should rest more on weekdays."

Fang Shi has seen how busy Su Yunduo is every day, and Su Yunduo will be even busier after she leaves, and it really hurts to say it.

But since the new year is coming, it is not easy for her to stay in Geshan Village to take care of her daughter. She naturally believes that the two daughters-in-law will not say anything, but she is worried that others will say that Ning is not sensible. No matter how worried she is, she can only go back temporarily. In Heishui Town, fortunately, there are only less than ten days before Chinese New Year, and the second day of junior high school can come to visit Ning Shi and the delicate and lovely little person in her arms.

Reluctantly watching a horse-drawn cart and a mule cart gradually drifting away from sight, Su Yunduo began to make various preparations for the New Year.

The second day after the third wash is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. For farmers, no matter how poor the family is, they have to enter the countdown to the New Year.

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the Stove King will go to heaven, so it is natural to arrange a sacrifice to the stove.

The Stove Lord is considered to be the guardian god of the family. On this day, the Stove Lord will go to heaven to report the situation of each household. Every household will clean the kitchen stove on this day, and then serve delicious food to make the stove The prince should say good things for his family, and look forward to eating well in the coming year.

Even though he knew it was just superstition, Su Yunduo still carefully prepared a table of rich meat and vegetables, snacks and candies, and Su Zexuan and Su Zechen were led by Su Chengzhi to sacrifice to the stove in a solemn manner.

It is reasonable to say that the general cleaning a year ago was quite a heavy job, but because Fang did this work in advance, even the bedding has been cleaned for Su Yunduo, which saved Su Yunduo a lot of work, and he only needs to take advantage of the sun to clean it. Just take out a few beddings at home and dry them in the sun.

The family's new clothes and shoes for the New Year were already prepared before Ning's delivery, so Su Yunduo didn't need to worry about it.

In previous years, most of the Spring Festival couplets of each household in Geshan Village were made by Su Chengzhi, and the window grilles were almost all made by the skillful Ning family, but this year is different.

One is that there are a few more children in the village, and the other is that the Ning family has just given birth and is still in confinement. The folks in the village are quite self-conscious. Few people asked for it, after all, Ning couldn't be too tired, let alone use scissors.

Of course, there were also a few that begged to come to the door because they saw the window grilles that Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought home, which Fang had cut out some time ago.

Ning's skill of cutting window grilles was originally from Fang's. Although Fang's eyesight is not as good as when she was young, but the paper-cutting craft is burned in her mind, and she doesn't need to look at it at all. feel.

Every time I watch Fang's cutting window grilles, I always feel it is a kind of enjoyment. I can cut many auspicious and festive window grilles just by doing whatever I want. ...it's really pretty.

Because the Fang family didn't cut much, in order to prevent one family from having another, Su Yunduo simply asked for nothing, but it didn't arouse everyone's dissatisfaction.
