Chapter 203 Preparing Engagement Candy
Wei Xin sniffed and nodded in a muffled voice.

On the Anjia side, the family sat in the main room to warm up by the fire, and the firelight was printed on everyone's faces full of joy.

Mrs. An stretched out her hand and approached the fire, and said with a smile: "Yanshu is engaged this time, do you want to invite the villagers to have fun?"

Old Man An thought for a while and shook his head: "Who would be willing to come out in this cold day, let's forget it."

"I'm thinking that since we're engaged, we should let others know no matter what. Those people who save me gossip secretly. Our family is not afraid to talk about it, but they are afraid that they will talk about Xin girl."

An Zhinan was thoughtful, thought for a while and said, "Grandma, why don't you go to the town tomorrow morning to buy some candy and melon seeds, and send some to the uncles and aunts in the village, and by the way, tell me about the elder brother's engagement ,how do you feel?"

Mrs. An slapped her thigh fiercely, and her eyes lit up: "Okay, that's a good idea. If you eat people with a soft mouth, you can talk about the matter again, and it will save you a lot of money compared to having a banquet. Haha, this is good, let's do it like this." , Zhongyuan will send me to the town to buy some things tomorrow morning, and then we will distribute them door to door."

Old Man An and the others quite agree with this idea.

It's winter now, and the roads outside are covered with snow and it's not easy to walk at all. At this time, most people don't want to go out, and they spend money and make people talk about it.

The next few people began to discuss how much to buy, especially melon seeds and peanuts.

An Zhinan glanced at the sky, realized it was still early, and said, "Grandma, do you still have enough linen at home?"

"What the heck, that thing kills, what do you want it to do?"

An Zhinan lifted the purse at his waist, and said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that melon seeds and peanuts are not easy to pack, anyway, I am free now, let's make some simple bags, and when the time comes, melon seeds, peanuts and candies will be packed together." It’s so convenient to put it in a bag, one bag for each family.”

"Oh, Nannan's idea is really good. While you are all at home and there are more people, I will go and get the linen. Let's make more."

Mrs. An said that the wind is the rain, so she rushed out.

Several people in the room looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly at the same time for a while.

Chen Jingrong looked at her daughter softly and said, "How to make it simpler? Your elder brother is a happy event, and the linen is pure white."

This got to the point, An Zhinan thought for a while and said: "I remember I bought some red paper in the town before, mother, you are handy, or you can work hard to cut some happy characters, and then you can Glued to the bag in a daze."

Chen Jingrong's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the whole family started cutting the linen together, sewed it with needles and threads, and finally strung the cloth strips so that the openings of the cloth strips can be tightened, really like a simple purse.

The last step is to use rice paste to paste the happy characters cut by Chen Jingrong on the bag, and you're done.

It wasn't until dinner time that a few people made fifty, but it was expected to be one hundred.

After dinner, the family continued with the afternoon's work, and they didn't finish until sleepiness struck.

Mrs. An stretched her waist and got up to stretch her muscles. Looking at the fruits of labor on the ground, she smiled and waved her hands: "Okay, everything is done, everyone go back to the house and rest."

An Zhinan hurried forward to help old man An get up, then said goodnight to the others and went back to bed.

After waking up, a thick layer of snow had piled up in the yard. When I opened the door, a gust of cold wind ran through my body. It was so cold that An Zhinan quickly closed the door, wrapped it in a thick cloak before daring to go out, and put his hands crossed into his sleeves. wrapped in.

Chen Jingrong came out of the kitchen when she heard the commotion, and waved to An Zhinan with a basin of hot water: "Come here and wash your face, it's snowing heavily today, your father and your grandma went to town, come back later, and wash your face in a while Put on some cream to save your face from cracking."

An Zhinan nodded obediently, after washing his face, he put on the cream that An Zhiyan bought for him, and the aroma instantly smelt his nostrils.

An hour or so later, Mrs. An and the others came back with a few big bags. When they entered the door, they saw the thick snow in the yard that had not been cleared. They were so angry that they yelled at the main room, "Old man, die!" Where did it go? Didn’t I ask you to clean the yard before going out? If you’re blind, you can’t see how snowy it is? If someone accidentally falls, you’ll pay me money?”

"It's coming, it's coming, isn't it, what are you yelling in the morning, don't let people rest and do it again."

Old man An walked slowly to the corner with his hands behind his back, and picked up the broom to clean up the snow.

An Zhiyan, An Yanshu and the two of them dared not watch their grandfather make a move, quickly put the things in his hands into the main room, and then came out to help clean the yard.

Mrs. An snorted coldly: "Do you need the three of you to sweep the yard? Yanshu Zhizhi said don't do it, the yard is for your father to deal with, you two and your father went to clear the snow on the roof, and you all watched it. Don't fall off."

After arranging the work of several big men, Mrs. An beckoned to take An Zhinan and Chen Jingrong back to the main room, then pointed to a few bags on the ground and said, "I bought all the peanuts, melon seeds and candies. I bought a lot of each, so it should be enough." .”

Chen Jingrong exclaimed: "Mother, you bought so much, it must be a lot of money."

"No matter how much it is, it's cheaper than running a banquet. It looks like you are petty. It's your son's marriage, and you didn't ask you to pay a penny. Don't talk about it. The three of us quickly packed up the things and let the heavy ones come in the afternoon." Go to the village head's house to borrow a bullock cart and distribute it door to door."

Saying that, Mrs. An turned her head to look at An Zhinan and asked, "Good granddaughter, how much do you think we should pretend?"

After looking at the number of peanuts and melon seeds on the ground, An Zhinan casually picked up the bag he made yesterday, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds into the house bag, and grabbed a handful of peanuts, then brought a candy bag and counted three or four candies, Fasten it last.

"That's it, a handful of melon seeds, a handful of peanuts, four or five candies, about the same."

Mrs. An responded with a smile, and began to roll up her sleeves to work.

Chen Jingrong also followed suit.

A few people outside carefully cleared the snow, and a few people inside the house concentrated on loading things. Everyone had a clear division of labor and the efficiency was not low.

Old man An cleaned up the snow in the yard, looked up at the three people on the roof, raised his voice and said, "Father and son, be careful, Yan Shu knows the words, watch your father, don't fall."

"I know grandpa."

Afterwards, old man An took a broom to clean up the snow around the window, hammered a hammer on his waist, and walked out of the gate.

Except for the wheel marks, there are no other footprints outside the door.

After clearing the snow outside the yard, old man An didn't go home, but walked towards Liao's house next door, and cleaned up the snow at Liao's gate before returning home.

"Chongyuan, it will be cleaned up in a while, I will ask your grandma to get the key, and clean up the roof of the next door, so that the wood will not be soaked."

An Zhongyuan responded with a loud voice.
