Bringing the system to be a little ancestor in the 80s

Chapter 12 Mysterious Gift

Time flies, and it's almost New Year's Eve.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are killed.

These days, there is not much rations, and in summer, pig grass can be cut. In winter, the sweet potatoes for pigs have to be saved from people’s mouths. A family that can raise a pig is considered a hard-working family.

However, half of a pig has to be handed over to the state, and the remaining half is distributed to the whole family. Obviously, there are too many monks and too little food.

But this is already one of the few expectations of the farmers throughout the year.

Old Man Qiao also hired a pig butcher to help him kill pigs.

It's not enough to hire a pig butcher, but you have to ask neighbors to help press the pigs.

This is the rule in the village. After the pig is killed, the pig is boiled in water and the villagers who help the village have a meal.

This is called killing pig rice, which is indispensable every year.

But this year, Old Man Qiao was turned down when he asked others for help.

The old man Qiao, who was belatedly aware of it, suddenly realized that no one seemed to ask him to help this year.

In the end, the man from Aunt Hu's house next door came to help press the pig.

After killing the pig, Qiao's family kept Aunt Hu's family drinking and eating, making a fuss until midnight, and at the end of the day, they even cut a large piece of meat for Aunt Hu.

Liu Ruoyun took another bag of fruit candy and put it in Aunt Hu's hand, "Take it back and give it to the children."

Aunt Hu said, "Oh, why are you being so polite? How about some help from the folks in the village?"

The action was still very honest, and he hurriedly put the candy up, as if he was afraid that Liu Ruoyun would regret it.

As soon as Aunt Hu left, sister-in-law Wu Guifang became unhappy.

"It's fine if you take such a big piece of meat, and you still have to give sugar, so it's a little help, what's the matter?"

Before Liu Ruoyun could speak, Old Man Qiao rushed to speak first.

"What do you know? Our family's life is getting better, and it is rare for a village to have jealousy. At this time, there are still people who are willing to help us. That's because they are kind.

But we can't chill people's hearts. "

Old man Joe finally got to the point.

Liu Ruoyun said: "Shooting the top bird, I'm afraid our family will have a hard time in the village in the future. Maybe there will be more places to trouble Aunt Hu in the future."

Wu Guifang pouted at this.

She only knew that it was a pity that such a good bag of candy would be so good to save for her family's pillars and beans.

While walking into the house, he murmured brokenly: "You guys are biased. Now that the second child can make money, she can do whatever she says."

In this regard, the family expressed their helplessness.

After killing the New Year's pigs, with the chewing head, it's just waiting for the New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, Qiao's family got ready early.

Post couplets, fried fruit, and bread dumplings...

Zhuzi and Douzi ran around the village with firecrackers, pockets full of snacks.

Liu Ruoyun changed Qiao Sisi into a newly made dress, which was navy blue and had no pattern, but it fit well. The neckline was inlaid with a white princess collar, which made Qiao Sisi more white and tender.

Such clothes are not good, but compared to the children in the same village wearing old clothes, they are much better.

The snow outside was getting heavier, and it was so white that the branches of an orange tree in front of the house broke with a "click".

Liu Ruoyun hugged Qiao Sisi to the window, watching the lively fireworks outside.

"Sisi, this is the first year you and your mother have spent, our Sisi, don't worry, you can grow up slowly and healthy.

Spend the first year with my mother, and the second year..."

When Liu Ruoyun said these words, her voice became soft unconsciously.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, each household began to visit each other.

Because the slaughter of pigs did not help, the villagers were embarrassed to come to Qiao's house, but they urged their children to come to Qiao's house to celebrate the New Year.

They have all heard that Aunt Hu came to help once, not to mention the pork, and a large bag of fruit candy, but they regretted it all.

This wave of wool must find a way to get it back.

Liu Ruoyun is not stingy, the grievances between adults are the business of adults and have nothing to do with children.

Listening to the children calling her "Aunt Liu" sweetly, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

Before becoming a mother, she had no feelings for children. After becoming a mother, she has no resistance to children.

So for every child who came to pay New Year's greetings, she sealed a penny red envelope and added a piece of fruit candy.

But this did not attract the gratitude of the villagers, but a lot of complaints.

"I wear new clothes and eat whipped cream. This is what I gave to my family? Sending off beggars."

On this day, Qiao's family also received a package with the words - I wish Qiao Sisi a happy new year and healthy growth.

It was Qiao Anjie who got the package, and showed it to Liu Ruoyun with some doubts.

"Who is this?"

Liu Ruoyun also felt strange: "I don't know, this handwriting doesn't look like it was written by a human being, it looks like... the words on a newspaper."

Qiao Anjie frowned. It's not like a villager could write such a word.

"Isn't it the county magistrate?"

The only person they knew who had access to a typewriter was the county magistrate.

Although it is unlikely, but after eliminating all impossible options, the remaining one, no matter how outrageous it is, can only be the truth.

Liu Ruoyun was also uncertain: "But I only told him the approximate location of our home, how did he send it here?"

"Oh, don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Since it was sent to Sisi, you should open it and have a look."

Qiao Anjie tore open the package.

Excuse me, white rabbit toffee.

This thing is only stuffed in a gift box when someone else gets married, and you can't usually buy it in these places.

The strong milk flavor can be lingered for several days, and children would lick the candy paper clean after eating it.

And in this package, there are several large packages.

A box of Shaqima, a box of malted milk, a large box of egg cakes...

But they are all in short supply.

Qiao Anjie looked terrified.

"With such a large sum of money, there is no other person except the county magistrate."

Qiao Anjie couldn't help sighing: "It seems that the county magistrate has really cultivated you as a talent."

Liu Ruoyun had an indescribable weirdness, but she couldn't think of any other reason.

He could only say: "It doesn't matter who gave it to Sisi, since it was given to Sisi, let's save it for Sisi, don't give it to others.

If it is really the county magistrate, I will work hard in the future and just repay him. "

With this in mind, Liu Ruoyun rushed to work as soon as the year was over.

The county magistrate said she could go later, but she had no intention of being late.

She goes to work at 08:30 in the county, and she gets up at five o'clock, which is nothing to the villagers.

Seeing that it was still dark, Qiao Anjie was worried about his daughter-in-law and insisted on sending her off.

As a result, Qiao Sisi, who was still sleepy, was picked up by her parents again.

Putting her in the back basket and going to sleep, her father was riding a bicycle, her mother was carrying her on her back, and the family of three walked on the small roads in the countryside facing the first ray of light in the morning.
