She is different from the empress in the history books

But Xu Zhao didn't have a good time feeding the dog, dangling back and forth with the meat in his chopsticks, his eyes still focused on the contact between Qi Fei and Senior Brother Chen, his mouth was not idle, and he had to deal with Mr. Qi's questioning.After going back and forth, Xu Zhao's inattention annoyed the two dogs beside him. Fortunately, the Qi family has kept dogs for many years, and the education is not bad. The two dogs panted and stared at the meat, but they also If you don't come up, you will bite with your mouth.

But Xu Zhao didn't know that most of the pets kept by his aunts, uncles and sisters were orange cats with amber eyes, or they were birds with beautiful feathers and fish swaying in the water. He had never had much contact with dogs. Especially the big black dog that comes to the nursing home.

When Xu Zhao realized that the two dogs were breathing closely next to him, he stiffened his neck and slowly lowered his head, and then...

One was running forward with a bowl of meat in his arms, and the two were chasing after him obsessively. The former thought he was the one being chased, but he didn’t expect that for the latter, what they were really interested in was actually what was in the bowl. of meat.

Qi Fei yelled a few words from behind, causing the two dogs to reluctantly stop and run back with their tails between their legs.

But Xu Zhao didn't dare to look back, just stood far away, watching Qi Fei coaxing the dog in surprise.

Qi Fei couldn't help cursing in a low voice:
"What a fool."

"It's stupid, I'm still timid."

Mr. Qi agreed.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Qi Fei lowered her head unnaturally.

Xu Zhao's life in his hometown was leisurely and thrilling, but Cheng Fei's life in his hometown was much more enjoyable. The man who wanted to enter the palace to give New Year's gifts stayed in the Cheng family's old house for two days, and then re-entered openly after he was ready. city.As for their affairs, Cheng Fei didn't care about them and didn't have the energy to do so, because her family went back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

The population of Cheng's family is quite prosperous. In Cheng Fei's generation, there are five brothers and two younger sisters. Each family has at least three children. It is Cheng Fei and his family. Five or six children are commonplace.

And Cheng Fei's cousins, brothers and sisters are all married, and many of them have the next generation. In addition, when they come back, other relatives in Cheng's village also visit, so The huge house was quickly filled to the brim.

Cheng Fei's eldest aunt has been a widow for many years, and her children are all married, so she doesn't take much care of things, so Cheng Fei's mother has become the head of the back house, so busy that she doesn't have time to talk to her daughter.

When she managed to spend the night looking for Cheng Fei, the mother and daughter started arguing after a few words.

In fact, it is very simple. Cheng Fei's mother is actually a very ordinary peasant woman. After all, when she married in, Pei Peng hadn't left the palace to open a house, and the Cheng family was just an ordinary farmer.

After Pei Peng got in touch with his uncle's family, it was impossible for them to divorce their wives. What's more, the Cheng family had only improved a little through Pei Peng's relationship. There was no need to make the family restless because of this improvement. Not to mention that Cheng Fei's grandfather who was still alive at the time would never allow it, and even Pei Peng would not condone them doing this.

Although Cheng Feiniang has seen more after living in the city for these years and has more important things to arrange, when it comes to raising her children, her ideas are as simple and crude as ever: her son should build his strength, build a house and find a wife for him; The daughter should teach her cooking and housework, and save her dowry to find a son-in-law for her.

The first two children were raised in this way, and they were all relatively smooth. When it came to Cheng Fei, it was troublesome.

Pei Peng wrote back and said that she was looking for Cheng Fei's marriage. Cheng Fei's mother naturally knew what was going on. If the princess took action, the son-in-law she could find would definitely be better than her.

But as a mother, even if the decision is not up to her, she still wants to ask about the situation, and she will inevitably say a few words, "The family the princess has found for you must be from a high family. You must be filial to your parents-in-law, take care of your husband, and have a baby as soon as possible." Son" and so on.Cheng Fei was not happy to hear it. She was not the original owner in the first place, and her feelings for Cheng Feiniang were limited. What's more, even her own mother said that she would have to fight back, let alone others. Out of politeness and respect for the original owner, With respect, I endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back.

The mother and daughter broke up unhappy.

When Cheng Fei thought that she would stay here until the end of the year before returning to Chengyang County, she felt very tormented, especially after the quarrel, Cheng Fei Niang might feel that her little daughter's thoughts were not normal, and she always wanted to turn her around. So he talked to Cheng Fei frequently.

Cheng Fei played hide-and-seek with the other party, and finally ran into the aunt's yard.

She is an old woman in her fifties, and she is not beautiful. The dimples on her face and the rough texture of her hands can still be seen from her farm work when she was young. Even if it's good, it can't be eliminated.

Her daughter was married out of town, and her sons were either working in the capital or traveling with Pei Peng's caravan, supervising them as her own. Therefore, as the Chinese New Year was approaching, other people were surrounded by their children, but she was Alone.

She has been a widow for a long time. The Cheng family does not pay attention to these things. She comes from a peasant family and wants to get benefits. She will not restrict a laborer from leaving the house. If she encounters a family with a difficult family situation, her husband's family People still have to rush to find a home for the widow.

Therefore, in this bustling time, the aunt's loneliness is more of her own choice.

As soon as Cheng Fei left, she was very welcoming. She took Cheng Fei's hand with a rough hand, touched her face naturally, and asked her why she remembered to come.

Cheng Fei complained a few words about the quarrel with her mother, and on a piece of cloth spread out by her aunt on the floor, she saw a few paper patterns that were cut beautifully with scissors, although they were only common auspicious patterns during Chinese New Year, such as lotus flowers Lah, bats and the like, they are indeed exquisite.

"Auntie, do you still have this skill? The haircut is so beautiful."

Cheng Fei couldn't help but search through the original owner's memory to see if she had missed it.After all, it’s impossible for the aunt to never show off such a good craftsmanship once.

Cheng Fei was surprised to find that no.

She really never found out that her aunt used these patterns to decorate her home during the Chinese New Year.

The uncle smiled lightly, and said bitterly:
"As a widowed woman at a young age, I can't use these things to stick on the wall. So I don't cut them often. Today I suddenly remembered and cut them a few times."

"how come?"

Cheng Fei was puzzled:

"A good thing is a good thing. What does it have to do with widowhood? There are too many men whose wives have died. The jewelry they made, the wine they made, and the dowry furniture they made are all sold."

The aunt liked what Cheng Fei said very much, but she still refused Cheng Fei's request to post her paper cuttings on the wall. (End of chapter)
