Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 41
The words that Mrs. Chen said today really shocked everyone. It turned out that the old man had a wife before, and Mrs. Chen was someone else's house fill.The three Zhixin brothers were all a little puzzled, "Father, mother, why have I never heard of you?"

The old man smiled, "What's there to say? She didn't have a child at the beginning. You are all born to me and your mother. Your mother is a good-natured person, and she never cared about anything. We don't need it." Let’s talk about the past again. Every year on Qingming Festival, when we go to the grave, isn’t there a separate grave? There is no stele, that’s her grave. When your mother and I die, we can bury it next to her. .”

"Bah, what are you talking about? We still have to live well and see our great-grandson." The old lady patted the old man with a smile, then looked at her sons and said, "Okay, don't remember these too much, just take care of yourself." Life is better than anything else. This Huixin is also married, shouldn’t the fifth son go to the capital? When is Enke this year?” The old lady looked at Zhixiang.

"Mother, the test will be at the end of February. I have already discussed with my friends. I will leave after the fifteenth day. It will take about ten days to get to the capital. This way, I can rest in the capital for a while, so as not to be acclimatized. We There are four of us in total, and we can just stay at a friend's house, and we don't need to stay in a hotel, so my mother doesn't have to worry about it." Zhixiang handles things very safely, and has already arranged everything.

Mrs. Chen nodded, "Okay, that's fine, and the mother who is with you can rest assured."

Here Zhiming came forward, "Mom, we should go back to the county when Huixin returns home tomorrow. I have been away for more than ten days, and the family has asked neighbors to help take care of it. It is time to go back. We will not accompany you on the fifteenth day." Parents are over, take care of parents." He is a doctor, although he said that he would have a few days off during the New Year, but this person always gets sick regardless of the time, so the medical center is not like other businesses, it can be put on the [-]th day of the first lunar month .These few days should have gone back, until Huixin got married.

Both the old man and Mrs. Chen nodded in agreement, "Okay, it's not bad that you can come back to accompany us for a few days. You all have things to do, and you can't always stay at home. Parents are not unreasonable, they have to take care of you This is my home." As soon as Chen heard that her son was leaving, she went out to collect things.She was a person who was angry at home when she was young, and when she had a child, she loved the child very much.So every time the children come back, even if there is nothing good at home, we must bring them something back.Not to mention that the family is doing well this year, and there are still a lot of good things left after Huixin got married, so he quickly distributed some to his son.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the family started to get busy again. Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu cooked a lot of delicious dishes, and they were waiting for Huixin to come back.From the end of Chen Shi, Jing Han and Wen Han waited outside to see when little aunt would come back.

From a distance, I saw a carriage approaching, and as it approached slowly, I saw that the person on the carriage was my uncle, Tao Qingnian.The children hurried up to greet her, and surrounded them one by one, calling them little uncles.

When Tao Qingnian heard the children calling him that, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.He quickly turned around and lifted the cotton curtain of the car door, helped Huixin down, and then took out a bag of candy from the carriage and distributed it to the children. "Come on, uncle prepared this for you, take it and eat."

Wen Han led his younger brothers and sisters to receive the candy bags, and then Jing Han walked into the house with his little aunt.At this moment, movement was heard in the room, Mrs. Chen and the old man both came out. "Huixin, Qingnian, you are back, hurry up, go inside, it's cold outside." Chen looked at her daughter, she looked pretty good, it should be okay in Tao's house.I also relaxed a little in my heart, took my daughter's hand, and hurried into the house.

Both Huixin and Qingnian were allowed to sit on the top of the kang, and it was the first time for the new son-in-law to come to the door, so this must be treated well.Jinghan and Jingya are busy serving snacks and tea. "Little uncle, you drink water, and here are some snacks, eat whatever you want."

Tao Qingnian hurriedly thanked him, how did he get here for the first time, he was very restrained, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet down.Remembering that I brought a lot of presents, I hurried out to get them back and sent them to the old couple. "Father, mother, I don't know what the second elder likes, so don't blame me for your second elder."

What Tao Qingnian brought was nothing more than some snacks, tea leaves, two pieces of ruler, and a small jug of wine. These things are not too little as a homecoming gift.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "You just got married, so where do you have spare money, you don't need to buy us anything. As long as you and Huixin live well, we old people are happier than anything. Happy New Year, is Huixin at home? When you come to your house, you should teach me more about what you do. Where are your parents, what do you like and what do you dislike, you give more advice to Huixin. Family and everything are prosperous, only when the family is well, you can feel at ease outside, right? "Ms. Chen is still worried about Huixin, so she points to Tao Qingnian when she talks inside and outside.

This Tao Qingnian is also smart, knowing that his mother-in-law is asking him to protect his daughter-in-law more. "Mother, don't worry, Huixin married me, and I will definitely not make her feel wronged. Now that we are married, Mother has prepared such a generous dowry for Huixin, and I am very grateful. The guests who congratulate Xi are all boastful. They all say that our family is kind-hearted and puts our daughter first, and Huixin's dowry is the first in the town." Speaking of this, Tao Qingnian is sincerely grateful to the Xu family.When there were so many troubles in his family, he was not only willing to marry Huixin, but also gave him so much dowry and silver money, which was beyond Tao Qingnian's expectation.He was grateful to the Xu family in his heart, and naturally felt even more pity for Hui Xin.

Jing Han watched from the side, the little aunt was smiling all the time, she should be really happy.Seeing her little aunt like this, Jinghan was also happy for her, and having someone who truly loved her was more important than anything else.Looking back at Jingya, my sister is also eleven this year, in a few years, it's time for my sister to get married, right?In fact, Jingya looks a bit like Huixin, and she is also a beauty, so she might not be worse than little aunt in the future, right?I don't know who can have such a blessing to marry such a virtuous woman as my sister.For a while, Jinghan was thinking about it.

Jingya saw that Jinghan was in a daze, so she tugged Jinghan, "Come on, let's go out and see if mother and third aunt are busy, and help."

Jinghan recovered, and hurried to the kitchen with her sister.

This time, I don’t need to invite relatives and friends, it’s just my own family, so I don’t need to cook a lot of dishes, just prepare two tables.Coupled with the fact that Huixin still had some dishes left when she got married, she wasn't that busy.It didn't take long for all the dishes to be ready. "Jinghan, ask your grandma, when will the banquet be held, there are rules for the door this time, you have to go back before the sun sets. Let's not be too late."

Jing Han agreed, and then ran back to the house to tell Mrs. Chen that the food was ready.Mrs. Chen asked to set up the banquet quickly, and the girl should not stay with her mother's house for too long when she returns home, or her husband's family will not be willing.It's the first lunar month, and the days are not too long, and it will be dark at the end of Shenshi in the afternoon, so hurry up and let them go back after eating.The town is also close, and I will come back when I have time.

In this way, Wen Han and the others hurriedly put it on the table, and then helped to serve the dishes up. After a while, everything was set up, and everyone sat at the table.The old man said, "Today is a good day for Huixin and Qingnian to return home. If you can drink, drink some. Let's have a good time." After speaking, he put a piece of meat in Qingnian's bowl. "Qingnian, you are the son-in-law of the Xu family, and the son-in-law is the son-in-law. We are a family. We don't need to be heretics. We can eat whatever we want. You are open to drinking and eating, do you hear me?"

Tao Qingnian nodded, "Hey, don't worry, Dad, Qingnian won't pretend." After saying that, he brought some vegetables for Huixin. Seeing him like this, Huixin blushed and lowered her head to eat with a bowl.

When the Xu family saw this, they were all very happy. Huixin is doing well, and everyone can feel at ease.The old man asked the three Zhixin brothers to drink with Qingnian together, and he also told him not to drink too hard, and they will go back later.But that being said, how could Tao Qingnian dare not drink wine for the three brothers toast his sister-in-law?Fortunately, the men in the Northeast can drink quite well, and Tao Qingnian is still not drunk.

A meal starts at noon and is not finished until the middle of the day.Of course, these children are not counted. They finished their meal early and then ran out to play.The weather this year is still a bit cold, and there is snow everywhere outside. The children are pulling the sledge and looking for a place to put the sledge on the slope.

Jinghan also loves to play on the sledge, so she put on a thick padded jacket and went out to play with her brothers.Sledges are a means of transportation in winter in Northeast China. They are generally made of wood. Some sledges are relatively large and are used to pull things. They can be pulled by horses.There is also a small one, with a rope tied in front of it, and people pull it away.Jinghan and the others put the sledge on the slope, which is the small one.There were several sledges in the house, and they pulled them all out, and then they found a place with a slope and pulled them up to the slope. Everyone sat on the sledge, and when the person in front tried hard, the sledge began to slide down.

The process of sliding down the sledge is the most thrilling and exciting. The one in front must control the direction, or it will run into a ditch or a snowdrift.Wen Han and Wen Cheng are relatively big, and they usually control the direction in front.

This slope is the best place for sledge slopes in the village, and many children are here, so everyone's sledges are often lined up in a row, and then roar down together.If any direction is not well controlled, the result is that it is easy to follow and enter the snow.The children were not annoyed either. After laughing, they continued to pull the sledge up.
