Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 57 New Daughter-in-law

29. Early in the morning, the new daughter-in-law woke up early. When she went to the kitchen, she found that Mrs. Fang had also woken up. "Sister-in-law, you got up so early."

"Well, I didn't have anything to do yesterday. I was idle. Your sister-in-law and the others are tired. I'll just get up and make breakfast." Fang smiled, "Sister and sister, please help me light the fire. The ashes in the pit should be cleaned up." Take it out, I can't bend down."

"Hey, I'm coming." Shuzhen bent down to dig out the ashes in the stove pit, suddenly felt something wrong, looked down, and there was a red envelope in the ashes. "Sister-in-law, what's going on? Which child was naughty and threw the red envelope into the pit?"

"Hahaha, no, my mother put it inside specially, just waiting for the newlyweds to cook and see if the bride can live a good life." Fang smiled while holding her waist.

Mrs. Qin also came out of the room, "You're the only one talking too much, why let her dig out the ashes?" She also said with a smile, and it seemed that she was in a good mood.

Shuzhen felt a little embarrassed, took the red envelope and handed it to Qin, "Mother, here you are." She thought to herself, Mother didn't say there was such a rule.

Mrs. Qin didn't answer, "Take it, it's our family's rule that a new daughter-in-law gets up to cook on the first day, and she has a red envelope. Put it away quickly and help your sister-in-law cook." Mrs. Qin turned and went into the house went.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't tell me, I'm making a joke." Shuzhen's face was still red.

"I can't say this, you are not bad, I told you to dig out the ashes and you did. At the time of your second sister-in-law, she didn't listen to what I said, and just filled the stove pit with firewood, which scared my mother to hurry Come out and stop it, it's more of a joke than you are now." Fang talked about what happened to her sister-in-law at that time.

"I didn't expect the second sister-in-law to be interesting." Shuzhen was talking, her hands were not idle, and the fire had already been lit. "Sister-in-law, what are we cooking this morning?"

"There are still steamed buns, heat them up more. Cook one pot of porridge, no, one pot is not enough, and use the two pots in your second sister-in-law's house to cook porridge later. Just heat up some leftover vegetables from yesterday." Fang thought for a while Say it all at once. "Just stay here and watch the hot steamed buns and vegetables. I'll go to your second sister-in-law's room to cook porridge." After saying that, she went out.

Sitting on the kang, Mrs. Qin was talking to the old man about yesterday's expenses, "It costs two taels to rent a car, sedan chair, horse, carriage, and drummer, hire a chef to spend one tael, and pack a tael for each drummer yesterday." A red envelope of 11 Wen, which is [-] Wen. The two drivers are [-] Wen each, which is [-] Wen. The chef and the three apprentices are [-] Wen each, which is [-] Wen. One tael, that’s four taels of silver in total. The chicken and meat and other items cost less than five taels, and a whole pig cost two taels. It cost a total of [-] taels of silver. Old man, things are a bit expensive this year. Luckily, the fox skin that the boss beat sold for six taels, and the others sold for a total of six or seven taels, so it’s not bad, we don’t need to put money into it to finish the marriage.” Qin After finishing the calculation, he happily told the old man.

"Old lady, you haven't counted the many things at the wedding banquet yesterday. Yun Song led the children to fight back. If you didn't have these, you would have to take out four or five taels. The fourth brother's marriage, the boss really You put in a lot of effort, in the future, be nicer to the eldest family and don't be too harsh." The old man said in a low voice.

"He deserves to contribute, who made him the boss." Qin's lips curled up, but there was no anger in her tone.

"You, it's just this mouth that is not forgiving. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you. I'll lie down for a while and call me after dinner is over." The old man closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Half an hour later, Fang and Shuzhen finished the meal, and Fang knocked on the door of the east room, "Father, mother, the meal is ready, let's get up and eat. Shuzhen will have to get to know her family in a while." Woolen cloth."

"Hey, I'm getting up now." Qin agreed inside, and after a while, there was movement in the east and west rooms, and the east and west rooms, and everyone got up.

Fang entered the room and saw her son and daughter getting up, "Hurry up and wash your face, it's time to eat." Then she began to comb Yuxian's hair, just like yesterday, "Xian'er, can you comb like this for the past few days?"

"Mother, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, in the past few days, when my aunt is gone, I won't be a lucky doll." Yuxian pouted her mouth to express her dissatisfaction.

The whole family went out to have breakfast, and after dinner, the children were all in the outhouse, and the older generation and Yun Song and his generation all entered the house. This was to let the bride get to know her in-laws.The old man, Mrs. Qin, and Tong Shixin were all sitting on the kang, and Shuzhen and Yun Hua stood side by side on the ground. They first kowtowed to the old couple in a proper manner, and then got up. Shuzhen took the tea bowl and handed it to the old man, "Dad , drink tea."

The old man took the tea and took a sip, "Well, Shuzhen, we can live a good life after we get married. It's slack time for us now, so we don't have much to do. Just discuss what we should do with your sister-in-law."

"Yes, father." Shuzhen agreed, and brought another bowl of tea to Qin Shi, "Mother, drink tea."

Mrs. Qin also took the tea, took a sip, and then said: "Daughter-in-law, in the future, you must first remember to love your husband. Your husband is the sky, and he will be your backer in the future. Then you must live diligently. You can't sneak around, you know?"

"Daughter-in-law understands." Shuzhen lowered her head and agreed.

Qin took out two red envelopes from her bosom and gave them to Shuzhen, "This is a gift from your father and I." Shuzhen took the red envelopes, "Thank you, father and mother." Qin looked at Tong Shixin again, and said: "This is your aunt."

Shuzhen hurried up to the ceremony, "Nephew and daughter-in-law have seen aunt." Tong Shixin smiled and asked Shuzhen to come forward and took her hand: "She is indeed a beauty, sister-in-law, you are so lucky, four daughters-in-law match each other Beautiful. Come on, my aunt doesn't have anything to give you, so don't dislike this bracelet." He took off the emerald bracelet from his hand and brought it to Shuzhen.

"Gu, this bracelet of yours is too expensive, my niece and daughter-in-law dare not accept it." Shuzhen refused to accept it, but it was Qin who asked Shuzhen to accept it.

Next came these elder brothers and sisters-in-law, Fang took out the peony silver hairpin she had prepared, which made Liu and the others so jealous, "Sister-in-law, really, she brings out such good things every time, isn't this deliberately embarrassing us? Compared with yours, ours won't be used." Liu took out a silver hairpin, which didn't have much weight.What Zhou took out was a silver bracelet, which probably weighed five or six renminbi, "That's right, we don't dare to compare with sister-in-law, brother and sister, don't be disgusted."

Fang said with a smile: "As long as you two have such unforgiving mouths, what I gave you back then was similar to this. What's the matter, when it comes to the fourth sibling, I will be missing?"

Liu Shi and Zhou Shi didn't say anything, what Fang Shi said was true, and Fang Shi was very generous when they were both of them.

Next came Tong Yunlian and the other sisters. The three sisters took out earrings, earrings and the like, which were worse than Liu's and the others.Qin's face is a bit ugly. She always helps her daughters on weekdays, but she didn't expect that her daughter would not show her face at critical times.Finally, it was the turn of Tong Shixin's son and daughter-in-law, and the second daughter-in-law of the Lin family took out a jade hairpin, "My cousin and sister-in-law are not good, this hairpin is not bad, brother and sister take it with you."

Shuzhen didn't dare to pick it up, this guy, why did his family give him jade.You must know that this place does not produce jade, and this kind of fine jade is considered good in the south, so how dare she want it again. "Sister-in-law, it's too precious, you should keep it, Shuzhen can't take it."

Tong Shixin said: "Your sister-in-law gave it to you, so you can keep it. It's not something too valuable, it's just a thought." Qin Shi also asked her to accept it, and Shuzhen finally accepted it.

Next, the children were called in one by one. The six children of Yunsong's family came in first, and Shuzhen gave a red envelope by herself.She asked Tong Yunhua last night, and she knew how many children there were in the family.When I was at home, my mother prepared some red envelopes, but they were not enough. She wrapped some more this morning, and there were five copper coins in each red envelope.Da Lang took the red envelopes, thanked his aunt and went out.Three boys from Yun Bai's family came in, each with a red envelope, Junxi opened the red envelope on the spot, "Brother, there are five coins." Junjie hurriedly dragged him out.From Yunfeng's family to Yunlian's family, each child is a red envelope, and there are about 20 children in this circle.

The new daughter-in-law recognized that her family had passed away, Shuzhen stayed in the house and chatted with the old man, Tong Shixin and the others, and Fang and Yun Song took people out to deal with some things left over from yesterday.The first is the tables, chairs and benches. These are all borrowed from the village. If you want to separate which one belongs to them, you will send them back.Fortunately, the back is covered with red paint. It is a rule here that when borrowing something from someone else, the last name of the family must be written on the back with red paint. .Yun Song and his brothers separated and sent them back to each family. They also wrapped a bag of melon seeds and candies when sending them.

Because Fang didn't do anything yesterday, today he led Yuxian and Dalang to divide up the dishes and wash them out, and they will send them back from house to house in a while.The back of the bowls and plates are also written whose family belongs to them. When Erlang is there, Dalang wipes off the grease on the plates with cornmeal, which makes it easier to clean them again. The used cornmeal can be fed to pigs. Don't waste it.Xiaosan brought out a large basin of hot water from the house, and the weather was already cold at this time, so it was hard to use cold water, not to mention that Fang was pregnant.Yuxian, Xiaosi and Xiaowu were helping to wash the dishes with rags, and they all worked very hard.

After a while, Da Lang wiped all the plates, got up and put the cornmeal into a wooden bucket, and asked Xiao San to help carry it back to the warehouse.

Yuyan didn't step forward to help at all. Her love of beauty, how could she get her hands dirty, and she was sitting on the bench watching others work.His eyes just caught sight of the two beaded flowers on Yuxian's head, and when he looked again, Yuxian was still wearing that jade pendant on her chest.Yuyan was so jealous, she turned her head and saw Junxi and Juntao playing together, she rolled her eyes, called Junxi over, and whispered something in his ear.

　One more delivery, New Year's Day, I wish you all a happy new year
