The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 73 Hosting a Banquet (2)
The next day, before dawn, Su's mother woke up Su Ling's brothers and sisters. Today they were going to Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and it was far away, so they needed to get up early.

Su Ling's new clothes, red clothes and red boots, looked very festive. She was wearing two small buns tied with two red strings. Su Ho was also dressed similarly, except that the buns were tied with The two small bells 'jingle' as they move, which sounds very pleasant.

In order to prevent bumps on the road, Mother Su also specially took a quilt on the car, which can not only prevent bumps, but also keep warm. As soon as Su Ling and Su Ho got on the bullock cart, they immediately fell asleep next to Mother Su. Generally speaking, it's just another place to sleep.

After Su's father arranged everything, he drove the ox cart to the direction of Wushan Town.

"Hey." Finally, they arrived at Wangjia Village, "Ah Zhen, call them both!" Father Su called out.

Su's mother asked for Su Ling, but Su Ling fell into a drowsy sleep. Although there was a quilt, the ox cart was still bumpy, Su Ling was not asleep, Su Dong carried Su Ho down, and Su Ling helped Su's father to lift the Things were brought in.

"Mother, elder brother, second elder brother." Mother Su saw Mrs. Li and her two sons waiting for them at the courtyard gate as soon as she got out of the car.

"Hey." Several people responded, "It's good to be back, come in quickly! Your sister is back too."

Wang Wei helped Su's father take the things into the house.

Mrs. Li took Su Ling's hand and entered the room.

As soon as Su Ling entered the room, she looked at Su Dong who was following behind and hugged Su Ho, "Aren't you awake yet? What a lazy pig, why don't you carry her into your cousin's room and sleep for a while."

"That's right! Dong'er's hands are sore from holding her! Come here, I'll carry her into Yun'er's room for a while, or she will make trouble if she doesn't get enough sleep." The eldest aunt Chen took Su He carried her into Wang Caiyun's room.

Su's mother was in the hall talking with Mrs. Li, her two sister-in-laws, and the eldest sister of the Wang family. Su's father was also chatting with her two elder brothers, brother-in-laws, and Wang Mu. Although Wang Jianlin was one year younger than Su Dong, he was already They started to go to school, and the two chatted about their academic problems. For a while, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

About half an hour or so.

"Zhen'er has come so far, she must be hungry, I'll go prepare breakfast!" Chen said.

"I'm going to help my sister-in-law." Meng Shi (second aunt) also said.

"Then I'll go too! Hurry up." Mother Su also echoed.

A few people went to the direction of the kitchen.

Su Ho is also up at this meeting, playing lively with the two children of the Meng family and the two children brought by the eldest sister of the Wang family. They are all about the same age, and put together, it is like a lively market. The noise and laughter from the courtyard reverberated throughout the Wangjia Village for a long time, presenting a lively scene.

Su Ling's family didn't stay. After dinner, they told Wang's family to have a white banquet at home on the fifth day of the lunar new year. He gave each member of the Wang family a red envelope, and kept all the gifts, but Li insisted that there would be a return, so he finally brought some steamed buns made by the Wang family.

Su's father drove the car quickly, and the few people came home around the evening.

Su's father had just entered the room, and those who hadn't sat down to write for a while were invited by Mrs. Liang again.

Today Liang wanted to send Su's father to pick up a few daughters, but he didn't expect to come here early in the morning and run away. Naturally, he was in a very bad mood.

In the past years, Su Ling's family was poor, and if Mrs. Wang wanted to go back to her mother's house, she had to be picked up by someone from the Wang family, so it took a long time. Later, Mrs. Wang refused to let her two elder brothers come to pick her up because she was afraid that they would bother her two brothers. Mrs. Wang hasn't been back to her natal family for several years. At that time, Mrs. Liang would definitely be able to find Su's father when he came to find him, but why didn't he think that things are different now? I'm going back to my grandmother's house.

Father Su hadn't even entered the house when he heard Liang's cursing voice, "It's true that my wings are hard and I can fly. Now that I'm old, I can't control others. If I have good things, I know how to carry a car." How can I think of me as an old lady, God! Why is my life so hard! If I had known that I would have drowned him, I wouldn’t have suffered so much now!” Hearing this Su's father is an idiot if he doesn't know who he is talking about. In the entire Su family, the Liang family will only swear such words when he scolds him. It's like wishing his own son to die. It's the Chinese New Year, and everyone is in a very good mood Well, no one will be happy when they hear this, Father Su is no exception.

Su's father entered the house without saying a word, and he didn't even say hello to the brothers he met.

But after entering the main room, he still greeted Mrs. Liang.

"mother."

Mrs. Liang looked at Father Su without saying a word. It was useless for the sisters to persuade him. Father Su also had an older sister and a younger sister, Su Qing and Su Mei. Today Mrs. Liang was going to arrange for Father Su to pick up Su Qing’s, the Pang’s family that Su Qing married into, the family’s situation is not very good, the uncle is still a medicine jar, and he can’t do without medicine for many years, the family has been dragged down like this, and there are many children in the family, and there are many children in the family. They are boys, all of them are lazy, even if Su Qing's shoulders are big, he can't carry such a big family, not to mention that there is a strict mother-in-law who takes care of everything in this family. Life is like a cow. Those who leave early and return late have never heard of it, but life at home is still difficult.

Su's father is also very distressed for this sister, but what can he do? He can help their family once or twice, but he can't help them for a lifetime. If he wants to live a good life, he still has to rely on himself.

The fifth day of the new year.

After a simple meal at noon, just as she put down her rice bowl, Su's mother became as busy as a spinning top.

Since the New Year's dinner is not only invited for the family, but also for the neighbors who walk around each other, there are seven tables in total for all the people to sit down for dinner... so many people are eating, it is very busy .

When encountering such a big event, Su Ling couldn't find a place for himself in the kitchen, so he simply went out of the kitchen, first to help clean the floor in front of the house, and then waited for Su's father to borrow tables and stools, and settled down. good table.

Because there are not enough bowls and chopsticks at home, I went to borrow bowls, borrow them and wash them again... Anyway, Su Ling didn't take a break, and the most fun thing in this house is Gui Suho, a child who is completely ignorant has nothing to worry about , and even clapped hands happily beside him because he was going to have a treat at home at night.

Su Ling looked at the smiling Su Ho, and could only say that she was "heartless".

After working non-stop for nearly two hours, Su's mother stood at the kitchen door with a spatula in her hand, and shouted at Zhaodi, "Dong'er, tell us to eat with us at night." After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, "Do you know who to call?"
