The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 124 New Year's Eve (2)
The two were intimate for a while at the door, and they happened to be seen by Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Zhou, who hugged Jialin, and Mrs. Yang led Jiahui.

"Second Sister, look how considerate my daughter-in-law is to Jiaxuan, this Jiaxuan is really blessed to have such a beautiful wife."

Su Hongling didn't notice that her mother-in-law was coming, so she hurried out to greet her, "Mother, Sanniang, you are here."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, and put Jia Lin down. Liu Jialin was sleepy, with two dark eyes rolling around, "Hongling, you take Jia Lin to warm up by the fire, he hasn't woken up yet. Woolen cloth."

"Hey, I got it." Su Hongling carried Jia Lin from her mother-in-law's hand, and helped Jia Lin wipe his eye poo, "Jia Lin, my sister-in-law will take you to the fire."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Su Hongling, and asked softly, "How is the house going?"

"Just started packing."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Clean it up, if the dust removal is not clean, the family will not be happy in the coming year."

"Mother, I know."

"Second mother, Hongling is smart, you must know all this, why do you need to care so much, you are so serious, those who don't know think you are harsh on your daughter-in-law?"

Yang glanced at Jiahui who was standing next to him, "Jiahui, your father is looking for a woman outside, and he threatened to drive our third mother out. Mother has no ability or ability to support you. After a few years, Mother will find you a suitable husband's family, and save you from suffering with me."

As soon as Yang finished speaking, tears flowed from Liu Jiahui's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nod aggrievedly.

Seeing her crying, Yang said impatiently: "Cry, you know how to cry."

Seeing that Jiahui was crying so much, Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear to see it, "It's up to adults to settle their affairs. What are you doing with your child? Jiahui is a good-looking and obedient child. I can't stand your beating and scolding every day. It won't affect the child like this." Well, there will inevitably be problems in the future."

"Er Niang, how do you know my suffering, the old man is so dazed by that vixen, I just said a few words, who would have thought that the old man would scold me and ask me to get out of this house..." Mrs. Yang He covered his face and wiped his tears, "I don't want to stay with this family for a long time, but Jialin is so small, where can I go?"

Seeing Yang crying sadly, Mrs. Zhou comforted her, "It's the New Year's Eve, I called you here to make you feel at ease, so that you don't have to look up and down at home."

Yang wiped away her tears, "Second Sister, you don't have to worry about anything. Jiaxuan is married and Jiasheng passed the exam. You have something to look forward to. How can you look forward to me? If you don't have anything to look forward to, how will you live in the future?"

"Don't cry, let the children see the joke."

Seeing that Liu Jiahui was crying so much, Li Caiwei walked over to hold her hand and wiped her tears, "Jiahui, your mother must be angry when she said this, don't worry, if your mother doesn't want to raise you, come and follow her." sister in law?"

Liu Jiahui pursed her lips, trying to restrain her grievances, but when she saw her sister-in-law, she couldn't help it, and burst into tears instantly, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to marry so early."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, "Third son, don't talk about letting Jiahui marry in the future, just look at it, it makes people bitter."

Li Caiwei took Liu Jiahui's hand and asked her to sit beside the charcoal stove to warm her hands.

Mrs. Yang was a little embarrassed, "Okay, I won't say anything, so as not to say I'm talkative." Mrs. Zhou glanced at the kitchen, "Caiwei, have you bought the sweet potatoes yet?"

"bought it."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "We must make sweet potato fried dumplings for the Chinese New Year, which means reunion. Today, Sanniang and Hongling are here, so we should get out in time."

Mrs. Zhou opened the bag of sweet potatoes, saw that the sweet potatoes in the bag were big, and nodded with satisfaction, "Third brother, you are in charge of peeling, Hongling, you are in charge of steaming sweet potatoes and picking weeds. After finishing the sweet potato balls this morning, I will return them in the afternoon." To make glutinous rice cakes, is the glutinous rice ready?"

"Erniang, I have prepared twenty catties. I don't know if it is enough? My family was poor before, and I didn't make glutinous rice cakes, so I bought it on a guessing basis."

"Enough is enough. Time is tight, everyone has to work hard."

An hour later, the sweet potatoes are peeled, washed, and steamed in a wooden steamer.

Another hour later, Zhou used chopsticks to test the degree of ripeness of the sweet potatoes in the wooden steamer. If the chopsticks can be easily inserted into the sweet potatoes, it means that they are cooked. If they can't be inserted, continue to steam.Mrs. Zhou opened the lid and told Hong Ling, "Come here and give me a hand, and lift up the wooden steamer."

The two lifted the sweet potatoes and poured them into a large wooden basin.Quickly put the wooden steamer back into the pot, and Li Caiwei poured the washed glutinous rice into it, ready to steam the glutinous rice.

Zhou quickly poured in the flour, added a little salt, mixed it with the steamed sweet potatoes, and started kneading, similar to kneading dough, until the sweet potatoes and flour turned into a tough dough.

The dough is kneaded, and the rest of the work is to knead the sweet potato balls.

Mrs. Yang rubbed the balls with her hands. Yesterday when she heard that she had bought a restaurant in the county, she immediately thought about it, "Caiwei, I heard that you are going to open a restaurant in the city. Can Sanniang ask you for a favor?"

"San Niang, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Oh, it's still the girl Caiwei who is refreshing. You see, your mother has such a capable son and such a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law. The third mother is very envious. Tell me about your second mother, Jiaxuan adopted a capable and intelligent daughter-in-law. Daughter-in-law, Jiasheng is in high school again, so there is nothing to worry about in the future. But your third mother is different. Jialin is still young, and Jiahui will always marry. Your third mother is no match for your aunt and second mother. After such a show, there will be no place for me in the family from now on."

"Caiwei, can you find me a job in your restaurant Li, I am willing if you let me clean up."

"Sanniang, why would I ask you to clean? If you really want a job, that's fine too, but what about Lin Jiahui?"

"I'll let your second mother take care of it, and she can feel at ease watching me at home."

Zhou said, "Caiwei, it's not easy for you Sanniang, so just help her."

It seems that Mrs. Yang has made a plan, and the arrangement is perfect, leaving no room for her to refuse.Li Caiwei smiled and said, "San Niang, the restaurant has just opened, so it must be very busy. If you help out in the store, I may call you at any time, so you don't have any objections."

"Of course not. I still have some good eyesight for you San Niang." Yang showed an unprecedented smile.

In the afternoon, Liu Jiacheng took Li Caibin over.

It's only been two or three months since I've seen each other, and my brother has gone through a lot of vicissitudes.With a sloppy beard and a sallow complexion, he was only wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, which was cold and hard, and did not keep warm at all. "Brother." When she called this brother, she had the urge to cry but she still held back.

"Brother, wait for me to get you a cotton coat."

Li Caiwei rushed into the room and took out a cotton coat, and when she handed it to Li Caibin, "Brother, why are you wearing so little, you're going to freeze to death."
