Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 53

"Sister Xiaoqiao, let's go play in the village." Xiaomi has already put on new clothes. The children in this village love to wear new clothes during the New Year. Go to the village to show off with others, and some will compare.

Ye Xiaoqiao said: "My mother and I have to go back to wash our hair and take a bath first, and when it's done, I'll play with you again, okay?"

Xiaomi said: "Okay. Then you have to hurry up."

On New Year's Eve, after the reunion dinner at noon, many people have to boil water, wash their hair and take a bath while the sun is still shining during the day and the weather is not too cold.

You can wash your hair outside, and when you take a bath, you will burn two charcoal braziers and put them on the side. Ye Zhu cooked the charcoal braziers for his daughter-in-law and children, and Ye Xiaoqiao and Ye Xiaofeng went to take a bath .

After changing into clean clothes, I really feel that the dirt on my whole body is gone, which is very refreshing.

Farmers’ families don’t take a bath like that big family’s. They can wash every day, even once every seven days.Of course it can be done in summer, but not in winter, because the weather is cold and firewood is wasted.

Mrs. Wu wiped Xiaofeng and Xiaoqiao's hair with a dry handkerchief. If she didn't wipe off the water, the weather would be cold, and she might catch a cold. It is taboo to get sick during Chinese New Year, otherwise this year will not be smooth.

After Xiaoqiao took a bath, he went to the village to play with Xiaomi. In fact, a group of little kids picked up more firecrackers than anyone else. Xiaoqiao thought it was boring, but Xiaomi liked it, so he followed.

Children's time passes quickly. After a few people have finished talking and are called back by their own adults, the night will come. Winter nights are short. Today, because we have to watch the year, we are still together with the whole family, eating What is the leftovers at noon.The adults were gossiping together, and the children are not too young. The youngest is the winter solstice of the old Sanye Tian's family, who will be four years old tomorrow.

In the end, Ye Xiaoqiao was a little drowsy. Watching the new year was really hard. When she woke up after hearing the crackling firecrackers in the village, she realized that the time had passed and the new year had arrived. .

After Ye Zhu finished setting off the firecrackers, he took his wife and children back to his new home. He only needs to keep watch over the old age.

Listening to the intermittent sound of firecrackers, Ye Xiaoqiao said, "It would be great if we could set off fireworks in the future!" Most people in Yejia Village don't have money to buy fireworks, at most they can buy firecrackers for three days for the New Year, and those who are poorer can just buy fireworks. I only bought firecrackers for the reunion dinner, because this is a year of wealth luck, and it’s not good if I don’t buy it.

Li Xia said: "There will be!"

Yes, there will be!This year the family is separated, and everyone has hope that everything will be fine!
On the first day of the first day, I came to pay New Year's greetings to my parents and received red envelopes. Xiaoqiao and the others were very happy, and then the first family naturally wanted to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa and grandma. This is to kowtow. No matter what you say, everyone To be happy, Mrs. Guo didn't say anything harsh, and she still had a smile on her face.It's just that they didn't give red envelopes, saying that everyone is older, so there is no need to give red envelopes, and Ye Xiaoqiao and the others don't care about the red envelopes, as long as everyone lives in peace.

Wu Shi and Ye Zhu also entertained many juniors who came to pay New Year's greetings at home. There are melon seeds, peanuts, candies and other things on the plate on the table. When the little ones got good things at Ye Xiaoqiao's house, they would show them off, and then more little ones came over.

The custom says that the more children come to your house, it means that your family is very popular, and you will have good luck this year. Both Ye Zhu and Wu are happy from ear to ear. Only when there is candy.

Even so, so what?It is precisely because your family's life is better that you can afford candies, so you are very popular.

Adults look at farming, and children look at Chinese New Year. This is true. When children in the village get things, they compare with each other who gets the best things, who gets more things, and the little children put their pockets full and put them away when they go home. , Just go to New Year's greetings again, it's really funny.

But the Chinese New Year is only a year away, no adults would blame these children for being so happy.

On the first day of junior high school, the neighbors greeted the New Year, and on the second day of junior high school, some of their natal families went back to their natal family. On this day, everyone did not go to the room with a wink, because Aunt Ye and Aunt Ye would not come back on this day, and there was no separation before. , On this day, both the old man and Mrs. Guo looked bad, which made everyone in a bad mood. Even if they wanted to go back to their mother's house, they would be said bad things.

As for Mrs. Guo, her children are now so old. When she became a widow, the relationship with her natal family was not good, and she did not overdo her. Later, she remarried and felt that she was ashamed. Not very rich, so the relationship is even worse.So on the day of the second day of junior high school, Mrs. Guo didn't have her natal family to go back to.

Naturally, she didn't have a good look at the daughter-in-law who was going back to her natal home.

Not to mention the old man, there were two daughters who were married, and this is their natal home, but they couldn't come back.The depression in my heart can be imagined.

It's all right now, the family is separated, and there is no need to say that I am going back to my mother's house like the report, I just take the gift of going back to my mother's house and set off, or why do the daughters-in-law here want to separate as soon as possible?It's all worth it.

When Ye Xiaoqiao's family arrived at the uncle's house in Zhangjiawan, grandpa and grandma were very happy. They also had some sadness. The eldest daughter also didn't come back, and they had a heart-to-heart with the old couple, and they hadn't been in contact with each other for these years.

Wu shi tried not to mention this matter as much as possible.

The eldest aunt, Mrs. Zhang, did not return to her mother's house, and Mrs. Wu asked, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "Hehe, Xiaoshan is about to marry a wife, so I won't go. You will be entertained when you come here." The younger aunt Wu went back to her natal home early in the morning, and the eldest aunt Zhang was afraid that Mrs. Wu would come back. It's not good, neither of them are here, and it doesn't matter if she returns to her mother's house or not at her age.After all, Xiaoshan is going to marry a wife.

So Mrs. Wu likes to go back to her mother's house very much. Parents are in pain, brother is in pain, even sister-in-law is in pain.

The uncle looked at what Ye Zhu had brought, and said, "You've come here, what else do you bring? You can't do this in the future."

Ye Zhu said: "Just this little thing, it's not worth anything."

The uncle asked Li Xia, "How do you feel after being in charge of the house for a while?"

Li Xia smiled and said: "Uncle, I have only been in charge of the family for a while, and I feel that it is not easy to be the head of the family. In the future, uncle will teach me more."

"Hehe, uncle doesn't have anything to teach you. It's all about getting by. Usually, you have to take a long-term view and be enthusiastic about people. Of course, the most important thing is to protect your family members. Don't let others bully you." Uncle Wu said, Li Xia listened carefully.

But Li Qiu found Wu Shan and asked him about teaching matters. During the Chinese New Year, the county school was on holiday, and Wu Shan came back, but he was not idle when he came back from the holiday. Everyone knew that he was a scholar. I bought red paper and asked him to write couplets. This is also the respect of the villagers for him. After all, not everyone can become a scholar. Wu Shan did not refuse these requests. The reputation of this generation in Zhangjiawan is very good.

Both Xiaofeng and Xiaoqiao saw that they were writing and drawing. Xiaofeng found it boring after watching it for a while. She also learned to read characters with Xiaoqiao, but after learning for a while, she really felt boring, so she reluctantly After reading a few words, she could write her own name, so she didn't follow along. She still felt that it was better to do things outside, so Xiaoqiao was left to follow along.

Seeing that Xiaoqiao was watching these two talking about knowledge again, Xiaofeng felt a headache, so she went out to play by herself.Wu Shan smiled and said to Xiaoqiao: "Xiaoqiao, I heard from Liqiu that you are also learning characters? How many characters do you know now?"

Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "I know hundreds of words. Cousin, the fish farming book you gave my elder brother is very useful. My elder brother raised fish just by reading that book."

Wu Shan also laughed, and said: "Then I'll look for it in the bookstore in the county. If I have books on that topic, I'll send someone over. It's said that 360 lines, every line of work will lead to the number one scholar, this is really true."

"Then can my cousin find some more agricultural books?"

Wu Shan said: "Okay, Li Xia should read more books on this topic."

Li Qiu said: "Cousin, can I ask you if there is something I don't understand in the future?"

"Why not? Just ask, first write down everything you don't understand. I can come back once a month. When we meet, I can solve it. Let me tell you. If you don't know, go back and ask the county school. Mr.

"Hehe," Li Qiu smiled embarrassedly: "Cousin, you must understand everything I asked."

"That's not necessarily the case. Don't underestimate yourself. Sometimes there are things I don't understand. You can think of it. Threesomes must have my teacher. Everyone sees the problem from a different angle, and this problem is different."

Xiaoqiao listened to it and found it very interesting. Cousin Xiaoshan is not the kind of person who will always be superior to others once he thinks he is better than you. Such a person will have a good life even if he cannot win the exam.

Bah, bah, bah, it's Chinese New Year, why don't you want to win?It's too unlucky, Xiaoqiao pissed several times in his heart.

While waiting for lunch, Mrs. Wu also took the children to visit relatives in Zhangjiawan to pay New Year's greetings. The children were all praised, saying that they were polite and sweet-talking. Which adult would not like it? Hearing others praise their son, Wu's is no exception. After returning, the corners of his mouth are always upturned. When they came back, they saw Ye Zhu chopping firewood for his father-in-law's house. The problem is that he blindly listens to his father's words, but he is really a willing person, and he is also willing to contribute to his father-in-law's family.

Now the family is separated, and Lixia is in charge of the family again, which is also very good.Better days are ahead.
