Full of food and color

Chapter 176
Liangdong drove out from Wang's house at noon the next day. He originally returned in the morning, but his uncle insisted on keeping him after lunch. Mrs. Wang and Li made a lot of gifts for the Chen's house, and there were miscellaneous piles on the cart. They brought a lot of them. The Wang family are hard-working people who are good at farming. They brought five big bags of soybeans alone. The rice noodles on the side were evenly brought from the Wang family. The one with white rice and white noodles told him to take it back to the house for his grandparents to eat, and he asked his grandparents a happy new year by the way.

As soon as the things brought back came in, Mrs. Chen Liu couldn't wait to look at them. Seeing the whole grains, snacks and cloths, she was very happy, "It seems that this matter is done, or your aunt has some skills. Grandma thought I'm not happy to live in her house!"

Liang Dong was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, then pursed his lips and said: "My cousin and my cousin are both excellent people, they treated me very considerately, and I never felt disgusted."

While carrying the gifts into the house, Chen Liu said with a smile: "Your mother has gone, your aunt's house should be more about your marriage."

When Chen Liu's family went back and forth to the yard of the main house, he saw that Liang Dong was still standing in the yard without making a sound, so he sighed and said, "When you get married, grandma should also make great efforts to make a fuss, but the situation in the house is not very good now. Your grandfather three Two days ago I had headaches and brain fever, my grandma's legs and feet were not working well, and the medicine alone was an expense."

Liangdong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is no delay in treating the illness, this year my aunt gave Liuliang..."

Chen Liushi went up to pat him with a smile, and smiled very affectionately, "The five taels on the top of your kang, grandma took it to add a new cow to the house yesterday!" After a pause, he glanced at Liangdong. Seeing that he just smiled and still didn't speak, Chen Liushi rubbed his hands and laughed, "You can keep the money your aunt gave this year for yourself, and the left and right are also getting engaged."

Liangdong responded, silently helped Chen Liushi move the gift into the main room, then went back to the wing room, took from the drawer the small bronze mirror that her mother used to look at when she was alive, touched it gently for a moment, and muttered to her chest He said, "My aunt has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, and made a kiss for my son, and the other girl..." He paused, with a faint smile on his face, "Thanks to my mother, she is lively, kind, and hardworking. He is diligent and straightforward, and my son is very happy."

"Mother, don't worry about your son over there. The son is all right, and the grandparents are in good health..." As he said this, his face was a little sad, "Since my father left that day, the grandma in the former small yard took it back. I don’t know who rented it, and life is not bad right now, but grandma always finds ways to get some money from me. She knows that those words are just embellishments, but I have to take out my savings. For the money for sister Xiujuan, firstly, they are my grandma and grandpa. Secondly, it is better for me to help grandma more than her to bother my aunt."

He put down the small bronze mirror, was silent for a while, then stared at it again and said slowly: "Mother, don't worry, my son is doing well every day, he is a good man, he is good at helping his sister with work, and the kindness of my aunt is always in my heart." , don’t forget to repay at all times.”

After finishing speaking, he carefully put away the bronze mirror, opened the door and went to the yard to chop firewood.

Cui Fen leaned against the west door frame and smiled, "You said Liang Dongwa became the second boss, how could you get six taels of silver a year? Sister-in-law is also pointing out that you will make a lot of money in the future and take care of you!"

Liangdong shook his head with a serious face, "My aunt is wrong. I'm not the second boss, I'm just a helper. It's a great kindness if my aunt can give you money. Don't worry about how much."

Cui Fen was bored, so she scolded, "Sister-in-law's house should make tens of taels of money a year, right? Still shrinking like that? Our parents can't figure it out, but you, the second Is it best that sister-in-law was not close to sister-in-law before she was alive, why is she so petty towards you?"

Liangdong paused for chopping firewood, then turned his head and asked, "How much is generous, my sister-in-law?"

Seeing his forbearance, Cui Fen could tell from his question that the nephew's question clearly did not agree with her, so she was not very happy, "Hey! It's quite towards your aunt? What can I say to you? You should figure it out for yourself. Is my aunt thinking about you? Little wolf boy! I have been favored by your aunt in recent years. You should forget how good your aunt was to you when you were young. Bar!"

As soon as the conversation was over, Chen Erniu sent a message in the main room, "Stop saying a few words, we don't like your mother's pink eye disease in our room! I'm only envious of people's house making money, so why don't you ask your man why?" Can't make money?"

These words hurt Cui Fen deep in her heart, and she immediately turned black, "Father knows that he is not healthy, but still say that?"

"Hmph, whether you are in good health or not, you were the one who wanted to marry desperately back then, and the whole family couldn't stop it!"

Immediately, Cuifen, who was angry, packed up her clothes and went back to the house, but Chen Erniu didn't stop her, as for the exaggerated things she said to Liang Dongwa just now, since she is old and her ears are not deaf, she listened to every word. As a grandfather, he can still watch Cui Fen criticize his nephew like that?Just say a few words to her, and then turn around and make a fuss to leave, how can the house be peaceful?One by one, the daughter-in-law has pink eyes, and the daughter also has pink eyes. He was troubled, so he simply went out for a walk with his hands behind his back.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Wang was thinking about the elder couple, so she was eager to go back. Mrs. Wang and Li originally wanted to keep them for a few more days, but Chen Tiegui was not happy, saying that it was necessary to go to the homes of the elders of Chen's parents during the year. Walking once, some of them are far away, and there will be a delay of one day after going, and it will take seven or eight days to complete the tour one by one, and the worship must be finished before the fifteenth day.In addition to the two children, especially the little girl, it is time to go back to the house and calm down. It is time to get married in the second half of the year, and business is busy on weekdays. Go back to the house to do more sewing during the New Year's Eve, and don't point at her. Embroider a wedding dress for yourself, so you can learn how to sew and mend!
Zhaodi laughed, "I'm in charge of my sister's wedding dress, I'll sew it!"

The angry mother patted her immediately, and said with a smile, "You're the one who cares too much!"

Baozhu smiled and got on the cart, said goodbye to grandma, grandpa and the others one by one, and reluctantly told Zhaodi to meet in the county after the [-]th.

Mrs. Wang turned around and waved her hands, "Don't send it off, father and mother, Liangdong will have to come here a few more times in a few days!"

Chen Tiegui laughed and waved his whip, and the ox cart drove slowly towards the entrance of the village.

Runze and Mrs. Wu arrived at the house at noon, and Mrs. Wang entered the door one after another. In a blink of an eye, the whole family was together again. Needless to say, when Runsheng returned to the house, he was also concerned about his wheat field, precious pearls, etc. Sure enough, she was restricted by Mrs. Wang and was not allowed to go out. She learned how to embroider with Mrs. Wu every day in the house. During the middle, Wei Sipei came once, but she didn't see anyone. up.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because the fifteenth day of the previous years went to the county to celebrate the festival with Baozhu Sangu's house, this year the Wang family and his wife combined together. It's cooler, they belong to their family on the fifteenth day of each year, and Cuixi's relationship with her own house is so important, so this year is no exception, early in the morning, she urged the children to clean up quickly and eat hastily. After breakfast, we will go to the county.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the streets were still bustling with lights and festoons, but this year’s lantern festival was a little less lively. After dinner, Jide said that he would rest early and return to the provincial capital tomorrow. Naturally, Mrs. Wu would not go to crowded places when she was pregnant. , Runze accompanied her back early.Si Pei is still in the village with Uncle Wei for the holidays, and he is afraid that he won't be back until tomorrow, so the Wangs and Liang Dong go back to the shop first to tidy up, leaving only Zhaodi and herself.

It was deserted, but the sisters decided to walk across the bridge, watch the lanterns and enjoy the juggling. If it was too crowded, they would go to the teahouse to sit for a while. It was better to meet a lively festival than to be bored in the house.

Walking to Ruyizhai, Baozhu couldn't help thinking of He Lanjin. On the fifteenth day of previous years, he would always meet He Lange. Speaking of which, even the local custom of walking on bridges and setting off lanterns was learned from him, but since He went to the provincial capital, and when Muxiu came back occasionally, he happened to meet her returning to the village, and it turned out that he hadn't seen her for more than a year.

I passed the letter once, and told him about some business matters at the end of last year, but I didn't see his reply. I think he didn't care about the money. He only got his favor, but he was always thinking about it.

Thinking of this, he stopped to take a look at Ruyi Zhai, and said with a smile, "I don't know if Brother He Lang is in the county today, I haven't seen him for a long time, but I miss him."

Zhao Di laughed, "He's such a fastidious person, he must be afraid of being crowded, so he's sitting in a teahouse right now? It's just that I don't know for sure, if it's such a bustling time, if I am, I always have to watch the lanterns for a while!"

Baozhu raised her eyes suddenly, and looked directly at the opposite teahouse. The young man sitting by the window on the second floor smiled and waved at them.

It's been a long time since I saw him, he was a little thinner than before, and when he saw Baozhu for the first time, he gave out a hearty smile, "It's such a coincidence today, why is he hanging around in front of my shop when I go back to fifteen?"

Baozhu pulled Zhaodi to sit down, and looked at him angrily, "Why don't you want last year's share money?"

He smiled and poured tea for the two sisters, "I will come back later at the end of the year, and stay at my uncle's house for a while longer." Glancing at Baozhu, he said with a smile, "How can there be no reason not to give Qian'er such a good thing? "

Baozhu stuck out her tongue at him, chattering about last year's business, he waved impatiently after listening for a while, and asked with a smile, "Is Baozhu engaged?"

Baozhu blinked and nodded, "October this year."

He smiled and took a sip of tea, "Looking at your appearance, you should be satisfied. Oh, good things are coming soon."

Zhao Di was busy eating snacks, so she asked, "When will Brother He Lang marry a wife?"

He smiled without saying a word, and the startled Baozhu asked repeatedly: "Do you have a favorite girl in your heart?"

He waved his hand, "I haven't written a word yet, I only mentioned it to my mother this year."

Baozhu grinned for a long while, and couldn't help saying out with emotion, "It's great, brother Helan has also gained something this year. The second brother is getting married, the younger sister Zhaodi also promised marriage, and the elder sister-in-law is also pregnant. Everyone is happy."

He Lanjin knocked on her with a smile, "When you get married, I will always prepare a big gift. It's just that I will not be in the county in the future, and you will be in charge of the business of the shop. Don't write letters all day long. , As for the future share of the money, just treat it as my dowry to you."
