Chapter 181 Dragon Boat Festival

After spring plowing, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived soon.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Hongxue mobilized the whole family to make zongzi, made with egg yolk, bacon, peanut, and several other flavors.

In addition, Hongxue also prepared some ordinary snacks, and a lot of meat, all cut into the same size, besides, he also caught a lot of fish from his own fish pond.

Now everyone in the village knows that fish is delicious, and has learned how to deal with it. There are very few fish in the village's ponds. Fortunately, Hongxue had the foresight to collect some small fish fry into the space creek, and bought them from outside. A lot of whole seedlings are put into their own fish ponds, which can be regarded as guaranteeing their own needs.

After the zongzi was wrapped, I went to give some to the people in the village one by one, and distributed the prepared gifts to the people who worked in my own house one by one.

After receiving Hongxue's gift, everyone laughed and said that they don't need to buy meat tomorrow.

The next day was a holiday, so Hongxue gave everyone a day off and asked everyone to rest for a day. There are still stocks, so it doesn't matter if you take a day off.

She and Mrs. Zhou brought the ceremony and went to An's house to visit Mrs. Wang, who was just confinement.

Although it is confinement, the country people are not so particular, and the Wang family has no one to take care of them, so they often have to go to the fields to cook by themselves. Fortunately, Jiang Zaian works in the village now, and he rushes home to cook for his wife almost every day. , Or sometimes simply bring food home to eat with the wife.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang sat comfortably during this confinement period. The only uncomfortable thing was that Mrs. Jiang kept coming over to make trouble. But a few days ago, she didn't know what happened. I went to the doctor to have a look, and they said it was a stroke, a common disease of the elderly, and I may have to live in bed paralyzed for the rest of my life.

"Sister, I'm here to see you." Zhou started calling before entering the door, and now her relationship with Wang is really similar to that of her own sister.

"Sister is here." Mrs. Wang wanted to get up, but was held down by Hongxue who came in from behind and said, "Auntie, you're not in good health, so you better not get up." Do not move in bed.

But the situation of Mrs. Wang is slightly different. Her body was injured because of the previous miscarriage. Although she has been carefully recuperated by her own prescriptions, rural people do not have so many taboos. At that time, Mrs. Jiang was alive and well. Yes, always being angry with Wang made her not in good health all the time, not to mention being made a fuss by Mrs. Jiang during childbirth, her body couldn't take it anymore, so Hongxue asked her to stay in bed as much as possible.

"Xue'er is here too, thank you again this time." Wang really doesn't know what to say. I owe this niece so much. Even if she wants to repay her kindness, she has already done so. I owe this niece more.

Hongxue put the things in her hand with a smile and said: "Auntie, what are you talking about, what kind of friendship do we two have, and besides, isn't it an outsider to say thank you?"

"That's right, don't tell us these heretical things anymore, or I won't care about you in the future." Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Wang with a straight face.

"Okay, I won't say anything, I have everything in mind." Wang's eyes filled with tears.

"Auntie, why are you crying?" Hongxue interrupted, picked up the little baby in the swaddle and asked, "What's your name?"

Talking about his son, Wang's attention was diverted, and he said with a smile: "His father gave him a nickname Shitou, but he hasn't chosen his first name yet."

"That's right. Don't worry about your name. The little stone is still small. It won't matter after a while." Mrs. Zhou said, took out a silver collar from her bosom, put it on the little baby, and said, "This is what I do. Auntie's meeting ceremony."

"This can't be done." Wang Shi wanted to get up again, but was held down by Hongxue again: "Auntie, don't panic, this ring is hollow, it's not worth a lot, I have a long-life lock here, it's us The siblings gave it to the younger brother together, and you first keep the scattered ones."

As he said that, he took out a delicate and small longevity lock from his arms and stuffed it under Wang's pillow.

"This..." Wang was stunned.

"Sister, this is all our intention. You can accept it. We didn't come on the day when the stone was full of moon. We have made up for it today. If you accept it, we will be angry." Zhou said with a straight face on purpose. .

"Then I..." Wang looked embarrassed.

"You can accept it with peace of mind." Hongxue continued, "Anyway, it's not a very valuable thing. If you don't accept it, it's considered too light."

Mrs. Wang couldn't do anything about it, so she had to accept it.

Hongxue said hello to Mrs. Zhou and left. She knew that her mother and Mrs. Wang must have a lot to talk about. On the other hand, she also agreed to take her younger siblings to see the dragon boat.

After lunch, Lu Quan and Chen De, who planted fruit trees later, took two maidservants, sister Sun Juqing, and Fu Shun, who drove the car, and left for the county.

When they arrived, many people had already gathered by the lake beside the county seat.

On weekdays, this is also a place to play, and today is such a day, it is normal for there to be many people.

"There are so many people, what should we think of it?" Hongxue said helplessly seeing the crowd of people.Sure enough, no matter which era, you can only count people when traveling on festivals.

Fu Shun, who was accompanying him, took a look, and somehow managed to carve out a path in the densely packed crowd, and squeezed in while protecting Hongxue and the others.

When Hongxue stood at the front protecting her siblings, she was still a little puzzled, how did she get here?
"It's amazing." Sun Juqing said in a daze beside her.

"Hehe, well, it's just in time, it's almost over." Jiang Hongshuang looked at the progress of the game, and it was already in the second half, clapping her hands and laughing, she had to say that they came at the right time.

Hongxue nodded, and watched intently. Hearing the sound of gongs and drums and the loud shouts, the people around couldn't help being a little excited, and those who were bolder were shouting for help.

He Chunhong insisted on following Gao Zhiping to watch the dragon boat today, but who would have thought that he would see Hongxue and the others as soon as he turned his head, remembering how angry his mother and mother-in-law were in her workshop these days, and then look at her beautiful jacket and skirt , My heart was distorted for a moment.

Why?She has only been played by men before, and she has worn out shoes, so why should she dress better than herself?Why can she still show up in front of people in a fair and honest manner?However, their family's business is getting bigger and bigger. Recently, they bought the land behind the house and built another yard, which was connected with the original yard and became a secondary yard.

Why can she get better and better, but she can only spend a poor life by guarding a fake and noble man?
Glancing aside quietly, seeing that Gao Zhiping wasn't paying attention to him at all, he walked towards Hongxue.
