Chapter 41
After a busy day at the end of the year, everyone happily received the rewards to celebrate the new year.This year, Cheng Dashan was not here, and this year was a bit deserted, obviously there was no Cheng Dashan in the previous few years.Maybe it was because the house got bigger, the whole family felt empty around.I wanted to call Uncle Li and Aunt Li over to celebrate the New Year together, but they didn't come.

Zhuhua also felt that this new year's festival was not interesting, so after thinking about it, she proposed to live in Zhuangzi in the countryside for a few days.Mrs. Sun was still hesitating, but Jin Hua was very moved. Uncle Li gave some rabbit meat and fur hunted by the farmer himself when he came to give the gift. Speaking of the village, it was at the foot of the mountain. When you hit a big guy, everyone will have a lively gathering.Jin Hua hunted with Mrs. Sun, but she never caught any big prey, and her hands were itchy when she heard Uncle Li mention it.

Looking anxiously at Mrs. Sun who was still thinking about it, Jin Hua was afraid that Mrs. Sun would refuse.As a result, when Sun raised her head, she happened to meet Jin Hua's eyes.

"Do you want to go?" Sun asked.

Jinhua nodded heavily.

Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Then you three sisters go, and I won't go. It's the first month of the lunar year. If you don't have guests coming, if I'm not here, there will be no one to entertain you."

"Then I won't go either." Yinhua, who was listening to them, said immediately. Just now she wanted to say that Zhuhua had another bad idea. Even going outside the city to enjoy the snow is better than going to the village at the foot of the mountain.She wanted to persuade Mrs. Sun a few words, but Mrs. Sun actually asked the three sisters to go, so she didn't go.

"Mother, can I take Xiaohua?" Zhuhua didn't seem to care, and immediately asked Sun another question.

"Okay, take it with you. If your second sister doesn't want to go, stay at home and let Xiaohua go with you. I'll send someone to the Zhuangzi to take care of it. You will leave the day after tomorrow and come back after living in the Zhuangzi on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. You are not allowed." You can't go home if you play crazy. Also, listen to your Uncle Li and Aunt Li, and don't cause trouble."

"Yes." The two agreed in unison.

Yinhua didn't expect Sun's promise to be so straightforward, and seeing her sister's excited face and not even trying to persuade her because she didn't go with her, she felt a little uncomfortable.After being awkward for a day, she finally said to Mrs. Sun expectantly: "My sister may go crazy when she goes to the countryside, and my sister is young. Why don't I go and watch?"

"Since you said you don't want to go, then don't go. You changed your head after a while without what you said, what does it look like!"

Yinhua was embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.A few days ago, Mrs. Yan got some fresh head flowers. She has no daughters, and these head flowers are useless, so she wanted to give them to Sun's three daughters.Yinhua was always the one who picked these things to the three sisters, but after she finished picking them, she thought they were still good-looking in other people's hands after a while and wanted to change them back. The same thing happened several times.After Mrs. Sun found out, she wanted to take care of her temper and not allow Jinhua and Zhuhua to hold her too close.

On the day Jinhua and Zhuhua set off, Yinhua felt aggrieved when they saw each other off at the door.Zhuhua knew she was having a temper tantrum, and deliberately angered her: "Sister stays at home with mother, let's go to the countryside to reminisce about our childhood."

When Zhuhua, who was only seven years old during Chinese New Year, said this, the others laughed, only Yinhua couldn't laugh.

"Sister, watch her, don't let her run around." Yinhua complained.

"I don't run around, I just follow the eldest sister, I will go wherever the eldest sister goes~"

Jin Hua couldn't help frowning when she heard that, she still wanted to go hunting in the mountains, how could she be allowed to follow.It's just that she didn't dare to let Mrs. Sun know about it, so naturally she dared not say it now.How could Mrs. Sun not know what she was thinking, so she said: "Take care of your sister, and discuss with your Uncle Li before doing anything."

"Yes."

This time when I went out, Jinhua brought Chunshui, Zhuhua brought Qiuyun, and also two wives and two coachmen.A group of people took two carriages, two wives and a pile of luggage took one, and Jin Huazhuhua and two maids took one.

When the carriage left the street, Zhuhua immediately took Jinhua's hand, "Sister, I know you must go up the mountain, you must take me with you, I will never run around, besides, I brought Xiaohua with me, and Xiaohua also Can protect me. Right, Xiao Hua? Come on, be fierce."

Xiao Hua showed a ferocious expression cooperatively, and growled a few times.

Seeing her younger sister looking at her expectantly, Jin Hua didn't want to spoil her interest either. Didn't she also go hunting with her mother when she was six or seven years old, because she was born with great strength and helped a lot.Once they encountered jackals on the mountain, and she beat them away with a broken sapling.Although Zhuhua didn't have much strength, she was always obedient, as long as she followed obediently, nothing would happen.Besides, no matter how courageous she is, she will not go up the mountain alone.My mother said that it is enough to have only one stupid and bold father in the family. They still need to use their brains more and not be as stupid as their father.Jin Hua has always set Sun as a role model, so she naturally doesn't want to be like her father. After all, her father is much more reliable now than she was when she was a child.

When Jinhua was young, it was the heyday of Sun's knife teaching Cheng Dashan. Sun had a loud voice, and Cheng's mother, Jinhua's grandmother, had a low voice, but she could read one thing for a long time.In the past, Cheng Dashan found an excuse to run away when he was tired of listening, but now he dared not run even if he wanted to, and Mrs. Sun stood at the door with a knife.Finally, with the cooperation of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Cheng Dashan at least stopped gambling, and rarely went out to drink.Jin Hua still remembers that Cheng Dashan once got into a fight with someone after drinking, which caused the family to lose a fortune, and Sun was so angry that he made him drink bitter tea for a month to refresh his mind.She once tasted a sip of bitter tea, which was so bitter that she almost vomited, and it was difficult for her father to last a month.As long as she thinks of this bitter taste, Jin Hua thinks that she should be more cautious in life.

Especially after her father said that he would never return because he wanted to earn a lot of money, Jin Hua felt that she must not let her father be foolish and bold.In fact, Mrs. Sun once went to inquire about the whereabouts of Cheng Dashan. Jin Hua listened to it and knew that her father seemed to be doing bad things with a few cronies.Sun became very angry, and even prepared a stick to greet his father when he came back.But his father never came back, he didn't come back when the robbers came, he didn't come back when Zhuhua was born, he didn't come back when there was no rice at home... When they got better, he came back.

She didn't care that he was an official. She heard stories from the old people in the village that being an official was easy to cause trouble, and if something happened, the whole family would die.But he is his father after all, maybe if his mother looks at him, he won't be in trouble.Besides, it's good for her father to be an official, at least she doesn't have to save on food anymore, she has grown a bit taller this year, and even Yinhua has begun to grow.Only Zhuhua didn't grow taller, and Jinhua looked at Zhuhua pitifully, this child didn't even have to eat milk when he was young, so it must be because he was starving and would not be able to grow taller in the future.

Zhuhua didn't feel Jinhua's pity gaze. As a child, she couldn't follow Jinhua to the banquets. Of course, she didn't have any interest in those banquets; she didn't go to the street either. Mother Wang kept her eyes on people, and she wanted to sneak away. Can't find a chance either.Most importantly, it's not safe for a child to go out on the street. If she encounters a human trafficker, she probably won't be able to run away.

After watching various suspense films, she concluded that if she can't do it, she won't die, so she can do it if she can, and she has the energy to think about how to make money.

When the carriage left the city, Zhuhua turned her head and asked, "Sister, can you ride a horse?"

Jin Hua shook her head and said: "I think there must be horses in the village. When Uncle Li came last time, he drove the horse-drawn carriage by himself. We can learn from it secretly."

When she said "we", she counted Zhuhua among the people who learned to ride horses. She never thought that Zhuhua might not want to learn, but that was horseback riding. Don't mention the joy of Uncle Li when he drove the carriage to Cheng's house for the first time. up.Horses are a rare thing in the countryside. Most people would rather buy a donkey or a mule than a horse whose price is several times higher. They usually go to and from town at most. Mules and donkeys are enough for them, but if they are really rich, they naturally want to buy them. A horse, riding on a country road, a group of children are envious and chasing after him, which is cool.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Zhuhua said coquettishly, she really wanted to learn to ride a horse, which was a necessary skill for survival in ancient times, just like you have to be able to drive in modern times, and immediately she thought of another thing "When we get to Daqing Mansion later, should we go and see the spices or something, it must be delicious when sprinkled on the roasted rabbits."

"Then go and have a look." Jin Hua was immediately moved by her advice.
