Co-wife

Chapter 37 Illiteracy

The second aunt didn't stay for a while, she told Chen Chunhua about it and went back.

Chen Chunhua didn't think about this idea. With the current state of her room, it's easy to get started with a partner.Although the second aunt told her not to worry, how can she not worry about doing business.Besides, she is not a layman, so many ways in the business are not too big, just small.

It's hard to say if you spend money and effort!

What the second aunt said, from the perspective of the three brothers, this is a great thing.

Look at Chen Chunhua's expressionless face, old man. "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?"

Chen Chunhua shook his head and said. "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about things in the town, come on, let's think about it after the new year!"

On the night of the new year, the family had a good meal for a while.The pork offal given by the meat stall owner happened to be eaten at night.

After the young year, you have to be busy with the new year. Starting on the 27th, the boss began to steam white flour steamed buns, steamed buns, and steamed buns.

At first, Chen Chunhua was also surprised. She asked the boss and found out that this New Year's Eve spent a few days resting in the house, and made the staple food early.

Chen Chunhua didn't understand either, just knowing it was a custom here.

White flour steamed buns are easy to make, make buns, Chen Chunhua helps out, chop the stuffing, put meat, pickled vegetables and Chinese cabbage inside, and wrap some of the same.

Chen Chunhua suddenly thought that dumplings are not eaten here during the Chinese New Year. After thinking about it, I'll put this point aside.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Chen Chunhua and the three brothers sat around the table in the main room, and a brazier was placed under the table.

Chen Chunhua grew up so big, she never stayed overnight, and every family didn't sleep at night, but the little one went to bed early, and the adults in the house chatted together.

Seeing Chen Chunhua yawn again and again, the boss tightened her thick coat and said. "Daughter-in-law, why don't you put it on the kang and go to sleep for a while."

Chen Chunhua waved his hand. "No way!" Customs naturally have their own reasons. She even appeared reborn, and the rest followed suit.Maybe it's been too long since I haven't had the habit of staying up late, so I started to doze off after sitting for a while. "Brother, are there any books in the room?"

"Book? What book?" The eldest asked, looking at the youngest after hearing this. "Old man, didn't you get a book last year, where did you put it?"

"I'll look for it!" The youngest got up and went to the back room, searched for a while, and found a tattered and yellowed book from under the box.

Chen Chunhua took a look at it and said it was a book, rather than a booklet, the thickness of a finger.She originally thought that when the Spring Festival couplets were posted in the house, she would know what the characters here looked like, but she hadn't seen them posting the couplets until now.After asking, I found out that in this countryside, there is no habit of posting Spring Festival couplets. There are not many literate people in the village, and it is useless to post them.

"Er Zhuzi gave me this book, and I can't read, so I don't know what's written on it!" The third child said, rubbing his hands together embarrassedly, and sat down.

Chen Chunhua didn't finish college before, and the next two years were self-study.She can't read all the characters on the book, it's very complicated and traditional characters, and she can only guess from the half-sided characters on the top.

Flipping through from beginning to end, looking at what was written on it, she roughly saw what was written on it, raised her eyes to look at the third child, and said. "Third Brother, is this the ledger?"

"Oh, it's the account book. Erzhuzi is doing this job, and he is only working as a foreman for the owner."The third child and Er Zhuzi had different fates in the same year. The father of Er Zhuzi and Da Zhuzi was the former village chief. Let’s not say that he is gone now. In previous years, he lived well in the house, and Er Zhuzi could read and write.

"Daughter-in-law, how do you know this is an account book?" The second child said with a smile on his face when he saw Chen Chunhua lost in thought. "Is the daughter-in-law literate?"

The boss glanced at the second child, and the daughter-in-law can read and write, so can she marry the third of them as a daughter-in-law? "Time and space are also fast, and soon I will hear chickens crowing outside, so I will lie down on the kang."

"I don't know how to read. I saw this thing when I went to other people's houses in Chenjiacun." Chen Chunhua said, and put down the book.I can't read, it's very troublesome, and she has to ask someone to look at her.

"It's still early!" The second child turned his head quickly, knowing that he had said something wrong.The daughter-in-law looks capable, she is very small, and she is carrying a bucket of water, which makes people feel distressed just looking at it.The potatoes and melons in the stove should be stewed, so I'll take them out. "

"Daughter-in-law, do you think it can be done? Partner with someone." The boss thought about it for the past few days. Although he doesn't understand business, he still understands the truth.

"I don't know!" Ask her about this, she hasn't met the owner yet, she won't know until she talks about it.

The second child picked up a few stewed potatoes and melons from the stove, and they were warm and warm after eating.After Chen Chunhua finished eating the potatoes and melons, she couldn't bear it and fell asleep on the table.

When she woke up, it was already daylight, seeing that the three of them were not there, she hurriedly dressed and got off the kang.

Today was the first day of the new year, the boss was busy making lunch, and planned to enter the room to call Chen Chunhua, when he entered, the two collided with each other with a bang.

The eldest was fine, but Chen Chunhua suffered, and fell to the ground, and the new clothes that the third made for her were stained with dust.

"Daughter-in-law, where did you fall?" The boss hurriedly helped Chen Chunhua up, and patted the dust off her body.Chen Chunhua gritted her teeth with a painful nose, her eyes were red. "I'm fine, brother, are you okay?"

"What can I do!" The boss supported Chen Chunhua, her small body has been here for so long, but it still hasn't grown.Don't say he is anxious, the three brothers are all anxious.

Seeing how the boss pursed his lips, Chen Chunhua burst out laughing.As expected, it was Chinese New Year. She remembered that when she was a child, she fell like this once in her grandmother's house, and that time she fell so badly that she got a big bump on her head.

The boss saw Chen Chunhua smiling, but he couldn't figure it out. He touched his face, but he couldn't figure it out. "Daughter-in-law, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I'm just happy!" She was happy, a little sour.After thirty years, I have always been with Sister Chen, but I didn't expect to change this time.

"Daughter-in-law, it's time to eat. After lunch, go to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings!" The boss said, pulling Chen Chunhua out of the house.They also visit every relative in the house, but they go to the village chief's house every year.

Chen Chunhua sat on the table, gnawed on the steamed bread with white flour, and looked at Lao Dao. "Where are the second and third brothers?"

"They went to Erzhuzi's house, Erzhuzi came here today, and we passed together."

"What did you do in the past?"

"The second child said that after the new year, he would go to work with Er Zhuzi, and the third child wanted Er Zhuzi to teach him how to read."

After lunch, the boss took Chen Chunhua out the door, and the snow outside hardened, making a creaking sound when he stepped on it.

After crossing the river, looking at the past at a glance, the snow is white, which makes people feel good.But at this moment, Chen Chunhua didn't dare to play in the snow, the snow on the ground was hard and her hands were even colder.
