Although this year has been very quiet, it does not prevent Xie Jiaojiao from having a good life!
On the night of New Year's Eve, Xie Jiaojiao made dumplings at home, stuffed with pork and cabbage, and Xie Zhiyi's mouth was full of oil.
After eating, the two set off firecrackers in the yard.
This is Xie Zhiyi's first time to set off firecrackers, so I'm so happy.
But it was also a bit sad: "Sister, it would be great if my mother was here."
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, just touched his little head.
After setting off the firecrackers, Xie Jiaojiao told him the story of Sun Wukong again. Xie Zhiyi listened with great concentration and kept Xie Jiaojiao from going to bed for a long time. In the end, Xie Jiaojiao drove him to bed before he fell asleep.
Thinking that it was the Chinese New Year, on the first day of the new year, Xie Jiaojiao was so excited that she killed all the old hens that had been raised in the backyard for a long time and stewed them to eat. She told Xie Zhiyi that in time for spring, go to the town and buy a dozen of them. Xie Zhiyi was so happy that the chickens were raised for him. He immediately forgot about the grudge against his sister for killing the old hens he had raised for so many years. When eating chickens, he ate much more happily than Xie Jiaojiao, and kept saying the truth tasty.
And here, Sun Ruhua spent the Chinese New Year at Xie Zhili's house, which was very watery.
Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong originally thought that no matter what Xie Jiaojiao said, she would bring something to them to wish them a happy new year or something. After all, Sun Ruhua was still at their house!
But after the second day of the Lunar New Year passed, no one came to the door.
Xie Kun came back at noon and said that Xie Zhiyi took a lot of delicious food and gave it to Niu Er, but none of it was given to him!
Zhou Cuihong felt angry after hearing this, pointed at his head and said: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"
Xie Kun pursed his lips: "Xie Zhiyi is even wearing new clothes!"
Zhou Cuihong stopped talking. Lying in bed at night, Zhou Cuihong said to Xie Zhili: "Master, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. You can take the time to talk to your mother about the matter."
Xie Zhili nodded, but then asked: "Not long after you came back, you went back again..."
Zhou Cuihong patted him lightly and complained: "This is the Chinese New Year. If I don't go back, won't I be criticized? Do you think I want to run? It's such a long way. Every time I go back and forth, my legs will hurt." Get rid of swelling!"
Xie Zhili also felt sorry for her: "It's not that I won't let you go back, Cheng, but don't delay this time. Go back tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow. You can give me some advice by your side."
Zhou Cuihong lay down: "Okay, I got it, don't worry!"
Early the next morning, Zhou Cuihong got up, cooked a few sweet potatoes, said hello to Sun Ruhua, and went out with Xie Kun.
When they were approaching the door, Xie Zhili pretended to ask her, "Have you brought anything for your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Zhou Cuihong opened the basket and found a cabbage and a few sweet potatoes inside, deliberately letting Sun Ruhua see them.
"Is this all you bring?" Xie Zhili said with a frown.
Zhou Cuihong had a look of grievance on her face, but she forced a smile on her face: "Head of the family, we don't have much money at home. Don't worry, my parents won't say anything!"
Xie Zhili hurriedly grabbed her, rummaged in his arms for a long time, and took out two copper coins and gave them to Zhou Cuihong, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Zhou Cuihong confiscated it: "Master, you keep it."
With that said, he took Xie Kun out.
Xie Zhili looked uncomfortable, and his eyes were red, as if he was about to shed tears. When he turned around to see Sun Ruhua, he hurriedly wiped away the tears that were not in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Mother is seeing a joke!"
Sun Ruhua opened her mouth but said nothing.
Xie Zhili went to the kitchen and brought out the cooked sweet potatoes, and sat at the dinner table with Sun Ruhua.
"Mom, it's useless for me to make you live a hard life with me, but don't worry, I will work hard to let you live a good life." After saying this, his eyes were still red.
Sun Ruhua comforted him and said, "As long as you work hard, these days will definitely get better and better."
Xie Zhili nodded: "Tomorrow, the baby's mother will come back. I'll kill the chickens in the backyard and stew them to replenish my mother's health!"
Sun Ruhua hurriedly said no, "Why kill the chicken? Keep it to lay eggs next year. It's more important to replenish the body of the child."
After saying that, Sun Ruhua ate the sweet potatoes and went to take care of her baby.
Xie Zhili was making dustpans and brooms in the yard.
Sun Ruhua watched, hugged the baby and went out. When she came back, she had a pound of meat in her hand.
When Xie Zhili saw it, he immediately ran up. When he saw the meat, his eyes lit up.
"Mom, what's your meat?"
"Mom bought it!" Sun Ruhua said with a smile.
"I think you said you wanted to kill a chicken this morning, so you must be greedy. Mom went to Aunt Wang's house next door to you. She bought meat from the town this morning. I asked her to cut a pound and sell it to me. We also eat meat at noon. It's a good time. For a year.”
Xie Zhili nodded with emotion on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, it turned out that Sun Ruhua came from that way, and she still had money with her!
Then this matter needs to be discussed in the long run! It's better to wait until Zhou Cuihong comes back.
The first few days of the New Year are just a matter of excitement. After the excitement is over, the spirit of the New Year is over.
Xie Jiaojiao also became busy.
I quickly started making soy sauce.
Xie Jiaojiao asked Tian Hu to run around the village for her, saying that her family collected soybeans in any quantity. When everyone heard this, they immediately carried the soybeans at home and headed towards Xie Jiaojiao's home.
Xie Jiaojiao's courtyard door has long been opened.
At the end of the day, basically everything in the village was finished.
Then someone who came to sell soybeans asked Xie Jiaojiao whether they would be able to harvest the soybeans at the end of the year or next year. If harvested, he has a lot of second-class land, so he can plant more this year.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately gave him a positive reply: "I'll take whatever you have!"
The people in line behind him also heard it.
"Miss Xie, what you said is true. Don't lie to us. If you really accept it, we will breed more."
"Don't worry, I said I'd harvest, and I'll harvest. I'll harvest whatever you sow!"
Now everyone is relieved.
Xie Zhili was embarrassed to bring the soybeans from home to sell. He weighed them at home and asked other people in the village to help sell them. Of course, Xie Jiaojiao didn't know about this. If he knew, he would definitely not accept even a single soybean. his.
Zhou Cuihong stayed at home for an extra day before returning with Xie Kun.
As soon as he came back, he was dragged back to the house by Xie Zhili, and he said unhappily: "Why did you delay going back for another day?"
Zhou Cuihong immediately felt aggrieved: "You think I thought that? My feet became swollen on the first day I went back. I rested at home for an extra day, so I brought only a few things back this time. Fortunately, my eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything."
Xie Zhili was immediately speechless.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhou Cuihong asked him: "How are you doing? Your mother's side..."
When he mentioned this, Xie Zhili immediately said: "What you said can't be done."
Seeing that Zhou Cuihong's face was unhappy, Xie Zhili immediately said, "I don't think it's the right time yet. You don't know, but my mother has money in her hands!"
"How is it possible! How can someone like Xie Jiaojiao ask her to come out with money?"
Xie Zhili nodded: "No, that's right. I went through my mother's bag secretly yesterday, and I didn't find the money. But I saw there was a silver hairpin in my mother's bag! After weighing it, it's worth more than one tael of silver!"
"Really?" Zhou Cuihong still didn't believe it.
"Why did I lie to you! Really!"
Zhou Cuihong rolled his eyes and started thinking again.
If Sun Ruhua had money in her hands, how could she tell them how to make money? If she wanted Sun Ruhua to tell Xie Jiaojiao how to make money, she would have to empty Sun Ruhua's money first!
Unexpectedly, the baby on the bed suddenly started crying. Zhou Cuihong said to Xie Zhili: "Master, I have an idea..."
