After dinner, everyone did not know how to do anything today. They basically gathered at the entrance of the village to chat, while the children ran wildly.
After all, all year long, it’s just a few days where you can do nothing.
After the Chinese New Year, we will start digging and weeding.
Yunfei thought that there was nothing to do in the village, so he simply suggested: "How about I take you to the town to play? I heard that there will be a lantern show tonight."
Then tomorrow morning, we will go directly to Zhao's house in town to pay New Year's greetings. After returning home at noon, we will go to Du's house to pay New Year's greetings.
There is no need to go to Zhang Dujuan's house, so just buy her something to make up for it.
"Really? My husband, my husband, I want to go!!" Zhao Baozhu was extremely happy.
In previous years, there were lanterns in the town, but she had never seen them.
Because her father only took Er Niang and the others there, while her mother and she had to stay at home to take care of her grandparents.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, my grandma would come back from the pig farm to stay for a few days.
Grandpa doesn't take care of things very much and works hard all year round. Grandma doesn't like my mother very much because she failed to give birth to a boy.
Of course, I don't like her either because she is a girl.
Du Qingliu and Zhang Dujuan also had some emotions in their eyes.
Bai Guihua tugged at the hem of her clothes and said, "Brother, I am already a girl to be married. I can't show myself in public. You and your sisters-in-law can go ahead and I'll look after the house."
But the envy in her eyes almost overflowed.
She has never been to the town in all her life.
In the past, my father would sell the embroidery work, or my mother would sell it herself, and later it would be entrusted to Yunfei to sell it.
I asked my family to bring whatever I needed, and I never mentioned that I wanted to go to town.
Yunfei wanted to rub her head, but restrained himself. This was not modern.
Even if they are brothers and sisters, such intimate behavior is not allowed.
He smiled and said, "There is no need to look after the house, our family only has chickens worth some money.
I'm going to get them some more food. We won't go back tonight. We'll stay in the town for one night. You go and pack up and see what you need to bring. "
"Ah! My husband, you are so kind!" Zhao Baozhu hugged him happily.
Yunfei quickly stretched out his hand to steady her waist, "Be careful."
"hey-hey."
"Then I'll go clean up first. My husband will wait a moment." When Du Qingliu returned to the room, his steps were obviously much brisker.
It's just that she is not as happy as Zhao Baozhu.
As a concubine, she has never been to the town.
Among them, Zhang Dujuan is probably the only one who often hangs out in the town, but she has never been in the mood to watch lanterns in the past.
All she thinks about every day is how to survive.
So I also long for this kind of family trip to the town.
She is completely different now than she was then.
At first, his skin was skinny and dark, his body was scarred, he was wearing rags and smelly clothes, and he looked like a beggar.
Although her skin is not fair now, it is still fairer than the women in the village.
The body also has a lot of flesh, and the red cotton-padded clothes make her face pink and tender.
Hanging around their waists were the sachets Yunfei had given them, which had a soothing effect and exuded a light fragrance.
The scars have also been healed. The superficial ones have left no scars, and the deep ones are fading after applying medicine. It is only a matter of time before they disappear completely.
She stood in the yard and looked up at the blue brick house.
The small house was filled with people and things that made her heart care.
The demure eldest sister, the adventurous third sister, the well-behaved sister-in-law, and...the elegant and simple husband.
She thought that with her birth, it would be great to have someone to marry her, but she never expected that by some strange combination of circumstances, she would become a scholar's equal wife.
She didn't even dare to take a look at this kind of man while walking on the street, and now she actually gave birth to a child with him.
Thinking of this, she gently stroked her belly.
It's so magical, right here, there is a little baby growing up secretly.
In a few months, they can meet.
Wearing the little clothes she made by herself, wearing a cute tiger head hat, she showed a heart-melting smile.
When he grew up, his father would teach him how to read and write, and she would help him mend his clothes...
"Sister Zhang, what are you still doing? Go and pack your things."
"Okay." Zhang Dujuan smiled after coming back to his senses.
She rarely smiled, but in the past two months, she had laughed more than in her entire life.
Soon, they were on the donkey cart.
Although the donkey cart moves slowly, at least it is not bumpy.
They don't have to rush anyway.
Along the way, laughter and laughter came from the car. Yunfei was leading the donkey outside and was in a good mood.
The snow had already melted away, and there was no water on the road, so it was not slippery and I walked smoothly.
The howling wind was a bit cold, but fortunately the new cotton coat was warm enough.
…………
Soon they came to the town.
During the Chinese New Year, many businessmen who went out also came back, so the town was particularly lively.
There are many small vendors. After all, celebrating the New Year is not as important as survival for some people.
It’s easier to make money when there are more people.
Yunfei took everyone to the largest inn in town to book a room, but was told that it was already full.
Then we went to another smaller inn, which happened to have the last three rooms.
All three rooms are upper rooms. After all, the reason for coming to such a small inn to rest is to save money.
So going to a house is not an option for most people.
After entering the room, Du Qingliu immediately covered the bed with the sheets he brought.
She was a bit uncomfortable with this kind of guest room.
There are three rooms, one for Du Qingliu and Zhao Baozhu, one for Zhang Dujuan and Bai Guihua, and one for Yunfei himself.
After nightfall, the frolicking outside turned out to be even louder!
There were lanterns, acrobatics, and flower boats singing and dancing on the river.
Bright yellow light filled the entire river, and on the bank next to it, there were many people queuing up to put out lights.
There were many people and it was a bit crowded, so Yunfei protected the four of them to watch the sideshow.
In the crowd, Zhao Baozhu also met a few familiar faces. She pursed her lips and tugged on Yunfei's sleeve to show him.
I saw Butcher Zhao's son sitting on his neck, followed by a petite woman and a girl wearing a curtain.
It was obviously the two mothers, mother and son.
Not seeing Yuan's figure, Yunfei asked thoughtfully: "Would you like to go see mother?"
Zhao Baozhu shook his head with a bitter smile on his face, "No, mother has to serve grandma at this time, and we can't see her."
"Well, let's go early tomorrow."
Neither husband nor wife thought about going over to say hello. The family was reunited, so they probably didn't want to see them.
After the excitement subsided, everyone returned to the inn to rest.
Yunfei dug out the small ginseng in the space and packed it in a wooden box.
Prepare to sell it in these two days and buy a house in the town.
By the way, I would like to ask about Ye Zi. If you can, buy it and stay with them to serve them.
When talking about this today, he noticed that everyone's mood was obviously depressed.
Although Ye Zi has nothing to do with them, that girl is really pitiable.
Anyway, sooner or later a family will need to buy servants.
