Liu Xuemei looked up at her daughter who ran into the kitchen and said softly: "What's delicious? It's worthy of you offering it as a treasure."
"It's the sugar hawthorn made by Er Shun's wife. It's sour and sweet. It's really delicious. There's a thick layer of frosting on the outside." After Shui Bingyue finished speaking, she took one out of a brown paper bag and handed it to her mother. .
Liu Xuemei took it and ate it in her mouth, nodding: "It's really delicious. Er Shun is lucky to have a good wife."
"Mom, what did you cook for lunch today? Why does it smell so good?"
"The goose stewed in the iron pot was sent by Tingchen."
"Why did he remember to give us something?"
"I didn't know, so I gave him roe deer meat and big carp in return. Where are your brothers? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Liu Xuemei and her daughter chatted for a long time. No sons came in.
"They went fishing and shrimp fishing with other boys. They said they had eaten too much frozen food and wanted to eat something fresh."
Soon, after the goose was stewed, four big boys came back carrying fish and shrimp. A few people really wanted to eat shrimps, so they cleaned up the shrimps and made garlic prawns from Shui Jianshe.
The family sat together and ate happily. Xiaoqi expressed her satisfaction: "I'm really happy today. I got everything I wanted to eat."
"The big goose was sent by Tingchen. One weighs about ten kilograms. I only cooked half of it. I want to eat it and stew it tomorrow." Liu Xuemei is never shy about eating, and of course she lets the children eat to their heart's content.
Shui Shangqing patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder: "If you want to eat from now on, it depends on whether you can catch the big goose."
"Dad, you know that I was pecked by a goose when I was very young and I am very afraid of geese, yet you still say this."
"Be brave and overcome your fear, so you have nothing to fear. Isn't this goose a delicious meal for you?" Shui Jianshe said to Xiao Qi.
"Sister~" Xiaoqi asked Bingyue for help. He can't afford to offend his father and fourth brother.
Shui Bingyue shook her head helplessly: "I think Fourth Brother is right. You are just like me. I hate snakes very much, but when I encounter them, I still have to take action. People can't always rely on others."
When Huo Tingchen returned to the landlord's old house, Su Mengchen had already cooked roast chicken, spicy rabbit, and stewed squab. The three of them ate happily together.
"Uncle Su, don't you plan to find a partner? I think Li Zhiqing seems to like you very much."
Su Mengchen laughed: "Tingchen, how old are you? I don't have that intention. The two of us are not suitable."
"If he hadn't been with us, Uncle Su would have gotten married long ago, right?"
"No, I haven't met a girl who makes my heart beat. Now I have to live the present moment. We will talk about the future later."
Mr. Huo watched his grandson chatting happily with Su Mengchen, and felt that he had indeed dragged him down. But his son said that he was doing his best to help him clear his grievances. That light is in the near future.
However, Shen Dongsheng felt that it was impossible to leave here now. After all, this is not a matter of one person, but of many, many people. If there is no perfect solution, it will not be released.
Just like in ancient times, unless a superior person grants amnesty to the world, those who cannot stand up will have a chance to survive.
Some things cannot be rushed. He has no descendants, but he has a simple and lovely apprentice who will be half of his son in the future. Everything recovered was to be left to him.
Fang Xiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun held their daughter and ate pheasant soup together. Apart from having no money, the family was happy.
After all, the little girl can already call her mom and dad. With such a baby, she is really looking forward to her future.
Lin Qiaoyun asked her husband: "Do you think that when we can leave one day, will we be reluctant to leave here?"
"Maybe, but I definitely want to live an upright life. I don't want to be looked down upon by others all the time. We Yaya are so beautiful, we should have a good future."
Parents are all very affectionate.
Soon, it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the temperature started to rise. Shui Shangqing took his wife and daughter to pay New Year's greetings to his mother-in-law.
The old lady lived at her eldest son's house. Shui Bingyue ran towards her grandma as soon as she got out of the car, and then said hello to her uncle and aunt.
Liu Xueshan picked up Shui Bingyue and kissed her on the face: "Even though I have seen you, I thought you wouldn't come this year."
"No way, I miss my uncle and aunt too."
Huang Shan quickly handed the red envelope she had prepared long ago to Shui Bingyue: "This is the New Year's money given by your uncle and I. Use it to buy candies."
"Thank you, aunt."
"Hey, you're so good. I only have a son and no daughter, so Bingyue might as well live with my aunt."
Shui Shangqing put the wild boar legs, roe deer meat and big fish on the table.
Liu Xuemei said to her sister-in-law: "Don't tease her. If I really live here with you, I won't leave."
"Brother, put Bingyue down. You can't hold her all the time. She's not light now." Shui Shangqing suggested.
Liu Xueshan then put the little girl down, and she ran to her grandma and whispered: "Grandma, please come back to my house with us. We have everything at home. We can eat whatever we want."
"Okay, grandma will come with you. I miss you brothers too."
Shui Bingyue said to Shui Shangqing and Liu Xuemei: "Mom and dad, let's go to the second uncle's house quickly, and then take grandma home."
"Girl, you just came here and kidnapped your grandma. What a ghost." Huang Shan was naturally happy. After all, her mother-in-law was older and she was not young anymore.
Shui Bingyue followed her parents to leave the New Year's gift at her second uncle's place and left without saying a few words.
Seeing Goudaner reluctant to let go of Bingyue. Liu Xuemei said to her second brother: "Let Goudan'er follow us to Qingshui Village to live for a while. Anyway, everyone has nothing to do in winter."
Wang Caihe refused: "Your second brother and I are already lonely. If you take Goudan'er away, we will find life difficult."
Liu Xuefeng patted his wife on the shoulder, and then said to his sister: "You guys take Goudan'er away. He has no playmates here and is quite lonely. I can go to your house to play with some of my cousins."
In this way, a visit to relatives brought back two relatives. The brothers in the family were also very happy about grandma's arrival.
Put delicious dried meats, fruits, and dried fruits on the table.
The old lady was very happy because her grandchildren's pain was not in vain. Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi all chatted with Goudaner.
The room was full of laughter. This makes it more like celebrating the New Year.
Shui Shangqing and Liu Xuemei went to the kitchen to make lunch, and they were very happy.
Liu Xuemei smiled and said: "Bingyue still has a way. Mom has never wanted to disturb our lives, but this time she is willing to follow us back."
"I don't have any objection to letting my mother live here all the time. After all, she has taken care of the children, and we should take care of her." Shui Shangqing always said the truth.
