Chapter 188: Mother's Mother-in-law's Family
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is a new year.
In the past year, Yang Xinyue has solved her personal affairs, although it is not very complete, but it can finally make her parents breathe a sigh of relief.
No longer meets acquaintances like in the past, and she is embarrassed to ask about her eldest daughter.
There is an older leftover girl in the family, and her younger siblings are all married, but she has not yet married.
In the eyes of the villagers, they will feel that either you have a psychological problem or a physical problem.
It's always a bit wrong.
Otherwise, you are too picky, you used to pick others, but now others pick you.
will be left.
They don't look at the process, they don't care about the cause, they only look at the result.
The result is that you are left.
In the past, every year when Yang Xinyue walked in the village, whenever she met someone, she had to ask her again, did she have a partner?
Yang Xinyue was annoyed by asking questions, and she didn't like to go out when she came back for the New Year.
Her parents don't like to go out.
This year, her parents seem to be a little proud.
Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Yang Xinyue slept until she woke up naturally, and she didn't see her mother.
On the first day of the new year, I go out to pay New Year's greetings from time to time.
But it's still okay to walk around the village and visit each other's doors to greet each other.
Today, I don't kill, I can't clean, I can't do a lot of things. Yang Xinyue's mother can find something to do for herself every day, and the first day of the Lunar New Year is the most idle time of the year.
Yang Xinyue freshened up, and when she arrived in the living room, she saw that her two little nieces had gotten up early, changed into beautiful new clothes, and sat there watching cartoons.
Sure enough, the New Year is still the happiest for children.
I've been clamoring for new clothes since yesterday.
Yang Xinyue buys them two or three sets of clothes every year, plus her sister buys, others buy, and the two children are not the same from Chinese New Year's Eve to the beginning of the year.
Yang Xinyue sent New Year's red envelopes to the two children, and the two children happily arched their hands and said: "Thank you, auntie, I wish my aunt good health and all the best!"
Yang Xinyue smiled and touched their heads: "Good, you also study hard, smart and clever." ”
I sent another one to her cousin and grandmother.
The third aunt saw that her cousin quickly took the red envelope with her hands and feet, and said angrily: "I am all graduated and working, and I am embarrassed to take the red envelope." ”
Her cousin said proudly, "Who made me small!"
Yang Xinyue saw him come up again, patted him away, and found some snacks for breakfast.
The tradition of Yang Xinyue's hometown is to give the old and young people New Year's money, and her parents will send it to Yang Xinyue and her younger brother and sister, but she will not send it to her parents.
Usually she will transfer a sum of money to her father before the Chinese New Year for her father, and she will also transfer a sum of money to her parents before leaving, but she will not send red envelopes.
Yang Xinyue had breakfast with everyone in the living room.
Her brother suggested going to her uncle's house.
Yang Xinyue responded.
The first day of junior high school goes out from time to time.
But her uncle's family is from the same village as Yang Xinyue. It has a different surname from her family.
Yang Xinyue's grandmother was the adopted daughter bought by a big landlord in their village in the past. After the liberation, the local tyrants and inferior gentry were beaten, and my grandmother had nowhere to go, so she settled in their village.
Her grandfather was a cattle herder from the landlord's family, and the two poor people who didn't even know where their hometown was, got permission from the new government, granted them land in the village, and settled down.
At that time, Yang Xinyue's grandfather could let the father of the eldest son Yang Xinyue marry her mother, and Yang Xinyue never asked why.
There was no such thing as free love.
Yang Xinyue's uncle's house is not far from her house, and the two sisters and brothers, their brother-in-law and two nieces came to the door with New Year's gifts.
Yang Xinyue's grandmother gave birth to eight children and supported six.
She has three uncles and two aunts.
My grandparents are gone.
Because my grandmother's family is a foreign surname, she was not less ostracized by the village before.
The good land in the village is also reluctant to be distributed to her family, and the family did not have much say in the village before. So several brothers and sisters in my grandmother's family are united and quite united.
In addition to Yang Xinyue's mother who married in the village, the three sisters also married only in the neighboring village, which is not far away. You can take care of it on a regular basis.
Each of the six siblings gave birth to an average of two or three children, and when I used to go back to my grandmother's house, there were many cousins and sisters, and it was very lively.
The three daughters are married nearby, each with a cigarette relative, and they can come over immediately if they say hello.
Slowly, my grandmother's life is better.
On the first day of junior high school, everyone didn't go out, and several uncles were at home.
When Yang Xinyue and her brother entered the door, they were surrounded by everyone and happily gathered together to talk.
Several uncles are soft-natured people, like her grandparents.
My aunts and uncles are all smart people, but they are also good people.
After chatting for a long time, the uncles had to keep the meal, and Yang Xinyue excused herself.
It's not very far away either.
Just a few steps away.
On the first day of junior high school, everyone can't go out to greet friends, they all stay at home honestly, and it is rare for the family to get together, talk and chat, and Yang Xinyue will play cards and mahjong with everyone.
Winning or losing is also a matter of turning from the left pocket to the right pocket.
Everyone had a great time. Soon the day passed.
The second day of the Lunar New Year.
This day is the day of welcoming the son-in-law.
If there are girls and aunts in the family, they will take their sons-in-law and children back to their parents' homes for the New Year.
Yang Xinyue's sister has returned to Fujian Province and will not come back.
She has an aunt who will be back today.
Her third aunt will also go back to her parents' house, and her younger brother and daughter-in-law will also go back.
Yang Xinyue's mother has a lot of opinions about her brother-in-law taking her brother and two children back to her parents' house early in the morning.
Her mother wanted to discuss with her that her aunt would come back today, and the second aunt would also leave, and the family would be entertained, but Yang Xinyue was afraid that she would not be able to be busy.
But her brother-in-law said that the sisters on her mother's side would also bring their families back this day, and they didn't listen to Yang Xinyue's mother, so they left early in the morning.
Yang Xinyue's mother was a little angry.
Yang Xinyue is used to cooking the family's meals. If there are many people, the food preparation time is early, and there is nothing.
Everyone has a mother's family, Yang Xinyue doesn't think anything.
Her mother is close to her mother's home, and she can go back whenever she wants, so there is no need to go back today.
Yang Xinyue saw that her mother was angry, so she comforted her mother.
Picking vegetables while chatting with her mother.
"Are you so angry? You have to go back to her parents' house for an old daughter, let alone her!"
"I don't want her to go back, or I want her to come back tomorrow. Today is another busy day at home, and in the afternoon your cousins will come to the door to pay New Year's greetings and throw everything to you. ”
"She won't see her cousins tomorrow, can she be happy?"
Yang Xinyue's mother lowered her voice and muttered: "Before the New Year, I didn't say that I would come back two days early to help with hygiene, the eldest sister returned thousands of kilometers away, she hasn't returned yet, and she won't come back until everything is done, and now she will run to her mother's house for the New Year and say that she will stay for a few days!"
Yang Xinyue said: "Mom, if you say so, I won't go back to my parents' house in the future, so I will stay at my mother-in-law's house." ”
glanced at her mother, and said: "The daughter you taught, you want to love your mother-in-law's family, you look at your sister, you won't come back until the New Year, are you happy? My brother and daughter-in-law's family raised her, shouldn't she love my mother's family? In the future, you don't want me to come back for the New Year?"
Yang Xinyue's mother stopped talking.
