Yang Wanwan said his plan for the coming year: "Erye, Shang Tao, I don't want to farm and raise pigs next year." We continue to make cold salad and braised pork to sell, and catch some fish and shrimp, which are more profitable than farming and pig raising, and it doesn't take the three of us too much time. In this way, I can save some money, and my high school tuition will be enough. Next summer, I want to do some business in the county, and in the future, when you go to high school, you will have a place to go, and you will be able to spend money. ”

Erye and Shang Tao both looked at the eldest sister expectantly and kept nodding.

As for whether what the eldest sister said could be realized, they didn't think about it at all.

They only know that following the eldest sister can make their lives better and better.

When I woke up the next day, it was snowing heavily and the weather was very cold.

In the past few years since their parents died, their feet and hands have been red with chilblains in the winter.

And this year, they have already prepared lotus root coal, firewood, and bought warm cotton shoes and cotton clothes, and the sisters and brothers did not have chilblains.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, on the 29th of the lunar month, the fish, shrimp and marinated meat at home are sold similarly, and the New Year's goods are also ready.

After breakfast, the three siblings went to the grave of their parents.

Yang Wanwan told his parents about the general experience of the three sisters and brothers for a year, praised the growth of the younger brothers and sisters, and finally assured his parents: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, our three sisters and brothers will grow up well." ”

Except for a little solemnity on everyone's faces, no one was crying.

The deceased is gone, the parents have been dead for almost five years, and the deepest pain has gradually faded in the past few years. All they have to do is look backwards, look into the future.

And, isn't that what parents want?

What good can we do to cry?

Besides, the sisters and brothers who have been tempered in the hardships of life already have a kind of crying embarrassment at this moment, and crying represents a weak emotion.

I'm embarrassed to shed tears in front of others.

After setting off the firecrackers, the sisters and brothers bowed a few times and walked back with baskets.

On the way, when you meet people who come to worship your ancestors, many people will talk about it quietly.

Look, these are the three children left by Yang Jinqiang. Yang Jinqiang and his wife have been dead for almost five years, and the three children have grown up, which is really not easy.

It's not easy, there are such uncles and second uncles.

Alas, this Yang Wanwan is really a capable family, and the three sisters and brothers should have a future.

……

Unconsciously, people's discussions are gradually drifting away.

No longer entangled in the discussion of the "white-eyed wolf" of the sisters and brothers.

Yang Wanwan heard a lot of their discussions.

People are like this at any time, weak and incompetent can only be despised by others, even if you are kind and harmless, no one looks down on you.

Only when you become strong will others face you up and talk about you with positive language.

Weakness means not being needed, being strong is needed.

Amid the sound of people's discussions and intermittent firecrackers, the three Yang Wanwan sisters and brothers walked out of the grave mountain.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Bendbend took his grandparents to his home for the New Year. In recent years, Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang have always spent Chinese New Year's Eve with their siblings.

In the first few years, the three sisters and brothers went to their grandparents' house, but this year, Yang Wanwan and his sister and brother insisted on taking their grandparents over.

Grandpa Yang and his wife did not agree at first, and it costs a lot of money to buy a table of meals on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In any case, a chicken, a fish, and a few catties of meat must be had. A local chicken costs twenty or thirty yuan, plus others, and a table of meals costs more than fifty yuan casually.

In previous years, Grandpa Yang and his wife wanted to save the money for their grandchildren, so they asked their grandchildren to follow the old couple for the New Year.

This year, the grandchildren have been persuading their grandparents since they were young. Grandpa Yang and his wife were forced to go to their kitchen to inspect and found that the chickens, ducks and fish were complete, so they reluctantly agreed.

The local chicken is a chicken that has been raised by the family for 10 months, and it is stewed with chestnuts until it is soft and tender; the duck meat is fried and wrapped in rice flour and stewed until it is soft; the fish is three small red carp, the meat is delicious and tender; the pork knuckle is stewed with kelp, the soup is thick and melts in the mouth; there is also a vegetable hot pot, which is filled with fish soup, meatballs and other meats, as well as various vegetables grown at home.

Considering that Grandpa Yang and his wife have bad teeth, everything is very soft and rotten.

Grandpa Yang took a bite of the carp and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Sweet made by bend!"

I took another sip of rice wine, and my eyes lit up, "Sweet!"

Grandma Yang happily ate a bite of the elbow skin, her mouth full of fragrant, "Ah, Wanwan, you stew it well! ”

Shang Tao tilted his head: "Grandma, how did you know that it was stewed by the eldest sister as soon as you ate it?"

"Your eldest sister has been either doing this or that in the past few months, and she has to give it to her grandmother to eat whatever she does, and I will taste it as soon as I taste it. Shang Tao, do you see if grandma has gained some weight?"

Shang Tao shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

Grandma Yang smiled and said: "The people in the village say that I have gained a lot of weight in the second half of the year, and I eat the meat you made, not because I touched my grandchildren." ”

Grandpa Yang took a puff of dry tobacco and narrowed his eyes, "Your sister and brother are capable and promising, grandparents are happy, and this is why they are fat." ”

The sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, and the dinner table was filled with strong joy and warm family affection.

Yang Wanwan said: "Grandpa, grandma, you continue to come over tomorrow morning, and we will make dumplings to eat." ”

Shang Tao's eyes lit up, "That's it, the eldest sister makes the best dumplings!"

Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang were happy and agreed.

The next day, the sisters and brothers got up early, Yang Wanwan prepared the dumpling filling, and Erye led the eldest sister and Shang Tao to roll out the dumpling skin, and soon wrapped a ball of dumplings.

Yang Wanwan went to call Grandpa Yang and his wife over, and they brought some oranges and sweets for their grandchildren to eat.

The five grandparents and grandchildren happily ate dumplings, and the dinner table was always filled with laughter.

According to the usual customs in the village, Yang Wanwan's sister and brother should also go to Yang Dali and Yang Youneng's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of junior high school.

However, they did not go this year.

Everyone has torn their faces and become like this, what kind of face do they pretend to maintain?

Yang Qingqiu came home on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and after he came back, he did not come to Yang Wanwan's house.

Yang Wanwan saw him when he walked around the village, he was dressed fashionably, he was already quite handsome, and he also inherited the height characteristics of the Yang family, tall and straight, standing very conspicuous in a group of people.

Someone greeted Yang Wanwan, and of course Yang Qingqiu saw Yang Wanwan, but Yang Qingqiu just glanced at Yang Wanwan contemptuously, and then took his gaze back.

What he was thinking, Yang Wanwan knew very well.

This is to complain about Yang Wanwan.

Yang Wanwan made up his mind and had no contact with Yang Dali and Yang Youneng at all.

However, looking at Yang Qingqiu's posture, can the two families let her go Yang Wanwan?

Can you live in peace this year?
