Chapter 141: New Year's Money
After picking the vegetables and coming back, I simply cooked the rice, steamed the leftovers of the New Year, and simply ate the lunch, just after eating, some people in the village came to call Guo Shuyun to play mahjong, Guo Shuyun immediately responded, and told Guo Shulin to watch the house at home, and left without even cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
Guo Shulin took Ruofei to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and led Ruofei to play at the door of his house, fortunately, Ruofei was popular, and after a while, there were children in the village who came to Ruofei to play, and a group of children played eagles and chickens outside, Guo Shulin was not big, in fact, he was not much different from children, so he also participated, became an eagle who caught chickens, and chased this group of little children to play in the drying field.
On the morning of the second year of junior high school, Guo Shuyun's sister and brother went out to pay New Year's greetings, Ruofei did not follow, and simply stayed at home to help entertain guests, after all, the second day of junior high school is also the day when others come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, so it is generally the juniors in the family who go out to pay New Year's greetings, and the elders stay at home to entertain guests.
Not long after breakfast, Ruofei and the Bi Tingting sisters next door were playing a game of kicking the house at the door of their house, and they heard someone shouting from a distance.
"Mother-in-law, brother-in-law is here, and he brought Tao Ping over. Entering the house, Ruofei immediately shouted.
"Tao Ping is here?" As soon as she heard that her little son-in-law and little nephew were coming, Zhao Cuiying hurriedly put down her work and shouted into the house: "Old man, the two soldiers are here, hurry up and get firecrackers and set off firecrackers." ”
Guo Xingwang, who heard the news, immediately went to look for firecrackers and matches, and soon Tao Jun's father and son appeared at the door, and shouted at the house with a smile: "Dad, Mom, I have a New Year's greeting to you, a good New Year." ”
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, come into the house, why didn't Xiazi come with you, are your parents okay?" After a while, there was a crackling sound.
"Mom, my parents are fine, Xiazi is at home to entertain people who are paying New Year's greetings today, so she didn't come with me. Tao Jun led his son into the house and replied. Because of the separation, there naturally can't be no one at home, so Guo Shuxia can't leave.
Zhao Cuiying nodded when she heard this, and didn't pursue much, but got up and went to pour sugar water for Tao Jun's father and son. During the New Year, guests at home are invited to drink sugar water.
After a while, Zhao Cuiying came out with the brewed brown sugar water, walked up to Tao Jun and said, "Come and drink some sugar water to warm up, you guys went out early in the morning, but our Pingzi froze to death." ”
After putting away the sugar water for Tao Jun, Zhao Cuiying walked to Tao Ping's feelings, picked up Tao Ping, and said with distress in her eyes: "Pingzi, are you frozen, do you want to be a mother-in-law?"
Although Tao Ping is not very old, he is only a little more than three years old. But already recognized people,
Naturally, she also knew that this was her grandmother, and she didn't recognize her life, but said very affectionately: "Mother-in-law, I'm not cold, I miss my mother-in-law, mother-in-law, hug." ”
The little baby's milky voice, and the appearance of opening her hand to hug it, Zhao Cuiying is very rare. Suddenly his face was full of smiles, and he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, mother-in-law hug." ”
Saying that, Zhao Cuiying hugged Tao Ping. smiled and said, "Pingzi, my mother-in-law will give you boiled eggs and scrambled meat to eat, okay?"
"Okay, Pingping wants to eat meat and eggs. Tao Ping responded happily.
Zhao Cuiying didn't say a word, hugged Tao Ping and walked towards the stove, and said to Ruofei on the side as she walked: "Xiaofei, you go into the stove with your mother-in-law to make a fire." I'll cook a bowl of rice cakes for your uncle. ”
"Bh. Ruofei answered, and was about to follow Zhao Cuiying in, but thinking that she hadn't said hello to her uncle, it was not good to leave like this, so she turned around and smiled at Tao Jun before saying, "Uncle, happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year and all the best." ”
As soon as Ruofei's auspicious words were said, Tao Jun was immediately happy, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Happy New Year, our Xiaofei will say auspicious words, come, this is the New Year's money given to you by your uncle, you can use it to buy candy to eat." ”
Saying that, Tao Jun took out the red envelope that he had prepared before from his pocket, and when he saw this, Ruofei's face suddenly turned crimson, after all, she was not really a child, and it seemed that she said those words because of the New Year's money, which naturally made Ruofei a little embarrassed.
So Ruofei naturally didn't reach out to pick it up, but excused herself: "No need, I don't eat sugar, I will get tooth decay ......"
Tao Jun naturally didn't think much about it, and saw Ruofei awkwardly resigned, just as a child, and didn't dare to answer without an adult, so he smiled and said: "What are you polite to your uncle, hurry up, don't buy candy to eat, you can also buy a pen and a book, study hard, don't you?"
For a while, if you don't pick it up, you can't pick it up, so you have to stand uneasily, but Zhao Cuiying, who has not yet entered the house, said: "Xiaofei, what your uncle-in-law gave you, and it wasn't given by others, hurry up." ”
Hearing this, Ruofei glanced back at her grandmother, and saw that her grandmother was not polite, so she took Tao Jun's red envelope and whispered, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Tao Jun nodded, "Study hard, you can't be complacent, you know?"
Ruofei naturally looked like she was being taught, and said in her mouth: "I know my uncle, you rest, I'll help my mother-in-law make a fire." ”
"Okay, let's go. Tao Jun said with a smile, at this time, Guo Xingwang also walked in from outside, Tao Jun got up to greet him, and Ruofei also followed Zhao Cuiying to the stove.
Entering the stove, Zhao Cuiying put down Tao Ping, first went to the stove to burn the fire, and then instructed Ruofei to take Tao Ping to the back of the stove to burn the fire, after all, Tao Jun's house is not close to Xiao Guowan, and he rode over, even if Tao Ping was dressed tightly, there was no less wind on the way, so Zhao Cuiying lit the fire, and let Ruofei sit behind the stove with Tao Ping, so that it would be warmer faster.
And Zhao Cuiying set out to make rice cakes for Tao Jun to eat, in Ruofei's hometown, as long as someone comes to visit the New Year during the New Year, they must make rice cakes, eat a bowl of rice cakes first, and wait until noon to eat the main meal, these are all customs.
Ruofei hugged Tao Ping and sat behind the stove to light the fire, fortunately, Ruofei was no stranger to this job, because she was more afraid of the cold before, especially when she got up in the morning, her favorite thing to do was to hide behind the stove to help light the fire, so that she not only did her work, but also warmed herself.
"Cousin, drink water, sweet. Not long after Ruofei hugged Tao Ping and sat down, Tao Ping shouted at Ruofei.
Ruofei understood as soon as she heard it, and knew that Tao Ping wanted to drink sugar water, and her grandmother had soaked the sugar water before and put it outside, so Ruofei arranged Tao Ping on a small chair that burned the fire, and comforted: "Pingzi, you sit tight, cousin will go and get it for you."
