Seventy-six New Year's gifts

That night, Man Qing slept a dark and sweet sleep, thinking that the next day would not have so much to do, maybe she could be lazy, but as soon as the day was bright, the little sparrows in front of the house and behind the house were chattering and calling for friends, Man Qing still sat up quickly, dressed up, and started the day's busy work. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When feeding the chickens and ducks in the morning, Manqing selected a few to be slaughtered for the New Year, tied his wings and legs, and tied them to the side of the firewood house. This job may be easy for others, but it took a lot of effort for Man Qing to get two catches on his hands and a few more chicken feathers on his head, so he finally got it right.

"Chickens, ducks, you can be obedient today, it's the New Year, and it's not easy for me to raise you for almost a year...... Don't blame me!" Manqing said something to the chickens and ducks, and at the same time thought about calling Aunt Gui to come over later to help kill the chickens and ducks. -- It's all too hard to catch, and she can't do it if she is asked to take a knife and scratch the neck of a chicken and duck.

After finishing breakfast in a hurry, Man Qing saw that the hour was almost up, so she first led her things to the chief's house. Grandma Sun's family just finished eating, and they are also busy with the New Year. As soon as Man Qing arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Grandma Sun's little grandson saw it, and turned back to the main house and shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandma, grandma, the aunt of the old family has come to give a New Year's gift!"

As soon as these words came out, the people inside and outside the house were embarrassed: Grandma Sun thought that Manqing was not here to give a New Year's gift? Even if she was a New Year's gift, how could her own family say it first? Manqing wanted to even tell Grandma Sun's little grandson about it, and it seemed that their family was looking forward to giving this New Year's gift by themselves -- was she too late?

But he can't be blamed for that. Because he was still young, he slept with his grandparents at night. Grandma has been nagging these past few nights, why hasn't the young girl given a New Year's gift this year? This girl hasn't forgotten it! Everyone has been helping her for most of the year, so she won't be so unreasonable, and she doesn't say anything at all...... After listening to it a lot, I naturally shouted out as soon as I saw it at this time.

Grandma Sun's old face was a little red, and she snatched it out in a few steps, and grabbed her little grandson is a slap on the ass: "Call you to talk nonsense!

After beating her, she raised her head, and smiled at Man Qing, who had just stepped into the yard who was also a little blushing: "It's a young girl, it's so early, have you eaten?"

"Have you eaten, have you eaten, Grandma Sun?" Man Qing also raised a smile on her face, "I didn't disturb you to eat!"

"We've eaten too, no, just put down the bowl!" Grandma Sun said and slapped her little grandson on the back, "You go out to play, don't make trouble here!"

The little kid made a face at his grandmother and ran out of the room.

"The disobedience of the children's families, this one who has not read a book is unreasonable! Haha-young girl, come and sit in the house!"

"Alas!" Man Qing approached the house obediently, and then opened the burden he brought a little embarrassed, "Grandma Sun, I work alone at home, and I have been doing a lot of things recently, and I can't take care of it...... I bought some food in town the other day, don't mind if I give you a ......."

Man Qing gave two catties of brown sugar, which was good for the old people to eat; there were also two catties of candy, which were also common gifts for the New Year's Day; and then there were the cotton shoes she took the time to make for the two old men - except for the fabric, the others were all leftovers for clothes, and it didn't cost much money, but it took a lot of time to grind.

Grandma Sun took the two pairs of shoes and praised them, "Why do you say that you are so capable? How delicate these shoes are! The cotton is also evenly made! Your grandfather and I are going to enjoy your blessings this year, and we will have new shoes to wear during the New Year!"

"I'm also trying to do it, and I don't know if it fits - I deliberately made it bigger, if it's not suitable, I'll make another pair later!"

Grandma Sun waved her hand again and again when she heard this, "You have a lot of family affairs, and you are the only one who works, what are you doing so much?!, you don't need to look at it, it must fit!" As she spoke, she took off her shoes with a smile on her face, put on new shoes and tried them on, "Ah, it's just right!" She also stood up and walked a few steps, "You said that you girl is accurate, why does it fit like this?!"

Man Qing pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart that she started making shoes when she was ten years old, and she could be almost inseparable from how long this person's feet were. A person like her, who eats by needle and thread, can't she pay more attention to this!

"You just need to be comfortable!"

"Comfortable, comfortable, so comfortable!Haha, it's really more of you, young girl!"

Man Qing said a few polite words to her, and when she went home, she had a large handful of dried yuba that Grandma Sun had forced over. Yuba is delicious when it is scalded when it is eaten in a pot, and it is not expensive, so everyone likes to eat it. But this thing is no better than garlic sprouts and shallots, everyone has them, so Grandma Sun just stuffed a lot of them for her.

With a face on her face, Man Qing walked briskly towards home. In the New Year, everyone likes to eat hot pots, and the wind is cold outside, but in the house, everyone is around a steaming chicken or bacon pot, what to eat and what is hot, men drink, women chat, isn't it fun. But there are not many chickens and ducks in the Manqing family, so they have to save a little, and they can't stand eating in such a hot pot.

Hehe, forget it.

But the yuba is made into spicy three silks, which is also delicious, isn't it?

When he returned home, Manqing went to Gui's house to deliver things. This time, Aunt Gui was also so moved that she couldn't do it, and she let her go until she was so red and red-faced. It's no wonder that Aunt Gui is rare in those two clothes, but her needlework skills are not very good, and osmanthus tweed, don't mention it, so the family's coats are bought in the town, and the vests and Uesugi are fooled......

Thinking of something, Aunt Gui glared at Manqing, "Didn't you make me all the clothes you bought in the town that day, did you? What about your own? I asked you to make it for you that day!"

Man Qing hurriedly replied: "Mmmm, I also made a shirt for myself! It's a long cotton jacket, but it's comfortable!" Seeing what Aunt Gui wanted to say, she hurriedly said, "I'll wear it tomorrow!"

"That's pretty much it!" Aunt Gui laughed when she heard this, and reached out to poke Manqing's forehead, "You girl, it's really—don't you need me to boast." But I'm also taking care of myself, I've been making clothes lately, and I'm tired, right?"

Man Qing also pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

At this time, Osmanthus came into the house from outside, and when she saw the new clothes, she sighed again, and called why there was no her.

"You have the face to say that I don't even have the face to listen! Manqing is younger than you, and these clothes are so beautiful, what about you? You are wasting cloth by letting you embroider a handkerchief! Why did I give birth to such a stupid girl with such hands and feet?"

Man Qing became more and more difficult to pick up, so she just pursed her lips and looked at the daily bickering of the mother and daughter.

"Why don't I have the face to say, I'm not like you like this! You're so old, can't you make such beautiful clothes as Manqing?"

“…… You're a dead girl, you're still talking back......"

A few people laughed and laughed, and even the air in this room was hot. Aunt Gui suddenly thought of something, so she asked Man Qing, "By the way, have you made clothes for Gao Lao?" In the past few months, the Confucian robes on Gao Lao's body have become a joke in this area, and there are a few holes in it, which is nondescript. Because of this, there are still some people gossiping about Manqing. Aunt Gui felt sorry for Manqing, and couldn't bear to listen to those words, so she reminded her from time to time, "Anyway, he's still your father!" Aunt Gui said with a little smile in her voice, "Didn't he go to the river to wash the futon by himself recently?"

Osmanthus listened and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, everyone said that the sun came out in the west!"

Man Qing also thought it was funny, and told him about what happened a few days ago. After speaking, Aunt Gui's eyes widened, and Osmanthus looked Man Qing up and down a few times, "It's okay, you little girl, only you can say such ruthless words to Gao Lao!"

After all, Aunt Gui was an elder, and she choked for a while before she said in a roundabout way: "This-he is your father after all-"

Osmanthus snatched the words: "For the sake of the old disrespect, do you still want the younger generation to be filial? I bah! Manqing, you did the right thing! -- Look, you are so tough, don't the old men obediently wash the bedding? This shows that your method is right!"

Man Qing looked at the osmanthus with a small chin like a little rooster who had won a fight, and nodded with a smile.

Well, she also felt that she had done the right thing. Gao Lao picks, maybe the transformation can be expected.
