When Man Qing went home, she called Aunt Gui over by the way to help slaughter chickens and ducks. Aunt Gui www.biquge.info moved neatly, let Man Qing prepare the bowl with some vinegar, and with a few efforts, the chickens and ducks went up to the west and were crooked. The next cleaning up work is also a long time, and when Manqing is busy and straightens up, good guy, the sun is going to the west. She pounded her sore waist, and suddenly felt tired and hungry......

It's not easy to celebrate the New Year.

No way, no matter how tired she is, she is tired alone, and no one can help her. She thought that she had to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early today, so Yu found some candy and cushioned it, preparing to eat another meal in the evening.

Sweets are also kept in the cabinet of the small dining room for eating. This room is not big, there is a dining table and a large cupboard with clean sundries, and if you usually eat, you can take out the dishes and chopsticks directly from it. Man Qing didn't dare to eat more, this little candy was reserved for guests to entertain guests in the New Year. When she finished eating and was about to go out, she saw Gao Lao Lian also go out of the room, standing under the porch and looking at this side.

As soon as Man Qing thought about it, he understood that Gao Lao was also hungry, and he also wanted to come out and find something to eat. She had already turned around and wanted to decorate the candy, but then she thought about it, isn't she going to transform Gao Lao, so let's try him again. So she put all the candy back and said loudly to the door: "I won't cook at noon, but I'll get an early meal in the evening." If you're hungry, you can eat some candy—but I'll tell you first, I've only bought a little of it, and I'll keep it for the New Year!"

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve rice Man Qing plans to fry a chicken, then make a green vegetable, and mix three shreds, tomorrow morning, the first meal of the new year, she is going to make a chicken green vegetable noodles...... It is said that the New Year does not go to the ground for three days, so the vegetables eaten by the chickens and ducks eaten by people in the past few days, the shallots and garlic seedlings used for cooking have to be prepared today.

Although the sun is strong, the cold wind is biting. Man Qing quickly made the greens, a lot of them. There were a lot of things to wash, so Manqing simply went to the river to wash.

There are many women by the river, and they are all crowded at this time to wash vegetables and things. Seeing that the vegetables in Manqing's burden were good, everyone praised them again. The garlic seedlings of the sixth aunt's family were pecked by the chickens soon after they were planted, and there were no garlic seedlings this year. Man Qing thought about what Aunt Seven said about her family last time, and pulled out a lot of Aunt Six's to bring it to Aunt Seven......

"You girl, what are you going to eat for yourself?"

Man Qing smiled, "Auntie, you have also seen that there are not many people eating in my family, where can I eat so much? You don't have to be polite to me, you usually take care of me so much, what is this little dish!"

For most of the past six months, as long as the long-tongued women in the village gossip about Manqing, they would always have to smack back when they heard it to the sixth aunt. The same is true for Aunt Qi, although she doesn't talk much, she always smiles when she sees Manqing, and gently encourages her a few words. Man Qing has always thought of the goodness of these two kind aunts. And now Uncle Gao Sixth and Uncle Gao are both working by the river, and Boss Zhang is good to Man Qing, so the sixth and seventh aunts think that Man Qing is pulling the thread, and they also think of her goodness.

"Haha, then I won't be polite to you—— I have dried a lot of dried sweet potatoes this year, and I'll ask Erya to send you some in a while!"

After sending off the sixth aunt, Man Qing looked at her vegetable patch, and couldn't help but have a heartfelt smile on her face. Speaking of the work of these women, she seems to have a lot of experience. How to plow in this vegetable field, when to plant, when to hoe grass...... Even how to make fertilizer, she felt as if she had a book in her heart, and she wrote it page by page. Even if she has never planted a vegetable before, as long as she grows it for a year or so, she can get the hang of it.

Ah, when it comes to manure, it's time to pick the manure pit at home again.

Man Qing frowned, thinking that this old and difficult job really couldn't escape...... But that would have to wait until late in the evening, when there was no one on the road. Don't worry, there are a lot of things, let's come one by one.

It happened that the second girl of the sixth aunt's family came to knock on the door, Manqing went over to take a look, and the little girl of the seventh aunt's family also carried a small basket to follow behind, and when she saw her, the two little girls called out "Sister Manqing" crisply, and then tried hard to hand her the things in the basket. The sixth aunt's house is a bag of dried sweet potatoes, and the seventh aunt's house is a bag of red dates...... Man Qing was full of emotion, and hurriedly welcomed the two little girls in, asked them to sit, and poured water for them......

"No need Sister Manqing, my mother said that we have to go back to work! You hurry up and take out the things, we are going home!" Man Qing knew that it was a big year, and it was not good to keep the little girls, so he grabbed a handful of candy and sent them out of the courtyard.

When the two little figures were far away, Man Qing walked back with a smile. Well, yes, she deliberately looked at it when she grabbed the candy just now, and Gao Lao didn't eat a few pieces, so she still has a little conscience.

The sun was already setting in the west, and in the middle of the afternoon, smoke was faintly rising in the village. This is not an ordinary day, but a Chinese New Year's Eve, how many people are looking forward to a year's reunion day! Manqing couldn't help but think about what she was doing at this time last year, oh, at that time, her mother's health was no longer good, and she was still supporting Gao Lao to make pots, she couldn't see it, so she had to take over most of the work and do it herself......

The mother has been gone for almost a year, and this is the first Chinese New Year's Eve when the mother is not there.

Man Qing rubbed her eyes, ordered herself not to think about it, and then turned around and went into the backyard, ready to bring him the clothes she had made for Gao Lao. She had just walked out of the room with her clothes in her arms when she heard the door knock again. Man Qing estimated that he was from the Gui family, so he didn't put down his clothes, and hurriedly ran over to open the door, "Ah, why are you?"

Outside the door was Zhang Ye, who carried a lot of things, and Gao Siliang, who also carried things behind him. Seeing that Man Qing came to open the door so soon, he immediately opened his big mouth happily and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "How do you know it's me?"

Anyway, they haven't seen each other for almost half a month. Zhang Ye lived a year ago without touching the ground with his heels, and there were countless things every day, and even the rotation of the shaft was simply not enough to describe. Everyone didn't want to delay until the new year, and he did the same, so it wasn't until the afternoon of the thirtieth day that the events of the previous year were summarized. As soon as he was done, he hurriedly grabbed Gao Siliang, who was now his right-hand man, and hurriedly went to the street to buy a bunch of things and go to Gaojia Village at the last moment when the shops were closed.

Other things are important, but getting a wife is even more important. This point is now very clear to Boss Zhang.

Man Qing almost rolled her eyes: Did this person not understand the words? She was obviously surprised just now, how could she have thought that it was him? Although she hadn't seen him for more than half a month, she had been so busy lately that she had no time to worry about him. Besides, it's not like you can't see it after the new year......

Zhang Ye didn't care what the girl's family originally meant, he was happy to himself, and turned his head and ordered Gao Siliang: "You go to Gui's house to give gifts! Say more nice things! Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not available in my family, if the Gui family is kind enough to take you in, eat at Gui's house!" After speaking, he didn't look at Gao Siliang's constipated expression, turned his head and continued to grin at Man Qing, "Man Qing, I'm here to give you a New Year's gift!"

"New Year's gift?" Manqing's eyes widened, looking at the big man who walked directly into the courtyard, "What New Year's gift?"

If you want to say what Zhang Ye's biggest feeling is in the past half a month, it is the lack of a woman in the family. He has a lot to do, but he always has to dress and eat when he is done, so he often looks at the cabinet, oh, he has worn all the clothes and clothes, and at night, he still drags his tired body to the street to find food when he is cold and cooked...... And now he has money, land, and will soon have many houses, brothers, friends, and capable subordinates...... It's as if you have everything, and you're missing a woman.

Therefore, he decided to speed up the progress, thicken his skin, and take back Manqing, a capable girl, to his home as soon as possible.
