"Is it too much? But this Chinese New Year, your third uncle and they know that our family has such things, if you don't send them, your grandma doesn't know what to say. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhang frowned and sighed heavily.

After living under Cui's hands for so many years, Zhang's can be said to know Cui's temperament well.

"Mother, it's not that you don't know that person, grandma, you have to let her not say unpleasant things, unless we send her all the things at home. Didn't we be obedient enough to her before? She let us go west, we never go east, she let go south, we never go north, but the result? She is not a nose or a nose to our mother and daughter, and her eyes are not eyes. When Uncle and they wanted to sell me out of conscience, I was afraid that no one would disagree with me except for Ah Gong. In the eyes of everyone in the upper room, we might as well use one or two pieces of silver! We just need to be polite and thoughtful, and don't let others find faults, and there is no need to please anyone. If we really send all these things over, maybe something will cause trouble. Xu Xiangwan showed affection to Zhang's Xiaozhi and moved him with reason.

After being reminded by Xu Xiangwan, Zhang remembered the days before the separation, his eyes were red, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Wulang knocked on Xu Xiangwan's little brain melon seeds, and said helplessly: "You girl, you really can't open any pot." What are you doing with this big New Year? ”

Gorou didn't really blame Xu Xiangwan, he just saw that Zhang was in a bad mood and deliberately said so.

Sure enough, when Zhang heard Wulang accusing Xu Xiangwan, he immediately cheered up, protected Xu Xiangwan in his arms, and said lightly: "Wulang, don't blame Wan'er, Wan'er is telling the truth." It's all my lard that blinds my heart, people don't treat our family as a person, why do we still use a hot face to stick to someone's cold butt? ”

Seeing that Zhang's expression eased, Gorou withdrew his hand, withdrew his hand under Xu Xiangwan's disdainful gaze, and carried it behind him as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Zhang's was diverted from the topic by Wulang's words, Xu Xiangwan rolled his eyes resentfully, and secretly said in his heart that Wulang is really getting better and better at playing tricks, just play it, why do you have to knock someone's head?

In the end, the family decided to lose 20 eggs, a piece of mutton, half a catty of sugar in the New Year's gift prepared by the Zhang family, and also replaced the two pieces of silk cloth with a large piece of cotton cloth.

In addition to the New Year's gift for the upper room, Zhang's also specially prepared the same New Year's gift for Li Zheng and Xu Wenfu's family, and added a piece of mutton and a piece of silk cloth to Aunt Chen's New Year's gift.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, Xiao Jiu and Xu Qiuyi brought two New Year's gifts to Li Zheng and Xu Wenfu's family, and Wulang went to the east of the village with Xu Xiangwan. Along the way, Wulang carried two New Year's gifts, and handed one to Xu Xiangwan when he was about to reach the east end of the village, and then the brother and sister went to Shangfang and Chen's house respectively.

When Mrs. Chen's family saw Xu Xiangwan coming, they all greeted her warmly, and brought a bowl of steaming mash sweet soup from the kitchen.

"Auntie, don't be busy, it's getting dark, I'll wait for my brother to give my grandparents and grandma New Year's gifts and I'll go back as soon as possible." Xu Xiangwan hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"On such a cold day, drink some sweet soup to warm your body. What are you polite to Aunt Chen? You have to be polite to me, I can't accept your New Year's gifts. Aunt Chen deliberately made a tiger face and said unhappily.

Seeing that Aunt Chen sincerely invited herself to drink sweet soup, Xu Xiangwan's heart warmed, and a sweet smile appeared on her face: "I can't be polite to Aunt Chen!" In the hearts of our family, you are almost the same as our relatives, or even closer than our relatives. Haven't I been able to drink this sweet soup? ”

After speaking, Xu Xiangwan really took the magnetic bowl handed by Aunt Chen and drank most of the bowl in one go.

Aunt Chen showed a knowing smile at this time, and said happily: "You girl has a sweet mouth." It's getting colder and colder every day, and drinking a bowl of sweet soup is just right to relieve the cold. The body is warm, do you want another bowl? ”

"Enough is enough, I'm so small, this bowl will prop up my stomach, and if I drink another bowl, won't I break my stomach?" Xu Xiangwan laughed when she was asked by Aunt Chen.

"Bah, bah, children's words are unscrupulous, children's words are unscrupulous! This kid, what is the nonsense of the New Year, look at the fight. Aunt Chen said and reached out and pinched Xu Xiangwan's little face, "Wan'er is becoming more and more watery, and it hurts to look at it." ”

Xu Xiangwan chatted with Aunt Chen for a while, and then saw Chen Shilang waving his hands and feet, and ran in happily: "Mother, Sister Wan'er has sent a lot of delicious food to our family." Can we eat meat at night? ”

Hearing this, Aunt Chen glared at Chen Shilang, and said angrily: "I want to eat all day long, why did I deduct your rice and grain?" ”

Chen Shilang pouted: "Sister Wan'er sent a lot of meat, and it's nothing to eat a little." ”

Hearing Chen Shilang say this, Aunt Chen was surprised, she thought that Xu Xiangwan's New Year's gift to his family was just some eggs, vegetables and the like, but listening to Chen Shilang's meaning, Xu Xiangwan sent meat to their family, and there was a lot?

Aunt Chen is a straight person, there are not so many twists and turns, and she has doubts in her heart, so she naturally asked in front of Xu Xiangwan: "Wan'er, did you send meat to our family?" ”

"I didn't give much, it just meant it." Xu Xiangwan replied simply, and then changed the topic, "Why didn't you see Sister Jiaying?" ”

At the mention of Chen Jiaying, Aunt Chen's expression immediately became complicated, both happy and worried: "Isn't your sister Ying older?" Her grandmother and aunts want to take her over and get closer to her, and if she gets married in the future, won't she have a chance? ”

"Where is Sister Jiaying getting older? Aren't you only thirteen years old, why are you going to get married? In Xu Xiangwan's opinion, Chen Jiaying is only a few years older than Xu Qiuyi, that is, a big child, and he is still early to get married.

Aunt Chen glanced at Xu Xiangwan and said helplessly: "Your sister Ying will be fourteen years old after the New Year, can you say goodbye?" Forget it, what do you know about this little child. ”

The women of the Great Zhou Dynasty can get married as long as they are fifteen years old, and those who start to say marriage at the age of twelve or thirteen abound, and some even start to say marriage when the child is ten years old.

Xu Xiangwan suddenly felt a moment of confusion in his heart, he would be eleven years old after the New Year, and Xu Qiuyi was also nine years old, is it almost the age to say goodbye?

If Gorou and Xu Qiuyi are married, what should she do?

Aunt Chen was a rough heart, and she didn't notice that Xu Xiangwan's expression changed, but she just chattered vigorously, and she didn't stop until Gorou came from the upper room with a blue face.

Seeing Wulang coming, Aunt Chen asked for a bowl of sweet soup again, but was politely rejected by Wulang on the grounds that she was going home for dinner.

Aunt Chen left Wulang and Xu Xiangwan for dinner, but she didn't resist Wulang and Xu Xiangwan, seeing that it was dark, she had to ask Uncle Chen to send them back.

The brother and sister had their own thoughts, and they didn't talk much along the way, but Uncle Chen asked and they answered, both of them were a little absent-minded. (To be continued.) )
