Chapter 226: Spring Festival (1)
The Spring Festival is approaching, and every household has begun to prepare for the New Year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Grinding tofu, smoked bacon, beating glutinous cakes, stir-fried melon seeds and peanuts, fried snacks, all prepared.
And Li Xi hasn't eaten at home for a week.
The reason is that every family kills pigs, so everyone invites them to eat, Li Xi eats a circle, and when she gets home, her mother laughs and says that she has grown taller.
On this day, the sky was clear, and my mother and my mother went to the stream to wash the quilt together to get bad luck.
"After two days of cleaning the house, just go where to get bamboo leaves to sweep." Mom was talking to the girl as she walked.
Xi Niang thought for a while, "The current bamboo leaves are not good, in fact, I don't pay much attention to this, just sweep it clean, you mainly use mugwort leaves to boil water, take a bath for pity, take a good omen, and don't be sick and sick in the coming year." ”
"Yes, but speaking of which, it's a pity that I haven't been sick again in the second half of the year, I don't know if it's better, but I still have to find a chance to go to a big hospital."
"Yes, you can't be sloppy, you must go and see it if you have the chance."
The fine lady also nodded and said, holding two buckets of clothes, my mother helped to take over a bucket, although my mother has not worked harder than in the past few years when she first got married, but her body is still slender and small, and it is a little difficult to carry two buckets, but she is used to doing rough work, and her hands are a little strong.
"You mention it for a while, and then you will mention it to me for a while, how can you mention it!" Xi Niang is a little embarrassed, although she is an elder, but it is not good to rely on the old and sell the old!
"In a few days, the woman didn't have someone to come, I thought I had to clean up the house, although it is not a western-style house, but it is clean and always looks good!"
Xi Niang thought that when the woman's parents came to 'review', if she was not satisfied, what would Yuanyuan do!
"You and Brother Xi are good people in the village, the girl is blessed to marry, hardworking and willing to work, and they are still young, they are still dry, the tung oil at home is polished, this is not satisfied, the girl's vision is too high, then what kind of blind date are you looking for us rural people!"
Mom said the truth, "Sister-in-law, don't worry." ”
"Well, who knows what people think!" Mother's big truth obviously didn't comfort Xi Niang, who was still a little worried.
"That's right." Mom didn't say anything pretty, so she had to follow the words of the little girl.
In the end, she still didn't let Xi Niang carry the bucket, and put it down until she reached the stream in one breath.

……………………………
Li Xi sat next to the charcoal fire with a big bone and gnawed happily, and the cousin sat straight on the bed and sighed.
Li Xi shuddered the essence of the bones, and felt that the eldest mother had boiled up for so long and the bones had entered her stomach like this, which was very unrighteous, so when the cousin sighed for the hundredth time, she still opened her mouth to persuade: "If you sigh again, the eldest lady will come in and beat people, and the sigh of the New Year is unlucky!" ”
"Alas, pity, you say, why should people get married?" Cousin Qi asked very seriously, I guess I really couldn't think of it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Li Xi this question.
After all, no matter how smart Li Xi is, she is also a novice.
However, in the face of the question of his cousin, Li Xi still thought about it very seriously, "Isn't there a saying called starting a family?" Start a family first and then start a business, you don't want to start a family because you haven't met the person who wants you to start a family, and when you meet you, you will want to. ”
As soon as the words came out, Li Xi regretted it, probably because his cousin's body has gradually improved in the past few days, and his mood is no longer as sullen as he was at the beginning.
Li Xi opened his mouth and was about to explain, but who knows, Cousin Xi actually nodded in agreement, with a look of agreement, "Yes, it's a pity that you are right, start a family first and then start a business, if you can meet a girl who can want you to start a family, it would be great." ”
After speaking, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly covered his mouth, and his face turned red, "Ouch, ouch, I'm really crazy, how can I tell you this, I'm really sick and confused." ”
Li Xi seemed to be smiling, staring into his eyes, "Brother Li, have you wanted to go out for a walk recently, the sun is out today, why don't I push you out for a walk?" ”
Cousin shook his head and looked at the bright red peony on the quilt, "No need, I'll just go to the yard and sit down, although the sun is out, it's still cold, I don't want to go out, and my mother won't let me go far." ”
Li Xi lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "Okay, then I won't force you, I'll go and play with Pepe later, Pepe said that there is a rabbit on the mountain over there, and said let's catch it!" ”
Cousin Lun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Who raised this and ran out, this winter is estimated to have run far away, and the rabbit is running fast, where can I wait for a few of you little arms and legs to catch it?" ”
"Don't go, it's cold in winter, looking at the big sun, it's cold after a while, so as not to catch a cold, it's not easy to get better."
Li Xi picked up the bones again and continued to gnaw, "If only you were better soon, cousin, how much less have I eaten in the past few days of your illness, the fruits on the mountain and the melons and fruits in the field are probably ripe, and my grandmother and I are hungry." ”
"You're still greedy, tell me, how many things my mother cooked for me, you didn't eat it, you see that you have grown taller during the summer vacation, and you still say you haven't eaten, little liar!"
Li Xi snorted and didn't say anything more.

Towards the end of the year, the flavor of the year is getting stronger.
Every household has already pasted the Spring Festival couplets, hung red lanterns, many children have bought fireworks to put off, and in front of the house on the side of the road, a crackling sound ignited the excitement.
Everyone got together to grind tofu, wash clothes together, go to the street to buy New Year's goods together, discuss which candy is cheap and delicious, and discuss what clothes to buy for their elders and children.
Li Xi continued to grow fat at home.
"Pity, what gift do you want for the New Year?" Chengyu asked her.
Li Xi chewed half of the pear in his hand and handed it to him, as natural as handing the uneaten to his mother on weekdays, "I want to ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, and when he squinted his eyes, he secretly saw that Duan Chengyu had already gnawed the pear naturally, and Li Xi's face turned red.
Duan Chengyu took another big bite, juicy and sweet, "What do you want?" ”
"I think, I can't think of it, why do you even want to ask what you want to send me, you can't think about it yourself?"
Li Xi simply stomped his feet and turned around, letting the cold wind blow away the heat on his face.
"I'm not afraid you won't like it, I haven't seen you wear that pair of gloves I gave you last year?"
"I don't like to wear gloves."
"And what about the hat I bought you the year before?"
"Hats will crush your hair."
"What about the cotton shoes I bought you the year before?"
"You can't wear it when it's snowing or raining, it's inconvenient."
“…… So what do you like? ”
"Why are you asking me?"
"......" (To be continued.) )
