Chapter 117: A New Chapter After V
It's easy to get by, and it's the end of the year in the blink of an eye. "Words * Love * First * Hair [Latest Chapter Reading Baoly]
On the thirtieth day, the Xia family and his family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together in the old house in the countryside, and the family was also lively. When I arrived, I watched the farmer's house set off the cannon and dance the dragon, which was also fresh, but it was a scene that could not be seen in the city.
Xia Chunchao has not yet come out of the confinement period, so he can't come out, so he only teases his daughter in the house for fun.
Zhu'er came in with a bowl of crucian carp in milk soup, and said in her mouth: "It's thirty today, so it's not lively outside." Listen to the sound of firecrackers, but unfortunately we can't go out and have a look. ”
Xia Chunchao covered his daughter's ears and said, "This is too loud, I'm afraid I'll bluff the child." After a pause, he said, "Have you closed the window drawer tightly?" ”
Bao'er hurriedly walked to take a look, came back and said, "It's tight, and the seams are blocked with tampons." ”
Xia Chun let go of this side, took the fish soup, took two bites, and said: "Ming'er is the first day of junior high school, although there are no relatives moving around, but I see that the confinement is coming, and the full moon of the child is also coming, so I have to prepare." ”
Zhu'er smiled: "It's just a few children's clothes, which have already been prepared, what else do you need to prepare?" has the master in charge, and the girl doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Xia Chunchao looked at his daughter on the bed, Yi Yi whined, his heart was full of tenderness, and he smiled: "In the end, I have been raising it in my belly for ten months, and I can't wait to take care of everything for her personally." You haven't had children, so you don't know. When I have my own child in the future, I will understand. ”
Zhu'er and Bao'er are both unmarried daughters, and they are inevitably a little embarrassed when they hear this.
Zhu'er only grinned and didn't answer. Bao'er blushed and said, "Changchun went back to the city for the New Year, I don't know when we will come back." ”
Zhu'er said: "She said that she would come back after fifteen, and the family was busy, so she hid and was idle." ”
Xia Chunchao finished drinking the fish soup, handed the bowl to Bao'er, and said: "She has been out all year round, so it's easy to go home for the New Year, so let her reunite with her family for a few more days." ”
Zhu'er said: "That's it, it's just that her sister-in-law's mouth is too broken, and she likes to take advantage of small advantages." A few years ago, I said that I came to see Changchun, brought the walnuts and dates, and took a big bun of things before leaving. ”
Xia Chunchao coaxed her daughter to sleep and said softly: "Her sister-in-law is a good person, but the family is difficult, and it is inevitable to have these little problems." As he spoke, he asked, "Do you have a list of visitors on the day of the full moon?" I'll take a look. ”
Zhu'er smiled and said, "The girl is confused, she should be in the Lu family." Our family banquet guests, where is the list! But friends and relatives invite them all over the place, and they just come if they want to come. On that day, a few tables of flowing water were set up in the courtyard of the venue, and he was allowed to come. ”
Xia Chunchao paused slightly, and then smiled: "Yes, I forgot." ”
When Zhu'er saw her appearance, she knew that it touched the girl's thoughts in the past, so she hurriedly diverted the words and said with a smile: "On that day, the girl will dress up and come out to have a good time." ”
When Xia Chunchao heard this, he felt ridiculous in his heart, and said, "Who are you dressing up for?" It's boring! "Zhu'er had nothing to say, so she had to stop.
The next day is the first day of the new year, the tenant farmers of the Xia family have come to pay New Year's greetings, and the guests come and go in an endless stream, until the time of the lamp is not clean.
On the second day of the new year, it was the day when the woman returned to the door.
Xia Chunchao's sister-in-law, Wang Diu'er, was dressed up brightly, put up a few gifts, and took a car with her husband Xia Gongyan to her mother's house in the city.
There are only three fathers and sons left in the family, and Miss Yuqing in the swaddling clothes.
Xia Yuanwai sat alone and was bored, looking at the sky and seeing that there was nothing to do, thinking that his daughter's confinement was about to be full, and there were not so many taboos in the countryside, so he went to his daughter's room to visit his grandson.
Xia Chunchao was wearing homely clothes, sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding the child for fun.
Seeing her father coming, she hurriedly got up and gave up her seat, and asked the girl to pour tea.
Xia Yuanwai waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can sit down." It's all a family, so why bother talking about these false courtesies! As he spoke, he complained: "Before the confinement is out, you have gone to the ground, and you don't care for your own body." ”
Xia Chunchao smiled: "Where is it so squeamish, these days I am lying in bed with itchy bones." What's more, the windows are closed tightly, and the kang is hot and hot, so it is not in the way. ”
Xia Yuanwai saw that it was also the truth, so he didn't say anything more, hugged his grandson, and teased him for a while. The child is also strange, he doesn't cry when he is held, but he will look at his grandfather and smile, wrapped in red cotton cloth, his skin is as white as snow, and his eyes are as clear as water.
Xia Yuan looked happy outside, coaxing the child, and said to his daughter: "This child has a future, and he is not afraid of life at all." This small appearance is really exactly the same as when you were a child, and when you grow up in the future, you will be a beauty again. ”
Xia Chunchao also smiled: "Dad is laughing again, when was it when I was a child, do you still remember it." What can such an older child see? I don't expect her to be beautiful or not, it is a blessing to be able to be peaceful for the rest of her life. ”
While the father and daughter were talking, Bao'er lifted the curtain of the cotton door and said, "The third young master is here." ”
Before the words fell, Xia Gongxing was wearing a royal blue brocade robe and strode into the house, and the two of them suddenly felt a chill on their faces.
Xia Yuanwai scolded: "I knew that your sister was sitting in confinement, and she didn't take care of it, so she came in like this, and she was not afraid that she would catch a cold!" ”
Xia Chunchao saw that there was a layer of snow falling on his body, and when he entered the house, the heat melted away, and he was dripping water, so he said, "You go to the porch and dust it first." Then he asked, "Is it snowing outside?" ”
Xia Gongxing said: "It's not very big, a few drops of snow have fallen." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly went out, dusted off the snow and water on his body, and came in again.
After seeing his father and sister, Xia Gongxing was about to reach out to hug his niece, but was beaten away by Xia Yuanwai.
Xia Yuan reprimanded: "The cold air of the whole body is not afraid of freezing the child!" Seeing that the person who is about to become an official is still so rough. ”
Xia Gongxing scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, smiled and sat on the ground.
Xia Chunchao asked Wen Yan: "Is it okay to fill the vacancy in the imperial court?" ”
Xia Gongxing said: "Not allowed, it's just that the teacher said that there is such news." Now that it is the middle of the year, the imperial court is also resting, and it will take a fifteenth day to see the news. As he spoke, he smiled again: "I want to study for a few more years, so I will become an official, but I am afraid that it will not be good." If you make up for it in other provinces, you have to go out, and you can't bear your father and sister. As he spoke, he put his hand on the brazier and warmed it.
Xia Chunchao said angrily: "You don't want to be cheap and still say this, how many scholars can't have an official and a half-job when they get white." You can be promoted at this age, and you can fill the vacancy in the imperial court, you are already an ancestor with a spirit! And when he said this, he was not afraid of being struck by lightning. ”
Xia Gongxing also smiled: "What my sister taught me is that if my sister didn't supervise me these days, I wouldn't have broken off today." Looking at the Tan family's cousin's down-and-out appearance now, I was also very shocked. ”
When Xia Yuan heard this, he remembered this incident and said to his daughter: "Yongchu is our relative in the end, and this winter is a big year, so I will leave him alone in that thatched house, just afraid that it will hinder the relationship between relatives." He has enough to suffer, so let him move back in. ”
Xia Chunchao had a cold face and said: "It's okay for him to be tired of his own family, and he has to abduct his third brother to go out to hang out, he is really a bastard!" If he still talks about kinship, he will definitely not be able to do such a thing. If that's the case, why should we treat him as a relative? At the beginning, my aunt said that it was to send him to Beijing to take the exam, so she asked him to live in our house. Now that he has finished the exam, his name is just Sun Shan, isn't he going? Just care about relying on relatives at home, how long will it take for us? ”
Xia Yuanwai saw that his daughter was angry, afraid that she would hurt her body, so he hurriedly said: "Talk well, you are angry again!" But when you say this, when spring blooms and the road thaws, send him to his house. In this big festival, the sky is not good, and it is not close to people to insist on picking people up. ”
Xia Chunchao saw his father spitting, so he gave up.
The father and daughter were talking in the house, but they didn't want anyone outside the door.
Bao'er's cousin Wang Qiuying, taking advantage of the New Year's Festival, came to greet her again and brought some home-made pastries and snacks. Because she was a relative of the people in the girl's room, and she was used to it, the person at the door did not stop her.
She walked all the way to the outside of Xia Chunchao's room, and was about to call the door, when she suddenly heard the sound of talking inside, her heart moved, she didn't say a word, she took a light step, and walked to the windowsill to eavesdrop.
After listening to it for a long time, I only heard Xia Chunchao saying that he was going to drive Tan Yongchu home, and he was taken aback, so he didn't go in the door, and walked out in a panic.
It just so happened that Bao'er came over with a snack from the kitchen, and when she saw a shadow, she shouted twice, and she shouldn't either.
Bao'er walked into the door and asked Zhu'er, "But Qiuying came over, but came in?" ”
Zhu'er was surprised: "I haven't seen her enter the door." ”
Bao'er didn't pay attention to it when she had something to do temporarily.
That Wang Qiuying walked all the way out of the old mansion of the Xia family, regardless of the snow falling in the sky and the muddy and slippery underground, and went straight to the thatched hut where Tan Yongchu lived.
When he was about to knock at the door, he saw that it was hidden, and he pushed it open.
When he entered the door, he saw that the stove in the house was cold and gray, and Tan Yongchu fell on the bed bareheaded, sleeping under the quilt.
Wang Qiuying's anger was very intertwined, he closed the door, threw the basket to the ground, picked up a broom casually, climbed into bed, and beat Tan Yongchu without a head, and scolded in his mouth: "Under the big festival, in broad daylight, a big man doesn't know how to look for a future, so he sleeps at home!" Thanks to your peaceful sleep, where do you still look like a scholar, even the man with the picky feet is better than you! I'm blind, and I'm leaning my finger on you all my life! ”
It turned out that this Wang Qiuying was very scheming, and seeing that Xia Chunchao couldn't look down on her, he moved his mind on the crooked road. Xia Gongyan is a married man, and he has the experience of the golden lock. Xia Gongxing never left his sister day after day, and Xia Chunchao was very strict with precautions. Only this Tan Yongchu is a single person, and he has the idea of his own family.
Wang Qiuying is a scholar, and he can get a reputation in the future, and he can be a wife himself. Even if he can't, he is also a relative of the Xia family, and there is no reason to ignore it. So he put in some water grinding work, and made a private agreement with him for life.
Tan Yongchu was in the middle of the guest, lonely and unbearable, and when he saw her send it to the door, he smiled happily.
Clinker, Wang Qiuying's little abacus played very well, but this Tan Yongchu was a mud that couldn't support the wall. It doesn't matter if the scientific examination fails, and now he has to be driven away by the Xia family. If this person goes, he will leave himself with the upper end and the lower tip. She was frightened and hurriedly came to report the news.
When he entered the house, he saw that he was covered with his head covered, sleeping soundly, and in a fit of anger, he started to fight
