Chapter 40: New Year's Eve
After the New Year's dinner, the women have to be busy in addition to the kitchen, and there are still shoes to be made, and the next day the whole family has to wear new clothes and shoes.
There are even more things about Erya, Xiaolong's rabbit fur coat and rabbit fur shoes have been made early in the morning. It's just that Anzi's rabbit fur coat and collar are not sewn, and the upper of the rabbit fur shoes has been done, so it will work for the second aunt to help get on the soles!
The key is that Hongguo's rabbit skin shoes have not even been made yet, but I don't know if it can be done overnight, if I can't wear the long-awaited rabbit fur boots tomorrow, Hongguo will definitely cry his nose.
Erya also called the second aunt: "Auntie, you come with me and help me." I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it alone, and I'll delay things. β
The second aunt agreed: "Okay!" I'm afraid I won't be able to help! As he spoke, he called Momiji: "Yezi, you put on two pairs of shoes at home." If you don't know how to get on the wooden soles, ask your aunt. β
"Got it! Go get busy! The leaves that were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks replied in a vague tone with his head down.
The eldest aunt looked at Ye Zi, who was moving slowly and couldn't speak clearly, and asked, "Ye Zi, what's wrong with you?" β
Ye Zi raised his flushed face and smiled silly, "I don't know, I just feel like I'm floating." β
Laizi clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha! My sister is drunk! Hahaha! My sister is drunk. β
The second aunt looked at the red leaves with a smile and a smile, "This girl, why don't you know, you can't get any wine?" Let's go back and lie down! β
Momiji shook his head, "I'm fine, I can still do things!" β
The eldest aunt hurriedly took the bowl away, and said with a smile: "Yezi, you better be obedient and lie down for a while, the dishes in our house are just enough." I don't dare to leave it to you to wash! β
"Sister, you really can't drink!? I've drunk more than you, and I'm not even drunk. Anko shows off her alcohol consumption in front of Momiji.
Xiaolong also joined in the fun: "Sister! Sister! Are you drunk? β
"Sister! Sister! I sue you! Your face is so red, so red! β
Laizi grabbed Momiji, stretched out five fingers, and showed Momiji: "Sister, how much is this?" β
Daman shouted: "It's three!" β
Dahong shouted: "No, it's two!" β
Xiangzi called: "Sister, they are bad, ignore them." That's five! β
Momiji was teased by them one by one, and was a little annoyed.
"I'm really not drunk! I'm still awake! If you don't believe me, I'll drink it for you. β
At this time, even Erya couldn't help laughing.
Uncle hurriedly played a round: "Okay, okay!" Ye Zi is not drunk, don't tease her, go and get busy when you should be busy! β
When it was time to keep vigil at night, Anzi's fur coat had already been put on with the collar. The second aunt also put on Anzi's rabbit skin boots, and only Hongguo's rabbit skin boots remained.
Erya took the uppers and soles of the shoes to be made to the uncle's house, planning to make shoes while keeping vigil.
Xiaolong and Anzi's coats, Erya made them simple, the kind that children often wear, and they didn't even make hats.
With such a simple style, the two children were reluctant to take it off when they wore it. The second aunt patted Anzi's buttocks: "You kid, this is the new clothes you will wear tomorrow, hurry up, take them off for me." β
Erya laughed: "Second aunt, let him wear it!" Isn't there a difference of a few hours between today and tomorrow? β
The eldest aunt smiled and explained to Erya: "Wearing new clothes in the New Year, this is a good eloquence!" β
When the eldest aunt saw the red leaves standing aside, smiling and watching her younger brother hide in Tibet and not let her mother take off his fur coat, she remembered the rabbit fur wedding dress that Er Ya made for the red leaves.
"That's right, brother and sister! The fur coat that my niece and daughter-in-law helped Ye Zi make, did you take it out and try it on Ye Zi? β
Ye Zi turned his head suddenly, looking at the eldest aunt with a surprised and surprised expression, for fear that the eldest aunt was joking. Looking at the eldest aunt didn't look like a joke, so she looked at her mother with bright eyes.
The second aunt rolled her eyes and rolled her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law! You really, didn't you tell sΓΉ not to say it? β
The eldest aunt patted her cheeks in annoyance, "Ouch! Oops! Look at my memory! How did I forget! β
The second uncle was peeling peanuts with the boss to eat, and when he saw them laughing, he also added: "the child, go ahead!" Bring that coat over and give it to the leaves. The niece and daughter-in-law are very well dressed, let the leaves also wear them for us to see, it is rare to have such a good dowry, don't we don't know what it looks like in the end! β
Uncle also nodded with a smile. "Yes, yes! The second brother is right! β
The second aunt moved all the dowries to Erya's house, so if you really want to take it, you have to go back.
Putting on a fur coat, perhaps excited or shy, Momiji's face was redder than when he was drunk at noon.
The second uncle gave a very pertinent evaluation: "Hmm! The leaves also look good in dressing, no worse than the niece and daughter-in-law! β
"I used to think that the gray color must be ugly, but today I realized that this color is actually very atmospheric." The eldest aunt only felt that her aesthetics had been subverted, and she had always thought that only being popular could make people feel "rich" and "expensive". But today, this gray and lush color makes it red and purple, and it looks petty.
The second aunt shook her head with some regret, and said secretly in her heart: "My family's leaves look better than my nephew's daughter-in-law, why don't I dress as stylishly as my nephew's daughter-in-law?" β
Seeing the second aunt shaking her head, the second girl thought that the color was not suitable for dowry. explained: "Second aunt, this can also be added to a coat, but I can't be busy, and I haven't had time to do it yet." In a few days, I'll make another red coat and put it in the dowry. β
"Good! That's going to be hard for you again. The second aunt looked at the red leaves that were wearing a wool coat and showed this one to that, and said: "I'm afraid that on the day she gets married, the sky will become warmer, and I'm afraid that I will be laughed at when I wear a wool coat." β
The eldest aunt thought about it: "It should still be very cold in February." β
It has always been difficult for Erya to understand what time they mean by spring.
"Second aunt, what day is Yezi's day?"
"Yikes! I haven't sued you yet! It's the sixth day of February! Oops, I didn't even think to tell you! "The second aunt blames herself.
Erya said embarrassedly: "No, it's the spring you said, I don't understand!" Does it mean the whole spring, or does it refer to the first month of the month? β
The second aunt smiled: "Isn't the spring in our family all said that the spring is in the spring!" Why don't you understand? β
Momiji happened to turn to their side, and when he heard the conversation between his cousin and daughter-in-law and his mother, he quietly took off his coat, handed it to her mother, and said with a little shyness: "Mother, you help me put it away!" I'm going to wear it that day! β
The eldest aunt quipped: "Leaves, if you are reluctant to take them off, you can wear them!" Maybe it's getting warmer in February, and you won't be able to wear it. β
Momiji blushed, "Then I'll wear it too!" β
The second aunt smiled and stretched out her hand to pat the red leaves: "Don't be ashamed!" β
Erya also teased her, "What day are you talking about?" β
Momiji didn't expect his brother-in-law to joke with him, so he accidentally added shyness, and he got stuck all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt looked at the stupid appearance of the red leaves, and they couldn't stand up with a smile.
They were happy and lively here, but the uncle and the second uncle were anxiously scratching their ears and cheeks. Uncle touched Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, go and tell your daughter-in-law about the good news!" β
Xiaohu asked the little dragon who was about to fall asleep to call again, and the little dragon ran over and tugged on Erya's sleeve: "Sister-in-law! Come on! Brother called you! β
Erya saw everyone looking at herself in unison, and then remembered to talk about silver.
"Uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, let's go to the second uncle's house and talk!"
Daman lowered his head in frustration and called out: "We have to listen too!" β
"You can listen to it, and you can take ideas, but can you do it without saying a word to the public?" Er Ya asked very strictly.
A silver ticket of a few hundred taels is impossible not to be tempting. If outsiders find out, then their family will be in trouble.
The most envious thing is not the thousands of money you get for your best efforts, but the consistent money you pick up without much effort.
Others are jealous not only of the wealth you get, but also of why you have such good luck, but I don't?! This is also the reason why the more acquaintances you are, the easier it is to be malicious.
The uncle looked at his son and nephews with eager expressions, thinking that the children were old and could already learn to be in charge of the house. lest you be like yourself, who are in their forties, and don't know how to be a housekeeper.
"Laizi is still young, follow Sister Yezi to take her younger brothers and sisters to keep vigil, Manzi, Xiaohu, Dahong, and Xiangzi all come together."
"Whew!" Jump up with excitement!
Laizi shouted, "I'll be thirteen years old tomorrow, and I can say kiss, why are I still young?" β
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Come on! If you want to say kiss, you have to wipe the milky smell off your mouth. "Daman finally seized the opportunity to take revenge.
The second uncle smiled and pulled the eldest brother: "Children, if they are not sensible, they will follow the adults to learn their tongues!" Ignore him, let's go! β
