Chapter 64: Rejoicing in the New Year
Chapter 64
When they got home, Gui Fang had already prepared lunch, and Xin Ran and the others went to rest after eating. Don't ask her why she is so idle, the main thing is that the work at home has been done by Gui Fang, Pomegranate and her mother, and she has nothing to do when she comes back.
Xin Ran took Xin Guo to take a nap for a while, there was no kang in her house, so she could only buy charcoal and come back to burn it in winter, unlike Mama Fang's house, just burn firewood, it was very warm.
"Mama, I have mended your clothes for you, and they are already at the head of your bed." In the women's room in the backyard, Gui Fang said to the other grandmother.
"Thank you, it's so good to make it up, I can't tell it's made up at all." Mama Fang shook off her clothes to see, the stitches were fine, embroidered with a blue flower, and there were no traces of scratching at all.
"Hehe, what's this. In the future, if you have anything to make up, give it to me, and I will make it up to you when I have time. "She still learned her craft from her mother, and she has grown somewhat over the years.
"Hehe, Sister Gui Fang, do you want to make up for me?" Pomegranate said with a grin, her craftsmanship is not visible.
"You obediently learn something for me, make up for yourself, don't make up for it well, see if you don't blush." Before Gui Fang could speak, Mama Fang said with a straight face. "This is a lifelong thing, who will make it up to you when you get married in the future?"
"Mama, good mama, I know. I'm just talking about it. Pomegranate hurriedly begged for mercy. A sad brow on the chubby face.
"Eat less in the future, look at your figure, it's really a round pomegranate." Mama Fang was very puzzled, obviously it was a bean sprout when she first came, but now why is it mellow here, the food is the same, why haven't others gained weight.
Pomegranate stuck out her tongue, there is no way, she just can't control it, the girl said that she can't leave leftovers, she just eats it every time, she is saving!! And say that about her...
A few people in the house were chattering, and Aunt Xin went to Xia Wanru's house, and asked her to come to the house at night to spend the New Year together, how good it would be for everyone to be lively and lively together.
When she arrived at Xia Wanru's house, Aunt Xin saw a strange young girl here, and she had never seen it. "Sister Ru, what is this?"
"You don't know it yet, this is Lotus, the daughter of Li Dazhu in the village, who has just come back." Xia Wanru introduced her.
Lianhua looked at Aunt Xin, what is this old woman, she doesn't know, hey, it's not asking for food, "Auntie, then I'll go first, and I'll come to see you another day." ”
"Alas, don't go, take the things back, my aunt doesn't want you, take it back to your father." Xia Wanru picked up the basket on the table and stuffed it into Li Lianhua's hand and sent her out the door.
"Hmph, don't want it, who sucks you." Li Lianhua looked at the closed door and pursed her lips. If she hadn't come to ask Brother Zhao about it, she wouldn't have come.
"Sister Ru, what's going on?" has been here for so long, why didn't she know that Li Dazhu had a daughter, and how old she was.
Xia Wanru doesn't have a good impression of this girl, have you ever seen a woman who is in a hurry to be a maid? Oh, that's what it was.
When she first came here, this girl was still in her teens, pestering her family Cheng'er all day long, with no face and no skin. was scolded by Cheng'er a few times, and then there were fewer comes.
Later, I don't know who I listened to, I had to go to a big family to be a maid, her father didn't let her be locked up at home, and secretly escaped in the middle of the night, making her girly half dead, and it didn't take long to go, and then his father married another one, never mentioning this daughter, but I didn't expect her to come back now.
"She came today to ask me about Cheng'er's news. She left two years earlier than Cheng'er. "I haven't come back for so many years, maybe something will happen when I come back this time, but it's better to be far away.
"She's ......" Aunt Xin didn't finish speaking, Xia Wanru knew. She nodded, and shook her head. "It's impossible, don't say Cheng'er, even I won't agree."
There are many rights and wrongs in the mansion, and it is either too stupid or too shrewd to come back alive. None of them fit into their home.
Xia Wanru closed the courtyard door and went back with Aunt Xin.
Tonight's meal was more hearty, the bone broth was stewed in the morning, and preparations began early in the afternoon. Xin Ran took out the wine he bought today, which was a peach blossom brew specially made for women, slightly sweet and not intoxicating.
She filled everyone with a glass and stood up. "Today is also the New Year, it's been so long and hard for everyone, come, let's raise a glass."
"Mother, thank you for always being here to tolerate me, and support me in everything I do. I'll have a drink with you. I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. After drinking this cup, she poured another glass, "Auntie, I respect you, thank you for always helping me and taking care of me, I wish you good health and a long life." ”
"Guo'er, my sister also toasts you, I wish you happiness and happiness."
"And you, although you have sold yourself here, I have always regarded you as relatives, come, have a drink."
Xin Ran is really happy, this is the first time she has celebrated the New Year with her relatives.
"Hehe, everyone eats vegetables and eats vegetables, and you won't be fined for getting drunk tonight."
She is not drunk, let alone drinking to kill her sorrows, but happy, lucky, and lucky.
It's good to have you!
She doesn't drink a thousand glasses and is not drunk, at least one jar will not be drunk.
took out the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago, Xin Ran handed it to Xia Wanru, "Auntie, this is my big red envelope for you, haha, are you happy?" ”
"I'm happy, why am I not happy, my aunt takes it." She happily took it, no matter how much, she was happy.
After eating, sitting in the living room and chatting, the warm, fragrant charcoal wood was burning, and Xin Guo fell asleep on her sister's lap. The volume of the crowd unconsciously lowered.
"Shi Lan, Xiao Ran, I'll go back first, it's getting late." It was already dark outside, and the children were asleep.
"Okay, come back another day, Mama, you and Pomegranate will send it." Aunt Xin instructed Mama Fang.
"Yes, ma'am."
Xin Ran woke up in the morning, and the kitchen was already busy, and the glutinous rice balls and tofu were fried!
The freshly boiled glutinous rice is mixed with garlic, ginger and chili peppers, then kneaded into balls, rolled with flour and then fried in oil, and fished out when it is golden and golden, it tastes great.
"Mama, how did you learn your craft, it's amazing." Xin Ran said while eating, crispy and fragrant, delicious.
"Eun, it's delicious." Guo'er took her small bowl and nodded on the side, it was so fragrant.
Squeak, squeak, little dye, I'm going to eat it too! Squeak squeak!
"Don't worry, don't worry, eat cold again." She took a few balls and put them on a grape-specific plate.
Anyway, the grapes have been here for a while, and I just wanted to stay for a few days and go back, but there were too many delicacies and too many temptations, so I was reluctant to leave, and it has been delayed until now.
In the past few days, her family has been working hard to make food, as long as you can think of it, you can make it and share it with everyone.
