Chapter 132 Disappointment
Shubai and Qingyuan carried gifts to the Mo family in the village to pay New Year's greetings, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to eating at home, they usually do not close the door, so that it is convenient for neighbors to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and some old people say that this is to let wealth into the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The brothers entered the courtyard and found that it was very deserted, and they couldn't see any neighbors coming to pay New Year's greetings, and the main house was quiet, and no one came out to greet them, but someone in the second uncle's room was talking in a low voice.
Shubai didn't shout, and led his younger brother straight into the house, there were some snacks and sweets on the table of the Eight Immortals, there were still melon seed shells on the ground that had not been cleaned, and there was a choking smell of smoke in the house.
The door of the east room was open, Shubai looked inside, grandmother Wang was smoking next to the kang table, swallowing smoke and spitting smoke very enjoyable, strange, how could she smoke, no one in the Mo family smoked before, did she learn it when she went back to her parents' house last time to visit relatives?
With such an association, Shubai remembered that he came over that day, but he only saw Liu Niangzi, and smelled a certain smell from Liu Niangzi, Shubai's heart churned, this house is really messy, how old is his grandfather and still entangled with the maid, hurry up and leave after the New Year, and see something unsightly after a while.
"Grandmother, my grandson has come to pay you a New Year's greeting." Shubai led Qingyuan into the back room, brought two pieces of cloth and two packs of snacks and put them on the kang table, and then the brothers knelt down on their knees and kowtowed to Wang three times according to the rules.
"My grandson wishes my grandmother peace and health and all the best." Qingyuan's glutinous voice said auspicious words, and Wang's eyes moved from the gift, and he hummed, but he didn't call them brothers up.
Shubai was worried that his brother's knees were broken, so he took the initiative to pull his younger brother to get up, Wang's face was cold and he wanted to scold, but when he thought of the instructions of the master, he swallowed back this breath again, and her old face turned purple.
"Where's Grandfather?" Shubai asked, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, shouldn't you wait in the house and let the juniors come to kowtow to the New Year?
"In the study." As Wang was talking, Mo Laoxiu came in, followed by Liu Niangzi, and then followed by the second uncle Mo Wenrui.
"Shubai is here, yo, my family Qingyuan is really in good spirits today." Mo Lao Xiucai was in a good mood, his face was full of red light, Shubai waited for him and his second uncle to sit on the kang, and then pulled Qingyuan to kneel down and kowtow.
After getting up, these people still didn't say anything, red envelopes or something, maybe people weren't prepared at all, Shubai didn't want those who didn't, he just wanted to finish and leave quickly.
"This is the one hundred taels that the third uncle brought back to honor your old man, you can take it." Shubai handed out a silver ticket, Wang's eyes immediately lit up and snatched it, the third uncle wrote a letter to his grandfather, so Shubai gave this silver ticket frankly, not afraid of people saying that he was hiding private, the third uncle clearly said in the letter that Shubai would sell things to his adoptive parents for one hundred taels.
The third uncle brought back the things, let Uncle Fu take the pawnshop in the city to die, in exchange for more than three hundred taels, the third uncle said to give the adoptive parents one hundred taels to repay the grace of parenting, and the rest for the Shubai brothers and sisters to do tuition and living expenses.
However, the third uncle didn't tell Lao Xiucai how many things he brought back, so now Wang and Second Uncle Mo are itching and uncomfortable, and they want to ask Shubai in person.
Shubai didn't give this opportunity, the thing was given, he took his leave, he was disappointed when he got out of the courtyard, at this time the second uncle should get the news of Enke, no matter how the academy is, it also has its own news channel, but the second uncle didn't say a word to him, how many does this mean?
Shubai doesn't want to think badly about people, but the reality is so cruel, and this family really has nothing to look forward to.
From the first to the fourth year of junior high school, Li Niang's house has always been very lively, people continue to come to pay New Year's greetings, in the third year of junior high school, Uncle Cheng actually took the whole family to the door, according to his meaning to come out to relax, the countryside is quiet, the scenery is good.
Li Niang wanted to give him a pair of white eyeballs at that time, what kind of scenery, the snow has not melted clean, everywhere is barren, how can there be any scenery at all, but next year will be different, this winter, she will try to plant winter wheat, this time next year, there will be a dazzling green in the field.
Cheng Xiaoyang is definitely a good boy who abides by the rules in front of his parents, and Kleine Niang has seen him chattering, so she thinks that this is a second-year teenager, and the identification is complete, no, just after lunch, Cheng Xiaoyang couldn't wait to pull Shubai to the study, as for whether to ask for teaching or talk about something else, who knows.
In this era, there are no entertainment venues regardless of the New Year's Festival, and the teahouses in the town where you can watch dramas are closed, and you want to find some pastime to go to the city, and the weather is cold, and few people are really willing to go all the way to the capital for a play.
When I arrived in the village, there were not many fun things, and Li Niang accompanied Song and Cheng Xiaozhen to go around outside, just because Cheng Xiaozhen sneezed two times and came back.
Li Niang's house is close to Daqing Mountain, the temperature is slightly lower than other places, Li Niang is also afraid that Cheng Xiaozhen will catch a cold, and when she returned home, she quickly drank a bowl of peach nectar brewed with Lingzhu water, of course, the Song family also has it.
"Hmmm! What kind of honey is this, it tastes great. "The Song family, who is well-off, has a high ability to appreciate it, and he tasted the extraordinary peach nectar at once.
"I don't know what kind of honey it is, but I bought it from a passing beekeeper in the fall, and it felt good to smell the peach blossoms in it." Li Niang smiled and said a little lie, "I call it peach nectar, I still have more than ten catties there, if my aunt likes it, I will bring some back, I heard that women can drink this to stay young." ”
Youth is simply a woman's curse, and she must not let go of it after hearing it, so Song responded cheekily, "Okay, this taste is really irrefutable, but the aunt is disrespectful." ”
"You're welcome, auntie, if you feel good after drinking, ask someone to send a letter, and next time I see the beekeeper, I'll buy it from him." Li Niang ran to the warehouse with a smile, and came back with a ceramic jar after a while.
She filled five catties of peach nectar diluted thirty times to the Song family, which was the safe multiple that Ji Yuan had said, and she put twenty catties of such diluted honey in the warehouse to cover for the real peach nectar.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the pickle workshop started, still employing ten female workers to pickle a large number of dried radish, and the production of sauerkraut could not be expanded for the time being because of the restrictions of the jar.
The pickle workshop is just an expedient measure to be placed in the farm, Li Niang told her brother that she wanted to buy the land of Li Changhe on the right to build a workshop, Shubai was a little hesitant, he wanted to move into the city to live, the field is good to say, you can let the tenant farmers take care of it, and then get a workshop, who will take care of it?
Li Niang said: "It's simple, the end of Xiaowan Village should be our Zhuangzi, let Uncle Fu be the head of the village, specialize in managing the crops, and also manage the pickle workshop, and I will give him a monthly example." (To be continued.) )
