Qiu Meihua's words surprised Xu Ying, Aunt Bao'an has two children in her family, a girl is Xiaojing, twenty this year, and a boy is Xiaoxin, fifteen this year. It's okay, what does my aunt want so much money for? For the sake of money, let her daughter's family affairs fail, isn't this harmful to her daughter?

"Your aunt said that she asked for money to save money for Xiaoxin to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and your uncle is not unable to earn money, and he earns a lot a year, and I don't know what she thinks."

Qiu Meihua couldn't figure it out. She really couldn't do it at that time, otherwise she wouldn't let her daughter marry far away, and she wouldn't ask for any bride price.

"I'm sure I'm not going to care, I'm just saying."

Xu Ying shook her head, this is different for every mother.

In the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, dumplings began to be made at two o'clock in the afternoon.

While they were cooking dumplings, the sound of firecrackers couldn't stop crackling outside.

"Whose house is this, why are they all so positive."

Qiu Meihua muttered and sped up the movements in her hands.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers, Xu Yingcai remembered, no wonder they made dumplings so early today, they have a saying here, dumplings are ripe early in the afternoon, and the wheat will be ripe early in the coming year. Therefore, everyone makes dumplings early, hoping to have a good harvest next year. In fact, this is superstition, but more precisely, it is the meaning and hope in the hearts of farmers.

As soon as the dumplings were cooked, Xu Chen tied firecrackers to the sticks.

Xu Wei didn't order it, Liu Mingda was a foreigner, and the matter of lighting firecrackers fell on Xu Hui.

Xu Hui was not afraid at all, shouted for his sister to cover her ears, and then lit firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers, the red confetti falling from the smoke, Xu Ying smiled, she just wanted such a day, ordinary but beautiful.

In the evening, everyone played poker together until twelve o'clock, which was regarded as a vigil.

At five o'clock in the morning of the first day of the new year, Xu Ying was called by Qiu Meihua and ate a bowl of dumplings, but she couldn't sleep. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she went back to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already past ten o'clock, and I started to eat lunch after talking about the conversation.

Xu Ying didn't go out in the afternoon, and she left her parents' house in the third year of junior high school. It's going to be a year or two next time she comes back, and she wants to buy time for her parents and younger brothers.

Xu Chen and Qiu Meihua also knew that their daughter couldn't stay for two days, so they didn't go anywhere, so they talked to Xu Ying.

In the second year of junior high school, the second day of junior high school is the day when the girl returns to her parents' home.

Their family is going to Xu Ying's grandmother's house.

Bought something. The family went to Qiu Baochang's house.

Originally, this was also the day Cui Feng returned to her parents' house, but because she knew that Xu Ying was leaving tomorrow, she postponed it for a day and stayed at home today.

Qiu Dajuan and his wife, Qiu Xiaojuan and his wife are also back. A lively room of people.

At noon, Qiu Baochang prepared eight dishes, and everyone sat down to eat a meal.

After eating and talking, when it was time to leave in the afternoon, Xu Ying's grandmother took Xu Ying's hand and shed tears.

My granddaughter is gone, and I don't know if I can meet them.

"Don't cry, it's the New Year. Yingzi has a child again, which is a good thing. You're crying, Yingzi should be uncomfortable. ”

Qiu Baochang persuaded beside him, but he turned around and wiped his eyes with the corner of his padded jacket.

"Grandpa, grandma, don't feel uncomfortable, when the child is a little older, I will come back with the child to show you, you have to pay attention to your body, don't be reluctant to usually eat, eat whatever you want. Don't think about it. I'll be fine. ”

Xu Ying persuaded the two old men, and her eyes were slightly moist.

She remembered that her grandmother died five years later, and her grandfather was okay, he died when she was thirty years old. She came back more often, and she could still see each other many times.

said goodbye to the reluctant Qiu family.

After going back, Xu Ying went to her aunt's house again and told her aunt that she would leave tomorrow.

Xu Ying's aunt told her a lot, told her to pay attention to her body, and led the child back with Liu Mingda to have a look.

Xu Ying was a little sleepless at night, and Liu Mingda gently hugged her. Coax her.

Over there, Qiu Meihua cried under the quilt.

Xu Chen was silent, and his eyes were red.

Xu Wei and Xu Hui didn't cry, but the two brothers didn't speak for a long time while lying on the bed, and kept their eyes open.

It was an sleepless night, and no one in the Xu family slept well, and the parting made them all feel uncomfortable.

Xu Ying: They were in the car at 11:40 at noon on the third day of the new year.

Xu Chen and Liu Mingda ran to the train station to buy tickets in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, fortunately, because they went early, there were indeed not too many people in the car, they bought a hard sleeper, bought a seat, because the hard sleeper was left.

Liu Mingda is quite satisfied, there is a place to lie down, Xu Yingneng is less guilty and safer.

After breakfast, I was about to go out with my things.

Things were prepared yesterday, in addition to Xu Ying and Liu Mingda's change of clothes, there are also specialties here, and Xu Chen also brought them fried peanuts, fried soybeans, and some dried sweet potatoes and other things that their family dried themselves.

He also wanted to bring them dozens of catties of raw peanuts, but Xu Ying and Liu Mingda refused, there were many things, they couldn't take them, unlike the time when they came, Xu Ying could help a lot, and now they didn't dare to use Xu Ying, so Liu Mingda couldn't bring too many things alone.

Qiu Meihua only sent people to the door, covered her mouth and cried and returned to the yard, she couldn't stand this, she really couldn't hold back her tears.

Xu Ying sniffled lightly, seeing that her mother was so uncomfortable, how could she feel good, but she had to leave if she was uncomfortable, she got married, she had her own home and had to live her own life.

Xu Chen, Xu Wei, and Xu Hui all wanted to send them and help carry things.

There was some silence on the road, as if he had finished speaking, and he didn't know what to say.

"Don't hang up at home, your mother and I are fine, write a letter back when you go back, do more work at home, and be filial to your parents-in-law."

Xu Chen explained to Xu Ying, in fact, he had said such things several times, but he still couldn't help but admonish.

Xu Ying nodded, indicating that she remembered.

"Dad, you and my mother should pay attention to their bodies, if Yingzi is born, if you have nothing to do, come to Heibei, you can also see Yingzi, Xiaowei, Xiaohui, I am far away from your sister, Mom and Dad, you are so worried, if you have something to write to us, you can call."

Liu Mingda also explained.

"Medium, medium. If it's not busy, we'll go. ”

Xu Chen agreed repeatedly.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Sister, I'll definitely go to see you later. ”

Xu Hui said it to Xu Ying, but he also promised himself.

When they arrived at the intersection, they found the three-way car, Xu Chen, Xu Wei and Xu Hui wanted to send them to the township, Liu Mingda and Xu Ying stopped them and asked them to go back to accompany Qiu Meihua, my mother must be very sad.

"Dad, you tell my mother not to cry, I'll be back when I have time, you pay attention to your health."

The tricycle started, and Xu Ying waved to her father and younger brother. (To be continued.) )
