After a few snowfalls, the New Year's spirit is getting stronger.

Lu Xiaoyi's three pigs were also successfully sold for money, and this year's pig earned more than 500 yuan in previous years, thanks to Yang Tu's father and son, not only did they collect half less for slaughtering pigs, but also helped sell the other two pigs.

The reason why Yang Tu took such a painstaking effort to help was because the Wang family had already agreed to Yang Zhiwen and Chunyun's family affairs, although the eldest aunt was not happy, but Wang Pozi and Wang Yujin agreed, and the eldest aunt could only listen to his mother-in-law and husband. Moreover, the Yang family has already asked the matchmaker to officially come to the door to propose marriage, and the Yang family and the Lu family will be relatives in the future, and Yang Tu should help like this.

Lu Xiaoyi's family has a good income this year, and the New Year's gifts for the old man are also very rich, plus Mrs. Lu is back this year, and her share is indispensable.

Because the caravan out of the customs stalled before the year, the scone business also entered the off-season, and there were many things to do at the end of the year, Yulan discussed with Lu Zhong, and prepared a knife of pork belly, two catties of brown sugar, and three feet of cloth for the women who helped them, and asked them to go home to prepare for the New Year, and then start work after the year. and privately gave Wang Dongmei a gift of 200 Wen, Yulan was quietly given to Wang Dongmei, thinking that her monthly salary was handed over to Mrs. Lu, and she didn't have any private money in her hand, no matter how hateful Wang Dongmei's family was, there should be no less filial piety during the New Year's Festival, and the province was said.

Wang Dongmei was grateful for Yulan's kindness and silently remembered this love.

The surplus grain also sent five hares, five pheasants, and some dried fungus and dried mushrooms to the future Yue's family. What is given to Xiao Geng is a wooden sharpened pen holder, and a small round fan of pheasant tail feathers is made for Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding. It looks very delicate and small, and there are two head flowers tied with colored feathers, one blue-green and the other reddish pink, which he usually collects in the mountains and forests. In addition, there is also a peach wood hairpin, which he specially made for Xiao Yi, and a peach blossom is engraved on the hairpin, although the carving is not very realistic, but the heart is full.

Magnolia made a set of winter clothes for the surplus grain. Lu Xiaoyi also took out the New Year's gift she prepared for the rest of the grain. A navy blue satchel can be used to carry some collected mountain fruits, mushrooms and fungus, as well as some gadgets when you go back into the mountain.

Lu Shouzeng returned the ten taels of silver he borrowed last year to Lu Zhong a year ago, and said with a smile: "As soon as this account is cleared, I will have no burden on my shoulders." There is output in the field in the future. There are entries in the basket basket. The days are rushing! ”

These ten taels of silver were once compensated by the Shen family for Xiao Yi, but they didn't think that they would help Lu Yong a lot when they got married, after more than a year of hard work. Lu Shouzeng and Lu Yong returned the ten taels of silver, and Lu Zhong also returned the ten taels of silver to the Shen family in advance, no matter how you say it, it is a happy thing.

Lu Zhong was happy in his heart, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, he gave each of the three children 100 yuan for the New Year.

Xiao Yi's sister and brother were so happy, one of them carried a string of money to count and count, and after the addiction, they were taken away by Yulan, and they only passed a hand addiction when they earned New Year's money from their grandfather, and they didn't get much New Year's money from their great-grandmother, so Yulan left them for pocket money.

Qi Feng also came all the way to visit the New Year with the Lu family, and the surplus grain also came, and the two got a lot of New Year's money from Lu Zhong.

The New Year passed in this atmosphere of mutual gifts and blessings, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, Qi Shan personally invited the Lu family to the city to watch the lantern festival.

Yulan wanted to go, but her body was inconvenient, and it was not a joke that there were many people and cars and were hit. Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother were excited, jumping up and down to see the lantern festival, and Lu Zhong responded with a smile.

Lu Shouzeng and Mrs. Lu didn't go, Lu Yong wanted to take Wang Dongmei and let Mrs. Lu take care of Xiaofeng at home. Lu Yong's words were like igniting a powder keg, and Mrs. Lu exploded on the spot, scolding Wang Dongmei for being playful and playful, and wanting to see the lantern and throw the child to the old man, scolding Yulan for having a big heart, letting the children mess around, scolding Lu Zhong for being stupid, knowing that there are many people at the lantern festival, what if she has to covet that little bit of eye pleasure and lose her grandson?

Mrs. Lu scolded fiercely, Qi Shan was also embarrassed, and originally kindly invited the Lu family to go into the city to watch the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect to make Mrs. Lu unhappy, and immediately accompanied the smile and persuaded him: "Aunt Lu listens to me, although there are many people at the Lantern Festival, but with a few of us big men to protect it, the women and children will be fine." ”

Mrs. Lu pointed at Qi Shan and said sharply: "If it weren't for your child, you would definitely not care, and your family's heartless eyes, driving a carriage and flying, how dare I rest assured that he will protect my grandson." ”

Mrs. Lu said yes, his son is indeed a heartless eye, Qi Shan smiled embarrassedly: "Don't worry, I won't let that heartless eye go with me when the time comes." ”

Lu Zhong also came out to persuade: "Mother, with me and my second brother here, as well as Brother Qi and a few of them, I promise that nothing will happen, you can rest assured!" ”

Mrs. Lu still wanted to make noise, but Lu Shouzeng roared: "Shut up, are you a fool when you treat everyone else?" He apologized to Qi Shan with a smile: "The women in the family don't know how to be polite, offended and offended!" ”

Qi Shan laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, when I see Aunt Lu, I think of my mother in my hometown, every time the wind goes with me, she will be so impatient and worried, it seems to be rude and troublesome, but it is actually a fist and a heart!" ”

Qi Shan was bold and generous, and Lu Shouzeng also appreciated it, and the two of them hugged their fists and smiled, which can be regarded as revealing the matter.

Lu Pozi was dismissed, Lu Zhong and others were busy packing up their things, and Qi Shan went to Shangxi Village to find surplus grain, and invited him to the city to watch the lantern festival.

Yulan didn't go, Lu Zhong said: "Let's follow, let's go all the way to the official road smoothly and without bumps." ”

"There are many people and cars, and I toss people back and forth, so I still don't go because of my physical inconvenience."

Lu Zhong said: "Let's stay at Brother Qi's house at night, don't be in a hurry to come back, I'll take the children to watch the lantern festival at night, you rest at Qi's house, and we'll come back early tomorrow morning." ”

Yulan thought that the children would stay at Qi's house, but she was not at ease, so she finally agreed to Lu Zhong's proposal, packed up, took out the children's New Year's clothes from the bottom of the box, smoothed out the creases, and told the children to put them on.

Lu Xiaoyi laughed and said, "Wow! See my new clothes again! I thought I wouldn't have to wear it until the end of the year! ”

Xiao Ding also followed: "Yes, yes, I can wear new clothes again!" ”

Yulan glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, "You will be a demon, when will I press my new clothes until the end of the year?" When you encounter a festival or go to relatives, you will take it out and wear it for you. ”

Lu Xiaoyi counted with his fingers, "Na, I'll do the math, I can wear it a few times a year." ”

Yulan poked her and said angrily: "What's the matter, hurry up and pack up and leave, don't let people wait for a long time." ”

Lu Xiaoyi put on the Hulan jacket, gestured to Yulan and said: "Mother, if you have new clothes, you have to wear them quickly, you see that I and Xiaoding Xiaogeng are like jointed bamboo shoots, if you don't wear them, the new clothes will be small." ”

Yulan took the opportunity to teach her daughter: "Save food to eat, save clothes to wear, wear new clothes for the New Year, wash them once you wash them, and put them away when you need them. ”

Lu Xiaoyi pouted and complained: "What should I do if I grow too fast and my clothes are small?" ”

"Then wear it for Xiao Ding, if Xiao Ding can't wear it, then wear it for Xiao Geng, there is always something that can be worn."

Xiao Geng used to be happy, but now that he has read the book for two months, he has a different idea and protests: "Mother, I don't wear my sisters' flower clothes anymore." ”

Magnolia smiled: "I can't help you! ”

Xiao Geng's face was about to turn into a bun, and he continued to protest, Yulan said: "If you make any more trouble, you will stay and watch the house." Xiao Geng immediately shut up.

Xiao Ding smiled and took out two head flowers made of bird feathers from the box, "Sister, let's bring this, it looks good on the head with a slight feather tremble!" You wear this blue-green one, which matches the color of your clothes, and I have a red pink one, okay? ”

Okay, it's all good, Lu Xiaoyi doesn't pick on these.

When Qishan brought the surplus grain over, the Lu family packed it up, so the female dependents took the carriage, Lu Zhong Lu Yong and the surplus grain took the donkey cart, and the group went out of the village to the city.

Qi Shan is much more reliable than Qi Feng, the carriage is steady and not in a hurry, and even Xiao Ding, who is prone to motion sickness, behaves naturally without any discomfort.

Yulan and Wang Dongmei were talking happily, Lu Xiaoyi remembered one thing and asked Yulan: "Mother, why did my aunt stop for a while." ”

originally thought that I would go back and do it drastically, who would have thought that there would be no sound in the past two months, and I wouldn't even go out of the door, or I came to visit the second room with Lu Si and the children during the New Year, Lu Xiaoyi saw her, she was thin, her eyes were a little swollen, and she rarely said anything, so it must be that life is not good!

According to Mrs. Lu's temperament, she found that this granddaughter-in-law was stupid and vicious, and she must be classified as unpopular, and the treatment was estimated to be the same as Mrs. Lu's, plus Lu Si was also very disappointed in her, and after several hardships, it was no wonder that her life was better!

Yulan said lightly: "She has to look at the time if she wants to toss, she is not happy, what else can she do?" Digging a pit and building a platform is not a matter of one sentence, there is no labor at home, and you have to pass the old lady's pass first, she is still waiting for the opportunity! ”

Wang Dongmei also understood, and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, do you mean that your sister-in-law wants to make scones from another stove?" ”

Yulan nodded, she didn't want to hide it from Wang Dongmei, but she wouldn't take the initiative to tell her that her sister-in-law was not, and at this time she was mentioned by Xiao Yi, and Yulan no longer concealed it, and said: "This matter is just my private speculation, whether my sister-in-law is such a person or not, I can only see what to do next!" ”

Wang Dongmei said: "My cousin-in-law helped for a few days, I thought she was strange, and I couldn't tell where the blame was. ”

"Even you think so, that's all there is to it. Nine is not far from ten. ”

"Sister-in-law, are you just going to let her go? Before she started the work, let's go to my grandmother, and I will testify to you that you must suppress her crooked thoughts. ”

Yulan said: "Some people can't draw tigers and can't become anti-dogs, let her go!" ”

Wang Dongmei saw that her sister-in-law was so calm, she must have known that her sister-in-law would not learn, and then she thought that her sister-in-law dared to ask outsiders to help, and she was not afraid of leaking it, this scone must have a secret in it. (To be continued.) )
