The next day was the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

In that part of the town, it has been the custom since ancient times to celebrate the New Year today, but their royal cottage and several surrounding houses will only celebrate the New Year tomorrow. I don't know if the distance is not even ten miles, why the customs are completely different, and the accent is completely different.

Maybe this is what my son said. My son once said that our country is too big, and there are always wars in history, and the population of various places has moved everywhere to escape the war, and there may be people from two different places who have moved to live in adjacent places, so that they are only a few miles apart, as if they have crossed a province, and they are completely two different accents.

Of course, when her son said these things, Wang Li just listened to them, and she was not a person who studied these things, so she just knew a little bit of skin, just like her son said, just know what was going on.

In the royal hut, the twenty-third is to send the god of the stove.

Because of the need to send the god of the stove, the team simply stopped working today, and let each family prepare well at home, so Wang Li's family is still very busy today.

Wang Li got up early in the morning, drove the chickens out, burned the stove and cooked porridge, boiled the hot water for washing, mixed the pig food and took it out to see, the family had already gotten up, even Wang Mei, who always had to urge and invite on weekdays, was no exception.

Lin Guizhi said happily: "Send the god of the stove today, the god of the stove has gone to the sky, say hello to our family, and our family will have a more prosperous life next year!" ”

Then the tasks began to be assigned one by one.

Wang Li put down the pig food bucket and kicked it, and glanced at her mother again, just to see what her mother did.

Sure enough, Lin Guizhi stiffened, and changed the job of calling Ah Fang and Ah Xia to fight dust to patriotism, and asked Wang Lao to fetch water, and called Wang Mei and Wang Fang Wang Xia to wipe the windows, tables, chairs and benches, and finally let Wang Li go to feed the pigs and chickens and cut a cabbage in the vegetable field by the way, and she herself was ready to pay tribute to the god of the stove.

Wang Li winked at the two little sisters, swept Wang Mei with her eyes, and then carried the bucket to the pigsty.

When Wang Li came home after being busy, she actually saw Wang Mei honestly standing on a small stool and taking a ball of straw paper to wipe the window glass, which was as strange as seeing red rain in the sky, this is really Wang Mei?

Wang Mei looked at Wang Li's eyes, rolled her eyes, didn't make a sound, and continued to wipe her glass.

Wang Fang touched Wang Li's side and said secretly: "Second sister, the eldest sister's glass has not been wiped until now." After saying that, he secretly went back to wipe the table.

Wang Li is angry and funny, and her feelings are grinding.

Regardless of her, things always have to change little by little, and now it's another quarrel, after all, today is going to send the stove god, and it's not good to be noisy.

The family was busy all morning, sent away the god of the stove, and after eating lunch, Lin Guizhi and Wang Laozhuan both had smiles on their faces, and the old couple both felt that this year, the god of the stove was sent to the sky to say goodbye to the Jade Emperor, and the family would be even better next year.

The two discussed again when they wanted to kill the pig.

Wang Laozhuan said: "It's still twenty-five, isn't there a big gathering in the county after tomorrow?" It's the New Year, you always have to buy some table goods to put on the table, you can't have someone at home to come to pay New Year's greetings, the table is bare, and the children also have to pull some cloth to make clothes, I see that Ali's clothes are small, and the patriotic clothes can be seen, well, you will also pull one when the time comes. ”

Lin Guizhi smiled and said: "What clothes do I want, isn't there anything I did for the New Year the year before last, but you, you see that your clothes are patches, and there is no way to repair them if they are broken, this time, I will tear you and patriotism, Ali don't pull it first, she is still growing tall, first pick up Ami's clothes, Ami will be eighteen next year, do you want to dress up, or pull her up." ”

Wang Laozhuan looked at his two daughters, and felt that what Lin Guizhi said was the same, so he stopped making a sound, and arranged it again: "Then the day after tomorrow, I also called the old Pan of Pan Jiadun next door to kill the pig, two heads, let him take one head, kill the other, and the money he got is just to buy New Year's goods, and the rest, to the twenty-nineth, let's go to Pan Yan, and send the child to her cousin. Fortunately, as soon as it is returned this year, two more piglets will be caught in the spring of next year, and by the end of the year, it will be able to be returned to all. ”

Lin Guizhi said: "There are still a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds at home, and I will borrow iron sand tomorrow and ask Ali to fry them, which is also a good table goods." Go back to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some winter melon candy, hey, when the children were young, they could also buy some square cakes, buy some hemp balls and maltose, and then cut some sesame candy and dried sweet potatoes, where is it like now, so poor.

Wang Laozhuan said helplessly: "Isn't that everyone like this, don't say this outside, it's too late for people to cry when they hear it." Okay, okay, Ali, you go to your fourth father's house to borrow iron sand, and just fry the melon seeds and peanuts at night. ”

When Wang Li heard this, she directly crossed over to Wang Mei and asked her to fry peanuts and melon seeds, but she was not angry, but said, "Mom, didn't you say that the eldest sister will be eighteen next year?" She's going to meet someone, right? ”

Lin Guizhi was a little reluctant and a little proud and said: "Yes, your sister will see each other next year, and she will almost have a happy event the year after next." ”

Wang Mei sneered when she heard this, and when she saw that the whole family was looking at her, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Look at what I'm doing, I can't laugh yet."

Down? "The heart said, who knows where he will be next year, anyway, he is going to the city, how can he still look at the mud legs they show each other.

The others went back and continued, each muttering to themselves, thinking that she was going to lose her temper, but she didn't.

Wang Li said: "If she settles down in the future, things in this family can't be nothing, or this year."

I came to fry it, so that she could watch the study on the side, and let her be able to do some work in the future. ”

Wang Mei was angry, sure enough, Wang Li was a debt collector, she was born to deal with her, and she stirred up trouble here, she will go to the county seat in the future, where can she buy delicious peanuts and melon seeds at that time, and she has to fry them herself! What should I do if I fry these things and accidentally burn them?

But looking at her parents' approving looks, she held her breath again, and she couldn't let people know about going to the county seat. Anyway, it's just to see what you can do if you can't learn.

When Wang Li said it, she had been guarding against Wang Mei's trouble, but Wang Mei was angry at first, and then she didn't know what was wrong, but the anger was gone, but she looked like she was patient with me, and she felt strange in her heart.

Thinking of yesterday, Wang Mei also looked so proud and disdainful, completely different from usual, as if she had something to rely on, and others didn't know.

But what is there in this family that she knows and others don't know? She didn't have a clue when she thought about it, and planned to go back and ask Aiguo to see if he knew.

When the arrangement is over, Wang Lao Bolt carried a hookah, put on a hat, and went out with his hands behind his back. As for playing cards and gambling or something, some old gamblers secretly hid and gambled, but Wang Lao Bolt didn't know anything about it.

This thing, the grandfather was not miserable, hundreds of acres of land have been lost to a penny left, the family Yuan Datou Xiao Yellow Croaker originally saved a large box, but it was ruined in less than two years, and even the grandmother's jewelry was almost the same, and there were a few bare brick houses left in the house. The most angry thing is that it is obviously so miserable, but when it is liberated, he will be beaten into a middle peasant, and his life is very difficult.

Seeing that Wang Laozhuan was gone, Wang Mei was restless again, without her father watching, her mother could naturally get out if she said a few words casually.

At this moment, Wang Meike wants to see Xiaomei's arrogant stinky girl. Hehe, her father is so cheap, she is really like her father, she knows how to rob other people's men. However, now she doesn't want Zhao Bingcheng, she just let her go, it's best if she really becomes with Zhao Bingcheng, and when she goes to the county seat to find a golden job bowl in the future, bring it back to her to see, that's the most beautiful.

Thinking of this, Wang Mei was full of energy, casually said to her mother, pulled her legs and ran out of the door, and didn't even hear Lin Guizhi tell her to come back early.

The rest of the people were surprised by her eagerness, and they didn't know what she was going to do.
