Qing smiled and nodded, "I only caught up last night." ”

Jiang Minghui realized that she was rushing to get clothes last night.

Dumb nudged him by the arm and motioned for him to try it on.

Jiang Minghui hurriedly went to the bed and changed out, looked at her and asked, "How is it?" ”

Qingdue stepped forward, helped him tie his belt, straightened his collar, pulled the placket, and then took a step back to look, only to see a handsome young man with a little bit of the taste of a son.

Guo Dagui and kohlrabi watched from the side, and they were all red and envious.

Guo Dagui twisted the cloth in his hand and said jealously: "I don't have it, you have it first." ”

Jiang Minghui was both happy and embarrassed, and looked at Qing dumb at a loss.

Dumbly and apologetically smiled at the third brother, "I'll do it for you next time." ”

It's not that she forgot her relatives, but her mother asked her to do it.

She knitted this brocade that day, and I don't know who made it for her three brothers.

Wu said, no one will do it, give it to Minghui.

The Jiang family must give New Year's gifts for the New Year, and the Guo family wants to return the gifts, back clothes, shoes and socks, etc., one can show the craftsmanship of the girl, and the other is naturally different from the intention of making it yourself, which is more suitable than other things.

She just helped Jiang Minghui do it.

Guo Dagui also knows this, and he won't complain about his sister, but it's just talking.

At that moment, Jiang Minghui changed into new clothes, put on his clothes again, and went out to eat.

After the meal, the Guo family will also wrap the return gift for the Jiang family in a basket.

The Jiang family has meat, and of course the Guo family can't send meat over, so they sent a pair of red carp, a pair of osmanthus fish, and red dates, all of which are auspicious and real; Then, Wu put two catties of tofu buns, tofu dumplings and fried glutinous rice balls made yesterday, plus the brocade clothes and shoes and socks given to Jiang Minghui, this gift is also very decent.

The New Year's gift for the Cai family is the same, only there is no brocade clothes, but a cotton cardigan made by the Cai family for the old lady, the carp is also smaller, and the tofu buns are less than half.

As soon as the qiē was done properly, Jiang Minghui had to go on the road.

Counting it, when he came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it would only be two days away.

However, that's not what I said, and it's next year.

Jiang Minghui and Qingdue are a little difficult to distinguish.

It's better to be dumb, with her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law and lovely nephews and children occupying her life, busy all day long, lively and preparing for the New Year, this atmosphere is very novel to her, so she doesn't feel too disappointed to be separated from Jiang Minghui.

When Jiang Minghui thought of leaving Qingdu, his heart was simply empty, and he couldn't raise the slightest interest in everything after returning home, so he just felt bored.

It would be great if I could celebrate the New Year with the dumb people!

No matter how reluctant you are, you have to go.

Tomorrow is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, which is the New Year, because there is no thirty in this year.

So he gritted his teeth and got on the boat, full of depression like a winter field in a water town.

When he got home, he showed the Guo family's return gift to his father.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were very satisfied when they saw that the pair of big red carp were the same size as the big red carp, which was extremely rare; Looking at the brocade dress again, it is even more eye-catching. It is said that there is one, but in fact there are two pieces: the brocade clothes are covered on the outside, and the inner jacket includes two layers of inner and outer layers, a layer of silk cloth and a layer of cotton cloth, and a thin layer of cotton is spread in the middle, and a large pattern is sewn with fine needles and threads to fix the cotton and prevent it from running around.

Aunt Jiang held her clothes in her hand and turned them inside and out to check.

Father Jiang also looked at it and sighed: "This brocade is woven dumbly? ”

Jiang Minghui nodded proudly.

Father Jiang asked again: "She also made the clothes?" ”

Jiang Minghui said: "Of course. ”

Boss Jiang touched the buckle on the belt and said, "I made this." ”

Jiang Minghui hurriedly said: "Dumb said that the eldest brother is so beautiful." ”

Boss Jiang touched his head and laughed.

Father Jiang said: "What a skill with dumb hands! ”

Jiang Minghui was full of agreement, and his mood was slightly better.

In the face of these, Aunt Jiang had nothing to say, and she couldn't find a little rudeness.

But she felt that this was as it should be, because the Jiang family had also been rich in gifts in the past.

How much silver are those four screens worth?

She thought that after all, the Guo family still knew how to look and behave.

Because everyone only cares about these things, they don't pay attention to tofu buns, tofu dumplings, etc., thinking that they are just ordinary things. However, when I tried it when I was eating, it turned out that it was all mixed with meat, and the method was fine, and the taste was even more wonderful, so I was full of praise.

Jiang Minghui said: "Don't look at this little thing, the stuffing is dumb and made all afternoon, there are seven or eight kinds of ingredients, and they are finely chopped." The tofu buns are wrapped in tofu skin, wrapped and marinated in the old soup; The tofu dumplings are filled with filling, wrapped in small gauze pieces and compacted, otherwise they are easy to scatter, and then steamed in a steamer...... There is also meat in the fried glutinous rice balls......"

Only then did everyone realize that these things were not ordinary return gifts.

Aunt Jiang immediately asked her daughter-in-law to bring the bowl, and picked up half of the bowl.

Daddy Jiang hurriedly asked, "What to do?" ”

Aunt Jiang said: "Send some to his second aunt and fifth grandmother to taste." ”

Boss Jiang hurriedly said: "Mother, it's only so much to get together, it's not enough for us to eat ourselves, and we still give it away?" ”

Aunt Jiang glanced at him and said, "This is given by Minghui's daughter-in-law's family, and it is also a meaning to ask them to taste it." Eat openly, how many can't be eaten? You are so greedy, you went to his father-in-law's house with Minghui to eat after the New Year. Look at people and don't laugh at you! ”

Everyone laughed.

In the end, I picked up some and gave them away.

For Aunt Jiang, the better these things are, the more they can't eat them by themselves, they must be given to relatives to taste, and then let them spread them in the village.

Because it's not eating, it's eating face!

When the clothes made of dumb are worn out, people will see them, and when they see them, they will ask; If you don't give it to others, how can others know about it?

Of course, listening to her blow is not as good as tasting it with her own mouth, so she wants to send it.

In this way, everyone can know what a good family affair the Jiang family has set!

Aunt Jiang's purpose has been achieved.

On the first day of the first lunar month, when I went from house to house to visit the New Year, Maozhuwu spread all over Jiang Minghui's daughter-in-law who was capable and skillful, had a rich family background, and was good-looking, which was really one in a hundred!

The cousin who is close to the Zhang family in Luwan Village, known as the "Ninth Aunt", has a good understanding of the ins and outs of the Zhang, Guo, Li, and Jiang families, and has her own set of opinions in her heart.

Because she couldn't slander Jiang Minghui's clothes, and she couldn't pick out an opinion on what the Jiang family had eaten—she had never heard of that practice—she decided that the Guo family took such trouble to give the Jiang family a gift in return, which meant to rush to ask for good.

Why?

Because the daughter of the Guo family has withdrawn!

Those who have withdrawn from their relatives have a bad reputation and are difficult to marry.

When a few mothers-in-law gossiped together, they unconsciously talked about it again.

Aunt Jiu chirped and said to Aunt Jiang: "In the end, it is the Jiang family, the family must have a family background, and the son will be promising." It's no wonder that the Guo family is so enthusiastic, and they promised to accompany 20 acres of land, and they helped Minghui make clothes and food...... For fear that the Jiang family would refuse to agree to the family affair, they desperately posted it upside down. If you want me to say, this pro-Jiang family has suffered a loss, in the end, the daughter of the Guo family has withdrawn from her family, her reputation is not very good, and it is easy to not get married. Your family Minghui is different, and the courtesy stepped on the threshold. I said, sister-in-law, why didn't you think about it and agreed? I know two daughters, who are much stronger than the Guo family. If Minghui didn't say kiss, I would be able to protect the media. ”

Aunt Jiang hurriedly said: "Don't blame the Guo family for retreating, it's the son of the first family who is shameless." ”

She maintains her reputation as a dumb person, which is to maintain the reputation of the Jiang family.

If not, would it be admitted that the Jiang family had married an indishonorable daughter-in-law?

Isn't that a slap in the mouth!

Aunt Jiu's expression froze, and she sneered: "The Guo family is too hot." When I married the Zhang family before, I didn't say that I would marry twenty acres. There are also clothes, and the sons of the Guo family don't have good clothes, so they are willing to make them for Minghui. What is this not an upside down? ”

For this, Aunt Jiang did not argue with her.

People begged for their son, which was a shameful thing for the Jiang family, so there was no need to deny it.

She generously didn't say anything about the Jiang family's generous New Year's gift to the Guo family.

She only smiled "modestly": "The Guo family loves their daughter the most." Guo's family likes Minghui the most, and he is like his own son, and he feels distressed like something, more than me and his father. My daughter-in-law there is also skillful, and the bamboo silk paintings made by our family are all drawn by her. ”

Her heart was hot, and she told her about it.

Aunt Jiu and the others all opened their eyes wide, and they were all amazed.

After asking what was going on, I sighed even more.

Therefore, Aunt Jiang's explanation not only did not eliminate the rumors, but confirmed the fact that the Guo family desperately used means to marry a daughter.

When Aunt Cai heard about this, she couldn't help but defend her son-in-law's family.

But the more she argued, the more people felt that she was weak-hearted, and the more she described, the darker she became.

The Guo family knows nothing about these things.

The family was busy with the New Year, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and they were full of energy.

Although there is a bad luck of withdrawing from relatives this year, the ending is unexpectedly good, because he has a son-in-law who is even better than the original. Just thinking of the arrival of a new son-in-law on the second day of the new year, Guo Shouye and his family were full of energy.

As the saying goes, "Far is close, near is plague." "Relatives are inevitably not so affectionate when they are close, even if there is a saying that "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", they can't resist bumping into each other. Therefore, in previous years, Zhang Futian also had to go to Guo's house for the New Year, but it was not as big as Jiang Minghui's expectations for the Guo family this year.

In such an atmosphere, although Qingdu misses his parents in his previous life, he can only accept his fate and help his mother and sister-in-law Zhang Luo New Year's goods. For eating and drinking, her knowledge is naturally not comparable to the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so the Guo family has made many fresh and rare foods and dishes this year than in previous years.

The house is full of incense, and Guo Qin's three little ones are crazy.

Every time you make something, you have to get some for them to try something new.

Seeing this, Cai and Ruan couldn't help but order, "Don't eat indiscriminately, beware of being full." ”

However, even if you only taste one bite of each, the three small ones will have a round belly.

Under the New Year, the Wu family was very tolerant of this situation and did not scold his grandson. Every time Qingmu made something freshly eaten, she would instruct, "Put away some of this, and next year, when the son-in-law leaves for the first time, he can't put the leftover dishes out for entertainment." ”

The two daughters-in-law agreed crisply, and they received a single copy of everything.

After dark, it snowed heavily, and they all rushed to the ground. Two big red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the main porch, and the doors of the east and west wings were also hung. The lantern skeleton was made by Guo Shouye himself, and he bought red paper paste outside. Qingdu also wrote the words "peace" and "wealth" on each lantern, although it is simple and popular, but for the farmer, there is no more real than this. As soon as it is ready, the sound of firecrackers in ten miles and eight towns crackles non-stop, and the process of removing the old and welcoming the new is vigorous, which is by no means comparable to the previous life of the dumb.

She felt that the joy in her heart could not be suppressed, and she turned around and walked into the hall.

The incense table for worshipping the ancestors was placed above the hall, and she lit three incense sticks, knelt down and bowed three times.

This is to worship my parents in my previous life, wish them peace, and don't worry about her.

As he was kneeling reverently, he heard the sound of voices outside, not as excited as his family, with some mournful pleading. When she had finished praying, she got up and went out to see what was going on.
