34. 034 Good brother
The next day, it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this year due to the disaster has a lot less atmosphere, this year every household can be said to be quite simple.
Meiniang's family is very lively because of the arrival of the uncle's family, although the food is not as good as in previous years, it is still passable.
Mei Niang went outside by herself, caught two crucian carp in the space, and raised them for more than ten days, but they also doubled in size.
Then he took out the fish and said only that he had caught it in the river. Make He's distressed, catch fish on this cold day, don't freeze your daughter.
However, it is good to have fish to eat during the New Year, and Ho happily slaughtered and cleaned up the fish, just waiting for dinner to add a dish.
There are many people in the family, and Mei Niang didn't dare to enter the space at home, just entered the outside once, and the potatoes in the field have bloomed purple and white flowers, and the bud rice sticks are also half a foot long, presumably they will be harvested soon......
And there were at least three or four sticks on each pole, and this was the result of a cursory glance, presumably the harvest of this bud was not small.
Thinking that you can see the benefits at a glance, Mei Niang is happy to see her eyebrows, and there is no doubt about the joy of the New Year.
The couplet was written by Yun Xuan, and it was a little more joyful when it was pasted on the door, and Mei Niang had a good impression of this cousin who didn't talk much but could write and count.
Yun Xuan looks a little bookish as a whole, not very handsome but extremely attractive, thin but not weak figure is as tall as a pine, because he has been running around all the year round, his face is not very white, and a pair of wise eyes seem to be able to see through everything.
At the age of nineteen, he was also the pillar of the family at this time, and he was a person who had read books, which was different from those country men in the village, and he was also a good young man second to none when he was mentioned.
Especially Yun Xuan's inadvertent attitude towards her and towards Yueniang made her very moved, this is really as much as if she was her own sister, and she is a little more intimate to Yun Xuan's cousin.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Yun Xuan took advantage of the lack of attention and pulled Meiniang outside the house.
Mei Niang was about to laugh at him if he had something to say in front of his family, and he had to bring her outside, when he saw Yun Xuan stretching out his hand and handing it to her, and there was still a piece of silver in his hand, which was more than three taels.
"It's the New Year, and my brother doesn't know what to give you, you can take these, although it's not much, buy a calf after the New Year and raise it to help cultivate the fields."
Mei Niang knew that he was taken away by the second uncle's family because of the family's cattle, and she thought that her family had no cattle to plough the fields, which was really intimate.
But now he is just a small steward outside, and his monthly salary is only a few hundred dollars, and three taels of silver is not a small amount for him, how can she ask for it?
After a few excuses, Yun Xuan forcefully stuffed the silver into Mei Niang's hand, "Second sister, this silver will be used as your brother's makeup, and when you get married in the future, your brother will not give it to you, if you have to return it to your brother, it will be too little." ”
When it comes to this, Mei Niang is not good at pushing it again, but she secretly decides in her heart: if one day life is so difficult that she can't go on, she will definitely help her uncle's family as her own family.
The uncle's family stayed at Meiniang's house for five days and left early in the morning of the fourth day of the new year. It's the New Year, and it's time to go to Li's mother's house to have a look.
He had two bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which was not a rarity in previous years, but this year it was the best.
Li didn't shirk it, and after thanking him, he asked them to load them in the car and hide them properly, so as not to be robbed by hungry people on the road.
