PS: It's on the shelves, and the excitement is beyond words, so I would like to thank the editor Huanhuan and all the book friends for their support. Lingering will work harder to update the article, so stay tuned.
The next day was the first day of the new year, Lin Zhu woke up to the sound of firecrackers, and saw that Chang's mother had prepared all the washing water, she said: "Chang's mother, happy New Year." Then I got up, washed up, and put on new clothes. This is specially prepared for the Chinese New Year, made of the light red cloth given by Dr. Zhang, the color is very flattering to her, and it looks delicate and pleasant. "Well, our little bamboo girl is good, Antai Duofu, Fu Douer will live a long life." Chang's mother combed her double bun as she spoke, and put on a pink silk flower, which was made by Youqing, and Chang's mother also thought it was very beautiful. She made a larger purse for Lin Zhu and added a long strap that could be worn cross-body.
After dressing up, as soon as I ate two dumplings, Ruyu came to the door. "Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu, are you ready, let's go." Before anyone arrived, the sound came into the house. When Lin Zhu heard this, he quickly put down his chopsticks, "Mother Chang, I won't eat, I'll leave first." "Well, go out slowly, let them all come to the house later, I have prepared some small things, you can give them them." "Okay." Lin Zhu gratefully pulled her arm and shook it, "Xie Lu, Xie Chang's mother." "Okay, go ahead, don't make Xiaoyu wait long." Chang's mother touched Lin Zhu's head lovingly, and then turned around and took out two handkerchiefs, one for her to put in her purse, and the other for her to give to Ruyu.
After Lin Zhu put it away, he went out to meet Ruyu, and waved his hand at Chang's mother who was standing at the door, "Chang's mother, go back to the house." Here we go. Ruyu also greeted, "Mother Chang has a good New Year." Prepare the delicious food, and I'll come back to eat it later. After speaking, he walked out with Lin Zhu. Chang's mother smiled and went back to the house. She has no scheming about this, she speaks straightforwardly, and the cute Xiaoyu also likes it, turns around and goes into the house, takes care of Fu Dou'er, who is about to wake up, and prepares the delicious food that Ruyu said in her mouth.
Ruyu took Lin Zhu's hand and ran towards the village. There was still some snow on the road, "Xiaoyu, slow down." Lin Zhu had to hold Ruyu and prevent her from running fast. Wait, I've got something for you. "What?" Ruyu stopped when she heard this, and looked at Lin Zhu curiously, "Here, the handkerchief embroidered by Chang's mother," Lin Zhu handed the handkerchief to Ruyu, "This is specially prepared by Chang's mother." "On the light pink handkerchief, there are also two goldfish embroidered, and the stitches are delicate. Vivid, Ruyu liked it as soon as she saw it, and she couldn't put it down when she grabbed it in her hand. Along the way, I kept telling Lin Zhu how much I liked this handkerchief and how beautiful the handkerchief was.
When meeting up with three other friends in the village. She also took out the handkerchief to show off, so that all kinds of envious eyes of these children flew towards her. When I heard her say that it was made to her by Lin Zhu's mother, it became Lin Zhu who received the eyes. The eyes mixed with "I want it too" were too warm, and Lin Zhu had to tell everyone the good news in advance. "Mother Chang has prepared it for everyone, go to my house to get it later." With her words. Only then did everyone let her go, and happily went to the village to pay New Year's greetings hand in hand.
Along the way, I met many people from Linjia Village, who came out to visit each family, to the elders, relatives, and friends, and everyone was beaming with joy on their faces. From the head of the village to the end of the village, Lin Zhu and their harvest is a lot, in fact, the happiest thing in the New Year is the children, who can eat delicious food that they can't usually eat, and can also receive a lot of snacks and New Year's money. I don't know how much laughter was sprinkled along the way.
After everyone finished walking around the village, they were ready to go to Lin Zhu's house, but the small group of five people followed a small tail. It is Xiaoli, the youngest daughter of Ruyutang's uncle Lin Changsheng's family, Ruyu originally complained to Lin Zhu and didn't like this sister, but the New Year was joyful, so she didn't care too much about the little festivals in the past.
So a group of six people came to Lin Zhu's house, and as soon as they entered the gate, Ruyu shouted inside, "Mother Chang, I'm here." Chang's mother heard the movement and went out to take a look, Ruyu and Lin Zhu took the lead, and there were four little girls behind her, and asked them all to enter the house with a smile, "Come in, it's cold outside, go to the house to warm up for a while, I'll get you some good food." ”
Fu Dou'er in the house is also awake at this time, so he is not afraid of everyone making noise, and everyone sees such a cute little bun, and they rush forward to play with him, Xiao Douzi has never seen so many people, go to a little bit of life, open big round eyes and look at this curiously, look at that.
Chang's mother took out the handkerchief prepared for everyone, because she didn't expect one more person to follow, so she gave a purse to Xiaoli, and the others were all handkerchiefs. Originally, Xiaoli was a little unhappy to see that she didn't have her own handkerchief, but when she saw the purse in her hand, the workmanship was fine, and there was a blessing word embroidered on it, and she immediately liked it.
Ruyuchang's mother knew each other, and the others had only heard Lin Zhu mention it, but they didn't know it. The other four people, the first to mention buying silk flowers from Lin Zhu is called Lin Xiaowan, her brother Lin Yingjie and Ruyu's second brother Lin Hongyuan are studying together, so the two families are familiar with each other and have a good relationship, and the relationship between Ruyu and Xiaowan is naturally very good. The other two are called Lin Chunliu and Lin Xialian, and when you hear the name, you can know when Lu Dao was born, the two are sisters, and the relationship between the Ruyu family and the Xiaowan family is very good. The last is Lin Xiaoli, the sister of Ruyu's cousin. Ruyu only gave a brief introduction to Chang's mother.
No matter what their private relationship is, Chang's mother treats them equally, everyone gives candy and snacks, and their purses will be full, Lin Zhu doesn't like to eat these, so he doesn't feel distressed. The other five people were very happy, Lin Zhu's snacks were all bought from the county seat, much better than the town, it was delicious to watch, everyone was not polite, and they were all very happy. Lin Xiaoli didn't expect this lonely Lin Zhu in her mother's mouth to be so generous, although she was taught a little rude by her mother, but since her mother was taught by her father, not only has she been a lot more restrained, but even she has been taught by her father to understand a lot of things. I have a different view of Lin Zhu.
The five of them played around at Lin Zhu's house for a while, and saw that Fu Dou'er's little bun was a little sleepy, so they were all sensible and wanted to go home, Chang's mother smiled and said that they would come over to play when they were free, but because they wanted to coax Fu Dou'er to sleep, they didn't send them out. Lin Zhu sent them out of the gate.
After the five of them went home, they would receive gifts at Lin Zhu's house, and they all told their families about the things they had been playing around for a while, and the reactions of each family were different. Others press and don't mention. After Lin Xiaoli went home, she saw that her father and mother were at home, so she took out the purse and snacks she got from Lin Zhu and let them see it. "She didn't believe that Lin Zhu would be so generous, she had given Lin Zhu three hundred yuan for nothing because she stole the crops, which made her feel distressed when she thought about it." Well, Chang's mother didn't know that I also went, and I prepared a handkerchief for each of them, and what I gave me was this purse. "What are their handkerchiefs like?" It can't get better than this, right? Wen Shanniang's calculating nature came out again, Lin Changsheng was a little unhappy when he listened to it, the child happily got the gift, and let the mother compare it, "What do you compare with others, I think our daughter's purse is good, and there is such a big blessing word, not bad." He said to Lin Xiaoli again, "No matter what, this is a piece of people's hearts, so keep it and use it." "Yes, Dad, I will." After speaking, he happily took his purse and entered his house.
"You, don't always tell the children this, don't take it too seriously, the children can play together, and besides, if our daughter is wronged in that family, will she be so happy to come back?" Wen Shanniang listened to his words and had nothing to say for a while, but she always had some bitterness about Lin Zhu in her heart, and she didn't want to think that it was caused by her lack of greed.
After Ruyu returned home, she showed the handkerchief to her family, Aunt Li saw that the goldfish embroidery seemed to be real, and she knew that this craft was not ordinary, and after asking Zhilu Dao that it was embroidered by Chang's mother, she had the idea of wanting Ruyu and Youqing to follow her to learn embroidery skills, but she still had to ask Lin Zhu and Chang's mother before she could tell her two daughters. Youqing also looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief, turned over and looked at it carefully, just wanted to tell Ruyu that she wanted to borrow it for a few days, but before she could speak, Ruyu grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, and looked at herself as if she was facing a great enemy, as if to say, who dares to ask me to be in a hurry. Youqing looked at her sister funny, and didn't say anything about the idea of borrowing it, and nodded Ruyu's forehead with her hand, "Look at your stinginess!" The rest of the family laughed and looked at Ruyu.
"Mother, do you say that I will go to Chang's mother to learn the craft of embroidery?" Youqing's craftsmanship was only learned from Aunt Li, although it was blue, but the craftsmanship was mediocre, she liked these very much, so when she saw such exquisite craftsmanship, she was a little happy. "Wait until I asked Xiaozhu and Chang's mother first. Xiaozhu is okay to say, but we don't know about this mother. Aunt Li didn't say anything, she heard Lin Zhu say that this Chang mother came out of a big family, and this craft may not be easily taught.
With Aunt Li's words, Youqing was very happy. "Mother, Xiaoli also followed us to Xiaozhu's house today." Ruyu then told Aunt Li about Xiaoli in Lin Zhu's house, Aunt Li was a little worried at first, but after hearing Ruyu say that she was just playing with her and didn't say anything unpleasant, she was relieved. and told Ruyu to take care of Xiaoli when she played. Seeing Ruyu nodding obediently, he let her go back to the house to play.
Aunt Li sighed lightly, she was a little dissatisfied with Wen Shanniang, but this Xiaoli was a relative of her own family after all, and it was not good for Ruyu to leave her alone. Turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, this eldest daughter-in-law, can't eat meat, these days it's even more bad, and you can't put meat in the fried cabbage. Moreover, in addition to the cabbage grown from Lin Zhu's cabbage, she couldn't eat the cabbage she grew at home, and when she saw that the cabbage was about to be eaten, she had to go to Lin Zhu to find some more. Even if it's from Lin Zhu. After all, her long-awaited grandson is more important than anything else. (To be continued......)
