Chapter XXXVII
The second aunt didn't stay for a while, and told Chen Chunhua about it and went back.
Chen Chunhua didn't think about this idea, with the current appearance in her house, it is easy to get started with a partner. Although the second aunt said that she should not worry, how could she not worry about this business. Besides, she is not a layman, not to mention how many doors in the business are bigger, just say small.
It's hard to say if you contribute money and effort!
What the second aunt said, judging from the three brothers, this is a great thing.
Seeing that Chen Chunhua had no expression on his face, Lao Dao. "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
Chen Chunhua shook her head and said. "It's okay, I'm just thinking about the things in the town, come on, I'll think about it after the New Year first!"
On the night of the New Year, the family ate for a while. The pig water given by the owner of the butcher stall also happened to be eaten at night.
After the small year, you have to be busy with the whole year. Starting on the 27th, the boss started steaming white flour steamed buns, steaming nests, and wrapping buns.
At first, Chen Chunhua was also strange, and only after asking the boss did she know that for the New Year, she would repair it in the house for a few days, get the staple food as soon as possible, and when she ate it, she would fry a few swallowed vegetables.
Chen Chunhua doesn't understand either, just knowing, this is also a custom here.
The white flour steamed buns are easy to make, wrapping buns, Chen Chunhua is helping on the side, chopping the stuffing, and there are meat, pickles and Chinese cabbage in it, and the same ones are wrapped.
Chen Chunhua suddenly thought that she would not eat dumplings here during the New Year, and after thinking about it, she would put this point aside.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Chunhua and the three brothers sat around a table in the hall, and a brazier was placed under the table.
Chen Chunhua grew so big, never kept vigil, every family did not sleep on Chinese New Year's Eve, the little baby went to bed early, and the adults in the house all put aside a piece of nagging.
Seeing Chen Chunhua yawning again and again, the boss tightened the thick coat on her body and said. "Daughter-in-law, why don't you put the kang and go to sleep."
Chen Chunhua waved her hand. "No!" Naturally, there is a reason for customs, and she even appeared to be reborn, and the others followed all the way. Xu didn't have the habit of staying up late for too long, so he began to doze off after sitting for a while. "Big brother, are there any books or anything in the house?"
"Books? What book? When the boss heard this, he looked at the third child. Third, didn't you get a book in previous years, where did you put it? ”
"I'll look for it!" The third child got up and went to the back room, searched for a while, and pulled out a tattered and yellowed book from under the box.
Chen Chunhua took it and looked at it, saying that it was a book, but it was better to say that it was a booklet, the thickness of her fingers. She originally thought that she would know what the words on the side of the road looked like when the Spring Festival couplets were posted in the house, but she hadn't seen them post couplets until now. I asked to know that in this countryside, there is no habit of pasting Spring Festival couplets, there are not many literate people in the village, and it is useless to post them, and I don't know if they are good or bad, so I simply saved this money.
"This book is still given to me by Erzhuzi, and I can't read, so I don't know what is written on it!" The third child said, rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and sat down.
Chen Chunhua did not finish college before, and the next two years were self-studying. She can't recognize all the characters on the book, it is very complex and traditional, and she can only estimate it from the upper half of the font.
Flipped through it from beginning to end, looking at what was written on it, she probably saw what was written on it, raised her eyes to look at the third child, and said. "Third brother, is this an account book?"
"Alas, it's the account book, and the second pillar is doing this work, and he is dedicated to being the foreman of the owner." The foreman does not make any effort, just to give people a name for work. This third and the second pillar of the same year did not have the same life, the second pillar and the big pillar's father was the former village chief, now that he has gone, he is not to say, put aside the previous year, he lived well in the house, and the second pillar was literate with people.
"Daughter-in-law, how do you know this is an account book?" The second child watched Chen Chunhua read the book, and his face was happy, and he said. "Is the daughter-in-law literate?"
The boss glanced at the second child, the daughter-in-law is literate, can she still marry the third of them as a daughter-in-law? "Time and space are also fast, and when you hear the rooster crowing outside, you will lie down on the kang."
"I can't read, but I saw this thing in other people's houses in Chenjia Village." Chen Chunhua said, putting down the book. I don't know how to read, it's very troublesome, and she has to ask someone to see it.
"It's still early!" The second child's head turned quickly, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing. The daughter-in-law looks capable, very small, carrying a bucket of water, and swaying makes people feel distressed. The potatoes and melons in the stove should be stewed, and I will go and pick them out. ”
"Daughter-in-law, do you think it can be done, partner with someone." The boss has thought about it these days, he doesn't understand business, but he still knows the truth.
"I don't know!" When she asked her about this, she hadn't seen the owner yet, and she didn't know until she met and said.
The second child picked up a few stewed potatoes and melons from the stove, and they were hot and warm. After Chen Chunhua finished eating the potatoes and melons, she couldn't stand it and fell asleep on the table.
When she woke up, it was already dawn, and seeing that the three of them were not there, she hurriedly dressed and got off the kang.
Today is the first day of the new year, the boss is busy with lunch, and is going to enter the house to call Chen Chunhua, this time in, the two of them slammed into each other.
The boss didn't have anything to do, Chen Chunhua was miserable, the whole person fell to the ground, and the new clothes made for her by the third child were stained with dust.
"Daughter-in-law, where did you fall?" The boss hurriedly helped Chen Chunhua up and patted the dust on her body. Chen Chunhua's nose hurt and her teeth were red. "I'm fine, big brother, you're fine, right?"
"What can I do?" The boss helped Chen Chunhua, her small body has been here for so long, and it still hasn't grown. Not to mention that he is in a hurry, the three brothers are in a hurry.
Chen Chunhua looked at the way the boss pursed her lips and laughed. Sure enough, it was the New Year, she remembered the New Year when she was a child, and she fell like this in her grandmother's house, and that time she was miserable and grew a big bag of melon seeds.
The boss looked at Chen Chunhua and smiled, he was inexplicable, touched his face, and didn't touch his name. "Daughter-in-law, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just happy!" She was happy, happy a little sour. After thirty years, I have always been with Sister Chen, but I didn't expect to change people this time.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time to eat, I've eaten lunch and went to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings!" The boss said, pulling Chen Chunhua out of the house. Every relative in their house came and went, and they had to go to the village chief's house once a year.
Chen Chunhua sat down at the table, took the white-flour steamed bun and nibbled it, looking at the old avenue. "What about the second and third brothers?"
"They went to the house of the two pillars, and the two pillars came here today and passed together."
"What did you do in the past?"
"The second child said that he would follow the second pillar to work together after the New Year, and the third child wanted the second pillar to teach him to read."
After eating lunch, the boss took Chen Chunhua out of the door, and the snow outside also hardened, and it made a creaking sound when stepping on it.
After crossing the river, at a glance, the snow is white, which makes people feel good. But at this moment, Chen Chunhua didn't dare to play in the snow, the snow on the ground was hard, and her hands were even more frozen.
