Mom clenched her fists angrily: "It must have been passed on by your uncle's family, obviously they bullied us, and they actually scolded people in turn!" ”

"As for being angry, I don't even take it to heart. Mom, let's cook dumplings! I said with a smile.

"Nizi, you really don't feel anything at all?" She looked at me in amazement.

"Why care? They scolded me, I can't lose a piece of meat, I have the ability to scold it in front of me, will I be afraid of her? I don't even care. ”

"But you ......"

I smiled and pulled my mom up: "I know what you have to say!" I'm seventeen years old after the New Year, and it's time to find my in-laws, but my reputation is like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married! It's okay, I can always find someone who doesn't care about rumors and knows my essence, even if I can't find it, I want to live happily, you don't have to worry about me! ”

"You kid ......" Mom sighed helplessly, but she was obviously much more relaxed.

Although it was two people, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was quite hearty, I made meatball soup, got a fish, and froze the skin of the fish, fried peanuts, my mother used cabbage and shredded potatoes with vermicelli to make cold dishes, and a chili scrambled egg.

There are also steaming dumplings on the table, and there is the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, which is very angry about the New Year.

As soon as I sat down, I suddenly remembered, "Do we need to buy some wine too?" I'll go to the entrance of the village to get a little bit. ”

"Forget it! You don't drink it, I don't drink it either, and it's a waste to buy it back. I smiled and grabbed her: "Mom! I think this year is the happiest year. ”

Mom also nodded: "I'm also very happy, and it will get better and better in the future." ”

We didn't have a TV at home, so the two of us laughed and finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and my mother and I leaned together to make sweaters.

Last time, my mother wanted to make me a sweater, I thought about it, and simply separated the wool from her, plus a small one before to make a shoulder, I and her alone, it was considered to be a new dress for the New Year.

This year, we don't have to go to my uncle's house to be a cow or a horse, cook and serve them, so it's very leisurely.

It wasn't until late that the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another outside, which was deafening, so I took my mother out to watch the flowers.

The weather was not cold, so my mother and I walked around the village, and the air was full of the smell of all kinds of vegetables, and the people of every household brought out the best food.

Some children from poor families vomited outside because they ate too much.

From time to time, children rushed past us, holding cannons in their hands, and ping-pong sounded.

Many people came out to see the flowers, and everyone was kind when they met. When I passed by Zheng Sisi's house, I hesitated for a moment and pulled my mother around.

Mom sighed: "I don't know what happened to you, just separated?" ”

I laughed, "She's been angry with me, don't bother her." ”

Several wealthy families in the village have set off a lot of fireworks, and the sky is also purple and red, which is very enjoyable to watch. We don't have that much money to get this.

On the way back, we bumped into a few people, young people from the village, all chattering and laughing together.

He Jing, Zheng Sisi, and Yang Yu, in addition to Jiang Hua and Luo Xiaoya last time, also went, they all wore new cotton jackets, and looked at the spirit of Bei'er one by one, of course, there should be a new atmosphere for the New Year.

Mom took my hand and tightened it, only I was wearing an old padded jacket that I didn't know how many times I had washed.

I smiled, not caring about this at all.

Walking at the end were Bai Lan and Liu Zhijian, who kept their heads down and laughing.

Yang Yu kept currying favor with Luo Xiaoya, and they didn't notice my existence.

A few children greeted my mother, Zheng Sisi just snorted and turned her head away, and I didn't plan to go over to say hello, but she was so cold to my mother, I was really a little disappointed.

Luo Xiaoya and Jiang Hua laughed together: "It's you, Nizi, are you looking at the flowers here?" Let's play together, right? ”

I smiled and said, "My mom and I went out for a walk to digest and digest food." Go on, we're going back. ”

"He Jing, she's your relative, why don't you talk to her?" Jiang Hua said curiously.

He Jing smiled: "Didn't I notice it?" Second aunt, cousin, have you finished eating? ”

"Yes, cousin, how is your family having a good New Year? Why haven't you seen the eldest sister? I laughed. We're both pretty good at it.

"Du Sanzhuang and his mother came to my house. It wasn't interesting to say that the two of them were lonely in the city, so my eldest sister accompanied me. ”

I smiled and said, "If you can go to my father-in-law's house for the New Year, how much more face-saving my eldest sister has!" ”

He Jing smiled faintly: "Hmm." Brought a lot of fish and shrimp. "She is a smart person, the matter was so big before, Li Wanyun still has a big belly now, and I don't know how they will get it in the future.

I didn't get married, so I went to the woman's house for the New Year, and if the marriage didn't work out, I don't know what her sister's reputation would become. This is Du Sanzhuang's mother's trick, making it difficult for her to ride a tiger, and there is no way to get out of the marriage.

In front of outsiders, I naturally won't say this, and I picked a few good words.

Zheng Sisi suddenly said: "Let's go, I'm so cold!" ”

"Okay. Let's go first. Zhou Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying hello, they walked over from the opposite side.

I didn't see Liu Zhijian, this kid didn't know where to run with Bai Lan for a long time.

Although the matter between him and Bai Lan was rumored, the two of them still didn't care.

Mom said: "Carpenter Liu's family doesn't object to the two of them? ”

"Well, Wang Xiuhua has always been able to speak well, so it should be easy for the other party to believe it."

"Whatever, what young people think now, I can't control this old lady."

I smiled and said, "Mom, you're not old, why are you talking like that." In this life, I will definitely make you happy. ”

Mom smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Back home, my mother burned the kang very warm, and the two of us lay comfortably on the kang, in the past and present life, for the first time in the Chinese New Year's Eve, so comfortable.

The next day, my mom and I didn't go out, so we just sat there and knitted yarn. When I have free time, I go out for a walk.

Mom suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "Nizi, I found that you are grumpy, and I am a lot more relaxed." ”

I grinned and said, "No, so it's better to have a bigger temper." ”

Mom thought for a while and said, "Nizi, we have to go back to your grandmother's house once tomorrow." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, everything is ready anyway, let's go back." ”

"Hmm." Mom hesitated for a moment and then said, "If your uncle says something to you, just bear with it, and we don't have to eat at your grandmother's house, just say hello." Don't always quarrel during the Chinese New Year. ”

I nodded, "Okay, I know, it's okay." ”

My uncle Li Jiang is a very mean and tall man, since he was admitted to school, he has been tired of us incompetent relatives, and every time we go to my grandmother's house, we are unhappy. In the previous life, when we went for the Chinese New Year, because we didn't bring anything, and my mother was still sick, he was noisy and unlucky, and came over to eat, and grandma and grandpa also quarreled with him because of this incident.

I cried in fright, my uncle pointed to my mom and told us to get out, and my mom led me away with tears in her eyes.

Those memories are engraved in my heart, I really have a headache, I don't want to go, but I do miss my grandparents very much, and how can there be a reason not to go back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, otherwise I will be paid attention to death, so I have to go.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, my mother pulled me up from the kang: "You should wear this today." ”

When I saw the red coat on the side of the kang, I was startled: "Mom, when are you...... Clothes to buy? How much is it? ”

"When I got married, your father gave it to me, I made people smaller a while ago, anyway, the style is old and can't wear it, I wanted to wear it for you a few days ago, but it was too cold, and I just watched it today. Wear it when you go out! "I was touched and felt sorry for my mother, this was her only good dress.

I must be indignant and strive to be strong, and honor her well in the future.

My mother and I washed up briefly, warmed up the dumplings from last night and ate them, and went out with the canned food and the pine nuts we found in the mountains.

I'm wearing the coat she gave me, and she's wearing the same padded jacket she wore last night. I gave her the newly made shoulders, and she was dressed in good spirits, and the two of us were wearing newly made cotton shoes on our feet, which were very warm.

When we walked to the entrance of the village, I happened to see Liao Qiang carrying a net of canned food and cakes and walking diagonally opposite us.

When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, obviously not recognizing me.

He smiled at us and said, "Auntie, Nizi, you have to go out." ”

I said, "yes, you're coming over and playing?" ”

Liao Qiang nodded with a smile and looked at me again: "Nizi, your clothes are so beautiful." ”

I was stunned, and my mother was a little surprised.

Liao Qiang's mouth opened, and then he blushed: "No, I'm actually... I don't know how to greet you..."

"Go ahead." My mother smiled: "It's the New Year, I have to change my clothes." ”

"Good!" Liao Qiang ran away like he was running for his life.

I couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with him, he doesn't owe us money." ”

Mom looked at me and didn't speak.

My grandmother's family lives in the next village, not far from our house, and the land on their side is relatively poor, so basically the yield of crops is very low, just by planting a little dry tobacco and other cash crops, so every family is not very rich, and it is considered a high marriage if my mother marries my father.

When we went to the path of my grandmother's house, we saw a group of young people talking and laughing at the intersection, and there was Du Ruoruo inside.

She was wearing a white coat, and her hair was no longer braided, but tied into a ponytail, which was very fashionable. The imprint of the village people on her body has gradually disappeared, and she has transformed into an authentic city girl.
