The Songpo Tun New Year's greetings lasted almost half the morning, until the sun was about to rise overhead, and the number of people who came to pay New Year's greetings was fewer, and Dashan, Xiaoshi and Mother also returned to their homes one after another.

I got up early in the morning, and I have been busy for so long, and everyone's stomach is screaming.

However, the meals eaten yesterday on the Chinese New Year's Eve were specially made according to the usual practice, and at noon on the first day of the new year, as long as the meal was warmed up, it could be served on the table.

Everyone sat around the dinner table, while eating the meal, Daddy and Dashan and Xiaoshi talked about the interesting things they encountered during the New Year's greetings, but I didn't expect that Xiaozhu because of the fact that she didn't celebrate the New Year at home with Steward Zhang was processed by Sister-in-law Qiu and became a capable Xiaozhu to go to her mother's house to help, because of this incident, Sister-in-law Qiu's image of harshly scolding the little uncle changed suddenly, and it became that she valued the little uncle, and even entrusted the affairs of her mother's family to Xiaozhu to do.

Yun Fang couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard this, a thing is really multifaceted and multi-angled, it depends on what the person who said it said, and how the person who listened to it was willing to understand.

After eating a meal, Yun Hua, who has always disliked talking too much, suddenly opened her mouth, "Fang girl, now everyone is here, can you tell the third grandmother what you said?"

The mother was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "What is the matter with the third grandmother looking for Fang'er? When we went to their house for the New Year, she didn't show up at all?"

"Maybe there were a lot of people at that time, and it was inconvenient for the third grandmother to say. Yun Fang hurriedly explained, and then explained in detail what the third grandmother said to her.

After listening to Yun Fang's words, everyone was a little silent for a while.

After thinking for a while, my mother seemed to be talking to herself, "The big fat pig in his early forties, the fixed price is almost more than 800 yuan." ”

"Let's take over the business of Steward Zhang, and we don't have to worry about setting the money," Dad thought about it, suddenly turned his head, and asked, "Girl Fang, you said that there is a way to save fresh pork, how sure are you about this?"

Dad asked the idea in a word, now they are not short of funds, after catching up with Zhang Danian, the old shop of Fuxiang, the sales do not seem to have to worry too much, now the key to the problem is technology - can Yun Fang be sure that as she said, the fresh pork is marinated into ham that can be preserved for a long time! If this cannot be guaranteed, everything else is floating clouds, floating clouds!

With the example of successfully boiling salt and pickling radish, Yun Fang carefully recalled the steps of marinating ham meat that she had mastered in her heart, and her heart gradually became firm, she nodded solemnly, and said seriously, "Although I am not completely sure, I am still ninety percent sure." ”

Listening to Yun Fang's words, Dad thought for a long time with a calm face, waved his hand vigorously, and made up his mind, "Then we will accept the matter of the third grandmother, that is, the pork can't be marinated well, let's take the fresh pork to the county to sell, there are many rich people there, and there are some people who come and go from the north to do business, let's take the pork there to sell, and it won't all be lost!"

"Okay," the mother also nodded proudly, "Just listen to you, I don't believe what Li Minghua can do, our family can't do it!"

It turned out that my mother was also stimulated by Li Jinrong's mother blocking the road and scolding people, and she also had the idea of competing with others, so she was much more courageous than usual.

The family discussed it, and the matter was settled.

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, the first thing the Lan family did when they got up was to make a good breakfast, first offer it to their ancestors, and then hold high the lit pine incense again, and send the ancestors back to the ancestral tomb with firecrackers all the way.

At this time, the mother took Yun Fang to clean up the offering table, carefully rolled up the family tree, put it in a soft earthy yellow cover, and hung it high on the back beam of the main house facing the door.

And when Yunhua was together in the morning, she took the dishes and white rice that her mother had prepared for her to go to Xiaoshi's grass shed, and Xiao Shi was still in his own grass shed last night to take care of the incense on the table of the ancestors of the Shi family, and did not stay in the Lan family to rest.

On the second day of the first month, everyone happily sent their ancestors, cleaned up a yard of sesame stalks, the highlight of the New Year was over, after lunch, my father rushed to the third grandmother's house, told the third grandmother of his decision, and asked her to hand over the letter to the fruit king, but did not say the fixed time, but it was generally agreed that before the tenth day of the first month, the Lan family would personally go to the fruit king, and then do this matter.

On the third day of the first lunar month, everyone began to go to relatives, and according to the practice of previous years, my father made an appointment with Uncle Lan Qingji, and took Dashan and Jin Feng to their relatives at their grandmother's house.

And uncle Guo Bowen rushed over to pay New Year's greetings to his sister, and his mother carefully asked about the situation between them and the old three guns during the New Year, knowing that although the old three guns were a little unwilling, they still didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Guo Siye and the villagers, and a year was considered stable.

Mother then put her mind at ease, and heard that their family was not willing to buy meat for the New Year, that is, the last time back to the mountains and small stones to bring those dishes to eat the New Year, the mother quickly distressed the family braised pork and lotus root tongs brought over, before leaving and brought him some, said that it was for the children to taste, but also to entertain people when they came to relatives at home, don't be too shabby.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, my mother took Dashan, Yunhua and Yunfang to Guojiazhuang to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle's family. Because Steward Zhang left the carriage and horses, they saved their feet this time, Dashan drove the car, and the mother took Yunfang and Yunhua to sit in the car, and went to Guojiazhuang with laughter all the way.

Xiao Si saw Brother Dashan coming, jumped happily, and asked why Brother Xiaoshi didn't come together, while asking, he took Dashan's hand and ran to his yard, saying that he had something to say to Brother Dashen.

Dashan had to hand over the whip in his hand to his uncle, and then ran towards his uncle's house with Xiao Si's pull.

Li Yuzhen saw the Lan family coming in a magnificent carriage, her envious eyes turned around, she turned her head and pursed her lips, and muttered in a low voice, "All day long, the family said that their family business is not rich, not rich, but they are not ambiguous at all when they buy a carriage and horses, and they buy such a set of grand ones silently, and those who don't know think that their family is doing a big deal!"

The uncle on the side hurriedly pulled Li Yuzhen's sleeve, and secretly glanced at his sister's family with a normal look in his eyes, and then whispered to Li Yuzhen, "You can say a few words, our family was blackmailed by the third cannon a few years ago, and it wasn't the hole that my sister took out the money to fill for us? They are now selling radish strips everywhere, how can they do it without a carriage? Our own mess and our own mess, let's just take care of ourselves!"

"You ......" Li Yuzhen wanted to say something more, but she saw Lao Sanpao smile and greet the flower woman and walked over, glancing at them as she walked, pointing in her hand, as if she was talking about them.

Li Yuzhen thought about it, and finally swallowed the complaint that came to her mouth, and closed her mouth a little angrily, but she still glanced at the Lan family's carriage with some unwillingness.

In fact, Li Yuzhen's muttering has also heard some of it. She had expected Li Yuzhen to gossip before she came, and she was ready to respond to her words. It's just that she didn't expect that Li Yuzhen was so uncomposed, she muttered before they entered the door, and she was not afraid of being heard by outsiders.

The anger in my mother's heart came up all of a sudden. It's just that in order not to let the neighbors see the joke, she tried to keep a smiling face, but the hand hidden under the sleeve clenched tightly angrily.

The stiffness and slight trembling of the mother's body, Yun Hua and Yun Fang around her naturally felt it.

Yun Fang couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, she had long been displeased with this cheap aunt who couldn't figure it out, her mother was patient with her everywhere for her younger brother, and helped her with everything, but in exchange for her getting an inch again and again, she was really a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised.
