Chapter 16, Chinese New Year 2

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Liu Bicao endured the pain and got up, glaring at the man who had been washed next to her while getting dressed.

Shen's mother had already gotten up, making vegetarian dumplings in the kitchen, Liu Bicao cleaned up and went to the kitchen to help Shen's mother, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wrapped the vegetarian dumplings neatly, the water was boiled, put the dumplings into the pot, and waited for them to be cooked and scooped up.

"Today, on the first day of the new year, after breakfast, let's go to the temple and eat quickly." Mother Shen quickly finished eating the dumplings, and after explaining, she went to prepare the things in the temple.

"Mother, are we going to have vegetarian rice in the temple at noon today?" Shen Mei helped Liu Bicao wash and dry the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the cabinet.

There is an Anjia temple in Anjia Village, not far from Dahe Village, which is very effective, every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in the nearby villages will go to worship the Buddha and ask for blessings, and the Shen family will go every year, and they will also have vegetarian rice in the temple at noon, so Shen Mei will have this question.

Mother Shen nodded: "It's still in the temple to eat, don't come back at noon, let's walk back slowly in the afternoon." Shen's mother filmed the version, and the others naturally had no opinion, and after cleaning up, the family went to the entrance of the village.

There is an ox cart at the entrance of the village to Anjia Temple, which is the case every year, and this year is no exception.

Wait until the ox cart can no longer sit down, then go to the Anjia Temple leisurely, and the ox cart will arrive at the gate of the Anjia Temple after almost half an hour.

"Let's go, let's go to the Guanyin Hall first, and go to worship the son Guanyin." Shen's mother's words made Liu Bicao blush, quietly glanced at Shen Jinqian, did not refute, and followed Shen's mother to the Guanyin Palace.

Shen's mother bowed three times to Guanyin, who sent her son, before kneeling on the mat, with words in her mouth, Liu Bicao also wanted to have a child with Shen Jinqian, and sincerely knelt down and begged to have a child.

"Sister, auntie." As soon as I came out of the Guanyin Temple, I met Liu Qingzhu.

"Qingzhu, auntie, you are here." Liu Bicao saw that she hadn't seen Liu Qingzhu for some days, and now she was very happy to see her sister.

"Sister, will we be tomorrow?" Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it stands to reason that it is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home, Liu Bicao and Liu Qingzhu don't want to go back, for them, it is not their mother's home.

Liu Bicao thought about it, if she doesn't go to the Liu family tomorrow, I'm afraid that many people will gossip, and she doesn't care about these gossips, but the Shen family and Liu Boan will also be pointed at by the villagers.

"Let's go to Liu's house tomorrow to send the New Year's gift, and then let's go to the third uncle and third aunt's house." Liu Bicao took her sister's hand, and after the two said where they would go tomorrow, they separated.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Bicao waited for Shen Jinqian, who went to the river to release the animals, to come back before taking Liu Boan to Liu's house.

"Yo, what a rare guest, my aunt and grandmother are back." As soon as she arrived in the courtyard of the Liu family, Wang's mean words came out, Liu Bicao ignored her, went straight to the hall, and put the New Year's ceremony on the table in the hall.

Liu Qingzhu also came back with Zhou Cheng at this time, and like Liu Bicao, he put the New Year's ceremony on the table in the hall, Shen Jinqian and Zhou Cheng did not go in, and the two stood in the courtyard.

Liu Erlei went to Shen's house to borrow food a few years ago, and now he is a little embarrassed to see Shen Jinqian, standing far away from them, and he doesn't go over, and the two sons-in-law don't pay attention to the old man.

As soon as Liu Boan wanted to enter the hall to call the two sisters, he heard Liu Qingzhu in the hall exclaim, Zhou Chengcheng entered the hall on horseback, and Shen Jinqian was worried that something would happen to Liu Bicao, so he also followed. The last to go in were Liu Boan and Liu Erlei.

"Qingzhu, are you okay?" Zhou Cheng anxiously pulled Liu Qingzhu to see if he was injured, Liu Qingzhu shook his head: "I'm fine, yes, sister." ”

Shen Jinqian, who had just stepped into the house, heard Liu Qingzhu's words and asked Liu Bicao worriedly: "Where are you hurt?" ”

"Sister's hand was burned, brother-in-law is sorry, it should have been mine."

Shen Jinqian took Liu Bicao's hand, saw that the back of his hand was red, his face immediately sank, and he looked at the Wang family on the side: "What's the matter?" ”

When Wang heard Shen Jinqian's voice as cold as ice slag, he was instantly a little scared, and his voice trembled a little: "Don't blame me, she burned it herself." ”

"Really?" Shen Jinqian naturally didn't believe it, turned his head and asked Liu Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, you say." ”

Seeing that his brother-in-law asked himself, he had long wanted to say about Liu Qingzhu's 1510 and said: "Sister A and I just put the New Year's gift on the table, Liu Xiuzhi said that we don't care about her life or death, picked up the hot water and splashed it at us, Sister A blocked it for me, and it was so hot that my hands were burned." ”

Liu Xiuzhi didn't say that she hated the fact that she didn't borrow food a year ago, but a little girl was so vicious that she poured hot water on people with hot water, which is true.

"It seems that you have forgotten what I said before?" Shen Jinqian stared at Wang tightly, Wang remembered what happened when he came to him years ago, and was frightened: "No matter what happens to me, she splashed it, not me." ”

"Mother, you asked me to do this, mother, why don't you admit it." Liu Xiuzhi couldn't believe it, her mother pushed the matter on herself and picked her clean.

"Let's go." Liu Bicao really didn't want to see their faces, so she pulled Shen Jinqian outside.

"Bicao, I ......" Liu Erlei didn't know what to say to his three children, Xu remembered the past, remembered that the three children had a hard time, looked at the distant back and muttered: "It's that I can't live with you." ”

was injured during the Chinese New Year, and Liu Bicao was not in the mood to go out, so she returned to Shen's house and asked Shen Mei to rub medicine for herself, so she stayed in the hall and said this to Liu Qingzhu.

"It's really vicious, no, my family can't be bullied like this, I'll go to her." Mother Shen looked at Liu Bicao's hands flushed, angry and distressed, "What's the matter with you?" Just watching his daughter-in-law get hurt? What do you want you to have? ”

"Mother, I'm fine." Liu Bicao saw that Shen's mother got up and wanted to go to the Liu family, so she hurriedly grabbed her, it was better to have more things for the New Year, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the Liu family.

Shen's mother was helpless, glared at Shen Jinqian reproachfully, turned her head to Liu Qingzhu and said, "Qingzhu, I'll eat at my aunt's house at noon." ”

The second day of the Lunar New Year was supposed to be the day to go back to my parents' home, but now there is no mother's home. But there was no reason to eat at her brother-in-law's house, so Liu Qingzhu refused again and again.

"Okay, let's not care about those, this is your sister's house, can't your sister's house be your mother's house?" After Shen's mother finished speaking, she called Shen Mei to the kitchen, leaving the two sisters to talk in the hall by themselves.

"Sister, your mother-in-law is so good to you." Liu Qingzhu waited for Shen's mother to come out of the house, and then whispered in Liu Bicao's ear, "Brother-in-law is good to you." ”

Shen's mother stayed with Liu Qingzhu to eat naturally because she loved Liu Bicao, and even Shen Jinqian, who didn't have a smile on anyone, was also kind to Liu Qingzhu, and she was even more disciplined by Liu Boan as her own brother.

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, Jinxin is in trouble." As soon as Liu Boan returned to Shen's house, he went out with Shen Jinxin, and now he came back happily and complained about schadenfreude.

"What's the trouble?" Shen Jinqian was talking to Zhou Cheng and stood up with a frown, but seeing that Liu Boan did not look anxious, he was not in a hurry.

Liu Boan laughed a few times before he spoke: "He and Second Brother Chen had a fight by the river, and their clothes and pants were torn after losing the battle. ”

"Okay, you Liu Boan, you said that you would come back and get me clothes, but you sued me behind my back." As soon as Liu Boan finished speaking, Shen Jinxin's angry voice came from the door, and he wanted to pounce on Liu Boan as he spoke, but he was frightened by Shen Jinqian's words and stood obediently, not daring to move.

"Lost?" Shen Jinqian* glanced at him and asked slowly.

Shen Jinxin, who was despised by his own brother, of course didn't do it, and explained urgently: "How is it possible, I will lose?" ”

"Why are the clothes and pants torn? I tore it for you? ”

At this time, Shen Jinxin was speechless, and hesitated: "That's ..... That's what I let him do. ”

Liu Bicao looked funny, that is the second son of the Chen family is one year older than Shen Jinxin, and he is tall, he grew up with Shen Jinxin since he was a child, although the relationship between the two families is very close, but these two boys are not pleasing to anyone, and I don't know how many fights they have.

"Okay, let Jinxin change her clothes, don't catch a cold." Liu Bicao said.

Shen Jinxin saw that his sister-in-law had spoken, and he was not afraid of his eldest brother, so he dragged Liu Boan, who was watching the show, back to the room to change clothes.

"A loving mother has many defeated children." Shen Jinqian turned his head and said a word to Liu Bicao. Liu Bicao was so angry that she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Liu Qingzhu touched Liu Bicao with his hand: "Sister, brother-in-law, how anxious you are to have a child, I want to think about it now." ”

"What nonsense?" Liu Bicao glared at her sister embarrassedly, but thinking that if she had a child in the future, she would make a mistake and be a father's lesson, and she would be protected by her mother, thinking about this picture Liu Bicao really wanted the child to come early.

Shen's father, who took Shen He and Shen Jinyan out for a walk and came back, saw Liu Qingzhu and Zhou Cheng at home, and learned that he wanted to stay for dinner, so he went out to drink again, and was ready to have a good drink.

"Uncle, don't break the bank." Zhou Cheng hurriedly connected, and he was embarrassed to stay and eat.

Father Shen waved his hand and asked him to sit down: "What's the cost, it's nothing to drink some wine during the New Year, when this is my home, the boss will accompany me well, and I will go back when I go." So saying, he went out.

Shen He had also seen Liu Qingzhu before, and knew that this was his sister-in-law's sister, so he called his sister sensibly, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang by himself, crooked in Liu Bicao's arms, and listened to the two talking.

Liu Bicao touched her little hand a little cold, rubbed her with her own hand, and as soon as she warmed Shen He's habit of sleeping, she fell asleep in a daze while holding Liu Bicao.

"This?" Liu Qingzhu's eyes straightened, this is a sister-in-law, she is obviously taking her daughter.

Liu Bicao was accustomed to Shen He's dependence, and smiled at Liu Qingzhu's surprise: "Don't you feel like you're taking your daughter?" ”

"Hmph, Sister didn't take me like this when I was a child." Liu Qingzhu deliberately snorted lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Liu Bicao, but in fact, looking at this scene, he was really happy for Liu Bicao.

"Okay, what a big man." Liu Bicao glanced at her sister, and softly called Shen Jinqian to come over and hug Shen He tightly to the house to sleep.
