It's the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye, and no matter whether you have money or not, every household is making zongzi according to customs. Shen's mother's rice dumplings are well-wrapped is well-known in the village, and many people come to Shen's mother to learn how to make zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, and a few come to buy them.

"Her aunt, it's a shame that you gritted your teeth and married Bicao into the door, and now your family is getting better and better." The person who spoke was Aunt Wang from the village, and her mouth was notoriously fast in the village. Looking at the fence in the yard, which was full of melons and fruits, it was only a long time, and the Shen family's life was slowly getting better, and the village was saying that this was the lucky star that the Shen family married Liu Bicao.

"But no, I will still see the disease, and the color of my brother and sister is much better than before." Aunt Wang's cousin-in-law Zhou took the words, and there was some envy in her words, her two unconscious daughters-in-law were compared to one in the sky and the other in the ground.

Mother Shen is not a person who can compare, she just smiled when she heard it. But these words are still very useful in my heart, since Bicao entered the door two months ago, the family has changed a lot.

The two little ones have some flesh on their faces, and they have grown a little taller, and their bodies are much better, and Bicao is diligent in their hands and feet, and they are clean inside and out, and they can see diseases, and they can still make money.

At this time, Bicao, who was helping Lizheng's grandson to see the sick at Lizheng's house, didn't know that he was being praised.

"Daughter-in-law of the Su family, how is my eldest grandson?" Lizheng's daughter-in-law asked anxiously, her eldest grandson accidentally fell into the water yesterday, and he started to heat up that night.

"Don't worry, it's no big deal, it's just not winter, and the water in the pool is not cold." As he spoke, he prepared the herbs he brought from home and handed them to his eldest daughter-in-law, who had been crying beside him.

Liu Bicao took the twenty-five yuan given by Lizheng, ten eggs and a fish, and met his third aunt on the way.

"Bicao is going to see a doctor again?" He Shi looked at Liu Bicao and knew that he was holding something in his hand. Liu Bicao treats people, and some people at home will give some money, after all, the herbs are picked by Liu Bicao on the mountain, and some families will save eggs or eat at home.

"Where is the third aunt?" Liu Bicao was very happy to see the He family, after all, she was good to her in the Liu family, that is, the third uncle's family.

He Shi carried the basket, "It's not the Dragon Boat Festival, it's coming, go to Shanghe Village to deliver zongzi." "He's maiden home is in Shanghe Village, and Liu Bicao knows that He's is a gift to go back to his parents' house to send the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Bicao, where is your Dragon Boat Festival gift sent to your father, don't let the village gossip."

Bicao nodded, even if she didn't want to return to the Liu family, according to the rules, the Dragon Boat Festival should also be a gift.

Back at home, the aunts and sisters-in-law who learned to make zongzi in the Shen family had not left, Liu Bicao greeted each other before putting the eggs and vegetables into the kitchen, and went to the room to put the money away before going to the chicken pen to see the chickens.

The chicks were hatched from the eggs at home a month ago, and Shen He took good care of them every day, and took Shen Jinyan to the field every day to find earthworms to feed. Liu Bicao planned to wait for the chicks to grow up and move to the bamboo forest behind, and then hatch the chicks.

"Sister-in-law, come on." The Chen family next door has always had a good relationship with the Shen family, and the daughter-in-law of the Chen family came to the door half a year ago, and she is very hearty, and she also gets along well with Liu Bicao.

Liu Bicao went to wash her hands before walking over and looked at the zongzi she wrapped: "Xiuling, your hands are really clever, the zongzi wrapped are really good-looking." Xiuling is the name of the daughter-in-law of the Chen family.

"Who doesn't know, Bicao, your hands are really skillful, you can see diseases, embroider, and eat. Which daughter-in-law in this village has your skillful hand? ”

Before Xiuling could speak, she was picked up by Aunt Wang, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was sour. The others couldn't answer when they heard it, so they just buried their heads in the work at hand.

Liu Bicao just smiled, she didn't expect that if she said a word in her yard, it would attract so many sour words. There are more or less people in the village who are blushing at the Shen family, Liu Bicao can't help but be a little funny, take the zongzi wrapped by Shen's mother, and wrap it with the red thread.

"Auntie, look at it, it's also a coincidence that I wrap this zongzi thread with my hand." Liu Bicao handed the zongzi to Aunt Wang's eyes, not in a hurry or impatient, her voice was still as gentle as ever, and she looked at her with a smile.

Aunt Wang's old face was red, she didn't know what to say, and her face was a little stiff and smiled.

No one spoke for a while, and the Chen family's aunt saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your family's zongzi will definitely be sold at a good price this year." "The Shen family's zongzi have to go to the town to sell every year, which is known to everyone in the village.

When everyone heard this, they all joked that the thread wrapped in Liu Bicao was good-looking, and many daughters-in-law asked Liu Bicao to teach, and for a while, the courtyard of the Shen family was lively again.

When it was time to make dinner, everyone left in twos and threes. Liu Bicao was busy going to the stove room to prepare the family's dinner, and Shen's mother and Shen Mei, who came back from the field, cleaned the yard.

"Sister-in-law, where did the fish come from at home?" As soon as Shen Mei came back, she saw a fish in the wooden basin in the yard, which was not small.

Liu Bicao heard the voice and came out: "That's when I went to Lizheng's house to help Lizheng's grandson see a doctor, and Lizheng's family sent it." ”

"Sister-in-law, when are we going to eat fish?" Shen Jinyan raised his head and asked. These days, the family can occasionally eat meat, and Shen Jinyan has become a little more bold when facing the green grass.

"When the big brother comes back tomorrow, I'll eat the fish." Shen Jinxin came in carrying the water and happened to hear Shen Jinyan's words.

Shen Jinqian has been in the army for two or three years, and has also practiced martial arts on the battlefield, not only is he a good hunter, but sometimes he also helps the town's dart bureau to dart. This time, I went out with the dart game.

It was another day before Shen Jinqian came back, and brought a string of rock sugar gourds to the two little ones at home, making the two little ones jump with joy. Liu Bicao didn't get angry because she didn't bring anything for herself, so she hurriedly went into the kitchen to boil water and asked Shen Jinqian to wash it well.

The fish in the pot was also spit out of the silt, and it was just right to stew and eat, and he commanded: "Plum, go outside and pick a melon and come in." Shen Mei responded crisply.

Liu Bicao divided the fish into two, and half of it was eaten with melon, and the two younger ones in the family liked to eat this dish. Half of it is used to make sauerkraut fish, and it just so happens that the sauerkraut made with shepherd's cabbage at home can be eaten, and Liu Bicao put a few chili peppers in it, and the weather is hot, which improves the taste.

When Shen's father and Shen Jinxin came back from the field, the family sat together and began to eat with laughter.

"Boss, Bicao, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, you can go to Liu's house tomorrow morning to send a festival gift." Shen's mother knew that Liu Bicao didn't want to go back to the Liu family, the Shen family and the Liu family were both from the same village, not far away, and Liu Bicao had not gone to the Liu family since they got married in the past few days, except for the day they returned to the door.

Liu Bicao didn't say anything, nodded, if she could, she would rather never set foot in the Liu family for the rest of her life.

"Yo, what a rare guest" Su Jinqian and Liu Bicao stepped into the courtyard of the Liu family, and the eldest aunt of the Liu family, Zhou, spoke up and asked everyone in the house to come out.

Wang came out of the room with his youngest son Liu Xiaobao in his arms, put Xiaobao on the ground, and let him play by himself.

"I still know that when I come back, I thought you forgot that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and if you have your mother-in-law's family, you will forget your mother's family."

Zhou's look at the excitement is not a big deal: "That's it, Bi girl, which family's daughter doesn't help her mother's family when she marries, look at your eldest sister, the festival was sent a few days ago, and there are a few catties of meat." ”

Liu Bicao didn't say anything, and motioned for Shen Jinqian to take out the rituals in the back basket.

Zhou and Wang hurriedly stepped forward, turned over the back basket to look, and saw that there were not only zongzi, but also pheasants and hares, and the two of them took the things into the stove room with satisfaction. The Liu family is not separated, everything is together, seeing that there is meat to eat, the Zhou family is in a good mood, so naturally they will not say what Liu Bicao said.

But Wang's daughter Liu Xiuzhi and her two sons were not happy, so they went directly to the back basket, and when they saw that there were no snacks in it, Liu Dabao began to cry and make a fuss.

Shen Jinqian watched coldly at Liu Dabao sitting on the ground, rolling and kicking.

"How did you become a sister? Ah, your own brother wants to eat some snacks and you don't buy them. Wang came out of the stove room and kicked Liu Bicao's foot when he stepped forward.

Shen Jinqian quickly pulled Liu Bicao behind him. Wang kicked the ball into the air and fell to the ground.

"unfilial daughter, I raised you, and now that you grow up, this is how you treat me, everyone come and see, unfilial daughter." Wang simply sat on the ground, calling for the sky and grabbing the ground, Liu Xiaobao saw his mother crying, and he also opened his throat and cried, and for a while the Liu family heard the sound before and after.

Zhou came out of the stove room for a while, and looked at the mother and son sitting on the ground with disdain: "Okay, Bi girl, you and your uncle will go back first."

Liu Bicao has been in the Liu family for more than ten years and knows what the Zhou family is like. The big right and wrong are still clearly distinguished, but people are greedy for small gains, and only do things that are beneficial to themselves, not a person who falls into the ground. I just got the benefits of Liu Bicao, and I will definitely help her speak.

Seeing that Liu Bicao and Shen Jinqian were gone, the Zhou family didn't care about her, she got up from the ground by herself, patted the ashes on her buttocks and entered the kitchen, afraid that the Zhou family would hide the good things and swallow them by herself.
