People are pressed for New Year's money.

The New Year's money was planned by Guo Mianmian, and after consulting Zheng Rin's suggestion, he gave his parents-in-law twenty taels of silver. If these twenty taels of silver were used only on themselves, it would be more than enough to spend a year.

Guo Mianmian gave so much because he was worried that the second elder would have an urgent need one day, and it would be difficult for him to reach out to his daughter-in-law to ask for silver, so he deliberately planned so much.

In fact, according to the custom of this period, the money was carried in the hands of the person with the highest rank in the family, and this had nothing to do with separation. At this time, Old Man Zheng and Meng did not claim the financial power of the family, and usually did not ask Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin for silver, whether it was out of filial piety or otherwise, this amount of silver must be given.

"Oh, why do you want so much, you have a lot of places to spend money, go back to the cage quickly." Looking at the heavy purse, Meng guessed that there was a lot of silver in it, so he hurriedly waved his hand and refused to accept it.

Guo Mianmian stood up, smiled and put the purse in her mother-in-law's hand: "Mother, usually you and your father are tired in this family, and I, who is a daughter-in-law, can't take anything to honor my father, so I only have this silver, if you don't accept it, my daughter-in-law is not good." ”

When Meng Shi, who still wanted to refuse, heard this, he said angrily: "You child, there is no more filial daughter-in-law in our family than you, even if you take it to the village, you can't find someone more intimate than you, your filial piety, we two old people see it in our eyes!" ”

When Guo Mianmian heard this, he said cheekily: "Then you should accept these New Year's money, and you will have a family affair with the old man and the old lady in the village, and you will praise me more in front of them, maybe I am here, and those daughters-in-law in the village will be more filial to the elderly!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Shi laughed, and even Zheng Rin and Old Man Zheng, father and son, couldn't hold back. Guo Mianmian's request made the old couple unable to refuse.

Meng Shi secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, well, the queen mother of the ancestor will go to the village to visit the door, and specially tell those old sisters about this New Year's money, praise you more in front of their eyes, and let my mother also taste what it is like to be admired." ”

Guo Mianmian smiled even more happily, and said playfully: "That relationship is good, when the time comes, my mother will tell me how those people praise me, let me be happy." ”

At this time, what she didn't know was that Old Man Zheng and Meng Shi praised her in front of those peers in the village, especially when such unbearable bad words came out, and they didn't reach the surface for several days, it was these old people who pressed the juniors in the family and didn't allow them to study at will, otherwise someone would have spit on her a long time ago.

Next, the three multi-flower sisters and brothers who counted the New Year's money also gave New Year's greetings to Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin, and each received two identical purses. The New Year's money in the purse is less than that given by Old Man Zheng and Meng, and there are ten cents in each purse.

In this way, the three sisters and brothers were very happy. You must know that in the past, when Zheng Shuiqing and Niu's New Year were celebrated, the two of them gave each child a purse, and there was only one penny in it. In Zheng Shuiqing's words, he has no children, and he loses a penny to his sister and brother.

I have received a penny purse for many years, and at this time two ten pennies came out, but it is inconvenient to spend more than happy, and the beautiful blessings are even more like money, and all the front hall is warm and warm under their twittering words.

The sighting time was not early, and the family ate steamed buns with hot dumplings, and did not stop until they couldn't eat anymore. There is no way, the four villages gather together to worship the ancestors, and the whole journey lasts for a long time, if you don't eat enough, you can only hold on if you are hungry halfway.

After Guo Mianmian carefully told Kun Kun and confirmed that Kun Kun could handle lunch, Zheng Rin carried the sacrifice on one shoulder and led his daughter-in-law to the Zheng ancestral hall in Zheng Village in the other.

Old man Zheng and Meng took the Duohua sisters and brothers on the back, and did not forget to tell them the rules to obey when they arrived at the ancestral hall, so as not to make mistakes in front of their ancestors and not be blessed by their ancestors.

On the way to the ancestral hall, I met a lot of people, and most of them dragged their families to the ancestral hall with sacrifices.

After walking for a while, I happened to meet the third aunt's family, and the two families chatted while walking, mostly talking about which family planned an eye-catching sacrifice, and which family added a new person, and specially asked the patriarch to choose a good name, so as to add it to the family tree today.

Guo Mianmian was listening to it with relish, and then heard the third aunt say to her mother-in-law: "Your family is good, you have added a daughter-in-law, and after a while, you will kneel to the ancestors and ask the ancestors to bless Mianmian's belly is a handle, and you will add a grandson to your family in the coming year. ”

When Meng Shi heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Guo Mianmian, and said to the third aunt: "Whether it is a grandson or a granddaughter, they are all the flesh and blood of the old Zheng family. ”

The third aunt thought that the old woman was jealous of her daughter-in-law's presence before she said this, and wanted to say a few words, but she felt that this was a matter between other people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. ”

Meng Shi nodded and agreed with the third aunt's words.

Zheng Rin also heard this conversation, and whispered to his daughter-in-law: "You can rest assured that this child, whether it is male or female, is the magic weapon of our family, just like my mother said, you give birth to the child safely, and you don't ask for it." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't feel uneasy, she had already made a plan for this child, and she didn't dislike it at all, but at this time, when she heard her mother-in-law and her lover comforting herself so much, her heart was warm and sweet: "With your words, do I have a body that I don't feel at ease?" Later, I will ask my ancestors for their blessings, and you will ask for it, and we will ask for the health of our children. ”

Zheng Rin relaxed, and smiled with his daughter-in-law: "Okay, when we get to the ancestral hall, we will ask for this." ”

The couple bit their ears, and whoever saw it could see the sweetness between the couple, some admired it, some disdainful of it, and some of them cut their nails into their hearts, and those who were jealous couldn't take it for themselves, so they couldn't wait to step forward and separate the two of them fiercely.

This person is the Niu family who doesn't know when his body is sent at this time, not far behind the couple.

Xu is Niu's expression was too hideous, and Zheng Shuiqing could see it at a glance. He followed Niu's eyes and saw the eldest sister-in-law who was very affectionate.

Regarding Zheng Rin and Guo Mianmian, Zheng Shuiqing doesn't have too much thought, he is afraid and admires Zheng Rin, the boss, and he can't have hatred and jealousy at all

There is no way, the inner shadow brought to him by Zheng Rin, the boss, is too big, so big that he is divided and lives a depressed life, and he only dares to hate Old Man Zheng and Meng for not being able to get more benefits for him, and hating Zheng Rin, the boss, he will never dare.

admired, naturally admired Zheng Rin's own ability, and married a daughter-in-law who was generally capable. If he can marry a daughter-in-law who has money in the family and can earn money for himself, even if he doesn't do anything every day, he can live a prosperous life.

Coincidentally, he married the daughter of a poor and sour child's family, and he didn't have the silver to be poor and the jingle was just a ring, and his demeanor and temper were not as good as others. In such a comparison, his heart only had infinite admiration for Zheng Rin, the boss, and his growing disgust for the Niu family.

At this time, looking at Niu's face showing an unwilling expression, Zheng Shuiqing said sarcastically: "What's the matter, isn't it jealous that sister-in-law has a rich mother-in-law?" It's a pity, reincarnation is destined, I can't admire it, if you are unwilling, just die, maybe you will open your eyes again and become a prosperous lady, haha! ”

Zheng Shuiqing knew Niu's "Miss Dream", in the past, he still thought it was special, and with the dream together, he dreamed that one day his father-in-law, who had failed to pass the examination for decades, would be lucky, so that he could take his son-in-law to eat and drink spicy.

At this time, several years have passed, and the original daydream has long since disappeared, gradually causing infinite irony towards the father-in-law. The person who is full of mouths also seems to have read a belly of books, but he has been supported by his mother-in-law for most of his life, is this still a man?

Zheng Shuiqing didn't think about it, he was generally idle, and he generally relied on others for more than 20 years in the past, and compared with his father-in-law, he was more than half a catty, and he was generally not a man.

After listening to Zheng Shuiqing's ridicule, Niu Shi was not as angry as Zheng Shuiqing imagined, she looked at Zheng Shuiqing coldly, and the disgust in her eyes almost poured out: "If I really die, I will definitely kill you first, a useless waste to accompany the burial!" ”

I don't know when my parents gave the money for the New Year when I was a child, our side generally ate the New Year's meal on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were also the first morning of the first lunar month, which is the first day of the first lunar month

The Zheng ancestral hall was built a hundred years ago by the clansmen and was built in the middle of the former Zheng Village. After so many years of ups and downs, it looks the most stale.

Fortunately, before the rainy season falls every year, the patriarch will gather the people in the village who know carpentry and tiling to repair the ancestral hall, so that the ancestral hall will not be damaged by rainwater. After so many years, the inside is still good, but it is not popular all year round, and there is a faint musty smell that cannot be shaken inside.

In addition to the ancestral hall where the ancestral tablets are placed, there is also a wide courtyard and a large garden, where the Libian clan holds such a large sacrifice as today. Every time something big happens, the patriarch will gather the clansmen together to discuss it, and this kind of thing is rare, mostly when the situation happens, or when the mother encounters a huge natural and man-made disaster.

At this time, the wide courtyard was filled with large tables that were round or square, and many offerings were scattered on them. These sacrifices were all put by the villagers who came to worship their ancestors, and most of them were chickens, ducks and fish. On the big round table in the middle, there is a roasted whole sheep, which was specially ordered from the town restaurant by the clan all year round.

The ancestor worship ceremony has not yet begun, and the villagers who have placed their own sacrifices gather together to chat, some study the sacrifices placed by the people on the back, and some gossip about the New Year's Eve of each family, mostly some small things like chickens and dogs.

The Zheng family and his entourage came neither early nor late, but they confused the attention of some people in the place. There is no other reason, the Zheng family has a Zheng Rin, so they can't keep a low profile, not to mention that last year's wedding that was extremely scenic in the eyes of the villagers caused a lot of heat, even if the heat dissipates at this time, it is still impossible to think of it by themselves when they see the couple aware it together.

It's also that the couple are too low-key, and they almost don't walk around the village when they have nothing to do, so it's easier for people to have fun, and it's not time to pass by. What's more, the Zheng family and his entourage are all wearing brand-new clothes, and just looking at the material is different from others, so the comparison is even more prominent.

Someone took the initiative to come up to say hello, Guo Mianmian didn't understand and laughed the whole time, with the shouting of Uncle Zheng Rin, Uncle and Auntie, there was no doubt about the attitude at the mercy, and the etiquette was also done, so that people could not lose their footing, but they were inevitably compared with Ma and Niu:

"The daughter-in-law of the purlin looks good, and she is modern and polite, which is better than the two in front of her."

"It's a big cut, this demeanor, this aura, at first glance, it is not ordinary to the little daughters-in-law in the village."

"That must be unusual, Old Man Zheng and Meng
