Chapter 180: Lively, New Year's Eve (I)
The return of the Li family and his party was unexpected by everyone in the Zhao family.
The sound of the bullock cart entering the door woke up the people who were still in the house.
Liu and Yuan were the first to react, and the two hurriedly put on their shoes and socks and ran out to see.
Seeing that it was the Li family coming back, the Liu family and the Yuan family hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Mother, why are you back?" Liu's facial expression was still a little surprised.
According to Li's own words before, no matter what happens, she will not be able to come back until twenty-seven or eighteen years ago.
It's only twenty-three, but it's five days early.
Li Shi waved his hand when he heard this, and jumped out of the car with the wheel on the side, "The business of the shop is not good, and it is also consumed, so don't you come back early,"
"Don't be stupid, hurry up and move your things into the main house," Li pointed to a cart of things pulled on the ox cart and motioned to the two people who came over to move quickly.
"Oh, oh, oh"
Liu Shi nodded quickly, didn't ask anything, and pulled Yuan Shi up directly.
Zhao Yu also jumped out of the ox cart after the ox cart stopped.
Seeing the eldest aunt and her mother coming, Zhao Yu pulled Zhao Chunhua and Zhao Dongxue aside without delaying the adults to move things.
Not to mention, it's quite cold outside without the futon, and a few small ones are not very thick, and they are shivering from the cold.
"Okay, you three little girls, hurry up and stay in the house," Li saw it and hurriedly asked Zhao Yu and the three of them to go back to the house.
Zhao Yu nodded when he heard this, stretched out his hand, Zhao Chunhua and Zhao Dongxue on the side, and the three villains ran back towards their houses.
At this time, Cheng came out of the house, and Zhao Fuxiang from the main house also came to the yard with his three sons.
Seeing that there were a lot of things on the ox cart, Zhao Fuxiang hurriedly asked his three sons to help, while he himself walked to the ox cart leisurely with his wrist behind his back and talked to the Li family.
"Wait until you get back to the house,"
There are a lot of things in the shop, and it is not easy to explain one or two sentences clearly, so Li only replied with one sentence, and continued to direct others to work.
Zhao Fuxiang was choked like this, and immediately stopped talking, just stood in front of him and swayed along.
A large population is a good thing, and the things on the ox cart were quickly moved into the main house.
didn't let Liu and the others go back, Li directly called everyone into the main house.
In the house, Li Shi turned his back to everyone and quickly opened a straw mat wrapped in a rag and wrapped it in rags.
Unwrapping the package, Li poured out all the contents one by one.
Good fellow, it turned out to be a lot of processed rabbit fur, and some chicken and duck feathers.
These things are all from chickens, ducks, and rabbits.
The reason why there are so many of them is because of the oven in the shop.
Their shop relies on the oven, and they have been making a lot of money lately.
The feathers and fur of chickens, ducks and rabbits have also saved a lot.
Originally, Li wanted to throw away the feathers of chickens and ducks, and sell the fur of rabbits to a shop specializing in collecting skins, but later her actions were directly persuaded by Zhao Yu.
Because of what, or because Zhao Yu saw the chicken and duck feathers, he directly thought of the duvet and down jacket in his head.
It's a nice thing, it's light and fluttery, and it's warm on the body.
As for rabbit fur, it's even better, and it's not bad to make small items such as gloves, scarves, and fur hats.
Under Zhao Yu's persuasion, the Li family had the attitude of trying it out, and really kept all these things.
The hair of chickens, ducks and rabbits has a strong taste, but fortunately, Zhao Yu knows how to deal with it.
Just like that, I really asked Li to make a few sets of warm duvets.
At present, because of going home for the New Year, those duvets have been left in the shop by the Li family.
There were still so many feathers left, and thinking that there was nothing at home, the Li family naturally wanted to take them back and continue to use them.
No, Li neatly divided the contents into several piles.
Calling the three daughters-in-law to him, Li followed the previous practice, and one daughter-in-law went out with a bunch of feathers and furs.
Explain what he was going to do to a few daughters-in-law, and Li waved his hand and asked them to take their things away.
In the blink of an eye, only Li and Zhao Fuxiang were left in the room.
Li Shi left his feathers and fur neatly on the kang.
Then, she told Zhao Fuxiang about the shop.
After speaking, Zhao Fuxiang sighed and didn't say anything, but told him what happened at home when Li was not at home.
By the way, I also mentioned a mouthful of virtue.
After listening to this, the corners of Li's mouth drooped.
For her mother's brother, she can't say anything.
After all, Li Jiawan, who was really poor, waved his hand, Li was tired, "Forget it, it's a handful to be able to help, and I'm also dedicated to being a sister." ”
It's impossible not to help, otherwise it won't look good to say.
…………
Because of the Li family's separation of skins and feathers, the originally leisurely Zhao family became busy again.
Especially the three daughters-in-law of the Liu family, the Yuan family, and the Cheng family.
Moved by what Li described, after the three of them took the things back, they directly dismantled some unused bedding at home.
As they say, they divided the feathers into small piles and piles, and the three of them first sewed the inner lining and stuffed the feathers into it little by little.
With Li at home, the three of them did exceptionally smoothly this time, and no one gossiped anymore, and even the efficiency of their work was more than doubled.
In less than two days, everyone in the Zhao family put on cotton shoes sewn with rabbit fur, rabbit fur gloves, rabbit fur collars, and men wore fur hats sewn with rabbit fur.
The bedding that sleeps at home at night has also been changed from a heavy quilt to a softer and warmer duvet.
This kind of upside down and new look also warms up the atmosphere at home.
…………
Although the New Year is particularly unquiet due to this winter, fortunately, their Zhao family has made a lot of money from June to now.
The family has a lot of income, and the harvest in the field is good, and in general, the family should be able to have a good year.
However, in the end, there are so many bad things happening in the surroundings, and at this time, their family has to keep a low profile to avoid mistakes.
No matter how you say it, it's a New Year's celebration.
There are also chickens, ducks, rabbits and pigs at home.
After discussing with Zhao Fuxiang, Li directly took advantage of the New Year to simply kill a pig.
Almost a hundred catties of serving, I didn't sell it after I killed it, but I just gave some to the old people and relatives in the clan, and the rest was kept at home and eaten slowly.
For this reason, Li specially called his three daughters-in-law together and divided the remaining dozens of catties of pork into countless pieces.
Some were made into bacon, some were made into sausages, and some were made into dried meat...... The remaining pork head, pork liver and other internal organs are directly marinated into lo-mei.
After such a busy time, it is less than three days before the New Year.
The flavor of the year is out.
The village of Shangwa began to get busy.
Clean the house, worship the god of the hearth, make offerings to the ancestors, and pray for prosperity in the coming year......
Zhao Yu took out the maltose cake she had specially bought from the city.
The sugar cake, but the size of a thumb, looks delicate and beautiful.
The whole family, regardless of gender, old and young, was divided by Zhao Yu.
Liu took out his pickled pickles and distributed them to everyone.
Yuan took out the wild things he had borrowed, and the family shared one.
Cheng's is even more powerful, and he doesn't know where to get the wild duck eggs, and the family has five or six, with verdant skins, and they have an appetite when they look at them.
Zhao Yu couldn't help licking her mouth, she wanted to eat salted duck eggs.
If you want to eat it, you can do it, immediately, Zhao Yu ran to beg the Li family, took the duck eggs and eggs saved at home, used the idle jars that were not used at home, and flooded a large jar in one go, and waited for a month to take it out and eat it.
