Chapter 9: Chinese New Year
"Oh! Yes! Husband, it seems that it is right to ask you for help! ”
Lin Yue looked at Cao An with starry eyes, knowing that he ate this set the most. Sure enough, in the face of his wife's adoring eyes, Cao An felt that his bones were crispy. He picked her up and threw her onto the bed.
"Today I want to punish you well, you dare to hide so many things from my husband!"
"Hmm~ you are serious, I ......"
Lin Yue's remaining words were blocked by someone, the cold wind was howling outside the window, and spring was strong in the small room.
Twenty-four years later, twenty-five dozen glutinous rice cakes, twenty-eight chickens and ducks...... In a flash, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The whole family sat around for the most dreary Chinese New Year's Eve meal ever. Then, watching TV, playing with mobile phones, there is no such fun scene as before. Even the two children felt the strange atmosphere between the adults and obediently opened the New Year's gifts given to them by their father.
"This is my favorite replica gun, Daddy! I love you! This was the Nth gun Lolo had ever received, but he still enjoyed it.
"Come and see me, Dad bought me a full set of Barbie dolls, wow! I love so many beautiful dresses! Daddy, Daddy! Boom! Yaya sweetly printed a saliva mark on each of Cao An's faces, and then went to play with her doll leisurely.
"Mom, Grandma! Go to sleep! This year we are coming to the vigil. ”
The children are asleep, and the night is deep! The family sat awkwardly in the living room, no one moving. Lin Yue cheekily whispered to her mother-in-law.
“…………”
Silence, silence again, already accustomed to silence.
"Mom, Grandma, go to sleep! I'll keep it! Wife, go to sleep too! ”
Cao An meowed his mother, and couldn't bear to see his wife being left out in the cold. I had to stand up and play the paddock myself!
Lin Yue didn't speak anymore, and returned to the room silently, until after she came back, she felt deeply inconvenient! Not only did her mother-in-law never give her a smile again, but she never said a word to her. Grandma also ignored her, and her eyebrows were cold! Just the two leather monkeys in the house are a headache, making trouble every day, staging a big havoc in the heavenly palace.
There were always too many people in the house, so she didn't have a chance to go into the space to farm and grow vegetables. I used to complain about the gold finger every day that it was ineffective, but now I have found its advantages, there is no sun and moon in the space, and there are no four seasons, and it is always warm like spring and suitable for plant growth. For example, the outside world now drips into ice, which can freeze people into dogs. But the rice in the space is golden, and the cucumbers are hanging from the branches. And there is another feature of the plant in the space, as long as you don't pick it, it will grow until it grows old and becomes a seed and will not die.
"That's right! The golden finger must have the appearance of a golden finger, otherwise any piece of land outside can be planted, so why come here and suffer. Ah! You have to make money, agricultural machinery is really oil-intensive! ”
Lin Yue wailed, but he was thinking in his heart: only a small half of the two large barrels of diesel fuel he bought were left, and he saw that he was going to harvest rice again. In other words, you have to buy a threshing machine for threshing, and you have to buy a rice mill to turn rice into rice, ah...... Small money, money! Can you fly down from the sky and smash me? Ancestors, ancestors! How do you make three wishes? I'm not too much for ten or eight!
"Pingping! Why didn't I see you coming to your new house for the New Year? ”
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cao An took the children out to pay New Year's greetings, and the three women at home in the Cold War were speechless. Her mother-in-law's phone came from her sister's exaggerated and shrill voice.
"Don't say it, I'm so angry, this debt collector in our family has sold the house! I don't even know if I owe them in my previous life, one was born angry with me, and the other married and angry with me! ”
Liu Ping is a retired old teacher, and Sven is well-educated. Of course, she won't say bad things about her in front of her daughter-in-law, and she hides on the balcony to answer the phone. But the house is so big, how can it not be heard? Of course, she didn't care what her daughter-in-law would think when she heard it, anyway, she was telling the truth. What's going on? It's not enough to say that you can do it!
Lin Yue almost didn't have to listen to it to guess what kind of ugly things the aunt on the other side would say. Speaking of the relatives on the mother-in-law's side, they may all be at odds with Lin Yue, and none of them can get along well. On the contrary, it is the relatives of the Cao family who are so close to each of them. Could it be that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born to rush? That's really a helpless topic.
"Yueyue, why didn't you come to your aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings? Steamed your favorite vermicelli scallops! ”
As soon as he thought of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's phone call made Lin Yue's heart rise.
"Happy New Year, Auntie! My two naughty eggs didn't cause you trouble! ”
"The two of them are good to play with his little uncle. You're really not coming to eat under me? Come on, come on! A lot of people were very lively, and we played cards together in the afternoon. ”
When Lin Yue was pregnant with Dabao, her mother-in-law was not at home, and she lived in the house of her uncle and aunt in the countryside. I just didn't know what was going on at that time, and my taste was very tricky, and I liked to eat some strange things. Uncle went all over the village to look for what loquat, lotus seeds, as soon as they appeared, he picked them and sent them to her. The aunt went to dig lobsters in the mud ditch, catch mud frogs, touch shells, pick up snails, how fresh they came, I was afraid that she would not be able to eat them.
At that time, Cao An's cousin Cao Jian was only five or six years old, and his uncles and aunts had never been so attentive to their children. As the saying goes, sincerity for sincerity! The mother-in-law always complained that her daughter-in-law was not close to her, but she was like a mother and daughter with her aunt and aunt.
She never thought about where she was when Lin Yue needed someone to care about her the most? My aunt and uncle sent eggs, all of them bucket by bucket. Lin Yue said that he wanted to eat peaches, and his uncle went to someone's orchard and picked a hemp bag with a dead face.
There are so many things like this! Sometimes feelings are not measured by money, and as the child grows up, Lin Yue has never forgotten it.
"Auntie, I'm not going, you guys have fun! Someone has to stay at home to entertain the guests! ”
"Isn't my sister-in-law at home? Young people don't take advantage of the Chinese New Year to relax, how can they have time to play at work! Obedient, you come! ”
Sometimes Lin Yue envies an eternally enthusiastic person like her aunt, who is enthusiastic about her relatives, friends and neighbors, and equally enthusiastic about life. I haven't seen the smile on her face disappear before. It is said that women who love to laugh are good at life! Auntie, don't worry, I can't guarantee my fate! But I will do everything in my power to keep you alive.
"My mom is not in good health these days, and her high blood pressure is committed again! Auntie, your family's late rice harvested last year was not sold! ”
"No? Last year's price was not very good, so I simply didn't sell it! Today I am going to raise more chickens, and then Chen Guzi has fed the chickens, and I don't know how to do it, in the past few years, rice cannot be sold at a price, cotton cannot be sold at a price, and the two warehouses at home are full. I'm worried, too! Cotton, but it is not easy to put, it will become damp and yellow after a long time. Don't sell it, take up space. Sell it! It's really distressing, and it was hard work to sell it cheaply last year! ”
"Auntie, I'm secretly telling you, you can't sell anything this year! You also told my aunt and the people in the village that my mother's cousin is the deputy county magistrate, and he told me that there will be great changes in the countryside this year, and if things can be sold, they will not be sold, and they will not rely on this money to save their lives! ”
To cover up a lie, you have to tell countless lies to fill it. This is the best portrayal of Lin Yue at this time.
