Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xiao Che conjured up a bag of white noodles like a trick, weighing about two catties, plus some meat left over from hunting, as well as the fungus that Ah Bao had dried before.

They can have a good meal of dumplings.

Ah Bao is quite skillful, and he is not a problem with rolling the skin, and Xiao Che is not bad, and the two are busy together.

It was snowing outside, the dim mutton fat lamps were lit in the small hut, and the water was boiling in the big iron pot in the small kitchen.

"Where did this white flour come from? Why didn't I see the last time I counted things? She frowned.

"You just don't care." Xiao Che's tone was rarely soft.

"Oh, I thought you were hiding your money."

"Private money?" Xiao Che was surprised, raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "Our family doesn't even have public housing money, where can I hide private money?" ”

"I can still make money if I don't have any money, I'm still waiting for you to support me." Po pursed his lips, his big watery eyes shining.

Xiao Che couldn't cry or laugh, this little girl was becoming more and more afraid of him.

The light of the jumping fire reflected her face, the original color of the dish turned pink, the original emaciation gradually faded, and her cheeks were a little more baby fat.

Seemingly...... It will be ready to eat soon.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the two ate dumplings and celebrated the New Year together.

There were no artillery battles, but Xiao Che got a few dried bamboos and threw them into the fire, and there was a crackling sound.

It's the New Year.

Ah Bao held the dumplings and looked at the handsome man beside him, and he actually felt a little happy.

If...... She said that if she really can't go back, then she won't be wronged in this life.

There is no other palace fight, power scheme, war, and fight in the text.

Some are just good-looking men who can support their families, and they live in small huts between green mountains and green waters.

He chops firewood for hunting, and she weaves and plows the fields.

They earn silver together, watch the sunrise and sunset, walk through the four seasons together, and celebrate the New Year together.

She was the only one by his side, and so was she.

"Xiao Che."

"Huh?"

"Are we going to live like this forever?"

"Yes"

"Will you always be there for me?"

"Yes"

His answer was short and forceful, firm and unquestioning.

Ah Bao never thought that he would fall in love with an ancient man, how feudal, how machismo, how little attention to women, and what a scumbag.

But the one in front of me doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.

He is hers alone, no one else, clean, refreshing, and belongs to her alone, they are married husband and wife.

So let's live like this, no regrets.

"From then on, all the money you earn must be handed over, and you are not allowed to hide your private money."

"Good"

"Don't look at other women, don't think they're good-looking."

"Good"

"Don't ......"

"Good"

It was late at night, and when Xiao Che returned to the bedroom with the kitten in her arms, she was already drowsy, and she was still muttering all kinds of nos.

Xiao Che's cold and hard face softened again, this little girl is so domineering, it's the first time I've seen her.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were only a few sporadic artillery battles in the village.

The days outside are getting more and more difficult, and the life of the countrymen is even harder, and no one wants to spend more money on these vain activities.

But Uncle Xiao, a wealthy man in the village.

Even if they were half a village away, Xiao Che and Ah Bao could hear the continuous sound of cannonballs.

In the afternoon, the whole village knew that Uncle Xiao's son who was studying in the city had returned to the countryside to visit relatives.

"It's really promising, that Xiao's eldest son is wearing a white robe, and he has the style of a son and brother in the city, tsk, I don't know which girl will be lucky enough to promise him in the future"

"Anyway, it's not a girl from our village, it's a scholar, and no matter how bad it is in the future, she will be a talented lady."

"That's right, it's really good, but it's a pity for the second family"

The villagers who went out to pay New Year's greetings were talking about gossip again, and when Ah Bao went out to deliver dumplings to Aunt Chen, he listened to these all the way.

After coming back, Po was very curious.

"Xiao Er in their mouths, but is it our family?"

She knows that she is related to Uncle Xiao's family, one is so rich that she can't open the pot, and the other is so poor that she can't open the pot, so there is no common topic, so there is no need to get together.

But why is Xiao Er unlucky, Xiao Er, isn't it his father-in-law?

"It's all old things, so don't mention it." Xiao Che's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't want to mention this.

Po didn't want to ask much, so he only muttered a word.

"I just think it's a big difference"

"What, disgusted?" Xiao Che suddenly stared at her, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting.

"What do you dislike?"

Ah Bao was stupidly thinking about something, and he didn't look at his face, and replied in a daze.

After a long silence, Xiao Che finally calmed down.

"It's nothing, let's go back to the house, it's cold outside."

"Okay!"

The little kitten was still stupid, which made Xiao Che a little apologetic.

How could he have that illusion, this is a small mountain village, and this is his little lady in front of him.

Where can you mix it up with those people? No, you can't.

……

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home.

Ah Bao brought the last bit of food at home and went back to his parents' house with Xiao Che.

Even if there is everyone she hates the most, there is also a Xiaozhu she is closest to.

"Yo!"

Widow Zhao leaned against the door frame early in the morning and sneered at her.

"That's not enough for me to cook a meal, and you're embarrassed to handle it."

"That's it, eldest sister, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you bring some food for your younger brothers and sisters? We miss you. Liang Ertao followed her mother and probed her brain into Bao's basket.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any siblings, I only have one brother."

Ah Bao hugged Xiaozhu at the right time, his eyes were full of disdain and alienation.

"You!" Liang Ertao was angry.

"Mother! Did Dad say that this family is our family, and these people are all family members? ”

"That's right!" Widow Zhao gritted her teeth.

"She's your sister, your half-sister, don't shout in the future, you know?"
