The next day, Gao Wencai's daughter-in-law, Gao Liang, came, with a gift, and when she came in, she looked sorry and said in an aggrieved tone, saying that she knew that her eldest niece had injured her leg.

The Jiang family greeted him politely, although Gao Cui scolded the room as shit, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, besides, Gao Wencai They only came back from Xuanqing Mansion not long ago, maybe I really don't know, Gao Liang's is reasonable, but he can't cure his mother-in-law, in this filial piety is the foundation of all morality, causing the daughter-in-law to be able and reasonable, and she can't say it when she meets a bad mother-in-law.

Gao Liang sat down on the square chair against the wall in front of the kang and explained for a long time that the Jiang family was also polite to the concubine, but he didn't seem to be very affectionate.

The two cousins, if there is no Gao Lu family, it should be easy to get along, Gao Liang is the daughter of Xiucai, and Jiang is also a gentle and polite person, but he has been following his husband in Xuanqing Mansion, and every year he will go back to his hometown to live for a month.

The head of the Gao family did not completely have a bad relationship with that room and cut off contact, also because of the Gao Lu family's chaos, Gao Chengwang was honest and temperamental, and he couldn't control his daughter-in-law, Gao Wencai inherited his father, and he couldn't control his mother, and his daughter-in-law was always angry with his mother, so he couldn't take care of other people's family and couldn't stand his mother's anger, even if he accepted it, he just apologized, and he couldn't do anything about his mother.

Before the sorghum family came, her heart was pumping, and every year when she returned to the ancestral house, she had to apologize to the eldest house, all for her mother-in-law's doing, she didn't have the face to speak, but she had to apologize in a low voice, but fortunately, people were polite to her and didn't blow her out.

Seeing the eldest niece lying on the bed, with a wooden crutch next to her, and seeing her sister-in-law and cousin helping her eldest niece out of the house, the sound of the wooden crutch touched her heart, not pain, but shame.

She finished saying everything, and put down the things as soon as she entered the door, which would be ruthless, and took out the silver ticket that she had just prepared for her husband, which was originally for her husband, and put it on the kang table, and went out to say goodbye before they entered the house.

After Jiang came in, he saw the silver ticket, he was speechless and puzzled, Gao Cui picked it up and accepted it, "Brother and sister, don't return it, I think it was given by my cousin and daughter-in-law in private, you have to return it, my aunt must not scold my cousin-in-law." ”

Gao Zhao also got on the kang with the help of the two, helped watch his sister, asked his mother and aunt to bathe the two younger brothers, shaved their hair, and shaved them into that child's exclusive hairstyle.

As soon as the Chinese New Year arrives, the adults in the family will be busy, Gao Zhao is responsible for taking his younger brothers and sisters, sitting on the kang she clapped her hands and taught her sister to sing the New Year's nursery rhyme.

Children, don't cry, after Laba, you will kill the pig. Children, don't be greedy, it's the New Year after Laba. Laba porridge, how many days to drink? Twenty-three. Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky, twenty-four, sweeping the house; Twenty-five, grinding tofu; Twenty-six, stewed mutton; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster, twenty-eight, put the face to the hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns, thirty nights for a night; The first day of the new year twisted and twisted.

Gao Zhao clapped his hands, tilted his head left and right and sang, and his two younger brothers also sang along, but his younger sister Qiaoyun just looked at it blankly, which really made Gao Zhao frustrated, feeling like a stupid eldest sister, and performing for his sister.

Gao Zhao pinched his sister's nose and asked, "Sister, can you sing?" ”

Qiaoyun wrinkled his nose, touched it with his hand, and said, "Qiaoyun is not greedy, Qiaoyun is not crying." ”

Gao Zhao smiled crookedly, and after listening to it for a long time, his sister thought it was talking about her, no wonder she looked at it with her eyes open, but she didn't learn.

"Sister, this is not about you, this is singing, it is a ballad to sing." Gao Yangrong hurriedly explained to his sister.

At this time, the aunt came in with a hair cake, which had just been steamed, and there was a red date on the cake.

"It's still hot, you eat while it's hot, my aunt still has to go and steam a few baskets, Zhao'er is optimistic about my sister."

Xianglan brought hot water into the house, and several people washed their hands and ate hair cakes around the kang table.

Because the first and second days of the Lunar New Year can not work, especially the knife and scissors, so generally on the twenty-ninth steamed cake steamed buns ready, the New Year has a lot of attention and taboos, the first day of the new year can not sweep the floor and wash clothes, etc.

The most taboo thing to say in the New Year is that there are too many and so many, that is, there is a lot of disgust, God will not give you anything this year, Gao Zhao once said this in his previous life, he was beaten by his grandmother when he picked up chopsticks, and he remembered it after hitting it a few times.

Here, every year Gao Zhao will explain to his younger brother in advance, so the two brothers will not talk nonsense, and Qiaoyun will not speak.

The Chinese New Year's Eve worships the ancestors and invites the god Vesta, eats dumplings and sets off firecrackers for Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is lively, Gao Zhao also watched his father take his younger brothers to set off firecrackers in the courtyard on crutches, and Qiaoyun in Jiang's arms covered his ears.

Chinese New Year's Eve, also called the New Year, every year on the thirtieth day, Gao Wenlin went to accompany his father, Jiang's aunt took her children to laugh and play in the main house, until anyone was sleepy and went to sleep, and finally left Jiang and aunt, until Gao Wenlin returned, the aunt went to sleep.

Gao Wenlin was in the front yard, playing against his father. In addition to watching Zhou Yi, Gao Chengji also has a hobby of playing chess, Gao Wenlin learned it in order to accompany his father, although he didn't have any level, but he just passed the time, otherwise the father and son sat dumbly eye to eye?

"Did you read your book?" Gao Chengji asked.

Gao Wenlin raised his eyes and looked at his father, "I'll give it to Zhao'er." ”

"Let's take a look."

"Hmm."

Gao Chengji has always been silent, but his children will listen to what he says, Gao Wenlin is playing chess and thinking at the same time, let me see what is that? I didn't see me learn those when I was young, but my father said let me see it, then let's take a look, and I just happened to check how much my daughter has watched.

After Jiang and the eldest sister and other children slept, they talked about family affairs, how to talk about the eldest daughter, Jiang said worriedly: "Eldest sister, look at Zhao'er, how can it be the same as not growing up now, it is over thirteen, and Kwai Shui has not come, she looks like a little lady, she can make up for her this month, and she has not seen much fat." ”

Gao Cui said disapprerovingly: "I came after fifteen years of menarche, I guess it looks like me." ”

Jiang secretly thought in his heart, like you, you are in trouble, you have not been born for several years, your husband is widowed and returns to her mother's house, and she doesn't even have any children, no, she has to find a Peng Po in the county who sees the woman's illness to take a look, and there happens to be a silver ticket from her cousin and daughter-in-law, all of which are given to Zhao'er.

"Juan Niang, I have seen the New Year, I invited Peng Po to come to the house and show Zhao'er, if you want to take tonics, use the silver given by the brother-in-law of the house, and do not use the family."

Jiang smiled, "Okay, listen to the eldest sister." ”

The eldest sister has nephews and nieces in her heart, and the Jiang family is happy to see it, and she is also grateful to the eldest aunt for her help over the years, and she really can't turn away without her at home. For so many years, there are few people in the family, the eldest sister does everything, and her daughter Gao Zhao is not like the little lady of other families, waiting for someone to serve, but helping to bring up the two younger brothers.

The family has one heart, the better it gets, and the mother-in-law of the Jiang family is no longer there when she marries in, so she is the master of the house when she enters the door, and she lives a happy life.
