"Little ghost," Liu Mu glared at him with a smile, "Then we can't accept it, it's useless, the old woman is not wrong in saying this, right?" ”

"Grandma Liu, you used the right sentence, but the words were wrong," Du Xuqing said with a serious face, "My aunt eats a large bag of food at home every year, but we have never returned once." We are returning the rituals of previous years, so if you don't accept it, you have to collect it for a few aunts and brothers and sisters. ”

His words made the adults happy when they heard it, and the thirteen-year-old man, even the children of poor families in the countryside, did not have the ability to see things through in this way.

Du Xuze rubbed his head with satisfaction, there was finally something that made him happier, it was rare that this younger brother of the second uncle's family could thrive under the tribulation of the third aunt. Well, his younger brother and sister are also well-behaved, and he rubbed the heads of his younger brothers and sisters who were sitting on Zuo Ranjia, and sure enough, he got a white eye from the stinky little girl.

"Grandma Liu, Qingzi is right, you have to accept it, otherwise our relative will have to leave." Du Xuze said with a smile, a mouthful of white teeth reflected his tough facial features, and his eyes curved to cut the coldness of the scar next to him.

"Okay, okay, both of you brothers have talked about this, if the old woman doesn't accept it, this relative will really not be hot." Du Xuqing's words were to the point, and Liu Mu didn't bother anymore.

Du Qiaoyun smiled and stuffed most of the remaining half bag of sugar into Liu Zhengjun's hand, "Go and distribute it to your brothers, sisters and sisters, don't eat it all in one go, be careful of bad teeth!" ”

Liu Zhengjun nodded vigorously, he waved his hand, and led a group of half-grown children to the East House to share sugar.

Du Xuqing and the three of them also got Du Xuze's permission to go over and play together.

Mother Liu asked about the division of the family, and sighed, "It's good to divide it, although there is no elder to take the helm for you, you have to learn everything, but there are not so many bad things, it is better than anything." I see that you children are all good, as long as our hearts are not bad, we will definitely be able to live a prosperous life. ”

Du Xuze and Zuo Ranjia responded, this old lady doesn't look like a rural person at all, she is a rare and reasonable person. They are really grateful to her in their hearts, because she is there, Du Qiaoyun has suffered a lot.

They talked for a while, drank some water and knocked a few handfuls of melon seeds, and there was movement outside the courtyard.

The aroma of fat meat and oil was drilled into the house first, and the Liu family, who went to exchange meat and pig vegetables, entered the house with a smile, and everyone had no empty hands: stewed pork skin with winter melon, sliced pork with cabbage, fried soybean sprout vermicelli with oil residue, potato meatballs, stewed fat sausage with tofu, stewed white meat and blood sausage with sauerkraut, and a basket of steaming Sanhe noodle steamed buns!

"In the past few years, the harvest in the field has been better than a year, look at this pig fat, the village chief's wife is willing to fry soybean sprout vermicelli with oil residue." Mother Liu was very happy, and directly beckoned to set the table, so that everyone could eat while it was hot.

Liu Laohan and the four sons of the Liu family accompanied Du Xuze to open a bottle of wine, smelling the mellow aroma of wine, and they were already drunk and comfortable without drinking.

The authentic farmer kills the pig vegetables, stir-fry them in a large pot, the vegetables are stewed, and the fat and fragrant meat are drunk, and the taste is really full of relish.

Zuo Ranjia also squinted her beautiful eyes when she ate, she knows many kinds of meals, pastries, and pastries, but she still has a great interest in food, and in this same ingredient, there are too many things that can be tasted, especially from the expression of the original taste.

After eating, the children went out with candy, dried fruits, and biscuits in their pockets, and the men drank a little too much, and went back to the house to rest and sober up. The women cleaned up and went to the warm clay kang in the big house, and talked while doing their work.

Zuo Ranjia rarely has this kind of lazily basking in the winter sun with a group of people, chatting calmly and warmly. Even she had the idea of wanting to live in the countryside, of course, she just thought about it, after all, the gap between ideals and reality was too big.

"Daughter-in-law Ozawa, if you don't leave in the afternoon, Ozawa has drunk a lot, and we won't worry about you going back. It happens that tomorrow is the twenty-seventh, and there is a market in the town, let's go shopping together, shall we? "Du Qiaoyun is made of cotton shoes with a thousand layers, she is skillful at everything, and she is very fine, the shoes are finely sewn and regular, if it is not for the upper and bottom because of the limitation of the material, it is really the same as an eighteen-year-old Kyoto cloth shoes, or even better.

Zuo Ranjia suddenly had a thought in her heart, she suppressed it first, and replied with a smile: "Okay, we won't be as lively as you when we go home." ”

"Where is this lively, it is directly noisy," Liu Mu snorted, but her mouth was unclosed with a smile: "That group of leather monkeys can make the sky down, I wish to be quiet." ”

It's just that in the next second, she couldn't help but sigh sadly: "It's a good thing that there are more people in the family, it's just, alas, there are many people and there are many troubles." ”

Listening to her mother-in-law's words, the four daughters-in-law paused for the work at hand, and their brows wrinkled involuntarily. "Mother, our family is much better than other people's families, isn't this the case in every household now? You can relax, the marriage between Tongzi and Huazi is fast and fast, Yue Lao has already pulled the line, and we can't rush to come. ”

"Be quiet, I've been heard, I'm going to drag you to criticize," Liu Mu hurriedly snorted twice and whispered: "Don't mention Old Yue, let's just listen to it from our own family, don't talk about it." ”

Everyone nodded helplessly.

Zuo Ranjia asked with some curiosity: "Grandma Liu, is the marriage of the two younger brothers difficult?" ”

"I blame my old wife for not letting go of power," Liu's mother said with some self-reproach: "Xiao Ze's daughter-in-law, you have also seen it, we have a lot of Liu family, and twenty-seven people are crowded in this dilapidated courtyard, and the houses are separated and separated, although the village has divided the homestead for your uncles and younger brothers, but one is the reason that we will divide the family if there is no old man in our village, and the old woman just wants to delegate power, and you uncles and aunts can be drowned by the villagers pointing at the backbone with spittle."

Second, this year's harvest is better, but in previous years, every household owed money to the team, and just had a surplus to pay off the debt, where is the surplus money to build a house? ”

After speaking, Liu Mu slapped her mouth with her face, "Look at me, this is a happy day, what are you doing here." Zezi daughter-in-law, if you live in a single family in the city, your neighbors may not recognize it all. We see a lot of excitement in the countryside, but their minds are not bad, and this day is indeed more enjoyable than in the city. You stay tonight, and tomorrow you will go to the market with your aunt and aunt.

If you want me to say, you have been staying here for the New Year, and the taste of people has been strong for many years. ”

"That's not good, it's enough for us to trouble everyone if we stay for one night, where is there a reason to celebrate the New Year at a relative's house, and if someone knows about it, you have to talk about it." Zuo Ranjia smiled and shook her head, she liked the Liu family very much, and everyone's face was really full of sincere smiles, without the slightest hint of scheming and unpleasant malice in the eyes of Meng Guixiang and Jin Lingqing.

As Liu Mu said, as long as people don't have bad hearts, they can get along, and if they are afraid, they are afraid that they will be bad to the root and rotten their hearts, and they will pretend to be good people in human skin.

The Liu family is very skillful, and they do their work without ambiguity, and they can take a circle of soles when they speak, and they will not be treated differently because they wear them or take them out.

Zuo Ranjia picked up the finished products in the sewing basket beside them, and looked at them carefully in their hands one by one.

"My wife, my eyes are not good, so I can only grope for it, but your aunt and a few aunts are doing a good job, and we are all out of the town. Don't look at our Liu family like this now, I think that your uncle and uncles were good sons in everyone's hearts, and the old woman sat at the gate, letting them take the work of the girl in the family, and the bad ones couldn't let her enter the door. Mother Liu said half-jokingly, making everyone laugh.

"Hey, don't laugh, I'm telling the truth, I fell in love with Qiaoyun at the beginning, but not because she was white and still a girl in the city, it was all the patches on her body and the stitches on her clothes. Without these ingenious daughters-in-law, where can you, the younger sisters, be skillful? ”

Zuo Ranjia found that Liu's mother was blind, so she stretched out her arms and squinted, wrote down this matter in her heart, and continued to look at the remaining soles, insoles and shoes.

The second family has a good temperament, and there are few such fine people in the countryside, dressed in indigo clothes, the patches on the elbow cuffs are of the same color, and the small flowers are finely embroidered with colored threads, which has a different taste. She pursed her lips when she laughed, and the words she said had a kind of southerner softness, which made people feel good: "Zezi daughter-in-law, you have a leader's style." Look at your beautiful appearance, but your serious appearance is weird and bluffing.

How, can you see the flowers? ”

Zuo Ranjia laughed: "I didn't see the flowers, but I found a way to live?" ”

As soon as they heard her words, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at her in confusion, she was from the city, and she was still idle at home, where did she come from? You must know that temporary workers in the city are not easy to find, and you have to fight for relationships. The men do gravity work, and it's good to say that they don't have to do the laundry in the winter just to make a living.

Besides, who doesn't know how to make shoes with soles? What's more, they don't have any material, and there is not much cotton left in the family's own land, so there are no tickets to buy them. Although the various bills issued by the state allow most of the people to eat and wear, there are no more.

Zuo Ranjia curled the corners of her lips and said: "A sister I know works in a friendship store, and she said that many people abroad like the mille-feuille bottom made by Chinese people, which is comfortable and breathable. I also said that I knew relatives who knew how to accept insoles and make shoes.

She said that she was kind and that she could provide all kinds of materials. ”

The eyes of the women of the Liu family were very bright, but they were a little hesitant, and Liu's mother asked hesitantly: "We can do it, but is this considered cutting the tail of capitalism?" ”

"Grandma Liu, this is also a temporary worker, but they won't give tickets and money like other temporary workers in the city," Zuo Ranjia thought about it, with the assistance of a virtual businessman of the same plane, all procedures would be legal and reasonable, so that people could not find the slightest inappropriateness.
