After arriving home, Ziqing found that there were several more elders in the family. It turned out that the two aunts heard that Lin Kangping had come home with his new daughter-in-law and came to have a look.

Ziqing is a little strange, after Lin Kangping was sold, no one thought of inquiring about him, why did his aunt know that he had gone home just two days after entering the house this time? Could it be because the two of them are too high-profile? In fact, Ziqing really guessed that it was not far from ten, or Lin Kangping went to the town yesterday to buy those things, and when he entered the village, it was very eye-catching, so naturally some people would ask, and saw the two of them go to the cemetery, what secrets can there be in this village? Today's day to catch the market, as soon as it is transmitted, I will know, as for whether I really want to see this nephew or if I have other ideas, Ziqing doesn't know.

One of the two old ladies pulled Ziqing and the other pulled Lin Kangping, kept wiping their tears, and said, "I didn't expect to see this day again." It's been more than ten years, and I don't know how your child is living? It's all because the family is poor, but the children who are good to give birth are about to be sold, but then again, if they are not sold, where will there be money to heal you, maybe I don't know what happened? So, Brother Ping, don't resent your aunt, everything is fate, if your aunt hadn't sold you, you wouldn't have today, married a daughter-in-law in a beautiful way and set up a family business. ”

Lin Kangping listened to his aunt's words, in fact, as early as when he was married, Lin Kangping thought of his fate with Ziqing, his heart was already balanced, and his heart was full of gratitude, and said: "Auntie, don't say that, I know in my heart that there is really no resentment, it is long gone, otherwise I would not have taken my daughter-in-law home today to recognize my relatives." Qing'er and I had just come back from the market and bought some things, and we were about to see you going, but you happened to come over. ”

"Okay, good boy, it's good that there is no resentment, and your father is so happy to know that you are out now." The eldest aunt said.

As he was talking, Yu's eldest daughter Lin Hongying also came over with her family. Ziqing took a cold look at it, although this eldest sister is cotton clothes, there is still a seventy or eighty percent new one, and. There is also a silver step on the head, and a large round silver earring on the ear, although the two children are also in the age of drooping, they are very clean. It is indeed much stronger than Lin Kangping's two aunts, the old clothes of the two old ladies are basically not colored, and there are one or two patches, and their heads are also smooth. The aunt who was pulling Ziqing had calluses on her hands.

At this time, the master who drove the donkey cart followed up and asked where the things were unloaded, and Lin Kangping remembered that he had forgotten him, took the things in, and first divided the things for the three families, clothing, snacks, a whole pork leg, and two fish. The two old ladies kept squinting at Lin Kangping and pulling things. The smile on his face is getting stronger and stronger.

The eldest aunt Lin has been holding Lin Kangping's hand, and she is chattering about nothing more than letting Lin Kangping remember some old feelings. Come back often to see everyone. Lin Kangping and Ziqing had to gossip with each other again, mainly because the two aunts asked about Lin Kangping's growth experience in the past ten years, when he became a parent, what Ziqing's family does, and what he relies on to make a living now, whether he plans to go home in the future, etc.

At this time, Lin Yaozu on the side said: "It's easy for the family to reunite today, and it's rare for the eldest sister and second sister to see Kang Ping, the child and her mother, hurry up and take a few daughters-in-law Zhang Luo to order the meal." By the way, I seem to have seen Kangping and they bought a few fish and stewed them together, so let's have a drink today. ”

Yu glared at Lin Yaozu, and then thought of a whole pig that Lin Kangping bought, although it was divided into three legs. But after all, there was still a big head left, so he reluctantly twisted his body and went.

Dinner is still rice, a pot of salted radish stew, a pot of cabbage tofu, a pot of pork belly stewed sauerkraut, a pot of fish, and nothing else, Ziqing has seen the real northern cauldron stew, because the stewed time is long, the dish is very flavorful, Ziqing can barely accept it, especially the stewed sauerkraut, which is really fragrant and not greasy, I can't help but think of the popular saying, "Cuihua, sauerkraut." "In this winter, in addition to sauerkraut, that is, cabbage, in the north, you can not only serve sauerkraut.

Ziqing saw that several aunts and grandmothers were eating happily, and after the meal, she wiped her grease mouth, and after telling Lin Kangping a few words, she said, "It's dark, you have to go home quickly." The children are still waiting at home. ”

After saying that, the two aunts took the fabric snacks, and the two uncles each carried a whole pork leg, carried the fish, and walked away with a smile, saying that this year can have a rich year.

Ziqing thought that they would call herself and Lin Kangping to recognize the door and have a meal. Looking at Lin Kangping, he seemed to be a little disappointed, Ziqing hurriedly grabbed his hand, Lin Kangping patted Ziqing, signaling that he was fine.

Ziqing took out the fabric she bought for the children, and asked Lin Hongxia to pull a piece to make a new dress, Ziqing personally measured the size of the five children, and there was nothing to do horizontally and vertically, Ziqing planned to make new clothes for a few children by herself, and the children wore them out. Ziqing thought of her own thoughts, and her heart was happy, this marriage is different, and there are more eyes.

In the next few days, everyone was busy cleaning and re-pasting the windows, Ziqing in addition to eating, was sitting on the kang to make new clothes for a few children, Hu and Ma knew that she was making new clothes for the children, but they didn't pull her to work, they came to accompany her when they had to be free, Jiang and Lin Hongxia also came to sit and sit from time to time, but Jiang obviously talked less, and some were shy. She was very surprised to see the clothes made by Ziqing, the boy's clothes, Ziqing made two ducks with flower cloth on the pocket of the clothes, and the girl's clothes Ziqing made some bows and sewed them, which was also chic and durable.

Ziqing saw that she always held an embroidered bandage and embroidered a handkerchief, and her skills were average, so she pointed her out and drew a few new styles for her. Jiang was grateful, and he knew everything about Ziqing, and Ziqing also learned that the Yu family was in charge of the family and was reluctant to split the family because he was reluctant to let go of the family's financial power, saying that he would wait for Lin Hongxia to marry before splitting the family.

The Lin family now has ten acres of good land, and they have cultivated more than ten acres of wasteland, and they also feed dozens of chickens and three big fat pigs every year, but the Yu family is reluctant to eat, and they all take it to exchange for money. But these days, Ziqing looked at it coldly, and felt that the Yu family was fair, at least Lin Hongxia had not been raised as a delicate girl, and she knew everything in the family, and between several daughters-in-law, it seemed to be quite harmonious.

Jiang said that the money for each person to do embroidery work can be kept for their own private room, which is more reasonable than Ziqing's grandmother, Ziqing also understands that she has to be idle and took a few stitches to embroider a bandage, the winter leisure time in the north is long, it is cold outside, and it can't go out, in addition to making two meals a day, it is basically on the kangtou, and the diligent mother-in-law does a winter of needlework, and it is also a small income to accumulate.

Ziqing guessed that at the beginning, Lin Kangping's money from selling his body and monthly money were estimated to have saved up to buy land, which helped the Lin family survive the most difficult period, and then life got better, and the Lin family slowly put down this family business, so the Hu family and the Ma family were worried that they would stay and divide the family property. Ziqing saw that the women of this family were simpler about Jiang and her unmarried sister-in-law, and they didn't have to think about talking to her.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ziqing finally drove out the children's clothes, and several children couldn't let go of the new clothes in their hands, and even the faces of the three concubines were smiling. The Lin brothers are much more enthusiastic about Ziqing and Lin Kangping, at least the big kang at night is really hot, and Ziqing doesn't like it when she drills in.

After breakfast, Lin Kangyong and Lin Kangping posted couplets outside, the door god, Lin Hongxia and the fourth daughter-in-law pasted the window flowers, the window flowers were cut by the Yu family themselves, what five grains are abundant, auspicious and happy, carp jumping over the dragon gate, etc., lifelike, really a folk master, Ziqing took out the few he bought to Yu to see, Yu said with a smile: "This child, who knows that you are rare this, spend this unjust money, the eldest mother cut it is much stronger than this." ”

"No, I think so too, it's better to cut more from my aunt, I'll keep it and take it home for my own use, no one in my hometown will do this, I will only cut red double happiness."

Yu Shi agreed very happily, basically cut a set for Ziqing who knew how to do it, and saw Ziqing wrapped it up like a treasure, Yu's heart really felt a sense of accomplishment, and the more enthusiastic he became.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Yu Shi with Hu Shi and Ma Shi, and Ziqing accompanied him to fight and burn the fire. Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten at noon, the dish is very simple, a pot of stewed meat, a pot of mushroom stewed chicken, and a pot of stewed rabbit meat, a pot of stewed fish, a table for men, a table for women and children, men have been drinking, women have finished eating and wrapping dumplings under the table, Ziqing saw that she wrapped several large curtains, and when she finished wrapping, she put it in the snow outside, and when it was frozen, she picked it up in a basket, and it was stacked in a large vat in the corner, and it was cooked at any time when you wanted to eat, it was really a natural big refrigerator.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the sound of firecrackers is sporadically heard outside, Ziqing misses her family at this time, and misses the home she is not familiar with, Qingyuan. Yu instructed Hu to put the dumplings in the pot when it was dark, and the men were still drinking, all of them blushing and thick-necked, talking about whose men in the village were diligent, whose life was prosperous, whose children were obedient, whose family opened which piece of land, and so on. The dumplings were served, and the wine was not enough. The Yu family didn't care about this, so they could enjoy themselves.

In the evening, the family gathered around to watch the New Year, and several old men drank some wine and rolled the dice to gamble a little money. The women sat and gossiped melon seeds, Ziqing boiled water and bathed in the stove room, Lin Kangping came to help her carry water, Ziqing was worried that he had drunk too much, so he hurriedly pushed him into the house, and the two cousins in the house were laughing at him for being too mother-in-law and mother-in-law, "The daughter-in-law is married to serve the masters, not to be a mother." ”

Lin Kangping didn't get angry when he heard it, he just smiled. (To be continued)
