Coming together at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Ziqing is wearing a new cotton jacket with a big red long body cloth today, and the lower body is a cotton skirt of the same color, Ziqing's long cotton jacket is generally pinched at the waist, which makes Ziqing's figure slim, and there is also an agate step on her head, and an agate flower, which makes Ziqing's face more and more pink and radiant, Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing for a long time before reluctantly letting go of her.

Lin Kangping himself is also dressed in new clothes, a jujube red dark flower cotton robe, black pants underneath, both of them are sheepskin boots with one fur, when they led Ziqing out, everyone was stunned when they saw Ziqing, and they may not be able to compare the person in front of them with the local girl who just came a few days ago, and several concubines were envious when they saw it, and they all said that Ziqing was dressed like a new daughter-in-law, and she looked better than the person in the painting.

Lin Kangjian, the eldest son of the Lin family, led the family to kowtow to Lin Yaozu and the Yu family, one red envelope per person, and two pennies. Then a few children kowtowed to the elders of the family, and Ziqing also gave each child two pennies, thinking of giving more, but it couldn't be more than Yu's, it didn't look good.

After worshipping the elders, the man went to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and the woman made breakfast at home. The breakfast on the first day of junior high school is dumplings, which is different from Ziqing's hometown, there is no need to be vegetarian, and there is no other particularity.

The children in the village went around in groups, going to pay New Year's greetings in groups, decorating their pockets with peanuts and melon seeds. When they see firecrackers at their homes, they all rush to pick up scattered firecrackers, light them themselves and play with them, or scare passers-by. The eldest children of the Lin family are all dressed up today, and they have already gone out to show off.

After returning home after worshipping the ancestors, as soon as they ate a few mouthfuls of dumplings, some villagers came in one after another to pay New Year's greetings, all men, Lin Yaozu and Yu were at home to entertain guests. Several women gathered around Ziqing's kang and gossiped with melon seeds. One will praise Ziqing for being beautiful, and the other will praise Ziqing for her dexterity and good clothes. After a while, Ziqing praised Ziqing's beautiful headdress, and Ziqing just smiled.

"Brother and sister, no wonder the third brother loves you, you said you. Good looks, clever hands, docile temperament, and good speech, if I were a man, I would marry a daughter-in-law like you, and I would not have to hide at home every day. No one will show it. Hu said.

"Why, sister-in-law? With such a beautiful daughter-in-law, what man doesn't want to lead her out and let others boast about it? Jiang asked.

"You are stupid, just the looks, figures, and skin of the third brother and sister. What if a landlord takes a fancy to it and robs it to be a little wife? Can the third brother rob others? I looked at a few little wives of the rich man Liu in Liuzhuang next door. No one is as good-looking as the three siblings. Ma said.

"No, third brother and sister, I heard that you are going to the capital for the Lantern Festival, you really have to be careful, in case you are caught by a dignitary, it will be bitter for our third brother." Hu said.

Ziqing saw that the more they talked, the more unbearable they became, and hurriedly said: "How can I have what a few of you said so well, there are many beautiful girls in this capital, is it possible that you can't come out to shop?" I'm a southerner, and I'm a little smaller. The skin is whiter, I believe this, where is it so evil as you guys say? ”

"Third sister-in-law, I think you are really beautiful, I like you, it's better for you to be careful when you go out." Lin Hongxia said. It's a pity that Ziqing didn't take it to heart.

This is, Ziqing heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, Hu said that it was the village twisting Yangge, and was about to pull Ziqing off the kang, Lin Kangping came in and said that he wanted to take Ziqing to see the Yangge twisting and stepping on stilts.

"The third brother is really hurting, we just wanted to take the third brother and sister out, you came over, it is obvious that you have a daughter-in-law in your eyes, dare to be afraid that we will lose your daughter-in-law? We don't have this good life, we are all people who no one hurts, no one cares. Seeing Lin Kangping telling Ziqing to go out and put on a thick cotton jacket, Ma couldn't help but feel sour and said a few words.

"The second brother and sister are really joking, the second brother is going to hear this, and he must not be sad, he doesn't hurt you enough? If you want to go east, he will never dare to go west. If you want to eat something that you don't have at home, the second child will also get it for you in a different way, you, be content. I'm the one who doesn't hurt. Hu said.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, if you don't leave, Yangge should be finished." Lin Kangping pushed Ziqing out, and Ziqing was putting gloves on her hands.

The wheat field in the village is surrounded by people, men, women and children as long as they are happy, they can go down and twist a few times, most of the women are red shirts, big green pants, red on their faces, holding two red hair fans, and there are people who step on stilts and twist Yangge, this is different from the dragon and lion dance in the south, this can be participated in by all the people, as long as you are happy, how you want to twist and dance, all according to your own will.

Yu also changed his clothes and took a fan to get off the field, Hu and Ma wanted to drag Ziqing to jump a few times, Ziqing was not hypocritical, after watching a few times, Yangge's steps were still relatively simple, so he followed them to join in the fun. Yu don't look old, her steps are flexible, and there are many tricks, this old lady is really what she does, no wonder this big family is quite honest with her, but unfortunately, if you can divide this heart a little bit on Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping will not be sold, and his childhood will not be miserable. However, then again, if this is the case, it is impossible for him to know him, and in the dark, everything has its own certainty.

Lin Kangping saw that Ziqing finally showed his face and had a lot of fun. She was also happy, and she accompanied her for a long time.

On the second day of junior high school, after breakfast, Hu, Ma and Jiang all returned to their parents' house with their men and children, and Lin Hongying's family also came. Ziqing helped Yu take care of the meals and said some gossip, such as Lin Kangping's childhood, Lin Kangping's birthday, Lin Kangping's foreign family, etc. Ziqing knew that Lin Kangping's foreign home was not local, her mother fled back then, and the Yu family didn't know anything about the situation over there. Ziqing estimates that there are no one left.

The local custom is to invite an aunt on the second day of junior high school, a nephew on the third day of junior high school, a nephew on the fourth day of junior high school, and a young daughter-in-law who generally does not go out to visit the New Year or accompany guests except for returning to her parents' home. So on the third day of junior high school, the sons of several aunts and grandmothers in the family came with a lot of grandchildren, Lin Kangping accompanied them to drink tea and chat, Ziqing could only help the Yu family cook in the stove room, and there were no female dependents to accompany and chat, Ziqing was crooked on her kang. Lin Kangping was afraid that she would be bored, so he came over from time to time to steal a fragrant kiss.

On the fourth and fifth days of the junior high school, Lin Kangping followed a few brothers of the Lin family to the house of the two aunts and grandmothers, and when he came back, he still looked the same, and Ziqing didn't ask much. In the next time, Lin Kangping basically didn't go out, except for accompanying Lin Yao's grandfather and son to drink a little wine every day, gossiping, and occasionally throwing dice to gamble a little money, the rest of the time was with Ziqing, when the weather was fine, the winter in the north looked much more desolate than in the south, and it was very interesting, but there was no green at all, and it didn't make much sense to go too many times, mainly because it was too cold outside, so Ziqing would rather be crooked on the kang most of the time.

On the evening of the thirteenth, Lin Kangping said goodbye to Lin Yaozu and Yu, saying that he would leave the next day, and he would take Ziqing to the capital and come to worship his parents before Qingming. Lin Yaozu listened to it and tried his best to keep them after the Lantern Festival before leaving.

"Oh, old man, according to me, the Lantern Festival in the capital is not much more lively than our rural place, not only there are temple fairs, I heard that there are lanterns, food and play, which is not better than our countryside, there are many people, but the sea goes, but I don't have the opportunity to see the world, the third daughter-in-law is easy to come to, and the third daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and I can't bring it to see and see? If they are coming back Qingming, don't embarrass the children. Yu said.

"That is, if you want me to say that my younger brothers and sisters are blessed, don't look at us living on the edge of the capital, but I grew so big, and I went to visit the capital once, I heard that there are a lot of fun and delicious things at the temple fair, and yes, they said that the lanterns of the Lantern Festival are beautiful, and I also heard that this night the emperor will also take the lady in the palace out of the micro-service for a private visit, and what prince and princess will sneak out to see the excitement. Maybe there's a prince and princess standing next to you or something, so be careful when you speak. Hu said.

"Okay, what are you talking about, that's what you can talk about, don't hurry up and shut up." Lin Yaozu shouted.

Lin Yaozu turned around and told Lin Kangping: "Child, since you have decided to go, I won't stop you, it's just that what they said is right, outside, you should be careful in everything." I know that you often run outside, more than I have seen the world, and the Wen family is also in the capital, so naturally there is no need to worry. I'm just telling you a few words in vain. In the future, remember to come home often, and I will be content, and now that I see you like this, I know that you are promising, and in the future, I can also go to see your father. Speaking of the back, Lin Yaozu's eyes were also red.

Lin Kangping hurriedly helped Lin Yaozu to agree.

"Look at what Lao Tzu said, I'm about to shed tears. I know that over the years, Kangping has become a piece of your heart. However, we couldn't help it at the beginning. Now, this child is also bitter, and he got rid of his slavery and married such a good daughter-in-law, I heard that he also bought a family business in the south, which is also the creation of this child, you, it's time to put down your mind and wait for Kangping to honor you for a few years. Yu also said with a grudge.

Early in the morning of the fourteenth, Lin Kangping took Ziqing to the cemetery first, and after coming back, he was busy packing up his things, the Yu family knew that Lin Kangping would not come back to divide the family property, and the knot in their hearts had been resolved, and these days they saw that Lin Kangping was also generous, and the food and drink for more than half a month were basically spent by Lin Kangping, of course, they didn't know Lin Kangping's family background, so they were very content, and they sincerely welcomed them to come again next time.

Lin An arrived at almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Kangping didn't dare to delay, for fear that he wouldn't be able to enter the city late, so he hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and took Ziqing into the carriage. The Lin family didn't expect a carriage to pick them up, and watched them walk away suspiciously. (To be continued)
