Before the New Year, Jiang Yuanyuan sold all the marmalade, and after deducting expenses, they earned nearly two hundred taels of silver.

Because Jiang Yuanyuan only made a wave of marmalade, it was not a lot, and it was beyond Jiang Yuanyuan's expectations to be able to sell it for so much money, she carefully put the money into her box, which can be said to be the first money she earned alone in the real sense, and the meaning was very heavy to her.

When the river began to freeze, Jiang Yuanyuan recruited ten workers in the village, dug a large cellar in the empty ground behind his house, and built it with wood, and then they went to the river to knock a lot of ice and put it in the ground, and the whole cellar was filled with ice, which was extremely cold, and it was cold when they walked in, and it was all hazy cold fog.

After preparing the cellar for the summer, Jiang Yuanyuan began to prepare some items for the New Year, and the objects that other people's families had already made were now in time for their family to do them.

Filled the sausage, marinated the meat, took out all the air-dried peppers from the autumn harvest and scraped them, found a brother to dry the corn kernels in the warehouse on a sunny day, and then put them away and tied them up, went to the mountain with Jiang Xuan Shengrong to pick up branches, built a house, and then, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, invited Jiang Qian, Sun Hui's second aunt and second uncle and Chen Mofan to have a New Year's dinner.

When I nested on the kang to warm up at night, outside, I finally got off the first college of the year.

Ruixue Mega Year, I hope this year, is a happy year!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yuanyuan opened the door and the first person she ushered in was Bai He, Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react yet.

"Yuanyuan!" Bai He smiled, her eyes were a little red, she was carrying a basket, she was wearing a thick cloak, she was carrying a package in one hand, leading a horse in the other, her eyes were very gentle.

"Please." Bai He let go of the hand holding the horse rope, she took the basket behind her, a white and tender girl was wrapped very tightly, she gnawed her fingers, wearing the same red cloak as her mother, the outside was a piece of white, this bright red is very conspicuous, red dazzling.

Bai He put the basket on the ground, this basket is very large, it can be seen that there are a lot of things underneath, and the child's side is also full of things, scattered and piled up, Bai He squatted on the ground, she gently leaned over and rubbed the tip of the child's nose, raised her hand and nodded the girl's nose.

"White snow, good girl." Bai He whispered, she picked up the basket and approached Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Yuanyuan had been standing by the door and watching, just came out of the house, she was warm all over, but I don't know why she started to feel a little cold now, and the belated coolness began to cover little by little from the toes.

"How to choose at this time." Jiang Yuanyuan took the basket, the child was very well-behaved, and kept gnawing on his fingers.

"It can't be delayed any longer." Bai He shook his head, "Yuanyuan! Please......"

Looking at her daughter again, Bai He turned around and got on the horse, her eyes were full of tenderness, looking at her woman, Bai He smiled very happily: "The child will be very happy with you." ”

"Yuanyuan! I will definitely repay this love. Bai He said loudly, she clamped the horse's belly, kicked her feet, the horse ran up, the horse ran fast, and disappeared for a while, Jiang Yuanyuan stood in place and watched, watching Bai He's red figure go away and disappear from vision.

"I'll wait for ......" Jiang Yuanyuan raised her hand and pulled the hair that flew to her mouth behind her ears.

Looking down, the girl was no longer as happy as she had just now, at this moment, her eyes were full of tears, her mouth was deflated, and she looked like she wanted to cry or not, and the people who watched couldn't help but feel pity.

The little face was red, it was very cold outside, Jiang Yuanyuan walked back to the house with the basket.

The child was taken out of the basket and put on the bed, scattered toys fell out, the child is now more than a year old, can sit, can crawl, but will not go, Jiang Yuanyuan pinched the child's face, and carefully tried to pick up the child with one hand.

"Little Baixue, mom will come back to pick you up, definitely!" comforted softly, and I didn't know if the child understood, but when I saw Bai Xue, I suddenly smiled, clapping my little hands and laughing happily.

Silent, but happy, happy.

put the child on the bed, gave a toy to play with herself, Jiang Yuanyuan took out all the clothes in the basket, they were all some small winter clothes, not a lot, the innermost, is a jade necklace, the style of jade is a simple auspicious cloud pattern, but the surrounding circle is tied with small golden bells, jingling bells.

There are only two pairs of shoes in the basket, and it doesn't look like they have been worn much, Jiang Yuanyuan thought about it, Bai He carries the basket on his back on weekdays, and it is estimated that the children have not walked on the ground.

There is a rattle in these toys, Jiang Yuanyuan picked it up and shook it in front of Bai Xue's eyes, Xiao Baixue was very happy to catch it, but she didn't catch it, she didn't cry, she slapped her face and laughed brightly, and her saliva flowed out.

"Little smile bag, you know giggles all day long." Jiang Yuanyuan said, she gave the rattle to Bai Xue, took off the cloak on Bai Xue's body and folded it carefully, this look knew that Bai He made it himself, the style was simple, but there were many small bells around the perimeter, the child couldn't speak, for fear that something would happen to the child but didn't see it, Bai He tied each of Bai Xue's clothes with small bells.

"Yuanyuan! Why don't you get up yet. Jiang Xuan pushed open the door with a big grin, and when he got closer, Jiang Yuanyuan was actually playing with children, "Jiang Yuanyuan!" This kid! Who is this kid? Yours? ”

There was suddenly an extra child in the room, Jiang Xuan was shocked and lost his brain, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at him speechlessly, her face was full of contempt, and she rolled her eyes deeply.

"Even if I can give birth, I can't give birth to such a big child overnight!" Jiang Yuanyuan said, she moved some into the bed, "Close the door, the cold wind has come in, and the child is carefully frozen." ”

Jiang Xuan closed the door in a daze, and when he walked in, he remembered whose child this was, and then thought of what Bai He said when he came to their house a few months ago, and it suddenly became coherent.

"The child of the white lotus?" Jiang Xuan asked, he sat up and gently pinched Bai Xue's face, "She really doesn't want this child?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Yuanyuan slapped Jiang Xuan's head suddenly, "Bai He is just a little something, temporarily put the child on our side to raise, what don't you want, how can there be a mother who doesn't want her own child." ”

Jiang Xuan stuck out his tongue, covered his head and rubbed it, he picked up a small toy and shook it in front of Bai Xue.

"What's the child's name?"

"Snow." Jiang Yuanyuan put down the toy and watched Jiang Xuan and Bai Xue play, she took the jade pendant and looked left and right, this jade pendant looked extraordinary, so don't lose it.

found his money jar, found a brocade belt and put the jade pendant up, carefully placed it under the box, and looked at Bai Xue's ignorant clapping and laughing, Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile.

"Eh, why doesn't this kid make a sound!" Jiang Xuan, who was having a good time, suddenly asked, he had been feeling that something was wrong just now, and he pondered for a while, it turned out that the child didn't make a sound!

"She can't speak." Jiang Yuanyuan's smile faded a little, "I can't speak, what's the fuss." ”

Jiang Xuan's hand grabbing his head paused, and then he also nodded with a smile, "That's it!" ”

"Eh! We have stewed chicken soup at home, I'll go and bring her a bowl of fresh chicken soup. Jiang Xuan patted his head and said, he ran to serve chicken soup, and when he went out, Jiang Yuanyuan watched Bai Xue play by herself, and sorted out her clothes.

These clothes are no longer worn in the spring, and it looks like they have to find a time to buy a few clothes and come back.

Just thinking about it, when she picked up a piece of clothing, a money bag suddenly fell out, Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned, she picked up the money bag and took it out to see, a bag of golden melon seeds.

"Bai Lotus ......" Jiang Yuanyuan whispered softly, she was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly remembered that they were still young, when Bai He was still living with her grandmother, Bai He suddenly came to their house in a mess one day, her clothes were torn, and her face was full of blood, she didn't say a word, silently borrowed water to take a bath, and then went home casually, Jiang Yuanyuan thought she was being bullied, but then she came back like this for a month, but the wounds were less and less until later, Suddenly, I didn't see anyone for a month or two, and then I just said where I went to my mother.

Now that she thinks about it, Bai He doesn't know when a lot of flaws are revealed in front of her, but she hasn't thought much about it.

"Xiao Baixue, your mother is hiding a lot of things!" Jiang Yuanyuan smiled.

"Chicken soup to pull!" Jiang Xuan rushed in, he came with chicken soup, and sat on the edge of the bed with an earnest face, Xiao Baixue may have also smelled this smell, and crawled over with a smile, Jiang Xuan blew it, and carefully fed a spoonful, Xiao Baixue smacked his mouth, and opened his mouth after drinking it, his eyes were full of expectation, staring straight at the chicken soup in Jiang Xuan's bowl.

"It's so cute, it's so cute." Jiang Xuan took a breath, his cheeks flushed, it was excited.

A bowl of chicken soup was drunk by Xiao Baixue, and after drinking, he patted his stomach unsatisfactorily, and took Jiang Xuan's hand to look into the bowl, Jiang Xuan was going to fill another bowl, but it was not too early now, and they had to go to the second aunt's house to send the festival, so they could only give up and talk to Xiao Baixue to go home and drink again.

took the child and went to the second uncle's house, Jiang Qian and Sun Hui were also there, they were all surprised, Jiang Yuanyuan had to explain again, so Xiao Baixue successfully won the favor of the second uncle and second aunt Jiang Qian and Sun Hui.

At noon, I stayed at the second uncle's side for lunch, and after I went back in the afternoon, Sheng Rong drank Chen Mofan also came, and Jiang Yuanyuan explained it once, so Xiao Baixue had two more people who doted on her.
