Because Xu Shu took the two children home for the New Year, the people in the village who would have gossiped about them behind their backs were naturally embarrassed to say it again.

Liu Hao never mentioned their gossip in front of Xu Shu, Xu Shu was very enthusiastic in front of the villagers and greeted everyone naturally.

When it comes to Liu Ming and Xu Jie's achievements, Xu Shu is quite proud.

The next day after Xu Shu and the others came back from their visit, it snowed in Duoni Village, and it snowed a lot.

"It's time for the snow to fall, I need to go and add some hay and water to the cows...... It's good to come back for the New Year, otherwise this cow will freeze to death......" Liu Hao looked at the snow and muttered to himself.

The child was so happy that he rolled up his sleeves and ran out, building a snowman, playing snowballs, and drawing on the snow...... An adult stood on the side and laughed: "This kid, it's like two fires on the buttocks, why aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”

Xu Shu took the charcoal and the brazier, and brought out the fire in the stove and put it on the charcoal to attract prosperity...... When the child has had enough of playing, he runs back, and his hands are roasted on the brazier, which is ambiguous, and it is really a joy.

With such a joyful picture, Xu Shu couldn't help but tear her throat and sing Yue Opera.

Liu Ming, who is usually a little introverted, couldn't help but hum along.

"Liu Ming, I'll go buy red paper when I go back, you have to help the villagers write couplets." Xu Shu sang a Yue opera and suddenly remembered this.

"Good ......"

"Can I write?" Xu Jie was also eager to try and wanted to perform.

"You...... You will write it in our family, and you will have to wait for your level to improve a little more, or it will be written in the next year. ”

Xu Shu bought red paper and brushes, and cut several couplets, the couplet was brought from the city, and Xu Shu didn't remember who came there. Liu Ming's handwriting is good, so let her write it for the neighbors.

Xu Jie gives it to his own family, and he can use his imagination at will.

He saw in the city that the word "Fu" in someone's house was pasted upside down, as if it was also played on the TV (they had a black and white TV at home, which was very small, and the "pig's nest" in the city also had one, which was collected when collecting waste. It means "blessed". Xu Jie thought it was interesting, so he had to post a few of them to play with himself.

Seeing the children having fun, Xu Shu didn't take it seriously.

Liu Ming sent couplets to the neighbors, and everyone was happy, and they all praised Liu Ming for being sensible and writing well with a brush.

"Look, Liu Ming, not only has good grades, but also writes well, and he is so sensible, learn from others." Some parents see that their children are not young and can only play, so they will angrily take out Liu Ming to compare.

In the New Year, I also want to make rice cakes, yellow cakes, roasted seeds, tofu...... What's more, just a few days are really enough for Xu Shu and Liu Hao to be busy.

There is also going to the temple to worship the ancestors and worship the Bodhisattva...... Although Xu Shu is not keen on doing these things, she follows the local customs, only once or twice a year, and she should be a child's house, so she also went. I also talked and laughed with the women who went to worship together.

For the sacrificial matter, Xu Shu was tired of it from the bottom of her heart, because there is such a custom in the countryside, and when her daughter marries, she basically only worships the man's ancestors, and the ancestors of her mother's family have nothing to do with her.

But now her mentality is much better, she has read more books, and she understands that the ancestor is actually a virtual thing, so let's make a name.

There is also the custom of cutting down cash cows.

The people in the village would determine which direction was auspicious according to the auspicious direction of the year, so they sent the children to the mountain in that direction to cut down some small trees, pasted small red paper, and inserted them in the patio, which is a cash cow.

The children who have learned the knowledge already know that the cash cow is not just a symbol, a kind of hope, but they have a good time with their accomplices.

"Ah, sister, the leaves you cut are too small, it's not a big money and it's not cost-effective."

"I like small money, big money is managed by adults, we are children, we can use change."

There was snow on the tree, and when I shook my hand, the snow fell with a clatter.

The ice on the ground is even more interesting, Liu Ming and Xu Jie like to play with the small, needle-like white ice, step on it, and play like music.

Liu Hao led the two children to cut down the cash cow, but he was also infected by their emotions, and became the king of children, rushing to step on those needle-like ice.

……

Chinese New Year's Eve rice is also abundant, with fruits, fish and meat...... Xu Shu learned some cooking skills from the school cafeteria chef again, and she cooked very carefully, and the taste of several dishes was super good.

This year seems to be more lively and interesting than ever, is it because of the short time spent in my hometown?

The atmosphere of the New Year's greeting was also very good, and everyone praised Xu Shu's good cooking skills......

Because the New Year is full of flavor, when the children have to go back to school in the city after the winter vacation, Liu Hao feels even more lost and empty. Xu Shu offered to let him go into the city together, and even Liu Ming called him, but he couldn't let go of his family, let alone live a wandering life in the city.

When they broke up, the family was very depressed, reluctant and attached...... However, the children's road is far away, and they can only wave goodbye to each other.

Xu Shu, who returned to the city, began to fight again.

Xu Shu is used to riding a tricycle to pick up rags and sell them on weekends, she is not like Liu Hao, as long as she can make money, she doesn't steal or rob, she doesn't feel ashamed of picking up rags.

She often receives old books, and she is reluctant to throw away the old books, so she wipes them down one by one.

These old books have become the spiritual food for Liu Ming and Xu Jie, who read them hungrily and forgot to eat and sleep.

With these, they have less and less material needs. They are satisfied if they are fed.

Xu Shu also likes to read some books in her spare time, so after lunch that day, everyone was resting, so she took advantage of the little time when everyone was resting to watch it.

The headmaster, who was passing by, was a little surprised to see that the helpers in the cafeteria could read books, so he stopped and asked her, "What are you reading?" ”

"Ah......, Jane Eyre." Xu Shu replied with some embarrassment.

"Ah, you also read famous books?" The headmaster was even more surprised.

"This is a masterpiece? I don't know, but I just watched it when I found it interesting. Xu Shu replied honestly.

"That's right...... You wait......" and he smiled and walked away.

After a while, the headmaster came over with a large pile of books from his office

。

"Oh, I keep these books in the air, it's a pity to sell them as scrap, if you like it, take it and read it." The principal smiled and put the pile of books in front of Xu Shu's eyes and said.

"Really? Great, thank you principal! Xu Shu was also polite, and calmly took the pile of books.

Xu Shu took these books home, and she was so happy, these books are all good books, and she really has to pay for them to buy them, Xu Shu is really reluctant.

"Liu Ming, Xu Jie, these books were given to me by Xu Jie's principal, do you like them? If you like it, take it and see it. On the weekend, Xu Shu told Liu Ming and Xu Jie.

"Wow, that's great!" Liu Ming jumped up happily.

Seriously, it's rare to see her so happy when you're in the countryside.

"We read the same books as a family, and we will get along like friends in the future, you two don't treat me as a mother, you have to be friends...... In this way, I dare to tell you if I have some wrong opinions. Xu Shu smiled.

"Thank you, Mom!" The two children laughed in unison.

"You read books and do homework at home, I go out to work, you must not go out casually, if you have anything, you can find the landlord and grandmother or go to Xu Jie's school to find a teacher." After breakfast, Xu Shu put a lot of books in front of the children and went out to work again.

Xu Shu's favorite thing to watch somehow spread in Xinran Primary School.

The teachers in the school knew that the canteen helpers liked to read, and they all felt very inspired, and they all gave Xu Shu the idle books at home.

It was in this process that Xu Shu met the cousin of a teacher in the school, who was a warehouse supervisor of a company, named Zhong Xi, and also liked to read some idle books. He is thirty-two, unmarried, and he looks good, but he is reluctant to talk about marriage, it is said that it is because of his parents at home. He has three older brothers and two sisters, he is the youngest, his mother and father are also married for the second time, two older brothers are half-brothers, and the other brother and two sisters are half-brothers. The relationship between the parents is not good, and they are clamoring for divorce at every turn, and they are still so tossed when they are old...... What made him even more annoyed was that the relationship between his brothers and sisters-in-law and their parents was also very stiff...... Anyway, the family is often restless.

Therefore, although many people came to him as a matchmaker to help him introduce his wife, he shook his head and refused.

He also told relatives and friends that he would only consider marriage when his parents were gone or when he didn't make a fuss.

He likes to live alone, like to play the erhu, like to carve, and like to play the flute...... Prefer to read books.

As a result, he is usually a loner, and there are many books at home, and many of them are bought from scrap sellers.

He heard about Xu Shu from his cousin, who was a teacher, and he wanted to come and see it.

So, he packed up some books that he didn't usually read, packed them and sent them directly to Xu Shu.

It was also a coincidence that Xu Shu happened to be washing clothes on the stone slab outside the door of the "pig's nest".

"Is Xu Shu at home?" After listening to his cousin's description, he actually guessed at a glance that the person in front of him was Lady Xu, but he deliberately asked.

"Ah, I am, ...... you?" Xu Shu looked at the person who came, a little strange, she didn't know each other

Yes.

"I'm Zhong Xi, the cousin of Teacher Zhong Juan of Xinran School, I heard that your family likes to read, I have a bag of books here, and I've been idle at home for a long time, do you want to read it?" He asked, placing it on the slate.

"Books? That's great! Xu Shu is also not polite, she is really unceremonious to accept books.

"Ah, they're all good books, will I give them back to you after reading them?" Xu Shu put down her clothes, looked through them, and saw that they were all good books, so she was embarrassed to accept them directly, so she thought about borrowing them.

"You can keep it, I have more books at home."

"That'...... I'm so embarrassed, I'm a little embarrassed. Come in, sit down and have a cup of tea. Although the other party is of the opposite sex, out of politeness, Xu Shu still greets people like this.

"No need, let's go next time......" Zhong Xi didn't go in, he was afraid that someone would chew his tongue at Xu Shu.

To be honest, at a glance, he already likes Xu Shu, and there is no reason at all, he just likes it: However, he is already a wife, and he is the mother of the two babies!

Xu Shu didn't think about it so much, just said "thank you" to the other party as usual, and then watched the other party leave gratefully.
