No matter where the New Year is, it is extremely lively, and the entire Xiaoxi Village is also in the atmosphere of the New Year, which is particularly lively.

Since the second day of junior high school, children from all families have visited the New Year to beg for small snacks such as sugar cakes and steamed buns.

Yang Xiaotao gave half of the family's New Year's goods to Aunt Zhao's family, and let Aunt Zhao make a New Year's gift to others, and it is better to keep it for herself.

Qiuluo's body is almost better, Yang Xiaotao didn't pay much attention to this child a few days ago, she just knew that Qiuluo grew up well, and after getting along, she found that this child was very old.

Every time Le'er wanted to take him out to play, he said to the little adult, "No, I'm going to help my sister do things." "If Le'er is annoyed for a long time, he will follow, even if he goes, that is, he stands quietly not far away, watching Le'er play by himself, or messing around with other friends, if Le'er accidentally falls, he will walk over and help him.

There are more spring buds at home, and Yang Xiaotao is much easier, Spring Buds are very diligent, and Yang Xiaotao is not needed for housework now, she is also happy, and she goes out to hang out when she has nothing to do.

No, Yang Xiaotao slipped into Wang's house bored today.

Wang was sitting in the room chatting with Yang Xiaotao.

"You know what? The eldest son of the Li family is back, and he is the big showman! Wang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said while knocking.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiaotao heard Wang's words suddenly pull onto the Li family, and asked curiously.

"Huang's Xiucai son is back, it's been a terrible thing these days, and he takes his son around the village every day, as if he doesn't know!" Wang said disdainfully.

"What's so strange about this, everyone knows what kind of person she looks like." Yang Xiaotao felt that it would be strange if the Huang family was not publicized.

Wang suddenly thought of something, leaned over to Yang Xiaotao and said, "His talented son didn't come back alone, he came back with a woman, and many people saw it." ”

Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang in confusion, and Wang said again, "I heard that it was a woman who was looking for outside, and I brought it back." ”

"Doesn't he have a daughter-in-law at home?" Yang Xiaotao remembered the Shen family she met last time she went to Li's house, and that woman was not a good bully.

"That's not what you're talking about! Shen Xiaoqin has upset the old Li family, and I heard that Li Ming is going to divorce her! "The Li Ming that the Wang family is talking about is Li Dalang, the eldest son of the Li family, and Shen Xiaoqin is Li Ming's daughter-in-law.

Wang saw that Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything and said, "I heard that after Li Ming came back this time, he directly wanted to take a concubine, Shen Xiaoqin heard this, and directly quit, and went back to his parents' house on the same day. Although Wang's mouth is broken, his heart is not bad, which is not unfair for Shen Xiaoqin.

Yang Xiaotao looked at her funny and said, "What do you care about other people's affairs?" ”

Wang said that this Shen Xiaoqin is actually a hard life, after marrying Li Ming, it didn't take long for this Li Ming to go to the exam, and finally took the exam, and then he was often in the field, and he had very little time to come back, so Shen Xiaoqin didn't come back after giving birth.

How many years has the Li family called Shen Xiaoqin as a cow and a horse, and now they say that they want to take concubines, the countryside is not as big as a family, they are all monogamous, unless their wives die or die of illness, they will not marry again, how can there be a concubine, this old Li family just loves to toss these things that they don't have.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to say, although she felt that Shen Xiaoqin was pitiful, but this matter had nothing to do with her, so she wouldn't go to join in the fun.

It's all someone else's business, just listen to it.

After chatting about some other inconsequential topics, Yang Xiaotao went back.

On the way back, Yang Xiaotao realized a sentence, that is, Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when the front foot had just finished chatting with the Li family, the back foot made her meet someone from the Li family.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to take a detour back, but she was already seen by the sharp-eyed Li Xi'er.

Li Xi'er is wearing a slightly ill-fitting dress today, looking at the embroidery face outside, I'm afraid it's not cheap, plus Li Xi'er's dress today, Yang Xiaotao was very surprised, the fat powder on her face is more attentive than before, and there is a silver hairpin in the double flat bun on her head, which looks much more beautiful overall.

Li Xi'er looked at Yang Xiaotao's surprised expression and instantly became proud, and walked towards Yang Xiaotao, followed by a woman, this woman belongs to the kind of person who is very good at dressing up, swears in a lily bun, exquisite makeup, and the fabric of the clothes is similar to that on Li Xi'er's body, and the whole person makes people look delicate and weak.

This person Yang Xiaotao had never seen it, and guessed that it was the woman brought back by Li Ming mentioned in Wang's mouth.

Yang Xiaotao does not belong to the kind of person who deliberately dresses herself, with a plain face, and a simple single screw bun on her head, this bun was taught to her by Aunt Zhao, compared to other complex buns, this one is much simpler, it looks neat, and she wears a warm cotton jacket.

"Yo! Isn't this a star peach! As soon as Li Xi'er opened her mouth, she immediately ruined her better outfit today.

Yang Xiaotao felt that it was better for this girl not to speak, destroying the beauty, and didn't want to deal with her, Yang Xiaotao wanted to bypass her and leave directly.

Li Xi'er saw that Yang Xiaotao didn't care about herself, and instantly felt very shameless, so she blocked Yang Xiaotao's way.

"Yang Xiaotao, stop!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Li Xi'er who was stopped in front of her, frowned and said, "Something?" ”

Li Xi'er turned her head to the woman next to her and said, "Sister-in-law Qinghe, she is Yang Xiaotao who killed my second brother." ”

The woman named Qinghe looked Yang Xiaotao up and down, and said softly, "I see that this girl is beautiful, not like she will kill people?" After Qinghe finished speaking, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief in surprise.

"Sister-in-law Qinghe, don't be deceived by her appearance, she is amazing!" Li Xi'er saw Qinghe praising Yang Xiaotao's beauty, and said with disdain.

Yang Xiaotao saw that the two were chatting happily, and didn't want to deal with them, so she bypassed Li Xi'er's hand blocking her way, and was about to leave.

Li Xi'er saw that Yang Xiaotao was leaving, and she didn't stop her, but said sharply, "Yang Xiaotao, let me tell you, sister-in-law Qinghe was brought back from the capital by my eldest brother, and it is easy to see people like you who have never seen the world, you better be careful, otherwise my eldest brother will not let you go." ”

Yang Xiaotao didn't bother to take care of her, and walked in the direction of home without looking back, and vaguely heard the woman named Qinghe saying, "How could that person be so impolite, it is really a rural village woman." ”

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao was not in a bad mood, the dog bit you, you were angry with the dog, and it was not you who was angry, this is what Yang Xiaotao thinks.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Le'er and Qiuluo squatting in the yard, their two little heads huddled together, not knowing what they were doing.

Yang Xiaotao walked closer to take a look, only to see Qiuluo holding a small branch in his hand, carefully writing a musical word on the dirt, Le'er said happily, "Is this Le'er's musical word?" ”

Qiuluo's tone replied, "It should be, that's what Xiaoshi's uncle wrote just now." ”

At this time, Le'er had already found Yang Xiaotao behind her, and immediately pointed to the word music on the ground and said, "Mother, this is Le'er's name!" ”

Qiuluo on the side also politely shouted, "Madam." ”

It turned out that today Le'er took Qiuluo to Xiaoshi's house to play, and it happened to catch up with Hu's brother to come over to deliver New Year's goods, Hu's brother Hu Hai is a showman, and he taught Xiaoshi to recognize a few words when he was bored.

Yang Xiaotao sat in the back room, sewing her own sanitary napkins in her hands, but she thought in her heart, about reading, Le'er was five years old, and she should go to kindergarten in her own time.

She knows the importance of words, but the embarrassment is that Le'er is a girl, and the academy in this era does not accept women, so Yang Xiaotao is a little difficult.

Looking at the sanitary napkin in her hand, Yang Xiaotao counted the days, her menstrual period was these days, she was busy these days and didn't have time to do it, it seemed that she was going to hurry, she still remembered the time when she first came, when she came to menstruation, Aunt Zhao brought her a few pieces of cloth, and she was dumbfounded, and the godmother also said that this thing can be used all the time, and she was directly petrified.

After that, Yang Xiaotao will make some disposable sanitary napkins with cotton cloth in advance every time, and use a little cotton in the sandwich to strengthen the absorption.

Yang Xiaotao also took it to Aunt Zhao and Yan Niu to try, at first the godmother said that this was too wasteful, but it was indeed much more comfortable and convenient.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Aunt Zhao called Yang Xiaotao to her house, because today, Aunt Zhao's family invited a matchmaker.

While waiting for the matchmaker, Aunt Zhao was a little restless.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the godmother in front of her funny, who was not sitting or standing, and said, "Godmother, please be a matchmaker, why are you so nervous?" ”

Aunt Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I'm just a little nervous." ”

Yang Xiaotao looked at Aunt Zhao's appearance, where is this nervous, she should be excited, after so many years, she can finally tell her son that she is a daughter-in-law, and it is natural for her godmother to be excited.

Under Yang Xiaotao's repeated persuasion, Aunt Zhao finally calmed down and chatted with Yang Xiaotao, but the topic still revolved around the marriage of the pillar.

At noon, the matchmaker finally came, and this matchmaker was the more famous Wang matchmaker in several nearby villages.

Looking at the matchmaker Wang who entered the house, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, this matchmaker looked like she was around fifty years old, the big mole on her face was very eye-catching, her lips were smeared with bright red lip grease, she was dressed very festively, and there was a big red flower on her head.

The matchmaker walked into the house with a smile, and Aunt Zhao immediately greeted her.

"Mrs. Wang, you are here, I can't sit still!" Aunt Zhao pulled Mrs. Wang and sat down.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Aunt Zhao, don't worry, I promise to give you a good marriage for your pillar." ”

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she immediately said happily: "Then thank you to Mrs. Wang, if it is done, there will be heavy thanks." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao on the side and smiled, "Oops! Which girl is this, she looks so smart, she doesn't say that people have it? ”

Yang Xiaotao immediately said embarrassedly: "Mrs. Wang, my children are five years old!" ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said with a pity on her face, "It's a pity, if you let the old woman tell you, I can find a big family." ”

Yang Xiaotao laughed with her and didn't speak again.

Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Zhao again and said with a smile: "What are the requirements for your pillar?" Like what it looks like? ”
