Chapter 275 The Third Month
Fang Shoucheng's family was staring at each other, I don't know which one Tang Xiaofu is singing, she doesn't look like a good talker, how can she say a few words casually, and she agrees to take her mother and sister to give Yu Zizhen and his wife two New Year's greetings?
If she thinks that her mother and daughter are empty-handed, she is reluctant to move, and she said: "Mom said, I want the eldest sister to bring the things sent~"
Tang Xiaofu looked suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, grandma doesn't want us to give her New Year's greetings, but wants to celebrate the New Year, but we don't dare to send these things anymore, for fear that grandma will dislike it, and the New Year is another quarrel, grandma loves to quarrel, but we don't love it and are ashamed." As he spoke, he sat down, snorting melon seeds and talking and laughing with the Caiyun sisters, ignoring Ruyi.
Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan also sat down and drank a cup of tea.
Ruyi didn't know what to do, hesitated for a moment and left, but within a few minutes, he came again, lowered his head, and looked at Fang Wenjing with slanted eyes from below: "Mom made a big table of dishes, please eat the eldest sister and two nieces." ”
Fang Wenjing said: "We have eaten enough at your uncle's house, so we won't go." ”
Ruyi lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with his toes: "If you don't go, I won't be able to go home for dinner." ”
It's going to be a big deal.
"Alright, let's go." Tang Xiaofu said.
Ruyi said resolutely: "Mom said, let the eldest sister bring the gift, and it will be laughed at if she returns to her parents' house empty-handed for the New Year." ”
Tang Xiaofu was impatient: "Speaking of which, I just want our family's things, I'm sorry, you didn't like it for you just now, we definitely won't send it over again to bring shame on ourselves!" We won't eat your family's food, grandma wants a New Year's gift, right? ”
Tang Xiaofu threw Ruyi two packets of brown sugar: "Take it!" Whatever the second aunt's family sends, we will send! Grandma isn't picky now. ”
Fang Wenjing didn't want to stay any longer, the Chinese New Year was too damaging, so she said goodbye to Fang Shoucheng's family, and left all the gifts for Fang Shouxin and his wife to Fang Shoucheng's old couple.
Fang Shoucheng only accepted two sets of clothes, and the rest asked them to take them back, pushed it for a long time, and accepted two bottles of wine and a cigarette, and the rest Fang Shoucheng resolutely refused to accept it.
Fang Wenjing had no choice but to do it, Fang Shoucheng's family kept sending their mother and daughter out of the village, and watched them go away before turning back.
Back home, after walking for two hours on the mountain road, the mother and daughter were not very hungry, because the food at Fang Shoucheng's house was all meat dishes and they were very full, so after being hungry, the mother and daughter ate some fruit and began to weave wool to pass the time.
Alas, it's too idle and not fun.
The third day of junior high school is the day to see the girl, which means that the uncle's family pays New Year's greetings to the aunt's family, so Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter got up early in the morning and started to get busy, and they had to prepare dishes to entertain Fang Wenqiang's two uncles.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, two uncles and aunts and seven cousins and cousins came, and brought a lot of things, a few catties of fried small fish, two leg of mutton, and half a basket of fried crispy dried sweet potatoes, a few catties of glutinous rice ball powder, a few catties of dried dried tender beans, dried tender eggplant and a lot of fried tofu puffs.
In particular, the leg of mutton is the most precious, almost no one in Hubei raises sheep, so mutton is rare, although Fang Wenqiang raises a few sheep every year, but it is sold to subsidize the family, so he killed one this year to eat for himself, and a goat is not heavy, so he gave them two legs of mutton, which is heavy enough.
In the past, when Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter lived in the Tang family, Fang Shoucheng did not dare to send his children to visit Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter during the New Year, for fear that the Tang family would give her a look in the future, but now that she has moved out, then according to the custom, the aunt will first pay tribute to her uncle for the New Year, and then the uncle will bow back, so she deliberately asked the two sons and the whole family to go to Fang Wenjing, in fact, it means to provoke the Tang family: our Wenjing's mother's family has people, and there are fewer bullies for their mothers!
Although I knew that the two cousins' families were coming when I left from the uncle's house yesterday, it can be seen that they are really here, Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter are still happy and flustered, who is not looking forward to having relatives to move around during the New Year, who wants to be cold!
Although Fang Wenjing has many sisters, they don't come and go, and Fang Wenjing is not willing to associate with them, before Fang Wenjing returned to her parents' house for the New Year, she witnessed several sisters quarreling, all of them are human spirits, how dare she, a weak chicken, walk around with them, and her sisters also look down on her, thinking that she is useless, and she is angry at her mother-in-law's house.
Now that the uncle's family is supporting her, of course she is full of emotion!
Caiyun's brothers and sisters gave Fang Wenjing New Year's greetings, Fang Wenjing took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago, and gave one to each child, but Caiyun didn't want them, saying that they were all adults, how could they ask Fang Wenjing for New Year's money.
The youngest of them was sixteen years old.
Fang Wenjing said: "My aunt was poor before, and I didn't give you New Year's money, but this time you will accept it, and if you meet your aunt's wishes, you won't give it next year." The Caiyun brothers and sisters accepted it, and when they opened it, they saw that the bread was a red envelope of two yuan.
After receiving the New Year's red envelope, it can't be returned, and the little aunt said that Fang Wenjing was too expensive.
Both families sat down around the dining table, and those who couldn't sit sat by the brazier.
According to customs, guests have to prepare to eat when they enter the door, but fortunately, Fang Wenjing simmered a big hanger of kelp pork rib soup early in the morning, as well as freshly steamed meat buns, Fang Wenjing gave Fang Wenqiang's two families a big bowl of pork rib soup each, Tang Xiaofu used a basin to put a lot of meat buns on the dining table, and invited the two uncles to eat with a smile.
The eldest aunt drank a few sips of soup and said sincerely: "This is too blessed, how can we be so generous, we are not outsiders." ”
Fang Wenjing said: "These things are not made for outsiders to eat, and they are not eaten by our family, so what is there to be but a blessing." ”
Fang Wenqiang and Fang Wenyong were eating meat buns and drinking steaming pork rib soup, while talking to Fang Wenjing, and the Xiaofu sisters sat by the brazier and listened to them.
The eldest aunt said that when the New Year begins, she will have to tell Fang Ming about her family, he is twenty years old.
Fang Ming couldn't see his expression when he lowered his head and drank the soup, but Tang Xiaofu guessed that he must be very shy now.
Fang Wenjing said: "Now that I am talking about my family, age is enough, but can the family afford the money to build a house?" ”
Fang Shoucheng's family has been living together for several generations, and the house is not spacious.
The eldest aunt sighed: "That's what worries me, but let's try it first, and see if there is any girl who doesn't dislike our family and is willing to marry." ”
Fang Ming suddenly whispered, "How can there be such a girl? Even if there is, it will definitely not be able to get married. ”
And all the people laughed when he said this.
The eldest aunt was angry and funny: "Then what do you say?" ”
Fang Ming said sullenly: "Wait until the conditions of our family are better in a few years, don't worry about it." ”
"You'll be old in a few years, I'm afraid it's hard to say good." The eldest uncle said.
"I won't be an old man in a few years, I'll be older." Fang Ming raised his head and argued.
