When Lian Qingshan and Lian Qinghe came back from New Year's greetings to a few cousins, it was already dark.

"Why did you come back so late? Have you eaten? Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's face was frozen pale and pale, but there was a red mark on his forehead, obviously kowtowing a little bruised, and couldn't help but ask distressedly.

"Alas, I've turned around most of the village, so I don't have time to eat! Hurry up, if you have anything to eat at home, hurry up, I'm hungry! Lian Qingshan looked at the tea on the table, picked up the tea cup from Cui'er's hand, and drank a whole bowl of tea with a bang, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and said.

"Really, New Year's greetings!" Cui'er didn't say anything in front of her brother and sister, went to the kitchen, and together with Dong's family, she heated up the dishes made at noon, and picked up a large plate of fried meatballs and meat pieces from outside on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, put them in the pot and stewed them, ordered some dumplings, and cooked a large pot of hot spicy soup, and then brought the steaming things to the table.

"Oops, it's still the smell of things at home!" Lian Qingshan saw Cui'er bring food up, hurriedly took it and put it on the table, looked at Cui'er's face was gloomy, and couldn't help but say to Cui'er, "Cui'er, it's really right that you didn't go out today, it's cold outside today, and there are more people who go there, but you have suffered." ”

"I don't know how to go home early if I'm sinned!" Cui'er glanced at Lian Qingshan and couldn't help muttering, but seeing Lian Qingshan's tired and hungry appearance, she felt distressed in her heart, and hurriedly brought the rest of the meal into the house.

"Come on, let's breathe out after drinking it first!" Cui'er served Lian Qingshan a bowl of spicy soup, which contained a lot of ginger slices, as well as some chili peppers and peppers, which were hot and spicy, and the effect of repelling the cold was first-class.

Even Qingshan drank a small bowl, and he felt that his stomach was starting to warm up, and the cold that had penetrated his head just now had already been dispelled, and he seemed to have more appetite. Glancing at Cui'er with appreciation, Lian Qingshan picked up the dishes on the table with chopsticks and began to eat.

Dong watched Cui'er serve soup to Lian Qingshan, and also followed Cui'er's example to serve a bowl to Lian Qinghe, which made Lian Qinghe, who was used to being beaten by Dong's on weekdays, feel flattered. I drank the soup and started to eat again, and my body was much warmer.

"By the way, what have you been doing at home for so long?" Lian Qingshan ate two bowls of rice in a row, and then he felt a little bottom in his stomach, and looked at Cui'er who was sitting on the side and asked.

"It's just chattering, my sister-in-law is kind to me, and she made me tea." Dong said to Lian Qingshan busily, feeling a little worried in his heart, afraid that her sister-in-law Cui'er had just promised her that she would let her younger brother come to work.

"Hmm. It's a chatter. Cui'er looked at Dong's hurried answer, and guessed what she was thinking in her heart, for the sake of her doing well today, Cui'er continued, "It's really not easy for my brother and sister's family. If we need someone to open the mountain in the spring, let a few younger brothers of my brother and sister's family come over to help, right? ”

As soon as Dong heard Cui'er's words, his eyes lit up, and he thought that his sister-in-law was really good, and he told his eldest brother about it before he could speak.

"Okay, it's all in-laws. If we want to invite someone in the spring, let Datong come over. Even Qingshan said without even thinking about it.

In Lian Qingshan's view, this Dong family is the Yue family of his younger brother Qinghe, and it is naturally his own family's in-laws, even if his father and mother are gone. The relationship between the in-laws can't be broken, and when you don't have any spare strength, it's okay, but now that you have spare strength, it's not a big deal to help your in-laws.

"Big brother, it's so good to have your words!" Dong Shi hurriedly stood up and blessed Lian Qingshan and Cui'er. His face was full of joy.

When Lian Qinghe was talking to the Dong family, he was a little embarrassed and wanted to stop him, but he felt that he didn't have the ability to help his brother-in-law, and he also stopped his daughter-in-law from asking for help from his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Lian Qinghe's expression was a little complicated, he looked at Dong's happy face like a flower, and he didn't say anything if he wanted to excuse himself, but he was a little panicked in his heart, and he bit the ball fiercely and chewed it hard in his mouth.

In Dong's view, his brother and sister-in-law are all capable people, one has the ability to hunt in the mountains, and the other has the kung fu to make money. Not to mention the amount of silver, even if only a little bit of it is revealed from the fingers to himself, it is enough for his brothers to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law.

If Cui'er knew what Dong was thinking, she would definitely tell Dong that she was thinking too much, but Cui'er couldn't hear it, and looking at Dong's enthusiastic appearance, she couldn't bear to disturb her enthusiasm, so she went with her.

"By the way, on the second day of the Lunar New Year next year, if my younger siblings go back to their parents' house, it is better to bring some meat back, and the noodles will look better." Cui'er thought about Dong's crying poverty with herself, knowing that she was definitely reluctant to buy meat back, thinking that there was still a lot of meat in the snow box behind her house, so she took a large piece of about five or six catties out and gave it to Dong.

"Sister-in-law, how embarrassing is this...... Dong said embarrassed, but he didn't have any ambiguity in his hand and brought the meat over, and after weighing it in his hand, there were five catties up, and the smile on Dong's face became brighter and brighter.

"What's so embarrassing, this meat is for the two of you to take back to honor the old man. My younger siblings can't go back to their parents' house a few times a year, so this meat is given to the old man so that they can be happy. Cui'er said with a smile, suddenly remembering her parents in her previous life, and only felt sour in her heart.

Even Qingshan suddenly saw Cui'er's face that instantly became gloomy, thinking that she was thinking of her own life experience, a yellow flower girl didn't know why she was thrown into the mountains, and she didn't even know if her father and mother were still there...... Thinking of this, Lian Qingshan felt sorry for Cui'er, and said to Cui'er busily, "Cui'er, let's go to my mother's house tomorrow, it can be regarded as your mother's house!" ”

"Well, good!" Lian Qingshan's words dragged Cui'er out of her memories, thinking that in this life, there is Lian Qingshan, who has always been in love with herself, there are cute girls and little tigers, there are Aunt Lu who loves her, and the child in her belly, Cui'er took a deep breath and left all the depression in her heart behind.

Seeing Cui'er's face improve, Lian Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and ate with Lian Qinghe for a while. sent Lian Qinghe's family away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because he thought about going to Aunt Lu's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings, early the next morning, Lian Qingshan got up with the children, and even enthusiastically and thoughtfully helped Cui'er pack up the gifts for Aunt Lu's family.

The sun had just risen. Lian Qingshan took Cui'er, Da Niu and Xiaohu, and drove the ox cart to Lu Da Niang's house, although they were all in a village, but the weather was very cold, and Lian Qingshan was afraid that his wife and children would freeze, so Rao was only less than a quarter of an hour away, and he still set up an ox cart.

When they arrived at the door of Aunt Lu's house, Huaizhi, who was standing in the yard, saw them at once, and hurriedly shouted to the house that the eldest sister was back, and rushed to the door of his house. opened the courtyard gate and helped Lian Qingshan lead the ox cart into the courtyard.

"Oh, Cui'er is back?" When Aunt Lu came out of the house, her face was full of red light, obviously very happy for Cui'er's arrival. When she helped Cui'er get out of the ox cart, and when she saw Cui'er's stomach that couldn't be covered by her heavy cotton clothes, she said very worriedly, "You kid, we live in a village, just call me over if you miss me, you still run out in such a cold day." What if you hurt the child in the belly! ”

"Mother, it's okay, isn't this Qingshan driving the car over, I'm fine!" Cui'er immediately heard Aunt Lu's complaint about the concern, and said with a smile to comfort her.

"Hurry up and get inside, it's cold outside!" Aunt Lu looked at Cui'er's face and was indeed very good, without any discomfort. Only then did he put his mind at ease and hurriedly let Cui'er into the house.

"Mother, Huazhi hasn't come back yet?" After Cui'er entered the house, she saw that Songzhi and Zheng both came out, but she didn't see Huazhi. He asked.

"Well, she hasn't come back yet, she's far away, I'm afraid she won't be back until noon." Aunt Lu looked at Cui'er's face and replied with a smile.

"Why don't I let Aoyama pick them up?" Cui'er thought that the Litou Village where Huazhi married was still some distance away from her own backer, and she was a little worried that they would be cold, so she suggested.

"Who are you going to pick up?" As soon as Cui'er's words fell, she heard a crisp laugh outside, and a figure walked in as soon as she lifted the curtain of the door, it was none other than Huazhi!

"Oh, I was saying I was going to pick you up, and you're coming back soon!" Cui'er looked at Huazhi, the smile on her face was even better, she stood up busily, walked to Huazhi, pulled Huazhi to look left and right, and confirmed that Huazhi's face was good, so she smiled and nodded.

"That's not it! Sister, sit down quickly, you're tired from having a big belly, right? Hua Zhi smiled and helped Cui'er sit back on the edge of the kang, the two of them were so affectionate that they couldn't even compare to their sisters.

Aunt Lu looked at the two of them as if they were a person, and went to the kitchen with a smile, this girl has to get some delicious food and drink when she goes back to her parents' house! Zheng watched her mother-in-law go to the kitchen, and she hurriedly followed, and the two aunts and grandmothers sitting on the kang were chatting happily and didn't notice this small change.

The two of them, the eldest girl and the little tiger, came to Fugen to play with him, because Cui'er brought a lot of fruits and snacks or something, and the three children played while eating, and soon became acquainted, laughing and laughing, not at all.

Lian Qingshan took Songzhi, Huaizhi and Du Ming to move all the things on the ox cart into the house, rice, flour, meat and eggs, everything, seeing these Huazhi couldn't help but giggle, saying that the eldest sister would compare herself to when she came home.

He Meimei had a lunch, and before Cui'er left, she remembered the red envelope she had prepared, first for Huaizhi and Fugen, a small one, which contained a pair of silver peanuts weighing one penny.

Then he gave Zheng and Huazhi a big one, and this big red envelope contained one or two silver ingots, which were not so much red envelopes, but rather a change of law to send the original wages to the two of them.

When Cui'er was about to go out, she secretly stuffed a small purse for Aunt Lu, and there were two silver ingots in the purse, Aunt Lu refused to accept it at first, but Cui'er persuaded her for a long time, saying that it was a daughter's filial piety to her father's mind, and Aunt Lu accepted it with a smile.

After finishing the meal and speaking, Cui'er felt a little tired, said goodbye to the people of the Lu family one by one, and made an appointment with Aunt Lu to see her when she was fine, and Cui'er followed Lian Qingshan back home in an ox cart.

I don't know if it's because I'm in a good mood or a little tired, Cui'er fell asleep after returning home, and slept very sweetly without dreams all night.
