Chapter 66: Chinese New Year
Hearing Yunzhu say this, Ning Lin responded with a smile, and the two talked and laughed, and drove the donkey cart home.
The Spring Festival couplets of the two families have been pasted, and Yunzhu looked at the jubilant Spring Festival couplets, and her heart became more and more happy.
The donkey cart was placed, and Ning Lin paid New Year's greetings, and the two went home separately.
Yun Shi was in the house, and when he saw Yun Zhu coming back, he greeted him with a smile and asked her to get some hot water to wash her hands and warm up.
"Mother, I'll help you." After washing his hands and changing his clothes at home, Yun Zhu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help Yun Clan and noodles, but was pushed aside by Yun Clan.
"For the New Year, you should also rest, this work is not tiring, my mother can do it herself. There are melon seeds and peanuts, you can grab them and eat them yourself, if you are bored, you can go next door to play with your Ning Lingge. Yun Shi instructed Yun Zhu while making a face.
Hearing her say this, Yun Zhu had no choice but to nod and sit on the kang to chat with Yun Clan.
After finishing the noodles, and made the meat filling of the dumplings, the mother and daughter were idle and bored, so they simply cut the window flowers at home, this was the first time Yunzhu cut the window flowers, and she couldn't help but feel strange, she looked at the red paper in Yun's hands, turned into beautiful window flowers.
"Mother, it's so beautiful!" I like every window flower, and I don't even want to stick it on the window, for fear that this will destroy the beauty of the window flower.
"If you like it, my mother will cut more for you in the future. These are sent to your Uncle Ning's house, and these mothers are posted on the windows of our mothers. Seeing that Yun Zhu liked it so much, Yun smiled and spoke, she picked out a few cards with good meanings and handed them to Yun Zhu, and the rest were pasted and carefully pasted on the window.
In response, Yun Zhu sent the window flower that Yun gave him to the next door, and looking at the window flower that Yun Zhu brought, the father and son of the Ning family were naturally amazed.
After chatting for a while, Yunzhu returned home, her face was almost gone, and the two moved the panel to the kang, and the two made dumplings while talking and laughing.
The New Year is to be observed, Yunzhu can't help but be embarrassed, in this ancient world, there was no TV, and there was no broadcast, how do you spend a long night!
After wrapping the dumplings, Yun Zhu lay on the kang with a resentful face, seeing her like this, Yun couldn't help laughing, she reached out and touched Yun Zhu's head, and let her roll on the kang.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, finally it was night, because it was the New Year, every room was lit with oil lamps, and Yunzhu sat on the kang, waiting for Yun's to cook dumplings.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Yunzhu was a little surprised, at this time, who would come to his home?
Coming out of the house, Yun Zhu saw Yun Shi standing at the door of the stove room, Yun Zhu said to Yun Shi and walked towards the courtyard door.
"Who?" Without opening the door rashly, Yun Zhu opened his mouth and asked, a deep voice came, with a sense of familiarity, making Yun Zhu slightly stunned, is he?
Quickly opened the courtyard door, Shu Sirui was standing outside the door, carrying a few pheasants and rabbits in his hands.
"Why did you get so many pheasants and rabbits?" Looking at the things in Shu Sirui's hand, Yun Zhu was a little surprised, you must know that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is reasonable to say that it should be at home for the New Year, but Shu Sirui sent live pheasants and rabbits, which can be seen that he just went up the mountain to fight today.
"It's the New Year, gifts." Shu Sirui didn't like to talk in the first place, and when he heard Yun Zhu say this, he thought she was disgusted, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"Come in, it's cold outside." Hurriedly beckoned Shu Sirui to come in, Yunzhu brought the pheasant and rabbit in, and then found a place to settle it, and let Shu Sirui into the house.
"It's a big New Year, why don't you celebrate the New Year at home, but come to give me something? I'm embarrassed to be like this! Anyway, Yunzhu is grateful to Shu Sirui, it is freezing this day, and it is rare to catch some wild things, but because of his previous words, he sent pheasants and rabbits to himself again and again, which had to make Yunzhu feel moved.
"Pearl, what is this?" Yun came in from the outside and couldn't help but be startled when he saw Shu Sirui, who was completely unfamiliar.
"Mother, this is Shu Sirui, the person who sent us pheasants and rabbits, and he came to send us something for the New Year! Leave him at home to eat dumplings at night, right? Seeing the Yun clan enter the house, Yun Zhu hurriedly opened his mouth and introduced the Yun clan.
"Done! I cooked a lot of dumplings! However, don't people have to go home for the New Year? I don't mean anything else, it's just ......" Yun Shi was a little speechless, she looked at Yun Zhu, and wanted Yun Zhu to help explain.
"Shu Sirui, my mother really doesn't mean anything else, don't get me wrong, are you willing to stay at my house and eat dumplings?" Seeing Yun's cramped face, Yun looked at Shu Sirui with a smile and asked her opinion.
"Hmm." In response, Shu Sirui nodded, indicating that he didn't care, and also expressed his willingness to stay.
Seeing Shu Sirui nodding, the smile on Yun Zhu's face deepened, and Yun was afraid that he was saying the wrong thing, so he hurried out of the house to cook dumplings.
"By the way, you haven't said what I just asked you?" Thinking that what he said before was interrupted by Yun Clan's coming in, Yun Zhu asked again.
"It's just me." Shu Sirui was silent for a moment, and then he replied, Yun Zhu was a little surprised, and after blinking his eyes, he thought about reaching out and touching Shu Sirui's head, which was regarded as comforting him.
Before stretching out his hand, Yun Zhu looked at the difference in height between the two people, and after thinking about it, he took off his shoes and put on the kang, stood on the edge of the kang and touched Shu Sirui's head, "It's okay, don't be sad, you can spend the New Year at my house, we are good friends." ”
Looking at Yun Zhu's actions, a smile flashed in Shu Sirui's eyes, and he suddenly felt that it was a very correct choice for him to come over from the barracks.
Soon, the dumplings were cooked, Yun Zhu took the opportunity of letting Shu Sirui help set off the firecrackers, pulled Yun into the kitchen, and whispered to Yun Shi Don't ask Shu Sirui about his parents, Yun Shi listened to Yun Zhu, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Shu Sirui, she could see that Shu Sirui seemed to be a few years older than Yun Zhu, but he was stronger.
Contrary to Yun Zhu and Yun's expectations, Shu Sirui almost ate up the dumplings that he thought were enough, so Yun hurriedly went to the stove room and cooked some of the dumplings that were left for tomorrow morning, which was enough for three people to eat.
After eating, it was already completely dark, Yun Zhu looked at Yun Shi, and then looked at Shu Sirui, a little worried about how to place Shu Sirui, if it was known that a man lived in his house, even if it was a young man, he was afraid that he would be said.
After thinking about it, Yunzhu decided to send Shu Sirui to Ning's house, of course, to ask for Shu Sirui's opinion in this way.
"No, I'm leaving. Auntie, Happy New Year. With a wave of his hand, Shu Sirui saluted the Yun family, and after bowing to the New Year, he walked straight to the door.
"Whoa! You wait! Yun hurriedly called out to him, no matter what, Shu Sirui gave himself a New Year's greeting just now, and he has no family, so he should give a red envelope.
Stuffing the red envelope into Shu Sirui's hand, Yun Shi smiled and said, "I also wish you a good New Year, and you can often come to your aunt's house to play when you have the opportunity in the future." ”
Looking at the red envelope in his hand, surprise flashed in Shu Sirui's eyes, there was not much money in it, but it was a heart, Shu Sirui put away the red envelope, and then walked out of the courtyard gate, and soon disappeared from the sight of Yunzhu's mother and daughter.
"A poor boy too." Yun sighed, then locked the door with Yun Zhu and hugged her back to the house.
After walking out of a distance, Shu Sirui turned his head and looked towards Yunzhu's house, if he looked closely at this time, he would find that Shu Sirui's lips also had a smile.
Pulling out the horse hidden in the shadows, Shu Sirui turned over and disappeared into the village after a while.
Finally stayed up until midnight, Yun Zhu kowtowed to Yun's and accepted the red envelope, and then returned to his house, as soon as his head touched the pillow, Yun Zhu fell asleep, and waited until the next morning, it was still Yun's call to call her, and then he woke her up from the kang.
After changing into new clothes, combing her hair into a bun, and after breakfast, Yunzhu went to Ning's house to pay New Year's greetings, and of course, she also received a red envelope.
Because I told Mr. Yun before, I would go home in the second year of junior high school.
Don't do business during the New Year, Yunzhu was idle and bored, so he simply found Ning Lin, and the two walked around the village casually, occasionally meeting a villager, so they smiled and greeted the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, the Yun family and Yun Zhu were going to the Yun family to pay New Year's greetings, although they had given New Year's gifts before, but after all, they had to go back again for the New Year, so Yun Zhu proposed to bring a pheasant back, which was not only good-looking, but also better than worrying about what to give, Yun nodded again and again after listening, obviously agreeing with Yun Zhu's suggestion.
After locking the door, the mother and mother returned to Yun's house with pheasants.
Yunzhu's aunt and second aunt have come back, seeing Yunzhu's mother and daughter wearing new clothes and coming back with pheasants, they can't help but be a little surprised, obviously, they don't know that Yunzhu's family has built a new house, they haven't seen Yunzhu and Yunzhu before, and the two only think that they don't want to come out.
After paying New Year's greetings one by one, Yun and Yun Zhu found a stool to sit down, Yun Zhu's aunt and second aunt naturally interrogated, Yun didn't care about it, so he had to say a vague idea.
"Auntie, second aunt, don't you know, how magnificent the house of the Yunzhu family is, I estimate that it will cost three or four hundred taels to build a house!" Zhang sat on the side and said sourly, Yunzhu's aunt and second aunt glanced at each other, and the doubts in their eyes deepened.
Yunzhu glanced at Zhang's family, if it wasn't for the New Year, she really didn't want to come back with her mother, in this family, she didn't want to see Zhang's face the most, every time she saw her, Yunzhu had the idea of wanting to come forward and beat her.
"Auntie, second aunt, don't listen to my second aunt's nonsense, it's still three or four hundred taels, if you really have so much money, how good it would be for me and my mother to go to the town to buy a house, why bother building a house in the countryside, and get up early every day to work at night?" Although I don't have a good impression of my aunt and second aunt, I don't have a good impression of it, but no matter what, it's better than Zhang's.
"Second aunt, you just said three or four hundred taels, don't you know what kind of work can make so much money? If you knew, you might as well tell us about it, so that we can all live in a house built for three or four hundred taels! ”
