Chapter 156

Looking at the big girl's black and white eyes, as well as the little face with a little flesh, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but look at her softly, and then touched the top of her head, and said in her heart that if one day her eldest girl grows up and wants to be a family, she will definitely choose the best husband for the eldest girl. [No pop-ups. She doesn't know if the eldest girl will remember that painful experience in the future, or when the eldest girl is sensible, will she understand what those encounters mean to her, but Lin Baozhu knows that if there is a man who dislikes the eldest girl because of that, then that man is unreliable.

The couple's life is very short, so short that it is a lifetime in the blink of an eye. But it is very long, long to every day, mutual support and mutual love through all kinds of ups and downs, hardships and obstacles, if there is a dissincerity, then no matter how good the day is, it is like a person who has been mixed with glass slag and is painful.

She would rather take care of the eldest girl for a lifetime, let her live a carefree life under the protection of Zhang Ji, rather than let her be injured by glass slag and taste the suffering of the world again.

Along the way, we arrived at Dashi Village, and as soon as I entered the village, someone greeted me with a festive face, followed by a burst of firecrackers. The Lu family's mother and concubine seem to be bright people, but there is nothing discordant, so they just happily accept the bride into the door.

Not to mention how the concubines properly and decently placed the female relatives who came to send off their relatives, let's just say that when the Lu family's mother saw the new daughter-in-law, she was happy and smiled, and she responded with a stack of voices, and there was no shortage of red envelopes.

In fact, earlier, when she talked to Sister-in-law Mei, the matchmaker, about the process of getting married, Sister-in-law Mei disagreed with her so solemnly attaching importance to Manliang looking for this daughter-in-law. It's really because there is no such precedent in the village, and it is firecrackers and donkey carts and blows to pick up relatives, and when she comes back, she is given a red seal like the people who pay attention to it outside, and the people in the village are not allowed to scold her behind her back.

However, the Lu family's mother can think about it, probably because she has lived for a long time, and she has also seen a lot of gossip from outsiders. She said that the first few daughters-in-law are all from the village, but the daughter-in-law who is full of grain is married from Peachtree Bay.

Speaking of which, the old lady is also clear about those things in the village, and knows that many idle mothers-in-law outside who have nothing to do always like to step on the white and red to say some gossip, I am afraid that they will think that Xing'er's mother's family is in the village, and she is an honest young person who says something unpleasant, or provokes the relationship between a few concubines. To be honest, if a few concubines really play tricks, Xing'er, who is new to the door in the outer village, is not an opponent at all.

So no matter how others persuaded her, she made up her mind to give Xing'er a face, and let others know that she valued this new daughter-in-law.

She didn't say anything about this, but those who have gone through Lu Manliang's wedding with Xing'er can probably understand. Naturally, the few people who sent off relatives on the Ma family's side looked at each other and smiled, and they were extremely satisfied with the Lu family's arrangement, at least, the family didn't have to worry about Xing'er being made difficult by the rules in her mother-in-law's house.

After the happy event of the apricots in the wax moon, the days passed like flying, and they entered the twentieth month of the wax month. Zhang Kee's workshop has also officially closed, of course, the inventory sold in the shop in the remaining days is naturally sufficient.

In the past few days, not to mention that Zhang Ji's tea is a little out of stock, but some dim sum and dried food in the shop are in short supply. For this reason, Lin Baozhu could only delay the opening time of the county store, because the order volume increased sharply at the end of the year, and he really did not have the energy to buy and sell in the county seat.

In the next few days, there were two heavy snowfalls, but even the gloomy and cold weather could not stop the joy of the New Year. Many people in the village have started to buy meat stews, and some have also started to buy New Year's goods.

Because of guarding Zhang Ji, there is naturally no need to go to the outside shop to scramble to buy food.

After the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the children in the village began to sing ballads, and the twenty-three sugar melons were sticky; Twenty-four sweep the house; Twenty-five grinding tofu; Twenty-six stewed meats; Twenty-seven slaughtered roosters; twenty-eight handfuls of facial hair; Twenty-nine steamed steamed buns; Stay up for 30 nights, and twist and twist on the first day of the new year. Seeing the children frolicking happily in groups, Lin Baozhu felt that he really had a New Year's atmosphere in his heart.

Originally, her husband was not at home and there was no news, so she didn't have the heart to do anything about the New Year. Even if she was accompanied by the eldest girl, and Xiu Niang's sister-in-law and Zhao Di came to talk and rest every once in a while, it didn't break the loneliness in her heart. In addition, in her previous life, the Chinese New Year seemed to be an ordinary day, nothing special at all, but it made her accustomed to days without expectations.

But now, listening to the children playing happily on the street, and seeing the smoke of cooking in every house, it seems that overnight, the whole village is completely fragrant with the smell of food and meat. It made Lin Baozhu's heart itch.

Thinking of this, Lin Baozhu looked at the big girl who was quietly following her slowly, and suddenly wanted to let the big girl have a warm and comfortable New Year.

In the dim sky and cold weather, Lin Baozhu and the eldest girl, who were sitting in the room with soft and warm kang quilts, were very comfortable and lazy. The oil lamp in the house was on, and the bean-sized flames jumped gently, illuminating the room with orange and total warmth. There is some charcoal fire in the brazier at the bottom of the kang edge, but it is comfortable and pleasant in this cold winter.

Early the next morning, the sky finally cleared after a long overcast. However, due to the gloomy and rainy snow for several days, a thick layer also fell in the yard, and it was really white.

However, it was sunny, and the day was just the day of sweeping the house on the 24th day of the lunar month. It's also a shame that Lin Baozhu buys some candy snacks every time he goes to the market, so Rao doesn't make sugar melons, and he doesn't hinder anything.

When the eldest girl saw that her aunt had started to clean, she was naturally not to be outdone, and followed her hand in hand. She was small and couldn't do a lot of work, but it didn't prevent her from bending the corners of her mouth to wash the rag and hand the broom to her uncle.

After working for most of the day, the house was finally cleaned thoroughly. Seeing that the originally white and pure big girl had also become a little flower cat, Lin Baozhu couldn't help laughing, and then hugged the big girl and smiled.

The eldest girl looked at her aunt innocently, looking up at her little face, her eyes full of doubts. In the end, Lin Baozhu pulled her to wash her face, and when she saw the little dirty face reflected in the water, the eldest girl blushed embarrassedly. In the end, under Lin Baozhu's gaze, he was ashamed to plunge into his uncle's arms for a long time and couldn't pull it out.

Lin Baozhu is happy and comforted by the changes of the eldest girl in recent days, and her subtle guidance has finally been wasted. Sometimes when she does it herself, she is terrified, for fear that she will make the big girl change back to her previous appearance.

Fortunately, Aunt Tian discovered her entanglement and enlightened her, but she found that she almost ignored the original intention of interacting with people. As long as it is well-intentioned and cherishes the eldest girl from the bottom of my heart, how can I hurt her?

After cleaning, the two of them got together and ate a hot meal. Thinking that he hadn't taken a bath a few days ago, Lin Baozhu pulled the two of them to take a hot bath together. When lying on the kang, she told a little story to the eldest girl as usual, under the orange and jumping candlelight, the gentle woman hugged the petite and pure child and whispered the picture books she had listened to in her previous life.

And the eldest girl has long been accustomed to her aunt's intimate actions, although she is shy on her face, but she is happy in her heart. My aunt's arms were warm and soft, just like my aunt, a person who made her unspeakably attached.

The eldest girl didn't know what this feeling was, as if she had envied other people's children who would be coquettish with their mothers. At that time, she thought that as long as she had her mother's care and care, it would be the happiest thing in the world.

But now, feeling the warmth brought by her aunt and the love that has penetrated into her heart, she suddenly feels as if she no longer feels that it is the happiest thing to be cared for by her mother. As long as her aunt is there, her life is full of sunshine, even in winter, she will not feel cold.

After the eldest girl fell asleep, Lin Baozhu carefully put the person into the quilt, and then tucked the corner of the quilt for her. It was this casual action, but she paused for a moment and didn't come back to her senses.

I don't know if my man has arrived in Beiling, why has it been so long and there has been no letter. I don't know if it's cold in winter over there, and if he can be fed and clothed. It seems to be a sudden mood, she misses that man very much, if that man is here now, she can't say that she will eat it again.

These days, she deliberately suppressed her own feelings, for fear of worrying back and forth when she thought of that man. Now that he really thinks about it, he still doesn't dare to think about whether he will start fighting on the North Ridge side.

In fact, she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't even dare to inquire about the news outside, for fear that there would be some letters that she couldn't accept. She would rather just wait, only when he can't return home after a year and a half of going to business, and she doesn't want to be afraid of an accident every day.

In the next few days, Lin Baozhu and the eldest girl were very busy. Grinding beans to make tofu, buying pork and marinating bacon, Lin Baozhu also specially bought some pig intestines that no one wanted to make some flavored sausages with casings. Of course, after it is done, I have to send some favors.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, taking advantage of the last market in the town, Lin Baozhu went to buy a new dress for the eldest girl. Of course, Shi Dayong and his family also took Zhao Di to purchase items.

Because the past few days have been the most prosperous time in the town, Zhang Ji has not closed the door yet, and a few people naturally will not pull down to the shop to take a look. Originally, I only thought that the goods in Zhang Ji's shop were a little out of stock, but when they got closer, a few people were shocked by the bustling people who came to buy and couldn't enter the door for a long time.

It's also too busy, and even though the shopkeeper Li who was helping to settle accounts on the counter in the shop saw the owner, he couldn't spare time to entertain him. In fact, since His Royal Highness King Rui personally praised Zhang Ji, the officials and officials in the nearby and even in the county town and the foreign owners have rushed to order food and snacks for the New Year.

And ordinary people, although they will not rush to buy the winter tea of the white cockscomb and the good eagle tea or tea sand, they will also rush to buy a few catties of not expensive yuba and spicy duans to go home to try it.

That's it, Zhang Ji hasn't promoted according to Lin Baozhu's plan, and the goods produced by the town's workshop are no longer enough. And the workshop in the village delivers goods every three days, and there are also shops in several nearby towns that sell Zhang Ji's tea and food on consignment, so where is the idea of stock, where is enough for promotion.

It is only now that Lin Baozhu has completely seen that Zhang Ji is real fire. With the praise of His Royal Highness King Rui in the front, and the praise of merchants and scholars in the back, at least Zhang Ji is on the boundary of Taoxi County, which is already unique.

It wasn't until the twenty-eighth of the lunar month that the shopkeeper Li brought the account book to Zhang's house in Taoxi County to pay the account, and Lin Baozhu really understood what it meant to make a lot of money. Although it is not as profitable as the first white cockscomb, it is also a amount that she did not expect later.
