Chapter 145: New Year

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! It was obviously a beautiful Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but the atmosphere was not so good, although the table was full of precious jade food, but An Xiuer ate it, but felt that it was tasteless, and she didn't taste the taste of these dishes.

Finally, Wu Shi took everyone to listen to the play, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally avoiding everyone from gathering together and hating each other.

An Xiuer still likes to listen to dramas, Hua Dan and famous actors on the stage are babbling and singing, the tone is melodious and tactful, very attractive, a few simple lines, a few simple actions, and a person's life is interpreted.

This troupe is really not comparable to the grass stage troupe in the countryside, not to mention anything else, there are a lot more musical instruments alone, and the clothes worn by these horns are more gorgeous, and the drama is also more vigorous.

But for some reason, An Xiuer couldn't get back the feeling of listening to a lot of dramas before, and the words that Ye Jingshu said just now always appeared in her eyes, and she felt that the Zhang family's drama was more dramatic than what was sung in this drama.

She began to wander as she listened, and fortunately she had slept during the day, otherwise she would have already taken a nap.

After the singing opera left, it was acrobatics, and the Zhang family specially recruited artists from the folk and invited them to come over to perform, most of which were to perform some tricks such as breathing fire in the mouth, swallowing swords, and changing people.

An Xiu'er was very interested in these, and looked at it intently, she couldn't figure out how a person's mouth could spit out fire, how could this sword be swallowed, that person was obviously in the box, but it was opened and disappeared.

She was a little curious, and asked Zhang Zhenan sideways, but Zhang Zhenan shook his head and refused to tell her, only said: "You can just look at these tricks, if they are debunked, then it will be boring." ”

"Also, this is someone's job after all, you did the right thing, don't say it." She nodded, and did not dwell on the topic, but continued to watch the acrobatic performance.

When it was easy to get through, the city suddenly became lively, the sound of firecrackers was endless, and the Zhang family began to set off fireworks.

An Xiu'er raised her neck to look at the sky, and Zhang Zhenan took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go watch the fireworks." ”

She followed Zhang Zhen'an out, and when she arrived at the square in the front yard, the people had already moved the fireworks there, and there was a circle around to watch the lively maids, An Xiu'er looked at it from a distance, and pulled Zhang Zhen'an to go back.

"Why don't you go there?" Zhang Zhenan asked.

"If we go over, wait for those subordinates to salute again, they rarely relax once, let's not destroy it, anyway, we also saw it last time we went to the mountain." An Xiuer replied.

If they passed, they would definitely be uneasy, Zhang Zhenan didn't want to brush An Xiu'er's heart, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go back and rest?" ”

"Hmm." An Xiu'er nodded, the two glanced at each other, and walked towards Tingzhuyuan.

The New Year is a good day, but the cold will not decrease because of the New Year, the night is deep, but the north wind is howling more powerful, in the dark and dark sky, the red lights are so illuminated, the goose-feather-like snow is falling down one by one, An Xiuer looked at the heavy snow, and whispered: "It's snowing." ”

"yes." Zhang Zhen'an was afraid that she would be cold, so he unfolded his cloak and wrapped her tightly in the cloak, An Xiuer looked at the snowflakes under the lamp for a while, and felt that it was cold, so she took a step, and the two returned to Tingzhuyuan with the snowflakes together.

The next day it was the New Year, and it snowed all night last night, and the yard was already full of snowflakes, and the whole world was covered in snow, as if it were a new coat for the earth in winter.

It's just a pity that people are clearing the snow, and after a while, the ground will show its true colors.

An Xiuer and Zhang Zhen'an went to pay New Year's greetings to the Wu family together, and along the way, she just didn't step on the road cleared by these people, but stepped on the snowflakes, until the snow creaked, leaving her footprints on the snow one by one, and she didn't give up.

"Be careful, don't fall." Zhang Zhenan held her with one hand, and every time at this time, he felt that she was still a child, a little girl who needed to be pampered by him.

"With you, I won't fall." An Xiu'er replied, but let go of his hand and ran on the snow by herself.

Zhang Zhenan was afraid that she would fall, so she could only chase after her, and seeing that he had not caught up, An Xiuer turned her head and made a grimace at him.

He was about to chase again, but she took the initiative to stop and walked on the stone road in an orderly manner.

Zhang Zhenan looked up and saw that there was Wu's courtyard in front of him.

Seeing that it was Zhang Zhen'an and they came to pay New Year's greetings, the people in the courtyard immediately went to report, An Xiuer had already asked Banxia to prepare a lot of red envelopes, and the big and small maids she saw were stuffed with one, which can be regarded as a good fortune.

Wu's face is still the same as in the old days, without a slight smile, and An Xiu'er feels a little worried every time she sees her face.

In front of Wu's face, the two said a word of blessing, and they made a big salute, but Wu didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to come over.

The maid beside him held a tray with two bulging purses, Wu picked up the purse and handed one to each of them, and then asked them to sit down.

After a while, Ye Jingshu and Zhang Zhenping also came over to pay New Year's greetings, and after the Wu family gave each of them a purse, he also asked them to sit down.

An Xiu'er felt that this year was a little too formalized, and none of the people sitting there were afraid that they were happy, and even the words they said were as if they had been rehearsed a long time ago.

An Xiu'er felt that sitting here in Wu's house was even more difficult than her being in a daze in the room, and it was easy to stay up until noon, and after eating, she and Zhang Zhen'an went back.

Back in the courtyard, Zhang Zhenan went out to treat his team, while An Xiu'er sat in the house, waiting for Banxia and Mama Fu to lead the maids to come over to greet her.

It's the New Year, and the maids are also happy, and under the leadership of Banxia, they salute An Xiu'er in a proper manner.

An Xiu'er smiled on her face, and motioned for Banxia to stand in front with Mama Fu, but all the girls who came over, everyone had a big purse, which made everyone smile, and An Xiu'er gave them half a day off to let them move freely today, and now the smiles on their faces were more sincere.

After sending these girls away, An Xiu'er personally took out two purses from her arms and handed them to Mama Fu and Banxia respectively, "Mama Fu, Banxia, I have really worked hard for you in the past few months, thank you for taking care of me." ”

"This is our duty, madam, you really tortured the old slave when you said these words." Mama Fu hurriedly bowed down and said.

Banxia also said: "Yes, madam, you are too foreign, this is what we should do." ”

An Xiu'er smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I hope everything goes well this year, everyone is healthy and happy." ”

"Yes." Banxia nodded, and said quickly: "Madame, you will give birth to a young master this year, and then Madame, your position will be even more solid, even the old lady will not dare to do anything to you." ”

She originally wanted to make An Xiu'er happy, but An Xiu'er touched her abdomen, but she was a little worried, "What if it's a daughter?" Also, am I not in a stable position in the Zhang family now? ”

"That's not what I meant." Banxia waved his hand again and again, stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, and said: "I can't speak, the relationship between the master and the lady is good, no one can pry it away, the lady has the love of the master, and the status is stable for you." ”

An Xiu'er laughed and said, "You are the best at talking, but no matter whether the children I give birth to in the future are male or female, I will like them the same." ”

"Well, Banxia will definitely take good care of them when the time comes." Banxia hurriedly said.

The corners of An Xiu'er's mouth went up slightly, "Okay, Banxia, Mama, you have a lot of things to do on weekdays, and you are busy going in and out all day, and it's finally the New Year, so you can go and rest, I'll lie on the bed and sleep for a while, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Then the slaves and maids will go first, and you have something to call us." Mama said, pulled Banxia, and the two of them exited An Xiu'er's house together.

After they left, An Xiu'er was half deflated all of a sudden, lazily lying on the chaise longue in a daze, but the thoughts in her head had already drifted out of the clouds.

She thought of what it was like to celebrate the New Year in the countryside in the past, and the villagers also relied on the harvest in the field, which year the harvest was good, naturally it was a good year, there were fish and meat, and the village would also hold activities, beating gongs and encouraging dragon lanterns, but it was lively.

But if the harvest is not good that year, everyone can only gather in the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the immortals, asking them to bless the coming year, as for the dragon and lion dance, don't even think about it.

An Xiuer remembered that when their family was the poorest, they bought half a catty of meat with the neighbor next door, half of each person, and the Liang family didn't even cut it, so they used this meat to cook soup, and from the first day of cooking to the festival, the meat became like chaff, and there was no taste at all, but even so, the family still ate with relish.

But no matter how poor she was that year, her eldest brother and second brother would find a way to have some fun, either by tying a few lanterns with their own hands, or by making a sky lantern, lighting half a candle in it, watching the sky lantern slowly fly to the sky, saying that they were going to tell the heavens their wishes.

An Xiu'er stood up alone and walked around the room a few times, in the room, a few plum blossoms in a vase were blooming brilliantly, but An Xiu'er walked over and picked off these plum blossoms one by one.

What is a plum blossom called? Plum blossoms just didn't have a hair, this meaning is not good, she kneaded these petals into a ball, all thrown away, after throwing away the petals, she put the palm of her hand to the end of her nose to smell, the fragrance is still in her palm, light and elegant.

"The smell is quite good, and after the Spring Festival, I can let them cut more plum blossoms and put them in a vase, this faint fragrance will definitely be better than incense."

An Xiu'er thought about walking around the room again, and when she saw anything inappropriate, she had to change it, rearrange some furnishings, and put away some things with bad meanings, she hoped that this new year, there would be a new beginning, and everything would be happy.
