Chapter 41: The Thirtieth Year of the Chinese New Year's Eve
On the way back between Yun Qing and Rong Cheng, Rong Cheng saw Yun Qing's thoughtful face, frowned slightly, and said, "What are you thinking, shouldn't you be thinking about Fang Cai's little white face?"
Yun Qing came back to his senses: "Little white face, are you white?"
Rong Cheng: "...... At least whiter than you. ”
The two of them were talking about each other, but they weren't really angry, Yun Qing changed the subject and said, "I thought about it just now, do you want to come to the county seat to do business or something." ”
Anyway, it will be a few years before the Yun family finds out about her, and it will be a long time before she takes her back home, she doesn't want to continue to work as a coolie at home like in her previous life, farming, and she can't maintain it no matter how she maintains it.
In this life, when the Yun family comes again, she doesn't want to face the Yun family with a disgraced face like in her previous life! Even if she can't compare to Yun Shu, she doesn't want to be completely crushed again!
Rong Cheng heard this: "What store do you want to open?"
"This, I can think slowly when I go back, I don't have much silver, I can start a small business slowly. ”
As long as she doesn't want to do farm work and farm, she can do anything, but no matter how she says it, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the New Year.
"By the way, Young Master Rong, are you going to leave after the year? ”
"Maybe. "It's impossible for Rong Cheng to delay in the countryside for too long, and when the county order finds out the situation in Beijing, it's a year later, and it is estimated that it won't be too long, and he should leave.
......
When Rong Cheng and Yunqing returned to the carriage, they bought a jar of osmanthus brew by the way, and it was good to drink some wine during the New Year.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Yu and the others came back and bought a lot of things, two chickens, a large piece of pork, a fat grass carp, a few catties of bacon, and a few catties of white noodles.
When the people arrived, the carriage was already full, everyone had a smile on their faces, discussing the New Year, Rong Cheng and Yun Qing sat in front of the carriage, and on the way back, Yun Qing said: "Rong Gongzi, you don't go home for the New Year." ”
"It's the same everywhere. ”
Anyway, the New Year in the palace is just like that, a group of women compete to attract the attention of their father, and so do his brothers and sisters, that kind of year is just that.
This countryside celebrates the New Year, but it has a different New Year's flavor. Watching these people toss, he was faintly looking forward to this year in his heart.
Soon it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and that morning, according to custom, the Yu family superstitiously set up a heaven and earth table in the courtyard to worship the gods, and after worshipping, they began to work their own way, Yun Qing and Rong Cheng posted pairs outside the door. After lunch, the Yu family began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The chicken who kills the chicken, and the one who chooses the vegetables, is rare and happy at home. Rong Cheng didn't have to do anything, just watched from the sidelines, and he had a very strange feeling, he found that he actually liked this kind of countryman's year very much, compared to the luxurious night banquet in the palace, so it seemed more vibrant.
In the evening, the women of the family rarely worked together in the kitchen in harmony and made a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
White noodle steamed buns, braised pork, sharp pepper mixed tripe, roasted chicken nuggets, vegetarian fried three dings, four happy balls, and a pot of fish soup, in addition to some vegetarian dishes, a full eighteen plates, according to local customs, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal must be enough for eighteen plates, no matter how poor and picky, it is also necessary to do this.
Rong Cheng took out the osmanthus brew he bought during the day, and the women in the family had a small cup for each person, mainly to drink an atmosphere.
After the Yu family had eaten and drunk enough, the children went to the yard to set off fireworks, and Yun Qingqiang pulled Rong Cheng to make a lively scene, and then returned to the room to make dumplings with the adults.
Rong Cheng didn't, he just wanted to sit quietly on the side, Yun Qing had to teach him to try it, so he also followed up a few times, although the package was ugly, it looked like a dumpling.
Young Master Rong thought that the bag was not bad, but unfortunately he was hit by Yun Qing mercilessly: "Young Master, where are the dumplings in your bag, they are about to catch up with the pot stickers." ”
When Mrs. Yu on the side heard this, she said with sincere fear: "Young Master Rong, this girl is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”
Rong Cheng: "It's okay, just go back and let her eat all these potstickers I wrapped! As he spoke, he couldn't stop, and he wrapped up the potstickers endlessly.
Yunqing: "......"
She knew what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.
Halfway through making dumplings, Mrs. Yu took out a copper plate from her arms and wrapped it in the dumplings, Rong Cheng was puzzled: "What is this for?"
"Don't you know, this is the old rule, whoever eats dumplings with copper plates is the most blessed person in the coming year, and he can make a fortune in the new year. ”
Rong Cheng heard this, although he knew that it was nonsense, he inexplicably thought it was quite interesting, how to say that the people who ate copper coins also have a hope for the coming year. Thinking like this, Rong Cheng also took out a copper coin from his arms while people were not paying attention and wrapped it in his "potsticker".
Doesn't this Yu Daya want to do business, and give her a good fortune during the New Year. As the crown prince, the blessings he gives are better than ordinary people......
After the dumplings were wrapped, the children were crazy enough, and they returned to the hall to eat dumplings together, and the unlucky Yunqing offended Young Master Rong, and all the potstickers were fished out to her.
Ah Shou and Ah Fu laughed: "The dumplings on the eldest sister's plate are really strange, they are as ugly as the eldest sister!"
In fact, Yunqing is not so ugly, and her facial features are good-looking if you look closely, but unfortunately she suffered too many sins in the past few years, she was dry and dry, her skin was sallow, and her good foundation could be ruined.
Some children in the village held a beauty contest in private, and Yu Daya was naturally ranked first to the bottom by a group of bear children, so everyone laughed at her for being ugly. This is also part of the reason why Yunqing's personality is cowering in the previous life, children's jokes are sometimes the most cruel, a girl is laughed at every day and ugly, and a child will have low self-esteem. But now Yunqing doesn't matter.
It's not terrible to be ugly, it's terrible to lose the heart to be beautiful.
Mrs. Yu on the side coughed dryly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this dumpling is made by Young Master Rong!"
As soon as Mrs. Yu's words fell, the two children immediately changed their words: "Rong, Young Master Rong, we were wrong just now, this dumpling is actually not ugly at all." ”
Rong Cheng on the side originally didn't care, he still knew what the dumplings he made by himself were like, but he still had something to say: "It's not ugly!"
Yun Qing didn't hear the other meaning of Rong Cheng's words, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that as long as this thing was touched with Rong Cheng, no matter how ugly it was, it would become beautiful.
