"Dad, don't come out, it's cold, my son will be back in a while. I'm with my second brother, don't worry. ”

Su Mingfeng's voice sounded again, and with the footsteps, the person appeared at the gate, and behind him was Old Man Su.

"Daddy!"

"Hello grandpa!"

Old Man Su originally had a smiling face, but when he saw Su Tang sitting on the wheelbarrow, he immediately changed, and immediately said unhappily, "What kind of day is this, how can you take the child with you?" The child is not sensible, and you are not sensible? ”

Old Man Su was also frightened by the fever of the two children of the third family, if it weren't for the child's life, maybe he would have burned it directly.

Then, without waiting for Su Mingjiang to speak, he immediately changed his smiling face and said to Su Tang in a soft voice, "Tangtang, go in and play with my brother, let's not go to the town, it's too cold this day, and you have to drink bitter medicine if you are frozen." ”

Su Tang looked at the somewhat embarrassed father, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, and looked at the old man Su with a look of concern, and his tone couldn't help but become softer, "Grandpa, don't worry, I wear thick clothes, and I'm not afraid of the cold." It wasn't my dad who told me to go. It was I who stalked and beat my dad so hard that I couldn't agree. Maybe this might be the last time I'll go to town this year. Grandpa, don't stop me. ”

Old Man Su also saw the little girl's persistence, and saw that she was indeed dressed thick and tightly wrapped, so he didn't say anything.

"Take care of the children, there are many people in the town at this time, and there are many kidnappers."

Su Mingjiang hurriedly agreed with a smile, "Knowing Dad, we'll leave first, you can go back too!" ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly pushed the wheelbarrow and left, and after Su Mingfeng said goodbye to Old Man Su, he also pushed the cart away.

As soon as he left the village, Su Mingfeng couldn't help laughing, and looked at Su Tang while laughing and said, "You see that your father has been talked about, aren't you happy?" ”

Su Tang grinned and nodded in agreement, "My father has thick skin, and I'm not afraid of what my grandfather says." ”

Su Mingjiang laughed a little, and scolded angrily, "I think you are thick-skinned, and you dare to say anything." ”

Su Tang shrunk his neck, stuck out his tongue at Su Mingfeng, and stopped talking.

Although it is not easy to walk with snow on the ground, Xiaohe Village is close to Sanhe Town, and it will not take long to arrive.

As soon as I entered the town, I felt a strong smell of the New Year, the shops on the street had been hung with red lanterns, and the number of people had increased, as if it had not decreased because of the cold and snow.

Basically, they are all three wheelbarrows, three by two, two by two to buy New Year's goods.

Some have already bought some and put them on wheelbarrows, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

"If it weren't for the timely disaster relief from the prefect, I don't know how many people would have froze to death, where would there be so many people?"

Su Mingfeng looked at the people coming and going on the street, thinking about how many people survived with the timely disaster relief of the government before, and he felt that his heart was agitated.

"Otherwise, how can we say that we have met a good adult, and the county magistrate is not bad, and they all send people to the village to verify the situation, at least it will not make people fool."

Su Mingfeng mysteriously leaned over and whispered, "I heard that the Anqing Mansion was affected by the disaster, and the imperial court didn't allocate money at all. The money for disaster relief was donated by some large families in the county and the prefecture. Is it true? ”

Su Mingjiang didn't speak, but nodded, proving that what he said was true.

"Hiss...... "What is the court doing here?"

Su Mingjiang shook his head, not letting Su Mingfeng continue this topic, it is better not to talk about the important affairs of the court.

If someone hears about it, maybe it will cause death.

"These major events have nothing to do with us poor people. You'd better think about what you want to buy and go back. Don't miss it, you have to make another trip. ”

"I remember." Su Mingfeng also knew that he had almost committed a taboo, so he immediately changed the topic and began to buy things with Su Mingjiang.

"Fried peanuts, home-grown peanuts ......"

"Candy, delicious candy......"

"Dim sum, time-honored pastry ......"

Soon I heard the shouts of the street vendors, although the food in the street stall may not taste as good as the food in the shop, but it is cheap!

What about the New Year, how do you have to buy some snacks to go back, buy less of this New Year's relatives are afraid of not enough, buy more is too expensive.

Therefore, even if they want to buy snacks for the New Year, ordinary people buy a lot at the stalls on the street and rarely enter the shops.

Su Mingjiang can go in, but it's not good to follow his brother over.

Knowing that even if he went into the shop to buy it, Su Mingfeng would not go, maybe he would think about it more, so he simply followed him to buy it at the stall outside.

Su Tang had already come down and followed Su Mingjiang, his little hand still tugging at the corner of his clothes, of course, this Su Mingjiang requested.

I'm afraid that too many people will squeeze Su Tang apart, in case you really lose people, don't think about this year!

It took most of the day for the brothers to buy all the things, and the wheelbarrow was full, and they even tied it with rope, so they were afraid that they would fall off the wheelbarrow.

Su Mingjiang walked in front, Su Tang walked in the middle, Su Mingfeng followed behind, and the three of them walked towards the village in the cold wind!

"Twenty-four, the day of the housesweeping; Twenty-five, buy tofu; Twenty-six, to cut the meat; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Thirty, make dumplings ......"

As the New Year gets closer and closer, the smell of the New Year becomes stronger and stronger, and when you walk in the village, you can smell the fragrance of every house, including the smell of meat and the smell of fried things.

You can hear the sound of firecrackers from time to time.

On the thirtieth day, Shen Yunniang came alive with dumpling noodles, and the dumpling filling mixed by Su Mingjiang began, and the family of four began to make dumplings in the hall.

gave Su Qi a piece of noodles and let him play by himself, so that he didn't come to make trouble.

Su Mingjiang rolled the dumpling skin, and Shen Yunniang and Su Tang wrapped it, just so that Su Mingjiang's speed could supply them with the mother and daughter.

Although Su Tang's needlework is not very good, the dumplings are well wrapped, and the speed is almost catching up with Shen Yunniang.

The couple talked while working, and Su Tang listened to them chatting.

"You go and tell Su Tang and her grandfather again, let him come over and celebrate the New Year with us, he is alone, how do you feel bad."

Su Mingjiang's movements kept moving, "What can I do if the old man doesn't come?" I have to keep the New Year in my own room, and the third child also went to say that he didn't agree, what could I do? ”

"Why didn't your mother-in-law come back? The sister-in-law should have been six months at this time, and the fetal elephant is also stable, why do you still use people to serve her? ”

"It's not what the eldest brother meant, just arrived in the county, the expenses are big, the eldest has to go to the academy, and the sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, so you can't bother, leaving two small ones that can't be watched? Thinking about it, they didn't think about finding someone to serve them for the time being. It's not necessary for our mother to stay there and save trouble! ”

"Who let the mother-in-law take a fancy to the eldest son and the eldest grandson! It's just that the old man is a little bit bad. ”

"It's okay, the third family is in the same yard, and you can hear everything. After a while, wrap the dumplings and send some to the old man, and he is not afraid of bad weather when it is cold, let him cook and eat it. ”
