Chapter 44: New Year's Greetings
"Okay, do you have to send some over to the ancestral hall?"
"Well, but we've divided it up and sent it over one piece, so that everyone can eat dumplings. You don't have to worry about this, the patriarch has arranged everything. ”
"I didn't worry about it, I just asked, my stomach doesn't allow me to bother!"
Shen Yunniang's belly is now nine months old, probably at the end of the first month, so she can't work hard.
"Wen Po has been found, there are two in total, one is the aunt in the east of the village, and the spring aunt of the patriarch's family. Aunt Fang has always delivered babies to others, and Uncle Chun has also delivered babies and knows a lot. You don't have to be nervous. It's going to be fine. Usually I follow you for more walks and activities. ”
Shen Yunniang's frowning brows loosened slightly, and she smiled a little embarrassedly, "It is said that I have given birth to two children, and it will not be too difficult to give birth, but I can't help but be nervous." ”
"It's okay, tell me if you have any ideas, Uncle Chun said, it's easy to be cranky at this time, and it's okay to talk more."
Su Tang listened to the couple, you and I said one by one, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Although both of them were sold at a young age and suffered some hardships, their temperament did not become selfish because of this, but they have always maintained the most simple essence.
Su Tang listened to the small talk of the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard of the main house, and at that time, Shen Yunniang was rewarded by his wife to the courtyard of the eldest prince because of her good looks.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was to be a concubine for the eldest prince.
There is also a maid with Shen Yunniang, and her appearance is naturally good. People are also sweet-mouthed, and not long after arriving at the courtyard of the eldest prince, they were taken by the eldest prince and went directly into the study to serve.
On the contrary, Shen Yunniang has a soft temperament, and she is a little muna, and she doesn't come to the front of the eldest son.
Later, he went to the kitchen to learn to cook with a cook, and he didn't come out.
Later, Su Mingjiang was old, fell in love with Shen Yunniang, and was discovered by the eldest prince, which fulfilled the two of them.
The two of them have good temperaments, they have never blushed, they are all discussed, not to mention more love.
Su Tang is very envious of such a relationship, and she also hopes to meet such a husband in the future.
She knew that it was impossible to say that she would not marry in the future, and her parents would not agree.
And Su Tang had never tried the love between men and women in his previous life, and since he could live again in this life, he naturally wanted to try it.
She doesn't like too strong feelings, love at first sight or something, it's the most unreliable, and when the enthusiasm retreats, all that is left is memories.
She likes her parents to get along with each other so gently, and over time, the relationship grows slowly, and finally they stay together for a lifetime.
It's just that in this era, there are too many considerations between men and women, and many of them have never met before marriage.
The countrymen are better, they will meet before they get married, and they will settle down when they look at each other, and forget if they don't look at each other.
If you want to deepen your understanding, then you can only say a few words and meet a few times with the permission of your elders after you are married, and that's it.
Thinking of this, Su Tang was a little worried, she really couldn't look down on the hairy children in the village who were snotty, touching tears, touching chickens and teasing dogs.
It's not that I didn't want to come over and play and develop something, but I didn't see anything pleasing to the eye.
She was a little skeptical, could it be that her future father-in-law was still a little bean ding?
As for Mu Lingchuan, Su Tang really thought that no matter his appearance, personality, and mind, it was very much in line with her heart.
It's just that Su Tang feels that his identity is too mysterious, and even the origin is not small, and there are constant troubles, which is really not what she, a peasant girl, should dream of.
What's more, no matter how old Mu Lingchuan is, she is still a young man, and it is really a little difficult for her, a person with an adult soul, to look at the right eye at this time.
This year is very happy, not only because Su Mingjiang is in good health, but also because the family has financial resources and no pressure on life.
Su Tang was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, and saw that the sky outside was not yet bright, but he had already heard movement in the yard.
Crawled out of the warm quilt, dressed himself, and after grooming, Su Tang opened the door and went out.
There was already a fire burning in the middle of the courtyard, and the fire was so strong that the whole courtyard was lit up.
This fire cannot be extinguished on the first day of the new year, and the fire in the yard is to remove the evil, drive away the bad luck, and make the new year prosperous, and the more prosperous it is.
Su Mingjiang was already cooking dumplings in the kitchen, and when he saw Su Tang coming over, he beckoned her to bring the bowl into the house.
"Happy New Year, Dad!"
"Sugar Candy, Happy New Year too!"
The father and daughter blessed each other, and then one of them walked to Su Mingjiang's sleeping house with two bowls of dumplings.
Shen Yunniang had also gotten up, sitting on the kang and looking at their father and daughter. Su Qi on the small bed was still sleeping soundly, and he didn't notice the movement in the room at all.
"Mother, Happy New Year!"
"Sugar Candy, Happy New Year too!"
As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his body, "This is the New Year's money for you." ”
"Thank you, mother!"
"Hurry up and eat, follow your father to the village to pay New Year's greetings after eating!"
"Hmm!"
In this gap, Su Mingjiang went to the kitchen again and brought in the cold dishes he had mixed and put them on the table.
In winter, when the sky is bright and late, after eating dumplings, Shen Yunniang is left at home to wait for the younger generation to come over to pay New Year's greetings.
Su Mingjiang took Su Tang to step on the snow and walked to the old mansion first.
Last year, because of Su Mingjiang's health and Su Tang's small size, he didn't know anyone when he came back, so he didn't go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This year is different, Su Mingjiang is in good health, so he naturally has to walk this custom up.
When I came to the old house, the gate had already been opened, and there was a fire burning in the yard.
Su Mingjiang took Su Tang to the main house, and there were two burning red candles on the table opposite the door, and Old Man Su was sitting at the top!
"Son to father, mother New Year's greetings, I wish the second elder good health and all the best!"
Su Mingjiang knelt on the futon in front of the table, kowtowed three times to the top position, and said blessings in his mouth.
Su Tang followed, "I wish Grandpa and Grandma a Happy New Year and good health!" ”
Old man Su waited for them to kowtow, then let them get up with a smile, and gave Su Tang a red envelope, a little heavy, Su Tang touched it is a copper plate, and there are a lot of it!
"Thank you, grandpa!"
"Go, Mingfeng is waiting for you!"
Generally, those who have brothers go to the New Year with their brothers, and those who do not have brothers go with their cousins, and after worshipping their parents first, they begin to pay New Year's greetings in the village, which is also from near and far.
Su Mingjiang waited in the courtyard, and Su Tang went to Sanfang alone to kowtow to the New Year, and when he came out, he had another red envelope.
Su Mingfeng also came out, and took his eldest son Su Yudi, and the four of them followed out of the gate together and walked towards the patriarch's house.
On the way, you can also meet villagers who also come out to pay New Year's greetings, no matter what it was like in the past, everyone is now full of happy smiles on their faces.
"Happy New Year, go to pay New Year's greetings?"
"Yes, I just came out, now I'm going to the patriarch's house......"
"Haha, go ...... together"
