Speaking of this, Xu Rujiao couldn't help but persuade: "Can you not ask the eldest sister to marry Zhang Mingming, his family is really not a good person, and the eldest sister will definitely suffer if she marries." ”

"This kid, why are you talking nonsense again", Li Xiuqin glared at her, "The conditions of the Zhang family are good, the eldest girl is married to live a good life, and besides, Zhangjia Village is not far from us, and her mother's family is by her side, what grievances can you suffer." ”

Xu Rujiao was noncommittal, they also thought so in their previous life, what was the result?

She thought for a while and said: "The Zhang family is living a good life, but that's all because Boss Zhang has the ability, not Zhang Mingming, now they are not separated, and they eat in one pot, so if they are separated in the future, what does Boss Zhang's salary matter to my eldest sister?" ”

"And I heard that Boss Zhang's daughter-in-law is a powerful one, my eldest sister has been relying on people when she got married, and she is naturally a dwarf in front of her concubine, and she has to bear whatever people say."

She said a lot of miscellaneous things, and a few people who listened to it were stunned, and after a while, Li Xiuqin said half-jokingly: "When did our three girls understand this?" What kind of concubine in-laws, say one set of things. ”

Xu Rujiao felt powerless, her mother didn't listen to it.

Just thinking about how to speak again, a human voice sounded in the courtyard: "Xu Ruyan, is Xu Ruyan at home?" ”

The person who came was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old guy, Li Xiuqin looked out through the window, and hurriedly got off the ground: "It's Xiang Ge, come in and sit." ”

"Auntie, I'm not going to sit anymore, is Ruyan at home? Let her come out for a while. ”

Zhi Xiangge craned his neck and looked into the room.

"Ruyan, Xiang Ge is looking for you", Li Xiuqin shouted at the back room, and asked Zhi Xiangge, "What's the matter with looking for Ruyan?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the production team will show a movie this afternoon, let me ask Ruyan if she wants to watch it? If she looks, I'll give her a good seat first. ”

"It's starting so early this year?"

Every year in the first month, the people of the township film screening team will go to the next village to show the movie, until the fifteenth day of the first month, in previous years, it usually starts to play on the fourth or fifth day of the first month, but I didn't expect it to be so early this year.

"Yes, my dad said that the township should let it be released early, and in the future, it will be released from the beginning of the new year." Zhi Xiangge's father is the village chief and the captain of their production team.

"That's a good feeling." Seeing that Xu Ruyan was finally late, she smiled and said to the two, "You two can play." ”

In the house, Xu Rujiao heard Fang Cai's conversation, and when she saw Li Xiuqin coming back, she asked, "The movie will start playing this afternoon?" Or put it in the big house of the production team? ”

"You can't be in the house, or who will bear this ice and snow."

Xu Rujiao's eyes rolled, and she suddenly spoke: "Mom, I want to go out." ”

"Where are you going for the Chinese New Year?" Li Xiuqin asked, "Ming'er is going to your grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings." ”

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, several daughters of the Li family who married out returned to their parents' homes on this day.

When Li Xiuqin's family arrived, the eldest sister and the fourth family came, and the second sister was far away, so I was afraid that she would not arrive until the afternoon.

"Yo, the third sister and the third brother-in-law are here." Li Xiulan was angry when she saw them.

Xu Guangshi couldn't hear it, and said to the second elder of the Li family with the New Year's gift: "Happy New Year for my parents, happy New Year for my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law." ”

The eldest brother-in-law, Zhou Dahai, is a simple person, and replied with a smile when he heard the words: "Happy New Year, sit down." ”

Xu Guangshi put the gift on the red lacquered wooden cabinet, which was a big fruit crisp and fruit dan peel, Li Xiuqin specially picked a whole piece of crisp and a good shape of fruit dan peel, in addition, there were twenty eggs that had been saved for more than half a year, and I originally wanted to keep them for food in the spring, but now with the money Xu Rujiao earned, I also brought the eggs.

"What a precious thing, it's worth putting on the cabinet." Seeing this, Mrs. Li said.

"There are twenty eggs, and I'm afraid to beat." Li Xiuqin smiled, and Mrs. Li's face looked better.

"Eggs! I'm going to eat eggs! Li Xiaowei shouted when he heard the word egg, and without waiting for the adults to speak, he ran to look through the things Xu Guangshi brought.

"Go! Don't tell him to mess with him. Mrs. Li was busy calling Sun Guiying to watch the child.

Li Xiaowei's hand was fast, and he directly pulled out a fruit dan peel: "Ah! Fruit dan peel! And the big fruit crisp! His face was full of excitement, he pinched the fruit dan peel in one hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the other hand was about to take the big fruit pastry.

Sun Guiying also saw it, and pointed out: "The third sister and the third brother-in-law brought a lot of things. ”

Old Mrs. Li's original smiling appearance immediately disappeared, remembering the bowl of meat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, her heart was not happy after all: "Old three, it's not me who said you, whose child doesn't want to think about the old room?" You're good, you have eaten all the good things yourself. ”

Li Xiuqin was embarrassed and defended: "Mom, I didn't send it to you." ”

"If you can give these away, who knows how many you have at home?" Li Xiulan couldn't wait to speak, "Didn't you just serve a bowl of meat dumplings to our mother, and let you eat the rest by yourself." ”

Xu Rujiao looked at her mother when she heard this, no wonder her grandmother's family was weird, it was because of this, she suddenly said loudly to Li Xiulan: "Fourth aunt, what did you get for grandpa?" ”

Without waiting for Li Xiulan to answer, she ran to the counter to take a look, and without asking, she knew that it must be the smallest package, and the contents were really lackluster: a small packet of brown sugar, seven or eight eggs.

"Are there any rules! Who told you to flip through adult stuff? Li Xiulan was a little annoyed and angry.

Not counting the second sister Li Xiurong, who married to the sister in the village, Li Xiulan can be regarded as having a relatively comfortable life, but the gifts she takes are not as good as the most difficult eldest sister.

"Didn't Xiao Wei also turn it over just now, did the fourth aunt say that Xiao Wei has no rules?" Xu Rujiao said as a matter of course.

Li Xiulan choked for a moment, she didn't dare to say that the old lady's precious grandson was about to be counted, but she heard Xu Rujiao say "Huh" again, "Fourth aunt, why didn't you bring the canned oranges to your grandmother's family?" ”

"What's the canned orange? Don't talk nonsense. ”

"I watched Cousin Peony eat it a while ago, why did you say it didn't?" Ma Peony is Li Xiulan's daughter, the same age as Xu Ruyan, when she posted couplets ago, Xu Rujiao stepped on the bench and saw her sitting on the threshold with a small bowl and eating canned food, and found that Xu Rujiao looked at her, protected the bowl and ran away.
