On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, every household hung mugwort on the door, Shen Luzhu took two colored ropes early in the morning, tied them to Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu on their wrists, and told the two small ones, and when it rained again, they would be untied and thrown into the puddle, which is the local custom, saying that the children will be healthy and healthy all year round, and there will be no disease and no disaster!

Seeing Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu nodding and writing down, they took two small purses stuffed with dried wormwood and hung them around their necks, recently they were busy selling paper money, this was still last night, Shen Luzhu suddenly got up and made it temporarily!

The children in the village celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, most of them are tied with a colorful rope, begging for good luck, few of them are made of wormwood sachets, Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu received the sachets made by their sister-in-law, they were very happy, and ran to show it to the third uncle and Chu Yi!

After breakfast, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu took Chu Li back to the Shen family in Hexi Village, and their daughter and son-in-law came back early in the morning on the day of the holiday, and the Shen family was very surprised!

Chu Li was taken by his cousin Shen Changshan to play with the children in the village, Chu Yi was taken by Shen Grandpa to the pharmacy in the front yard, and Shen Luzhu accompanied the other elders and sisters-in-law in the family to chat in the hall to relieve boredom.

Although Shen's mother was happy that her daughter and son-in-law were celebrating the holiday at home, she still couldn't help but worry: "Why did I come back today, I thought it would be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" On this day of the festival, the two of you still came over with Chu Li, but didn't your in-laws say anything? ”

"Chu Yi told Grandpa and Grandma yesterday, Auntie, we will have lunch at home and leave, and today Uncle Chu's family will go back to the old house, just have dinner together in the evening, it's not in the way!" Shen Luzhu thought to himself, the eldest grandson Chu Ren came back for the holiday, how could Grandpa Chu still see the three of them in his eyes!

It's Boss Chu's family again, it's not the first time I've heard my niece talk about it, and the second aunt Zheng is really puzzled: "Does their family always go back?" Didn't you say that you had to separate it in the first place? ”

"Those who celebrate the New Year will go back to the old house, and on weekdays, the eldest aunt will return more diligently, grandpa and grandma said that they are not distracted!"

The second brother Shen Songjie listened to it and smiled: "Separation is not distracted? Isn't it because of distraction that they are breaking up? Fool what it is! ”

Father Shen glanced at his second son: "In the end, it is Luzhu's in-law's family, the elders can just chat a few words, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Shen Luzhu quietly winked at Shen Songjie, it's not her second brother, it's really a breakthrough, isn't it just a fool! She has been married into the Chu family for several months, in addition to what she sees on weekdays, Shen Luzhu has also heard a lot from the mouths of the two little ones and the third uncle, Uncle Chu's family is clearly the clanging sound of the abacus, with a dream that may not be able to come true, hanging Grandpa Chu's grandma, it is clear that the bad ones don't want it, and the good ones have to be stained!

However, Shen Luzhu didn't plan to talk to his mother's family about these things, so as to save them from worrying about it in vain!

The matter of the Chu family's elders, they are juniors, there is no way, they can simply make their own money in the future, Uncle Chu's family, just go face to face!

The three of them had lunch at Shen's house, and then went back to the Chu family's old house, Uncle Chu's family had already arrived, chatting with Grandpa Chu!

Today's holiday, Grandma Chu was persuaded by her children and grandchildren, so she didn't cook, and handed over the stove to the juniors, Shen Luzhu and the sister-in-law in the lobby, that is, Chu Ren's wife Li, plus a Chu Xiuxiu who helped to help, and the three of them prepared dinner together.

Shen Luzhu didn't have much impression of this cousin-in-law, as if she had only seen it once on the morning of the new gift, and after one afternoon of contact, she only felt that if it weren't for the current environment, if the sister-in-law in the lobby changed into more gorgeous clothes, it would be a realistic version of the ancient lady Xiuxiu written in the novel, worthy of being the only daughter of the Xiucai family in the town.

When lying in Chu Yi's arms at night, Shen Luzhu was still thinking that he was born in the Shen family in Hexi Village, if he dressed as the eldest lady of a famous family, and held it like that all day long, he would have to drive her crazy!

On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Yi took his wife and younger brother to his grandfather's house, Cui's grandmother liked her grandson's bride very much, and after caring about the recent situation of the two grandsons, she took Shen Luzhu to the inner room, and the fourth aunt Xiao Qin and a strange woman also entered the house.

Grandma Cui pointed to the strange woman and introduced Shen Luzhu: "Lu girl, this is your second aunt, last time you and Ayi came back, she went back to her parents' house, not there." ”

Shen Luzhu hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Second uncle! ”

"You are Luzhu, I have always heard A-Niang mention you recently, don't mention how much I like it, last time you came back, it happened that my mother's family was in a hurry, and the second aunt and second uncle were not there, I really didn't want to go, I prepared a gift for you, and my nephew and daughter-in-law must accept it!" After that, he took a set of tin tea sets that had been prepared on the side a long time ago and asked Shen Luzhu to accept them.

"The second aunt laughed, Chu Yi and I should have visited the elders, and the matter of the second aunt's mother's house is of course more important." This year, Yue Xi is the fourth precious metal after gold, silver, and copper, not to mention a complete set of tea sets, how dare Shen Luzhu accept such a valuable gift from his elders.

Seeing Shen Luzhu's resignation, Grandma Cui helped persuade her: "Deer girl, don't hurry up, your second aunt is the richest in our family, don't save her!" ”

"Listen to your grandmother, accept it quickly, don't be polite to my second aunt!"

The second uncle's mother's family is a famous local landlord, not only a large piece of arable land outside the mountain village is the Sun family, but also has a teahouse and winery in the town, although the Sun family is not out of the long house, but it is also the granddaughter of the Sun family, if it were not for the accident that year, was saved by the second uncle of Cui, and would not marry into the Cui family, fortunately, the Cui family style is good, the brothers are united, and life is good these years.

Shen Luzhu couldn't refuse, and finally had to accept it, and when she saw the second aunt Sun, she felt that yesterday's sister-in-law in the lobby seemed to be a little worse, and the second aunt was also very dignified and elegant, but it would not give people a feeling of being upright, kind and natural, as if everything was engraved in the bones!

"It's the Dragon Boat Festival again, I remember when Chu Yi and his aunt got married, it was also the Dragon Boat Festival, and it has been so many years!" Grandma Cui chatted and chatted, and inevitably remembered Chu Yi's aunt again.

Cui's grandmother gave birth to a total of six children in her life, four boys and two girls, Chu Yi's aunt Cui, is the fourth child, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below.

When Cui's got married, the above three brothers had already become a family, and Sun naturally knew: "No, A-Niang's memory is really good, she was married on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival!" ”

Shen Luzhu really hadn't heard anyone mention this, and Xu is Chu Yi didn't know: "My grandson and daughter-in-law don't know." ”

"Don't talk about you, the fourth aunt doesn't know, the eldest sister is actually a relative of the Dragon Boat Festival!" When Xiao Qin entered the door, Cui's had been married for two years, and it was the first time she had heard about it.

Grandma Cui patted Shen Luzhu's hand, and seemed to fall into memory: "When they were children, your three uncles loved your aunt the most, so that the four boys always tasted, once your uncle picked up a pebble by the river, smooth and transparent, and thought it was jade, the appearance is also special, the outside is white and transparent, but the middle is yellow, like a poached egg Yes, your uncle inlaid a circle of silver on the outside of the stone, and made a pendant for your aunt to wear, and the four boys also had to ask for one, and the three of them were troubled without a move, so they framed him, saying that it was a man to wear, I can't marry a daughter-in-law when I grow up! Later, your father fell in love with your aunt and came to the door to ask for marriage, but the most reluctant became your fourth uncle! ”

When everyone in the room heard this, they all laughed.

"It turns out that your aunt always said that the pendant is for the little girl to wear, if you have a daughter in the future, you will give it to your daughter, if you don't have a daughter, you will give it to your granddaughter, if she sees you, she must be very happy, and if she can't keep it, she will change her mind, and she will give it to you! It's a pity that she had a difficult birth early that year, and the pendant couldn't be given, so she had to be buried with her! ”

After having lunch at his grandfather's house, Chu Yi and the three of them chatted with Grandma Cui for a long time, until they saw that the old man was a little tired in the middle of the afternoon, and persuaded Grandma Cui to go to the house to rest, and then left from Cui's house.

Chu Yi talked to Shen Luzhu about the purchase of goods while walking, and seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, he held his wife's hand and squeezed it lightly: "Azhu? ”

Shen Luzhu was thinking about things and was thinking about things when she suddenly heard Chu Yi call her: "Ah, what's wrong?" ”

Chu Yi chuckled: "Are you in a daze, what are you thinking?" ”

"Chu Yi, do you know that A-Niang has a pendant that looks like a poached egg?"

"I've seen it twice, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I heard my grandmother come over today, I didn't think there was anything at the time, but just now, I suddenly felt like I had seen it somewhere, and it felt like it was the latest one, but I couldn't remember it! Could it be that there is no rest at noon and you are sleepy? Shen Luzhu was a little confused, did he hallucinate?

Chu Yi rubbed his wife's hair, a little funny: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it." ”

"Okay, by the way, you just called me, did you want to say something?"

"I mean, shouldn't the house be stocked?"

When I went to the town before, I bought a total of 100 dollars of white money and 100 dollars of yellow burnt paper, although the amount of white money is large, but because it is only used at the time of funeral, there are not many people sold, and this should not be in a hurry to buy. But the yellow burnt paper is really different, all kinds of sacrificial festivals, all kinds of cycle anniversaries, are to be used, before using thirty knives to make copper money burnt paper, although only sold less than ten dollars, but the ordinary yellow burnt paper has sold a lot, I'm afraid there is not much left, it is indeed time to buy!

Shen Luzhu patted his head: "Look at me, I have been resting for the past two days, and I have been visiting the door, and I have forgotten such an important thing, if you hadn't reminded me, I might have to open the skylight the day after tomorrow, no wonder A-Niang wants to say that you are more reliable than me!" Chu Yi, what can I do without you? ”

Looking at Shen Luzhu, who was a little sluggish and leaning on his arm, Chu Yi comforted: "Ah Zhu has already done a lot, even if I don't remind him, Ah Zhu will remember it tomorrow." ”

"This is our family's business, I'm idle, I should do more, besides, I'm just looking at the stall, and I haven't done anything, and Ah Li and Xiuxiu are with me, isn't Ah Li?" Shen Luzhu said and went to look at Chu Li next to him.

Chu Li has been very accustomed to his brother and sister-in-law in the past few months, and he has made some small moves from time to time, he is still young, he only knows that his brother and sister-in-law are happy, and he is also very happy: "Brother and sister-in-law are amazing!" ”

"Ali is also amazing!" After speaking, with a 'snap', Shen Luzhu and Chu Li also came to high-five, this is what Chu Li has learned recently, every time he sells goods, as long as Chu Li or Chu Xiuxiu is there, Shen Luzhu will high-five them to celebrate!

"However, Chu Yi went to the town to buy goods last time, plus the two days of the festival, if we delay to buy goods for another day, wouldn't the family work save a bunch of money by then!" Shen Luzhu is not afraid that the grandfather and grandmother of the Chu family will not be happy, but he is afraid that they will talk about Chu Yi, and the more and more these jobs are saved, it will not be Chu Yi's hard work when the time comes!

"It's fine."

"No, I'd better go by myself, I've already been there once anyway, I can do it!"

"No, I don't worry about you going by yourself! Besides, you have to look at the stalls! ”

"What then?"
