After taking a nap beautifully, in the afternoon, the little couple took a big bag and a small wrap and drove the ox cart to Jiang's house, Jiang Quangang was stunned as soon as he opened the door of his yard: "Cousin and sister-in-law, why did you come back, when did you come back, didn't you say that I would pick you up early tomorrow morning?"

"The paper money in the shop is sold out, we have nothing to do over there, we rented a carriage early this morning and came back early, I won't tell you, I will send some New Year's goods to my aunt and uncle along the way."

Jiang Quan hurriedly took the things in Shen Luzhu's hand and shouted towards the courtyard, "Daddy and Auntie, come out quickly, my cousin and sister-in-law are here to deliver New Year's goods to us!"

Sitting in the warm hall of the Jiang family, the two families chatted eagerly, and Aunt Cui learned that the Chu family had rented a car by herself, and complained a little: "Why don't you send someone back to inform you, so that Ah Quan can pick you up, how inconvenient it is to drag the family to rent a car, and Ah Quan can help you move things when you go." By the way, why didn't you bring Zhengzheng here, that child is almost two years old now, is it easier to walk and talk?"

Shen Luzhu explained with a smile: "We didn't expect to be sold out a day in advance, and as soon as the work in the shop stopped, we were even more anxious to go home.

Aunt Cui nodded, and said very understandingly: "It's a bit unbearable for adults to rush like this, not to mention that he is still a little doll, it's normal to be tired, it's okay to rest at home, Luzhu, are you planning to stay at home for a while more this time?"

"The specific date of returning to the county has not yet been decided, and the paper money trading is very cold in the first month of the month, and staying for a while will not hinder anything."

Aunt Cui happily patted Shen Luzhu's hand: "That's a good relationship, I haven't told you yet, Ah Quan's marriage is decided, it is a girl from the Xu family in the next village, and she is discussing with the woman at the end of the first month, and she will do business on the twenty-eighth, if you can stay for a while, it would be great!"

Hearing this, Chu Yi patted Jiang Quan's shoulder: "When was it decided, why didn't you listen to you the first two times you came to deliver the goods, otherwise when I was hired, I would have a gift with your cousin?"

Jiang Quan scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "My cousin and sister-in-law have so many things to do, so I won't make a mess, just come and drink the wedding wine on the day of the wedding."

Aunt Cui explained with a smile to her son: "It's also what I mean with his father, I'm afraid that you will go back to the county seat in a hurry, and it will not be worth delaying your business because of this."

Shen Luzhu hurriedly asked, "Aunt is really, what kind of business is delayed, nothing is as important as Ah Quan's marriage, how is the Xu family girl's temperament, how old is she this year?"

Jiang Juan replied with a smile: "She is the same age as Ah Quan, she is a virtuous and capable good girl, and she has a very kind temperament, and her reputation in their village is quite good."

"That's a good relationship, our Ah Quan is so good, he deserves a good girl."

The son can decide on this family business, which can be regarded as a big matter for Jiang's father, not to mention that the character of the prospective in-laws is really good: "It's not thanks to Ayi you, if this stinky boy didn't follow you, people thought that he would be able to make a career in the future, and he wouldn't be so happy to deal with this family business."

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "What did my uncle say, it was Ah Quan's own ability and his affirmation from the Xu family and the Xu family's girl."

Aunt Cui also said, "He, he just doesn't know how to hit the luck. If you want to say that the girl of the Xu family is really a top good, and the matchmaker said that she thinks that Ah Quan can be so attentive to her sister and nephew, and she has a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and she will not be bad for her wife and children in the future, saying that if she is Ah Quan, she will also hope that her sister can be happy, and also said that our family must be a good family with loving parents and kind brothers."

Shen Luzhu boasted: "This girl is really good, not to mention her vision, her mind is so clear, she is really a good match with Ah Quan."

It was still early to come out of Jiang's house, and the little couple went to Zhao Cheng's house again, unloaded the New Year's goods, and Zhao Cheng chatted for a while before returning to the Chu family's old house, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw Chu Li was playing peek-a-boo with the raccoon flower in the courtyard, which is a game that Zhengzheng likes very much recently, especially like to ask others to help him hide, and then call the raccoon flower to find him, every time he is found, he can clap his hands and laugh for a while, and the raccoon flower is also out

Strangely patient, he took the trouble to play with him over and over again.

Hearing the movement of the little couple coming back, the raccoon flower first rushed out with an arrow step, the tail that stood up shook one by one, followed by the little short legs, and kept shouting "Daddy" in the mouth.

There are little uncles, little aunts and three grandfathers, even if they wake up and don't see their parents, they don't cry, Chu Li explained to him where his father and mother went, he honestly played with the raccoon flowers, just looked around from time to time, and now when he saw his father and mother returning, he bypassed the raccoon flowers that were squatting at the feet of Shen Luzhu and begging to caress them, and suddenly threw himself into his own mother's arms.

Zheng Zheng was held in Shen Luzhu's arms, Chu Yi stepped forward and pinched his little chubby face, and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone who is good at home?"

Zheng Zheng patted his small breasts, and responded in a milky voice, "Good girl."

showed that he had a good person at home, and after speaking, he turned his head and called his uncle, as if he was asking Chu Li to testify to himself.

Chu Li did testify to his nephew: "I just woke up and chirped a few times, and I have been very well-behaved since then, I saw that the sun was quite big outside, so I took him and Tanuki to play in the yard for a while."

Shen Luzhu had already touched Zhengzheng's little hand when he picked it up, it was hot, but when he saw Chu Li's clothes clearly, he frowned: "It's not less for Zhengzheng, why don't you add more coats yourself?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm not cold, I'm wearing a jacket inside."

Shen Luzhu knew that he was coaxing to play, he must have been idle for a while, and he always had to bend down to chase after him, and he might be sweating hot from running around, but he still said: "I'm afraid you're sweating right now, so you should go back to the house and take it, or find a thick coat to put on, otherwise it will blow too much wind for a while, and I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."

Chu Yi stretched out his hand to take his fat son, nodded and instructed his younger brother, "Your sister-in-law is right, I will bring it, hurry back to the house and bake the fire."

Dinner was still taken to the grandfather's house next door, and the two families had dinner and chatted affectionately around the stove until the night was dark, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the little couple drove the ox cart again, and successively went to the Cui family in the same village and the Shen family on the other side of the river, and delivered the prepared New Year's goods one by one.

Because they had to prepare food and things for the New Year the next day, the little couple did not stay in the two houses for long, and drove the ox cart back to the Chu family's old house before noon.

Sweeping the house, clearing the yard, kneading dough, steaming flower cakes, deboning stewed meat, and preparing in advance those time-consuming and labor-intensive dishes in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and all the items used in the sacrifice, but fortunately, most of the things, the little two bought finished or semi-finished products in advance, and it was not difficult to prepare.

During the Spring Festival this year, the family declined the invitation of the grandfather's family next door, and prepared to spend it in their own yard.

Although it is not the first time that Zhengzheng has celebrated the New Year, his activities last year were still very limited, and his little head did not remember the events of last year's Spring Festival.

Third Uncle Chu saw that the little guy's appearance was very interesting, so he found his own wheelchair to sit on it, and then hugged him standing on his knees, took him to touch the window flower for a while, dragged the red spike under the lantern for a while, and ran to the stove room for a while, watching Shen Luzhu and Xiuxiu prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the tanuki followed behind the wheelchair, running happily, meowing a few times from time to time, making several people smile.

Although he and Grandpa Chu have been separated, and the ancestral tablets were also taken away by Grandpa Chu when they were separated, the third uncle Chu and the little couple have always retained the habit of worshipping their ancestors in their thirties, burning paper, burning incense, bowing and praying, and wishing for blessings.

There are thirty of them

The custom of keeping the New Year's is to pay attention to the lights and candles in the courtyard of the house that are not extinguished all night, and the family chats around the stove to keep the New Year, saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year, and also has the meaning of praying for blessings and driving away disasters.

It is the backing village on the first day of the Lunar New Year, to be extraordinarily quiet, most people have a hasty breakfast, and then go back to the room to make up for sleep, and even more can't even take care of breakfast, they have already entered a dark and sweet dreamland, and Zhou Gong and his old man played chess and chatted.

Zhengzheng is a small person, yesterday relying on a novelty, he forced himself to eat the hot dumplings at midnight, and he still couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep, so the entire Chu family, he was also the first to wake up, looked at the father and mother who hugged each other and slept together, and finally crawled to the raccoon flower that was lying at the foot and pretending to sleep.

Shen Luzhu woke up slowly, stretched out his hand from Chu Yi's arms in a daze and touched it behind him, but unexpectedly he pounced, turned around and looked, the quilt beside him turned out to be empty, sat up suddenly, and saw the two little ones at his feet looking at him with a confused face.

Chu Yi sat up, hugged his wife comfortingly, and then hugged the fat son who was sitting at his feet back, touched his fleshy hands and feet, and then said reassuringly: "It's okay, my hands and feet are very hot, I just added firewood in the morning, and the house is not cold and not freezing him."

Shen Luzhu also knew about Chu Yi's firewood in the morning, but he was half-asleep and half-awake, thinking that Zhengzheng was gone, he was startled, and he had been relieving himself, and when he heard the words, he leaned softly into Chu Yi's arms, reached out and pinched Zhengzheng's little face, enjoying this moment of lazy time.

"Thank you for your concern, "The Little Lady of the Coffin Shop" will be restored and updated from today, thank you again!"
