Chapter 59: New Year's Day

Shen Yu was so angry that he secretly wanted to go into battle quietly during the winter vacation. But as a result, on the first day of winter vacation, she was mercilessly ridiculed by her living conditions.

Sugar cake has to be fried to be delicious, she wants to fry fried fritters and sugar cake to sell, at least there must be a small stove, a small iron pot, and some bits and pieces such as oil and sugar, but her family now has a big iron pot for cooking, and there is no oil, and there is nothing else.

If you want to buy these things, you have to spend money, and the family has spent all the money because of building a house, this situation of nothing makes Shen Yuling's ambition and pride to do business fall into a dead end all of a sudden.

Shen Yuling was a little unwilling, but the conditions were here, and there was no way to be unwilling, and in the end, the plan to improve the living conditions ended again without a problem.

But the fact that improving life is not easy to do, even if it is about going to school, Shen Yuling has made up his mind and cannot compromise.

Because of the extra harvest of sweet potatoes this year, Fang Youshun did not buy food again with his allowance this winter, so during the winter vacation this year, Shen Yusleeve had an extra red head rope in addition to the sugar cubes that were still among the best because of his grades.

This is Fang Youshun specially selected for the two girls, the New Year, the children can also be more festive. The reason why he picked the head rope was because he was afraid that if he bought it for all children, Shen Yuzhen would ask Shen Yusleeve to let him out.

He thought, this rope is something for girls, Shen Yuzhen should have no reason to let this child out, right?

But as a result, Fang Youshun still underestimated Shen Yuzhen's dedication, and as soon as he gave the red head rope to the two girls, he heard Shen Yuzhen say: "Xiao Sleeve, our eldest brother should also say kiss when the year comes, our head rope will be kept for the eldest brother for a blind date, and when the head rope is given to the new sister-in-law, the sister-in-law will definitely be happy." ”

Fang Youshun was almost speechless, for fear that Shen Yusleeve would be angry again, so he tied the red head rope to her head in three or two clicks, and kicked people out to play.

After taking Shen Yu's sleeves away, Fang Youshun turned around and said to Shen Yuzhen with a smile: "Even if your eldest brother goes on a blind date, he doesn't need to give the two of them a head rope, just keep it for your sister-in-law in the future, and don't use the jade sleeve one, okay, there's nothing wrong here, you can go home." ”

After speaking, Fang Youshun turned his head and stopped looking at Shen Yuzhen, whose face had changed because of what he said, washed his hands, moved the panel to the kang and put it away, and prepared to knead the bun with Grandma Fang.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and his family is not short of food now, and his wife said that he wants to steam the white flour bun and let his daughter go out for the New Year to give gifts, of course he has to help.

Shen Yuzhen saw that Fang Youshun turned around and got busy, and she didn't mean to take care of herself at all, so she turned around and went home with a bad face at that time.

This grandfather is too partial to the second sister, obviously both of them have red head ropes, why only let her out? She also liked the red head rope.

Grandma Fang looked back at Shen Yuzhen, who was holding her mouth and leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.

Now, she can see that this eldest granddaughter just likes to be a good person, and she has to pull on her small sleeves to be a good person, and she can't pull people, and she is the only one who loses her interests, so she is not happy.

What kind of character is this?

No, she still has to find a way to say this kid in the future, this temper is not good.

Grandma Fang sighed and took the basin out of the pot, and began to knead the dough with Fang Youshun, and at the same time decided in her heart that even if she bought food in the future, she would not buy it for anyone. When the time comes, whoever comes diligently will eat more, and if you don't come diligently and can't eat, it's no wonder who wants to be a good person every day with this granddaughter who wants to pick things out of her hands every day.

Nowadays, the food of each family is not rich, this year's village can post a Spring Festival couplet and eat dumplings during the New Year, that is the best family, if there is meat filling in the dumplings, it will be even worse, as for wearing new clothes and hats, there is basically no one in the village this year, including Shen Yusleeve.

It's not that Fang Youshun doesn't want to buy it for her, but it's really dry in the spring, and the cotton won't be confiscated, but the children are all growing taller, so he can only buy cotton for the children first and make thick cotton clothes.

Of course, when Grandma Fang made cotton jackets and cotton pants, she didn't leave Zhao Hui behind, after all, this child can help his family do a lot of work this winter, and if he doesn't give money to others, if he doesn't even make cotton clothes, it is a little unreasonable.

What's more, the cotton clothes on this child's body are very thin, and he is so cold that he snorts every day, which is strange and distressing to look at.

Of course, cotton is very expensive now, and the cotton clothes of the adults and children in my family are not all new cotton, and of course what Grandma Fang made for Zhao Hui cannot be brand new.

She just took a look at a good day, and asked Zhao Hui to take off the cotton clothes on his body and cover the quilt on the kang to stay, then dismantle his cotton clothes, take these old cotton strips to the bow room to play it again, add some new cotton into it, and then use the old clothes that Grandpa Fang had washed before to change the size and make him a new one.

Although this body is not said to be good, it is definitely better than what Zhao Hui was wearing originally, and it is not a star and a half, and it is also thick and warm.

When Zhao Hui wore the cotton jacket and cotton pants made for him by his grandmother, his moved eyes were full of tears.

After all these years, the cotton clothes on his body have long been out of fit, and they have long been thin and unable to withstand the cold, every winter, he will always be frozen to the point that his bones hurt, and he sleeps at night with cold teeth and fights.

And now wearing this clothes, the bones in his body don't hurt anymore, and his body that has been curled up all day can be slowly stretched, whether it is on his body or in his heart, it is warm and comfortable every day.

Zhao Hui is very fond of this cotton clothes, and he becomes cautious in his work every day, for fear that he will accidentally get dirty and tear the clothes.

Regarding the changes in the clothes on Zhao Hui's body, the Zhao family and his wife didn't notice it, but because the fabric of his cotton clothes was old and had a lot of patches, they thought that this was the clothes they didn't wear, so they didn't care too much.

The twenty-seventh day of the lunar month is the last day of the village to catch the market before the year.

Because the Shen brothers now have their own new homes, there are a lot of couplets to be written this year, Shen Jinggui saw that the workload was a bit heavy, and he was afraid that Shen Yuwen's slow writing method would not be finished until the next year, so he left Shen Yulin at home to help Shen Yuwen write together.

After all, Shen Yulin is now in the third grade, and he has learned a lot of words, not to mention that some words can't be written, and he can also draw them according to cats and tigers.

Shen Yulin was locked up in his father's house to write couplets every day, but Shen Yusleeve was a big idler, she was not needed for steaming buns at home, and she was not needed to write couplets, so she ran around the market with her friends.

Although people's living conditions are not very good nowadays, they attach great importance to the New Year, and there are still many people in the surrounding villages who come to the market.

There are those who sell chickens, ducks and geese, those who sell the perpetual calendar painted by the King of the Stove, and those who sell all kinds of daily necessities and small things.

I don't know if it's because there are a lot of people who borrowed her sweet potatoes this year, but now her popularity among the children in the village is quite high, not that those children are suddenly good to her, at least those children will no longer deliberately find fault with her, and can talk to her well.

In fact, the children have two words for the New Year: eat and play.

With food and someone to play with, they don't have anything on their minds.

is also because the friends can live in peace with her again, Shen Yusleeve is playing quite crazy this year, almost waking up and not going home, and when she doesn't eat and sleep at night, she can't see her shadow at home.

When Shen Yusleeve came home that day and saw two strangers talking to Fang Youshun, he was stunned for a moment.
