"Grandma, I moved a pot of vegetables covered with a broken quilt into the yard, and I didn't see it, so I heard others ask me if it was a vegetable and what was the long (intestine)."

It is bean sprouts and flour sausages, and bean sprouts are three to five days' amount.

And the reason why the noodles and sausages were sent was because the Xu family sold all the sausages to the Zhenbei Army and Fucheng County a few years ago, and they didn't even want to buy the caravan when they turned around.

Shopkeeper Lu still asked, will it be ten and a half days and a half? The Xu family said no, no matter how many days it takes, we will continue to supply the Zhenbei Army and other restaurants, no way, we have a contract and can't break the contract, and we haven't eaten it for the New Year.

However, the flour sausage is sold to the daughter-in-law of the mountain in the town, it doesn't matter if she sells more or less, Mrs. Xu took out twenty of them and brought them to her in-laws as a New Year's gift, so that Xiaoli who stayed at home could eat some.

After all, this is a specialty made by the Xu family.

Helpless these two things, Uncle Yu really scolded the little granddaughter in the fog of Yunshan and said: "I don't know what the dish is, what is long and short, it's all over the matter, I can't understand what I learned, do you just care about firecrackers?" Don't do anything serious at all.

Third grandson, third grandson, you go out to watch the excitement with your sister, if that noodles give you something to eat, you will take it, do you hear? ”

Sure enough, this third grandson is a clever child.

After a while, he ran back and told his grandmother:

"Grandma, even the Lantern Festival of the fifteenth year was brought along. provoked the envy of many grandmothers and aunts. And he took it into the courtyard and dried it. ”

Uncle Yu's eldest daughter was about to pout, and her third nephew immediately told her grandmother and aunts:

"It's not the kind of dried wild vegetables we have at home.

I heard from the people in the village that it was the kombu given by the senior official to the uncle of the Xu family, anyway, it was a dish that we had never seen, and there was a jar of aged vinegar, which was also given by the senior official, and it was specially transported from the south, and the uncle of the Xu family brought it to let me taste it. ”

"Gone?"

It's finally gone.

Uncle Yu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but this year she was completely suppressed by the third room, and even her son-in-law Tian came later, it is estimated that it can't compare to this kind of New Year's gift.

Unexpectedly, it was not over yet, and her grandson said that he would explore it again and report it again.

This is really, I know that you are coming to see your mother-in-law, and those who don't know think that you are coming to the county master to give gifts. What an unattainable mother-in-law? Hold it like this.

Fortunately, this time, her third grandson ran back in the blink of an eye and said:

"There are two other things, but the uncle of the Xu family is not uncommon to show off, and these are also asked by the villagers, so he said. I suspect it's sugar, maybe grandma, he won't tell me, can I know? Also, the ox cart can't get into the yard. ”

"Why can't you enter the courtyard?"

"Uncle Xu's ox cart is too big, and it is just one side away from the gate of the third grandmother's house, so he can either unload the gate or can only unload the goods at the door."

The child was a little lost and said: "Milk, the uncle of the Xu family doesn't seem to know me and my sister, and the third grandmother in that yard is surrounded by everyone and doesn't see a few of us, and no one gives us food." ”

Xu Youliang really didn't know the children of the Yu family.

In the three years of marriage, I have only been to Yujiazhuang twice, and I have returned to the door to be preached.

He has to keep his head down and be trained, how can he have the heart to observe the grandchildren of the uncle's family.

However, I have to say, look at how detailed this little third grandson reported.

Not only that, but this kid played for a long time, and he also learned the words of the families in the village:

"Speaking of our Zhuangzi this year, the uncle of the Xu family is the first uncle, and no one can compare."

"The fat milk in the east courtyard said that with such a brother-in-law, it is difficult for the two brothers-in-law in that courtyard to be poor."

Uncle Yu and several daughters who had already arrived at her mother's house were very uncomfortable when they heard it.

"My second grandmother patted her thigh and praised the uncle of the Xu family and said that a good girl is not as good as a good son-in-law, and she is talking about the uncle of the Xu family......"

What's that?

Uncle Yu was in a hurry, and the younger siblings in the second room had already run to pick up the stinky feet.

She didn't care about cooking, so she hurriedly pushed open the door of the house and said to her man: "Endless chatter, this is all my own aunt Why do I have so much chatter, and the third aunt is back." ”

On the other hand, he ran to the gate with some anger, not wanting his second brother and sister to pretend to be good people alone. The second brother and sister have always had a urinal with gold edges, and only the mouth is good.

Uncle Yu's four golden flowers are still one short of arriving home, and the rest of them look at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and I have some bad feelings in my heart and go out.

A cousin who used to be inferior to them everywhere.

Over the years, they have four sisters, plus two cousins in the second room, and among the seven people, only Xiaoqin in the third room has lived the lowest life.

A cousin who once picked up their old clothes to wear even after they got married.

At that time, they had old clothes for Xiaoqin if they were temperamental, and if they didn't like it, they didn't give it, and the old clothes had to be patched and the soles of their shoes were included. If you give it kindly, it will be regarded as a New Year's gift to the third aunt's family, and there is no need to prepare other New Year's gifts separately, and the third aunt will also say thank you.

An orphan girl who married into the Xu family and had to serve the eldest brother's family at the beginning, to put it bluntly, is no different from being a stepmother.

It's better to hear than to see with your own eyes.

They want to see what has become of them now.

At this time, Xu Youliang was vigorously introduced, accompanied by the joyful but slow sound of firecrackers, greeting the village elders one by one with a smile on his face.

There are a few, and the reason why Xu Youliang brought so many pastry gift boxes is to visit. It's not just for my mother-in-law's house.

It's like Yujiazhuang is about to visit, and now Lizheng's youngest son is present, and when they pat each other on the shoulder, they take the opportunity to say that they will go to your house to sit in a while. Let Lizheng's youngest son bring the words back first.

It is more convenient to go back to Erdaohe with him tomorrow or sometime, and it will be more convenient to go back to the village later, and it will not be embarrassed. can't be trivial, it depends on the right to suppress the right of the family to know the big official or the big mountain brother is town pavilion, and send a little if you should send it, and you can exchange favors.

There are also some relatives, Xu Youliang knows it in his heart.

At the beginning, the family helped his mother-in-law to say good things, and then he was allocated two acres of high-quality fields to get some farm tools, and he had to receive this love at any time.

In the past, I didn't have the ability, and I could only see people everywhere with respect and politeness.

This time, as the son-in-law of the Yu family, he wanted to bring some gifts to visit. In this way, the relationship will be better again, and when he turns around, he will vigorously lead the strong labor away, and only the mother-in-law and Xiaoli are left in the village If they encounter any difficulties, they don't expect the second room of the big house in the Yu family, and other people can also reach out and send a letter to Erdaohe or something.

So when the Yu family came out of the big house, I saw that after two years, Xu Youliang changed a lot.

Not to mention the young man who has changed his spirit, he keeps taking the initiative to greet the old and young masters. A mother-in-law's family is his business.

How can there be anyone who once climbed to their house to make mattresses, help chop wood, and sit at the bottom of the table without squeaking when eating.

Several daughters in the Yu family's big house deliberately looked at Yu Qinniang, who was pulled by the neighbor's fat aunt.

Yu Qinniang was wearing a red jacket and did not have a patch.

With the red ox cart next to it, it's a car.

It seems that she is being blamed by her mother for not stopping and buying so much.

Yu Qinniang said to the Lin family truthfully: "Mother, like that Hou Meat, your aunt bought it home without discussing it with me." He never said like other men, let me put the money here, I can buy whatever I want to buy during the New Year, and I will buy it for my mother's family if I want to, and never say this. ”

Yu Dali was still trying to unload the gate with the village boys, but the gate could not be removed, so he could only temporarily unload the board on the ox cart and let the old cattle who had driven all the way rest.

Hearing this, his eyes widened, and for the first time, he found that his sister's mouth was quite capable of smearing his brother-in-law outside, if he hadn't stayed in the Xu family, he would have believed in evil.

looked at the brother-in-law who was the pillar of the family, how wronged: "Sister, do you have a conscience when you say this?" ”

Yu Qinniang smiled:

"I have, I have. If he does that, I can't be honest.

Mother, he just bought it back, and didn't give me a chance to stop him at all.

Not to mention my mother-in-law, when I asked, she told me to eat more and worry less, and even my niece told me what clothes I wore to wipe my face.

I really don't want to be in charge of my in-laws' house, hahaha, I didn't know anything before I came! ”

Xu Lao Er turned his head to his mother-in-law and complained with a smile: "Yes, mother, you listen to let her be in charge, she is too lazy to do it, and my mother gives her money and doesn't care." ”

Everyone understands that this is a blessed person who doesn't need to be busy.

What else do you think of this kind of home?

You are in charge, and your mother's family may not be able to borrow it.

Why are you so envious and hateful, you don't give others a sense of happiness at all, and you have to go back to find a few miserable comparisons, otherwise you will panic after listening to it.

No, a village lady said sour words loudly: "I really don't like to give gifts like this, can the meat be delicious if it can't be eaten and thawed repeatedly?" It's really on the second day of the Lunar New Year. In fact, the main reason is that I didn't give birth to a daughter, two sons, and I was jealous. ”

was pushed by the Lin family and said with a smile: "Seventh sister-in-law, don't scare my aunt, I don't know you and think you are really hot, if your eyes are hot, don't worry, I will send you a bowl of meat if I don't eat when I turn back." ”

Really send.

Because I didn't have the money to buy a sewing and threading sole, it was a silver money borrowed from the seventh sister-in-law who had no daughter. There is also a fat sister-in-law in the neighbor of the East Hospital, who has helped a lot over the years. It's better than the two sisters-in-law opposite.

Even the old hen that my aunt had just killed this morning, the fattest one was also bought from the fat sister-in-law, and they specially kept it.

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed out loud.

It just so happened that the ox cart had finished unloading the carriage, and it was time to drag it into the yard and tie it up to feed the hay and drink some water.

Lin said: "Then let's go into the house, and then let my aunt talk to everyone in a while, and the child will drive all the way to the kang to warm up." ”

He deliberately glanced at the sister-in-law in the second room: "Second sister-in-law, let's go over later." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, brother and sister, I really ran here because I was really happy for your family, I haven't seen Xiaoqin for a long time, Ai Mom, this child really makes me feel uncomfortable."

The second aunt of the Yu family got the right words, and she was so happy.

This means that I will go to her house to sit down in a while.

She doesn't care what the relationship was like before, as long as she has the ability, she has always known each other and has to get married.

However, when she turned around, she slapped her man's big mouth, why did she owe so much to drink a little wine, she said that people were poor back then. was so angry that the younger siblings in the third room wiped their tears and left.

You see, at the moment, you can only try to try to ease the relationship.

Fortunately, it is stronger than the big house, and the eldest brother directly said that the uncle of the Xu family in the third room can't afford to raise a child, and people will hold a grudge for a lifetime if they can't prepare it.

And several female relatives of Uncle Yu's family accompanied the sound of firecrackers, listening to the flattery of the villagers, the more they looked at it, the more lively they became, and they turned around and went home as early as when Yu Qinniang laughed.

When he entered the courtyard, he muttered heartily:

"It's really good."

"Either you can't afford it, or you have to make up for the New Year's gift to your mother-in-law's family at one time, right?"

"Otherwise, why not even bring dumplings and bean buns, why is it so coincidental? At the beginning of that year, the second father said that he couldn't afford to raise children, so it was the dumplings I brought and the bean bags brought by my eldest sister. ”

"Yes, that side is just showing off our family, don't you have a lot of daughters in your family? Let your father say that I am poor, let your family take the dumplings and the other family take the bean bags, and he simply brought the New Year's gifts that our two rooms and six daughters and sons-in-law will bring to his mother-in-law. This is revenge. ”

Uncle Yu suddenly asked loudly in the house: "What are you talking about outside, Uncle Sanfang will come back when he comes back, and when he comes back, he will come to see my uncle." It's better to find out where Tian's son-in-law is, and he will kneel in a while! ”

This is true.

No matter how disgusted you are, you have to come to the door to take a look, after all, the situation of the Yu family and the Xu family is different, and they have never completely turned the world upside down to the extent of breaking off their relatives.

In the eyes of the people in Zhuangzi, it is a whole.

Lin always said that if your grandmother and father were alive, they would not want to stop moving. The family's two acres of land and family property, no matter how much or less, are also inherited from the ancestors. Then follow your father's and your father's ideas.

It can be seen that the personality is different and the way of dealing with it is different, Xu Youliang, as a son-in-law, must respect the choice of the Yu family, and he will come to the door, which is not called to give face to the two families, but to fight for face for the mother-in-law and his own daughter-in-law.

But whether the Lin family was hurt or scolded her uncle for holding grudges, she still had some changes.

She entered the house to make hot tea for her son-in-law, and then took off her daughter's cotton shoes so that she could sit on the kang, and then said that she would take out two boxes of pastries and go to your uncle's house, one box for each family. Don't carry anything else. I will definitely not go to those two for dinner this year.

Lin felt that it would be good for her uncle to give face, and it was difficult enough for a child, so she was reluctant to give her in-laws' heart to others. If there is something delicious, let my aunt and my daughter eat, and they only come once a year, so let our children eat some good food.

Dali and Xu Youliang glanced at each other, and they also thought that a box of pastries for a family was enough, and they felt that this person was really strange, when we were poor, we couldn't wait to give all the hands that our family could give, and it was enough to make anyone look down on it.

When we are done, simply bring some New Year's gifts to the door, and even some people are so powerful that they don't carry anything, as long as people enter the house, the other party will be very happy, and feel that it is full of brilliance.

This is the warmth and coldness of the world that the two of them went out to deliver and walked.

"Indeed, my brother-in-law can go enough for them to be happy. Brother-in-law, then let's not be in a hurry, pinch the hour when to kneel before the bow, and when to go and sit down briefly. ”

And this is also the reason why it is necessary to visit the two uncles of the Yu family.

There is a local custom that sons-in-law, grandsons, and grandsons-in-law must go to the ancestral hall to bow down before the meal.

You can only eat after worshipping your ancestors, which is to tell your ancestors that your uncle is half back.

Usually a large family of sons-in-law get together and walk towards the ancestral hall.

Xu Youliang, as the little aunt, wants to find those cousins-in-law, for example, to the son-in-law of Pu Yuzi? After finding it, he will pay 36 copper coins to the patriarch of the ancestral hall of Yujiazhuang, and will give each of these sons-in-law a long strip of red paper, which will be hung around his neck like a red scarf when he kneels and worships.

Therefore, today is not only in the family village, such as Erdaohe, a village with mixed surnames, has moved out the big pig heads to worship the ancestors, and this ceremony will be held for the aunts and grandsons who have returned to their parents' homes. Although it had never been done before, Liu Laozhu had to deal with the villagers in the past, so he would not bother to do it. This is the first time.

and Bai Muyan was at his grandmother's house, and his father was holding his mother's wooden sign and preparing to kneel and salute.

There are no daughters in other families who attend the kneeling worship on the second day of the new year, but the white mother raises a son who has won fame, whether the white mother is a mother-in-law's family to worship the ancestors or to go back to the mother's house to worship the ancestors, people are eligible to attend when they are alive, and people are not listed in the ancestral hall with men in general.

Right now, Xu Youliang saw that the time was almost up, and went to Uncle Yu's house with a pastry box.

It's such a coincidence, before people entered the house, they heard that Tian's son-in-law had just arrived from the cold, and was saying: "I can't catch the car, Dad, my second cousin's car was driven away to his father-in-law's house." ”

"Quickly spread the jade, spread the jade."

Xu Youliang entered the house, and the eldest aunt smiled a little unnaturally, after all, it was the first time she took the initiative to greet and said, "Oh, it's my aunt's grain here, his father?" ”

Tian's son-in-law was just about to climb onto the kang, when he heard the movement, he hurriedly turned his head to look over, waved his hand and said to Xu Youliang: "Brother-in-law, quick, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll sit in the kang on a mattress for you." ”

"I'm looking to see Uncle...... Well? Isn't it a gong? Let's go and bow down, let's go, talk on the way, brothers-in-law. ”

Look at how accurate the hour is.

The ancestral hall of Yujiazhuang was opened.

The daughters who returned to their parents' homes had to stand aside and watch, and the sons-in-law had already paid the fee and stood up.

Xu Youliang wore a strip of red cloth around his neck.

Xu Youliang stood particularly conspicuous in the procession, because many sons-in-law and onlookers were looking at him. He turned his head to look in the direction of Qin Niang and smiled, and after laughing, he looked ahead and thought seriously:

Father-in-law, your son-in-law has come back after a year, and in the past three years, other people's aunts will buy it, but I have never bought it with the New Year's gift. Your son-in-law is no longer worried about paying the thirty-six Uncle Wen to worship the ancestors, are you happy?

You wait, Xiaoqin already has a baby, and there may be one more person to bow down to the team of grandchildren.

At the same time, Erdaohe, Liu Laozhu was also shouting:

"Son-in-law bow down!"

"Grandson bows!"

"Grandson-in-law, bye!"

Liu Laozhu also added a program of his own, which is not available in other villages.

He asked his sons-in-law to kneel for a while longer, and said:

In the new year, I hope that my aunts and sons will be kind to the daughters in our village.

After speaking, he shouted, the aunts are up, and he bowed to the uncles on behalf of the old fathers-in-law: "Please." ”

His eldest daughter was moved to cry next to him.
