Chapter 37: Returning Home
When everyone heard Qian Mingyuan's words, they all cheered. Of the wooden gang, only three or five came from Anton, and the rest of the people had their families in the local area. Generally speaking, it is these villages near Changbai County. I can go home tomorrow, and I can go back with fifteen taels of silver, and the New Year will be lively.
The clouds and snow are also very beautiful, and after going up the mountain for a month and a half, you can get back fifteen taels of silver, which is something that I didn't dare to think of before. If you go home early tomorrow, you can buy some good things in the county town and take them home. Yun Xue was very happy when she thought of the surprise appearance of her younger brothers and sisters.
That night, the big guys all went to bed early. At the beginning of the next day, Sun Changhai put on his horse and climbed the plow, pulled a few people, and walked back. The way home was all the way downhill, and the plough was much better than a horse-drawn carriage in winter. It took them an hour to come to Changbai County.
Sun Changhai agreed with everyone, at the beginning of the afternoon, meet under the West City Gate, and then everyone walked back together. Yun Xue took the money and went shopping happily. Zheng Song originally said that he wanted to follow Yun Xue, but Sun Changhai had a lot of things to buy, so everyone still acted separately.
Today is a small year, and the whole county is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively. In the most central place, there is one of the busiest streets. Yun Xue walked on the street, looking at everything rare, looking at it like this, looking at it like that, and wanting to buy everything she saw.
After shopping for a long time, Yunxue bought five catties of pork, five catties of white noodles, and a bag of candy, and pulled a few rulers for her younger brothers and sisters, keeping them to make new clothes for the New Year. also bought a set of four treasures for Yun Lin, and bought gifts for Yun Zhen and them. Because my parents just passed away this year, everyone is still in filial piety, so there is no need to buy firecrackers and other things. The pair can only be pasted with a kind of white paper and blue characters, Yun Xue thinks, it is better not to post it, many people encounter such a time, do not paste the pair, others look at it, and they understand.
Yun Xue bought a few head ropes for Yun Ni, Qianru and Hanyu, and each of them had a pair of silk flowers, which was the end of the matter. Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so I hurried to the west gate. Yun Xue brought a lot of things, but fortunately, her strength was quite strong, but she didn't feel heavy, so she came all the way to the West City Gate.
Sun Changhai and his son were already waiting there, and several other people also came back one after another. As soon as Sun Changhai saw that everyone was ready, he drove the horse to climb the plow and walked all the way home. On the way, two men climbed the plough under the seventeen ditches.
Waiting for the fifteen ditches, Yun Xue jumped off the climbing plow. Sun Changhai made an agreement with Yun Xue, and on the fifth day of the new year, they came to pick up Yun Xue, and everyone went up the mountain together. Yun Xue took all the things she bought, and then waved goodbye to everyone. Then he carried his things and walked home happily.
At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and some families began to prepare for the New Year at home, so there were few people outside the village. Yunxue didn't meet a few people on the road, so he went all the way back home.
The door of the Han family was hidden. In the village, no one usually closes the door during the day, and it is only at night that the door is closed. Yun Xue stretched out her hand to push the door open, and just stepped into the courtyard, but a shadow suddenly rushed out of the house and rushed towards Yun Xue.
Yun Xue dodged the shadow, and when she looked closely, it was rhubarb. "Rhubarb, what are you doing?" Yun Xue shouted.
Rhubarb turned around and leaned on Yun Xue's waist, his big head constantly rubbing against Yun Xue's waist. Yun Xue was itchy by it, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, don't be coquettish here." Let's go inside. ”
Before Yun Xue could finish speaking, a few more people ran out of the room, it was Yun Lin and Yun Ni. Several children looked at Yun Xue in the yard, and they all couldn't believe it, "Sister, are you really back?" Ah, great, the eldest sister is back. The children cheered.
Yun Xue threw the things she was carrying on her shoulders to the ground, took a few steps forward, and hugged her younger siblings. "The eldest sister is back, and the eldest sister is back to accompany you for the New Year." As he spoke, tears couldn't help but fall.
Yunlin Yunzhen was a few, and they all cried, "Eldest sister, we miss you so much." For a while, the sisters and brothers were crying in this courtyard. It was Yunlin who stopped crying first, "Sister, come on, let's go into the house and talk." Second brother, eldest sister, don't cry. The eldest sister must be tired these days in the mountains, let's go into the house to talk, how cold it is outside. ”
Yun Zhen and Yun Ni quickly wiped their tears, and then Yun Zhen helped bring the things into the house. Yun Ni put her arm around the eldest sister, Yun Ting and Yun Lei were also next to Yun Xue, and everyone entered the house together.
Xiao Huang was also very excited when he saw Yun Xue coming back, and jumped on Yun Xue's body at once. Then he arched his head around Yun Xue's body, and rubbed his head against Yun Xue's chest. made Yun Xue cry and laugh, "This little perverted tiger, with such a little bit, you know that you can take advantage." ”
Everyone sat on the kang, and Yun Xue took out the things she bought one by one. "Yunni, this is for you. Yunlin, this is yours, as well as Yunzhen and Yunting Yunlei, everyone has a share. There are also newly bought fabrics here, and the eldest sister will make new clothes for you these days, just in time for the New Year. The rest of the food, let's keep it for these few days. Wait for two more days, and then we will go buy some New Year's goods and come back. Yun Xue gave the things to her younger siblings.
The two little ones were very happy with the things Yunxue sent. And Yunlin's several older ones looked at the eldest sister with some sadness, "Eldest sister, you are desperately earning money in the mountains, but you came back to buy us such things." You see, you haven't even bought anything for yourself. Eldest sister, we are all very good at home, we don't lack anything, and we don't have to spend this money in the future. ”
Yun Xue smiled, "Nonsense, isn't it for you that the eldest sister went to earn money?" Since you have money, of course I have to buy you something good. By the way, let's not talk about these for now, today is the New Year, do you have any delicious food? ”
"We were planning to make dumplings, and I just chopped the meat and noodles that the eldest brother and the second brother went to the town to buy yesterday, and I was about to start making dumplings at this time. It's just right for the eldest sister to come back, let's work together. When Yunni heard this, she hurriedly said. The little sister is asleep, and when she wakes up, we will send out someone to watch her. ”
So Yun Xue went to wash her hands, and then everyone started to make dumplings together. I just wrapped half of it, but the clouds woke up. Yunni hurriedly went to urinate Yunxia again, and then re-padbed the diaper, and then hugged the panel to come forward. Now that Yunxia has been five months, it is quite quick to turn over, and she has turned over all of a sudden.
"Yun Ting, Yun Lei, you two go and watch your sister, let's just make dumplings." Yun Xue saw that the two younger brothers didn't know how to make dumplings at all, so they had to do it, so they had to let the two of them go to see the children.
Fortunately, Yun Ting was very obedient, and after wiping his hands, he hugged Yun Xia to play on the kang. Yunxue and the others concentrated on making dumplings, and after a while, they were finished.
It stands to reason that they are still in the filial piety period and want to be vegetarian. But the family is full of children, and it is the time to grow up, so if you eat vegetarian all day, how can you stand it. It's not a big family, and there are a lot of things to eat. Moreover, Yun Xue feels that filial piety or not is not about what to eat. As long as they can grow up well and healthily, it is true filial piety. If the children are burned for the sake of those false names, it will hurt the hearts of parents.
Yunxue took the lead, and the rest were small, so everyone didn't have a taboo about these.
The dumplings are wrapped, and it is the end of the time. Outside, firecrackers began to be set off, and Yun Xue went down to boil water to prepare to cook dumplings. Yunni and Yunlin hurriedly cleaned up the kang. Then the dumplings were brought to the kitchen.
After a while, the dumplings were cooked, and Yun Xue took out a bowl of dumplings and put them on the edge of the pot, with a pair of chopsticks placed horizontally on it. Then the rest of the dumplings are brought to the house, and everyone eats together. "Come on, let's have a reunion dinner together today. It's been more than a month since the eldest sister left, and when I was in the mountains, I just missed you. Yun Xue got everything ready, and then beckoned her younger siblings to eat together.
So everyone sat on the kang and ate dumplings. While eating, Yun Xue praised Yun Ni for making the dumpling filling taste good. I was a little embarrassed to praise Yunni, and my little face was a little red.
"Eldest sister, don't praise me, we used to eat like this, why are you still praising today?" Yunni whispered.
As a result, everyone laughed, and then finished the meal quietly.
After eating, Yun Zhen surrounded the eldest sister and pestered her to tell her about the things on the mountain. "Eldest sister, tell us quickly, what is it like on the mountain? Is it cold in the mountains? Are you tired of working? Also, are those people treating you well, are there any people bullying you? Yun Lin asked a lot of questions at once.
Yun Xue smiled and told them about the experience on the mountain, in fact, when Han Yong was there in the past, every time he came back, Yun Zhen and they would also pester. Yun Xue said something simply.
"Eldest sister, you get up so early every day to cook? More than 30 people eat, so you don't have to work for half a day? I also have to wash clothes, on a cold day, the eldest sister doesn't wash it with cold water, right? That's not going to work, it's going to hurt you. After listening to what Yun Xue said, Yun Lin couldn't help but say that he felt sorry for his sister.
"It's okay, it's just a big pot of rice, just a pot of vegetables and a pot of rice for one meal. Two meals a day, not too busy. I always use hot water to wash my clothes, and I don't dare to use cold water. Yun Xue hurriedly explained, but she was very moved in her heart, her younger brothers have grown up and know that they care about people.
The sisters and brothers were talking and laughing together, even Xiao Yunxia, although she didn't understand why everyone was laughing, but she was dancing with her hands and was very happy. Yun Xue hugged her sister and kissed her on the face, causing Yun Xia to giggle.
