The Sun family prepared a banquet, and after everyone added makeup, Xiaoqin's father and mother left them here to eat the banquet before leaving. Some stayed, while others went home. After all, it is a daughter-in-law, which is different from marrying a daughter-in-law, and there is no feeling of joy.

Yun Xue did not eat at Sun's house, but went home. She remembered her younger brothers and sisters at home, and she didn't have the heart to eat at Sun's house. Xiaoqin kept it, but she couldn't screw Yunxue, so she had to let her go.

Yun Xue returned home, just as Yun Ni and the others had made dinner. It was too late for them to finish the banquet at noon, and the children were more likely to be hungry, so they had to eat more in the evening. Everyone ate together, and Yun Ting and Yun Lei muttered about how the lunch meal was better.

"Don't worry, wait for Cousin Yuxiang to become a parent, and our family should kill pigs. When the time comes, let you eat a good meal of meat. "This year, every household does not have enough food to eat, and the big guys want to go to the mountains to get some game to fill it, but the result is that the animals in the forest are afraid to come close to the village, and they can't wait to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. Yun Zhen is not at home again, Yun Xue and Tianfu also have a lot of work to do every day, and only the mother and son of Rhubarb occasionally go into the mountains to get something back. So this year, the big guys really haven't eaten meat a few times.

"Actually, our family still has a lot of meat, and it's all in the cave at the back. If you want to eat, let Tianfu take out some tomorrow, let's make it and eat it. Yun Xue thought that she couldn't treat the children badly, so she smiled.

"Eldest sister, no need, now our family is already well-fed. A few days ago, I heard from my classmates that their family hadn't seen meat for a long time. Nowadays, the price of food is high, and the price of pork is not low, and ordinary people really can't afford to eat it. Our family still has rhubarb to help, which is already rare. Yun Ting hurriedly shook his head.

"That's right, it's good to have something in the cave, let's not take it out for the time being. Where is this now? Wait until the spring of the new year, when the wild vegetables have not yet come out, let's look at it, I'm afraid that many people will not be able to open the pot. The price of grain has never come down, and I don't know what it will look like if it goes on like this. We can save a little now, and when that time comes, we will see it. Tianfu put down the bowl in his hand and said. The family has always been Tianfu going out to buy things, and for prices, counting Tianfu is the most sensitive.

"If you want me to say, to kill pigs in the New Year, you have to kill at least two pigs. When the time comes, it's best not to sell it, but to keep some salted and keep it to eat slowly. When there is nothing to eat, the silver will not be exchanged for food. Tianfu thought for a moment before saying this.

Tianfu's words are reasonable, and the big guys also agree. Now the family still has enough money, and the money from selling ginseng in the summer has not been used at all, and it is stored there. It is said that with this money, there should be some more industries. Yunxue originally planned to buy some more land, but she never encountered it, and no one sold good land, so she had to meet an opportunity. Yunxue in the wasteland doesn't plan to buy it again for the time being, it's too laborious, and the family is Yunzhen and Tianfu who can work, but they are both children. Besides, the world is too chaotic now, and if you don't do it well, you will help others, so it's better to wait.

The family has money, so there is no need to sell pork, it is better to keep it for your own family. If you have more oil and water, you can also save some food. So everyone reached an agreement on this matter, and none of these food items will be taken out.

After dinner, everyone hurried to bed, there are too many things to do these days, and they have to be busy with a lot of things every day.

The next day was the tenth day of the lunar month, and early in the morning, the carriage covered with red and colorful colors stopped at the door of Sun's house, and it was Xiaoqin's son-in-law who came to greet him. Many of the children in the village went over to watch the excitement and crowded at the gate of Sun's house, looking inside curiously.

As soon as the hour came, Xiaoqin's brother came out of the house with Xiaoqin on his back, and then put Xiaoqin in the carriage. The groom got on his horse, and the group walked away from the door of Sun's house.

Marrying a girl is different from marrying a daughter-in-law, and the woman does not need to set up a banquet that day. Some of them set up a banquet when they returned to the door, and some of them set up wine in advance and waited for people who came to catch up with gifts and add makeup. The relatives on the woman's side just went to the man's side to have a banquet together. These relatives of the Sun family also sat in a carriage and followed the procession to welcome the relatives and walked towards the groom's house.

The team to welcome the relatives left, and the big guys saw that there was nothing lively to see, so they went home.

The children of the Han family didn't go over to watch the excitement at all, and Yunting didn't have to go to school anymore, so they were busy chopping firewood and washing potato flour at home. It turned out that Tianfu soaked the potatoes according to Yunxue's words, and finally really washed out the noodles. So they made a few more potatoes and soaked them, just in time for them to be washed. Finally, the washed noodles are packed in a muslin bag, and the water is controlled, and then it is frozen outside. Freeze-dry slowly, and when the time comes, it's ready to be stored.

Yun Xue and Yun Ni are seizing the time to do needlework, the New Year, I always have to make a new dress for everyone, I was not idle before, cotton jackets or something, all made outerwear, only the coat was not done. "Let's do it for Yun Ting and Tianfu first, and when Yun Zhen comes back, we'll do it for him." Now is the time to grow taller, Yun Zhen is not at home, let's stop being small. Yun Xue held scissors and a ruler in her hand, and cut out Yun Ting's clothes in a short time.

"Well, the two of us will make clothes when we have time, and we should be able to catch up." Yunni nodded.

The two sisters were making clothes at home, and they heard someone talking outside, and after a while, Tianfu came in from outside, "Eldest sister, second sister, it's the eldest brother who sent someone to give a New Year's gift." ”

"Hurry up and invite someone in." Yun Xue hurriedly cleaned up the kang.

A few people came in from outside, and it seemed that they were all the same people who had come to give gifts before. The steward at the head handed over a letter and a gift slip to Yun Ting. "Young Master Cousin is very good in the capital, but he misses his family very much. This time, let the inferior send some New Year's gifts, and the young master said that when he settles down the things in the capital next year, he will come back to see a few young ladies and young masters. ”

Yun Xue smiled, "Yun Lin has a heart." I bother you to go back and tell Yunlin, so that he can rest assured in the capital and don't have to worry about his home. We were at home and everything was fine. A few of you have worked hard all the way, so it's better to live in the cold house today and go back to the capital tomorrow. Yun Xue also knew that these were all Yun Lin's intentions, and if she didn't accept it, it would indeed be bad.

The steward waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to bother Miss, I'm still in a hurry to return to the capital, so I'll leave." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the people behind him to go out and move all the New Year's gifts outside. When all the things were moved into the house, the steward said goodbye to Yun Xue.

"There are no good things at home, here are a few single clothes and a few pairs of shoes that our sisters made for Yunlin when they are idle. Please help bring Yunlin, it can be regarded as a little bit of our sister's heart. "There really aren't any good things at home this year, so Yun Xue found some needlework and thread that she made for Yun Lin on weekdays, handed them over to the manager, and asked him to help bring them back.

The steward took the package, said yes, and left.

Yun Ting and Tianfu sent these people out, and they came back in a short time. "Big sister, they're gone."

Yun Xue took the gift list at this time and looked at it. On the gift list, it is still mainly food, a few rice, noodles, oil, chicken, duck and fish, etc., followed by some small things for everyone, and two sets of jewelry were also given to Yun Xue and Yun Ni. For the things sent by Yun Lin, Yun Xue only felt very heartwarming in her heart, and now at this time, what to send is not as real as sending food. "After all, it's my own brother, really, it's good." Yun Xue said with a smile. "Find a place to put everything, this is all Yunlin's heart, we can't mess with it."

So Yun Xue and Yun Ting Tianfu put everything away, all the meat was put in the warehouse outside, and the grain was received in the cellar. With these foods, there is no need to worry about this year's New Year.

"Eldest sister, how is the eldest brother in the capital? How do I think that my eldest brother has a lot of things to hide from us. Yunni said with some uneasiness.

"Yunlin is outside, it may not be as good as he said, but these are all things he has to face, and we can't help anything. As long as we know that he is still stable, it is enough. Yunlin said in the letter that when he is free next year, he will come back to see us, and then you will know how he is. Yun Xue held Yun Lin's letter in her hand, and the letter was the same as reporting good news and not bad news.

"Eldest sister, can't we go to the capital to find the eldest brother? Big brother is over there, maybe it's very dangerous, if we go over, we can help him. Yunni said a little anxiously.

"The eldest sister also wants to help Yunlin, but we are just a group of peasant babies, and when we arrive in the capital, I am afraid that we can't distinguish between east and west, north and south. The eldest sister has to be well prepared, so she can go to the capital to find Yunlin and help him. Yun Xue was also worried about Yun Lin in her heart. But she was afraid that the big guy would go to the capital, not to help Yunlin, but to cause chaos, so she didn't dare to bring it up at all.

"Then we must learn some skills, otherwise, we won't be able to help the eldest brother." Yun Ting interjected in a hundred years.

"Yes, we have to have the ability to protect ourselves before we can go to the capital to find Yunlin, otherwise wouldn't we be going to cause chaos?" Yun Xue nodded.

Several children looked at each other, and they all secretly decided that they must learn some skills well, so that they can help the eldest brother.

Yun Xue and Yun Ni continued to make clothes, and everyone began to work on their own again.

Time passed like this, the twelfth day of the lunar month was the day when the Zhang family Dacheng married his daughter-in-law, Yunxue soaked thirty catties of soybeans in the morning, and then took his younger brothers and sisters to Zhang's house to drink the wedding wine. On the thirteenth day, the Yunxue sisters and brothers changed shifts and grinded all the beans out. Then boil the soy milk, strain it, and order the tofu.
