In the first month, every day is a good day. People who have been busy for a year can finally open up and have fun without having to remember to work. The women were also very happy, because they didn't use anything else every day except to cook a little food. During the New Year, you can't move needles and threads, you can't hold scissors, and even when you wash clothes, there are special days. In this way, the women have nothing to do when they are full, and they can only gossip about the streets and alleys.

In the past few days, several families who get along well with the Han family have called the children of the Han family to come over for dinner in shifts. Anyway, the New Year is a day of eating and drinking, even if the days are difficult, the New Year must have a New Year's appearance. Ordinary people are frugal on weekdays, but during the Chinese New Year, they will also set up a few tables of banquets for entertaining. So, Yun Xue led her younger brothers and sisters, this family had a meal, and that family had another meal, and before you knew it, time had passed.

Time flies, and it is the tenth day of the first month. On this day, Yunxue and the others finally did not go out, but stayed at home.

"Eldest sister, I'm going to Brother Jiang's house. The master accompanied his wife back to his parents' house and hasn't come back yet, I don't understand something, and I want to go to the Jiang family's brother for advice. Yun Ting took the book in his hand, said to Yun Xue, and was about to go out.

The elder brother of the Jiang family that Yun Ting said is naturally Jiang Chengtao. Since this kid was admitted to Xiucai, he went to the county school to study. I can come back once a month, and I can't see him on weekdays. This time it was the Chinese New Year, and he had time to come back after the school holiday.

Yun Ting still admires this Jiang Chengtao, so every time Jiang Chengtao comes back, Yun Ting will go over and ask for something. Jiang Chengtao treats Yunting very kindly, and sometimes, he will take back some homework from the county school and point out Yunting.

Yun Xue is naturally happy to see this. My younger brother knows that he is better than anything else. "Okay, let's go over, but don't stay there for too long, Cheng Tao will return to the county in a few days, leave some time for others to spend with his family." Yun Xue instructed two words, and then waved her hand to let Yun Ting go.

"Alas, Uncle Zhou, as soon as they leave, there is really no one with good knowledge to teach Yunting homework." Yun Xue couldn't help but sigh. Wu Fuzi in the village, it's okay to teach the children enlightenment, but if you want to learn deeper, you can't. Yun Ting studied well, and he also learned a lot of things from Zhou Wenhao's side before, but now that Wu Fuzi is teaching, it is a little not enough.

Some of the books Yun Lin sent last time, many of which Yun Ting has almost finished. Some of them are too profound for him to understand, so he can only take advantage of Jiang Chengtao's return.

"Why don't you send Yunting to the county to study?" Yun Ni mentioned it on the side.

"Don't say goodbye for the time being, this world is not stable, after all, he is young, it is better not to go that far." Yun Xue is a little uneasy, Yun Ting's own words, what should I do if I go out and be bullied again? The Han family is just a farmer, and when they go to the county seat, they can't compare with those sons and young masters of other people, and they will be bullied by others when the time comes. Yun Ting is young, and if his heart is not firm enough, he is easy to be led to bad learning. It is better to study in the village for the time being, and it is not too late to go to the county in two years.

"I heard Uncle Sun say that when his Zhengbai and Zhengyang first went to the county, they were quite honest. Later, he gradually became lavish and lavish, and the books were not good to read, so he became a restaurant in the world with others, which was better than this. Yun Ting is still young, and his heart is unstable, so it will be two more years. Yun Xue shook her head and said.

"Eldest sister, you're too worried, our Yunting is not the child who doesn't know the severity, it's okay." Yun Ni didn't think so. In her eyes, her younger brother is obedient and sensible, and he will not be like the children of the Sun family. "The two children in Uncle Sun's family, they are purely what Aunt Sun is used to, and we won't be so used to it."

Yun Xue shook her head and said nothing, this matter has to be considered carefully, and you can't make a decision on impulse. This is related to the future of Yunting, and we must be cautious.

The two sisters were talking about Yun Ting's studies in this room, while Dong Lao was telling Yun Zhen Tianfu about his past experiences outside in the West House. A few small ones listened attentively, looking at Dong Lao without blinking, with a look of adoration on their faces.

"Master is telling you this, not to show how capable Master is, but to make you remember some external rules. In the future, if you go out and wander, if you don't understand anything at all, won't you suffer at that time? After Dong Lao finished speaking, he made a summary.

"Understood, Master, we must be attentive." Yun Zhen nodded, and Tianfu and Yun Lei also agreed.

Suddenly, there was movement outside, "Yunxue, Yunzhen, are you at home?" It was Qian Mingyuan's voice.

Yun Zhen and the boys hurriedly ran out, and when they came outside, they saw Qian Mingyuan driving the carriage and stopping at the gate of the Han family. The boss of the Han family also came, and was lifting the curtain in front of the carriage and helping a woman down. This woman is in her forties, and she looks okay, not old.

Yun Xue and Yun Ni also heard the sound outside and came out of the house. As soon as Yun Xue saw the woman, she immediately shouted, "Auntie, why are you here?" What a great sin this great man has suffered. Hurry, hurry into the house, and you can't get tired along the way? The person who came was Qian Mingyuan's wife, Xu.

Xu smiled when he saw Yun Xue, "When I saw you that year, I felt that you didn't look like a male baby, after all, you were too slender." Later, your Uncle Qian said something about you, and I understood. Looking at it today, it's a big beauty. ”

"Auntie said with a smile, what kind of beauty am I, Jinxiu is much better looking than me." Yun Xue said busily.

At this time, Jinxiu also got out of the car, and Yunxue hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house.

Everyone came to the East House, Qian Mingyuan first took his family to greet Dong Lao, and then Yun Xue hurriedly asked the children to come forward to see Qian Mingyuan and Xu, and then everyone sat down to talk. Xu saw Yun Zhen at a glance, looked at it carefully, and then turned his head to look at his daughter, and couldn't help laughing.

This time Qian Mingyuan and they went home, and Jinxiu directly told her mother about Yunzhen. Xu loved this daughter very much, and originally wanted Jinxiu to marry in Andong City, so that the mother and daughter could meet often. For his daughter to fall in love with a peasant boy, Xu was not very happy at first. Later, it was Qian Mingyuan's continuous persuasion, and the Xu family slowly changed his attitude.

You must know that the Qian family is in Andong City, which is actually nothing. People in the city have no land, and they have to buy food, that is, Qian Mingyuan is more capable, so that the family can live a stable life. Qian Mingyuan said that in fact, it is not as good as the Han family, who lives in the village, has their own land, farms and raises pigs, and is self-sufficient, in fact, they live a more leisurely life.

Xu thought about it, too, the situation of their family, if they found a son-in-law for Jinxiu in Anton, it was really not too easy to find. Big families can't climb it, and small families have a hard time.

The men in Andong City, in addition to those big families, many of them are working as wooden handlers in Changbai Mountain. All year round, there is not much time to be at home, and everyone at home and outside the house is pointing to women to work.

The women of Anton City, in addition to serving the family at home, also have to wash other people's clothes to earn ordinary household income. When the husband is not around, no matter what happens at home, the woman has to carry it. Every night, the women are thinking about the men in the distance, wondering if they are well fed and clothed, and they miss home.

Every summer when the river is rolling, the women of Anton are waiting for the return of the men while washing clothes by the river. Some people waited for it, and everyone was happy. Those who didn't wait for their husbands walked into the river in despair, and were swept away by the ruthless river, staying with their husbands in the river.

Thinking of this, Xu felt that if his daughter married into the mountains, it would not be an unacceptable thing. Seeing that the Han family was able to come up with so many things in one go, the Xu family understood that his family did not have this ability. Don't look at these things from the ground, in the eyes of the Han family, it may not be nothing, but in the eyes of the people in their city, this is the same, but it costs a lot of money.

With Qian Mingyuan saying good things next to him, coupled with his daughter's appearance that he was not Yun Zhen and would not marry, the Xu family slowly changed his attitude. It happened that Qian Mingyuan was going back to Shanchangzi after the New Year, so Xu said, come and have a look. So, they brought the boss and Jinxiu to the Han family together.

Now when I look at the Han family, the neat courtyard, the children are clean and neat, and it makes people feel a lot more comfortable at a glance. Just glanced at it, and just the several stacks of firewood outside the door made Xu very satisfied. This is the case that a diligent person can accumulate so much firewood.

The young man in front of him, although he is said to be the same age as Jinxiu, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like he is seventeen or eighteen. Tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his appearance can be regarded as handsome and outstanding. Although it is slightly darker, it looks more robust, and at a glance, you can see that this is a hard-working and simple peasant boy, and he is a good hand at living.

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes. Now the Xu family is like this, the more I look at Yun Zhen, the more I think this child is good, and the more he looks at his daughter, the more he looks at it, the more he is compatible. The smile on Xu's face has not been broken since he entered the door.

Yunni went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea, and then came in with tea, "Uncle, aunt, Brother Qian, drink tea." ”

Xu took the tea and glanced at Yunni, "Yo, this girl is really handsome." Look at this little appearance, even those ladies in Anton City may not have this appearance. ”

Yun Ni's face turned red, and she hurriedly took the tea tray and went out.

Yun Xue looked at Xu's performance and knew that Yun Zhen's family affairs seemed to have a door, and she was very happy in her heart. "Uncle Qian, auntie, you sit down first. Yun Zhen, you should talk to your uncle and aunt. I'm going to get some food, and I'm going to be hungry all the way. With that, Yun Xue went to the kitchen to arrange food.
