Aunt Xiao told Hai Zi's mother the story she had already arranged in her heart, and what she said was like the real thing, and some details were vivid, the purpose was to make Hai Zi's mother believe.

Haizi's mother listened very carefully, especially when it came to Haizi. But Hai Zi's mother didn't seem to doubt Aunt Xiao's words, and followed Aunt Xiao's words from time to time.

"You dead girl, you have the right idea, you have a lot of ghost ideas, I don't have to worry about Haizi to you. But why don't you ask someone to bring a letter, the family is worried about death.

But you say, since you left, why haven't those beards believed much? I haven't looked for it until now, which makes people suspicious. ”

Hai Zi's mother helped Aunt Xiao take off her coat, put the quilt on the kang again, and let Aunt Xiao sit on the quilt to rest.

The body is not good, she should be made softer, and the movements should not be too big, this Haizi mother still knows.

"When Haizi and I were leaving, we asked someone to bring a letter to Huzi, saying that we would join the gang when Haizi grew up. They can't find anyone, it's useless to go to my house, they can't get any oil and water, and I think they will die in two years. ”

Aunt Xiao explained a little nonsensically, and her face was not red or white. Haizi really admires Aunt Xiao's calmness, she is indeed a woman with a strategy, she can handle anything, but she is only twenty-four years old this year.

The mother saw that the children were busy, so she whispered to Aunt Xiao and asked her how she felt about the child in her belly now, and Aunt Xiao also lowered her voice and chatted with Haizi's mother.

"Third sister, if you asked me to give Monroe, I told her in person. Who knew that the beard robbed the person halfway, and released the person before he entered the mountain, and said that the settlement with the Yun family compound had already been completed, and the well water would not interfere with the river water from now on. ”

"Didn't I say it, I didn't do anything I asked them to do, so how can I have the face to go to my house to find trouble."

Aunt Xiao immediately signaled Hai Zi's mother not to say any more, but when she saw that she didn't know what Hai Zi's mother would ask again, she changed the topic.

"It's really fast, the kids have everything ready. Let's make dumplings together. ”

Hai Zi's mother was also a little skeptical, but it was not good to ask any further. I had to go on to say, "You're too tired, I'll wrap it up with the children, you have a good rest." ”

"If you don't do any work at home, you can wrap it up faster. Haizi, give some candy to your younger brother and sister, and eat some for the New Year, so that your mother can eat some too. Open a bag of trough cake and give it to everyone to taste, and it won't taste good if you keep it to dry. ”

Aunt Xiao washed her hands, her face was red, and she looked very happy. She knew that even if the first level was over, even if she had any questions, Hai Zi's mother would not ask any more in-depth, so she was relieved to enjoy the joy of getting together.

Aunt Xiao's emotions also immediately affected the whole family, and Haizi's mother was also happy at this time, busy mixing stuffing, rolling skin, and making dumplings.

Of course, the happiest was the three sheep, and he asked his brother to open the things he brought back to see which ones belonged to him, rummaging through the baggage and looking for them, and couldn't put down the new clothes and the colorful firecrackers that he bought him.

"Hurry up and try on all the clothes, I didn't dare to buy a small one, it's growing. One set for each person in the family, and they will all be changed for a while, is it the New Year?

Haizi, you go and disassemble those small firecrackers for Sanyang, let him go out and put a few first, and let's put them when we have more paper. ”

Aunt Xiao's excitement is still unabated, and she may also be a habitual child in the future. Haizi followed Aunt Xiao's instructions and did the same, and the whole family stopped making dumplings for the time being and was busy trying on clothes.

"Why do you spend so much money, and you're not an outsider. Haizi, you take the bag of noodles and millet you take back and move it to the lower room first, and keep your third aunt to eat during confinement.

Hurry up and clean up the Beikang too, burn more fires, and you and Sanyang will go to live in the Beikang tonight. ”

Haizi's mother instructed Haizi to send out the delicious food and keep it, so that she could wait for Aunt Xiao to eat when she was confined.

But her arrangement was immediately stopped by Aunt Xiao, and of course Haizi didn't do it immediately, because he knew that these things were prepared for the family.

"Sister, don't keep it for me, the whole family has to eat. I see that your life is also very difficult, so let's buy it again if you don't have enough food. ”

"Yes, there is food at home. Keep it for you, our mothers can survive no matter how they deal with it. ”

"What to deal with, Haizi can work to make money, and he has his share in these things."

"You can just take Haizi out, so I don't have to worry about it. I don't have to buy anything for the family, I can live any hard life with my children. ”

The conversation between her mother and Aunt Xiao seemed to touch the heart of her sister Erya, she looked at Aunt Xiao and then at her brother, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"My mother has suffered an old sin this year, and everyone is old. The little land at home was also taken to the Yun family's compound, and Sanyang and I gave his family a year's pigs, but didn't give anything, and said that my brother still owed his family money.

If it weren't for my uncle coming to see my mother before the New Year and getting something, how could I wrap dumplings in this New Year, and I didn't even have salt to eat. ”

Haizi was very angry after listening to what his sister said, he felt that Yun Erye had gone too far and should not have come to bully orphans and widows, Xiao Er's third aunt was even more angry after hearing this, and even subconsciously wanted to pull out a gun.

"This Yun family compound is too unreasonable, and the fault is not Hai Zi alone. If you force people to run away, forget it, and don't let the whole family go. Sister, we're not afraid of him, and we won't do anything for him next year.

If you don't have land, forget it, it's too tiring to farm, and your mother doesn't have a strong laborer, so if you don't plant, you won't plant. Next year, let Sanyang go to school, and you and Erya will serve the garden at home, raising some chickens, ducks, pigs, etc.

Haizi and I are diligent, run a few more trips to the mountain, and earn everything for you, Haizi and I came back this time to tell you about it.

Sister, you don't have to worry about it, and Erya don't mention it anymore. Today's New Year, say something happy.

You see, we're all patronizing and talking, and this dumpling hasn't been paid yet! Haizi, find a few big bucks to wash, let's pack a few more money, festive and festive! ”

"I've already wrapped two, and my mom and I made them before."

The younger sister Erya stopped crying and told Aunt Xiao about the copper coins that had been wrapped in the dumplings, but Aunt Xiao said that she had to wrap them again.

"A few more! Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and we have to eat this meat-filled dumpling. Take out the packs you packed before and freeze them first, and we'll eat them on the morning of the first day of the new year. Go find two more pieces of sugar, wrap two with sugar, and whoever eats it will talk sweet next year. ”

Aunt Xiao regained her excitement again, she knew that no matter how much she was wronged, she had to endure it now, and it was not time for revenge, so she quickly recovered from her anger.

At this time, Haizi took out the newly bought couplet and asked his mother: "I don't see that our family has posted couplets, can we go and post them now?" ”

"Okay, why not? When to post and when to celebrate, it's not yet time to send paper in the middle of the night. ”

Aunt Xiao hurriedly answered Haizi's question, and her mother also nodded in agreement. So Haizi led the three sheep and pasted the couplet on the gate.

After returning to the house, he pasted a New Year's picture of a big fat boy holding a big carp on the wall of the North Kang, which immediately added a lot of festive atmosphere to the house.
