Chapter 47: Selling and boasting to each other
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the grandmother of the Liu family and her two aunts came to the Qin family with their eldest granddaughter and eldest grandson, and Qin Shu, the second uncle of Qingou Village, his hometown, also brought his second aunt Jiang Yu and several children to the city.
The Qin family started to get busy early in the morning, and the New Year's fish that they were reluctant to eat, they went to the vegetable market early in the morning to queue up to buy the meat, and Liu Qin also took out the rice, planning to eat sweet potato rice at noon today.
Whether it's a big child or a small child, that's a joy that the family can have a good meal today.
Qin Xi, Qin Jiang and Qin He received the task of cleaning, tables, chairs, benches, doors and windows, and even the corners of the ground must be cleaned, this is Liu Qin's request, she wants to get back the face she lost yesterday, and strive to let the two sisters-in-law have nothing to be picky to talk about.
The work of cutting meat and slaughtering fish was assigned to Qin Shan, except for him, she was not at ease when others did this, Qin Xi They are young, as for her mother-in-law Li Chunhua, she is afraid that she will secretly hide meat to eat, she has a criminal record in this matter, and she has to guard against it.
As for the rest of the people, the side dishes were prepared, the fire was burned, and the hot water was always ready, and the only thermos in the house was filled with freshly boiled water early in the morning and the tea leaves were put in.
The first to come was not the Liu family, which was close, but the second uncle of the Qin family.
"Mother-in-law, eldest brother and sister-in-law, we have come to greet you for the New Year, Happy New Year!" As soon as Jiang Yu entered the door with the child in his arms, he greeted him and opened it.
Jiang Yu's heroic temperament, the man who cowered beside her, and the man who was hunched over was called a man who couldn't take it.
The two children who followed them were also very well-behaved, and as soon as they entered the door, they called for someone.
There is an early bus in Peach Blossom Town, which starts at half past six, and can get to the county seat at half past eight, and now it is nine o'clock.
Jiang Yu's neatness set off Qin Shu's cringe, Li Chunhua didn't want to see this broken son anymore, she hadn't seen her a few times all year round, and now that she saw her, she didn't know how to say hello, and she didn't know how to care about her, what was the use of raising this son! It didn't work at all.
Liu Qin, Qin Shan and Qin Shu's family sat together, and under the table was a hot coal stove, surrounded by a tablecloth, which could not only roast their hands, but also their legs and whirring warmly.
There are peanuts, melon seeds and dried sweet potatoes on the table, which are for guests, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin He They grabbed a handful, and the rest, no one has touched it, and they are not allowed to move.
"Eat quickly, there are no good things at home, just a little peanuts and melon seeds."
Liu Qin grabbed the peanuts and melon seeds on the plate as she spoke, and grabbed a handful for the two children and Jiang Yu, you pushed me to send them, and it took a while before the things were put in their pockets.
As for Qin Shu, Qin Shan is in charge, Liu Qin is generous to her mother's family, her mother-in-law's family picks the door, Qin Shu is a calculating person, can't the two get along!
"This little one is really strong, and he will definitely be a strong guy in the future."
The two of them are not familiar with each other, so there is really nothing to talk about, only to talk about children, there is nothing wrong with this, just praise each other's children.
"I see that your twins are also a lot more sensible, and they will help you work, your six children are about to grow up, and you are about to enjoy happiness!"
Jiang Yu is not familiar with several nephews and nieces, after all, she can't see her twice a year, so she can only boast about the fact that the child is older, which child is good at what, what is he doing now, she doesn't know anything about these things, so she simply doesn't say this, so as not to step on the thunder.
Seeing that the two women began to chat, Qin Shan handed Qin Shu a cigarette, which was much better than the dry tobacco he smoked at home.
Although he has already moved his hukou to the city, he is still worried about his homeland!
The local pronunciation is difficult to change, and the homeland is difficult to leave, these two sentences are not just words.
Qin Shan also plans to go back to his hometown to retire in the future! When the time comes, move your hukou back, build a house in your hometown, plant two plots of land, raise a few chickens, and feed a dog, that's called life!
As for Liu Qintong's disagreement with this matter, it is not within his scope of consideration, and now he is just thinking about this matter, and if he wants to put it into action, he will have to wait at least 20 years.
"This is Qin Xi? I see a big change, it's a big girl, this child is up to you, good-looking. ”
"Xiao Jiang too, his eyes are much smarter, and he will be fine in the future." Jiang Yue saw the two brothers and sisters who came in, and comforted Liu Qin.
Of course, Liu Qin doesn't appreciate it, these two disobedient rebels came in to embarrass her again, she hates people talking to her about Qin Jiang the most, she always feels that those people have bad intentions, and she can't tell how to laugh at her!
"Huh, yes"
The awkward atmosphere didn't last long, and Liu Qin's family came.
The first to come to the door was Liu Qin's sister-in-law, who was holding the eldest grandson of the old Liu family in her arms, raised her head and chest, and came in with her toes high.
Mother Liu is holding the seven-year-old granddaughter of the old Liu family, who is also Liu Qin's sister-in-law's family, the little girl looks around as soon as she enters the door, her eyes are dripping, she is too lively, and she is not very honest when she looks at it.
Liu Qin's second sister-in-law came alone, if it weren't for Liu Qin's sister-in-law who has always been good to their family, and her favorability towards this sister-in-law is quite high, she wouldn't have come.
After all, she and her husband both have low salaries, and the treatment is not bad, and the conditions at home are much better than those in this sister-in-law's family, and there is no shortage of this stutter.
"Mother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you are here!" Liu Qin turned around and saw someone coming, and exclaimed in surprise.
They can't come to the house twice a year, and every time they come, Liu Qin attaches great importance to it, for fear that they won't be entertained well and won't make them feel at home.
"Mother-in-law, you're here! Happy New Year! Although Li Chunhua was slandering in her heart, the smile on her face was brighter than anyone else.
are all fifty or sixty years old, and they all understand the sophistication of the world, and Liu's mother also smiled, greeted her, and held hands, as if the two had been friends for many years and how good the relationship was.
"Mother-in-law, you look pretty good! The body is very tough! ”
"Nothing, they're all old." Li Chunhua pretended to be modest and said.
But when I heard this, I was still very happy.
"Not old, not old at all, with your current complexion, who dares to believe that you are in your fifties, others must think that you are just in your early forties." Mother Liu didn't blink her eyes when she talked nonsense.
In the past year, she has heard her daughter talk about the difficulties of this old woman, and she longs for this old woman to fall in front of her immediately, so as not to block her daughter's life.
"What's the matter, you're the real good-looking."
Li Chunhua was praised a little uninterestingly, this in-law is not so annoying to look at!
