Chapter 39 New Year's Goods
Before the end of the year, the family cleaned up the house and began to prepare for the New Year.
Wang Cuilan was dressed in new clothes, clean and crisp, picked up a basket, took her three daughters-in-law, and ran to the town in a rickeping ox cart.
This year, Lao Siyuanbei and his youngest daughter Lin Lili did not come back for the New Year, and they were very busy with work and couldn't leave, so Wang Cuilan decided to go to see it first and then buy New Year's goods.
When I arrived at the place, I saw the youngest son and the youngest daughter standing on the side of the road and waiting, it was cold, she was distressed to meet it, stuffed money for the two of them, and chattered about the cold and asked for warmth for a while, and the family went to buy New Year's goods together.
"Third sister-in-law." Lin Lili was gentle and generous, and handed the gift prepared in advance to Zhou Zhaodi: "This is a gift for my little niece, it's not very valuable, don't mind." ”
Zhou Zhaodi was about to shirk it, but found that it was two children's clothes bought in the town that fit her daughter's clothes, she accepted it with a cheeky hand, and said with a smile, "No, no, this dress is so beautiful, I must like it if I want to be Rong, thank you for wanting to accommodate her aunt." ”
"If you like it, you can do it." Lin Lili smiled, a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth was very beautiful, she took the time to accompany a few people to buy New Year's goods, and chatted with Wang Cuilan for a while, and talked to Lao Siyuan Beidou from time to time.
"Lili." Wang Cuilan patted Lin Lili's hand: "You are young, you have a decent job, you don't have to worry about getting married, don't mix with those who don't care, ah." ”
Thinking of the second brother of the Liu family, who was not a good brother, wanted to hook up with his daughter who was raised with hard work and sent to work in the town, Wang Cuilan tore his heart.
"Mom." Lin Lili's expression was twisted, a flush flew out of her cheeks, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was hiding something, she quickly adjusted her emotions: "Don't worry, I don't have the heart to get married now, I'm talking when it stabilizes." ”
"Done." Wang Cuilan said a few more words, and when she saw that Lin Lili seemed to have listened, she stopped talking.
"Get some pork." Fang Hongying handed over a meat ticket.
A meat ticket can be exchanged for a lot of meat, enough for a family to eat 2 meals, but the New Year will be lively for at least a few days, it is better to take advantage of this time to get more at home, so as to replenish the body of the two sons.
So he handed over two more meat tickets, cut a large piece of meat, and scraped off a little minced meat from the board before leaving.
The corners of the boss's mouth twitched, he had never seen even the minced meat on the board scraped away, this must be a small advantage.
Zhou Zhaodi quickly bought the things to be used for the New Year, and spent the tickets and money in her hand before going back with a big bag full of things.
As for Zhang Miao, she has been lazy, and she only bought it when she went back soon, and she looked very tired when she got in the car.
Wang Cuilan suddenly remembered that it was almost the New Year, why hadn't Zhang Miao's family's money been returned yet?
"Second daughter-in-law, it's almost the New Year, when will your mother's family return the money?"
Where to buy New Year's goods today, tomorrow you have to come to a trip, count the rest of the money in your hand, enough is enough, but not loose, if you get the money lent back, this year is better.
Zhang Miao's expression froze: "Mom, I'll go back and ask, don't worry." ”
She went to urge it a few days ago, but her mother's family said that she couldn't take it out in the past few days, but Zhang Miao saw it a few days ago, and her mother's car didn't pull people to go to the town to buy New Year's goods, and the family also bought Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers this year.
But Zhang Miao can't say that to Wang Cuilan.
"Done." Wang Cuilan nodded, and said, "In the past few days, I have to return it." ”
"Hey." Zhang Miao was in trouble for a while.
The other two were silent, both thinking about their mother's affairs.
Fang Hongying's house is still not built, and when I met several times on the road, I said that I had no money to build a house and no land to live in.
She was anxious, and gave a lot of private money for a large house, leaving only her two sons' school money untouchable, but even this was still not enough, and a bunch of things asking for money were pressing, which made Fang Hongying a little breathless.
Several times I wanted to borrow money, but Wang Cuilan avoided it without leaving a trace, obviously, Wang Cuilan didn't want to borrow any more.
And Zhou Zhaodi thought that when she went back to her parents' house on the second day of the first lunar month, she couldn't send something empty-handed, although she didn't really want to go back, but she had to do it on face, otherwise with Chen's character, everyone would definitely know how ugly it would be to be scolded on the street.
With each having their own thoughts, the ox cart soon arrived at Xingjia Village, and several people returned home with large bags on their backs.
A couple of men who had gone to the mountains also came back in groups.
"There is a lot of snow on the mountain, not to mention a hare, not even a pheasant can be seen, go inside and don't meet the black blind again, it will be really fatal." Lin Yuandong snorted, holding a string of fish caught by smashing through the frozen river.
"I don't have much to make a living this year." Lin Dawei chewed tobacco and wrapped himself in a heavy military coat: "It seems that I can only sell some handicrafts, and when the snow melts in spring, I will go to the town to set up a stall and try to make some money." ”
"So what are we selling?" Lin Yuanxi asked: "You can't sell rags, but I heard that some people used to sell food and made a lot of money." ”
"Food?" Zhang Miao pursed his lips and replied: "Who has food to take out these days." ”
"Okay, what about the beginning of spring, don't talk about it." Lin Dawei saw that a few people were about to quarrel again, so he hurriedly stopped, turned his head and saw that Lin Yuannan was silent, and asked, "Yuannan, have you paid any attention?" ”
Lin Yuannan raised his head, his eyes crossed over the two elder brothers, and he smiled: "Hey, I don't have any big ideas, I just think that when the snow melts, I will go to the town to find some work." ”
In fact, he wants to do business more.
Handicrafts do sell for money, but not very much, and he wants to open a small shop to do some handicraft work, or make wooden cabinets for people or something.
He learned a hand from a master in the early years, and now he hasn't forgotten it, if he can practice his hands and make a few decent ones, he may not be able to support his family in the future.
"Aba..."
Lin Xiangrong staggered over, took a small sip of the milk paste he bought, and tried to say a few words, but his mouth was slurred.
However, she felt that she should be able to speak in a few months, so she was not in much of a hurry.
"Girl, look here." Zhou Zhaodi shook the new clothes in front of Lin Xiangrong: "This is what my sister-in-law bought for you, do you like it?" ”
[Sister-in-law? 】
[Is it the sister-in-law who was deceived and had a child out of wedlock? 】
[Wow, the clothes are good, such a good sister-in-law, how was she deceived into having a child out of wedlock, and finally she was pointed out to resign and do odd jobs in the town to support herself and her children]
The new clothes in front of her were extremely bright, the most beautiful clothes she had ever seen since she came here, and at first glance, her sister-in-law had chosen them with her heart.
Lin Xiangrong reached out and grabbed the new clothes, not noticing the sudden change in the expressions of the few people in the room, staring at the clothes with big eyes and thinking twice.
[According to the time, my sister-in-law is about to meet that man, right? 】
