Chapter 15: The Only Good Day in the First Half of the Year

Out of the fifteenth, this year is considered to have passed. After that, it was February.

As soon as the sting arrives, the spring breeze warms up, and the spring returns to the earth. Outside the village, in front of the house and behind the house, patches of new greenery and flowers are fragrant everywhere.

There is a poem: "I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors."

Another poem: "The late days are beautiful, the spring breeze flowers and plants are fragrant......"

From ancient times to the present, whether it is a literati or a common man, there is always a preference for spring in the four seasons.

Because spring is the season of hope.

After the sting, the villagers began to repair farm tools and trim the ridge ditches in preparation for the upcoming spring ploughing.

While sorting out the farm tools, the Jiang family was busy preparing bags for Jiang Wenyuan, who was about to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

Jiang Yuqing's baby is already eleven years old. Will shout father, mother, grandfather, grandma, and some simple overlapping words. I try to practice walking.

Her short legs were a little uncontrollable, and she wore a lot of clothes, and she walked staggeringly and stumbling like a stupid penguin.

Stupid penguins have a good temper. If you fall, you don't cry or make trouble, even if you fall on all fours, you still turn over, get up and continue walking, which is a very worry-free baby.

In her grandmother's words, "This child is here to repay the favor." ”

Two days before leaving, when there were only his parents in the house, Jiang Yuqing pretended to reach out and took out a bunch of cardboard boxes and bottles and cans from his clothes pocket.

These are medicines. In addition to the cool oil last time, there are also first-aid medicines such as Yunnan Baiyao and gauze for treating colds, colds and fevers, antidiarrheal, and even for trauma.

"Medicine, Daddy, no, sick." It's a good little body that hasn't developed well, and it's hard to speak.

In fact, Jiang Wenyuan and his wife both knew that their daughter's pocket was nothing.

But looking at the "miracle medicine" that appeared out of thin air, piled up like a hill on the bed. Although it was not the first time they had seen their daughter's skills, the couple still felt shocked.

Jiang Wenyuan touched the top of his daughter's soft little hair with a complicated face, and asked worriedly: "Good baby, are you uncomfortable with conjuring up so many things." If it's uncomfortable, don't change.

Daddy doesn't want you to hurt yourself for something change. Even without these, Daddy can still take care of himself. Don't worry about it, okay? ”

Jiang Yuqing's heart was warm, seeing these "babies", her parents' first reaction was not to be happy, but to worry about whether she would be hurt because of this.

Once again, she felt that it was so happy to have a father and mother's child. With such parents and relatives, she is willing to love her life for a lifetime.

"Medicine, much. Daddy, no, heart! "The master of this realm has it, Dad, you can use it with confidence.

As he spoke, he found a bunch of food to eat. Milk, bread, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice.

A variety of flavors and easy to carry beef jerky, hot sauces such as Lao Gan Ma.

There are even snacks like peanuts, melon seeds, and small biscuits. Eat it when you're in a hurry, it's convenient and delicious, as long as you change the packaging, who knows.

"Eat!" Looking at his baby daughter's innocent and soft little face, Jiang Wenyuan was both happy and worried.

The joy is that his daughter has such a great ability, and the worry is that he is afraid that he will not be able to protect such a capable daughter.

More than once, he swore in his heart that he would take the exam to gain fame and take a career in the future. When you become an official, you can better protect your daughter with power.

Jiang Yuqing prepared a few other sacs of spiritual spring water. Although this water cannot reach the realm of the flesh and bones of the living dead, it is still possible to strengthen the body.

In addition, there are several hundred-year-old ginseng, one of which is at least 500 years old, which can be called a treasure of heaven and earth.

It's hard currency, and you don't have the money to buy it.

The old Jiang family has been poor peasants for generations, and there is not too much silver. She took out this thing, which was to save the intention of letting Jiang Wenyuan take it for some use, but if it didn't work, she could sell it for emergency.

Anyway, there are a lot of these things in the spiritual realm, and if they don't have it, they will plant it again.

In addition to the things given by Jiang Yuqing, you should also bring some commonly used books and clothes.

Because there are so many things to prepare, it is really inconvenient to hire a carriage and horses. The Jiang family simply went to buy another carriage and a coachman by the way.

In this way, on the eighth day of the second lunar month, under the eager and worried eyes of the whole family, Jiang Wenyuan took the little servant Ah Ping and a coachman to embark on the road to Beijing to catch the exam.

The spring season begins on March 12.

Jiang Wenyuan traveled to the capital for about 20 days, and after arriving in the capital, he still needed more than 10 days to adapt to the local climate, water and soil, and the time was very tight.

After sending Jiang Wenyuan away, the Jiang family also began to get busy. After two spring rains, the fields were flooded, and the men began to plough the fields, either driving the oxen or pulling the ploughs themselves.

This year, dozens of acres of land have been added to the family, and although they have hired someone to plow the field, they have to take care of one or two, so the men are not idle.

In the midst of the busyness, it was February 24th.

February 25, which is tomorrow. It is said to be the only good day in the first half of this year.

It is advisable to sacrifice, to marry, to go to the beam, to move the grave, in short, everything is appropriate, and there are no taboos. Many families choose this day for their happy events.

Among the in-laws of the Jiang family, there are two families who want to have a happy event. One is the eldest daughter-in-law, Lin's maiden nephew, marrying a daughter-in-law. This is a serious in-law.

The other is Lao Hu's stepsister marrying a daughter. Because of past grievances, Lao Hu really didn't like this stepsister.

Originally, the two families had no contact for a long time, but since the third child was admitted to Xiucai, this stepsister was cheeky and continued to be a pro-family, and after Jiang Wenyuan was admitted to the lifting of people last year, this stepsister was more tightly attached.

The other one is an invitation that came in yesterday. The joy of the county seat Jiang Mansion and Qu Mansion.

The children of these two families died unexpectedly, which is really unlucky.

But when Jiang Wenyuan was admitted to the promotion, these two families prepared heavy gifts to congratulate, and this invitation had already entered the house, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't give face, which would offend people.

Therefore, after dinner, Lao Hu organized his son and daughter-in-law to have a family meeting to talk about tomorrow's arrangements.

"Tomorrow, Lin's family will marry their granddaughter-in-law, and the eldest and his wife will definitely go back.

A few days ago, I heard that my mother-in-law was suffering from the cold. I still have ginseng in my room, and you can take it back to make up for your mother-in-law. ”

Lin hurriedly refused, "Mother, I still have some money on me, just buy some supplements."

It's not necessary to participate, you and your father keep it for themselves! ”

Lin knew that ginseng.

It was sent by a member of the west of the city when the third child was raised last year, and the two elders have never been willing to use it.

Although she feels sorry for her mother-in-law, she also knows that no daughter-in-law can honor her mother-in-law with her mother-in-law's things.

Lao Hu glared at her: "Your father and I are in good health, we can eat and move, so we need this thing wherever we need it."

I think it's like a dried turnip.

My wife didn't know how to preserve it, so she pressed it at the bottom of the suitcase, worrying every day, for fear that one day the worm would be mothed. If you take it, I can save some snacks! ”

The Lin family has been married to the Jiang family for many years and knows the temperament of her mother-in-law. I'm afraid that if I continue to resign, my mother-in-law is afraid that she will be angry.

Besides, the two concubines are both atmospheric, and they don't care about these, so they happily agreed.

Lao Hu said to the Lu family again: "Tomorrow is the joy of Jiangfu and Qufu, people have posted posts, and it is easy for us to offend people if we don't go."

The third child is not at home, and there is no familiar man in our family, so he is afraid of losing face. Only you, the lady of the lifter, can support the scene.

But you can't take my good baby there, the child's soul is unstable and easy to collide, so I will take the good baby to Tan's house in Lotus Land. ”

Lao Hu only said that it was the Tan family, and did not mention the word "aunt" at all, which shows that she has no affection for her stepsister in her heart.

"Okay, mother, I know. I've made an appointment with my sister-in-law to go with me tomorrow. ”

"That's good, I'm relieved to have my sister-in-law here."

Lao Hu turned his head and said softly to Zhu: "Second family, tomorrow your eldest brother and sister-in-law will go back to their parents' house, and your brother and sister and I will also have to go out, and the family affairs will be hard for you." ”

Zhu said respectfully: "Mother, it's not hard, it should be." ”

Lao Hu clapped her hand: "Good boy, when you are done with this for a while, you can also go back to your mother's house, buy some delicious food and drink to see your uncle and aunt, and your mother will pay for you." ”

Zhu was instantly overjoyed: "Hey, thank you!" ”

Old Hu smiled and said, "Family, what's polite." ”

After finishing business, Lao Hu sent his family to rest. "Everyone, come with me......"

In the spring of the south, because of the amorous rain, there is always more than sunshine. It rained from last night until this morning.

After breakfast, Old Man Jiang took his second son to the field. The seven boys of the Jiang family still go out to school.

The largest Jiang Yujiang goes to the front, and in the middle is the small six and seven, and the second Jiang Yuhe hall is at the end. The same azure student uniform, Confucian scarf, and the same style of bookcase.

The young man with his head up and his chest up, full of vigor, is an extremely beautiful scenery wherever he goes, and often arouses the envy of others.

Jiang Wenkang and the Lin family returned to their parents' home, and the Lu family went to the county seat to meet their mother's sister-in-law, and then sent the old lady and the little niece to the Tan family in Lotus Land on the way.

The Tan family and the Jiang family are actually not close.

Lao Hu's mother died early, and her father later took another room. When the stepmother came, she brought a daughter with her.

This daughter has a sweet mouth and can speak well, and later coaxed her father to change her surname to Hu, which is Xiaohu's.

Xiao Hu is strong everywhere, and he wants to suppress the Hu brothers and sisters in everything with the help of his mother. Fortunately, the stepmother has not had children since she got married, so the life of the brother and sister is not too sad.

After a few years of stumbling and stumbling, when it was time for my brother to marry a wife, my stepmother withheld the family's money and refused to give the bride price.

At that time, Hu's father was still there, and he still cared about his only son. Seeing that the step-room was so unenlightened, he was so angry that he threatened to divorce her, so he took out the money to marry Hu's brother.

After marriage, the stepmother has also been relying on her mother-in-law's identity to rub her daughter-in-law.

It wasn't until the second year of my brother and sister-in-law's marriage that Hu's father died.

The brother and sister have long accumulated a stomach full of resentment. Therefore, as soon as Hu's elder brother waited for his father's coffin to be in the ground, he vigorously seized the housekeeping power and became the master of the house, and the life of the brother and sister was better.

The stepmother wanted to make trouble, but she didn't dare after thinking about it again and again.

You must know that in ancient times when the concept of clan was very strong, she was a steproom with an oil bottle and had never given birth to a child, and when she annoyed her stepson, she was swept out of the house in different ways, or she begged for help.

Her stepsister is a powerful person, and she knows that she has lost her backing, and her stepbrother and stepsister don't want to see their mother and daughter.

Before the old Hu family got married, he tried every means to hook up with the son of a small landlord surnamed Tan who had just died in a neighboring village.

With super means, he married one step ahead and married into the Tan family as a stepfamily.

Although Xiao Hu is a stepdaughter, she always has the surname Hu, how can there be a reason for her sister to marry one step ahead of her sister.

Therefore, the Hu clan scolded the mother and daughter for being shameless.

Later, Xiaohu married into the Tan family and gave birth to three sons and one daughter. And the old Hu family married into the Jiang family, and his life was hard, so when he returned to his parents' house, he was not less ridiculed by the Xiao Hu family.

It wasn't until Jiang Wenyuan was admitted to Xiucai that Xiao Hu accepted his contempt and cheekily brought gifts to the door.

The door-to-door is a guest, and it is not easy for the old Hu family to go out if he doesn't like it. It's just that it is not salty or light, and it is given a return gift according to custom.

This comes and goes, and I always have to walk around once or twice a year, and the intimacy is impossible to say in any way, and even ordinary Jiang clansmen can't compare, it's just a face-saving feeling.

This time it is the daughter of Xiaohu who is married.
