Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 54 New Year's Eve
Because Ye Xing was driving for the first time, she was afraid that she would drive the donkey too fast, so the not-so-distance drive from Fucheng to Yejia Village was not much faster than their usual walking.Fortunately, it was not dark when we arrived at the entrance of the village. A group of children who were playing wildly outside saw a donkey cart entering the village, so they ran towards Ye Xing.

"Get out of the way, wait until the donkey kicks you!" The donkey kicked on the spot uncomfortably. Ye Xing comforted the donkey while keeping the children away.

Some children were still very excited. It was rare for someone from Yejia Village to drive in. They followed the donkey cart all the way to Ye Xing's house.After the car stopped, they would secretly reach out their hands to touch the donkey's buttocks, touch it quickly and then retract their hands, and then a group of children laughed happily beside them.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang had been prepared for a long time. She thought that she had finally established a good relationship with the villagers, so she bought some candy and snacks in Fucheng, and planned to distribute some to the children in the village when they visited during the Chinese New Year. You can also play with them.Mrs. Wang took out a bag from the car, grabbed a handful of candies and distributed them to the children, and they ate the candies and ran home contentedly.

As soon as Ye Xing entered the door, she knew that the house had been cleaned in advance by the big girl and Mrs. Lin. There were three newly made clothes on the bed in their room. Although the color of the fabric was plain, it was soft and comfortable to the touch, and the stitches were dense and strong. It can be seen that the people who make the clothes are very attentive.There was also a piece of paper next to the clothes, on which were written crookedly the words "Made by my mother". Ye Xing could even imagine the big girl clumsily writing on the paper with charcoal.

Mrs. Wang put down her burden and tidied up her things, while Ye Xing went to look at the two newly built houses.Dazhu is an excellent executor. Every part of the new house was built according to her requirements at that time. Now there is already a house full of ice bricks.There are a few boxes of ice cubes in the middle of the room, those ice cubes are obviously much cleaner than the ones on the side, this is the ice cubes that Ye Xing specially asked Dazhu to make with Liangbaicai, so that these can be directly used in the food.

Originally, Dazhu thought it would be too troublesome to boil water with so much firewood and then freeze it into ice cubes, but Ye Xing told him that the raw water in the river was very dirty, full of fish feces, and even people and cows bathed in it.Dazhu didn't pay attention to this at first, but when Ye Xing said it, he felt that he saw a dirty person taking a bath in the river, and his stomach couldn't help but churn.Fortunately, it is winter now to boil water for drinking, otherwise he would have to spit it out on the spot.Since then, in addition to making ice, Dazhu also made it mandatory to drink boiled water at home.

On New Year's Eve, Ye Xing originally wanted to post some Spring Festival couplets at home. After all, there are few people in the family, so it can make the home look more lively.But Wang reminded her that her father, Ye Ping, had only been dead for a year, and the house could only have white stickers, which made Ye Xing feel very disappointed.

According to Ye Pan's previous memories, Ye Ping was not very kind to Wang and Ye Pannan before, but after having Ye Tao, it became even worse, and even attacked Wang after Ye An's instigation.To put it bluntly, it would be better for Ye Ping to die. If he hadn't died, even Ye Xing would have been difficult to separate the family, let alone the three of them, mother and daughter, living so freely now.

Thinking about it, Ye Xing didn't say anything. If others listened to it, she might be scolded. She didn't want to bear the reputation of being unfilial.Wang could see that Ye Xing's interest was not as high as before, so she cooked some of her specialty dishes to reward Ye Xing who had been tired for so many months.

Now that the family is rich, the meat dishes on the table are really oily, and Ye Tao's small mouth is covered with oil.Not only could the three of their mothers not be able to eat a good meal during Chinese New Year, they couldn't even serve it on the table.In order to secretly leave a stutter for the two children, Mrs. Wang had to let them eat behind the stove, for fear of being seen and beaten by those people.

Seeing Ye Tao's satisfied look, Ye Xing was in a good mood too, she no longer struggled with the white couplets at the door of the house and Ye Ping's memorial tablet in front of the hall.It was time to watch the New Year after dinner, Ye Xing felt that the main room was too cold, so she took Wang Shi and Ye Tao back to the room.Smoke the cage a bit, and then cover her and Wang's coats, leaning on it is not too comfortable!

"This is so comfortable, how can you feel cold if you lean on the side?" Wang Shi breathed out warmly from the temperature of the smoked cage, and Ye Tao was also fascinated by the contented eyes.

Ye Xing came in with three bowls of pear soup and said, "But you have to turn it off when you sleep, otherwise it will be a disaster if it is overturned. Come, let's drink a bowl of pear soup each to reduce the anger and avoid getting angry."

Ye Xing and Wang Shi were drinking pear soup while chatting about the operation of the store for the new year. Ye Tao was still lying in the middle and turning her head back and forth to listen to it. If you slow down, you won't move.Wang Shi and Ye Xing looked at each other and smiled, both lowered their voices, Wang Shi took off Ye Tao's clothes and gently put her under the bed.

When the two of them were about to feel sleepy, crackling firecrackers started to sound in the village, Ye Xing gave a jolt, and she knew that the New Year was coming.Mrs. Wang also woke up. Both of them took off their coats from the smoker cages and put them on. Although the charcoal fire in the smoker cages was about to go out, the coats were still warm, and they wore them against the cold in the early morning of winter.

Ye Xing took out the firecrackers she bought on purpose. She deliberately didn't buy a big one, which would easily look like a nouveau riche, and was too small for fear of making people feel shabby, so she finally chose such a medium-sized one.

When Ye Xing and Mrs. Wang finished setting off the firecrackers, Mrs. Chen also came out to set off the firecrackers, and she immediately greeted them both warmly: "Happy New Year! The firecrackers in your house are so loud that I woke up right away. "

"Happy New Year, Aunt Chen." Ye Xing knew that Chen was just a bad-mouthed person and not a bad person, so she also paid New Year's greetings to her, "That's because my house is close, and there are bigger firecrackers in other houses. I guess it will take a while." can not fall asleep."

"Hey, isn't that right! The family at the village head heard that they made a lot of money this year and specially bought a big firecracker, saying that they want to show us." Even in the early morning, as long as there is a topic, it can immediately arouse Chen's enthusiasm. Gossip Yu, "I think everyone will play it now, and they must wait until no one will play it later, otherwise it would be a waste if no one hears it."

"Oh, what are you talking about, put it away and go back to sleep, it's not cold, you!" Ye Shuigen, the head of the Chen family, was rubbing his hands from the cold in the back, he really didn't understand why the Chen family had so much gossip every day.Perhaps because he was afraid of being misunderstood by his bad tone, he immediately smiled at Ye Xing and Wang Shi: "Big sister, Xiao Xing, uncle is not talking about you, you go back to sleep quickly, don't freeze."

Ye Shuigen's words saved Ye Xing and Wang's. They were thinking about how to interrupt Chen's words, so they hurriedly nodded to their husband and wife and ran back to put out the smoker and oil lamp to sleep.
