Knowing that Cheng Xue was following, she didn't want to wait a step.

It's just now that you don't want to get married, what are you doing!

If they had known that she was not married, they would not have sent the child to Tengfei Academy.It's so far away and so expensive. It costs a lot just to eat and live every month. This is not counting buying exam questions, the four treasures of the study, and teaching and learning.

Wang Sen was saying goodbye to Li Hui, when he saw his wife approaching angrily, he was stunned.Seeing this, Li Hui turned his head quickly. Seeing Cheng Xue walking slowly, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth and continued what he said just now.

Wang Sen, who was still listening carefully, was obviously absent-minded at the moment.Li Hui didn't babble too much, and ended hastily, watching the two carriages leave.

In the car, Wang Sen looked carefully at his wife and asked tentatively:

"What's the matter, did you use 'stay a few more years' to prevaricate you again?"

"Hehe..." Luo Shi sneered, and gave him a hard look——

"He didn't prevaricate this time, but just refused. If you don't want to get married, tell me earlier, and the children are all sent to Fucheng to study. After the year, three strokes are waiting to be handed in. This Yu family... is not shallow!"

Wang Sen swallowed his saliva, and wanted to remind him that it had nothing to do with others, but he didn't dare to say it, because if he said it, he would have to quarrel.For some reason, since he passed the Juren examination, he has been arguing frequently, and the quarrels have been turned upside down, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.

The two carriages turned a corner and walked away. Li Hui held Cheng Xue's shoulder and asked:

"What's the matter, she mentioned marriage again?"

Cheng Xue pressed her tongue against her cheeks and curled her lips fiercely.

"I made it clear. Since she wants to pretend to be ignorant, I can't prevaricate. I said that I don't want to get married with acquaintances. I guess I offended him this time. By the way, Wang Sen will not go to the capital to attend the meeting next year." Try, say wait."

Li Hui already knew the news and told him that the scientific examination might need to be reformed.As for whether to believe it or not, and whether to go or not, it's up to him. He can't be dragged by his side for the scientific examination, and no one can drag anyone for a lifetime.

After the blizzard a while ago, the weather has been good during this period.I think they won't go down again until the next year, and when they set off to Beijing, the weather will get warmer as they go, and they should be able to take off their thick cotton coats when they arrive in the capital.

After returning to the room, Cheng Xue found out the recently made clothes and took them to Mr. Pang to try on.They took care of everything the old man lived here, food, drink, clothing and housing, and took good care of him, for fear of neglect.

When Mr. Pang got dressed and came out, Cheng Xue stepped forward, straightened his collar naturally, looked him up and down, and said:
"It's not bad, the sleeves and the length of the clothes are enough. What do you think, what's uncomfortable?"

Hearing the words, Elder Pang stretched his arms, nodded and said:
"It's not uncomfortable, it's very exciting. You have a heart. Are you ready? You can let the big convoy pull away a batch of them years ago."

I received a letter from Xiao Qinglin two days ago, writing down the address of the house I rented for them, and sending a lot of things along the way.That's how he is, he thinks about everything here.While Cheng Xue and Li Hui were grateful, they did not forget to prepare things to send to Beijing.

They are all things that are available at home, such as rice, hazel mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. Although they don’t cost money, they are all grown in their own fields, and the heart is the most important thing.

Hearing this reminder from the old man, Cheng Xue nodded and went out.

She was planning to transport food from home to Beijing. Even though the cost of hiring a large convoy was not low, buying food in Beijing was enough to hire several convoys back and forth.If you can save, you can save. Cheng Xue can tell the difference...

……

The next day, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the new year.

In the morning, Jiang Jianye took eight hanging whips, placed two hanging whips in the four directions of east, west, north and south of the village, and then lit fire and set off cannons.

"Crackling..." is so lively, in the words of the older generation, it is scaring the evil god.The heavy snow in winter this year has made everyone miserable. This way is to blow away all the evil gods and plague gods, so that the coming year can be smooth and rainy.

There is no science at all, just a way to comfort my heart.

Throughout the morning, the sounds of whipping and kicking could be vaguely heard from nearby villages.This is Cheng Xue's third year here, and it is also the most impressive one.

This year's workshop's annual ceremony is more than twice as thick as last year's.

What to eat, use, wear...

The wages are the same as last year, and they are settled on the day. During this period, there is a holiday, and people are arranged to come over every day to take turns.

Li Zhong was in charge of speaking this year, and Cheng Xue stood aside the whole time without saying a word.Seeing how convinced everyone is of Li Zhong, they think that when they go to Beijing next year, the family will not have to worry about it.

"...That's all I want to talk about. After receiving the annual gift, we will officially rest. A few people will come to clean up on the fifth day of the new year, and start work on the sixth day."

After Li Zhong finished speaking, he jumped off the stool, walked to the New Year's Ceremony, and called everyone to line up to get their gifts.They all thought that Cheng Xue would say a few words, but they didn't expect that she didn't say a word this year.

Every year when the workshop gives out the annual gift, there will be many people around outside, and this year is no exception.When the onlookers looked at the things everyone carried out, it would be a lie to say that they were not envious, but it was useless to be envious. All the proud people were called to work in the workshop, and it was useless for the unsatisfied to recommend themselves.

Jiang Chang came over, holding a bright red cotton silk cloth and said:

"Boss, can you change the color?"

"What happened?"

"My mother-in-law just passed away, and she values ​​filial piety, so she can't wear gorgeous colors."

Cheng Xue casually picked up a piece of gray material and stuffed it to her, saying:

"I'll give you all of them, keep the red ones, I'll make bellybands for my kids when I have kids."

When "children" were mentioned, Chang's face flushed with embarrassment.Although it has been a whole year since they got married, there is really nothing to say about her relationship with Jiang Liqiang.After Jiang Qi's death, Jiang Jianye completely delegated power, as long as he had food, drink and clothing, he didn't have to worry about anything else.

The couple are really competitive. Not only do they not let him worry about it, but they also take good care of them. No one in the village will not envy them.

There was Jiang Jianye, Wei Laoji, and Dong Lisong. These three old men were the happiest and most comfortable in Wanghe Village.

Chang looked at the material in his hand, thanked him and put it away.It's not that she's greedy, it's that the red material is really good, and it's suitable for sewing bellybands and small clothes for children.

Jiang Jianye was chopping firewood in the yard just as he was returning home with the annual presents handed out in both hands.

Seeing the thing in her hand, she stood up with an "ouch", came over to take it and said:
"Why so much this year? Is this soybean oil too?"

"Yes father." Chang's head nodded, "Boss Li Zhong said that the business of the workshop is good this year, and all of us have contributed a lot, so I will give out some new year gifts. I will go to fry the meatballs first, father, don't chop firewood, wait until Daqiang comes back he does."

"It's fine, and I'm not tired. I'm used to it." Jiang Jianye said while helping to carry things into the house.

The fish is put directly in the basin, and the meat is cut into small uniform pieces by her, and put into the water tank under the eaves to freeze, and to be eaten slowly...
