Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 244 The New Year's Eve (5)
"Fushun, how is the Chinese New Year?"

"Ma'am, this year is the most prosperous year for our family. My mother is in better health and can get out of bed now. With the charcoal fire you gave, the house is not cold, and the food is also rich. There is also a gift for me." Reward, my mother said to save enough money for me to marry a daughter-in-law."

As Fu Shun said, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, his face was shy, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

He had taken a fancy to a girl before, because his family's conditions were too poor, he couldn't bear to let her go through the house and suffer, and he never thought of proposing marriage. Years ago, I asked someone I knew acquaintance to inquire about, and it turned out that the other party was very willing and said that he did not dislike his family. This was simply a huge surprise.

"That's a good thing. If you have a daughter-in-law at home, you can still take care of it. The benefits are great. I'll give you a big red envelope when you get married."

Mother joked a few words, and asked the family members to prepare all the New Year gifts for grandpa and grandma, and put them on the carriage one by one. The carriage was big at the beginning, but now it is useful.

Only the second sister Qing Qiang and Qing Li accompanied the mother Liu back to her natal home, and the father brought the elder brother Mo Zigui, the third brother Mo Zisong and Li Moxuan to visit friends in the town, and rest there for two days by the way, to start the new year The elder brother wants to be a scholar, and he has to walk around. Because the boy is too young, he is afraid that he will catch the cold along the way, so he let Grandma Cui take him with him. Mother plans to stay overnight at her mother's house today.

The main road was covered with snow, and the way out of the village was not easy. After sending his father and elder brother to the town, Fushun drove the carriage and continued on. Halfway through, Qingli would pour a bowl of hot tea for him to drink. To warm her body, she nestled in the carriage and covered her feet with a quilt, and she was not cold at all.

The carriage arrived at the village almost at noon, and there were quite a few people standing around watching. The last time my mother went to grandma's house, she took Fushun's ox cart, but now it was replaced by a horse cart. Getting to know Fushun is also worth a few words.

Mother Liu lifted up the curtain in front of the carriage, and said a few words to the village who greeted her with a smile. In the past, she didn't go back to her mother's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, because the road was difficult to walk in the snow. In previous years, she would bring her second sister Qing Qiang The two of them went out before dawn, and they couldn't get there until afternoon. They were very embarrassed, their trousers were covered with mud, and they didn't have anything to carry. They basically came to the door empty-handed. When they left, they would let Uncle Qingli drive the ox cart Sending, when getting things from her natal family, Qingli's aunt also liked to care about things in the past, and she would say a few sarcastic remarks from time to time. In the end, she was said a few times by her uncle, and she gradually improved a little. After all, the married daughter is still Relying on the support of my mother's family is unreasonable.

"Uncle, auntie!"

After getting off the carriage, Qingli was the first to run into the courtyard of her grandmother's house. My uncle was packing up the ox cart, and my aunt was helping, because my aunt was an orphan and had no natal family, so this kind of festival was celebrated at her in-law's house.

"Oh, I've been looking forward to it since early in the morning. My sister-in-law is still busy in the kitchen! I even bought her favorite bean paste buns for Li girl. I prepared them all year ago, and I'll wait for you to come on the second day of junior high school."

The little sister-in-law was very happy, stood up from the ground, clapped her hands, and shouted, "Father, sister-in-law is back!"

"Just come back, just come back!"

Grandpa and grandma also came out of the house, followed by Qingli's uncle, who immediately joked when he saw Qingli, "Our girl Li is a rare visitor!"

"Uncle, I wanted to come, but my mother won't take me!"

Qingli took her uncle's hand and said coquettishly, "Why don't you go to my house when we build a new house."

"Uncle must go and have a look!"

Qingli's uncle Liu Guangji is an old farmer, similar to his own uncle, he looks very simple and honest, he has been working all year round, his temples are covered with hoarfrost, and when he smiles, there are deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Cousin Qiang, Cousin Li!"

"Cousin Ginkgo!"

Ginkgo is my uncle's little girl. She is nine years old and one year older than Qingli. She is tall and looks like her uncle. She wears a new floral jacket and looks very agile. Temperament is about the same.

"Cousin Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time I wanted to go, the bullock cart couldn't fit, and my parents wouldn't take me."

As soon as Qingli came, she was dragged into the house by her little cousin Ginkgo. She kept talking non-stop, "Can you stay a few more days this time? This Maodong is too boring. The girls in the whole village either embroider or Playing nets, it's really boring!"

"Can you stay for a day, cousin, my house has a carriage, why don't you go back with me, how about staying at my house for a while?"

Gingko's forthright and lovable personality fit Qingli's taste very well, so she invited her. Anyway, her house has a lot of rooms, so I'm not afraid that I won't have a place to live.

"Really? I heard that your family built a new house. I went to live somewhere else. I went back and asked my mother. You don't know, it's really boring in the village."

Gingko took Qingli's hand and began to complain again, saying how boring every day was.Maodong in the village is not like this, and unlike modern times, there are various entertainment activities, and the women are all doing needlework, talking about the short things of the parents to pass the time.

"Cousin Li, why didn't my cousins ​​come?"

Liu Mu is Ginkgo’s elder brother, he is 11 years old this year, and he is also studying in the school in the village. My brother-in-law doesn’t ask him to be successful, he just needs to be able to read and write. In the future, he can keep accounts or something. But Liu Mu’s cousin is very competitive. like.

"My elder brother is going to be a scholar in the new year, and my father took them out to visit friends, cousin, or else you can stay at my house for two days just like cousin Ginkgo!"

Qingli just thinks that her home is not lively. She likes the situation where the family eats together every day. The family conditions were not good in the past. When she was very young, her mother often sent her to stay for a few months. , Grandpa, grandma and the two uncles were kind to them. Of course, this was the original owner's business. She didn't remember anything about it. She heard her second sister Qing Qiang talk about it.

"Really? Can I go?"

Liu Mu liked Mo Zigui very much, and was a little disappointed to see that he didn't come. He wanted to discuss a lot of knowledge with his cousin Zigui, and he liked playing with his cousin Zisong the most.

"Go, as long as my aunt agrees."

Qing Li was talking to a few people, and after a while, the door curtain was lifted, and the eldest cousin Liu Lin and second cousin Liu Sen also entered the room, followed by the eldest cousin carrying tea and cakes.

"Girl Li, you must be tired from the journey, come over and have some cakes, dinner is still a while away."

The eldest sister-in-law looks very gentle and speaks in a soft voice. Now that she is pregnant, her face is up to the sky, and her complexion looks okay.

"Big cousin, where is Pear Blossom?"

Lihua is the eldest cousin's little girl, she is only a little over two years old this year, and Qingli has never seen her before, so she also brought some small toys for her this time.

"In the morning, someone from my natal family came to take her to live there for a few days. I'm heavy now, and I can't take care of her."
