Farmer's happy event

Chapter 111

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Jingren drove the carriage and took Yang and the four girls from his family to Yang's natal home.

This past time, it was naturally about the matter of Guzi's engagement.After carefully asking about the situation there, Mrs. Zheng and Lianzi's two aunts said that Wang Jirui was a bit older, but fortunately he was capable and reliable.

Since everyone agrees with this marriage, Lianzi doesn't say anything more.Seeing that the eldest sister was also satisfied, she thought to herself, after Gu Zi got married, if she had a bad life there, no matter what, she would not leave her alone.Even if she retreats, she must have a retreat.

On New Year's Eve, according to the old rules, the whole family celebrates the New Year with Shen's.

For some reason this year, Mrs. Li, who has always been stingy, brought a dish of bacon over, saying that it was for Mrs. Shen and Mr. Liu to eat during the Chinese New Year.

At the beginning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law separated after a big fight, but in Shen's heart, it didn't go away because she gave birth to a big blessing.Besides, Dafu has been eating and lodging with her these days, so he doesn't care about her mother-in-law.

The four girls in Erfang's family have grown up one by one, and they are about to marry one after another and leave the family.Getting together for the New Year is even less than a year.Therefore, the whole family also cherishes it very much.

Now Guzi has already tied her two girls into a bun, and tied them with a plain silver hairpin sent by Wang Jirui.In the gift, besides the plain silver hairpin, there was also a pair of gold hairpins, but Gu Zi thought it was too dazzling to wear, so he just chose a plain silver hairpin for use.

And looking at Li Shi, there is a gilt hairpin in her hair, especially when paired with her black and yellow face, it is indescribably rustic.

This hairpin was a gift from the Ning residence when Maizi was carried to his aunt.This year's New Year's ceremony has arrived early, but compared to previous years, it has been reduced a lot. Li's heart is full of complaints about Maizi, and this dead girl will not give more.

At this time, Maizi was standing in the spacious and gorgeous dining room of the Ning family.She is just an aunt, and she has no children, so where can she sit?
Seeing Mrs. Ning's family and Mrs. Erfang sitting together, talking and laughing happily, just waiting for the maids to arrange the dishes and invite them over.For these aunts standing on the ground, they wouldn't even take a look at them.

And these aunts just stood on the ground, waiting for the maids to arrange the dishes, and the ladies in the main room took their seats and served them to eat.

Maizi, that is, Aunt Liu, rubbed her flat stomach, raised her eyes and glared at the woman sitting on the seat who was wearing a dark red embroidered Baifu skirt, covered with a dark gray fur beanie, and was holding a copper hand stove. With a glance, he continued to look at his toes.

Since she gave birth, the second master of the Ning family visited her room less and less frequently.She used several methods, but the wife could always find various reasons to ask the master to leave.As a result, Aunt Liu hated the second wife even more.

Not long ago, the second master took another concubine, who was even more beautiful than Aunt Liu.She really felt that if she didn't work hard, the good life she just had for a few days would come to an end.

At this time in Liujiazhuang, the twilight is very close, and the New Year's Eve dinner is also on the table.

Now the life of the family is getting better and better. The second room Liu Jingren's family is well-off, and the third room has a lot of savings. Even the big family who still lives on two acres of land, since the daughter became an aunt, life has become much easier.

This New Year's Eve dinner is getting richer and more attentive every year.

Father Liu sat on the kang with his sons, and Mrs. Shen took his wife and children on the ground and sat around the table.

Father Liu used to have a bad temper, but later the two sons separated and went out alone, and nothing happened to him. The third son's family is very filial and worry-free. Over the past few years, his temper has changed. Quite a few, it's just that the temperament that was not very talkative before has become more and more silent now.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Shen and her three daughters-in-law made dumplings, while Sister Lianzi coaxed Dafu and Xuanxuan to play to keep them from falling asleep.

As soon as the midnight arrived, those who had no deceased relatives in the past three years set off firecrackers. Dafu and Xuanxuan, who had just been dozing off, immediately regained their energy and ran around in the yard, shouting Then also set off firecrackers.

Just last year, a senior member of Lianzi's family passed away, so this year we can't set off firecrackers, and we can't even post couplets.

"Okay, let's eat the dumplings. If you eat the dumplings, you will be one year older." Xing'er raised the curtain of the main room and shouted to the children in the yard.

Lianzi and Lizi hurriedly brought Xuanxuan and Dafu into the main room, and fed them half a bowl of dumplings each.

After eating dumplings and observing the New Year's Eve, Yang and Liu Jingren returned home with the four girls.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, one still has to wake up at dawn, eat dumplings, and kowtow to the elders of the family to pay New Year's greetings.

By the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the shops that were closed a year ago will open.

At the end of the year, Lianzi took advantage of the time to deliver goods in the town to take a closer look, and saw that there was no suitable storefront to transfer.

There are a few that need to be transferred, but the location is too remote, not suitable for dim sum shops.

In addition, Lianzi also took a fancy to several shops, one selling fabrics and the other selling jewelry.She went in and asked, but neither of the two had any intention of transferring it.In this way, we can only continue to pay attention, and if there is a suitable one, we will first order it.

The sixth day of the first lunar month is the big fair, the first one in the new year, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming. Therefore, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lianzi and Liu Jingren sent the gifts to shopkeeper Zhang.

As long as it is less than fifteen years old, it is a year.As a result, shopkeeper Zhang had to leave Lianzi and Liu Jingren to eat at home before leaving.The kindness was hard to turn down, so Liu Jingren had no choice but to agree.

It just so happened that Zhang Zihe was also in the shop that day.

He is now fourteen, but the bad habits that made Lianzi very unbearable but still endured for many years have not changed, and he is still wearing pink clothes.

"Happy Chinese New Year." Lianzi greeted him lukewarmly as usual.

But to Lianzi's surprise, this time Zhang Zihe was not like before, either turning his head and "humming", smirking and ignoring her, or directly making fun of her.

This time, he even glanced at Lianzi, without any expression on his face, let alone saying a word, and walked away.

"This child has a demonic barrier." Lianzi said, looking at his back.

At the dinner table, Shopkeeper Zhang raised his wine glass and said to Liu Jingren: "Brother Liu, it has been five years since we cooperated. These five years have not been easy." Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said with a very sigh look, and then said bluntly, "Come on, let's drink this cup!"

Liu Jingren also sighed: "Yes", then picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with shopkeeper Zhang, and drank the wine in the glass with his head up.

After drinking for three rounds, he talked more and more.

From time to time, Lianzi raised her head to glance at Zhang Zihe who was sitting across from her, and found that the child was extremely silent today, as if she hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end.

"I'm bewitched." Lianzi thought to herself.

"Brother Liu, we must continue to cooperate in the future." Shopkeeper Zhang said again.

Liu Jingren nodded, but he heard Lianzi say: "Uncle, I plan to open a dim sum shop, and I will use dried fruit at that time, but don't worry, we don't sell dried fruit in our shop, if anyone wants to buy it, I will introduce it to you. We will definitely continue to supply the goods that should be supplied to you here."

Shopkeeper Zhang was surprised when Lianzi said that he would open a shop in the town to sell dim sum, but after thinking about it, it made sense.Her dim sum is very good, but it is only available to "Fujulai", and shopkeeper Zhang often eats it.If one opened a shop specializing in dim sum, the business would be very prosperous in the future.

Thinking about this, Lianzi said again: "Uncle, I've been looking for a shop recently, but I haven't found a suitable one. You are more familiar with this than I am. If you find a suitable one, can you tell us?"

Shopkeeper Zhang thought for a while after hearing the words, there really isn't a suitable shop around here, but——

"I remember that there was a small restaurant on Xiaohutong Street. It was sold a few years ago. I don't know if I want to sell it now." Shopkeeper Zhang said.

"Where is Xiaohutong Street?" Lianzi asked.

Although she often comes to this town, the places she has been to are only the most prosperous streets in the town.Where is Xiao Hutong Street, I have never heard of it.

"It's not far, just walk two streets from here." Shopkeeper Zhang said, "Although it's not as lively as this side, it's not too bad.

"That's it," Lianzi lowered her head and said, then raised her head and said to shopkeeper Zhang, "Okay, let's take a look later, if they still want to sell it, they can sell it."

Shopkeeper Zhang also agreed, and let them eat vegetables again.

With something on my mind, I couldn't help feeling anxious while eating.

But during this interval, Zhang Zihe still changed his old habits, didn't say a word, just ate his meal with his head down, and went to the side to play by himself after eating.

After the meal, some waiters served hot tea, shopkeeper Zhang made them drink tea, and then let them go after listening to Lianzi talk about his vision for the dim sum shop in the future.

When he left, he also told them that if they needed help, just ask.

Liu Jingren thanked him, got into the carriage, took Lianzi with him, and drove the carriage towards the direction of the small alley street as told by shopkeeper Zhang.

After arriving at the place, I found that the small alley street is not very far from shopkeeper Zhang's shop, but only two streets away. Although it is a little remote, the environment is very quiet, and Lianzi likes it very much when he comes.

According to what the shopkeeper Zhang said, he found the small restaurant that he said wanted to transfer the shop.

It was already past the meal time, there was no one in the small restaurant, when Lianzi went in, a man who looked like a waiter came to greet her.

　First more.
