six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 240 Another Year

The days passed quickly, the days were short and the nights were long in winter, and on New Year's Eve when the snow was flying heavily, a carriage drove into Da'ao Village against the wind and snow, and headed towards Bei'aozi.

As the night deepened, Chen looked at the bowl of dumplings on the table and let out a long sigh.

"Mother, Eldest Sister is not here, shouldn't we also be at your knees?" Su Xiao hugged Chen's arm coquettishly, pouted and said: "Mother just prefers Eldest Sister."

"You! It's almost fourteen years old, and you still eat this kind of jealousy. Your eldest sister is running around for our family. Mother loves you." Chen touched her forehead and said angrily: "Don't forget, now The good life you have is all earned by your sister."

"Well, I feel sorry for Eldest Sister too." Su Xiao stuck out her tongue and winked at Chen Ye again.

"Mother, since the elder sister wrote to say that she would come back, she will return safely. I think it has been snowing heavily for the past two days, and she may have been delayed on the road. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow, you will see the elder sister give you a message." Happy New Year." Chen Ye comforted with a smile.

"I hope." Chen smiled reluctantly, and said: "You are still young, not as old as your mother, thinking in your heart that the whole family should be neat and tidy during the Chinese New Year, without your eldest sister, I feel Not like."

"Mother, you are not old. Who doesn't say that you are getting younger and younger as you live? You are like sisters with me. Didn't you see that my Uncle Cao would just smirk every time I saw you?" Su Xiao said with a smile. .

Chen's face turned red, and she gave her a look of annoyance, then pinched her pink face, and said, "You are the only one who is used to talking poorly."

Chen Ye smiled from the side as he watched the mother and daughter quarrel, with a warm smile on his lips all the time.

"Ma'am, ma'am." Ya'er yelled and ran quickly.

"Ya'er, what are you talking about? There are no rules." Chen Ye reprimanded lightly.

Ya'er flinched a little, looked at him in fear, and shrank aside nonnuo.

Chen Ye glared at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ya'er's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Madam, young master, it's the eldest girl, and the eldest girl is back."

"Really?" Chen Shi was overjoyed and stood up from the chair.

"Really, it's already at the door." Ya'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Quick, let's pick up your sister." Chen said happily.

Chen Ye and Su Xiao hurriedly held her hand and went out, only took two steps, Chen suddenly stopped, and said to several people: "I was injured earlier, no one is allowed to say at this time. Let your sister know, don't make her feel bad when it's Chinese New Year's Eve."

Su Xiao and Chen Ye looked at each other and agreed.

Su Liu looked at the familiar door, a little tiredness finally disappeared on his tired face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, but he felt like he was afraid to enter the door.

What does it mean to be timid when you are close to the hometown, that's it, but I have only been away for three months, and it feels like I have been away for three years.

After crossing the threshold, I saw Mrs. Chen and the others approaching. Su Liu burst into a bright smile and walked up quickly: "Mother, I'm back."

Chen stepped forward and grabbed her hand, her eyes were red, tears were streaming down, and she said with a smile: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Xueluo and the others followed behind, stepped forward and saluted the masters, Chen shi all smiled, and pulled Su Liu into the main house.

Sitting in the warm room, Su Liu let out a long breath. After all, it's better to stay at home.

Mrs. Chen pulled her and asked her how she was. Seeing that she had lost a whole circle, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she kept saying, "Why did you lose so much weight? How did Mrs. Cui and the others serve you? Look at this face." sharp."

"Mother, although it's extremely cold in Shangjing, the climate is still dry. I'm just not used to the water and soil there, and my appetite is poor, so I lost some weight, but my spirit is very good." Su Liu said helplessly. Shi said that if you lose the golden beans, you will lose your crying skills.

"That's right, mother, I see that my sister's energy is also very good. You should stop crying. My sister just came back and hurried back. I think it's a day and a night. You haven't even eaten a mouthful of this hot soup. You should cry first." I'm sorry, my sister is so sad." Su Xiao also persuaded.

"That's right, look at me, I'm happy to be patronizing, I'll go and heat up soup and rice for you." Mrs. Chen hurriedly stood up, and then said to Su Xiao: "You guys, go get a basin of hot water, let Your sister is tired, don't make trouble with her."

After Mrs. Chen went out, Xiao Su jumped in front of Su Liu, and took the opportunity to sue, "Sister, when you come back, mother will treat us like nothing."

"I haven't seen you in a few months, but your word of mouth has improved." Su Liu poked her forehead with her index finger and said angrily.

"Xiao Xiao, don't make a fuss, the elder sister just came back, it's time to get someone to fetch water for her to wash and wash." Chen Ye ordered like a little adult.

"Just know how to send me." Su Xiao made a grimace, and went out quickly.

There are servants at home, so they can do everything quickly. After freshening up, there is already a table of dishes on the table in the main room, as well as steaming dumplings.

"Quick, sit down." Chen Shi pulled Su Liu over and pressed her down.

"Mom, there are so many, how can I finish it?" Su Liu smiled wryly.

"It's good if you can't finish it. If you have leftovers, you will have more than every year." Chen said auspicious words with a smile.

"Then you can eat with me too."

"The reunion dinner is naturally for the whole family to eat." With a smile all over her face, Mrs. Chen said to Su Xiao and Chen Ye, "Sit down quickly."

Although they were already full, Chen Ye and the others sat down obediently. The family of four surrounded the table, talking and laughing, very happy.

"By the way, why are there more servants in the family?" Su Liu asked while biting the dumplings.

The smiling faces of Mrs. Chen and the others froze for a moment, and Su Xiao was even more hesitant to speak. Although Su Liu didn't see them directly, she didn't miss their expressions from the corner of her eyes.

After being silent for a while, Chen Ye still smiled and said, "It's nothing else. Sister Qianer, you went to Beijing, and the New Year is approaching, so there are some young people doing activities. We don't have a strong man in our family, so Uncle Cao can't worry about it." , I picked a few servants."

"That's right." Su Liu raised her eyebrows, and said oh, just when everyone thought she wouldn't ask any more, she suddenly asked again: "I'm not here these days, is there anything going on at home? Boss Is the house safe and sound? Did you come looking for trouble?"

Several people's hearts jumped, and they carefully looked at Su Liu's face, trying to see some clues from it. Seeing that her expression was as usual, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, just some sesame and mung beans, eat quickly, the weather is freezing, and the dumplings are going to be mushy." Chen blamingly changed the topic.

Su Liu looked at Mrs. Chen, seeing her panicked expression, she turned her eyes to look at Su Xiao: "Xiao Xiao?"

"Elder Sister, you just came back, and today is Chinese New Year, what's the matter, let's talk about it in two days?" Chen Ye rushed in front of Su Xiao.

"So, something is really hidden from me." Su Liu put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "You all know that you can hide it from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide it from the fifteenth day. Well, it saves me from having to ask them about iced tea again."

"I can't take it anymore." Su Xiao was the first to surrender. It was Su Liu's performance that seemed to see everything that made her feel too depressed.

"Little." Chen Shi was in a hurry, so she opened her mouth to stop it, but it was too late, because Su Xiao flipped the hair on her forehead.

"What's going on here?" Su Liu's face changed instantly, and it's not an exaggeration to express it with a storm in his eyes.

On Chen's forehead, there was a half-finger-long scar, the color was pink, and one could tell at a glance that it hadn't been long, that is to say, Chen was injured a while ago, and the injury was still on the forehead.

"Mother, sister will know sooner or later. It's not the same if you say it sooner or later." Su Xiao pouted, ignoring Chen's anxious face, and said quickly: "Sister, this is all a good thing that bastard did. ..."

Su Xiao blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah to su liu about su changsheng's coming to rob and hurt people from the beginning to the end.

After hearing what happened, Su Liu's expression was indescribable, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she said, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

Su Xiao trembled, and couldn't help leaning towards Chen Ye, and Chen Ye said: "I think that you are far away in Shangjing, elder sister, and you won't be able to make it for a while, and the doctor also said that it's no big deal if you take care of your mother." However, Uncle Cao is helping to sit in the town at home, so I didn’t write a letter.”

"I didn't let you say it, Liu'er, I just don't want you to worry." Mrs. Chen also hurriedly said.

Su Liu looked at their expression carefully looking at her, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Where is that person?"

"Huh! I don't know where he died? I didn't even find him, I guess he hid." Su Xiao snorted, thinking of this and getting angry, so many people couldn't find that beast.

Su Liu narrowed her eyes, hiding?

Looking at Su Liu who was sending out the air-conditioning like she didn't need money at this time, Chen Shi felt anxious and said uneasy: "Liu'er, I'm fine now, it's Chinese New Year today, let's not talk about those bad things Yes, ah!"

She pleaded, and the corner of Su Liu's mouth curled up: "Okay!"

Su Changsheng, he will never be able to hide!
Because it was already midnight when Su Liu came back, it was already midnight after washing and eating, that is, at midnight, the sound of crackling firecrackers was heard in the distance.

"It's Chinese New Year, let's go, let's set off the cannon too." Su Xiao's eyes sparkled, she pulled Chen Ye past her and ran out.

Chen Shi and Su Liu looked at each other, they both shook their heads and followed.

The long firecrackers have been hung on a bamboo pole, hanging at the gate, Su Xiao took the burning sandalwood handed over by his servant, eager to try it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ye had already snatched it, and quickly lit it, crackling, and the firecrackers ignited.

Su Xiao was so angry that she jumped up and ran after Chen Ye all over the yard. Her laughter mixed with the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the night sky.

With a loud bang, the firecrackers burned out, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

Su Liu looked at Su Xiao and Chen Ye who were chasing after each other. Their faces were illuminated by the candlelight, and she couldn't help showing a smile. She turned her eyes to an unknown distance.

Another year, Ning Guang, happy new year!
