Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 78

In the evening, Ding Xiang was quietly cooking dinner in the kitchen.Seeing that she was busy inside, Mrs. Hu didn't bother to go in to help, but just sat beside the brazier in the room and sighed.

Father Wei leaned on the bed and dozed off. Although his ears were not very good, he could hear his wife's sighs clearly. After all, in the same room, as long as he was not deaf, he could hear it.

He opened his eyes and muttered to Mrs. Hu, "His mother, the new year is approaching, and the family should be more festive. Why are you sighing all the time? Didn't Ding Xiang just spend money to get some new year's goods back, but she also wanted to do it for the good of the family. Live this year decently, don't be as shabby as in previous years, not to mention you can sell the excess to make some money, so don't be angry about this, if you let Dashan know, you will be unhappy. "

Hu gave the old man a sideways look, thinking what do you know, she wouldn't be angry about something about the New Year's goods, but she didn't want the old man to know the truth, so the old man asked her why she was angry with Lilac in the afternoon, and she only used the New Year's goods as an excuse.

Father Wei saw that his wife ignored him, and said again: "I don't know if Furong has thought about it. Our family must go and ask clearly during this year's pass, so that we can prepare money in advance. Then Dashan and Dingxiang will have to feel wronged. After all These silver coins were originally a wedding present from Mr. Nan to the two of them."

Hu's heart ached again when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything, he just said: "These things are for me and my two sons to worry about, you just take care of your body. Dashan is a kind-hearted child, and he married his elder brother Why would he be reluctant to spend money, not to mention that the family hasn't been separated yet, the money belongs to our big family."

Hu was too lazy to talk about this with Father Wei, she was worried that if she didn't keep her mouth shut, she might miss something.She came to the kitchen again and saw her eldest son squatting at the door washing vegetables, and Ding Xiang was cutting pickled radishes on the stove.But she was still worried, "Dahai, go to my room and talk to your father."

Wei Dahai looked up at his mother's tense face, stood up helplessly, and said "oh".

"Remember, don't say what you shouldn't, don't make your father follow suit!" Hu added to Wei Dahai's back.

"I know." Wei Dahai wiped his hands and left.

Mrs. Hu brought the washed vegetables in front of Ding Xiang, and said abruptly, "Where's the money for selling the New Year's goods this morning?"

The kitchen knife in Ding Xiang's hand paused for a moment, then put it down, she hurried to her room to take out the money, and handed it all to Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu counted and sighed: "It's only sold for [-] Wen, tomorrow you will sell all the rest of the New Year's goods!"

"Mom, I've sold everything that should be sold, and the rest is for my family to eat and use during the Chinese New Year. I also brought the cloth to Aunt Ju and Aunt Qing's house, and asked them to make new clothes for each of our family. Maybe he will come to measure us soon." Ding Xiang said as calmly as possible.

But Mrs. Hu got annoyed, "Ding Xiang, I know that if Aunt Ju and Aunt Qing are asked to help make clothes, you have to charge money. I heard that you were often praised for your good craftsmanship at your natal home. Why do you still spend money to ask others to make clothes?" ? How much money does the family have?"

Ding Xiang refrained from explaining, but she couldn't explain, she couldn't say that she didn't know this craft at all, she could only silently grab the corner of her clothes, and secretly persuaded herself to keep calm and not to conflict with her mother-in-law.

Seeing that Ding Xiang didn't speak, as if admitting his mistake, Mrs. Hu said, "Go and get the cloth back. You haven't had any serious problems these days, so just do it yourself. I'll do it with you when I have time."

"Mother, I..." Ding Xiang really didn't know what to do, she couldn't do what her mother-in-law said.

Hu went on to say: "Except for saving a few catties of candy as a gift, all the new year's goods are sold! I want to see the cash, and I want it urgently!"

"I can only sell half of the remaining ones, and keep the rest for myself and gifts for the New Year. There are only a few catties of sugar left, how will I live this year?"

"Why can't you pass it? It's good if you don't get hungry, and you still want to eat good food and spicy food? Didn't you often not have enough to eat in your mother's house? When you come to my house, you want to live a life like a rich family?"

Ding Xiang was so angry that she couldn't breathe evenly. Just as she was about to reply, Mrs. Hu said again: "Sell those beans too, they are worth two silver coins!"

"During the Chinese New Year, there are so many people buying tofu and bean sprouts, and people from far away villages rush to buy them. It's the time to make money by doing business. How can these beans be sold?"

Ding Xiang really couldn't figure it out, her mother-in-law usually treated her very well, and she was very reasonable in dealing with people, even though she was angry because of the four taels of silver, there was no need to be so unreasonable.

Hu said with a sullen face, "I'll sell it if I say so! Hurry up and sell the money to prepare it. I'll find a way to borrow some, and ask your natal family to borrow some. This time Mr. Nan will definitely give your sister a lot of money. Fu Rong As soon as you agree, you have to send the dowry over quickly, if you make trouble in it, then you are deliberately not expecting Hai Hai to get married, and not wishing my family well!"

Ding Xiang couldn't take it anymore, and didn't want to quarrel loudly with her mother-in-law, so she put down the spatula in her hand, wiped her hands and went back to her room.

Hu wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Wei Dahai who was walking over.

"Mom, please keep your voice down. Dad should be anxious again when he hears this. You too, Ding Xiang just borrowed four taels of silver from someone with a kind heart, and it's not like spending it recklessly. Why is it endless, mother?"

Seeing her eldest son helping Ding Xiang, Mrs. Hu shed tears of grievance, "Son, why are you so stupid? If you don't get married, it will be harder to find as you get older. Do you really want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Do you want to marry me?" Ruin your whole life, how can your father and I go to the ground with peace of mind?"

"Mother, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? I know what I am doing. I already have someone in my heart. If I can marry back, what do you and dad have to worry about?"

Hu's face showed joy, "Which family's girl, how about our wife and I coming to propose marriage in person tomorrow?"

Mrs. Hu looked at her son helplessly, and Wei Dahai said in a low voice: "She...she may not like me, I have already found someone to bring my thoughts to her in the future, if she doesn't hate me very much, we will go again It’s not too late, and it’s not too late.”

He came over to pick up the spatula to cook, but Hu didn't say anything, but he was happy in his heart. It turned out that he had misunderstood, and his son had someone he liked, and he asked someone to take a message. It seemed that his son was very interested in his marriage.

After dinner was ready, Ding Xiang didn't come out to eat, so Wei Dahai went to call her.Lilac didn't hesitate and came out.

Although Mrs. Hu was in a better mood now, she didn't have a good face and said, "Dashan hasn't come back yet, let's wait."

Looking at the time, Ding Xiang knew that Dashan must be left by her natal family for dinner, otherwise her family would not let Dashan come back so late for a night walk.

"Mother, it's getting late. Dashan must have dinner at my mother's house before coming back. It's cold and the food is getting cold. Let's eat quickly."

Now Mrs. Hu was not happy again, "What if Dashan didn't eat at your mother's house?"

"If he really didn't eat, I'll warm up the food for him and he will eat it. It's better than eating cold food for the whole family."

Mrs. Hu felt that Ding Xiang's words were reasonable, but she didn't want Ding Xiang to gain the upper hand, so she served some food to Father Wei, muttering as she walked, "It's reasonable not to wait for my man to eat!"

Ding Xiang had to get up and go back to her room. She didn't want to get angry so she came to eat, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to still be angry with her.

Wei Dahai went to call her again, "Sister and brother, hurry up and eat, or it will be really cold."

"I'll wait for Dashan to come back, you can eat first." Ding Xiang replied.

Just then, Dashan came back.

"Lilac! Mom! It's so late, why haven't you had dinner yet? I've already eaten." Da Shan yelled loudly when he saw the dishes on the table.

Wei Dahai came over and sat down to eat, "Dashan, mother and Dingxiang are having a quarrel, mainly because of the four taels of silver. You should find a way to reconcile the two of them. I am an uncle, and it is really difficult to get involved in this matter."

Da Shan was startled, thinking that his mother and Ding Xiang got along very well, so there shouldn't be any major conflicts.When he entered the room and asked Ding Xiang, he realized that he had underestimated this contradiction.

Ding Xiang told him everything, "Dashan, I understand that mother loves Yinzi, but she doesn't like anything about me now, and I don't know how to deal with it."

Da Shan got up suddenly, and Ding Xiang quickly grabbed him, "Don't blame your mother, otherwise I really won't be able to gain a foothold in your house."

"Ding Xiang, I gave the money to Aunt Zhong, if you want to blame me, please blame me." Dashan really loves Ding Xiang, and he feels very sad when he sees Ding Xiang being wronged.Ding Xiang is dedicated to this family, how can he let Ding Xiang be wronged?
But with Ding Xiang's reminder, he also knew that he couldn't blame his mother, he could only coax her and say something nice for Ding Xiang by the way.

He first went to the kitchen to prepare food for his mother, and brought it to his mother's room.Father Wei was eating, while Mrs. Hu was sitting by the brazier in a daze.

Dashan came over and asked with a smile while handing his mother the rice bowl: "Mother, why don't you eat? Are you waiting for me? I've already eaten at my father-in-law's house."

Seeing her son's smiling face, Mrs. Hu couldn't hold back her face anymore, and glared at her son, "You know how to love your mother, but your wife is not so good. She doesn't listen to me and makes her own decisions."

Because Mrs. Wei was there, Mrs. Hu didn't mention the four taels of silver, but said: "We have to save money for your brother to get married, but she spends a lot of money, she doesn't know how to live, and she refuses to listen to me." .”

Da Shan smiled and said: "Mother, I said before we got married that Ding Xiang is a person with ideas, so don't argue with her. She is dedicated to this family, and she doesn't care about us, so don't be angry. As for Brother and I need money to get married, just now I discussed with Ding Xiang and asked relatives and friends to borrow some money."

"Ask her natal family to borrow!"

"Okay, okay, ask her natal family to borrow it, you should hurry up and eat."

Only then was Hu satisfied, and Dashan went out.When she finished her meal and sent the bowl to the kitchen, Dashan followed and said that it was his decision to lend money to Aunt Zhong, and Ding Xiang didn't know it at the time.

Hu was displeased, "Dashan, Dingxiang said the same thing, but I don't believe it, and you can't lie to me just to protect her."

"Mother, I'm telling the truth. Ding Xiang was sleeping at that time, and I didn't have the heart to wake her up."

Dashan told his mother everything about that night, and Hu really believed it now, because she knew her son well. If it had been arranged, his tone would not be so sure, and his expression would not be so open.

"Even if I wronged her, she can't be frugal and ask someone to make clothes. She doesn't have long hands. If I do it myself with good intentions, I don't have to let her do it!"

Dashan hesitated for a moment, and soon thought of an answer, "I asked Ding Xiang to hire someone to do it, otherwise how would she know that Aunt Ju and Aunt Qing are good at craftsmanship? Ding Xiang wants to take advantage of these days to make more tofu to earn money. Lamp oil hurts your eyes, not to mention that she can't finish making these clothes before the New Year alone. Don't you look forward to having a grandson earlier, I don't want Ding Xiang to be too tired, and taking good care of your body is the most important thing, isn't your mother?"

Hu was eager to embrace his grandson, and suddenly felt that his son's words were reasonable, and thought that he was too much for Ding Xiang.

"Okay, okay, what you say is reasonable. She hasn't had dinner yet, so ask her to come and eat."

Da Shan went to call Ding Xiang happily, and Ding Xiang was so angry by her mother-in-law that she lost her appetite, but her mother-in-law said so, she had to come to eat if she didn't want to.

When she came to eat, Mrs. Hu didn't speak, and concentrated on cleaning the kitchen. Dashan coaxed his mother for a while, and Dingxiang for a while, and his mother finally said, "Your brother said that he has someone in mind, and he has already asked someone to talk about it in the future. If the woman has no intention , our family will definitely beg the Sun family to marry Furong to your brother again. As for the loan, you..."

Ding Xiang knew what her mother-in-law meant, didn't she just ask her to go back to her natal family to borrow money, Ding Xiang thought that it would be hard to say what happened next, so she responded first, "Mother, don't worry, I will take this matter to your heart."

Hu's heart finally got better, but after all, there was a quarrel just now, and he didn't know what to say to Ding Xiang for a while, so he went out.

Ding Xiang had dinner, went back to her room with Da Shan, and said, "Da Shan, what your brother means is to ask you to give your hairpin to my sister when you go to work at my mother's house in the future, and see what my sister means. I'll go with you sometime."

"Oh." Dashan suddenly realized, "I said, what did you mean by what my mother said just now? It turns out that the person I want to entrust is me."

"Then who else is there? We must convince my sister to agree, and then find a way to persuade my parents. Your brother has no intention of furong, and the twisted melon is not sweet."

Da Shan nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "It would be nice to have more kisses. Parents will figure it out. Also, Mother will inevitably be upset because of brother's affairs. After brother gets married, she won't be so easy to get angry. Don't worry about it because It’s sad, but it’s good to be happy every day.”

As Da Shan spoke, he brought melon seeds, peeled the shells, and fed them to Ding Xiang's mouth.

Ding Xiang pursed her lips and said, "If I hadn't thought of your kindness to me, I would have been so angry that I ran back to my mother's house."

Dashan said happily: "It's my blessing that you can think so, then I have to love you better, and my parents will love you more and more. Come on, let me rub your shoulders, you must be tired today .”

Ding Xiang ate the melon seeds peeled by Dashan in her mouth, rubbed her shoulders with Dashan, and sighed: "If you treat me like this all the time, it will be my blessing."

The next day is the new year, and the whole family got up early to worship the Stove Lord, hoping for a bumper harvest and prosperous fireworks in the coming year.

Because the New Year's goods are already ready, there is no need to go to the town to buy anything, but some people come to the house to buy New Year's goods.The money cloves for every item sold was handed over to her mother-in-law, and Hu smiled broadly, and stopped talking about selling all the new year's goods and beans.

Seeing that Ding Xiang was busy and working hard, Mrs. Hu said, "Ding Xiang, when Hai Hai gets married, we will divide into three families. You will get the money you earn, and I will not want you."

The mother-in-law is not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person. Ding Xiang doesn't want to be angry about what happened yesterday, and she will try not to touch her mother-in-law's bad luck in the future.

Ding Xiang nodded and said: "I understand, mother wants to save money for brother to get married, and you also hope that we will have a good life, so you won't deliberately embarrass me."

Mrs. Hu thought this was very pleasant, so she let go of what happened yesterday, and then sold new year's goods with Lilac.

No one came back in the afternoon, and the four gathered in the kitchen to prepare a small New Year's Eve dinner.Dashan and Dingxiang talked and laughed, and Hu talked about the poor and bitterness of the Chinese New Year in previous years, recalling the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness.

Only Wei Dahai didn't say much, he was always thinking about Haitang, what she was doing, whether she was dressed warmly, whether she had eaten something good to nourish her body, whether her stomach hurt, and whether she would occasionally think about herself.

Anyway, my mind is full of Begonia, and I am almost insane.

After a small reunion dinner in the evening, Dingxiang and Dashan took a hot bath to remove the dirt, and then leaned on the head of the bed and talked to each other.

"Ding Xiang, do you think it's hard work in your mother's house or life here? I really feel sorry to see you busy every day, but you refuse to rest in front of your mother. You won't blame me for being useless, promise Let you enjoy happiness but can't do it."

Ding Xiang thought for a while and said: "Although I have no free time every day, I feel more comfortable than staying at my mother's house, because you can talk to me and you can coax me."

"Really?" Da Shan stretched his arms a bit, and hugged Ding Xiang even tighter. "You are so kind, so easy to satisfy. Do you know that as long as I go home and see you, I am full of energy, want to treat you well, love you well, and even feel that you are everything to me. As long as you are good, I am everywhere Well, if you are unhappy, I will blame myself, and I will not feel comfortable anywhere."

Ding Xiang smiled, she knew it was Dashan's love for her, and Dashan really loved her, there is no doubt about it.She felt that she was also deeply in love with Dashan.

Two people who love each other live together, why not have a good time!She looked at Dashan, at his face, the face that made her like it and made her want to touch it.

She reached out to touch his cheek, and suddenly there was a heat flow under her body, and she blushed embarrassingly.It should be happiness to be accompanied by a man who can move his thoughts.

After the new year is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Ding Xiang takes some New Year's goods and goes to her mother's house with Dashan.

She told her mother-in-law to give some to her natal family, and then take some to Mengling Village to sell.Thinking of selling it for money, Mrs. Hu naturally agreed to her to go with Dashan.
