The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 29 New Year
  By the time we arrived at Grandpa's house, it was already two quarters of an hour later. As soon as he walked into the yard, Zhao Yang, who was playing with Niuniu in his arms, saw the third grandfather and his family coming home.

He quickly stepped forward to say hello, and then shouted into the room.

Old Zhaotou said: "Stop shouting, I will go in by myself."

After entering the house, the children of the two families came up to greet each other and the grandchildren each received another red envelope.

Looking at Xiao Niuniu and Xiao Shitou, Zhao Yunxi took out two copper plates from his purse, then took two red envelopes and put them in.

"Niuniu, Xiao Shitou, call me aunt, and I will give you lucky money."

Although the two children looked at the red envelope and didn't understand what it meant, it didn't stop them from cheering sweetly.

The two soft children shouted at Zhao Yunxi. "Happy New Year to my little aunt. My little aunt is in good health."

The elders on the kang looked at the harmonious younger generations in the room, and even their wrinkles looked happy.
  On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Zhaotou took his children and grandchildren up the mountain to worship their ancestors.

Because Zhao Youliang was not able to make a living, not only could he not go to worship, but he could only go to his father-in-law's house without a plan.

In the east wing.

"Your grandparents will be extremely happy when they see you this year. You loved pears when you were a child. Your grandfather knew about it, so he and your uncle planted many pear trees."

When Yang talked about this, the smile on his face was extremely bright. Recalling the memory of the original owner, Zhao Yunxi really envied her.

It is a pity but also a blessing that she now has this happiness, so she will also honor her grandfather and grandmother for the original owner.

"I can't go this year. Just tell your parents that I will go visit them when spring comes."

"I understand. Your peace of mind and good health are more important than anything else."

An hour later, the man who went up the mountain to worship came back.

Yang took her things and pulled Zhao Yunxi out of the house. After saying hello to her two elders, she rushed to her parents' house with her three children.

The ox cart at home is not good for anyone to use, so everyone goes to the village entrance or to the market to ride the ox cart.

Yang was lucky enough to get on the bullock cart at the entrance of the village.

On snowy roads, even bullock carts have to slow down. After wandering on the road for an hour and a half, Zhao Yunxi finally saw the road sign for Yangjiabao.

Zhao Yunxi took a long breath, it was finally time, and rubbed his cheeks that were sore from the cold wind.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two brothers carried their things and got off the ox cart.

Yang looked at her children's cheeks that were red from the cold and said, "If I had known, I would have kept you at home and not come. Your eldest brother is about to take an exam. What should you do if you catch a cold?"

"Mom, I'm wearing a cotton coat. It'll be warm when I get home."

Zhao Zhaoyunqin saw his mother and sister stomping their feet from the cold, and then said: "Mom, let's go quickly! Grandpa and the others must have been looking forward to it for a long time."

When Yang heard this, she turned around and took her daughter's hand and walked home.

After walking along the mountain road for two-quarters of an hour, Mr. Yang stood in front of a semi-new green brick courtyard.

Zhao Yunxi, who came here for the first time, nodded secretly: The conditions of my grandfather’s family are good!

Yang was about to enter the courtyard when she saw a tall man coming out. Wearing a fur hat, his face was covered tightly and only two eyeballs could be seen rolling.

"Brother, where are you going?"

The man smiled in surprise and said: "Where can we go? My parents saw that you haven't arrived yet, so you asked me to go to the entrance of the village to have a look?" The man looked around and asked: "This is Yunzheng Yunqin and Xiaojiu! Why are they missing? Is there food?”

"Hello, uncle."

Yang explained as he walked in: "Youliang accidentally injured his leg before, but he hasn't recovered yet, so he didn't let him come."

"Why are you so careless? Are you seriously injured? You didn't say you would send a message home. We don't know, and we didn't even come to see you."

Listening to his uncle's slightly complaining words, Zhao Yunzheng hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. My dad has almost recovered. I didn't care about it before. But later, my dad got better, so I was afraid that I would send a message to you to worry about it. So I didn't Let's go back home. My dad said he will come over to see you in the spring." "It's okay if you don't see it, we are all fine. Let your dad take care of himself and take care of himself. If he is well, we will be relieved."

When they got to the corridor, Ms. Yang helped her daughter take pictures of the snowflakes and stamped the snow off her shoes.

The two elders of the Yang family, who were listening to the voices in the room, walked to the door and saw their little girl coming back.

"Why, you've been gone for so long?"

Several people who heard the voice turned around, and what caught Zhao Yunxi's eyes were two kind and kind old people with smiles on their faces.

"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad. The snow is too thick on the road and the oxcart moves slowly."

The three siblings immediately shouted, "Happy New Year to Grandpa and Grandma."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the three children in front of her with surprise in her eyes: "Yunzheng and Yunqin, my good grandson, must be freezing! Come inside and warm yourself by the fire. And my Xiaojiu, he must be frozen after walking so far." It’s broken, hurry up and sit on the kang.”

As he said that, he took Zhao Yunxi's hand and walked into the house. The old man's wrinkled hands were extremely warm, and the smile on his face was even more heart-warming.

Old Yangtou saw his grandson and granddaughter coming, took their hands and said with a smile: "Yunzheng, Yunqinkuai, there are delicious pastries on the table. Xiaojiu, there is your favorite on the table." pear."

Entering the house, Yang Chunsheng saw his two gentle grandsons and his charming granddaughter, and he couldn't close his mouth with laughter.

He quickly called a few people to sit on the Kang.

"Why didn't the food come this year?"

Yang explained again.

"You kid, you didn't even send a message home about something as serious as my son-in-law's injury. I think you really have a great idea. I have a good potion for bruises. Take some with you when you go back."

Although it is a complaint, it is also a genuine concern.

"Mom and dad, don't worry, Niu Liang's legs are really fine. It's just that he can't walk well now, so we didn't let him come."

Old Yangtou said with a tigerish face: "Why are you here? Taking good care of yourself is the most important thing. I won't be angry until he comes."

Zhao Yunxi took a bite of the pear on the table. The whole face was so cold and sore that it wrinkled up.

The two elders of the Yang family looked at their granddaughter's appearance and instantly became happy.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "When you were little, you loved to eat pears the most. I have never seen you look so ugly."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang turned to look at her daughter and said, "This child's taste has changed a bit since he recovered from his illness. Now he prefers spicy food."

Old Yangtou said happily: "This is the same as her uncle. I asked your aunt to make pepper chicken for you that night. I guarantee you will like it."

Zhao Yunxi expressed his gratitude with a smile.

Just as he was talking, a woman entered the house. Seeing the people sitting on the kang, he immediately smiled and said, "This is my little sister's arrival! I just put my grandson to bed and didn't come out to greet you, so don't be upset."

Mrs. Yang stood up and shouted to the woman with a smile: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Xiao Zhuzhu is already one year old! When I came back last year, she was just one month old."

The three brothers and sisters called each other obediently. Han Shi looked at his niece and two nephews and said cheerfully: "These three are really good-looking. Xiaojiu, on the other hand, is getting better and better after two years of not seeing each other. My aunt is even better." Unrecognizable."

Zhao Yunxi said with a smile: "My aunt likes me, so I will come here often in the future. Then my aunt will not find me annoying."

"Then it's not too late for me to welcome you! Your grandparents are very happy that you come here often. The year you were sick, your grandmother lost ten pounds because of worry. It wasn't until she heard that you were well that you regained your energy."

Zhao Yunxi looked at his grandmother after hearing this, and saw the old man looking at him lovingly. Zhao Yunxi felt moved and stepped forward to hug the old man.

Mrs. Zhang hugged her granddaughter and changed the topic with a smile. Everyone in the room who had not seen each other for a long time was chatting in full swing.

Suddenly, a sound of slamming on the table interrupted several people.
