Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 74
Huixin's milk came the next morning, which was quite fast.The little doll finally got its mother's milk, and now it stopped crying and fussing. It nursed quietly and then went to sleep.

The child in confinement is really different every day, and Chen is so happy that he hugs the child every day and does not let go.Seeing this, Mrs. Xue persuaded, "Mother, you can't hold the child all day long, the habit of a child is hard to change. Huixin takes care of the child by herself, and we can't be here as adults. If the child gets used to being held , won't Huixin be troubled by then?"

Mrs. Chen knew that her daughter-in-law was right, but she couldn't bear it anymore. She quickly put the child down, "I understand it in my heart, but I just can't help it. The last child I saw was Wenxuan, and now Wenxuan is seven I'm old. I haven't seen a little doll in these years, so I don't know how to like it. People, the older I get, the more I love children. When I see the little guy now, I just want to hug it and not let go. Woolen cloth."

In a blink of an eye, the child will be full moon.This is Qingnian's first child, so it is natural to have a grand full moon wine.Qingnian put the full moon wine in the restaurant, relatives from the Tao family and the Xu family all came, as well as the shopkeeper and fellows of Renjitang, they all got along well with Qingnian, and many people came.Everyone had a good time together.

After eating the full moon wine, it stands to reason that they should move to confinement.At this time, it was already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the small year had passed, and the new year would be celebrated soon.Wen Han and his school had already been on holiday, so after discussing it with everyone, they said that we might as well go down the mountain together to celebrate the New Year and celebrate the New Year here.

So Zhixin and the others went back to settle in the venue, and brought a lot of food to Qingnian's house.This winter, when Zhixin and Zhiming had nothing to do, they went to the mountains to hunt prey.There is no need for special treatment in winter, and it will freeze hard after packing it up and putting it outside.

Qingnian also cleaned up the west wing, and then everyone lived in.Now Mrs. Chen happened to be busy preparing for the New Year's Eve, and at the same time, she was able to watch her little grandson, enjoying herself very much every day.

The little doll also has his own name, Tao Jinghui. Besides eating and sleeping, the little doll can also wake up and play for a long time every day.The wrinkled look at the beginning has long since disappeared, and now she is white and fat, with joints of arms like tender lotus roots.Everyone likes this little thing very much, everyone loves to hug him, making Huixin smile wryly, if everyone is gone, how can I get this little fat guy?
Raising noodles, steaming steamed buns, frying meat, and frying all kinds of fruits, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the three of them, Chen, Xue, and Zhu, are busy with these things every day.Naturally, the children also followed suit. Zhixin brought over a large cart of firewood a while ago, and he and Zhiming were helping to chop more firewood.Otherwise, Qingnian is always not at home, and Huixin has another child, how can he get firewood?In fact, it's just that the big guys feel uncomfortable when they are idle. Wen Han and Wen Cheng can chop firewood, and that's how they came here before.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhide brought a few people to Qingnian's house. It turned out that Zhixiang sent someone to give the family a New Year's gift.Zhixiang was afraid that the visitor could not find the ginseng place on the mountain, so he asked people to go to the town to find Zhide, and asked him to bring the visitor to deliver the annual gift.Zhixiang also wrote a letter and asked someone to give it to the old man.The letter mentioned his situation outside. Zhixiang's classmate was sent to a very wealthy place to be the county magistrate, and Zhixiang became his staff, helping to deal with some things.That place is a convenient place where water and land meet, and merchants who come and go come and go to the shore for transactions, so even if the officials are not greedy, the money and goods contributed by these merchants are enough.Zhixiang helped the county magistrate with various affairs, and people knew at a glance that he was the magistrate's right-hand man, so some filial piety to Zhixiang was indispensable.

The visitors brought in all the New Year gifts, and then Mrs. Chen asked Zhixin to give some red envelopes to these people.The people who came here all refused, but in the end Zhixin couldn't be persuaded, so he accepted it. "Old Master Xu, old lady, the younger ones are leaving now. We were brought by the magistrate from here. After finishing our errands, we just go home for the New Year. I won't bother the old man here, and the younger ones leave." Several people After saluting, he left Tao's house.

The Xu family looked at the boxes on the ground, and were a little stunned. They didn't expect Zhixiang to be able to bring back such things after only going out for half a year.The old man always felt a little nervous, "Wen Han, read that letter carefully to see if your uncle committed anything there?" The old man was afraid that his son would go astray.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the little uncle said in the letter that these are just some specialties from the south, and they are very cheap there. The little uncle said that he is very good there, so you don't have to worry about it. Wen Han took Zhixiang's letter and read it to everyone again.

Only then did the old man feel relieved, and asked Zhixin to open the boxes and look at them one by one.There are all kinds of fabrics inside, cotton, linen, and a lot of brocade, all of which are excellent materials in the south.There are also some southern embroidered pieces, the flowers, birds, fish and insects embroidered on them are as real as they are, vivid.There are several sets of the Four Treasures of the Study, all of which are well-known in the south, so they are naturally for boys.In addition, there are various decorations and utensils of porcelain, lacquerware, bamboo carvings, and wood carvings, as well as some small gadgets, which are reserved for these children to play.In addition, there is a small box with a lot of silk flowers and pearl flowers in it, which should be prepared for a few girls.

While watching, Jing Han generally lamented the little uncle's carefulness, everyone in the family has a suitable gift.

Mrs. Chen sorted out all these things.She is Zhixiang's mother, so she naturally understands her son's heart best. Everything is distributed just right, and she won't make people feel partial or anything. "Fourth, you take these back, these should be left to you by the fifth." Mrs. Chen put Zhide's share in front of her son.

"Mother, I don't want these anymore, you can keep them." Zhide declined.

"I told you to take it, so you can take it. When did our family go wrong? This is the wish of the fifth child, so you can take it." The old man said.

"Hey, since daddy said so, then I'll take it. Dad, it's getting late, I'll go back first, and we'll go back to the village together when we're thirty." Zhide left Tao's house with his things.

Everyone also put away all the things they were allocated. In fact, it is enough to keep Huixin's share alone, and the rest has to be taken back to the mountain.

It was finally thirty, and after breakfast, the old man took the boys back to the village to visit the ancestors' graves, while Mrs. Chen led the wives to make food together.Zhide and his wife will not come to join in the fun this year, after all, this is the Tao family, not the Xu family.And they are all in the town, not far away, so it is very convenient to move around.

Ever since Qingnian and his wife came out of Tao's house, they have never had any contact with this side, and Qingnian also felt uncomfortable.Fortunately, this year, the family of the father-in-law and mother-in-law came to celebrate the New Year. At least there were more people, and it was lively, so there was not so much time to be sad during the New Year celebration.

When Qingnian got up in the morning, he went directly to the Tao family's ancestral grave.If you go too late, you might meet him at the old house. Qingnian didn't know how to face the old Tao family, so he had to avoid it.

On the [-]th day, I eat two meals during the day and another meal of dumplings at night, so this second meal is the New Year's Eve dinner.Mrs. Chen and the others were busy inside and out, cooking a lot of delicious food.When the old man and the others came back from the village and rested for a while, they began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

There are two tables in the room, one for the children and one for the adults.Everyone sat around the table, looking at the fish and meat on the table. "Okay, let's start eating. This year we are celebrating the New Year here. This is also a rare time. You can eat it all." The old man sat on the kang and looked at the children at the table on the ground, his face full of tears. smiled. "You little ones, you can eat whatever you like. This year, everyone has worked hard and eaten more." As he said, he picked up a chopstick first.

The old man moved his chopsticks first, and everyone followed suit.Looking at the dishes on the table, the children let go of their stomachs one by one and ate them vigorously.Fortunately, the Xu family's children have good tutoring, they don't have the habit of stirring dishes, and they never fight over them, so their eating habits are considered very civilized.

The adults at the table on the kang naturally wanted to drink. Except for Huixin who wanted to breastfeed, even Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xue also poured a glass of wine in front of each of them.The old man raised his wine glass, "This year is the year with the most things for our family, and it is also the year with the most changes. We sold the house and land, went up the mountain to see the ginseng, and then made money, and the famine was also eliminated. It’s still on. Next year we have to work hard like this year, and try our best to buy a house in the town next year. That way, it will be much more convenient for Wenhan and the others to study. After we finish reading the past few years on the mountain, we will talk about buying another house at that time It's about the house. Well, I won't talk nonsense, let's drink this wine together." Then, the old man raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass.

Mrs. Chen poured the old man a second glass of wine, "I'm happy today. If you like to drink, drink two more glasses. We are celebrating the New Year here, and we are not outsiders. We can do whatever we want, it's okay of."

Hearing this, the old man was very upset, "Okay, you can drink whatever you like. To celebrate the New Year, Dad has to thank you for letting us celebrate the New Year at your house. If you don't know about it, don't think that we Did you come here to play the autumn wind? Hahaha, dad was just joking, come on, let’s have some drinks. The women can’t hold alcohol, and they have to make dumplings later, so they won’t be allowed to drink.” The old man raised his hand Wine glass, drink this glass again.
