husband and wife

Chapter 119

Su Wan fell asleep until noon, and was woken up by Song Ziheng from the bed at meal time. Su Wan rubbed her eyes, and looked at Song Ziheng while changing clothes. Her eyes, which were always fair, were dim, and their eyes were slightly red. Asked: "Sanggong didn't rest for a while in the morning?" She herself slept so deeply that she didn't realize if someone was lying next to her.

Song Ziheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I played Pai Gow with everyone in the compound for a while, and I didn't sleep."

Su Wan is not interested in Pai Gow, she met it once before, and she doesn't like to play it, but people here in winter have no entertainment, but everyone is interested in this game, it's a pity that these entertainments have nothing to do with women, they The preparations for the new year were handled inside and out, and they couldn't rest until New Year's Eve, and if it wasn't for the saying that they didn't move needles and threads on the first day of the lunar new year, Su Wan felt that Mrs. Zhang and the others must be mending a bunch of clothes by now, so Su Wan Right now, I especially look forward to Song Ziheng's early high school. At that time, she will develop the wives who want to socialize into her own poker friends. Playing mahjong and fighting the landlord is better than doing nothing now.

But Su Wan was a little puzzled, the compound was just an empty frame, with no doors or windows, it was ventilated in all directions, and it froze to death.
Bringing out this curiosity, Song Ziheng said: "I'm afraid I don't know, but every year there is a fire in the courtyard. It's very interesting for everyone to gather around to warm up."

"Apart from you men, can women go?"

"Of course, the Chinese New Year is not limited to these people, even younger sisters, they will occasionally go there to do needlework and chat with the sisters they have made friends with."

Imagine that there are hundreds of households in Songjia Village. The compound area is huge, but almost all the people in the village gather together. How can it be a grand occasion?Su Wan heard it with interest: "I'll accompany my husband to have a look in the afternoon."

Song Ziheng originally wanted to take a nap in the afternoon and then read a book, but seeing that Su Wan was interested, he changed his mind, nodded and said, "Then after dinner, my lady will follow me."

After the meal, the children didn't come to make trouble for Su Wan. They were neatly dressed, and they were instructed by Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li, and ran out happily with their younger brothers and sisters. After a while, a crowd came from the yard of the Song family. There was a large group of children talking auspicious words, Mother Song grabbed more than half of the peanuts and melon seeds on the table, and put a handful in each person's pocket. Su Wan watched happily from the side. Looking at Xiaomei Song, he said, "Little sister, I will go to the courtyard with your third brother later, will you go with me?"

Song Xiaomei thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay, let's go together."

The three of them were not the only ones who went to the compound at the end. Except for Grandma Song who had trouble walking and didn't want to go out, the rest of the Song family went together.

Apart from building a few tiles and building a few walls, the compound has nothing else, and it is very appropriate to call it a compound. Su Wan used to ask whose house was broken up like this, but unexpectedly, it was the Song family's villagers celebrating the New Year. Some people had no relatives to leave, so they spent all the time in the compound from the first day of the new year to the Lantern Festival. The fire burned from morning to night, which was very lively.

After paying the rent early this morning, the village head asked his sons to start a fire in the courtyard. There was not such a big brazier, so he moved some stones to form a circle, and the villagers would spontaneously go to help, and brought a lot of firewood There, some villagers brought their own stools to chat by the fire one after another. The men gathered together to play Pai Gow, while the women handed bamboo sticks and mochi to the middle of the fire for roasting. There were also roasted sweet potatoes. In the courtyard, the children, who were tired from running outside, rushed in, lay down in the woman's arms and asked if they had been handcuffed. When they got a negative answer, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and fell outside again.

This picture is so vivid. She traveled here before, full of displeasure, and always looked at the ancient aborigines with a kind of pity. Did she know that they didn't have their own happiness?Just as Su Wan marveled in her heart, the moment she stepped into the crowd, she was surrounded by the crowd enthusiastically. It is true that Su Wan usually does not step out of the gate, but the village is full of legends about her. Curious, I went directly to Song's house to see what's new. Girls like Song Xiaomei are often mentioned by people, but except for some close friends, those who live far away almost have to go around half the village to get to Song's house. The reason is that if you come to the door for no reason, you can only listen to it for a while, and finally saw it today, and your eyes are shining.

Su Wan was surrounded by seven elder aunts and eight elder women, and Song Ziheng's younger sister who hadn't left the house also received the same treatment, which made Su Wan feel much more balanced psychologically. The three brothers Song Ziheng were also dragged to play cards by a few enthusiastic men. Divided into two groups of people.
