peasant shrew

Chapter 157

With the festive spirit of people coming and going in the village, the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger.In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve.Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhou and Zhao Tieniu cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, while Yueniang sat on the kang and cut the new window paper into pieces.After finishing all this, she went to the stove and used white flour to paste the paste to paste the window paper in the house one by one.

Because it's too late to do work, after tidying up, Yueniang and Zhou's went to prepare the food for the next few days.Even the dumplings, I made a lot of them, and put them under the wall, and then used the basin buttons, so that they are not afraid of being damaged or being ruined by wild cats and dogs.

"Yueniang, let's stew the pig's trotters and pork legs first. Let's simmer for two hours. It will be delicious and soft when you eat it." Zhou smiled and picked up a chopsticks of braised pork just out of the pot and stuffed it into Yueniang's mouth Here, seeing her eating delicious food, I also feel happy in my heart.

"Okay, when it's time for lunch later, let's scramble eggs and get some cabbage and potatoes."

Yueniang smiled and helped Mrs. Zhou to go to the main room, and when they entered the room, the two started chatting.It should be said that Zhou's most worried thing is Yueniang's belly, which is obviously only four months old, less than five months old, but it is bigger than other people's six-month-old belly.If the doctor in the hospital didn't tell me, she would have been pregnant with her daughter-in-law at the time.

couple?Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yueniang with a softer expression.Maybe they are really a pair of treasures, after the new year's day, she will have to urge her son to take Yueniang to the medical clinic again, it is best to find an old doctor with severe pulse...

"Mother, these window grilles are so beautiful." Lin Yueniang leaned half on the kang cabinet, watching Zhou's dexterously cutting out many festive window grilles.What a bumper harvest, what a bright red sun, and some figures and happy words.Seeing it directly, Yueniang was eager to try and learn.

Mrs. Zhou smiled, found another pair of scissors and handed them over, and then taught Yueniang to cut some simple patterns.

"In the few years since your father was born, Tieniu was still young, and the situation of the family suddenly fell into the mud, and the debts rolled all over the body. So I relied on doing small jobs for others to support the family , This flower-cut paper was practiced at that time. Don’t tell me, many people bought it after their mother’s name.” Zhou’s words were simple, but Lin Yueniang knew that a widow without a man brought How hard it would be to live with a son.Even in the previous life, many people couldn't survive it.

What's more, no matter how good the flower paper is, it is just a piece of red paper after all, even if you earn money, it may not be as easy as embroidering a purse.

"Mother, from now on, Tieniu and I will honor you, and our family will live happily. The ups and downs we have encountered are all over, so I can't feel any more uncomfortable." Yueniang took a deep breath to suppress the sore nose and Said with some moist eyes.When her parents passed away, she also thought that she couldn't make it through, and even after many years, she couldn't bear to watch the reports of being indifferent or cursing her parents.

Now, the Zhou family treats her very well. Although Zhao Tieniu is a rough person, he is sincere to her.I don't know if it's because of having a child, or because of a change of heart, but now she feels very satisfied with her life.Although I will miss the mobile phone and computer in my previous life, and those fast lifestyles, I don't reject the peaceful and stable life that I have to walk or drive an ox cart every time I go out.

Zhao Tieniu used the paste made by his wife to paste Spring Festival couplets and the door god on the gate. When he entered the house, he saw his mother cut a lot of window grilles, and then happily pasted them on the windows of several houses.Such a whole is festive and warm, and it is much more beautiful than the whitewashed window paper just now.

On the night of New Year's Eve, crackling firecrackers rang out one after another in the village, and even Yueniang and Mrs. Zhou helped each other to watch Zhao Tieniu set off firecrackers in the courtyard for a while.The flickering whips and the red papers all over the yard fully set off the atmosphere of the New Year.

Because it was Chinese New Year, the family was willing to light up the lights, even the two homemade lanterns at the door were lit with candles and lit up, not to mention the oil lamps and candles in the main room were all brightly lit.

The sound of firecrackers could be heard outside one after another, and inside the warm room, Zhao Tieniu and Yueniang were talking cheerfully to Mrs. Zhou with their cups raised and smiling faces.

Yue Niang, who was already a little clumsy, naturally couldn't kowtow, and there was only ordinary sugar water in her cup.

"Okay, okay," Zhou said repeatedly, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "They are all good boys, good boys..."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhou took out two red envelopes from her sleeve and handed them over.This is what Yueniang asked her to buy and save in the shop before. She is not a greedy eater, so naturally she will not spend all of it.

Tieniu didn't think much, took the red envelope and handed it to his wife.As a result, he naturally got a reproachful stare from his daughter-in-law.That delicate appearance made his heart tremble when he looked directly at it.

He didn't think much about it. Anyway, he felt that if he had money, he should give it to his wife. If he had money, he would ask his wife for more.Days like this are like married couples.Naturally, he really hadn't thought about hiding money from his house.

Seeing the interaction between her son and daughter-in-law, Zhou felt both amused and comforted.The children are so affectionate, how can she not be happy?As for the son listening to his daughter-in-law, in her opinion, it was the most normal.

She said a few more words, mostly to let the two support each other and tolerate each other.After getting the answer, he hurriedly moved his chopsticks to create a lively scene.
