The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 125 New Year's Eve (3)
Li Caibin took the clothes and only responded lightly, "Brother is not cold."

Su Hongling shoveled red-hot charcoal from the stove, installed a fire cage, and handed the fire cage to Li Caiwei, "Caiwei, let your brother warm his hands." Seeing that Li Caiwei was agitated, she comforted, "Caiwei, you Brother took it over, you don’t have to worry, it will be fine in the future.”

Li Caiwei suppressed her tears and nodded, now she finally got over it. "Brother, go to the stove and warm up the fire. When it's hot, we're going to make mochi." Making mochi is a laborious job, and it takes three or four strong men to take turns.Even Jia Sheng, who has never asked about family affairs, is eager to try. "Sister-in-law, I want to join too."

"Jia Sheng, are you sure you have strength?"

"Sister-in-law, don't underestimate me. Brother Jiacheng and I wrestle with each other. We're on equal footing."

Li Caiwei smiled and said, "Okay, then the four of you are in charge of beating, and we are in charge of pinching."

The first hanging mochi is the freshest and most delicious. You can knead the mochi into balls with your hands while it is hot, dip it in sugar, and it tastes soft and sweet.

Li Caiwei took out five bowls and poured half a catty of sugar. The sticky and hot mochi had the fragrance of glutinous rice. It was even more delicious after being dipped in sugar. Jiajin who was standing next to him couldn't help but tugged at Yang's cuff , "Mom, I want to eat."

"Jia Lin, my sister-in-law will feed you." Liu Jialin ran over in a hurry, Li Caiwei saw that he had a thick head and a thick head, especially those black eyes, which always seemed to be unable to wake up.

After dipping the mochi in the sugar with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, fearing it would be too hot, she blew it first, "Is it delicious?" Liu Jialin nodded straightly, his soft voice almost melted people, " tasty."

"If it's delicious, eat a few more."

"Jiacheng, brother, Jiaxuan, Jiasheng, you all come over to eat."

"Er Niang, you guys eat first. I'll send this bowl to Dad. Brother, you feed Mom two yuan. She likes this, but you should put less sugar."

When Yang heard this, she was so angry that she said, "Caiwei, you send it to your father, and don't let that little bastard Liu Chunhong eat it."

"Third son, let him alone. He still has a few years to live, and his neck is already stretched. Fortunately, his children are still filial, which is finally a lot of relief."

Yang didn't speak any more.

Afraid of the cold mochi, Li Caiwei specially brought a warm handbag, which was bought for her mother when she was in the county last time.Lying on the bed, Yu was afraid that no one would watch her. Although she had made things difficult for her many times, she thought that she would not live for a few years, so she didn't want to worry about it.

Facing the snow, when I arrived at Liu's house, I saw that the door of the house was ajar.She thought about it, it was pitiful for Aunt Nian to be alone at home this year, so she turned and walked towards Aunt Nian's house.Every household is preparing for the New Year, making mochi, frying dumplings, cleaning the courtyard, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and the whole village is immersed in a lively atmosphere.

When I arrived at Aunt Nian's house, it was deserted and deserted. I was busy during this time, and it was rare to go to Aunt Nian's house.Knocked on the door, and the door creaked open. Aunt Nian was standing at the door wearing thick clothes, and saw that it was Jia Cheng's wife, "Jia Cheng's wife, it's snowing heavily, why don't you wear a bamboo hat, come in quickly, warm hand."

Li Caiwei took out a bowl of mochi from the bag and handed it to Aunt Nian, "I'm making mochi at home, I'll bring you some."

Seeing that it was still hot, Aunt Nian couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of her being alone. She put down the mochi and called her to the stool in front of the stove, "It's warm here, come and sit for a while."

Li Caiwei fought Dou Xue, "Aunt Nian, Uncle Nian's three sons haven't come back to see you?"

"Don't count on them anymore, I'm comfortable alone."

Li Caiwei nodded. Aunt Nian is only in her 50s, and she has quick hands and feet. It’s pitiful for her to live alone. Go to the county seat, this will save you alone."

Aunt Nian's originally lost and desperate eyes suddenly injected hope, "Is it true that the family becomes a daughter-in-law?"

Li Caiwei nodded, "Well, what you say is true, but just opened, the salary may not be too high."

"As soon as I'm old, I don't need any salary, just give me a bite to eat."

The two talked for a while, and when they left, Li Caiwei asked Aunt Nian to go to her house for the reunion festival tomorrow.Aunt Nian agreed with tears in her eyes. When she saw her leave, she was very sad and moved to tears. Li Caiwei comforted her, "I will be very busy in the future and will not be able to take care of my mother. If you follow, you can still be with me." My mother will be your companion, you are about the same age as you."

Aunt Nian rubbed her tears, "Hey, I'll go there tomorrow." When she walked out of Aunt Nian's house, she suddenly felt better, especially when she saw the white snow all over the ground. Truth, goodness and beauty.

When he reached the gate of Liu's house, he took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and heard the sound of something being smashed inside. "You old bastard, quickly take out the title deed for me."

When I went in, I found Liu Chunhong standing in Yu's room and smashing things.

"Liu Chunhong, stop!" Li Caiwei saw that the bed was in a mess, and Yu Shi was lying on the bed sickly.

Seeing her coming, Liu Chunhong immediately stopped her hands and clapped her hands, "Old woman, please remember, if you don't show the title deed of the old house, I will torture you to death!"

Put down the things in your hands and walk to the window, "Mom, how do you feel?"

Mrs. Yu slowly opened her eyes, seeing that it was Li Caiwei, she said weakly, "Caiwei, don't worry about the house, go back quickly."

"Mom, how can I ignore you, you and dad are husband and wife after all, how can dad treat you like this, I want to argue with dad."

Liu Chunhong sneered, and snorted coldly at her, "Theory? I think you should go to the cell and argue with the county magistrate. Your father was taken away by the officers and soldiers last night. That old bastard cheated for sex and money. All the 2000 taels I have accumulated over the years have been sent to the gambling house. Pooh, if you don’t pay me back, it’s up to you how you live this year!”

Li Caiwei gave her a cold look, "It deserves it!" But the family didn't tell her, and she knew about it too suddenly, "Mom, something happened?"

Mrs. Yu sighed, "Your father deserves it, he was reported to the police by this woman, and now he will die of cold in the prison, what a crime!"

"Mom, why didn't you tell me?"

"Caiwei, your father has been so useless all his life. He might not be able to get out of the prison. He owes 2000 taels of silver. The family can't afford it, and there is no need to pay it back. Let him die. When the time comes Take a straw mat and drag him back, and bury him for nothing." He coughed violently as he spoke.

"Mother, but this is not a matter, after all..."

Yu waved his hand, "You don't want this matter anymore. You are in urgent need of money now, and you have already paid back 2000 taels of silver for your family. If you want to say filial piety, you have fulfilled your responsibilities. The rest are left to fate, and you can't control so much."
