Chapter 119 Taughter's Son-in-law
The oil lamp in the house is flashing, and the Mo family is not as good as before, and the oil lamp can still be used. It's just that I don't use it often, but what's the use of these nights during the Spring Festival? I'm usually used to smearing.
A room of people eat frozen food, and people who eat fried food. Anyway, none of them is idle.
Molan picked up a frozen persimmon first. The persimmon was almost slow. She tore the skin and began to suck it up. It was cold and sweet, slightly astringent, and it was very delicious.
After sucking a large persimmon, she threw the skin into the basin next to her, which was full of all kinds of skins, such as melon seed skin, pine seed skin, pecan peel, pear core, flower red handle, persimmon peel and so on.
After eating frozen persimmon, she found another Huagai pear, tore it, and began to wrap it up. It was cold and sweet. The pear juice was very cool when inhaled into her mouth. It was sweeter than frozen persimmon, and had no astringent taste. Molan ate two in one breath, and then ate the c The sour and sweet taste was particularly delicious. Molan ate a handful of cranberries in a while.
"Lan girl, these are all cold. Don't eat too much. You can eat it every day in the future. Don't be greedy." Wang looked at her granddaughter who kept talking and told her.
"Oh, I won't eat two more." Molan responded quickly, and she knew that Grandma was good for her.
The night was getting late. Everyone saw that Wang and Mo were a little dozing off, and the juniors also yawned repeatedly. The mistress had already slept on the bed.
When they finally got through, everyone began to kneel down to pay New Year's greetings to Mo Quan and Wang. Mo Quan and Wang smiled and took out the wrapped red envelope and handed it to the younger generation.
It contains copper coins. The younger generation had one or two large coins in previous years. This year, the red envelope contained twenty large coins, and the happy juniors quickly kicked them into their arms one by one. This belongs to you, and you can buy what you like.
Wang waved his hand. Everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Molan lay on ** and asked Wang Shi, "Milk, have you counted how much money we have made this year? How much rich money does our family have now? Although Molan has some points in her heart, she has not seriously calculated it. Her uncle is calculating the money at home, and her grandmother is in charge of the money. She is not very careful.
"Um, the previous one figured it out. What we earn by selling steamed buns is used to collect mushrooms and pine nuts. Dried vegetables and pecans. What can be left is the money for those princes in the town to eat on this cold day. Your uncle calculated it. The total is more than 60 taels, and the capital cost 20 taels. We spent nearly ten taels to buy food, cloth, cotton and other things, with 37 taels of silver left. It's all stored in grandma's place. Wang said it clearly to his granddaughter.
"There are so many. We still have more than 30 taels left. I really never dreamed that I could have so much money." Mo Quan had drunk soju, but he was already confused in the middle of the night. At this moment, listening to Wang's words, he opened his eyes.
"Master. There will be more in the future, and our life will be better and better. Molan said this with a smile, and then sweetly fell asleep.
After waking up the second day. She put on a new cotton-padded jacket, which was made for her by her grandmother. The inside was new cotton, and the outside was red floral cotton cloth, evenly. It's just right to be fat and thin, with a black buckle. She looks so cute when she wears it on Molan.
The cotton trousers were made by Liu Shi for her. The thick blue cloth is also new. The blue cotton shoes are made by Qiu Shi, with thick cotton inside, which is very warm.
Molan is brand-new from head to toe. She looked at her grandmother in a sauce-colored cotton-padded jacket with a happy face. Today is the first day of junior high school, and people with conditions have to wear new clothes. In the past, no one in the big house of the Mo family could enjoy this treatment. This year is different. This is the Spring Festival! Molan thought to himself.
In addition to eating and playing during the Spring Festival, several children run around like crazy every day, and their faces turn red every day before they come back.
The second day of the lunar new year is the day to go to grandma's house. Early in the morning, Molan put on new clothes. With Mo Changhe, Qiu, Erlang, Momei and Xiao Saner, they got on Grandpa Liu's ox cart and went to Qiu's mother's house.
When he arrived at the place, Qiu Dajun and Qiu Xiaojun were looking at the gate and saw their car coming. Qiu Xiaojun hurried back and shouted for adults, and Qiu Dajun greeted them.
After greeting, everyone unloaded the gift they brought from the car. Old Liu hurried back, and he had to rush back to send his daughter-in-law back to his mother's home.
Molan's grandparents and uncles greeted him, and Molan's grandma hurriedly hugged Xiao Saner and shouted for a good grandson. Looking at the gifts they took, they said an anxically, "Come here. Why do you bring so many things? You gave a lot of gifts before the New Year. This is a plan to bring all the things in your house.
Mo Changhe smiled. This is the most beautiful time for him to come to his father-in-law's house. In previous years, they brought a little thing. Although his father-in-law and mother-in-law were very enthusiastic and good to him, his face was always lightless. This time, the pork brought half a fan, as well as Peach, six chickens, six goose, and two big fish. I'm afraid this gift can be numbered in this village.
"Quick, come into the house. This is the cold air outlet. Don't let the cold wind freeze." Qiu Shi hurried in and let the crowd in.
When they arrived at the inner room, they went to the kang. Molan's aunt, second aunt and two cousins also came. First, they were cleaning up the food in the stove, and now they all came in advance to accompany the guests.
After a few chats, the younger generation kowtowed to the New Year, and the adults were busy giving the red seal. The Qiu family did not rely on 28 yuan in a red seal, which was given to her by the Wang family in the morning.
And the Qiu family gave it, Mo Lan secretly pinched it. It should not be as much as her own, but she didn't care. Whether the relatives were good or bad was not the amount of money. In previous years, her family had no money, and her grandma's family was just as good to her family.
"Milk, my aunt gave me 28 yuan of New Year's money, and I can try my best to buy delicious food." Qiu Xiaojun obviously opened the red envelope and counted it. Now he sat next to his grandmother and said happily.
"How do you give your baby so much lucky money? Does your mother-in-law know?" Qiu Fang quickly asked his daughter. Although her daughter's life is good, harmony is still the most important.
"Mom, this red envelope is made by my mother-in-law. Don't worry, you don't know my mother-in-law yet. It's good for us." Qiu took her mother's hand and told her not to worry.
"Your mother-in-law is a good man. You stupid girl is lucky. You married such a good son-in-law as Changhe, such a good father-in-law and mother-in-law, and such a few children. Although you suffered some trouble with the second wife a few years ago, but now that you have separated, you have survived Qiu Fang looked at his big daughter and sighed secretly. It's really a fool to be a fool. He doesn't have any intentions. He is honest. He has been worrying about his heart all the time. It's good at the time. Not only has he split up with the second room, but also the business of the shop is also good.
Qiu Dajun came back a year ago and brought a lot of New Year's gifts and three taels of silver, which made the family very fond of them. The soldier of Qiu Da raised Bai Jing, and he also gained a little weight. His mouth was sharp, and his vision was much higher. Listening to him talk about the things in the shop, everyone opened their eyes. Now looking at her daughter's family full of brand-new clothes, her heart, which has been hanging for many years, has been relieved.
Everyone was nagging, and there were a lot of voices outside. Molan listened to the noises outside and was a little puzzled. Why was it still noisy during the Spring Festival? She got up and went out to have a look.
I saw a lot of teenagers outside, shouting with Molan's uncle and asked the Qiu family to give him something.
After listening for a long time, Molan finally understood that there was a rule in this village, that is, the son-in-law came to the door, to take out something to these teenagers in the village, or to give some dried fruit to stir-fry, or to give a few penny of money. Anyway, they have to give some things, not empty He coaxed and stuffed the snow ball into his son-in-law's clothes. Feed your son-in-law snow and so on, and use some tricks to make fun of people.
Every year, many new son-in-law are teased. Some families give something or a few penny in order not to let the new son-in-law suffer, and some hide the new son-in-law in order to hide. Others ask and say they didn't come. When they can't find it, they will leave naturally.
These teenagers are all for fun. The people who come to their house can't be angry, otherwise they will have a bad reputation in the village, and no one will talk to you if anything happens in the future.
The most ridiculous family. The conditions of the family are not bad. There are the most people who go to their house. One year, they went to five groups of people, and each group of them deducted six cents. After that, the angry mother-in-law had a toothache and shouted that she couldn't stand it. She even asked her son
Molan knew the reason and couldn't help grinning. It's really ten miles of different customs. There is no custom of blackering people in her own village.
She ran back to the house, picked up a basket of fried melon seeds and fried peanuts, and said to Mo Changhe, "Dad, don't go out. There's black people outside. I'll send them peanut melon seeds."
After saying that, she ran out of Mo Changhe, sent the basket to the group of teenagers, and said crisply, "Brothers, please eat. I'm happy for the New Year. My father is old and his body is not tossing. Let's raise your hands."
Those teenagers were talking to Qiu Baosheng. They knew that Qiu Baosheng's family's life was okay this year, so they came to the door. In previous years, they couldn't tell anything, so they rarely came. This year is different, and they are going to go to the town for a good meal.
During the noisy time, a watery little girl ran out and gave them peanut melon seeds with a smile on her face. For a moment, they were a little embarrassed.
"Girl, we don't want these. We want a lot of money." A teenager saw that everyone didn't say anything, and he took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Big brother, didn't you say that there is a lot of money for speculation? This is stir-fry. Look, these peanuts and melon seeds are stir-fried. Am I wrong? Or do all the big brothers dislike that our fried food is not delicious? After saying that, Molan looked at the teenagers with her big watery eyes.
