Chapter 174: New Year's Eve

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Nan Congbo left three days ago. Xuejian is not reluctant to give up. There is no banquet that never end. What's more, one is as expensive as the moon in the sky, and the other is as cheap as mud on the soles of his feet. There should be no intersection in the first place.

When Nangubo left, he always wanted to say something to Xuejian, but what can he say? This is Xuejian, not Zixin. Although they have the same appearance, they all have different personalities and tempers. Xuejian has always been far away from her. You come from you, and I will let nature take its course, but I will never welcome you. Under the surface, there is a strong alienation and coldness that strangers should not approach.

Her eyes can never smile to the bottom of her eyes; her expression can never hide the pain in her heart; her calmness always carries a sense of despair and indifference.

The man named Zhou Bo! Nangubo clenched his fist and how he could bear to hurt her so far!

Angry turned into anger, but Nangubo understood that he had not been 100% trusted by Xuejian. Even if she had the intention to support the sky for her, she would not agree. Can the purple heart who looked at him full of admiration and followed her wholeheartedly come back?

He has been delayed for such a long time in Qingzhou, and his family letters are one after another. He can not explain it, but what should he do in the future? Give up? Obviously, he doesn't want to! But what can he do if he doesn't give up? Is the distance between the capital and Dongsheng Village a world of difference? What I have done now is just covering my ears and stealing bells!

"Clap..."

"It's late, it's late! Get up quickly!" Before dawn, the crackling sound of firecrackers could be heard. Xiaotao and Xiaoli got up and complained to each other, and they didn't get the first cannon in the village. It's all because you brushed your teeth last night, so that I didn't sleep well.

Xiao Li quit. She was a pillow for Xiaotao, and then jumped out of bed and said, "You just grind your teeth. Your whole family is grinding your teeth." This is what my wife used to say. I haven't heard my wife say it for a long time.

"It's just that Xiaomei is always on duty at night. It's strange that your wife can sleep well at night!" Xiaoli continued, "It's like a rat."

Waiting for the firecrackers outside to sound for a while, Xiaotao put down her hand covering her ear and came over to pinch Xiaoli, "Let you talk nonsense!" Tonight, my wife said that she would not be served. Let's just play for a night. I'll be on duty tomorrow night!"

The two said together and rushed to wash up. In the past, I used to play in front of the mirror for a long time, but now I don't grab the mirror. I rushed to the main house to find out that Xue Jian had got up, so I ran to the courtyard to set off firecrackers. Let me light the fire, let me do it!"

Xiaomei listened to the two people fighting with a smile and listened to the sound of firecrackers. Then she entered the room with satisfaction and felt that this was the meaning of a holiday. Before Nangubo left, the graceful peach's "express" sent a large car full of firecrackers and fireworks, which was enough for everyone to have enough fun tonight.

"The Spring Festival is to have fun. Don't be obsessed with the two of them today." Xue Jian smiled and said to Xiaomei, "You too. I have nothing to do here. You can also play with them."

"There will be a Yangko party tomorrow. What's the fun today?" Xiaomei said, "I also saw the Yangge Club when I was a child, but we were poor and couldn't see it. We still drove several miles on the first day of the Chinese New Year before I saw it..." Xiaomei's voice slowly lowered. These are all far away, and it's too far away to be true.

Hearing her say this, Xue Jian remembered that she had never seen the Yangko Club outside the TV. In the past, Pingshan Village was a poor mountain village, so naturally there was no money to hire plays and Yangge. In Xuejian above, this Yangko Shenma's square dance and the Chinese aunt's square dance are harmoniously unified.

Listen to Xiaomei, but it is a completely different existence. First of all, Yanggeer's performance is full of outstanding big girls and little daughters-in-law, so Yanggeer also has the saying of "women's song", and there are also aunt-level ones, which also have a name, called "a flower"; secondly, good Yanggeer performance also has a story. Xue Jian thought, this is the TV of the event.

Set off firecrackers and did not compete with Xiaotao. Before breakfast, Xiaoli personally pasted the pair written by the prince, and neatly attached three hanging money below, drifting with the wind, happy and peaceful. Not only at the door, "Look up to see joy" is posted on the bedroom door, "Go out to see joy" is posted on the yard door, and "Spring Prosperity" is posted on the well shelf. In short, there are all kinds of stickers. As far as Xiaoli knows, this Spring Festival couplets are also exquisite. First, it must be pasted before noon, which means that the family will be diligent in the coming year. Second, the Spring Festival couplets must be sticky, so that the Spring Festival couplets can be firmly pasted. On New Year's Eve, every family sticks Spring Festival couplets together. Everyone's Spring Festival couplets have been "persisting" on the door frame for a long time and will not fall off after the wind and rain. It can even maintain the Spring Festival, which proves that this family must have a clever daughter-in-law. Naturally, our family can't be underestimated.

Different from the family of having children, Xuejian and others do not have to sacrifice their ancestors. After lunch, Xuejian only felt a little tired. Xiaomei went to serve her and went to bed first. Xiaotao and Xiaoli began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. This New Year's Eve dinner, you can have dishes that you don't usually like to eat, but you must eat colorful ones. A big fish is indispensable, and you can't eat it all on New Year's Eve. You have to put half of it on the stove and eat it on the first day of the Chinese New Year, which is called more than a year. Braised chicken feet with sauce are also essential. If you eat chicken feet on New Year's Eve, you will have a rake for money next year. As for the dumpling fillings, several kinds of sauerkraut fillings are always available, Luo Bu stuffing symbolizes making a lot of money. Hearing my wife say these many ways, even if Xiaotao and Xiaoli are busy, they are still happy in their hearts.

After a good rest in the afternoon, Xue recovered, so he went out of the house to see Xiaomei make an ice lamp. Xiaomei has known how to make ice lanterns since last year. This year, she has done more and sent several girls. She only narrowed her eyes happily. Xuejian looked at the ice lamp, but was thinking that the Zhou family has been making ice lanterns for the past two years. I don't know if they will still use this kind of outdated ice lamp this year?

Thinking like this, his face became gloomy again. For fear that it would affect everyone's mood, he simply sat in the room all afternoon and didn't come out.

"Do you miss your relatives every festive season?" Seeing this, Xue couldn't help laughing. How can she think about herself? This festival is not the other season. She looked at herself in the mirror, a little sarcastic and despised. This is you, Xuejian!

Xiaomei sent an ice lamp back from her son's house. When she entered the room and saw Xue's expression, she hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Madam, are you uncomfortable?"

Xue Jian shook her head, just put down the mirror, half leaned on the kang, and narrowed her eyes. She understood that time was like a carving knife, removing some love and hatred, but also portraying the other part more deeply.

After quietly closing his eyes for a while, Xue Jian whispered, "Let's return to peace on the second day of the lunar new year. When the child is a little older, we will still go back here. The folk customs here are simple. I believe that the grocery store will be better and better. It's enough to feed us.

"Madam..." Xiaomei doesn't understand. Doesn't the wife know the prince's heart? " The prince..."

"The prince and countrymen like us are as far away as the sky and the earth, do you understand?" Xuejian looked at Xiaomei and knew that Xiaomei really wanted to make her happy, but the word happiness could not be given to her by Nangubo, and the word happiness would not appear in her life from now on.

Hai Shi will arrive soon, and this is the time to welcome the god of wealth. Xiaoli was busy boiling water to cook dumplings, and Xiaotao set off firecrackers. Xiaomei put the table in the middle of the yard, placed offerings, took a few pieces of burning paper outside the courtyard to "receive the God of Wealth" to the table to light it, and helped Xuejian kneel down and kowtow to bless everyone's health and happiness for a year.

Then boiled water, and the whole family washed their faces, saying goodbye to the past. Then the door was closed, and the four of them filled with dumplings and sat down together at the kang table, eating dumplings as they welcomed a new beginning. Maybe after a busy day, everyone is like a hungry pig. After a while, they eat all the dumplings, then soak a pot of frozen pears, and then slow down the cool down first. In this way, they eat more and more happily.

"Madam, you can't eat this frozen pear. You can't eat a bite." Xiaomei grabbed the frozen pear in Xuejian's hand with a helpless smile on her face, "You are now your body. Why are you so careless? Isn't this causing trouble for us during the Spring Festival?

"Look," Xuejian pointed to Xiaomei, "this girl is becoming more and more like a housekeeper, with an old-fashioned face, more talkative than Aunt He."

"Madam!" Xiaomei raised her eyebrows and stared at Xue, "Is this what the wife should say?"

Xuejian and others laughed and laughed. They also came out of the Zhou family. Xiaotao was changed by Jing, but this Xiaomei became more and more old. How could she look like a fifteen or sixteen girl?

The custom of Dongsheng Village is that you don't sleep all night, and the year is auspicious. Xuejian is a pregnant woman, so naturally she doesn't have to abide by these rules. But he also drank a few sips of wine, and at this time, his face was pale and even more delicate. But he told a few jokes to everyone. After the New Year's Eve dinner and gave each of the three girl a rich red envelope, he could no longer bear it and went to bed. Several girls had a plan for this free New Year. Everyone had their own fun, and they were not busy cleaning up the kang table and didn't go back to their room. The three of them huddled together in the little ** vigil. Xiaotao took out all kinds of gadgets prepared in advance and everyone played together.

And in the room, such a light laughter slowly sneaked into the dream of Xuejian. In the dream, there was not only this laughter, but also a person looked at her with his eyes. Although he pretended to be disdainful, he coaxed her softly, "I will only keep you in the future, okay?" Such a lie only coaxed her overnight.
