Life is much more comfortable than Zhou Xiaoqing imagined, Zhang Gui likes him, she knows, now that she is married, it is the same as before, no, it is more caring.
The other is the living environment. How can I say this is a big tiled house made of blue bricks, which was built not many years ago. It is much cleaner and tidy than the mud brick houses in the educated youth spot. The brightness and lighting are also due to the installation of some glass windows. It is also far more than the educated youth who have pasted the window paper.
Immediately afterwards, it was only a few days away from the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, there was a lot of food, and both food and housing were better than she imagined. In addition, Zhang Gui really liked her as before, cared for her, helped her with work, and helped her. When she talks, she naturally lives comfortably.
It seems that she made the right choice.
Even if he really married Xie Rui, could he coax her and follow her like Zhang Gui
No, instead, she would do everything possible to follow him.
Zhou Xiaoqing strengthened her belief.
Her choice is not wrong.
—
Zhao Xialan deliberately came over to chat with Su Hui after the wedding banquet: "Your sister-in-law, it's terrible." She also went to drink the wedding banquet, and went to their room to see her dowry. Apart from Dao's sewing machine, she herself has a red dress for her wedding dress, and all her daily necessities are complete, but her mother's family is not here, so she doesn't have bedding, but Li Manfen came forward to get it together with others.
When everyone saw this dowry, I don’t know how many young men in the village regretted it. They thought that such a high mountain flower would not fall in love with their country boys, and their parents did not support it. Many people just watched it. If they had known earlier , where did Zhang Gui come out on top
Also regretting it is their parents, a sewing machine! If he had known earlier, their son would definitely not object to pursuing her, and would strongly support her!
It's just that they missed it now, they can only watch, and inevitably feel a little sour, saying that Zhang Gui picked up a big bargain, after all, I heard that the bride price is 150, but her natal home is so far away, it is impossible If you post it to your natal family, isn't that still the Zhang family taking advantage of it
It is equivalent to getting a daughter-in-law and a sewing machine for nothing. Where can I find such a good thing
All of a sudden, the situation of other female educated youths in the educated youth spot became better, and many people came to inquire, and they all said that they did not have any sewing machines as dowry, nor did they have any other four major items.
"I passed by there yesterday and saw your sister-in-law sitting at the door eating pumpkin seeds. Your brother-in-law stood beside her and dialed it for her, and your sister-in-law was pressed by your mother-in-law to chop firewood behind her."
"This firewood has always been split by men. It must be your sister-in-law who made your mother-in-law unhappy."
Zhao Xialan said that during this period of time, she was a bit overwhelmed by gossip. She was busy with New Year's things, she separated from her family, and her children were still young. Many people could not count on it, so she had to do it by herself.
Zhao Xialan sighed: "Who would have thought that she would actually become a sister-in-law with you?"
There was a smile on Su Hui's face: "My sister-in-law... It's not like you didn't see her face, my mother-in-law must have seen it too, but it wasn't easy at that time, and her face was not good-looking."
Zhao Xialan laughed "hahaha".
"Your sister-in-law is really, as if she cut her flesh." Looking back, she couldn't help laughing again.
"But have you ever used that sewing machine? I haven't used it yet. I didn't dare to touch it when I saw it, for fear of breaking it. I really can't afford it."
Su Hui shook her head: "I haven't used it before."
It’s true that I haven’t used it. There is no such thing as a sewing machine in the cultivation world, and she didn’t have the opportunity to use it before time travel. She always went to the store to buy finished clothes to wear. Unlike now, she basically bought cloth to make clothes by herself. Even the local cloth is woven by itself.
"Then you can try it when you have time. With such a close relationship, she shouldn't reject you."
Su Hui blinked: "You can try it next time."
"If it was earlier, when you make new clothes for your child, you can ask her to borrow them, and try the clothes made by the sewing machine?"
It's the Chinese New Year now, and the new clothes for the children have already been made.
On the other side of the old house, the fight between Zhao Laidi and his sister-in-law, as well as the fight between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Su Hui watched coldly. She is an outsider now, just watch it. Now she needs to focus on her home. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are a lot of things to prepare, because this festival, everyone's anticipation and joy come from the heart, and people unconsciously look forward to it.
Arrived early last year, just separated, didn't have many things, and needed support from her natal family, this year's inventory is very substantial, Su Hui specially made a lot of snacks before Zhang Baoguo sent them to her natal family as a gift in return.
There are also tofu, fried peanuts, fried soybeans, rice cakes, and a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner that are indispensable for the Chinese New Year.
So although the matter of Zhang Gui and Zhou Xiaoqing has added a lot of talk in the village, the big guys still put more energy on the matter of Chinese New Year.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Gen said that for the New Year's Eve meal, he would go to the old house to have a reunion dinner with the big family just like last year, and Su Hui agreed.
That was Zhang Baoguo and the others' grandpa and grandma, and this grandpa was generally acceptable.
She plans to cook one fish as the main dish as last year, and make fried fungus for the other. In addition to these two, she also made homemade pastries, including red date cakes, egg millet cakes, hair cakes, etc., all of which are small. A lot, just enough to eat, only enough for my family to eat for a few days, but the taste is very good, she took out some hair cakes and red date cakes, cut them into small pieces, and after serving them, each person took a bite.
She also asked Zhang Baoguo to give some to Zhang Chengye. It was reasonable for him to exercise with others every day and order some food as a filial piety.
On New Year's Eve, everyone got up early, boiled water for everyone to take a bath after lunch, washed clean and put on new clothes.
Both Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo grew up relatively quickly, and they didn't have enough replacement clothes. Both of them made new clothes to wear outside. Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dinguo were a little depressed. They didn't have them, and they had older brother's old clothes to wear.
When will they be able to wear new clothes outside
After taking a shower, put on new clothes and shoes, all made by their grandmother.
Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo put on new clothes, Zhang Baoguo became more stable, last year he wore new clothes, he couldn't help but went out to show off to his friends, this year he stayed at home steadily, Zhang Baoguo couldn't help but go out, this time Sometimes the big guy wears new clothes once every few years, and he wants to show off to his little friends. Who made them show off to himself before saying that they don't have any.
Hmph, now he'll let them see.
His mother made it, it's so beautiful!
Su Hui didn't seem to make new clothes for herself, but in fact she did, but she made old ones by hand. In the year she first time traveled, the stitching style with holes happened to be popular. Looking back, isn't that the fashion of this era? Everyday
Pinch the waistline and close the cuffs, it is a piece of clothing that is not far from the same but can reflect your figure.
There are many restrictions in this era. After satisfying the appetite, the most inconvenient thing for Su Hui is that she cannot wear nice clothes.
Whether it is the countryside or the city, it is all black, gray and blue.
Looking at the sky, Zhang Baoguo went outside to retrieve the three younger brothers who were playing wildly. Unsurprisingly, the firecrackers given by his mother had been used up, but the clothes were fine, not even soiled, which was obviously cherished.
At this time, the whole village is filled with the smell of food.
Su Hui took the four children and brought the dishes over. Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi were still fighting in the kitchen. Zhou Xiaoqing was not idle either, she was rubbing shredded radish by the side of the kitchen.
Zhang Gen sat on the side, drinking tea slowly.
It's Chinese New Year, make a cup of wild tea, and steal half a day of leisure.
Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui sat beside him in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.
There is not so much entertainment at this time.
"You guys are here!" Zhang Jinhua wiped the sweat off his brow, looked at the new clothes on Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo, and pouted.
He didn't make new clothes this year, but these two cousins did it.
"Hey, Second Sister-in-law, you guys are here. What did you bring? Did you bring a radio?" Zhang Gui's eyes lit up when he saw them coming.
Su Hui shook her head: "No, but I made some snacks, let's try them together later."
"Dim sum? What dim sum?" Hearing about the food, Zhang Fenghua immediately took up the conversation.
Zhang Xihua also jumped over: "Second Aunt, what kind of snacks? What's delicious?"
"Fat cake, jujube cake, I made it myself, try it later and see if it tastes good."
Su Hui put the steamed fish, roasted fungus, and dim sum on the dining table.
Looking at the dim sum, Zhang Fenghua obviously wanted to eat it, but she controlled herself.
The food has always been allocated by grandma, if she dares to eat by herself, scolding will be inevitable.
Zhang Xiaohua also came to the table: "Second Aunt, is it sweet?"
Zhang Fenghua looked at the little girl: "Don't move, you can eat later."
She nodded obediently: "I won't move."
Mo Yang is very well-behaved.
Zhang Dingguo snorted: "It's sweet, with sugar in it, it's delicious." He looked a little proud: "My mother made it."
Zhang Fenghua glanced at him and said slowly, "Oh, my second aunt did it."
Zhang Dingguo: "..."
There seems to be no problem, but why does he feel weird
Zhang Gui also wanted to eat some sweet things, too little, too little, but at this time, he had to wait for everyone to gather. If he moved, his father would definitely say something about him.
He changed the subject back: "Second sister-in-law, why don't you bring your radio over and let's listen to the news together?"
Zhang Gen: "..."
Zhang Quan: "..."
Neither of them spoke, but the expectation was evident in their eyes.
Zhang Gen is okay, he went for a walk when he was free, and he couldn’t understand the language of the news, but occasionally some stations would play songs, and the tune was there, festive. Less, what does it mean for his elder brother to go to his widowed sister-in-law? In order to avoid suspicion, he will basically not go over when nothing happens.
Seeing them like this, Su Hui nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and get it."
Looking at the movement in the kitchen, I knew it wasn't that fast.
Su Hui went back and came over with the radio.
Zhou Xiaoqing was also there, she didn't go to the kitchen to help: "Oh, it's the radio, second sister-in-law, this is a rare thing." She covered her mouth and smiled: "Let's listen, what's the program now?"
She came forward, looking familiar: "Your one is different from what I have tried before, but it doesn't look much different."
After hearing this, Zhang Jinhua asked, "Third Aunt, do you also have a radio at home?"
The smile on Zhou Xiaoqing's face froze slightly: "No, relatives have it." Her natal parents and elder brother have jobs, but the burden is not light. The four big pieces of the family only have bicycles...
Li Manfen came out of the kitchen sweating profusely. Seeing the two daughters-in-law gathered in front of the radio, her temper suddenly flared up.
She is busy in the kitchen, these two are fine, just chatting here, is this what a wife should do
She looked at her two sons again, listening with gusto.
She rolled her eyes angrily. This son is not as caring as his daughter, so he doesn't know how to feel sorry for their mother.
"Come on, let's go, let's go, the food is served." Walking over, seeing the fish, fungus, and snacks on the table, Li Manfen nodded in satisfaction.
She only cooked six dishes this year, took a daughter-in-law, and kept all the good things at home alive, so she took the idea of Liuliu Dashun, and now adding these three, she simply boiled one more Tofu is perfect.
Because Zhang Gui and Zhou Xiaoqing got married, there was not much left of the pigs raised this year that they took home, so this year’s meat is not as "proud" as last year, and it is necessary to carefully remove the vegetables outside to find the meat hidden in it. Meat.
The main course is sliced pork with stuffed taro, followed by stir-fried sour beans, shredded radish with minced meat, stuffed tofu, blanched radish sprouts, and pork bone and seaweed soup.
There was still fish on the table last year, but this year I won't cook it. I rely on the fish brought by Su Hui to make a good fortune every year.
If she didn't bring the fish over, Li Manfen would probably have another opinion.
"Everyone, come and sit down, dinner is ready!" Li Manfen greeted, and as soon as he greeted, the seats were filled up immediately
Zhou Xiaoqing moved her body, it was a little crowded, she looked at Su Hui and the four children, adding another table didn't seem like a lot of room, really.
"This year, the weather will be good, and I hope it will be the same next year. Let us fill our stomachs and be free from disease and disaster!" Zhang Gen said, and moved his chopsticks.
Li Manfen followed closely: "There is an extra person in the family this year, and I hope I will have a grandson next year."
It was obvious who she was talking to, and Zhou Xiaoqing's face turned red all of a sudden.
This, this is how to say it, a countryman is a countryman!
Zhang Gui chuckled: "I will work hard!"
Zhou Xiaoqing: "..." She gave him a firm hand on the waist.
Caught off guard, Zhang Gui gasped, his face contorted.
Li Manfen knocked on the table: "What are you doing, I don't know how distressed you are."
Zhang Gui's complexion immediately recovered, and he put on a relaxed look: "Mom, I'm just kidding with her. Come on, we're starting. Mom, you've worked hard too. Come on, eat meat!" He gave her the first chopsticks Made a slice of meat.
Li Manfen smiled: "I know you are sensible, you can eat by yourself, you have worked hard."
Others have accelerated the frequency of using chopsticks: "..."
The same goes for Zhou Xiaoqing.
Meat is not available at any time, and it will be gone if the chopsticks are put down late.
A silent "confrontation" ended, and everyone filled their stomachs, drank soup contentedly, and smoothed their bowels.
There was no rush to clean up the dishes on the table.
Zhang Fenghua ate jujube cake contentedly, one piece for each, and she wanted to eat slowly.
Zhang Xihua and Zhang Xiaohua acted very quickly, and they ate it in two bites. Although they couldn't recollect it carefully, their past experience told them that what they eat is their own.
Zhang Jinhua looked at the empty plate with regret.
No more, one piece per person, no more than one piece.
Li Manfen hasn't eaten that piece yet. In her bowl, seeing her eldest grandson like this, she took it over: "You haven't eaten enough, grandma will give you this piece."
Zhou Xiaoqing took a sip of the soup, feeling a little disdainful, she ate it, but it wasn't very tasty, the sugar was not enough, the rice noodles were not fine enough, and the taste was not as good as the one sold by the supply and marketing cooperative at her home.
It's just that the supply and marketing cooperatives here don't sell it, which makes it a little strange.
Thinking like this, Zhou Xiaoqing has already ignored the fact that few people here can occasionally go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy snacks and toothbrush festivals.
Once a year is fine.
Zhang Gen cleared his throat: "Second daughter-in-law, after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the third son will start a house, let me tell you."
Su Hui nodded: "I see."
Zhang Weiguo wowed: "Are you going to build a house? Where are you building a new house?"
Zhang Gui chuckled: "The room I live in now is empty next to it."
Zhang Gen: "Baoguo, come help and take care of the food." The second grandson is also a young adult, so he must eat a lot, and eating can also reduce some stress.
Li Manfen glared at him, have you discussed it with me? I don't know if a half-child eats a poor man? His family is not without food!
Su Hui understood Zhang Gen's kindness, but she declined politely: "No, the child is growing up, and it's not easy to do heavy work. If it's not right, it's easy to grow crooked. It's not good if it doesn't grow taller or hunchback."
Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi couldn't help looking at Zhang Jinhua, with the same thought in their minds: Really? Fortunately, the construction has not started yet, and the grandson/son was not asked to help!
Zhang Gen nodded, indicating that he understood: "Then I won't come, you have to come and help cook a meal when you are free, and I will invite others to help."
Su Hui smiled slightly: "I know."
Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui both helped her when she built the house, but now it's Zhang Gui's turn to build the house, she won't just watch.
However, at that time, Zhang Gui was detained by Zhang Gen to help, and she didn't care about her work, she also remembered it clearly.
At this time, Zhang Anguo looked left and right, ran to Zhou Xiaoqing, and raised his head obediently: "Auntie, you have a sewing machine, can I go and have a look at it?" He only looked at it once from a distance.
Zhang Dingguo also ran over, and raised his face exactly like his brother's: "Auntie, I want to see it too, what does it look like?"
Zhou Xiaoqing didn't want to. Children of this age like to move around and don't know how to behave. If they accidentally break it, can their mother afford it
