Dong Nuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Dong Sanchun doesn't care much about the situation in the old house now. It's probably because they haven't been separated in these years and have been spending time together every day, so the brotherly bond has long been worn away.
Therefore, now that we are separated, winter and spring do not miss each other, but I feel relaxed.
It was already very late when I came back, it was cold and dark, so I drank ginger soup and ate something before crawling back to sleep.
Not wanting to affect their sleep, Dong Yao slept with Sister Dong Nuan tonight.
After the New Year, Dong Yao became one year older and started to feel like a little man.
Now, when he first slept with his sisters, he was a little embarrassed, but this did not affect him from sleeping like a pig in the end.
The next day, in winter and spring, I still went to help, but in fact I couldn't help much, I just looked good.
No matter what, they are all sons and daughters, and nothing can happen to them. They are still from the same village, and no one from their family has any children.
It's such a cold day, it's really hard.
Mother Liao's funeral took three days and she was buried on the third day.
The tombs in the village are all located in a part of Beishan, where each ethnic group is surrounded by itself. Although they are not far apart, they do not disturb each other.
Usually when everyone goes up the mountain, they try to avoid that area as much as possible. The ancients were very particular about ghosts and gods, so no one wants to go to that area to avoid collision.
Mother Liao's funeral is over and the New Year has arrived.
This trivial matter will not affect everyone’s joy in welcoming the New Year at all.
After all, the new year brings new signs and new meanings. Everyone wants to seek good luck, but they don’t want to get into any bad luck at this time.
Therefore, this matter was soon revealed.
In the morning of her thirties, Dong Nuan got up early and started helping.
Normally I can be a hands-off shopkeeper, but during the New Year I still have to be more hands-on.
Dong Sanchun asked Dong Nuan if she wanted to invite Hanjianglou to celebrate the New Year with their family.
The other party was alone, looking alone, so he called everyone over and it was lively even though there were many people there.
Dong Nuan didn't make a decision privately, she just nodded: "I'll go and ask."
Dong Nuan put down the firewood he was chopping and went to find Hanjiang Tower.
Dong Yao was still sweeping the yard. When he saw that Dong Nuan stopped chopping firewood, he thought for a while and ran over to give it a try.
As a result, after picking up the ax, the first blow hit the wood pile.
Dong Yao:?
"That's not right, I've been aiming for a long time..." Dong Yao was not convinced, and then tried a few more times.
He didn't know how to use clever skills, he only used brute force. After a few times, he lost his strength and couldn't lift the axe.
Dong Sanchun looked aside for a long time, without giving any pointers, just slapping his thigh and laughing.
Mrs. Dong Wu didn't pay attention. She got up early and was chopping stuffing, kneading noodles, and preparing other things.
At noon, they need to go to the old house to have dinner together as a family, and then go back to their own small home to eat in the evening.
She not only had to prepare things to bring back to her old home at noon, but also prepared various ingredients for them to make dumplings in the evening.
I was so busy that I couldn't turn around in the morning, so I naturally couldn't pay attention to Dong Yao, so I didn't know that the stupid boy was being cheated by his father.
Dong Yao was so exhausted that he finally sat down on the ground. Feeling that the ground was too cold, he quickly got up and went to sweep the yard dejectedly.
Dong Sanchun laughed until she almost gave up, but she didn't give any advice to Dong Yao.
Dong Yao rolled his eyes, not wanting to talk to his father.
When Dong Nuan went to call Hanjianglou, the other party was also preparing things for the New Year.
Although we are alone, the Chinese New Year should be more lively.
"Nuan Ya is here." Seeing Dong Nuan coming over, Hanjiang Tower didn't pay much attention to it because of the cold weather, so he took Dong Nuan into the house as he spoke.
The firewood in his room was burning brightly, and it was just right for warming up.
Dong Nuan was not polite. After entering, he nestled by the stove and watched Hanjiang Tower busy.
"My father said that he wants you to join us in the evening to celebrate the New Year. It will be more lively. Do you want to go?" Dong Nuan asked directly without turning around.
Hanjianglou thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I have everything ready."
Over the years, Hanjiang Tower has long been used to being alone, so he has no desire to join in the fun.
Moreover, if he goes there by himself, those children will definitely have to be restrained. Seeing that they have been pretty good to Dongnuan recently, Hanjianglou feels that he does not need to go there and make things difficult for them.
Of course, if they get into their old ways, don't blame Hanjiang Tower for being rude.
"Yeah." Dong Nuan didn't force it. Knowing that Hanjiang Tower refused, she nodded.
While warming up over the fire, we ate various snacks prepared by Hanjiang Tower.
"Wow, did you do that?"
"Did you do this too?"
"Did you bake it?"
"Wow! You are amazing!"
…
Dong Nuan was very surprised when he looked at what Hanjiang Tower had prepared.
After all, I...
Can't cook.
Of course, theoretical knowledge is still full marks.
Let her do it with her mouth, she will definitely be the first.
But just do it...
Forget it, stop talking, it costs the kitchen.
"Well, which one do you like Nuan Ya? I'll make it after you finish it." Hanjianglou's craftsmanship is average, but he is making steady progress. After all, he still needs to raise a child (...).
Seeing that Dong Nuan was eating well, he kept asking questions about this and that.
Dong Nuan was not polite either. While he said it was delicious, he also did not forget to give an objective evaluation.
Hanjianglou keeps everything in mind and works hard to find progress and changes.
"I have to go back. I have to go back to my old house for lunch at noon." Dong Nuan saw that it was almost dark and she had to go back.
Hanjiang Tower didn't stay either, and sent her out of the fence gate all the way: "Pay more attention to that side. If you feel bad about it, don't indulge them. If you can't beat them, come back and tell me..."
Hanjianglou is really like an old father watching his children go out. He just wants to pack himself up and put it in Dongnuan's pocket to feel relieved.
Dong Nuan was not impatient and responded one by one before returning home.
After returning home, I didn't have time to prepare anything else. I just changed my clothes, and then the family went to the old house with their things.
When they come to the old house to have dinner and celebrate the New Year, they must bring something with them.
After all, now that the family is separated, it's not the time to eat from a big pot, just bring it with your mouth.
Since we don't live together, we don't know what is prepared in the other rooms.
Mrs. Dong Wu also asked around, referring to other people's standards for what they would bring back to their old house during the Chinese New Year, and then prepared some ingredients. Of course, she also carried a few copper coins. If it didn't work, she would use copper coins to make up for it.
After arriving, Mrs. Dong Wu realized that what she had received seemed a bit rich, and she immediately outshone the others.
This made the second uncle's face look very ugly, but she didn't want to be at a disadvantage, so she immediately raised her voice and said: "Oh, the third brother's family has become prosperous in the past six months. It's right to bring more things and respect your parents."
It's okay if she doesn't speak, but when she does, Wu will be unhappy!
