"My sister-in-law called two days ago and said that Yuanyuan will appear at your party, so let us watch on time!"
Jiang Shujuan turned on the TV, and when she turned it on, it was a gala party. It was really famous movie stars singing songs, and it was booming. Old Mrs. Liu stared at the TV for a while and asked casually.
"What does your niece do?"
"Yuanyuan is an art soldier of the art troupe!"
"Old Mrs. Liu said oh, she didn't ask anything, she kept watching the TV. After waiting for half an hour, Jiang Shujuan spoke up, her voice was still a little excited, although with the Jiang family's family background, the Jiang family are all qualified to enter.
Watching the live broadcast of the gala at the venue, this is the first time for the children of the Jiang family to perform on stage. Jiang Shujuan is naturally excited. After all, if her mother-in-law is good, she will be better!
"Mom, the girl in the center of the stage is my niece Jiang Yuanyuan!" As soon as she saw Jiang Yuan on the stage, Jiang Shujuan excitedly pointed at Jiang Yuan to Mrs. Liu!
Old Mrs. Liu took a closer look and saw that she was indeed a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She was quite handsome, but she still couldn't compare to her precious granddaughter. Of course she would not say this out loud!
"A very iconic little girl!"
"No, Yuanyuan has loved singing and dancing since she was a child. When she grew up, she joined the art troupe and never failed to do so, just to be able to stand on the stage of the party. This was all based on her own strength!"
"This girl is great!"
Old Mrs. Liu nodded, but she was not very optimistic about it. However, she had never seen Jiang Yuan in person, so she couldn't rely on it. She just said something salty, Jiang Shujuan might be immersed in Jiang Yuan's appearance at the gala.
The joy on the stage did not notice Mrs. Liu's perfunctory behavior, and she watched her niece's performance attentively!
Zhou Aimei at the scene also looked at her daughter on the stage with a smile, and said to her husband Jiang Shen, "You see, our Yuanyuan has really grown up. Now we are all grown up girls, and this stage performance is...
I asked for it by name, and your daughter is not bad at all!"
Jiang Shen nodded. He naturally liked Jiang Yuan as his daughter. Although Yuanyuan was a little willful, there was nothing wrong with her. Moreover, this time she also earned a lot of face for the old Jiang family, so he was naturally not unhappy.
of!
"Go back and reward her well. Yuanyuan is worthy of being the daughter of our Jiang family!"
"That's for sure. Yuanyuan has put a lot of thought into this election, otherwise she wouldn't have been appointed by the superiors!"
Jiang Shen nodded, and suddenly thought of something, Jiang Shen said to Zhou Aimei, "My sister's family will come over tomorrow, and the old lady from the in-laws will also come with her. When she goes back, prepare some cakes and place them in Yuanyuan. You must keep an eye on them.
, can’t be embarrassed!”
"I know, you don't have to say it!"
Zhou Aimei nodded. She didn't like or dislike her sister-in-law's family. At first, she was disdainful of her sister-in-law marrying a rural soldier. However, in recent years, Liu Aidang has been promoted quickly and has excellent abilities. Gu family, on the other hand,
It made her change a lot, so she is much more enthusiastic towards her sister-in-law and her family than before!
As for Yuanyuan's thoughts, she was definitely not sure. It seemed that she would have to find a way to get Yuanyuan to avoid Liu Yiyue tomorrow. Otherwise, if something happened, their family would lose face, not to mention
My sister-in-law's mother-in-law is coming over tomorrow, so naturally she won't let anyone take care of her.
"Prepare four greeting gifts!"
Zhou Aimei nodded, needless to say she would be ready in this regard!
On the second day of the first lunar month, it is the custom of returning to your natal family in most parts of country Z. Folks believe that a married daughter cannot return to her natal family on the first day of the lunar month. Returning will make her natal family poor. She can only return to her natal family after the second day of the lunar month. Marry
The daughters who went out took their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Noodles are eaten on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and some places interpret this to mean welcoming a daughter back home. It is forbidden to do laundry on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year. Legend has it that these two days are the birthdays of the Water God, so laundry is prohibited.
Noodles for the second grade of junior high school are also very particular. It is said that the noodles for the second grade of junior high school should be made from the dumpling noodles from the first grade of junior high school. And the noodles must be made with cold soup. That is, the noodles should be cooked and soaked in cold water.
It is called cold soup. Nowadays, people usually braise or fry some sauce to make braised noodles or fried noodles. However, they must be soaked in cold water to retain the custom of "noodles for the second grade of junior high school".
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a married daughter has to go back to her parents' home, and her husband has to accompany her, so it is commonly known as the day to welcome her son-in-law. When she goes home, she has to bring gifts, which are called bringing hands or accompanying hands.
On this day, the daughter who returns to her natal family must bring some gifts and red envelopes to distribute to the children of her natal family, and have lunch at her natal family's home. When a daughter returns to her natal family, it is forbidden to return an odd number as an odd number. Traditionally, it is considered unlucky for a son-in-law to bring back gifts from her natal family.
Must be in pairs.
Not only that, in the past, families would also choose this day to take a family photo. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, children would carry carp lanterns to ask for good wishes.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the beginning of the four seasons. People regard earlyness as the most important thing, as they will achieve something early and take the lead in everything. After people get up early, they will set off firecrackers early, open the door of good fortune early, welcome the God of Wealth and Joy early, and go out early to kowtow to celebrate the New Year.
On the "Fourth Beginning" day, people no longer pay attention to the word "morning", so there is a saying that "the fifth watch is on the first day of the new year, and the sun is red on the second day of the new year".
Early the next morning, Mrs. Liu and Jiang Shujuan got up early to get ready. Liu Yiyi and the others also got up early. Liu Aidang borrowed a car from the army early and planned to drive to the city to see his father-in-law. And this time
This is also his mother's first visit to the Chiang family. Liu Aidang will naturally not be late. The preparations that need to be made were done last night. All he needs to do is confirm today!
After everything was ready, the family was ready to set off. Before setting off, Liu Yiyue suddenly couldn't say anything anymore, but he had a legitimate reason, that is, Hao Zhengyi was alone in the dormitory, and he couldn't leave his comrades alone. Xu
Knowing her niece's thoughts about Liu Yiyue, Jiang Shujuan had no objection, and neither did Liu Aidang. Only Liu Yiyi glanced thoughtfully at Liu Yiyue as he left, feeling as if he had overlooked something!
Liu Yiyue breathed a sigh of relief after the car left. Thinking of the clinging woman from the Jiang family, Liu Yiyue felt his head grow bigger. He didn't like being called "Miss" like that!
"Hey, buddy, why don't you go to pay New Year greetings? Are you really here to accompany me?"
Hao Zhengyi put a hand on Liu Yiyue's shoulder and said calmly, "Still, our Company Commander Liu is afraid of Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the Jiang family. This is big news!"
"You kid, please stop here. The reputation of your daughter's family is not nonsense. Be careful of the Jiang family causing trouble for you. You must know that you can't protect yourself now!"
"Tch, that's because I don't want to argue with them!" Hao Zhengyi curled his lips. Thinking of the bad things that happened to the Hao family, he simply ignored them, "Why don't we go and do it again? My hands are itchy!"
"Yeah?"
Liu Yiyue sneered, and then wailing sounds came from the army playground, but no one paid attention. Such sounds are often heard in the army!
Zhou Aimei got up early in the morning and cleaned up the inside and outside of Jiang's house. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law also got up early to wait. Although she told them to rest for a while, it would still take a while for the younger sister and the others to arrive, because today the younger sister
When her mother-in-law came over, she didn't go back to her parents' home and asked Yuanyuan to go back alone. As for her son, he didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, so he couldn't accompany his daughter back to her parents' home.
"Mom and Dad, please do it first. My younger sister and brother-in-law are still waiting for a while. Didn't they say they would come over at ten o'clock? It's only nine o'clock now and there is still an hour left. You want to eat something!"
"It's okay. I'm not hungry. I drank a bowl of porridge when I got up in the morning. How can I still eat now?" Liang Shouxiu took a sip of tea and said, "Aimei, look at what else you haven't prepared. This is the first time for my in-laws.
We can't be rude when we come to the door, and we can't let them underestimate the Jiang family!"
"Okay, I've seen this so many times, and you have such an outrageous attitude. That's my daughter's in-laws' family. What's the matter? You still want to overpower her? What will Shujuan do!"
Jiang Weiguo looked impatiently as he watched his wife get up early in the morning and get dressed up. She said she was going to meet her mother-in-law and dressed up specially. How could he not know what his wife was thinking? After so many years, this idea has not changed. Isn't it because he disliked Liu?
My family is from a rural area. Although Liu Aidang is now prosperous, he still feels that his daughter is marrying at a low age. Moreover, when Yizhe was born a few years ago, the Liu family only gave away things and no one came, so the old woman has always been dissatisfied.
, I just hope that nothing unpleasant will happen this time, otherwise it won’t be her daughter who suffers, why can’t she figure it out!
While Liang Shouxiu was waiting anxiously, Mrs. Liu and the others finally arrived. As soon as Liu Yizhe got off the car, he ran into the Jiang family's yard with familiarity. He shouted loudly outside the yard, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm here to see you!"
"
When Liang Shouxiu in the room heard that it was his precious grandson, he couldn't sit still and trotted out. Jiang Weiguo also stood up and walked out. After all, it was the first time for his in-laws to come to the door, so they still had to be more respectful!
As soon as Liang Shouxiu came out, she was bumped into by her grandson Liu Yizhe; Liang Shouxiu took advantage of the situation on the first floor, and his sweetheart screamed lustfully. When he saw the figure of his daughter, he put down his grandson and went up to greet him with a smile on his face. He greeted her with great enthusiasm.
Said, "My mother-in-law has a great New Year!"
Mrs. Liu also said hello with a smile, "My mother-in-law, please don't mind if you come to visit me so late!"
Liang Shouxiu said that she didn't mind, but Mrs. Liu didn't want to know what she was thinking. She smiled like a close sister, and Jiang Weiguo next to her also greeted her with a smile on her face!
"My mother-in-law still looks so young!"
But no, compared to Jiang Weiguo and Liang Shouxiu, Mrs. Liu looks much younger. This is all the credit of Liu Yiyi!
Old Mrs. Liu waved her hands with a smile, "My father-in-law is joking, we rural people can compare with your cadres, but you and my mother-in-law look younger!"
"Okay, this is not the place to talk. Let's go in quickly. It's cold outside. Let's go in first to warm up!"
Liang Shouxiu held Mrs. Liu with one hand and her grandson Liu Yizhe with the other, and the others followed suit! (To be continued)
