Su Yuewei has always been sensitive to other people's eyes, and her little eyes suddenly hurt her heart.
She is not as rich as Su Yueling, and she is already married. It is good to prepare this New Year's gift, and she has tried her best. Do these people need to look at her like this? The New Year's gift they prepared for their mother's family can't
How good is it?
After all, doesn't he just dislike her for being poor? No matter how rich Su Yueling is, as long as Yuan Suijun dies, those properties will sooner or later be unable to be saved. She is different. Her poverty is temporary now. In the future, she can take advantage of Cheng Wang and become an official.
Madam, won’t you also be able to promote your mother’s family by then?
Unfortunately, these people are all frogs in the well, and they only see the petty profit in front of them.
Mrs. Su Liao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and waved her hand, "Okay, I know you are busy, so go back quickly." She couldn't help but stabbed, "Don't delay your service to Cheng Wang."
Su Yuewei's face turned pale and she managed to remain calm, "Then I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you in the second grade of junior high school."
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the daughter who has left home returns to her parents' home.
Su Tianbao asked: "Sister, will my brother-in-law come then? I have some questions to ask my brother-in-law."
Su Yuewei knew that her husband had been studying hard recently, so that he could beat Yuan Suijun in next year's provincial examination and become the first person to be elected in Lushan Village. As a good wife, she took care of all his trivial matters.
, try not to let him be affected by worldly things.
Under such circumstances, how could she ask her husband to accompany her back to her parents' home? Wouldn't that be a waste of Cheng Wang's time? Maybe Tianbao would push even further and let Cheng Wang guide him. And she could vaguely sense Cheng Wang's inner feelings.
Wang is not happy with her mother's family. This is no wonder Cheng Wang, who allowed her to have such a pair of embarrassing parents.
She made her voice sound gentler, "Chengwang has been obsessed with learning these days and has no time to go out."
When Su Tianbao heard this, he showed a disappointed expression.
Yuan Suifeng said: "If you have time, you can also come to Lushan Village and ask my brother."
Anyway, except for the Chinese New Year break, Su Tianbao usually has two days off at most every month he studies. Even if he comes to ask for advice from his eldest brother, he will last for a month and a day, and it really won't interfere with his eldest brother's study.
He himself often takes leave from his elder brother at home. Even if he is reviewing textbooks, he does not miss a day. His elder brother still reads and writes story books on weekdays. According to his sister-in-law, this is called a balance between work and rest.
Therefore, Yuan Suifeng really didn't understand why Su Yuewei refused. If Su Tianbao could do well in the scientific examination, it would be good for Su Yuewei. At least the Zhang family would not dare to boss her around like that and treat her like a servant.
Su Tianbao, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became happy, "Then I will go find my brother-in-law during the first month of the year."
Yuan Suifeng successfully helped his sister-in-law gain a reputation and went back happily.
Although Mrs. Su Liao was a little angry at her daughter's behavior, her anger was calmed down by her niece's filial piety. Instead, she happily took the silk and thought about making a new set for her son while there was still time.
So only Su Yuewei's injured world was achieved.
…
On New Year's Eve, every household in Lushan Village posted red couplets.
The couplets posted by the Yuan family were not bought in the county town, but were all written by Yuan Suijun himself. He had great literary talent and could write dozens of non-repetitive couplets in one breath. His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, like a dragon and a phoenix.
Compared to modern times, the New Year celebrations in this era are undoubtedly more festive, with the sound of firecrackers coming from outside from time to time. In previous years, villagers might not have been willing to spend money to buy firecrackers, but this year is different.
The aroma of meat permeates every household.
In Lushan Village, there is a custom of eating dumplings during the New Year, and they also stuff the dumplings with copper coins. If you bite a copper coin, you will have good luck in the year.
This custom is somewhat similar to the ancient times in her world. It is said that it was passed down from the founding ancestor.
The more Su Yueling looked at the great ancestor of Daxia, the more she felt like he was a time traveler. Unfortunately, the Yuan family's books didn't contain much information about this great ancestor, so she couldn't find out more about it, so she could only draw pictures slowly.
That’s it.
"It's okay to stuff copper coins, but the coins must be washed in clean water more than ten times, and they have to be boiled in boiling water several times, or at least five times."
Otherwise, I don’t know how many people have passed this copper coin. As a person with mysophobia, she would not touch a single dumpling unless she asked her to do so.
The people of the Yuan family have long been accustomed to Su Yueling's demands. They do whatever Su Yueling tells them.
Because other jobs are done by servants, Yuan Baoshu doesn't need to wrap the dumplings like before. She only needs to wrap the dumplings. She is very good at adjusting the fillings of the dumplings. She used to make them herself every New Year.
The habit of feeding dumplings to my two brothers has been preserved. It feels like something is missing if I don’t make some dumplings myself before the Chinese New Year.
She asked Su Yueling, "Sister-in-law, do you want to make dumplings with me? We can stuff the copper coins into the dumplings."
Su Yueling originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it. She had never made dumplings in her whole life, so she might give it a try.
"Okay, since you sincerely invited me, I will promise you this time."
Yuan Baoshu snickered and had several basins filled with fillings brought over. As for the dumpling wrappers, she rolled them out together with several cooks in the morning.
There are several kinds of fillings. Su Yueling only eats leek, egg and mutton fillings, so she only makes these two.
She enthusiastically placed the dumpling wrapper in her palm, scooped out two spoonfuls of the filling, and then imitated Yuan Baoshu and started wrapping it - when she pinched it, the dumpling wrapper was overwhelmed and immediately cracked.
Su Yueling's expression also cracked.
“This dumpling wrapper is too thin!”
It couldn't be her fault, it must be the dumpling wrapper.
Yuan Baoshu suppressed a smile, "Yes, I thought people might prefer thinner skin with more fillings, so I rolled it out a little thinner."
Su Yueling was satisfied and continued to try the second one.
This one is not broken, but the belly is extremely dry and flat, and looks particularly stunted compared to the ones Yuan Baoshu had.
"This is the first time my sister-in-law can do this. She is already very talented." Yuan Baoshu praised her sister-in-law.
Su Yueling became confident again, "I think so too."
She made more than 20 dumplings before giving up. After satisfying her initial curiosity, she lost her patience. Basically, the dumplings made by Su Yueling were very easy to recognize. The strange thing was that the dumplings she made didn't run away.
Su Yueling washed her hands and went to read the books on the bookshelf.
At 1:00 p.m., the New Year's Eve banquet has been prepared, and before eating, one has to pay homage to the ancestors. As the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family celebrating the New Year, Su Yueling also has to offer incense to the ancestors of the Yuan family.
In fact, Su Yueling didn't believe this, but that didn't stop her from burning some incense and pretending that she still knew how to do it.
Yuan Baoshu knew that her sister-in-law and her brother were still sleeping in separate rooms, but she only thought it was because of her brother's poor health.
So she prayed quietly to her ancestors.
"I hope my brother will recover and that my sister-in-law will have a baby soon."
Although her voice was quiet, she couldn't help but it was so quiet now that even small sounds could be heard.
Su Yueling: "..."
It was impossible for her to give birth. She was the one who wanted to go home.
[Host, giving birth to children for your husband is what a virtuous wife should do.]
Su Yueling understood.
[Okay, when I have time, I will find a partner for him to have children with. 】
