In previous years, the Song family had a difficult time, and the Yuan and Hu families did not dare to come to pay New Year's greetings. They were afraid that the old Yuan family would waste time organizing the food and entertainment, and one more person would only need one more bite to eat, which was just a meal.
They felt sorry for Old Yuan's aunt, so they prepared a lot of New Year's greetings, but only one or two people came every year.
Different people come, like the Yuan family, either Yuan Hua brings his son, or Yuan Cheng brings his son.
In short, there will definitely not be too many people coming.
But this year, Old Yuan asked for invitations early, and everyone wanted to come, no matter the big ones or the small ones.
Both of you went back to your parents’ home yesterday on the second day of the Lunar New Year. No other relatives are leaving today, so it’s just right for them all to come together.
The Yuan family was closer. Even though there was no car, the family got up early and packed up before setting off. They were all able to walk by themselves. It was a quick walk all the way, so they were the first to arrive.
As soon as they arrived at Song's house, the Yuan Cheng brothers gave New Year's greetings to the old Yuan family. The Xiang family's sisters-in-law were not idle either. They rolled up their sleeves and went to help in the kitchen without seeing anyone else.
When the guests came, Old Yuan did not go into the kitchen to help, but stayed in the house to talk with Yuan Shuanzi and the others.
Yuan Zhizhi and his children couldn't sit still, so they grabbed melon seeds and candies and ate them, then ran out to play. They didn't run far, so there was no need to worry.
The Hu family was a little further away, and they had two little kids with them. There wasn't enough room in the oxcart, so half of them had to walk, so it was a bit slow to get there.
When Song Qiu arrived, the food was almost ready.
After everyone had taken a breath and rested, Song Qiucai, along with Aling and Yuan Daping, set up three tables in the yard.
Fortunately, it is a sunny day today, the sun is shining, and the sun is shining in the Song family yard, so it is not too cold, but rather warm.
There really isn't room for them in the stove, but luckily they are all relatives and don't have to be particular about it.
But while Song Qiu was busy, he was also thinking in his mind that he really had to build a new house quickly, otherwise he would have to do something by then, which would be inconvenient at all.
Everyone helped put the food on the table. The men sat at one table and drank, the women sat at another table, and the children sat at another table. It was very lively.
Song Qiu brought out fruit and rice wine that was not intoxicating, and placed a small jar on the table for the women and children, who had a great time drinking.
In the small yard, three tables were full. Everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing. It was really lively.
The women and children ate quickly. After they finished eating, they helped clear the two tables and waited for the men's table to continue drinking. Xiang's wives helped wash the dishes, and Lao Yuan and others sat in the yard to bask in the sun and eat.
Melon seeds for leisure.
Similarly, when the excitement subsides, it will be almost past the application time.
Old Yuan took out a stack of red envelopes that she had prepared a long time ago. Starting from the Yuan family, up to Yuan Daping, who was engaged but not yet married, and down to Yuan Sanping, everyone got a red envelope, and the Hu family
Bian, Hu Mengsheng, and three younger ones, all intact.
Everyone happily accepted the red envelope and then followed the adults to say goodbye and leave.
After leaving the village, Yuan Sanping couldn't help but couldn't wait to open the red seal, and immediately shouted, "Wow! What a beautiful little pig!"
When everyone took a look, there was actually a silver pig inside the red envelope, which was about the size of a thumb. It looked solid at first glance, and there were quite a few of them!
Xiang Shi slapped him on the back of the head, "You kid! How can you open the red seal and read it!"
Yuan Sanping curled his lips, "I just feel the difference, I'm just curious!"
How can any little child bear to hold the red seal in his hand without opening it?
Let's not talk about him. Over at the Hu family, Hu Yusheng's four-year-old daughter Nini looked at Yuan Sanping, the silver pig, and her eyes became greedy. She quickly opened the red seal and said, "It's a rabbit! Mine is a rabbit!"
Well, except for the two big ones, Hu Mengsheng and Yuan Daping, the others couldn't bear to open the red seals and look at them. Without exception, they were all silver ingots such as tigers, chickens, and oxen.
All of them are solid and look different in your hand.
Yuan Shuanzi looked at it and couldn't help but said happily: "My eldest sister, her hard work has finally come to an end! Xiaoquan is watching below, I'm afraid I can rest in peace."
Mrs. Hu Yuan also nodded secretly.
Their three biological sisters, all the way down, saw with their own eyes how difficult it was for the eldest sister.
Now that Aqiu is so promising, doesn’t it mean that all the hardships have come to an end?
Good luck is yet to come.
They are sincerely happy to be brothers and sisters.
It's just that they all inevitably feel a little regretful that Fusheng and his wife left too early.
It would be great if we were still here today and had a complete family.
Old Mrs. Yuan was also thinking about this matter. It was rare that her relatives gathered together in such a lively and lively atmosphere today, and she was happy to see them.
When she was alone in the room after a break, Old Yuan couldn't help but pull out three tablets and look at them, not to mention how sad she felt.
If her wife was still alive and well, if her son and daughter-in-law were still here, she would rather live a few years shorter.
What a pity, God, why did you accept them so early?
Today's life is so wonderful, but they can only watch and cannot enjoy it.
Because she was thinking about something, Old Yuan didn't sleep well all night. The next day when Song Qiu got up and no one was up, she couldn't help but worry and went into the house to see what was going on.
As a result, I saw the man lying motionless on the bed. When he touched his forehead, he felt that he had a fever.
In this new year, I am sick, but it is not good.
Song Qiu was extremely anxious and quickly asked Aling, who was running fast, to go to the village chief's house to invite Uncle Mingde.
Aling was also worried about her grandma, so she directly used Qinggong, and with a few whizzes, she flew from the sky above the village all the way to the courtyard of the village chief's house.
"Uncle Mingde! Please come with me and have a look! My grandma has a fever!" Aling fell to the ground, and when he saw Tang Mingde in the room, he hurried forward to pull him away.
As soon as Tang Mingde heard that Mr. Yuan was ill, he was so busy that he decided to go with Aling.
Unexpectedly, someone next to him grabbed him and said, "Hey! Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis! Mingde, I came to call you first! No matter what, you have to go see the bridge with me first!"
Tang Mingde was dragged by Mrs. Cao and could not walk for a while.
Only then did Aling pay attention to Mrs. Cao. Hearing this, she also came to see Uncle Mingde for medical treatment, and came before her.
But she was worried about her grandma, but no matter how much she did, she dragged Tang Mingde and went outside, "Uncle Mingde, my breasts are very feverish, but there is no need to delay. You come with me first!"
A Ling exerted all her strength, but Mrs. Cao could not bear it. She immediately took off her hand and told Tang Mingde to slide out.
She was so angry that she quickly chased after her, "You damn girl! But I came to shout first! Are there any rules?"
"Mingde! You have to come with me first! My bridge cannot be delayed! This is fatal!"
The village chief's wife on the side saw Mrs. Cao stalking her and trying to catch her son. How could she delay in this matter of life and death?
He rushed over and stopped the person, "Daqiao is young, what's wrong with being delayed for a while? His Aunt Yuan is old, and a fever like this is a fatal thing! Just wait a little longer, and I'll go to your house to see it later."
!”
Granny Cao was being dragged, and when she saw Tang Mingde following Aling out to Song's house, she slapped her thigh anxiously, "Oh! Who doesn't want his life! My bridge is also a life-threatening matter!"
"Then tell me, what's wrong with the bridge? Is he also sick?" The village chief's mother-in-law is also a little suspicious. Whoever comes to see a doctor can't tell you clearly when he comes up. Whether he is sick or injured, but this mother-in-law Cao has been here for a long time.
, he just kept trying to pull Mingde away, and he didn't say anything about it, which made him feel weird and panicked.
