It snowed for the first time, and then several moderate snows fell in succession. The weather became colder and colder, but the whole village of Da'ao was very happy. Today this family is killing New Year's pigs, and tomorrow that family is killing New Year's pigs, just like celebrating the New Year.
Su Liu and the others were also invited to eat several meals of pig-killing rice.
In mid-November, the weather was sunny and the north wind was cold. Su Liu and the others bought thirty kilograms of pork belly from various families to make bacon, some of which they planned to keep for their own consumption, and some of which were given as New Year gifts.
Bacon, coloring, and stringing, the small yard was full of laughter, and the strips of bacon were hung on the bamboo poles on the porch, it was so spectacular.
"In previous years, we also had bacon at my old house, but they were given to your grandma's relatives, and your aunt, so we will try it during the Chinese New Year." Mrs. Chen said to her while hanging the bacon.
said the two girls.
"We can eat whenever we want this year." Su Liu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter when."
"Yes, Aunt Lin also said that our family feels like celebrating the New Year every day." Su Xiao said with a smile.
Ms. Chen grinned, her life was getting better. It was no longer like before when they only had good meat to eat during the Chinese New Year. Now it was really meaty every day.
"I heard that the two pigs raised in the old house were sold." Su Liu said again.
The people at the old house were desperate to find a wife for Su Fusheng, so they sold the two extremely fat pigs they raised. I heard that Su Changsheng was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Your eldest sister-in-law said that she was selected from Mohe Town. She is very handsome. I heard that my grandfather was still a scholar, but the family is in decline. Now he only has a sick little brother and a mother, but he is poor.
." Mrs. Chen lowered her voice and said, "That's why I asked for a bride price of five taels of silver."
Su Liu opened his eyes wide. Five taels was considered a very large betrothal gift in the countryside.
"Then they are willing?"
"How can you refuse? The second child likes you. I heard she's even prettier than the girl from the Bai family, with tender skin." Mrs. Chen cheered and said, "They don't dare to drag you on any longer.
, I made a request and wanted to get married before the year before."
"So urgent?"
It's already the middle of the year, and the Chinese New Year is only a month and a half away. It's very urgent to prepare for a marriage.
"Both families are in a hurry, and that family is also very poor. If there are fewer people, there will be less food. Oh, be more anxious. After all, it is better to have a daughter-in-law to celebrate the New Year." Mrs. Chen sighed.
"That's true. I don't know what date it was set for?" Su Liu chuckled.
"If I look at it, it should be a good day on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, with some pun intended.
Su Liu didn't understand, and her face turned red.
"Don't be ashamed. He took it into consideration and asked the Third Master to make this Baoshan. It's a sign of your dignity." Seeing her blushing, Mrs. Chen sat down next to her and said:
"The house is capped today, so let's build up the furniture too."
Su Liu nodded and said with a smile: "I was planning to go to Carpenter Liu in the town in two days to have a look. Mrs. Wu introduced me to a good one."
Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "If you hadn't had haircuts yet, we might as well have just gotten married. After the house was built, even though it was in your name, it was still his money that was spent on it. I still feel it's inappropriate."
"Ning Guang said that before we got married, now that we have more people in our family, we will move to a new house after we buy furniture, and he will move to this house."
"How can this be done?"
"What's wrong? Let's renovate this side as well. Then we can open up the wall and make it a cross-courtyard. It's the same thing." Su Liu said.
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "Then we have to discuss it carefully and we will build a new house for you in that small building."
"Mom!" Su Liu's face heated up and she protested angrily.
"Sister, why are you blushing? You are getting married anyway." Su Xiao teased with a smile.
"Little hoof, let's see if I don't tear your mouth off." Su Liu clicked her tongue and rushed over to pinch her mouth.
Su Xiao kept hiding, giggling and begging for mercy, saying: "Good sister, please spare me, I don't dare anymore."
"I don't dare. I'll feel better without you when I wait for you to kiss me." Su Liu pinched her, causing her face to turn red.
"I really don't dare, I really don't dare!" Su Xiao folded her hands and begged for mercy.
At this time, there was a burst of firecrackers outside the door, and the mother and daughter were stunned.
"It's time the house was built." Su Liu said in surprise: "Mom, let's go see the new house."
"Hey." Mrs. Chen also wanted to see the new house, so she washed her hands together and asked Ice Tea to hang up the remaining bacon. Mother and daughter walked out.
The new house has indeed been capped and built. It is a blue brick building. The most eye-catching thing is the two-story building in the middle, which is very grand.
The layout of the new house is divided into three parts. In the front yard there is the main room for entertaining guests, the guest room, and the inner house where Su Liu and the others live. There are five rooms open together, and a long screen wall behind the house divides the inner house into two parts.
Second, build a two-story building, which will be the future new houses of Su Liu and Ning Guang. The first floor will be used as a living room and dining room, and the second floor will be housing.
For convenience, two clean rooms were built, both with dry toilets and shower rooms. Even one was built in Su Liu's small building, which can avoid the trouble of going to the toilet in winter.
There are also five rooms in the backyard, intended for the servants to live in. There is a moon door leading to it, and there are also livestock pens, woodsheds, and utility rooms, all of which are very elegant.
While looking at it, Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "The houses in the houses of those wealthy families are nothing more than this, right?"
Su Liu chuckled and said: "Mom, there is no need to build livestock pens in the houses of those wealthy families. Moreover, their houses all have gardens, pavilions and pavilions. That is the real big house."
Mrs. Chen heard two hisses, clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, we are only a few people living in such a big house. We are really blessed."
"Mom, what's the big deal? Our house isn't that big." Su Liu said with some humor, "If you saw the Cao family's house, it would be called a big house."
"But our house is also the most magnificent house in this village." Su Xiao said proudly.
"Look at how virtuous you are," Mrs. Chen said angrily.
Su Xiao stuck out her tongue, looked at the new house, and said, "I want to live in this house." She pointed to the west wing.
"Mom, you will live in this main room." Su Liu pointed to the room in the middle and said.
Mrs. Chen smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, nodded, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Sister-in-law Chen, please don't drop the golden beans on this wonderful day." Uncle Zhang and others came at some unknown time and said with a smile. They were all envious of this house when they saw it.
"That's right, when I have money, I will build a house like this." Li Cheng said with a loud smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, we are here today to treat you all to a good meal." Su Liu looked at Ning Guang and said boldly.
There were cheers from the crowd, and everyone dispersed and took the initiative to collect the debris scattered around. Su Liu and Chen walked out of the new home and discussed what dishes to cook.
"Mei Niang!" As soon as she walked out of the house, an old voice rang next to her eardrums.
