Cheng Xue heard the sound of "swipe...swipe..." in her sleep, and turned over to wake up.
When he opened his eyes and saw that the room was already bright, he slowly sat up and rubbed his neck. Li Hui was still sleeping. Although they didn't chat after coming back last night, they still slept very late.
The main reason was the conversation between Li Zhong and his wife, which made them a little uncomfortable.
Hearing the noise in Nuan Pavilion, Cheng Xue hurriedly went down to the ground. Li Huaizheng stuck his butt and "squeaked", obviously wanting to be convenient.
Pat his little butt a few times and say softly:
"It's easy to get up. Don't hold it in. It's time to hold it in."
Li Huai opened one eye and pouted coquettishly——
"Mom, I'm sleepy."
"Speak well and don't skip words."
"Mom, I'm so sleepy."
Li Huai rubbed his mother as he spoke. Although he wanted to stay in bed, his strength did not allow it, so he had to let go quickly.
Watching the little one get down to the ground, put on shoes, and skillfully carry the bucket for convenience, Cheng Xue's lips raised, and she was very pleased. She thought that when she first came here, he was still nursing, but now he is three weeks old. p>
"Mom, my dad is still sleeping, and I want to sleep too."
"Then go to sleep, sleep if you want."
After receiving the permission, Li Huai happily jumped onto the kang, got into the bed and closed his eyes. The sleep was still very fragrant, but Cheng Xue had no intention of going back to sleep. Seeing that the person on the kang in the inner room showed no intention of waking up, he went out quietly.
house, close the door.
Shunxi has already cleared the snow and is preparing to build a snowman in the yard. The garbage will not be taken out on New Year's Day, so the snow cannot be taken out either.
He is very good at making snowmen.
There was a snowstorm a while ago, and everyone poured snow into the fields and villages, so he used his free time to build a lot of snowmen. This made the children in the village very happy, and also adjusted the atmosphere after the gloomy period.
"Happy New Year, madam."
"Happy New Year to you too." Cheng Xue responded with a smile, "Did the housekeeper give you a red seal?"
"Go back to Madam, I'll get it early this morning. The villain's things have been given to Uncle Zhong, and Shuangxi will stay here."
"Okay, just one of you two can do it. Can Yuniang make the clothes for you?"
"I've done it all, all year round, five pieces per season, enough for a little person." Shunxi responded.
Cheng Xue nodded after hearing the words and watched without saying anything. It seemed that there was no difficulty, but she still couldn't do it because she didn't have the ability. A single snowball would be enough to make it round, so don't take it seriously.
He stepped out to see his daughter and son. After walking a few steps, he stopped, turned around, and asked:
"You will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, right?"
"No madam, double happiness is seventeen, and the villain is celebrating the nineteenth year of the new year."
"Oh, okay."
After Cheng Xue said that, she went out without looking back. There was no movement in several yards. There was smoke coming from the kitchen chimney, but she didn't go there.
After leaving the hospital, he went straight to Yu Zhao's house, where Tiandong was sweeping the snow with Gastrodia elata and Angelica dahurica.
"Madam?"
Tianma exclaimed, Tiandong hurriedly led him and Bai Zhi, stepped forward to salute, and said in unison——
"Happy New Year, madam!"
Cheng Xue smiled and touched Bai Zhi's face. It felt a little cold. She must have stayed outside for a while.
"Is the house on fire?"
"Back to Madam, there is none. I want to wait until the snow is cleared before ordering it." Bai Zhi replied.
Although she is a servant, her parents, brothers and sisters love her very much, so she has a lively personality and is not lacking in love.
Cheng Xue took her cold hand and handed the yard to the two brothers, while they went into the house to light a fire.
"Madam, just come here, please rest."
When Cheng Xue saw this, she did not refuse. She took the firewood and went to the back room to light the kang. The house was obviously deserted because it was unoccupied. She added firewood to the kang hole and ignited it. It would take a while to burn out. Taking advantage of this time, she simply tidied up the back room, and then
Go out to collect firewood and light fires in several other houses.
Mrs. Wang is very diligent. After the autumn harvest, she takes advantage of her free time to go out to collect firewood. The woodshed is full of firewood, and even if she burns it hard, it will burn until the beginning of spring.
The remaining finishing work was left to Tiandong, and Cheng Xue walked on the village road. The snow had already been cleared, and it was probably Jiang Jianye who organized people to do it. Since the village road was built and repaired, he did his best to maintain it, and summoned the villagers every time it snowed.
When it comes to cleaning, the workshop only spends money to hire people to clean the official road.
Nowadays, the shops are closed during the Chinese New Year, so no one is hired to clean them.
The door of every house is open. If you are in the yard, you can chat a few words. If you are not there, just ignore it.
When they reached the end of the village, the snow on the official road had cleared a lot. Cheng Xue wondered as she walked towards the town. Soon she saw Jiang Jianye leading someone to clear the snow.
"Everyone, please be quick and finish your work early and go home early to eat dumplings. Shanzi, you are young and fast, so hurry up."
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiang, we will definitely work hard. Everyone, hurry up, don't let sister-in-law and brother Huizi find out."
Both of them had very loud voices. Cheng Xue could hear them clearly and felt warm in her heart. Hard work will eventually be rewarded, and now it is, everyone appreciates their kindness.
The first day of the Lunar New Year in Yongle’s 20th year was both touching and hot.
Cheng Xue calmly turned around and returned to the village. The food at home was ready. Li Hui and others got up, and Mr. Pang sat at the head of the table with a bright face.
Not long after the meal started, Li Tian gently tugged on her sleeve and said:
"Mom, I found a lot of small clothes. Some of them can be worn by Trini, and some are given to Sister Yuan. I have divided them all. Later, mother will help me take the clothes to Dong Sanbo's house. I will go to Trini's place myself.
Side."
"I know, when you go to find Trini, remember to send New Year greetings to your aunt."
"Well, I won't forget it." After Li Tian finished speaking, he looked at Li Huai, whose eyes were shining, pointed at his bowl and said, "I'll take you with me if you finish eating. If you don't, I won't take you with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huai transformed into a little tiger, lowering his head and eating dumplings.
After dinner, Cheng Xue carried a cloth bag and walked to Dong's house at the head of the village. When she met the villagers, she greeted the villagers with New Year greetings, which was obviously different from last year.
The door of Dong's house opened, and she stepped into the courtyard and went straight to the main room.
"Are you all at home?"
"Hey, girl is here, come in and sit down."
Mrs. Xu went down to the ground as she talked. Dong Cheng put the kang table on the table. Dong Lisong came from the west room with his two grandsons. Everyone paid New Year greetings to each other.
In modern times, some people think that the words "Happy New Year" are crude, but to Cheng Xue's ears, they feel particularly pleasant and pleasant.
Putting the cloth bag on the kang, looking at Dong Yuanyuan who was able to turn over, she said:
"This is Tiantian wearing small clothes. She found some for Sister Yuan. Don't dislike them."
"Then why do you dislike it? Your stuff is all good stuff, we won't pick on it." Ms. Xu shook her head hastily.
Dong Lisong made tea, pushed one to Cheng Xue and asked:
"Why did the convoy come here to pull things?"
"I woke up on the fifth day of the lunar month and hired six cars." Cheng Xue replied with a smile.
Dong Cheng took out the prepared purse, put it on the table, and said:
"Sister, this is the wish of the two of us and my father. I hope you won't refuse."
There is a custom in Liaodong that when the younger generation goes on a long journey, the elders will give some money to buy food on the way.
Cheng Xue looked at her purse and nodded heavily, saying without refusal:
"I won't refuse. My uncle, brother and sister-in-law gave it to me. I kept it to buy buns on the road."
