Dong Lisong smiled and said "Okay" after hearing her quiet words. Dong Cheng and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief. When they were preparing the money, they were worried that she wouldn't want it, but luckily they did. Cheng Xue felt much warmer and hugged Sister Yuan.
Rare in my arms.
A child of such a big age looks different every day. Although his facial features have not yet fully developed, his eyebrows look like Dong Cheng's, and his mouth and face look like Xu's. His appearance is entirely based on his merits.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, the president of your family will definitely be a beauty in the future."
"It's not that easy. I'm even worried about her future." Ms. Xu's face was full of worry.
I remember that when the two sons were first born, they were fair and very good-looking. Looking at how they look now, they are simply incompetent. She asked them to wash their faces well and apply some oil, but none of them found it troublesome, and she was so angry that she didn't bother to care.<
/p>
Cheng Xue was playing with the child in her arms. You said "ah" and I said "oh" while chatting. It wasn't until Dong Hong and Dong Bin came over that she put down the child and stood up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Xu took her arm and followed her out, standing at the door and saying:
"After you go to Beijing, you should write to me often. When you get a job in Beijing, tell me where you live, and we will keep in touch."
"Don't worry, I will remember it all and won't forget it."
Xu suppressed her sore nose and held her hand tightly:
"I know you must be very busy these days, so I won't let you come home for dinner. I will bake you egg pancakes on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and take them with you to eat on the road. They will be soft."
They grew up together since they were children, and they have been in the same village since they got married. They have never been separated. Now that they are separated, it is impossible to imagine that they would visit each other in the village as usual. I am afraid that they will not meet again many times in their lifetime. Really
It's very uncomfortable.
Cheng Xue reached out and hugged her gently and said:
"I will always write letters here. I have already said hello to the inn in town. Just ask the third brother to find him then. Zhuzi and Shuanzi must study hard. It is good to be famous. If you can't,
Come out, the workshop needs a counting house, keep it for me."
Mrs. Xu hugged her tightly with her backhand, said "Hmm" loudly, and said:
"Thank you Snow Lady, you will always be my best friend."
"We are each other."
Cheng Xue pushed her away gently, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and left without looking back.
Although there are still a few days before departure, they obviously have no chance to chat, chat, and gossip like they did today. Recalling their childhood togetherness, today you photographed me, and tomorrow you cheated by jumping rope, such childish behavior now
Looking back, they are all the best memories...
……
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married women return home, but this day has nothing to do with Cheng Xue, and she doesn't care about it. She is locking the packed boxes and counting the numbers.
"Madam, in my humble opinion, the convoy on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year must be accompanied by two of our people. Firstly, we can take care of the things, and secondly, we can organize things in the house after we go to Beijing. This will prevent Madam from having to organize things there."
Cheng Xue heard this and thought it made sense, but it was too laborious in terms of manpower.
"Everything you said is right, but Tiandong and Bai Shao cannot move, and Gastrodia elata and Bai Zhi are young, so there is really no one around!"
"Madam, what do you think of Mr. Ma?" Yu Niang suggested, "I think we should let Mr. Ma, Shunxi, and Gastrodia go first. With the three of them going there in advance, you won't be in panic when you arrive in the capital."
Cheng Xue thought for a moment and immediately went to discuss with Mr. Pang. The old man had no objection at all. Ma, Shunxi and others immediately prepared their bags and left with the convoy on the fifth day of the new year.
Everything has been arranged properly and I have brought enough things. As long as the road is peaceful now, I don’t have to worry about anything else.
After dinner, Guo Dake came over with his wife and Nianzi, while Nianzi took care of Yunni and Mianni at home.
The purpose of their coming was very clear. The first was to pay back the money, and the second was to give money. They had agreed to rent the land to pay off the debt, but since the couple knew how to live and work, they hurriedly paid back half of the money, although there was still some money left.
Some, but in two years it’s almost enough.
"...Brothers and sisters, although the money has been repaid, we still want to continue farming and have no plans to buy land at the moment."
Cheng Xue nodded when she heard this and said without any objection:
"Brother Dake, just plant it. If you don't want to plant it, just mention it to Li Zhong if it fails. We are not outsiders. You can do whatever you want here."
Guo Dake chuckled "Haha..." and felt very comfortable.
Now that there are three people in their family making money and one person studying, they will be able to live a good life in a short time. He is very confident...
……
In the blink of an eye, it's the third day of the Lunar New Year. As previously agreed, the Yu family will come over to stay for a while today. So Cheng Xue asked Yu Niang to prepare food early in the morning. The ingredients fried years ago are still there, ready to be stir-fried. Li Zhong specially
Get up early and go to town to buy a pair of thick-fleshed sheep and scorpions, chop them open with an ax and make soup.
As soon as Sishi arrived, Yu Huai and his family all arrived.
Bai Shao took them to the main courtyard and main room. Cheng Xue had already cooked brown sugar, wolfberry and red date water and poured a bowl for each person to warm them up.
This is the first time that Yu Chang's wife has visited her home. She heard that her cousin's family is doing well, but she didn't expect it to be so good.
"Drink some water and warm yourself up."
"Oh, okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Yu Chang's wife nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip.
It's sweet, warm, and very comfortable after taking it. It's a bit reserved, but she's very adaptable, so she'll be fine after a while.
"Have you found all the convoys? The food must be taken from home. Don't go to the capital to buy it. It's not cheap..."
Mrs. Liu pulled Cheng Xue and asked her nonstop questions. Cheng Xue was not bored and answered in detail with a smile.
In the end, Yu Huai couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted quickly:
"Okay, okay, these two are not as heartless as our family. They have something in mind."
Yu·Quexinyan·Zhao and Yu·Quexinyan·昐 looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, not daring to refute.
Nowadays, the old man has a bad temper, and he will raise his eyebrows at the slightest displeasure. They are all afraid of him.
Mrs. Liu opened the baggage she brought over, and it was filled with shoes and clothes.
"I, Sister Wan, and the third family made this for you together. I know you don't lack these, but after all, it is our heart. Each of us has two pairs of shoes and one set of clothes. Take this bag of money and buy some food on the way.
."
Cheng Xue took the purse with both hands. It was very heavy, probably about twenty taels.
"Thank you, aunt, thank you, uncle. I have enough money for the buns along the way."
"Stop eating steamed buns all the time, eat some meat and fish." Yu Huai quickly corrected.
They all have a temperamental personality. If they can really make the move of eating steamed buns all the way, it will be very tiring. I probably won’t be able to eat steamed buns in the future.
Everyone chatted together, and soon lunch was ready. Lady Yu came in from the outside, curtsied and said:
"Uncle, Madam, the food is ready, let's go to the front hall to eat."
Li Hui finally had time to interject, helped Yu Huai stand up, and said:
"We have a stir-fried meal for lunch. We specially sent someone to the town to buy a lamb rack with bamboo leaves and green leaves. You can eat more."
