Years 15

"Why do you want to steal the lard when you come back?" The Fourth Master asked secretly. He ate a bowl of cabbage and mixed with a little meat in the dumplings yesterday. How wonderful would it taste? When he came back, he asked Tongtong, did you eat it? Tongtong also said he had eaten it. Then he knew that he had not eaten enough and made it again and gave it to him. It wasn't that he had nothing to eat, so why did he make the firecracker so angry?

How could this be why?

It was just watching her mother-in-law not put her daughter-in-law in her eyes and deliberately angered her.

Lin Yutong took out her new clothes and asked the Fourth Master to change them, and whispered: "In the past, those daughters-in-laws would not dare to resist their mother-in-law even if they were hungry. Now they dare not, but they are so worried..."

The Fourth Master answered her words, "When the next generation of mother-in-law is nothing to them. If you don't come anywhere, you will ignore it..."

Is this a kind of progress?

The proposition of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big proposition. I can't understand it.

Neither of them said further. Lin Yutong changed the subject and asked the Fourth Master: "What do you think is not suitable when wearing the clothes?"

The cotton jacket and cotton pants are covered with Zhongshan jackets and shoes, which are made of black oblique striped cotton shoes made by Lin Yutong. The white layered sole is brand new and new.

It looks very suitable.

"It's comfortable to wear." At least, the leather shoes sold outside today are comfortable.

Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Yutong planned to buy two pairs of leather shoes, but she didn't look like she was wearing them very well. She must be shiny, but her feet were suffering.

It's good to just wear cloth shoes.

Lin Yutong has a pink and white cotton jacket, a black cotton jacket, and a black cotton shoe. Her head is combed into a braid and pulled it to the front, tied it with a handkerchief on the tip into a bow. She started to follow the Fourth Master and went to greet the New Year one by one.

Nowadays, no one is willing to spend money on firecrackers, so they can only set it off once on New Year's Eve. The Jin family took advantage of the funeral and did not even set it off on Thirty night. There were no children in the alleys throwing firecrackers everywhere, but there were children who greeted New Year everywhere.

Now it’s early to greet you. You get up at 4 a.m. and finish your meal and pack up at 5 a.m. It’s almost time to start.

It’s just over seven o’clock, and it’s still dark after five o’clock. It’s not only black, but also cold.

But just this, the people who walk back and forth are all greetings. There are only elderly elders in the family, and young people are worshiping each other from house to house. They just meet an elder with the same surname, a new wife like Lin Yutong, who wants to kowtow to others. Of course, the elders will also give a red envelope with urgency.

I got off in the morning and turned around at around 9 o'clock, and I almost paid my respects to all the people who should pay New Year's greetings. Lin Yutong made a total of 90 cents.

Some give one point, some give two points, and some give one or two cents. Anyway, it’s nine cents apart.

The corners of the empress's mouth twitched. When did several people dare to ask the empress to kowtow? Except for the tablets in Fengxian Hall, who could receive her great gift? Now that the knees of new pants have left two dirty marks, they have been exchanged for nine cents.

As soon as I entered the door, I met the eldest couple who came out of the west room.

Li Xian'er first asked Lin Yutong, "How much did you charge?"

Lin Yutong thought to herself: Could it be different? She had to say vaguely: "I don't count! I'll put it in my pocket if I give it."

Li Xian'er pulled Lin Yutong in, "Count it quickly."

Aunt Jin also urged: "Take it out and count it, don't miss it."

Can I not count?

If it is different, it will be so embarrassing.

Lin Yutong reached into her pocket of clothes and simply messed up the money she had sorted up. Then she grabbed a handful and stuffed it directly to Aunt Jin, "That's probably all. Mom, count it. I'm still going to have something to do when I go out."

The Fourth Master leaned in and said, "I went to the commune and Director Ming lives in the commune. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet someone if I go there after this."

This is a matter of justice.

Before Aunt Jin could respond, she was stuffed with money by her daughter-in-law. This must have been given to her, so she should not go back. She also felt that her daughter-in-law was generous, and she felt that she was too lazy to deal with money.

When Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master came out, they heard Aunt Jin and Li Xian'er talking in the west room.

gold

The aunt said, "Tongtong has eight cents, why are you three cents? Have you forgotten who you are going to?"

No.

Li Xian'er counted with her fingers, "Who's the family..." and passed by one by one, "Those families didn't give it to..."

Lin Yutong pouted at the Fourth Master, saying that those families were given to him, and they were all worth one or two cents.

After walking out of the door, Li Xian'er's voice could still be heard, "Isn't Yingzi the first to come back? How much did she take?"

"It's also 80 cents..." Aunt Jin's voice came, "Call Xiaowan to come, see how much she has taken?"

Then I heard Li Xian'er calling He Xiaowan.

It’s not too much to say that it’s so meticulous. After all, people have exchanged favors, so how much they give to their family. If there is any problem in the future, they have to do this. They have to ask carefully. But Aunt Jin is sometimes very rough-minded, and she doesn’t think about it. Now the three daughters-in-law are different. What do you ask in front of Li Xianer? The more you ask Li Xianer, the more you feel uncomfortable.

Give yourself more because the Fourth Master and I now seem to be the promising ones, and giving more is also a common human nature.

If you give Yingzi a lot, it is because Jin Lao Er has maintained the people outside, and the face is worthy of others.

First plant the cause, then the fruit will be borne.

Lin Yutong was not interested in listening to what he said later. Li Xian'er on the first day of the Lunar New Year must have been furious again.

The two of them went to Director Ming to take anything else, just tea leaves. They packed more than a dozen packs of iron boxes. They also used good tea leaves when he was giving gifts.

I took it over and saw the thing, so I decisively took it away. The box didn't need to be opened because it was just packaged. The box was stained with smell, so I knew it was a good thing after I smelled it.

He quickly said, "I'm worried." He was really worried. I was afraid that someone would mail it from the original road. Except for the south, the north has not seen such good tea in recent years. I heard that Old Man Jin had been a soldier and his comrades had all kinds of people from all over the world, and maybe it was not necessarily possible to get it. But no matter how it came, the things were really good. "I'm worried about what to bring with me when I went out? You brought it here."

I came to visit the door for the first day of the first day of the New Year, but I didn’t say anything serious, but I just said common words, so I can contact you.

Not staying for a long time, the two of them got up and said goodbye in half an hour. There must be many people coming here to pay New Year's greetings. The branch secretary and village chief of each village must come to the door, and it will be bad if they meet. Those people must be on the meal time, and they will arrive around twelve o'clock. And the close ones come here should probably be on the door. It would be inappropriate to stay.

Director Ming didn't keep much, and when he got up and sent it out, he asked the Fourth Master: "Come here for the fifth day of the lunar month, are there no arrangements?"

If you ask this, you must have something to ask the Fourth Master.

Of course I'm still idle.

"Then you come here at 8 o'clock in the morning of the sixth day of the lunar month. I remember you can drive, just that jeep, you drive and go out with me. It will take about three or four days." Director Ming said.

Those who walk around during the Chinese New Year must be the superiors. Taking the Fourth Master himself is a supporter, and this is how connections are built.

The Fourth Master responded and the two left.

Lin Yutong laughed: "Have you become a driver now?"

The Fourth Master knocked on her: "You have become a pig farmer, why can't I be a driver?"

The two of them laughed and felt that this experience was unprecedentedly real and fulfilling!

It’s like this on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Lunch is made with cabbage and stewed with tofu, plus a spoonful of lard, and then steamed buns with white flour.

During the meal, Li Xian'er asked Lin Yutong again: "Where are you going to tomorrow? When will the Lin family go?"

Lin Yutong grabbed the chopsticks and paused, it was true! According to the previous statement, this is considered to be recognized. After admitting it, you have to walk around during the Chinese New Year.

It is reasonable to go back to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

But how did you go? Yingzi didn't say anything, and Lin Yutong couldn't answer.

Li Xian'er said to herself: "I tell you, don't be stupid. It's useless if you don't go. You're already suffering a loss. You still have to suffer a loss after all? Why? Then my wife should eat delicious food after that, and you should eat braised vegetables?" She waved the chopsticks in her hand, saying to Lin Yutong, "You have a job."

I probably don’t care about the money there. We don’t care about whether we don’t care about it, but we can’t take advantage of others. I told me, you should go or give it to you, and you should get the money as well. If you have any questions, don’t go to the Lin family to find that little wife. Go directly to the county town to ask for it for Uncle Lin. This is what he owes you. As for the matter of getting old in the future... you are a married daughter and have never raised you. It’s not your turn to serve you. Go one or two times a year, go for the New Year, go for something there, and leave, and live your own lives. Who cares about whoever is the reason?"

Aunt Jin couldn't help but glance at her eldest daughter-in-law. If she was a slut, she would be a real slut. If she was a slut at home, she would be annoying. But if the logic of this slut was applied to outsiders, it would be a good idea to listen to it, and to listen to it, it would seem to make sense.

It’s just to show off what you owe me, and it’s not too much to subsidy. I just want to ask for it, and I don’t think I should give the same reward at all.

This is a way of contact that can be temporarily connected, but over time, people will probably be disgusted with it.

He Xiaowan said, "...... After a few years, the stepmother's birth will grow up. Look, we have to fight. I'm afraid that the relationship will not last long."

"If you don't grow, you won't grow!" Li Xian'er slapped his desk, "It's going to cost 100 a year, and three years is enough to build a brick and tile house. We haven't suffered any losses!"

As for what others think? Don’t worry about it!

Anyway, everyone has their own opinions on whether they recognize or not, and they all make sense.

On the first day of the second day of the lunar month, Lin Yutong, the fourth master and the second couple went to my aunt's side with their things to wish her grandma and aunt a happy new year.

After all, it was just my aunt's house and my uncle was back. Lin Yutong didn't like to listen to it very much, and she felt a little 25-year-old. She just had a good job, otherwise no matter what aspect this person looked at, she would be looked down upon.

My aunt is the kind of person who has no temper, muttering. Yingzi was anxious to move out in order to quickly take her grandma over.

I came here to pay New Year's greetings and didn't have dinner here. I put down my things and said for more than ten minutes, then I went back to the old lady's side.

The old lady had prepared all the breakfast, and the four of them came back and the food was served directly.

A stewed chicken was placed in the middle, with braised pork, fried croquettes, fried eggs, cold dried tofu, white rice porridge, and a roll. This was the most hearty meal I had eaten in the past six months.

The old lady said, "Go. The Lin family has to go! With your stepmother, it's okay to go to the second house or not. If you should go to the big house, you're smart. It's easy to deal with smart people." She said, "As for this person, you must have a relative and six. Don't look at the trouble, but when it's important, you will see that these three relatives and six have the benefits of three relatives and six...

I said a lot, meaning that if I don’t go, I’m afraid that there will be anything I say. People must stand the etiquette when doing things.

After a meal, I went back to the Jin family and realized that it would be impossible not to go.

Why?

There was a jeep parked at the door, and there were two guests sitting in the west room. One had seen it, Lin Yukang, the second son of Aunt Lin, and the other had never seen it. However, looking at the clothes and looking at the parked jeep outside, there was nothing else I didn’t understand. These two people came to the Jin family to pay New Year’s greetings first, and then took the girl and grandpa of the Lin family back to celebrate the New Year.

There are gifts from others who come to get, cigarettes, wine, tea, and pastries on the kang, and you can see the kind that is of great value at a glance.

If you have done this, how do you want to handle it?
