Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

After the farce ended, Mao Xiaosui was numb from the cold. Mao Mingzhu came in and scolded, "You damn girl, you are really scary."

"He's not a fool." Mao Xiaosui curled his lips, "I just held it up and ran towards him, and then chopped it after he ran away."

Mao Mingzhu was still scared. "What if I really encounter a fool who can't run?"

"Then I won't chop him down. I'm not stupid. How can I really chop him to death?"

Mao Mingzhu stared at her and didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, she asked, "Is your family ready for the New Year?"

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui said, "The meat is also cooked. Let's wait for New Year's Eve tomorrow."

"I saw several people entering your house from a distance the day before yesterday. Who were they?"

"From the pork shop." Mao Xiaosui said.

"You guys have a good relationship," Mao Mingzhu said.

Mao Xiaosui knew from her tone that she recognized Ding Azhuang. He tilted his head and smiled, "It seems pretty good."

Mao Mingzhu still wanted to ask Li Yunshan, so she walked in, holding a handful of noodles in her hand.

He shoveled out what he had made in the small pot for Heizi to eat, then poured water into it again to make a paste.

Mao Mingzhu also helped them when they were confused.

After a few lanterns were painted and hung up, the sun also set, and white smoke rose from the chimneys of every house in the village.

Mao Mingzhu walked out and said, "This winter is finally not so hard this year. In previous years, your uncle would sit by the stove, but this year he couldn't get off the bed."

"Do you have enough leaves to burn? You need a lot for two kangs, right?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"If it's not hot enough, go to the mountain to get it. Your uncle also likes to sleep on the heated kang, but he is also diligent and knows how to move."

"That's good." Mao Xiaosui smiled.

The wind was strong at night, blowing a biting coldness on people's faces. Mao Mingzhu shrank her neck, stuffed her hands into her sleeves, and ran away like an old lady.

Mao Xiaosui also trembled and hurriedly went to a hut and returned to the house. When he came out, he saw the backyard door open and Li Yunshan feeding chickens and rabbits inside.

She asked "What's for dinner?"

"casual."

Mao Xiaosui went to the food room and brought the rabbit meat and soup cooked yesterday. After a while, he came back with a cabbage and dug a bowl of mushrooms.

She called Kuroko.

Heizi ran out very happily, and Mao Xiaosui threw a dried mountain rat in the basket to him.

The rabbit meat soup was not very flavorful, so Mao Xiaosui fried the meat with sesame oil, cooked the soup, and heated up three steamed buns.

I soaked the steamed buns and rabbit meat in the soup and pressed them into a puree. I fed them to the two children first, and then I held them for dinner after feeding them.

There was nothing to do on the morning of New Year’s Eve, so we started preparing for the New Year’s dinner as soon as noon passed.

Even though I had nothing to prepare, I still had to work around for a while. Finally, the sun set and the New Year officially began.

Everything is ready-made and quick to make. Knead the white flour and cut it into long strips. When the chicken soup is hot, add a handful of chopped green onions and salt to taste. Then steam a bowl of egg custard, stir-fry the meat slices with cabbage and steam the fish.

After the meal was ready and it was getting dark, Mao Xiaosui lit the oil lamp and brought his wine.

Li Yunshan washed his hands and laughed, "You want to drink?"

"It's Chinese New Year." Mao Xiaosui smiled and poured a little into two cups.

The wine jar is about the same size as the sesame oil jar. After pouring two glasses, there is still a lot left. I can probably drink it for a meal next year or the next year.

After saying a few auspicious words, the two clinked glasses before starting the meal. Li Yunshan put the glasses down and went to look through the wardrobe as usual.

Mao Xiaosui looked at him with his chin in his hands, and laughed even harder when he saw him bringing a small wooden box over.

"Take a look." Li Yunshan handed it over.

Mao Xiaosui glanced at his face and smiled when he saw his lips pursed and his eyes staring at her.

It's a pair of earrings, and the pendant is strung together with green beads and drop-shaped white jade-like things.

It was similar to the ones she saw worn by women in the town at the market.

"Try it." Li Yunshan said.

Mao Xiaosui reached out and touched his ears to make sure they were pierced before putting them on.

Shaking his head, he smiled and asked, "Does it look good?"

Li Yunshan stared at it for a while and nodded, "It looks good."

In fact, Mao Xiaosui had never worn these things before, but he was quite happy.

Having fish and meat without freezing is probably the reason why poor people like to celebrate the New Year. Food that they were reluctant to eat in the past has found an upright reason during the New Year.

After a leisurely meal, the two of them sped up after hearing the noise outside.

After washing the pot, Li Yunshan went out to pour the swill when Mao Mingzhu and others came.

Li Yunshan originally didn't want to go out, but they had no choice but to leave after they arrived.

When the people opened the curtain and went out, Mao Mingzhu immediately started, touching the earrings and asked, "How much silver is it?"

"I don't know." Mao Xiaosui laughed.

No matter how much it costs, the gift is just to make you happy. If it is too expensive, I will always worry about it, so it is better not to ask.

"You didn't even ask how much money it cost." Yang Cui said with a smile, "It doesn't look cheap."

"It's not expensive." Mao Xiaosui said, "If it's expensive, my family won't have any money."

Zhang Zhi also looked closely at it for a while and said, "It doesn't look cheap. It's good that Yunshan can afford to buy it for you."

"That's true." A few people agreed and talked in a hurry. It was just that the men in the family had never bought anything for themselves, and they were reluctant to buy some cloth. They hadn't worn new clothes in many years. Class words.

This is what they always say every time they complain, and Mao Xiaosui can only listen to it now.

The child couldn't survive the night and became sleepy after being held in turns for a while. Mao Xiaosui coaxed him to sleep and asked Li Lianxin, "How long does it take for Yang Xin to be born?"

"Soon." Li Lianxin said with a smile, "It will be around March."

Mao Xiaosui immediately began to feel sorry for her, but thinking about it...she just remembered that it hurt at the time. The exact pain, how much it hurt, and how it hurt seemed to have been blurred.

I was so scared at the time, but now I no longer feel that way.
