During lunch, Ding Pingshun ran out and came back with the old couple.

Sister-in-law Ding called out, "Mom and dad," and said, "Come in and eat."

Mao Xiaosui suddenly became uncomfortable, stood up and waited for the two of them to sit down first.

The two of them also knew Li Yunshan and said with a smile, "Here we come."

Ding Ping'an pointed at Mao Xiaosui and said in a sweet voice, "Little aunt Suisui."

The old couple looked at her again, looked at her for a long time, and then said, "What a handsome girl."

Li Yunshan also glanced at her and nodded in agreement.

Mao Xiaosui blushed and was still embarrassed after being told.

The old lady saw this and pointed to the stool for her to sit on.

Lunch consisted of two large bowls of meat. Since it wasn't cut, Mao Xiaosui didn't know what to do with it.

Li Yunshan seemed to be at home, without any courtesy. He used a knife to cut two pieces of ribs and a piece of fat and thin meat for her.

Sister-in-law Ding gave her the mixed salt and pepper and motioned for her to dip it in and eat it.

Mao Xiaosui dipped it in, it was salty, numbing, and had the unique aroma of pork.

The pork ribs are just the right amount of fat and thin, and it's very enjoyable to eat.

This was the first time she had eaten meat in such a big way since she came here. After all, she was still worried about being in someone else's house. She stopped after eating some and was about to say to wash her hands.

The old lady next to her put two more pieces of ribs into her bowl and said with a smile, "Eat it, feel full."

Mao Xiaosui responded with a smile.

She got a little tired of eating the meat at the end. She took a sip of water and stopped the old lady who was still trying to put meat in her bowl. "That's enough, that's enough. I'm really done eating."

The old lady gave up when she saw that she didn't look like she was cheating.

After the meal, the old couple left first, and she and Aunt Ding squatted on the floor washing dishes and chopsticks.

Mao Xiaosui asked, "Aren't uncle and aunt cooking here?"

"They were over there in the pigsty. The backyard was too small, so we built the pigsty in the ground and built two rooms next to it."

"There are people in the village who like to steal things, and my father and mother are watching over there."

"We still have two dogs at home, so we don't need to worry about them too much. We can feed them at this time. In the summer, we will beat them and carry them there."

"How many pigs are there now?"

"Six, three breeding pigs, three for sale."

"Waste food?"

Auntie Ding laughed, "Summer is a bit tiring, and winter wastes food. We have nine acres of land, and the pigs have to eat one or two acres. This year, there is not so much in previous years."

"Would you like to feed me with millet? That's a pity."

"There's nothing I can do. It's a pity. I can still make some money at least."

In the afternoon, the sun was getting darker, and it was time for the two of them to leave.

Li Yunshan took out two strings of small copper coins from his arms and handed them to Ding Pingshun and Ding Pingan respectively.

There are not many copper coins, there are ten in each string.

Ding Azhuang came out of the kitchen carrying the meat. Li Yunshan hurriedly said, "No, I didn't finish what I bought last time."

Mao Xiaosui also said quickly, "I didn't eat much of what I bought last time. I still have fish at home."

"Take it, I still have plenty at home. The year is almost over and there will be no business for at least a month or two."

"Let it sit in the sun and eat slowly."

"Hey." Ding Azhuang smiled, "I usually kill one every month or two. There is no shortage of meat at home. You can take it and eat it."

After a few more refusals, he finally took it.

The meat is very big and heavy in the hand.

During the Chinese New Year, there are not only many people visiting relatives, but also many people getting married.

Early in the morning, the village was buzzing with people, as if something good had happened.

Mao Xiaosui couldn't sit still and went out to take a look. The children in the village were walking behind a group of people. Those people were still carrying things in their hands. They didn't look like they were visiting.

The group of people entered the Qi family and the Lin family respectively. Only then did Mao Xiaosui understand that they must have come to look at each other and hire them.

In the hall, Li Yunshan was turning over mugwort sticks placed on the mud stove. When he saw her come in, he casually asked, "What are you doing?"

"Enter the Qi family and Lin family."

He nodded and said, "Li Sheng from Mr. Liu's family is also getting married early next month."

"So sudden."

"It's like this. Once the two families have agreed on the money, they can get married."

"Where is Li Yunqiang?"

"It said it will wait until March or later, but I don't know the details."

When Zhang Zhi came to the house in the evening, he didn't go into the house and just stood in the yard.

Mao Xiaosui had no choice but to go out and ask her, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Zhi smiled and asked her, "Do you still have the wedding dress you wore?"

"Yes, I saw someone visiting your house today. Is it a kiss?"

"Yes." She smiled and said, "It's settled. I'll get married at the end of the month."

He's already eighteen now, so he's only a few days away.

"Xi Fu is here," she said, "I'll go find it for you. You can come in and sit down for a while."

Zhang Zhi waved his hand, "I'm just standing here. All the unbroken things in the village are sixty copper coins. Is this the same for you?"

Mao Xiaosui didn't know, so he said, "I'll go in and ask."

In the room, Li Yunshan had already sat up from the bed and heard the words outside, "You can sell her for sixty, there's no point keeping her."

"Okay." She took out the clothes she was so excited about from the cabinet.

She also bought this outfit from someone else, and Meng Qiu cursed her a lot at that time.

She had washed the clothes and they looked quite new. She showed them to Zhang Zhi and collected sixty copper coins.

Mao Xiaosui sent her out and waited for her to come down the slope before entering the house with sixty copper coins in hand.

"Here." She handed over the money.

Li Yunshan pointed to the closet with his chin, "Put it in there yourself."

Mao Xiaosui didn't think much, used the small key on the wardrobe to open the small wooden box and threw the money in.

It snowed heavily again on the day of Qi Yuzhen's wedding, and only a few sounds of gongs and drums were heard in the morning.

She looked down at the door of her home and saw Qi Yuzhen wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab being carried away by a man.

Many potholes were dug on the downhill road. After the people picking up the relatives left, the Qi family used shovels to fill in the potholes little by little.

"Come in." Li Yunshan turned around first.

She followed him and asked, "How long will it take for the snow to stop? It feels like it's been raining for several months and it hasn't really cleared up yet."

"Winter here is like this. It will get warmer in the middle of next month and it will get warmer when the river water in the mountains gradually melts."

"What's for breakfast?"

I just watched the excitement early in the morning and didn't even cook porridge.

"Cook the porridge and fry the pork liver."

"Sure." Li Yunshan picked up the broom against the wall and swept the yard.
