Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Compared to going to bed early at night in Jiangjia Village, the three brothers and sisters of the Song family stayed up until midnight last night.

So much so that after Song Shuangshuang entered the room, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, without even entering the space.

The next morning, Song Shuangshuang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside.

But she was so sleepy that she covered her head with the quilt and waited for the noise outside to stop before going back to sleep. As a result, one theater after another played music and they couldn't stop.

Helpless, she could only get up.

When I left the room, Song's father was sitting at the table rubbing his head, and Brother Song and Song Youlin had just gotten up.

Song's mother brought in a plate of dumplings, and seeing that the three of them were awake, she said, "Everyone, wake up. There's hot water on the stove. Hurry up and wash up and get ready for dinner."

After the three siblings finished washing up, they saw that Father Song was still in the same miserable state as before.

Song Shuangshuang thought of the wise saying she had heard before, rolled her eyes, and said to her father

"Dad, do you want to drink some more wine to clear your head?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Song Youlin was drinking water, but he spat out a mouthful of water after hearing what Song Shuangshuang said.

Brother Song patted him on the back and looked at his sister in confusion.

Dad is already drunk, why are you still persuading him to drink?

Seeing that everyone in the family was looking at her, Song Shuangshuang cleared her throat and explained

“I also heard from the uncles in the village that if you drink too much the day before, you will feel uncomfortable, but if you drink a little earlier the next day, you will not feel so uncomfortable.

As for whether it is useful or not, I don’t know.”

Father Song thought about how he drank a whole bottle of wine by himself last night and decided not to drink anymore.

There is still some wine at home, but it has to be saved for the eldest brother's wedding day.

"It's okay, Dad will be fine after a while, let's eat first."

Song Shuangshuang shrugged. It's fine if you don't want to listen.

The family was eating around the dining table and talking about going to Uncle Song's house to get something.

"Just take half a pound of meat and a bag of biscuits, and I'll give you ten dollars as a gift to the old lady this month." He didn't want to take anything else.

Especially the things the two children brought back from the countryside, he would not take any of them with him.

Song's mother asked Song's father what time he planned to go over.

"Let's go in a bit. We'll find an excuse to come back after a while. We won't eat there either."

Song's father thought it over and realized that there was no reason for him to let his own family serve his eldest brother's family.

Visit the old lady during the New Year and give her some gifts to show your filial piety.

Besides, the old lady and the eldest brother's family don't want to break off relations with him, so he can use this to control them.

After the family had eaten and drunk their fill, they came to the door carrying two gifts.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he heard a noisy voice inside. Song Shuangshuang stretched his neck to take a look and saw a lot of people gathered at the door of a house. The noise came from there.

Why are there still fights on New Year's Day?

Could it be Hong Xiuzi?

These people are so bold that they dare to gather at someone's doorstep to watch the fun, unafraid of finding Hong Xiuzi and bringing her home.

Song Youhui also took a look inside, and his expression changed immediately. He then pulled his father and mother who were about to go inside.

"Mom and Dad, it's my uncle's house."

After hearing what her elder brother said, Song Shuangshuang no longer found it boring and took two steps inside, wanting to listen to what the noise was about.

Although I couldn't hear clearly what happened inside, there was a quarrel, and it was quite fierce.

I don’t know who my uncle’s family offended, so that they came to our house on New Year’s Day.

Obviously, Song Shuangshuang and his sister didn't want to get involved in this mess. If someone came to collect the debt, when Old Lady Zhang saw that they were coming, she would definitely let that group of people come to their house, causing trouble for them.

"Dad, let's just stay away and listen, don't show your head.

My eldest brother is getting married in a few days, don’t let anything happen at this critical moment.”

Song's father also knew the importance of the matter, and listened to Song Shuangshuang and didn't get too close to Uncle Song's house. But he still walked a little forward and stood at a fork in the road.

If the situation becomes undesirable, their family can escape in time.

Last night, Uncle Song's family had the worst New Year ever. Although they cooked 6 dishes, they were all vegetarian, either radishes, potatoes or cabbage.

Anyway, there is no meat at all.

I didn’t even make the dumplings, just waited for Song’s father and his family to come with the meat so that I could make a good meal.

I don’t know what Old Mrs. Zhang is thinking. Even though Song’s father has said that he will cut off all ties with her, she still wants to put on airs, thinking that Song’s father will still come to her house and honor her and do what she says.

So when she heard the knock on the door in the morning, Mrs. Zhang proudly said to Uncle Song, "Father Song is here after all."

"If you ask me, we shouldn't have come back empty-handed yesterday. We should have asked the third brother to bring us some dumplings so that we can see what we ate last night.

Even country folks eat meat during the New Year."

Uncle Song also thought that Father Song had "come to his senses" and was about to agree with the old lady when a quarrel broke out outside the house, and it sounded like there was more than one person involved.

Uncle Song went out and saw that it was his eldest daughter-in-law's family.

Thinking about how his daughter-in-law ran back crying yesterday, Uncle Song felt that the in-laws were there to support his daughter-in-law.

"What's wrong with you, my dear relatives?" Uncle Song walked out of the house with a smile on his face, just in time to meet the angry Zhu family.

"You still have the nerve to ask what happened!

Ask the neighbors around you to judge which man beats his wife during the New Year!

I'm not saying that my daughter must enjoy a good life after marrying into your family, but your son can't come back and beat my daughter after being bullied outside.

No matter what, my daughter gave birth to a son for your Song family!

Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. You must give my family an explanation."

Today is the first day of the new year. Neighbors around here haven’t gone out to visit relatives much, and there is not much work to do at home.

As soon as they heard that there was a quarrel in Uncle Song's house, they all came out to watch the fun.

As for what Mrs. Zhang and her family have done over the years, they don't even think about being respectful to each other and are just eager to watch the fun in his family.

Seeing people from both sides climbing up the wall and a few people gathering at the door, Uncle Song panicked.

He was very concerned about his family's reputation. If the neighbors knew that their daughter-in-law was chased away during the New Year's Day, they would not be able to hold their heads up for the whole year.

So, Uncle Song quickly smiled and advised the Zhu family to lower their voices and go inside to talk if they had anything to say.

"What room are you going into? Let's talk about it right here!

Let the neighbors around hear how heartless your family is. The old lady and the mother-in-law help their son to beat their daughter-in-law.

I gave my daughter an abortion!"

The last sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in the small yard and shocking the neighbors who were watching the fun.

“Ah!! What did you say!!”

Old Mrs. Zhang just came out of the house and heard the last sentence.

At the same time, Song Guangzong also came out of the house with a frown on his face.

Last night, Zhu Qin left her child behind and ran back to her parents' home. The child couldn't find his mother and cried for most of the night, which made him so angry that he couldn't sleep. He was sleeping soundly just now when he was woken up by the shouting and scolding outside.

As soon as the Zhu family saw Song Guangzong coming out, Zhu Qin's two brothers rushed towards him with their fists waved.

Uncle Song quickly moved aside, and Aunt Song tried to block him, but was grabbed by Mother Zhu's hair and could not move.

Song Guangzong had just woken up and his mind was still fuzzy, so he was hit hard by two punches.
