The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 55: 23 Things to Do During the Chinese New Year

Zhao Mansion

Chen sat down with her second son and his family to have a New Year's Eve dinner and spent the New Year quietly.

The children and grandchildren each paid their New Year's greetings and left.

Chen seemed a little lonely.

"Yuan, what do you think the eldest and the third brother are doing now?"

Mother Zhang massaged her old lady's legs while chatting with her and smiling.

"They must have just finished their New Year's Eve dinner. I guess the eldest master must have made eight-treasure cakes at home, and the third master must be reciting poems with the third lady. Wait a few months, and maybe you will receive a letter from the capital, asking for more grandchildren."

Chen couldn't help laughing, they all thought of Su He's words.

"Then I'll wait and hope everything goes smoothly for them."

Sanshi Village Su Family

"Mom, today is New Year's Day, why are we still having wild vegetable porridge?"

"There's also some bacon. You'll be so happy to have some meat."

Su Youliang was quite dissatisfied. This was just a small amount of bacon, one piece per person at most. They killed a chicken last year.

"There are still six chickens at home, so we have to kill two of them."

"What a big mouth you have! Who do you think you are? Your second brother is getting married in a month, and these chickens will come in handy then. Don't get in the way here, get out of here."

Wang Cuicui has been in a bad mood since Su He came to divide the family. Although they didn't ask for money when the family was divided, their house was smashed by the debt collectors, and they wanted to buy many things. A few cents here and a few cents there, the total was shocking.

Su Bingzhong and Wang Cuicui were both heartbroken, so they had a very miserable New Year.

"You go find a matchmaker tomorrow. Mingzhu is already this old, she must be married within two months. The shortfall in Decai's marriage will be made up with Mingzhu's betrothal gift."

Su Bingzhong has always been the one who has the final say at home. Originally, Wang Cuicui could have fought for her daughter and saved a few hundred coins to buy some clothes as a dowry.

But the last time when He Hua took a knife to attack Su Bingzhong, Wang Cuicui was only concerned about escaping for her own life, and was severely beaten by Su Bingzhong afterwards, so now she could only bow her head and agree.

Su He had a very happy night. She had never had the experience of celebrating the New Year with so many people in her entire two lifetimes.

Everyone had smiles on their faces. The men were eating meat and drinking rice wine, while the children were running around on the kang, occasionally taking a piece of meat from the table and secretly drinking some of the adults' rice wine. By the time they were discovered, their cheeks had already turned red and they were grinning foolishly.

The women at home are also happy because their husbands and children are doing well. They can also take a break and chat about gossip. How wonderful.

After a busy year, this day is both an end and a beginning.

Even if Su He didn't eat or drink, just sitting there watching, he could feel the happiness.

Today is just happiness.

The next day was also a day of lying down and slacking off. With her hardworking aunt around, she was willing to be a lazy bum.

On this day, my uncle came to our house, and we had dinner together in the evening. As usual, we ate separately, with the women at one table and the men at another.

Su He took out all the rice wine he made and placed it on the side, and whoever wanted to drink it could pour it.

She gathered around her two aunts and chatted about gossip with Miaomiao.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to ask you to come and help me in a couple of days. Sheng Zixiang is going to visit someone else, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

"Of course I'll be there early in the morning, don't worry, if there's anything you need at home, I'll get it for you."

Zhou rolled her eyes at Jin and fed Miaomiao a piece of pork head.

"I'm ready. It hasn't been finalized yet, so there's no need to be too particular. It's just that I have no experience at all. Sister-in-law, you are experienced. I won't be nervous if you guide me."

Su He also signed up for herself and Miao Miao, "Aunt, Miao Miao and I will go too, to see what our future sister-in-law is like."

Of course, the Jin family welcomes it, as a large family will be prosperous.

"Mom, are you going?"

Jin invited her mother-in-law to go with her, "I won't go. I feel relieved with your sister-in-law here."

At Sun's age, she likes to stay on the kang without moving. Anyway, with her eldest daughter-in-law around, nothing can go wrong.

"Aunt, I'm going, and Tietou is going too."

Two heads appeared from nowhere, giving themselves a chance.

"Everyone go, it will be more lively if you kids go."

Jin had been married for more than 20 years and knew her mother-in-law's habits. She knew that she was unwilling to move in winter.

But according to the rules, I still have to ask.

"Aunt, which village is the girl from? Is she coming in the morning or afternoon?"

Jin was also happy when talking about her son's big event. "Come in the morning, around 9:00 a.m. If you like her, I'll keep her for a meal. If not, I'll give her some cakes."

"He's from my mother's village. There are two sons and one daughter in the family. This girl is the eldest and she's 19 this year. Our Shengzi is 20, so they look about right in age."

Su He listened with a nervous heart. She had two younger brothers at home. If one of them liked to bring things to her mother's house like Lin Xiaozhao did, her uncle's house would not be able to provide them with enough food.

"This girl is not young anymore. Normally, she should be married at 16. Why is she so old?"

Zhou also had doubts. It’s not that they disliked your age, but they always liked to ask more questions about unusual things.

Apparently Jin had asked the matchmaker a long time ago, "She said that her brothers are young, one is 15 and the other is 10, and she was worried about her family, so she delayed it until now."

"Sister, my cousin is already 30, why hasn't he met anyone yet?"

Miaomiao's focus is obviously different from everyone else's. Shengzi's cousin is 20 and is about to get engaged, so what about his 30-year-old cousin?

As soon as these words were spoken, Shunzi next to him blushed.

Sun touched Miaomiao's head and said, "Uncle is also going to get married. It will be in the next two years. If Miaomiao finds a suitable partner, please remember to help uncle keep an eye out for him."

Sun's last sentence was obviously a joke, but Miaomiao didn't think so. She agreed seriously.

She agreed and took action immediately. She walked up to her cousin and asked him in a serious manner.

"Uncle, what kind of person are you looking for? Tell me and I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's a suitable one, we can meet them."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around laughed.

Somehow Su He thought of Juhua, who was also single at the age of 18 during the Chinese New Year. Juhua was worried about her parents' home, and her cousin was alone. If the two of them got married, they would only need to take care of Juhua. Juhua would have someone to rely on and could continue to take care of the family, while her cousin would not only have a wife but also many more relatives. It seemed like a match made in heaven.

However, this idea was overturned by Su He. It was unknown when Juhua could redeem herself. It was impossible.

Shunzi felt shy when asked by Miaomiao, and he just ate without even raising his head.

Su He came to his senses and quickly pulled Miaomiao back.

"Aunt, is Sister Yanzhi coming back tomorrow?"

"Yes, Tiantian too. Your heartless sister hasn't come back to see me for half a year."

Although Zhou was complaining, she was actually very happy in her heart. Her daughter was marrying far away, and it would take two hours by carriage. She didn't want her daughter to marry so far away, and she wanted to let Yanzhi find a husband in her own village.

Who would have thought that I would fall in love with my son-in-law after meeting him by chance.

It can only be said that things are unpredictable.

"Aunt, let my cousin pick up my cousin tomorrow. It's warmer in the carriage."

Su He is quite generous to his own people and is extremely enthusiastic in promoting his products.

Zhou didn't expect this, but she was moved after hearing what Su He said. Her daughter would probably come here on a cart. It would be a torture for her to bring four-year-old Tiantian along for such a long journey.

Of course it would be best if there was a carriage. Hehua's carriage was of good quality and she felt warm when she sat in it last time. In order to save her daughter from suffering, Zhou couldn't help but speak.

"Lotus, if you don't need it tomorrow, then your aunt will shamelessly borrow it from you."

"There's no need to be so polite. Aunt, feel free to use it. I just don't know if my cousin is free."

Su He looked at Wang Bin who was absent-minded, wondering if he could get up early tomorrow.

Zhou glanced at her son with disdain and said, "I'm asking you, your sister rarely comes back to lie down, what do you think? If she doesn't want to, I can ask Shunzi to do the same."

Wang Bin was woken up by his father's beating. He screamed in pain, "Go, go, I'll go. I will get up early tomorrow to pick him up."

Tietou saw his father being beaten and hid aside and laughed secretly.
