She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

"Auntie has worked hard too, you should rest more too. Only when you are refreshed can you have the energy to take care of the two little ones. Let Meihua rest more and eat more. She will have more milk if she eats well. Not only will the child grow faster if he is well fed, but he will also stop making noises."

"That's right. In the past, I would only eat a few eggs after giving birth. Now that our family is well off, I will try to pick anything for her, even the stars in the sky, if she wants to eat it."

As they were talking, they went to the kitchen. Niu Li added a handful of firewood to the stove. Before Gu Qingqing could react, she cracked four eggs into the pot.

Just when she was wondering why Meihua was cooking poached eggs since she was resting, she later realized that it was for herself and Wen Xin.

Niu Li stared at the pot and asked, "Are you here for something today?"

Gu Qingqing nodded, and then told Zhao Nan that he was interested in Wang Chunxiang.

Niu Li was so shocked that her chin dropped. After a while, she raised her chin and asked in surprise, "Zhao Nan likes Chunxiang? Chunxiang has two children with her."

It's no wonder she was surprised. The Zhao family settled down here and had their own residential land in the blink of an eye. At the same time, blue brick houses were built in four courtyards. Although the land was rented from Wuyan's family, they still had land.

I heard that 15 acres of winter wheat have been planted there. She also heard that when spring comes, the brothers will reclaim some more wasteland.

Moreover, several brothers were working as helpers in Qingqing's family, and each of them received one or two taels of silver per month. According to Zhao Nan's current conditions, as long as he asked, he could marry the daughter of any good family.

Gu Qingqing was amused by her expression, and kept smiling as she spoke, "As for this matter, it is probably that Wang Ba and Lu Dou are attracted to each other. If we can help to match them up, then let's do it. I don't know if Chun Xiang is interested in Zhao Nan, and I can't intervene in this matter. How about Auntie help to run a trip when you are free to test the other party's intentions."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll go to the Wang family later. If the Wang family doesn't agree, I'll find a daughter for Zhao Nan right away. Zhao Nan is a good person, so why is he afraid of not being able to find a wife?" Niu Li clapped her legs excitedly.

"There's no rush. Wait until Yuzhu is done with his work and can go to the west roof to replace you, then you can go out." Gu Qingqing reminded her.

"Haha, I know. Don't worry about it."

"Okay. We can't leave Meihua alone for a long time. You should go back soon, and I will follow too." Gu Qingqing said as she stood up and was about to leave.

Niu Li was quick to stop the mother and daughter and said, "The eggs in my pot are cooked. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Eat the eggs first." Niu Li hurriedly scooped the cooked eggs into a bowl, scooped a spoonful of brown sugar with a spoon, and let her and Wen Xin eat two brown sugar eggs each before letting them go.

Gu Qingqing went to look for Niu Li early in the morning. At noon, Niu Li came in a hurry in the snow and brought good news. "The other party is willing. Here, this is the birth date. The other party said that if there is a good day, it can be done."

The other party was quite anxious for Wang Chunxiang to marry again, mainly because Wang Chu was going to marry a new wife in the spring of next year, and it was not a good idea for her, a girl who had married and returned, to always live in her parents' home.

Then the news ran to Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan's ears as if it had legs. Zhao Nan, who was happy the previous second, became worried the next second.

He would marry her when the time was right, but right now he and Zhao Dong didn't have a blue brick house.

They had agreed at the beginning to build houses for Zhao Feng and the other three who had families first. They assumed that the blue bricks used in Zhao Bei's house were bought by Wuyan. And it just so happened that Zhao Bei and Wen Shengxi were engaged, so that house must be reserved for Zhao Bei to use when he marries Wen Shengxi.

Zhao Bei has a new house now. Since he and Dong Ge don't want to live there anymore, he doesn't want to live there either, so he is still squeezed in the bamboo house with them.

What would he do even if good days were coming soon?

You can't just marry her and let her live in the bamboo house, right?

This won’t work!

It was Zhao Dong who made the first decision, "Let Old Yang look up the almanac first."

This made Zhao Nan even more depressed. The 29th day of the lunar year and the 18th day of the first lunar month of next year are both good days. The next good day will be in the winter of next year.

The new house can only be built before the beginning of spring after the New Year. By then, we will definitely miss the first two good days. Once winter comes...

Seeing Zhao Nan's rare anxious look, Zhao Dong habitually considered them. Finally, he scratched his head and said, "There are only a few days left. The time before the New Year is too tight, so it can only be the 18th day of the first lunar month after the New Year. Now only Zhao Bei has a new house. Fortunately, it will take a few years for him to marry Shengxi. Otherwise, you can change the homestead..."

Zhao Nan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hey, Brother Dong, this is a good idea."

Zhao Dong rolled his eyes at him, almost saying "bullshit", then looked at Zhao Nan's no longer young face, and finally didn't say it, "We have to talk to Wuyan about this. If we want to change the homestead now, we need their consent. After all, when Zhao Bei and Wen Shengxi got engaged, they said that the yard was theirs. The three of us will go there for the party."

"Yes, yes, that's what we should do. If they are willing, I will use my own money to build a blue brick kitchen for Zhao Bei on the basis of the original one as compensation." Zhao Nan said as he thought about the silver he got during the Chinese New Year.

Except for the money they contributed together to buy the residential land and bricks for building the house, the rest of the income was kept by each of them.

Only Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei's money were combined.

It was not yet time for dinner when the three of them arrived at the Wen family's place.

Wen Wuyan told Gu Qingqing about the matter directly. Although Gu Qingqing told Wen Shengxi about the matter, she was the one who made the final decision.

Just change rooms. Fang Zheng and his wife can't get married even if they live nearby.

Zhao Nan was grateful and thanked everyone in the room.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar year, people paste new window paper to “drive away the chaotic old age” and “welcome the Jade Emperor” to welcome the New Year.

Gu Zhuangzhuang drove a donkey and brought Gu Jiashi here. He made a new coat for each of the children in the family. Looking at her daughter's belly, Gu Jiashi specifically told her not to go to Shuangxi Village on the second day of the New Year, and she would come over after the New Year when she gave birth.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar year, every household kills pigs and cuts meat.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar year, poultry are slaughtered and brought to the big market.

Early in the morning, Zhao Qin, Wu Fang and Zhao Nan went to the town. At noon, led by Niu Li, they took a piece of red cotton cloth, a silver hairpin and a pair of earrings to Wang's house and decided to pick them up on the 18th day of the first lunar month.

When a farmer's family got married, and one of the parties was getting married for the second time, the Wang family did not ask for a grand wedding or any dowry. They only asked that Zhao Nan treat Chunxiang and the children well in the future.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, people make rice cakes and paste couplets.

Last year, the children’s handwriting looked like scribbles, but this year they can write neatly. However, they still don’t have the chance to stick their handwriting on the doors of the front yard and the inner courtyard.

Therefore, this year's backyard looks particularly prosperous because of the many red papers and black words pasted on it.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, we steam buns and fry meat.

New Year's Eve...
