Chapter 65 New Year's greetings and Lin Zhu's gift
ps: It is released, and the excitement is beyond words. I would like to express my special thanks to the editor Huanhuan and all book friends for their support. I will work harder and more articles, so please pay attention.
The next day was the first day of the New Year. Lin Zhu woke up with the sound of firecrackers. Seeing that Chang's mother had prepared all the wash water, she said, "Mom Chang, good New Year." Then she got up, washed up first, and put on new clothes. This was specially prepared for the New Year, made of the light red fabric given by Dr. Zhang. The color was very suitable for her and looked cute and pleasant. "Well, our little bamboo girl is good, Antai Duofu, and Fu Dou'er lived a hundred years of life." Chang's mother said as she combed her flat bun and put on a pink silk flower. It was made of Youqing. Chang's mother also thought it was very beautiful. She made Lin Zhu a larger purse and added a long strap, which could be cross-shoulder on her shoulders.
After dressing up, Ruyu came to the door after eating two dumplings. "Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu, are you ready? We should leave." Before the people arrived, the voice came into the house first. Lin Zhu heard it and quickly put down his chopsticks, "Mama Chang, I won't eat anymore, let's go first." "Well, go out slowly, let them all come to the house later. I have prepared some small things, you can give them to them." "Okay." Lin Zhu pulled her arm gratefully and shook it, "Thank you, Mama Chang." "Okay, go, don't let Xiaoyu wait for a long time." Mama Chang touched Lin Zhu's head lovingly, then turned around and took out two handkerchiefs, one of which was put in her purse, and the other asked her to give it to Ruyu.
After Lin Zhu put it away, she went out to meet Ruyu and waved to Chang's mother standing at the door, "Mama Chang, go back to the house, we're leaving." Ruyu also greeted, "Happy Chinese New Year, prepare the delicious food, I'll eat it later." After that, she walked out with Lin Zhu. Chang's mother smiled and went back to the house. She had no scheming about this and spoke straightforwardly. The cute Xiaoyu also turned around and entered the house. She took care of Fu Dou'er who was about to wake up, and prepared what Ruyu said was delicious.
Ruyu held Lin Zhu's hand and ran towards the village. There was still some snow on the road, "Xiao Yu, slow down." Lin Zhu had to hold Ruyu and prevent her from running away quickly, "Wait. I have something for you." "What?" Ruyu stopped when she heard it, and looked at Lin Zhu curiously, "For the handkerchief embroidered by Chang's mother," Lin Zhu handed Ruyu to Ruyu, "This is specially prepared by Chang's mother." Two goldfish were embroidered on the light pink handkerchief, with delicate stitches and vividness. Ruyu fell in love with it at the sight, and held it in her hand and couldn't put it down. Along the way, she kept telling Lin Zhu how much she liked this handkerchief and how beautiful the handkerchief was.
When they met with the other three friends in the village, they took out their handkerchiefs to show off, so that the children could fly to her with all kinds of envious eyes. When they heard that it was made by Chang's mother of Lin Zhu's family for her, Lin Zhu's eyes became Lin Zhu. The eyes mixed with "I want them too" were too enthusiastic, and Lin Zhu had to tell everyone the good news in advance. "Mom Chang has prepared for everyone, I'll go to my house later." With her words, everyone let her go and happily went to the village to pay New Year's greetings.
Along the way, I met many people from Linjia Village who came out to pay New Year's greetings to their elders, relatives, and friends. Everyone looked happy. From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, Lin Zhu and others gained a lot. In fact, the happiest thing about the New Year is children. They can eat delicious food that they can't eat normally, and receive a lot of snacks and New Year's money. I don't know how much laughter and joy were spread along the way.
After everyone walked in the village, they were about to go to Lin Zhu's house, but the five-member group followed him again. It was Xiaoli, the youngest daughter of Ruyu's uncle Lin Changsheng's family. Ruyu had complained to Lin Zhu and didn't like this sister, but she was happy during the Chinese New Year, so she didn't care much about the past small festivals.
So a group of six people came to Lin Zhu's house. As soon as they entered the gate, Ruyu shouted inside, "Mom Chang, I'm here." When Chang's mother heard the movement, she went out and saw Ruyu and Lin Zhu heading, and there were four little girls behind her, and she smiled and asked them all to enter the house. "Come in quickly, it's very cold outside. Come in and warm up the house for a while. I'll bring you some delicious food."
The Fu Douer in the room is also awake now, so she is not afraid of everyone making noise. When everyone sees such a cute little bun, they rush to play with him. The little bun has never seen so many people, so they don’t recognize their lives at all. They look at this and that with big round eyes open, and look at this and that.
Mama Chang took out the handkerchief prepared for everyone. Because she didn't expect that one more person would come, she gave Xiaoli a purse, and the others were all a handkerchief. Xiaoli was a little unhappy when she saw that she didn't have her handkerchief, but when she saw the purse in her hand, it was finely crafted and had the word "Fu" embroidered on it, she immediately liked it.
Ruyu Chang's mother knew each other, but the others had only heard Lin Zhu mentioned it, but they didn't know each other. The first person mentioned that the one who bought silk flowers from Lin Zhu was Lin Xiaowan. Her brother Lin Yingjie and Ruyu's second brother Lin Hongyuan were studying together, so the two families were familiar with each other and had a good relationship. Ruyu and Xiaowan naturally had a good relationship. The other two were called Lin Chunliu and the other was Lin Xialian. You can tell when they were born by the name. They were sisters, and the family also had a good relationship with the Ruyu family and the Xiaowan family. Finally, they were Lin Xiaoli, the sister of Ruyu's uncle's family. Ruyu just briefly introduced to Chang's mother.
No matter what their private relationship is, Chang's mother treats them equally. Everyone gives candy and snacks, and fills their purses. Lin Zhu doesn't like to eat these, so she doesn't feel distressed. The other five people were so happy. Lin Zhu's snacks were bought from the county town, much better than the ones in the town. They look delicious. Everyone is not polite. They all eat happily. Lin Xiaoli didn't expect that Lin Zhu, who is lonely in her mother's mouth, would be so generous. Although she was taught a little bit rude by her mother, she has not only restrained her a lot since her father taught her to be a lesson, but also she has a lot of sensible under her father's guidance. She has a different view of Lin Zhu.
The five of them were playing at Lin Zhu's house for a while. Seeing that Fu Dou'er's little bun was a little sleepy, they were all sensible and were about to go home. Chang's mother smiled and said that they would come over to play when they had time. Because they wanted to coax Fu Dou'er to sleep, they did not send them out. Lin Zhu took them out of the gate.
After the five of them returned home, they would receive gifts from Lin Zhu's house. They played for a while and told their family about the matter. The other families did not respond. The others pressed and did not mention it. After Lin Xiaoli returned home, she saw that her parents were all at home, so she took out all the purse and snacks she got from Lin Zhu for them to see. Wenshan's lady saw that the purse was exquisite, "Is this also given to you?" She didn't believe that Lin Zhu would be so generous. She gave Lin Zhu three hundred cents for stolen crops before, which made her feel distressed when she thought of it. "Well, Mom Chang didn't know that I was going too. What she prepared for them was a handkerchief for each of them.
Mine is this purse." "What are their handkerchiefs? They won't be better than this, right?" Wenshan's calculating nature emerged again. Lin Changsheng was a little unhappy when he listened on the side. The child happily received the gift and asked the mother to compare it. "What do you think our daughter's purse is good, and she has such a big word "Fu" is good." He said to Lin Xiaoli again, "No matter what, this is the other person's will, please keep it well." "Well, dad, I will." After that, he happily took the purse into his room.
"You, don't always talk to your children about these things, and don't be too serious. It's enough for children to play together. Besides, if our daughter suffers grievances at that family, will she be so happy when she comes back?" Wen Shan's lady had nothing to say after hearing his words, but she always had some grudges towards Lin Zhu, and she didn't think that it was caused by her lack of greed.
After Ruyu returned home, she also showed the handkerchief to her family. Aunt Li saw that the goldfish was embroidered as if it was real, and she knew that the craft was extraordinary. After asking her that it was embroidered by her mother, she had the idea of letting Ruyu and Youqing learn embroidery skills with her. However, she still had to ask Lin Zhu and Chang's mother before she could tell her two daughters. Youqing also looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief and looked over and over again. She was about to tell Ruyu that she would borrow it for a few days, but before she could speak, Ruyu grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, looking at her as if she was facing a great enemy, and seemed to say, "Who dares to ask me to be anxious with me." Youqing looked at her sister funny, and didn't say the idea of borrowing it, and pointed Ruyu's forehead with her hand, "Look at your stingy!" The others in the family looked at Ruyu with laughter.
"Mom, do you think I can go to Chang's mother to learn the embroidery craftsmanship?" Youqing's craftsmanship was only learned from Aunt Li. Although she was better than her, her craftsmanship was still mediocre. She liked these very much, so when she saw such exquisite craftsmanship, she felt a little happy. "I'll ask Xiaozhu and Chang's mother first. Xiaozhu is okay, but we don't understand Chang's mother." Aunt Li didn't say anything. She heard Lin Zhu say that Chang's mother came from a wealthy family, and this craft may not be easily taught.
With Aunt Li's words, Youqing was very happy. "Mom, Xiaoli followed us to Xiaozhu's house today." Ruyu then told Aunt Li that Xiaoli was in Lin Zhu's house. Aunt Li was a little worried at first, but when he heard Ruyu say that she was just playing with her and did not say anything unpleasant, he felt relieved. He also told Ruyu to take care of her when she took Xiaoli to play. Seeing Ruyu nodded obediently, she asked her to go back to the house to play.
Aunt Li sighed lightly. She was a little dissatisfied with Wenshan Niang, but Xiaoli was a relative of her family, so it was not easy for Ruyu to leave her alone. She turned to the kitchen to prepare lunch. This eldest daughter-in-law couldn't eat meat and had a lot of food these days. She couldn't put meat in the fried cabbage. Moreover, except for the cabbage grown from the cabbage that Lin Zhu brought, she couldn't eat the cabbage she grew. Seeing that the cabbage was about to be finished, she had to go to Lin Zhu to find some more. Even if she bought it from Lin Zhu, she had been looking forward to. After all, her long-awaited grandson is more important than anything else. (To be continued.
