Chapter 59 Chinese New Year

Shen Yuling was so angry that she secretly wanted to do it herself during the winter vacation. But on the first day of the winter vacation, she was mercilessly ridiculed by her living conditions.

Sugar cakes have to be freshly fried to be delicious. If she wants to sell fried dough sticks and sugar cakes, she must at least have a small stove, a small iron pot, and some odds and ends such as oil and sugar. But now her family only has one.

The big iron pot for cooking was out of oil, and there was nothing else.

If you want to buy these things, you have to spend money, but the family has spent all the money on building a house. This kind of situation makes Shen Yuling's ambition to do business suddenly come to a dead end.

Shen Yuling was a little unwilling to give in, but the conditions were here, and there was nothing he could do if he was not willing to give in. The final plan to improve living conditions ended in vain again.

But even if it was difficult to improve her life, Shen Yuling was determined not to compromise on the matter of going to school.

Because there was an extra harvest of sweet potatoes this year, Fang Youshun did not buy any more food this winter due to the allowance. So during the winter vacation this year, in addition to the candy she got because she still ranked among the best, Shen Yuxiu also got a red rope.

This was specially chosen by Fang Youshun for the two girls. During the Chinese New Year, the children could also be more festive. The reason why they chose the headband was because they were afraid that if they bought one that could be used by all the children, Shen Yuzhen would ask Shen Yuxiu to let it go.

He thought, this rope is for girls, there should be no reason for Shen Yuzhen to let the child out, right?

But in the end, Fang Youshun still underestimated Shen Yuzhen's dedication. As soon as he distributed the red headband to the two girls, he heard Shen Yuzhen say: "Xiaoxiu, it's time for our eldest brother to get married in the new year. I'll keep our headband for him."

Just use it for a blind date. When the time comes, the headband will be given to the new sister-in-law, she will definitely be happy."

Fang Youshun was almost speechless. For fear of making Shen Yuxiu angry again, he tied a red headband around her head and kicked her out to play.

After driving Shen Yuxiu away, Fang Youshun turned around and said to Shen Yuzhen with a smile: "Even if your eldest brother goes on a blind date, there is no need to give them headbands. You can just keep yours for your future sister-in-law. You don't need Yuxiu's. Okay."

, there’s nothing to do here, just go home.”

After saying that, Fang Youshun turned away from looking at Shen Yuzhen who changed her face at what he said. He washed his hands and moved the panel to the kang and put it away, ready to knead the buns with Grandma Fang.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and his family is not short of food now. His wife said that he wants to steam steamed white flour steamed buns so that his daughter can go out to visit relatives and give gifts during the Chinese New Year. Of course he has to help.

When Shen Yuzhen saw that Fang Youshun had finished speaking, she turned around and started working. She didn't even have the slightest intention of paying attention to her, so she turned around and went home with a bad expression.

This grandpa is too partial to the second sister. They both have red headbands, why do they just let her out? She also likes the red headbands.

Grandma Fang looked back at Shen Yuzhen who was holding her mouth and leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.

Now that things have happened, she can finally see that this eldest granddaughter just likes to be a good person, and to be a good person, she has to put her little sleeves on her back. If she can't help others, she is the only one who loses the benefits, so she is unhappy.

What kind of temperament is this?

No, she still has to find a way to talk to this child in the future. This child has a bad temper.

Grandma Fang sighed and took the basin out of the pot, and started kneading the dough with Fang Youshun. At the same time, she also decided that even if she bought food in the future, she wouldn't buy it for anyone in particular. Whoever came more diligently would eat more.

It’s no wonder that she didn’t come early enough to get something to eat. There was no need for the eldest granddaughter to keep trying to pick things out of Xiao Xiu’s hands every day and be a good person.

Nowadays, everyone is not rich in food. Those who can put up Spring Festival couplets and eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year this year are from the best families. It would be even worse if the dumplings have meat fillings. As for wearing new clothes

There are basically no new hats in this village this year, including Shen Yuxiu.

It's not that Fang Youshun didn't want to buy it for her, but it was really dry in the spring and he couldn't get much cotton. But the children were growing taller, so he had to spend all his allowance to buy cotton for the children first.

Thick cotton-padded clothes. When a person is alive, he must first be fed and clothed, right?

Of course, when Grandma Fang was making cotton-padded jackets and trousers, she didn't leave Zhao Hui behind. After all, this child had done a lot of work for the family this winter. It would be fine if he didn't give them money. It would be unreasonable if he didn't even make cotton-padded clothes.

.

What's more, the cotton-padded clothes on this child are very thin, and his nose is snotty from the cold every day, which makes people feel distressed to see him.

Of course, cotton is very expensive now, and the cotton-padded clothes of the adults and children in my family are not all new cotton. Of course, what Grandma Fang made for Zhao Hui cannot be brand new.

She just waited for a good day and asked Zhao Hui to take off his cotton-padded clothes and stay on the kang covered with quilts. Then she took apart his cotton-padded clothes and took the old cotton to the bow room to play again.

, added some new cotton, and then used the old clothes that Grandpa Fang had washed before, changed the size, and made him a new suit.

Although this outfit is not very good, it is definitely better than what Zhao Hui was wearing before, and it is also thicker and warmer.

When Zhao Hui put on the cotton-padded jacket and trousers that Grandma Fang had made for him, his eyes were filled with tears.

Over the years, the cotton-padded clothes he wore no longer fit him, and were too thin to protect him from the cold. Every winter, he would always be so cold that his bones ached, and his teeth would chatter when he slept at night.

But now that he is wearing these clothes, all the bones in his body no longer hurt, and his body that has been curled up all day can slowly stretch out. Whether it is his body or his heart, he feels warm and comfortable every day.

Zhao Hui took great care of this cotton-padded coat and became very careful when working every day, for fear that he might accidentally stain or tear the clothes.

It was not that the Zhao couple didn't notice the changes in Zhao Hui's clothes, but because the fabric of his cotton-padded clothes was old and had a lot of patches, they thought they were clothes picked up by someone who didn't wear them, so they didn't notice.

Too concerned.

The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month is the last market day in the village.

Because the Shen brothers now have new homes, there are a lot of couplets to write this year. Shen Jinggui saw that the workload was a bit heavy, and was afraid that Shen Yuwen's slow writing style would not be finished by the end of the year, so he left Shen Yulin behind.

The family helped Shen Yuwen write it.

After all, Shen Yulin is now in the third grade and has learned a lot of Chinese characters. Even if he doesn't know how to write some characters, he can also describe them by imitating a cat or a tiger. Regardless of whether the characters are written well or not, it is still cheaper than going out to ask someone to write couplets.

Heart.

Shen Yulin was locked up in his parents' house and wrote couplets every day, but Shen Yuxiu was a free man. She was not needed to steam buns at home, nor to write couplets, so she just ran around in the market laughing and joking with her friends.

Already.

Although people's living conditions are not very good nowadays, they attach great importance to the Chinese New Year. Therefore, there are still many people from the surrounding villages coming to the market.

Some sell chickens, ducks and geese, some sell Stove King New Year paintings and perpetual calendars, and some sell all kinds of daily necessities and small things. Shen Yuxiu and his friends looked at each stall amidst all kinds of shouts, and they just stared at each other.

I was dazzled and my little face turned red when I ran away.

I don’t know if it’s because there are so many people lending her sweet potatoes this year, but now she is quite popular among the children in the village. It’s not that those children suddenly became nice to her, at least they won’t do it intentionally anymore.

Find trouble with her and talk to her properly.

In fact, children celebrate the New Year with just two words: eat and play.

With food and people to play with, they won't have anything to worry about.

It was also because her friends could get along with her peacefully again. Shen Yuxiu had been playing quite crazy this year. She almost never left home without opening her eyes. She was nowhere to be seen at home until dinner and night.

So when Shen Yuxiu came home that day and saw two strangers talking to Fang Youshun, she was stunned for a moment.
