Chapter 40 40. New Year's greetings
Chapter 40 40. New Year’s greetings
After all, in addition to wishing New Year's greetings to the Lin family, they went to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief Zhou Guitang, and the two were half-brothers, but Zhou Guitang was raised by Zhou Guilin's mother, and Zhou Guilin's parents are still there, and they live with Zhou Guitang. Zhou Guitang's family is also very filial to their parents.
On the other hand, Lin Yizheng took the basket out of the house, took his younger brother and sister straight to Zhou Guitang's house, greeted Zhou Guitang's family for New Year's greetings, put down his things, and then moved to Zhou Guihe's house. It happened that Zhou Guihe's wife, Sun Damei, was at home. Seeing that Lin Yizheng and the other four were so interested, they took the cloth bag handed over by Lin Yizheng, and each of them had a 20 cent red envelope. They took out the shoes he gave to the four of them, and then put them away.
After leaving Zhou Guihe's house, Lin Yizheng and the other four went to the old Zhou family. Zhou Jinshi was more interested in these four people than Sun Damei. She gave them red envelopes and stuffed their pockets with snacks. Then she took out her cloth sent by Lin Qingxi to make a set of underwear and socks for each of the four of them.
"Thank you, great grandma," Lin Yizheng and the other two were very happy. This feeling of being cared for was so good, and they were reluctant to leave.
"I'm thankful for this. Your sister-in-law brought this cloth. My grandma just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha," Zhou Jin said with a smile. The cloth sent by Lin Qingxi not only made everyone in Zhou's hometown make a set of underwear, but also made two pairs of shorts for several men in the family.
Therefore, the whole Zhou family was very grateful to Lin Qingxi. Zhou Jin made clothes for Lin Yizheng and the other four, and the female family members of the Zhou family helped do a lot of work.
Lin Qingxi is so generous to them that they have to repay their favors. Jin Dahua and her two daughters-in-law often carry the whole family to Lin Qingxi with pickles and pickled cabbage lumps, which are all made by themselves.
Of course, Jin Dahua thought she was carrying the whole family on her back, but everyone in the Zhou family knew that it was just not pointed out.
"Yizheng, you four are having dinner at home at noon! Boss, go and call Xiyato to come for lunch. Everyone, take Yumei and Cuilan to prepare lunch," Zhou Jin sat on the kang, holding Yikang in his arms, and told everyone to do things, just like the old lady in ancient times.
"Oh, I'll go now," Zhou Guijiang said, got up, got out of the kang and put on his shoes and went out.
"Mom, then I'm going to go now. Minghui, go to your second uncle's house and ask your second uncle and his family to come to the house for dinner," Jin Dahua said, and took his two daughters-in-law to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
For a moment, the old Zhou family was very lively, and several young people kept chatting. Zhou Jinshi and Zhou Daye were sitting on the kang, watching the children talk about it.
On the Lin family, Lin Qingxi had just sent Zhou Guilin's family to pay New Year's greetings. Before she could sit down and rest, Zhou Guijiang came over.
After hearing Zhou Guijiang's words, Lin Qingxi was unable to refuse her affection. She went to the kitchen to get ten meat buns wrapped in cloth, and followed Zhou Guijiang to the old Zhou family.
The lunch prepared by Jin Dahua was very rich, which was the only time that the old Zhou family had eaten such a sumptuous meal in many years. Everyone was very satisfied and happy.
After the first day of the lunar calendar, no one from the Lin family came to pay New Year's greetings. On the fourth day of the lunar calendar, Lin Qingxi took Lin Yizheng and his four brothers to Qinghe City Courtyard to greet Zhang Qingguo and his family.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, Happy New Year, I'll bring my children to greet you," Lin Qingxi parked her bicycle downstairs, carried her four children upstairs and came to the Zhang family with her four children.
"Oh, the girl Xi is here, I said that there were magpies calling on the tree this morning. It turned out that there were distinguished guests coming to the door!" Chen Xiaocui pulled Lin Qingxi and couldn't stop smiling. She hurriedly invited them into the house and welcomed them to the living room to sit down.
"Aunt, haven't you and my Uncle Zhang returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year?" Lin Qingxi didn't know much about the Zhang family. She was not a talkative or meddling person at all, so she would not take the initiative to ask about other people's family affairs.
"No, your Uncle Zhang is busy with work, Kang Kang is still young, and the capital is too cold. We are not at ease when we travel a long distance, so we just waited for June to take our children to live there for two months."
Chen Xiaocui was worried about her children and husband, so she simply stopped going. Anyway, the Chinese New Year is just like that.
"That's fine. Kang Kang is a premature baby. You should raise it carefully after the age of three, especially in winter, and in summer, he should not be greedy for coolness. His stomach and intestines are weak, and the taste is not as good as spicy as it is. It depends on the situation after the age of three," Lin Qingxi said patiently.
"Girl Xi is here," Anru just fed the child and came out of the room with her child in her arms. When she heard what Lin Qingxi said, she was very grateful.
"San Sister-in-law," Lin Qingxi saw Anru and quickly called someone to come. Then, Lin Yizheng and others shouted, "San Sister."
"Auntie, I'm asking for something today. Yizheng is not young anymore. I plan to send them to Qinghe City to study. My aunt has lived in Qinghe City for several months. I want to help me take a look at the house and school."
Lin Qingxi did not hide it. She knew that the Zhang family owed her favors, so she gave the Zhang family the opportunity to repay favors. In this way, the relationship between her and the Zhang family would not be burdened.
"Don't worry, I've done this for you. Do you have any requirements for this house?" Chen Xiaocui looked at Lin Qingxi and asked seriously.
"If you have a house, you have to live in it. It is best to bring a yard. It is not too far from the school. Yizheng and four of them are in elementary school. Yizheng were originally in the fifth grade, Yirong and Yijing were in the third grade, and Yikang was in the first grade," Lin Qingxi thought about it carefully and said nothing wrong.
"When you talk about this, I have a house that is quite suitable. Do you have time today? I'll take you to see the house now?" Chen Xiaocui said excitedly.
"Yes! Then I'll bother you, aunt," Lin Qingxi nodded and agreed without thinking.
In this way, Chen Xiaocui and Lin Qingxi left their four children at home for Anru to see, and they went out to see the house.
Lin Qingxi followed Chen Xiaocui for about twenty minutes and came to an alley. She saw Chen Xiaocui knocking on Tongling on the door. After a few minutes, an old man with a limp leg came to open the door.
"Uncle Cheng, I took my niece to see the house. Is it convenient for you to see it?" Chen Xiaocui was very respectful when she saw the visitor.
"Come in!" The lame old man looked at Lin Qingxi a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, while opening the door and putting Lin Qingxi and Chen Xiaocui in.
After the two entered the door, they did not make any noise. The lame old man even said nothing. He took Chen Xiaocui and Lin Qingxi to visit the entire house without saying a word.
