Chu Ning originally wanted to stay at home to hide and relax, but now that Chu Jing said so, she stopped being lazy and accompanied everyone to Qin's house.
In fact, she felt that for a man as old as Chu Shouli, no matter how honest he was, he would not be pushed to the ground and bullied, but the little girls would most likely be wronged, so she followed him.
When Qin Jiangyuan saw her at first sight, his eyes turned red.
It is said that enemies look at each other with special eyes, and this is probably the case.
"Second uncle, have a great New Year."
Chu Ning smiled harmlessly and brightly.
However, Qin Jiangyuan suddenly shuddered.
This damn girl laughs so horribly.
He stared at Chu Ning, not daring to be careless at all. Suddenly, Chu Ning's cloak moved, and he was so frightened that he jumped up and down and hid behind Lao Qin's head, "Big, big New Year, don't
You are messing around."
Chu Ning shrugged innocently, "Why can't I understand what my second uncle said?"
As she said that, she took her hand out of her cloak and looked at Old Shen, "Grandma, this is our family's New Year's greeting."
When old Mrs. Shen saw that it was a box of exquisite pastries, her eyes immediately lit up, "Hey, good, good, grandma likes this one."
While they were talking here, Chu Shouli also took off his backpack and said, "There is nothing good at home. Ning'er hunted these game animals in the mountains and gave them to his father-in-law and mother-in-law to try."
Lao Qintou looked at their family's clothes, his eyes sparkling, "Well, Ning Yatou is a capable person. Come on, be polite, don't worry about those things, just leave them to your elder brother and them to clean up. We haven't seen each other for a long time.
, come here, sit down, drink some tea and talk."
Brothers Qin Jiangzhou and Qin Jiangyuan happily carried their backpacks to the kitchen, but soon they both came back, sitting on the bench with their legs crossed, talking to Chu Shouli.
Those who don’t know the attitude are treated as guests.
Because they were not sure what the attitude of Qin Shouli's family was, they deliberately did not visit relatives and stayed at home to see the situation. However, Chu Dalang and Chu Erlang accompanied their daughter-in-law to Yue's house, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Kong also took several children with them.
I went back to my parents' home.
In other words, none of the women cooking were at home.
Qin's face looked a little bad.
That was all before. The Chinese New Year was no different from usual days. She wore old coats on both sides and was not afraid of getting dirty when doing work. But today she was dressed up carefully, but she didn’t want to go to the darkened kitchen at all.
Make a fire and cook.
With this in mind, she went to see Chu Jing, trying to give her a hint so that she could take over the job of her own accord.
But Chu Ning didn't give her a chance and directly took Chu Jing and the two little ones to play outside.
The dark and dilapidated house was not only groggy, but also as cold as an ice kiln. It was really uninhabitable. As for Old Shen's hot kang head, Chu Ning was really grateful but not sensitive.
It was dark and dirty, and it made me feel sick just looking at it.
If she hadn't cared about Chu Shouli's face, she would have wanted to leave immediately.
I really couldn't stay for a minute.
"Oh, whose girl is this? Why does she look so beautiful?"
An extremely exaggerated voice suddenly sounded, startling Chu Tian and Chu Ran who were playing. Chu Jing was also startled, "Happy New Year, auntie."
Chu Ning couldn't help but frowned when she looked at Aunt Qin who was dressed like a beggar.
The family is really poor, and the cheap parents don’t have any good relatives.
Qin Yueniang, also known as Aunt Qin, has not been away from her parents' home for many years since her marriage to the mountains. She was able to come back today because she spent a lot of money asking for it.
Because she said she could borrow money from her parents' family to buy a wife for her younger son, her mean mother-in-law relaxed.
Along the way, her hair was so worried that her hair would turn gray. She was afraid that her parents would not be able to explain it to her when she returned home if they didn't borrow the money.
But now she's not worried.
"Second sister, you must help the eldest sister."
Aunt Qin held Mrs. Qin's hand and cried until she burst into tears. She was as sad as a dead mother, not to mention how sad she was. "You don't know how my eldest sister has endured all these years? It was so close, so close to you."
You can’t see me anymore, wuwu...
Ying Niang, you can’t just live a good life by yourself, your parents, brothers and eldest sister still don’t have enough to eat..."
Chu Ning was upset after hearing this, and turned around to leave, but saw her uncle Qu Laoqi pulling towards Aunt Qin with a blushing face, "My dear, why are you talking about this during the Chinese New Year..."
She looked away calmly, and then secretly glanced at the children of the Qu family.
Qu Dalang was already married, and he also came to his mother-in-law's family, so he did not come. Following Qu Laoqi and his wife to his grandmother's house were Qu Shuchun, the second son of the Qu family, and two girls who had not yet had hairpins, Qu Qiulian and Qu Qiumei.
The three of them stood silently behind Aunt Qin as a background with their heads lowered, very low-key.
"Look at me..."
Pulled away by her husband, Aunt Qin quickly put away her tears and said, "I haven't seen my second sister for many years. I don't talk too much when I'm happy. Second sister, my second brother-in-law, don't laugh at me."
Chu Ning felt that this aunt was quite eloquent, anyway, she was more eloquent than Uncle Qu.
Aunt Qin was so excited that she used a little more strength. In addition, her hands, which had been working all year round, were as rough and rough as dry tree bark. It hurt Qin's hands when she squeezed them. She was secretly annoyed.
.
Now I finally withdrew my hand and quickly put it behind my back to wipe it.
"Well, well, eldest sister came just in time. It's time to cook at this time..." Before Qin could finish her words, Aunt Qin rolled up her sleeves neatly, "I'll go, I'll do it, so don't get involved."
, to avoid getting your clothes dirty.”
Chu Ning glanced at Mr. Qin lightly, then turned his head away expressionlessly, only to meet a pair of dark eyes, that of Erlang of the Qu family.
The sixteen-year-old boy has grown into an adult. He is very tall, a head taller than Uncle Qu. He is just too skinny. He has no flesh on his body and his face is too thin.
He is about to lose his appearance, and it looks very shocking.
Not to mention the rags he was wearing, he looked like a beggar.
Fortunately, he had a pair of beautiful eyes. Although they were as dark as a deep pool and as heavy as ink clouds, they added a lot to his beauty.
Aunt Qin was used to being frugal, so she didn't want to use so much meat. She only soaked the mushrooms she brought home, then picked out the smallest pheasant and filled a large pot of water, which turned out to be bland.
chicken soup.
Qin Jiangyuan's face turned green, "Are you asking us to drink enough soup?"
He wanted to have a nice meal, but he was served a basin of soup, which was soup without any oil.
Aunt Qin said, "The meat and fungi are all down there, but there are no young or old. You guys can all share a bowl, and you'll be full if you drink some soup."
Qin's face didn't look good either, "Then what shall we eat?"
Aunt Qin looked at her in surprise, "Isn't there soup? It's enough for one person to drink two bowls."
Chu Ning...
Want to curse.
Qu Qiulian and Qu Qiumei have kept their heads down since they entered the Qin family's courtyard. They were like dumb people and didn't even bark. But now they can talk when they see food, "Mom, can I drink half a bowl more?"
?”
Chu Ning...
It's very frustrating.
She hated this feeling so much. Being with these people, she felt like an alien.
Just when Chu Ning was doubting his life, Uncle Qu spoke up, "Why are you so ignorant? You can't finish good food in one meal. With those chicken soups, your grandma can still add some cabbage for two meals."
