(no doormat female lead ➕ male lead appears later ➕ slice of life ➕ farming life ➕ no golden finger/cheats ➕ revenge on scumbags ➕ sweet romance ➕ ensemble cast ➕ family affairs)
The atmosphere on the scene was so joyful.
Qiao Jiangxin glanced at the crowd but did not see his aunt Liu Ahua.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, with loving mothers and filial children, close and harmonious relationships between sisters, happy younger generations, and kind elders. From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard from the scene.
It was so nice that Qiao Jiangxin couldn't bear to ruin such a nice atmosphere.
She walked towards the door, and Liu Guobing said to Qiao Jiangxin while pulling out the hair, "Jiang Xin, what are you doing standing at the door? Go inside and warm yourself by the fire."
Qiao Jiangxin peeled a candy and put it in his mouth, "Uncle, I'm not cold, I'm wearing a thick cotton coat."
"By the way, haven't Aunt and the others arrived yet?"
Liu Guobing paused for a moment, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he said vaguely, "She hasn't come yet. If she had, your aunt would have come to help a long time ago. There were several quarrels in the Xu family this year, and your aunt didn't come before the New Year's Eve. She met your grandfather on the way and asked him to bring back some steamed buns. I guess she was angry."
Qiao Jiangxin pretended to be confused and asked, "What's going on with the Xu family?"
Liu Guobing sighed, "What else can they do? It's just because of Taozi. Taozi didn't come back for the New Year, and your aunt was still standing at the entrance of the village waiting for her on New Year's Eve. You know her mother-in-law, she's a tough one. She carried a stool and stood at the door of her house, scolding her for several days."
Qiao Jiang thought, "Didn't Taozi tell her family? She said there were a lot of rumors in the village and she wouldn't be back for the New Year. Everyone knows about Second Aunt Xu's nephew entering her house."
Liu Guobing looked unhappy and said, "That being said, hey, the Xu family is a mess. They didn't want Taozi to go back before, but now that they see Taozi can make money, they force Taozi to go back.
On New Year's Eve, the old woman from the Xu family forced your aunt and your aunt's daughter to go to the city to buy Taozi back, saying that she was going to tell her that she was married, saying that girls in these families had played around outside and their hearts were wild, and they didn't even miss home during the New Year, so they were giving up their jobs in the store to boys.
Your aunt is also a careless person. She listens to her mother in everything. She actually took people to catch peaches, but was stopped by your aunt.
Because of this, your aunt even picked up a hoe and almost dug her mother-in-law's head out and made it bleed...
Later, your second uncle and I took your cousin Xiaojian to the Xu family. The Xu family spoke very rudely. We went there to support your aunt, but the Xu family scolded us for alienating Taozi from the Xu family, but she didn't say a word. ”
Liu Guobing recalled the incident the day before yesterday, and his tone was filled with anger.
That was New Year's Eve. If their brothers had not arrived in time, the eldest sister would have been bullied to death by the Xu family.
As a result, the old woman spoke so rudely and spat a lot of shit, but the eldest sister didn't say a word.
Maybe she thought so too.
Qiao Jiang was confused about the grudges of the previous generation, and he was no longer in the mood to ask anything. Everyone had their own reasons, and they seemed like everyone had their own positions and grievances.
In the house, Liu Afang and the others finished their tea and were ready to go to Liu Guohua's house (second uncle) with their things. Qiao Jiangxin whispered, "Aren't you going to wait for Auntie?"
After these words came out, Liu Axia asked, "Is the eldest sister not here yet? I thought she had already gone to the fourth brother's house."
The joy on Liu Tielang's face slowly faded, and he said in a complicated tone, "He hasn't come yet. I guess he was delayed."
Liu Afang said, "Then let's go to our eldest sister's house to wish her a happy new year first. Our eldest sister is the oldest. After wishing her a happy new year, we will go to our second brother's house with our eldest sister."
"Let me see." Liu Axia agreed with her younger sister's suggestion, and lowered her head to take out a pound of fruit candy from the basket she brought.
Qiao Jiangxin also quickly took out the biscuits and candies prepared for her aunt and followed behind her second aunt.
After coming out of Liu's house, the joy on everyone's faces faded a lot. Not to mention Liu Axia and the others, even the younger generations of Qiu Shi's generation didn't like going to their aunt's house.
