Chapter 52 After the New Year



Su Su had never thought that her father-in-law, who was so honest, could play a joke on her. She couldn't help but blink her eyes and look at him, but he said sternly, "I'm not mistaken. Anyway, you have to keep these for me."

"Okay, okay, got it." Lu's mother motioned for Su Su to continue writing, and then she prepared the dough and waited to paste the couplets.

Su Su nodded and wrote two pairs of couplets, one for the main gate and one for the outer gate. She then wrote a few Chinese characters for "Fu" and "The racks are full of golden roosters" and "The pen is full of fat pigs."

Originally, they had a pigpen but no pig, so Su Su bought a little black pig from a family in the same village, and it only cost less than fifteen yuan, which was really a bargain.

The piglet was brought back by Lu Hai, and he loved it very much. Although Lu Mu said: Why spend that money? However, she still fed it very carefully and even paid Su Su back.

Su Su waved her hands and said, "We will also eat meat during the New Year next year, so you don't need to give me this money. We are all family, just give me more food when the time comes." Ru Chuan prepared a lot of things for herself, so she had everything she needed during the New Year. But she didn't eat alone, and sometimes she would bring some of the delicious food to the front yard.

Sometimes they would take it to the front yard to eat. Anyway, the food in the family has improved a lot since she got married. The three boys didn't go hungry so they gained a lot of weight. Especially the two students' improvement in learning was really fast. Even the blind class was good. At least they could recognize a few words and learned addition and subtraction within 100.

Even Lu's mother and Lu's father learned it. They were both smart, so they learned quickly.

Su Su thinks that the Lu family is very smart. The two boys are among the best students in the class, and the two old people are also good at learning. Lu Chuan should not be stupid either, at least his comprehension ability is still acceptable.

I miss him even more during the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately I can’t even call him or send him a text message.

Fortunately, I have the company of my family members, so I don’t feel so lonely.

Although this era is poor, we still enjoy life and everything tastes delicious, unlike in modern times when we feel there is nothing to eat.

One day, the lively New Year celebration was over. They cooked six dishes, including meat and vegetables, and also made a meal of pure meat dumplings with copper coins inside. There was only one dumpling in total, and whoever got it would get it, which meant that the person would make a fortune in the new year.

Of course it's just a punt, for fun.

But everyone was very energetic, and the meat dumplings were really delicious, so they ate to their heart's content.

It is said that young boys can eat their fathers to death. Susu knew how much they eat, but she did not expect that she only ate five dumplings from the basin. Then her mother went to bring another basin. It was really shocking.

"Don't fight with them, just have one plate for yourself. Chuanzi is not here, otherwise these guys won't be able to snatch the food from him." Lu's mother said with a smile. This year's New Year's meal was really rich so she was very happy.

In addition, they had one more person, could save money, and were educated, so everyone in the village was almost envious of their family.

Although she doesn't like doing housework, she takes good care of her family and knows a lot, so what else can she ask for? Lu Mu doesn't want to be like other mothers-in-law in the village who only think about how to suppress their daughters-in-law and then distribute all the things by her as the head of the family.

Besides, she also knew her son's character. If he was in love with someone, he would do everything he could to protect her. If he really wanted to control his daughter-in-law, he would probably have to separate the family next year.

How could you not know about the child you gave birth to and raised?

That brat only cares about his own family and is very thief.

After the first day of the Chinese New Year, Su Su was shocked because her younger brother, Lu Donghe, had to kowtow to her, her sister-in-law, which was still a rule. She felt awkward for a moment, but when she saw that the tall Lu Hai had to kowtow to Lu Donghe, she felt that it was nothing.

However, isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask the male protagonist to kowtow?

While she was hesitating, the hero had already knelt down, and then the mother handed her a red envelope with a clear meaning: this was a New Year's greeting for her, so she, the sister-in-law, had to give the red envelope.

In fact, there is only one dollar in the red envelope, it’s just a token of my appreciation.

And Lu Donghe also gave red envelopes to Lu Hai and the others. This is probably a part of the Chinese New Year process.

Anyway, Su Su was quite proud in her heart. No matter what the situation was, he was the male protagonist, and he actually knelt down before a stranger like her. This was probably enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.

She was embarrassed when they called her sister-in-law at first, but now she thinks it's not bad.

After the kowtow at Luedong River, it was Luehai's turn. Although she had not prepared anything, Lue's mother had prepared it for her, each costing one yuan. In fact, if Su Su had prepared it herself, she would have packed a little more, but it was said that this one yuan was already a lot.

Then Su Su also met Lu Donghe's younger brother, who was not too old, a high school student, so he was usually not at home but in the commune.

Su Su gave out two red envelopes today. She thought that since everyone had already kowtowed, she should also kowtow to her parents, after all, Lu Chuan was not at home.

Mother Luo knew what she meant and said with a smile, "Women don't need it."

"I am here to kowtow to the elders on behalf of Lu Chuan. He is away from home all year round to fulfill his filial duties. Let me take his place this year."

Seeing that everyone was kowtowing, Su Su did not hesitate and knelt down in front of the two old men.

In fact, it is not difficult at all. In this era, these things are important, so she can just fulfill her filial duty on behalf of Ruichuan.

Lu Mu happily handed her a red envelope, and she happily accepted it.

Then, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, her mother took her to visit relatives and friends everywhere.

The village is very small, and after two days I had visited almost all the people who were on good terms with the Lu family.

Then, Mr. and Mrs. Lue had to go back to their mother's home to visit Luechuan's uncle. They were a little worried about the four children left at home. So they asked Luehai to take good care of the two families, and then left.

Su Su had a sense of responsibility. As the eldest sister-in-law, she had to take care of her three younger brothers. So she didn't take care of them in the morning, but she would come on time to cook lunch for them at noon. Fortunately, there was nothing to cook in winter, just cornmeal and a stew. She was quite successful on the first day, but didn't know what to cook on the second day. Fortunately, the three brothers knew how to cook, so she was not embarrassed.

However, Su Su thought that he should learn how to cook. When he was thinking about it, Lu Donghe suddenly ran over and said nervously, "Comrade Su, the army called and said that Brother Chuan was injured during the mission and needs someone from his family to take care of him."

The basin in Su Su's hand immediately fell to the ground. She almost cried out of shock. She didn't expect this to happen. Isn't it only in there? Why...

Oh, yes, I am in it.
