Chapter 374
Now that we have three big pots at home for the New Year 2, we don’t have to worry so much about cooking.
When Chen Qingfeng and the others came back, Zhao Xiangmei started chatting with Old Zhai.
Old Zhai is also dressed particularly smartly today.
It was also made by Chen Qingyi. The buttons of the coat were made into the buttons of a Tang suit.
Old Zhai liked it very much.
The old man likes to give things whenever he is happy.
A jade pendant!
They have a custom here that they have to visit their elders’ homes to pay New Year’s greetings on the morning of New Year’s Eve.
You don’t have to kowtow or anything, just bring something and say Happy New Year.
Zhao Xiangmei sent Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyi out quickly.
Chu Xun’s identity cannot be publicized for the time being, so he will not go.
Zhao Xiangmei: "You two should go to your grandmother's house first and deliver the things there. Then come back and pick up the things from your grandmother's house. It will be easier to carry them!"
"Yes!" Chen Qingyi put on his hat, and he and Chen Qingfeng each took two items.
One family got two cans of food, one yellow peach and one hawthorn.
Two bottles of white wine, two bags of cakes, two pounds of sugar, one pound of fruit, and one pound of White Rabbit tea.
A very good New Year's gift!
Many families only take a small piece of pork, about one pound at most.
This only happens once a year, and everyone in the brigade knows that their family is well-off, so they bought some firecrackers. Since there are only four old people in the family, they don't care about it.
Sometimes it is a matter of pride and honor when the younger generation has the ability to make the older generation enjoy a happy life.
They don't care, but some people see it and their eyes turn green with jealousy.
The two of them pushed open the small door between the Zhao family and the warehouse, and just as they walked around, they saw the magical third uncle's family pushing the door open and coming in neatly.
Except for the eldest daughter who was married, even the one-year-old child came.
It's outrageous!
They have all separated, and there is no custom here for everyone to get together for the New Year.
The key is that every family has many children, and it is very troublesome to get them together.
There are also some families who celebrate together, such as the team leader's family, where the brothers and sisters-in-law have a good relationship with each other.
Including Feng Changxi, they are brothers.
Her eldest uncle and second uncle's families also lived together. Her eldest aunt was straightforward and her second aunt didn't mind.
Neither of us is the type to take advantage of others. If your family has fish, we will have chicken. If your family makes braised pork, his family will make Sichuan white pork.
Everything is discussed and negotiated.
How could they be like Zhao Chuande's family? They hadn't been here for so many years and suddenly showed up out of the blue!
Still empty-handed, no, I took...
Chen Qingyi blinked and estimated from a distance, maybe half a pound of pork?
No more!
And they are all thin!
Not counting the children, seven adults who can eat are here like this?
It’s really…weird!!
Chen Qingyi and Chen Qingfeng looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The two of them moved in unison, taking a step back at the same time and not showing their heads for the time being.
Two heads come together for a small meeting...
Chen Qingyi: "Third brother, this is the legendary "begging for autumn wind", right? You said that in the past, people would only come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.
Usually, my third uncle comes alone, sometimes bringing his children with him.
Last year my third aunt also came, which was quite a surprise, but this year the whole family came!
How can they be so shameless?
It's true that good bamboo produces bad shoots! "
Chen Qingfeng frowned, "Sister, do you think they won't stay until after the fifth day of the new year?
Hey, they must have heard that our team had a bumper harvest this year! We've made a fortune!
Can't we get along?
Or should we go back and find our mom first?
You said that they would talk in a sarcastic tone.
Should we fight back?
It's New Year's Day, and you're talking about this... If I were to say, my uncle and aunt wouldn't mind it.
My grandma and grandpa also tend to favor the youngest son."
As a junior, he was embarrassed to say it openly, but that was the fact, and Old Man Zhao had mentioned it several times.
I guess my third uncle's family is also living a tight life.
I completely forgot what I said angrily before, just pretend that I don’t have this son.
Inconsistency between words and actions.
The elderly are soft-hearted. They usually can't be cruel to the children they raised.
Chen Qingyi nodded and lowered her voice: "That's right, if it were me, I would beat him out.
He became obedient after being taught a lesson once. Let’s see if he dares to be so disgusting again.
The day before yesterday, my grandma was shopping at the Second Department Store and was fighting for a seat with someone. Guess who it was?
When he saw our grandma, he left without saying a word! "
Old Mrs. Chen didn't see it, but she saw it clearly.
"Could it be...our uncle and mother-in-law?" Chen Qingfeng pondered for a moment.
"That's her. Ever since our grandma dealt a heavy hand to my uncle and his wife, you see they've calmed down.
I don't dare to look at people with the sidelong eyes anymore.
If you ask me, no matter who it is, even if my aunt makes a scene, they wouldn't dare to do it!"
Li Chunfen is a person who doesn't care about trivial matters. She has suffered losses and taken advantage of others over the years, and that's it.
But some people are taking advantage of others.
Chen Qingyi shook her head twice and said, "Let's go home and find our mom first."
The two of them took their things and ran back home. Zhao Xiangmei saw them coming back with their things.
Startled, he stood up and wiped his hands on his apron: “What’s wrong with you two?
You've been gone for so long, and instead of delivering the stuff, you've brought it back. What are you doing?"
Not only was Zhao Xiangmei puzzled, even Old Zhai, Chu Xun, and Chu Heng who were sitting on the kang all looked over.
Put down the garlic you are peeling.
Chen Qingyi stamped her feet unconsciously, "Mom, my third uncle brought his whole family with him!!"
"What the hell?"
Zhao Xiangmei's face fell, her eyes widened as she asked, "Are they all here? Are my son and daughter-in-law here?"
As she spoke, she untied the apron around her waist and quickly moved it outside.
The posture clearly shows that he wants to fight!
Chen Qingyi and Chen Qingfeng quickly put down what they were holding and followed behind happily.
Before I even entered the house, I heard a lot of noise inside.
When Zhao Xiangmei heard the rude words from her third sister-in-law, her face turned red and white, her chest heaved with anger, and she pushed the door open and went in.
"Oh, Xiangmei is here. You and our father are from the east and west courtyards. I think they can come anytime.
It’s really convenient!
Why didn’t you bring anything?
It's Chinese New Year, and I feel comfortable going out empty-handed. Otherwise, what do people say? The richer you are, the more stingy you are!
Actually, I just saw the two kids carrying a lot of things, but when they saw us, they went back."
You stupid kid, you're such a stingy person!
They decided to stay here and see if they could give the old man a gift!
If she gives it to him, she will benefit from it.
Zhao Xiangmei had a cold face and looked around at the people in the room. Her sister-in-law and niece-in-law were not there.
He was probably angry and went back to the west room.
Even her father and mother had gloomy faces. Zhao Xiangmei turned to look at her third sister-in-law who was like a piece of meat on a rolling pin.
"Third sister-in-law, why did you come on the 30th this year?"
"You're all here! What's the matter? If you wanted to celebrate the New Year here, why didn't you tell me earlier? Every family has a set amount of New Year's Eve meals.
How about you go home today and come back tomorrow?"
How dare you come here with empty paws!
She wanted to scratch their faces, but when she thought that today was New Year's Eve, she endured it.
Nice advice.
"Tomorrow? Xiangmei, we'll celebrate together this year. Your third brother and I have already discussed this.
We thought the old man was old.
He must like being lively.
This year I will cook a big table of dishes to show my filial piety to my parents.
Come on, eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, go to the kitchen, chop the chicken and remove the scales from the fish.
Let’s go to the warehouse and see if there is anything good. Take them out and have some fun today.
Dad, let Dezi have a few more drinks with you at noon."
Chen Qingyi was stunned.
How shameless!!
How shameless! If she were my aunt, she would definitely slap her.
Chen Qingfeng also admitted defeat.
Zhao Xiangmei's face turned blue with anger. She tried to hold it back, but when she couldn't, she shouted
"Zhao Jianwei, Zhao Xihai, you two are already so old, and you both have wives and children.
Are you just going to watch your parents act like this?
Shameless and not afraid of being laughed at. It's New Year's Day, and you're not looking for trouble!
It’s the New Year’s Eve!
If you tell others about this, people will laugh at you. Zhao Chuande, are you still a man? If I were you,
My head is stuck in my crotch.
Even at his age, he loves to do shameless things.
You are so filial. I see that you are in a bad mood all year round. You are so filial. Why don’t you bring anything?
Go, go! "
Zhao Xiangmei is the fourth child in the Zhao family and the eldest daughter.
She holds great importance in the hearts of Old Man and Old Lady Zhao, and her four younger sisters all listen to her.
My aunt is half the head of the family. Even after getting married, she can say whatever she wants to say.
The key point is that it’s useless to say nice things or reason with Zhao Chuande’s family. Their faces are as thick as city walls.
Before she finished speaking, the faces of Zhao Chuande and his family turned ugly.
Others who saw it called it bad luck!
: So many people in my family are sick this year, so I am particularly anxious to celebrate the New Year. I want to have a festive time, so I have bought all the Spring Festival couplets, window flowers, blessing characters, and lanterns.
There will be another update this morning, try to get it up before 10:00, love you guys! Thanks for the gifts, friends.
