Chapter 391: Missing You (Part 2)
Niu was sincerely grateful to Jiang Zhiluo and the Cui family.
After hearing this, Jiang Zhiluo was also happy for Niu.
She knew that Aunt Niu was a gossipy person, but she had a good heart.
She is always happy to help whenever the Cui family has any problems.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Aunt Niu, this dress of yours looks pretty good. It makes you look younger."
When Mrs. Niu heard this, she couldn't stop laughing.
"You said it looks good, and I believe it. In the past, I wouldn't have been willing to buy it. This dress fits me very well. Before the New Year, I even bought some new cloth and gave some to my parents, brother, and sister-in-law from my mother's side. They were so happy."
"I also brought back some brown sugar. It was a great honor to go back."
Niu looked proud as she spoke, mainly because she was happy.
I feel that she is now capable of being filial to her parents.
After she got married and had children, she returned to her parents' home and could not bring much with her. Although she wanted to be filial, her ability was limited at that time.
At most, give some food.
Her parents, brother and sister-in-law also brought her some cooked food, showing their appreciation.
My brother and sister-in-law also have two children, both of whom are half-grown and can eat the most.
She bought some meat before the New Year and the whole family was happy.
I guess my parents can also eat meat-filled dumplings.
Just thinking about it made Niu feel at ease and grateful to Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo asked her to sit down and talk, and Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci hurriedly brought snacks and candies to Shanmao.
Shanmao looked at Niu.
Niu said, "Your Aunt Cui and your Sister Cui gave it to you, so just take it."
Niu didn't bother to be polite.
Shanmao was very happy to receive the snacks and candies.
He ate in small bites with a bright smile on his face.
He called the auntie "sister" in a clear voice and said thank you.
After talking for a while, Old Mrs. Zhao came over with her two grandsons.
According to village customs, Old Mrs. Zhao is older than everyone else, so it is usually others who go to greet her.
However, Mrs. Zhao didn't want to follow those rules at this time. She wanted to come to the Cui family in person to pay New Year's greetings and express her gratitude.
When Old Mrs. Zhao saw Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin coming back, she was extremely excited.
He also spoke and expressed his gratitude.
Jiang Zhiluo gave snacks to Zhao Dalin and Zhao Erlin.
Mrs. Niu naturally also greeted Old Mrs. Zhao, and everyone wished each other a happy new year when they met.
Mrs. Zhao happily told Mrs. Cui, "After the New Year, Dalin will be fifteen. I was worried about finding him a wife given the family's financial situation. Before last year, many people came to me wanting to find a wife for Dalin."
"I used to have a younger sister's granddaughter who was very good. I knew her inside and out. Her family was well-off and had a lot of land. She was pretty and had a good temper. I saw her. She got engaged before the New Year and will be married to Dalin after the New Year."
Mrs. Cui was very happy when she heard it, "That would be great!"
"Yes, Dalin is married now. I feel relieved now."
This used to be Mrs. Zhao’s biggest concern.
The Zhao family didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and they had little land. Zhao Dalin's parents had passed away, and he had no one to help him. Many families would indeed be unhappy.
I didn't expect that this problem no longer exists.
Since conditions have improved, we naturally don’t pay much attention to these things.
Old Mrs. Cui knows everything about the Zhao family.
Mrs. Zhao said with emotion: "Thanks to the fact that we can make brown sugar at home now, we can earn some money and can also come up with the betrothal money. I gave two taels of silver."
There are indeed many families in the village who can afford two taels of silver.
Niu asked, "Aunt Zhao, how is this family? I hope they don't want our secret brown sugar recipe."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we all know each other well. We are a family that understands and cares for each other. When the Zhao family was in trouble, I, a good sister, often helped them."
Niu was relieved after hearing this, "That's good, as long as they are from a good family."
"Don't look at our village now. You have to believe that our village will get better and better."
Old Mrs. Zhao's eyes were so happy that they were narrowed into slits.
Zhao Dalin's face turned red and he felt shy.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to hurry home.
"Let Dalin and Erlin go door to door and say hello first. I'll go home and look after the house. Don't wait for others to come and say hello. No one's home."
Old Mrs. Zhao hurried back.
Mrs. Niu looked at the brisk way that Old Lady Zhao walked and said with a smile, "I see that Aunt Zhao is feeling much better now."
Madam Cui said, "Perhaps it's because his conditions have improved, his worries are not so heavy, and his health will be better."
Mrs. Niu nodded and said, "Of course not. I listened to Zhiluo's advice before. I went back and focused on eating. Although we can't eat good meals every day, at least we have to eat enough. I also make some white rice and noodles from time to time. The child's father is in much better health now."
Niu still remembered that her husband Liu Cang broke his arm during the busy farming season, and it was Zhiluo who helped heal it. She said that eating well was the key to having strength in the body.
Niu talked for a while here, and seeing that other people in the village had also come over, she pulled Shanmao back first.
Anyway, she just found out that Zhiluo will be at home during the first month of the lunar year, so she can come over and talk to her during the first month of the lunar year.
It's the time when everyone is paying New Year's greetings, and she can't always monopolize the time.
However, Mrs. Cui also gave Shanmao a red envelope, and Mrs. Niu was very grateful.
Next, everyone in the village went to say hello.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin coming back, they were all excited and happy and talked a lot.
The village head's wife, Zhu, also came to pay New Year's greetings with Zhou Zhaoxi and Zhou Zhaohe.
Whenever children from the village come to visit, Mrs. Cui gives them red envelopes and some extra candies and snacks.
The adults just grabbed some candies and snacks to eat.
The children were very happy when they got the candies.
I couldn’t bear to eat it, so I took it home first.
As they were greeting each other and chatting, it was soon dawn.
The sound of firecrackers continued. Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo had seen most of the people, so they didn't go out to say hello.
However, the two of them also felt the lively atmosphere of the festival in the village.
After New Year’s greetings and setting off firecrackers, we have breakfast.
After breakfast, there was free time, and several girls from the village came over to play.
Mainly during the New Year greetings, Cui Qingci talked to them and warmly invited them to her home.
So everyone wasn't bored and played cards.
The girls were also very excited. They didn't expect there would be such interesting cards.
Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo took their things and went to Xingshan Village.
In the morning, everyone in the village celebrates the New Year, and people will visit relatives on the second day of the first lunar month.
So I'm not busy anymore.
Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo brought some things, as well as many things prepared by Old Madam Cui, to their parents' home in Xingshan Village.
Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye Shi were extremely excited when they saw Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin coming.
Of course, they received the news yesterday and knew that Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin had returned safely, but they still missed them since they didn't see them.
Now that I see they are doing well, I feel relieved.
Jiang Yunshu and the others even called them sister and brother-in-law.
Surrounding Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin, they shouted.
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised to see Jiang Yunshu, who was a head taller than her. "Yunshu, it's only been a few months since we last met. You've grown so tall?"
It suddenly grew taller.
