The second day of the Lunar New Year, Chuanqian Village.
Today is the day when married daughters return to their parents' home, so Li Fengmei and her husband got up early to prepare lunch.
This year, she was more passionate than any other year, and even the dishes were much more sumptuous than before. Not only were there cured meat and cured fish, but she also killed a chicken specially for the occasion.
All this happened because Liu Afang, the most promising sister-in-law in their Liu family, was coming back today.
And Liu Axia. Liu Axia, the poor sister-in-law before, is no longer the poor sister-in-law before.
People are like this. When entertaining guests, they also have different levels. Before, when my poor sister-in-law came back, I just made some simple food for her.
Things are different now. The two sisters-in-law have become successful. Liu Axia has a job and her family also runs peddlers, not to mention Liu Afang who opened a shop in town.
So the Liu family naturally would not do it casually like before. They had to pay attention and let the two sisters-in-law feel the enthusiasm of their parents' family towards them.
Li Fengmei rushed into the kitchen and when she saw the water was boiling, she shouted outside, "Guobing, the water is boiling, hurry up and take the chicken out and scald the pork, because Afang and the others will be here soon."
Liu Guobing carried a slaughtered chicken into the kitchen and poured boiling water over the chicken one ladle at a time.
Li Fengmei poured the remaining hot water on the smoked black bacon and called out, "Xiaojian, Xiaojian, help Axia hold the baby while Axia picks some garlic from the field to wash."
Liu Xiaojian walked out of the house and said, "Let Axia take care of the children at home. I will go to the field to pick garlic."
Qiao Youcai's family of four met Liu Axia's family at the entrance of the village. As soon as they came in, many people greeted Liu Afang and her sister.
"Happy New Year! Afang and Axia are back."
"Hi, Afang, you are getting younger and younger. I held you in my arms when you were a child. I have always seen you as a blessed child. I remember that among the three sisters in your family, you were the most obedient. Your mother made you a pair of flowered cloth shoes. You wore the new shoes, twisted around on tiptoe, and showed your shoes to people everywhere. Hahaha~"
From the entrance of the village to the door of the Liu family's house, the Liu Afang sisters met several waves of enthusiastic and kind "distant relatives", each of whom had some indirect relationship with their family.
Everyone can recall interesting things from their childhood, as if they were very close to each other in the past.
When I entered Liu's house, Liu Tieluo was already sitting next to the table.
His children all have good plans and prospects, and their lives are better than the others. Even his grandchildren Liu Xiaojian and Qiu Shi have grown up. They no longer have to work hard in the fields and rely on God for their livelihood. He couldn't hide his happiness on his face.
"You're all here now. Are you tired from walking?"
"Grandpa, Happy New Year."
"Grandpa~"
"Dad, Happy New Year and good health."
Everyone rushed to hold hands and say hello, and the lively scene made Liu Tielang smile happily.
"Good, everything is fine, everyone is healthy and everything goes well."
Li Fengmei invited everyone to have tea, "Come, come, there is a stove under the table. It has been heated up. Come over here and have some tea."
As she spoke, she held up a candy plate and distributed candy handful by handful to the younger generation.
Even Qiao Jiangxin got four.
Liu Afang and Liu Axia handed Liu Tielang a red envelope as soon as they entered the door, and also gave another red envelope to Li Fengmei's eldest grandson.
