Chapter 40 Wen Ting was picked up on the first night of the new year
After dinner, everyone went to rest. They still had to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. They couldn't stand it.
Cui Xue couldn't sleep, so she took out a piece of paper and pen to write a letter to Liang Zongshan.
There had been no news for such a long time, and she guessed that he had gone to closed training, and she didn't know if he had received the letter.
After finishing the letter, she suddenly got an inspiration and started thinking about the plot again.
She buried her head in writing until Liang Xiaoying came to call her, and then she realized that it was already very late.
She raised her head and felt a soreness in her shoulders and neck. She rubbed her neck and walked out of the room to the kitchen.
"Are you writing a manuscript again? You don't even know to take a break. You waste your eyes writing at night. What's wrong with your neck?" Liang Xiaoying noticed her movements as soon as she entered the room.
When I went to call her just now, the light of the kerosene lamp was on in the room, and I knew she was writing again.
Feeling sorry for her working so hard, Liang Xiaoying turned back to the kitchen to cook a midnight snack for her and Liu Ping.
The food was just out of the pot at this moment, and she saw her walking in with a bowl in her hand. Feeling sorry for her not taking care of her body, there was a hint of complaint in her tone.
"It's okay, Mom. I know my limits. I don't know how to rest when I'm tired." Cui Xue waved her hand nonchalantly.
She was also suddenly full of inspiration, and was afraid that it would be difficult to have such a good time again after this period of enthusiasm, so she tried her best to vent her inspiration.
Thinking of the manuscript she had worked hard for several hours to write, she suddenly felt that this month's tasks were a lot easier.
"Here, brown sugar eggs, one bowl for you and your sister-in-law." Liang Xiaoying didn't say anything after hearing her say that, and directly handed her the midnight snack. Don't
mention it, Cui Xue was really a little hungry. She didn't notice it just now, but now she was drooling when she smelled the aroma of brown sugar.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Mom, I'm pregnant, so I won't go to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Don't prepare anything for me." Liu Ping mentioned this to Liang Xiaoying while eating her midnight snack.
"Okay, I know, let the eldest brother send the New Year gift, and you don't have to go if you're pregnant."
After hearing Liang Xiaoying's words, Liu Ping's face flashed with a hint of displeasure, which was just seen by Cui Xue.
She thought about it and really knew what was going on.
The eldest sister-in-law's family was not a good one. If the eldest brother hadn't used some tricks, they wouldn't have been able to let the eldest sister-in-law marry so easily.
Even after she married, she still did a lot of things. At the beginning, she often came to the eldest sister-in-law to ask for money. At that
time, Liu Ping had just married into the family. She was afraid that her parents-in-law would be unhappy with her family
's behavior, so she tried to hide it. Gradually, they were not satisfied with the benefits they got from Liu Ping, so they started to find Cui Xiongnian. It was then that they knew that Liu Ping had been harassed by her family.
Because of this, Liu Ping had a big fight with her family and almost broke off the relationship.
I say almost because Liu Ping wanted to break off, but her family didn't want to.
Fortunately, Cui Xiongnian had a way to deal with it. He went directly to the team leader of her natal village. After some work, his family was exhausted every day and had no energy to come to Liu Ping. They stopped.
They haven't come in the past two years. It is estimated that they are too embarrassed to come to Liu Ping's house because Liu Ping's belly is not moving.
After all, half of the rumors in the village come from her natal family. You can imagine the psychological pressure Liu Ping has been under in recent years.
"Just send some and you will become a mother. My sister-in-law is pregnant. You should keep an eye on her." Cui Xue sipped a mouthful of sugar water and served as a mouthful for her sister-in-law.
Facing her sister-in-law's grateful eyes, Cui Xue was so beautiful.
As a result, Liang Xiaoying heard it, turned around and saw the beautiful expression on her face, and immediately said unhappily: "You will go back to your grandmother's house on the second day of the New Year. You should prepare the gifts for the Zongshan family yourself."
"Ah?" Cui Xue was confused. Why would she say this?
"No, mom, what should I prepare?"
"Don't you have the idea? Think about it yourself." Liang Xiaoying ignored her.
Cui Xue wailed, and then could only resign herself to her fate and rack her brains.
Except for Liu Ping, the pregnant woman, everyone stayed up until the second half of the night, and went back to their own rooms to sleep after three o'clock. On
the first day of the New Year, Cui Xue was awakened by the sound of cannons. When she woke up in a daze, she found that it was already bright outside.
After I got ready and walked out of the room, I saw Liang Xiaoying busy in the kitchen, with Liu Ping helping her.
After dinner, not long after I opened the door, the children from the village came to pay New Year's greetings. Liang Xiaoying took out the candies she bought and distributed them to them. People
in Daping Village generally don't give out red envelopes. Even if they do, they only give them to each other privately.
Generally, when children from the village come to pay New Year's greetings, some candies are prepared for them to take themselves.
Compared to red envelopes that will be collected by adults, children love candies more, after all, they actually put them into their own pockets.
Not long after, Wang Hui also came to pay New Year's greetings with things in her hand, and Cui Xue asked her to sit in the kitchen.
"Oh, but I was pestered by those kids. My pockets are empty all the way. If your nephew hadn't been born yet, I wouldn't dare to come to your house."
"You're here, why bring anything?" Liang Xiaoying saw her carrying things and looked at her disapprovingly.
"How can I come to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed? I dare not come again if you don't accept it."
"Oh, that's not possible."
Liang Xiaoying smiled and took the things away, and made her a bowl of brown sugar water.
"Someone came to pick up Wen Zhiqing last night." Wang Hui smiled and watched Liang Xiaoying walk away, then whispered to Cui Xue.
"Ah? How did he pick him up?" Cui Xue was shocked for a moment, and then realized that she hadn't seen her father since she got up.
"A man and a woman came on a bicycle and took the person away directly."
"Did they take the luggage with them?"
"No, they just left first and haven't come back yet. I don't know what happened."
Cui Xue still felt a little bit unbelievable after hearing this. What could be so urgent that they would take someone away overnight? Could it be that something big happened in Wenting's family?
Wang Hui also had the same idea as her. She asked in a mysterious whisper: "Is there anything big happening in Wenting's family? They came to pick someone up in the middle of the night. It doesn't look like a good thing."
"Don't make blind guesses. The educated youth were taken away so urgently, my dad must have some news. He's not here now, I'll ask him when he comes back."
"Remember to tell me if you have any news."
Cui Xue gave her a look, indicating that it was okay, and then the two of them didn't talk about it anymore.
As a result, Wen Ting did go back to the educated youth point before Cui Xiongnian came back. As soon as
she came back, she went back to her room and closed the door, making it impossible for anyone who wanted to find out the news to do so. She
didn't open the door until she knew Wang Hui would come back from Cui Xue's house later, and then she called Wang Hui.
"Huh? Do you have something to tell me?" Hearing that she had something to talk to her about, Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, and looked at her uncertainly.
The two of them were not really that familiar with each other, just a little friendship of helping each other to receive and send letters, so what could he tell her?
