Chapter 42: New Year Greetings in Daliang Village
I don’t know how Wen Ting handled the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Cui Xiongnian went to the town and returned home very late at night.
Cui Xue didn’t have time to ask Cui Xiongnian about Wen Ting’s situation. She had to go to Daliang Village the next day, and Liang Xiaoying sent her back to her room to sleep early.
Early in the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Cui Xue was caught and set off for Daliang Village.
When she arrived at the Manhe Bridge, she actually saw Chen Qingyan. It was a cold day and it was early in the morning. I don’t know what he was thinking standing by the Manhe River.
“Is that Chen the educated youth?” Liang Xiaoying frowned and looked at Chen Qingyan for a long time before asking uncertainly.
Cui Xue responded lightly and pedaled the bicycle harder.
"It's so cold, why are you standing by the river?" The sudden acceleration made Liang Xiaoying jolt a little, and she immediately grabbed Cui Xue's clothes around her waist, muttering.
"Who knows, who cares." Cui Xue didn't care much about Chen Qingyan's madness, it was just that the shock of Wen Ting's matter was still there for him.
Thinking of what she heard from Wang Hui yesterday, it seemed that Chen Qingyan didn't know that Wen Ting could return to the city. If he knew, he would not be standing here feeling sad, but would be looking for Wen Ting like crazy.
It was windy today, and it hurt people's faces. Cui Xue just wanted to get to Daliang Village as soon as possible to avoid the wind. It was really painful.
"Put me down at the entrance of the village later, and then you carry the things to Zongshan's house first." After crossing the bridge, Liang Xiaoying suddenly spoke again.
"Ah?" Cui Xue was stunned, not understanding what she was doing.
How could she go to someone else's house first? Normally, she should go to her grandmother's house to say hello. Now Liang Xiaoying actually asked her to go to Liang Zongshan's house first?
"Just listen to me. Otherwise, when you take those things with you later, your aunt and uncle will miss you." Liang Xiaoying explained a few words without being very happy.
"Okay." After hearing her say that, Cui Xue didn't say anything else.
When they arrived at the entrance of Daliang Village, Cui Xue put Liang Xiaoying down.
"Do you remember your grandmother's house? I'll go there. You go to Zongshan's house to put down the things and tell his mother that you are going back to your grandmother's house. She won't keep you any longer. If you go there again, you will probably walk in right after me."
Liang Xiaoying, who was worried, gave her a few more instructions.
"I know, mom." After answering, Cui Xue rode her bicycle towards Liang Zongshan's house.
When they arrived at Liang Zongshan's house, they happened to see Xu carrying things out of the house, and it seemed that she was also going to pay New Year's greetings.
Cui Xue hurriedly called her and got off the bicycle.
"Auntie, I'm here to pay you New Year's greetings. Are you going out now?"
"Xue'er is here?" When Xu saw her, her eyes lit up and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"I was just about to visit relatives. Come on, come in quickly. Fortunately, you came a step early, otherwise I would have been out." As she said that, she opened the door that had been closed and let Cui Xue in.
"I won't go in, auntie, I still have to go to my grandmother's house. These are some things for you, put them inside first." As she said that, she took a cloth bag from the handlebars and handed it to Xu.
"You kid..." Xu looked at the cloth bag and gave her a somewhat reproachful look, but still took it.
"Wait for Auntie for a while." She told Cui Xue, then walked into the house. After a while, she came out again. The cloth bag Cui Xue gave her was no longer in her hand.
However, she quickly approached Cui Xue and stuffed a red cloth bag into her arms.
"Auntie, I can't take this!" Cui Xue guessed what it was at once, and quickly pushed it back, refusing repeatedly.
"Take it! Auntie gave it to you for good luck, you can't refuse it." Xu was tough and forced it into her hand, which made Cui Xue very embarrassed.
In the end, she still accepted it. When she held the cloth bag in her hand, Cui Xue realized that it was not simple.
She took a sneak peek and found that it was actually a purse with some small flowers embroidered on it. It was obvious that it was not bought at a glance. There was no such thing for sale now.
Even in the Friendship Mall in the county, she had never seen such a style.
"Auntie, did you make this? You have great craftsmanship!" Cui Xue didn't expect that Xu could embroider. Although her embroidery skills were not as good as those of a master, they were also very impressive.
"As long as you like it." Hearing her compliment, Xu's eyes narrowed immediately.
She couldn't show off her craft now. If she didn't do it well, it would affect her son Liang Zongshan.
But she believed in Cui Xue. Sure enough, seeing her love for it, she knew that her son had the right vision.
"Hurry up and go to your uncle's house. It will be bad if you are late."
"Hey!" Cui Xue responded happily, stuffed the purse into the pocket inside her shirt, and after making sure it wouldn't fall off, she said hello to Xu and went to her grandmother's house.
When she was almost at her grandmother's house, she saw Liang Xiaoying standing in the cold wind, and it was obvious that she was waiting for her.
"Mom, why don't you go in first?" Cui Xue hurried over and looked at her anxiously.
"It's okay, Mom just got here too, you sent her off so quickly?" Liang Xiaoying didn't lie to her. Not even a minute after she arrived at the door, Cui Xue appeared on a bicycle.
"Yes, my aunt also has to go out to visit relatives, so I'll send her off and leave."
"Okay, then, go in quickly, or someone will be unhappy if you're late." As she said that, she led Cui Xue into a door.
As soon as she entered the door, Cui Xue heard the lively voices inside.
Liang Xiaoying has three brothers in her natal family, and she is the youngest daughter. When she got married, her three brothers also separated from her family.
The parents lived with the eldest son, while the second and third sons moved out to live on their own.
At that time, there was a lot of fuss about the division of the family property. I don't know which idiot called Liang Xiaoying, the married daughter, back.
It would have been fine if there was no reconciliation, but once there was reconciliation, there would be trouble.
The eldest sister-in-law was not an easy person to get along with. She thought that she was the eldest son and had given birth to the eldest grandson. If the two elders wanted to live with them in the main house, they would have to get a larger share of the family property.
I heard that she was making a lot of trouble by herself, asking for more and more, and it was obvious that she wanted to make the second and third sons leave the house before she would be satisfied.
In the end, because her face was so ugly, she made the old lady cry, and the second and third sons' wives, with the instruction of their father-in-law, beat up the eldest sister-in-law.
When Cui Xue heard it for the first time, her eyes went black.
Her grandfather was also a weirdo. He actually encouraged his daughter-in-law to beat his wife just to vent his anger on her.
But if you think about it from another angle, he is a good man, isn't he?
Anyway, in the end, Liang Xiaoying, who was originally a bystander, had to come out and find a way to solve the problem of dividing the family.
Although the division was fair and just in the end, some grudges were still formed.
Over the years, the relationship with the eldest aunt has not been very good, and Cui Xue, the eldest cousin, and the two cousins from the eldest wife have also not had a good relationship.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw the eldest aunt standing by the well. When they saw them come in, they just rolled their eyes and didn't even say hello.
