Chapter 23, Carrying Back Home
She was afraid that her mother would not believe her, so she moved her feet gently. Fortunately, she was able to move them, and it was really just a sprain.
"Okay, then I'll stew this chicken for you to replenish your body."
At the end of the year, An Qianqian was bedridden.
That's so pitiful.
Fortunately, the chickens were sold before the New Year.
But the family had to prepare the New Year pig, and she couldn't help, so she thought it would be better to just sell it.
It just so happened that Boss Zhu said he would come to transport pigs before the New Year.
Because An Qianqian was injured, Gou Wa and the others were confined at home by the adults in the family.
No more going up the mountain.
The last time we hunted down a wild animal, we each got one.
It’s a small gain.
As for Mao Jianwen, he sold all his hunting items that night and bought a lot of things to celebrate the New Year.
Of course, he also bought two plasters.
Who to give it to? That’s for sure.
He didn't want to go to someone's house, so he asked Shi Tou to deliver it, as Shi Tou was close to his home.
Shitou is very positive about this matter. As long as he doesn't go up the mountain, his parents don't care about him.
An Qianqian was confused when she received the gift, but after Shi Tou said that it was given to her by Brother Mao, An Qianqian's mood obviously improved.
"Shi Tou, please say thank you to him for me." After saying that, he took out a few candies from his clothes and handed them to Shi Tou.
Shi Tou took it without hesitation.
"Sister Qianqian, then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you again during the New Year." It is only four or five days away from the New Year.
Starting from the 28th day before the New Year, the villagers will stop visiting each other.
Wait until the first day of the first lunar month and then visit the homes of people you have good relationships with.
Boss Zhu came to pull in the New Year pig on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year.
He also brought New Year gifts.
When the villagers learned that someone came to collect the New Year pig, they were all very curious.
Unable to control my desire to watch the fun, I went to the door of An's house and watched people catch pigs.
The two pigs at home are very fat.
Unfortunately, An Qianqian was injured and unable to help her mother, so she asked her mother to sell it directly and buy the meat from her own home.
Fortunately, pigs these days don’t eat feed.
As the Chinese New Year draws closer, the village chief's wife becomes anxious.
Thinking about what Aunt Yun said, she paid more attention to Miss An these days. She is indeed a good girl.
But she thought, would such a lovely girl be interested in her own son who had been away from home for a year or two?
Li Yulan became a little conflicted.
At night, she shared her thoughts with her husband.
After hearing this, the village chief also praised An Qianqian highly.
"Qianqian is a good child, a capable one. In half a year, her family has sold chickens twice, which shows how capable she is." The village chief still admired the girl's ability to make money.
"I don't care whether he makes money or not. If they are together in the future, will it make her suffer? I am just worried that my son's job is good, but being a soldier's wife is not easy."
They only see the bright surface and not the bitterness inside.
All mothers are like this, let alone daughters-in-law.
"What should we do? We can't let him be single for the rest of his life." The village chief has been here for 10 or 20 years, and he has long regarded himself as a countryman.
He had given up on his master a long time ago, and after not having any contact for so many years, he would not try to curry favor with him.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his son marrying a village woman.
If we count back three generations, who wasn’t a farmer?
"Alas, we have no say in this matter." The village chief also wanted the second son to get married, but he was not happy about it. What could he do?
He turned his back and didn't want to talk about this with his wife anymore.
Besides, we have our eldest brother Jianxing at home, so it doesn’t matter if that boy doesn’t have children.
He is a very open-minded person.
Jianxing and his wife are a good couple.
Now that I have a grandson, let my son decide for himself.
Compared with the village chief's indulgence, Li Yulan was much more nervous.
"I don't care. I will tell Jianwen tomorrow. He will have to agree even if he doesn't agree. What else does he want from such a good girl? Does he want a fairy?" The more Li Yulan talked, the angrier she became.
Tomorrow is the big market, and it is also the last big market this year.
Li Yulan had to go buy some things. There were so many mouths to feed at home, so she had to reward them well.
After a busy whole year, if you don’t eat well now, when will you eat?
An's mother has the same idea. She plans to go to the market tomorrow to buy some New Year supplies.
An Qianqian couldn't go because her wound had scabbed over, but the sprained area had not healed completely.
It still hurts if there is a lot of movement.
Early the next morning, Li Yulan took Aunt Yun to the market.
I happened to meet Wang Qiaoxiu while riding in a carriage.
It really is fate.
It is true that Aunt Yun is a talkative person, but seeing so many people on the bus, she didn't say anything more about it.
However, when she got off the carriage, she took Wang Qiaoxiu with her.
The three of them got together and talked about the two children.
Li Yulan is a straightforward person.
She made it clear that she had taken a liking to Qianqian and wanted her to be her second daughter-in-law.
Compared with Li Yulan's straightforwardness, An's mother was much more conflicted.
She didn't feel comfortable using the excuse she had given earlier.
Seeing that her face was not right, the village head's wife slapped her head and said, "Look at me, I forgot the most important thing."
She directly took Wang Qiaoxiu's hand and said, "Don't worry, big sister. I'm not an evil mother-in-law. As long as the two of them are well, you are also their mother, so it's only natural for me to raise you."
Well, now that the mother-in-law has expressed her opinion, it’s really hard for An’s mother to refuse.
"We need to discuss this with the two children. We don't have the final say." An's mother was also somewhat tempted.
Such a good in-law family is hard to find.
It’s close, so she can see it after they get married.
"As you said, let's go back and talk to the children about this. If they agree, Jianwen will be at home during the New Year, so we can finalize the marriage."
Why don't you do it while your son is at home, but wait until he runs away?
Li Yulan is an impatient person.
In addition to buying household items today, she also bought most of the wedding favors.
However, she hid it all and didn't let anyone see it.
In the village.
After the adults went to the market, the children began to play.
An Qianqian felt that her leg was better. There was nothing to feed at home, just a few chickens left to eat during the New Year.
She had nothing to do, so she saw that the weather was good and it wasn't snowing, which made her feel a little better.
She took out the Rehmannia root she had collected last time and processed it.
Just then the children came to play with her, so she invited them in.
Her injuries haven't fully healed yet, so she can't squat.
It's just right that they came, they can help her wash the Rehmannia.
"How did you get here?" he asked the four people after letting someone in.
"Sister Qianqian, we are here to see you." Xiaoxi spoke sweetly and coaxed An Qianqian as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Oh, this little one has such a sweet mouth."
Just as they were washing the Rehmannia in the yard, another figure appeared outside.
It was Mao Jianwen.
Mao Jianwen felt like he had seen a ghost recently.
Even though they had only met a few times, she started to appear in his dreams.
