Chapter 522 Celebrating the New Year



The two went home.

After a while, Sun Jiaxue found two sets of clothes.

One winter outfit and one summer outfit.

The rest of the clothes are at home in the county town.

Li Mingqing called Xiaozhe and Xiaohong who were playing at the door.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"These two sets of clothes are too small for you to wear. Mom and Dad will give the clothes to your younger brother in the village. Would you like to?"

"I would, since I can't wear it anyway."

After saying that, the two children ran away.

Li Mingqing smiled helplessly. He really couldn't stay at home for even a second.

"I was thinking of asking the two kids to take the clothes over, but now it seems we should just go there."

When going out, every household cleans the dried glue on the door.

Left over from last year's Spring Festival couplets.

Use a small spatula to scoop off the paste.

Actually, not much.

It has almost fallen off due to the wind and sun all year round.

When Mrs. Xu saw Li Mingqing coming over, she couldn't stop smiling.

"Mingqing, come in and sit down."

"We're here to give Xiaozhe clothes that he can't wear anymore. We'll be leaving after we go home and put up couplets."

Sun Jiaxue handed her the clothes.

She took it, touched it, and said with a smile, "Brand new, like they've never been worn. But, are these the only two pieces of clothing you have?"

"right."

"Are these the only two pieces of clothing that Xiaohong and Xiaozhe have left?"

After saying this, Old Lady Xu realized that what she said was inappropriate.

But she felt uncomfortable not asking.

I originally thought I would have at least five or six sets of clothes.

In the end, there were only two.

Li Mingqing reached out and took the clothes, saying, "It seems that Auntie doesn't like it, so I'll take it back."

"Oh, that's not what I meant."

She reached out and took the clothes back.

I was afraid that Li Mingqing would really take the clothes back.

This piece of clothing is not cheap. Although it has been worn by two children, it looks like new.

If the villagers knew about it, they would definitely rush to get it.

She just asked casually, but what she said was indeed unpleasant to hear.

Li Mingqing glanced at him and took Sun Jiaxue away.

Greedy people are like a snake swallowing an elephant.

He wouldn't have come here if it weren't for the fact that Xu Dagou and Wang Dahua were relatively sincere.

As soon as I went out, I saw Wang Dahua coming back with two radishes.

It is used to make dumplings and eat in the evening.

"When did you get here? Come in and sit for a while."

"No, I'm going back first."

Old Lady Xu chased out of the house and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come over and sit down with me. By the way, why didn't I see Niuniu? I saw her getting prettier and prettier yesterday."

"Leaving now."

Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue left after they finished talking.

Wang Dahua only asked after they had gone far away, "Mom, when did you come?"

"Just arrived, stayed for less than five minutes and left."

"You weren't even allowed in for a cup of tea?"

Old Lady Xu scolded, "Tea? There's no tea at home. Stop bossing me around. Didn't they even ask to stay for a drink when you came? What a coincidence, Yaozu isn't home either."

She was still thinking about Yaozu and Niuniu.

If this really happens, I will be blessed.

Seeing her standing there with a silly smile, Wang Dahua didn't dare to say anything and went into the house to do something.

——

"Brother Mingqing, are you going to Mom's for dinner tonight?"

"Yes, they said we don't need to work and can just have the New Year's Eve dinner at the old house. I guess they've already started making dumplings."

"Then hurry back and help."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law and the others are at home."

"That won't do. Go back and help."

Sun Jiaxue trotted towards home.

To the old house.

Several children were playing shuttlecock in the yard.

Li Lihua and her three sisters-in-law were rolling out dough and making dumplings in the house.

The three Li Mingli brothers were eating melon seeds and chatting at the table next to them.

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "You wrapped it so quickly, I thought it hadn't even started yet."

After she finished speaking, she went to the sink next to you to wash your hands.

Yang Daya said, "You don't need to help. It's already wrapped. There's only a little dough left."

"Then I'll peel two heads of garlic."

"The garlic at home has sprouted, and some of it has gone bad. I guess there won't be many good ones left."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jiaxue clapped her hands and said, "I bought some new garlic and forgot to bring it to the new house. I'll go back and get it."

When she walked out, Li Mingqing followed her.

There was a basket of garlic cloves left in the space.

There are no sprouts at all, just like newly harvested ones.

"Wife, please find a ladle to put it in."

Five minutes later, the couple came over with a bucket of garlic.

Zhang Lihua asked, "It's so fresh, it must be quite expensive, right?"

"It's okay, it's not too expensive."

Mrs. Li looked at the garlic and said, "I don't know how people preserve it. The garlic we keep at home sprouts every winter, and some even go bad."

"I don't know how to do it. I guess he's using something special to keep him alive."

Li Mingqing said, "We don't grow much garlic at home every year, so there isn't much left for the New Year. If we don't have garlic during the first month of the year, we can just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two kilograms."

"That's true, but you don't have to eat garlic. You can eat it if you have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't."

Li Lizhu is cutting pork belly for stir-frying.

The pork belly is a welfare benefit provided by Li Mingfang Meat Processing Plant.

He smiled and said, "The benefits at the meat processing plant are really good. Look at how good this pork belly is."

Ever since Li Mingfang started working at the meat processing plant, the family has been able to eat meat every now and then.

And Li Mingqing would come back and take a kilogram or two from time to time.
