Chapter 116 New Year Greetings



Su Xia took Niuniu home, and the two of them nestled on the sofa. On the table were melon seeds, peanuts, biscuits, candies, raisins, preserved apricots, apples, oranges, strawberries, grapes...

Su Xia put everything that could be taken out on the table.

The two of them were wearing pajamas and felt cold. Niuniu ate strawberries, grapes, and a dried apricot.

"Mom, our family is still the best!"

Su Xia curled her lips and said, "Of course, let's see how much she has prepared."

Su Xia ate apricot preserves one by one. They were sour and sweet, and she loved them the most. It might be because of her pregnancy.

Su Xia found a book of miscellaneous notes and read it while eating.

I feel like I'm wrong, so I'll go to the junk yard and buy a few books when I get the chance. In fact, I haven't seen any novels in the bookstores in the county town.

At this time, people are still conservative and most of the time they study.

However, Su Xia knew that after 1966 there would be a special period lasting ten years. That time would be more sensitive, and it would also be the golden time for Taobao.

Su Xia was thinking about the subsequent developments, thinking that she still knew about it, that was the birthplace of love, hate and vengeance!

Why.....

At that time, the village became lively, and I don’t know how it started that year.

Su Xia thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it. So let it be. When Fang Zheng was gone, when they came, she had lived there for several years and it had nothing to do with her.

Niuniu, who was standing next to her, knew that her mother didn't think that far ahead, so she had already picked out ten strawberries.

Only then did Su Xia notice it. She glared at her, then put away the strawberries and grapes and locked them directly in the living room cabinet.

Niuniu watched Su Xia lock the things but did not stop her. She had already eaten a lot and it was enough.

Su Xia walked into the kitchen and took out the dumplings that had been wrapped in advance from the space. They were all pork and sauerkraut, and they were delicious.

I kneaded some more dough and made 20 dumplings with leeks, eggs and shrimps.

Then she boiled water and fried a pork sausage and a chicken sausage. Su Xia had rarely cooked this at the time and she liked chicken sausage as pork sausage was too greasy.

Niu Niu likes pork. She thinks chicken is a bit dry, but that’s true since it’s chicken breast after all.

It was a little after midnight when the two of them finished their meal, but it was already dark outside and we could see everything. It was New Year's Eve and even the moon had gone to sleep.

There was no choice. Seeing that Niu Niu was also sleepy, Su Xia could only wash up and go to bed.

The next day, New Year's Day, Su Xia got up early, lit the coal stove, and put melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and biscuits on the table.

Then I started to make breakfast, just for the two of us. I made the leftover dumplings from yesterday, cooked some rice porridge, steamed a bowl of egg cake for Niu Niu, and heated up a bowl of bone soup for myself.

Then he called Niu Niu to get up.

"Hurry up, your sisters will be here to pay New Year's greetings soon, and you still have to go to grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Niu Niu, who was rubbing her eyes, woke up suddenly after listening to 누's New Year greetings. She put on her clothes and shoes and went to wash her face.

Su Xia folded the quilt, and just when she finished, she heard someone outside shouting, "Auntie, we're here to wish you a happy new year."

Su Xia had no choice but to open the door, and saw Xiaoya leading her two sisters in.

Several little girls looked at Su Xia shyly, but the youngest girl spoke first.

"Auntie, let's wish you a happy new year first."

Then he led his two younger sisters to kneel down and kowtow to Su Xia, "Aunt, Happy New Year!"

Su Xia....

It is really embarrassing to have someone kneel down, even for a child.

He hurriedly pulled them up one by one: "Hurry up and sit here to eat candy and cookies."

Several little girls were also shy, and they sat down and ate a biscuit each. To them, Su Xia was the best aunt-in-law, and she let them eat and play with Niuniu.

Speaking of Niuniu, this child also came back in a hurry.

Su Xia looked at this crazy girl and compared her with the five quiet little girls.

He said with a headache: "Where did you go? Just wash your face? Your sister and the others have been here for a long time?"

Niuniu greeted her little sisters and walked over to Su Xia with a comb in hand: "Mom, comb my hair. I'm going to poop!"

Forehead.....

"How many times have I told you that I'm going to the toilet? A girl should not poop all the time!"

Su Xia felt that her education had failed miserably.

Niuniu looked at Su Xia curiously, "Mom, are they all the same? You can ask Wu Ya, is it a dog or a poop?"

Wu Ya, who was standing by, knew everything and just followed up with, “Yes, auntie, we all poop!”

Only a little girl knew what her aunt meant, but she just looked at Niuniu with envy. Her mother only knew how to yell at them and tell them to work.

The other few just eat. They eat at home, and they can eat whatever they want at my aunt's place.

After Niuniu had combed her hair, she followed Xiaoya back to the old house to pay New Year's greetings first, and then came back for dinner.

Su Xia followed her lead and gave each of the girls 1 cent, put a few candies in their pockets and two biscuits in their hands, then let them go.

Su Xia tidied up the living room and took care of herself. She was getting more and more accustomed to cooking first and then washing her face.

After a while, Niuniu came back, ate her meal and left again, saying that she and Xiaoya were going to the village to pay New Year's greetings. Su Xia knew that they were just giving her some food.

That day, Niuniu didn't come back until dinner time, bringing with her a bag of peanuts and melon seeds.

Seeing that the little brat was quite happy, Su Xia also felt disgusted with her for making herself dirty.

The next day, the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su Xia had to stay at home with Niuniu. It was too dangerous for her to go back to her parents' home with her pregnancy. Su Xia's mother knew it, so she asked Sunan to come over and tell her that she could go back on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Soon at noon, someone came to Su Xia's house.

"Little brother, why are you here? Come in quickly. It's so cold."

Su Nan went into the house, put his things down, and went to the coal stove to warm himself.

"My parents knew you were going back, so they asked me to come over. Anyway, there's not many people at home."

To be honest, I'm a little touched that people are still thinking about her during the New Year.

Su Xia looked at 놛's red face from the cold, gave 누 a cup of brown sugar water, and placed the biscuits, raisins, and dried apricots on the table.

Niu Niu was also happy with her uncle, and kept following him, chattering.

"Niuniu, stop bothering your uncle, little brother, come over and have some water and something to eat."

Sunan grinned and sat on the sofa with his niece in his arms.

Notice that my sister's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I am happy too. It would be best if she could give birth to a little nephew, so that I can have a good word.

"By the way, sister, my second brother knew I was coming, so he asked me to bring Niuniu's New Year's money."

"Okay, I got it. How are your brothers?"

In fact, Su Xia also understood what the two brothers of the original owner were thinking. Now that the courtyards were separated, they treated Su Xiao and Su's mother better than before. They just let their daughter-in-law go and took the younger children with them.

Sunan doesn't hate his two brothers as much now, it's all due to the pressure of life.

"It's pretty good. I don't have much to eat or drink. I've made some money this year, and I've paid back the tickets. My nephews and nieces have all gotten new clothes."

Why....

That's good enough.

"I'm going to cook, you stay here."

Su Nan looked at Su Xia's belly worriedly and said, "Sister, can I help you?"

"It's very simple and easy to use."

"Uncle, please play ball with me, please." Niu Niu has long wanted her uncle to play with her. It's boring to stay alone at ordinary times.

Seeing that the two were having a good time, Su Xia started to prepare the meal. The staple food was dumplings. She stewed a pot of pork ribs and soaked dried beans, steamed a plate of pork and chicken sausages, and fried a plate of pickled cabbage.

It will be fine in just half an hour.

While the three of them were eating, Niu Niu was sweating from playing, and Su Xia asked her to wash her face in disgust.

He brought the dumplings to Sunan and said, "Eat, it's here. Can you be polite?"

Su Nan looked at Su Xia with embarrassment: "Sister, why did you make so many delicious foods? You should save the money to eat more. You will lack nutrition when you are pregnant."

"Ouch....

You, kid, know about pregnancy. Just eat. If you want to get married, you have to wait until you graduate from high school and find a job. Forget about it now. ”

Su Nan was so anxious this time that his face turned red. Even Niuniu was joking: "Uncle, you are embarrassed. Are you missing your wife?"

It was Su Xia who saw through it and saved her: "Okay, Niuniu, eat quietly, and you too, eat when I tell you to. Do I still need these? These were bought with the tickets your sister sent, and they are still there!"
