Chapter 123: Well done, my daughter! (1/2)



Li's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?" Among her three sons, she loved the third one the most. If there is any benefit, of course he is the one I want to give it to the most.

"Who do you think is more suitable, the eldest or the second?"

Sanzhu, was removed from the team by the boss? Alas, his performance today is indeed worrying.

"Whoever you think is suitable, I will listen to you."

Zhao Dayong thought about it seriously.

"Let's give the second son a chance. We can't abandon the eldest son. When we get old, we'll still have to rely on him."

"That's what you said."

At the door, Zhao Dazhui stood in front of the door with a gloomy look in his eyes. Just because he is the eldest son and the boss, does he deserve to be poor all his life?

Mom and Dad, you are so partial!

After the winter solstice, the pass is getting closer and closer. The villagers began to make appointments to go to the county town to buy goods by ox cart.

Nowadays, because of bamboo shoots, every household has some money in their hands, and having money, they will be more willing to spend than before.

No matter how much, most people would buy some melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and meat to take home and give to the kids on the 30th, and to eat when relatives come to pay their respects.

Some even tore new coarse cloth to make clothes for their children.

"Dad, Mom, should we go to the county town to join in the fun?"

"We have everything we need, what are we going to do?"

Zhao Xiaoyu blinked, I am really too honest. "We don't lack it, but people don't know that we don't lack it."

"It's too hard to ride in an ox cart. The cold wind is blowing all the way to the county town. I'm afraid you can't bear it." I haven't felt cold this winter, but now it's suddenly cold. What should I do if I catch a cold?

"Tomorrow, isn't there someone from the restaurant coming to move the river gourd sauce? Let's ask him to help order two carriages and pick us and Uncle Shunzi's family up the day after tomorrow morning."

"That's fine. Your aunt also said yesterday that she wanted to go to the county town to do some shopping."

"Mother, go and tell her that we will go together the day after tomorrow. The whole family will go, and we will go in a carriage!"

Lihua was the happiest. "I went to talk to Sister Chunmiao. She said last time that she would buy me some candied haws!"

county seat.

Following closely, the streets were already decorated with lights and red lanterns hung high, and the smell of heat filled the air. The vendors were shouting and selling all kinds of goods, such as candied haws, flower candies, paper-cuts, couplets... the scene was dazzling and lively.

Lihua held Chunmiao and Zhao Xiaoyu's hands and skipped in front, her eyes sparkling, as if she wanted to see all the good things. The adults followed behind them, reminding her from time to time to walk slowly and not to fall.

"Sister Chunmiao, look, there are candied haws over there!" Lihua pointed at a stall not far away and shouted excitedly.

Chunmiao looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, there were strings of bright red candied haws shining attractively in the sun. This girl has been thinking about her candied haws and said she wanted to share some with her elder sister.

"Sister, eat!" Lihua ran to Zhao Xiaoyu with the candied haws in her hand, "I picked the biggest one." Zhao Xiaoyu took the candied haws and took a light bite. The sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

"Delicious!" Lihua said vaguely while eating.

Zhao Xiaoyu touched her head and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

In the grocery store, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zheng were busy selecting goods.

"This window paper-cut is really beautiful. Let's buy a few more and paste them on the windows when we get home." Song picked up a red window paper-cut with an auspicious pattern cut out on it and nodded with satisfaction.

Zheng smiled and replied, "Yes, it's a big day, so we have to have some fun, and we have to buy couplets."

Passing by a cloth shop, Zheng picked out some pieces of cloth, and each member of the Zhao family bought a set of ready-made clothes. Zhao Dashu was holding two jugs of wine, while Liu Shunzi was holding a large bag of firecrackers.

"Have you bought most of it?" Zhao Dashu asked. He could no longer carry any more, especially since Xiaoyu's bag was filled with everything.

"Almost done. Where's the carriage? Let's go back."

On the way back, I saw several villagers, their hands also full, trying to squeeze into the ox cart. I was so envious when I saw them getting on the horse carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Zhao Xiaoyu thought that it would not be a good idea to be idle all the time. If she was idle for too long, her bones would become lazy. After some time, she should teach her family members to read and write.
