    ?

    Li Changqing's younger sister, Li Changfeng, had another son, which was a great joy for Changfeng's in-laws.  In this rural area where patriarchal values ??have been deeply rooted in the hearts of generations, only the birth of this son means that the old Zhang family has finally been passed on to the next generation, and the incense of the old Zhang family has not been broken.

    "Go to his aunt's place, what are you going to get?" The arrival of sister-in-law Zhang Caiyun made Yang Yi confused.

    "Going to his old aunt's house? Is there something?" Yang Yi didn't stop working while going back to her sister-in-law. The water in the big basin was already dirty and cold. The busy Yang Yi didn't even have time to change a basin of hot water for herself.  Order hot water to wash the rest of the clothes, she has to speed up the washing.  The sun was setting, and Li Changqing was about to go home from get off work. The children also helped out with a day's work, and they were all tired and hungry. Besides, today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so she had to start preparing dinner quickly.

    "Well, here comes the noodles. His old aunt gave birth to a boy." Zhang Caiyun said it very easily, as if nothing happened.  It's just that the news fell on Yang Yi's head, like a basin of cold water was poured over her head, it was bitingly cold.  The coldness made her, who was afraid of the cold, instantly lose any sense of the already cold laundry water in her hand.

    "Why didn't you give us noodles?" Yang Yi was very puzzled by this kind of behavior. She was her second sister-in-law for all reasons.  It has to be delivered, this congratulations must come to the door in person, what does this mean now, she has to ask clearly.

    "Isn't this given to all of these companies? I didn't come over to you because I was busy there. I didn't come to inform you." Yang Yi knew that Zhang Caiyun was prevaricating, and she was so obvious that she, a sister-in-law, could say it  Exit, it really is a family with others, and I just treat myself as an outsider.  Sending noodles to the family after giving birth, and then the family went to eat dumplings. This is a big event in the countryside, and it is a matter of extreme etiquette. Now it is good, the four elder brothers have sent noodles to three of them, and come to me  Are you busy?  They all live in the same village but only tens of meters away, how far is it to me?

    "Sister-in-law, you are wrong to say that. Is this looking down on her second brother and second sister-in-law? It is not worth notifying her second brother and second sister-in-law after giving birth to a nephew?"  It's not easy to have a seizure, but even if it's a reasonable person, I feel that I can't swallow this breath.  Do you think Li Changqing and the others are fools by pretending to be confused so obviously?

    "Where are so many particulars? If you have to be particular, I will bring you the things from our house later." Zhang Caiyun's ignorance made Yang Yi's anger even more, because such obvious intentions but pretending to be stupid  Show her greatness and innocence.

    "Sister-in-law, you say that because I'm greedy for her things? I'm talking about etiquette. She doesn't even give us a face. I don't even know that she gave birth to a son. Why should I just pass by like an elder?" Yang Yi said  There was already a majesty without anger on his face, but now when he got angry, he became even more fearful.  This fear made Zhang Caiyun, who was ignorant of the truth, finally feel a little apprehensive.

    "Don't be angry, I'll go back and talk to her old aunt, and let her make it up for you." Yang Yi didn't know how to talk to this deliberately unreasonable sister-in-law.  It's just that I am a small-bodied person, just because I am greedy for the few packets of dried noodles from my sister-in-law's house.  Zhang Caiyun saw that Yang Yi had a stern face and stopped talking, and she didn't want to make fun of herself any more, so she walked away in despair.

    The helplessness of life is that even if your feelings are fragile to pieces, you still need to do the trivial things that you have to accomplish in your life like a robot.  Accomplishing other people's sense of ritual, but I can't even get the most basic respect.  What's even more hateful is that because of the favors he owed, he can only swallow the bitterness of this stomach back into his own stomach.

    No matter how angry Yang Yi is, she still needs to pour out the dirty water in the big basin, and dry the washed clothes in a basin full of clothes.  The coldness in the first lunar month was still biting. Yang Yi was licking the water on her clothes, her fingers were already numb from the cold, and she lost consciousness. Every breath she exhaled was accompanied by the breath of nature.  On those red and swollen hands, there are still several cracks, because this time the laundry will undoubtedly add a few more.

    The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is to eat dumplings and Yuanxiao. Yang Yi first cooked the dumpling noodles, and then asked Chenfeng to make dumplings with cabbage and pork, and then asked Chenfeng to take the three younger sisters to make dumplings.  Although the dumplings made by the children are not good in appearance, they still look like dumplings, which are much better than those of their peers.  The most important thing is that Yang Yi can get out of this housework. She still needs to cook some sorghum flour sticky noodles. This kind of noodles needs to pay more attention to the temperature and amount of water.They, so she can only meet face to face in person.

    The old wall clock on the wall is still ticking unhurriedly, the hour hand is moving forward as fast as before, Li Changqing will be home soon, the children are also looking for twisted doughnuts and cold oil cakes to eat because of hunger, Yang Yi even more  I am impatient.  The Lantern Festival in her hand was spinning rapidly, because she was in a hurry, she no longer refined it, but made a big Lantern Festival, every second in her heart was urging herself to put the meal on the table.

    "Chen Yao, go and light the fire first." Yang Yi's anger caused by the arrival of her sister-in-law Zhang Caiyun has not yet subsided, and her words at this moment still reveal majesty.  Chen Yao didn't dare to disobey, but she really hated lighting the fire.  Every time the fire is finished, the face is covered with dust, and the hands are extremely dirty.

    Why not the eldest sister, why not the second sister, why not the third sister?  Chen Yao still couldn't figure out why there were three older sisters, but such a dirty job still fell on her head.  Is it because I am the child who made the family fined and let the family live in a leaky house?  Is it because he was supposed to be the child who was sent out?  All the incomprehension, coupled with the extreme reluctance in my heart, turned into only one word in the end.

    "Yeah." Chen Yao patted her hands on the face, and began to look for dry firewood outside the gate.  It gets dark early in winter, and the cold is very oppressive. Chen Yao is very timid, so she really wants to get the dry firewood and go back to the house quickly.  Borrowing the light of the moon, Chen Yao took trembling steps.  While trotting and walking fast, she turned her head to look behind her, and then focused on the shadow in front of her.  Grandpa told her that the human body will have three shadows under the moonlight. If one is missing, it means that there is a little ghost following you behind you, blocking your shadow.  At this time, Chenyao didn't know that there was still optical imaging in the subject of physics that could explain shadows in the world, and her head was full of stories about ghosts and monsters told by her grandfather.

    "The little devil probably won't follow me, I don't have anything to eat." Chen Yao thought about it, and unintentionally quickened her pace.  Finally came to the front of the pile of dry firewood.  Because the previous not very heavy snow had almost melted away a few days ago, the bundles of dry firewood from corn stalks outside were too wet to be ignited, and Yang Yi had already opened a passage below to draw dry firewood from the inside to the outside.  However, for little Chen Yao, it was really difficult to pull out a bundle of cornstalks from the pile of dry firewood that she knew so well.  She tugged hard, and after tugging, she turned her head to see if there were any bad guys or little ghosts following her, and then turned around and tugged again after confirming that it was safe.  After trying this way for a long time, only one third of the bundle of firewood came out. Chen Yao was so anxious that she was about to cry. She knew that if she didn't light the fire quickly, her mother would be angry.

    "Creak, crunch, crunch." The sound of Li Changqing's familiar 28 bicycle came, giving the child who was about to cry in the dark finally hope.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
