After all this tossing, it was almost early in the morning. After leaving Lao Wang's house, Lao Yang looked at the tired faces of everyone around him, and he really couldn't open his mouth to discuss Dabai's matter again.

So the old man ordered everyone to disperse quickly and have a good rest.

Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Dabai inferred that one of them was spitting out worms, and the next day all the women bathing by the pond at the entrance of the village were talking about it.

"Could it be that you ate something unclean outside?"

"If you eat it cleanly, you won't get sick. Which of our villagers' children eats cleanly? Aren't they all good-looking?"

"That's Dabai's own problem!"

"That Dabai was unfilial and ran away after beating his own mother. Now he comes back like this. It seems like retribution."

"Hey, if you ask me, the old Wang family is really unlucky. It has been bad ever since Wang Shuanzi's generation. A single seedling is still a sick seedling. After finally getting married and giving birth to two sons, my mother died within a few years. Now,

Dabai is acting like this again, tell me, is there something wrong with Lao Wang’s ancestral tomb?”

"Didn't I hear someone say last time that there was an ancestral grave in Lao Wang's family that was not well buried? If the grave is not changed, in the future there will be hanged female relatives among the descendants of Lao Wang's family, just like Shuan Zi Niang..."

"Oh, you guys are getting more and more ridiculous the more you talk, could you please stop talking about those unlucky things as you are celebrating the New Year? Really, if I had known better, I shouldn't have squatted with you in the shower..."

"We told you what we wanted to say, but we didn't let you listen? If you don't want to hear it, just cover your ears, or else you'd go over there and wash it. I wonder if you'd listen!"

"..."

A few women by the pond ended up quarreling.

The spacious main hall of Yang Huazhong's house was very lively this morning.

Because Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan came to pay New Year greetings.

The young couple came over to pay New Year's greetings after breakfast. Xiang Shengnan's hands were filled with New Year's gifts, some for the Yang Huazhong family, some for the Sun family, some for Lao Yangtou and Tan, and some for the Luo family.

.

Yang Huazhong took Da'an and Xiaoan to greet his new uncle Xiang Shengnan, while Sun and Xiaohua took Xiaoduo to talk in the wing room in the backyard.

"Compared with when I came back a year ago, I seem a little thinner. Look, my cheeks are sharp." Mrs. Sun looked at Xiaoduo and said.

Xiaoduo raised her hand and touched her chin, saying, "I don't think I have lost weight..."

Mrs. Sun said with a serious face: "Why haven't you lost weight? If you suffer from this, your mouth will look bigger. If you don't believe it, ask Xiaohua."

Xiaoduo was shocked by the words "big mouth" and couldn't help turning her head to look at Xiaohua.

Xiaohua also looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "I don't see how she has lost weight, but she is definitely not fat. Maybe it's because this woman has a bun, which makes her face look smaller."

Xiao Duo said: "Mom, did you hear that Xiao Hua said I haven't lost weight? I really haven't lost weight. I cook every meal at Xiang's house. I can cook whatever I like. Uncle and Sheng Nan don't talk about eating and drinking.

The pieces are not picky at all, they are quite big.”

These words made Mr. Sun quite satisfied.

"This is the three of us talking in hiding. To say something unfilial, this new daughter-in-law will have a really hard time if her mother-in-law is holding her head and she can't make her own decisions about the handle of the spatula."

"I think back when I married into Lao Yang's family, you knew exactly what to cook and how much oil to put in every meal. You couldn't mess up a little bit, otherwise you would be scolded. As a wife, the big pot meal for the whole family was really not good.

Burn it, Xiang family is good, you divided the family before you came in."

Xiaoduo nodded, "Yes, I also think this is a very wise thing to do."

Xiaohua couldn't help but ask Xiaoduo again: "Duo'er, it's been nearly ten days since you married into the Xiang family. Do you get along well with Shengnan's parents? They didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Mrs. Sun also immediately became nervous and stared at Xiaoduo without blinking. This was what she cared about the most.

Hearing Xiaohua ask, Xiaoduo thought about it and said, "During the two or three days when I came in, Shengnan's father and mother had dinner with us. After three days, they went back to their own homes. Not only did this

I didn’t make things difficult, and Ms. Sheng even gave me a red envelope for the correction fee.”

"How much is included in the red envelope?" Xiaohua asked again.

Xiaoduo said: "Six hundred and sixty-six coins."

Xiaohua was surprised, "Oh, this is a big deal for them!"

Mrs. Sun also nodded repeatedly. When a villager marries a daughter-in-law, it all depends on the mood of the parents-in-law.

Take Tan's family for example. Five daughters-in-law came in and none of them were given.

Some people give it, but usually they give it a few dozen yuan, just for good luck.

The Xiang family gave so much all at once, which is indeed a sign of their hard work.

"On New Year's Eve, my uncle didn't say anything. He was probably embarrassed to open his mouth to my new daughter-in-law, so he sent Shengnan over to discuss it with me," Xiaoduo continued.

"This is the first year the family has been separated, and I, the new daughter-in-law, have entered the house. How about we ask Seungnam's parents to bring Jin Nan over this New Year's Eve, and we all have a New Year's Eve dinner together, and then we can all be separated during the New Year next year?

Eat what you want."

"I thought about it. I'm a bride, so I couldn't reject the proposal right after I walked in, so I agreed."

"Then at noon on New Year's Eve, Miss Sheng came over with an apron to help me cook New Year's Eve dinner. She originally told me not to dirty my hands and just go inside and eat melon seeds. I also wanted to be lazy, but after thinking about it,

, I am the hostess of the big house, how can I give up the power of the pot and spatula just because I am lazy? So I also entered the kitchen, I was in charge of the ladle, and I just asked her to fill me with firewood. What kind of food should I eat?

I make my own decisions on how to cook them."

"Shengnan's mother is also a sensible person. She didn't say a single word of choice. When the New Year's Eve dinner was put on the table, she was praising me for being quick at work. Shengnan's father also kept praising my cooking skills.

What a great artist!"

Both Sun and Xiaohua listened carefully to Xiaoduo's words and nodded slightly from time to time. They both felt that Xiaoduo was very knowledgeable and virtuous enough.

As a new daughter-in-law, being able to hold up the scene in the kitchen, cook a table of meals that satisfy her husband and his family without any fuss, is a skill that she can excel at.

"Then the next morning, Shengnan told me again that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and the first meal on the first day of the New Year. How about inviting his parents over to eat together?" Xiaoduo continued, this

I came back a little angry.

Mrs. Sun was also surprised.

Xiaohua pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, there are one and two, so how do you deal with it? Have you agreed?"

Xiaoduo shook his head directly, "I was neither in a hurry to agree nor to refuse. I first asked him which one he meant."

"If it's my uncle's wish, let him tell me. Katsuo said it's his own wish."

"At that time, I was embarrassed and had a good talk with Katsuo. I said that last night was the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, and we all ate together. This first day of the first lunar month will also have the first meal together, and tomorrow will be the second day of the lunar month.

It is the first double day of the new year. The seventh day of the lunar month is the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day of the lunar month is the Lantern Festival, the second day of February is the day when the dragon raises its head, the third day of March is the Lantern Festival, and there are a lot of other festivals that follow. Are we all here?
