The Li family is having a very lively time this year. Although Li Dalang is missing from the border, Dr. Liang, Shaoyang boy, and Fang Chengxian are all celebrating the New Year at the Li family this year. Li Sanniang also invited Song Fuling and her daughter. , Lily of the Valley and Xiaopingan come.
In this way, plus Wu Qiaolan and Baoya, who are members of the Li family and have been living in the Li family.
Not only the main hall of the Li family, but also the side hall were packed with more than 20 people.
There were so many people, four tables were opened in total, two tables were opened for men, and two more tables were opened for women with their children.
Because they had to stay up late, the men led by Li’s father and Dr. Liang drank tea and talked in the main hall, while the women led by Li’s mother took their young children to eat in the side hall. Have snacks and talk.
Li Sanniang was playing rope flipping with Lu Zhuer and Qiuxiang, and the three of them were playing back and forth;
Sister-in-law Li has already given birth, but her body bones have not fully recovered yet. She was sitting on top of the ottoman, and next to her was Korokuro, who was already asleep;
At the round table in front of the ottoman were Mother Li, Mrs. Li Ersao, Wu Qiaolan and her daughter, and Linglan;
And Xiaoli was sitting there. Wu Lang and Xiao Ping An were following Song Fuling at a fast pace. The three of them were playing a puzzle game called "Monopoly" that was included in the New Year's gift given to Li Sanniang by the Xing family.
The three of them were lying on the small table next to the round table and having a great time.
Mother Li raised her eyes and looked at the surrounding area, and she thought of Li Dalang who was outside: "I don't know when Hutou will come back next year?
Looking at this, I'm afraid there will be more children. It will take half a year to come back.”
Sister-in-law Li, who was sitting half-reclined, heard Mother Li say this. She looked at Korokuro next to her and saw that he was sleeping soundly, then she got up and came over. Sitting down at the round table, she reached out and gave Mother Li some tea.
"Aniang, you are as big as Hutou, how can you still take care of yourself?
I think, I will be back by the summer solstice next year. By then Aniang Just wait and see, I’ll definitely come back.”
Everyone started talking about when Li Dalang would come back and talked about the city's mutual market, and then talked about the new things in the west market.
While talking, it was already late at night. Although there were many people burning firecrackers in the square, the sound of watchmen could still be heard.
"Okay, it will be midnight in half an hour. I'll go to the kitchen to boil water."
As soon as Wu Qiaolan got up and left, Sister-in-law Li followed.
The remaining Linglan didn't have the nerve to sit down any longer. Seeing that Xiao An'an was concentrating on playing games there, she got up and went to the kitchen.
When the time came, after each person had eaten a small bowl of soup cakes, the younger children were already tired from playing, and their eyes became blurry after eating the soup cakes.
Li Sanniang hugged Lu Zhuer, who was already asleep, and greeted Mother Li and the others, and then returned to her yard with Qiuxiang.
After Lu Zhuer was settled, Qiuxiang took out a tips bag from her arms and handed it to Li Sanniang.
Li Sanniang had a "no" expression on her face and didn't want to accept the tip.
Qiuxiang felt it was funny. She took Li Sanniang’s hand and stuffed the brocade bag into her hand. Then she smiled and said: "Sanniang, please open it and take a look. My husband asked me to forward it to you. .”
Li Sanniang just wants to have a good holiday on this New Year's Eve. At the end of the year, these are the only days where she can have a good rest and spend time with Lu Zhuer, without having to use her brain.
Li Sanniang is really not in a good mood now that she has to receive a secret letter from Mr. Bu.
"Sir, it's true, where else can people work during the Chinese New Year?
Sir, doesn't he give himself a holiday all year round?"
Talking. The disgust was true, but Li Sanniang didn't stop. After opening it and looking at it, Li Sanniang's expression gradually became a little guilty.
Li Sanniang raised her head and looked at Qiuxiang, and said with a stern face: "The gentleman said above that he will organize cowpox vaccination after the spring. He asked me if I want to participate?
He also said that the cowpox vaccination is waiting for you. It’s time to give me some credit.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?
Sanniang said she can’t get an official position like a man.” Li Sanniang shook her head. I don't dare to think about becoming an official. I would be satisfied if I could get a few compliments and improve my status in the medical profession
As a woman, I am young and do not have the weight to speak. If I had some dignity given by the higher-ups, at least I would be able to come up with ways to protect women and children. ”
The two said a few more words before they separated and went to rest.
The next day, Yuan Zhengri, the new year began.
Li Sanniang’s fifth update When it was dark, she was woken up by the sound of firecrackers set off by people in the shop, but she didn't think about it, turned around and hugged Lu Zhu'er and fell asleep again
But today it was Yuan Zheng, How could Li Sanniang be allowed to sleep in like this?
But after lying down for more than a quarter of an hour, Li Sanniang got up.
After Li Sanniang, Lu Zhuer and Qiuxiang came out of the courtyard, they greeted Father Li and Mother Li in the main hall and said hello. The entire Li family also gathered together.
In this way, everyone followed Father Li and began to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. Father Li read out a congratulatory speech. After the first person offered incense, everyone in the Li family followed suit, offered incense, kowtowed, and bowed three times.
"Sanniang, I will go to Wang's house later, but please control your temper and don't make the scene ugly."
Yes, Li Sanniang still has to take Luzhu'er with her today. When the Wang family eats, they look good to the Wang family's mother-in-law and Wang Ziheng. After all, they are Lu Zhuer's biological father and grandmother.
This time, Brother Li said in advance that he would accompany them. Originally, Li Sanniang meant that it would be enough to have Brother Li, so that Brother Li, who was finally able to stay at home on vacation, could spend time with Sister Li and Xiao Liulang at home.
But Brother Li was unwilling: "Why can't I go?
Where can I delay spending time with your sister-in-law?
It's just a meal at Wang's house, Shen Shi ( You can return home before 15:00, it won’t take long.
I have to go and see if the second son of the Wang family doesn’t learn well. What if he makes you and your second brother angry?
The second brother has a good temper, even if he is scolded in front of his eyes, he will not take action.
Don't worry, the eldest brother is here. As long as they have a good attitude, the eldest brother will not do anything. "
Brother Li has said so. Li Sanniang can't help but say no to him.
So, the three brothers and sisters took Luzhu'er, Qiuxiang and Lao Shi to drive the carriage. After leaving Li's house and going to Wang's house, of course, there were six gifts prepared by Mother Li on the carriage. Li Sanniang didn't say anything to Luzhu'er this time.
After all, Lu Zhu'er is now older than a child. She already understands that she is going to her Aye's house. She also knows etiquette and knows how to call people.
So, Li Sanniang only told her that she was going to Wang's house to pay her Aye New Year greetings, so that she would know what was going on.
Luzhu'er, a little girl, has a good memory. She still remembers her half-brother (actually not) whom she went to see at Wang's house during the last Mid-Autumn Festival.
“Aniang, can I see my brother this time too?”
It’s raining and it’s still very hot.
When an elder in my family falls ill and is hospitalized, I feel very emotional.
When this person gets old, the first thing that matters is good health, and the second thing is having money.
If you are healthy, you don’t have to suffer and can take care of yourself;
If you are rich, you can go to the hospital for treatment and relieve pain when you are sick.
Rely on your children. Children are not "reliable".
It’s not that children are unfilial, but they have to go to work to earn money, and it’s difficult to ask for leave. It’s very difficult for children to get married and have the next generation, and they have to take care of the next generation.
