New widow

"It's a shame you're not here to serve me." Su Qiao took the torn clothes from Wan'er's hand and said, "I want you to serve me. This clothes has been torn by you a long time ago." Wan'er laughed. With a smile, Suqiao put on her clothes and sat there combing her hair. Wan'er looked at Suqiao and said, "I always feel that my sister will look good in red."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Suqiao asked back. Suqiao would never be able to wear this red dress in her life. A widow can wear that bright red dress anywhere, unless she remarries. Suqiao frowned slightly when she thought of marrying again. Why would she think of getting married again? Getting married is not good at all.

"Then today is the Chinese New Year, my sister will also wear something bright." Wan'er looked at Su Qiao's clothes, and Su Qiao pulled Wan'er away: "Don't talk about me, look at Zhen'er, where can I wear something bright? "

Wan'er hurriedly covered her mouth, and then Su Qiao said: "But after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhen'er can make a few other clothes." Then she no longer needs to wear plain clothes, but can wear some colorful clothes. As long as it's not bright red or green, that's fine.

"I also find it strange that I have never seen that person when he was alive, but when he is gone, I have to observe mourning for him for three years." Song Zhen's words made Wan'er's eyes widen: "Sister, This is against the rules.”

"Yes, it's against the rules. But this person always remembers the rules and is very tired when he is alive." Su Qiao sighed softly, and Song Zhen already laughed: "Well, let's not talk about this, let's change quickly. Clothes, it’s Chinese New Year today, Sister-in-law Wu and Sister Song have been busy for the past half month, just for today’s reunion dinner.”

“I heard there are a lot of delicious food

. " Wan'er already showed a greedy look, Song Zhen pinched her face: "I can see that you secretly took a lot of food while going to the kitchen. "

"I didn't!" Wan'er naturally didn't want to admit it. The two of them laughed and walked out. Su Qiao followed her out of the house. The main room had been decorated and everyone was beaming with joy. It was really against the rules. Suqiao couldn't help but smile when she saw it. There were some fireworks in the courtyard. Managers Li and Wu were setting them up with Grandma Li's son.

Hearing the footsteps, Manager Li hurriedly dropped the things in his hands and saluted Suqiao: "I've met Mrs. Kuang."

"There are a lot of firecrackers setting off during the New Year, but not many fireworks are seen." Su Qiao said with a smile. Manager Wu was still busy with what he was doing and said with a smile: "This big family, when the New Year comes, I always like to buy some fireworks and set them off."

"There are not many fireworks during the Chinese New Year. When it comes to the Lantern Festival, watching the lights and fireworks is really lively." Seeing that Su Qiao was a generous person, Manager Li became bolder and said with a smile.

"During the Lantern Festival, we will also go out to watch the lanterns." Song Zhen was already there and said with a smile. Manager Li hesitated for a moment, and Aunt Wu had already walked out of the kitchen with something in her hand: "No, no, last time Girl, if you go to the temple fair and cause trouble, even if we die, we can’t be responsible for it."

"That's because last time, Aunt Kuang wasn't here." Song Zhen said as she took Su Qiao's arm and said coquettishly: "This time, if Aunt Kuang comes with us, we won't run into trouble. "

"Sister, let's go together." Wan'er was also there with a smile and encouraged her. As soon as Wan'er finished speaking, someone hit her on the back.

After a moment, Wan'er turned around and saw Aunt Wan standing there. Wan'er immediately shrank into a ball: "Mom."

"You, you think about having fun every day and don't think about anything else." Aunt Wan scolded with a smile. Wan'er wanted to act coquettishly, but Su Qiao had already said: "We won't talk about it until the Lantern Festival. Today we have to celebrate the New Year first. "

“Today’s Chinese New Year is more lively than ever before.” Aunt Wan couldn’t help saying with emotion. In the past, even though the yamen was sealed during the Chinese New Year, she always had to think about whether there would be anything going on inside the yamen. People patrolled the streets to avoid any trouble.

Other people's families are idle during the New Year, but Wan's family is busy during the New Year, but Wan Dequan is busier than usual.

"That is, at that time, during the Chinese New Year, apart from being able to come back and have a meal, there was nothing else we could do." Wan'er also said dissatisfiedly. Aunt Wan came back to her senses and pinched her daughter's face: "Just talk to you the most."

Wan'er giggled again, and Suqiao looked at the busy people in the yard. The New Year was so lively.

Ordinarily, during the Chinese New Year, you should go to worship your ancestors. At this time, the Song family's ancestral hall is far away in the capital, and the Wan family does not have an ancestral hall. They just put offerings on the table and that's it.

Song Zhen packed up the sacrifices and took little Sister Song out to pay homage to her mother's grave. Zhou Le watched Song Zhen take Little Sister Song out. Aunt Li had already whispered behind Zhou Le: "According to the rules, you shouldn't go and worship."

Song Zhen's mother was Song An's wife. Her biological mother did not enter the Song family during her lifetime, nor did she enter the Song family's ancestral graves after her death. Song Zhen wanted to pay her respects. If she were in the capital, she would be ridiculed. rule.

Zhou Le turned around and looked at Nanny Li and smiled: "Gui

Behave yourself and do everything according to the rules. I didn't realize that following the rules makes people's lives miserable. "

Grandma Li looked at Zhou Le and wanted to say something else. Then Grandma Li shook her head: "Yes, you don't need to understand so many rules now."

"Besides, this courtyard is where Miss Song has lived since she was a child. This is the home in Miss Song's heart." Zhou Le couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he spoke. The rules are, the rules are to smile appropriately, the rule is to smile appropriately, even if it's to your stepmother. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you must treat her respectfully. The rule is that even if you miss your own mother, you must show it at the right time, otherwise you will be said to be disrespectful to your stepmother.

"Obviously, my stepmother doesn't care about me, but I want to show my admiration for her." Zhou Le felt a little cold on his face, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly. Grandma Li looked at the expression on Zhou Le's face, Knowing that this aroused Zhou Le's thoughts, Grandma Li patted Zhou Le's hand: "Those things are in the past."

Yes, everything has passed. Now no one is taking care of me anymore, saying that my behavior is not in line with the rules, saying that this is wrong and that is wrong, cautious, even walking on thin ice, but a motherless daughter, in this deep house, I want to get a good reputation and then get a good marriage.

After throwing away those things, Zhou Le realized that he could be so relaxed and that he hated those rules so much.

"Yeah, it's all over." After Zhou Le said this, he took a deep breath: "It smells so good. I wonder what kind of delicious food I made today."

"It must be very good." Grandma Li followed Zhou Le's words and continued,

This is the child she has watched grow up, and Grandma Li also hopes that her life will go smoothly, but when she doesn't want to, Grandma Li can only let her go.
