daily struggle in ancient times

Because of the conversation last night, when the brothers of the Hu family came to get the cake the next day, Huo Cheng's eyes never left the head of the Hu family, Hu Jianxian, he looked left and right, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

Thin and short, she looks pretty good, but it's so easy to attract peach blossoms and flirtatious people.Moreover, this kid's eyebrows and eyes are too sharp, although he knows how to hide himself, but his skills are not strong enough, and he is easy to break, maybe he will cause a big disaster at any time.

Hu Jianxian was horrified by him, always felt like a piece of pork up for sale on the chopping board, so he couldn't help saying: "Brother Huo, what's the matter?"

Huo Cheng shook his head silently, thinking, if he called himself big brother, wouldn't he be a generation older than Brother Tong? How could they get married, no, no.

Seeing Hu Jianxian's confused face, Wei Yun pretended to be a hair cake for him and said, "Don't pay attention to him, he has been very angry and in a bad mood these days."

Seeing his obedient appearance, Huo Cheng secretly sighed, this kid is uncomfortable no matter how you look at it.

The New Year came as scheduled. On New Year's Eve, the Huo family got up early in the morning, cut window grilles and pasted couplets. Everyone was smiling and very happy.

After sending the young master back a few days ago, Wei Yun never saw the other party again, but received a letter written by the other party, which was brought back with the help of the brothers of the Hu family.

This time the brothers of the Han family became cruel and locked people in the house to read the heart scriptures, and they only had a few bowls of porridge every day.Within two days, Han Pingji completely surrendered, weeping bitterly and admitting his mistake to Brother Han again, and then saved himself from the dire straits.

It's just that he was grounded and couldn't come out, so he had to ask someone to send a letter to come out.

Wei Yun replied to the letter, and gave him a lot of food that he made, and then he put it aside.

After all, this is the Han family's own business, and it's not up to me, an outsider, to intervene.

After noon, Wei Yun started to make dumplings. The family reunion on New Year's Eve, dumplings are the most appropriate food.

Wei Yun mixed two kinds of fillings, leek pork and scallion mutton. The dumplings were white and plump like ingots in the boiling water. The sound of firecrackers was heard one after another. Everyone's heart was filled with the joy and expectation of the New Year. hope.

According to the customs of Ping County, anyone who has separated and who has not lived with the elderly must give the first bowl of the first pot of dumplings to the elderly.This custom has been around for a long time, and it is not clear what it is for, but everyone abides by this rule every year.

Although the Huo family separated, Aunt Huo followed Huo Cheng, and Huo Jiang's family had broken off their relationship, so there was no such thing as sending dumplings.

The family sat together and ate dumplings happily. Wei Yun also washed a few big wallets and put them in the dumplings. He even made a small mark to ensure that everyone could eat one.

The Huo family did not do this, except for the Wei brothers, it was the first time for everyone else.Although I took a bite to straighten my teeth without knowing it, the good wishes and blessings contained in it perfectly resolved the discomfort.

Brother Tong ate the delicious dumplings, and the smile on his face never stopped. Although this New Year is not the best New Year he has ever had, in his life, the most memorable thing is this new year.

After eating, the fire in the stove started to burn again, everyone took a bath carefully, and everyone was clean and ready to welcome the New Year.

It was snowing again outside, and it had already been covered with a thin layer. The whole family gathered around the kang, talking and watching the new year.

The children were sleepy early, and soon fell asleep. Aunt Huo wanted to let them be alone, so she also said that she was tired, and took the two children to bed.

Huo Cheng peeled the melon seeds on the table one by one and peeled the melon seeds with his hands, but he didn't eat them himself. He put them on the plate, and when he had accumulated a small pile, he pushed them to Wei Yun to signal him to eat.

Wei Yun accepted it with a wide smile, propped his head and asked him, "Are we going to leave relatives during the Chinese New Year?"

Huo Cheng nodded: "I want to leave, but there are few relatives in the family, so I will finish leaving in two days."

Wei Yun thought for a while, and asked curiously: "On the day we got married, I heard Brother Tong say that his grandma is here. Brother Tong has been away for so many years, but I have never seen his grandma come. I thought There's no one around him."

Huo Cheng paused for a moment with his hand peeling melon seeds, and said: "Back then, brother remarried as soon as elder brother left. Mother was angry that elder brother treated brother so well, but brother didn't even want to keep the one-year filial piety period, so he just followed that Bian almost broke the relationship. Brother Tong came here a few times, but his mother pushed him back, and gradually, he stopped coming. "

"Later when I came back, when I got married, he would take the initiative to come to help. Although Brother Tong was uncomfortable, I could see that he was still very happy. I persuaded my mother to let him stay. When he left I also left something for Tong Geer. Tong Geer told me quietly that he had secretly given him a lot of food before."

"Then he didn't tell Brother Tong about his identity?" Wei Yun asked.

"No." Huo Cheng said, "It's probably because of guilt. Brother Tong was young when he remarried, but he already remembered things. He hated him. Second brother and the others hated Brother Tong. No, his natal family never came to say a word, they have defended this grandson, and his mother's attitude is so firm, he is probably afraid that Brother Tong will leak his words when he comes home, and mother will call back again."

Wei Yun was a little surprised, "No way? If Brother Tong's parents are willing to help him, why wouldn't mother be happy?"

Huo Cheng smiled helplessly, "Brother Tong's family is quite rich. Back then, my elder brother was seriously ill, and my mother came to ask for help, but there was no result. In addition, my elder brother didn't even give him two months of filial piety. How can mother be happy when she keeps enough and remarries? Brother Tong is the only root left by elder brother. Mother will never agree that he has too much contact with that side. When we got married, I just felt that I was living too Come on, there is only Brother Tong over there, just show off."

Wei Yun was stunned, he didn't expect these things to happen, "Didn't Brother Tong come here after that?"

Since the Huo family agreed to a contact once, there will be a second or third time. If they want to get along with Brother Tong, they will continue to visit no matter what, but Wei Yun has never seen it.

Huo Cheng sneered, and said: "He wanted to come, but there was no one in the Hong family who was willing. He came on the day of his marriage, but when he returned, he was scolded by his son and daughter-in-law. I'm afraid he hasn't found a chance to come these days. .”

He paused, his voice low, "Actually, if it wasn't for Brother Tong, I wouldn't have agreed to him coming to the wedding banquet. At the beginning, the elder brother was so kind to him, but as a result, he didn't even want to remarry the youngest son as soon as the elder brother left. Go out. Whether it is the Hong family or your brother himself, there is nothing wrong with not wanting to be a widow for the rest of his life, but the Hong family was so terrific back then, they almost stomped on the ground and crushed the love of these years, who can swallow this Tone?"

Wei Yun patted him on the arm comfortingly, "Does Brother Tong know these things?"

Huo Cheng sighed, "He should know. Every day in this village, the parents of the west and the east are short-lived. Good things don't go out and bad things spread for thousands of miles. It's hard not to know. So for so many years, he didn't even mention his grandma. Just don't know."

Wei Yun nodded, there is nothing wrong with Tong Geer's actions, but after all, it is a bit cold, and it is understandable that Tong Geer does not want to mention it.

"Then I won't worry about giving gifts to his waifu's family. Let's treat Brother Tong well in the future and find him a good marriage. It won't be in vain for him to call us uncle, uncle."

He thought for a while, then asked again: "What about uncle's house, are you going tomorrow?"

Huo Cheng nodded: "Go, my aunt and a few cousins ​​came to help a lot last time, and I haven't thanked them properly yet. A gift will be prepared tomorrow, let's go over there together."

"Mother won't say anything?" Wei Yun was a little worried.

"No." Huo Cheng's tone was very firm: "Mother was at odds with my aunt when I was young, and even though I didn't see each other very much after my father left, uncles and the others still miss us in their hearts. When my elder brother was seriously ill, my uncle specially sent us A lot of money came over, this kindness, my mother will always remember it in my heart."

"It's just been so many years, I can't save face, and the relationship between the second brother and the other side is stiff, so my mother can't say anything. Believe it or not, she will definitely not be happy tomorrow, but she is still happy in her heart. How much gift do you have to go to her? And won't make a sound."

Wei Yun squinted at him, "You are the roundworm in our mother's stomach? You know so well!"

Huo Cheng didn't make excuses, but silently peeled the pine nuts for him. This stuff is quite laborious, so it's better to peel it by yourself.

Wei Yun chewed the delicious melon seeds, and couldn't help feeling: "I didn't have much contact with your family before, and I didn't know that there are so many things going on here. Thinking about it now, Brother Tong is the most miserable and pitiful one in the family. "

Huo Cheng touched his head, and said with some distress: "Aren't you bitter?"

Wei Yun shook his head, "Life is bitter, but I am not bitter! Although my father and mother left early, Brother Yu was with me. Although he is young, he knows how to love others. If you want me to eat first, I will eat by myself, and I will help me with the work. Although the life is poor, I am happy in my heart."

"But Brother Tong is different. Although we are his relatives, we are separated by a layer. It is not the most important thing in any of us. If something happens, he is the most likely to be abandoned, so he It's the one that's really suffering."

Huo Cheng looked at him with pity, and remembered what the general once told them: In this world, all living beings are suffering, but some only see bitterness, while others find sweetness in bitterness.

Wei Yun didn't make it to the end, and fell asleep at some point. When he woke up, there was the faint sound of firecrackers outside. Looking at the sky, it should be midnight.

He was the only one in the room, Huo Cheng should have gone out to set off firecrackers.

Firecrackers are set off four times in the New Year in Beidi, after eating dumplings on New Year's Eve, at Zishizheng, on the first day of the new year, and after the door opens on the fifth day of the new year.

Just as he was thinking, Huo Chengcheng walked in with a chill in his body: "Woke up?"

Although the firecrackers of each family are short and the sound is not loud enough, every family fires them together at about the same time, and the sound is still very loud.Wei Yun was a light sleeper, so it was hard not to be awakened by such a loud movement.

Hugging the quilt, Wei Yun felt drowsy again from the hot kang and soft cotton, and nodded in a daze.

Huo Cheng didn't speak anymore, he tucked the quilt again, sat down beside Wei Yun, and kissed him lightly on the face, his complexion was as gentle as water.
