iron face man laughing husband

"When I was young, I didn't have the money to buy him small firecrackers to play with." Old Aunt Xiao filled the pot with water and put the lid on it: "When I grow up and become sensible, I won't play."

Because he knew he couldn't afford it, and he didn't have the spare money at home, so he bought him this small firecracker to play with, and also throwing firecrackers, which are the rarest things for Brother Xiao.

It's good now, Tie Qing put a lot of small firecrackers in his pocket, an incense stick in his hand, and several small firecrackers for him to light and play.

He giggled, his face turned red.

The sky is full of fireworks all night, and the New Year is here.

The next day, on the first day of the first lunar month, everyone had breakfast, and after greeting each other with New Year greetings, they went to bed. They stayed up all night last night and were all tired.

The second and third days of junior high school are the days when I go back to my natal family.

Brother Xiao put on new clothes, drove a carriage, and went back to his mother's house.

Seeing him come back, Old Aunt Xiao laughed: "It's so close, you still drive a carriage?"

"It's because there are a lot of things. I'm afraid that my husband will be tired, so I don't bring them here, so I just drive the carriage." Brother Xiao jumped off the carriage, bouncing around happily: "Mother, New Year's greetings to you."

Brother Xiao is the youngest one at home, and everyone gives him a century-old red envelope.

Old Xiao and his wife gave him and Tie Qing a red envelope of two taels of silver each, which was quite a big red envelope in a farmhouse.

They also gave Xiao Wei and Li Jun a big red envelope, three taels of silver, more than those given to Tie Qing and Brother Xiao.

Auntie Xiao made chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli, pork ribs stewed with dried beans, and big goose stewed with potatoes.

Stir-fried cabbage slices, hot and sour potato shreds, braised sauerkraut with meat bones, and fried peanuts.

I also stewed silver carp and catfish, stewed in miso, which is called "surplus for years".

These are hard dishes!At first glance, Lao Xiao's family is very rich.

Steamed dumplings stuffed with beef and scallions, Old Aunt Xiao knows that this is Tie Qing's favorite staple food, but she also boiled dumplings with sauerkraut meat, which is her kid's favorite.

"Come on, the two elders have worked hard this year." Tie Qing hurriedly toasted the old man Ganzi and the old mother-in-law, the two elders are the magic needle of their family.

"Well, drink!" Old boss Xiao laughed: "We had a reunion year this year, Xiao Wei came back, you two got married, good thing, drink."

The old couple are happy this year!

My brother is married, and the boy is back, and their days are getting brighter and brighter.

"Brother, drink less. Next spring, I will go to the mountains and hunt two does, and I will give you two pieces of deer fetal paste, which will nourish your body." Tie Qing poured rice wine into Xiao Wei's bowl.

This kind of rice wine is not available in the Northeast. It is a caravan from the south. I brought my hometown rice wine to drink. It is very light and not intoxicating.

This is the kind of rice wine Xiao Geer drank.

"Replenish it?" Xiao Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I've almost made it up, right?"

"It's far away." Tie Qing conveniently pinched her husband's eyes again: "I'm not afraid that you will be angry when you hear it. When you just came back, I thought, did you not wash your face? You are dusty, but later I found out that even after taking a bath, you don’t look clean, and you are always dusty. Later I found out that it’s the elder brother, you look bad, now you look at it, at least some It's ruddy, isn't it?"

"Eating this way every day, don't mention me, anyone else will be able to be rosy by those soups." Xiao Wei said so, and really raised his hand to touch his face, and asked the smiling brother: " Brother really looks a lot better?"

"Yeah, you don't know?" Brother Xiao swallowed what was in his mouth: "Didn't you look in the mirror?"

There used to be no mirrors in their house, but later they bought two vanity mirrors, one for Aunt Xiao and one for Brother Xiao.

Later, Aunt Xiao also bought a few. There were three girls in her family, plus her, four mothers, one for each of them.

"Yes, there is no shortage of mirrors at home." Aunt Xiao also said, "It looks much better than when I first came back."

"I'm a kid, why look in the mirror?" Xiao Wei didn't mean to look in the mirror that way, he rarely looked in the mirror, and then he didn't think of looking in the mirror at all.

He also knew that his complexion must be bad.

It's just that he's been sleeping in the open for a long time, and his skin doesn't have much fine hair, and he's a little tanned, and ordinary people really can't tell if his complexion is good or not.

But it's different now, he was locked in the house and was not allowed to go out, the gate of the compound was rarely seen, like a lady from a big family who didn't leave the gate and didn't go out, he was covered for half the winter, could he not be in vain? what!

With the tonic of this soup, the complexion must be good, even if it is not very good, it is three points good.

"If you have nothing to do, just look in the mirror, and you will know how big the change has been." Old Aunt Xiao said: "I look pretty good anyway."

"I see, Xiao Jun is also doing well." The old head Xiao looked at Li Jun: "Open a spring, build a house, marry a good marriage, I see, a baby will be born soon gone."

If this continues, the baby born will probably be very strong.

A group of people laughed, and Li Jun grinned and said, "That's good."

Aunt Xiao took a look at her eldest daughter, Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui was 14 years old. She had a bad life a few years ago. This child was thin and small, with withered and yellow hair. The whole child was like dry grass. After she divorced, the child ate well, slept well, and didn't need to do any heavy work. In the past few years, he opened up like a budding flower. His skin was fair, and his eyes followed the old Meng's. People from home have big eyes and double eyelids.

"Build a house in spring." Tie Qing asked him, "What kind of house do you want to build?"

"Brick and tile house, I want to get married." Li Jun gritted his teeth.

He even chose the house, which is next to Lao Tie's house.

I also have a little bit of good luck, and I will have good luck in the future.

"What do you want?" Aunt Xiao asked Li Jun.

In the end, Li Jun's answer was particularly shocking: "I remember my grandma said before she was alive that if I want to find someone to marry in the future, I will find someone with big buttocks and big feet. Big butts are easy to grow, and big feet can work. , in the future, when you have a child, you will be able to work and know how to love others, my grandma is a big foot!"

He didn't say that he wanted the kind with big breasts, otherwise Li Qing would have to spray even more.

It seems that he can be a brother or a sister. He doesn't choose people, but he chooses his figure.

A group of people laughed and ate dinner, and after cleaning up, they played mahjong when they had nothing to do. Usually it was impossible to play mahjong, but isn't this the Chinese New Year?

Tie Qing and Brother Xiao, Aunt Xiao and the eldest cousin gathered together for a table, and the eldest cousin even hugged with the second and third cousins, and the three sisters discussed it.

Over there, Old Chief Xiao is with Old Aunt Xiao, and Xiao Wei is with Li Jun.

The two tables of mahjong were playing in a hurry, hot tea, several snacks, peanuts, melon seeds and dried fruits, as well as rare black frozen pears.

Soak it in a basin with cold water, and bite into a pack of sweet pear juice.

After playing in the middle of the night, Tie Qing and Brother Xiao sent the four of Aunt Xiao back, and went home along the way.

All three members of Tieli's family slept, but a small door was left for him.

But the next day, Tie Qing took all three of Tie Li's family to Lao Xiao's house, and gathered together to cook, play mahjong, and watch leaf cards, not to mention how lively it was.

It is rare for the old Xiao's family to have such a lively New Year's Eve.

Then Uncle Xiao Liu and Uncle Xiao Ba's family came to pay New Year's greetings, gave out red envelopes for a meal, ate and drank, and passed the day happily. A generous gift, because this is a real relative.

In addition, Zhang Liniang was pregnant again, so I specially gave her a pair of small silver bracelets worn by children and a silver longevity lock.

Her eldest son also has a set of this.

It was also given by Brother Xiao, but he looked at Zhang Liniang's stomach curiously: "Is this the second one? Is it uncomfortable?"

"In the first few months, it was a bit uncomfortable, but after this period of time, it will be fine." Zhang Liniang is pregnant now, and she is not too delicate: "However, during the Chinese New Year, there is a lot of oily smoke, so I feel a little uncomfortable. I can’t fall asleep, and I still want to vomit when I wake up in the morning, and I haven’t eaten anything, and all I vomit is acid water.”

Brother Xiao shrank his neck in fear: "Oh, is it so uncomfortable?"

"Don't be afraid, you'll know when you're pregnant." Zhang Liniang looked at him and asked softly, "Is there any good news yet?"

Brother Xiao shook his head: "No, my husband said, don't worry, I also went to the county town to see the old doctor Ren, and I am in good health, plus I don't do anything, I just take care of it at home all day , are all fat."

Zhang Liniang stretched out her hand and touched Xiao Ge'er's waist: "It seems to be a little fatter."

The laughing brother kept avoiding her: "Itchy!"

Brother Xiao not only gained weight, but also grew a little taller, 23, and he also jumped up.

His nutrition has kept up, and his mood has improved. Naturally, he not only gained weight, but also gained a little head.

It was Xiao Yu who chatted with Tie Qing: "I'm second here, you should work hard too."

"We are not in a hurry, we have only been married for more than a year." Tie Qing said: "Last time, brother Xiao was too anxious and wanted to give me a baby, but now it has stopped."

Xiao Yu was also happy: "You are not in a hurry, he is in a hurry, you are the only one left in your Tie family, can he not be in a hurry."

"He's only in his 20s, and he's only [-] years old." Tie Qing said, "This year he's only a weaker champion."

He wanted to laugh at the fact that no matter how strong his brother's body is, if they can't do it after seven or eight years of hard work, then they really can't.

It's useless for everyone to worry about this.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, according to the rules, everyone has to spend it at home. "Broken fifth", the dumplings are cooked at home, and the broken dumplings are eaten.

From the beginning of the sixth day, it's time to drop by.

Tie Qing, together with Brother Xiao, followed Mr. Xiao, went to Mr. Wei's village head's house first, and gave him four boxes of gifts.

The four boxes of gifts here in the Northeast are different from other places, one box of two catties of furnace fruit, one catty of white sugar and one catty of brown sugar; a bag of sugared hawthorn.

Two small jars of wine, one jar of sorghum wine, and one jar of burning knives.

Those who followed Old Chief Xiao not only brought their husband and wife, but also Xiao Wei and Li Jun. These two boys also had to go out to meet people.

Xiao Wei carried two catties of pork and two old hens; Li Jun carried a big pork knuckle.

Brother Xiao carried a large bag of candies alone: ​​"I know that there are many people in my aunt's house, and there are probably quite a few children. These candy balls are just for those children to eat."

This is a big bag of multicolored candy balls, the expensive kind of hard candy.

"The laughing husband is still caring." The village chief's wife was very happy.

This kind of gift won her heart the most. Candy balls are very expensive, but their family has to prepare them, because there are indeed quite a lot of people who come during the holidays, and there are many children.

But when it’s Chinese New Year, you can’t help but give some candies, right?This candy is not cheap.

Brother Xiao brought a big bag, there were about 200 candy balls in it, and they were colorful, so cute to look at, it was just right for the children to eat.

Other things, whether it's pork or wine, snacks or white sugar and brown sugar, their family collected a lot.

But none of them delivered what their family needed so thoughtfully as Xiao Fulang.

Brother Xiao got the compliment, raised his eyebrows at Tie Qing, Tie Qing bowed his hands at him, admitting defeat.

As early as when they came here, the two of them were picking things, and Tie Qing picked out these four boxes of gifts according to the rules.

But brother Xiao picked out sugar balls, and Tie Qing bought a bag of them in one go.

During Chinese New Year, put one in your mouth, it will be sweet to your heart.

Seeing the sweet look of the young couple, the old village chief Wei said to the old boss Xiao: "Look, how good this is, in the future, boy Wei will also find someone who knows the cold and the hot, you just wait." Have fun."

"Yeah!" The most rare thing about Lao Boss Xiao is that he and his brother are living such a happy life.

After sitting at Old Wei Village Chief's house for a while, they left, because people came to visit Old Wei's house one after another.

Similarly, as an old man in the village, when Mr. Xiao returned home, many people from his family came to see him.

Living in the same village, Mr. Xiao is not only a villager, but also the old man of the only landlord in his village.

Tie Qing was cold-tempered and fierce-looking, and everyone didn't dare to make do with it easily.

Brother Xiao is a young husband, and the only things he can decide are the family affairs.

So everyone went to the old head Xiao, and there were a few others who came to find out what kind of people Xiao Wei and Li Jun, two old leftover men, wanted to find to marry?

Brother Xiao actually thought of someone, lying on the bed at night and not sleeping, muttering to Tie Qing: "Sister, tell me, I'll go and see Cheng Fulang, and ask him if there is any suitable brother, tell my brother one." Woolen cloth?"

"Why don't you want to find a sister-in-law? Find a brother-in-law?" Tie Qing always thought that Brother Xiao would show Xiao Weixiang a girl.

"My brother seems to like my brother. I heard Li Jun said so many times." Brother Xiao said: "I just thought, find my brother a brother he likes."

"Okay!" Tie Qing thought, probably because Xiao Wei has a younger brother like Brother Xiao, who also has a good impression of him.

It's good to marry a brother, anyway, a brother is not as delicate as a sister.

"Well, let's go to the county seat tomorrow?" Brother Xiao said, "Go find Cheng Fulang!"

"Don't forget about tomorrow. Let's make preparations on the tenth day of the lunar new year. On the eleventh day, we will go to the county town to watch the lanterns. It won't be too late to visit Cheng Fulang again."
