MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 51
Two days later, Dr. Jin came to visit Jiang's house with something, and he was disappointed when he learned that Wu Yixian had left. But soon, he became happy again. It was already a great blessing for him to meet Wu Yixian, so how could he expect too much.
He floated away again.
The days flashed to the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the mine began to be on holiday from this day onwards until the seventeenth day of the first lunar month before starting work.
The bustling Wuling Mine suddenly became deserted. Jiang Yunzhu took this opportunity to close the stall, and decided to wait until the 17th day of the first lunar month before opening for business.
At this time, she had already prepared all kinds of matters to go to Luzhou to set up a stall, and she would start after the Chinese New Year.
The Jiang family is still a little unaccustomed to suddenly being idle. Then buy New Year's goods and prepare for the New Year!
This is the first year they have lived in Wuling County, and the life at home is booming, so it is natural to prepare well.
Everyone bought a new suit, and Jiang Yunzhu already had clothes from Mrs. Liu, so Mrs. Chen took the money and bought her a pair of hairpins. Although they are silver hairpins, they are exquisite in workmanship, and each small hairpin is inlaid with half a round pearl, which looks very beautiful.
"Quickly put it on and try it on." Mrs. Chen urged.
Jiang Yunzhu also liked these two little hairpins, so she put them on her head.
"It's beautiful." "It's so beautiful." With the unanimous praise of Jiang's family, the black hair and silver hairpin, the beauty with pearls, the two complement each other, it's really perfect.
Even the customers and clerks in the shop couldn't help looking at Jiang Yunzhu. Some people asked if there was such a small hairpin, and she wanted to buy it, while others were amazed.
The Jiang family happily left the shop and went to the next stop.
Buying, buying, buying, until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there was another heavy snowfall, and the Jiang family stopped.
Mrs. Chen was busy cleaning the house. The roof had to be swept clean, the furniture had to be wiped spotless, and even the door had to be scrubbed clean, just waiting for new couplets to be pasted on the day of the New Year, and the old look changed.
Jiang Cheng and Mr. Chen took this opportunity to repair the broken things in the house, such as chairs with broken legs, dustpans missing a piece, etc., and repaired for three years.
After the 28th is the new year, and on the day of the new year, the whole family puts on new clothes and puts on new couplets. After the firecrackers, the days are booming.
According to the traditional customs, a table of delicious food was prepared at noon, and Jiang Yunzhu wanted to cook, but Chen Shi held her down. She is usually the one who cooks. Today is Chinese New Year, she should rest.
Chen asked herself that her cooking skills were not as good as Jiang Yunzhu's. So many years ago, didn't everyone in the family eat her cooking?
In fact, Chen's cooking is at the upper-middle level in the village. Although there are not all kinds of flavors, the home-cooked flavors are delicious.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Yunzhu accepted her kindness and waited for lunch.
Mrs. Chen was happy in her heart, with a smile on her face, and her hands and feet were windy when cooking.
In a short while, a table of meals has been prepared. In the middle is a piece of braised fish, which is more than enough every year, and next to it are chicken nuggets, pork knuckles, strips of meat, etc. It would be nice to have one during the Chinese New Year before, but this year they have all of them.
Everyone was eating, talking, and laughing, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
The family sits together and makes dumplings. Jiang Cheng rolled the skin, not to mention, his skill in rolling the skin was superb, he rolled the skin quickly and well, and rolling the skin by himself could feed the whole family.
"In the future, if we sell dumplings at home, we don't need to hire anyone." Mr. Chen said with a smile.
The smile on his face never stopped today. Before Chinese New Year, Mrs. Chen and Jiang Cheng also invited him to be with him, but Mrs. Jiang lived not far from the village. Every time he got closer to Mrs. Chen, she would definitely start scolding her, not because Mrs. Chen was not virtuous, To actually go to the family to subsidize it is to scold Jiang Cheng for having a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother.
Later, he tried his best to go to Chen's place as little as possible to avoid her being wronged. However, he is alone, what's the point of celebrating the new year.
Like now, surrounded by family members, is the year!
Especially this year, his eyes can still see, he is really old, and the days are getting better and better.
Jiang Yunzhu also felt that Jiang Cheng's technique was good, so he asked, "Father, did you practice it on purpose?"
Jiang Cheng straightened his chest. It was rare for Jiang Yunzhu to admire him for something. He said with a tense smile, "It still takes practice? Just hang out with your mother a few more times, and you'll be fine. Don't you think so?" As if to prove He asked Mrs. Chen what he said.
Chen suppressed a smile, "I didn't practice, I just studied it a few times."
Immediately the whole family laughed.
In the evening, I ate dumplings stuffed with mutton and cabbage. The steaming dumplings were placed on the table, and immediately gave off a taste of happiness.
But at this time, Shen's Mansion in the capital is another scene.
Senior scholar Shen and Princess Danyang sat on the top seat, and Shen Fengming sat next to Senior scholar Shen. Countless delicacies were placed on the table. The three ate silently, but no one spoke, and there was no lively atmosphere of the New Year.
Princess Danyang took another bite of the dumpling and found it tasteless, so she said to Nanny Yu, "Bring me some of that beef sauce."
Nanny Yu said cautiously, "Princess, I finished eating the beef sauce last time, did you forget?"
Have you finished eating? It seemed so, Princess Danyang was stunned.
Then she looked at Shen Fengming, "Fengming, is that sausage cook a woman?" She saw the writing on those porcelain jars, and she was sure it was written by a woman.
Shen Fengming went to Luzhou twice, and met that woman both times... It was enough for her to think about it a lot.
"It's a woman." Shen Fengming replied.
"Then why don't you bring it back?" Princess Danyang asked anxiously.
Shen Dashi, who was listening, also raised his ears. He also hoped that Shen Fengming would get married soon and give birth to two fat and white dolls, so that he could have grandchildren.
Shen Fengming looked up at Princess Danyang.
Just at this time, a faint cry came from outside. For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, there was such a voice, and it even spread to the backyard of the Shen residence.
"Who is this, so frustrated." Princess Danyang said angrily.
Nanny Yu hurried out to check, and then came back anxiously to report that it was King Huainan who was crying for his son outside.
The last time Shen Fengming came back, King Huainan lost his beloved son, of course he would not let it go. But in the end, the emperor did not punish Shen Fengming, and the matter was left alone.
The King of Huainan was naturally not reconciled, he made trouble for Shen Fengming a few times, but he couldn't make a fortune by stealing chickens.
During the Chinese New Year, other people's families were reunited, but his son was gone, so he ran outside Shen's house to pay homage to his son, just to make Shen Fengming sick.
And, it's not illegal at all.
After hearing this, Princess Danyang was very angry. His son died, and he had to blame himself. If he didn't spoil his son like that, would Shen Fengming kill him?
Besides, he cried for his son, what about the girls who were killed by his son or bullied by him? Should they or should they go to his house and cry?
"Get rid of them all." She said angrily.
Nanny Yu said cautiously, "That's the old prince." These servants, they dare not chase them away.
Princess Danyang also wants to call Huainan Wang uncle, so it's hard to tell her if she goes out.
"If he wants to cry, let him cry," Shen Dashi said.
Princess Danyang was immediately annoyed by his words, "People are bullying us during Chinese New Year, and you let it go, are you still a man?"
Master Shen immediately put on a straight face.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Shen Fengming stood up and walked outside.
Soon, the crying outside stopped.
But Shen Fengming didn't go back to eat, but went to his study.
Sitting on the chair, he took out a brocade box from the desk drawer, opened it, and there was a white jade hairpin in it.
He looked at the white hosta for a long time.
In the same moonlight, some families are happy and some are sad.
The next day was the first day of junior high school. Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen took the lead in greeting Mr. Chen when they got up in the morning.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Chen smiled, and then gave out red envelopes to Jiang Yunzhu and his children.
Afterwards, Jiang Yunzhu took the lead to pay New Year greetings to Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen.
Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi also prepared red envelopes for them, which was not available in previous years.
Moreover, they confiscated their red envelopes, including the youngest Jiang Wu, and only told him to keep them well and not to lose them.
Jiang Wu held three red envelopes and rolled his eyes with a smile.
The first day of the lunar new year is a day for New Year's greetings, but Jiang's family is an outsider. Chen feels that no one should come to their house.
As soon as the door was opened, an old monk came. She knows him, he seems to be the abbot of the Tiannv Niangniang Temple in Xifeng Mountain, why?
"Come to send some pastries to the benefactor. I won't go in and sit if I have a little heart." The old monk has always remembered Jiang Yunzhu's kindness, but he has no chance to repay him. During the Chinese New Year, he naturally wants to come and have a look.
Mrs. Chen was a little dazed when he took the cakes, shouldn't they go to the temple to offer incense, why did the old monk come to give them cakes.
The old monk has already left.
Only then did Chen realize that he wanted to chase the old monk, but there was no sign of him.
"Siblings, happy Chinese New Year!" With a hearty laugh, Mrs. Chen looked up, and it was Li Biaotou and Li Yan.
"Auntie, Happy New Year." Li Yan still looked like that sick and weak boy, but his eyes had brightened, and he wished Chen Shi a new year.
"Come in and sit down." Chen said happily.
They waited for half an hour before leaving.
In the middle, Mrs. Liu came with Lu Yuan, and the fourth wife Fang and Mrs. Xue Jing all came to pay New Year's greetings. The Jiang family was very lively this morning, and the smiles on Jiang Cheng's and Mrs. Chen's faces never stopped.
On the first day of junior high school, everyone still ate dumplings. On the second day of junior high school, everyone went to bed early. On the third day of junior high school, everyone got up to pack up before dawn. Today they had to leave for Luzhou. They would arrive in Luzhou at noon tomorrow to prepare for the preparations.
"Yunzhu, is it really okay to make so many meat skewers? Also, are you really going to Luzhou?" Chen asked worriedly. She supported Jiang Yunzhu, but when it came time to set off, she felt uneasy. I always feel that Luzhou is very far away. These small people of Shengdou rushed there rashly, just like bumpkins entering the city. It's good if they don't get rejected by others, but they still have to sell so many meat skewers?
"Yunzhu said it's ok, it's up to you when it won't work." Mr. Chen said angrily, although he was also worried, he didn't say anything.
Jiang Yunzhu had invested a lot of money this time, not to mention the barbecue stove, but the meat skewers piled up into a hill, Mr. Chen looked at it with no idea.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled, "I'll know when the time comes."
There were two big carts of meat skewers, Jiang Yunzhu hired Xu Qingshan's cart, and Jiang Cheng's cart together, it was just enough to fit them. These meat skewers almost used up all of Jiang Yunzhu's savings, no wonder Mrs. Chen was worried.
At this time, "Here it is!" Li Song shouted from a long distance away.
Li Song is the third son of Chief Li's Escort. Their Escort Bureau often goes to Luzhou. Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu and the others are going to Luzhou, he naturally invites them to come with him.
So Jiang Yunzhu and others followed their convoy, stepped on Chuyang, and headed towards Luzhou.
