Chapter 3117 The price of abandoning a wife and a child 8

  When Jiujiu didn’t know, the two children were attached to the North Pole.

  They put all the previously missing love for their father on Xiang Bei.

  For them, Xiang Bei played the role of father.

  People don’t like activities in winter, so the rest of the time is basically the same.

  Jiu Jiu goes to the vegetable market every three days to buy food for the next three days. Except for the embroidery shop once a month to sell embroidery, he stays at home jelly the rest of the time.

   So dazzling, it's the twelfth lunar month.

  As soon as it enters the twelfth lunar month, the surroundings are filled with the flavor of the New Year.

  Every family is starting to prepare for the New Year.

   Jiujiu’s first New Year when he came to the county seat, it was also the first New Year for Jiujiu and his two children. Naturally, I was ready for it.

  Xiangbei’s parents have long passed away, and the remaining relatives have long since severed contact. He is lonely and naturally celebrates the New Year with Jiujiu and his two children.

  Because it is the first time to spend the New Year with the two children, Jiujiu has prepared a lot of things.

  Because I have money, I buy food as long as I like it.

On the day of Laba, Jiujiu cooked a large pot of soft and sticky Laba porridge.

  Not only the two children like to drink, even Xiang Bei also drank three bowls.

  I stayed at Jiujiu’s house for this period of time.

  I can eat three meals a day, morning, afternoon and evening, and my flat cheeks are gradually plumped, but my cheeks that were deformed because they were too thin have become more delicate because of plumpness.

  Because I have been happily during this time, I don’t need to worry about my future life anymore. I also have a little bit of childishness in my eyes.

  Looking at the appearance of the north, Jiujiu couldn't help smiling with relief.

  Jiu Jiu likes to eat and is good at making food.

Jiujiu was very greedy for chicken feet and duck necks, so I bought a lot of chicken feet and duck necks during the Chinese New Year, made a pot of brine, and marinated a large pot of chicken feet and duck necks. By the way, I also marinated a few. A big trotter.

  The two children were still young. Jiujiu was afraid that the small bones of the chicken feet and duck necks would get stuck in his throat and did not dare to feed them.

  The two children ate their mouths full of oil, and Xiang Bei also abandoned the previous hold, holding the pig's feet and chewing especially happily.

Looking at the three happily eating in the house, Jiujiu sat by the window, took a sip of the peach blossom wine he had brewed before, and watched the snow drifting outside the window and the delicate red plums that opened under the window. The corners of his mouth were turned up. A faint smile appeared.

  After Laba, it is the New Year.

  The next days are basically spent preparing for the New Year’s food.

  Jiujiu doesn’t have many relatives here, the only one I’m familiar with is the boss of Xiuzhuang.

Jiujiu’s embroidery craftsmanship is good, and the subject matter is even more novel. The owner of the embroidery shop made a lot of money by relying on the embroidery of Jiujiu. Therefore, the owner of the embroidery shop deliberately brought himself on the 30th day of the new year. His wife came to give Jiujiu New Year's greetings, and even specially wrapped his two children with red envelopes.

  Jiujiu asked Li Shoujie to thank his uncle Li Shu, leaving the boss of Xiuzhuang to have a conversation before sending the person away.

Not long after the boss of Xiu Zhuang left, he just came to the north to avoid suspicion of going home from the small door.

  Xiang Bei’s home is already cold, and I am used to the warmth of Jiujiu’s house. As soon as the boss of Xiu Zhuang stayed there for a while, Xiang Bei’s cheeks were red from the cold.

Jiujiu hurriedly let Xiangbei enter the house, and while letting Xiangbei sit by the stove, while taking the red envelope he prepared for Xiangbei, he muttered, "I said that I am acquaintances with the boss of Xiuzhuang. Going back, it's all right now, it's frozen out."

  For Jiujiu's mumble, Xiang Bei smiled and didn't care.

   Reached north and took out two small red envelopes from his pocket, and handed them to Li Shoujie and Li Shu respectively, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."

When   Jiujiu came back, she saw Li Shoujie and Li Shu holding a red envelope and smiling and wishing Xiangbei a happy new year.

  Jiujiu sighed, turned around and stuffed the red envelope to the north with a couple of taels of silver.

  Seeing the red envelope handed over by Jiujiu, the northward expression was a little surprised, and then she resisted.

   "Sister, if you are willing to help me regardless of previous complaints, I am already very grateful. How can I make my sister spend such a lot of money?"

   "Since you called me sister, how can I not give my brother a red envelope? I have a lot of money, so you can accept it."

   refused to resign to the north for a long time, but still failed to resign, so he could only accept Jiujiu's red envelope.

  On New Year’s Eve, we must keep the year old.

  The two children were so excited to play outside for a long time because of the daytime. Even though they had tried very hard to persevere, they did not resist the constant drowsiness. After persisting for a while, they still fell asleep.

  Jiujiu put the two children on the bed, turned around and returned to the living room, and followed Xiang Bei to stay together.

   Jiujiu eats the snacks and snacks she prepares, eats melon seeds and peanuts, and talks to Xiangbei, welcoming the new year.

   Jiujiu smiled and asked Xiang Bei, "I haven't asked you yet, are there any other relatives in your family?"

   Jiujiu’s question made Xiang Bei’s eyes dim a lot.

   Xiang Bei smiled awkwardly, and said, "There are no other relatives at home."

   Jiujiu was surprised, "Is it gone?"

   smiled bitterly towards the north, “After my father and mother passed away one after another, those relatives and friends before them slowly broke off contact.”

  Said to the north is very subtle, but Jiujiu can hear the bitter taste inside.

  If you can have a house here, your family will not be particularly difficult, and you can even say that you have a good family background. And if you can be the top student in high school in the north, your parents’ cultivation is absolutely indispensable.

  Want to come, his parents must have been capable people during his lifetime, and his family was wealthy, so his relatives and friends rushed to make friends with him.

  But parents have passed away one after another, and there is no source of livelihood. Those unprofitable relatives and friends saw that there was only one who did not make money but also spent money in the north of the family.

   Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human nature is understandable.

  It’s just that if it really happens to yourself, it will inevitably make people feel a little bit chilling.

Looking at the bitterness of Xiang Bei’s face, Jiujiu pushed the hip flask in his hand, and smiled, “The hustle and bustle is all for profit, and there will be no such relatives and friends. From now on, I and the two children will be yours. Loved ones."

  The hand pouring the wine to the north trembled, and the eye sockets became hot again.

  My relatives and friends avoid themselves like snakes and scorpions, but Jiujiu, a stranger, has no choice but to treat him like this.

  For a while, Xiang Bei didn’t know what to say.

  After the year has passed, spring is coming.

  The warm spring breeze has blown, and the green leaves are already emerging in the bare courtyard covered by heavy snow.

  Jiujiu didn’t have to worry that the child would get sick from the cold, so he didn’t continue to hold the child and let them play in the courtyard.
