Different from the warmth and peace of the Cheng family, the old Xu family had a very unpleasant New Year this year.

The male owner of the family where Xu Cui worked as a nanny was reported by her mother-in-law's family.

He said that he had a disorderly private life. When his wife was seriously ill, he had an affair with the nanny at home. Just a few days after his wife left, the nanny treated him as his mistress and insisted on being punished by the factory.

The factory leader talked to him several times about this matter. Since there was no conclusive evidence, nothing could be done to him, but from the leader's tone, it seemed that there was no hope of promotion in the near future.

In order not to disappoint the leader and thus keep his position as a cadre, after weighing the pros and cons, he let Xu Cui go home.

“Xiao Cui, look at the state of the house now, it’s really not convenient for you to continue to work.”

Xu Cui couldn't believe her ears. Not long ago, the man who touched her hand by pouring tea was actually driving her home at this moment?

"I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances recently, and it's all thanks to me. I'm used to you being busy in this house. After Axiang left, you didn't realize that there was anything wrong, which caused you to suffer. This deal Let me compensate you with the money."

　　　…”

Xu Cui took the money and returned to Wanxing Village.

Even though the gift was a lot, compared to the cadre wife she longed for, it was not even a little bit behind.

Xu's mother didn't know what she was thinking. When she heard that she would not work for her employer after the new year, she thought she planned to stay in the village, so she turned to a matchmaker to find her a second marriage partner.

Now that there is no **** of triplets, it is relatively easy for Xu Cui to get married for the second time at her age.

No, soon the matchmaker came with a smile and spread the news - saying that the pig butcher from the next village whose wife died was willing to marry Xu Cui.

After Xu Cui learned about it, his eyes were scarlet and he lost his temper:

"Who said I have to stay in the village? And asked me to marry a pig butcher who can't read a word? Mother, are you helping me or harming me?"

After that, he kicked the matchmaker out of the house: "Go away! I, Xu Cui, will never marry a pig butcher in my life."

"What's wrong with being a pig butcher? I'll sell the leftover pigs to feed you until you're full. If it weren't for my friendship with Arong's mother, do you think he would agree so readily... You really don't know the heart of a good person! Hmph!" Matchmaker He shook the handkerchief and left angrily, "Don't come to me again about your old Xu family's matters from now on!"

Xu's mother hurriedly caught up and appeased the matchmaker. When she came back, she persuaded her earnestly: "Cui'er, Ah Rong's conditions are enough for you. At your age, you are divorced. How can you imagine finding a second marriage?" It’s so easy…”

 “Whether it’s easy or not is all my business, don’t worry about it anymore!”

"You!" Xu's mother fell back in anger, "Okay, okay! If you have the ability, you can find it yourself! Your father and I will never care about it anymore!"

　　“Look for it yourself!”

That’s what I say, but it’s so easy to find.

Go back to the city to find a job. I heard that the young people who went north to reclaim the wasteland are coming back one after another. Factories must give priority to these young people when recruiting workers.

　　Go to the cadre family home and find a job as a nanny like before. I don’t know who got a thousand cuts deliberately spread rumors about her. He even said that the reason why she came out of the previous house was because she deliberately seduced the male master and was fired.

Who would hire her then? As a result, her market in the nanny market hit rock bottom. As the new year was approaching and she had nowhere to go, she had no choice but to return to Wanxing Village.

How could she, who was so proud, be willing to go out to visit relatives, just like this from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month?

Eating pickle lumps without any taste, Xu Cui complained: "Mom, my little sister won't come back this year? People won't come back, and no money will be sent back? Are you and my dad going to eat pickles during the Chinese New Year?" The little daughter in the corner, Xu's mother sighed repeatedly: "She doesn't want to come back, what can I do?"

“Her daughter is really carefree.” Xu Cui curled her lips.

Xu's mother muttered: "Aren't you quite carefree at home? Apart from eating and moving your hands, what else have you done? Isn't it all done by your father and me?"

At this point, Xu Cui threw away her chopsticks and went back to the house before finishing the meal.

 Xu's mother and her husband looked at each other and sighed at the same time: "Alas..."

“Old man, you said it’s okay if the Yin’er people don’t come back. Why didn’t you write a letter to come back?”

 In the end, I took what the eldest daughter said to heart—even if the younger daughter marries far away and can’t go back to her parents’ home during the Chinese New Year, she can at least write a letter and send it some money.

 “Is it the water that was thrown out…”

 So my son is still reliable!

Even though the daughter-in-law is not an easy person to get along with, and I didn’t see any filial piety from them during the Chinese New Year, at least she is right next door, and I can answer any calls she makes.

"In my opinion, you still have to find a home for Cui'er." Comparing the two, Xu's mother's thoughts became more vivid. "How can there be a daughter who eats and lives in her parents' family but refuses to work in the fields? The eldest daughter-in-law sees , I should feel unhappy again."

This was heard by Xu Cui who came out to pour water and started making trouble again.

 Lao Xu's family is lively this year, it is indeed lively - the noise continues from the year before to the beginning of spring;

 It’s desolate, but it’s really desolate—the triplets’ grandsons have been given away, the younger daughter is married away, and the eldest son often accompanies his daughter-in-law back to his parents’ home. Apart from the divorced eldest daughter, they are the only two left.

 It’s not a good taste anyway.

 …

 After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is over.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xu Yin pounded a small mortar of black sesame seeds, mixed some lard and sesame fillings, and made a few glutinous rice balls, not many, six for each person, making a total of six or six.

Fortunately, during the Lantern Festival in Beiguan, it was still freezing and snowy, and everyone was hiding indoors. The cold wind outside blew away the little scent of lard that drifted out from Xu Yin's house. Otherwise, you should be suspicious: What are Xiao Cheng and his wife doing? delicious? The New Year is almost over, but there is still pork at home?

“Isn’t it delicious when stewed like this?”

 Xu Yin used the remaining small strip of pork belly to stew a pot of dried mushrooms. There were only a few pieces of meat, but the wild mushrooms stewed the pork belly and it tasted really good. Even Xu Yin, who had eaten a Manchu-Han banquet and delicacies from all over the world, was also greedy at this moment.

"Smells good!" Cheng Shaojin gave her a big piece, and then it was his turn. He closed his eyes with satisfaction while eating, "The village chief is willing to trade fish and shrimp with you for such delicious meat?"

Xu Yin glanced at him with a smile: "If you don't trade with me, his family will only have pork during the Chinese New Year; if you trade with me, they will have not only pork, but also fish and shrimp. I gave him a small dustpan of fish and shrimp, and he gave me such a small bag in exchange." Tiaorou, if I have to say I’m reluctant to let go, it’s me, he’s the one who makes the profit, okay?”

 Speaking of which, any piece of meat she picked up from the system warehouse was bigger than this one. If it weren't for his high alertness, he would be so picky and searching.

 Having traveled through so many small worlds, this world is the most difficult for him.

Cheng Shaojin smiled and rubbed her head: "Thank you for your hard work, wife! We will also raise pigs on our farm in the future. I will work hard and try to bring back more pork during the Chinese New Year. You can eat whatever you want."
