Chapter 248: Too bad

On New Year's Eve, snow falls one after another.

The sky in the morning is gray, but not dull.

Along the road where the mother-in-law and grandson walked out, the small farmyards were filled with laughter.

The distance from the fence courtyard to Chen Jianhe's home is only five minutes.

It's still early, just past nine in the morning.

The door of Chen's courtyard was wide open, and chatter and laughter could be heard in the room.

Zhang Xifeng took Qiqi into the courtyard, saw the basket covered with red paper at the door of the main room, and said with a smile, "Hey, people are here."

Qi Qi nodded his head in a serious manner, "The red paper basket was picked by those who care about it!"

When people in the countryside visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, they always like to put red paper on the burdens and baskets they carry, which makes them look festive.

Zhang Xifeng couldn't help laughing when she looked at her little appearance.

People are as big as little devils.

Before entering the house, Zhang Xifeng raised her voice and shouted, "Jianhe, Cuifang, are there guests at home?"

Lin Cuifang immediately came out of the main room and winked at Zhang Xifeng, "Hey, Auntie, are you bringing Qiqi over to play? Come in and sit by the fire. Taohua is seeing each other today. Someone from the groom's family is here, just in time to let her

You always help me control my eyes!"

Although everyone knew that the old man must have come here specifically to catch his eye, they couldn't say it openly.

Otherwise the atmosphere will be formal.

Qiqi watched her mother-in-law talking to her second uncle, her eyes wide open, shocked and curious.

The world of adults is so complicated.

The baby was dressed like a little pink ball, and looked so cute when her eyes widened. Lin Cuifang felt happy when she saw Qiqi, and took two steps forward to pick her up and bring her into the main room.

Because my daughter was meeting her today, she also put on the new clothes she was going to wear for the Chinese New Year, a new floral jacket with a blue background, black cotton trousers, her hair was combed into a bun and pinned with hairpins, and she looked very energetic.

"Second aunt, you look great today!" The baby whispered in her ear.

Lin Cuifang made her laugh and deliberately teased her, "How pretty?"

"She's really good-looking! My mother-in-law looks good today too!" The baby rolled her eyes and looked at the young girl with braids and a festive red cotton coat sitting quietly in the main room, "Sister Taohua looks the best today!"

The words touched Lin Cuifang's heart, and she was so happy that she rubbed the baby's pink and tender face with the tip of her nose, "Our Qiqi is really a clever little girl!"

The itch made the baby laugh.

In the main room, Chen Jianhe had brought a bench for Zhang Xifeng and Qi Qi and placed it next to the brazier. "Aunt, Qi Qi, sit here and warm yourself by the fire."

After that, he introduced the three strangers sitting next to the brazier to Zhang Xifeng, and grabbed a handful of candies for Qiqi, "This is from the Huang family at the head of Chaogui Village. Old Mao Huang, his eldest son, and

His second son."

The three members of the Huang family knew in their hearts that the old woman was here to help her, so they all stood up to say hello, not daring to neglect her.

Zhang Xifeng sat down with a smile, and then looked at the second son of the Huang family without any trace of sight.

Having lived here for decades, I know a lot about the surrounding villages.

The eldest son of the Huang family is already married, leaving only the second son in the family who has never been found.

The Huang family must have specially dressed up, and they were well-dressed.

The second son of his family does not look outstanding in appearance, he is of medium height and thin.

However, farmers do not look at each other based on their appearance. They are serious if they are responsible, willing to work, and can live a down-to-earth life.

While the adults were chatting and inquiring about each other, Qiqi was also looking at the youngest man.

I don’t know if it’s because my father, uncles, and even my cousin are all so good-looking, and even the elderly great-grandfather, grandpa, and Uncle Tang all have good temperaments and strong aura, so Qiqi’s eyes have been cultivated.

Looking at the ordinary appearance of the young man, I felt... really ordinary.

But looking at each other is definitely not that simple. Good-looking people are not necessarily good people. Grandpa Song is not a good person.

"Edan, how is that uncle?"

"You call me Sister Taohua, but you call her your future partner uncle? Zai'er, you're a senior." Dandan answered the question inappropriately.

Mud, does he know how to detect ghosts?

Let him see it, and he will definitely be unqualified in every aspect.

The question is what does it have to do with him?

It’s not like the kid wants to get married, so what should others do?

Qiqi didn't know Dandan's thoughts, so she was easily changed the subject, "You don't understand, a girl would be unhappy if she was called aunt. I used to sell garbage, and when I met someone of the same age as my second uncle, I would call her sister."

He was so happy that he gave me a toothpaste peel."

"Then why do you call me uncle and not brother?"

Qiqi said confidently, "Because he looks as old as Uncle Heizi."

Since Dandan couldn't ask anything, Qiqi went to Taohua, who was sitting alone.

"Sister Taohua, are you unhappy?" Wa'er asked quietly.

Taohua was stunned and asked with a smile, "How can you tell that my sister is unhappy?"

"You didn't smile just now. You kept your head down and didn't speak. You were like this when Qiqi was unhappy."

Taohua pursed her lips, put the baby on her lap, and peeled peanuts for her to eat, "Sister is not unhappy. My mother said that a girl's family must be quiet and submissive, and others will like her."

Qiqi suddenly understood and nodded like a grown-up, "Second Auntie won't let you speak."

"..." Why is Xiao Qiqi so smart?

"But I like the way Sister Taohua talks, lively and cute!"

Taohua burst out laughing, amused by the baby, "Lively and cute is how to describe a baby."

"Sister Taohua is so pretty and cute! Look, when you talk, your eyes light up, you're so beautiful!" After the baby finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her little hand and bit her ear, "You look like a wooden person if you don't talk, sister! It doesn't look good!"

I won’t lie to you at all!”

The girl, who was really in a dull mood at first, was so amused by the baby that her bright black eyes were filled with a smile, overflowing with a shallow watery light, like autumn waves.

Very attractive.

Sensing that someone's eyes were on her, Taohua turned around calmly to avoid it.

Knowing that he had been discovered, the young man quickly looked away, looking embarrassed and his face turned red.

The actions of young people are all seen by their elders.

"Young people are just thin-skinned, hahaha." Huang Laomaoer joked and suggested, "Brother Jianhe, brother and sister, why don't you let the two young people come to the side to talk? In the future, the two of them will live together, so let them

Do they understand each other?"

He is a few months older than Chen Jianhe, but he looks much older than Chen Jianhe.

The situation of the Huang family is no better than that of the Chen family in the past. They have survived through hardships.

Chen Jianhe frowned at first, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Xifeng and his wife. The two women nodded secretly before agreeing.

Whether Taohua and the boy from the Huang family will get along is another matter, but it is always good for the two of them to get to know each other.

Today is no longer the old society. It is still okay for young men and women to talk a few words in private, and no one in the village gossips.
