Wen Family Has a Wife

\u003e Since the room needs to be cleaned up, the things in Zhang's house will naturally have to be moved out. As for the table where the tablet is placed in the old hall, it can be used. Anyway, the front yard will also be renovated in the future. Just have to make do with it.

When cleaning the house, Chen Ningya discovered that the Zhang family still kept many children's clothes. In addition, one of the tablets enshrined was an anonymous one. Yes, it has always been a single lineage. Wen Youshan's grandfather was an orphan, and his parents didn't know who it was. Therefore, the Wen family's tablets started from grandfather and grandmother, with three generations complete. What is the situation of this anonymous person?

Chen Ningya looked at Wen Youshan suspiciously, "Youshan, whose tablet belongs to?"

No wonder Chen Ningya is curious, when the time comes, ancestors will always have to recite some sacrificial texts, even if they don't know who they are, how to worship?

When Wen Youshan saw the tablet, his face became more disappointed, and he sighed: "It's my eldest brother, but I haven't seen it before. I heard from Grandma Sun that I have an eldest brother and a eldest sister. The eldest brother was swept away by the flood when he was a child. My parents are heartbroken when the person is gone, and I was born a few years later, so I can be regarded as their old son."

Chen Ningya didn't know that the Wen family had such a story at all, so she blurted out subconsciously, "What about your eldest sister?"

Wen Youshan paused, glanced at Chen Ningya, and said with a long sigh of relief, "My eldest sister was sent away by my parents when I was three years old, and she said that she was going to be a child bride, and I was too young at that time. Now, I only have a little impression, if Grandma Sun didn't mention it from time to time, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a person."

Child brides are very common in poor families. If there are too many children in the family, the girl will be sent away to exchange for some food or something. The other party has no money to marry a daughter-in-law.

Don't say that parents are cruel, it is better to be a child bride than to be sold as a maid or something, but Wen Youshan is just such a sister, what did his parents think, why did they send people away? Moreover, they have never contacted each other in these years, at least Chen Ningya has not heard the legend of this eldest sister since she arrived at Wen's house.

Seeing Chen Ningya's confusion, Wen Youshan said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't know, it seems that my elder brother had an accident because of my elder sister. My parents hated my elder sister, so I was three years old. At that time, they sent people away, saying it was out of sight, but these were all from what Grandma Sun said, and I didn't ask any more questions."

Chen Ningya choked, and she gave him a stern look at him, "Why are you so hearty? After all, it's your eldest sister, you haven't looked for it?"

"But I don't have any impression. In my memory, the eldest sister always works alone in the kitchen, her face is dark, I have never seen her laugh or cry, she seems to be expressionless all the time,

Now I can't even remember what she looked like.

I also asked Grandma Sun where the eldest sister was sent to, but Grandma Sun said she didn't know either. She only knew that my parents kept me at Sun's house for three days. When they came back, the eldest sister was already someone else's. I also inquired about it, but my mother always kept her mouth shut. After a long time, everyone stopped asking. Now that the mother is gone, this person is even more difficult to find. "

Wen Youshan felt wronged, he really asked, but when he was a child, he was very light, and adults didn't take his words to heart. When he grew up, he also understood that the eldest sister was a thorn in the heart of his parents, and he was even more afraid. I asked, and it turned out to be the way it is now.

Chen Ningya shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Forget it, it's all a mess, we should hurry up to clean up and prepare to worship our ancestors, just happened to buy a lot of incense and paper money in the town yesterday."

Wen Youshan hurriedly helped, and the dog-legged appearance immediately made Chen Ningya laugh.

The front yard was busy cleaning up the house, and the children in the back yard were not idle. When Chen Ningya passed by, the two older children had already processed the ingredients, and they just waited for Chen Ningya to cook.

It's still early, so I just need to put the braised chestnut trotters and pork rib soup and simmer, and wait until the evening to get the rest. It's just this way, the yard is full of the smell of meat, and the smell is so fragrant that it almost makes people's stomachs The greedy worms were hooked out, and a few children didn't even practice words, so they stayed at the entrance of the kitchen and waited for it to get dark.

When Shen Shi arrived, Chen Ningya first burned two large pots of water to let the children bathe and change new clothes, while Wen Youshan continued to fetch water, and while everyone was busy, she also started to cook the New Year's Eve dinner.

As the dishes came out of the pot, the whole yard was filled with the smell of food, and the children who had finished bathing cheered in the main room, sticking their heads out from time to time to take a look at the stove.

It's cold at the moment, and the dishes are cold as soon as they come out of the pot. Chen Ningya can only put the cooked dishes in the steamer, and then go to take a shower and change clothes when she is done.

After the whole family changed into clean clothes, the New Year's Eve dinner was served. With the fragrant dishes on the table, the children only felt that their eyes were not enough. The braised pig's trotters must be served by one person. The shrimp is one per person, and the fish should also be tasted. There is also the stir-fried octopus, which has a firm taste and wild peppers. It tastes numb and is hot all over. You must eat more. The pancakes are not to be missed. Once they came down, Wen Yuanliang was so full that he almost supported the wall. Even the youngest Wen Yuanxing had his stomach rounded, and even shouted that he wanted to continue eating even though he couldn't hold it.

Chen Ningya picked up the person in a funny hug, and after a while, the little guy reluctantly left the dining table.

When the children were full, they went out to set off firecrackers in the yard. Chen Ningya and Wen Youshan finally had a quiet meal.

Wen Youshan was eating pancakes with seafood noodles, and Chen Ningya would sometimes put a piece of pig's trotter or octopus for him, so that he couldn't even talk about it, and Wen Youshan sighed when the two of them had almost eaten. I never thought that life could be so good. At the beginning of the year, I was still thinking, as long as we get you back, our family will be in order. As long as I have a bite to eat, we will not let You guys are hungry, who knows that it’s only been a year, and the family has a new house and a warehouse full of grain, but it’s a pity that my mother left early and couldn’t enjoy the happiness with us.”

Chen Ningya tugged at the corner of her mouth and laughed dryly, thinking to herself, if Mrs. Zhang was still alive, she would not have fallen, let alone be reborn. But I can only think about it, not say it.

The two gathered together and remembered Kusitian for a long time before they got up and went to the yard to set off firecrackers with the children. The sound of firecrackers and laughter brought people's most beautiful expectations to render this cold snowy night.

When the time came, the tired children fell asleep. Chen Ningya and Wen Youshan hung up the newly bought red lanterns and continued to keep the year old.

This is how the new year begins.
