Chapter 1120: New Year's Eve 2
"Are you full after eating so much? Xiulan, do you want to eat more?"
"I'm really full, can I still starve myself?"
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Hey, Xiulan, your appetite is too small, that's not enough, you should eat more in the future."
"That's because you have a big appetite, and girls have such an appetite." Zhao Xiulan complained, this guy doesn't think everyone can eat like him, right?
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything. Since the little wife doesn't eat it, such a good thing can't be wasted.
Jiang Cheng slammed a few times and ate all the steamed eggs into his stomach.
"Delicious!" After eating, Jiang Cheng wiped his mouth and looked satisfied.
In the afternoon, the project department was still busy.
The men were busy writing couplets together. They found people with good calligraphy and wrote Spring Festival couplets, and each household received a pair of Spring Festival couplets.
These are all divisions of labor and cooperation. Some people write and some people cut them, and some people help to dry them.
Zhao Xiulan and Jiang Cheng also went to pick up a pair of Spring Festival couplets and put them on the door. There was also a word "Fu" pasted on the window, which looked very festive.
Zhao Hong also took back the couplet and was busy putting it up.
The happiest are the two children, who took the initiative to help paste the Spring Festival couplets on paper.
Soon, Spring Festival couplets were posted on the doors of every dormitory.
In this era, generally speaking, everyone is relatively simple, so the flavor of the year is also strong.
All of them had bright smiles on their faces. Although they were celebrating the New Year in a faraway place, they did not feel lonely when they gathered together.
If there is only one person during the New Year, it will be different. No one will accompany you during the New Year, and your life will not be good. You will only feel endless loneliness and sadness.
At this time, the Zhao family in the countryside also began to get busy.
Without Zhao Xiulan this year, Zhao Weiguo felt that there was no one at home, and the atmosphere was much quieter.
I used to be together all the time, and I didn't feel anything, but now I realize how much I care about my daughter, and now I miss Zhao Xiulan more and more.
If Zhao Xiulan could come back for the Chinese New Year, the family would definitely be more lively.
Seeing that Zhao Weiguo misses Zhao Xiulan, Ma Yumei comforted her, "Weiguo, don't think about girl Xiulan, she has to accompany Jiangcheng.
Looking back, the girl Xiulan married into the Jiang family. She couldn't go home for the New Year every year, but had to spend the New Year at her husband's house.
We have to relax and get used to it.
Now we have a lot of family members, don't you see Xiuzhu? This girl can still accompany us for a long time, and Xiufen, who has to accompany us for ten or twenty years.
When I look back, I will work hard and give birth to a son for you. When we have a son, grow up and marry a wife, the family will become more and more popular, and it will become more and more lively. "
Ma Yumei's comfort made Zhao Weiguo feel better.
It's true that Zhao Xiulan has to get married. Even if she comes back this year for Chinese New Year, she will go to her husband's house when she gets married next year, but she still won't be able to come back.
In fact, there is a reason for the country people to value young women.
In this era, farming is the mainstay. There are more men in the family, more labor, and more work points, so that we can get more food.
When the daughter is raised, she will be married off. She is basically at her husband's house, and it is not easy to go back to her mother's house. But the son is different. If he can marry a daughter-in-law and come back, he will always be with his parents.
Decades later, waiting for their daughter to get married, and without a son to accompany them, the old couple is too lonely.
Especially in this era, the daughters who get married will not support their parents, and the elderly are basically managed by their sons, and the sons will take care of them and die. If there is no son, the old couple will be old and no one will care.
