The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

A month before the New Year, Zhang Shizhong moved into a large house in Pingyang County.

At that time, Zhang also brought her whole family to help him warm the house.

Now the two families live not far from each other and visit each other frequently.

After Zhang Shizhong ate the food they brought, he became very picky about food and could not eat ordinary food.

So Boss Cheng would deliver food to his house every few days.

Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and the three daughters-in-law are all going back to their parents' homes with their children, so Zhang plans to take everyone to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Shizhong on the third day.

The atmosphere in the village was a little depressed that day.

Not everyone is as lucky as Liu and Wang to find their own family.

More than half of the women in the village have not yet found their maternal families, and some have received confirmed news that there is no one left in their maternal families.

Of course, some people are lucky enough, but there may still be some regrets. Although some close relatives escaped the flood, they still could not escape the plague. But at least, there are still their maternal family members.

Early in the morning, the army returning to their mother's home went down the mountain with large and small bags.

Recently, when Zhou is free, she often comes to help take care of the baby. Her return to her parents' home is no different from visiting relatives.

After Liu and Wang came down the mountain, they took their husbands and children and went their separate ways.

Their parents' homes are in different directions.

Wang's parents' home is in Daling Village, not far from the town, only half an hour's walk away.

Liujia Village is quite far from the town, and it takes at least an hour and a half to walk there at the fastest speed.

So the family's carriage was driven by Boss Cheng to Liujia Village. This carriage was not given to Chengjia Village by Jimin Hall, but by Cheng Shizhong.

The main purpose is to make it easier for Boss Cheng to deliver food to him.

There were two other families in the village whose daughters-in-law were from Liujia Village, so Boss Cheng took them along as well.

Knowing that my sister and her family would be back today, the Liu family did not go out today. The children could not sit still and ran back and forth to the village entrance.

The carriage entered Liujia Village, which used to be the village with the largest population and relatively affluent life, but now only has a few sparse households left.

Countless ruins sobbed in the cold wind, adding a sense of desolation and sadness to this festive New Year.

The joy of people's reunion was somewhat diluted.

The Liu family's house was not far from the entrance of the village. After Cheng Lao Da sent Liu and her family to the door of the Liu family, he drove the other two families to their parents' homes.

"Aunt! Grandma, Dad, Mom! Aunt is back!"

The children guarding the door saw Liu and her four cousins ​​first and shouted happily into the house.

Upon hearing the voice, the Liu family members came out to greet them.

"Mom and Dad, Brothers and Sisters-in-law, I'm back!"

"Happy New Year, grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, cousins!"

The four Cheng Jinwen brothers called people politely.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, good kids, all good kids! Come on! It's cold outside, come inside!"

Liu's mother, Xu, hugged the youngest Cheng Jinchen and touched the heads of Cheng Jinwen and others lovingly.

"Grandma's dear grandchildren. I haven't seen them for a while. You have grown taller."

At this time, Old Man Liu suddenly discovered that one person was missing.

"Hey, where's Ze Zhong? Didn't he come with you?"

"Cao'er and Cui'er came back with us in the carriage. They brought a lot of stuff and the child was still young, so it was not very convenient. So my husband just sent them back."

After Liu finished speaking, everyone noticed the large pile of gifts they brought behind the crowd.

"You kid, if you don't manage the household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If you come back, just come back. Why bring these old things with you?

We still have all the food you sent us when we moved into our new house last month. Because you sent so much, we don’t have to buy any New Year’s goods.”

Xu held Cheng Jinchen in one hand and Cheng Jinheng in the other and led them into the house.

Liu Shisheng and his two brothers moved in all the gifts they had brought.

"Sister, I haven't finished half of the rice I brought last time, why did you bring so much again today?

However, I have to say that the rice you brought tastes different. Not only does it taste good, but after eating it for a few times, I feel like I’m feeling better.”

Liu Shisheng carried a bag of rice and smacked his lips happily as he recalled the fragrant white rice on New Year's Day.

My mother usually couldn't bear to eat the rice that my sister sent her, so she would mix it with brown rice when cooking porridge. She only made dry white rice for her on New Year's Day.

My sister and her family are back today, so I think mom should be willing to cook some rice.

Entering the main room, unlike the cold outside, there was a charcoal fire burning inside, making the whole room warm.

The Liu family definitely cannot afford to burn charcoal. The carbon fire in this brazier is actually tea seed shells.

Tea seed shells are resistant to burning and produce little smoke, making them a good heating tool.

"Little sister, it's cold outside, come and warm yourself by the fire to drive away the cold! Children, take off your shoes and warm your feet!"

Sister-in-law Jiang brought out a few fire baskets from the kitchen and handed them to them.

Fire basket - a must-have artifact for keeping warm in winter.

The outside is woven with bamboo strips into the shape of a flower basket, and inside is a large clay bowl used to hold charcoal fire.

The fire basket not only provides warmth, but also serves as an ancient drying machine. On rainy winter days, when clothes are difficult to dry, a fire basket can be used to dry them.

The fire basket was used constantly and its surface became shiny and not prickly at all.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. It is really cold. My fingers are like ice cubes."

Liu blew into her palms, rubbed her hands quickly, took the fire basket, and thanked Jiang.

At this time, the second sister-in-law Yao and the third sister-in-law Chen each brought out a stack of bowls and chopsticks and a basin of steaming hot sugar-water eggs.

"Hurry up and eat two sugar-water eggs while they're still hot. This will warm up your stomach and your body won't be cold anymore."

"Oh, why did you cook so many eggs? We just came here after breakfast and are still full. Hurry up and share the eggs with the children."

Liu felt sad as she looked at her nephews and nieces who were quietly swallowing their saliva.

Although the Liu family's life was better than before, and the children's faces had gained a little weight, they still looked a little pale and thin compared to her four sons who had rosy complexions.

Maybe you don't eat this egg very often.

The Liu family has only two hens, and there are more than 20 eggs in this basin alone. How long will it take to save all these eggs?

"Leave them alone, they've eaten!"

Chen filled a bowl with eggs and placed it in front of Liu.

"Eat it quickly. The weather is cold and the sugar water will get cold quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Third sister-in-law, this is too much, too much. I can't eat so much. I'll just eat one. You can share some with the children."

"Eat first, and we'll talk if you can't finish it!"

A bowl full of eggs was placed in front of each of Cheng Jinwen's four brothers.

They really couldn't resist the enthusiasm of their aunts.

Cheng Jinwu suddenly had an idea.

"Mom, I want to eat outside!"

Liu understood what he meant.

"Go ahead, be careful not to drop the bowl."

"I am coming too!"

"I am coming too!"

"Cousin, can you help us get the eggs out?"

The four brothers got down from the table and ran out the door as if they were escaping.

When Boss Cheng came back, he saw a group of children outside the courtyard wall sharing four bowls of eggs.

"Zezhong is back, come in and give the horse to me."

Liu Shisheng took the reins and told Boss Cheng to go into the house quickly.

"I'll go into the house first and say hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Brother, do you have time to go out with me later? I want to visit our original village."
