After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 167 The Best Parents of That Era
A month before the Lunar New Year, the Xie family handed over one of their fat pigs, keeping the other one to slaughter for the New Year, so they could also make some cured meat.
Nowadays, people don't get new clothes or shoes for the New Year. Those who are better off can cook a big meal.
Those with limited resources can just make do and get by.
The Xie family is relatively well-off. Although they don't have money to buy new clothes, they are able to afford decent food.
On New Year's Eve, we mustn't argue or have conflicts, so the whole family stays peaceful and harmonious.
Even if you're angry, you have to hold it in and get through New Year's Eve and New Year's Day first. Then you can settle accounts later.
On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, Ruolan didn't hear Xie Laoniang's loud voice.
She used to rely on Grandma Jie's loud voice as her alarm clock. This morning, she didn't hear her calling and ended up oversleeping.
It's not that Auntie Xie doesn't have a temper, but she has to hold it in. She can't shout or argue loudly during the first and last two days of the year, otherwise the whole year will be unlucky for the family.
To ensure a smooth year ahead, Aunt Jie would remain silent for two days every Lunar New Year.
But you can't make her angry. If she gets angry, you have to hold it in. Otherwise, once the New Year is over, she'll be scolding you until the Lantern Festival.
Shuisheng carried the water for washing his face into the room and saw that his wife was still fast asleep. He was worried that if he woke up late, his mother would lose face.
Thinking of his mother's increasingly dark face, he felt that his wife should wake up too! In fact, Ruolan had already woken up, but her mind was awake while her eyes were still closed.
She just wanted to stay in bed. Shui Sheng plopped down next to her. Ruolan looked at him, slowly snuggled into his arms, and said coquettishly, "I don't want to get up yet."
Looking at his wife, who was becoming increasingly affectionate, Shuisheng felt incredibly happy!
Recalling the time when my wife had just returned from her rebirth not long ago, I was completely dazed and did things in a very rigid manner.
After more than a month of his meticulous care, his wife has returned to how she was when they first got married, just like before, inseparable.
"Why don't you get up and go to my place for a bit, then come back to sleep, okay?"
Ruolan nodded, thinking the idea was quite good.
As soon as she sat up, she felt an unbearable backache and her legs were as weak as noodles. She lost her balance and fell back down.
Shuisheng quickly helped her up, and Ruolan couldn't help but mutter, "It's all your fault. I told you once last night that was enough, but you insisted on doing it two or three times."
Speaking of this, Ruolan was really a little annoyed. It was freezing cold, and she still had to go through all this trouble with him. The worst part was that it was freezing cold when she was cleaning up afterwards!
Thinking back to his unbridled indulgence and the ultimate feeling of comfort, Shui Sheng was eager to try again.
To avoid embarrassing himself later, he quickly shifted his attention, lifted his wife onto his lap, and helped her rinse her mouth and wash her face.
Ruolan originally said she would just drop by her mother's place and come back, but then she realized that she was already up, so she decided to go and help out with something, otherwise getting up so early would be too much of a waste.
Actually, we only eat one meal during the Chinese New Year. In the morning, the whole family is busy cleaning.
We started cooking and preparing the ingredients around noon. After finishing the preliminary work, we started stir-frying the vegetables around 3 p.m.
By the time everything was ready, it was already five o'clock. It was time for the Xie family's New Year's Eve dinner. They had finally managed to have a good meal, and all the good things in the house had been brought out.
The meal was made with a mixture of cornmeal and a little rice. On the table for offering incense, there were steamed cornbread, a jar of fruit, cured meat, sausage, and homemade tofu.
There was also a vegetarian dish of boiled cabbage hearts, plus a dish of sweet and sour pork. The two roosters in the house were also slaughtered and stewed into a pot of chicken and potatoes.
In those days, having these dishes for the New Year was already quite a feast, since they were all from pigs raised on their own farms. As for that jar of fruit, it was given to him by his employer in the city when he went to work there.
During today's New Year's Eve dinner, Sister-in-law Xie was unusually quiet. You see, in the past, she would always make sarcastic remarks at this time of year.
Today, everyone in the family ate to their hearts' content, their bellies round and full, completely satisfied.
After the meal, the wives of the eldest and third wives cleaned up the dishes, Ruolan went to feed the pigs, and the children went to play with their friends.
However, Ruolan didn't make it in the end. Shuisheng helped feed her. Ruolan was afraid of the cold, so she went straight to her room and lay down.
When Shuisheng came back in, Ruolan saw him carrying a shovel and shoveling some embers over.
“It’s too cold. You’ll feel cold lying in bed too. I’ll shovel the embers under the bed so it’ll be warmer.”
Looking at this thoughtful man, Ruolan felt a surge of tenderness in her heart, but she didn't know how to express it, so she could only look at him with love.
Shuisheng noticed, casually threw down the shovel, climbed onto the bed, and hugged her tightly.
Every time Ruolan expressed her deep affection, she received a warm response from Shuisheng, who gave her a strong sense of security.
Ruolan asked Shuisheng, "Why didn't you go to the village to play cards and chat with the men?"
Shui Sheng laughed and said, "With my beautiful wife at home, why would I go play cards? I can't even walk straight now that I'm holding you. If you don't believe me, just touch me."
As she spoke, she took Ruolan's hand and led her down to where Xiaoshuisheng was. Feeling Xiaoshuisheng's head rising, Ruolan shyly threw herself into her arms.
"What's there to be shy about? You've already used it, and you've seen it before."
"Shut up, how can you be so shameless, just spouting nonsense."
Shui Sheng looked a little aggrieved. There were only the two of them in the room, so what couldn't they say?
Then he thought of the Pechoin milk tea he bought for his wife in the city, which he had spotted at a department store while collecting supplies.
The winter wind is incredibly cold, and the air is terribly dry, making your skin prone to cracking.
Seeing his wife's dry, flaky face, he bought her a bottle.
Ruolan noticed that Shuisheng had been going out a lot lately, saying he was buying food, so she asked him, "What have you bought? How much have you bought?"
Shui Sheng's first thought was that he had just casually thrown all the things he bought into his space without properly organizing them.
"I bought everything I could eat or use, I don't even know what it is, I'll tell you after I've sorted it out."
The two began to organize the supplies that Shui Sheng had bought.
Meanwhile, Sister-in-law Xie saw her second brother's wife go back to her room, and then her second brother followed. She thought to herself, "In broad daylight, the couple is sneaking into their room."
Just thinking about what those two could possibly do in the room made Sister-in-law Jie feel incredibly ashamed.
But her gossipy heart started to stir again, and she wanted to go and complain to her mother.
Grandma Jie and her husband were warming themselves by the fire in the kitchen. All the children in the family had gone out to play with their friends, and even the youngest son and his wife had gone out.
She watched from afar as Sister-in-law Xie looked like she had a complaint against someone, and took a deep breath in resignation.
Considering it's the Lunar New Year, I'll just have to bear with it.
Shuisheng and Ruolan have organized all the supplies they bought. The things that were just piled up in a mess are now neatly arranged in the room.
Ruolan suggested, "You know how to make furniture, right? Why don't you make a shelf? That way, all the grain can be arranged neatly, and it will save some space."
As Ruolan spoke, she painstakingly gestured to Shuisheng what the shelves looked like.
Just by watching Ruolan's gestures, Shuisheng really couldn't imagine it, but he had a general idea.
"Okay, I'll get it done when the weather gets warmer."
