Mingming's eyes seemed to be shining when he hugged his father, the mountain that was pressing on his heart in the past was taken down by Xianyu himself at this moment.

He's not that poor little guy that only grandma would love, obviously daddy loves him very much too.

Xianxuan made fun of himself, and started arguing with his mother after returning home, insisting on two sets of new clothes for the New Year, and the same material as that of Xianming next door.

Listening to the noise coming from next door, the old lady exchanged a look with her eldest daughter-in-law, and continued to make clothes again.

On a snowy day, Mrs. Wu was going back to his hometown to visit his mother, so he finished writing the homework inscriptions left early, so he could spend all the rest of his time playing with his father.

When the snow stopped, the eldest brother went to the mountain with his younger brother, cut down some trees, and prepared to come back to make boxes.

"Third brother, although it's not convenient for this father now, but if you ask father to tell me how to do it, it's not impossible for me to do it."

The boss didn't think of this before, but now after being reminded by his wife, he thinks that he can earn some money, so he wants to work harder in snowy weather.

Several children in his family are not young, and the son needs money to marry a wife, and the daughter will have to add some dowry to her when she gets married, so that she can live a straight life in her husband's house.

"Brother, then go back and ask Dad if he would like to tell you."

"Row."

The old man can only lie on the bed all day now, and he doesn't dare to move at all. Even if the movement of turning over is a little heavy, the old lady has to go over and reprimand him.

He has been busy for most of his life, and he is a character who can't be idle. Now that he finally has something to do, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Mingming always sat beside his father holding a book left by his master.

Dad paints, he reads, and the atmosphere between father and son is quite harmonious.

The old lady has a lot of money in her pocket this year, so she is extra confident when preparing some things for the New Year. In addition to the gifts she wants to bring back to her natal home, her eldest daughter-in-law also brought a very rich gift back to her natal home.

When other people in the village mentioned it, the old lady said with a smile: "Our family only has the old lady as a daughter-in-law, so of course we have to treat her better."

In the past, it was the old lady who was thinking about her family and the prosperity of everything, so she held back her temper all the time. Now that the second child was separated, she didn't care about some things, and said them without hesitation.

Every time the second daughter-in-law heard what the old lady said, she would be so angry that her mouth would straighten.

Before the Chinese New Year, Xianyu sold another box and made some money back.

Just like before, he handed over the money to the old lady. His candid attitude made both the boss and the boss's wife a little uncomfortable.

Thinking about the fact that they had mentioned behind their backs before that their parents favored the third brother, thinking of the third brother for all good things, now their faces began to burn.

If she is a mother, she must also be thinking about it, and she will give such a large sum of money as she pleases, without feeling distressed at all.

On the day of the New Year's Eve, preparations started early in the morning. A doctor came to treat the old man's leg, and he was able to get out of bed now.

The doctor told him that it is best not to move around until he has recuperated, so the old man only occasionally goes out to bask in the sun.

Today is the Chinese New Year, the boss just picked him up and got together for a New Year's Eve dinner.

When the smell of the food here wafted to the next door, Xian Xuan, who was already dissatisfied with the food in front of him, dropped his chopsticks.

"It's all your fault. If it wasn't for you, I would be able to eat meat next door now. The Chinese New Year will let me eat this. I don't want parents like you."

When the second daughter-in-law heard this sentence, she raised her hand and wanted to slap this son severely. The reason why she chose to split up was not because of this child.

It's fine if they don't understand, but now he still blames them in the end!

The second child was silent for a long time after listening to it. It was indeed his fault that he was a bad father and failed to give the child what he wanted.

"Is there still a piece of meat hanging on the beam of the house? Why don't you burn it, and it will make the children lively during the Chinese New Year."

The second daughter-in-law was indeed angry because of what the child said, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she feels that it is not worth it. After all, it is Chinese New Year, and the smell from next door has already floated in front of them.

As an adult, she felt that the food in front of her was tasteless, let alone a child as big as Xuan'er.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll fry some meat for you."

These are all old houses. After the separation, only a simple earthen wall was built. The sound from this side can be heard clearly from that side.

The old lady sighed helplessly. The second child's family didn't like her before, and every time she mentioned it, she would say that she didn't care about Mingming.

Now that the family is separated, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, but when she sees it occasionally, she still feels somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

There are those who dote on children, but this matter has to be handled properly, if not, then there are no rules.

She did not mention Mingming, and the reason is not because of partiality.

No matter how much Mingming pampers him, he always knows the rules. He doesn't need to say much, he is sensible enough.

Mingming noticed that grandma was looking at him, and after hesitating for a while, he handed the chicken leg that grandpa had just given him to grandma, and asked curiously, "Does grandma want to eat this?"

The old lady came back to her senses after hearing the voice of her little grandson, smiled and shook her head.

"Grandma won't eat."

At today's New Year's Eve dinner, because they have a large family, the old lady went to the village and bought two chickens. Mingming and Xiaoya each had a chicken leg, and the other two were given to Xianyu and the old man.

As for herself, the old lady was reluctant to eat.

Xianyu put the chicken legs that the old lady put in his bowl in front of the old lady, and before she could speak, he said, "Mom, you and sister-in-law are also busy with the New Year's Eve dinner, and it's hard work, and you are so old You are old, you should eat this chicken leg."

Ming Ming stared at Daddy's empty bowl, thought for a while, and planned to share his chicken legs with Daddy.

"If you don't finish eating, you are not allowed to sleep today."

Xianyu stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, said these words solemnly, and then picked a little carrot for him.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, because the whole family lives together, the money is handed over to the old lady, so the old lady sends out the New Year's money every year.

Mingming took the two red envelopes handed over by his grandma, and after looking at each other for a while, he inexplicably understood what grandma meant, nodded his head and ran out to find his father.

Handed one of them to Dad's hand.

The boss has several children, the eldest daughter-in-law didn't see it just now, even if she saw her, she felt nothing.

If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't have any money on hand, she would have wished to give the third child some money.

After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up, and many people have already started to get busy with the things in the field.

Previously, the second daughter-in-law only thought that although the land was difficult to grow, the harvest was the best every year, so she asked for that piece of land when the family was separated.

When the family was not separated, the elder brother had always been loosening the soil on that piece of land, so they only heard his elder brother mention it often, and they didn't have a very clear understanding of how difficult this land was to cultivate.

Now when they start working on their own, they realize how tiring it is.

Xianyu himself was too lazy to go to the ground, his father's legs and feet were still not good enough, Mingming was sent to Mrs. Wu again, the old lady had to stay at home and busy with many things.

In their family, only the eldest couple and their eldest son can work.

"Mom, why don't we hire someone to farm the land? Let the eldest brother help Dad make boxes together."

The few boxes that were sold before helped Xianyu gain fame. Among them, the daughter of a family was married to Gao, and in the dowry was only the box with rough workmanship but exquisite painting, which made her mother-in-law's eyes shine.

Later, her mother-in-law asked the daughter-in-law, and came all the way to ask Xianyu to draw two boxes for her daughter's dowry.

The money given was quite a lot, the old lady counted the money on hand, and already planned to spend some time before inviting someone to rebuild the house.

"Father is not in good health yet, so it's not good to keep him too busy for a while. In addition, Dad is slow in doing things. I stay at home every day and do nothing. What if the eldest brother has any objections? manage?"

When the old lady heard these words, her sewing gradually slowed down.

"The money you earn from painting a box is more than your elder brother earns in a busy year. What's his opinion?"

"Mother, even though that's what I said, I've been idle at home all day long."

"How old are you? Do you still need me to teach you? You stay in that room by yourself, hold a pen and draw a few random strokes, and your elder brother and sister-in-law will come into your room to see if you are really good at painting?"

The old lady is used to thrift. She would rather go to the field to replace her eldest son by herself, and she would definitely not be able to invite someone to come over to farm. The money Baba hired is enough for them to buy food at the end of the year.

"Mother, it's wrong for you to say that. I don't want my sister-in-law to help take care of Mingming."

"If you have anything to do, just tell your sister-in-law directly. Your sister-in-law is not stupid."

Xianyu knew that he couldn't make sense of the old lady for a while now, so he simply hid away when Mingming was about to leave school, saying that he was too tired to pick up his children from school.

The old lady stared at the food that was cooking in the pot, and she couldn't scold at all, so she had to call back the eldest son of the old family and let him pick up Mingming.

After a few times, the old lady took the initiative to ask someone to come back to help. Although she said that the money was spent, the boss earned much more than that by making boxes.

Thinking of it this way, the old lady didn't feel distressed anymore, and even asked the eldest daughter-in-law to stay at home with him to do those things.

After the busy farming season passed, the old lady started to ask questions in the village, planning to build a new house.
