The three of them hugged Bu happily, especially Wu Niang, who chattered non-stop with a small mouth, happily talking about what kind of clothes she would ask her to make. It wasn't until she left the town that the aunt's face collapsed, and she repeatedly rubbed the clothes uncomfortably. Bu, sighed frequently, "Mother, when you go back, you will definitely talk about us."

When Bai Xin heard her mentioning this, she also had a headache. She felt that her mother would not be able to change her timid temper at any time. It seemed that she would have to read it again when she bought something in the future.

The aunt showed hesitation, and her steps slowed down unconsciously, "How about we return the cloth?"

"Eldest sister!" Wu Niang heard this, and looked at the old lady pitifully, holding the cloth in her arms tightly with a pair of small hands, as if someone was about to take it away, she was very reluctant to part with it.

Since Bai Xin bought it, how could he return it? He shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm with my mother, and I'm responsible for the money."

Wu Niang was carefree, just thinking that the cloth was finally left behind, she exaggeratedly let out a sigh of relief, and jumped up and down, but the aunt was still worried, frowning together, and didn't talk much on the road.

After buying the cloth, Wu Niang was satisfied and didn't say any more, so the three of them went back early. When they entered the village, they were watched by Hao Yitong, and many people whispered secretly, guessing where they got the money.When they were almost at the door of the house, Wu Niang felt scared, and followed Bai Xin slowly with a sluggish expression.

When the three of them entered the house, it happened that Man Niang was strolling in the yard with the dog in her arms, and she saw the bright cloth in their arms at a glance. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and she subconsciously glanced at the house.

Mrs. Cao came out of the house when she heard the commotion outside, and saw Bai Xin and the other three hugging so many cloths, their smiles froze on their faces, and they were a little dazed.

Da Niang and Wu Niang shrank their shoulders at the same time. Bai Xin didn't want to stay in the yard for others to watch the fun, so he whispered "the first room", so everyone entered the room.

As soon as he entered the room, without waiting for the other party to speak, Bai Xin preemptively said: "Mom, I bought some cloth and made new clothes for everyone during the New Year. You don't have to worry about the money, I have a sense of proportion." Character.

Man Niang hugged the dog with a tense expression on her face, and all four pairs of eyes in the room looked at Mrs. Cao.

Mrs. Cao didn't speak for a while, then sighed heavily, "You have your own idea, you won't listen to what I say, just buy it."

Seeing her like this, Bai Xin was very surprised. The last time she bought honey, she could make her mother cry and fuss. This time, she spent more than ten times the money, so why did she become quiet instead?

It's not that Cao's heart aches, it's just that she suddenly feels that she is old and can no longer manage the family, and she may have to rely on Saburo for support in the future. It's the end of the battle, but even so, Cao is still a little wronged, and burst into tears.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry, my brother-in-law is also doing it for the good of the family."

"mother……"

The eldest sister knows Mother's psychology best, so she stood next to her and said cautiously: "Mother, the third brother is also grown up and can support the family. It's not that he doesn't listen to you, it's just that he doesn't want us to suffer. The third brother is in charge of the family's money. , you leave it all to him to worry about. You see, since we separated, we haven’t been hungry for a single meal, and it’s much better than before. It’s all thanks to the third brother. How can he do anything careless? "

Cao is also proud of her son from the bottom of her heart, and now she listens to her daughter talking about it, and she loves to listen to it, so she is not very angry. She raised her hand and stroked the eldest daughter's hair, with a loving face, "Didn't mother want to save your third brother?" Come on, can I save some more dowry for you? It just so happened that grandma said before that the grass post has passed, and the horoscope of the birthday is also suitable. I will come to see you after the new year. I will make you a new dress. The other party is satisfied."

Except Manniang, no one in the family knew about it. The main reason was that Mrs. Cao was afraid that the draft post would not be completed, which would only make her daughter sad, so she didn't say anything. Also don't hide it.

The aunt was stunned by this sudden marriage, her heart was a little excited, a little nervous, and she was also afraid of the unclear future. in the arms.

Bai Xin and Wu Niang were taken aback when they heard this, and felt very sad in their hearts. They couldn't help but think that if it happened, the eldest sister would get married in a few months, and it would be very difficult to see each other again in the future.Wu Niang's eyes immediately turned red, and she ran to the eldest sister and hugged her tightly, and then she burst into tears.

Seeing her little daughter crying, Mrs. Cao laughed instead, "It's a good thing your sister is getting married." She said so, but her voice was full of reluctance, and the tears she had just wiped poured out again.

Wu Niang wrapped her arms around the aunt's waist, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to part with my eldest sister, I'm afraid she will be bullied after she gets married."

When the aunt heard this, she couldn't help but think of the days when she was in Bai's house, she trembled with fright, most of her joy was gone, and she flinched.

Mrs. Cao noticed that her daughter was tense. She knew the daughter Mo Ruomu and also knew the worry of the aunt, so she hurriedly comforted her: "The family is in a good family. If the aunt gets married, she won't have to suffer."

In Cao's heart, the reason why he suffered hardships in the Bai family before was because the family had no money, and the poor and lowly couples were sad. If the family was rich, they would not be so noisy, and the family would be harmonious and beautiful.

Bai Xin frowned in disapproval. He admitted that his family's conditions were not good, and the eldest sister was not very beautiful. If the man's family was good, why would he find a daughter from such a poor family?Ms. Tu has a good personality?That's not true yet, how did you know?

The matter of buying cloth, even if it was lightly uncovered, the mother took the aunt and sister-in-law to busy making new clothes, and made the eldest sister an autumn-scented dress, the fifth sister was all in rouge, and there was a lot of rouge-colored cloth left, the sister-in-law I made a whole body with the rest of two bolts of cloth. The two colors are very bright, and they are bright and beautiful when matched together.Naturally, the sandalwood one was made for my mother. Originally, my mother didn't want it and wanted to add another one for my elder sister, but in the end I asked my elder sister to make an old and honest one. The two bolts of indigo cloth belonged to Bai Xin and my eldest brother, of course. I left some scraps of cloth and made two bodies for Gouzi.

The whole family, old and young, all got new clothes.

When Wu Niang tried it on, she couldn't bear to take it off, and she wanted to run to the river to take a picture, but she was afraid of getting dirty, so she kept spinning in circles and asked if it looked good.

The sister-in-law was wearing new clothes, she was at a loss, she couldn't even walk, and the elder brother sincerely praised how beautiful it was, which made her blush.

Grandma Bai and the others knew about Bai Xin's family buying cloth to make new clothes, and they were all so jealous that they would gossip from time to time, "I don't know where I got the money, maybe I'm doing something sneaky." The scolding got worse, and later they became more convinced that Bai Xin and the others got ill-gotten gains, and they all advised the neighbors to stay away from his house in the future, and don't come back and lose things and have no place to cry.

That being said, Grandma Bai's family has grass growing on their heads, and they all want to wear new clothes. Erniang, Sanniang, and Siniang whispered to their mothers that they wanted to wear new clothes. When they turned their faces, Ding and Xu turned to their men. Complaining, Erlang also said that he will go to Beijing for the exam next year, so he should dress better.

Grandma Bai also wants her family to dress better, but she has no money, and the people who originally wanted to have a relationship with their family can now see that Erlang has no intention of marrying a village girl as a wife, so they all stopped thinking about it. Thinking about it, naturally I don't want to waste money in it.

Grandma Bai couldn't borrow money, so she could only sell some things that others had given her in the town, and bought a piece of cloth, and only made new clothes for Erlang, which made the rest of the Bai family jealous.

After thinking about it, Ding felt a sense of crisis, and when the third uncle came home, he secretly cried to him, "You see, since Erlang became a scholar, they all want to look at people with their nostrils..."

"Erlang is promising. It's understandable for them to behave like this."

Ding continued to cry, "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that Erlang will become prosperous in the future. Don't care about us. You have spent a lot of money on him. People who don't know will think you are his real father. Don't fight him in the end. The water is empty."

The third uncle turned over irritably. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He raised eyebrows and yelled, "Isn't it all about you? I can't even give birth to a son!"

Ding clung to him softly, wept and said angrily, "Can you blame me? You can't stay at home for many days a year."

The third uncle saw her crying like pear blossoms and rain, he immediately softened half of his side, the anger had long been forgotten, he hugged her, pressed her into his arms and kissed her...

Time passed quickly, and it was the twelfth lunar month in a daze, and Bai Xin slowly bought meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. for the family, and it was almost ready for the New Year.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and every family posted door gods and couplets, and it was booming.

Bai Xin's family also displayed the leftover crispy candies and other things that were given by Young Master Cheng before, and put them on display, which is really nice.

A few people changed into new clothes and sat around the table. Although most of them were vegetarian dishes, there were enough six of them, and they looked lively and festive.

From Bai Xin's point of view, this year is rather shabby. There is no chicken, duck, fish, wine, and only a few vegetarian dishes. But in the eyes of others, this is the best year ever. There are delicacies from mountains and seas, but they are no longer shrouded in the shadow of others, and they will be scolded endlessly for even taking an extra bite of food.

After the meal, the table was cleared, everyone had a round belly, even the dog ate almost two dimes, waving his little hands, babbling and saying nothing.Originally a skinny child, he ate too much these days and his face was swollen. The carmine clothes made his face look white, his eyes were black and bright like stars, just like the lucky doll that ran out of New Year pictures, Cao's Hugging him and reluctant to let go, she kissed him or her from time to time, screaming dearly.

When the first lunar month came out, my mother would talk about the fact that so-and-so's family was going to visit the aunt, and she was excitedly preparing, which made the aunt both look forward to and nervous.
