When Jiujiu didn't know, the two children were attached to the North Pole.

They put all their previous lack of love for their father on the north.

For them, the North plays the role of father.

People don't like activities in winter, so it's basically the same for the next time.

Jiujiu went to the vegetable market every three days to buy the food she needed for the next three days. Except for going to the embroidery village once a month to sell embroidery, she stayed at home for the rest of the time to jelly.

In this way, it's the twelfth lunar month.

As soon as entering the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere is full of new year.

Every family began to prepare for the new year.

Jiujiu's first new year in the county is also the first new year for Jiujiu and her two children. Naturally, I'll make good preparations.

Beibei's parents had already died, and the remaining relatives had long been cut off. He was alone. Naturally, he spent the new year with Jiujiu and two children.

Because it is the first time to celebrate the new year with two children, Jiujiu has prepared a lot of things.

And because they have money, they buy food as long as they like.

On Laba day, Jiujiu cooked a large pot of fragrant, soft and viscous Laba porridge.

Not only did the two children like to drink, but they even drank three bowls.

I've been staying at Jiujiu's house all this time.

I can eat three meals every morning, noon and evening. My dry and flat cheeks are gradually plump. My deformed cheeks are a little more delicate because of their plumpness.

And because I've had a happy time, I don't have to worry about my future life, and I have a bit of childishness in my eyes,

Looking north, Jiujiu couldn't help smiling happily.

Jiujiu likes eating and is good at making food.

Jiujiu was greedy for chicken feet and duck necks before, so she bought many chicken feet and duck necks during the new year, made a pot of brine, marinated a large pot of chicken feet and duck necks, and several big pig feet.

The two children were still young. Jiujiu was afraid that the small bones of chicken feet and duck neck stuck in her throat and didn't dare to give them food, but the pig's hoof didn't worry about it. Jiujiu cut some pig's hoof meat for the two children.

The two children had a mouth full of oil, but they abandoned their previous reserve and chewed happily with pig hooves.

Looking at the three happy people eating in the house, Jiujiu sat by the window and drank the peach blossom wine she had brewed before. Looking at the snowflakes flying out of the window and the beautiful red plum blossoms opening under the window, the corners of her mouth tilted up to reveal a faint smile.

Laba is followed by the new year.

The next days are basically spent preparing for the new year food.

Jiujiu doesn't have many relatives here. The only thing she knows is the boss of xiuzhuang.

Jiujiu's embroidery works well, and the subject matter is even more novel. The boss of the embroidery village made a lot of money by relying on Jiujiu's embroidery. Therefore, on the new year's Eve, the boss of the embroidery village specially brought his wife to pay New Year's greetings to Jiujiu, and even specially wrapped red envelopes for Jiujiu's two children.

After Jiujiu asks Li Shoujie and Li Shu to thank her uncle, she keeps the boss of xiuzhuang to talk for a while, and then sends them away.

Not long after boss xiuzhuang left, he just came from the small door to the north to avoid suspicion.

It was already cold at home in the north, and I was used to the warmth of Jiujiu house. After the boss of xiuzhuang stayed for a while, my cheeks turned red with cold in the north.

Jiujiu hurriedly asked Xiangbei to enter the house. While letting him sit next to the heater, he went to get the red envelope he had prepared for Beibei and muttered, "it's said that I know boss xiuzhuang well. It's not a problem. You have to go back. Now it's OK. It's frozen."

For Jiujiu's mumbling, he smiled to the north and didn't care.

Reaching north, he took out two small red envelopes from his pocket, handed them to Li Shoujie and Li Shu respectively, smiled and said, "happy new year."

When Jiujiu came back, he saw Li Shoujie and Li Shu holding a red envelope and laughing to wish him a happy new year.

Jiujiu sighed, turned and stuffed two liang of silver into the red envelope to the north.

Seeing the red envelope handed over by Jiu Jiu, I was surprised to the north, and then I resisted.

"Elder sister, you are willing to help me regardless of past grievances. I am already very grateful. How can you spend so much money?"

"Since you call me sister, how can I not give my brother a red envelope? I have a lot of money, so you can take it."

He refused to go north for a long time, but he still couldn't refuse. He had to accept Jiujiu's red envelope.

On New Year's Eve, we should keep watch.

The two children were excited to play outside for a long time because of the day. Even if they had worked hard, they couldn't resist the constant drowsiness. After holding on for a while, they still fell asleep.

Jiujiu put the two children in bed, turned back to the living room, and followed them to the north to watch the new year.

Jiujiu eats his snacks and snacks, eats melon seeds and peanuts, and talks to the north to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Jiujiu smiled and asked, "I haven't asked you yet. Are there any other relatives in your family now?"

Jiujiu's question dimmed his eyes to the north.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "there are no other relatives at home."

Jiujiu was surprised, "is it gone?"

With a bitter smile to the north, "after my father and mother died one after another, the previous relatives and friends gradually broke off contact."

North said very implicitly, but Jiujiu could hear the bitter taste inside.

If you can have a house here, your family will not have special difficulties. It can even be said that your family is in a good situation. Being able to be the top student in north high school is absolutely inseparable from the cultivation of your parents.

I think his parents must be capable people before they die. Their family is rich, so relatives and friends compete to make friends with him first.

But their parents died one after another and had no source of livelihood. When those unprofitable relatives and friends saw that there was only one left in their family who didn't make money and spent money, they were afraid of being entangled in the north. Naturally, they cut off contact with their family one after another.

Human nature is understandable.

However, if it really happens to yourself, it will inevitably make people feel a little cold.

Looking at the bitterness on her face, Jiujiu pushed the wine pot in her hand and said with a smile, "all the bustling is for profit. If such relatives and friends are gone, they will be gone. In the future, my two children and I will be your relatives."

The hand that poured the wine to the North trembled, and the eyes warmed up again.

Their relatives and friends avoid themselves like snakes and scorpions. On the contrary, Jiujiu, a stranger, is so good to himself.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Years later, spring comes.

With the warm spring breeze blowing, the bare courtyard, which was originally covered by heavy snow, has sent out green leaves.

Jiujiu doesn't have to worry that the child will get sick because of the cold, so she doesn't continue to detain the child and let them play in the yard.
