On the day of New Year's Eve, the men of the Zhou Family would go to the ancestral hall to worship and report to their ancestors. To announce the good news to our ancestors. Thus, on this morning, all the men of Zhou Family were not at home. Even newborns must go to the ancestral hall.

But women were not allowed to go. And the women had to busy themselves with the New Year's Eve dinner from morning to afternoon.

Among the children in the countryside, only in the first fifteen days of the year would there be a snack to eat, and there would be one or two copper coins in the small pockets. Also, for the sake of luck, people of their grandparents' generation would more or less give a new year's worth of money to their grandchildren for the sake of luck, which was good for them as well.

Early in the morning, Madam Liu gave Su Xinyu a silver hairpin as New Year's money. This shocked Su Xinyu. Seventh Grandmother, yours is too precious. "Little girl, you don't dare to accept me."

The Madam Liu laughed: What do you not dare to accept? This isn't for you to take out. I left it for you to use as a dowry in the future. "

Su Xinyu's heart was already filled with black lines. Her body could only be described as six years old after tonight. According to the age of one at thirteen or sixteen, she still had seven or eight years to talk about marriage. This dowry had been accumulated way too early. But she must have received Seventh Grandmother's good intentions. Fortunately she had something good to honor the Madam Liu. After giving Madam Liu a kowtow and accepting the silver hairpin, she immediately ran to her own room. She then placed the silver hairpin into the space. Then, she took out a scented sachet that was really ugly to look at and ran back into Madam Liu's room. Seventh Grandmother! This girl made it herself! I will help you dispel evil and avoid disasters, and may you live for a hundred years! "

Although this scented sachet was a little ugly at the stitches, the cloth was also the most common coarse cloth. However, what was placed within the space was actually the flower that grew up being watered by Spirit Spring, and also the dried flowers and some medicinal herbs that she had personally picked to dry in the space. The effect of wearing it was not as good as eating it. But it can uplift people's spirits and reduce disease. What she could do for Madam Liu and Madam Su was to occasionally add a few spirit items from the spatial space during her daily life. However, this was also very effective. At least, in this half year, her Madam Su and Madam Liu had not even sneezed, and his body became more and more healthy and healthy.

There was no need to open the sachet, Madam Liu could already smell the refreshing fragrance of the flowers as soon as she held it in her hand. Just look at the craftsmanship and thoughts of my little girl. She can't be compared to any other girl! Seventh Grandmother likes it very much! "

At this time, Madam Su was walking in carrying a fried rice ball. Seeing that Madam Liu was holding a scented sachet in her hand, her eyes immediately lit up. Seventh Aunt, did this girl do it? "

In front of an expert, Su Xinyu still felt a little guilty. Mother … "About this, I was just secretly making it look bad." After saying that, she took out another one from her bosom and handed it over to Madam Su.

Madam Su did not expect her to have one too. She quickly placed the pill on the table, wiped her hands with her apron, and then received the scented sachet. The smell of the smoke and oil in the kitchen was immediately covered by the fragrance of the flowers in the scented sachet, causing her to feel refreshed. Although the stitches were crooked, one could tell that the needle was very diligent. At the very least, the distance between the stitches was almost the same. This was to say that her precious daughter hadn't even learned Crimson, yet she was already able to sew so tightly together. If she learned from him in the future, she would definitely be a good hand.

In this world, it was extremely important for a girl to cook at all costs. In the future, he would be able to marry into a family. "And the only skill that a girl can use to earn money is this Lil 'Red." Not bad. Mother really likes it. "

Madam Liu also said, "That's right. Although it was a little crooked, she had yet to learn it. The stitches were even and meticulous, it didn't seem like they were stitched by a child who hadn't learned anything yet. I will show off to those people tomorrow. No matter how nice a girl from another family is, she is not as capable as me. "In two years, I will find a female teacher and teach her how to work in calligraphy and painting.

Su Xinyu was not opposed to this. If she wanted to live well here, she would need more skills. He had learned Zither in his previous life before. Even though her parents had urged her to join an interesting class or something when she was young, how could there be any cooking in a child's fun class? Thus, he chose the zither and calligraphy. Furthermore, in the calligraphy class, one would sometimes lecture on Chinese painting, so it wasn't that difficult to learn it. But when it came to chess, she was the one that was least proficient at it. Even though she knew how to play Go from a young age, since her grandfather and father knew how to play Go. However, after thinking about it so much, she decided that she might as well cook a plate of tofu to enjoy herself. As such, even though she was proficient in the art of zither and painting, she wasn't proficient in them.

"Seventh Grandmother. Would learning those be expensive? " Right now, Su Xinyu was only worried about money. In fact, there were a lot of good things in her spatial storage. Forget about the Su Family Ancestor's collection, just the gold, silver, and jewelry, just the precious herbs in the warehouse would be worth a fortune if she took one out. But she couldn't take it out at all. Before she left the Zhou Family, nothing could fall into her hands. How could she openly save money under this kind of identity and environment, at least to make Madam Liu and Madam Su think that it was normal, this had always been a big problem. After all, it was very rare to be hit by something like the day before yesterday. Furthermore, she didn't want to be hit all the time …

Madam Liu did not think much of it. She had the chastity memorial archway, and because she had no children, the government gave her a sum of money every year to spend her days. Occasionally, the daughter of a rich family would also invite her over when she was married. Although she couldn't be a wedding nanny, she would still give advice about marriage to the newlyweds. Those families would also give a lot of invitations. Even if the Madam Liu did not do this very often, she did not lack money after adding on her output from the land and the money the clan gave her every year. "Now that she has a little girl, she is willing to spend all of this money on her." I don't need you to worry about that, little girl. Your Seventh Grandmother does not lack money, so it would not take much to hire a female teacher. As long as you learn quickly and learn her skills early, Seventh Grandmother will be able to save money. "

Your method of settling debts is really different from others. Su Xinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but she didn't say anything else. After all, she was only a four or five-year-old girl right now. No matter how precocious she was, she couldn't be that watertight.

Madam Su did not say much about this either. She really wanted her daughter to be more outstanding. This way, his daughter wouldn't be bullied like this when she marries in the future. Moreover, she was still thinking in her heart. Her husband was now a High Scholar. Even though he had not passed the Imperial examinations, it should not be a problem for him to become a High Scholar in three years' time. At that time, she would become a Grand Scholar and then be given an official position. She would be the daughter of an official, and would at least marry into an official family and become a wife. Since that was the case, he had to learn how to cook the zither, chess, painting, Lil 'Red, all of these had to be learned early. Although she was slightly ashamed and had been using Seventh Aunt's money, since the day before yesterday, she had bought the embroidery thread and the silk handkerchief. It would never be as headless as it used to be.

After finishing all the work in the morning, Madam Su took Su Xinyu back to Zhou Tian's house to help. Besides, they must be served at the New Year's Eve meal. After all, they were members of Zhou Tian's family, and could stay at the Madam Liu for the rest of the time. This is unlucky.

As soon as he stepped into Zhou Tian's courtyard, his entire body naturally tensed up. In the basket on his arm, there was a five catty piece of pork and a bag of lard crackers personally made by Madam Su.

Just as she was bringing the little girl in, Madam Wang came out from the kitchen. When she saw the mother and daughter pair from Madam Su, Madam Wang was immediately furious. As it so happened that her father-in-law was not present, she was the only one in the house who did not like this mother and daughter pair. Madam Wang did not feel any burden and said a few words: "Ouch!" Isn't she the daughter and granddaughter of Seventh Aunt's son? "Why did you come to our house on New Year's Eve?"

"Madam Su frowned slightly. She knew what kind of virtue and character the Madam Wang possessed, so she didn't feel the need to make things difficult for herself at all." Sister-in-law, this is meat and dessert. What else was there to do at home? I'll be fine. You can go rest. "

Hearing that there was meat and pastries in the basket, Madam Wang almost drooled. Because of the loss of so much money, their family had not eaten meat for quite some time. Even today was New Year's Eve, and only lard was put into the dumplings. So when she heard the meat, she forgot to be angry and went up to take the basket.

He lifted up the red cloth and saw that there was quite a bit of meat inside. Five catties of streaky pork, how much thinner is it, just the raw can make people look like they're out of water. Perhaps, he could cut a piece of the meat and give it to his family. There were also the side snacks. Although they were wrapped in oilcloth, the rich fragrance of oil, noodles, and sweet fragrance wafted out from the cracks. It was obvious that it was filled with brown sugar. To them, this was a luxury.

Although he had the good stuff in his hands, Madam Wang was angry. He had indeed climbed to a higher position. Were they living the life of a deity? This is pork and sweet oil cake. "

Su Xinyu was extremely annoyed. In the beginning, she had thought that it would be a new year and would be able to bear it. But this Madam Wang still hasn't finished talking about it even though she had obtained the goods, so Su Xinyu didn't want to endure it any longer. When Madam Wang snatched the basket over and saw the meat, she noticed that this woman's eyes rolled a little. Although she lived in Madam Liu and did not interact with them, there were still people visiting them every day. From these women's mouths, she could often hear some stories about the Madam Wang. For example, there had been more than one or two times when she had taken things from his parents' home to his parents' home.

Thinking about that, Su Xinyu did not speak any further with Madam Wang, and immediately let go of her mother's hands, snatched the oiled paper bag from the basket, then ran over to the house. Grandmother! The girl has come back to see you! This is a lard and brown sugar biscuit that mother personally made for you and grandfather. Mother even brought five catties of streaky pork! "

After hearing the girl yell this, he even 'robbed' the snacks away. Madam Wang knew that her little mind was completely out of ideas and was immediately enraged. "Granny must have heard it by now. She can't be angry yet, or else she definitely won't be able to bear the consequences." Slow down little girl, who would covet your cake! "
