After being forced to marry an ugly husband

Chapter 124 Wild Wolf

On the New Year's Eve dinner table, in addition to pigs, sheep, beef, and chicken, there were also crabs and shrimps. Qingyan also asked Qiu Henian to order a large pot of their famous seabass from the Southern Restaurant in the county.

I have only heard people say that this thing is extremely delicious. Such a pot is worth a lot of money. I would be reluctant to eat it on weekdays, but only eat it once during the Chinese New Year.

Near midnight, the sound of firecrackers outside made Jin Dou wake up from his sleep and started crying loudly.

Qingyan held him in her arms and coaxed him for a long time before he stopped crying, but he couldn't let him go anymore. As long as his back touched the bed, he would deflate, even if he was put in his favorite cradle.

There were many people in the house, so he looked at each one curiously. When his father took him over, he stared at his father's face.

Qiu Henian held the child in his arms and asked Qingyan to have a good meal. He said that if he didn't drink too much, he really didn't drink much tonight, and he didn't let Sanyao pour the wine when it was measured.

Sanyao was in the mood for drinking and tried to persuade him to drink. Seeing that he really didn't want to drink, he stopped trying and sat down to drink slowly by himself.

Now that the three Lao Wang families are together, unlike the previous generation, it is his second brother who makes the final decision on everything, just like the elders, and the third brother does not dare to make trouble with him like he did with his brothers.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone packed up, said auspicious words to each other, and then left.

Qing Yan and Qiu Henian did not rest. They put on Jin Dou in a thick cotton jacket and trousers, a tiger-head hat and tiger-head shoes. They also wrapped Jin Dou in two layers of blankets and covered her tightly. , only showing a small face.

The couple held the child and went outside to the river.

There were also people on the road in the latter half of the night, all of whom were families with children, either holding or holding their children as they went out.

The New Year tradition in Liuxi Village is to take the children to roll on the ice on the river after watching the New Year, and roll a few times on the ice to bring good health and safety for the next year.

The weather in the north is very cold in winter, and the river is not deep. It is really freezing at this time, so there is no need to worry about being unsafe.

On the thirtieth day of every year, the village chief will have people come over to clear the snow from the shallowest section of the river and expose the ice surface. The villagers do not need to notify them. They do this every year, one after another, naturally. knew.

When the couple arrived at the place, they saw clusters of oil lamps flickering on the river. There were already many children rolling on the ice, laughing while rolling. Some people were setting off fireworks, which lit up the sky from time to time. There is a faint smell of gunpowder in it.

Although the weather was very cold in the second half of the night, the lively scene seemed to make people forget about the cold.

The couple found an open space and put down the lantern. Qiu Henian put the golden beans in his arms on the ice. The child curiously kicked his legs in his swaddling clothes. His father's big hands supported his shoulders and back, protecting his little one. Face, let him roll around and around on the ice. Qingyan was beside him like other parents. As the child rolled, he muttered: "Get away from the bad ones, and come up from the good ones."
