Chapter 450: The Lord of the Stove (II)
Bian Ruilai did this, and he didn't need the old man to say anything, he took out the strips and began to weave them.
It took about three minutes for a simple pony frame to be born in Bian Rui's hand, although it was not as good as his father's weaving, but after pasting paper, it should be a handsome pony.
"How can this paper be pasted? Xiao Rui, why don't you make the whole set, so that your father-in-law won't have much hair left on the top of his head," Bian Rui's mother-in-law quipped.
Bian Rui smiled and asked, "Do you have any paper at home?"
"Yes, I bought one at home"
With that, the old lady turned around and took the paper out.
Bian Rui glanced at it, then cut the paper neatly, and then wrapped the paper on the bamboo shelf, without using paste, Bian Rui directly used the double-sided tape placed on the table at home to glue the key to the ground, so that a small red horse is ready.
Bian Rui does it here, and the old man learns it there, but this thing is taught on the spot, and it is just a matter of seeing, and if you really let it go and want to do it well, that's another matter.
"You're not doing the right thing!"
Bian Rui was beside him for a while, and found that his father-in-law began to mess around again, so he immediately gave a prompt.
At this time, Old Man Wu appeared at the gate, still carrying a basket of things in his hand.
"Is Lao Yan at home?"
"Here, come in," the old lady immediately came to the door and stood still, smiling at the old man who had just entered the courtyard.
The old lady saw that the old man was still carrying a basket, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What is in this basket?"
Old Man Wu smiled: "Some food sent back by my children from abroad, I am about to go back to Mingzhu for the festival, and these things are kept for you to eat when you are in the New Year." It just so happens that Bian Rui, your kid is also here, stop when you pass by my house when you go back, bring your things, and help me send them to you in addition to your family."
Bian Rui looked back at Old Man Wu and found that the old man was smiling very happily today, so he asked, "Old man, are the children all back so happy?"
Old Man Wu nodded: "Well, I'm back for the New Year today!"
"Just look at your appearance, the children are all back, you haven't seen all those children for many years, right?" Old man Yan saw the old man smiling so happily, and he was also happy for him.
Old Man Wu smiled and hummed: "Yes, okay, I threw things here, I have to go back quickly, let's wait for a while to send the Lord of the Stove away, and the old woman and I will go back to Mingzhu." When it is Chinese New Year's Eve, you will help me welcome the Lord of the Stove back, and if I don't come back on the fifth day of the new year, you will help me welcome the God of Wealth ......."
"Don't you forget to get rich when you see your grandchildren?" Bian Rui made a joke about the old man.
Old Man Wu happily replied: "Just allow you young people to get rich, and we old people should be poor?"
"Where are you old, just the way you look now, if it weren't for the old aunt's tightness, maybe someone would be crying and shouting to talk to you," Bian Rui said.
Old Man Wu was a little out of action when he heard this: "You kid can't beat the sycophants well, do you say that about me?"
After speaking, Old Man Wu said to everyone: "Don't say it, I'll go back to prepare things soon, and I won't talk to you."
So under the eyes of everyone, the old man left the courtyard and went home like a child.
Seeing that the old man was far away, Bian Rui's mother-in-law returned to the house and said to her son-in-law and wife: "Lao Wu is also yes, there are many children, and there is no one who stays around, and I don't know what he thinks at the time.......
Old man Yan sighed when he heard this: "The children want to go out, but his old witch stops them?" I used to think that this foreign country is like a fairyland on earth, but now it is not a matter for everyone to go abroad, and gradually I understand that foreign countries also depend on ability, and there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world."
"I heard that the third child of their family is not having a good time abroad, and the old lady of their family seems to want the child to come back, but the child can't save face," Bian Rui's mother-in-law said.
Bian Rui was silent, and after listening to it here for a while, he understood most of the things, but understanding and understanding are no different from not understanding, this is someone's family matter, originally Bian Rui didn't need to listen, what can he do now when he hears it?
Just when Bian Rui was about to ask his parents-in-law if they wanted to eat together at noon. At this time, there was another person in the courtyard.
Originally, Bian Rui thought he knew, but who knew that Bian Rui didn't know the person who came at all. But according to the way he dresses, he should be from the nearby village.
Sure enough, it was a fishing friend from Bian Rui's father-in-law, this old gentleman was a little similar to Old Man Wu's family, except that Old Man Wu's children were all abroad, and his children were in big cities.
"Isn't this New Year?" Bian Rui's mother-in-law took a basket of things sent by someone who came, some eggs in it, and two or three wind chickens or something, although they are not valuable things, but they represent the hearts of others.
The old lady did not take it for nothing, and after taking out the contents of the basket, she put some things in for the family, some dried fruits, some preserved fruits and packaged snacks.
Waiting for this person to come out of the yard, Bian Rui asked curiously, "Mom, why do you still have so many snacks at home?"
As soon as Bian Rui looked at the outer packaging of the dim sum, he knew that these dim sum must not have been bought from the town market, but originally had a beautiful outer packaging, and nine times out of ten they were dismantled by the old lady, and then became pieces of dim sum, which looked like bulk dim sum.
The old lady replied: "It's not him, and the old man Wu jumped around to fish, and a few times they even went to other people's fish ponds to fish." People are embarrassed to accept money, and they know each other after coming and going, and the old man just now is from Wang Li Village, and he is considered a fish companion of the two of them."
Bian Rui smiled and said, "This is very good!"
The old man didn't know which one to sigh at this time: "Lao Li is also a poor man, he has helped his son up all his life, who knows that there is not even a person around him who usually has a headache and brain fever." I want to go to my son's house to see my grandson, my daughter-in-law thinks this and that, hey!"
Bian Rui has seen a lot of such things, some of them are children who are really unfilial, and some of them really don't have the energy to take care of the elderly, not to mention anything else, the children who really go to the city to work hard, just now the house price and salary ratio, how many are happy? The old man's son's house is not big, he will occupy the little grandson's room when he goes, the little grandson and his son and daughter-in-law squeeze into a bed, and from time to time the daughter-in-law's mother will also come to live in it, and if there are many people, they have to lay on the floor, so it is normal for the old man not to like to go.
"Dad, Mom, let's have dinner together at noon," Bian Rui said.
"Forget it, everyone doesn't pay attention to these things," Bian Rui's mother-in-law said.
The old lady understands that Bian Rui is definitely going to spend time with her parents today, and her own daughter is also married, not to find a door-to-door son-in-law, so the old lady feels that it is a little inappropriate for her daughter to go to her in-laws' house for dinner.
Bian Rui didn't understand this, and said directly: "You said it, everyone doesn't pay attention to this, then I will agree to it, it's just a meal, and I'll come to pick you up at noon."
The old man doesn't care: "Okay, the child said that he would go, and he was not an outsider, and everyone didn't pick on it."
After speaking, he said to Bian Rui: "You are busy with your going first, and when it is noon, we will go after sending the stove prince."
"Okay!"
Bian Rui responded.
After a few more words with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bian Rui went out with a little crooked strip that was made by the old man, and when he arrived at the small courtyard where Mo Sheng lived, Bian Rui found that not only Mo Sheng's family of three was there, but also Jinglu, the little girl.
"Such a coincidence?" Bian Rui said casually.
Jing Lu was a little embarrassed when he heard the smile on his face. It's just that this embarrassment is not because of Bian Rui, but because Mo Sheng's mother is now holding her hand, and then the left child is talking to Xiao Jing. Seeing Bian Rui coming into the house, he let go of Jing Lu's hand and stood up to pour tea for Bian Rui.
Bian Rui waved his hand when he saw it, signaling that he didn't need to.
Seeing the appearance of Jing Lu and Mo Sheng's mother, Bian Rui didn't think much about it, just thought that Jing Lu and Mo Sheng were senior sisters and brothers, and whether they were senior sisters or senior brothers and sisters, the two of them were older and younger Bian Rui, the master didn't make much trouble, let's just say that, the two didn't have anything particularly close in Bian Rui's opinion.
It is possible for Mo Sheng to like Jinglu, but a girl like Jinglu who has experience and has been in society will not like Mo Sheng, because don't look at this kid in his twenties, but Mo Sheng's temperament is like a child who has not grown up, how can Jinglu like it.
"I came over and asked, is the horse of the stove king at home ready...... Oh, it's all pasted, then when I didn't say this, you guys are busy, I'll go back," Bian Rui said.
Before he finished speaking, Bian Rui had already seen a horse with paper skin glued to the square table in the middle, so he knew that his worries were a little redundant.
"This, Master Bian, wait a minute!"
Mo Sheng's father stopped Bian Rui.
Seeing Bian Rui's puzzled face, Mo Sheng's father said: "Someone from the village said let's put out a show in the afternoon of the thirtieth, and the child's mother and I don't have any literary and artistic bags, even if we want to sing a song, we don't care, the fear of the New Year will be disgusting to others."
After listening to it, Bian Rui understood: "When the time comes, you two can dance with everyone, this is a nearby custom, when everyone wears a mask, puts on ancient costumes, and dances together in the drying field to make a fuss, to drive away a year's bad luck and ask for peace, it may be that the child who came to inform him did not explain it."
"What are you going to prepare?
"You don't need to twist your waist and butt when the time comes, as for the costumes or something, you don't have to worry about it, you really can't carry a red cloth strip on your shoulder or something, just make a fuss together, and you should run away from the square dance" Bian Rui said with a smile.
"That's good!" Mo Sheng's father breathed a sigh of relief.
Then there was nothing to do, Bian Rui went to the old man's house, brought the things to the fourth uncle, and then returned to his small courtyard.
When it was almost noon, Bian Rui used the stove, and then put the little red horse he had made on the stove, and sprinkled some hay along the stove, and the hay led from the stove to the yard.
After saying a few words to the Lord of the Stove, what God can't say bad things or something, after finishing speaking, he picked up the little red horse and the hay all the way, put it in the yard and lit a fire, and burned the red horse and the hay clean, even if it was to send the Lord of the Stove away.
