Chapter Seventy-Nine: Happy Laba
Laba Festival is as important as the Spring Festival for rural people. On this day, www.biquge.info the women often can't sleep lazily, and they have to get up in the middle of the night to boil eight porridge to prepare the men to sacrifice to the god of agriculture.
Han's mother led Luo Qi Nianyin and began to work on the stove at a moment. Killing chickens and sheep is in full swing.
Father Han and the others also got up early, and as soon as the time came, they lit a cannon at the door, and then lit incense, inserted one at the door of each room, two on the stove, and the rest were all inserted in the incense burner.
Han Xuan carried the offering table out, and Han's father set up the dishes and poured wine, sacrificing to heaven and earth. When the incense burned out and the dishes were cold, Father Han removed the offering table, re-prepared a new table of offerings, and put them in a basket and took them to Shennong Temple to worship the temple.
The first god Shennong, the god of Si Si Houji, the god of agriculture and the god of Tianguan, the god of the postal table, the person who opened the road, the person who drew the boundary, the god of cats and tigers, the god of Fang, the god of Shuiyong, the god of insects, etc., each offered rich offerings, none of which were missing, and they were pious. Pray for good weather and abundant crops in the coming year.
There are people who believe in Buddhism in the village, and on this day, in addition to sacrificing to the god of agriculture, they also have to worship the Buddha, because Laba is also the day of Shakyamuni's enlightenment.
"Luo Erya, my grandmother asked me to bring you laba porridge. "The village chief's family is the first to deliver Laba porridge every year. Luo Qinian responded, took an empty bowl and took the laba porridge sent by Luo Caiyue, and went back to her house to boil it at the same time.
"It's so fragrant, your Laba porridge is full of ingredients, and it looks delicious just by looking at it. ”
"Hehe, your family is not bad, my stomach is rumbling when I smell it. ”
"That is, my grandmother is a good hand at making laba porridge, and everyone who has eaten it praises her. ”
The two blew each other and continued to work.
Zhang Xiaofeng and Han Jie in the third room have worked together in the division of labor, and they have also returned from the temple, but Han Yu in the second room is still busy working on the stove.
Smelling wrong, Luo Qinian walked over and lifted the lid of the pot: "Second brother, didn't your beans and chestnuts bubble up the night in advance?"
"Ahh ”
"Don't stay up, I have a lot of money in my family, you can take it to the temple, it's not good to be late." ”
"Hehe, thank you, sister-in-law. ”
"You're welcome. ”
seems to feel the cheerful atmosphere of the festival, and the little black and white are also noisy. Luo Qinian and Zhang Xiaofeng carried a small basket to deliver laba porridge one by one, and also brought back full blessings.
Hua Ziliang stretched his waist and took a deep breath of the cold air with the smell of gunsmoke, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with a relaxed and happy smile.
"Morning, Uncle Hua!"
The corners of Hua Ziliang's mouth twitched, and the words 'Uncle Hua' always felt awkward when they came out of this little woman's mouth.
He shook his head and twisted his shoulders: "Morning, Han Xuan's family." ”
Hua Ziliang's honor was miserable, Zhang Xiaofeng was incompetent in adaptation, vaguely mixed up, and Zhang Luo set the table for breakfast with Luo Qinian.
Bean Sprouts shook her head: "You are disgusted again." ”
"If you don't suffer from others, you don't know yourself, and you don't know if you don't suffer. ”
Bean Sprouts frowned, every time Mr. couldn't speak, he would say something he didn't understand, bullying him for asking bad questions in elementary school.
At this time, Xiao Hei ran over and ran circles around Hua Ziliang's feet, wanting him to play with him. Bean Sprouts likes Xiao Hei very much and reaches out to catch it. But Xiao Hei didn't like bean sprouts, so he turned a blind eye to his outstretched hand, and pestered Hua Ziliang vigorously.
After breakfast, Hua Ziliang basked in the sun on the deck chair. The winter sun is not warm, but he is very comfortable. Father Han noticed that the bad quail had an appetite for him, and deliberately cut a large plate for him to knock his teeth.
He ate with pleasure, a large circle of beard on his face swirling as his teeth moved.
Luo Qinian was naughty and drew him eating on the ground with a branch.
Suddenly, I saw Bean Sprouts chasing Xiao Hei to play, his smooth little head reflected in the sunlight, and a mouse ran and jumped with him behind his head. She added bean sprouts to the painting.
After finishing the painting, I realized that it was rude, and hurriedly reached out to erase it.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Hua Ziliang stroked his palms and sighed: "Ugly to the extreme is beautiful to the extreme, I finally met it today." ”
"Han Xuan's family's skillful hand is admired by the old man. ”
Luo Qinian teased: "Call you old, what is the name of the woman in the village?"
Hua Ziliang was stunned, and Orr looked up to the sky and laughed: "The little woman is more ingenious!"
His light brown eyes glowed with brown brilliance, making his depressed and ignorant face glow with the aura exclusive to the giants of the literary world.
"Are you Guigeng?"
"Guess. "Hua Ziliang is rare to promote narrowness.
"Hmm-" Luo Qinian glanced at his old face, and carefully recalled his young voice, and carefully stretched out four fingers.
Hua Ziliang glared, and she quietly retracted a finger. Hua Ziliang's face looked a little better, but unexpectedly, her words instantly knocked him to hell: "You have to take good care of it." ”
"The young master is only twenty-three!"
"Oh!"
Hua Ziliang admired Luo Qinian's surprised appearance: "The young master is young!"
Luo Qinian shook his head, extremely regretful: "It's a pity that in the good years, which girl dares to marry you." ”
"You!" was trampled on a sore foot again, and his old and dignified image was trampled on. Scratching his head, he had a flash of inspiration and found the point that hit her: "Covered in copper stench." ”
Luo Qinian was stunned, but Hua Ziliang went back to Han Xian's house and got a pen and paper: "A good painting is still proper on paper." ”
Luo Qinian was speechless and turned away silently.
Han Xiu wore Han's mother's black and gray patched cotton jacket and walked in with a basket: "Dad, mother, I'm bringing you laba porridge." ”
"I'm coming. Han's mother happily welcomed Han Xiu into the house: "It's cold, how can you run around, you still have a baby in your stomach." ”
"There's no way, the sleeping sister-in-law sent Laba porridge to the whole village, but my Li family was left behind. ”
When Han's mother heard this, she was about to go to Luo Qinian to settle accounts.
Han's father scolded: "The custom is that the married girl sends Laba porridge back to her parents' house." If you don't send it for a long time, you will pick your sister-in-law's stubble?"
Han Xiu shrugged his shoulders and didn't care about Han's father's scolding: "Mother, I delivered the porridge, you hurry up and find me a return gift." ”
Han's mother was embarrassed, the guests at home were still there, she couldn't let Han's father lose face, so she didn't follow Han Xiu, and only filled her with a bowl of home-cooked laba porridge. Han Xiu pursed his lips, very dissatisfied. Han's mother is also a little angry, the Laba Festival is not as usual, offending the god of agriculture will suffer next year.
"There are not a few rice dregs of Laba porridge you bringed, I will return to your material enough, you should hurry home." ”
"The padded jacket has to be saved, and I won't give you much if it is robbed again. ”
"Mother, those clothes were given by me voluntarily, not robbed. Where did my mother hear the nonsense that ruined my Li family's reputation?"
Han's mother looked at her distorted face, and at some point, her daughter changed. Probably, the boss is right, right?
"Go back. ”
Han Mu waved her hand wiltedly. The night before, Han Xuan didn't give Han Xiu wild boar, Han's mother cried and complained all night, and scolded Luo Qinian. Han Xuan couldn't listen to the theory with her, and told her about the Li family, but she didn't want to believe it. Now that I think about it, what the boss said, probably right?
