Chapter 305: Sacrificial Stove

Today is the first day of Li Qingyun and Yang Yunu's marriage, and it is also the sacrificial stove festival on the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Some are more direct, in the kitchen there is a statue of the king of the stove or hanging paintings, left and right pasted with "God says good things, return to the palace to descend auspicious" and other couplets, in order to seek peace and longevity, abundant food and clothing.

The things that are paid tribute are more casual, you can put steamed buns, you can put rice, you can also put stewed meat, but there is one thing, which every family will not forget - "sacrificial stove sugar".

The method of sacrificial sugar is very simple, after boiling with maltose, add white sesame seeds, cut into strips or pieces, and let it cool, then it can be eaten. The taste is mellow, crispy but not greasy, and when you chew too much, it will be a little sticky to your teeth. In some places, when the maltose is boiled, millet flour or bud rice flour will be added, and the sacrificial sugar made has a unique flavor.

According to local legends, the tribute to the king of the stove was to groom his mouth. When you go to heaven on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, don't talk nonsense with the Jade Emperor, stick your mouth with sacrificial sugar, and try to talk as little as possible.

Because of the folk saying, if the prince of the stove is sued, his life will be reduced by 100 days, and his life will be reduced by 300 days. In this life, how many 300 days are there, so every household attaches great importance to the sacrificial stove festival.

In the evening of the same day, before it was dark, some people began to set off cannons, and after the cannons were fired, they knelt at the door of the kitchen and kowtowed to the statue of the king of the stove. After some worship. Then go to the incense, silently recite some prayers and words of peace in your heart, and put the incense behind the incense burner, and you will break the sacrificial candy and scatter some in front of the idol.

Li Qingyun and Yang Yunu were busy, and after worshipping the Lord of the Stove in the old mansion, they went back to their new home in the villa with their daughter-in-law and did the ritual just now.

Whether it's true or not, this habit has been cultivated since childhood, and it will not be able to be changed for a while. And. He's been in the space since he's gotten the space. He is particularly concerned about supernatural things, and he will take them seriously regardless of whether there is a god in the world or not. No verbal abuse is given.

Guns are being fired in every house. The smell of sulfur permeates the space. Suddenly there was a New Year's atmosphere.

The sacrificial stove is also called Xiao Nian, which is the beginning of the Spring Festival. Of course, there are also places where the 24th day of the lunar month is the stove festival. "Official sacrifice three. Folk sacrifice four. "It means that the officials are over twenty-three, and the ordinary people are over twenty-four.

There is no clear rule on the specific day and place, so it is a habit that has been handed down, it used to be twenty-three, and this year it is still twenty-three.

At dinner, Li Qingyun and his parents ate together, because his sister did not go back to the city to the sacrificial stove, he wanted their family to come over, but the sister was not happy, saying that the married girl did not spend the New Year in her mother's house, and took Qinghe as her home, and the sacrificial stove there did not mention the matter of returning to the city at all, and the brother-in-law squeaked and wanted to go back to the city, and the words were not said yet, looking at Li Qinghe's expression, the next half of the sentence was not said.

Li Qinghe's grievances were too great, so he had already put aside the conversation, saying that if anyone returned to the city for the New Year this year, he would not come back. It seems that I have been bullied enough by my mother-in-law in the past few years, and this resistance is also very fierce and a bit unkind. However, Mao Mao is particularly supportive of her mother, because during the New Year in the countryside, there is food and drink, and there are a lot of firecrackers.

Li Qingyun doesn't care about this, this is my sister's family matter, they are all adults, what they want to do, they have to bear the consequences, the only thing he can stand up for his sister is that if he is bullied by his in-laws, he will definitely fight wherever he wants, this is the duty of being a younger brother.

When they went back in the evening, the two went to bed early. Because Yang Yunu was a wife for the first time, Li Qingyun did not move her, which made Yang Yunu breathe a sigh of relief, saying that if you are a beast tonight, I will kick you out of bed, and you must definitely learn the roar of the Hedong lion and no longer be a little sheep.

Li Qingyun, who didn't have that kind of thought, was about to fall asleep, turned over on the horse again, and cleaned up Yang Yunu fiercely.

At dawn, Yang Yunu actually got up earlier than Li Qingyun, and said angrily while putting on makeup: "It was almost better, but it hurt a little bit after you tossed it last night." I'm not going to sleep with you today, I'm going back to my parents' house. ”

Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment, but after taking a closer look, he found that Li Yunu was holding back a smile between his eyebrows. After thinking about it, it turned out that today was the second day after the wedding, and from the day of the wedding, it was the third day. When she returned to the door three days after marriage, Yang Yunu should have gone back to her parents' house, and what she said was to avoid herself. It's okay, just got married, that simple little girl has learned to deceive people, and she must be taught a lesson.

So she took off her lipstick and dragged her to the bed for a crazy meal, and directly Chen Xiuzhi called to urge them to go home for dinner, and the two of them were panting and dressing.

Today is the day when the new daughter-in-law returns to the door, she must get up early, prepare some things, and leave them on the usual, so Chen Xiuzhi doesn't bother to care what time they sleep until now.

Yang Yunu's sideburns were scattered, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were like silk, he glared at Li Qingyun, and complained dissatisfiedly: "I hate it to death, my hair that I finally coiled up was messed up by you again." I didn't know you were so crazy before, and I wouldn't have married you if I knew about it. ”

"It's too late to regret it. Hmph, little lady, let's continue when we come back tonight, and fight you for another three hundred rounds. Li Qingyun threatened viciously.

Yang Yunu couldn't match the man's naked hot gaze, put on his clothes and ran to the bathroom, and before closing the door, he shouted shyly: "My cousin is a big hooligan!"

"Hehe......" Li Qingyun smiled and acquiesced to this title, do you still need to be polite to your wife.

The two of them finished washing, dressed neatly, and were already on the third pole of the day. Back at the old house, just after a few bites of food, Yang Yunu's mobile phone rang, it was her brother calling, saying that he had arrived at the door of the villa, why did no one open the door when he rang the doorbell?

According to the local rules, when the bride returns to the door, she must let her father and brother pick her up. The father can come to pick it up, and the brother or brother can also come to pick it up. Then the husband and father-in-law of the bride prepare a bunch of gifts, and together with them, send them to the bride's maiden home.

Things have been prepared for a long time, and two large boxes have been prepared, and the person carrying the boxes has already been found, and is smoking and chatting at the gate. It's just that I didn't expect Yang Yunu's maiden brother to come so early, and neither of them had breakfast.

There was no way, Yang Yunu didn't eat it, and wanted to go back to the villa to open the door, and of course Li Qingyun also left. Li Chengwen and Chen Xiuzhi put together, let people carry the box, and went directly to the fork in the road and waited.

When Li Qingyun and his daughter-in-law walked into the farm, his brother-in-law Yang Yulong was squatting at the door smoking, so he came alone, wearing a slim-fitting suit, his hair was combed shiny, and he didn't know how much hairspray he had applied. Because he was in the tuyere, his slightly immature face was frozen red, and his clear nose was flowing to his mouth, and he didn't know it.

Yang Yulong has been pampered since he was a child, but he has not learned kung fu for a few days, his father-in-law is middle-aged and has a son, he is extremely pampered, and his two daughters have practiced real kung fu, but his son has not even learned all the basic skills.

"Sister, you're back, if you don't come back, I'll freeze to death. You don't stay in the villa early in the morning, you go to some old house to eat, you don't know how to enjoy it, it's really a life of suffering and sin. You and my brother-in-law bought this suit for me? Our mother said that this suit is too small to fit a thick sweater, so let you choose two more for me tomorrow. What kind of expression do you have, I just found out that you opened a company and made a lot of money, and you are just my younger brother, who will you give me money if you have money? Brother-in-law, do you say?"

Yes, all the good things are said to him, this kid is still the same as when he was a child, he is hard-mouthed, it can also be said that he is cheap-mouthed, and he still looks like he is not cleaned up.

Now everyone is a relative, but you can't mess around like when you were a child, Li Qingyun said with a smile: "Yulong, clothes are a trivial matter, but in winter, you don't wear a down jacket, can you wear a suit without being cold? Besides, this is a Korean-style slim suit, and it is rare to be able to put on a sweater." There is still time a year ago, your sister and I will take you to the county seat, and you can buy whatever you like. ”

Yang Yunu pursed his lips and said not very likely: "When did my sister lose your clothes, but how could anyone ask me for clothes in this link, did you take me home today, or did you come to ask for clothes?"

"Hey, isn't it scared, this yard is so delicately cleaned up. I thought it would be the same as others, just coat it with cement. How much does it cost to spend this yard alone? Yang Yulong was suddenly a little restrained, took the initiative to put out his cigarette, and then followed into the house.

After entering the house, the furnishings in the room are the same as the mansion in the TV series, whether it is furniture or lamps, they are very different from the buildings of rural people.

Yang Yunu sat in the corner of the sofa and drank a few sips of hot tea, then he relieved himself and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I really couldn't see it before, you also have a day of great wealth." Originally, I thought that my sister's small environmental protection company should not make much money, but now I don't think so. ”

Li Qingyun and Yang Yunu glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly, with Yang Yulong's temperament, after knowing that his sister was rich, he might not know how to show off in school. Private high schools, which are mixed, have a lot of rich people, and there are also children of the poor, and Yang Yulong is the kind of children from poor families, fortunately, he graduated from high school in half a year, and went to college, which should be better.

After drinking this cup of tea, they talked again, and Li Qingyun and Yang Yunu packed up their things and prepared to go back to Chenjiagou. Li Chengwen and a few men from the same door who carried the box were waiting for them at the intersection for a long time, and when they saw them coming, they greeted them and followed.

When she returns to the door, the bride cannot see the lights of her mother's house, which means that she must go back to her husband's house before dark. After returning to the door this time, what do you want to go back to your parents' house in the future, there are not so many rules, and this set of wedding rituals is completely over. The new daughter-in-law also became an ordinary woman and officially became the Li family. (To be continued......)
