Chapter 162 of the main text volume hemp sugar and happy events

Next chapter

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year is celebrated.

Early in the morning, Shen Zhe was assigned by his mother to buy hemp candy outside the community, but was stopped by Aunt Huang at the door, and the two families did it together.

The son-in-law hasn't done it yet, so the work that should be done should be done first.

These traditions of China are well preserved.

Two rows of mobile stalls, just about to choose one at random to buy two catties, listening to the stall owner shouting "sweet and non-sticky teeth", Shen Zhe turned his head and left.

Since it is a festival, it must be like a festival.

Eating hemp candy is sticky to your teeth, and you don't stick to your teeth.

This thing is to honor the grandfather of the god of the stove, the old man protects the family for 360 days, and this time he will take Chang'e No. 1 to the sky to report the evil deeds or good deeds of the whole family to the Jade Emperor. This is related to the good fortune and evil of the coming year, and the stakes are heavy, and it is not allowed to be careless. Therefore, every family attaches great importance to it, and they want to offer snacks and hemp candy for Grandpa Stove God to eat on the road, sticking to his mouth, so that he can't adjust his mouth and learn his tongue, so as not to say bad things in front of the Jade Emperor and Wenwu in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

Of course, Shen Zhe just had a playful mentality.

Do you still have the heart to verify whose incarnation the god of the stove is, Zhu Rong, who is in charge of fire? Is it male or female?

According to the saying in this area, the surname of the god of the stove is Zhang, the name is Zen, and the word is Guo.

Mr. Zi Guo is like a beauty, handsome and extraordinary, attracting bees and butterflies, first marrying the virtuous Guo as his wife, and then accepting the lazy Li as a concubine.

The things in the story, this must be a tragedy.

Sure enough, the Li family instigated him to divorce the Guo family, and the two squandered the family property, and then the Li family abandoned the family, and Mr. Guo became a beggar.

Hungry and cold, he finally fainted in front of the rich family, was taken to the kitchen by the maid, and saw the hostess after the full meal, which was his ex-wife Guo.

This time my face was beaten and it hurt.

In shame, he plunged into the stove and cut himself off, Guo was very sad when he saw this, and died soon after.

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he thanked Zhang Ziguo for daring to repent, and in the stove fire, he was named the god of the stove, and Guo was named the grandmother of the god of the stove.

The legends vary from place to place, and it is enough to justify them. The folk studies of the dean of Yan Courtyard also include the myths and legends, and another version of the origin of the Stove God was talked about in class.

It doesn't matter what version it is, it mainly shows that the Chinese mythological system is the richest in the world, and it can be well integrated with life.

So, the god of the stove is a good person for most of the year.

But once in a while, I do something bad.

For example, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, he changed from a protective god to a character who specially reported to the Jade Emperor, and he had to stick his mouth.

Once the bad things are learned by the Jade Emperor, the whole family will be blessed in the coming year.

Very practical.

One hundred yuan to buy three catties, the selling of hemp candy is too dark, the market determines the price, and it is doubled.

There was also a group of neighborhood children on the road, waiting in line on the side of the road, stretching out their hands when they saw people, and losing more than half a catty.

Shen Zhe was also urged by his mother to do this when he was a child.

When you go upstairs, divide it into two portions, put one more piece in your mouth, chew it twice, and your front teeth will be glued together immediately.

Lin Yuhan took it and looked at him with a smile.

Shen Zhe was speechless for the time being, and it was estimated that this was the reason why the folk sacrificed to the grandfather of the stove god.

There is no time for code words today, because Shen Zhe has to do a lot of things, in addition to his own family, he also has to consciously go to help with the heavy work of the Lin family.

The matter of the two young people was basically acquiesced by the two adults.

After thinking about going to college, the next thing must be the marriage of children, where to find such a well-informed candidate?

Shen Mingcheng and Lin Yuanzhi went to work, and Aunt Huang was at home on vacation.

Cleaning bedding, curtains, and other utensils...... These are things that need to be done by women; Move the sofa, move the wardrobe, go up the ladder, wipe the ceiling...... Anyway, the house has to be cleaned again, it's all a man's job.

The scientific explanation is that the family needs a thorough cleaning once a year, and the mythological explanation is that a week later, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family will entertain the gods for dinner.

Shen Zhe also had to do the hemp candy.

Because he is the only man in the family, the man does not worship the moon god Niangniang, and the woman does not worship the god of the stove.

Because Zhang Ziguo is a little white face, and he has done dirty things, he is afraid of seeing women.

It is said that the north offered the grandfather of the stove god and the grandmother of the stove god together, and Shen Zhe estimated that the grandfather of the stove god was like sitting on pins and needles.

When I asked my mother if this was the case, I was reprimanded: Look at your idleness!

Until Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, the grandfather of the stove god finished his work and led the gods to his home for hospitality.

The gods feasted, wiped their mouths and left, and the god of the stove continued to squat to protect the whole family.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Zhe finally fulfilled his duties as a part of the male members of the family, said hello, and went downstairs.

……

Sui Yan is busy getting married in the countryside

Yichun post teases spring

The sisters whispered in front of the lamp

This year is a cave house

As the immortals who reside in the Nether, the Jade Emperor held a court meeting, and the Vesta God and other immortals were sent to heaven to report their duties, and the world was in a state of godless supervision, so from twenty-three to Chinese New Year's Eve, there were no taboos.

Marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter-in-law does not need to choose a good day and an auspicious day, which is called "rushing to get married".

Zhang Fang, an older young man in seven buildings, after more than a year of busy blind date process, is finally going to have a happy event today.

Originally, it was good for the Shen family to make up a molecule, but there was an Uncle Li in the community.

This warm-hearted old man, he usually doesn't get bad when he has something, but it often adds a lot of trouble.

volunteered to be the chief wedding planner.

Because wedding companies or something are not common now, and it is not easy to contact too many people who get married today, and the old man has seen many happy events, it is appropriate to hand it over to him.

There must be a happy union for marriage, and a lot of them are needed in the community, in front of the new house, and even on the trees.

When discussing this matter, it stands to reason that it is enough to go to the wedding supplies store and buy it back, and Uncle Li will get out the moth again.

"What to buy? Can the bought Xilian be compared to what the Shen family boy wrote? ”

When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Lao Li's idea is good, the champion will do it himself, he will be happy, Zhang Fang is blessed!"

"It's just right, Xiao Zhe's calligraphy is very good."

"Hey, why didn't you think about it before, when my daughter was running errands last year, I should have asked Xiaozhe to come over to help, alas."

"At that time, I didn't get the top prize."

A bunch of old men and old ladies gossip, and the matter is decided.

So, early this morning, the door of the Shen family was banged again, and Shen Zhe hadn't gotten up yet.

Shen Mingcheng, who was about to go out to work, didn't say a word, so he took this job for his son, and his mother also liked it, saying that red things are like white things and accumulate virtue.

Downstairs to the scene, hundreds of people, it is estimated that the idlers of the entire community have come to join in the fun.

First hand over the happy money, the six or six Shun red envelopes prepared by the mother.

Wedding accountant Lao Huang glanced up and shouted: "It's Xiaozhe, you don't need to produce molecules in your family, just want your name!" ”

"Grandpa Huang, one yard is one yard, helping has nothing to do with congratulations." Shen Zhe said with a smile.

"This ......" Lao Huang hesitated.

Seeing it from a distance, the eldest lady of the Zhang family smiled as if she had eaten magpie, walked over quickly, and shouted, "Xiaozhe, are you on vacation?" ”

Shen Zhe said: "Congratulations, auntie." ”

"Xiao Zhe, we are here, those who contribute will not pay for it, and those who will contribute will wait for dinner, and your family members will take it back."

Shen Zhe scratched his head a little.

It's nothing to take back, it's just that since he earned money, his mother has been a lot more generous, and when he came, he specially explained that he wanted to give it.

"Boy, come here, it's almost ten o'clock, don't delay!"

Just as he was hesitating, an old man in his sixties over there shouted in a loud voice, and Shen Zhe threw away the red envelope, and he flashed away.

"This kid ......"

The eldest lady of the Zhang family smiled and turned her head to Lao Huang: "Remember, it won't take a few years for Xiao Zhe to get married, and then I'll talk about it." ”

At the very edge of the venue, a row of long tables covered with red cloth is the so-called wedding leadership team.

The main office workers can't casually ask for leave for happy events, so the people around are old, the young, and there are more women and fewer men.

"Let's start, it's all ready, Xilian wants to be fresh!" Uncle Li was very happy when he saw Shen Zhe coming.

Shen Zhe glanced at it, and the pen, ink, and red paper on the long table were all placed.

Don't say a word at the moment, promise to say "OK", pick up the brush and do it.

"Fresh? Are there so many words? ”

The person who spoke was an old man surnamed Jiang, who was also a resident of Building 7, and he was quite skeptical.

Uncle Li glanced at him, snorted, and said, "Old Jiang, do you think Zhuangyuan Gong is a vegetarian?" It's no problem to write a wedding couplet to the emperor's daughter! ”

", how do you know, you founded the country early when you were breastfeeding, and you have seen the emperor's daughter?"

"That's what is said in the play and in the storytelling!"

Shen Zhe complained in his heart, this matter is also capable of the ancient champion, and it is estimated that there are few people who can do the college entrance examination champion, fortunately, the braincase is in stock, otherwise he will be embarrassed.

When a few old men raised the bar, Shen Zhe had already completed a pair.

"The wild geese fly thousands of miles like wings, and the husband and wife are happy for a hundred years."

"Good!"

"Auspicious!"

"Extraordinary!"

Uncle Li said proudly: "How about it, my idea, okay?" ”

Everyone was speechless, and one said: "Lao Li, this has nothing to do with you, right?" It was written by Xiao Zhe well. ”

Uncle Li said disappreciably: "If I don't say it, can you think of him?" ”

"Even if you want to praise it, you can't praise it, old fellow!"

According to Uncle Li's arrangement, the wedding car will arrive at noon, and the neighbors of Hexi are chatting.

"Grandpa Li, how many pairs do you need?"

Uncle Li thought for a while and said, "Not much, more than thirty pairs are about the same." ”

“…… OK"

Shen Zhe thought for a while, and had a score in his heart, dipped it in ink, and wrote it down in a while.

There was a young man next to him who was watching the excitement, and he neatly lined up the cut red paper on the long table.

Soft pen calligraphy is different from hard pen calligraphy, and calligraphers pay attention to the creation of one go and hearty. The drunk seems to be better, and the wild grass is known as "the mad monk is not for the wine, and the crazy pen is from the sky", and the careful pursuit of perfection can not write good words.

Of course, Shen Zhe is not a calligrapher, but he has been copying Gu Ti for more than ten years, and it is more than enough to fool these neighbors.

In the blink of an eye, there are more than 20 pairs of happy couplets.

The lotus red lotus blooms and the pedicle flowers, and the morning sun and the colorful phoenix welcome the door; Horizontal criticism: Happy marriage

Marry a talented man and marry a lady daughter

British men and beautiful women are in pairs, and their demeanor is beautiful

The good period is the festival, I like to see the beautiful children and women in front of the steps, and the spring court opens the spring feast and respects the spring people

The sea is dry and rotten, and the earth is wide and the sky is higher than the wings

"Good!"

"It is estimated that it is also the champion of the ancient times, which is amazing!"

Shen Zhe wrote a copy, and suddenly there was a burst of applause, which attracted the groom.

"Ah Zhe, it's too numb, isn't it?"

The groom smiled wryly.

A group of boys during the holiday coaxed one after another: "Brother Fang, it's just meat and numbness!" ”

There is also a big girl: "Brother Azhe, there is still a pair at the door of the new house, and there will be a more fleshy one!" ”

Groom: "I can't seem to do anything when I get married?" ”

Shen Zhe smiled: "Brother Fang, do you want to make your own decisions when you get married?" What are you thinking, just kidding! ”

"Haha!"

The groom punched a fist on Shen Zhe's shoulder: "Nonsense, when it's your turn, you'll know what it's like." ”

"Okay, brother, you just wait for the cave room."

Shen Zhe took a pen and wrote a new house couplet:

Love is like a wine glass and drunk, and life is like sugar and sweet

Horizontal batch: Xiang Gong Niangzi

This one was more fleshy, and there was even more laughter all around.

After writing the couplet, the wedding team led by Uncle Li was very satisfied, and a group of boys helped to paste it all over the nearby places.

Shen Zhe was infected by the atmosphere, and he was inexplicably happy.

……

This is a mature community that has lived together for more than ten years, and if it is a new residential building, it is difficult to have such a scene, and it is not uncommon for people not to know each other.

As urbanization accelerates, so does the indifference of neighborhoods.

No wonder once on the phone, Shen Zhe proposed the idea of buying a new house, but his parents rejected it, and only agreed to decorate it once every two years.

"It just so happens that there is a lot of red paper left, boy, it's the same if Xilian can write Spring Festival couplets, it's better than buying!"

Shen Zhe was about to leave when he was grabbed by Uncle Li.

"Grandpa Li, do you still want me to write Spring Festival couplets?" Shen Zhe asked, in previous years, he wrote it at home, and the two parents didn't know about it for a long time, and thought they bought it from outside.

"You won't?"

"Oh, yes, it's the Year of the Horse, right?"

Lao Jiang next to him also squeezed over and said: "Lao Li can really make a bargain, it just so happens that my family didn't buy it, Xiao Zhe, a piece!" ”

A few more people came over in a blink of an eye, so let's continue writing, it's not a difficult thing anyway.

"The cow is like the tiger of the South Mountain, and the horse is like the dragon of the North Sea", "The grand plan of a thousand miles is a thousand miles of horses, and the year is splendid and the spring is a year"...... There are more than 20 pairs of spring couplets on the brush.

Aunt Huang snorted: "A few days ago, I bought three paintings for more than a dozen yuan, and selling pairs was too profitable!" ”

"Do you want it?" Shen Zhe asked.

Aunt Huang said helplessly: "Dou Baby's hands are fast, I will post it in the morning, forget it, next year." ”

Lao Jiang: "Well, I saw it, and it didn't quite fit the occasion." ”

Uncle Li was dissatisfied: "You old Jiang, why don't you be in the scene, I think it's good to say sad things during the New Year!" ”

"This Year of the Horse, don't you bring the word horse to the occasion?"

Shen Zhe completed his task, and was thinking about whether to go home or wait in place, when Lin Yuhan behind him shouted: "Ah Zhe! ”

"Yuhan, you're early, and the banquet hasn't come yet."

Lin Yuhan was speechless and said: "I dare to love you for the wine banquet, I came to see the bride!" ”

"Sooner or later, do it yourself, what's so beautiful."

After saying a few words, Lin Yuhan was pulled away by several big girls, and she was more popular than Shen Zhe. Although he was a cut above others in his studies, he was not as strong as Shen Zhe's aura, and basically no one of his peers dared to joke with him.

At noon, a large group of people drove into the community accompanied by the wedding car.

The wedding ceremony took another hour, and the people in the whole community were watching the excitement, and Shen Zhe tiptoed to see that the bride's makeup was very thick.

The banquet was held in a restaurant not far from the community.

During the banquet, after the bride and groom toasted away, Lin Yuhan asked Shen Zhe in a low voice: "Is the bride good-looking?" ”

Shen Zhe said: "All women are the best looking at the wedding. ”

……

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Shen Zhe came to the magazine office and muttered with Zhongli in the editor-in-chief's office for a long time.

The next day, "Oriental" was suspended for two issues, and all the editors had a holiday for the New Year, and Shen Zhe strongly agreed, being rich is capricious.

Distribute red envelopes to employees, say happy new year to each other, and go home.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, I closed the door and watched the Ocean TV HTV Spring Festival Gala, and I couldn't fall asleep.

Because the sound of firecrackers downstairs came and went.

In the past few years, many experts have tried to influence the city government to issue a ban on fireworks and firecrackers on the grounds of polluting the environment and causing accidents.

It's a pity that it was sprayed into a sieve by the citizens.

Firecrackers are not allowed during the New Year, so what is it called?

Private cars also pollute the environment, why don't you take the bus? Drinking water can also cause accidents, and you will die of thirst!

There is always a reason to oppose it.

The Zhonghai Municipal Government also wants to ban it, so that it can cause less trouble to itself, but unfortunately public opinion is the biggest trouble now. In the end, only one city was issued that the production of fireworks was not allowed and the production of fireworks was prohibited in crowded places.

Chinese people are subtle and not good at singing and dancing, and it is too boring to have such a big festival without even the sound of firecrackers.

2001 passed.

Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan are twenty years old. (To be continued.) )
