076 Ancestor Worship (1)
The strange atmosphere was scurrying in the room, Yuan Niang stared, and with one hand she was still pulling Eleven Niang to do enlightenment, and for a moment, she almost jumped up from the stool, and pointed at the young man on the bed with her white fingers, "He, what did he say?!" ”
Shi Niang Teng stood up, his face was strange, he grinned, and pulled out an exaggerated smile, "He said Shi Niang, I want to drink water!" He wants to drink water! ”
Yuan Niang suddenly turned her head to look at Eleven Niang, frowning, "I obviously heard ......" What did the kid say...... Like Eleven Niang, right?
Eleven Niang smiled, "Eldest sister, you have two lives in one body, don't think about yourself, and you can't forget my lovely little nephew!" It doesn't matter if you scare me, what can I do if you scare my precious little nephew? I think you'd better go back to the house and sleep for a while, and I'll take care of it myself. ”
With that, he shook her hand and pushed her out the door.
Yuan Niang's intuition was wrong, "Oh, Eleven Niang, men and women don't kiss ......"
"Eldest sister, my life was saved by Xue Ye and Aunt Gu, and Aunt Gu should be sad when Aunt Gu hears your words." Eleven Niang smiled.
Yuan Niang hurriedly stopped, "I'll stay with you." ”
"Eldest sister, I want to go back to Jiuli Pavilion tomorrow to worship my ancestors, if you don't have a good face, my mother will be suspicious at that time......" There was a faint voice in the house, and Eleven Niang no longer hesitated, and took Yuan Niang's stomach to make a fuss.
Yuan Niang's face really changed, her hands were on her abdomen, her brows were frowning and she looked at the house, and she was embarrassed for a while, "This ......"
"Eighth girl, I'm here!" In the courtyard, a woman's loud cry suddenly sounded, and in the hall, Banniang's voice sounded, "Qiu'er, here, here!" ”
Then, the sound of the woman running away echoed in the courtyard, and the sound of Banniang and Hu Qiu'er laughing followed, "Oh, you've put on your new clothes!" ”
"yes, when will you wear it if you don't wear it now? My eldest brother said, the new year, the new atmosphere, a new clothes for the New Year, a new start over! Hu Qiu'er said with a big grin.
Banniang muttered something, and the two didn't hear it clearly, but Hu Qiu'er then exclaimed, "Your clothes are so beautiful, the style is beautiful, and the embroidered flowers are also beautiful, your eldest sister's hands are really skillful!" ”
"That is, my eldest sister, second sister, and third sister are all skillful! All the clothes they make look good! Banniang's pride swelled, and she praised her sisters for not being stingy, and she was proud and proud in her voice.
Hu Qiu'er was very envious, "It's good that you have so many capable sisters." ”
Banniang snorted proudly.
The chuckle of Erniang and Sanniang sounded in the house, the sound of Luo beckoning Hu Qiu'er to eat melons and fruits, the sound of Xiao Twelve jumping on the kang, and the sound of Ba Niang preaching Xiao Twelve, a lively scene.
Yuan Niang shook her head gently, "This Ba Niang ......" eyes were full of smiles.
Eleven Niang's eyes are also smiling, her sisters are modest and courteous, gentle and kind, and have good looks, except that their backgrounds are not as good as those nobles and families, and they are no worse than them!
The liveliness of the hall contrasts with the quietness of the study, the sound of gurgling in the house reaches the door, only the buzzing sound like mosquitoes remains, Yuan Niang saw the insistence of Eleven Niang, and sighed softly in her heart, it is really a big woman, "I'll go to the hall to say hello, you wait for Xiao Ye to fall asleep and go over." ”
"Oh, I'll save it, the eldest sister will hurry back to the house to rest after saying a few words." Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, if she knew that Yuan Niang had read such a sentence in her heart, she might be helpless.
Seeing Yuan Niang walk into the hall, Eleven Niang turned around and entered the house, closed the door, and walked back to the bedside.
Xue Ye on the bed was already asleep, pouting, with a shallow smile hooked on his thin red lips, Eleven Niang lowered her eyes, looking at the handsome face of the young man, her long eyelashes hung quietly, and she looked like a simple child when she was asleep.
Eleven Niang shook her head and chuckled, her white fingers on his smooth forehead, "Little fart, how old are you to understand love......"
The words were interrupted for a moment, her eyes looked at the young man on the bed, but her eyes didn't know where to drift, and her voice was clear and ethereal, "The love I want is not something that you people here can give, keep your heart well, and when you grow up, find someone you love, love you, and live a plain little life......"
"I, I want to find a city that no one knows, find an ordinary man to fall in love, get married, have a child, live an ordinary life, and live the rest of my life in a stable and trivial way......" The words of her friend seemed to echo in her ears, and Eleven Niang sighed lightly and came back to her senses.
Pulled the quilt to help Xue Ye cover it, and brought the teapot and cup and put them on the cabinet at the head of the bed, then turned around and walked out of the house, closed the door and went to the main house.
The boy on the bed rolled over, his long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly.
In the hall, Hu Qiuer instigated everyone to play leaf cards, and Eleven Niang drove Yuan Niang back to the house to rest.
Eleven Niang won a few times in a row, Eight Niang did not rely on tricks, Xiao Twelve smiled and grinned and drew cards randomly, the room was lively and coaxing, and it was warm and warm in people's hearts.
Xia Chenghe grinned and sat next to Roche looking at the cards, and sighed from time to time, "It's good to come out of this just now, but now I'm going to lose......"
Said that Roche was frightened, and the cards did not dare to play, and in the end, he really lost.
"You come to fight, I'll see if you lose......" Luo Shi glared at Xia Chenghe angrily, Xia Chenghe smiled, "My wine hasn't woken up yet, you fight, you fight ......"
Banniang lost the card, sat next to Eleven Niang to be an undercover agent, and saw that Eleven Niang took a bad hand of cards and happily squeezed her eyebrows at Hu Qiuer, but when she beat it down, Eleven Niang still won.
Banniang couldn't believe it, "Eleven Niang, you are cheating!" ”
Eleven Niang spread her hands, "Eighth sister, you watched me play cards." ”
Banniang scratched her head and couldn't speak.
Hu Qiu'er looked at Eleven Niang in a daze, "How is it possible?" How can you win again with that bad hand......"
Eleven Niang smiled slyly, "The most important thing is not that the cards are good or bad, but that you can use the cards in your hand to win what you want." ”
say
Yes. ”
As he spoke, he took the last few copper coins in front of Hu Qiu'er to his side.
Banniang shouted on the side, "Oops, it's all lost, come back again......"
Hu Qiu'er frowned slightly, seeing that Eleven Niang was bargaining with Banniang with a smile, Ying Ying felt that what Eleven Niang said was very good, but she couldn't say what was good. When he went home, he told Hu Chengxing to hear this, Hu Chengxing nodded immediately, and said excitedly, "Eleventh girl said this well!" Good cards such as good origins, bad cards such as we were born in the market, but if we can manage this bad hand well, we may not be able to win those who are born with good cards in this life! ”
Hu Qiu'er sighed and looked at the courtyard wall next door thoughtfully.
……
When the hourglass was about to arrive, Luo and Yuan Niang went to the kitchen to catch fire, Eleven Niang fetched hot water to call Xue Ye to get up, Xue Ye rubbed his sore head, looked at Eleven Niang's eyes blankly, as if he didn't know where he was, and took the handkerchief handed over by Eleven Niang and wiped his face in a daze, and called, "Eleven Niang......"
A cute look.
Eleven Niang shook her head and chuckled, "After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, if you are sleepy, eat for a while and then continue to sleep." ”
"Oh." Xue Ye nodded.
It wasn't until Eleven Niang went out that he suddenly came back to his senses, remembering his crazy words when he was drunk, and his face instantly turned red, but after a while, it turned pale again.
Ba Niang, Er Niang, and Third Niang invited Zhou and Ling'er to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
I also invited Fang Laohan's family, but Fang Laohan refused, saying that they had also prepared a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner themselves and would not bother.
The family had no choice but to give up.
Xia Chenghe and Xue Ye set up firecrackers on the corridor in the courtyard, Banniang led Xiao Twelve eager to try, but was pulled by Yuan Niang, Banniang was deflated and pouted, "Why are firecrackers only for boys?" In the future, I will stay at home to support my father and mother for the rest of my life......"
Yuan Niang glared, Er Niang and Er Niang and San Niang went up to cover her mouth, "My good sister, for the New Year, you can't speak with this mouth, can you say a few words." ”
Banniang nodded her head, and Erniang and Sanniang let go of her.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family went to sleep separately and returned to Jiuli Pavilion to worship their ancestors the next day.
Luo was a little worried, and went back to the bedroom to talk to Xia Chenghe, "Daddy won't be difficult for you, right?" After saying that, I was a little discouraged, and I was embarrassed that I would definitely have it, just the attitude of the old man years ago......
Xia Chenghe was stunned and smiled at Luo, "Don't you know your father's temper?" But just to say two words, out of the way. When you pay a New Year's greeting to your father and mother, you will take your daughter to Li's house first, and I will sacrifice my ancestors to find you. Lizheng, the village chief's house, we have to go to the house, and the uncle's family also has to take a look, and the elders in the village who have taken care of us can't miss the courtesy......"
Luo sighed, tugged at the padded jacket on her husband's elbow, and said distressedly, "Go to the grave, don't take it to heart what your father and mother say, your body is important, you don't care about yourself, you have to take care of our mother." ”
"Hey, don't worry, I promise I won't be angry with myself." Xia Chenghe patted his chest with a smile, and the sound of the dong made Luo couldn't help laughing, grabbed his hand and blew it, "Stupid, don't you use your own hand as a hammer?" ”
Xia Chenghe looked at the smile on Luo's face, the smile on his face was even happier, a pair of eyes could drip water gently, and lowered his head, "Jade Niang......"
Roche blushed and put down the bed net.
Early the next morning, the family took a carriage back to Jiuli Pavilion.
There was still half a mile away from Jiuli Pavilion, and when they met the uncle and aunt of the Li family who came to pick them up, the aunt of the Li family got into the carriage, stretched out her hand to bake the fire next to the small stove, and said with a smile, "Counting that you should arrive at this hour, wait for me to warm up the fire, let's change the car and sit." It's better not to let the people in the old house see this carriage of your family, so as not to cause trouble again. ”
Banniang pouted, "That's it, I think about our family all day long, and if there is a good one, I want to keep it for myself, and I haven't seen them give anything to our family!" ”
"Ba Niang......" Luo Zhi called his daughter helplessly, Xia Chenghe shook his head at Luo and patted her hands.
Luo Shi smiled at Xia Chenghe, turned his head but glared at his daughter, Banniang stuck out her tongue, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, "Uncle Li, can you teach me to drive the ox cart?" ”
"The little girl's family, why do you learn to drive an ox cart? I think you might as well learn embroidery from your second and third sisters, and talk about your in-laws' ...... in the future," Uncle Li laughed.
Banniang snorted, looked up and shouted at Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, Uncle Li scolded me for being stupid!" ”
"Hey, when did Uncle Li say you were stupid?"
"Just now, you said that I couldn't embroider and get married...... Banniang threw herself into the futon on the ox cart, rolling gently, Erniang and Sanniang got down from the car, fished Banniang out of the futon, and smiled at Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, Happy New Year." ”
"Happy New Year!" Uncle Li smiled and took out two red envelopes from his arms, one for Erniang and one for Sanniang, the two sisters refused, and were taken by Aunt Li who got out of the car and stuffed into the arms of the two, "The elders gave it to you, let you take it, you can take it!" ”
Banniang sat up on the side and looked up, "Uncle Li, what about mine?" ”
Aunt Li nodded her forehead and smiled, "Where did you get the red envelope if you don't pay New Year's greetings?" ”
Ba Niang knelt in the futon with a smile and kowtowed, "Happy New Year Uncle Li and Aunt Li, Wishing you prosperity, all the best!" ”
"Ouch, this kid, Aunt Li is just talking, why are you serious, get up, get up!" Aunt Li hurriedly helped Banniang get up, reached out and took out a red envelope from her arms and stuffed it into her hand, "Take it, it's for you." ”
Banniang smiled and took the red envelope and got into the futon.
When the family got into the ox cart, Eleven Niang and Xiao Twelve also gave New Year's greetings to the two elders, and naturally they did not leave behind the New Year's money.
Yan Xia drove the carriage to Jiuli Pavilion first, still circled around the village, and entered the Li family.
Shi Niang's family got off the ox cart from the entrance of the village and went directly to the old house.
Xia Cheng'an opened the door, saw Xia Chenghe and the others, and said with a smile, "Third child, here, come in, why did you rush back so early?" ”
"Happy New Year, Second Uncle." A few sisters smiled and greeted the New Year, Xia
Greeting the New Year, Xia Chengan said yes again and again, and led the family to the courtyard.
The old lady's voice came from the main room, "Second child, who's coming?" ”
"Mother, it's the third family here." Xia Chengan replied.
The main room was silent, and the old lady's angry shouts rang out, "Let him go!" Your father and I still want to live a few more years, and we don't want to be bad on the first day of the new year! ”
"Mother......" Xia Chengan glanced at Xia Chenghe and sighed, "Third child, you wait here for a while, I'll go and say a few words to my father." ”
The corners of Xia Chenghe's lips hooked, although he was a little bitter, but there was a faint smile on his face, "Second brother doesn't have to be reluctant, if my father and mother don't want to see us, it's the same if we kowtow in the yard." ”
Xia Chengan's eyes were complicated, he sighed, and wanted to say something, the cotton curtain in the main room was lifted, Xia Fangfei hurriedly walked over, and said in a low voice, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, my father and mother are in a bad mood, you go back first." ”
Eleven Niang raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Fangfei, Luo Shi frowned slightly and was looking at Xia Fangfei, Xia Fangfei hung her head and didn't raise it, and after speaking, she pulled Xia Chengan's clothes.
Xia Chengan tightened his eyebrows, and brushed Xia Fangfei's hand away a little angrily, "Little sister, today is the first day of the new year, the third child is the first to go out to spend the new year, kowtow to my father and mother, and go to the grave to worship the ancestors together, how can I go back at this time!" "When I was known, I thought that the third child took Qiao and didn't wait to see his father, that was the crime of unfilial piety, how could the third family be a person in Jiuli Pavilion!
"Daddy...... Dad doesn't want to see the third brother, he wants to be angry when he sees it, why ...... Why ......" Xia Fangfei was angry when she saw the good-tempered Xia Cheng'an, and stammered to explain.
Eleven Niang smiled weirdly at Xia Fangfei, and suddenly said loudly, "Grandpa, grandma, we're here to greet you for the New Year!" ”
The voice was so loud that Xia Fangfei's words were completely suppressed.
"Eleven Niang, you are crazy, you can hear it outside when you shout so loudly." Banniang stretched out her hand to pull Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang winked at her, Banniang was stunned, for a moment, her eyes were bright, and she let go of Eleven Niang's hand and shouted, "Master, milk, my father and my mother have taken us to kowtow to you, it doesn't matter if you don't let us into the house, you can't let my father go to worship the ancestors!" ”
Xia Fangfei was completely stunned.
Outside the courtyard, a few people who probed their brains came over when they heard the sound.
Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows and gave a thumbs up to Banniang, wanting them to come to the stage in the third room, then they would be embarrassed together!
In the main room, Old Man Xia smoked with a cold face, and Mrs. Qiao gasped and slapped the table, "Look, look at it, it's like a dog skin plaster, you can't tear it off, you can't drive it away!" Sooner or later, I'm going to be by them! ”
"Mother, it's the New Year, why don't you say this word!" Xia Chengle held his hands and sat by the charcoal basin with his neck bent.
Xia Erlang grabbed a handful of peanuts in his hand, ate them crunched, and pouted at the yard.
Huang sat next to his son, knocking on the melon seeds, holding a handful of peeled melon seeds in the palm of his hand, his mouth kept knocking, he couldn't free his mouth to speak, but his eyes glanced at it impatiently.
The Jiang family looked settled, lowered her eyes slightly, and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, Siniang sat beside the Jiang family, holding her hand on Xia Sanlang.
Shi Niang and Shiro of the big room were next to San Lang, frowning and whispering something, their eyes fell to the door from time to time, Da Lang was bored counting the peanuts on the plate on the table, Jiu Niang stared at Huang angrily, and the melon seeds under his hand kept rubbing and rubbing.
Zhao walked around the people in the house, his eyes were very disdainful, Xia Chengping's face was even worse, he couldn't hide the anger in his eyes and glared at Old Man Xia and Old Lady Qiao, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart that wanted to explode, and said loudly, "Dad, mother, let's let the third family in, it is not good to be rumored to ruin the reputation of the third family." ”
If it is rumored that their big house is not allowed to have three rooms, is he still inappropriate as an official? ! Two old idiots!
Old man Xia paused for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Chengping, clicked twice, and knocked on the cigarette stick when the old lady scolded again, "Since the boss said so, let them come in and kowtow." ”
Xia Chengle sneered, Xia Erlang sighed, "It's still the uncle who has face in front of the master, and he says the same!" ”
Xia Chengping frowned, Old Man Xia glanced at him lightly, Xia Erlang picked up a peanut and threw it down in the air with his neck raised, without looking at the unkind gaze of the two at all.
Huang reached out and pulled his son's clothes, which was slapped away by Erlang.
Shiro jumped down from the kang, "I'll go and call the third uncle and third aunt in." ”
Zhao didn't catch it, and Shiro had already run out.
Huang smiled at the melon seeds, "Shiro is really a good nephew, I'm afraid that the third uncle and three aunts will freeze." ”
Zhao glared at her fiercely, Huang grinned at her, lowered his head and continued to eat melon seeds, Zhao punched the cotton, and his chest ached.
Old Man Xia's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Xia Chengping, Xia Chengping twisted his eyebrows, and turned his head to glare at Zhao.
