The bright midday sun shines through the window, sprinkling warmth on everyone in the room.

Originally, it was a hobby for most people in the village to move a deck chair to bask in the sun in the yard during this slack time, but now those who originally lay in their own yards are concentrated in the Wen family.

In the center of the room, an old woman with white temples lit the incense in her hand with a fire fold, and then bowed three times in the direction of the south, south, west, and northwest.

After a series of actions, Father Wen next to him put the copper basin next to the offering table in the center of the room, poured some water into the basin, and put some coins and a few silver nudes into the basin, and said some auspicious words such as "Let us be safe and prosperous for many years".

After Father Wen's preparations were completed, Wen Niang took off Wen An'an's little padded jacket and cotton pants, and handed her naked to the previous mother-in-law.

Although Zhiyan Dao is now a baby, for Wen An'an, who is already twenty-five years old, he still can't accept the appearance of being naked in front of everyone. But there was no way to express his meaning, so Wen Anan had to twist his body and try to find a suitable posture to cover his important parts.

Everyone looked at Wen An'an's writhing body, and they didn't know what Lu Dao was about, and they always felt that the little girl wanted to cover her ass and other embarrassing parts with her hands. But then I thought of this baby, who was only a month old, and I was made to laugh at my own thoughts. He looked at Wen An'an with an awkward look.

The old woman was holding Wen An'an while taking out a mallet from the side. Seeing the appearance of the mallet, Wen Anan was taken aback, she had only seen the water sprinkled on the baby's head with grapefruit leaves and wicker for washing three uses, but she had never seen the use of a mallet. Could it be that if you don't cry, you can hit someone with this mallet? Although Wen An'an must have Wen Dad and Wen Niang there, and he won't really fight, but seeing the mallet that is thicker than his thigh, Wen An'an still has palpitations, and he doesn't dare to writhe anymore, so he just nests obediently in the arms of the old woman.

Feeling that Wen An'an was no longer writhing, the old woman's chrysanthemum-like face smiled at Wen An'an. Then he turned his head and stirred it in the basin with a mallet, and muttered in his mouth: "One stir, two stirring, three or four stirring, sickness and pain are all stirred, five stirring, six stirring, seven or eight stirring, Fushou Kanglu runs inside"

After speaking, he put down the mallet in his hand, scooped a handful of water with his hand, and poured it on Wen An'an's head.

It's November now, and it's already cold, and when this handful of cold water was poured down, Wen An'an, who was excited, immediately shivered, and tears came out of his eyes uncontrollably. Although he didn't cry, a whimpering sound came out of his mouth.

However, no one understands Wen An'an's current pain, but there are still cheers around him, and the voices of "ringing the basin, ringing the basin" and "good omen, good omen" come and go.

In the midst of the applause, the old woman sharpened Wen An'an's delicate skin with her calloused hands, and sang loudly: "Wash your hair, you are smart; Wash your face, be rich for a long time; Wash and wash your body, Kang Fu is now"

In the process of the old woman's singing, the people around put copper coins, naked seeds, dates, longan, mirrors and other miscellaneous things into the copper basin, causing the water in the copper basin to overflow.

After washing her body, the old woman symbolically combed Wen An'an's bare head with a comb, and said: "A comb of Baishun", and then traced An An's eyes and eyebrows with the back of the comb, and then chanted: "Trace the eyebrows on the left, grow into a peerless beauty; The right sideburns are combed, and the perfect marriage is destined; dot the red lips, you can speak and be able to keep the family; Powder noodles, branches and leaves, the family is prosperous. Wash three songs and chant blessings, and be happy for the rest of your life"

After a series of chanting, singing, and playing, Wen An'an's washing was truly completed.

Wen Liushi invited the uncles and aunts inside and outside the house to stay and eat and wash three noodles. Although there are not so many rules for men and women at the age of seven in the countryside, for the convenience of everyone to eat and drink, Wen Liu's family still separates the seats, the men are in the room of the two Wen Anze brothers next door, and the women are washing the main room for three purposes.

After Wen Liushi cleaned up the offering table, he put it together with the table where the family usually ate, and then beckoned everyone to sit down and go to the kitchen to serve food and rice.

Because it is winter, there are basically few vegetables on the market. However, Wen Liushi still made a table full of dishes.

Wen An'an looked at Wen Liu, who served a plate of dishes as if by magic, and admired how his mother made such a big table of dishes.

Deep-fried golden tofu, neatly arranged white chopped chicken, fragrant steamed noodles, red, green and green radish vermicelli soup, oily pork stewed vermicelli, brightly colored aged vinegar cabbage, vinegared silver sprouts, fried sausages with potatoes and carrots, bacon soup noodles, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and finally a large bowl of washed noodles, as well as some oil cakes, glutinous rice cakes and other snacks. A table full of dishes is full of color, flavor and flavor. Even Wen An'an drooled when he saw it. But I had no choice but to stay aside and drool dryly.

This table of dishes was served, and it also caused the aunts present to sigh for a while, not to mention the bright colors of the dishes on this table in winter, the dishes with proper meat and vegetables, just the amount of each dish is full, not to mention a group of them, even the big man next door has to hold their stomachs after eating. It can be seen that the main family is really very attentive to them.

"Sister Wen, you see that you are too wasteful, how can we eat and play with such a big table of dishes" The woman who spoke was called Aunt Lin by Wen Anze in front, and it can be seen that she has a relatively high status in this group of people.

As soon as Aunt Lin fell, the white chubby woman sitting opposite her said with a dissatisfied face: "Yo hey, you are worthy of the village chief's wife, you even know what others think."

Originally, Wen An'an hadn't noticed this person, but as soon as her sharp and thin voice came out, it covered out the originally noisy laughter. Listening to this voice that makes people want to cut off, I know that this person is estimated to look like a snarky person. But when Wen Anan looked over, although he didn't look as rude as expected, this person's appearance made Wen Anan laugh.

The aunt is white and fat, but ridiculous is ridiculous on her small eyes, if the eyes are slender and barely able to see, the key is that the aunt is stunned to have a pair of round little eyes, coupled with the squeezing of the cheeks on both sides, the eyes are forced into two points like mung beans. If you look at it from a distance, you still think that there are two small black dots on the steamed bun, the nose is a little collapsed, and the mouth is quite stingy, but it can't show off with this look. A face gives people the feeling that the light is big, and the facial features are not even more likely.

There are many people here who seem to be at odds with the steamed bun aunt. One next to him looked at Erniuniang with disgust and pulled left and right in the vegetable pot with chopsticks, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Erniu mother, you can't say that, after all, Sister-in-law Lin is also a good intention, and besides, we all think that Wen Ze has done a little too much."

"We are like some people, in order to eat someone else's meal, we can't wait to skip food for three days in a row, and our stomachs are empty. That's not something that ordinary people can do."

These words are so sharp that they are equivalent to a slap in the face. The person who can say such sharp words, Wen An'an knows, is the aunt who lives in front of their house. This married aunt is compatible with the Wenliu family, and she comes from home at home for three days, and she is hearty and righteous, she loves gossip, and her mouth is a little poisonous. Wen Anan also heard Wen Niang mention in the chat that this Cheng family is also known as the gossip tyrant, and she knows how many mouse holes there are.

"Bang" Hearing the sarcastic words of herself, Er Niu Niang felt hot on her face no matter how she messed around. What's the matter, today's group of old ladies are all here to quarrel with themselves. If you want to quarrel, you are not easy to bully.

Seeing that Er Niu Niang was about to put on a shelf and start scolding, Wen Liushi hurriedly went over and stopped the person.

"Sisters-in-law are all discouraged, today is the third day of our family's An'an, everyone should give me a face. Let's all have a good time today, don't make trouble with those who don't. Today, I also prepared some rice wine, usually just watch their old men drink, today we are also happy" and then pressed the second cow girl back to the seat, and quickly brought a wine jar from the kitchen back, for everyone to drink.

Since the main family has said so, after all, they are all villagers, and it will not be beneficial for anyone to make trouble again, so everyone is eating and drinking food and drinking under the guise of Haluha.

Wen Liushi saw that there was nothing to do, so he took Wen Anan in his arms and sat down at the table to eat noodles. Next to Wen Liu's is the Cheng family, and on the right is Aunt Lin. When the two saw Wen Liushi sitting down, they hurriedly moved the stool to this side and talked together.

Aunt Lin saw that the Cheng family also leaned over, and said with her mouth shut, "Cheng Jia, don't you know who the Lu Dao family is, Fan De can't get along with her?"

When Cheng heard this, he rolled his eyes fiercely in the direction of Aunt Lin, and put another chopstick dish into Wen Liu's bowl, and then said faintly: "I just can't get used to seeing her like that." You don't know what happened, the day before yesterday she went to Widow Li again for trouble. I didn't look at the bear-like look of her family" I wanted to say something more, but Cheng felt that this topic was not suitable for discussion in public, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence, scooped up a bowl of radish soup and drank it.

Gossip, gossip, in this era of no computer and no TV, gossip has become Wen An'an's only joy of life. Wen An'an's gossip soul had just been awakened, and he was about to continue listening, but then there was no follow-up.

This is the most taboo to leak half and hide half of it, especially for the audience, it is simply a torture. Wen Anan felt that there was a little kitten's paw scratching there in his heart, and it was very uncomfortable.

Wen felt the restless writhing of his daughter in his arms, thinking that the baby was uncomfortable, so he adjusted the position of holding his daughter to make her more comfortable.

When Wen Anan wanted to struggle a little more to see if he could 'turn things around', the room that was still a little noisy just now quieted down. Wen Anzheng wondered what had happened again, and he felt that he was being held and stood up.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm late, here are some congratulatory gifts I brought" The speaker was a girl in her twenties.

Wen An'an looked at the sweet voice. The girl in front of her gave Wen An'an's first impression as delicate and pitiful. 1.6 meters tall, petite and cute. The goose egg face of the condensed fat Saiyu, the willow leaves bent the eyebrows and the phoenix eyes, and there seems to be infinite affection in the eye waves. The small and delicate nose is just the right curvature, adding a little too blunt, and deleting too mediocre. Although on the whole, this girl is not very beautiful and moving, but her gestures reveal the unique gentle charm of Jiangnan women, which adds a touch of color to her.

Suddenly, Wen An'an understood the reason why the women in the room were quiet, and such an existence was a challenge and a threat to most of the women here.

Wen Liushi didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere around him, handed Wen Anan to Cheng next to him, took the girl's hand and said with a smile: "Miss Tang, your kind sister-in-law understands it, but I can't accept things."

Girl? Ancient women generally got married and had children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and this girl looked to be in her twenties, not yet married, and seemed to be a leftover girl in ancient times. Tut-tut, like-minded.

"Sister-in-law, you better take it, this is my ...... A little bit of my mother's heart and me" Miss Tang pushed the basket in her hand, insisting that Wen accept it.

In order to end this embarrassing atmosphere as soon as possible, there was no way, Wen Liushi had to accept the basket, and just as he was about to invite her to sit down, he heard Miss Tang's soft and glutinous voice spread in the silent room: "Sister-in-law, I won't eat." My mother is still waiting for me at home."

Without waiting for Wen's reply, Miss Tang glanced at the people in the house, waved her hand and walked out of the main room. Looking at this situation, Wen Liushi was also stunned, and then reacted, and immediately picked out some eggs, millet, brown sugar or something from the gifts next to him, and chased after the girl.

As soon as the Tang girl left, the room was like a drop of cold water dripping from an oil pot, and it exploded with a bang, and the sound of chattering and the silence just now were like two worlds.

At this time, Wen An'an, who was nestled in Cheng's arms, was also bombed like a soaking pan in oil. Just because of the glance that the girl glanced at when she left just now.
