Chapter 86: The Lantern Festival
Mama Li was afraid that Old Man Li would say that she would divorce her again, so she reluctantly went to boil water and bathed Old Man Li. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Old Man Li looked at Mama Li and shook his head.
Old Man Li asked Li Zhu to call Li Yu and the Li family, and then went into Li Zhu's house and waited for Li Yu to come over. This is the first time that Old Man Li has entered Li Zhu's house since the separation. I saw that the house was divided into two halves by a gray cloth, and the outer half was only a wardrobe and a kang, and there was a small bucket of puppies on the side of the kang, and there was a urinal, the urinal was covered, and there was no smell, it should be clean. There was a small bucket of water on the closet, which I thought I could drink. The whole room was so small that only two adults could barely stand. Old Man Li asked, "What is that half?" Deng Shi replied: "Dad, it's food." Only then did Old Man Li remember that Li Zhu's family only had one room, and everything could only be placed in this small house. Old Man Li's face turned red imperceptibly, and he went out to sit on a chair under the peach tree and wait.
Just when Mr. Li was about to light a cigarette, Li Yu and his wife came over.
Old Man Li put a crude wooden box on the table and said to Li Yu and Li Zhu: "Your second brother bought a house, and this is the money borrowed from Cuihua. We don't want to make her feel bad at home for this foreign-married daughter, you see, if there is any money left in the family, make up for it, and let the rice owe her brother better than the foreign-married daughter. Li Yu and Li Zhu were so angry that they couldn't speak. Li Yu shouted angrily: "Dad, we are all separated now, how Dao wants to live is his family, I can't care about it, let alone care about it." Our family has no money to spare, and the pig we just held still wants to send the children to school. Our family doesn't have the money. For the first time, Old Man Li heard his eldest son angrily shouting at himself, he was shocked, his old face turned red, and he asked the brothers who had separated the family to pool money to help repay the money to the married daughter, which is indeed not authentic, but if it is the money that his own children owe to the married daughter, this makes him even more shameless.
Old man Li looked at Li Zhu, and Li Zhu said: "Dad, our family has no money, Min'er and Binbin still have to support their bodies, and there is no income at home, I still want to try the township test next year, I really have no money." When Mr. Li heard that his two sons were crying poor, and the situation of his two sons' families was indeed like this, he was angry with Li Dao in his heart, how could he buy a house if he had nothing to do, he only thought about these things he enjoyed, and he didn't care about the face of the family.
Old Man Li sighed and said, "If you don't have it, forget it, alas, Dao didn't think deeply when he did this." ”
After hearing this, Hamahama thought to himself, what did this second uncle do to think deeply, otherwise he would not be forced to go to the neighboring town. Hamahama doesn't have a good impression of this second uncle, and this second uncle hasn't even looked at her.
Old Man Li opened the box, everyone saw that it was a few golden locks, Old Man Li sighed, and said: "These are the full moon gifts given to you by the uncle's family and Master Mu's family when your child is full moon. Whose should it be or who is holding it. Li smiled after seeing it.
The three children of Li Yu's family are three golden locks, and the three children of Li Zhu's family have three golden locks, three jade buckles and a silver bracelet. Old Man Li said: "The jade buckle was given by Master Mu's family, and your mother said that it was Hai'er, Tao'er, and Bo'er." The bracelet was given to Hai'er by Madame Deng. Li Yu and the Li family both nodded, looking at what Binbin got in the full moon, they knew that Old Man Li was not lying, and the Li Zhu family did not enter the project now, so it was nothing for their family to take more.
Deng took it timidly and said, "Thank you." Old man Li said: "I didn't have a congratulatory gift for our children's full moon, I used to think that your mother gave it, but it turned out, alas, she didn't even give a penny." Dad, he doesn't have any money now, and when he has money in the future, he will make up for his grandchildren. Li Zhu hurriedly shirked it, and when Old Man Li glared, Li Zhu didn't dare to squeak.
The family chatted for a while, and Mr. Li said that he should pay attention to who bought the land, and helped sell the land under Li Dao's name, and strive to pay off the money owed to Li Cuihua as soon as possible. Li Zhu suddenly thought that the second brother owed the eldest sister money, and not long ago he spent eight taels of silver to buy land. Li Yu said: "Dad, a few days ago, the second brother didn't take out eight taels of silver to buy land. I bought it for my help. Old Man Li obviously just remembered this, his face was flushed with anger, he spat a mouthful, and said, "That's all this calf has to offer." The family broke up after a few words.
Li was very excited, pulled Deng Shi to say two more words, and said with a smile: "There are no gold ornaments here, and the children's share is reserved for their son." Buying another golden hairpin is for their daughter-in-law. Deng laughed at Li for thinking too long, Li sighed and smiled in response.
At night, Li Zhu surrounded the rabbits with a few sticks of firewood, covered them with wooden boards, and locked the rabbits in the firewood room. The family went to bed early after washing.
Mama Li went home, and for some reason, Old Man Li changed his normal behavior and detained Mama Li and didn't let her do anything too out of line.
On the second day of Li Zhu's family, Uncle Zhang brought some sugar cakes to the eldest sister Li Cuihua, and they were all busy in an orderly manner.
Feeding cows, sheep, birds, dogs, rabbits, and chickens is also helping, although the family has not gone to the field, but there is a lot to do. In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here.
The Deng family asked Li Zhu to bring some silver taels to the town to give a gift a day in advance. Li Zhu followed Uncle Zhang to the town early in the morning and came back at the same time. Li Zhu was still carrying a pot of wine in his hand. After seeing it, Deng Shi smiled and said, "After you left, I was still thinking about whether to ask someone to give you a message, for fear that you would forget." Li Zhuying said: "How can you forget the big event of our daughter." As soon as Binbin heard that it was about her, he probed over and saw Li Zhu carrying a pot of wine, and he didn't know why.
When the moon was on the branches, Li Zhu lit the lamp, took a hoe, took Li Hai's brother, Deng held Binbin, and dug a hole under the peach tree, Li Zhu said to Li Hai'er: "Hai'er, Tao'er, Bo'er, you have to remember, what is buried here is your sister's daughter Hong." When Hamahama heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise. Tears welled down his face.
Daughter red, is the wine that the parents buried when the girl is born, and there is the meaning of hoping that the child's life will become more and more mellow, and when the girl gets married, she will marry together. Generally, people go to the wine store to buy some wine casually, and only people like Li Zhujia who feel sorry for their daughters will really bury this wine. The Lantern Festival is the day of the blessing of the heavenly officials, and the lantern festival node lamp buries the daughter red, in addition to hoping that the child's life is getting better and better, there is also an oath in front of the gods, and the meaning of the child must be better.
How could this deep love not move Hamahama. These Hamahama were just fantasies in their previous lives, but they didn't expect to be reborn in this life, and she met such a lovely family. At this moment, Binbin really let go of his previous life in his heart and was dedicated to being a good village girl. Of course, money still has to be earned.
Deng saw Hamahama crying, and hurriedly wiped it carefully. After a while, Hamahama burst into tears and laughed. Deng didn't know the change in Hamahama's feelings, and after seeing Hamahama laughing, he handed Hamahama to Lehi, and she also helped to get it. Brother Li Hai took Hamahama to play beside him. Li Bo was very excited about not having to go to bed now, Li Hai looked unhappy, put on a cool face, and asked strangely: "Dad, mother, what are you digging?" Why don't you let me go to the kang? ”
Deng Shi smiled and responded: "This is burying your sister with your daughter Hong, burying this, you will hurt your sister." Lehi replied disdainfully: "If you don't bury this thing, we will love her too." ”
Li Zhu and Deng laughed when they heard this. Binbin clapped and laughed in the audit, and Binbin found that as long as his eldest brother was pulled out of the bed at night, he was in a very bad mood, and he liked to top people.
Li Zhu dug a meter deep before placing the wine inside. After covering the soil, the family washed their hands and feet again before they could go to bed. Lehi couldn't wait any longer, so he rushed to the front to wash his hands, and went to bed in three or two and covered the quilt. Deng Shi looked at Li Hai's movements, shook his head, and didn't say anything, Hamahama thought to himself, Niang finally realized that the eldest brother's cat winter habits were not good.
