The peach blossoms in front of Li Zhu's house are blooming, and the garden is full of purple and red, and it looks even more bright and delicate against the backdrop of verdant green leaves. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Deng is very fond of it. Because of Deng's request, Li Zhu cut more than ten peach blossoms in front of his house and planted them in the mountains. The mountainous land of Li Zhu's family is already empty, and it is not a matter to plant a few peach blossoms. Li Zhu planted thirty or forty trees.

Li Zhu went to the town to take the exam, and the people in the village received some news, but seeing that Li Zhu didn't have any special movements, everyone didn't come to ask, but they were polite when they met and greeted each other on weekdays.

Winter is gone, spring is full, the weather is clear, the four fields are clear and clean, and the earth is full of vitality.

Li Zhu walked around, looked at the good plants and planted them in his own mountains. Deng was busy, in addition to being busy with kitchen affairs and embroidery, he also had to help Aunt Sun make the burden for worshipping ancestors. Since Li Zhu had the audacity to steal plum blossoms from a neighboring village, Li Yu was frightened and asked Li Zhu to be at home and burn the official dish for his ancestors.

This official dish is a manual job, Li Zhuhui carpentry, and literacy, it is perfect for this. Because this was a major event to worship his ancestors, Li Zhu had to carve the wooden official plate wholeheartedly.

The official disc needs to be engraved with the words "Curse of the Past Life" and the words "The late Li Fujun Confessed Lord Li". "The Mantra of Death", also known as "Amitabha Buddha's Fundamental Secret Mantra", is composed of sixty-one words, and to engrave sixty-one words onto a palm-sized wooden board, this cannot be described by a ghostly workmanship, and it is also a delicate work. The official disc is also known as the guide saucer. This is an official dish that can only be burned by talented people. The Li family has Li Dao, a talent, and burning official dishes is a very long-faced thing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the "Cold Food Festival". Deng prepared steamed buns, the "Cold Food Festival" banned fire, no fire is allowed to cook, Deng plans to use steamed buns to send goat milk. But except for the four brothers and sisters of Lehi who drank the goat's milk, the adults couldn't stand it. Adults will eat steamed buns with cold water.

At night, when everyone was asleep, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the yard, and Li Hai looked at the windowsill and turned around and said, "The second uncle is back." Deng frowned, Li Zhu thought about it, didn't make a sound, and hugged Li Hai onto the kang. Li Tao asked: "Mother, the second uncle is back, won't he leave in the future?" Deng Shi responded: "Your second uncle came back to Qingming to worship his ancestors." Ming'er should go back to the neighboring town after eating lunch. I didn't hear what your little second aunt said today, and she is not sure if she wants to come. ”

Li Zhu muttered: "I won't say a word when I come back." After hearing this, Deng Shi responded: "When you come back, let's worship our ancestors together." Li Zhu didn't say anything more. Hamahama thought, I don't know if the newly married concubine has come back? I don't know how to make a fuss tomorrow? I fell asleep while thinking about it.

The second day, Qingming Festival. As usual, Li took Li Hai and his wife around the village in the morning to pick up dung, and then asked Li Hai and his wife to memorize two pages of the book, which was a habit left in the town before, and after the brothers finished memorizing the book, they followed Li Zhu to Li Hongshen's house to help pick up eggs. At this time, the eldest aunt also came over with breakfast steamed buns.

As soon as Li Zhu entered the house of his uncle Li Hongshen, he saw Li Quan, Li Sien, Li Sibin, Li Mu, Li Silin, and Li Simu. Li Zhu smiled: "Brother Quan and Brother Mu are back." Li Mu smiled: "Of course I have to come back for this big thing." Li Zhu nodded, and after Li Hongshen heard this, he glared and said, "Big deal, you also know that this is a big deal?" Why don't you come back sooner? I came back yesterday and could have helped a little. Now when your brothers and your family are ready to worship their ancestors, you will only bring back such a little suckling pig, thinking that it is very remarkable. Others should serve you, people's food, worship, these old things, have been prepared for more than ten days, especially the official dishes carved by others, people have carved them day and night, and carved them for more than 20 days. When you get there, you don't say anything when you come back, and you don't do anything. ”

Li Quan and Li Mu were scolded silently, Li Zhu looked at it and helped to relieve the siege: "Uncle, this Qingming Festival, Brother Quan and Brother Mu are busy, and there is nothing at home that they need to prepare, I just don't have anything to do, so it's the most suitable thing to do." Li Hongshen listened, nodded, and didn't say anything. Li Quan and Li Mu secretly nodded to Li Zhu and thanked them, it seemed that they had avoided Li Hong's deep scolding more than Xie had helped prepare their family's sacrifices.

Li Hongshen said: "These two calves only brought back a small suckling pig. And bottles of wine. What have you prepared in your house? Is it enough? Why don't you add some ideas to these two calves? Li Zhu thought for a while and said: "Our family has official dishes and burdens, and when I came over, Min'er, sister-in-law and aunt were killing fish and chickens. The eggs are boiling in the pot. Killed a rabbit last night, otherwise I wouldn't have been busy this morning. Li Hongshen listened and scolded: "What are you doing with so many things? I just got in, and I got so many things. Li Zhuying said: "Uncle, isn't there any, if there is, it will be added, and worshipping ancestors is a major event once a year." You can't pinch your ancestors. After hearing this, Li Hongshen smiled and nodded: "That's the reason." Where is your father and your eldest brother? Li Quan and Li Mu saw Li Hong smile deeply, looked at the sky and sighed, Li Zhu is good at everything, and his two brothers are calves.

Li Zhuying said: "The eldest sister-in-law prepared three catties of meat and some baggage, and my father's things were all done by the eldest brother." Li Hongshen nodded, and Li Quan whispered beside him: "I also brought incense." ”

After hearing this, Li Hongshen glared at him and said, "You sold this thing, why did you bring it here?" Li Quan was frightened and hurriedly said: "No, not much, I just added." After Li Mu saw it, he closed his eyes there and pretended to sleep. Yes, my father must have felt sorry for Li Zhuke's official disc and so many things, and he took his two sons to brush.

Li Zhu looked at Li Hongshen and said, "Uncle, when it was night last night, Li Hai saw my second brother coming back. When Li Hongshen's family heard that Li Dao was back, their faces darkened when they thought of his concubine. Li Hongshen sighed deeply and said, "It's coming back, who else is coming back?" Li Zhudao: "It's night, and the child doesn't see clearly." Min'er and I lay down and didn't look. Li Hongshen waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.

Ordinary people are burdened by Qingming, and Li Zhu's family has an ox cart, so Li Quan asked to pull the ox cart, which is obviously the richness of the things that show off the ancestors. Li Quan and Li Mu love to show off because of their low status. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy a suckling pig that I don't want to eat on weekdays.

There is no oxcart on weekdays, and there is no opportunity to show off like this, Li Quan and Li Mu don't want to miss it this year.

Li Quan and Li Mu moved the suckling pig to the ox cart of Li Zhu's house, and Li Hongshen carried the wine pot to Li Zhu's house to meet. Old man Li came out neatly dressed in the morning, saw the suckling pig, and greeted with a smile: "Quan'er and Mu'er are back to worship their ancestors." Li Quan and Li Mu answered lukewarmly and didn't say anything.

Old man Li went to Li Zhu's ox cart to see, there were fish, chicken, pig, meat, a basket of eggs, rabbit meat, official plates, this ancestor worship ceremony is very rich, the old man Li laughed happily, and praised the ox cart well.

Old Man Li's laughter attracted Li Yu's family, and Li Yu said to Li Zhu: "Women are cooking at home, let's pack up, get ready to go, go early and return early." Quan and Mu still have to rush to the town. Li Hongshen's family nodded, and everyone packed up their things in an orderly manner. Old Man Li went to pat Li Dao's door and shouted, "Dao, go to worship your ancestors." ”

Li Hongshen looked at Li Dao's room, frowned, and muttered: "Everyone else is busy before they get up, what kind of person is this?" Surely nothing was brought with them. After hearing this, Aunt Sun pulled Li Hongshen and said, "Today is a big day, how can you control your temper." Li Hongshen rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't I accept it, it's okay for so many years." Aunt Sun sighed after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.

The most exciting thing to worship the ancestors is the children, in addition to eating, you can also play. Brother Li Hai had already packed up and was waiting to go. Li Tao and Li Bo were the youngest, and they both sat on ox carts. Li Tian, Li Shu, Li Qiunu, Li Sien, Li Sibin, Li Silin, Li Simu and Li Hai followed the ox cart.

At a moment's notice, Li Daofang's door opened, and when he saw a courtyard of people, he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, I came back late yesterday and went to bed late." "Nobody said anything. Li Qixi put on and followed Li Dao neatly, Li Qiyue rubbed his eyes, came out slowly, and as soon as he came out, he walked to Li Tao and sat down, and sat on the ox cart.

Uncle Li Hongshen looked at it and wanted to scold and think that he was not familiar with this child, and Li Dao was a showman, and a businessman in his own family couldn't talk about him, so his face was flushed, and Li Dao followed the old man Li as if he had nothing to do. Li Yu looked at Li Qiyue, but finally endured it and didn't scold. Li Yu carried the hoe and sickle into the car, and Li Zhu saw that everything was loaded, and then drove the ox cart out. Ding Jie, a man from the Li family, walked towards the ancestral hall of Li Family Village.

Hamahama is a woman, so she has to stay at home. Because the food was taken to worship the ancestors, and there was no busy work at home, Deng took out the embroidery next to the stove, and embroidered while watching the fire boiling water. Li got off the rice and hugged Hamahama to watch.

After seeing it, Li Shi exclaimed: "Min'er, your hands are so skillful. Aunt Sun responded: "No, Min'er is handsome and handsome." The shoes that Min'er embroidered for me last time, which one in the village didn't boast about. After hearing this, Li smiled and said, "That's the case." ”

Suddenly, a woman wearing a green willow skirt, drawing eyebrows, and combing a woman's bun walked out of Li Dao's house. Aunt Sun, Li and Deng were obviously stunned. Deng quickly remembered that this could not be the concubine who had never met.

The woman walked over, bowed to Aunt Sun and the three of them, and said, "Meiling is polite here." Deng hurriedly got up and returned half a salute, Li is a sister-in-law, Aunt Sun is an elder, should have received a salute, this concubine only blessed half a salute, Aunt Sun snorted, turned her head to look at the fire, and Li teased Binbin. Hamahama opened his eyes curiously to look at this strange woman, in this place where men are inferior to women, people who can boldly pursue men are indeed a strange scar. Hamahama looked at it, this woman has a gentle temperament, if she hadn't heard her deeds, she really couldn't see that she was such a bold woman.

Meiling was bored with herself, and when she saw Hamahama's eyes lit up, she sighed: "What a handsome girl." This is Li Zhu's daughter. "Aunt Sun and Deng's faces, as soon as they heard this person's name, their faces darkened. Li Shi said in disgust: "Where did the wild woman come from, she should really be driven out of the door." Meiling didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and said to herself: "Grandma said what kind of vegetables to plant and what kind of vegetables, this seedling is right, and the child born is Jun." ”

After hearing this, Deng's face turned red, and he pursed his lips, and he didn't dare to speak out when he was angry. What Deng has learned, he doesn't know how to scold.

Aunt Sun didn't have so many scruples, and shouted angrily: "Where did the wild goods come from? In this gibberish. What Meiling, you think you are so beautiful that you have no pity. Bah, you're just too crazy to care. ”

Meiling is a child who was raised by her family, otherwise she would not have let her do so. When did she get so angry, even when Mama Li asked her to be a concubine before, she didn't dare to talk to her like this because she was afraid of her dean father. At this moment, as soon as he heard Aunt Sun's words, he immediately glared, raised his hand, and said tremblingly: "You, you." (To be continued.) )
