Chapter 116: Eyebrows
When I got home, it was already three poles on the sun, Qin Lao Niang personally offered two Guanyin statues in the Buddha shrine, and offered water to invite incense, smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance, everyone was relieved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Huajiao was carried back to the house by Luo to change the jacket and skirt he was wearing, and changed out of his homely jacket and trousers, and as soon as he walked to the backyard, he was picked up by Father Qin, who had just come back from hoeing: "Let's go, Jiaojiao and grandfather will go and see if Uncle Cousin has beaten our little hoe and sickle." ”
I got up too early and was tired for a long time, and the peppercorns that were a little wilting immediately became energetic when they heard this, nodded their heads incessantly, and told their grandfather: "There are four sisters." As he spoke, he slipped out of Daddy Qin's arms, shouted "Fourth Sister" and ran to Xiangye's house to drag Xiangye, who had just changed her clothes, out: "Let's go to my cousin's house to see the little hoe and the little sickle!" ”
Xiangye, who was pouting her little mouth and hanging her head in frustration, instantly burst into a laugh when she heard this, and couldn't stop nodding: "Okay, good!" ”
The two little things ran to Daddy Qin hand in hand, and one dragged Daddy Qin out. Father Qin deliberately pretended to be unable to walk, teasing his two little granddaughters.
Out of the courtyard gate, the three grandparents walked west. Along the way, Xiangye cooed with Qin's father and talked about the Bodhisattva and Arhat he saw in the Guanyin Temple, but the journey of more than half a mile was in the blink of an eye.
Unlike the neat and square, row-on-row, and progressive houses of Lishiwei, the dwellings in Zhoujiawan are obviously a little disorderly. A courtyard in the east and a house in the west, it seems that as long as it can surround the ancestral hall, it can be built wherever it is, and there is no charter.
Hua Jiao also came to his cousin's house to visit the New Year last month, not to mention that he could hear the crisp and rhythmic sound of "Ding Bell - Ding Bell" from afar, and there was no need for Father Qin to say more, he was already familiar with leading him to Zhou's house.
The "cousin" in the mouth of the pepper is actually Qin Lianbao's cousin and Qin Laoniang's nephew.
Speaking of the only younger brother and sister from Qin Lao Niang, after the death of one after another, Qin Lao Niang's maiden relatives are only the two nephews Zhou Dasheng and Zhou Dacheng.
and they are all honest heads who have never had a voice, so Mrs. Qin and Father Qin have always taken care of the two families very well. They will be secretly subsidized for any work at home, and they will take care of their business if they need to make any farm tools and tools at home.
Qin Lao Niang's maiden brother is a blacksmith, and the two sons followed Lao Tzu to iron when they were young.
A few days ago, Father Qin saw that the pepper Xiangye and the seventh cousin did not have farm tools to take advantage of, so he thought of giving them a few small hoes and small sickles to use for them to grow vegetables.
came over to talk to Zhou Dasheng, and the lean, dark-skinned man nodded straight.
Daughter-in-law Lu Shi was stunned when she heard this: "Give the little girl and the little boy farm tools?" That's a ......."
Before he finished a sentence, he was glared back by Zhou Dasheng.
Although he is honest, he doesn't like others to say in front of him that his aunt and uncle are not. For this, he has fought with his brothers in the same clan since he was a child.
Father Qin entered the gate of the Zhou family courtyard with pepper fragrant leaves, and the first person to hear the movement and ran out was Jin Gui, the eldest daughter of the second Zhou Dacheng.
The little girl was one year older than Xiangye, but she was even more shy than Xiangye, and if it weren't for the adult's leadership, she would never dare to cross most of the village to play with the Qin family sisters.
Shrunk behind the door timidly and shouted "Uncle Grandfather", and Sichuan Pepper and Xiangye hurriedly shouted "Sister".
Although the brothers of the Zhou family separated before the death of their parents, they did not separate, the eldest family lived in the main house, the second family lived in the east wing, and the west wing was set up as a blacksmith furnace, and there was still a courtyard in and out.
Although there are times when there are red faces between concubines, in the end, there are only two brothers who are single and weak, and they don't dare to mess up from their own homes and ask others to bully them, but they have lived peacefully for so many years.
Zhou Dacheng's daughter-in-law Zhang ran out of the wing room when she heard the voice, and just saw Father Qin smiling and taking out a small packet of sugar cakes from his arms and handing them to Jin Gui, he hurriedly smiled and curtsied to Father Qin, and shouted to the west wing room, pushed Jin Gui to play with pepper bay leaves, and then accepted the sugar cakes and entered the house.
Xiangye's eyes widened, and Lu Shi came out again to invite Father Qin into the house to sit, and Father Qin took out a bag of sugar cakes as if he was playing a trick, and asked Lu to leave them for the children to eat.
The Lu family gave in before accepting it, and Father Qin led his granddaughters to the west wing, but he didn't let the two little things into the house.
The west wing of the Zhou family is a bright and dark pattern, and Hua Jiao stood outside the door, curious to see, this is the first time she has seen her cousin and uncle striking iron.
I saw a big stove in the middle of the bright room, and there was a bellows next to the stove, and the bellows pulled the wind into the stove, and the flames in the stove jumped straight up.
Uncle Cousin stood in front of the furnace with his bare back, Uncle Cousin held a sledgehammer for forging, Uncle Cousin held an iron tong in one hand to turn the red iron, and held a small hammer in the other hand to guide Uncle Cousin to forge, and at the same time used a small hammer to repair the key position, and sparks splashed everywhere.
The two worked together, cooperated tacitly, and the rhythm was not chaotic at all. Seeing that the two of them noticed him, Father Qin hurriedly motioned to the two to continue.
The cousin, who was facing Daddy Qin, nodded and continued the movements in his hand.
Sichuan Jiao watched as a piece of hard iron was repeatedly beaten into thin slices in the hands of his cousin, and suddenly saw his cousin knock the small hammer on the edge of the anvil twice in a row, and the cousin immediately put down the sledgehammer in his hand.
The two put down the tools in their hands and walked over to salute Father Qin, Hua Jiao shouted loudly with admiration, "Uncle Cousin", but Xiangye was a little shy and scared, and whispered with Hua Jiao.
The two brothers both smiled, and Zhou Dacheng went into the house again and took out the small farm tools that had been made.
Three hoes and three sickles, two of which are only half the size of ordinary farm tools, and one set of peppercorns is estimated to be only one-third, which must be their own.
stared at it uncontrollably, and hurriedly thanked his cousin and uncle, and Xiangye was also busy thanking him when he saw it, but this time he was louder.
Zhou Dacheng laughed when he saw it.
Carrying farm tools and politely declining the invitation of the Zhou brothers to stay for dinner, Father Qin led the pepper bay leaves to go home again.
The brothers of the Zhou family sent them out of the yard, and Father Qin led the pepper fragrant leaves just around the ridge of the stream, and someone shouted Father Qin behind him, but it was the old uncle.
smiled and stepped forward quickly, picked up peppercorns and bay leaves one by one, and pulled Father Qin to his house to eat wine: "Let's go, I have eyebrows when you asked me to help you see the land last time." (To be continued.) )
