Chapter 19: Qingming
Gentle drizzle, fluttering and sprinkling, wisps, lingering, gentle and soft, clear and clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In memory, Qingming is always accompanied by a drizzle, and it has a melancholy taste.
"Sister-in-law, the Qingtuan you made tastes so good." Qingming Festival, also known as the Cold Food Festival, bans smoking and fire, only eats cold food, Lin Qiu did not prepare the Youth League, plus the school only has one day off, and the Youth League takes a lot of effort to make it, and she has little experience, so she simply goes to her sister-in-law to eat if she doesn't do it.
To tell the truth, the Qingtuan made by the sister-in-law is really good, not only selling the appearance of jasper, round and cute, but also making people have a great appetite, in addition to this, this Qingtuan also has a good taste, soft and glutinous, sweet and delicious.
"Yes, second sister-in-law, sister-in-law's craftsmanship in making the Youth League is this." Song Xiuxiu gave a thumbs up, and then stuffed the Qingtuan into her mouth, her cheeks bulging, the sister-in-law had nothing to say about this, and I don't know how the second sister-in-law did it.
"It's delicious, you two can eat more, this sister-in-law of the Youth League has made a lot." Some people appreciate their craftsmanship, and the sister-in-law is happy in her heart and smiles on her lips.
"Tiger~Tiger, where are you~hmm~?" Song Xiuxiu's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Huzi sneaking out of the yard, she called out to stop him, but her mouth was full of Qingtuan, and her speech was a little slurred.
When Li Mei heard Song Xiuxiu's words, her eyes turned and she saw Song Hu standing at the gate and preparing to go out, she shouted, "Huzi is back, and I have to go to worship my ancestors in a while!" Why are you going? ”
Huzi moved back slowly, a little reluctantly, "Mom, I made an appointment with Erhu to fly a kite today." The big tooth that the tiger lost grew back, and his speech finally stopped leaking.
Two tigers? Flying a kite with two tigers? "Have you reconciled with Erhu?"
Huzi nodded, "Second aunt, I reconciled with me according to what you said." ”
"It's so early, you're about to fly a kite in the morning?" There was anger in Li Mei's voice, there was such a big thing as worshipping ancestors today, he actually ran out to play, if it wasn't for Xiuxiu's discovery......
This kid is also not sensible!
"No, I want to buy a kite." Huzi looked at Li Mei and whispered, when Li Mei was angry, Huzi was still very afraid, and Huzi's naughty words were indispensable for a lesson from his sister-in-law. "I don't have a kite yet."
Huzi had a somewhat timid expression on his face, and Lin Qiu was a little distressed.
"The second aunt will buy it for you in a while, buy a big and beautiful one." Lin Qiu walked over and touched Huzi's head, a little prickly, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry with Huzi." ”
"Forget it, next time I told my mother in advance, do you know?" Li Mei sighed lightly, Qingming can't beat and scold the child at this time, and Li Mei herself feels sorry for the child, and she can't bear it, but no matter how she teaches the child, it will only make him lawless, and it is the pain in the mother's heart.
"Sister-in-law, where's the eldest brother?" During this time, I rarely saw the eldest uncle, and today it stands to reason that he should always be at home, why haven't I seen him now.
"How is he watching bayberry on the mountain, and he doesn't know how this year's harvest will be?" Song Qing contracted to plant more than 400 bayberry trees on a hill behind the village a few years ago, and made some money by planting bayberry in the past few years. It's almost the bayberry harvest season, so you have to go up and see it from time to time.
"When the harvest is good, it depends on whether it can be sold or not, and whether it can make money." Speaking of this, Li Mei is a little worried, this year's harvest can count on this moment.
Lin Qiu didn't answer, she didn't understand this bayberry, she didn't even know how much bayberry was a catty, now, she would only eat bayberry and everything else......
"Dad." Huzi saw the eldest uncle coming in from the door and shouted.
Packing up and going up the mountain, when they arrived at the mountain, the light rain stopped, so they put away the umbrella.
There are a lot of bayberry trees on the mountain, ten meters high, each tree has a lot of fruits, the marble size color is milky white, it seems that it will take more than a month to mature and sell, the green trees and white fruits complement each other, very cute.
This bayberry is growing well, if it grows like this, there should be a plant of 300 catties, why is the sister-in-law full of worries?
When he came to the grave of his ancestors, Song Qing used a sickle to clean up the weeds and branches in front of the grave. Li Mei used a broom to clean up the garbage in front of the grave, put the flowers she brought, placed candles on the left and right sides of the tombstone, and lit incense in front of the tombstone. Lin Qiu offered wine, food and fruits to the graves of his relatives, and the two concubines burned the paper money they brought. Song Qing cultivated new soil for the grave, trimmed the grave, folded a few tender green new branches and inserted them on the grave, and pressed some paper money on them.
When doing this, everyone quietly did not speak loudly to show respect for their ancestors.
The eldest uncle sprinkled a glass of liquor, and the group kowtowed.
The eldest uncle took out a string of firecrackers and lit the primer, and in an instant, the firecrackers made a deafening sound, and a few birds flew into the sky not far away, perhaps startled.
Before leaving, Li Mei and Lin Qiu folded some willow branches nearby, put on the removed steamed food offerings with wicker, and brought them back.
After worshipping the graves of all the ancestors, it is already about ten o'clock.
When going down the mountain, Huzi shook Lin Qiu's cuffs, "Second aunt, kite." ”
"Okay, auntie, remember, I'll buy it for you when you go down the mountain." Huzi's eyes lit up, and he took Lin Qiu's hand and walked down happily.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Qiu gave his things to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I took Huzi to buy kites." ”
"Go, go, come back for dinner later." Li Mei took the things in Lin Qiu's hand and waved them to go, "Go early and return early, don't delay on the road." ”
"Hey." Lin Qiu responded, and walked out of the village with Huzi holding hands with small hands.
Lin Qiu was a little excited in her heart, in fact, she really hadn't had much contact with kites, she wanted it when she was a child but didn't have the money, and when she grew up, she had the money to buy it, but there was nowhere to fly kites in the city, so she could only have an occasional time when she went green.
Songjia Village does not sell kites, to buy kites to go to the village market, not far away, after all, the market was built for the convenience of the villagers of ten miles and eight townships, Songjia Village is not a remote village, it takes about fifteen minutes to walk over, in fact, it is not close. No wonder my sister-in-law was angry this morning, this place is not close, and there are more people, how can I rest assured that the child will come alone.
When Lin Qiu arrived at the bazaar, he felt a little disappointed, there are not many styles of kites, and there is only a board kite (plane kite) on the stall, but it is also right, this kind of kite is more liked by children, and it has good flying performance and is easy to fly. Lin Qiu looked at the appearance of the kites on the stall and found that there were only three kinds of face kites, Pisces kites, and frog kites.
Huzi was quite happy, and fell in love with the frog kite at a glance, "Second aunt, I want this, frog." ”
Looking at Huzi's longing little eyes looking at Lin Qiu, Lin Qiu felt that his heart was about to melt, he was really a cute child.
"I like it, the boss frog kite has one." Lin Qiu took the frog kite from the boss.
"Second aunt, kite." Huzi hugged Lin Qiu's arm and dangled, his eyes kept staring at the kite and did not move away.
"Go home for dinner, and come out later to find the two tigers to fly kites together." Lin Qiu put the kite in his hand in Huzi's arms.
Huzi holds a frog kite and loves it.
Lin Qiu looked at Huzi's appearance and felt that it would be good for him to have such a child in the future.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, a little naughty but a little sensible
