The courtyard is not all caves as Su Yun imagined, and most of the ordinary people passing by live in the cave courtyard, with their backs to the cave houses supported by the high slopes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The yard of the big grandmother's house is more magnificent.

The gate is the gate building that covers the ground, the top of the gate tower is supported by the crosshead beam, the top beam, the front and rear two along the beam, the rafter of the upper swing rises the spine, the tile is inlayed, and the gate top is built, and the beam is erected longitudinally by two large stone walls.

The spring couplets on the gate are a little faded, but there is a more red word of happiness, the gate is on the three-story staircase of the platform, and the built-in pedestal of the eaves of the large porch is carved with the door pier of the Sumeru seat supporting the hub of the household with clear veins, also called the door pillow stone.

The door sleeper stone carving of the grandmother's house is clearly warp and weft, the tassel braid on the side is fine and orderly, the auspicious cloud pattern of the fine rhyme is strange and soars and turns, and the stone on the drum surface is engraved with the auspicious pattern of the deer and crane prolonging the year.

So finely carved and generally only large households will set up the door sleeper stone so has no practical value, but the momentum has a rhyme, but there is no threshold on the door, it looks accessible, open, calm and affinity.

Seeing Su Yun staring at the threshold, the eldest grandmother smiled: "There is a three-foot threshold, this is not a happy event for Dong'er, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to serve food and feast, and I am afraid that there will be many children, so I will stumble over the hot soup, so I will remove the stone threshold, which looks better this way."

In the past, the size of the official position and the wealth of the court were all judged by the length of the threshold, and the threshold was the momentum and heritage of a family.

Following the direction she pointed, Su Yun saw that not far away from the passage connected to the courtyard gate, sure enough, on an empty and flat brick floor, there were several large pot stoves, and there were chefs with aprons who were steaming meat and cooking, preparing to eat for the banquet.

It looks steaming hot and hilarious.

A large crowd came over.

The cooks rubbed their hands on their aprons and looked at them too.

A man with a dark face laughed and said, "Grandma, is it the sixth uncle and daughter-in-law who have arrived?" ”

Talking and looking around, pulling in the crowd, it can be seen that he is very curious about the bride.

This man is in his forties, but he calls Tang Yidong an uncle. When I entered the village, several aunts in their thirties and forties called Su Yun Sixth Aunt, and Su Yun was a little embarrassed when she heard it.

Only then did I know that Tang Yidong's seniority in the village was still quite high, so it was very good, originally Su Yun saw all the elders in the capital that time, and thought that he had entered the village and was the youngest senior, so he knew that the people who were selected to enter Beijing that time were all seniors.

The customs in the village are heavy, and when she came, Su Yun was worried that there would be many rules when the time came, and the bride would not be able to say anything, and her grandfather also told herself that it would not be in the way.

Only then did I understand, it turned out that Tang Yidong's seniority was not low, and Su Yun was very satisfied in his heart, in this way, when the new house was made, there should be no one to coax, and those who are qualified to coax are all old people, and there is no young person who is active.

Hearing the man's voice, the grandmother scolded: "Don't shout, I think you want to eat tobacco bags and pots."

The man smiled and said, "I heard that it was a young woman, but I am not used to it."

Grandma was unhappy: "Seniority is seniority, age is age, can't be messed up."

Hearing the old lady say this, Su Yun was even more satisfied.

It's good that the people in the village value this.

He said to a woman next to the man, "From the old house, bring in the freshly steamed pastries."

"Hey". The woman agreed, and went to lift the freshly steamed jujube flower buns in the large steamer.

The mouth of the whirring exhaled to the side, which showed that the pot was very hot.

Grandma turned to Su Yun, her small face was not old at all, and she smiled at Su Yun: "It's time to be hungry when you come by car all the way, eat some steamed buns first, and wait for the men to come back and start the banquet."

Then grandma seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Su Yun again: "The steamed bun is very noisy and soft, and the steamed bun in the eighth family is a must, does the baby want to eat it?" ”

Su Yun looked at Grandma's kind and nervous expression, thinking that it was probably Grandpa Tang or Tang Yidong who told her about her physical condition?

Also, maybe they always feel like a porcelain doll that will fall down when they walk, and now they are the most nervous, and they should be watched by the big grandmother gang.

Su Yun's face was a little red.

"I'm hungry, I can smell the steamed buns."

When grandma heard her say this, she laughed happily.

The kind smile is like the wheat waves blown by the wind on the plain, and the layers make people feel auspicious in their hearts.

Su Yun's words were not to make the old man happy.

Maybe she's related here?

Maybe Tang Yidong lived here when she was young, so the picky ghost in her stomach is used to coming here?

In short, Su Yun was very worried about not being able to eat anything before, which would sweep everyone's interest, but now that he looks at it, he seems to be a little too worried.

Su Yun only hoped that Aunt Zhang's recuperation would finally play a role in her and let her end the morning sickness period early.

When you eat, don't throw up, just keep your appetite up.

The air was filled with the smell of steaming steamed buns, and Su Yun was really hungry when she smelled it.

"Babies like to eat steamed buns".

"I thought people in the south liked to eat rice."

"Didn't Uncle Sixth like to eat steamed buns when he was a child, what's so strange about this."

"That's right, this shows that the girl likes us here."

There are elders and low-ranking aunts behind him, all whispering.

They all expressed the joy of "it's our family" to Su Yun.

Su Yun wiped his sweat silently.

Touched his stomach.

Baby, if you want to fight for your mother, you can't vomit.

I felt like I was listening to it for a long time, and my accent was about to change.

Opened the curtain of the blue cloth and blue flower and entered the main house, Su Yun was put on the kang by the grandmother, a series of enthusiasm, Su Yun didn't pay attention to when his shoes were placed under the kang.

In the side room of the main house, it was full of people after a while, and a group of eyes looked at Su Yun.

Most of them were daughters-in-law in the village, and a few old ladies who were sitting just wanted to light a fire and smoke a dry tobacco pouch.

was stopped by the grandmother: "Don't choke the baby."

"Miles to miles".

He knocked on the soles of his shoes and extinguished the smoke.

Su Yun learned from her grandmother, and also sat cross-legged on the kang.

was praised by the people around him: "I look at the people sitting like the people in our plains."

"Miles to miles".

Su Yun: "......"

The faces of the older women who were looking at them were all red.

The point is that this group of aunts has watched her dozens of times, why are they still watching.

A "poof" sound broke the brief silence in the room.

"You see that you are all shy about the bride, this is not the day of the wedding, when you put on your makeup, don't you all look at it, when the time comes, Xiaoliu will be angry."

The speaker is the granddaughter-in-law of the grandmother, a woman in her thirties, who seems to be more lively than the grandmother.

Grandma introduced by the way: "This is my daughter-in-law of Yisheng, the same generation as you, you are at home, you can find her if you want to eat or want." ”

After speaking, he scolded the woman: "Don't make fun of your brother and sister, take care of your brother and sister."

The woman smiled and said yes.

The eldest grandmother is not a person of good words, but she just saw that everyone only stared at Su Yun for a while, and she was afraid that Su Yun would be young and restrained, so she opened her mouth to evacuate the quiet atmosphere in the house.

"Sheng'er and Dong'er had a good time when they were young, after Dong'er returned to Beijing, my grandson often went to the village entrance to look, I asked him, said, baby, what are you looking for, you know what he said, this stupid boy said, Yidong promised him, as long as he went to the village every day to wait, he would come back after three months."

The eldest grandmother grabbed a handful of longan and peanuts and put them into Su Yun's hands.

"Peel and eat, you're welcome".

Su Yun didn't know, so she took it, and Aunt Zhang, who had been following her silently, hurriedly took the longan over, and smiled at the grandmother: "I've been in Beijing for a long time, and my aunt doesn't care about me anymore, and this longan has rewarded me."

Generally, pregnant women are deficient and have internal heat, which is not suitable for eating longan, and Su Yun's body is even more yin deficiency, so they can't eat longan.

Grandma was interrupted by her, so she paid attention, took a look at the glasses, and said with a smile: "It's Guochang's daughter-in-law, this ability to fight has not changed, you hide behind the bride and don't give me a greeting, but now it is said that the eldest lady doesn't hurt you anymore, come, give you enough to eat."

It turns out that Aunt Zhang is also the daughter-in-law of the clan, and she has never heard of her.

The old lady smiled and stuffed her with a handful of longan.

Grandma's granddaughter-in-law sat next to Su Yun and also made a fun conversation: "My man used to be very good with your man."

Su Yun blushed slightly.

When people here talk about their own men, all men are used to it, but Su Yun was slightly ashamed when he heard it, maybe he wasn't used to it.

whispered to grandma: "Later, three months later, have you waited?" ”

As soon as Su Yun opened his mouth to speak, everyone was boiling again.

"Huh".

"It's strange that it's not easy to speak, this voice is like a white spirit bird, it's really good."

"Yes, it sounds like a southerner, no wonder people say that southerners are different from us."

"That's right, this woman must have read a lot of books, otherwise she wouldn't even have such a good voice."

"Uncle Six is really blessed."

"Miles to miles".

Su Yun: "......"

She's going to be proud, she's really going to be proud.

Grandma smiled: "Yidong understands that kid's temperament, don't say let him wait for three months, with that kid's dry temper, he can't wait for three days, and when he comes back, he packs up a small package, saying that he wants to go to Beijing to find Yidong, and I beat him back to the house with a feather duster."

Su Yun thought that when he looked back just now, there was a swarthy man, in the autumn when the temperature began to cool down after noon, he was only wearing a white cotton vest, exposing two thick arms, and wrapping his arms around Tang Yidong's shoulders.

Probably that is Tang Yisheng.

Su Yun asked with a smile, "Why doesn't Brother Yisheng go to Beijing?" ”

Grandma's smile was slightly suffocated, and she regained her heartiness: "What is the point of that stunned boy, let him go to Beijing to harm his uncle's house."

Su Yun didn't want to say anything about it, so she didn't say it again.

"Hot, hot," shouted a cheerful woman's voice through the curtain.

Hearing this, everyone got out of the way to the kang.

The eighth daughter-in-law brought the bamboo basket to the table, and there were several kinds of steamed buns in it.

"This is a flower bun, when I got up in the morning, I deliberately steamed a lot, and left it for the sixth uncle and daughter-in-law - hey, look at me, it was specially reserved for the sixth aunt to eat."

"The young daughter-in-law likes this kind of small animal-shaped bun the most."

Flower buns are exquisitely made, more laborious, and only do it during sacrifices and festivals or weddings and funerals.

Most of the skillful daughters-in-law make animal shapes of different shapes, and there are requirements for the heat of the handmade and steamed buns, otherwise they will be easy to get out of shape, and the kneaded flower buns will not look good.

"What they took away was the sacrificial 'snake plate', which was a solid noodle, a little rabbit and a little carp that I made for my sixth aunt, and what was in the belly was celery meat filling."

"I washed my hands."

The eighth daughter-in-law holds a white-flour bun pinched into the shape of a cute rabbit.

Laughing and joking.

"On the day of the sixth aunt's wedding, I am making a bigger and more beautiful flower bun, pinching a dragon and phoenix auspicious flower bun, how does my grandmother look like."

Grandma pretended to blame: "Don't just say, I'll wait and see."

The eighth daughter-in-law stomped her feet: "Look at you, do I just say I don't want to do it?" ”

Everyone else laughs.

Su Yun took the bun from the rabbit and the carp.

This little rabbit is the color of a snow-white, white mask, and the little carp is dyed with a brocade color by the pigment, and the tail is fanned with a beautiful color.

It looks vivid and cute.

"This is dyeing with fruit juice color, this time I listened to my grandmother, and I didn't dare to use the general food coloring."

The eighth daughter-in-law thought that the people in the city were exquisite, so she didn't think much about it.

I promised my grandmother again.

Grandma nodded in satisfaction.

"Eat while it's hot, when the bun is cold, it's not delicious."

Twenty or thirty pairs of eyes looked at Su Yun, waiting for her feedback.

Su Yun lifted the bun and took a bite.

This steamed bun is soft and firm, and when you bite into it, it is like biting a lump of marshmallow, and it is slowly full of wheat aroma inside, and you bite into the meat filling.

Su Yun didn't want to vomit this time.

Swallowing it, it is very hungry, and when you are hungry, it will feel very fragrant.

"Nice and delicious".

Su Yun narrowed her beautiful eyes, praised very sincerely, revealing a shallow pear vortex.

The crowd that Baba was waiting for laughed too.

Although Su Yun's words of praise were simple, they made them happy.

"One look at this woman's eating appearance is blessed."

"Yes, the baby is used to eating."

"The eighth daughter-in-law should be praised this time."

"Miles to miles".

Several old ladies sitting down were talking to each other, and the daughter-in-law who brought the bun in also smiled happily.

He took out the other steamed buns from the small basket.

"There are also miles, this is jujube flower buns, this is corn cakes, and multigrain fruits. In the past, the village used to eat white flour as a blessing, but now that life is rich, everyone likes to eat cereals, and I don't make multigrain fruits for the occasion, there are pea noodles, sorghum noodles and buckwheat noodles."

Jujube flower bun is made of big red dates grown by every family in the village, the red dates on the white surface are bright, they look very beautiful and make the appearance of a flower mountain, and the miscellaneous grains and fruits are like the shape of a nest head of different colors.

There are pea yellow, buckwheat dots, purple gray, sorghum red beans, and red beans.

They are all bubbling with the aroma of grains.

"Don't eat so much, you have to eat a banquet for a while, and share it with everyone, the eighth daughter-in-law, you have no eyesight, beware of your aunt beating you for a while."

An old lady opened her mouth and pushed away the small bamboo basket handed over by the eighth daughter-in-law.

The woman smiled and said, "Look at me, I have forgotten the big guy, and I only see this fairy-like person in my eyes."

Holding a small basket, he distributed the buns inside to everyone present.

Everyone laughed as they ate their snacks.

Su Yun sat on the kang where the sun was shining on the head, her face was flushed, she didn't know if it was sunburned, or she felt that the atmosphere in the room was warm, and she laughed along.

"You see the bride also laughing, this smile I look better than the fairy, like a blessing doll."

"Yes, yes, blushing is more like."

Su Yun: "......"

Sure enough, I've seen a beautiful blessing doll again.

Looks like that's the highest compliment, huh.
