Du Niang thought that her daughter was crying because she couldn't eat, and coaxed Du Xiaoxi to see that she didn't eat, so she beckoned Brother Du to catch the car.

Accompanied by the green rice fields all the way, the ox cart drove leisurely into Dujia Village.

Dujia Village is very large, and almost all of the more than 100 families are Du clansmen. Du Xiaoxi's home is located at the head of the village, near the intersection of the river.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, the third brother Du and the fourth brother immediately came out to help with the things.

"I'm back, Dalang's daughter-in-law, Erlang's daughter-in-law is here to cook!" Grandma Du Zhou came out of the kitchen and beckoned her granddaughter-in-law to help.

Du Xiaoxi was carried into the house by Du Niang, and the layout of the home was similar along the way.

The courtyard of the Du family is very large, and the most conspicuous thing is a few large iron pots in the yard. The Du family usually collects pigs in his hometown with a few younger brothers, kills pigs, and transports them to shops in Shanshui County every morning to sell, so most of the guys who kill pigs are in their hometown.

There are three main rooms, the small one in the middle is the living room, the one on the east side is where Grandma Du Xiaoqi lives, and the one on the west side is where Brother Du lives with his daughter-in-law Zhao E. Du 4, Du 5, and Du 63 slept in the east wing. Next to the wing room is a low cooking shed, and next to the rice shed is a low wooden shed to store sundries.

Du Niang directly carried Du Xiaoxi into Grandma Du's house. There are many Du families, and the house is tight, and the hometown did not leave a house for Du Cheng and his wife. Every time the two came back, Du Niang lived with her mother-in-law, and Du Dad worked with his sons.

Zhang Qiaoer and Ma Hongmei picked up the vegetables they bought in the car and went to the kitchen, Grandma Du saw the two of them come in, and said to Zhao E in the kitchen: "Sanlang daughter-in-law, you go and rest for a while, you two add another cold salad and make two bowls of egg custard for Huzi and them." Seeing that Du Cheng brought back dozens of baked cakes, he continued: "Wait a while, all these baked cakes will be on the table, and a few more steamed buns will be enough." ”

Zhang Qiaoer and Ma Hongmei nodded, and when they saw their mother-in-law go back to the house, Zhang Qiaoer lowered her head neatly to work, and Ma Hongmei took a deep breath in her heart.

Grandma Du is a very ordinary mother-in-law, and she is not strict with her three granddaughters-in-law. But in front of Grandma Du, you can't be idle, otherwise you will have to be broken all day. Fortunately, Zhang Qiaoer and Ma Hongmei live in the county seat with Du Cheng and his wife all the year round, and the two of them do not touch the brows of their mother-in-law many times in a year.

Grandma Du is also a person who takes special care of calves, as long as she is recognized by her, the treatment is definitely different. Just like Du Niang, Du Niang was twelve years old when she first came to Du's house, and she got the eyes of her mother-in-law for a long time, and the two of them got along with their biological mother and daughter for so many years, and there was no problem of zài mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all. The same is true for Du's third daughter-in-law, Zhao E, in the past two years, Zhao E has helped Grandma Du to manage a group of men in her hometown to eat and drink, and help to serve the crops. Slowly, Zhao E was also recognized by Grandma Du, and Zhao E was obviously much better than Zhang Qiaoer and Ma Hongmei.

"Sister-in-law, look, our grandmother is real, we have been gone for more than an hour, and we are still allowed to work!" Ma Hongmei was chopping vegetables, complaining to Zhang Qiaoer that Grandma Du let them work again, and let Zhao E rest secretly.

Zhang Qiao'er frowned when she heard this, and looked disapproving: "Brother and sister, she is tired enough to take care of an old snack and drink Lazar, and she usually prepares breakfast early, but this time she must have been tired a few days ago, and she didn't rest, and my brother and sister will be filial piety in front of our grandmother, and we should do more." ”

Ma Hongmei muttered in her heart, are you filial? He bowed his head and said no more.

After a simple breakfast, Grandma Du held a red sachet and hung it around Du Xiaoxi's neck, and her wrists and ankles were also wrapped with red ropes.

"This sachet was when I went to the Shanshui Temple with your aunt to worship the Buddha a few days ago, and I happened to meet the host of Yuantong who was sending a few days of blessings, just let me catch up with one, and this one was brought to Xiaoxi."

When Du Niang heard this, she hurriedly stopped: "Mother, I can't help it, this should be used by yourself, my daughter-in-law has prepared a sachet for Xi'er, and I have worshiped in the Shanshui Temple, you take this with you!" ”

Grandma Du smiled, pulled away Du Niang's hand to untie the sachet on Du Xiaoxi's neck, and said helplessly: "This thing is named by the host master to Xi'er, and it is not appropriate for any of us to hold it." Seeing her daughter-in-law's puzzled face, Grandma Du said eloquently: "That day, my mother just went to incense like on weekdays, and the host master immediately gave my mother this sachet when she saw her mother, saying that it was our family congratulations to our family for winning a daughter." You say, who is this not for the little girl? ”

Du Niang listened for a while, "Master host, it's really a god!" ”

Grandma Du nodded in agreement: "Not really!" ”

A few decades ago, Shanshui County was just a small county hidden in the mountains, and the founding monk Master Duyi made a statement to the emperor at that time and dug the Grand Canal that ran through the north and south. In just a few decades, the towns along the North-South Grand Canal have developed rapidly, and the small county town of Shanshui County has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Dashang Buddhism is prevalent, temples can be seen everywhere, and the people go to burn incense and worship the Buddha on the fifteenth day of the new year. Because the North-South Grand Canal was proposed by Master Duyi to be built, the people of Shanshui County are even more grateful to the monks, and every family has to go to the temple to ask for peace in various seasons.

"Ahh Ahh ”

Du Xiaoxi smelled the aroma of wormwood and couldn't help but sneeze a few times in succession.

I'm sorry! I shouldn't have laughed at the name of the YTO host.

However, the host master, do you still have a senior brother Huitong, a junior brother Shentong!

Seeing that Du Xiaolian sneezed a few times, Grandma Du laughed happily: "Oops! Look, Xiao Xi'er is sneezing! ”

Du Niang also laughed, and after laughing, she carefully wiped off the snot squirted out by her daughter with a handkerchief.

The Dragon Boat Festival is not a small festival in the Great Shang Dynasty, with zongzi, sachets, five-color threads, and fragrant orchid baths.

Grandma Du is a person who is willing to spend money on her children and grandchildren, and the bacon in the zongzi is full of weight. A few meat dishes for lunch were also stir-fried meat instead of stir-fried meat, and when everyone ate one by one with their mouths full of oil, Du Xiaoxi was just licked by Du Niang with chopsticks dipped in some broth.

For a foodie, the most painful thing is probably toothlessness!

After eating a rare and sumptuous meal, Du Xiaoxi was carried out by Daddy Du to participate in the event.

Before the canal was opened, Shanshui County was high and dangerous, even if there were many rivers, the custom of dragon boat racing began to rise after the canal was built. Before this, the competitive sports of Shanshui County to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival were very high - swimming!

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, several exciting swimming competitions are held in each village.

The competition in Dujia Village is usually divided into three games, the most important is the youth group, as well as the youth group and the children's favorite children's group that allows the teenagers to show their good figure.

The competition venue of the children's group was held in a large river more than ten meters wide not far from Dujia Village.

I saw that in the slowly flowing river, two strips of bright red cloth separated by four or five hundred meters cut off the river, and a group of teenagers of all sizes soaked in the shallow water in half of their pants.
