…………
At night, the burning fire, the sound of fireflies, frogs, monkeys and squirrels, watching each other, but nothing happened. Offerings are placed on the long offering table, and in the wooden house flower room on the left, a faint fragrance of flowers wafts from the offering table, and several white lotus flowers bloom in the bowl. Li Feng's family invited a lot of people today, the second grandfather and the second grandmother, Lin Lao's son, Wang Lao, Cheng Lao, Teacher Zhou and Zhou Xinran, Zhou Yan's grandparents Li Feng invited over, although he and Zhou Yan's affairs were blown, but the two old people have nothing to do with it.
Today's Daughter's Day, a girl only happens once in her life, and the bell is exactly six years old this year. Next year, Li Feng's family will definitely give the baby once, and all daughters' festivals are much more grand than others. The ceremony is simple, but the preparation is very careful. The family was busy for a long time, preparing to eat.
A few old people sat in the yard chatting, surrounded by a faint smoke, mosquitoes dare not approach, a few days ago the cuttings insecticidal trees have begun to secrete some sap, although the lethality is not big, but small mosquitoes, small cute insects, the fire burning outside the yard, smoked the surrounding mountain forest mosquitoes, in addition to a trace of smoke in the yard, a faint fragrance of flowers, mixed, a trace of saplings fragrance. A few old people were talking and laughing, eating fruits, and talking about the little bells.
The second master introduced the matters to be paid attention to on the Daughter's Day, in fact, a few old people, as long as the silk thread in their hands was put on the neck of the little girl. It was perfect, and all invited nine old people over 60 years old to baptize the little girl. Li Feng will be dressing up the bell in the house, new clothes, shoes and socks, put them on, tie a small apron, and there are still a lot of things to do when the food is served. Li Feng had to explain, and the little girl listened attentively with her eyes wide open.
"Bell, the first dish, you can't eat it, you have to divide the dish among a few grandparents, remember, there is the last dish, you have to eat, don't forget." Li Feng explained, pulled the little apron with the bell, it was very good-looking, and he was dressed like a cute little Lori servant.
Big eyes are talkative, watery, with hair tied up, bows, and small black leather shoes. The bell turned around, and Li Feng saw that it was almost cleaned up, and pulled the little girl's slightly trembling little hand. "Go, don't be afraid, it's easy." Li Feng comforted for a while, and the little girl nodded heavily.
The ceremony is very simple, there is no need to say anything, these things should have been held by the child's father, but this time it can only be led by Li Feng's brother, incense, bowing, lighting red candles, offerings, left and right three-color fruits, colorful fruits, flowers, branches, these general things. Li Feng prepared the bells early, and placed them in turn, which is quite simple to say, but the little girl may be slightly nervous, if Li Feng hadn't looked at it earlier, she almost fell.
"Don't panic." Li Feng helped to straighten it out, Zhang Lan prepared a needle and thread package, which will be put aside, the first snack, the local characteristics of egg fried rice, the bell took a small spatula and divided it into several portions, and sent it to several old people, the old man took it with a smile, and after eating the egg fried rice, the old man would hang the colored silk thread on the bowl and chopsticks, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the little girl hung the collected silk thread around her neck. Lin Ying, Liu Lan, and Zhou Xinran on the side immediately helped tie the silk thread to the bell's hair, and Zhang Lan gently combed it. For example, in the past six years old, it is already considered a big labor in the mountains, so after the age of six, the girl has to help her parents do farm work, take care of everything in the family, feed the chickens, mow the grass, clean up, take care of her younger siblings, carry water and laundry, in addition to heavy physical work, these small jobs, the girl slowly picks up these small jobs after the age of six to carry the burden of the family. ..., although the status of girls is much higher now, but they still exist in the mountains, these girls Li Feng has seen a few times, he really feels pitiful, and he admires them slightly, such girls are compared to girls in the city, maybe they don't have much culture, but they are hardworking and simple.
After the whole simple ceremony, Li Feng's family breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Li Shan brought the wine to the table, and the meal was prepared early. Everyone is familiar with it, so you don't need to be polite. But today there are a lot of people, divided into two tables, one table for young people, one table for the elderly, eating and drinking, in this somewhat cool evening, looking at the starry sky, shining starlight, looking at those mysterious extraterritorial worlds in the distance.
In the early morning, the peach forest courtyard was calm, and there was still a faint smoke from the fire outside the yard, and the birds were singing softly. The bell who got up early was cleaning the yard, and the little girl knew that she had grown up and couldn't sleep lazy, otherwise people would say that she was lazy. Li Feng pushed open the window, the fragrant air came to his face, he fell asleep in the bamboo building, it was really comfortable, two little birds were jumping on the balcony of the bamboo building, crying happily, a little water droplet, rolling on the lotus leaf, one or two stealing water birds, flashing in the lotus leaf. Water ducks and egrets chase the small fish, and the water is full of joy.
Li Feng washed his face and saw that the bell was cleaning up yesterday's garbage seriously, his little face was a little red due to labor, and yesterday's five-flavor candy, the little girl didn't cry when she ate it. Li Feng was also surprised, after hearing this, the five-flavor candy is also known as the tear candy, and few people can bear it.
"Don't get it, wash your face and read books, eat later, and go to school." Li Feng packed up the garbage and told the little girl to forget to read and study. The rest of the work in this yard, Li Feng finished it in a short time, and now the little pheasant rushed to the mountain, but he fed it once a day, but it was a duck, and he also learned to feed it, which was a bit troublesome, and there was no work in other yards in the morning.
Finally, the two little squirrels and the little monkeys led the walnuts every day, and the yard was busy, and the saplings were watered. It happened that Zhang Lan came over to call for dinner, Li Feng led the bell over, this morning Li Feng also went to the city to deliver fruits, this time the watermelon is the last time, before the greenhouse is built, watermelon, these are no way, the space is not able to see people. You can only wait for the greenhouse to come out and participate, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered.
When Li Feng came, several girls were already helping to serve the food and setting chopsticks, and the bell ran forward to help serve the food. Li Feng sat down casually, causing Zhang Lan to glare fiercely, this kid, other guests don't sit. "Xiaobao, the persimmons are picked, this time there are not as many as last time, only two baskets more, and the persimmon seedlings seem to be not good. You talk to others, this time persimmons are not good, we can't take advantage of others, the price is lowered. Zhang Lan helped everyone to serve a bowl of rice, yesterday the noodles at home were eaten again, I have to go to the town to buy, I don't know if there is any in the town, last time Li Feng went to buy noodles, the flour seller also laughed and said that the flour in the whole store was bought by your family.
In recent years, people eat dumplings during the New Year, and during the New Year, each family buys more than ten catties of flour, and few people usually buy flour. Everyone rarely eats flour, only three or two bags in a store, Li Feng's family has really eaten more pasta in the past few months, but they have eaten all the flour in other stores.
In fact, Li Feng remembered that when he was a child, Li Jiagang also planted wheat, and I don't know if the yield was too low, and no one was planting this thing later. Li Feng went to university in the north and later in Beijing, and gradually became more and more fond of pasta and rice. It's not back to be slightly unaccustomed to three meals of rice a day, buy some flour for a change of taste.
The bell still drove the small motorcycle, but Yaya came over early with a small schoolbag to wait for the bell, and the two of them were in a class. Li Feng saw the bell riding a small motorcycle and walking away with the maid, and Li Feng showed a smile on his face. Li Feng didn't stay at home, after eating, the pickup truck was opened, this time the goods were delivered, it may take a month or two next time to produce, the hillside has his father Li Shan to help these days, and the materials for building the greenhouse have been sorted out Bamboo, and there are many mountains behind his house. As for the seedling work of tomatoes, Li Feng has already done it again, sowing seeds in a moist place by the pond, watering some spring water, and transplanting them when the greenhouse is built, as for the watermelon seedlings, Li Feng is raising seedlings in a half-sized flower garden, and he wants to come for a few days. ..., familiar with the road, the car stopped at the fruit pie shop, the business of the shop is surprisingly good, the publicity some time ago, all kinds of special fruits. The pure and delicious watermelon dream journey and the beautiful tomato salad have suddenly made the shop the most talked about topic among ladies today.
"You're here, we've been out of stock for a few days." Guo Mei glanced at Li Feng angrily, although she was angry, but this person was too charming, she wanted to have a hot figure, dressed as a cowboy, and her bumpy figure was undoubtedly revealed. Li Feng wondered, didn't he have a unified uniform, and when he walked in, he realized that it was this cowboy, and the white shirt was also a uniform.
"No way, it's autumn, the watermelons and tomato seedlings are wilted, this time it may be the last time, the watermelon seedlings are pulled, and the tomatoes may still have a few hundred catties, but the seedlings, the quality is a little worse, do you want to, don't, my mother wants to make tomato chili sauce." Li Feng said while carrying the watermelon, this time Li Feng got more than 20 large watermelons from the space, and the people around him showed a trace of surprise when they saw Li Feng holding the watermelon.
"Yes, don't say hundreds of catties, we want dozens of catties, you don't know how hot tomatoes are during this time. And watermelon, hey, this watermelon is so big, why haven't I seen it so big a few times before. Guo Mei helped carry a small bamboo basket, which was filled with crispy melons, melons, and small melon seeds.
"Hehe, these watermelons are hidden under the melon seedlings, this time I pulled the melon seedlings and got dozens of big melons, and they were all sent to you, and the taste is definitely better than before." Li Feng casually made up a reason, but the taste of this person is really right, these big melons are watered by the most central spring, and in the end, Li Feng saw that the melons grew too big, so he had to reduce the spring watering.
"Really? That's great, kill one quickly, I'll try it, I won't eat it for a few days, I'm really thinking about it. Guo Mei smiled and helped Li Feng put the watermelon down, but unfortunately this person was too small to look at the watermelon, fifty or sixty pounds each, and this person was very difficult to move to the small kitchen. Xu Yali and Jiang Lili were stunned when they saw it, such a big watermelon.
"Don't look at it, kill it quickly, this melon is a good thing hidden by this person." Guo Mei's words surprised Li Feng, but no, these watermelons have been hidden by himself for a long time. When Jiang Lili heard this, she was curious, the three of them were safe, and finally killed the watermelon, it was so red that it was attractive, sandy, and watery, and the customers in the store saw it, and they intuitively felt that this melon was very sweet. Many people shouted, boss, have a watermelon salad.
