Chapter 43 Sacrificial Sweeping
"Little Ancestor, don't cry, if you cry again, you will have to invite the patriarch." There was no way, Song Wang's family directly softened.
It's a pity that she underestimated Shen Lan too much, Shen Lan didn't care about it at all, it was there that she completely ignored her image and cried like a child, as if she didn't alarm the patriarch and swore not to give up.
Song Wang's family had no choice but to go up and cover Shen Lan's mouth, Shen Lan, who was crying energetically, didn't pay attention, and was suddenly choked by saliva, so she could only struggle desperately to cough, is she stealing chickens or rice?
"You are not allowed to cry anymore, so I will let you go." Song Wang's desperate cover of Shen Lan's mouth, but because Shen Lan struggled so badly, he had to let go, and discussed with Shen Lan out loud before letting go, and Shen Lan was so suffocated that her face turned red, and she naturally knew in her heart that she couldn't argue with Song Wang's now, otherwise she would be suffocated to death.
So Shen Lan nodded vigorously, Song Wang's hand was released, Shen Lan immediately bent down and coughed loudly, this Song Wang's is her nemesis, she just cried, and was almost covered to death by this old woman.
When Shen Lan finally coughed enough, Shen Lan looked at Song Wang's family with injustice and timidity in her eyes, looking terrified.
"Who are you going to show this form, there is no patriarch here now, and I won't embarrass you today, wait a minute, you will take these sacrifices to the sacrifice and sweep together, and after the sacrifice is over, these things will be left, and it is not too much for me as a mother-in-law to eat some food from you, right?" The Song Wang clan didn't want to provoke Shen Lan to cry shamelessly, so he simply said it clearly, lest the Shen clan cry to death and make a fuss again.
Shen Lan thought about it, she really didn't lack this stuttering, since the Song Wang clan no longer forced her to do things other than her ability, why didn't she do it? To be honest, she doesn't want to entangle these short things with the Song Wang family every day, as long as the Song Wang family doesn't make trouble for her all day long, she will naturally not pay attention to the Song Wang family, and even occasionally treat the Song Wang family because of her reputation in front of the villagers, which is naturally under the premise that the Song Wang family does not pull back.
After thinking clearly, Shen Lan nodded, but she didn't want to give Song Wang an excuse to ask her often for food in the future, so she still pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Mother-in-law can naturally eat her daughter-in-law's food, but if her mother-in-law eats it, what should the daughter-in-law and the child in her womb do?" â
"Shen Lan, don't cry poor in front of me, I don't believe that you only steamed this bowl of rice cake, don't be too fine." Song Wang's family finally understood, and now Shen Lan is afraid that she is no longer the daughter-in-law who let herself be rounded and flattened, and naturally knows that she will not be able to please herself if she fights again.
Hearing this, Shen Lan laughed, and then said: "In this case, then these meals will be left for the mother-in-law and father-in-law to add a bowl, but the daughter-in-law has limited ability, but I am afraid that I can't often let my mother-in-law act like today, after all, when the family is separated, the daughter-in-law can be regarded as leaving the house, although the daughter-in-law is now receiving relief from her mother's family and stuttering, but she can't always be cheeky to ask for relief from her mother's family, right?" â
Seeing Shen Lan generously replying, Song Wang's heart was very congested, but he didn't want to make trouble again, attracting the onlookers of the villagers and patriarchs, so he turned around and went to Zhang Luo to collect the things that were sacrificed, in fact, compared to Shen Lan's two bowls, Song Wang's family was not much better, but it was a few pickles and a bowl of vegetarian dishes, and the best thing was to add a scrambled egg, and the two families made up eight bowls of dishes.
Song Wang replaced the big bowl brought by Shen Lan with a small bowl, returned the empty bowl to Shen Lan, and put the dishes that could not fit in the small bowl into the cupboard, and then went to the mountain to sweep the tomb under the leadership of Song Ruhai.
In fact, Shen Lan was a little embarrassed to really sweep the tomb separately, because her things were not fully prepared, and she needed wine in addition to food, but Shen Lan didn't drink alcohol, so she had to worship with Song Ruhai, otherwise it wouldn't look good.
Song Wang laid out the meals one by one, and Song Ruhai took a hoe to clean up the weeds that grew on the grave, and after burning the smoke target and letting go of the firecrackers, Shen Lan followed and planted the spirit flag, burned paper money and incense, and then kowtowed to the ancestors, and this wave was over.
After worshipping Song Wenxiang's grandparents, and then going to worship the grandparents, the whole sacrificial sweeping matter was over, and Shen Lan went down the mountain to carry a basket with empty bowls and returned home, and the Qingming sacrificial sweep passed like this.
Back at home, Shen Lan cleaned up again, got herself another lunch to eat, closed the door of her house, hid in the bedroom and took out the rags she bought before, ready to see what she could do.
The bedroom with the doors and windows closed was not bright, Shen Lan simply used a basket to load needles and threads and rags into the space, sat on the clean beach, blowing a slight sea breeze, Shen Lan opened the burden containing the cloth head, and carefully sorted out the cloth head inside.
In addition to the cotton cloth of different colors, there are also silk and satin leftovers, most of them are very small, and they are also fragmented, which is really not easy to deal with, if it was placed in the past, Shen Lan was afraid that she would not look at these things, but now she wants to find Taobao from it.
Reluctantly cleaned out some palm-sized fabrics, Shen Lan planned to make small sachets or hunchback dolls or something, as for the red-colored fabrics, she planned to make chili peppers and strawberries, as for sewing dolls, she really didn't have that ability, but she once bought animated dolls sewn with handmade cloth, but she could try to make them.
Because she wasn't sure if she would sew it, Shen Lan planned to make a chili pepper first, after all, the chili pepper only needs to sew two pieces of Yangtze River Delta cloth together, and then turn it over and fill it with cotton, and finally sew the back well, and then sew a green handle It's done, but there is something in the cotton space, she just needs to pick some.
Soon Shen Lan sewed out the prototype of a chili pepper, just like learning to make bamboo before, the original owner should be able to sew, so he can sew the fabric neatly together, and the stitches are very neat and tight.
After sewing a chili pepper, Shen Lan sewed a small doll of Bikachu again, the body and limbs of the doll did not waste much effort Shen Lan, but it was Bikachu's head that made her really hurt her mind, studied it several times, and cut a few pieces of cloth before sewing the shape of the head out, and wrapped it with small pebbles with cloth to make eyes inlaid on it, and barely made a Bikachu doll with a yellow body and a brown striped white head.
As she did more, she gradually became more and more handy, not only made a few palm-sized dolls, but also made a cloth bag, spliced together with triangular scraps of cotton cloth, and added a ruffle, which looked very beautiful.
As for the original plan of the sachet was not made in the end, but made small gourds, strawberries, peppers and peanuts, and tied them with red threads into ropes, which became small pendants that could be hung around the waist, and they looked very good.
Maybe it's because of the rise, Shen Lan actually made all the cloth heads, so that she stayed in the space for a few more days, but the time outside still hasn't passed much, so when she came out with a bag of gadgets, in fact, it didn't take long outside at all, so she packed the finished things in a cloth bag and put them in the cage, planning to wait until she went to the county to see if she could take them out and sell them.
Out of the space, Shen Lan went to the small vegetable field behind her house and walked around, and found that the vegetables planted had sprouted, and the tender green was very gratifying, but there were still some weeds that came out of these small vegetable seedlings, so Shen Lan squatted down and carefully pulled out the weeds, just pulled out the grass for a while.
Got up and stepped on the bluestone at the back door to step on the dirt on the soles of her shoes, Shen Lan returned to the house, boiled a pot of hot tea and sat in her own hall to watch the hazy spring scenery outside the house.
It's really boring to come to ancient times, there are no computers, mobile phones and the Internet, and there is almost no entertainment at all, as if there is almost nothing to do except sit and spend time here.
Raised her hand and poured herself a cup of hot tea, the tea leaves of this tea are freshly picked and freshly picked, as for where she picked it, it was naturally just picked from the space, when she followed Shen Zhao and them to pick tea, she secretly broke some tea branches from other people's tea gardens and cut them in the space, so there is an extra species called tea in her space, Shen Lan does not know how to fry tea, sometimes when she wants to drink, she picks a handful of tender tea leaves and throws them into the earthen pot of freshly boiled water, so she makes a pot of tea.
However, Shen Lan didn't drink much, on the one hand, to avoid people's eyes, on the other hand, her current body is not suitable for drinking tea, pregnant women are not suitable for drinking tea, only occasionally she can't help but want to drink a few sips, so she does this, and the tea leaves thrown into the earthen pot are also very few, try to dilute the taste, and do not drink too much.
Sitting in the room and looking at the smoke and rain outside, Shen Lan couldn't help but think of Song Wenxiang, the husband of the original owner, and didn't know what kind of person it was, but thinking of his parents, Shen Lan didn't give hope to this man, but when she thought that the other party went to join the army, if she was lucky, she might not appear in three or five years, and if she was unlucky, she was afraid that she would never meet in this life.
Shen Lan has suffered a lot of heartache since she knew the truth of her crossing, in her heart men are unreliable, even poisonous snakes and beasts, one will end up dead if she doesn't pay attention, so she is not happy in her heart that the husband of the original owner will come back, it is best not to appear from now on, so that she can live her life quietly, and naturally she will not be involved with any man in the future.
So although she knew that the husband of the original owner was a soldier at the border pass, she had always deliberately ignored the fact that the other party was in zĂ i, although sometimes she would act in the name of that person, but sincerely she had no hope for that man at all, and she also planned that if that person really came back, she would take a concubine for that person, and then live with her son herself, as for that person's affairs, she completely let go of that person's affairs and be a stranger-like couple.
