Chapter 71: Scattering Sacrifices to the Ancestors

"Dad," Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "I just asked Yuan Fang to make twenty plowshares, what is there to do, you are too careful." ”

"Twenty? What do you do with so many plowshares? There are only eleven cows in our family, so how much do we use, and don't we still have an old plow at home? "Liu is a little angry, the most unaccustomed thing in his life is this word waste, although their Liu family now has a little spare money, but they can't squander it like this? Lao Liu opened his mouth and persuaded Liu Yiyi: "Yiyi, although you made some silver money a few days ago, you can't do this..."

"Father," said Liu Yiyi, stopping the old willow's words, "the plough I want to make is different from the old plough at home, and it will be much faster to plow than all the plowshares used now, and the land that used to take you a day to plough can be ploughed in only two hours with the new plowshare, and you will know when I get the plowshare back in two days." ”

"As for why I ordered twenty plowshares, Dad, do you think that thirty hectares of land, plus your one hundred and twenty acres, only eleven ploughing oxen, is enough? So I thought I'd go buy a few more in a few days. It's best to get twenty heads, so that you don't lose time when you plough them. ”

"Uh," Lao Liu was speechless by Liu Yiyi's words, and Nuo Nuo nodded and said, "You have a point, Daddy didn't think it through." ”

It is no wonder that Lao Liu has been busy in those 120 acres of fields all his life, and he used to rent other people's ploughing cattle after others were busy, or simply go to the field to pull the plough himself, and it was already his biggest dream to have his own ploughing cattle at that time. Now that their family has eleven ploughing oxen, he is already so happy that he seems to have fallen into the sky, how dare he think more?

"But the plow you're talking about is really going to be that good? A day's work can be done in two hours, is there such a good plowshare? Lao Liu didn't believe it, just like when people used to grind wheat with stone rolls, when they first heard that there was such a machine as a threshing machine in this world, they were skeptical, seriously skeptical.

Liu Yiyi shrugged his shoulders, this kind of thing said a hundred words with his mouth, and it was not enough for him to take a look. So he didn't bother to rub his tongue with Lao Liu, but said to Lao Liu: "Dad, it's not up to me whether it's easy to use or not, anyway, Yuan Fang, the plowshare, has already made seven or eight of them, and I'll pull them back another day and you will know by trying them yourself." ”

"Well, this one makes." Lao Liu nodded and said. If there were such a plow, wouldn't it be very quick to plough in the future.

At this time, Liu He came out of the back room with Liu Xiaohui in his arms, and when he saw Liu Laoshi, he asked anxiously: "Old man, is the marriage really done?" The Zhang family, they agreed? ”

"Of course!" As soon as he mentioned this, Lao Liu became happy again and said: "The date has been set, April 15, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is appropriate to get married." When that day comes, we will have a daughter-in-law and children. Hahaha...."

"Okay, okay, just settle down." Liu He also giggled, how many years of anticipation, finally came to hope. She looked at Liu Yiyi, nodded her head constantly, and said, "Well, my son is finally going to get married, and he is an adult." No, I'm going to have to get ready and make two decent clothes, a hat, and boots. The bridegroom can't dress too shabby. Also, prepare some for Chu Chu, as well as future children. ”

As soon as he sat down, Liu He explained to Liu honestly: "Old man, tomorrow you go to the county to buy a few beautiful flower cloths and come back, and tomorrow I will start to prepare, three months, well, enough for me to make several sets." It can't delay them from worshipping heaven and earth. Also, quilts and furniture must be replaced with brand new. Great luck, a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren. ”

"Well, well, it makes sense, it makes sense, I'll buy it tomorrow!" Lao Liu kept nodding.

"And!" The second eldest of the Liu family also stood up at this time and said: "There is also the problem of the house, if the eldest brother marries his sister-in-law and comes back, then where do I live?" You can't still sleep with your big brother, right? ”

"You stinky boy!" Lao Liu slapped Liu Ertiao's head, and scolded angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you will naturally sleep in the study when you arrive, anyway, the study has always been idle, and it is just enough for your mother to collect it for you." ”

Liu Erjo covered his head and pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Lao Liu's arrangement. But he didn't dare to raise an opinion in his heart. Lao Liu's slap is not vegetarian.

There are still a few months left in the marriage, and they are in such a hurry now, as for it?

Where Liu Yiyi sits, watching where the second elder of the Liu family is discussing and discussing, and even who to invite at the wedding, how to write the gift sticker, how many dishes to serve when the guests are entertained, and what to serve each dish, they all give a clear understanding of the plan, and the degree of dedication and the strong sense of responsibility of being a parent are really admirable.

In the end, seeing that it was getting late, but the old Liu couple didn't have the intention of stopping, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but remind: "Dad, mother, we will worship our ancestors in a while, do you think we will do a good job of sacrificing first, and then talk about this marriage?" ”

It was only then that Liu Laoshi and Liu He realized that it was already late.

Knowing that tonight was the last night of this year's ancestor worship, Liu He took Liu Xiaohui into the stove room and prepared sacrifices and dinner. Lao Liu also stood up, respectfully refilled an incense plant in front of the ancestral tablet, and then said to Liu Yiyi: "Today I can successfully set this family business for you, thanks to the protection of the ancestors, you have to kowtow to the ancestors two more times when you worship the ancestors at night." ”

"Got it, Dad." Although he scoffed at Lao Liu's statement, on the surface, Liu still responded. After all, it is now in ancient times, and people attach great importance to the teaching of etiquette and law, if they don't respect their ancestors and don't understand filial piety, it's no wonder that Lao Liu doesn't break his legs.

"Well," Lao Liu nodded, and said, "Didn't you say that you want to buy a few more ploughing cattle, and you can go with me when you go to the county seat tomorrow." Spring ploughing will soon be held, and there will be more cattle sellers these days. In addition, by the way, let's visit your Uncle Yang again, he has always taken good care of you, and you are engaged to such a big happy event, you must know that you will meet him. ”

"What my father said is very true, and I will go with my father tomorrow." Liu Yiyi softly agreed.

Less than two moments later, Ryu was ready to stop everything. The wine, meat, fish, and grain used for the sacrifice were placed on the incense table. Liu Laoshi took the lead, and everyone first gave the ancestors an incense. Then the whole family knelt under the incense table. Kowtow to the ancestors on the incense table, pray for blessings, and thank you.

This time, Liu Yiyi heard Liu Lao's words when he worshiped his ancestors.

"Liu Fengkai, a descendant of the unscrupulous, took the family to worship the ancestors. May the ancestors bless my Liu family of five, and be safe, happy, and free from illness and disaster in the new year. ...., the eldest son Liu, today by the ancestors of the mercy, to set the fate of the marriage, and the Zhang family to marry the Qin and Jin, I hope the ancestors can bless, a son as soon as possible to extend the Liu family incense. ...., not Xiao descendants Liu Fengkai respectfully! ”
