Chapter 36: Passing the Dragon Boat Festival

Siqi nodded and said with a smile, "Of course it's good, when I earn money, I will let my grandmother live a good life, let's live in a big house and eat delicious food every day." ”

Wu was naturally happy when he heard this, at this time, he just thought that the child had filial piety, and he said these words to make her happy, and he didn't know what he really thought in his heart.

Siqi put the zongzi leaves in his hand on the table, and said distressedly, "Mother, I really don't know how to wrap it, I don't want to wrap it." ”

Xuan's smiled, "You, you just can't sit still, okay, if you don't like to pack this, go outside, let's just wrap it, this looks a lot, but we also have a lot of people, and it will be finished in a while." ”

Siqi nodded, and ran outside happily, Du Shi said in a weird way on the side, "Third brother and sister, Siqi is now nine years old, and she doesn't want to get married in a blink of an eye, but she can't do the same work in her hands now, you have to teach it, otherwise how will you marry someone in the future?" Even if you get married, don't people want to say that our Lin family's girl is not good? ”

A mother, who would be happy to hear such words, but because Wu was on the side, Xuan's words didn't speak too seriously, just smiled slightly.

"The second sister-in-law is better to worry about her son's affairs than to worry more about her own two boys, I think Zilong and Zijie are getting more and more naughty now, and they can't care about it when they grow up after they don't teach."

Du Shi glanced at the Wu family, and said in his heart that the Xuan family said this about Zilong Zijie, didn't my mother still think she heard it?

That's the grandson of the Lin family, could it be that the kid is not as good as a stinky girl? She really couldn't understand it more and more.

The zongzi were wrapped and hung on the shelf, Wu said, "Tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival, the academy should be to rest, and you have to send the zongzi today, if you wait until Zijun Zikang and they come back from school to send it, maybe Mr. will close the door and go home, and send it over later." ”

Meng Shan smiled and said, "Grandma, I'll send it over, it's not far anyway, just go home with the two of them." ”

Meng Shan is a rule-abiding person, and Wu is also relieved, nodding, taking the basket to load her things, and picking up ten duck eggs.

"Big girl, be careful on the road, don't break the duck eggs."

Meng Shan smiled and nodded, "Grandma, I know, don't worry." ”

Du Shi looked unhappy again, "Mother, I have given so many zongzi, why do you still take duck eggs?" Our family has to eat something good for the holidays. ”

Wu glared at her, "You are indispensable, tomorrow the family will boil duck eggs to eat, and when your son has a chance, let Mr. like him in the academy, and I will also prepare a gift for Mr. ”

Zijun and Zikangnian's school is in the countryside, only seven or eight miles away from Tongxin Village, and they will arrive soon, and it is not yet time to get out of school, and Meng Shan didn't bother them after she arrived, just waiting outside.

The hour was almost up, and it was noisy inside, so she hurriedly carried the basket to the door, and when she saw Zijun Zikang, she waved at them.

The two of them ran over, and Zijun smiled and said, "Why did the eldest sister come over?" ”

Meng Shan took the basket to him, "This is a festival prepared by grandma, for sir, let me bring it now, you go and bring it to sir." ”

Zijun nodded with a smile and took the basket, "Okay, you guys wait here for a while, I'll go and get it to Mr. now." ”

He and Zikang are brothers, this is known to everyone, and Mr. also knows, so there is no need to pull Zikang with him to send things at this time.

Meng Shan and Zikang stood at the gate of the academy, and many people who came out of the academy looked over, Meng Shan was very embarrassed, and quickly turned her head to the courtyard wall.

Zikang also saw it, blocking her in front of her to prevent people from looking at her, and the unmarried girl had to pay attention.

Some of these students are already quite old, and they are about to reach the age of marriage, so they whistle at Meng Shan at this time, which makes Meng Shan's face red.

Zikang stood in front of her and said angrily, "These people are too much. ”

Fortunately, the other party didn't do anything, just whistled and left.

Zijun came out of the academy, and when he saw this, he understood what was going on, and frowned and said, "I really shouldn't have let my eldest sister come over today, we should have a trip later." ”

Meng Shan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to get out of school in a while, let's go home quickly." ”

The three of them went all the way home, and no one mentioned it, so there was no need to say it to worry the family, and besides, they didn't cause any trouble.

The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the children at home are very happy when they go to bed this night.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, grandma will cook salted duck eggs for the family, and they can't eat them on weekdays.

The ducks laid eggs at home are to be put there and taken to the town to exchange money, and if it is someone's birthday, they will cook one, and they will not eat it at other times.

At a time like the Dragon Boat Festival, anyone can eat one, which is very much expected for children.

This morning, the family got up, and today Zijun Zikang didn't have to go to school, and he was busy with it.

Lin Changyuan has already gone to the mountains to cut wormwood and calamus back, and today the cut is the freshest, hanging upside down at the door of the house, and some are also hung in the yard.

The stove house was already busy, thinking that he got up early and had nothing to do, so he went to see the pepper seedlings in the field, went to the silkworm room for a turn, and then walked around the yard, waiting for breakfast.

Wu took out a handful of multicolored ropes and beckoned the children to come over with a smile, "Hurry up and tie the colorful ropes, you have to tie them to your hands, and you can only take them off and throw them away when it rains." ”

Siqi is quite curious about this, she also knows the custom of tying colorful ropes during the Dragon Boat Festival, but this custom in the previous life is not so good to inherit, only in some regions, and it should be the same all over the country in the early days.

The multicolored rope has the purpose of warding off evil spirits, and it is customary to untie it from the wrist and throw it in the rain during the first rain, so that it can take away the pain of the body and bring good luck for the year.

This rope can't be tied by herself, Si Yao tied her sister first, and then asked her sister to tie herself.

Siqi smiled and said, "This rope is really well braided." ”

Si Yao smiled slightly, "This is made by my little aunt, and my little aunt is the most beautiful at making these things, and her hands are very skillful." ”

Siqi nodded, thinking in his heart, the little aunt is indeed skillful and good-looking, and she doesn't know what kind of person she wants to marry in the future.

At this time, a woman like my little aunt, whoever marries home is a blessing, but my little aunt's temperament seems to be quite gentle, and she won't be bullied in the future, right?

So, even for the sake of these girls in the family, you have to work hard, you have the ability in your own family, and the woman can get straight when she marries, and her mother's family is the backer of the woman.
