Chapter VII New Year's Closure
It's the middle of winter, and the end of the year is approaching little by little-----
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, every household began to prepare for the New Year.
There is a lack of entertainment facilities in ancient times, and the atmosphere of the New Year is much thicker than now, Sheng Yun has accumulated a total of nearly two thousand Wen in these days, Sheng Yun looked at the non-stop silly music, she is used to being poor, although this money is not an astronomical amount, but in her eyes, it is already rare. Sheng Ling'er didn't feel anything, it was true that she lived in the deep mountains and old forests, but it didn't mean that she had no money, they usually made a lot of money with a single order, and the master could not only do things, but also look at feng shui, and he had a bit of prestige in the local area.
However, she is not interested in feng shui, but after learning fur, she is already considered to have entered the house in martial arts, so she generally receives orders in addition to being with her master, which is to be the 'bodyguard' of some important people.
Sheng Ling'er is ready to wear it for the first year.
She herself doesn't care about the festival, in modern times, she and her master live in the mountains, and the two of them are really unnecessary, and then they live as usual. But Sheng Yun hasn't had a decent year since the death of his parents, basically the nest is gone, Sheng Ling'er looked at Sheng Yun's yellow and thin little face, and felt that this is not good, since she is her sister, she can't let her be like before.
She bought a few pieces of red paper, wrote them in couplets and hung them outside the door.
Sheng Ling'er looked at her house outside the door, and she was quite satisfied, and now she has a little bit of the New Year's Eve.
She ran to two villages, in exchange for some beef and mutton, plus the pheasants and rabbits she had hunted a few days ago, enough to eat for several days, Sheng Ling'er was just about to enter the door with the meat, but saw Aunt Yu standing outside the door, so she walked over.
She sent some sweet potatoes and cabbage, and Sheng Ling'er was willing to help her, so she asked, "Do you want to bring Zixi with her?" ”
Aunt Yu's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she still refused for a while.
"I'll just be in my own room."
Sheng Ling'er saw what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I'll help you say, he doesn't dare to do anything." ”
Aunt Yu naturally understood who Sheng Ling'er was talking about, but she still shook her head, with a gloomy look on her face, since she was married to Sheng Laosan, she was even so old now, what else could she do, Sheng Ling'er could protect it for a while, but she couldn't protect it for a lifetime, and when Sheng Laosan started a fire, it was not herself who was unlucky......
Sheng Ling'er saw that she was unwilling, and she was not reluctant.
She is good at beating people, but if Aunt Yu has no sense of resistance in her heart, no matter how much she helps, it will be in vain, thinking of Zixi, even if he has a cold temperament, she can't help but feel a little worried about him.
Early in the morning, Sheng Ling'er began to get busy.
Although she used to live in isolation, but because her master is a 'foodie', but the things he makes are really unbearable, and the gods have to ascend to heaven after eating them, Sheng Linger had no choice but to do it twice and instructed her every day, in order not to starve the two to death, she finally learned some home-cooked food.
She chopped several fillings, including beef, mutton, and added salt, ginger, and soy sauce to stir them together, and Sheng Yun was stunned, she had seen other people's homes, but at most it was wild vegetables and a little bit of diced meat, how could there be so much meat, and she had grown up with a small mouth at the moment.
This night's Sheng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is two bowls of dumplings with different fillings, a bowl of braised hare, a bowl of fried cabbage, and a bowl of egg custard, if this is in modern times, it is nothing special, and it doesn't even look very rich, but in the Sheng family, it is already rare, especially dumplings, Sheng Ling'er's hand strength is not small, the filling is tendony, the skin is thin and tough, a bite is full of fragrant gravy, Sheng Yun only feels that he has never eaten such a delicious thing, and finally he doesn't even lift his head.
············
Some people are happy and some are worried.
They are comfortable this year, but some people are so angry at home that they can't even eat.
The biggest reaction is naturally Sheng Laosan, he has a hard time getting off the ground these days, he is a person who can't be idle at all on weekdays, so he can't get out of bed every day, it's really worse than killing him.
"Let's eat."
Aunt Yu served him rice, and when she saw that his face was not good, she didn't dare to say anything at all.
She didn't speak, Sheng Laosan couldn't find a place to breathe, but it was even more uncomfortable, and suddenly her panting was a little heavier, she sandwiched the food for Zixi and was about to send it.
Sheng Laosan didn't look at it happily, that little cub, not to mention eating inside and out, now he can't eat, this clearly doesn't take him in his eyes, thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Let him come by himself, such an adult, don't you have long hands?" ”
Aunt Yu couldn't help but whisper: "Baby, eat a meal, you ······"
"----- turned against you!"
Teacher Sheng threw the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the hot meal suddenly splashed Aunt Yu's body, she shrank first, and then the grievances also came up, which she had worked hard to prepare early in the morning, and it was all gone.
She gritted her teeth, looked at Sheng Laosan's fierce face, held back, squatted down and cleaned it up······
She didn't want to quarrel, but Sheng Laosan didn't do this, instead, there was a faint pain in the parts of his body, which made his face ugly tight, and when he thought that Sheng Ling'er was looking for trouble with herself because of her relationship, the more she looked at Aunt Yu, the more she was in the eyesway, and she couldn't help kicking up!
"Unlucky!"
Aunt Yu was able to stand up to Sheng Laosan's strength, and she was immediately kicked to the ground and didn't get up for half a day.
Sheng Laosan looked at her face, and also realized that he was heavy, but he couldn't pull his face small, and said in a rough voice: "What are you pretending, you can't get up if you don't die." ”
Yu Meihua was kicked by him, and her back hurt for a while, and she couldn't help but scream 'oops' when she heard Sheng Laosan's voice.
Sheng Laosan and Jade Plum Blossom are from a village, he also liked it when he married Jade Plum Blossom, Jade Plum Blossom's face is the whitest in the village, and his figure is also good-looking, but after Sheng Laosan married back, bad luck happened one after another, this like it faded, and sometimes he regretted it when he hit it hard, at this time, it was like this, he couldn't go on if he had fire, and scolded: "Bad luck!" ”
And he went into the house.
At this time, Zixi just came in and saw this scene with his eyes.
He immediately ran over.
At a glance, he knew what was going on, it was a common thing at his house, Zixi helped Aunt Yu up and carefully put it on the stool.
Inside, Sheng Laosan heard the movement, knew who it was, didn't care, and continued to walk inside.
He likes the kind of tiger head and tiger brain, looks like a spirit, unlike this, he is as thin as a little monkey, he can't beat a fart with three sticks, he has never put this little cub in his eyes, and usually doesn't even look at it.
"Stop."
The young man's cold voice came from outside, and Sheng Laosan turned to look at him, he was really surprised.
When did the little cub dare to speak so loudly, Sheng Laosan said incredulously: "What did you say?" ”
The young man flashed a ray of timidity, and took a step back before saying, "Are you beating your mother again?" He said this in a very small voice, and he had no confidence at all.
It turned out to be the same as before, Sheng Laosan suddenly stood tall on his toes, walked over with his thick and fat hands on his waist, and said in his mouth: "What if you fight, you are not a good person like this girl, you are happy during this time." ”
The more he spoke, the angrier he became: "Don't think I don't know, you wish I was dead." He scolded at Yu Meihua: "Don't you want to leave me to find another one, slut!" ”
Zixi clenched his fists······
Yu Meihua was so angry that her face turned red, if she didn't dare to do it normally, but at this moment she replied to Sheng Laosan: "For so many years, I got up before dawn to serve you to eat and wash clothes, which point is not thoughtful, where am I sorry for you!" You make it clear, what do you want me to die for?! "She's kind of out of the way.
I didn't expect her to dare to shout, Sheng Laosan couldn't hold it on his face, and his hand slapped over!
"Don't!" When Zixi came over, Sheng Laosan didn't care at all, but gloated and thought, come here, slap you to death······
What he didn't expect was that instead of being fanned by him, Zixi hugged his hand----- and Sheng Laosan's hand somehow couldn't exert his strength, Sheng Laosan still didn't believe in evil, although his hand couldn't move, half of his body was exerting force, his face was red, and even the green tendons burst out!
Zixi seemed to be defenseless, and was forced to let go of his hand all of a sudden, and Sheng Laosan was caught off guard and fell down with his head up, "Bang! He slammed into the ground.
"Ahh Sheng Laosan's fall was not light, and he grinned in pain, not to mention how aggrieved he was.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zixi's eyes, but his face was timid: "I didn't mean to." ”
"You -----"
Yu Meihua was afraid that he would have to do something, so she hurriedly let Zixi go to her house.
----- said that it was a house, but in fact, it was a bed in the grain storage all over the ground, Zixi occupied only a corner of the ground, he covered the door and looked outside, in case Sheng Laosan suddenly broke out and hurt people, so he could help his mother.
But Sheng Laosan didn't have much strength to find trouble after being helped to the bed, but he was ruthless in his heart, and he must beat this little cub hard one day!
Sheng Ling'er didn't worry about it in the end, she came over to take a look at it on the first day of the first year, and saw that Yumei Blossom was walking in an awkward posture, so she knew it when she asked twice, and sneered: "You really deserve it!" ”
Her voice was not small, Sheng Laosan heard it inside, and was just about to scold, thinking of Sheng Ling'er's methods, she forcibly held back the swear words, but she could hear her talking to Zixi outside: "Next time, you go directly to me, I can beat him once, naturally I can beat him twice, see if he dares to hit someone in the future!" ”
Sheng Laosan's face flashed fiercely, and he said in his heart: "Don't think that I can't beat you, I can't do anything about you, Lao Tzu must let you know this time!" ”
Seeing that Aunt Yu's house was in a mess, Sheng Ling'er estimated that they hadn't eaten anything, and invited the two to their own house for dinner, and Sheng Laosan, who was left, was in pain and hungry in bed, he didn't eat at noon, and it was night, and he didn't care about drinking and eating meat at every meal, so he went to the kitchen to touch the head of the nest directly, and at the same time, his resentment towards Sheng Ling'er was even more irrepressible······
