Fang Jie was angry and amused when he heard it, raised his hand and knocked on her head and said, "What strange things are you thinking about all day long, this little head?" I never gamble and drink flower wine, I bathe every night, how can I be as unbearable as you say? After he said this, he seemed to be still angry, and kissed the two red lips fiercely like punishment, and kissed Pucao's face reddened, and then let go of her and admonished, "Hurry up and admit your mistake with me!" ”

Pu Cao gasped for breath for a long time, pouted and was about to protest, when he suddenly saw that he was about to bow his head and kiss him again, he quickly reached out to cover his mouth, and apologized repeatedly, "Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to arrange you in the future." It's been so long since we've been out, you should go back quickly, Chunni should be found in a while. ”

When Fang Jie heard this, his subordinates hugged their beloved woman harder and harder, and sighed, "When will I be able to hold you in my arms openly?" ”

"There will be that day, but... Not now! Pu Cao smiled and pushed him out of the stove, turned around and added a handful of firewood under the stove, and boiled the fish soup that had been half cold again, and then put it in a big bowl and served it to the hall...

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, when the sky was dark, Chunni and her family went back to their own house.

Pu Cao also set up a small table in front of the statue of the stove king, and put a plate of sesame candy and a plate of jujube steamed buns. Zhang Guier, the only male in the Zhang family, hugged a red rooster and knelt in front of the table, kowtowed, and burned a few pieces of yellow table paper.

Pu Cao stretched out his hand and smeared hemp candy on the mouth of the king of the stove, and took the whole family to chant two sentences, "Lord of the stove, ride a red horse!" The heavens say good things, and the lower realms keep peace. Finally, Shanzi rushed to the door of the house and lit a string of firecrackers. In the crisp sound of banging, the king of the stove was dotted with joy and went to heaven to make a summary report for the whole year.

Since then, the reunion year of the Zhang family after the catastrophe has also kicked off on the first New Year of Pucao in another world.

On the twenty-fourth oil day, the Zhang and Liu families made a fortune this year, and neither Pucao nor Chunni felt sorry for the dozen catties of vegetable oil, and poured half a pot of Gu Dongdong. Dried fruits, twist flowers, fried cakes, meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, noodle fish, but all the imaginable patterns and foods were fried, and the fragrance of oil wafted out of the courtyard and overflowed the whole village. Naturally, it also attracted a large number of naughty boys, all of whom were smiling and lying at the door to probe their brains.

Pu Cao is not a stingy person, so he shouted Shanzi to take out a large plate and distribute it to the children, but Zhang Jiajun collected a string of small soldiers. Thinking that in the future, "grain and grass" will cost an extra two catties of noodles every month, Pu Cao only felt that this time he really moved a stone and hit his own feet.

Twenty-five sweep ash sheds, Zhang's family is large and small, get up in the morning and divide the work, Zhang Guier takes the mountain to sweep the yard and clear the residual snow, Pucao takes magpies and peach blossoms to tidy up the granary and warehouse, and tries to clean the entire yard spotlessly.

Twenty-six washed Fulu, a large bucket of hot water was boiled in the greenhouse, and the Zhang family, together with Chunni and his wife, took turns to take a good bath. The Chen family wanted to let the children get touched, but they were afraid that the weather would be cold and cold, so Aunt Chen personally came to greet Pucao, and at night, she asked Dali to take Fat Dun'er into the greenhouse to wash. The brothers are very sensible, and after taking a shower and waiting for their hair to dry for a while, they also helped Liu Housheng split a lot of wooden stumbling blocks.

After such a busy day, it soon came to the twenty-ninth Chinese New Year's Eve. Just after getting up early and having dinner, the Shengzi of the Lizheng family came to ask Zhang Guier to write couplets with him to the villagers, Zhang Guier readily agreed, changed into a new clothes, and rushed away with his pen and ink inkstone.

Pu Cao was thinking about the common etiquette with each family on weekdays, and at the same time commanded the magpie to load the basket.

Needless to say, Lizheng Niangzi is the first. She is the embroidery master of the peach blossoms, and she treats the peach blossoms very much on weekdays, so she always has to send a thick annual gift table to express her gratitude.

The magpie picked up most of the basket of all kinds of food, picked up two and a half pieces of silk and asked, "Madam, is the cloth made of stone blue woven moire, or royal blue lake silk?" ”

Pu Cao glanced up and said with a smile, "Baolan, Lizheng Niangzi is good at embroidery, and she just cut it to make a robe for Shengzi to wear at the beginning of school." ”

The two were discussing like this, but Chunni came in from outside the door with a strange face, she stepped forward and took Pu Cao's hand and said, "Pu Cao, she actually brought me a hen?" ”

Pu Cao was confused, and asked while reaching out to pat the snowflakes off her body for her, "Who sent the hen?" How do you say it's headless? ”

Chunni patted her chest and sat on the edge of the kang with her belly that was already slightly bulging, and then whispered, "Who else can there be?" It's my mother-in-law, just now she actually sent a hen and said that she wanted me to kill and boil soup to make up for my body. You say, is she doing something bad again? ”

Pu Cao saw Chunni's defensive look, and couldn't help but smile, "It is said that if you are a thief for one day, you will not be innocent for the rest of your life." This old lady used to treat you too harshly, and now she really wants to please you, but unfortunately, you are all tossed and scared, and you don't want to believe her anymore. ”

"No, I feel uncomfortable when I think about the things I used to do. I just don't know if I think the same way when I have a child? ”

Chunni frowned in embarrassment and hesitated, "Otherwise, if I cut two frozen fish and send them over, it will be a return gift?" ”

"Okay, don't be too enthusiastic. Let's get along like ordinary folks. After seeing people's hearts for a long time, if you feel that they have truly changed their hearts in the future, it is not too late for you to be filial. ”

Chunni got the idea, and her face immediately went to sadness. Thinking that he was going to go to the courtesy, he said a few more gossips and hurriedly ran back to prepare.

At noon, Dongzi and the king's steward drove two climbing plows to the door and pulled away all the vegetables that could be cut in the vegetable shed. Although the restaurant was closed at the end of the year, people from all walks of life almost stepped on the threshold of Nian En Garden.

They all reported a purpose, that is, to evenly return a few handfuls of greens to add some green to their own or Shangguan's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table. As a result, this green vegetable was not unsalable because the restaurant was closed, but it was even more scarce.

So busy and busy, finally on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family got up early and couldn't wait to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Most of the children in the village wore new clothes and new cotton shoes, and the naughty boys hung an extra purse on their waists, filled with more than a dozen firecrackers, pinched a few pieces of incense in their hands, and occasionally ran to the stove to pout their butts and light a fire while the adults were unprepared, and then happily gathered on the street to set off firecrackers.

Occasionally, the clumsy and careless boy dropped one or two firecrackers next to the stove, and when the women brought them into the bottom of the pot when they lit the fire, the firecrackers exploded with a "bang", and the iron pot trembled. The women were frightened and annoyed, and inevitably shouted a few words of scolding, which made the old people who were anxious to protect their grandchildren stare at them. The women had no choice but to let go of their naughty son's little ass.

The little girls are much quieter than the naughty boys, each wearing a new jacket skirt is afraid of getting dirty, and even walking must be careful not to get snowflakes on their shoes, and occasionally gather together to play is also to pick a cloth bag and galaha, sensible and well-behaved to make people doubly loved.

Because the Zhang family is still in the filial piety period, they can't paste window flowers or couplets, and can only paste two door gods and stove gods. Pu Cao always felt that there was a lot less festive taste of the New Year, which was a pity, so he turned his mind to the family's clothing.

The magpie was originally in charge of clothing and ornaments in Fangfu, and he was very familiar with the styles and colors that were popular in the city. Therefore, this time there is such an opportunity, she is determined to show her skills and show her master her skills.

So, she was busy for seven or eight days without night or night, and finally drove out all her clothes a year ago.

Shanzi's naughty boy got a set of royal blue jacket pants, the neckline and sleeves were inlaid with moon-white teeth, embroidered with shallow cloud water patterns, and he was very clean and energetic when he wore it.

The peach blossom is a plain brocade cardigan jacket, with a large peach blossom embroidered with light yellow silk thread on the chest, a light blue pleated skirt underneath, a pair of rabbit skin boots on the feet, and a circle of snow-white short hair turned out, which is really playful and cute.

The head of the Pucao family, the magpie naturally prepares the most carefully. On weekdays, Pucao is often despised because of its embarrassing identity, but this time it was unexpectedly benefited, and there is no need to be taboo about color without filial piety.

The magpie pondered for a few nights, and made a green makeup jacket for her, plus a goose yellow brocade magnolia skirt.

When she got up in the morning, the magpie served her master with great interest, put on her dress, and deftly rolled a pair of sideburns for her. At the end, the grass hairpin was inserted, and Chunni, who came to show off her red jacket skirt, looked straight at it, and shouted loudly, "Pucao, you are really a flower fairy, I feel like this when I look at it... Well, it seems that spring is coming? ”

When the magpie heard Chunni say this, she was really happier than she had been praised, and her delicate little chin was unconsciously raised.

Pu Cao saw that Chunni's hair bun was still inserted with an ebony hairpin, so she hurriedly opened the box and turned out a silver hairpin carved with magpie Dengmei, and said with a smile, "I've forgotten about the business in the past few days, Fang Gongzi brought two silver hairpins from Kyoto to us for New Year's gifts, you can quickly put this on." ”

Chunni was overjoyed, cheered and took the hairpin, put it on her head, held the bronze mirror and took it again, and finally lifted her skirt and ran to his child's father to show off, which made the grass and the magpie laugh, and then went to tie the apron and go to the stove to prepare all kinds of edible food.

After such a busy day, when the sky was about to darken, the offering table was already set up in the Zhangjiatang house. Liu Housheng divided half of the pig's head that day, and the remaining half of the pu grass was scraped clean and slightly steamed until it was three weeks cooked and placed in a large pottery plate, together with the killed rooster and the whole crucian carp, which could barely make up three animals, plus all kinds of fried goods and snacks, and piled up a small offering table.

Zhang Guier personally wrote the name of her father and brother, and pasted it on the small wooden sign that she had prepared a long time ago. When it was completely dark, Zhang Guier knelt in front of the offering table with peach blossoms and kowtowed, Shanzi didn't understand the rules of this worship and wanted to step forward to join in the fun, but was stopped by Pucao.

(When I wrote about the Chinese New Year, I suddenly missed my mother very much, and I hadn't had a reunion dinner with her for four Spring Festivals.) It is said that raising children and raising daughters prevents old age, but how many children are there who really accompany their parents when they are old? ）
