Chapter 258: I'm so happy today
The Lan family has no land and no livestock.
Peanuts and eggs have to be bought at other people's houses, and even the tables, benches and chopsticks on the day of the wine have to be borrowed from the villagers.
Peanuts and eggs are dyed with red paper soaked in water.
On the day of May 20, Lan Xiaoqing even stopped the business of pig's trotters for a day, which was also to greet the Ma family early.
However, Ma Liang still came early that day, and he not only brought two big firecrackers but also Hu Dong.
Hu Dong came back to help Lan Xiaoqing on purpose, the injuries on his body were almost healed, and he rushed to do all the dirty work.
It's rare that one day when she didn't make pig's trotters, Lan Xiaoqing felt comfortable.
In the kitchen, there are Grandma Hu with her daughters-in-law and Song Xiaohua's mother-in-law, Sun, everything is going in an orderly manner.
Lan Xiaoqing pulled Song Xiaohua to prepare tea, peanuts, eggs and sugar.
When the auspicious time came, the carpenter climbed the ladder to the house and beamed the house.
As soon as the beam is on, it's time to light firecrackers.
The firecrackers were brought by Ma Liang, and Lan Erlang asked him to light them.
On such a happy day and such an important event, where was Ma Liang embarrassed, he refused to push and refuse, but Lan Erlang lit the firecrackers himself.
There was a smile on his face that he had never seen before, and there were tears in his bright eyes.
With a crackling sound, Lan Xiaoqing felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
This scene is as lively as the New Year.
When she was young, the smell of the New Year was still very strong.
Then came the time when the children in the village were most looking forward to it.
A carpenter and a bricklayer stand on one left and one on the right side of the roof, throwing peanuts and sugar down from the air.
It is said that sugar is actually similar to cake, sweet, pinched in powder, wrapped in paper, and a piece is about the length of an adult's finger.
No one in the village has built a house to sprinkle sugar for many years, and all the men, women and children in the village have joined the team to pick up candy and peanuts.
For a while, the scene was lively.
Lan Xiaoqing even saw Lan Dabao and Lao Li in the crowd.
They didn't plan to give a salute, but they came to sprinkle sugar and pick peanuts.
Mu Ping was also rare for this bustle, and quickly grabbed a bag of candy and a few peanuts.
After tasting the sweetness, he simply squeezed into the crowd.
Mu Xian stood outside the crowd and watched, and when he raised his eyes, he could still see Lan Xiaoqing smiling.
In fact, Mu Xian's location was considered the periphery, but the red peanut that symbolized the auspiciousness seemed to have eyes, and it flew straight into his arms.
It would take a lot of effort for others to grab it, but he was good, and he took several of them while standing there without moving.
There was an elderly man who couldn't grab it, standing not far from Mu Xian, seeing this scene, he said with a smile: "Xiao Xiucai is really a blessed person." ”
Hu Dong stood in a good position, took a small handful of peanuts and a bag of candy and withdrew from the crowd, giving the opportunity to other children in the village.
After he came out, he walked directly to Lan Xiaoqing and showed Lan Xiaoqing the peanuts and sugar.
Lan Xiaoqing glanced at it and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"I didn't taste it, why didn't you taste it either?" Hu Dong asked in surprise.
"I didn't expect the whole village to come, it seems that there are a lot of children in the next village, except for the ones that are fixed for the helpers, the rest are all taken out."
"Then you can taste one first." Hu Dong directly peeled the peanuts and handed them to Lan Xiaoqing, and Lan Xiaoqing took them into his mouth.
The two of them shared another bag of sugar, you twist a little, I twist a little, and they are very happy.
Mu Xian saw this scene from a distance and felt stuffy in his chest.
