Chapter 105 Honglin sends tea baskets
"It's okay, you learn to do it. Take the meat off and wash it in hot water. Luo Furong pointed to a piece of bacon hanging on the stove and said, Luo Lihua took the meat down and found a basin to wash the meat.
When she finished washing, Luo Furong instructed her to cut the meat into slices.
"Haha, it turns out that cutting meat is not easy." Luo Lihua looked at the unevenly cut slices of meat and said. "That's because you cut less, and when you do more later, you will naturally cut well. Let's go check it out, the sausages should be good. So saying, the sisters went out of the stove room......
The two of them worked in the stove room for a while, and finally made four dishes that Luo Furong and Luo Gensheng liked to eat, and when they were served on the table at noon, Luo Lihua was happy, and her heart was full of happiness when she saw the dishes she made herself being enjoyed by the people she liked.
"Big brother, do you know that these dishes are all made by Pear Blossom herself, you have to eat them well." Luo Furong looked at the happy Luo Lihua, and her heart was also happy.
"I think it's all delicious, and it seems that I'll be blessed in the future." Luo Gensheng looked at Luo Lihua affectionately and said.
"It's all up to my sister to teach me." Luo Lihua said shyly.
"It's so enviable to look at your sweet look. Everyone eat more, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, all of them must be happy. Wait for us to jump round and lively. Yang Honglin looked at everyone and said.
"Well, we're all looking forward to this day." Everyone present said happily that indeed the tea cottage will burn a fire in the yard every year on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people in the whole yard and even other people in the village come to the fire to cheer and jump together, they feel that this is the best way to fight against the year beast, and this year Luo Gensheng and Luo Lihua are fortunate to participate in this joyful activity.
As soon as it got dark, the family in the courtyard of the Yang family had already prepared a fire, and the bright flames illuminated the sky above the tea cottage, and the people who saw the fire slowly gathered, and it didn't take long to fill the entire fire, Yang Honglin saw that everyone was almost there, so he stood in front and began to lead everyone to jump.
"This year, two young partners from our village have come up to dance with us, and we must let them feel the enthusiasm of our tea cottage, let's jump." Yang Honglin raised Luo Gensheng and Luo Lihua's hands and finished speaking to everyone, and then motioned to the family next to him to beat the drum.
Everyone began to dance happily to the sound of the drums, turning around the fire, Luo Gensheng led Luo Lihua to follow the side of Yanghonglin, Furong did not come to participate in the round because she was pregnant, so she had to stand on the side with tea fruit and watch enviously.
When she danced with Yang Honglin for the first time last year, she forgot her usual troubles for a while, just looked at the firelight, listened to the laughter beside her, and became happy.
"Brother Gensheng, this is the same as the bonfire in our stockade!" Luo Lihua said with a smile while jumping.
"Yes, but we may not have the opportunity to participate in your village in the future. But today we should be happy to dance. Luo Gensheng smiled and watched Luo Lihua return.
"yes, happy jump." Luo Lihua looked at the bright firelight, and her eyes were full of joy.
Everyone jumped round and round, even on a cold winter night, everyone's face was covered with fine beads of sweat and a happy smile. It wasn't until the rooster crowed in the night that everyone wouldn't stop.
"It seems that the time is almost there, so let's all go home and open the door of wealth." When he heard the first rooster crow, Yang Honglin let go of his hand first. Everyone also stopped, and the fire in front of them gradually weakened, and Luo Furong, who was still watching from the side just now, had already gone to sleep with Chaguo in her arms.
"Young Master Yang, we drove the Nian beast away again this year." Before leaving, a villager looked at Yang Honglin with a smile and said.
"Yes, as long as we are all so united, the Nian Beast will never dare to come to the tea mountain." Yang Honglin looked at everyone happily and said, and everyone nodded with a smile.
"I also hope that all of you will live a more stable life in the coming year, and your health will not be sick or sick." Yang Honglin looked at the villagers who gradually left the yard and wished. In the past two years, he feels that more and more young people have come to the courtyard, and it is also a good opportunity for him to win over everyone in the tea cottage.
"Let's wait, everyone, this year our second young master has a New Year's gift for everyone." Suddenly, Lin Bo, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, stopped everyone and said. So everyone stopped and turned their heads to look at Yang Honglin.
"Yes, our tea cottage has always relied on everyone's hard work to plant tea trees and raise livestock to survive. This year, I want to use the little money I have saved on weekdays to give you some gifts, and I hope you don't dislike it. Yang Honglin had discussed with Lin Bo earlier that he would start to win over the people in the village on this day to prepare for the tea picking work in the coming year.
"Yes, our second young master really has a heart, and prepared a new tea basket for everyone present, you all follow me to the warehouse to get it, don't forget our second young master when you pick tea next year." Lin Bo said and led the villagers who came to the courtyard to the warehouse in the backyard, and the two of them had been hiding from Mrs. Yang and the owner of the village when they were preparing, and they were afraid of their stopping.
And Yang Honglin also expected that Mrs. Yang would not participate in their bonfire party, so this was a good time, and the tea cottagers who have always made a living from tea have no less love for tea baskets than for their children. So everyone actively followed Lin Bo to the backyard and happily accepted Yang Honglin's New Year's gift, and all this escaped Mrs. Yang's eyes.
"Thank you Limber, thank you Second Young Master!" Everyone took the tea basket and bowed to Lin Bo and Yang Honglin and thanked them constantly, seeing that Yang Honglin's heart was full of hope. After everyone had finished receiving it, Lin Bo closed the door of the warehouse and came to Yang Honglin's room lightly.
"Second young master, it's all done, you just wait for the good times of the coming year."
"Well, hard work for you, Lin Bo, you can rest quickly, it's late at night." Yang Honglin looked at Lin Bo and said happily that the passion of their master and servant to do something had begun to swell.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the previous practice, it was the day when the elders of the entire Yang family clan got together together, and Mrs. Yang actually mentioned the matter of Luo Gen giving birth to them on such an occasion.
"I said Honglin, the two guests from your backyard have also been living in the courtyard for a while, are they planning to stay permanently?"
"Auntie, that's not a guest, it's Furong's eldest brother, that is, Chaguo's brother-in-law." Yang Honglin didn't expect Mrs. Yang to talk about Luo Gensheng.
"Although it's Chaguo's brother-in-law, I think it's wrong, elders, listen to it. This brother-in-law has been here since October, and he hasn't even gone back for the New Year, so didn't he commit something at home and run over to hide? Mrs. Yang had long wanted to drive Luo Gensheng and them out of the courtyard, but she didn't want to come forward herself, so she brought it up on such an occasion.
"There really is such a thing, it stands to reason that it is normal for relatives to move around each other. But it's been here since October, and it's been a long time, what's going on in the red forest, is it really like what Mrs. said, if that's the case, then we can't hide it in the tea cottage. The oldest elder of the Yang family spoke.
"Uncle Tai, my brother-in-law didn't do anything, it's just that it's inconvenient to go home for the time being, and they will go back in a few days. Rest assured, if he does do do something, I won't keep him here. Yang Honglin looked at the old man and said.
"How many days, how many days is that?" Mrs. Yang asked urgently.
"Auntie, they will leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I promise." Yang Honglin looked at Mrs. Yang and said.
"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month? It will take half a month, and our family's firewood, rice, oil and salt are also bought with money. Mrs. Yang was still a little dissatisfied.
"Auntie, I know you're dissatisfied with them, but you also have to think about how we have always been friends with the forest farm, if you are really unhappy about this matter, how can we continue to associate with the forest farm village in the future." Yang Honglin looked at Mrs. Yang and reminded.
"When you talk about this forest farm, I just want to go there, I just want to ask my in-laws, what's going on?" After being reminded by Yang Honglin, Mrs. Yang remembered a solution to this matter.
"Auntie, let's discuss our affairs after the dinner." Yang Honglin really regretted that he had mentioned the forest farm, which might have caused trouble for Luo Gensheng and them.
"You're right, let's talk about it after dinner." Mrs. Yang glared at Yang Honglin and said. In the evening, Mrs. Yang really found Yang Honglin in the room.
"Honglin, I heard from the people in the courtyard that you sent tea baskets to the villagers last night?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang didn't ask about Luo Gensheng, but about Yang Honglin's delivery of the tea basket.
"Yes, auntie, I sent tea baskets to the villagers who drove the New Year beasts in the yard, but they were all bought with my own money, and I didn't use the money in the account." Yang Honglin hurriedly explained.
"Then why are you hiding it from me, do you want to set up another door?" Mrs. Yang asked aggressively, so frightened that Yang Honglin had no countermeasures for a while. Mrs. Yang continued: "Honglin, you have to be clear about your identity, you are just a child left behind by the poor owner of the village, don't think anything wrong, I warn you." ”
"Auntie, I did this to make the villagers more willing to pick tea for us in the coming year, where do I have anything to think about." Yang Honglin argued.
"It's better to be like this, if you let me find out what is going on behind my back, don't blame me for being rude when the time comes, and your brother-in-law will let them go as soon as possible." Mrs. Yang looked at Yang Honglin fiercely and said.
"I know Auntie, then I'll go out first." Yang Honglin said with a sigh of relief. Mrs. Yang didn't even look at him and said, "Go out." ”
When he went out, Yang Honglin clenched his fists and was full of anger: "Why do I have to be suppressed by you, one day I will definitely get ahead." ”
"Second Young Master, what's wrong with you?" His angry face fell right in the eyes of Lin Bo on the side, and he asked with concern.
"Limber, our plan must be carried out carefully, and we can't let Auntie find out." Yang Honglin looked at Lin Bo and said.
