Li Xiaotao recalled the unbearable past and felt guilty, "Don't worry, my mother won't be so stupid anymore!" ”

Especially after learning what happened to Mu Sanxi, she secretly rejoiced more than once, fortunately Mu Jiu learned to resist, otherwise, the next one would be Mu Jiu!

"No, I'm worried that you won't be able to hold it tomorrow if Mrs. Mu comes over." Mu Hongli is like a little adult.

Mu Jiu simply looked at the two of them and let them speak freely.

When she returns to the capital one day, they are all people who can take charge of themselves!

After saying for a while, Li Xiaotao let the two go to sleep, "Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow!" ”

There is a rule in this area of Wanbao Town that when entering a new house, it must be after the rooster crows three times, and before dawn.

Mu Jiu didn't really understand why, so he asked Li Xiaotao.

Li Xiaotao explained, "After the rooster crows three times, it represents the opening of the heavens, and a new day is coming, so get up early, lest someone who has an enemy with us curse us during the sacrifice, or an ignorant child who says unlucky things, you will have to say auspicious words tomorrow!" ”

"Got it, mother, you've said it many times in the past few days!"

"Say it a few more times, lest you talk nonsense!"

The sister and brother fell asleep with Li Xiaotao's chattering voice.

……

The next day, before dawn, Li Xiaotao groped her way up to get up, put on the new clothes, cooked, cooked the whole thing she had killed yesterday, and put it on a plate.

Then put the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea into the basket one by one, and then woke up Mu Jiu, and the mother got up and went to the new house with the basket.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Li Xiaotao asked Mu Jiu to make a pot of fire and put it in the center of the door, "Step over this pot of fire and go in." ”

"Why?" Mu Hongli is only six years old, and many times he keeps his children's curiosity.

"It's booming, you're a boy, you're the pillar of the family, you go first."

"Be careful, you can't step on the threshold when you go in, and everything will go smoothly in the future."

Mu Hongli did so, the first to step over the brazier, and then Li Xiaotao asked Mu Jiu to step over, and she was the last to pass.

When she entered, she put the pole straight inside.

Entering the door of the house, crossing the shadow wall, and passing through the courtyard, Li Xiaotao put the firewood, rice, oil, and salt in the center of the hall, and put the rice, wine, and chicken on the table.

Burning incense to worship the gods, muttering a bunch of words asking for the ancestors and gods to bless them.

Each of the mothers burned incense and worshiped their ancestors, so Li Xiaotao put firewood, rice, oil, salt and other items where they should be placed, and then put the things that were not put away yesterday one by one.

Mu Hongli was not worried about the wolf Qianli and a few little goshawks, and when he saw that he couldn't help, he went back, hugged the bird's nest, and took the wolf Qianli into the new house.

Mu Jiu left a back cover room alone for Wolf Qianli and the little goshawk to live in, and arranged a new wolf's nest and bird's nest and put it in.

Mu Hongli made a few more trips and moved all the pots and pans they used into their new home.

By the time this was done, it was just dawn.

Mu Cha was the first to come to celebrate, Mu Liu wrapped a bag of copper coins in red paper and gave it to Li Xiaotao, "Xiao Tao, congratulations on moving to a new house, and the future will be prosperous." ”

"Thank you!" Li Xiaotao took the red envelope and beckoned people to sit down in the hall.

Mu Hongli hurriedly put the melon seeds on the table, "Grandma Lizheng, please use it slowly." ”

Lin Langzhong was the second to come, and he took Lin Yueji with a smile, and also gave Li Xiaotao a red envelope, and said a bunch of congratulatory words.

Li Xiaotao handed the red envelope to Mu Jiu.

These gifts should be written down and returned in the future.

If you send more, you will pay back more in the future, and if you send less, you will naturally return less in the future.

But people tend to like to give more, even if they pay back a little more later.

Mu Jiu went back to the room and carefully opened the red paper and recorded it: Thirty-six copper coins for Mu Cha and thirty-six copper coins for Lin Langzhong.

Not long after, Lin Laosi and his wife came with a pair of children Lin Qiangsheng and Lin Yuebai, and also gave thirty-six copper coins as a gift.

Also accompanied by Lin Fifteen and Lin Changsheng.

Mu Jiu opened the red envelope given by Lin Fifteen and Lin Changsheng in a complicated mood, and took out three silver tickets of one hundred taels and one of fifty taels.

Mu Jiu always knew that the father and son were hidden, but he didn't expect them to be so generous.

But they are not meritorious, and their generosity does not mean that she can accept it with peace of mind.

Mu Jiu thought about it and walked out of the room, ready to find Lin Changsheng and return the silver ticket to him.

Aunt Mu Jiu came with a pair of children and sent the red envelope to Mu Jiu, "Auntie's little care, don't dislike it, I wish you more and more success in the future, good luck!" ”

"Thank you, Aunt Nine." Mu Jiu politely smiled at Aunt Jiu, "Aunt Jiu is sitting here." ”

Aunt Jiu: "I'll go to the kitchen first to see if there's anything I can help with." ”

"Thank you!"

After Aunt Jiu, Lin Laogou also came with Lin Zhou's family and sent nine copper plates.

Naturally, Lin Zhou's smirk seemed to have suffered a big loss.

Mu Jiu turned a blind eye, this is not bad, at least he didn't throw his face.

The custom here, like this red wine, the host family invites some people who are good with him to come over for a banquet, which is called a regular guest, but if the people in the village want to come, they can also send a little gift to the banquet, and they will be congratulaters.

One after another, Aunt Mu Qi and some other members of the Mu clan came and sent six or eight copper plates as congratulatory gifts.

Li Xiaotao smiled and handed over all the copper plates to Mu Jiu, who carefully recorded them, and then went to the kitchen.

The kitchen is one of the East Wings and opens onto the dining room next door.

Because of today's errands, Mu Jiu set up two cauldrons in the courtyard.

There were many people who came to help with the work, and when Mu Jiu went, the vegetables had already been washed, the fire had already burned, Lin Fifteen was cooking rice, and Lin Changsheng was wielding a big kitchen knife to cut the meat that Mu Jiu bought back yesterday into small pieces.

When he saw Mu Jiu, he grinned at her, revealing a faint smile.

Generally, when people in the village do things, they will invite Chef Mu, who is the best cook in the village, but Mu Jiu planned to cook the dishes by himself, so he didn't invite anyone to come.

I am used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, and I dare not call myself a chef, but I can still get my hands on cooking a few tables of good dishes for these villagers to taste.

Mu Jiu put the bones in one of the cauldrons and began to boil, and put the ribs in the other cauldron and began to stir-fry.

Lin Yuebai smiled and helped to light the fire, "Ninth sister, your fried meat is so fragrant!" ”

"Then eat more later!"

"That's not possible, my mother said, there are more people coming today, let me eat less."

Mu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Aunt Lin was worried that the things she had prepared were not enough to eat.

"It's okay, I've prepared a lot, you let go and eat."

Lin Yuebai smiled, "Then I'm not a pig?" ”

Mu Jiu was amused by Lin Yuebai, "Little thing! ”

"I'm only one year younger than the ninth sister, okay, I'm not a small thing!" Lin Yuebai was the number one person who did the work, and while lighting the fire, he took a towel to wipe Mu Jiu's sweat.

Mu Jiu likes Lin Yuebai very much, and he speaks directly and funny, because he has been in a big family, he is more courageous than ordinary girls, and he is very assertive.

"You are smaller than me, in my eyes you are a small thing, don't fight!"

"Okay, today you enter the new house, you are the hero, don't fight with you, you will be smooth in the future, sister and I will follow the light."

That little look in your eyes that you bullied me smaller than you, Mu Jiu almost got embarrassed when she saw it, as if she had bullied her.

People are small and big!

"Sister Jiu'er, what are you talking about, I'll listen to it too." Lin Yueji came over to join in the fun.

"Yueji is good to go to grandma first, there is oil everywhere here, and it's not good if it's hot."

Lin Yueji stepped back a little, "I can't get hot when I stand here." ”

Mu Jiu sighed in his heart, it would be nice if the children who came were as cute as Lin Yueji!

It's a pity that the uncute also came.

Lin Lao Wu and Aunt Lin walked in with a smile, Lin Lao Wu was holding a Lin Mansheng in his hand, and Aunt Lin Wu was holding her daughter Lin Yueya in her hand, and took a copper plate to Li Xiaotao, "Little Peach Sister Paper, you moved into your new house today, congratulations on your smooth sailing." ”

Those who ride horses, where did they learn the word smooth sailing!

It's still a long time to live, why don't you take nine copper plates!

This family of four is here to eat!

How can there be such a custom of greeting guests!

But today is a good day, and according to custom, you can't be easily moved.

Mu Jiu concentrated on stir-frying, out of sight.

But when things come to the door, you can't hide from them.

The person who came was a guest, Li Xiaotao beckoned Aunt Lin's family to sit down, and the two elders of the Mu clan came, so they went to greet the clan elders.

Mu Hongli followed behind sensibly, holding a plate of melon seeds and snacks, "Grandpa, try it, this is what my sister specially bought from the town." ”

The actual situation is that I bought a lot of them at the beginning, and I was going to see Mu Sanxi.

But in Mu Sanxi's situation, the door was all in, and he couldn't eat it when he got it back, but fortunately, melon seeds and nuts could be put for a while, so they were used today.

The clan elder smiled and praised Mu Hongli for being sensible.

Everyone avoided Mu Rongguang's family with great discernment, all they said was that Mu Jiu's new home was spacious and beautiful, and if they had the ability in the future, they would also build a house like this.

"Jiu'er, why is the room in the hall locked?" Mu Liu ran over and asked in a low voice.

According to the custom, on the day of entering the new house, all the rooms should be opened for guests to visit, which also means to show off: You come to see if my house is built beautifully.

Mu Jiu didn't think so, all her underwear was in the room, and she didn't want to show it to others, especially those old men in the village!

"Grandma Lizheng, I don't care about that." Mu Jiu said cryptically, "My underwear is all in the cabinet. ”

Mu Liu knew Mu Jiu's situation, understood her approach, and sighed, "Customs are customs, reality is reality, and living well is the most important thing." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Lizheng, for your understanding."

But Aunt Lin was like a loudspeaker, and when she entered the hall and saw that the door of the room was locked, she ran out and asked Mu Jiu loudly, "Why did you lock the room, are you afraid that we will steal your things?" Why are you like this, I came to congratulate you kindly, and I was guarded by you like a thief, why are you so careful! ”

There is this Aunt Lin everywhere!
