Chapter 228: Goodbye Peony and Rose
"Twenty-eight, poop!"
Xiangchu has had this custom since ancient times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This habit, which has a strong rural custom, is one of the most important days of the lunar month every year. The common people generally use this year's new glutinous rice as the material, soak it in the water of the village for a period of time, and then put it on a wooden steamer to steam the glutinous rice. Then take advantage of the heat to put the steamed glutinous rice in a stone nest, mash it with a wooden stick until it is soft and flexible, and then make it into shapes of different sizes, and then make it into the glutinous rice cake in the New Year's custom.
However, this year, Yonghui's family's glutinous rice cake was played a little early, because it was the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month. But seeing Yonghui's somewhat mysterious demeanor, I couldn't help but ask her what was going on. She secretly told me that this year's Huayuan family's glutinous rice was put together with her family. Seeing the way she wanted to speak and stopped, it tickled my heart even more.
Seeing that I looked anxious, Yonghui secretly laughed, and finally didn't hide it from me. It turned out that her family killed pigs today, and the butcher was lazy and Huayuan's pigs were also killed together. They all set up a posture in the big dirt flat in front of Yonghui's house, because there are more people who are a rare helper on a sunny day today.
However, it is said that this is not the main reason, the main reason is that Yonghui's mother Niu Sanniangniang is a matchmaker, and she tells the peony to be a guest in Jiuyuan, and everyone wants to come to Yonghui's house to meet officially. Not only the Niu family has become a major event, but even the Huayuan family is also cautious.
So the old people summed it up, that is, they simply beat the New Year's glutinous rice cakes, just killing pigs and vegetables. Of course, the old man's meaning is very direct, that is, if the peony and Jiuyuan are completed, just on the twenty-eighth day of the previous year, you can send the finished glutinous rice directly over. I wasn't too surprised to hear Yonghui's statement, because the matter of Peony and Jiuyuan has been talked about for a long time, but it has not really been mentioned on the table, and this time it seems that it is going to be real.
But it doesn't seem to have much to do with me, and although that peony is beautiful and fashionable, it doesn't seem to be something I can get close to. Hisazono is good to us, but there is still an age gap between him and us.
In fact, when Yonghui mentioned Peony, I suddenly thought of Rose, because she is Peony's sister. As for the feeling of the rose in my heart, I now gradually understand that it is stronger than for Yonghui, because in my hazy heart, I have always wanted to treat her as my future guest. And even though I was so close to Yonghui, to be honest, I didn't think that Yonghui would become my cousin in the future.
The rose is a shadow, a shadow that has always lingered in the heart. When I used to think about her, I just thought she was very good-looking, but I couldn't think of anything else. Later, when I became sensible, I gradually understood that this was actually a feeling of wanting to be with her. Today, I suddenly heard Yonghui talking about peonies again, and my heart instantly felt like boiling water in a boiling pot.
Yonghui didn't feel my abnormality, maybe she was rarely able to eat meat, and when she said killing pigs, I heard her swallowing saliva. In fact, people at this time are hungry for meat, and I am no exception. I didn't feel bad about being able to go to Yonghui's house to eat meat, because I went to her house as if she came to my grandmother's house, as if it were my own home.
People will grow up, but in this era when there are still many families with food and clothing, it is the dream of many people to be able to eat a full meal. So whether it is an adult or a child, whether it is a man or a woman, the craving for meat in this day and age is naked.
I even thought that Yonghui used to like to come to her grandmother's house, because her grandmother's life was better than that of many old people. Because some of my grandmother's children were workers, she had to give the old man some pocket money from time to time. And although grandma didn't eat with grandpa, grandpa at least had a retirement salary, and the two of them didn't have to worry about their retirement life.
Now that Yonghui is gradually becoming an adult, naturally no one laughs at her greedily anymore, and she also passes on the good craft she learned from my grandmother as a kind of beautiful talk.
Yonghui saw that I was drooling, so she smiled and said, I will definitely put some meat in the pot to boil, and then go to the kitchen to steal two pieces for me to eat. I was still very touched when she said this, after all, at this time, it is indeed very fat for a farmer to raise a pig, but it has to be eaten for a year. Some families are reluctant to eat, and most of them use it to sell it as family income.
Chatting along the way, it may be a very big and comfortable sun, and many people come out to bask in the sun. I haven't been here in Hongzheng Hall for a while, and when I saw the well next to the big locust tree, I suddenly became a little dazed. thought of seeing Tang Mingwu's face change that day, and then he had an accident. Although a life was saved later, the person was ruined.
That day, I heard Uncle Luo mention that Yubao went to her second sister because her second brother-in-law was in the provincial military region. Uncle Luo also asked Yubao to bring the message back, and also brought some local products to the provincial capital, probably to eat in preparation for the Spring Festival. And I heard that this time Yubao was going by himself, Tang Mingwu's family sent someone to Orchid Bay, wanting to ask how Yubao's body was, which meant that he wanted Yubao to go home, but it seemed that Yubao's father Tang Cizhen was in the way, and Yubao went to the provincial capital the next day.
Looking at the quiet well, I suddenly became a little dazed. Yonghui saw that I was in a trance, so he pulled me forward, and I realized that I was actually taller than Yonghui. I broke free of Yonghui's hand with some trepidation, and Yonghui looked at me with some surprise and asked me what was wrong? I couldn't answer, but I shook my head gently, watched her mouth purs, and whispered away with a red face.
Yonghui seemed to be a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much, and when she was about to arrive at the door of the twenty-ninth master's house, she saw twenty-nine mercy sitting at the door basking in the sun, and the door was still attached to the elegiac couplet without tearing it off. Youha's sister Xiaoxiang saw Yonghui and rushed over to get closer. There was no sadness on her face, and the old man's death didn't seem to have much to do with them.
I looked at the white couplet and felt a little uncomfortable, and I ran quickly towards the earthen flat in front of Yonghui's house. Because there are already many people in the earthen flat, everyone is watching a butcher kill a pig. The pig had been killed, and there was not much blood on the ground, because at this time pig blood was an excellent thing, and everyone was reluctant to give up a drop. I was a little stunned when I saw the open wound under my neck, with blood on the blade.
My arrival didn't attract everyone's special attention, but Hui Jiang didn't know where to get out, and grabbed me, so scared that I couldn't help but feel excited, and couldn't help but clasp his wrist and buckle it hard. Because I live with Uncle Luo, although he hasn't taught me any fighting, he has already practiced with me in slow boxing, which has made me form an instinctive habit.
Hui Jiang was surprised and almost cried out, I saw that it was him, and quickly let go of him, but fortunately I was slightly relieved to see that everyone didn't pay attention to me. Huijiang scolded me several times before he was relieved, and actually asked me where I had been during this time, and I remembered that I didn't seem to have talked about it with everyone. I'm struggling with whether to tell everyone that I live in Orchid Bay. Uncle Luo didn't announce what he said, if he didn't say it, it would be known sooner or later, just like Xiang Qianfei knew.
I hesitated for a moment, but still whispered to him that I was not in good health during this time, and I changed places to raise them, and I went to Orchid Bay a few days ago. Sure enough, Hui Jiang didn't doubt my words, first told me what happened in the village during this time, and then told me a little depressed that his uncle Tang Dianfeng's child was gone, and it seemed that his uncle was not good until now, and he was taken to Xiang Qianfei's mother's house.
I sighed, and the shadow of Xiang Qianfei appeared in my heart, but I was immediately awakened by Huijiang. He kept shaking me and whispered, "Look at the river, look at the river!" I looked a little depressed, but my eyes seemed to freeze all of a sudden.
A group of people were coming down the path from the dirt road, and the ones leading the way were actually Niu Yongzhen and Tang Jiuyuan. Behind them, there were some cousins and men, but the most conspicuous were a pair of girls. The one walking in front was wearing a yellow sweater with a beautiful peony embroidered on it, isn't it a beautiful peony! And the girl who walked side by side with her, who seemed to be a little taller than her, was actually a rose in a red sweater.
Oh, oh!
Seeing the arrival of this team, people who watched the excitement flocked up. I seemed to see Rose glancing at me, but there seemed to be too many people, and they were guests, and they were soon carried into the cow's house. I didn't run over immediately, because I saw a few elders there, so I stood for a while, and when I saw that most of them had followed into the house, I slowly leaned over.
There are two fat pigs in the earthen lawn, and each one looks at least three or four hundred catties. The butcher was busy stabbing the pig's skin and tendons, which was said to blow up the skin and finally shave the pig's hair and debris. I actually like to watch them break the whole process of the pig, to understand the position of each part of its body, but today I have no interest in that.
Because I saw the roses, I concluded that she had seen me too, because when I entered the door, I saw that she was still looking back. Although half of my face was blocked at that time, I knew that she was watching, so no matter how calm I was, I couldn't help but follow. That's when I realized that I missed her a little. Yonghui once told me that she was angry and didn't see me anymore, but just now, I knew she wanted to see me.
I don't know what it means to miss, but I think the mood at the moment should be a kind of missing!
She also seems to be a little taller, as she looks taller than her sister Peony, but also seems to be thinner. I don't know why, I suddenly thought of Yu Liutang, of that afternoon, of that hateful face, and of the unforgettable gasps of breathing. But now I'm not like I was then, I know I've really grown up. Recalling her figure, I was actually a little stupid. (To be continued.) )
