When Zeng Ziqing woke up the next day, she was left alone in the bed, and she slept soundly enough, so Ziqing put on her clothes and went to Shen's house to have a look. Shen was sitting at the head of the bed eating breakfast, but fortunately, there was a poached egg.

"Qing'er woke up, did you sleep well?"

"Okay, mother, what about them, brother?"

"Your eldest brother is resting today, going to have breakfast, and you may have to go up the mountain with your second brother and sister Ping to hug the pine hair in a while, you can take the junior to play."

"Got it, I'll eat first." Touching Xiao Si's little wrinkled face, "Xiao Si is good, my sister is gone." ”

Walking to the front room, everyone finished eating, sister-in-law Qiuyu was helping Zhou clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Old Man Zeng and Zeng Ruixiang were discussing the matter of worshipping their ancestors on the winter solstice tomorrow. Grandma Tian and the second aunt Xia Yu didn't know what they were muttering, Zifu changed into an old short clothes, and Ziping and they were about to go out to hug their loose hair, and there were still many people waiting outside. Zishou was still sitting by the stove and eating slowly, but fortunately, he left food for Ziqing.

"Little San, after eating, my sister will take you out to play, the sun is so warm today."

It took most of the day for Zeng Ziqing to figure out the surrounding environment in the company of Zeng Zishou's children. In front of Grandma's house is a cobblestone road, which is more than one meter wide, and there are people living on both sides. The north gate of my aunt's wooden house faces the official road, which is said to lead directly to the state capital. On both sides of the official road are shops, about more than 1,000 meters long. Ziqing took her younger brother around and found that there were inns, restaurants, rice shops, cloth shops, money houses, blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, lacquer shops, grocery stores, medicine shops, butcher shops, and so on. This is also known as the town street. There is a peach tree outside the west gate, and the west gate faces a large open space, like a square, and at the other end of the square is a pond, where clothes are usually washed. There is a well next to the pond where nearby families fetch water.

It's no wonder that these two families have to live here, this location is really convenient. In particular, the square at the entrance is a place where the market (called the market in the north), according to Xiao San, there are too many people in the market, Ziqing thinks about it and then looks at what this time and space has, and I don't know what I can do to improve my life. After all, I'm only five years old, and it's always inappropriate to be too profound.

At dinner, Zeng Ziqing saw Zeng Ruiqing, the big father who put her in the pigsty, Zeng Ruiqing did not smile, I don't know if the reason for working in the yamen is not, and he is not angry and arrogant. Ziqing found that everyone seemed to be a little afraid of him. Even the old man Zeng and the Tian family were cautious when discussing with him about worshipping their ancestors tomorrow, for fear of offending him. Ziqing looked at this posture and tried to minimize her presence. Slip early.

On the second day, after breakfast, Zeng Laozi and Zeng Ruiqing put the prepared meat, rice, cakes, candles, incense, firecrackers and other things into the bamboo basket, Zhou used a small hammer to beat another iron mold on one side, the mold is under the yellow straw paper, and there is a corresponding crescent moon on the yellow paper, which is the same as the paper money used for the sacrifice now, Tian sat aside to separate the beaten straw paper, Qiu Yu wrapped the divided straw paper with white paper and glued it, and Zeng Ruixiang instructed Zifu to write on the burden on the side. Zeng Ruixiang Nian Zifu wrote, "On the occasion of the winter solstice, filial piety is born in the water, filial piety grandson Ruiqing, Ruixiang, filial great-grandson... Ziqing leaned over and took a look, hey, it's Chinese characters, most of them don't recognize it, and I heard Zeng Ruixiang read the year name, "Yuan Hong is the winter solstice in the tenth year." "Although Ziqing is a student of engineering, the dynasties of the next 5,000 years in history are generally known, and if you want to specifically say the name of the emperor, the Ming and Qing dynasties are barely familiar. Yuan Hongnian, I really haven't heard of it. Ziqing didn't dare to ask. Zeng Zifu may not have learned to write for a long time, and his handwriting is barely neat. Qiu Yu joked on the side, "Zifu, you have to write well, you are the eldest grandson, if you don't write well, the ancestors don't recognize it, you don't receive it, you don't have a silver flower, but it's your sin." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't you know that there is a word called ghost drawing? That is, no matter what symbol is drawn, the ghost will recognize it. ”

"You little rabbit cub, you dare to arrange even the ancestor." Old man Zeng gave Zifu a big slap on the back of the head.

Zifu touched the back of his head and glared at Qiu Yu, who made a grimace at him.

There is no woman's share in worshipping ancestors on the winter solstice, Ziqing wanted to see what housework she could do for her mother, so she said hello to Tian and left.

"Mother, daddy, they're all gone, and the junior is gone, and now I'm alone with you." Ziqing saw the diaper changed by the little brother on the low stool in the house, "Mother, I'll go wash the diaper first." Take advantage of the sun to dry. ”

"Will you wash? Will it fall into the pond? Let's wait for your eldest brother to come back. You're only five years old, and you're just getting well. ”

"Mother, it's okay, I'll be careful, besides, I'm a girl, my eldest brother has to do a lot of things, and I have to study."

At Zeng Ziqing's insistence, he put the diaper in the small bamboo basket, because the wooden basin did not move, and he also knew that he would take a small wooden mallet, there was a small slope by the pond, and under the slope was a bluestone slab, and there were others when Ziqing went.

"Ziqing, why haven't you come to my aunt's house to play recently? Your third mother-in-law was still talking to you yesterday, and today you came out to do the laundry. Will you use your aunt to help you? ”

It is estimated that it is the aunt of the grandmother's family, listening to Zeng Zilu's tone yesterday, these three mothers-in-law seem to be sympathetic to Ziqing and the Shen family. At this thought, Ziqing smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, auntie, don't bother auntie, just teach me how to wash."

Ziqing's move quickly won the favor of her aunt, and with the help of her aunt, Ziqing quickly went home, but drying things became a problem, and she saw other people's homes use two or three tripods to support bamboo poles, but she couldn't move either of them, so she had to find someone to help.

Ziqing was too lazy to go to the front room, so she found Xiao Xiuying at her own side, and Xiao Xiuying asked while helping her, "Ziqing can wash things?" Why didn't you ask your little aunt to help you? At this moment, a lot of people came to Hulala, Xiao Xiuying greeted her, and before Ziqing could count the heads, she rushed out of a girl, pinching Ziqing's cheeks with both hands, "Xiao Qingqing, do you miss me?" Do you want Aunt Xiushui? Little people who have no conscience, surely don't think about me? Well, to say or not to say? ”

Although she pretended to have an evil face, Ziqing immediately fell in love with this bold girl, and it will be much more interesting to have her by her side in the future.

"I miss Aunt Shui, Aunt Shui, why did you come back?" In fact, she is about ten years old, about the same age as Ziping, her personality is much more pleasing, she wears a light green dress, she is the youngest daughter of the Peng family, it seems that their family is much richer than the Zeng family.

"Aunt Shui secretly told you that Aunt Shui has several copper plates in her pocket, and when it is a ruin, Aunt Shui will take you to buy delicious food."

"Well, Aunt Shui, you're so nice." Ziqing found an interesting phenomenon, the grandfather and grandmother, the eldest father and aunt, sister-in-law, and cousin at home don't like to take care of her. But my aunt and this aunt who are not related by blood are really good to her, and they like her from the bottom of their hearts.

Ziqing looked around, but didn't find anyone similar to her little uncle and little uncle, "Don't look for it, your uncle went to your grandmother's house, come over tomorrow." I'll tell you about it. Peng said.

Ziqing agreed, everyone hurriedly chattered into the house, Ziqing didn't follow to make trouble, returned to her mother, the mother and daughter gossiped for a while, and Ziqing also took a nap beautifully.

When she woke up, Ziqing remembered a big event, isn't today the third day of Xiaosi? Isn't there a saying in ancient times that there was a washing of three? Why didn't you do it? She's still waiting to see what's going on. It's hard to come, and if you haven't seen it, of course you want to see it.

"Mother, don't we have to put wine in our family in the past few days after my brother was born?"

"What kind of wine? The full moon isn't too early? It's time to see your grandma, your grandpa likes his grandson, your grandma can't be tired, a few of the family plus your grandmother should still be invited. Left and right are not the first children. It's not improvised. "If you can't be a family, you can't be the master, all the time. Let's hurry up and break up.
