Chapter 37: Movement

On the fifth day of the first month, it is also called the fifth day.

The custom in this area of Taoxi Town is that the whole family should stay in their own homes on the fifth day of the first lunar month. On this day, you can't break things, you can't sew and mend, and you have to be very careful.

After the fifth day of the new year, the garbage that has been saved here for a few days can be thrown out, and it is also called sending poor ghosts. From the beginning of the thirtieth year to the fifth day of the new year, it is not allowed to throw things outside the house.

Ten miles is not customary.

In her previous life, Du Yuniang had also heard other sayings, but she was still in Xinghuagou, so she naturally had to follow the rules of Xinghuagou.

On the day of breaking the fifth, I want to eat dumplings.

The poor family lives a frugal life. In normal times, try to eat something simple and easy to obtain. If there is something good, it has to be saved until the New Year, and the family, young and old, can also save some oil and water in the stomach at this time.

Anyone's rice, flour, oil and salt are not for nothing, and they eat dumplings every day......

That's the life of the landlord!

Du Yuniang remembered the conversation between the two nuns she overheard in her previous life, and couldn't help but smile.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but in Zhang's eyes, he felt that Du Yuniang's smile was very dazzling. Was she laughing at herself? This little slut, has he taken himself as an elder in his eyes!

Yes, in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, she has no face. Her own man didn't give her a good face, and even the people in the big house ignored her.

This made Zhang's heart very uncomfortable! She felt both aggrieved and faceless. The most important thing is that she hates Du Yuniang and hates it to a new height.

A girl is actually more noble than the grandson who is studying at home, and the 'family style' of the old Du family is really amazing.

But at this time, Zhang also figured out that he had just been scolded by his mother-in-law and beaten by his husband, and he couldn't keep an eye on Du Yuniang anymore.

So Zhang quickly lowered her hand and pretended to be busy making dumplings, but in fact she was afraid that others would see her hideous face.

After eating the dumplings in the morning, the whole family gathered together, chattering, gossiping, and talking about things in the village and town.

Du Yuniang approached Li and asked her, "Grandmother, when will our shop go out!" Do you want to find an acquaintance to be an intermediary, or do you want to write a rental revelation? ”

When Zhang heard this, his eyes widened, this is a big deal.

Li Shi muttered: "There are still a lot of our things in the yard!" I thought, after the fifteenth, let your father catch up with the car, and we will pull the things back first. Write another rental notice and paste it on it. ”

While listening, Zhang rolled his eyes, and his heart was so anxious.

If this shop is rented out, how can she make money!

"That's fine!" As soon as Du Yuniang heard that the Li family had no intention of changing the hexagram, she didn't say anything else, she was mainly afraid that the Li family's position was not firm.

Li clapped her hand, "Don't worry about it, when it's fifteen, go back with your grandmother, and we'll come back after watching the lanterns." ”

Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the town will open a light market, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a night market, for three days. Those who sell lanterns and set up food stalls do not have to pay taxes, which can be regarded as doing something good for Lao Baisheng, so that everyone can have an income.

As soon as Li said this, Du Yuniang also remembered.

Scenes of the past are passing in front of me as if they were flowing.

"Grandmother, I'm not going!" The light market is quite lively, but she is no longer the Du Yuniang who loved to watch the excitement in her previous life.

"She won't go, I'll go!" Du Xiaoye said on the side: "Grandmother, you take me there!" I can help you pack your things! After speaking, he also glanced at Du Yuniang, meaning that Du Yuniang couldn't work.

Du Yuniang was too lazy to bother with her and didn't answer.

Li can't look down on Du Xiaoye's shallow-eyed appearance, but she is his granddaughter in the end, and she usually blames her mother for teaching her children badly.

"Okay, if Yu Niang doesn't go then, Ye Zi will go."

Du Xiaoye was happy, his chin was raised high, and he couldn't let everyone know Li's words.

Liu watched silently and said nothing.

Fifteen, she also wanted to go to town. The main reason is to ask for a peace charm in the temple and wear it for the jade lady.

"Mother, or I'll go back with you on the fifteenth! There's a lot of stuff at home! Liu thought for a moment and spoke.

Du Xiaoye almost fried her hair, if it weren't for the unpleasant trouble at home a few days ago, she also ate a meal with her, and with her memory, it is estimated that she would have to go back at this time.

Li Shi thought about it for a while, and said, "Let's talk about it then, let's talk about it when the time comes!" ”

"Alas!" Liu didn't say anything.

But Du Xiaoye was angry.

Du Yuniang is not a good thing, and her mother is not a good thing.

Tian saw that the atmosphere was a little bad, and immediately said: "Grandmother, being idle is also idle, or let's play the leaf card!" ”

Li smiled: "In the middle, take peanuts as lottery heads." ”

The atmosphere eased a bit, and everyone started playing leaf cards.

The Li family, the Liu family, the Zhang family and the Tian family all play leaf cards, and the old and young generations get together to play cards for a while, which is also a pastime.

Du Yuniang gave them peanuts and used peanuts as lottery heads.

Anyway, this matter is in the past, and if it gets noisy on the fifth day of the new year, it will be very unlucky!

After the fifth day of the new year, the people in the village will naturally move around. Those who started work early have already packed their bags and are ready to work in the town and county.

Every year, the Du family's tea house is opened after the eighth day of the new year, and the tenth day of this year has passed, and the Du family has not moved to the town.

The curiosity of the people in the village came up again, and they wanted to go to Du's house to inquire about the news. Is there something going on at home, why is it this time, and people haven't left yet?

But no one thought that the person who came to the house to inquire about the news would be Lizheng.

Xinghuagou's Lizheng, the famous stone three locks. He also has two elder brothers, one is called Shi Dasuo and the other is Shi Ersuo.

He is the eldest in the family, more pet-loving, has been in school for a few years, and can write. There are many people surnamed Shi in the Xinghuagou area, and the Shi family is also relatively united, and everyone is an ancestor, especially in a group. Later, the right position here naturally fell on his head.

"Uncle Sansuo, why are you here, oops, it's really a rare guest, a rare guest." The farmer is enthusiastic about treating people. It's not out of the New Year yet, and there must be an atmosphere for picking up lobbyists, and people are still positive, and the size is also an official.

Du Heqing let Shi Sansuo into the hall, and took out two handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts for the New Year's guests, and put them on the table.

"Damn, hurry up and pour some water for Uncle Sansuo."

Liu Shi answered and poured water.

"I'm busy, I'm here, just ask, at this time of year, your second child should go to the town, why is it all this time this year, and there is no movement?"
