Chapter 22: Vegetable Patch

As soon as the winter solstice passes, there is still a month before the New Year, and the Ding family is also starting to prepare for the New Year.

It's going to be the New Year, and the children in the family are the happiest.

Children, my favorite thing is new clothes and all kinds of delicious food, although there may not be new clothes, but all kinds of delicious food must be there, and there used to be every year.

Therefore, the children at home are very excited about the Chinese New Year, and they also guess with the children in the village what is delicious this year.

"My grandmother will definitely buy us candy to eat, she used to buy it."

Youyi said to his friends.

"We must also have sugar in our house, and my mother used to buy it."

Another child argued.

"And melon seeds and peanuts, which are also available every year." Youyi continued.

"We have it in our family, and I planted it this year."

"Then I still have snacks at home, my father used to buy them." Some righteous people were not convinced, and said.

"We have it at home."

……

……

A group of children were comparing things for the New Year, and finally Youyi found that everyone else had them, and went home unhappy.

Wang saw it and asked casually, Youyi only said that it was okay.

Wang didn't look like he was in trouble, so he didn't ask anymore, thinking that it might be a quarrel with a friend.

There is only half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the Ding family is ready to go to the county seat tomorrow, that is, on the 14th day of the lunar month.

In fact, the county town Ding's family rarely goes, sometimes they can't go once in two or three years, but Erlin occasionally goes once, but it is also because of work.

The county seat is actually quite far away from Wanshan Village, and it takes an hour or two to walk, and it is much closer to the town, and it can be reached in half an hour.

The things that the people in the village need are available in the town, let alone go to the county seat, and it will take so much time.

Moreover, the people in the village are always a little afraid of the county seat, so they generally don't go to the county seat if they can.

And the Ding family hasn't been to the county seat for two years, and Erlin hasn't been there for a year.

This time I went to the county seat because I added Xin'er to the family this year, and I had the words of the previous doctor, Wang wanted to take the child to the Qingyun Temple in the county to burn pillar incense and ask for peace.

Wang told Erlin about this idea, and Erlin agreed, so he said that he would go with him and bring righteousness with him.

After the two discussed, they told Zheng, and Zheng agreed after listening to it and thinking about it.

Later, Zhang's family heard that Erlin and their family of four were going to Qingyun Temple to incense and was also moved, Youcheng will be eleven years old after the New Year, and she will discuss marriage in a few years, and she also wants to go to the two pillars of incense.

Thinking about it, she found time to tell Yimu, and Yimu didn't have an opinion on this matter, so Zhang took it as if he agreed, so he went to his mother-in-law and said that he also wanted to go to Qingyun Temple to burn incense.

Zheng hesitated when he saw that he and the old man were the only ones left in the house.

Later, after telling Ding Dashan, Ding Dashan felt that it was not a big deal, and he would go if he wanted to, anyway, they had their own money.

Zheng had some thoughts in his heart when he heard this.

The next day, she said at the dinner table: "Let's go to the county seat for the whole family this year, and I also bought things for the New Year in the county seat." ”

The family was a little stunned at first when they heard the news, and then the children screamed excitedly.

"I'm going to the county seat, I'm going to the county seat!"

As the children cheered, the adults in the family also reacted, knowing that the matter had been decided, and they stopped talking.

After eating, the family began to discuss what to buy in the county seat this time.

The Wang family proposed it to the Zheng family on the tenth day of the lunar month, and it was only two days since the Zheng family decided to go to the county seat.

After deciding on it, Erlin thought that his parents were old and the children were still young, and he was too tired to walk such a long way, so he went to the village chief Wang's house in the village.

Village Chief Wang's family has a cow and an ox cart, which is made by Erlin.

Erlin thought that their family was going to go, so it was better to borrow an ox cart to take the car, which would be faster and not so tired.

Erlin went to the village chief's house in the afternoon, and the village chief's family was eating.

"Erlin is here, have you eaten, haven't you eaten together?"

It was Wang Cheng, the second son of the village chief, who had helped the Wang family a lot before.

"Brother Cheng, I haven't eaten yet, the family has already done it, I came this time because I want to ask Uncle Wang for help."

Erlin is very grateful to Wang Cheng, if he hadn't met her, his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law wouldn't know what to do.

Moreover, he and Wang Cheng can be regarded as growing up together, but Wang Cheng is only two years older than him, and he is also a generation, and he usually changes it well.

"Then come on in. Dad, Erlin has something to do with you. ”

Wang Cheng shouted into the house while leading Erlin inside.

Erlin was also familiar with the village chief's house, and followed Wang Chengcheng in.

"Erlin is here, let's have a bite to eat together."

The village chief put down the dishes and chopsticks and came out of the hall and asked Erlin to eat together.

The people in the village are like this, as long as they touch the food, everyone will call to eat together, which is a etiquette and a habit.

"No, Uncle Wang, I came this time because I want to ask you for help, I want to borrow your ox cart for a day.

In two days, we want to go to Qingyun Mountain in the county, burn two pillars of incense to the Bodhisattva, and ask for peace for Xin'er. ”

Erlin didn't delay people to eat, and directly told the village chief about his intentions.

"Okay, when are you going to do it?"

The village chief thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it in the past two days, so he agreed.

"The day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then you can pull it tomorrow afternoon."

The village chief knew that they were going to the county seat early, and it would be troublesome to come to the house to pull it at that time, so it was better to pull it over the first day.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, I will buy you two catties of soju when the time comes."

Erlin didn't say anything false, but directly said something to give.

The older people are these two, smoking and drinking, and Village Chief Wang's favorite thing is drinking, so Erlin will say so.

"Okay, I'll just wait for your soju, Erlin will stay and eat together."

The village chief once again left Erlin to eat at home.

"No, the village chief, I have to go back and tell them the good news, then Uncle Wang, I'll leave first, you eat slowly."

"Okay, I won't send you."

When he came back from the village chief's house, Erlin told his family about his borrowing of a carriage, and the family was very happy to hear it.

Now, I'm waiting to go to the county seat the day after tomorrow.

The days of waiting passed slowly, and when it was dark on the thirteenth day, Erlin went to the village chief's house to bring back the ox cart.

finally waited for the time, and the family got up early.

Xin'er hasn't woken up yet, but this doesn't affect it, as soon as the clothes are wrapped in Wang's arms, he holds the person in his arms.

When the Ding family went out, it was not yet dawn, and they all lit torches to light the way, and it was not until they reached the halfway point that it began to lighten.

Along the way, Youxin and Youyi couldn't help but fall asleep again in a daze, saying that they were too excited to sleep last night, and they were too sleepy to get up so early today.

As for Youcheng, he is older, although he was very excited last night, but now he doesn't want to be so sleepy with righteousness.

The Qingyun Temple they went to first, Qingyun Temple is on a mountain outside the county seat, and there is no need to enter the county seat.

There were already some people in Qingyun Temple, and after finding a place to stop the car, the group entered the temple.

Because no one watched the ox cart, Ding Dashan and Yimu were not interested in going in, so the father and son guarded the ox cart at the bottom of the mountain.
