Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hidden Hook

Among the guards, there are many barefoot boys who pretend to be thin ghosts, and the thin ghosts are constantly shot by the nephews who hold peach arc arrows, wailing again and again, holding their heads and running around. caused the people in the workshop to burst into cheers.

In this way, the demons that disturb the children will be dispelled, and in the new year, they will no longer be able to cause harm to the world.

The sound of the drum and flute gradually faded away, and the naughty children squatted on the ground in twos and threes to pick up thorns and arrows, and saved enough to hold a small handful firmly in their hands.

After seeing the exorcism, the people in the neighborhood returned to their homes and began to prepare the application of the New Year's Eve at night.

In winter, it gets dark early, and it's time to hold the lamp after a busy while.

Xie Fuzhong is also in full swing, and they are busy.

Gui Zhe poured fire oil on the firewood that was piled high in the courtyard, and Ciye and Qiu Tan worked together to bring out five or six four-legged beds and surround them around Chai He, and then set up a low table on the four-legged bed.

The tray carried by Jin Chuan and Yin Chuan contains gum tooth dumplings, five spice plates, and brightly colored fake flowers and fruits, and Tusu wine.

Tusu wine, also known as Yagami San, is made by soaking eight medicinal herbs in wine. The Chinese New Year's Eve observance must be indispensable, which can play a role in warding off the epidemic and not being infected with temperature disease and typhoid fever.

When everything was ready, some of the courtyards in the workshop were already lit up, and laughter and joy came in the wind.

Daxi took out a burning firewood from the stove and threw it on the firewood poured with oil, and the flames popped and ignited.

Xie Futing is thriving, indicating that the coming year will be prosperous.

Yushu, the flower doctor, sat opposite the four-legged bed, the firelight reflected their faces red, and the brilliant flames jumped and rose under the eyes of the two.

"Huh? This gum tooth is delicious! The flower doctor girl chewed half in her mouth and half in her hand, and before she could swallow it all, she couldn't wait to praise it. It seems that Bailiji's glue tooth is deeply loved by flower doctors.

"Oh, it was sent by Bailiji, and it was said that it was a recipe from Aunt Dao, or was it a secret system." Yushu tickled Ah Leopard and said with a smile. Because she couldn't stand the cold, the four-legged bed was covered with thick wool felt, wrapped in a sheepskin blanket, and a soup woman was placed at her feet to keep warm.

"This thing is sweet, but it should not be used too much." As a doctor, the flower doctor always reminds Yushu what is beneficial and what is harmful.

Yushu can comply with what she says about taboos and the like, so the flower doctor girl is also willing to talk to her a few more words.

After getting along for a long time, Yushu figured out the likes and dislikes of the flower doctor girl, and had a lot to talk to her.

In fact, the flower doctor girl is very talkative, but almost all of what she says is related to medicinal herbs and reproduction, and ordinary people think that her words are profound and difficult to understand.

Although Yushu looked for a pattern and chatted with the flower doctor, sometimes she couldn't answer, but she knew to listen quietly, wait for the flower doctor to speak, and then start another topic to continue.

"Tu Su wine, it is made of rhubarb, Shu pepper, bellflower, cinnamon, and parsnip...... just as at this time, the flower doctor girl talked about Tusu wine from Jiao Ya Yao, so that Yushu also gained a lot of knowledge.

Ah Leopard was baked by the fire, and his eyelids were so sleepy that he fought, and the flower doctor girl was babbling endlessly with chanting on the side, which also made it even more unbearable to sleep, tilted its head, and fell asleep.

Yushu skillfully peeled the melon seeds, peeled them one by one, and ate them one by one, and listened attentively to the flower doctor girl explaining how to make Tusu wine. The flower doctor girl said that she would stop drinking, and said again with melancholy: "When your aunt marries Zhenwei Dart Bureau, our house will be even colder." ”

Zhang's is quite heroic like a son of the rivers and lakes, speaking crisply and doing things crisply. Hua Yinu and Zhang's got along very well, so she didn't want to part with Zhang's so quickly.

Yushu left the half-peeled melon seeds and said sadly: "Yes, it's cold and boring." ”

Chinese New Year's Eve, should not say this, Yushu turned the conversation around, and talked to the flower doctor girl about the wolf dog raised by Bailiji

Ah Leopard, and talked about the interesting story of the wolf dog Ah Leopard and the kitten Ah Leopard fighting for the little cloth mouse at the door of the dart game.

The flower doctor couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

Poria and the others did their work well, and then sat around the four-legged bed to keep the New Year, the atmosphere was harmonious, happy and harmonious.

This was the first year they spent in Southern Qi away from Donggu. Most of the dishes made by Daiki are familiar to them. Everyone ate and drank, and they missed their families in the East Valley more and more. But today's Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to please a good intention, even if you remember it in your heart, you still have to smile on your face to be festive enough.

After a while, it was dark and Zhang returned.

She didn't care about untying her lotus clothes, sat on the four-legged bed, and poured two or three warm water in a row, then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, I'm tired to death!" ”

The flower doctor girl hurriedly continued: "Don't say these unlucky words in the first month!" ”

Tonight isn't the New Year's Day?

Hearing this, Zhang's paleness pale, his fingers covering the corners of his mouth, and he was annoyed, "Ouch, forget, forget!" ”

Everyone was amused by her, and Yushu also smiled lightly.

Zhang said, "No taboos, no taboos" with his legs raised, kicked off his shoes, rested his feet on the soup woman, and told the grand occasion of the palace with a smile.

"There are a thousand or more of them. Look at that formation, it's really grand......"

Poria and Jin Chuan and Yin Chuan were attracted by what she said, and sat around Yushu, listening with interest.

Ciye and Qiu Tan played with the hidden hook. Whether it is in Nanqi or Donggu, it is a highly regarded small entertainment. The personnel are divided into two teams, one team secretly holds a small hook in one of the hands of one of them, and the other party guesses which person the small hook is in the hand of the person, and guesses the win.

Ciye Daxi team, Gui Zhelian Tong team, Qiu Tan made a bird, and temporarily belonged to Ciye's team.

The two teams guessed three or four rendezvous, and Gui Zhe's team won a big victory. Qiu Tanlian said that his heart was towards Gui Zhe, and he would be cast into Gui Zhe's team in the next round. A few of them laughed and laughed, just to be able to have more flavor of the year, and also to make Yushu happy.

The people in Xie Mansion are not prosperous, but the lively Fanchang cannot be inferior to other families.

Compared with Xie Mansion, the small courtyard of the farmhouse in Fengshan Village was gloomy because of the sudden news of Zhao Jin's death.

Even the high court fire in the courtyard was barely burning.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, Da Lang would send his family members to the Rong family's house to avoid them, and when the palace people left, he would take them home for the New Year.

This year, the Rong family was in confinement and couldn't stand the wind, so she stayed with Xiaowa, and the other two children went to Rong's house with Erlang and Sanlang's wives.

Erlang's wife Heshi and Saburo's wife Shi Shi, like Rong's, both fancy Erlang and Saburo's virtue and talent and marry them. The three of them get along well like sisters, helping each other to live a prosperous life, and never let their husbands worry about family affairs.

Da Lang stabilized his mind here, and then went to his father-in-law's house to pick up the two younger siblings and his nephews.

As soon as He's and Shi's arrived home, they realized that Erlang and Sanlang were not quite right. After the two of them settled the children, they went to ask Rong's.

After all, the Rong family is the eldest sister-in-law, and the three of them have to make up their minds about everything.

If something like this happened in the family, even if they didn't ask, the Rong family had to explain it to them clearly. immediately told the two of them the news of Zhao Jin's death.

Hearst and Shi were also sad when they heard this.

This year, the three brothers of the Zhao family are a sad hurdle.

Thinking that when they came to Fengshan Village, they were still young men who did not understand the world, and all of a sudden, they all married wives and had children, and became the backbone of the family's wives and children.
