Chapter 61: The Night of the Lantern Festival (1)
In a blink of an eye, Xu Lao Er has been at work for a week.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Lin Tong and the old lady have learned to rub a lot of Lantern Festival at home.
She hadn't done this thing before, and she thought it was funny, but she had made rice balls in her previous life, and this was not a practice at all.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were working in front of the panel, and they were happy to watch.
"Mom, tomorrow on the fifteenth, let's just cook the Lantern Festival in the morning! I discussed with the third child, the children are so old that they haven't seen Yangge yet, and I want to take them to play. She paused and said, "The third child is not in a good mood these days, I want him to go and relax, happy and happy." ”
The bad mood was because Xu Lao Er went to work in the cement factory.
The old lady knew it, and she also felt sorry for her little son, "Go ahead, let's go, I'll cook Lantern Festival for you tomorrow morning, and fry some Lantern Festival, and the children are willing to eat it." ”
Wang Guihua said heartlessly: "Mom, the second child also loves to eat fried, fry more!" He eats and goes to work! ”
Since beating Xu Lao Er to go to work, she can unconsciously stand up at home.
The old lady said "um", "I can't leave him behind!" ”
Li Yubo held his breath in his heart, thinking that Wang Guihua was showing off with her, and his eyes turned to Lin Tong, "Sister-in-law, otherwise, you can also go to the town with us!" Haven't you seen Yangge in the town either? ”
Anyway, Wang Guihua's children are small, so it is impossible to go.
Sure enough, Wang Guihua's face was not very good when she heard this, and she was tightly tied to the child, and she couldn't go anywhere.
"Mom, I want to take the child there, it just so happens that the second child gets off work, and we will come back together in the evening."
"You're going? What's the locking column? Who showed it to you? The old lady choked her, "What do you want to do when the child grows up?" Don't spend a day worrying about useless things. ”
Wang Guihua was beaten up, and he was unhappy, but he didn't dare to say more.
In this era, there was no amateur cultural life, and every year during the Lantern Festival, twisting Yangge was a cultural form that the locals liked to watch the most and were most willing to participate in. However, there is no Yangge team in the village, and if you want to see Yangge, you can only go to the town.
Don't look at the distance of the town, but on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, groups of young men and women will go to the town early, just for the excitement of the night.
Of course, every year, because I go home too late, accidents on the mountain road often occur, but I still can't stand the enthusiasm of the people.
Lin Tong had never been to the town to watch Yangge.
In the era in which she lived, Yangge had been gradually replaced by square dance, and even the original reserved program of the Lantern Festival, Yangge, had been canceled a few years earlier.
Lin Tong is not very old, and she also has the heart of young people who love to play and be lively, so she is also very excited to see everyone going to the town to watch Yangge.
"You can't go, who will watch you when you go to Xiao Nian?" The old lady poured a scoop of cold water on her.
Taking a child is not realistic at all, after watching Yangge and going home, I am afraid that it will be nine or ten o'clock, so far away, it is impossible for Xu Nian to walk home by himself at night.
The mountain road was dark, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and she didn't have the physical strength to bring the child back.
The old lady saw that her two daughters-in-law were wilted, and said as if she was gracious: "I heard that the commune will come to our village tomorrow to show a movie, and tomorrow I will take the children to the movie!" Don't think about going to town, it's too far away and it's not safe. ”
Wang Guihua was happy when he heard it, he couldn't watch Yangge, and it was also very good to watch movies.
Lin Tong is not interested, what is there to watch about the curtain sky movies in this era?
Early in the morning of the Lantern Festival, Xu Laosan's family had breakfast, entered the house and muttered to the old lady for a long time.
Wang Guihua whispered to Lin Tong: "Our mother has given money to the third child again, I have watched it, and our mother is too partial to the third child." ”
Lin Tong thought to himself, your man gets more money these days when he goes to work.
Lin Tong ate steamed Lantern Festival for the first time, with some sugar, which was very delicious.
It's a pity that there is a little less sugar.
Lin Tong felt that she might be too sensitive, she always felt that since Xu Zhenhua left, the food at home was much better than when he was there.
Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year?
Lin Tong doesn't want to think badly of people.
These people are all relatives of Xu Zhenhua.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Xu family had a Lantern Festival all day long, cooking the Lantern Festival, steaming the Lantern Festival, and frying the Lantern Festival in the morning.
At noon, boil the Lantern Festival, steam the Lantern Festival, and fry the Lantern Festival.
In the evening, it is boiling, steaming, and frying.
This Lantern Festival is definitely a good thing in this era, but you can't eat anything delicious in one go!
It's delicious to eat, but who can stand the Lantern Festival!
The movie was released at seven o'clock, and the Xu family's dinner was finished at five o'clock, Lin Tong looked at the sweetness that the big guy ate, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
However, she still looked at Xu Nian, "Don't eat too much, this thing is sticky, and you can't digest it if you eat too much." ”
The old lady glanced up at her, "It's okay, it's not like you go to bed after eating." After eating this sticky food, I can't press the kang head, and I will go out to watch a movie in a while, and I will be a few hours away from sleeping! ”
However, Lin Tong's behavior of caring for the child made the old lady very satisfied.
After eating, the old lady waved her hand, "Okay, let's go quickly, go early to occupy the space, and if you go late, you can't get forward." I'll clean up this bowl today. ”
Lin Tong didn't want to go, she was sitting there watching a movie on a cold day, she really wasn't interested!
Wang Guihua had already wrapped up the small lock pillars, called the two daughters, one of them moved a small horse, and hurriedly went to the yard, and did not forget to call Lin Tong when he left: "Sister-in-law, hurry up, I'll help you occupy a good place first." ”
Xu Nian was also anxious, and pulled her arm and pushed it out, "Mom, hurry up, there's no place to go anymore." ”
Lin Tong had no choice but to put on a cotton coat for him, put on a hat and a scarf, and dragged him out of the house.
The old man also got dressed, carried a small bench by himself, and walked around to find an old man from the same village.
The old lady packed up and hurried to the theater, the movie didn't show until seven o'clock, but the theater was full of people at half past five, and many people came from nearby villages, which was no worse than the town.
This is a revolutionary movie, Lin Tong's mother often watched it when she was a child, and she herself watched it on TV, she was forced to watch it by her mother when she was a child, and she didn't have much interest.
Just a few minutes after the show started, she couldn't sit still, sitting here for hours on this cold day, isn't it stupid!
said to the old lady on the side: "Mom, there is no one at home, I just went back to boil water to take a bath, and I will come back to pick up Xiao Nian later." ”
The old lady knew that she loved cleanliness, and she was so happy to see that she didn't even look at her, and waved her hand, "Go, go, don't forget to come back." ”
Lin Tong bent down and walked out of the crowd, and someone immediately stepped forward to sit down in her vacated place.
For so many days, when I was helping my second brother and sister-in-law out of the stall in the town a few years ago, I took the time to go to the bath and take a bath.
Today, taking advantage of the fact that there is no one at home today, she wants to go back to take a bath, and she lives with her in-laws every day, and she doesn't even have a room of her own, which is too inconvenient.
