Chapter 16 Coming Home for a Happy Occasion

Seeing that there was no place to put the things that passed here, the Wang brothers shouted, and took the Yang family's things out regardless of it, and the door was piled up in a mess, and the house was finally vacated.

I can't say that the house is dirty, the lamp nest on the wall is blackened, the lamp oil flows out of the underworld, the cobwebs on the roof are all over the place, the ground is thick with dust, and there is a strange smell in the room.

Although the thatched hut in the town is simple, Wen Jin doesn't find it unacceptable, but it is dirty here. Let her stand at the door, dead or alive, and she can't step into her feet.

Webster put the cloth on his head, asked for a broom and went into the house, Wen Jin ran to the house next door, wanting to ask where there was white soil.

The eldest lady next door frowned in annoyance: "Go east out of the village, someone burned lime there a few days ago, you go pick up a few pieces." ”

How can you not take away the burned lime? It's nothing more than letting you sweep the debris on the floor. Wen Jin sighed, so that he could brush the wall and make it cleaner enough for people to go in.

Qian Chuanchuan wanted to ask the second brother to help her move, but when she saw the appearance of her younger brother and his wife, she couldn't say anything when it came to her mouth. Finally, ask for the person who will help you move.

The Wang brothers also helped to clean up, only Song Laosi sat on the donkey cart and smoked dry cigarettes, as soon as the words of Qian Chuanchuan let the help come out, Song Laosi smiled and agreed, Qian Chuanchuan didn't have time to be happy, and the latter sentence made her laugh immediately: "Ten cents for a trip, I will help you load and unload." ”

Song Laosi's reputation is not kind, in the winter, there is nothing to go out in the town, and the business of the donkey cart is very light. He was able to move mainly because he wanted to mix a meal.

Looking at the sun, Qian String reluctantly agreed. There is a particular thing about moving, and it is necessary to place the stove master properly before noon, otherwise, the family will lack food and drink, and life will not be smooth.

Seeing that the ox cart of the Song family was idle, Qian String also wanted people to help, who wanted Song Laosi to be afraid that the Wang family would say that he was not righteous, so he quickly said the price. Wang Dashan has a few brothers, who were originally aggrieved by Wen Jin's family, I heard that they have money to take, where are they willing to work in vain? There was no way to string money, so I had to take out twenty wen, and the Yang family's moving team also set off.

The Yang family is a small quadrangle with three rooms, three upper rooms, Qian Xiancheng and his wife live in the west second room, Wen Han lives in the east second room, the wing room is one, Wen Jin lives in the west wing, the east wing is used as a kitchen, and the inverted seat room in the south is sundries.

The furniture was moved out, just a big cleaning, except for Wang Dashan to drive the ox cart, several other brothers of the Wang family, all helped to clean up, and it was done quickly, Tie Shan also carefully used a shovel to shovel down the traces of lamp oil on the wall.

Wen Jin really found the bottom of the burnt lime, carefully swept out some white soil, took it back and soaked it in water, everyone brought a basin, dipped a broom in white water, and brushed the earthen wall.

The walls are made of bricks, but in this society, where is there latex paint? Naturally smoothed with mud, the inside is whitewashed with lime water.

"After a while, the wall will be white." Wen Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Wei was very relieved to see that his nephew was so smart.

Patted the soil on his body clean, fetched water, scrubbed his hands and face and the dust on his head, the family respectfully placed the tablet of the stove master, and then, put a firecracker at the gate, Qian Xiancheng carried a dustpan of miscellaneous grains, meaning a bumper harvest, Wei Shi carried a stack of clothes, a few cakes, this is called worry-free food and clothing, Wen Han held a stack of books, that is, the heirloom of poetry and books, Wen Jin Finally, holding a hug of firewood, this is called Wishing you prosperity, the family walked into the gate with joy, and the moving ceremony was completed.

After installing the stove, Wei quickly boiled hot water and asked the Wang brothers to wash it well, and Qian Xiancheng went to invite the mayor, the elder and the neighbors of Shanwo Village to set up a table in the living room of the upper room.

The Wang brothers sat in the west room where Wen Han lived.

Of course, straw mounds and stools can't be put on the table, and the tables and stools used for hospitality are all borrowed from neighbors.

The father and son were busy entertaining guests, Wen Jin and Wei were busy in the kitchen, and last night they pulled out the frozen wild boar, rabbit meat, pork belly, pork liver, fat intestines, etc. from the snow nest.

When he came to Shanwo Village, he was not afraid that the old Jiao family would come to ask for it, and Wen Jin could let go of his hands and feet.

Spicy stir-fried bamboo shoots and fat sausages, spicy tofu, braised hare, cold gray cabbage, sour and hot cabbage, dried mountain vegetables and pork, astragalus, yam wolf rib soup, plus roasted yellow, orange and orange two-sided paste.

Dashan just rushed back, he would never go to Yang's house to eat, this is not a matter of food, human favor is the most important, not to mention that the money is so dirty, it makes people lose their appetite when they think about it.

The people in the mountain nest have already offended the money strings, and I heard that it was her relatives who moved here, and the elder and the elder were reluctant to come, which is also the reason why Wen Jin went to the neighbor's house, and the people were cold.

It was Qian Xiancheng who came forward to invite guests, he was 100% sincere and polite to people, and the other party couldn't say anything to refuse for a while, but seeing that they even had to borrow a table and a stool, thinking that they were a poor family, and they couldn't eat anything good, and when they sat down, the dishes were served one by one, and several people couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The family is poor, and the dishes are good, which proves that this person is a sincere and hospitable person, the elder and the elderly, as well as the two people from the neighbor's house, couldn't help but smile on their faces, and their attitude towards Qian Xiancheng immediately became enthusiastic.

On the first day of meeting, the people who ate were very reserved at first, and they didn't dare to let go of eating, but the deliciousness of the dish was never smelled in their lives, and they had never eaten it.

The people of Shanwo Village said goodbye and left, and the Wang brothers dared to speak loudly.

"Did Wen Jin do this? She sent my fat sausage back to my house, and it was so delicious, I almost bit my tongue off. "It was Dashan's younger brother Mingshan who spoke, he was only fifteen, because he was an old child, he was pampered by his father, and Dashan's steady personality was completely different, he dared to speak and act, and his temperament was straightforward.

"Tell me, how does this Wen Jin do what it looks like, stir-fried vegetables are delicious?" Tie Shan couldn't figure it out, he was skillful and often praised by others, but compared to Wen Jin, he was inferior by more than one or two points, which made him very shocked.

The praised cook, who was eating sour noodle soup at this time, smoked oil smoke by the pot for a long time, Wen Jin couldn't eat a bite of greasy things, Wei was distressed, and made him a bowl of noodles.

The house is an old house, the walls have dried thoroughly, and the white water that was brushed just now has seeped in, and the Wang brothers helped to paint it a second time, and then they said goodbye and left.

After sending off the guests, the Qian family put up the bed, spread it, and moved the furniture into the house, and the moving work was successfully completed.

When I returned the stool and table, as a thank you, I gave some wild boar meat to my neighbor, although it was only a small piece, which was also a heart.

Qian Xiancheng went to the county seat the next day, Wen Jin and Wen Han, and continued to follow Wei to clean up the housework.

The courtyard of the Qian family is paved with bricks, but now, there is a thick layer of dust on the brick surface, Wen Han had to shovel it down with an iron shovel, Wei cleaned it, and Wen Jin loaded it basket by basket, mentioning the vegetable field in the backyard as fertilizer.

The house was brushed, white and clean, but the outside of the house was still gray, and when the yard was cleaned up, they swept the exterior wall again, repainted, and the three of them were busy for seven or eight days, and the new home was finally clean inside and out, and they were comfortable to look at.

Seeing their family, it is completely different from Yang Shanwa's behavior of money strings, these days when they go out, when they meet people at the door, some of them take the initiative to say hello, and some people enthusiastically express their willingness to help them paint the wall, Wei Shi smiled and declined, and his heart was very happy, and the grievances of having to move to Shanwo Village finally dissipated.

Wen Han began to burrow into the house and read again. Well, it can't be called a sneak look, isn't it so long, doesn't Webster know what his son is doing? It seems that although she opposes her son's exam, she does not object to her son's study.

Wei was busy making clothes for his family, Wen Jin and Wen Han's clothes were all old clothes, and they were all torn this winter, especially Wen Jin's, it was originally Qian Xiancheng who withdrew to Wen Han, and Wen Han returned it to him, and he was already thin, and with a little force, it bloomed, so scared that Wen Jin put on a padded jacket, and didn't even dare to make a larger move.

Now, I have a little money on hand, although I still want to save the money for next year's seed farming tools, but I can't be too wronged by the child, Wei pulled the muslin cloth, and made new clothes for his son and nephew.

The New Year's goods in the kitchen were all prepared by Wen Jin, and she also asked Tie Shan to help make leather shoes for the family, and Webster's labor was greatly reduced, so she attached more importance to Wen Jin.

Wen Jin had just been idle for two days, and Wang Mingshan suddenly drove the ox cart over.

"Second Aunt Qian, come to the house for a treat, please all go."

"Come home?" Everyone was stunned, is there any happy event?

"Oh, great joy, the widow is not a widow."

She remarried? No, no, it should be called a recruitment. This thought came out of several people's minds at the same time, this Wang Mingshan, he must have guessed, he raised his head and laughed a few times, and then lifted the lid: "Come back to Songnian." ”

"Huh? He's not dead? ”

"No, I just have no legs, and I crawled back on my hands. He said that it took two years to climb to get home, oops, that hand is rotten, it's really pitiful. Wang Mingshan felt sorry twice, and continued, "I came to the house to thank my neighbors for their help to his family in the past few years, and especially asked me to pick up your family, saying that without you, I would not have come home." ”

"How can we have so much credit." Webster said modestly.

Wen Jin heard about it and was very happy: "It's good to come back, it's better to have no legs than no life, this family finally has a backbone." ”

"Not really." Wang Mingshan said, "The eldest brother who came here still wants me to catch the car, and I came to pick you up in person, but I made my own decision and left him behind, don't you blame me?" ”

"How so?" Merriam-Webster Road.
