From the eighteenth day of the first lunar month to the ground breaking, to the white plaster wall to dry, it only took two or three months to repair a tiled house. The room is paved with sturdy blue bricks, and the yard is paved with thick bluestone slabs, so you won't step on muddy water on rainy days. The cage cabinets and tables ordered by Liu Sanping have all been moved into the new home, and the shelf bed that Liu's father has carefully built is firmly placed in the east room, and the lily is specially made of cloth

The bedspread is used in four seasons.

Pick a good day, and everyone will come to help Lily move.

The first thing to move is the portrait of the Bodhisattva of the Stove King, the first day of the first month of the first month to receive the stove, now move to a new house, the Stove King Bodhisattva must be the first to move in, for the stove, to protect the safety of the house.

According to local customs, when moving to a new house, the person who enters the door must take one or two things in his hand, even if it is a firewood or a needle, and put it at home after taking it in, indicating that he will bring wealth to the family.

In any case, you should not enter the door empty-handed, as that symbolizes taking away the wealth of the family.

The people who came to help move the house, either carrying a box, or holding a jar, and there were also people who carried stools, those who carried baskets, and those who carried knives and scissors, and none of them were empty-handed.

Xing'er and Ju'er, although they are cautious, are big, and they always want to participate in such a big event, and entangle their mother to one head and two big. Lily looked funny, and hurriedly stuffed a pair of insoles into one person: "This is the most valuable, help my aunt send it to the new house." ”

The new house and the old house are separated by two zhang distance, and when they move over, the old house will not be demolished, and some onions, ginger and garlic are still planted in the yard, and a few thatched huts are used to raise chickens and ducks, which just saves the effort of building a shack.

The first meal in the new house must be to treat everyone to something good, and thank them for their enthusiasm for helping in the past few months.

Steam the white rice in a large pot and add the vinaigrette noodles in another pot.

The toon sprouts pickled in the spring of the old year are taken out and washed with water to remove the salt, and they are fried with eggs until fragrant, and they are fragrant without adding additional salt.

The cabbage just taken out of the cellar is still tender and raw, fried with lard residue, the leaves are smooth and sweet, the oil residue is crispy and chewy, and the two wonderful tastes are in one place, making people want to eat it.

Cowpeas, radishes, carrots are fished out of the jar, chopped and mixed well, it is an appetizing and refreshing cold dish, the taste is delicious, the color is also good-looking, the apricots pick the red carrots to eat, and the bite is crisp.

Kill a chicken again, stew a pot of wild mushroom soup, the mushrooms were picked from the deep mountains in the Song Dynasty years ago, it is not common in the town, and few people can swallow their tongues.

The pork belly is extremely expensive, Lily bought five or six catties, cut it into one-inch square dices, take rock sugar and fry it to taste, stew a pot of braised pork, everyone can get a bowl.

The pork belly is thin and fat, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, rock sugar increases its umami, autumn oil blends out a mellow salty fragrance, and the mouth is full of oil in one bite, and everyone has a satisfied smile on their faces.

This meal is full of oil and water, the ingredients are good, everyone is satisfied, and a few young people even praise: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship can be a chef." ”

When you get married in the countryside, you have to invite a woman you know to help, and the best one is recommended as a chef, and you have to ask such a person to help, just like a mason, you have to bring wine and meat to get started.

Lily hurriedly modest: "What kind of craft is this, it's just some home-cooked food, and when I turn around and ask the chef to hear it, I want to say that I am frivolous." ”

Li Caifeng didn't spare people anymore and laughed: "I won't know how to shirk until you're lazy." He said to the young man, "Go back and get married, bring wine and meat to invite your sister-in-law, if she doesn't go, I have to force her to go!"

The young man laughed: "Then I'll make a note of it, and it's all up to my sisters-in-law in the future!"

A person next to him smiled and said, "You haven't seen your daughter-in-law yet, but you have booked the chef first." ”

The young man's face flushed, not to be outdone: "What's the matter, I married my daughter-in-law when I went back, and asked her to come and learn from my sister-in-law. ”

Song Haonian sneered: "When do I eat alone?"

Every time the good things made by the lily were given to the brothers to taste, and the young man did not eat less.

After eating and drinking, everyone said that everyone was tired these days, and they should go back to sleep as soon as possible, so that Song Haonian and his family could rest well, and they each helped the old and the young to disperse.

If you are still stunned today, Song Haonian and Lily slept in the one with the kang in the east room, and Lamei's room was in the west room of the main room.

Once upon a time, the two sisters' houses were separated by a wall, and the movement could be heard when it was louder.

Now that the room was far away, Lily was very uneasy, and repeatedly told her to leave a gap in the window at night, so as not to put the charcoal basin in the house and emit gas and smoke people.

And he said, "This is your own house, and it will be darker at night, so don't be afraid." ”

The house is not dark at all, and after moving, an oil lamp is used, a shallow lamp, a puddle of rapeseed oil in it, and the wick of the cotton thread twist is soaked in oil and burns slowly, and the wick is just dialed out every hour or so.

This oil lamp is exquisite, the lamp bowl looks very deep from the outside, but it is very shallow from the inside, but it is made into the shape of a false abdomen, and a small hole is opened in the upper part of the false abdomen, and cold water is poured into it along the small hole.

When the wick is burned, the temperature of the lamp oil rises, and the more it burns, the faster it burns, adding cold water to the belly of the lamp to reduce the temperature of the lamp oil, which can greatly slow down the burning rate. On weekdays, a lamp of oil can burn for two or three days, but with such a lamp, it can burn for four or five days.

This is what is known as the "fuel-efficient lamp". Lamei looked at her new house: the walls were whitewashed, and the floor was paved with green bricks, and it was cleanly swept. The wooden bed, the half-new bedding, everything is neat. The new table and stool, on the table are her bronze mirrors, head ropes, etc., and a few boxes of rouge gouache that her eldest sister has,

There must be her.

In the corner was a wooden chest for her to dress and herself, and on the top of the box was a brass lock, and the key hung on her.

Lamei was more than ten years old, and it was the first time she slept in such a good house, and she was afraid to go a little first, and said to Lily: "Sister, go to sleep quickly, after these days, you are not happy?"

Lily nodded at her in the air: "Don't cry and come to me if you're scared at night." ”

"No!" Lamei blushed, she was not a little doll, she was really scared, and she could cry to find her eldest sister?

When Lily returned to her room, there was a warm yellow oil lamp, and the light flickered slightly, shining the figure on the snow-white window paper. They slept in the east wing in the winter, and moved back to the east room in the summer, where it was cool. The kang burned warmly, Song Haonian was strong, and said that the house was too hot, Lily took the porcelain pot to the kitchen to pour a pot of hot water into the new home and bought a whole set of furniture and porcelain, this pot said that it was a good porcelain made in Jingdezhen, and put it on the table, and took a cotton nest to cover, which can keep warm to the second half

Night.

The room was warm, and after a while, there was a thin layer of sweat on the body, and the thick cotton jacket could not be worn, so Lily took off the cotton jacket and folded it at the head of the bed, revealing a small gown embroidered with the same color entwined branches and lotus.

It was the first time for the young couple to live in such a house, and they felt novelty everywhere, and they were even more excited to think that this house was cleaned up by their own hands inside and out.

Lily smiled and said to Song Haonian: "You said earlier that you would ask me to live in a big house, but I didn't expect to live in a big house." ”

Song Haonian laughed: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, you can still do it." ”

If he is the only one in this family who can make money, he can barely make ends meet, but he is lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law, and he has all the energy inside and outside the house, he has no worries, and he has saved enough money to repair the house in one go, and he will have a new house to live in just over a year.

After that, they will only be better off.

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, it is a lover in the eyes, how does Song Haonian look at Lily and how does she feel good-looking, her heart is pounding, and she walks over and holds her in her arms.

The overlapping shadows were reflected in the window, and Lily blushed and wanted to blow out the lamp.

Song Haonian hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't blow it, I want to take a good look at you." ”

Lily was stunned, and when she reacted, the blood rushed up her head, and she was so dizzy that she was so drunk that she could barely stand up, so she had to lean on him tightly, lest she slide down and make a fool of herself.

Her reaction made Song Haonian feel unspeakable joy, he felt that his daughter-in-law was like a white and tender sweet bean flower, and he wanted to swallow it whole, but he was afraid that his strength would be too big and break her.

The shadows on the window overlapped and intertwined, parting and merging, and Lily saw his eyes in a distraction. There was a burning light in her pretty eyes, and it was going to burn all the way into her soul. The pupils seemed to be full of stars, and Lily was fascinated by it, and he couldn't help but call him a strong scream, and his hands and feet spasmed around him, making a ball.
