Ye Guangdou was finally unwilling and reluctantly left.

Jiang Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally sent this plague god away.

No, the plague god is not counted, to be precise, he sent the "hardcover gangster" away.

"Mom, then I'll go find Uncle Tan first!"

Jiang Xiaobai greeted, went to get two bottles of Jianyang Daqu, put them in a convenient bag, and Shi Shiran went out.

As for what my mother said about taking cigarettes, he didn't take them.

Tan Carpenter does not smoke paper cigarettes, only leaf cigarettes.

So I took two bottles of wine.

Moutai will not give it away, even if it is Uncle Tan, two bottles of Jianyang Daqu are fine, anyway, it is a meaning.

As soon as I walked to the door, I bumped into a person.

"Xiaobai, are you going to go out?"

"Uncle Tan, why are you here?"

The person who came was Carpenter Tan, who was holding a big black bag in one hand, and he didn't know what it contained, and the two said in unison.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "I'm about to go to your house!" ”

Carpenter Tan looked at the two bottles of wine that Jiang Xiaobai had mentioned, and said, "Are you looking for me to take the wine?" It's too out-of-the-box! Is there something wrong with you? ”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "What else can I do to find you on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month?" ”

Carpenter Tan laughed: "That's looking for me to write a pair!" ”

"Uncle Tan is wise!"

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile and gave a thumbs up.

Carpenter Tan raised the two black bags in his hand and said, "I know that there are many doors and column heads in your house, and I have written all the couplets you need in advance. ”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Carpenter Tan to write it a long time ago and send it over himself.

"Thank you, Uncle Tan!"

There are no superfluous words, just keep this favor in mind.

It's not that I'm grateful to Carpenter Tan for helping him write couplets, but that people are pretending to be his family's affairs and pretending to be him as a person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped him write the Spring Festival couplets in advance.

"Tell me this!"

Carpenter Tan smiled and said.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, said no more, and invited him into the house.

Wang Xiuju and Jiang Xiaoqing both went to the backyard to clean up, and there was no one in the side hall, Jiang Xiaobai beckoned Carpenter Tan to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Uncle Tan, drink tea!"

Carpenter Tan took a sip and asked, "Shanshan, aren't they at home?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "They went to the uncle's house, and today they are baking bean skin." ”

Carpenter Tan nodded and asked, "Tomorrow's reunion, is it at your uncle's house first?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I used to be at my uncle's house in the morning every year, and this year it should be too!" ”

In the countryside, in the thirtieth year of the lunar month, it is generally the brothers of the family who take turns to eat.

For example, Jiang Xiaobai and his family, in previous years, they were at Jiang Haitian's house in the morning, Jiang Haiyang's house at noon, and Jiang Haibo's house in the afternoon.

The family of the three brothers is basically like this.

If there are many brothers, there are also those who start the reunion year on the 29th of the lunar month.

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he said, "Uncle Tan, what about you?" ”

Tan Carpenter said: "I have been with Qingshan all year round, go to his house in the morning, and come to my house at noon." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

There are two brothers in the Tan carpenter family, but his elder brother has passed away, leaving only Tan Qingshan, an only son.

In this way, during the reunion year, Tan Carpenter and Tan Qingshan, the uncle and nephew, teamed up for the reunion year.

Of course, there are also some single households in the countryside without brothers, children and nephews, in order to not eat their own family meals as usual in order to do the Chinese New Year's Eve, but also have a good relationship with the same village, and also partner with people from single households for the New Year.

One meal at your house, one meal at my house.

Walk around like this, and it's lively.

Whose family to go to for the New Year, these are the common words that rural people often talk about before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Xiaobai chatted with Carpenter Tan for a while, and Carpenter Tan said goodbye and left.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't keep him either, knowing that there were many people who went to him to write Spring Festival couplets today, and leaving him here would only mislead other people's affairs.

"Uncle Tan, bring these two bottles of wine back and drink them tomorrow during the New Year."

Carpenter Tan said: "I bought all the wine." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "What you bought was what you bought, and what I gave was what I sent, is it possible that you still want me to mention you to your home?" ”

When Carpenter Tan heard him say this, he had no choice but to accept it.

After Carpenter Tan left, Jiang Xiaobai opened the bag and looked at it, only to see that it was full of couplets, each of which was wrapped into a cylindrical cylinder and tied with a rubber band, and the cylindrical cylinder was of different lengths, obviously the width of the couplets was different.

It is also Tan Carpenter who is attentive, taking into account the different sizes of each door.

In general, the couplets on the doors and capitals are wide and long, while the couplets on the doors of the inner houses are relatively short and narrow.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and didn't open it.

It's not too late to look at it tomorrow when you post it.

The things that his mother explained were done, and he seemed to have nothing to do for a while.

I wanted to help Jiang Xiaoqing and Jiang Xiaolei clean up, but after thinking about it, I forgot it.

He walked to the kang room, took a look at a room full of bacon from the kang, brought a ladder, and took a preserved pig's head, a cured hoof, a piece of preserved pork ribs, a preserved sitting meat, and a preserved pork belly.

Then look at the heart and lungs, intestines, and pork liver, and each take a cage.

There was also a piece of bacon meat brought from Tucheng last time, Jiang Xiaobai looked at it and took it down.

Jiang Xiaobai took the removed wax goods to the stove house one by one, then put them in a large cauldron, and then lit the fire and began to clean them.

Washing bacon during the New Year is also a very important job.

In previous years, Wang Xiuju did these things, and they were usually done on the evening of the twenty-ninth day.

Jiang Xiaobai had nothing to do, so he washed it in advance.

In addition, melon seeds and peanuts are usually fried on the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, but this year there is no need for it, Jiang Xiaobai brought back a large number of various snacks from the excellent store, but it saved one thing.

After a busy time, Jiang Xiaobai washed the bacon.

Idle again.

He returned to the side room, added some coals to the fire table, poured a cup of tea, and lit a cigarette.

As soon as he took a few puffs, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and soon Jiang Shan's figure flashed into the house.

"You didn't go to grandpa's house, why did you come back?" Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise.

Jiang Shan said: "The second uncle went to Grandpa Tan's house to write the Spring Festival couplets, and I came back. ”

Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the bag next to him and said, "Your grandfather Tan has written it and sent it." ”

Jiang Shan opened the bag, saw that it was full of wrapped red paper tubes, and exclaimed, "So many!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "There are many doors in our house, so there are many." ”

Jiang Shan nodded and asked with a smile: "Baba, when are we going to post Spring Festival couplets?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be in the grandfather's house for the New Year, and when I come back, I will post the Spring Festival couplets." ”

"Oooh!" Jiang Shan responded and said, "Then tomorrow I will paste the Spring Festival couplets with Baba." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "No problem, tomorrow we will paste Spring Festival couplets together!" ”
