Chapter 76: Little Chinese New Year's Eve, I went to the county seat
"Erzhu, Brother Hui, Lian'er......"
At the entrance of Huangjia Village, Aunt Erzhu and Aunt Bold were waiting at the entrance of the village early.
Last night, Uncle Erzhu, Uncle Daring, Huang Tinghui, and Lian'er did not return overnight, but these women were in a hurry.
Now I see Huang Tinghui and the others returning safely.
Aunt Erzhu and Aunt Daring all breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were safe, it would be excellent.
"Two pillars!"
Aunt Erzhu sniffed, and Aunt Erzhu, who was usually quite capable, showed a rare delicate appearance at this time.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
"Look at us, aren't we good?"
Uncle Erzhu turned around in front of his aunt and said to his aunt with a smile.
"It's good, it's good!"
Aunt Erzhu smiled.
"Let's go, the old patriarch got a few sheep, and our family also got some mutton."
"That's a good thing, let's go make this lamb!" Aunt Erzhu said to Uncle Erzhu.
Mutton?
Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, the hala of the two-pillar tree is about to flow out.
In this era, mutton is expensive and pork is cheap.
Wealthy families rarely eat pork as meat, and most of them choose mutton.
Compared with pork, lamb meat is more delicious and delicate.
"Mother, are we going to eat mutton?" Huang Tinghui's cousin tilted his head and asked.
"Eat mutton!"
"I'll give you a little more to eat then!"
Aunt Erzhu rubbed her son's head and said to him with a smile.
"Eat mutton, eat mutton!"
Erzhu's aunt's son jumped and said.
"Brother Hui, Lotus, Boldness, Lotus ......"
"Come along!" Aunt Erzhu said to a few people.
The family of Aunt Bold and Aunt Bold often went to Aunt Erzhu's house to eat, and the mutton also had a share of their family.
So they didn't have any politeness, Huang Tingting knew that Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu took care of themselves, so naturally they didn't have anything to say.
It's just that the little girl lowered her head slightly, and the little girl said to Erzhu's aunt very guiltily: "Auntie, I'm sorry!" ”
"Nothing to be worthy, sorry, we're all family."
"Since we are a family, we should help each other."
Aunt Erzhu also rubbed the little girl's head, and she said to the little girl with a smile.
Before the little girl got married, she put on makeup at her house and regarded her home as her "mother's home".
In the eyes of Aunt Erzhu, Wu Feilian is almost like her "daughter".
So how could she blame this kind and simple little girl?
"Let's go, let's go!" Aunt Erzhu took the little girl's hand and walked in the direction of her house.
The group of people also followed Erzhu's aunt in the direction of home.
……
The New Year is approaching, and the faces of the people who are blowing in the howling north wind are a little painful.
Pedestrians on the road raised their collars high to block the howling north wind.
In the cold weather, not to mention people, even the cattle and sheep seem lazy.
But when the sun rose high, there was a little more warmth between heaven and earth.
The new house is still under construction, and it will probably be ready in a few days.
Huang Tinghui and the little girl still borrowed Aunt Erzhu's house.
Early in the morning, Aunt Erzhu called everyone up.
"Erzhu, Brother Hui, Lian'er!"
"Xiao Nian is coming, do you want to go to the county seat?"
"Although there are a lot of things in the market, there are not as many things as in the county."
"You guys go buy some and have a good year!"
Aunt Erzhu is also a lively person, and she didn't marry in Huangjia Village in the early years.
She and her brother often go to the county seat to play tricks.
After all, whether it is Huangjia Village or her maiden home, the distance from the county seat is not particularly far.
It's just that after marrying a wife, Aunt Erzhu hasn't been to the city much.
This year's harvest was good, and Aunt Erzhu wanted to go to the city to buy some things and buy some new clothes for her children.
"To the county seat?" Uncle Erzhu didn't expect his daughter-in-law to think of this.
Just as he was about to say something, Aunt Erzhu said to Uncle Erzhu: "A few days ago, I saw that Brother Hui had been practicing calligraphy with sand!" ”
"Brother Hui is a reader, although it doesn't cost money to practice calligraphy in sand, how can a reader always practice calligraphy with sand and stone, and the words always have to be written on paper, right?"
"There are many peasant families in the bazaar, and there are more people who sell cloth and food, but there are few people who sell writing paper."
"Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, after all, I still have to go to the county seat to buy it."
"Although I am a woman, I still know this."
Aunt Erzhu looked at Uncle Erzhu and said.
Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Uncle Erzhu immediately understood.
For Uncle Erzhu, it is very important for his nephew to have a good future.
Now that his daughter-in-law thought of this, Uncle Erzhu naturally agreed.
"Daughter-in-law, you're right!"
"Words, after all, must be written on paper, and you can't always practice words with river sand."
"Brother Hui, let's go to the county seat together to have a look."
"Buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and add some other things."
"It's about to be the New Year, this year is a good year, it's time for a good year!"
Uncle Erzhu nodded and said.
Seeing that Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu had made up their minds, Huang Tinghui and the little girl had no opinions.
After packing up some things, Huang Tinghui and the others rushed to the ferry.
There are two options to go from Huangjia Village to the county seat, one is to take the land route and the other is to take the water route.
The land route takes a little longer, while the water route is much faster.
Huang Tinghui and Uncle Erzhu naturally chose the waterway to go to the county seat.
So they quickly rushed to the ferry.
According to the head, Huang Tinghui gave the boatman some copper plates, and then got on the boat.
It was smooth sailing in the direction of the county seat, so the boat speed was extremely fast, and it was only a while to Ruian County.
After Huang Tinghui and Uncle Erzhu got off the boat, they walked towards Ruian County.
After everyone walked for a while, Huang Tinghui saw the tall city wall appear in front of him.
In front of the walls there was a wide moat, and the walls were all made of solid stone.
The interior of the county was protected.
There is a gate in the middle of the city wall, which is the city gate of Ruian County.
The high drawbridge was lowered, and the people walked from it to the city.
Although there are these existences in his memory, seeing this scene with his own eyes at this time, Huang Tinghui still has a strange feeling.
This is different from those rough clips in film and television dramas, and it can also be seen from here that ancient people attached great importance to the safety of the city.
"I don't know how majestic the walls of Yanjing and Jinling City will be?"
"That's the southern capital and the northern capital!"
"I don't know if I have the opportunity in this life to go to Yanjing City and Jinling City to take a look."
Huang Tinghui looked at the word "Ryan" written on the city wall, and his thoughts flew far away for a while.
"Brother Hui, let's go!"
Until Uncle Erzhu called Huang Tinghui.
Huang Tinghui put away his mind at this time, and he walked into the city with everyone.
