Not surprisingly, on the day Gao Dalang arrived home, Uncle Gao knew the situation and chased Gao Dalang for an hour.

Ah Di listened to the screams and unconsciously stayed away.

After that, Uncle Gao came to the house with the family's savings of more than six taels of silver.

"I heard Da Lang say, thanks to the help of Xiao Fu, otherwise I don't know what the result would be."

"This money must be repaid, you can live in this house for as long as you want, you don't have to pay the rent, without Xiaofu, our family will have to go bankrupt!"

"No, no, no, it's a matter of facts! Isn't Da Lang's life worth this rent fee?! Let you take it and take it! You are the benefactors of our Gao family! O nobleman! I'm scared when I think about it now! ”

In the end, Fu Yuanzhi accepted six taels plus one hundred wen, and the one hundred wen was the jade bracelet that Song Huan bought.

Uncle Gao and Kang's were fortunate more than once afterwards, but fortunately, Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi went to the city and saved Gao Dalang.

How much silver does it cost for thirty taels of silver?!

They had never seen thirty taels in their lives!

If the Gao family loses this amount of money, it will really be bankrupt, and there will be nothing.

After this incident, Uncle Gao's attitude towards Song Huan and others changed slightly.

At first, I just wanted to earn that little bit of rent, and the two parties were just a little better tenant and landlord relationship.

But after Gao Dalang's incident, the relationship between the tenants and the benefactor changed to a relationship between benefactors, and the intersection became closer, and even the Gao family fried some dishes with meat and gave some to Song Huan and them to eat.

Fortunately, Song Huan and they won't stay forever, otherwise it would be a lot of expense to keep sending them like this!

And the Gao family is even more determined to provide a scholar in the future.

After getting along for a while, Uncle Gao couldn't say how he felt, but he felt that he was a good reader!

After worshipping the stove king on the 24th day of the lunar month, the people will choose an auspicious day for the reunion year, that is, the whole family gathers together for a reunion dinner.

In fact, in this era, which meal is not a reunion dinner?

It's just that because of the special day, this meal is also more important.

The so-called auspicious day is usually determined according to the almanac, if the almanac says that the day is "auspicious", then everything is appropriate, and it is natural to do the reunion year.

If it is written as "fierce", it is not good to do anything, and naturally it is not possible to do the reunion on this day.

"Medium" is between "auspicious" and "fierce", if there is other better choice, do not use this day, if you can no longer make a choice, set on this day.

According to local customs, as long as it is an auspicious day, any day after the 24th day of the lunar month can be a regimental year, and it is not necessary to wait until the 30th day of the lunar month, that is, the last day of the old year, but most people will still choose the last day of the old year, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, every household has to clean their homes, change the shrine and engrave mahogany signs everywhere.

With the experience of celebrating the New Year in Luxian County, this time everyone spent the New Year outside and adapted well.

During this time, in addition to recording the various growth conditions of the caramel wheat and reading and literacy, Ah Di spent most of the rest of his time dealing with his peers in the village.

has a good relationship, and will take my brother to the mountains to pick chestnuts and so on.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Huan and the four of them celebrated the New Year together.

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Fu Yuanzhi and Yan Liu went to Liang's house, so if you are serious, this year is the first year that the four of them have spent together.

New Year's Day

Soon after dawn.

There was a lively sound outside the house, and the words "mài lǎn" were faintly heard.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Ah Di pushed open the door, yawned, and saw someone shouting, "San Lang." ”

Gao Sanlang said, "Song Yi, you move quickly, come with us to be lazy!" ”

Ah Di didn't understand the two words "mài lǎn" for a while.

Gao Sanlang didn't care about the confused brother, and pulled him into the house together, just when he saw Song Huan who came out of the courtyard, he shouted enthusiastically, "Sister Song, Happy New Year!" ”

Song Huan replied to him with a smile and a good New Year, then looked at him holding a fragrant egg in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do here?" ”

Gao Sanlang didn't know that Song Huan and the others did not have the custom of being lazy on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he only said, "Sister Song, hurry up and give Song Yi some incense, boil eggs, we will go to sell laziness together." ”

Song Huan didn't know what kind of activity it was early in the morning, but guessed that it was the custom here, and listened to San Lang's words, and hurriedly lit incense for his brother and boiled eggs.

Then I watched Gao Sanlang teach my brother to hold incense in one hand and eggs in the other, and after running out of the house together, he kept shouting outside that he was lazy.

Song Huan took a closer look, and all the boys who came out of this "mài lǎn" activity did not come out, and none of the girls he saw on weekdays came out.

It is not clear whether it is because boys are prone to laziness and should sell it, or whether it is a manifestation of a patriarchal society.

Song Huan asked Aunt Kang to know that it turned out to be "lazy", as the name suggests, it is to sell laziness.

This activity is only carried out among boys aged twelve or thirteen and younger, and of course adults are also involved.

The general practice is that soon after the first day of the Lunar New Year, parents or grandparents light a stick of incense for the children, boil an egg, let them hold it in their hands, run outside the house and shout lazy, while walking to the community altar outside the village, inserting incense on the incense burner of the shrine, and then eating the egg and then going home.

Usually it is done with a few children in the neighborhood.

This activity also allows children to remember this promise from an early age, that they have been lazy and that they must not be lazy from now on.

Song Huan thought, if this is the case, it is also an inspiration.

After asking the reason, Song Huan also gave Fu Yuanzhi and Yan Liu a fragrant egg each, and pushed out the door to take out and was lazy.

The good name is said to follow the local customs.

Fu Yuanzhi stood at the door with a smile, looked at Yan Liu, who was already stunned, and said, "Let's go together." ”

Fu Yuanzhi thought, finish things early and return early.

Fortunately, there is still a Yan Liu by his side.

He wasn't alone.

Yan Liumu nodded.

He feels very diligent, and he doesn't need to be lazy anymore.

However, since the atmosphere has been set to this point, it is impossible not to do it.

The Spring Festival here is very lively.

The gongs and drums are noisy, and the lion and unicorn dance together, filled with a festive and auspicious atmosphere.

There are many routines for lion dance, such as waking up from a hole, crossing a bridge, and picking green.

The dancing unicorn is accompanied by a phoenix, and the name is Qilin Attracting Phoenix.

They flip up and down, sometimes leaping, sometimes leaping, sometimes overlooking, sometimes stretching, just like a fierce lion majestic and invincible.

The Spring Festival is lively, but it's not just about having fun, there are still many things to do.

Parents or grandparents have already started to cut weeds, take them to the fields to make mud and manure, or throw them in the "ancestral" soil pits at the edge of the fields.

In this way, ploughing and planting in March and April can be used for fertilizer, and there is no need to wait for it to ferment.

After using it, it is used again, and so on.

The twentieth day of the first month

On this day, the village of Changliu will carry out a sacrificial activity.

Because they believe that this day is the birthday of the land lord, in order to pray to the land lord and bless the year of good weather.

The venue of the event was arranged in the open space in front of the ancestral hall of Changliu Village.

The whole village, men, women and children, nearly 1,000 people gathered, which was very grand.
