Chapter 128: New Year's Eve in a Foreign Country

Chen Jing listened to Du Chengwu's general words of admonition.

Out for more than half a year, the first time to spend the New Year outside, in the future, with the increase in cultivation, the realm climbs, Shouyuan is comparable to the immortals, there will always be intentional or unintentional missed secular solar terms, because of the situation, but also the monk's mouth of the "too forgetful", almost irreversible.

Fortunately, he and Cui Niu are not very old, and they are even more immature among the monks, and they still have a lot of nostalgia for the mundane world, and it is too early for them to think about the "lonely family".

"Sister Peng, no, I see that the roof of our house is very clean, and I don't need to clean it carefully, it means a while."

Cui Ying stood on the ladder, holding a broom, fiddling with it for a while.

Peng E held on to the ladder below and shouted: "Less nonsense, big New Year, dust and sweep the house, who is not clean, lazy and lazy." Look at you are so lazy, what's the matter, in previous years, you were too lazy to move at home? ”

Cui Ying pouted and said, "My house is a thatched house, so I don't need to sweep the roof." ”

"Don't sweep the house or yard?"

"Anyway, I patronized and played tricks, and I didn't see Master and they blame me."

"I knew it!"

Peng E looked at Chen Jing, who was sweeping the wall, turned around and slapped Cui Ying's calf, "So lazy, you have to be diligent and hurry up to marry another daughter-in-law in the future, otherwise the whole family will be lazy, and the whole family will wait to live in the pigsty." ”

Cui Ying laughed heartlessly on it, "How can I marry one more, a hero like me, I have to have a group of wives and concubines to become a hero." ”

After saying that, he went up the wooden ladder to the roof.

Peng E looked frightened from below and reminded: "Be careful, the tile house can't support your big guy." ”

"My kung fu is not in vain, Sister Peng, you take back your heart, look at it."

Cui Ying stepped on the backbone of the roof, moved forward in small steps, and swept the broom in her hand left and right, which was really the same as what she said, and the meaning was instant.

After sweeping, he totoed a little and flew down, making Peng E, who was in his eyes, happy and annoyed, "What a big person, reckless and reckless." ”

Du Chengwu greeted his daughter-in-law in the courtyard, "Will our family buy a pair of Spring Festival couplets this year, or write them yourself?" ”

"I'm coming!" Cui Ying blurted out after hearing this.

Chen Jing stared at her and said, "Can the ink in your stomach be two or two, can it soak through the brush?" ”

Cui Ying said disapprerovitically: "Isn't it just a pair of Spring Festival couplets, just open your mouth and come." ”

Although I haven't seen her for a few years, with Du Rong's opinion of Cui Ying, I am not very optimistic about her big package.

Du Chengwu brought a table, three long red papers, two long and one short, pen and ink waiting, and said to Cui Ying: "Have you thought about what to write?" ”

Cui Ying clasped her nose with her fingers, pointed to the red paper and said, "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come." ”

Chen Jing was still waiting for the following, and when he saw Cui Niu's stunned appearance, he realized that "That's it?" ”

Cui Yinghan smiled and nodded, "Alas, yes, that's it." ”

Du Chengwu couldn't cry or laugh.

Peng E trembled with laughter, "What a stupid big man." ”

Du Rong looked at Chen Jing and said, "Let's let Brother Jing try it." ”

Cui Ying drove the ducks to the shelves by herself, and was still unconvinced of defeat when she was seen as a joke: "Isn't it good to be simple and straightforward?" Anyone who sees it can see it at a glance, and they can't find fault with it. ”

Du Chengwu shook his head and said: "It's too straightforward, let outsiders see our jokes, like you said, whoever looks at it will know that the house is full of white ding, and only recognizes a few words." ”

"Then I'll try." Chen Jing spread out the red paper and picked up the brush.

After writing in one breath, Chen Jing put down the brush and asked a few people to point out.

"Except for the old as the east passes, and the spring is welcomed across the mountains."

Du Chengwu nodded, "The words are written so-so, but the implication is good, it is very appropriate for our family, so use this pair to make Spring Festival couplets." ”

Cui Ying waved his hand and stopped: "Forget about using him for couplets, I won't fight for this, and it's hard to accept it." But this banner, you should think about me, how about using 'New Year'? ”

Du Rong was angry and funny, pushed her and said, "You have a few words hidden in your stomach, don't be ugly." ”

Cui Ying puffed up his chest and said righteously: "As a hero, you should know the difficulties and move forward." ”

In the end, a few people couldn't resist her, so she let her do it herself, and wrote three words crookedly and hung on the door frame, which was eye-catching, especially compared with Chen Jing's words, the fonts of the words and meanings were inferior.

With a thick skin like Cui Ying, at first he could appreciate himself, but then the more he looked at it, the more wrong he became, and he planned to take a blessing word and paste it upside down with the banner, but was stopped by Peng E, "That's it, it's also Cui Daxia's masterpiece, and no one will come to patronize it in the future, but it can't be covered." ”

What a big deal, it should be a stain, Cui Ying quietly said a few words to the well-behaved sister Rong, after the New Year, the couplet can continue to hang, and the banner helped her tear it early, and she must not leave a chance for outsiders to speak.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, eating dumplings, Peng E specially wrapped the amount of ten servings, thinking that even if there was a surplus, at most two days, there would be no left.

Cui Ying gobbled up the last bite, and when Peng E went to the stove room to order dumplings again, it was gone, her old face was red, and she didn't expect that stupid big man to be so edible.

When she returned to the house, Cui Ying was about to get up and eat again, but Peng E dumped her, "Don't go, it's gone." ”

Du Chengwu looked at the remaining dumplings in the bowl and gave his daughter-in-law a look.

Peng E rolled his eyes back.

Got it.

Chen Jing pointed to Cui Niu's belly and said to the two couples: "Don't worry about her, look at her belly, she is not hungry or full when she eats, she has no moderation, she will be fine for a few days when she is hungry." ”

As a woman, Peng E apologized: "There is no shortage of food at home, but I am lazy." ”

Cui Ying put the bowl down, took Peng E's hand, and said with emotion: "This time I'm greedy, I can't help it, Sister Peng, your skills are too good, just this hand, my master can't catch up even if he shoots the horse." ”

This is really not nonsense, Cui Ying's cooking skills follow the master, all of them are unpalatable, if you really cook in person one day, it will be on a whim, rushing to toss people, in terms of cooking skills, the family is still the best at the old man Dong.

Du Rong handed over the bowl and said, "Brother Cui Ying, if you don't dislike it, mine will be eaten for you." ”

"I know that Sister Rong feels sorry for her brother, hurry up and eat, let's go shopping, listen to the sound, fireworks have begun to be set off in the city, take you to occupy a good position, I am such a big man, no one dares to mess with me."

Du Rong was also in a hurry to see the excitement, swallowed the remaining dumplings a few times, and was choked, Peng E hurriedly patted her on the back, and said distressedly: "Auntie, eat slowly, the eldest girl's family is not reserved at all." ”

Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Du Rong said to Cui Ying, who was also happy: "Let's go." ”

Chen Jing sat still and said to the two of them: "I won't join in the fun, you can go." ”

Du Chengwu was not happy after hearing this, and waved his big hand, "You all go, young man, always stay with us old guys, what's the matter, hurry up, otherwise don't blame me for relying on the old and selling the old to drive people away." ”

Peng E followed and persuaded the man: "Young man, there is no marriage, the baby is not settled, in the eyes of the elders, he is a half-grown child, playing with Rong'er, with a handsome face, it is time for them to let the locals take a look, our Nanyuzhou landscape is more nurturing." ”

After hearing this, Cui Ying said: "Alas, yes, let's go to show off our power to our hometown, not just for fun, we have a heavy responsibility, let the men, women and children of this land see it, what is heroic." ”

Chen Jing smiled bitterly and said goodbye to the two couples for the time being.

Peng E and the other children walked out of the house, staring at their men with apricot eyes, and staring at their men with unkind expressions: "Old guy? It's me a yellow-faced woman. ”

Du Cheng said stupidly: "Say I'm myself, why do you put it on yourself, the yellow-faced woman said this kind of thing, no one will believe it." ”

Peng E snorted coldly, "The old lady has been in style for about fifty years, and when you are white-headed, I am still a green hair." ”

Du Chengwu said "oops", this mother-in-law's skills are all on pinching her waist and flesh, it really hurts.

"Let's go, let's go!" Cui Ying opened the door with a loud voice, and the three of them squeezed onto the high platform to occupy a good seat to watch the fireworks.

Cui Ying had a few strings of rock sugar gourds in his hand, which he bought on the way just now, and the people were boiling, and the vendor selling rock sugar gourds only cared about shouting, Cui Ying roared loudly, and without waiting for the hawker to come back to his senses, a silver ingot in his hand flicked his fingers, and then picked up a few rock sugar gourds and left, all in one go, bluffing the hawker for a moment.

It happened that the three of them got two sticks for one person, Cui Ying chewed a few mouthfuls in her mouth, and she was happy in her heart, this hawker is exquisite, and the seeds in it have been picked out, saving me from vomiting, but the fly in the ointment is that there is less rock sugar, and there is more sour than sweet.

Fireworks exploded in the night sky, crowds swelled up, the young rejoiced, and the old people were also happy.

In addition to the old cloth and new wind, the new spring and new atmosphere.

It's a lot of fun.

After Du Rong finished eating the rock sugar gourd in his hand, he pulled Chen Jing and Cui Ying and said: "According to the practice of previous years, the fireworks are about to end at this time, and you probably won't be able to watch the big show, let's go watch the puppet show." ”

"Let's go, this night must be lively enough, otherwise it will be in vain." Cui Ying urged Chen Jing to come along.

The three of them shuttled constantly in this small city, and Du Rong could always meet a few people he knew on the way, and the two sides greeted each other with a smile and exchanged a few words.

If it is a woman among them, Cui Ying can still show a smiling face, and cheekily ask other people where the girl is Fangling, is there an unintentional person? I don't get tired of being looked at.

If there is a man, especially one who is the same age as Du Rong, then I'm sorry, boy, see my fist as big as a sandbag, don't have thoughts about my sister Rong that shouldn't be, be careful that you can't eat and walk around.

Zhao'an City, Chengdong Village, Mu Hongfeng looked at a table of wine and food, his heart was happy, his appetite was good, he met an old friend with a glass, a sip of turbid wine in his stomach, and the aftertaste was endless.

Mu Hongfeng sighed with emotion: "Good fellow, even if you encounter two little rabbit cubs who are not at home, they are finally clean, and in previous years, they were noisy, and eating a Chinese New Year's Eve meal did not stop." ”

Dong Chuanhai nodded, dealt with a piece of pork knuckle, and after a few gnawings, he threw it aside and said, "At this moment, the two little guys slipped away under your nose and went to the next door, so you don't have any worries?" ”

"What are you worried about, it's superfluous, the old rich man in Yujinzhou, he doesn't know about this, believe it or not, as long as I give him a wake-up call, make a look, don't even need to look at him, let him see me, the old rich man can spoil the two rabbit cubs as a father."

Mu Hongfeng casually belittled the rich man next door, and on the other hand, he worked hard to get food, and after so many years, it was finally time to let go, and he worked hard to make the food.

Dong Chuanhai picked his teeth, endured and endured, and still couldn't help asking: "I don't know what's going on with that person, I was bullied by you like that, I almost gnawed mud in the soil, or I was obedient to you, like a little daughter-in-law, I was also the lord of a continent, and I really didn't have any temper at all when I faced you." ”

Mu Hongfeng ate and drank nonsense, wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and said: "There are only a handful of people who can talk to Lao Zhu casually in the whole world, who look down on him, scold him, bully him, peel off him, and want to slaughter and seize wealth." ”

"I am the only one ......," Mu Hongfeng pointed to himself.

"You're just bullying him." Dong Chuanhai nodded.

"No, I've got all the things in front of me."

Mu Hongfeng was not ashamed to say a word, and then ate and drank.

Dong Chuanhai sighed and said, "I see. ”

High in the sky overhead, muffled thunder rolling.

Dong Chuanhai glanced at the dark clouds in the night sky, knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and reminded the other side: "You go and talk to the river god, the two babies are not sensible, this is the violation of their Shinto rules, just look for trouble and just look for you, if you have a debtor and a master, what is the matter of playing with the barnyard officials below?"

You also saw that the little river god in the moat of Zhao'an City, after receiving the order, used that little bit of mana to make waves and flood down, and it flooded the riverbank, and there was a rainstorm every other day at this time.

That is, the little river god doesn't know that he is targeting you, otherwise he will know that you are close at hand, and the golden body will not be scared, and he will be so frightened that he will try to run away. ”

Mu Hongfeng laughed freely, "Small fights are annoying, over time, Huaiyuan will not have this kind of mind, in the final analysis, Huaiyuan, a guy with the feelings of 'homeland', what can he do with me, what will he do to the two children?" He can't do it, he can't do it, he disturbs my purity, he says a few heavy words to the two children, that's all. ”

Finally, he said: "Let him go, he can't turn the sky." ”

Frolicking in the middle of the night, the crowd on the street gradually dispersed, and the three of them followed home.

Chen Jing followed the customs of the villagers and sat cross-legged on the kang and followed the customs of his hometown to keep vigil.

There was a warm table on the kang, with a few simple snacks and two pots of wine, Du Chengwu saw that the two young people had no interest in drinking, so he poured himself a drink.

Du Rongheng lay in Cui Ying's arms and asked, "Where are you two going?" ”

Cui Ying reclined on the top of the kang and patted the mattress underneath, it was a good thing, why didn't the master build one for himself when he was a child? I guess the old man is too lazy to get it.

Closed his eyes and replied: "I don't know, alas, look at Xiaojing, how big my heart is, how big my heart is, I go out and go around, I don't know how long it will take to come home, and then I want to come out, it's a matter of many years, not in a hurry, not in a hurry." ”

Du Rong muttered, "I want to go with you too." ”

"What?"

Peng E took the soles of her shoes and heard her daughter's words at the tip of her ears, "You are a dead girl, you have no conscience, you dare to leave your father and mother to go to the rivers and lakes, your father's dead appearance, you can't see it in front of you?" If you dare to go outside and mess around, you won't be happy to say this in the future, be careful of your legs. ”

Du Chengwu echoed with a smile: "Girl, listen to your mother, there is no need for our family to go out, your father and I were forced to go out in the early years, I didn't read a few books, I didn't have fame and fortune, so I had to dig around in the soil, now it's okay, we are a well-off family, and we should be honest and keep to ourselves." ”

Chen Jing also said: "Your father and mother are right, going out seems to be free, but it is also accompanied by danger at any time, but you can't go out on impulse and just think about it, you are not responsible for yourself and your family, and you must not do this." ”

Cui Ying couldn't see that they were partnering and bullying a little girl, so she shouted: "Why can't you go south and north, and go to the rivers and lakes?" ”

said to Du Chengwu: "This is called the son inheriting the father's business." ”

He pointed at Peng E and said: "A loving mother has many defeated children, and she can't hurt her children vigorously, so she is not afraid of being a fool and raising a white-eyed wolf?" ”

Peng E chattered, "Just this one girl, I can't let her fly away." ”

Chen Jing saw that the atmosphere was not right, and said: "You can fly, but you can't fly far, at most you can go and return." ”

Du Chengwu said: "Yes, that's it." ”

Du Rong looked at Chen Jingdao with reluctance in his eyes: "What about the two of you?" ”

Chen Jing is not easy to hide, "We have our own affairs, too obscure to say at will, this is what Master has warned a long time ago, but I didn't lie to you." ”

"That's right." Du Rong's tone was full of helplessness.

Peng E secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this Nizi was dead, she was really going to be abducted, and she didn't cry to death at home.

On the second day of the first lunar month, neighbors began to have relatives coming and going, and Du Chengwu's family was an outsider, or the kind of family members who were thousands of miles away, and had no relatives and friends with solid family backgrounds, so naturally there were no relatives to speak of.

is very different from the bustling outside, the Du family is very deserted, all of them are cross-legged on the kang, and their own "stuffy" for the New Year.

"Lao Du, your family has a relative."

There was a roar outside, which made several people in the family stunned, when will some relatives be able to visit the door across the mountain?

You don't have to think about it, not a single one.

Du Chengwu heard the voice, and didn't get up and said, "That guy Liu, I don't know if I drank too much during the day." ”

Peng E nodded, she didn't even have the heart to go out to take a look, and waited for Lao Liu to finish drinking and go crazy.

"Why haven't you come out yet, your old Du asked your relatives to wait outside the door, it's too unusual."

"It's not like a drunken voice." Du Chengwu got off the kang and planned to take a look.

"It's endless." Peng E also followed.

Du Rong circled in his heart, got up suddenly, looked at Cui Ying and said, "Is my brother here?" ”

"How is this possible?"

As soon as Cui Ying spoke, he felt that there were really some signs, and looked at Chen Jingdao: "Do you say that it will be the master who will help?" ”

"Well...... this" Chen Jing couldn't get it for sure.

The door was open, Du Chengwu muttered, and no one came in.

After a few big steps, I finally saw the difference.

Outside the door there was a man and a woman, the man was old, the woman was relatively young, and the woman was middle-aged.

I don't know.

"It's calculated, let's go, Lao Du, rub mahjong another night."

"Okay, thank you, Lao Liu."

Du Chengwu was sure that he didn't know the two people outside the door, and arched his hand and said: "The two ......"

The old man said bluntly: "Let's find Chen Gongzi and Cui ...... Son. ”
