The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.

The next day, Jia Zhang's and Qin Huairu went door-to-door in the courtyard to express their gratitude.

The focus is naturally on Xu Deyong, even if Jia Zhang is a little reluctant in his heart, he has to say thank you, if she hides and doesn't show up again, it will really stink.

Sitting in Xu Deyong's house, Jia Zhang's little eyes turned around after saying thank you.

Qin Huairu held the stick and said: "Aunt Nan, Deyong, my Dongxu said that when he is almost able to go to the ground, I will invite you and the three masters in the courtyard to have a meal at home, and I will cause you trouble during this time." ”

Xu Nanshi waved his hand and said, "No, no, my wife didn't help much, so I won't serve on the table." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you eat or not, when everyone has an accident, you have to compare things with your heart, sister-in-law, do you say yes!" ”

Qin Huairu's eyes lowered and said, "You are right. ”

Jia Zhang, who was next to him, heard that Xu Deyong had something to say, and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

……

This is the Lantern Festival and the weekend, and everyone in the courtyard has changed into new clothes and gone out to watch the excitement.

In addition to the activities often said such as watching lanterns and guessing lantern riddles.

At this time, there are also customs such as welcoming Zigu, walking all kinds of diseases, touching door nails and so on.

In many places in the north, there is also the custom of steaming noodle lamps, the appearance of the noodle lamps is like the ancient round zun, the middle part is filled with peanut oil, and a wick made of yellow straw stalks wrapped in cotton can be lit.

Generally, twelve face lamps are steamed, from one pleat to twelve pleats, representing twelve months, and if there is a leap month in this year, then one more should be made.

If you are born in a few months, you will light a few pleated face lamps, and the excess face lights will be given away or someone will ask for them.

Children who do not steam the noodle lamp at home often have to go to several houses to find it in order to get a noodle lamp that matches their month.

Xu Deyong took Xu Nanshi out to listen to a day's singing.

When Xu Nanshi was listening to the play, he wandered around the stalls, and when he came across some good-looking and interesting things he liked, he bought them.

What kind of gourds, chimneys, copper coins, etc.

He didn't know if it was worth it later, but he bought seven or eight things according to his preferences and feelings, and spent more than three yuan.

He was playing with two walnuts, and when Xu Nanshi saw it, he inevitably said a few more words.

After dinner in the evening, it is convenient to set off fireworks outside.

The children carried lanterns, put small whips, compared lanterns, and watched fireworks in the alley.

Some of the adults in the courtyard also went out to enjoy the lanterns, and some did not want to go out, so they gathered in the courtyard to chat with melon seeds.

Headed by the three uncles, they talk about everything, the men talk about national affairs, and the women talk about the shortcomings of the family, and the two sides can be said to be distinct.

chatting and chatting Yan Bugui said: "Hey, I don't have much to see when I go out at night now, in the past few years, the "fire judgment" of the City God's Temple outside Di'anmen has been so lively, and I don't want to mention it." ”

Chenghuang Temple, "Cheng" refers to the city wall, and "God" refers to the trench dug outside the city wall, and putting water into the moat.

"Judge" refers to the judge, during the Lantern Festival, with clay sculpture into a huge image of the judge, the inside is a hearth, which is loaded with coal, light the fire, the judge is burned red, the flame erupts from the judge's seven orifices, it is very good-looking, provokes a large number of people to watch, expresses the meaning of "good and evil are rewarded", "punish evil and promote good".

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said: "Yes, I can't see it now, I remember that the last time I was sentenced to burn the fire was in Beihai Park in the 50s." ”

Bangs said shyly: "I don't care if I don't look at it, I have to burn thousands of catties of coal for nothing at one time, isn't that a waste!" ”

He Yuzhu pouted and said: "Yes, in the end, the consciousness of the second master is still high, but the bigger your belly is, it is useless, I think it is also a waste." ”

Liu Haizhong glared and said: "Silly Zhu, are you deliberately going against me, I don't want to meet you in general during the big holiday." ”

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said: "Okay, Lao Liu is angry, this pillar is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is angry." ”

Xu Deyong smiled, leaned to the side and looked at the occasional fireworks, listening to the group of people chatting and thinking it was quite interesting, and he didn't speak.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and said, "Deyong, thanks to you for yesterday's incident, I have to mention the good people and good deeds of the neighborhood committee when I go back to the meeting of the neighborhood committee." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Hey, uncle, don't snub me, this is nothing." ”

He Yuzhu said with a hippie smile: "Uncle Yi, I don't want to be mentioned, mention me, I am also actively looking for a stick terrier, but I am not lucky." ”

Xu Damao couldn't help but mock: "Silly pillar, you are a soy sauce beater, and you can compare with others." ”

"Hey, Xu Damao, what's the matter with you, what did you do yesterday, you didn't even show your face, and you were embarrassed to talk about me." He Yuzhu said and stepped forward.

Xu Damao stepped back and said, "What do you care about what I do...... What are you doing, don't come here....... ”

Before he finished speaking, he ran away.

He Yuzhu chased after him for a while and didn't catch up, and came back grinning and said, "Hey, this Sun thief is running really fast, it's a rabbit ......." ”

"Bang bang bang ......."

Xu Deyong looked up with a smile, bunches of big fireworks bloomed and disappeared in the direction of the Forbidden City, and the children were shouting to people to watch, chatting and laughing, and the year really passed .......

……

The next day, Xu Deyong got up early to exercise as usual, and a few boys in the courtyard stopped coming after the freshness, and even He Yuzhu, who was active before, also fished for three days and dried nets for two days.

It's really not easy to stick to one thing all the time!

He finished his workout alone in the cold early spring, and he didn't sweat but was warm all over.

After that, the mind moved to open the blind box.

"Smack."

A cloth bag of fifty catties of millet appeared in the blind box space.

Millet is a good thing, millet plus rifle has created a new era.

Millet is even used as a unit of measurement, for example, Dasu sent us a lot of people, with an average of 200,000 catties of millet per person, and our great teachers at that time were only 20,000 catties of millet, which was 1/10 of others.

After breakfast, go to work, go to school, every child who goes to school not only carries books and homework, but also holds the homework of "eliminating the four evils", mouse tails, sparrow legs, fly chrysalis or something, and the children who give more money will not do it in the future.

According to statistics, in the nine days from March 1 to 9, the people of the city caught more than 145,000 rats, almost reaching the level of national participation.

……

In a blink of an eye, the weather warmed up, the spring thunder began to roar, people took off their winter cotton jackets and changed into light sweaters and other clothes.

The movement to eliminate the four evils in the capital is vigorously carried out in the children's rhyme of "eliminating the four evils, stressing hygiene, being clean and not getting sick".

On the other hand, the supply of vegetables in various regions is seriously insufficient, and according to the statistics of relevant departments, 130.26 million catties need to be transported from other places to make up for it.

For a time, there was no market for vegetables in the capital, and many people squatted in the vegetable market, and they were quickly sold out as soon as they came.

……

In the tavern in the morning, Xu Deyong cleaned up the table.

After these days of cultivation, Xu Huizhen's pretty face has become a little rounder, and she looks more pretty and moving.

She hugged Li'er, glanced at Xu Deyong from time to time and said, "Thanks to the extra spicy pimples you bought in those days, now even the spicy pimples are snatched up in the market." ”

Xu Deyong raised his head and said, "Then do you have enough food to eat now?" Would you like me to buy some for you? ”

Xu Huizhen said: "It's enough to eat, I heard that there are several trains of vegetables on the way, so there is no need to rush to grab them." ”

The two were chatting, and a figure glanced in with some cringe.

Xu Huizhen saw her in the afterglow, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.......
