The day of housewarming is approaching.

The family is very busy every day, and A-Niang invited several aunts to help.

Make a hair cake.

Eight treasure rice and so on.

The adults are busy, and the children are having fun.

Before the Chinese New Year, Li Haoran recently had a new toy, and Lao Li didn't know where to get four rollers back and made them a scooter.

One person sat in the car and the other pulled the rope, and it was very exciting, especially like to go down the slope.

If nothing else, there was an accident, and the little chubby dun slipped into the puddle and scratched his skin.

His lips were swollen like sausages, and his whole body was dirty.

In this era, children who are greedy for play and injured will not be comforted immediately, but may be scolded and repaired.

After going to Defa to disinfect and applying the red potion, Li Haoran wanted to continue playing, but he didn't think that the fun four-wheeled scooter had been confiscated by his grandmother.

Li Haoran, a little chubby dun who had begun to enter the rebellious period, muttered in a low voice after knowing that his toys had been confiscated.

"Aunt Tiger, it's getting more and more fierce."

Coincidentally, he was learned by Xiao Tutu, and kept shouting: "Aunt Tiger is so fierce, so fierce." ”

Li Haoran wanted to cover his mouth very much, but unfortunately it was too late, and the second brother Li Yaoguo asked a few simple questions.

So, this little chubby dun who was a little rebellious was whipped several times by his father with a thin bamboo, which not only made him cry in pain, but also had to stand for more than an hour.

Seeing that the little chubby pier was repaired, Chen Huiying was also very distressed, and hurriedly came over to protect him, but he didn't think about it, Li Yaoguo suddenly came to say, which amused Chen Huiying.

"Mother, don't protect him."

"This kid, who is not good to scold, actually dares to scold my mother, if this is not a good lesson, it will be done in the future."

Chen Huiying couldn't help but smile: "Little child, no big or small, don't worry about him." ”

"No, it's all fifth grade, and I'm about to go to junior high school, where are the children."

Punish the station, Li Haoran is not afraid, his favorite thing in school is to be kicked out by the teacher to punish the station, so that he doesn't have to listen to the class.

But when he learned that he was originally arranged to carry the lantern, but when he fell like this, he couldn't carry the lantern.

The two children of Li Shuguang's family could only mention it, and after learning that there was a red envelope for carrying the lantern, the little fat dun cried out.

"I want to carry a lantern too."

"I don't dare anymore."

Li Duoyu saw him crying pitifully, and said with a smile: "Your father scared you, you went to help move the chair, and you still have a red envelope collar." ”

After hearing that there was also a red envelope collar, Xiao Chubby Dun stopped crying instantly, but when he opened his mouth to laugh, Li Duoyu found that he was missing one of his front teeth.

"Where did your front teeth go?"

"When I fell before, I was about to fall off, and then when I was crying just now, I accidentally swallowed it."

Li Duoyu smiled helplessly.

Little Fat Dun made a bitter face and whispered: "Uncle, don't tell my father, if you let him know that my front teeth are also broken, he will definitely beat me to death." ”

Li Duoyu smiled, and suddenly said: "You've been playing for more than a week, and it's almost time to take care of yourself, your sister-in-law will be back soon, and she won't go anywhere during the winter vacation, so she will help someone to write homework." ”

After hearing this, the little fat dun was like being struck by lightning, and he felt that it was better to let his father beat him to death, and even wanted to fall again, preferably the kind where his right hand was injured and he couldn't do his homework.

Li Duoyu has also been very busy in the past two days, and after going to Rongcheng to buy things, he has to go to the county town to buy high and low beds, various cabinets and new chairs, as well as quilts and bed sheets, all of which have to be replaced with new ones.

For Li Duoyu, moving to a new home is much more tiring than collecting kelp, and there are a lot of things the size of sesame seeds, and there are all kinds of goodbyes.

The auspicious time of housewarming is the same as Shangliang, for them islanders, it is necessary to move at high tide, and it is best to move to a new home, which happens to be the highest point of the tide.

Twenty-four nights, half past ten.

The tide has already risen by half.

With the sound of firecrackers, the housewarming ceremony officially began, and Li Duoyu carried a basket of rice with red paper pasted on it.

And rice is not the more picked, the better, the most important thing is stability, in the process of going to the new home, can not fall or spill, so that the meaning of money does not flow out.

Daddy is carrying water, but he can't spill it out, but carrying water is a technical job, but fortunately, Daddy used to pick oysters often, and that shoulder was very stable.

Sister Shuihua was carrying a hair cake, Xiaoying was carrying a broom and a dustpan, and Xiao Tutu was held by A-Niang.

At the front of the line, two boys carried red lanterns made of bamboo, and in the second position was his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing.

He was holding a pair of landscape painting wall clocks with glass and lighting up when plugged in, and there was no electronic version in those years, and there was a big clock inlaid in it.

Li Duoyu looks old-fashioned, but for the villagers, this thing has a lot of face, and this thing, the uncle and the third uncle can't send it if they want to.

It must be given by the uncle, because there is a custom here in them, that is, the uncle is the largest, so when giving gifts, the most valuable things must also be given.

Although the uncle is unwilling, he can only pay for it obediently, whoever calls them here, he is the only uncle, and he can't run away if he wants to.

The eldest brother is holding a bamboo pole tied with a red rope, which means that he is getting taller.

The second brother carried a basket of gods, which was full of things for worship, and the little fat dun carried a bamboo stool and followed behind him, with a smile on his face.

Because on the bamboo stool, like the two small lanterns at the front, there is a small red envelope tied with a red rope.

After the housewarming ceremony is over, he can take the red envelope away.

When Li Duoyu moved in, many villagers did not sleep, and all ran to the village director's house to watch.

Children want to be lively, and adults want to be blessed, after all, on the island now, who doesn't want to be as rich as Li Duoyu.

Rao is housewarming team has been walking very slowly, but even to the new home is only more than 200 meters away.

When the team arrived at their new doorstep.

It is still not the highest point of the tide, and at this time, they still can't enter the door, and they can't pick up these things to the ground.

A group of people could only stand there and wait, until the dock, Chen Wenchao shouted loudly: "The water has risen, the highest is the highest, you can get started." ”

At this time, someone lit a straw at the door, and everyone had to carry something to step over, which was said to burn away bad luck.

At the same time, firecrackers were also lit.

And when she arrived at the hall, A-Niang was there to recite words.

"As soon as you enter the four corners of the wealth gate, the pearl agate is in the center; The two dragons on the left come to grab the treasure, and the phoenix on the right comes to the rising sun. ”

"The God of Wealth and Wealth is here, and the eight immortals are busy offering treasures; All the auspicious gods come to protect you, and the happy days are long. ”

"Stepping into the land of wealth with both feet, the whole family is happy; The house is full of gold and jade, and the longevity of Fu Lu is long. ”

"Come, the auspicious time has come."

"Pour rice, pour water, make new beds."

Li Duoyu poured the rice he was carrying into the new rice tank, and Daddy did the same, he had to pour water into the water tank.

Xiaoying went to make the sheets.

The brother-in-law hung the landscape painting in the center of the hall.

After everyone is busy.

Li Duoyu has to worship God first.

Then, worship the Lord of the foundation.

It just so happened that this day was to send the God of Wealth, and I had to worship the God of Wealth with him, and burned a lot of paper money and carriages to send the God of Wealth back to heaven to report.

After everything was done, Dongfang was already white, but the ceremony was not over yet, on the contrary, for him, this was just the beginning.

Under the leadership of A-Niang, Li Duoyu had to follow Zhou Xiaoying, holding the sleeping little Tutu to the Tianhou Temple to burn incense and pray for peace and smoothness.

Next.

It's a housewarming feast.

Early in the morning, the fire head has already begun to work, and all kinds of seafood are ready.

There are also seven aunts and eight aunts who also came, and the sound of chopping vegetables was endless.

In the middle of the hall of the new house is a long piece of red paper, and the four words of housewarming congratulations are written with a brush on the top.

This is used to post a list of congratulatory people, Li Yaoguo, the third uncle, and Zhang Jinsha, and they are calculating in the hall how many people will come to participate in the housewarming banquet and how many tables of banquets will be prepared.

But just as soon as the calculation began, it was found that the number of people had seriously exceeded the standard.

Because Li Duoyu is the village director, he has a good relationship with many people, and there are many people who come to participate in the housewarming banquet.

Zhang Jinsha said: "All the people from the village committee will come, and if you add your family, there are about 40 people. ”

The uncle also said: "There are boats and fishers in the village, and they should all come, and if you bring your family, this will cost at least twenty tables." ”

"Those on the dock will definitely come, as well as those at the end of the village and half-waist, who have also been taken care of by a lot of fish in the past two years, and it is estimated that there will be no fewer people who come."

Li Yaoguo said: "Relatives from Chenjia Village may also come, and their village council and village party secretary have also said that they want to participate. ”

Uncle frowned and said: "There are too many people, Duoyu, the courtyard of the new house and the courtyard of our old house, are all put together, and there are only twenty tables at most, which is not enough for everyone to eat together." ”

"Why don't you set up a few more tables on the village committee's side, there happens to be a ready-made stove there."

"It can be, but the fire is definitely not enough, in the past, this kind of thing was all helped by many fish, but today he is tired like this, he can't let him be in charge anymore."

"Just spend some money and invite Lao Yang from the restaurant to come over, so that there will be enough manpower."

"I think it's okay, but suddenly there are so many more tables coming out, and the seafood we prepare is not enough."

Chen Wenchao scratched his head: "There are many more in the fishing row cages, including grouper, lobster and preserved fish, which are all suitable for big dishes." ”

"It's still Xiaochao who is thoughtful, so that the problem of ingredients is solved."

In fact, they counted a lot of people, and it was not only the people from Dandan Island who came to participate in the housewarming banquet.

Secretary Chen of the town party committee and director Liu of the Qingkou Wharf Processing Factory didn't know who told them, so they actually came together.

"Fish, housewarming."

Li Duoyu, who was worshipping all kinds of people, heard the news and hurriedly ran to the dock to greet him.

As a result, in the process of greeting, I found that Zhao Jialu also came with her wife, and with him, there was also a plainly dressed Chen element.

"Duoyu, such a major event as housewarming, without notice, if someone hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't have known that you moved today."

Li Duoyu, who was exhausted, smiled bitterly: "No, it's just that the New Year is approaching, and I don't dare to trouble everyone." ”

Zhao Jialu leaned over directly, and wrapped his right hand around the shoulder and neck of this Li Duoyu: "It's not easy to come to your side, if you are free in the past two days, take me to fish together." ”

Li Duoyu, who was already tired of being out of phase, wanted to scold the past: "Fishing for your uncle, didn't you see that Lao Tzu was almost exhausted?" ”

After Chen Yuanyuan said hello briefly, he chatted with Secretary Chen and Director Liu, and actually talked about cooperation.

Fortunately, Manager An didn't come today, otherwise, the scene would be lively today.

Li Duoyu frowned, he originally just wanted to hold a simple housewarming banquet, just invite some relatives and friends.

didn't think about it, the people in the village gave face so much, and they all came to help, which gave Li Duoyu the most headache.

Who leaked the news, how come even Secretary Chen, Director Liu, and Zhao Jialu all know about it.

Around noon, someone had already called him back to eat, but Li Duoyu vaguely felt that someone else would come.

Sure enough, an iron boat with a fishery policy printed on it slowly docked, and a young man about the same age as Li Duoyu came down from it.

This person Li Duoyu has met a few times, and often follows behind Secretary-General Huang Qingfeng, who should be his little follower, as if his name is Li Yunpeng.

When Li Duoyu saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Section Chief Li, why do you have time to come to our Dandan Island today." ”

Li Yunpeng smiled and took out two small red envelopes on the spot: "I'm just running errands, and I'm here to give money for the leader today." ”

After speaking, he handed over two red envelopes.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was really flattered, although the leader did not come, but the money came.

"The leaders didn't come to dinner, why am I embarrassed to collect money?"

Li Yunpeng sighed: "Director Li, don't embarrass me, our leader said, if you don't accept it, it means that I haven't done my job properly." ”

As soon as these words came out.

Li Duoyu could only put the money away: "It just happened that I had already started eating, Section Chief Li, I will arrange a place for you." ”

Li Yunpeng sighed: "I also want to eat the seafood from your Dandan Island, but I still have something to do, so I have to leave first." ”

"Let's leave so soon, let's have a meal together."

"There's no way, the tasks given by the leader are a bit much, and I still have a lot of places to run today."

"Then wait a minute."

Li Duoyu rushed back to his home as soon as possible and brought out two boxes of dried oysters and dried eye fish of the best quality.

"Section Chief Li, hard work."

Li Yunpeng didn't refuse to accept it, Li Duoyu said that it was given to him, but he knew very well who this thing was going to give it to.

Rice steamed in wooden barrels.

Stir-fried greens in lard.

Freshly slaughtered seafood is steamed in a steamer.

The banquets of this era were not particularly particular, and at this time, the style of comparison had not yet formed, and it was not necessary to have high-end ingredients such as oriental star grouper and lobster on every table.

The main thing is that it is a large amount of fullness, and the most important thing is to be able to eat well.

Pork must be available, because this thing is the most stomach-conscious, and Lao Yang's best thing is fried pork belly.

As soon as this dish comes up, it will definitely be snatched up in an instant, and if you are slow, you can only eat the fried pork rind left over by a few people.

Due to the large number of people attending the banquet, and the fact that everyone has not lived a good life for a few years, a dish is often swept away by everyone as soon as it is served.

There are even people who come with lunch boxes and want to pack some back for their families to eat.

And often, when a table of dishes is almost finished, it is already surrounded by villagers waiting to be served.

"Hurry up, it's our turn."

"Don't rush."

"If we urge again, we're going to have to drink slowly."

Li Duoyu and Secretary Chen, Director Liu, and Chen Yuanyuan had a meal together and chatted for a while.

I didn't care about it, whether I was well entertained, and ran back to the new house to sleep, because I was really tired like a dog. (End of chapter)
