Chapter 43: Worshipping the Mother on the Thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve
Yun Qiang shook his head and said under the gaze of An Jinyun and Lin Yanniang, "I don't know that person, but I heard Xiao Xuan call her cousin." β
As soon as Yun Qiang said this, Lin Yanniang and An Jinyun also guessed a few people, and if they could make Zhang Xiaoxuan call their cousin, it must be a good Zhang family.
But the unmarried one is Zhang Xiaoxuan's aunt, and the entire surname Zhang is only three people.
But as soon as An Jinyun opened his mouth and asked Yun Qiang to describe that person, Yun Qiang directly said that he had forgotten what that person looked like.
An Jinyun was angry and wanted to say a few words about Yunqiang, but was pulled by Lin Yanniang, who had been paying attention to him, "Anyway, it's almost the New Year, if that person really has a heart, he will definitely tell his family." β
Although Lin Yanniang said this, she wanted to ask someone to inquire about who the person who could do such a thing as chasing a man was.
Yun Qiang was a little wilted because of this, and it wasn't until dinner in the evening that he said that Zhang Xiaoshui was very excited to see what he had mentioned, and said that he would definitely come to pay New Year's greetings in the New Year.
"This kid is a man of gratitude. β
An Jinyun commented on Zhang Xiaoshui, but he didn't want to say more.
Lin Yanniang looked at An Jinyun and seemed to have something on her mind, and was going to ask him at night.
Yun Qiang took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after dinner, Mrs. has been very tired these days, and he has seen the distressed look in his master's eyes more than once.
Watching Yun Qiang walk away, Lin Yanniang glanced at An Jinyun with disgust, "Why stop me and let Yun Qiang clean up." β
Lin Yanniang said An Jinyun on her lips, but her heart was sweet, she was really tired these days, busy preparing for the New Year, and she had to pick up the lamp to make clothes for Yunqiang at night.
However, Yun Qiang's new clothes can be made tonight, and he can rest normally tomorrow night.
"You see you're tired and thin, make some of your favorite food tomorrow and make up for it. β
An Jinyun looked at Lin Yanniang distressedly, and made Lin Yanniang's cheeks hot.
Where has she lost weight, she has eaten well at home these days, and she thinks she is fat.
In the evening, Lin Yanniang lit the oil lamp for half an hour, and finally made Yun Qiang's new clothes, and as soon as she blew out the oil lamp and lay down, An Jinyun turned over and pressed her under her.
"Yan Niang. β
An Jinyun put her lips to Lin Yanniang's lips and kissed her lips fiercely, and her big hands roamed around her dishonestly.
Lin Yanniang had the intention to let An Jinyun succeed, but she was really too tired, as soon as An Jinyun untied her clothes, her tired eyes were about to close.
An Jinyun's enthusiasm stopped abruptly when he saw Lin Yanniang's drowsy appearance, he wanted to be intimate with Lin Yanniang, but he also felt more sorry for Lin Yanniang and wanted her to have a good rest.
Lin Yanniang felt An Jinyun's movements stop in a daze, and muttered, "What's wrong with you today?"
An Jinyun looked at Lin Yanniang who was about to fall asleep and was worried about him, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said, "What Yun Qiang said today made me think that Yun Qiang can indeed get married. β
He married his daughter-in-law at such an old age, purely because the previous three fiancΓ©es had accidents, so he was dragged until he left that place.
But Yunqiang is not.
Lin Yanniang responded to An Jinyun's sentence casually, and looked at Lin Yanniang and was about to fall asleep, An Jinyun smiled and hugged Lin Yanniang tightly.
Yunqiang's affairs are not in a hurry, you can wait until the New Year.
Yun Qiang didn't know that An Jinyun had already begun to think about his marriage, and when Lin Yanniang woke up the next day, Yun Qiang was already chopping wood in the yard.
Maybe it's because of being chased and running, Yunqiang, who couldn't help but want to go out for a walk from time to time a few days ago, didn't go out at all.
An Jinyun gave Lin Yanniang a hand, and Yun Qiang gave An Jinyun a hand.
Cleaning, washing sheets, chopping meat, pinching meatballs, Lin Yanniang had two people to help, and they did all the hard work, and they were busy until the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and finally prepared all the things to be made for the New Year.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, An Jinyun was the first to get up, walked to the door and put a hanging whip, and then the village resounded with firecrackers.
Lin Yanniang was woken up by the sound of firecrackers at the door, and as soon as she got up and put on her clothes, An Jinyun brought hot water in and asked her to wash.
"You wash up and go out, it's cold outside. β
Today, the heavy snow has stopped, but as the saying goes, 'the snow is not cold, the snow is cold', and Wankou Village in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is really not warm.
Lin Yanniang just wanted to say something, but when she thought that today was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she shut up.
After washing up, Lin Yanniang walked out of the house, and as soon as she arrived in the yard, she saw An Jinyun and Yun Qiang busy pasting couplets.
Lin Yanniang approached them, glanced at the batter they pasted on the couplet, and laughed out loud, "You guys wait." β
After Lin Yanniang finished speaking, she walked into the house with a bowl of batter, An Jinyun and Yun Qiang didn't understand what was wrong, An Jinyun asked Yun Qiang to take the couplet, and followed Lin Yanniang to the kitchen.
As soon as Lin Yanniang arrived in the kitchen, she poured the batter prepared by An Jinyun and Yun Qiang into the pot and added fire, and the original milky white flour water slowly became transparent after heating, which was the batter used for pasting couplets.
An Jinyun kept watching Lin Yanniang's movements, and saw that the batter that wasn't sticky just now was now sticky, so he looked at Lin Yanniang ashamedly.
"It's me and Yunqiang who don't understand, so I let you see the joke. β
An Jinyun generously admitted that she didn't understand, Lin Yanniang dared to laugh out loud, she was really afraid to hold back just now, but now seeing An Jinyun so calm, she dared to laugh so presumptuously.
Yun Qiang didn't know what was going on in the kitchen, and it wasn't until he waited for An Jinyun to come out with half a bowl of authentic batter that he understood what had just happened.
Such an interesting thing happened to the An family early in the morning, after An Jinyun and Yunqiang pasted the couplet, in the kitchen, Lin Yanniang was also preparing breakfast.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve of Wankou Village, almost every family in the morning warmed up some steamed buns at will, and some who were not rich directly began to prepare lunch.
Today's big head is noon and evening, and they did not say that they must eat well on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve in Wankou Village.
After breakfast, Lin Yanniang began to prepare for the things to be used by Hui'an Jinyun and Yunqiang to worship their ancestors, and today the villagers of Wankou Village will first go to the graves of their ancestors on the mountain to worship, and then each family will send representatives to the ancestral hall in the village.
The ancestors of each family are worshiped on the mountain, and the village ancestral hall is the village chief who calls everyone together to summarize this year, and by the way, talk about the coming year, and it will not take half an hour.
If it is the year of the change of village head, this matter will be announced at the ancestral hall today.
An Jinyun was not a native of Wankou Village, so he didn't have to go to the mountain to worship, so after Lin Yanniang discussed with him, she decided to worship at home.
To worship ancestors, women in Wankou Village can't go, and Lin Yanniang hasn't been there for so many years.
But looking at An Jinyun standing in front of him, thinking about what he just said, Lin Yanniang didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Yan Niang, don't you want to worship my mother?"
This is the first time Lin Yanniang has heard An Jinyun talk about his mother, that is, she has been together for a few years in her previous life, and she has never heard An Jinyun talk about his mother.
Thinking that her mother-in-law, who had never met before, was now separated from An Jinyun's yin and yang, Lin Yanniang couldn't help but feel sorry for An Jinyun.
"No, it's just that in our village, women are not allowed to worship. β
Not only are women not allowed to go, but even little girls are not allowed to go.
An Jinyun listened to Lin Yanniang's words, and gently hooked the corners of her mouth, "It's okay, my mother and Aunt Yun are both women." β
After An Jinyun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Yanniang to the main house.
Lin Yanniang couldn't, so she could only follow An Jinyun and walk towards the main house.
When she arrived at the main house, Lin Yanniang saw that what An Jinyun and Yun Qiang were worshipping was actually a hosta.
"This hosta was worn by my mother, and then it was given to Aunt Yun, after Aunt Yun went, Yun Qiang has been carrying it closely, and I only took it out today. β
An Jinyun explained the origin of the hosta, although it was his mother's former item, but it was transferred to someone else, and now it is Yunqiang's.
If this hosta hadn't been given to someone else in his hands, he would have given it to Lin Yanniang a long time ago.
Lin Yanniang didn't covet this hosta, she was just surprised when she heard that this hosta was so meaningful.
"My mother said it was for her future daughter-in-law. β
Speaking of his mother, Yun Qiang was a little sad, An Jinyun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, everything was silent.
Lin Yanniang listened to the words of the two of them, and she understood the importance of this hosta to the two of them.
"It's not early, let's worship Niang and Aunt Yun. β
Lin Yanniang looked at An Jinyun, and said naturally, but An Jinyun's eyes were wet.
He thought that his mother would have Aunt Yun with her in the sky, and she would definitely be very happy to see him marry a wife now and find Yun Qiang again.
Lin Yanniang originally knew that Yun Qiang was not An Jinyun's cousin, but when she heard An Jinyun call Yun Qiang's mother Aunt Yun, she began to wonder what was going on.
In her previous life, she clearly heard Yun Qiang call An Jinyun 'master', but An Jinyun called Yun Qiang's mother 'Aunt Yun'.
Lin Yanniang knew that there were some things An Jinyun didn't say because she didn't want her to know, so she just thought about it in her heart and didn't say it.
worshiped the two mothers, and seeing that the two of them never mentioned their father's affairs, Lin Yanniang guessed whether their father was still alive.
Otherwise, they wouldn't just worship their mothers, but they would never mention their fathers.
It's just that An Jinyun doesn't say this kind of thing, and she doesn't want to ask.
As soon as the three of them put away the things for worship, Li Boyuan's voice sounded at the door, "Brother An, my father said to let you go to the ancestral hall in a quarter of an hour." β
"Okay, Bo Yuan, come in and sit down. β
An Jinyun walked out as he spoke, he was an outsider in Wankou Village, and the village chief called him this time, that is, he was really included in Wankou Village.
"No, I'm going to another house and come back tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings. β
After Li Boyuan said this, he really left, and when An Jinyun went to open the door, Li Boyuan had already walked a long way.
An Jinyun turned around and looked at Lin Yanniang and Yun Qiang, then smiled and said, "It's gone." β
Lin Yanniang nodded, Li Boyuan is the youngest son of the village chief, and he can come to inform An Jinyun today, and the village chief attaches great importance to An Jinyun.
