Chapter 12 Chinese New Year
The prey was placed on a low wall in the corner of the yard. Tang Qingshan fetched a basin of water, cleaned Tang Tai and Tang Wan, and just in time for his mother to come out of the back room.
"Shan'er, are you back?"
The mother, who was originally excited, was just about to step out of the door. I saw Tang Qingshan grooming the two little guys. The foot that was about to step out was carefully tucked into the door again.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his mother nervously hiding at the door, Tang Qingshan put down Xiaowan and walked quickly to the door.
"Kid, who are these two?"
Looking at his mother's worried look, Tang Qingshan grabbed his mother's hand and carried her to the front of the two little ones.
"Tang Tai! Tang Wan! This is my mother!"
The two little ones only looked at their eldest brother and mother, and they were very flattering. Tang Wan even shook her fiery red fluff and rubbed it affectionately in front of Tang's mother's legs.
"This little red guy is weird and distressing. ”
Because her son is accompanied by her, and Tang Wan herself is extremely cute. Tang's mother's mood calmed down a little.
"Child, where did you bring back these two cute little guys? Didn't you take advantage of the absence of your parents and were coaxed back by you? This looks like Chinese New Year's Eve, and they are all a family reunion." You kidnapped other people's children into our house, how anxious should their parents be! Also, you gave them their names? Why do you have the surname Tang?"
was asked so many questions by his mother at once, and Tang Qingshan was also caught off guard. Pull her mother to sit on a small wicker chair in the yard.
"Mother, you misunderstood the child!"
As he spoke, Tang Qingshan recounted the experience of this mountain walk to his mother from beginning to end, but all the dangers were brushed aside. When my mother heard this, she was already in tears. Perhaps, it was because there were people in her family who were suffering, but after a while, my mother cried and her eyes were red.
"In that case, you two are miserable too. ”
While wiping away her tears, Tang's mother hugged Tang Wan in her arms. Tang Wan licked the tears on Tang's mother's face very spiritually. On the contrary, it made Tang's mother laugh.
"This little guy is very sensible, and he knows that he is distressed!"
Tang Qingshan called Tang Tai and turned his head to look at his mother again.
"Mother, actually, there is one more thing that I didn't tell you. Tang Tai and Tang Wan are both spirit beasts, and when they cultivate to a certain level, they can speak out people's mouths, and if they are successful in cultivation, they can even transform into human form. ”
For a real peasant woman like Tang's mother, this is a bit marginal. Looking at Tang Tai, his eyes were full of hesitation when he looked at Tang Qingshan, and he was also suspicious in his heart.
"Your brother and sister have my surname Tang, and my mother is naturally your mother. Don't be too stubborn, it's better to make this matter clear now, and blindly concealing it is never a solution!"
Tang Tai saw that his eldest brother had said this, so he no longer hesitated and sat on the ground.
"Mother is on top, and I am worshiped by Tang Tai and Tang Wan!"
After speaking, Tang Tai bowed slightly. Tang Wan saw that her brother had already made a move, and hurriedly jumped off Tang's mother. Following his brother's example, they stood together.
"Xiao Wan is still young, and she will be able to speak after a while. ”
Mother Tang first arrived incredible, and then asked.
"Since these two children already have such spirituality, why are their tribe so ruthless and want to kill the two children?"
Tang Qingshan didn't expect that his mother was only surprised for a moment after Tang Tai spoke, but asked this question. Hearing Tang's mother's question, Tang Qingshan, Tang Tai and Tang Wan all bowed their heads and remained silent. Mother also knew that she had made a mistake and asked questions that should not be asked, so she quickly said.
"Hey, look at me. You have been out of the house for a month, are you tired and hungry, my mother will go to cook for you. ”
As she spoke, the mother wiped her eyes and hurried to the house with two chickens. Seeing that his mother quickly accepted Tang Tai and Tang Wan, one person and two beasts screamed at the same time. The hurdle in my heart has finally passed, Tang Tai and Tang Wan finally have a home, and this time the mountain is still very satisfying for Tang Qingshan. One more brother, one more sister. Thinking of this, the corners of Tang Qingshan's mouth unconsciously rose.
"It's time to eat!"
It didn't take long for her mother's voice to come from inside the house. Tang Qingshan hurried over to help, and Tang Tai and Tang Wan were also surrounded by the front and back. Just as everyone was arranging the meal, Tang Shu helped the village chief to come from outside the door. Tang Qingshan put down the chopsticks in his hand and walked quickly to the front.
"Grandpa, Qingshan came back today, and I couldn't bear to bother when I saw that it was getting late. I also hope that my grandfather will atone for his sins. ”
The old village chief looked at Tang Qingshan, looked at it carefully, and nodded incessantly.
"Your fifth uncle has half of your ability, and our old Tang family's ancestral grave can smoke green!"
Tang Shu heard it, it's over, how did this come to his head again. Hurriedly said.
"Hey, Qingshan, didn't you let the fifth uncle come to dinner! Haha, the fifth uncle went to eat first. ”
Afraid that the old man would use himself again, Tang Shu handed the old man into Tang Qingshan's hands, and walked into the house in three steps and two steps. I said hello to my sister-in-law, and when I sat opposite the two small ones, I didn't forget to tease.
"Hey, you two! I'm your fifth uncle. Don't look! Don't look! Hurry up and eat. ”
Looking at the harmony in the house, Tang Qingshan supported the old man and slowly approached the house.
"These are the two kids?"
The old man's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Tang Tai, Tang Wan has seen grandpa!"
Tang Tai jumped off the stool and bowed respectfully. Although Xiao Wan didn't understand what was going on, her brother did it, and she had to jump down with it.
"Hahaha... Good, good... The world, if there is really no wonder, since I have the surname Tang with Qingshan, I will naturally be a member of my Tang family in the future, so let's eat quickly. ”
Looking at his grandfather's happy smiling face, Tang Qingshan secretly gave Tang Tai an approving look behind his back. Tang Qingshan's family has been so lively for the first time since they lived in Tangjiaao. Tang's mother ate this meal, and her face was always smiling. After dinner, Tang Shu and Tang Qingshan dismantled the wild boar in the yard. The old man and the two boys were chatting in the yard. After a while, the uncle and nephew were busy, and Tang Qingshan said.
"Grandpa, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in two days, and this meat has been cut. I'll send it to you later. On Chinese New Year's Eve, we also have a reunion dinner at your house. ”
Tang Shuzheng walked out of the room and said immediately.
"What do you send. After a while, I sent the old man back and brought it with me. ”
Seeing that the old man and the two little ones chatted for a while, they slowly got up and walked home. Seeing off the old man and the fifth uncle, Tang Qingshan returned to the courtyard. Seeing that my mother and the two little ones started chatting again, I was bored and wanted to pack my bags.
I went back to my room and put the hammer away. Unpacking his bag, in addition to a flint and a short knife, there was an extra piece of clothing. This should have been left to me by Ding Jirou, right? Thinking like this, Tang Qingshan grabbed his clothes and wanted to put them away. Unexpectedly, a small lilac medicine bottle rolled out of the mezzanine of the clothes. Tang Qingshan looked at the small bottle in his hand, and his mood was very complicated. In the end, I still owe people such a big favor. Put the vial snugly close to you and put it away. Tang Qingshan lay on the bed. Just as he was about to go to bed, the door suddenly opened a crack, and the door was not yet tightly closed. Two small fluffy things turned into the quilt.
"Big brother, are you asleep?"
"Not yet. ”
"It's good to have a home, big brother, thank you. ”
"Silly boy. ”
The thirtieth day of the lunar month, also known as Chinese New Year's Eve, is the most important festival of the year in this world. The reason why it is called Chinese New Year's Eve is because in the barbarian period, human beings had just multiplied, and every day on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, there was a monster called Xi who would go to the gathering place of humans to hunt. Later, a hero appeared in the human race, and on the night of the thirtieth day of the lunar month of one year, he successfully killed the monster with a weapon. Although the monster died, the hero was also seriously injured and passed away soon after. Later generations held many ceremonies to commemorate this hero of the human race, singing his immortal story.
Tang Qingshan posted the Spring Festival Lian while telling the two little ones stories about Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Big brother, what happened later?"
The two little ones surrounded Tang Qingshan, obviously not planning to let him go like this.
Later, people took the opportunity to reunite as a family! Cook a table of delicious food and drink together. ”
Tang Qingshan replied as he walked towards the courtyard.
"Look, I'll say I'm going to be able to eat that boar today. ”
Tang Tai said confidently to Tang Wan. However, Tang Wan obviously had a different opinion. The two little ones bared their teeth and quarreled. Just when Tang Qingshan wanted to figure out what the two little things were arguing about, he saw that Tang Wan was shaking her little tail and came to Tang's mother and swayed left and right, making Tang's mother happy, Tang's mother was talking and laughing with Tang Wan while looking at the stove.
"Oh, Xiaowan is really sensible. Yes, yes, Xiao Wan is so cute. Don't be busy, kid, I'm tired again. My mother can be busy herself. Eat a piece of meat!
Watching Tang Wan take the boiled wild boar in her mouth, she swaggered up to Tang Tai and ate it. Tang Qingshan covered his head, and he didn't know what to say at all. Come on, let the two of them make trouble. Tang Qingshan came to the side of the courtyard, picked up the axe and prepared to chop wood, but heard Tang Tai talking in the stove room.
"Mother, let me tell you a joke?"
Tang Qingshan's axe was hollowed out...
In the evening, in the courtyard of the village chief's house, the villagers gathered. The village chief led everyone to recite the New Year's greetings in front of the ancestral hall, and everyone's faces were filled with joy. After praying to the ancestors, eat supper. The people gradually dispersed. Tang Qingshan took the two children and the children in the village to the blacksmith shop and played several rounds of iron flowers. The two little ones played with the children for a while before they went home.
Tang Jiaao, this year has been sad and joyful.
