Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3990 Zhongyuan Festival

In the end, Yang Ruoqing told the elders in the family what happened to Dazhi's brother and sister-in-law who met in Qing'an County, as well as what Zhang Shuilian and Daqiu couple did.

"What? The couple actually took 200 taels out of the 100 taels you gave us to lend usury? Is this eating the heart of a bear? Or are you crazy to want to get rich?"

Blacksmith Luo had a straightforward temper, and he was the first to lose his temper.

Yang Huazhong also looked angry, "These two people, can't use this money to do something down-to-earth? This loan shark, to put it bluntly, is no different from gambling,"

"The loan sharks in our Qingshui Town and Wanghai County are said to be both black and white. The couple have just grown their hair!" He said.

Wang Cuilian was puzzled and said, "Why didn't Dazhiniang stop them? Isn't Dazhiniang the head of their family?"

Sun said: "Eight years ago when Qing'er and Tang Yazi brought Dazhi back, they told us about Dazhi's mother and Dazhi's father. Dazhi's mother is probably a cowardly and independent woman."

"When a man is alive, the man has the final say. When the man is gone, the eldest son has the final say. And the eldest son, whose ears are soft, and the wind blowing by the eldest daughter-in-law's pillow, the person who makes up his mind becomes the eldest daughter-in-law." .”

Wang Cuilian nodded: "It's probably like this, so they will be allowed to mess around. A large family rents a house in a place like Yangzhou City where every inch of land is expensive. When the lease expires and there is no money to continue, the whole family will be homeless. Street!"

Luo Fengtang's face was stern, and he took over the words: "It's because the two of them are so good at messing around that Qing'er and I are more and more worried about Zhi'er."

"If it weren't for the busy affairs in our army, we would have to go to Yangzhou in person. Right now, Qing'er can only go alone, but I still don't feel relieved after all."

Having said that, Luo Fengtang set his sights on Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang.

Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang said at the same time: "I'll go with Qing'er!"

"I am coming too!"

Luo Fengtang's expression relaxed a bit, he turned his head and looked at Yang Ruoqing expectantly, hoping that Yang Ruoqing would nod.

The same goes for Yang Huazhong and the others, but Yang Ruoqing raised her head and said, "I understand your worries, but I can really do it myself."

"Father, you can't go. The reason is that the big cousin is going to get married next month. The closer the marriage is, the more things will happen."

"And my grandma came here to ask you for advice, so you can't leave."

Yang Huazhong frowned.

Sun said: "Qing'er is right, Dad Qing'er, you really can't leave, Master Qing'er will come over two or three times a day, and now Li Xiuxin is going to give birth again, so I'm here to ask you for advice on this matter .”

"Qing'er, let your uncle accompany you?" Sun said.

Blacksmith Luo nodded again and again: "I have time!"

Yang Ruoqing still nodded and said, "Uncle, you can't go."

"I went to Yangzhou, and Tang Yazi returned to the military camp. Only mother, aunt, Xiaoyu, baby, old and weak women and children are left in the Nuoda yard at home. Tang Yazi and I are not at ease if you are not at home. "

Hearing this, Blacksmith Luo remained silent.

Luo Fengtang said: "Qing'er, I've decided, I still want to go to Yangzhou with you, when I get to Yangzhou, I see Dazhi, when you come back by yourself, I'll transfer from Yangzhou to Tianhai County! "

In the end, no one, including Yang Ruoqing, could stop Luo Fengtang's decision.

Luo Fengtang said: "That's the decision, I'll go back and write a letter to Zhou Xie and the two lieutenants to send my shadow guard Ye Yi to Tianhai County overnight."

"In two days, it will be the [-]th of July, the Hungry Ghost Festival. After we finish worshiping our ancestors, we will immediately go to Yangzhou to visit Dazhi, and try to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August to eat the wedding wine with Brother Datang!"

……

Luo Fengtang has not celebrated the Ghost Festival at home for several years, this year is rare, so he plans to make proper preparations.

He took the Great Treasure Seal and printed the incense sticks for every ancestor of the old Luo family one by one.

On the morning of July [-]th, I knelt by the small kang table, stamping one by one, extremely reverent and respectful.

Blacksmith Luo was on the sidelines, and the two cooperated very well.

As for Yang Ruoqing, she and Wang Cuilian were busy preparing sacrifices for burning incense in the kitchen. Both of them were the daughters-in-law of the old Luo family, so both of them had to show their skills and make meals to honor their ancestors.

Kill chickens, buy meat, butcher fish...

This year's newly harvested early rice is ground into fragrant rice noodles, and then mixed with leeks and bacon mozzarella to make rice noodles.

The family enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. After noon, the sun gradually moved to the west, and the outside was not so hot.

At this time, the big guy was carrying a basket with incense paper firecrackers in it, and offerings in large and small bowls. Luo Tiejiang and Luo Fengtang walked in front, Wang Cuilian led Luo Baobao in the middle, and Yang Ruoqing followed behind. , the family went out with great aura and walked towards the mountain behind the village.

Other families in the village also came out at this time, including the mighty team of Old Yang's family.

The big guys meet on the mountain, and they can walk together for a short distance, and then go their separate ways.

Hungry Ghost Festival, this is a festival to pay respects to deceased relatives and a festival to place mourning.

Every time I think of those relatives who used to live with me, they are as closely related to me as air and water, but now, they are separated by yin and yang, and it is difficult to see each other in this life...

Thinking of this, adults will inevitably feel sad, but for children like Luo Baobao who are ignorant of the world and have not yet experienced the pain of the death of their loved ones, the meaning of the Ghost Festival to them is similar to that of the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

So Luo Baobao was very happy. From uphill to downhill, he ran in full swing, holding a lot of wild flowers picked in the mountains in his little hands.

When the incense was about to burn, a group of people sat in an open place halfway up the mountain to rest, drink a few sips of water, take a few breaths, and prepare to go down the mountain and return to the village.

Luo Baobao was squatting on a meadow not far away to pick wild flowers. Someone came over from the side, saw Luo Baobao and yelled.

Luo Baobao raised his head, saw the person coming, stood up joyfully and ran towards him, calling out 'Hi Uncle'!
The man stroked Luo Baobao's soft hair, took her hand and walked towards the resting place of the old Luo family.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing was sitting with Wang Cuilian, overlooking the stretch of fields at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing the greetings of men behind him, he turned around and saw Mu Zichuan walking over with Luo Baobao, saying hello to Blacksmith Luo and Luo Fengtang.

The first time she saw Mu Zichuan, Yang Ruoqing suddenly saw the wishing talisman hanging on the wishing tree in Yingjiang Temple.

As well as the words on the prayer talisman, the instinctive footsteps were stuck in place, not wanting to go forward.
