Chapter 74 Dragon Boat Festival

After rolling the red eggs, Chaoyun took the five-colored thread and tied it to the little girl's right wrist and left foot, and recited something in his mouth: "Tie the thread on the Dragon Boat Festival, escape disaster and avoid disaster, not lack of food or clothing, Live happily for a hundred years.”

After doing this, Chaoyun showed a relieved smile. She always felt that the successive disasters of the little girl were the reason why she didn't tie the five-color thread on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Today, she can finally do it seriously, the little girl will be safe and happy,
"Okay, get up, take this red egg yourself, eat it today, and I'll tie a string to your eldest sister and second sister."

Cheng Li showed her signature smile to her mother, "Okay."

This morning, Cheng Li skipped the morning class for herself. Her mother's heartfelt blessings, and the first time in her two lifetimes, made her very excited. She didn't want to knock wooden fish.

When the eldest and second sisters came out, she happily ran up to the eldest and second sisters, holding up her chubby arm, "Look, mine is the best looking."

"Yes, the little sister's is the best!"

Cheng Ping responded, the same trick, why is it different, just respond to the little sister.

When the three sisters went out of the room to wash up, they saw the eldest brother come out awkwardly. Cheng Li stared at the eldest brother's left wrist and right foot. Sure enough, he also tied a five-colored thread and held a red egg in his hand.

Cheng Li ran back to her room, took out all the colorful pockets, sent one to the eldest brother, the eldest sister, and the second sister, and then asked the eldest sister to help put one around her neck.

Cheng Ping also packed red eggs into colorful pockets for her little sister.

After washing up, Cheng Li ran to Zhu's house with two colorful pockets with red eggs and a grocery shopping net pocket with a few zongzi.

"Brother Zhi! Brother He!"

Hearing Cheng Li's voice, Zhu Hailong walked out of the main room, "What? Didn't he come to find Dad?"

"Dad! Thank you, daddy. I bought the trick line for me. I asked the elder sister to make up a colorful pocket, and I sent it to Brother Zhi and Brother He, as well as this,"

Cheng Li raised the big net bag in her hand, just as Zheng Jialan came out of the kitchen, she hurriedly shouted: "Aunt, come on, hold my hand."

Zheng Jialan's speed is not as fast as Zhu Hailong. Zhu Hailong saw the big net pocket when he was talking to Cheng Li, but he didn't have time to ask.

Hearing Cheng Li's words, he strode over to Cheng Li's side, bent down and stretched out his hand to hold the bottom of the net pocket,
"My dear girl, is this Duoler hand? Show me, is it red?"

"No, no," Cheng Li threw off the net pocket and carried the rope in her hand, and held a small fist to show Dad's wrist, "Dad, look at my thread, isn't it pretty?"

The fist he clenched couldn't cover the deep scar on the base of his index finger. Zhu Hailong rubbed the girl's bare head, "It's very beautiful, is this dumpling for Dad?"

"Yeah, didn't Auntie have a bag?"

"How did you know?" Zheng Jialan asked curiously, reaching for the net bag handed over by her husband.

"I smelled it very hard last night, but I didn't smell it here. It smelled of rice dumplings, just right. My family packs a lot, so Dad doesn't need to buy it."

Zhu Hailong stretched out his arms and picked up the good girl, "Okay, daddy doesn't need to buy it, or the girl will hurt others."

Cheng Li handed the colorful pocket to her daddy, "My mother gave it back to me. I'm going to roll my belly. Does my aunt want to give it to Brother Zhi and brother?"

Zhu Hailong opened his mouth and wanted to yell at the two lazy sons in the house, but when the good girl said this, thinking of the Dragon Boat Festival when he was a child, he took the colorful net bag to his daughter-in-law, "Go, get it for your two stinky boys, Humph! Still my daughter is caring."

Zheng Jialan laughed and said that all hatred is not a father and a son, which is really reflected in her family.

The breakfast on the Dragon Boat Festival was the richest in Cheng Li's memory, because this morning, there were not only zongzi but also fried dough sticks and eggs.

Because of the age, making white rice dumplings is a custom here, so there will be a plate of white sugar on the breakfast table to dip the dumplings.

The scent of glutinous rice mixed with zongzi leaves, accompanied by the sound of crunching sugar, Cheng Li smiled to hide the moisture in her eyes.

She and her family finally have a different Dragon Boat Festival, and will definitely have a different future.

After breakfast, Cheng Xian came back from buying vegetables, the most conspicuous ones were a large piece of forelegs and a mandarin fish.
"Milk, cut a piece of this meat and fry it with shredded pork. The rest is stewed. Grandpa wants to eat it. Ji Huayu will wait for my second aunt to come back and cook it."

Mrs. Cheng "..."

Not only did she switch positions with the second family, whom she disliked the most, but also with the eldest granddaughter who used to love the most, she became the one who was ordered.

Such a large piece of meat weighs three catties, and it is too prodigal to eat it all, but she has no courage to say it, so she can only do things according to the instructions.

Mr. Cheng, who was on vacation today, went for a walk around Shunhe Street and came back with a lot of things in his hand, "Little Si, what did grandpa buy for you?"

"Pusher cart?"

The little granddaughter's voice of surprise attracted the old lady Cheng who was working in the kitchen. She stretched out her head to look at the wooden toy cart in the old man's hand, and wanted to drop the meat that was being washed in her hand.
Seeing that the little granddaughter liked it, Mr. Cheng narrowed his eyes with a smile. He bought this on purpose. How could his own granddaughter be robbed by Zhu Hailong?
One morning, the little granddaughter showed off the tricks her father bought for her. Although she boasted, he was jealous.

So, I went to buy gadgets and came back, "Look, there are also sachets and peach baskets, come, Grandpa will put them on for you."

"Thank you grandpa."

Cheng Li stretched her head and asked her grandfather to hang a sachet around her neck. Then she stretched out her right hand and asked her to tie a small basket carved from a peach pit on her right wrist.

Mr. Cheng looked at the thread on his little granddaughter's right wrist and changed the direction, "Tie it on the left wrist."

"Okay." Cheng Li obediently stretched out her left hand.

On the two chubby wrists, there are peach baskets wrapped with colorful silk threads and red woven ropes, which are cute no matter how you look, and with the dimpled smile on the round little face, it is like a New Year's picture doll.

Mr. Cheng happily bent his belt and played the pushrod with his little granddaughter.

With the sound of rattling, the bird's wings were flapping, but Cheng Li's eyes were full of tears. Grandpa wanted to compete with Dad, right?

But this toy was pushed by a baby who just learned to walk, and the price is at least one yuan or more, two catties of pork!

She pretended to be happy and pushed for a while, and made sure the tears in her eyes were dry, then Cheng Li said no to push.

The four people who happened to go to pick up firewood early came back with the firewood back. Old Man Cheng straightened up and distributed the remaining five sachets, "Meimei, your elder sister's, you take it for her."

"Okay, thank you grandpa."

Mr. Cheng waved his hand, went to the kitchen, and handed the small paper bag to Mrs. Cheng, "This is realgar, enough to soak two taels. After soaking it, give Wen An and the others a few paintings, and then sprinkle some around the house."

"Put it on top of the cupboard until I finish cutting the meat."

Only then did Mr. Cheng see the large piece of meat on the chopping board, "Xianxian bought it?"

"Yeah, said you wanted to eat it, and bought a seasonal fish."

"Xianxian is sensible," Old Man Cheng said after seeing the distressed appearance of the old lady, "She uses the money for selling tea, she wants to pay for the food, I don't want it."

Looking at the old man who left behind his back, Mrs. Cheng felt that she and her wife were getting further and further away.

No, she and San'er and Xianxianmeimei also went further and further, because she didn't understand more and more what they were thinking?
Why are they turning back to the fourth, no, they are so close to the second family?
