Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 127
"My lady, my lady, I bought these, quickly take them apart and have a look." After dinner, Hong Haoan urged with a mood of seeking praise.

Pu Huang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Hong Haoan who couldn't hide his excitement, and didn't refuse. The two sat in the warehouse, unpacking things one by one, feeling a sense of surprise when unwrapping gifts.

I didn't think it was too much when I moved things from the car in the evening, but now that I count them, there are quite a lot.Puhuang shakes the scarlet fabric, and is surprised to see that it is calico. Looking carefully at the print, the color is uniform and the color matching is very soft. It will neither dull nor conflict with the original color of the fabric. It also feels good and drapes well.

"Lady, do you like this piece of cloth? It must be very beautiful when it is made into a skirt." Hong Haoan took a look, and the tips of his ears were a little red. This was chosen by him himself, imagining the effect of the cattail cloth on the upper body. Now she gestured, It's really pretty. His wife is not ugly, but she has nothing to dress up. When the shop stabilizes, he will go to buy two sets of jewelry.

It seems that this handicraft is really good. Puhuang folded the fabric, picked up a thing wrapped in oil paper, and opened it. It turned out to be two small ceramic plates made into a lotus leaf pattern. On the top of the cover is a Xiaoyu, at first glance, turned out to be pink rouge, and the smell was very refreshing.

"Ma'am, this is from a famous rouge shop in the county. Sister-in-law Xu said this one is very suitable for your skin tone." Hong Haoan looked at Puhuang eagerly, and wanted her to tell me to try some, and his heart was really itchy. Yes, I don't know what the lady looks like when she dresses up?

Puhuang didn't like to wipe these things at first, but Hong Hao'an bought them to please himself, so it's hard to say it to make him depressed, "Well, it looks very delicate, and it's not easy to try it at night. I'll wipe it off after the New Year. have a look."

Next, the things they dismantled were mostly candied fruit, pastries and other exquisite things, which were usually relatively expensive, and they were used by BAITIANGONG at midnight on New Year’s Eve, and also used to entertain guests.After dismantling things and tidying them up, the two chatted and made preparations before going to bed.

At this time, Puhuang also knew that the Xia family ran to find Hong Haobao for some reason. It didn't happen that Ren Ya used his body deed to bring the maid.

"How do you usually spend the Chinese New Year? Should we go to the old house or spend it by ourselves?" Pu Huang put the fabrics in the cabinet, and then took out the clothes he had made in the past few days to show Hong Hao'an, um, The color of pale is good for him, um, I bought the right fabric.

As for shoes, Puhuang still doesn't know how to make them, so both of them asked Mrs. Wang to help them with their shoes. The difference is that there are a few flowers embroidered on Puhuang's uppers, which Qin Zhilian made on purpose, saying The shoes worn during the Chinese New Year should not be too plain.

Puhuang was naturally happy when someone helped with the shoes, so she made a few pairs of footwear (socks) beside her.

"Well, I made an agreement with my second brother. On the [-]th, I will go to the old house to spend with my father, and we will cook by ourselves in the evening." Hong Haoan nodded, and stretched out his hand obediently to try on the clothes. Puhuang makes deep clothes and often works It is impossible to wear this. Those who have the ability and are willing to wear it will wear it for the Chinese New Year or when visiting relatives.

"That's okay. Will the third brother come back? Aunt and the others should be with uncle. How can we refuse if you come to invite us?" Puhuang doesn't want to have such a strange reunion dinner again, so let's have our own, sit down It's okay to come down to drink tea and chat together.

"You don't have to worry about this lady, daddy won't respond." Hong Haoan untied the hairband on his head, and his jet-black hair fell down. Speaking of which, it wasn't that people didn't cut their hair in ancient times. If the hair is long enough, it will be cut and sold for a lot of money.After all, how can the complicated hairstyle of the rich be called without a wig?

In Puhuang's opinion, the so-called parents who receive body, hair, skin, and skin do not mean it literally. She thinks it should be understood as the meaning that one should not harm oneself casually and not cherish life.But she doesn't test for talent, and doesn't go to the bottom line. The meaning of many words is taught by precepts and deeds. After staying in the same environment for a long time, she will understand it naturally.

After climbing into bed, Hong Haoan, who was still energetic before, fell asleep in a short time. Looking at him, he was exhausted. I can't stand it, thanks to the fact that he still remembers to buy so many things when he came back today, and most of them are biased towards himself, just this kind of heart is hard to come by.

The customs in many places are different. For example, in Bihu County, unlike other places, the worship begins on December 29th. The customs here are mainly concentrated in the last two days of the year. [-]. Both of them got up late, and no one came to bother them unknowingly, so they ate breakfast and lunch together.

In the afternoon, Puhuang started to cook, mainly to worship the house owner and the bed mother, and then prepare some food and valuables, and worship the wandering souls passing by at the place where the door is not opposite the main door.Pu Huang was busy, and Hong Haoan was not idle either. He tore off all the couplets pasted on the new house, and then took the red paper and asked Chen Xiucai to help write the couplets.

But on New Year’s Eve, it’s the busiest day. Not to mention getting up early, after breakfast, you have to worship the Land Lord at the head of the hall, and after that, the Stove Lord and the Pig Shed also have to worship, and it’s not over yet , and then these sacrificial meats or spiced or meatballs should be fried or steamed or boiled in soup. Anyway, a small table must be set up to eat.

Different from the people who settled outside, like the two clans of King Hong, each household must bring cooked food and bring a lot of valuables to worship ancestors in the ancestral hall.And at this time, it is often the standard to spy on how other people's lives are going this year.

And when it comes to worshiping ancestors, no one usually handles it casually. Apart from the problem of face, there is also the need for the blessing of the ancestors. No matter from which aspect, it is very lively.

Women are not allowed to offer incense and burn paper money, so Pu Huang stood on the porch with other people, watching those men burn paper money in the courtyard, chanting words from time to time, nothing more than to bless their health and make a fortune What.

Glancing at the opposite side, Aunt Hong seemed to be wiping away tears, while Mrs. Guan was saying something, Puhuang only thought it was exaggerated, but then, some men in the courtyard also started crying, either calling for father or mother, the tone of voice It's a bit different from usual talking, a bit similar to mourning, but not like it.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, otherwise Puhuang really wouldn't be able to stay, she really felt out of place with all this.

After the worship, Puhuang directly picked the food to the old house, two maids were busy on the stove, Mrs. Chen arrived earlier than Puhuang, followed by two children, taking dishes out of the basket, seeing Puhuang Come in, she nodded with a smile.

Hong Haoping was setting up tables and chairs in the hall, while the second master of the Hong family sat aside and didn't speak, but if you look closely at his eyes, you can see that he kept looking outside the door. Obviously, he was looking forward to something the arrival of people.

In the small kitchen, it was obviously tight for four people to fit in. Puhuang simply built a small stove, and then heated the ones that could be heated directly, so as not to take too long and cause the first ones to be heated and then cooled down.

When all the food was served, no one stepped in the door again. The second master of the Hong family was a little disappointed, and he also looked gloomy while sitting at the dinner table.The atmosphere at the dinner table was not right, neither of Chen's two children dared to speak loudly, and they ate very well. The reunion dinner, which was supposed to be lively and lively, ate like it was the last supper.

Puhuang's appetite is not very good, and she doesn't eat much, not only her, but also the other three adults. Obviously, the second master of the Hong family hopes that other people will accompany him for the New Year's Eve dinner, rather than these few people in front of him. indivual.

Puhuang didn't want to take the leftover food back. The second master of the Hong family didn't have any preparations. Besides, the two little maids looked pitiful, so let them have extra meals.

After the meal, Hong Haoping discussed with Hong Haoan, who would take the second master of the Hong family home to celebrate the New Year at night, it would not be good for an old man to watch the night alone, the village would poke their backs if they knew about it.

It's just that their plans were far from catching up with the changes in the situation. Not long after dinner, someone drove over in a carriage, saying that they wanted to take the second master of the Hong family to the city to enjoy his blessings.The person who came was no stranger, and it was the person who took the child away last time. Presumably, Hong Haobao was waiting outside the village.

However, if Hong Haobao was really filial to the second master of the Hong family, why didn't he pick up the child with him?I'm afraid I have another idea in my heart?

Since the second master of the Hong family wanted to make progress, he would save himself a lot of trouble. Hong Haoan and Puhuang both heaved a sigh of relief, but Hong Haoping was a little disappointed. Obviously, he took care of him with all his heart these days, and did not elevate him in Hong The position in the heart of the second master of the family.

In the afternoon of New Year's Eve, there are people in almost every household, who have to take care of the whole body, put on new clothes, and wash the dirty ones at the same time, because you can't wash clothes with a knife on the first day of the new year.Therefore, they all know about the second master of the Hong family being taken away. Some short-sighted people think that the second master of the Hong family is very lucky, but more people think that the second master of the Hong family is unclear and does not love his filial son. Just thinking about that heartless Yao'er, I'm afraid it won't end well in the future.

But these words are all avoided by Hong Haoan, Hong Haoping and the others. They say bad things about others behind their backs, so guilty!

As soon as the second master of the Hong family left, there were only two little maids left in the old house. Puhuang didn't want to interfere with this, but Mrs. Chen was more concerned. Mrs. Wu would never come back again. The crops in the field, those few Sheep, two pigs, a group of chickens and ducks, these are always taken over by people.

Maybe you can't get the land deed and house deed, but if you can get these outputs, you can also earn money.But Mrs. Chen didn't want to take it all by herself, so she asked Puhuang for her opinion, and learned that she didn't care about anything, and took over everything in the old house comfortably.
