Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 148
The cloudy and rainy weather continued intermittently until December 23, the day of worshiping the Kitchen God in the lunar calendar, when the clouds in the sky were swept away, revealing the golden sun.

The Kitchen God is the legendary god of food and drink. It is said that he is in charge of the family's fortune, so Du Xiaoyu's house is no exception. , glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice cakes, sesame candies and the like.

First burn incense, then each person takes turns to go up and worship, and finally burn a paper horse as a mount for the Kitchen God to send the Kitchen God off to heaven, and the ceremony is over.

From today onwards, it is basically the New Year. The family has cooked various dishes one after another, such as lion heads, egg dumplings, steamed sausages, braised pork, etc., all of which are placed on the stove. If you want to eat on weekdays, you can put them on the stove Heat it up.

Recently, when the weather is fine, Du Xiaoyu will hold Xiao Qingqiu and run to the yard to play for a while, basking in the sun. She likes to hold her younger sister most of the time, maybe subconsciously she is still a little resentful towards patriarchy.

"Qingqiu, come, call my sister, sister, sister Jiye..." They have to do their homework every day and teach them pronunciation. Now the two babies are almost four months old, and they can already make various sounds.

Xiao Qingqiu stared at her, and suddenly spit out a big mouthful of saliva, making her face.

Du Xiaoyu was stunned, "You, you, you bad guy, you actually spit on me? You!" She wiped her face with her sleeve, and stretched out her hand to threaten, "Do you dare, dare you? Do you dare to do it again? Try spitting it out, there is no milk! There is no rice cereal!"

Du Wenyuan chuckled behind him, "Our little Qingqiu will probably be a mess when he grows up."

"She can't be messed with now, who in the family won't be tossed by her." Du Xiaoyu sighed, took out a square scarf from his sleeve and wiped Xiao Qingqiu's face, "But that's all, you are still young, you have grown up Try it, and be so skinny when you grow up, and see if I don't slap your ass!"

"Xiaoyu, the rice porridge is ready, bring your sister in." Mrs. Zhao brought a bowl of steaming milk-yellow rice porridge from the kitchen. Recently, the milk and the rice porridge are fed in turn, and the two babies love it too.

She blew cold with her mouth and put a small spoonful of it into the baby's mouth, while Du Xian and Du Wenyuan were responsible for feeding the lucky egg.

As soon as she finished, she heard voices at the door. Mrs. Zhao couldn't believe her ears. She ran outside and shouted, "Toshiba? Is it Toshiba?"

Zhao Dongzhi's coquettish voice came, "It's me, sister, let's come here for the New Year!"

Du Xiaoyu has black hair. The two sisters are really close. They have only been away for a few months, and Zhao Dongzhi came again. They can't wait to move, but how can they live at home?

I went out to have a look, fortunately not all of them came, only Zhao Dongzhi, Huang Xiaoying, and Huang Lishu came. The ox cart was hired, and they left after paying the money.

"Oh, I'm always thinking about my sister and my two lovely babies!" Zhao Dongzhi hugged Fudan, and Qingqiu didn't let go, kissing her cheeks, "Tsk tsk, she's much better than my family."

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "You are not afraid that the child will be unhappy, she is good-looking! My little daughter suddenly made me lose weight, see? Didn't she lose a lot of weight and always make trouble at night, and you still praise her? Lucky egg It's good, it's really good."

Zhao Dongzhi looked at Zhao Shi, squeezed her arm, "I'm really thin, so Xiao Qingqiu is a troublemaker." After speaking, he pinched her face and couldn't stop laughing.

"You are celebrating Chinese New Year now, Xiaoying's father won't talk about you?" Zhao was a little worried. Although her brother-in-law had no relatives, it would be inappropriate for the New Year's Eve to come here, leaving her husband behind and leaving her two children cold. Leftovers are always a bad thing, and I couldn't help but scold him after all, "You, you are still too self-willed! Xiaoying's father is honest and doesn't treat like this."

Zhao Dongzhi grinned, "Sister, do you still think I'm a child? Naturally, I came here after discussing with my husband. The last time I moved, I just talked about it. I think you have started looking for land. I just came to see it." Depending on the situation, I might as well move here early next year. My husband is considerate and considerate. He knows that my sister and I are close, so what’s not to like? Besides, I’m afraid of eating and so on. My elder brother will naturally take care of me, so why worry? "

It's different to have an older brother to take care of you all the year round, Zhao said with a smile, "Anyway, your temperament is the same as before, and you are lucky to have a good husband."

Zhao Dongzhi covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister, let's stop complimenting each other. You say that about me, but you want me to praise you for your good fortune!"

"You damn girl." Mrs. Zhao patted her and laughed.

Zhao Dongzhi looked at Du Xian, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? Can you find a suitable place for us? Let's talk about it first, it's not far away, I will live next door to your house."

This aunt is definitely loved by everyone at home, and she still looks like she's not growing up. Du Xiaoyu thought to herself, if her mother hadn't left Nandong Village, she didn't know what it would be like.

"I've found it. I was still talking to my wife a few days ago. It's just behind our house in the northwest direction. I'll take you to see it in a few years. If you think it's good, you can buy it right away."

Zhao Dongzhi nodded repeatedly.

This New Year can be said to be the most lively Spring Festival that Du Xiaoyu has ever had. Needless to say, Zhao Dongzhi is a lively person, and his cousin Huang Lishu is a rambunctious one. Playing around, coupled with the occasional babysitting of the two babies, emptied her energy.

Years later, Zhao Dongzhi went to Zhu's house to look at the house.

The environment is really good. According to Du Xiaoyu, Feng Shui should be better than their home. There is a small bamboo forest in the back, and there are a few luxuriant trees around. It is usually very quiet. The front view is wide and there are no people blocking it. The family was also very nice, with kind faces and seemed extremely happy.

Zhao Dongzhi was very satisfied, and even said that the layout of their family in Nandong Village was much better. When they decided to buy it, Mrs. Zhao pulled her to whisper, meaning that Du Xian wanted to come up with the money and asked her to accept the money. Favor.

But before it was settled, the fields had to be bought, otherwise their family would not be able to move here without a source of income, so Mrs. Zhao talked about the sale of smoked rabbits.

Zhao Dongzhi had seen the big smoked pit in the kitchen a long time ago. There was a row of smoked rabbits hanging on it.

The three boys in their family will marry their wives in the future. How much money can they earn by farming alone?At that time, she saw that Zhao's family was raising rabbits and growing herbs. In fact, she had already started to feel active. After all, it is good to be able to do business.

Zhao Dongzhi thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of running to the county. Anyway, I'm idle, and it's nothing for more than an hour. There are four children in the family. My sister also saw it. Shu'er is naughty, and the other two are too. It's not going to be any better, if I go to the county with my husband, and Xiaoying will marry again in less than two years, who can control them? Why don't we break up the family?"

Before Mrs. Zhao could speak, Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You can just find a private school and study."

When Huang Lishu heard this, he gave Du Xiaoyu a hard look.

It seems that he is afraid of reading, Du Xiaoyu made a face at him, and shook his fist in anger.

"Xiaoyu is right. That's the reason. There is a new teacher in our village. He teaches very well. They are all sent to him to study." Mrs. Zhao also heard from Aunt Wu, "I will ask about it when the time comes. , you can send the two older ones to study, and the younger one can be put in our house, and it will be easy to eat, so why don’t you just add a few pairs of chopsticks.” She said with red eyes, “Can you come here? It’s not like living as a family and talking about this.”

Zhao Dongzhi immediately hugged Zhao Shi and acted coquettishly, "I still treat me well, just because I'm afraid you will find it troublesome."

"What's the trouble, I'm happy to trouble you." Mrs. Zhao poked her on the head, "But don't be lazy when you get home, the elder brother is not here, I'll tell you if you're shameless."

"It's exactly the same as what the elder brother said." Zhao Dongzhi grinned, "I know, I'm going to come back from the county at night, and I will definitely help bring your two children. Can someone please?"

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Du Xiaoyu, "You two are quite alike, you will be blessed."

Several people laughed.

Seeing that Huang Lishu couldn't sit still, Zhao Dongzhi reached out to knock him a chestnut, "Like your cousin Wenyuan, study hard in the future, don't run around like crazy all day long."

"I can't read!" Huang Lishu ran out angrily.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoying said, "I still have to give him a good beating when I come back. I made him study and refuse to listen to me earlier. Mother, don't let him go this time!"

"Hey, I just can't calm down." Zhao Dongzhi was also helpless, "Look at how good Wen Yuan is in your family..." She remembered what her sister-in-law had told her, and immediately changed her words, "Now I'm a little older, maybe Be more obedient, and if you refuse to study, you will be sent to learn carpentry, anyway, Li Gen will always go."

After hearing this, Du Xiaoyu thought that if Huang Lishu really didn't want to study, he could still learn martial arts from Lin Song. It's a pity that he will leave next year, so he couldn't help sighing.

After negotiating, the matter of selling smoked rabbits has been concluded, and the house will naturally be settled. Du Xian went to Zhu's house the next day, and paid part of the deposit first, and agreed to move out in February after the agreement, about five days The whole house can be cleaned within a short period of time.

Zhao Dongzhi stayed for a few more days before reluctantly leaving.

"I'll cut some trees tomorrow, and I'll make the simple furniture myself." Du Xian's handwork is getting better and better. He made the wooden beds for the two children at home, and he has become more and more addicted to it. It's okay. Just make a stool chair or something.

"Father, you don't need to save your energy, and you'll be tired again in the spring." Du Xiaoyu disagrees, "I'm going to buy it anyway, so why don't you let people do it together?"

"Your child is a prodigal." Du Xian pointed at her. He was generous to buy a house for others, and he was reluctant to give up such a small amount of money. "Your father has nothing to do when he is idle. How tiring it is to do this, little one." Jin can still lend a hand."

Speaking of Li Jin, she remembered that she had mentioned about borrowing books for him, so she thought about going to the county to sell smoked rabbits in a few days and go to Wanfu to borrow some books, and then told his father not to get tired, so he went to the rabbit Home patrol.
