Yiyi's ancient life

Chapter 54 Laba Festival

Time flies, and before you know it, it is the Laba Festival.

In Lingqi country, there is a custom of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival.However, unlike the modern Laba porridge, the ingredients are not so complete.According to Qiulian’s sister-in-law, people in the village boil millet, rice, peanuts, and red dates together on this day, and add some sugar when they start the pot.

Yun Yiyi thought that the whole Lingqi country was like this, but Dashan told her that only the rural and poorer families would be like this, and the richer families would have all eight kinds, more like almonds, peach kernels, yellow rice, etc. Expensive ingredients.

It has been said that Laba is the year, so people still attach great importance to this day.Even the children in the village began to sing jingles in groups:
Don't be hungry, kid, kid.
After Laba is the New Year.

Drink Laba porridge for a few days,

Milly la la 23.

23 sticky melon.

24 sweep the house.

25 Make tofu.

26 Boil the meat.

27 kill the chicken of the year.

28 facial hair.

29 steamed buns.

Thirty nights to play one night,
New Year's Eve twists and turns.

……

Yun Yiyi looked at the group of children who were having fun not far away with a smile, and her thoughts turned to the modern age.She remembered that when she was five or six years old, she seemed to read this along with the children in the same community.It was a small garden downstairs in their house, and beautiful flowers bloomed in the garden all year round, even in winter.

In their city, there is almost no winter, neither snow nor ice.

She still remembers that when she pulled the corner of the child's clothes and read this passage aloud, her mother always stood aside and looked at her lovingly, the smile on her mouth was warmer than the dazzling sunshine.

But sometimes, it is also my father, although the frequency is relatively small, but maybe because of the small number, she always feels very happy when her father is with her.

Unfortunately, after the age of eight, there is no such time anymore.She began to attend various interest classes, and her schoolbag became heavier and heavier.

……

She didn't know why she suddenly thought of these things at such a moment, but she knew that she missed that winter, the years of laughing and laughing, and the family members who had always cared for her and cared for her.

It's a pity that those things have quietly left, getting farther and farther away from her.

"Fool, why are you crying?"

Yun Yiyi was stunned for a moment, did she cry?

At this moment, a pair of warm hands reached out to gently wipe away the coldness from the corners of her eyes.

Yun Yiyi smiled lightly, in addition to the slight pain and longing in the red eyes, there was also a touch of happiness and relief.

"No, I'm just a little homesick." She said, "Brother Dashan, let's go eat Laba porridge!"

"it is good!"

At the same time, at Wang Ahu's house, a family of three was eating soft, glutinous and sweet Laba porridge.

"His father, I want to visit my father and mother tomorrow, and send them some Laba porridge by the way."

"No, let me go, you haven't bought it for three months, it's too bumpy to ride an ox cart and it's not safe!"

Qiu Lian opened her mouth. Originally, she wanted to fight for it again. After all, she hadn't seen her parents for a long time, but she also thought about what her father said about the baby in her belly. She was not stable yet, so she agreed.

"Okay, then I won't go this time! By the way, my parents don't know that I'm pregnant yet, so you go and tell them by the way. There is also Blessing, remember to ask him to come to me in a few days one trip."

At this time, the little tiger who was sipping porridge on the side raised his hand: "I want to go too, I want to go too! I want to see grandpa, grandma and uncle!"

Qiulian gave her boy a loving look, and agreed.At the end, he added: "By the way, I'll tell my sister later that I will borrow her family's ox cart tomorrow."

Wang Ahu swallowed a mouthful of porridge, and said, "Okay!"

*
The home of the head of Wangjia Village.

"Her father, come over to eat Laba porridge!"

"coming!"

Just after taking a bite, Chunhua suddenly stopped for some reason.She looked at her man hesitantly, and said: "Her father, Qiuyue brought a letter, saying that she would like to come to our house for a few days."

Wang Xigui was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's not like you don't know the virtues of her husband's family. A few years ago, although my brother-in-law was lazy, he was good to her, but in the past two years, because of his gambling addiction, he started beating his wife. , Do you think my sister's thin body can withstand his beatings several times? I heard that this time it was even more extreme. She brought the sisters from the kiln home. Can Qiuyue bear this anger? ? So she wants to divorce, but her husband's family has always disagreed, so she asked me to come here."

Wang Xigui still has some understanding of his sister-in-law's situation, but the man and they are not from the same village, so what can he say?It's okay to take her in for a few days, but he really doesn't know how to help her.

"How can I help her? You also know that her husband's family is in Xiejia Village, and that old bastard Xie Wenqi has been fighting against me all the time, what can I do?"

Chunhua was also stunned when she heard this, and almost forgot that the child's father and Xie Wenqi, the village head of Xiejia Village, were not getting along.But she is just that younger sister!Since she was a child, she loved this younger sister very much, and Qiuyue was also very close to her, and would tell her almost everything. Now, how could she bear to watch her stay in the fire pit and not save her?
Dashan is all to blame. If it wasn't for him, Qiuyue would not have lost all hope at that time and hastily married that useless ruffian, let alone be reduced to this point.

A trace of resentment flashed across Chunhua's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.She lowered her head and thought for a long time, and when she raised her head again, her face was full of concern.

"Father, just help me figure out a way, I'm just that younger sister..."

Seeing his mother-in-law's pitiful pleading face, Wang Xigui couldn't bear to refuse any more, so he let go.Big deal, I'll have the cheek to go and find that old man who doesn't repair himself!Who told her to be his own sister-in-law?
After receiving the promise, Chunhua's brows finally opened, and she knew that her father would definitely not sit idly by. Since he agreed, he would definitely find a way to make it happen.She still understands this man in her own family. Although he doesn't have much ability, he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he will do what he says.In this way, she can rest assured!

Also, wait until Qiuyue comes here...

Ah!Let me see how loving you are!
