Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 143
But some things are just so weird, within a few days, Wanwan heard Shitou Niang say that Yang Yizhi has improved a lot, that he is more energetic than the previous few days, and his appetite has increased.On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, I saw Yang Yizhi walking around the village with his hands behind his back holding a dry cigarette.

Everyone smiled and greeted him when they saw him, and Yang Yizhi also responded with a smile.Baishou and Laisheng were cleaning at home, and walked to the gate of the courtyard, before approaching, Yang Yizhi greeted her with a smile from a distance: "Baishou daughter-in-law, are you busy?"

"Busy, Baishou and Laisheng are busy at home. Village chief, you seem to be in good spirits today!" Wanwan smiled and looked at him and said, feeling strange.

His complexion is much rosier than before, and he is in good spirits, and his speech is not as weak as when he went to see him that day.This heresy method is really amazing!
"I've been nesting at home for too long, and people are getting moldy. Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Come out to get rid of the mold." Yang Yizhi tapped the cigarette stick on the wall, stood at the door and looked into the yard.

Because he wanted to clean thoroughly, Baishou carried all the movable things in the house to the yard, and they were all scattered, and the yard was full of mess.

Yang Yizhi looked at it and smiled.

"The house is busy and a bit chaotic, why don't the village chief come in and have a sit?" Wang Wan looked at him and asked tentatively.

"Okay!" Yang Yizhi immediately responded readily, and then stepped into the yard.

Baishou heard the movement in the house and came out. Seeing that it was Yang Yizhi, he was very happy, and Wanwan brought a stool for him to sit down, but Yang Yizhi said: "Don't sit, walk more, and feel refreshed."

Then she sat in the yard by herself and watched Yang Yizhi talking and laughing with Baishou. She first stood in the corridor of their house, saying that the design was great, and then went around to the back of the house, looked at the pigsty, and then at the chicken coop. And the vegetable garden, sighed: "Your pigsty, chicken coop, and vegetable garden are too crowded, but after careful observation, I found that the arrangement is actually the most reasonable, and the cleaning is clean, which makes people feel very neat and tidy."

Finally, he went to the bathroom and took Baishou to explain the magical function of this house to him. He was more energetic than Baishou, and he seemed to be recovering from his illness.

Wanwan looked up at the clear sky, the world became more and more evil.Then put my palms together slightly, and began to tell God silently my wish in my heart, hoping that one day my daydream will come true!

Time is like running water, this is already the second year that Wanwan has lived in this place, after sweeping the dust, it is time to worship the stove.

Wanwan doesn't have to do anything now, and he will be sensible in the next life. Since Baishou told him for the first time, he kept it in mind, and Baishou didn't let Wanwan work, and he was the same. Help with some work, and before Baishou can speak, Laisheng blocks her first.Especially when Baishou was not at home, he even took the initiative to take care of the family affairs, and asked Wanwan to rest in a serious and orderly manner.

On the day of offering sacrifices to the stove, sacrifices are still placed at dusk, offering incense to the Stove Lord, offering spoonfuls of sugar to the Stove Lord, sweet mouth, and then sending the Stove Lord to heaven.After the sacrifice of the stove, we started to chase the New Year, and take a bath. We boiled two large pots of water, and the family took a comfortable bath. In the meaning of the New Year, it means that the bad luck of the year has been removed, to welcome the New Year, and to hope for the coming year. A year of good luck follows.

On New Year's Eve, the family simply prepares a banquet, and Baishou has no relatives. The so-called banquet includes two more dishes than usual, and rice wine.Wanwan is not allowed to drink alcohol, and Baishouben also does not have a wedding ceremony. In order to enjoy the joy of the New Year, he drank a bowl symbolically.He had never drank this rice wine in his next life, but after tasting it, he felt it was good, so he poured himself a large bowl, and after one bowl, he became dizzy.

He was not allowed to drink, but he wanted to drink, so Baishou only drank a bowl, and let the next life drink the rest, no matter how much they persuaded him, they couldn't persuade him.He didn't even eat a meal, and fell asleep on the table.

Looking at it, Wan Wan could only smile helplessly: "Greedy brat!"

But Baishou was very upset, and threw him back on the bed like carrying a sack, and decided in his heart that he would never let him drink again.

The next day was New Year's Eve. After breakfast, the villagers began to go to the market one after another.Going to the market on New Year's Eve can cure all diseases. This custom in the countryside has been passed down to this day. Regardless of whether it can cure all diseases, it is very lively and festive to go to the market on this day.

Bai Shou led the bullock cart and walked slowly, and sat on the grass-padded bullock cart, looking east and west leisurely all the way.There are few people on the small road on weekdays, but there are also many passers-by at this time. Everyone is carrying a bag, or carrying a burden, some are buying new year's goods, and some are picking things to sell.

The dead grass on the side of the road seems to have begun to sprout and grow, and the fields are full of green wheat, and the monotonous scenery suddenly becomes beautiful and vivid.

Wanwan hummed a song happily, and occasionally met one or two acquaintances on the road, and she was very happy to say hello to them from the bottom of her heart.The next life was drunk last night, and when he went out, he was still hanging his head, holding a piece of hay while walking and waving it. After playing for a while, he seemed to gain momentum. I am happy to say that I will be able to wear new clothes tomorrow!
Stopping and stopping, I don't think it's far away. I soon arrived at the market, and when I got to the market entrance, I saw crowds of people. The stalls selling goods have been set up in the market, but there is no sign of desertion. Some people look at each other.

Wanwan couldn't help sighing: "If we make hundreds of cakes today, maybe we can sell them all!"

Baishou just laughed: "How can a person earn all the money in this life?" He stretched out his hand and gently scratched her nose: "Even if you want, I won't allow it!"

Wanwan rubbed his itchy nose, stretched his neck long, glanced straight at the crowd, and murmured: "What do you know, look at these sellers, who doesn't sell them with a smile on their faces, and there will be a lot of money in a year." How many days is this opportunity?"

Baishou immediately grinned, without saying a word, carefully helped her out of the cart, and led the ox cart to a special place, usually no one cares about these things, only because there are too many people today, the county magistrate makes people come here every year today Outside the bazaar, there is a special place for ox carts and other means of transportation.

After hearing what the two of them said, Lai Sheng who had been following him took out all the dozen or so copper coins from his arms, counted them and handed them to Wan Wan: "Sister-in-law, I want to buy something too."

Wan Wan looked at the copper plate in his hand, and said, "What do you want to buy? We have everything to eat at home, and the meat has been cut, what do you buy?"

"I want to buy..." Laisheng tilted his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted for a moment. He ran to the side, got into the crowd, shook his head, got out and squeezed into another group of people, holding a bag in his hand. Looking at the copper plate here and there, I haven't decided what I want to buy for a long time.

Looking at Wanwan and sighing, he walked over and screwed him out, and then whispered: "What are you in a hurry for? There are still a lot of things in the market, we are just here at the entrance, besides, look at the people in the market today There are so many, if you don’t put your few copper coins away, thieves will steal them later, and you will have nowhere to cry!”

Laisheng stared: "Who dares to steal from me? And why didn't I meet any thieves before?"

Wanwan rolled his eyes: "Have you ever gone to the market with grandpa before and had so much money in your hand?"

Afterlife shook his head.

"That's it. Before you didn't even have a copper coin on you, thieves didn't bother to look at you. If you want to buy something, you might as well buy something your grandpa likes later, and we will put it in the yard at night. It can be regarded as your filial piety to your grandfather."

After hearing this, the eyes of the next life brightened: "Yes, grandpa likes to drink, I want to drink for grandpa."

"That's right, put your copper coins away, and you can't run around today, you have to follow your brother. Your few copper coins have been exposed just now, if the silver is gone, you can't buy it for grandpa Alcohol."

Lai Sheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Wan Wan, seeming to understand half of it, but he put all the copper coins into his arms neatly, and after entering the market, he really followed behind Bai Shou obediently.

Seeing Wanwan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth immediately.

The things needed at home have already been purchased, today the three of them are just here to join in the fun, the market is bustling with people, all kinds of hawking are incessant, the streets, taverns, and restaurants are all full of customers.The sound of everyone talking loudly, drinking, and yelling mixed together, so lively!

I was so happy that Wanwan also wanted to go to a restaurant. Of course, Baishou had no objection. The three of them walked to several restaurants and there was no place. Finally, at the entrance of the alley, I saw a small stall selling wontons. Although the stall was small, there were already enough seats. Few people, a young couple and an old woman are warmly greeting everyone.

A table happened to be vacant, and the three of them met immediately. One of them ordered a bowl of wontons. The wontons were cooked quickly, and the aroma was overflowing as soon as they were placed on the table. They didn’t care about anything else, and started to eat after serving the bowl. stand up.

Wanwan took a deep breath, it was very fragrant, he couldn't help but move his index finger, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The three of them were eating, when Wanwan suddenly heard someone calling him, looked up, it turned out to be her mother, followed by Wang Xiaocao and Wang Yuansheng.

Wang Yuansheng seemed to be very obedient today, he first called out "Second Sister, Second Brother-in-law."

Wang Xiaocao also called someone, her face was a little pale, she was thinner than before, but the situation was much better than what Wang Li said last time.The smile was a little weak, and he glanced at Wan Wan hastily and immediately lowered his head.

Wanwan saw the embarrassment in her expression.When Wang Wan said those words to her mother for the first time, Wang Xiaocao was very unhappy when she found out, and complained a lot in front of her mother, but later Mr. Liang was really guessed by Wan Wan, Wang Xiaocao She almost lost her life, she was naturally regretful in her heart, and she was naturally a little embarrassed to see Wan Wan.

Wan Wan didn't think too much about it, he asked the three of them to sit down, Bai Shou and Lai Sheng squeezed together, after the three of them sat down, Wan Wan asked the boss for another three bowls of wontons, knowing that there was something to eat, Wang Yuansheng's eyes lit up, Wanwan Niang also looked very happy.

Three more bowls of wonton won't cost much money, so Wanwan doesn't care about it, seeing her mother put something in her back and covered it with a cloth, she said, "Mother bought a lot of new year's goods!"

Her mother smiled and said: "I bought some flour, and some paper money, and cut some meat. Your father said he wants to eat meat tonight. No, I also gave him wine."

Poor families usually celebrate New Year's Eve, and dumplings are made on the [-]th night.It was the same way when she and Baishou were on the mountain.

"Mother, it's good to eat meat, there is meat every year, every day, and life will be better in the coming year!" Wan Wan said.

"Yes, yes!" Her mother smiled, she would like to hear auspicious words during the New Year.

"Father didn't come to the market today?"

"Come here, he didn't come with us, he went to sell things, and he went back directly when he was done."

Wanwan wanted to ask if she could find her father and ask him to come over to eat a bowl of wontons, but her mother said, "Don't worry about him, we'll come back when we agreed to sell out. He's probably sold out by now."

Later, the more I talked, the happier I became: "Didn't our family keep a piece of good wood? Your father made some poles and sold them. Today, there are more people and they can be sold at a better price than usual."

Most people use bamboo to make it, but it is not as strong as wood, and the wood has to be dry, and the tree just cut from the mountain is not good.

While talking, the wontons were cooked.
