Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 149 Drop by the door

In the first month, it is a day to visit relatives and friends, eat, drink and have fun, and women are not allowed to do needlework.People who have been busy for a year, at this time, can be regarded as a real rest.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Jingya and her husband went back to their natal family, and now the Xu family had everything in order.The old man and the old lady looked happily at the children and grandchildren that filled the room, feeling infinitely satisfied in their hearts.The old lady ordered to make a few more of the delicious food that Ming Yu sent, so that everyone could taste it.

As a result, a lot of seafood was added to the banquet at noon.

Jingya and his wife lived in Xu's house for a few days, and they didn't return to Yue's house until the sixth day.Mrs. Chen wanted to stay with them for a few more days, but Jingya was a little embarrassed, so Pengcheng said it would be better to go back to Yue's house.The old lady couldn't stay anymore, so she brought them a lot of delicious food and some supplements, and sent the young couple away.

Wanting came back this time and hasn't seen her parents yet.So after seeing off Jingya, Zhixiang took Wanting and the child to the county in a carriage.Qingnian and Huixin had lived in Xu's house for a long time, so they both left and went home.Zhide and his wife eat here during the day and go back to their own house at night.With these people gone, the room at home can be a little more relaxed.

The seventh day of the lunar new year is the seventh day of the lunar calendar, and every household has to make dumplings. On this day, everyone did not go out, and all stayed at home.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the old man said he wanted to go back to the village to have a look, so a dozen or so members of his family went back to the village in a bullock cart.When everyone returned to the village, of course they had to go to the old man's cousin, Xu Chengyuan's house first.In Xu Chengyuan's house, the two sons took their daughters-in-law and children back to their natal homes, and there were only two old people left in the family.

When the cousins ​​meet, of course they have endless things to say, so a few old people sat and chatted on the kang.But Xue and the others saw that there was no one else at home, so they could only do it themselves, preparing meals and so on.Fortunately, I prepared a lot of food when I came here, so it wasn't too busy.

"Head of the family, take the children out for a walk, go to the village chief's house, and pay New Year's greetings to the village chief's house. Then tell them to come to our uncle's place for a drink at noon. We can come back once a year, and we will see less time for villagers in the future, so don't let the old friendship fade away." Mrs. Xue said when she saw Zhixin when she entered the house.

Zhixin nodded, "Okay, then I'll go right away." Saying that, he led Wenhan and the boys outside.

"Boss, wait a minute. Didn't we bring a lot of things, some of which are for the villagers. You take them, this is for the Chinese New Year, bring some rare things, and everyone will try something new." Chen Shi called Zhixin to stop.

"Oh, I got it, mother." Zhixin agreed and went out.When he came to the outhouse, Mrs. Xue found out the prepared things.In fact, it's nothing, just the dried seafood sent by Mingyu, such as shrimps and scallops.One pack per family, let the big guys follow along and taste it.

Jinghan couldn't sit still in the room, so she told Mrs. Chen that she wanted to go out for a walk.There are a few girls in the village. They used to get along well. It is rare to come back. I have to see them. I don’t know if they are there yet.

Jing Han led Jing Wan and Jing Xian together, first went to Lin's house.In the second year of junior high, Lin Xing's family went to Xu's family with them, and Jing Han also met with Zixuan and Yumei, and they all had a meal together.Logically speaking, Zhixin should have brought his family here today, but it was rare for them to go back to the village, so they had to go to someone else's house first.Fortunately, the relationship between the two is very good, and no one cares about this matter.

Coincidentally, Mrs. He brought the child back from her mother's house yesterday, and they are all at home now.Jinghan and the others entered the yard, just in time to see Ziwen playing with firecrackers in the yard. "Ziwen, we are here, are uncle and aunt at home?" Jinghan asked.

"Oh, sister Jinghan, you are here. My father, my mother, and my brother are all at home. Come, come in with me." Saying that, Ziwen quickly packed up the firecrackers in his hand and led the Jinghan and the others entered the house.

In the house, the old man and old lady of the Lin family are also there.There are two brothers in Lin Xing's family. After the separation, the old couple will live with each son for a year. It just so happens that this year it is the turn of the Xing family.

The Jinghan sisters entered the house, and first saluted the old man and the old lady, "Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, Happy New Year."

"Hey, okay, everything is fine. Sit down quickly, look at these girls from the Xu family, they are all so juicy, it's really painful." The old lady hurriedly told Jinghan and the others to sit down.The old couple already knew about Zixuan and Jinghan's marriage, so they became more enthusiastic about Jinghan.

Zixuan and Yumei were also there, and Zixuan's gaze was always on Jinghan.Although we met each other in the second day of junior high school, this person who is in love can't wait to see the person he loves every day.

"Let's eat here at noon. Let's have a lively time together. Let Yumei go and call Xiaoxiu and Xiaojuan. You guys haven't seen each other for a while. Xiaoxiu and Xiaojuan are also engaged. Maybe they will get married in autumn , it will be even more difficult to meet at that time." He naturally wanted to spend more time with Jinghan, and his son's eyes were always on her.

"Auntie, I really can't do it today. My father will probably come in a while, and I'm going to set up wine at the grandfather's place today, so that everyone in the village can go to drink. How about this, let's go to my grandfather's place first today, and wait for our family to come one day Come to my aunt's house alone, and let's have a good time. Anyway, in this first month, some people have free time." Jing Han said with a smile.

Before Jing Han finished speaking, Lin Xing's family came in outside, "Daughter-in-law, I went to Uncle Xu's for lunch at noon today. Brother Zhixin and the others are here, and they want me to go there." Lin Xing's family entered the house, Only then did I realize that Jing Han and the others were also there. "Yo, it turns out that Jinghan is here. Hehe, okay, sit down, I'll go to your grandpa's first. I just discussed with your father. On the tenth day of the day after tomorrow, your family will come here. Let's Let's have fun together."

Jing Han quickly agreed. "Since Uncle Lin and Dad have agreed, that's fine. When we all come, Auntie has to prepare something delicious."

"Hey, okay, my aunt will definitely cook some special dishes for you to try." Mrs. He agreed with a smile, and then turned back to tell Xingjia, "Don't drink too much when you go out, you've been drinking all the time these days. Take care of yourself."

Xingjia didn't say anything, and turned back to the old man and said, "Father, you can come together, let's all go over."

The old lady of the Lin family glared at the Xing family, "Your father can't drink, he will feel uncomfortable smelling alcohol all his life, don't you know?" The old man fell into the wine cellar when he was young and almost drowned. Can't touch it either.

Xingjia scratched his head and smiled. "Mother, am I happy? Hehe, that's fine, then I'll go. You can eat at home by yourself." After saying that, she went out.

Jinghan and the others sat at Lin's house for a while, and then went to find Xiaoxiu and the others.Yumei went out with Jinghan and the others, and everyone went to the east end of the village to find their former friends.

Xiaoxiu went out but didn't come back, Xiaojuan was at home, everyone chatted at Zhao's house for a while, Jinghan guessed that the family might be about to eat, so she took Jingwan and Jingxian to say goodbye to Xiaojuan, and then returned to Xuzhou. Home.

In Xu Chengyuan's house, Mrs. Xue and the others have almost finished cooking.Seeing Jinghan coming back, Mrs. Xue asked Jinghan to quickly help put the table on and prepare for dinner.There were not enough tables in the Xu family, so Wen Han went to the next-door neighbor's house to borrow two tables, and then set up two tables in each of the east and west rooms, so they all sat down.

Xu Chengkuan and his cousin were sitting at the same table, together with Village Chief Zhou, and the old men of the Wu family and the Li family, all of the same age, chatting together.

"Not to mention, this time when Big Brother Xu and the others come back, they feel a bit like returning home. At the beginning, the family had things to do, and even the house and land were sold. Now they not only bought a house in the town, but also bought land. Life is dozens of times better than before. How about what people say, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. You see, the first person in the family, two scholars, and a serious scholarly family Zhixiang is still an official outside, and these juniors still have to take part in the scientific examination, if another Jinshi is passed through the examination, it will be really terrible." Village Chief Zhou sighed.

"It's thanks to the big guy, isn't it? Back then we didn't even have a place to stay. If the village didn't let us see the ginseng, we wouldn't know where to squat in the corner now." The old man laughed.

"Brother Xu, this is wrong. If your family doesn't go to see the ginseng, our village will have to rotate it from house to house? These years, you have been on the mountain, not only did you not throw away any sticks, but you also boiled water and hot meals for the big guys. Yes, it’s a lot more convenient for us. Last year, the ginseng site changed places. Many people in our village thought that you made money by watching ginseng, so they wanted to go to the mountains to see ginseng. But ah, this job is not so good He did it. Look at the Erlu family. Last autumn, he went to look at the frozen skin. How did it turn out? Within two months, he couldn’t bear the hardships on the mountain, so he quit arguing. This year, he has to find another person to open the village. Alas, I am so worried, I am afraid that no one can work so sincerely like the big brother's family." Village Chief Zhou sighed, Xu's family is on the mountain, so there is really nothing to worry about in the village.Now that it's changed, it's really a heart that can't be finished.

Xu Chengkuan can't say anything, now his family really doesn't need this point to see the participation fee, next year the entire participation venue will be withdrawn, and the old man is not going to let his sons suffer this again, so he can't help the village chief busy. "The village chief doesn't have to worry. The Erlu is a bit out of tune, so it's good not to use him. It's not too much trouble, as long as he can stay on the mountain steadily. Besides. , It’s only the first year, and it’s only about [-] feet long, how beautiful it is.” Anyway, it’s impossible for my family to go to another place to see ginseng.
