Chapter 90 Shopping (2)
Father Ning and Uncle Ning also took out the prepared red envelopes in their arms and gave them to several children. Even Ning Yuji, the oldest, got a red envelope.

It was already very late, Hui Niang saw that the children were almost unable to hold on anymore, so she hurriedly took them back to the residence, she greeted Second Aunt Ning and asked everyone to rest early, and then she went back to the room with a candle .

The room was warm, and when Ning Yuyao got into bed, the warm breath lingered all over her body.The days here are so beautiful, it must be smooth sailing, she thought faintly, but she went to play chess with Zhou Gong soon after her thoughts flowed.

After a night without dreams, when Ning Yuyao opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.After the whole family finished breakfast, Ning Yuyao and a group of children followed Father Ning and Uncle Ning to visit the graves of their grandparents whom they had never seen before.

This is the first time for Ning Yuyao to go to the grave. She didn't come with her because she was too young. In Ning Yuyao's view, going to the grave is very particular. First of all, the offerings must be carefully prepared. Hui Niang carefully prepared them early at home. Some chicken, fish, meat and eggs and other various meals and tableware, followed by fruits, sugar cakes, liquor and the like, and a lot of burnt paper, Ming coins, incense candles, and of course firecrackers are indispensable.Father Ning, as the head of the grave ceremony, would light incense and chant while placing tributes in front of the tombstone, asking the relatives who went first to "eat" the tributes.Let the relatives in heaven bless you, so that your family can prosper, your wealth will be prosperous, your life will be happy, and those who are officials will be even more prosperous.At the same time, they also prayed for good weather, good harvest and family safety in the coming year.

After setting up the tribute, Father Ning and Uncle Ning began to worship their ancestors as elders, while the children of the younger generation asked Ning Yuji to light an incense stick for each of them, line up, kneel and kowtow, and commemorate the ancestors. or prayer wishes.After everyone finished bowing, Father Ning and Uncle Ning filled the grave with incense, inserted the grave marker, and lit firecrackers, which indicated that the coming year would be better.At this point, the Ning family's grave visit is over.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hui Niang and Second Aunt Ning who were at home took out the candy and candied fruit they bought at home, as well as the raisins they made at home and placed them on the table. It's their favorite, and when the children in the village come with the adults, it's better to give some.

However, as the saying goes, "sitting is worse than lying down, and dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings". After Ning Yuyao came back from worshiping and going to the grave, the dumplings cooked at home were white and fat like ingots, fragrant but not greasy.After eating the hot dumplings, Ning's father took the children out to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village. Ning Yuyao and Ning's father felt that there were people coming and going all morning. But seeing Ning Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan, they couldn't help pinching her little face, and it didn't take long for her little face to turn red.And as soon as he saw his aunt and aunt, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candies and stuffed them into his pocket.Looking at this trend, Ning Yuyao felt that there might not be many places to visit, and all pockets must be filled.

In the afternoon, the New Year's greetings were almost over, a group of gentlemen gathered for a drink, and the women sat on the stools and started chatting again.The little children in the village carried pockets full of snacks and firecrackers bought by their parents, running around the village, meeting chicken fried chicken, meeting dog fried dog, flying like dogs wherever they went.But on this day, no matter how naughty they are, they will not be scolded.

And because the first day of the first lunar month is the broom's birthday, you can't use the broom on this day, otherwise you will sweep away luck, lose money, and attract the "broom star", which will lead to bad luck.If it is necessary to sweep the floor, it must be swept from the outside to the inside.And on this day, you can't pour water outside to take out the garbage, for fear of losing your money, so the Ning's house is considered to be a rare mess.

It wasn't until evening that Second Uncle Ning returned to the town with the people from the second bedroom. After a lively day, Father Ning and Hui Niang were lying on the bed, discussing about Hui Niang's return home tomorrow.The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when a married daughter returns to her natal home with her husband and children.So I plan to go to the town tomorrow to buy some new year gifts for the past.

"My lady, thank you." Father Ning's eyes seemed to be filled with spring sunshine, warm and charming, "I can marry you as my wife in this life, and I am willing to die."

Hui Niang quickly stopped Father Ning's mouth and said: "You stupid man, why are you saying such things when you are a Chinese New Year, my Wenhui's happiness is to be with you in this life."

After finishing speaking, the red bed curtains overflowed with thick sweetness, the night is still deep, and there are still many words between lovers.

The next day, Hui Niang got up before dawn, and was busy packing things to bring back to her mother's house, such as wine, bacon, smoked fish, sugar, etc., and packed two full baskets.After breakfast, adults and children packed up neatly and put the big and small bags of gifts on the carriage, but they had to go to the town for a taxi before going to Wenjia Village.

It's the end of the year, and the market in Yun Town is very lively. There are rows and rows of small vendors' stalls on both sides of the street, selling dry goods, pastries and snacks, firecrackers, candied haws and sugar figurines. There are a wide variety of commodities.

Walking around along the way, Father Ning took them to buy some pastries and candies. When passing by a small stall selling sugar, Father Ning thoughtfully wanted to buy them for Ning Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan alone. A sugar man.

The old man who sold the sugar saw Father Ning walking towards his stall with his family, so he raised a warm smile and asked, "Is Xiao Lang going to buy sugar for the child?"

"Well, uncle, here are two sugar sellers with a surplus every year." Father Ning took out money from his pocket and handed it to the old sugar seller.

When Ning Yuyao approached, she saw that the old sugar seller had put a lot of beautiful sugar figures on the shelves, and the luster of sugar added was very gratifying.

Ning Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan took the beautiful sugar figurine from Ning's father, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Daddy, you are the best." The small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and it was as if it didn't need money. speak out.

After purchasing the needed New Year’s goods for Wen’s family, it was still early, Hui Niang looked at Ning Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan who still didn’t want to leave, and said to Ning’s father, “Why don’t we go to Jinxiufang for a while? , and since it’s the New Year’s Eve, we’ll take a few new clothes from Jinxiufang and give them to our parents, brothers, brothers, nephews, and the whole family to celebrate.”

Everyone thought this idea was very good, especially Ning Yuyao who was clamoring that she would choose the most beautiful clothes for her grandparents herself. When she walked to the door of a Jinxiufang shop, Ning Xian saw Father Ning and the others coming in, so she hurriedly He warmly greeted him and said: "Please come to my host." He also asked the waiter to make a pot of hot tea.
