Chapter 85 Prayers
Later, because of Wu Xiang's gag, the three teenagers got together and chatted together, but Gu Qingya sat by herself and cracked a lot of melon seeds, and the Wu family didn't know whether they bought or made the roasted seeds and nuts by themselves. It really tastes special, but it's a pity that the tongue hurts after eating too much.

Although she didn't talk too much with Jiang Rong'an, after all, Gu Qingya thought of a way to repay favors, without involving money and connections, and it also brought the relationship closer. For people of their class, it is really great It couldn't be better.

After the first day of junior high school, there are fewer and fewer children in the village who are still playing outside. The older ones have to help share the family affairs. Because last year was a leap year, this year passed relatively late, and the weather is not as cold as before. It was raining twice, but the amount of rain was much less than before.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is a big day for Tailai Village of Darong Village and several small villages around. Many naturally formed stones look very much like immortals sitting cross-legged, plus the beautified legends, which are very valued by the villagers.

This kind of praying activity requires middle-aged men. Each village has a number of distribution, including unmarried and married. Every year, many people will fight for their heads, just for one position.

Yan's father was never on the list because of his health. He couldn't say that he didn't regret it. He only hoped that his son would grow up early so that he could be on the list.

Gu Qingya also got up early, took her younger siblings to the entrance of the village, and saw that the selected people were all dressed in simple clothes, from the beginning to the end, the importance could be seen from the things they held in their hands.

The ones walking in the front are carrying two large canopy umbrellas, then four teenagers carrying four triangular flags, followed by the gong, drum and suona team, and then sixteen married young and middle-aged people carrying sedan chairs. There are long rectangular flags about three meters high, and each flag is embroidered with various exquisite patterns, which shows that the villagers attach importance to this day.

As soon as the firecrackers that opened the way were fired, everyone shouted angrily, then set off, joined the team from Darong Village, and went up the mountain to pray.After going down the mountain, it is necessary to take turns to visit each village.

And the people in these teams eat at the sunba in front of the big houses that are almost connected together in the village for lunch.The cost is shared equally by the villagers. Of course, it would be best if there is a landlord like Master Wu who covers all the expenses.

Granny Lu's family is good at cooking, and she has to cook every year. This year, Granny Lu's son and daughter-in-law were all invited away by Master Wu's house, so Granny Lu had to go to the battle herself, and she can also speak to the helpers. Gu Shi and Gu Qingya They have all gone, but many people are envious. You must know that these helpers can not only have delicious food, but also be happy, which is what the women are rushing for.

Gu Qingya got a relatively easy job and was in charge of lighting the fire. Fortunately, she was quite experienced, and with the guidance of Granny Lu, she was able to manage four or five stoves. There is no need for such things as heat.

After receiving some complaining eyes from a few aunts and aunts, Gu Qingya stopped looking around and concentrated on watching Granny Lu's movements, secretly surprised, some people are so powerful, they seem to be so casual and without any rules, they do it what is better than others.

Granny Lu noticed Gu Qingya's eyes and couldn't help smiling at her, "What's the matter, but you want to learn how to cook like me?"

"I'm thinking about it too, Grandma Lu, do you think I have this talent?" Gu Qingya was still a little moved in her heart, although working in the kitchen was covered with oily fumes, it was no worse than spinning silkworms like spinning silk.

Granny Lu was not joking, "Well, let me ask you a question. I just put seasoning in the pot three times, but did you notice the difference?"

Gu Qingya thought for a while, her eyes were confused, in her opinion, it's just adding ingredients to the pot, what's the difference? "Mother-in-law, it seems that Qingya doesn't have a day's share." The person who is in charge of cooking has free good food to eat!
"I think you should be very good at reeling silk, so don't be discouraged. You don't look very good at holding a ladle. You have learned your mother's skills very well." Granny Lu felt that each trade has its own advantages and disadvantages, so choose the right one. That's it.

Gu Qingya smiled embarrassedly, "I'm following my mother's example, so it should be fine."

"You haven't started working to reel silk for others. My little granddaughter pesters me all day long to learn how to reel silk. If you don't want her to come with you, you can remind me. This girl is uneasy, so I won't give you Nyonya. I'm in trouble." When Granny Lu mentioned her granddaughter, her expression softened a lot.

Gu Qingya remembered that day at Granny Lu's house, the girl who played with her was about the same age as her own sister, Earth grabbed her and asked her a lot about silk reeling, she looked like a very well-behaved girl, "Of course it will be done , I’m afraid I have nothing to teach.”

"Don't underestimate yourself. It's done. Fire up that small stove. I'll cook two dishes and let's eat by ourselves." Granny Lu commanded, open the small stove blatantly. The wages given by the village are just for fun. It's an old rule of thumb.

Someone notified the group of people when they would arrive, and as soon as the food was steaming on the table, a large group of people rushed over with bowls of rice and ladle soup. The food for the day was enough, and it was Grandma Lu who was cooking again. Everyone feels great.

After everyone had left, the helpers cleaned up and gathered two tables for dinner, but on Granny Lu's side, there were only Gu Qingya and Gu Shi, and the others could fear Granny Lu's cold face and dare not move. .

Granny Lu told Gu Shi again about her little granddaughter, and Gu Shi even said that it didn't matter, so that Granny Lu could send her little granddaughter to her side, and she would teach it herself.For Granny Lu, Gu Shi was very grateful. If Qi Po's contract hadn't been made by her, it might not be so easy to get it.

But Granny Lu only stared at her twice, Gu agreed to be taken by the eldest daughter, and decided in her heart that she must be taught well.

There are basically no materials left in the kitchen, and the leftover meals are brought back by the helpers. This is also one of the benefits. Because of the relationship between Granny Lu, the mother and daughter of the Gu family are relatively clean. Although they are mixed into a big bowl, they can They are still very happy to let the family have a taste of Grandma Lu's handicraft.

After returning, Gu Qingya told Fang Shi about this matter, Fang Shi was naturally happy and gave some instructions.The parade is mainly in the afternoon. Fortunately, it didn’t rain. Taihe Village is behind Darong Village. The sacrifices to be used today have been prepared, and when the time comes, they will be picked and placed on the eight immortals table in the open space in the center of the village. .

At this time, as long as the people in the village can move, they all crowded here to meet the team and wait for the master to do the deeds. Men, women, old and children were all chanting words and worshiping non-stop, very pious.

Gu Qingya is no exception, what she thinks in her heart is very simple, that is, the weather in the coming year and the safety and health of her family are more important than making a fortune.
