Hello 1983

  Chapter 158 February 2, the dragon raises its head

   On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head.

  The dragon here refers to the Eastern Azure Dragon Constellation.

  The so-called dragon raising its head refers to the "Spia" star representing the dragon's horn in the Qinglong constellation, which began to appear on the eastern horizon.

   is emerging, so it is called dragon rising.

  Because it is related to farming, February 2nd is a very important festival in rural areas.

  From this day onwards, the yang energy rises, the rainfall increases, everything gradually returns to life, and spring plowing will begin soon.

  For this kind of festival, Liu Qingshan will of course invite Master to come down the mountain to celebrate the festival at his home. This is the duty of an apprentice.

  Of course, the dumb grandfather readily agreed, and the master and apprentice walked through the forest one after the other.

   Awow, there was a cry from behind, it was the little black bear, catching up quickly.

  Liu Qingshan reckoned: This guy must know that there are delicious food for the holiday today.

   I can’t help it, let’s lead it, if you really want to count, Xiao Hei is still Liu Qingshan’s junior, so I can’t miss it.

  The key is that when Xiao Hei goes to his house, the fourth and fifth children are the happiest.

  While walking, I suddenly heard a loud roar from the woods, accompanied by a thumping sound, a **** bear appeared in front.

  Xiao Hei immediately faltered, hid behind Liu Qingshan, and hugged his thigh tightly.

  Liu Qingshan took a closer look, it seemed that he was the **** and blind man who met him last time.

   It's not that this guy has any special marks, but the main thing is that he looked at him with eager eyes, like a very hungry diner seeing a chef with a big spoon.

   But this time, the **** bear did not rush forward in a hurry, but stood in place, swaying.

  Liu Qingshan understood a little bit, it must be because of Master's presence.

   I don’t feel annoyed in my heart: coauthoring you, a big stupid bear, can also watch people order dishes, right?

  I saw the dumb grandpa waving his arm, and the **** bear burrowed into the woods, looking reluctant.

   This time, Liu Qingshan was so envious: I don't know when I will be able to be like Master, and when I wave my hands, I will be shunned.

  Back home, the whole family was making dumplings together. Seeing Xiao Hei, the fourth and fifth children who had been busy in front of the panel, immediately smiled and went to the courtyard to play with Xiao Hei.

   Liu Qingshan saw a circle of people around the panel, so he simply went to the outhouse to boil water.

  When the dumplings came out of the pan, Liu Qingshan put the lace ones on a separate plate.

   This is wrapped for the eldest sister alone, and the oil and salt are relatively light.

   Originally, according to mother Lin Zhi's wishes, she would eat confinement meals during confinement, but every meal of millet porridge and eggs made Liu Jinfeng almost tired of eating.

  Liu Qingshan said that she can eat some other food appropriately, as long as it is not heavy oil and salt, so she wrapped some vegetarian stuffing for her separately.

  Just as he was about to start eating, the small fire lying on the kang began to babble. This child was quite trouble-free, rarely cried, and would babble there when he was hungry.

   "Let's eat dumplings, the little guy is hungry too."

  Grandma said cheerfully, and Liu Jinfeng hurried to nurse the child first.

  When Xiao Huo was full, he was hugged by Lin Zhi, and he gently stroked his back. After the milk flowed down, he would put him on the kang to lie down.

  At this time, the dumb grandpa came up to Xiao Huo, took out something from his pocket, and waved it in front of the little guy.

  Just one week after birth, his eyes are still not working well. Seeing that the little guy didn't respond, the dumb grandfather stuffed things under the pillow with a smile.

  Liu Qingshan noticed that that thing was also a jade pendant, it seems that the master is engaged in wholesale.

  Everyone just started to eat, Liu Jinfeng stuffed a dumpling into his mouth, and even called "Hao Xiang", everyone couldn't help laughing.

   Waiting for her plate of dumplings to be eaten, she still looked pitifully at the other plates on the table.

  Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, you're already a mother, and you're still so worthless, you have enough milk, you need to control your diet."

   I don't know if it's because of my own physical condition, or because I took wood frog oil a few days ago, Liu Jinfeng's milk is very sufficient.

  Xiaohuo is too small now, and his food intake is limited, which makes Liu Jinfeng very depressed.

  When other people give birth to a baby, they are worried about not having enough milk. When it comes to her, they have to worry about having too much milk.

   This is really annoying, the swelling is uncomfortable, and you have to pay attention to emptying, otherwise, it is easy to cause inflammation.

  At night, I asked Gao Wenxue to help me inhale twice.

  But they live in the same house, and there is a little spy like the fourth child, which makes both of them feel embarrassed.

  Because today happened to be Sunday, and the school was on holiday, the fourth and fifth children put down their chopsticks and were about to go out to play with Xiao Hei, and the dumplings were cold, so it was time to feed him.

  In the end, the two little guys were stopped by Lin Zhi: "Don't go crazy outside, help your elder sister."

"OK!"

  Xiao Lao Si readily agreed, while Shan Xing had already walked to Liu Jinfeng's side.

  I just heard Lin Zhi continue to say: "You two, help your elder sister to eat some milk, otherwise, your sister will be very bloated."

"what?"

   This time it was the fourth and fifth's turn to be dumbfounded.

  The fourth child stretched out his little hand in surprise and pointed to his mouth: "Mom, how old am I, and still breastfeeding?"

  In rural areas, there are also some children who are weaned relatively late and eat until they are three or four years old.

   There are also those who are more pampered, who have never had younger siblings under them, and who eat until they are seven or eight years old, occasionally.

  Liu Qingshan remembers that when he was in elementary school for the first year, there was a child named Li Damin in his class. During class, he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I want to go home."

  Of course the teacher will ask: "What are you doing at home?"

  Damin Elementary School classmate said confidently: "I'm hungry, go home and find my mother for breastfeeding."

  At that time, the teacher and classmates were completely fooled. It took a long time for the students to burst into laughter, and even the teacher laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

  But ordinary children, when they are six or seven years old, know how to be shy, the fourth and fifth are like this.

  Lin Zhi had to patiently enlighten the two of them: "You help your eldest sister, if you always go out and squeeze, you will be easily hurt."

  As soon as they heard what their mother said, the two little girls stopped objecting.

  Shan Xing blushed, hesitated for a while before saying: "But Er Niang, I forgot how to breastfeed."

  The fourth child also nodded vigorously, indicating that she also forgot. She was too young to remember things when she was breastfeeding, and it was all based on instinct.

   Everyone held back and didn't dare to laugh, for fear that the two little girls would be embarrassed to laugh, so what if they didn't eat?

   It was Liu Jinfeng who took the two of them and explained the essentials.

  When Xiao Huo was breastfeeding, she, as a mother, of course watched carefully, and happened to be teaching experience to Xiao Huo's two aunts.

  When the fourth and fifth understood, they blushed and leaned into the arms of the elder sister. Liu Jinfeng turned his back on his back, and the two little guys cuddled up to her arms and started to eat.

   Don’t even talk about it, it **** so loudly.

   As a result, at this moment, there was a light click.

  The voice was so familiar, the little fourth raised his face quickly:

   "Brother, you can take a photo of this too, no, no, but don't wash it out, it's embarrassing!"

  Shan Xing also looked at Liu Qingshan with a flushed face, and there was a bit of resentment in her small eyes.

  Liu Qingshan ignored the protests of the two of them, laughed loudly, ran out the door with the camera on his shoulder.

   "Sifeng, Wufeng, keep eating."

  The eldest sister patted their little heads lightly, and the fourth and fifth children could only accept their fate.

   This photo, Liu Qingshan will definitely have to be washed out. Although the eldest sister is from the back, it is too commemorative.

   After waiting more than ten years, looking at this photo again, I guess my heart is full of nostalgia, right?

  In the courtyard, Grandpa and Master were burning a pig's head and a pair of pig's paws.

  February 2nd, in addition to the custom of shaving one's head, one also eats pig's head.

  In their place, according to custom, it is not allowed to shave their heads during the first month.

  According to superstition: Uncle shaves his head and dies in the first month.

  Therefore, some elderly people who are getting older will call a few nephews to their homes as soon as the new year is approaching. They will have a delicious meal and entertain them.

  As for the custom of gnawing pig heads, it is estimated that it has something to do with the sacrifice on February 2.

  February 2nd, used to be one of the Spring Society Days, to worship the God of the Earth and pray for a year of good weather and a good harvest.

   Sacrificial sacrifices are of course used, and pig heads are the most common.

  After the sacrifice, the tribute is of course digested by humans, and gradually the custom of gnawing pig heads on February 2nd evolved.

  The weather is also much warmer, so I started to cook the pig's head in the cauldron of the courtyard.

  Because when the pigs were slaughtered years ago, every household divided the pig heads, and some of them were reserved for eating at this time.

  So in Jiapigou, most of the households are burning pig’s head, and the aroma permeates the village.

  After the pig's head was ready in the afternoon, Liu Qingshan cut up a piece of pig's head and sent it to Zhang Ganzi's house.

  Other families are passing their days, so even if the pig's head was blanched during the Chinese New Year, they will save a piece to eat on February 2.

  There is only an old bachelor like Zhang Ganzi, and he doesn't have a plan, so he probably ate it up long ago.

   Entering Zhang Ganzi's house, Liu Qingshan thought he had gone to the wrong house. The house that turned out to be like a pig's nest was now cleaned up.

  On the wall are freshly pasted newspapers during the Chinese New Year, and there are several New Year pictures pasted on the south kang and the north kang, all of them are big fat boys.

   Presumably, this is Zhang Ganzi's greatest desire, right?

  Zhang Ganzi was sitting alone at the dining table, eating with a small wine cup.

   In front of him were two scallions, a small bowl of miso sauce, Zhang pole held the scallions, poked them in the sauce bowl, then bit off a piece, took a sip of wine, and made a sizzling sound in his mouth.

   "Uncle Ganzi, I just cut up the pork head and served it with wine. It's still warm."

  Liu Qingshan put the meat on the table, looked at it with the pole, immediately smiled and thanked repeatedly.

   And also told Liu Qingshan a piece of good news: "After the first month, Cuihua's natal family is planning to get married. I'm thinking about getting this done as soon as possible. When Chun Geng is busy, I won't have much time to do."

   "Uncle Ganzi, what a great event. Tomorrow, we will gather everyone together to discuss and discuss. We must make the happy event lively!"

   Liu Qingshan was also happy for Zhang Ganzi: The old bachelor is finally getting a wife!

   Zhang Ganzi also got excited. He chopped up the pig's head a few times, then put a large piece into his mouth, and said while chewing:

   "On February 2nd, when the dragon raised his head and ate a mouthful of pork head, I raised my head too."

   Taking another sip of wine, he continued with a smile on his face:

   "Qingshan, I don't even dare to think that I can marry a wife in this life."

   "Hey, Qingshan, let me tell you, I have already touched it. Cuihua's **** are bulging, which is really unexpected. When I think about it, I also keep lifting the faucet below..."

   As he was talking, he realized that Liu Qingshan had long since disappeared.

  Zhang Ganzi couldn't help but chuckled: "Qingshan, you little kid."
