Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

The uncles took calamus and wrapped it in Sanhe mud, and were ramming the earth wall along the dug foundation trench little by little!

Huang's mooing and the children's laughter came from the backyard, and the whole yard was full of life!

Mother Hesheng was also in the courtyard helping to wash the borrowed dishes and chopsticks. When she saw Liu Yu's family coming, she hurriedly took the lees and said that she was going home to make the porridge first!

When Liu Meixiang heard about it, she hurriedly scooped out two ladles of noodles, called Liu Yunxiang to join them, carried a large porcelain basin to bake the noodles, and followed Hesheng's mother to her house!

The staple food at lunch is still steamed buns, and the porridge is rice glutinous rice porridge, but these two are indispensable.

Liu Yunxiang was in charge of steaming the steamed buns. After Liu Meixiang carried the basin to Hesheng's house, he came back in a hurry.

It was getting late now, Liu Meixiang worked very quickly, and Liu Yu and Nian were there to support her.

The chickens and fish I bought from the village in the morning have been killed and put away, I have soaked the dried mushrooms and fungus, and washed and drained all the vegetables!

The rest is to deal with the meat and vegetables Liu Yu brought back.

Soon, the meat was cut and washed, what should be boiled, cut and fried. In more than half an hour, the preliminary preparations were completed.

The next step is the side dishes. The cold dishes are prepared in advance. After the four plates are put away, they are placed on the table in the courtyard!

The six cold dishes were quickly put away, and the next step was the hot dishes. There is no need to rush the hot dishes, you just need to cut out the various vegetables in advance, and then stir-fry what needs to be cooked, boil what needs to be cooked, and cook what needs to be grilled!

These hot dishes have to wait for the guests to be served, and then they eat the cold dishes first, and then they are cooked out of the pot one after another!

The men working not far away looked at the mats on the table in the courtyard and smelled the faint aroma of meat from the kitchen. They felt hungry, but their men moved faster and faster!

At about noon, Liu Fusheng came back from his new house and hurriedly asked people to deliver firecrackers. All the tiles had been laid. It was just the right time to set off the firecrackers to welcome good luck!

Liu Yu hurriedly got the firecrackers and poured the nougat she bought into the steamed buns in a small basket. Nian took out sixty-six copper coins with red threads from the house.

Pour it into a finger-sized bun filled with rouge!

Three new houses were built, neat and tidy mud houses, covered with blue tiles, and the inner and outer walls were finely plastered with yellow mud.

Especially on the outer wall, on the top four feet high, there are wheat straws hanging neatly, one end tightly glued to the wall with yellow clay, just like a series of wheat straw curtains hanging on the house!

"Hey! Mei Xiang's father is really attentive. If the wheat straw is so mushy, no matter how heavy the rain is, the rainwater will flow out along the wheat straw and won't be able to soak into the mud!"

"This is too troublesome. It takes a lot of time to sort out all these wheat straws! When my family was building a new house, it was so hard that I was exhausted!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, unless we build a brick house. If we don't pay more attention to the mud house, it will be exposed to wind and rain, but no brick house will be exposed to wind and rain!"

"…………"

Xu Liang stood on the eaves of the roof, holding the bamboo pole with firecrackers hanging on it, looking even happier than Liu Maolin holding the stove basket beside him!

"Meixiang's father, when you sprinkle Liang Mo, sprinkle two more handfuls on our place!"

"Why, sprinkle more on your place, Mei Xiang's father, sprinkle a few more on our place, your granddaughter is in my hands!"

"Hey, Goudan, come here quickly. This is the eldest grandson of the Liu family. Whoever has Goudan is as valuable as him? If you want to sprinkle more Goudan, just sprinkle it at our place!"

"........."

While the women and husbands were watching the fun, they couldn't help but bicker back and forth. Liu Fusheng saw that their talk was becoming more and more unseemly, so he glanced at the sun and hurriedly called out "auspicious time."

After Liu Yu heard this, he went to light firecrackers.

After the gun twister hissed, the firecrackers suddenly crackled and exploded!

Liu Maolin's usually solemn face also broke out into a smile. He reached out and grabbed a large handful of steamed buns, and scattered them into the crowd with a wave of his hand.

Handfuls of steamed buns mixed with nougat and red copper coins fell to everyone. Women, husbands, children, brothers and men all reached out to catch them. If they couldn't catch them, they rushed to pick them up!

"Grandpa, I'm here!"

"Grandpa, give me some!"

"Hey, these little guys are so quick!"

"........."

The sound of people mixed with the sound of firecrackers, it was so lively!

Liu Yu stood at the outermost edge, smiling very happily as she watched the villagers scramble for Liang Mo copper coins!

Another handful of steamed buns were sprinkled over. Liu Yu looked at the steamed buns and candies that were scattered towards her. She screamed and saw everyone running towards her, so she hurried to catch them!

It's so hard to catch a Liang Mo with red spots!

After the firecrackers were set off, the buns were also scattered. Everyone grabbed a few buns in their hands, but the copper coins depended on their eyesight and luck.

Some people didn't get any, while others had two or three.

No matter how much it is, everyone looks equally happy on their faces. No one is short of a mouthful of steamed buns. It’s just for good intentions!

In the old house, the banquet is already open.

The clan chief and village chief sat at the main table with Liu Fusheng and some elders of the clan!

The rest of the helpers who were working, the kind and friendly members of their own clan, were sitting in the other three seats in the open air!

Several families in Liweizi also came to sit down for a meal, but Widow Zhou didn't come. She only sent Tietou to accompany Mr. Huang and Xu Hong!

Li Dongsheng is considered half a son-in-law who has passed Minglu. Now, along with Liu Yan and others, he carries a tray and walks between the tables to help serve the food!

On the banquet with six vegetarian and six meat dishes, the eaters kept using their chopsticks, and the steamed buns were picked up from basket after basket. When everyone was full, a bowl of sweet and smooth porridge would be complete!

After everyone left the banquet, they all gave gifts, ranging from eight cents to ten cents. The village chief took a brand new book of favors from Liu Fusheng, dipped it in ink, and began to keep accounts!

The older elders sat for a while, looked at the one or two feet of rammed earth wall, and then left.

The helpers didn't even take a break, and got back to work on the mud wall!

All the guests at the banquet and the helpers at work had finished eating, but the entire Liu family, including Li Dongsheng and Aunt Hesheng, were still complaining about the empty city plan!

Liu Meixiang took out the reserved ingredients, took out a large bowl of various meats and vegetables, and slowly cooked them together in a pot to make today's lunch!

The soup tastes the same when cooked in a big pot, and no one dislikes it if the steamed buns are left in!

After dinner, Hesheng's mother helped clear the dishes together. Li Dongsheng drank another bowl of sweet gluten porridge, washed his face, and then went to wrap up the mud together!

Hesheng's mother looked at Li Dongsheng's height, long legs, and straight appearance with broad shoulders and back. She also saw that he was capable and had a bright eye, and she felt a little regretful in her heart, and there was also a look of regret on her face!

Mr. Nian looked on and saw clearly, but he could only remain ignorant!

It's easy to work when there are many people, and with people like No. 20 in my family working hard, when it was getting dark, a circle of seven-foot-high loess was completed!
