After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy
Chapter 68: Beam, Please Dinner
As the singing of rituals and the sound of firecrackers rang out, the adults shouted slogans and lifted the thickest purlin and put it on the beam. After it was completely put in place, the person in charge of scattering things grabbed the things and scattered them.
Adults and children stared at the coins and candies that fell to the ground and started to scramble for them. The host would have no problem with scrambling for them. The more people came to scramble, the better, as it represented the prosperity of the host family, success in everything, and the ability to make a fortune.
The people who grabbed things were proud of the more things they grabbed, which meant that their daily luck and wealth would be very good this year. Xia Ran also grabbed and got two coins and a piece of candy.
The candy finally went into Jingwazi's mouth. Jingwazi also grabbed several pieces of candy for herself. But for these kids, no matter how much candy they had, it was not enough to fill their little bellies.
After Xia Ran grabbed it, she hurried back to the kitchen to cook. According to the local customs, many people would come to the beam-raising dinner today, especially these children.
Before, when their father came to work, no matter how hungry they were, they could not come to the host's house to eat for free. Otherwise, the villagers would think that these children had no family education and no manners.
But the day of raising the beam is different, everyone can come to join in the fun and have a meal, which indicates excitement and festivity.
Xia Ran spent the whole afternoon steaming buns with Gui Niang yesterday. I forgot how many baskets we steamed, but the buns were almost piled up into a small mountain, and we were still worried that they wouldn't be enough to eat.
The flour we grind ourselves is almost gone, and we need to grind it again. The dish is still a big stew.
However, this time, we put in the pork sauce instead of the pork stew. This was a decision made after consulting with everyone.
For this purpose, Xia Ran specially went into the city, rode the tricycle back (released it), and crossed the open road. She also bought a hand-cranked blower that was light, labor-saving, and had a strong wind.
People nowadays love to eat fatty meat, the fatter the better.
A lot of fat slices were cut into slices, and together with vermicelli, they were seasoned red with old-fashioned soy sauce and poured into the stew in bowls.
This time, I added two more things to the stew: tofu and bean sprouts. The other side dishes remained the same. On average, you can get several large slices of meat in one bowl.
The adults and children were very satisfied with the food. Regardless of whether the adults in their family came to help or not, all the children who were strolling in the yard outside their homes were very happy.
Regardless of gender, or whether they were close or distant, Xia Ran entertained and entertained them all, just as if she was entertaining the "self" who had once been drooling over it but could never get it.
Seeing these familiar or unfamiliar little kids eating happily, the greedy, deprived, and inferior little girl in my memory seemed to be healing slowly, bit by bit.
Xia Ran said to himself, looking at his original self and his former self:
"Look, what you two never got and achieved before, your children have achieved for you. Does this count as a kind of happiness? Does this count as another kind of perfection?"
Xia Ran just thought that she had it now, so she entertained him without thinking too much. The subsequent result of this incident was that her reputation in the village took a 360-degree turn.
Now if anyone in the village says that Jianguo is cruel and vicious, and doesn't even recognize his parents-in-law, the women and old ladies in the village will drown him with spit.
People in this era all live simply and straightforwardly. Whoever treats his own children well is a great person. Sometimes, his own children are so dirty that even his own family members despise them.
But the country built by him didn't look down on me, and treated me like a little guest, entertaining me and feeding me well. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to be so generous.
If you put yourself in his shoes, you can't help but be impressed. And there are a few people who just opened their mouths and said, "She is so generous and willing to spend. It's Jianguo's money, but she doesn't feel sorry for spending it..."
"What's wrong? You want to spend the money your man earned from his life, but you haven't got it yet. Are you jealous? If you're so obsessed with other people's money, why don't you let your man die? I'm afraid that if your man dies, it will be in vain, and no one will compensate you. What a loser! You're jealous of even this, are you still a human being?"
Of course, Xia Ran didn't know about the ups and downs in the village, because she had been busy as hell in recent times.
After finishing the work of putting up the beams, Xia Ran called two laborers, got on the donkey cart, and went to the neighboring Qijia Village to grind some flour.
I bought 1 cents worth of candy for each of the two little laborers. The service was amazing and they were so diligent that I wished they could be my children.
In the morning, the three of them happily finished grinding flour. In the afternoon, Xia Ran and his friends went to the cornfield to weed. The grass was almost taller than a person.
The two young laborers couldn't stay in the field, so they went to the mountain to have a stroll. Apart from grazing on the grass in the field, Xia Ran felt uncomfortable all over.
I wanted to outsource the work and hire someone to do it, but after thinking about my image, I decided not to do it. Before I came back, I picked a basket of tender corn cobs and planned to take them home to cook and eat.
Many families simply cannot bear to make it this way. At this time of year, when the children at home are so greedy that they can't stand it anymore and cry, they will break off a few and cook them to taste.
The remaining corn must not be touched because it is now the staple food and many families rely on it for their livelihood.
On the way home, I saw the village's top-notch Li Dazui and his group from a distance. Li Dazui looked very smart, but he was not a good person.
She has a bad mouth, is mean and deserves to be scolded. She flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. She treats people with better conditions like a dog, licks them non-stop, and smiles like a pug.
To those whose families are poor, she is like a hungry wolf, eager to pounce on them and tear a piece of meat from them.
They also exaggerate and make up stories, and they love to show off. They just hope that other people's lives are worse than their own.
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen you since Jianguo passed away. How is it? How does it feel to be a new widow? Is it good?"
There was still some distance between them, but Li Dazui, who deserved a beating, opened his mouth and started spewing shit.
"If you want to know, just let your husband die, then you'll know. Or let your son die, that's fine too! What's the point of listening to others? Become a widow yourself, then you'll know everything."
Li Dazui was immediately furious. He had always been a bully in the village and everyone would hide away from him.
"Fuck you, is this human language?"
"Have you ever heard of this saying? The one who teases first is the slut. Oh, sorry, I forgot. You can't read. You can't even read a few words. No wonder you don't care about anything."
Illiteracy is Li Dazui's Achilles' heel, her inner demon. Xia Ran's words directly stabbed Li Dazui's heart, fast and fierce.
Li Dazui was so angry that he rushed over and tried to hit Xia Ran, but the people around her quickly stopped him. He was the one who built the country, so he couldn't afford to offend him now.
