As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the village, they looked at the happy little stones that were stomping.Before they greeted each other, Xiao Shitou looked at them and screamed, "Brother, Brother Ye, why did you come back! The old Zhao's family came here to ruin the relationship!"

Li Sen's face turned pale when he heard this, and the blood was instantly gone from his reddened face.

Looking at Li Sen who was frozen there, Xia Ye quickly jumped off the sledge, pulled Li Shitou over and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Li Sen was completely wilted. Xia Ye looked back and hurriedly pulled the small stone onto the sledge: "Come up the stone, let's go home quickly, brother Sen, let me catch up!"

As he spoke, he dragged Li Sen onto the sledge, and he sat in Li Sen's place.

Seeing that Shitou and Shitou were sitting firmly, Xia Ye flicked his horsewhip and returned to Li Liqiu's house within a few minutes.

"Shitou, you have settled the horse, Brother Sen and I will go and have a look first!" Xia Ye said and gave the rein to Shishi, and then dragged Li Sen into the house.

Then I heard a sharp woman's voice: "This mountain is gone, and we are also very sad! It was originally agreed to make an appointment before the year and get married after the next year, but once the mountain is gone, we have to wait for a year. My family can't wait. The fortune teller told me that this year is a good year for my family to marry. If it is delayed, it will harm the family. Now that Dashan is gone, let's forget about it for the good of the two families. !"

After the woman finished speaking, she saw Li Qiuniang just coughing over there, without saying a word, and immediately turned her face: "What's the matter? Your family is not going to depend on my daughter?! My eldest daughter is a good girl from all over the world, don't you?" If you dare to drag your family down, let's get together and get together. Besides, the engagement of the two families has not been confirmed, and the second has not been announced. My girl is not suitable for an honest guy like your son, so she kindly let me go Come on girl!"

Li Qiuniang over there has been in poor health since Li Dashan left, and she herself is not that kind of shrew.Listening to the woman's words, she coughed angrily, and the two daughters were beside her wiping away tears. The younger sister was not allowed to interfere in the elder brother's marriage. If it wasn't for the family's reputation, Li Lichun secretly gritted his teeth with hatred.

The dull Li Sen went to the door and listened attentively, his eyes were red all over, and he rushed to the woman: "Aunt Zhao, your daughter is too high for me, let's quit the marriage!"

Xia Ye was startled, the honest man's temper was uncontrollable, how could he be so reckless!

Lady Li Qiu heard it and hurriedly shouted beside her: "Senzi!!"

Li Sen squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, without saying a word, and knocked his head off from time to time.

That Mrs. Zhao was very proud when she saw that the Lord agreed to withdraw the marriage, "Well, don't mention the engagement with my family in the future, and don't ruin the reputation of my daughter!" She twisted her waist and was about to leave Li's house.

"Wait!" Xia Ye called to Aunt Zhao.

"What about the gift money for the engagement at that time? Since the marriage was withdrawn, the gift money will be returned. Are you trying to rely on the family? Are you cheating money with your daughter?" Xia Ye asked, he remembered that Li Dashan had told him before leaving I gave 50 yuan as a deposit, and the girl on the other side is beautiful, so it's a pity to match his family's idiot.But seeing the divorce, Li Sen and the others didn't think about asking for a deposit, so Xia Ye could only stand up.

Aunt Zhao was stunned: "Bah! Who cheated money! Here you are!" Aunt Zhao took out the 50 yuan she had prepared and took it back to the table in the main room. come out.

"I've given you the money, don't be fooled around! Ruin the reputation of the girl's family!" Thinking of the 200 yuan gift money given by the deputy mayor's family in the town, Aunt Zhao felt as if she had grown hair, and hurriedly took advantage of the news of the engagement. It's too early to pass it on, luckily Li Dashan's accident didn't spread it, otherwise my daughter wouldn't be able to be a city resident.Aunt Zhao twisted and twisted out of Li's house while thinking.

Li Qiuniang broke down in tears, "Senzi, this is the kiss your father made for you when he was still alive, how could you give it back!?"

Li Sen just patted his head harder, without saying a word, Xia Ye grabbed Li Sen's self-torture behavior, and said to Li Qiuniang: "Auntie, just retreat! I, brother Senzi, is such a good guy. No one will appreciate it! The sister-in-law I marry will be even better!"

"Cough cough..." Li Qiuniang was helpless, clutching her chest and coughing a few times, since Li Dashan left, someone stepped on their house because of her eyebrows, but luckily she didn't make an engagement for Li Chun.

Seeing Li Qiuniang's appearance, Xia Ye looked worried, and hurriedly asked: "Auntie, why is the cough so severe, do you still have the medicine and cough syrup? Do you want to go to the county hospital?"

Li Qiuniang coughed and waved her hands, while Li Liqiu patted Li Qiuniang on the back while replying: "I'm all drinking! It's not that I'm being pissed off, I think my mother is on fire again!"

Xia Ye nodded, looked at Li Sen, then knelt down and patted Li Sen on the shoulder: "Brother Sen, if you want to open up, we can make more money for the family! We are still young!"

Over there, Li Liqiu looked at Xia Ye who was squatting on the ground, her eyes flickered, and a trace of melancholy flashed by.

After Li Sen's marriage was dismissed, he was very silent and depressed for a while.Li Qiuniang was even weaker due to illness, but fortunately it was a holiday, the children could help out, the housework was also done by Sister Lichun, Xiao Shitou became more and more sensible.

In the middle of winter and the end of the new year is approaching, Xia Ye and Li Sen went to the county town to deliver the last mountain goods before returning to the village. They bought candy, canned food, and pork at the county department store, and secretly bought big flowers for Xiaobai. Safflower is sent to the space, and Xiao Baile's straight tap dance!

In the middle, I stopped by the town to pick up the packages of the three educated youths.Because they have just arrived in the village for less than a year, and none of the educated youths have family leave, if the family members are still thinking about it, they will send some things over, and the family members of the three daughters are thinking about them, so they send a lot of things, and feel sorry for their parents. The third daughter also asked Xia Ye to send some dried wild animals over.

Xia Ye entered the room with eyelashes covered with frost, the thick woolen wool on her feet was hardened, and the snow on the outside of the thick fur coat covered the coat thickly. Mother Xia held a feather duster on the door curtain After playing it, he kept saying in his mouth: "It's snowing heavily, and the mountain roads are closed, why go to the county in such a hurry."

Xia Ye rubbed her frozen face with her hands, a trace of blush hung on her cheeks, and said in her mouth: "Our two families don't post Spring Festival couplets because of funerals, but the New Year must be happy. There is some cornmeal left, and there is not much white flour left, so I have to get some white flour. I went to the noodle shop in the town to buy some fine grains, which can be used to make dumplings! And I can’t eat the wild animals I set a while ago, so I replaced them with other grains Things are better than keeping them in your hands, and there is not much oil left, so I have to prepare some! But in a hurry, some sea fish were shipped from the south, and I bought some frozen pears! I put them outside the door What! Send it to the house later!"

This time, Xia Ye went to the processing workshop in the town to beat [-] catties of white flour, Liqiu's family and her own family each had [-] catties, and it was a bit late to grind grain in the village.As for the handmade mill, it is close to the central area of ​​the village, and no one can avoid people who use it.When going to Fudi to cover the mountains with heavy snow, Mother Xia was always worried that Xia Ye would go by herself, so she had to move the wheat stored in the cellar of her house to the town to grind some, and if she had some space to save, she would be able to cope with a good year. .

This day came to Laba, and Mother Xia tossed the kitchen vigorously, took out some of all the grains and made them into Laba porridge, and put the brown sugar that Xia Ye took out when eating.At this time, brown sugar is a rare commodity. If someone visits relatives, a few taels are special noodles.Apparently there is no shortage of summer nights, so he even took out five catties directly for the family. In fact, there are quite a lot of fruits such as apples and watermelons in the storage room, but in this out of season, even if there is no one at home, he dare not make it public After all, how many female educated youths are still there!When things go wrong, there must be a demon, and he controls everything to a level acceptable to the world.

The things sent by the families of the girls include wool and various money tickets!Except for some urgently needed spares, the girls almost gave them to Xia Ye who was able to go out!So for the white flour and other fine grains at home, I only think that I bought them with money. As for the quantity, the few girls who don't cook are all what Xia's mother took out, and they don't care.

After Laba, the New Year is not far away, so from time to time in the village, children who are sliding sledges on the water bubbles will sing nursery rhymes: "Children, don't be greedy, you will celebrate the New Year after Laba; drink Laba porridge for a few days. , lili la la 23. 23, Tanggua sticky, sent the stove king to the sky; 24, cleaned the house; 25, frozen tofu; 26, went to buy meat; 27, slaughtered a rooster; 28, made noodles; 29, Steam the buns; when you reach thirty, you'll be the door god!"

This is the first year that Xia Ye came to this time and space, and she tried her best to enrich her diet!The family has a share of everything that the Supply and Marketing Department has. Now the cooking oil has also been replaced with soybean oil and peanut oil in the space.Because Futian produced soybeans, Xia Ye and Li Sen pulled up the Xia family's big mill, ground the soybean milk, and put it in the kettle when it was cooked.For this summer night, each family bought three more thermos bottles, but it made the mothers of the two families feel distressed enough!In the past few days, I can drink some white soy milk every day and put some brown sugar in it. Even if I eat corn flour pancakes that make my throat a little louder, it tastes much better after soaking.

On the 25th, the two families made four boards of tofu together. One family had two boards, each with half frozen tofu and half white tofu. Because there was no shortage of oil, Xia's mother promised to fry the New Year's goods this year.

On the 28th, Xia Zao’s mother and Li’s mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen, frying four grass carp that Xia Ye bought from the buying and marketing agency, fried tofu balls (made with pork stuffing), rich The lotus root dug out of the ground and the coupler stuffed with meat, the small willow root fished out of the Fudi Lake and fried with noodles are golden and crispy, the thin wild boar slices are fried with egg white noodles into crispy meat, the meat hurts Xia's mother took out three catties of white flour and alum, and made deep-fried fried dough sticks. Sanzi, etc. are easy to store, enough for the two families to eat from the first to the fifth day of the new year. Shitou, who was helping to deliver firewood outside the house, sneaked a mouthful from time to time, and even though the others were not jumping like Li Shitou, they felt beaming.After they were all fried and cooled, some of them were hung in the baskets on the beams of the lower house, and some were put in the back baskets and covered tightly with cloth, and they were brought back by the mother and daughter of the Li family. The reason why they chose to fry them at Xia Ye’s house That is, because the neighbors are not connected, no one else in the village can smell the smell of oily smoke.I don't know how the yellow millet that Li Sen and his family kept at home can actually be tossed with sticky cornmeal to make double-curtain sticky bean buns. After steaming, they are placed outside the house to freeze. , holding an ax and chopping the bottom of these bean buns. The bean buns are covered with snow and then stuck to the ice, which is called honesty. Xia Ye and the two kept chopping, because the surface was covered with snow, I didn’t know it. Chopping goose eggs with an axe.On the [-]th, the family was happily preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and the road was blocked by heavy snow. People from outside could no longer come in, and people from the village couldn't get out either. Fish and meat had to be served if conditions permit.But the countryside is backed by mountains and rivers, and supplies are much more abundant than other places.And the Xia family now has chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and vegetables, which dazzled the daughters from the three cities. They had seen this food together even though they hadn't seen it in the cities in this year.There are also local specialties such as pork tenderloin and dried green tofu, all of which are so delicious made by Xia's mother. The mountain fruit wine that Xia Ye specially brought out made a few girls drink up wantonly.It is obvious that they are all drunk, and they are active one by one. They have to perform for Xia Mu, and the songs they sang are out of tune, but they are still very happy. Even Xia Mu was aroused and sang together .Until it was night, and the spirit of wine came up, Xia Ye carried a few girls and placed them on Xia Mu's kang, and put them on the kang in the opposite compartment without mentioning it.

On the first day of the new year, the clans in the north will have a big New Year greeting. At that time, the men in the clan who did not have a family would kowtow to the elders in the clan. kowtow.The first stop Xia Ye went to was the old Xia's house and grandparents' house that Xia's mother asked to go to. Even if the family was separated, they still had to fulfill their filial piety during traditional festivals, or they would drown people with spitting stars.Obviously Mother Xia would not allow her children to be personally attacked. On the 28th, as soon as the New Year's goods were fried, Xia Ye sent a hare and a bottle of Baigan as gifts for the year.So on the first day of the new year, even if you don't like this grandson, you may still be afraid of this grandson. Mrs. Xia didn't yell or scold him on this day. After all, bad luck lasts for a year.Xia Ye behaved well and kowtowed with several cousins, and they all got a red envelope. Xia Ye knew that he was the thinnest without looking.Then the three generations of the Xia family, under the guidance of uncle Xia and other brothers, went to pay New Year's greetings to their elders.First went to the clan elder Xia San, kowtowed his head, and then waited for the members of the Xia family to gather here, and then the family said auspicious words for New Year greetings according to their seniority.At this time, women are not allowed to go and can only wait at home.It is said that this rule was passed down from the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. It is said that at the time when they entered the Guandong, most of the villagers in Shandong and Henan who could not survive, brought the customs over, and no one bothered to entangle them.When the younger children come down, they put some fried soybeans and some candies in their pockets. When they get home, they will share them with their older brothers and sisters. If the weather is better this day, they will make some dumplings, maybe Cabbage with more meat and less meat, or cabbage stuffed with oil, this is good.Those who are not good will also take some cabbage and make dumplings with dried tofu and tofu, or take advantage of the whole year to have a dry meal.

The food for a year is only a few days during the Chinese New Year. Even if there is any leftover, I will save it for the next meal and add some cornmeal to cook.

The three daughters also brought some gifts to visit the village secretary and other cadres, as well as famous families. Xia Ye was very moved when she saw it.
