butcher's little man

Tian Xiaoman still couldn't figure it out, and then he gave up. Anyway, as they said, he will know when the time comes!

Before his second uncle and the others were brought in, Tian Xiaoman sneaked out. He was a little hungry, so he went out to find something to eat.

In fact, Uncle Shen and the others set up plates outside, but there were a lot of people coming and going, and there was nothing left to eat.

Tian Xiaoman looked outside, and several uncles were surrounding Li Wenxuan to ask questions. Seeing his embarrassed face, Tian Xiaoman smiled without sympathy, that's how the new brother-in-law came to the door!

He turned around and slipped into the backyard, and went to the kitchen. Today in the kitchen are his second cousin and third cousin. They are both married brothers. Today, Mu's family has something to do. Come back to help, so that Uncle Shen and the others won't be overwhelmed. Come.

"Brother Jie, Brother Qing, do you have anything to eat now? I'm starving to death!" Tian Xiaoman made a very pitiful look. The two of them saw each other and smiled at each other. Shen Jie said, "Yes, sweet potato Do you want porridge?"

"Eat, eat, eat!" Tian Xiaoman consciously took out a big bowl from the cupboard, and handed it to Shen Qing with a smile, waiting for him to serve it for him.

Tian Xiaoman said that this year's sweet potatoes were planted late, and they would only be able to eat them in mid-September. It's only August now, and there are still some to wait for!But his uncle's family planted it early, and now there is some to eat!

Sweet potato porridge tastes sweet and glutinous. Tian Xiaoman likes to eat it very much, but he doesn't like to eat it alone. It's better to have some side dishes made by his uncle, and he will be happy after eating it.

Shen Qing helped Tian Xiaoman fill a bowl full, Shen Jie saw him and said, "Give him a little less, will he still eat after so much?" Shen Qing was about to set aside some for him, but Tian Xiaoman stopped him immediately .

What are you kidding, he can eat some more, what are these?Tian Xiaoman was sitting on the small table in the kitchen with a bowl full of porridge, eating the fragrant and spicy dried radish, and the bowl of porridge was eaten quickly.

After he finished eating, Shen Jie looked at the sky outside and said, "The time seems to be coming soon, let's go out first!"

When they went outside, they found that there was already a circle of people around. Tian Xiaoman saw that Li Wenxuan was inside, so he got in towards him and stood at the front.

Li Wenxuan was very happy to see Tian Xiaoman coming, "Where did you go, Xiaoman? I wanted to find you just now!"

Tian Xiaoman looked at Li Wenxuan with contempt, and said he came to find him even though he didn't move!After twisting him with his hand, Tian Xiaoman told him not to speak, because the ceremony was about to start.

Xisan is also called Sanchao Xi'er, in order to avoid disasters and avoid difficulties, and to pray for good fortune, so the local birth mothers who are full of good fortune, longevity and family harmony are usually invited to wash the children.

This nanny set up an incense table outside the delivery room, on which were enshrined Bixia Yuanjun, thirteen statues of gods, such as sending acne, sending children, etc.After the midwives took the baby out of the room, the third bath began.

All the relatives lined up from the elder to the younger and walked past the basin. First add a spoonful of water, and then put a few copper plates in it, that is, the basin is added.There are also people who can't afford copper coins, so they will put a few red dates and longan in the tea tray.

Tian Xiaoman remembered that one of them was very stingy, every time he went to someone's house to refill the basin, he would only add a spoonful of water, and would not give anything else.Later, when a baby was born in his family, almost all the relatives who came to his house to refill the basin followed his example, and only added a spoonful of water, which made the nanny angry, but he got what was in the refill basin!The second boy in his family also gave birth to a baby next year, so he almost didn't even invite the birth mother!

Soon it was Tian Xiaoman's turn, he took out six copper coins from his pocket and threw them down, the midwife then said something like "Liu Liu Da Shun" and so on, they read according to what you gave, What is smart, what is early child and so on.

Li Wenxuan was behind Tian Xiaoman. He had rarely experienced such a scene before, so he was quite curious this time.He saw Tian Xiaoman throwing six copper coins down, so he wanted to follow suit, but he didn't have any money with him, so he secretly said no!What if relatives thought he was a cheapskate?

In desperation, he actually wanted to take off the finger wrench he was carrying and throw it in, it was better than embarrassing himself in front of Tian Xiaoman's relatives.Fortunately, seeing that he didn't respond, Tian Xiaoman knew that he might not have any money with him, so he quickly took out a few more coins from his pocket and handed them to him from below, so his finger-wrenching was spared.

Li Wenxuan lost the money and hurried down from the top, stood in front of Tian Xiaoman and whispered, "Xiaoman, it's not that I'm stingy, I changed my clothes today and forgot to bring the money! Really!"

Tian Xiaoman gave him a blank look, I don't know you are generous?That monkey cost 20 taels! "I know, don't worry, they won't say anything. At most, they will say that I am fierce and manage your money if you are not married!" Tian Xiaoman knows that many people have seen his actions just now, and they will definitely think that Li Wenxuan is throwing away money. It's all him!

"Hey, if you are willing to take care of it, I am too happy!" Li Wenxuan said sweetly, Tian Xiaoman thought, let's talk about it when we really do it!His father is so honest that he knows how to hide private money!

After refilling the basin, the midwife nurse stirred the water in the basin, and said, "Stir once, stir again and again, the elder brother led the younger brother to run..." After she finished speaking, she hugged the baby and began to wash it. After touching the water, everyone burst into tears, and everyone looked happy. This is called a sound basin, and the midwife nurse read again, "First wash your hair, become a prince, and then wash your waist. One generation is better than the next... ..." After washing, he took a green onion, dipped it in water, and tapped it on the baby's head, while still muttering, "One dozen is smart, two dozen are clever!"

Finally, people throw the scallions on the roof, and the whole ceremony is over.Satisfied, the midwife gathered up the copper plates in the basin and the xiguo in the tea tray and took them home.

Other relatives just wait to eat. The staple food of Xisan is usually noodles, also called Xisanmian.In addition to noodles, there are also many fried eggs on the table, as well as some refreshing side dishes.The noodles are boiled in bone broth, and there is a lot of shredded pork in it, which is not rude.

Tian Xiaoman was slapped in the face while eating noodles, and he boasted that he could eat a lot in Haikou. Now holding this big bowl of noodles, he almost wanted to cry without tears.Country people don't have the habit of leftovers, Tian Xiaoman can only pick and eat one by one.

His stomach usually looks like a bottomless pit, but today he can't hold it any longer. Tian Xiaoman is frowning. His father and mother used to help him eat when he was a child. Now that he has grown up, how can he say so?

After Li Wenxuan finished his bowl of noodles, he also felt quite full. The bowl used by the man was much bigger than that of his brother, it was the kind of big bowl.He thought that Tian Xiaoman would finish his meal soon, and wanted to wait for him to go out for a walk to digest the food, but he didn't expect that he would stop after eating only a small part.

"Xiaoman, are you uncomfortable?" He looked at Tian Xiaoman worriedly.

"No - I just ate something, and now I can't eat any more! What should I do?" Tian Xiaoman looked at Li Wenxuan with pleading eyes, hoping that he could give him some advice.

Li Wenxuan looked at his barely touched bowl of noodles, swallowed with difficulty, and tentatively said, "How about? I help you eat?"

Tian Xiaoman's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay, okay! I'll eat it all for you!" He quickly handed the bowl to Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan looked at the bowl of noodles, smiled wryly, picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it all after a few snorts.Tian Xiaoman looked at him in surprise, "Why don't you have some more?"

Li Wenxuan shook his head, he was afraid that the noodles would burst out of his throat if he spoke!He swears that he won't eat noodles this week!

After a while, Li Wenxuan said to Tian Xiaoman, "Let's go out to digest food. I just saw that there is a small road behind this house, and the scenery there is quite good."

"Okay!" Tian Xiaoman likes to go out very much, and the path behind his uncle's house leads to the mountain, where there is a pretty big lake, which looks beautiful!

After Hetian Amu and the others greeted each other, they walked up the path. Tian Xiaoman changed from the mournful face when he couldn't eat noodles, and now he is in high spirits.

Li Wenxuan felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Tian Xiaoman's very happy look, he joked with him, "Xiaoman, I just helped you eat such a big bowl of noodles, and you haven't repaid me yet!"

"Ah? You said you would help me eat!"

"I'm only helping you because you can't eat it! My stomach hurts now!" Li Wenxuan deliberately sold out.

Tian Xiaoman looked back at him, and told him that he was holding his stomach and looking uncomfortable, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and walked to Li Wenxuan's side, "Then how do you want me to repay you?"

"How about, Xiaoman, give me a kiss! I'll feel better!" Li Wenxuan looked at Tian Xiaoman with a smirk, waiting for him to jump up and hit him.

Tian Xiaoman was skeptical. On the one hand, he felt that he was not a god, how could his mouth be so powerful, and on the other hand, he thought, maybe it is really useful?He had seen his father's and his mother's wounds before, and he smiled after kissing his mother.

After thinking about it, Tian Xiaoman stood on tiptoe, kissed Li Wenxuan quickly on the face, and then ran forward embarrassedly.

Li Wenxuan was stunned for a while, and quickly chased after him. If he had known that Tian Xiaoman would believe it, he would definitely have told him that only kisses are useful!

Tian Xiaoman was running ahead, feeling Li Wenxuan's footsteps catching up, he couldn't help thinking proudly, look, it would be great if Li Wenxuan was kissed by him!
