Gu Rin's farming life

In the following days, the Gu family was preparing for the two children's full moon banquet.

There are a lot of chores. After being busy, Mrs. Gu often forgets to look at Gu Lin. Then she finds that she does not look at Gu Lin, and Gu Lin has no intention of leaving. She is relieved and stops staring at Gu Lin for several days. people act.

Gu Linsong was much faster.

The family is busy, and he has nothing to do. He takes Wen Yan up the mountain every day to investigate, looking for suitable materials for papermaking.

Watching Gu Lin take him up and down without doing anything, Wen Yan thought to himself that Gu Lin really likes him, otherwise why would it be fine to take him around.

Anyway, he and Gu Lin stayed together, although they didn't communicate much most of the time, they didn't feel awkward at all, and the atmosphere was even very harmonious.

It really is very comfortable to stay with Gu Lin. If we live together in the future, we should not be unaccustomed to it. That's great. Wen Yan let out a breath of comfort and continued to follow behind Gu Lin.

After a few days like this, it finally came to the full moon day of the two children.

On this day, almost all the relatives and friends of the Gu family came here, except for those who were far away or not close. Here we come, this time the entire Jing family has been mobilized to show how much they value their grandson, Full Moon.

It was also the first time Gu Lin met the Jing family.

Gu Xian's father-in-law, Jing Xi, is an old man with a clear spirit and looks very serious.

The mother-in-law, Jing Tian, ​​is slightly fat and looks very lucky.

Jing Mu, the eldest son of the Jing family, seems very honest and honest, and the daughter-in-law he married looks very shrewd and shrewd.

As for the second son of the Jing family, Jing Yu, he seemed to be very detached. He was even the father of a child, and he still looked like a child. His husband quietly cleaned up the mess for him, so he often offended others unknowingly. Because he married a good wife, there were not many people who felt bad for him.

Gu Lin looked at the Jing family with interest. Jing Xi must be a very smart person, just look at the wives he married to his two sons.

Jing Mu is honest and even a bit good-natured, so marry him a shrewd daughter-in-law to prevent him from suffering.

Jing Xun has a thick nerve and is careless, so he offended others without knowing it. The wife he married was stable and virtuous, and helped Jing Xun clean up the mess very well, effectively preventing Jing Xun from being sacked because of offending others.

"Erlang, I heard you're all right?" The youngest son of the Jing family, Jing Yu, jumped over and hung on Gu Lin's body, almost knocking over a basket of eggs on the way.

His daughter-in-law, Jing Yanshi, supported a basket in the back to avoid the chicken-and-egg fight.

"Okay." Gu Lin nodded with a smile. He really likes Jing Xun's carefree personality. It's very easy to get along with this kind of person, and he doesn't have to worry about being tricked, so he hangs on to Jing Xun. Things are not planned, let him hang on all the time.

Wen Yan stared at Jing Yu hanging on Gu Lin's body, his eyes wished to turn into throwing knives and shoot Jing Yu to death, bastard, he dared to hang on Gu Lin's body, he had never hung it before.

Jing Yu didn't notice Wen Yan's eyes at all. When he heard Gu Lin say that he was healed, he felt happy and circled him tighter, "Since you're better, I'll take you hunting. Let me tell you, I My father-in-law recently taught me a new method of making traps, and the effect is very good. Let’s go to the mountains to get some together, and we will definitely catch a lot of prey.”

"Sounds good." Gu Lin squeezed his chin and thought, Jing Yu's father-in-law is a well-known hunter nearby, and he has quite a lot of experience. The things he taught must be good things. "We will go there in a few days."

Wen Yan looked at Jing Yu's hand wrapped around Gu Lin's neck, his face became more gloomy the more he looked at it, the knuckles holding the chopsticks began to turn white, it was mine, and I dared to touch my territory, I was so impatient to live!

Jing Yan looked at Wen Yan's eyes that were about to burst into flames, and then looked at Jing Yu who knew nothing and cheerfully agreed with Gu Lin to go up the mountain in three days, and felt very tired in an instant. People wear sacks, thinking of this, she had no choice but to step forward, very naturally tore off the Jing Yu hanging from Gu Lin's body, and said with a smile, "Jing Yu is such a big man, you can't hang on Gu Lin all the time, you will be overwhelmed." Wreck him."

"I wasn't excited for a while. Next time, next time I will definitely pay attention." Jing Yu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, although he hoped to be careless, sometimes his head seemed to be missing a string, but he listened to his wife very much. .

"Want to have a next time?" Jing Yan glared at him, "Don't you even look at how big you are?"

As soon as Jing Yan frowned, Jing Yu didn't move, and raised his hands as a sign of surrender, "I know, I know, I will definitely not suppress Erlang in the future!"

"Good boy." Jing Yan patted Jing Yu's head in satisfaction, "Don't make too intimate movements with Erlang in the future, I will be jealous.

Hearing that she would be jealous, Jing Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but grab Jing Yan's hand, forgetting about Gu Lin.

Gu Lin was forcibly fed a mouthful of dog food, and couldn't help but greeted him and left. As a single dog, he didn't want to be abused here.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Jing Yan gave Wen Yan a look.

Wen Yan's expression couldn't help but soften. It seems that this Jing Yan family is really smart. She sensed that Wen Yan was dissatisfied with Jing Yu, and she knew why Wen Yan was dissatisfied with just one glance, and judged that Wen Yan had dissatisfaction with Jing Yu. Threatening, he thought of a solution in an instant, and successfully dispelled Wen Yan's anger.

That bastard Jing Yu is so lucky to marry such a smart wife.

Wen Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But I am lucky, and Gu Lin is also very good.

Seeing Wen Yan's expression soften, Jing Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and solved another threat that might be unfavorable to Jing Yu.

But this gentle expression and eyes are really scary.

When Gu Lin arrived at the hall, he found that there were a lot of people around the hall, and the shaving master was already in place, and he began to shave the lanugo of the two children as soon as the fortune teller's auspicious time arrived.

The custom here is the same as the custom in some ancient places in his previous life. The baby's full moon wine should be shaved.

As a modern young man, Gu Lin is relatively unfamiliar with these customs, so he is a little excited.

When the auspicious time was approaching, the two children were carried out by Gu Xian and Mrs. Gu. As soon as they were carried out, everyone praised the children 360 degrees without any dead ends. Mrs. Gu smiled so happily that her face turned into a chrysanthemum.

As soon as the auspicious time arrives, it is time to start shaving the lanugo.

The shaving master had been hired long ago, and he was hired by a teacher from the neighboring village, Master Zhou.

Master Zhou has been engaged in hair shaving for more than [-] years, and has rich experience. Moreover, he is humble and gentle, and looks kind, so many people ask him to be the barber for the baby's full moon.

Before shaving, Wen Yan secretly dipped a small brush in some water at the request of Mrs. Gu, and sprinkled it on the barber's back quietly. I heard that this is to prevent babies from not protecting their hair when they shave, although Wen Yan doesn't know what it is No reason, but he still obeyed.

Because he felt that this was the meaning of the Gu family treating him as their own, so he took this matter seriously.

It goes well when shaving.

Min Min and Huai Huai are very obedient today, they are not afraid to meet strangers, obediently asked the barber to shave the head for the first time.

After the shaving master shaves the lanugo hair for the first time, he immediately mixes a small amount of dog hair and cat hair prepared in advance with the shaved hair, and wraps it with a red thread to form a ball.

Then hang the cat ball on the tent hook in the baby's room.

"Hey, do you know what it means to hang this?" Gu Lin touched Wen Yan, who was also watching, with his elbow.

"It is said that it can strengthen the baby's courage and make it easy to feed." Wen Yan thought for a while and said.

"You know?" Gu Lin looked at Wen Yan in surprise.

"I've heard of it before." Wen Yan shrugged, indicating that this problem is very common.

Gu Lin pouted, although he didn't know the scientific basis for this, but Gu Lin also knew that this kind of situation cannot be questioned today.

Finally, the shaving master also left peach-shaped lanugo on the heads of the two children, so that they can be combed into "garlic braids" in the future. One is to express the parents' expectation that their children will become dragons, and the other is a symbol of being a spoiled child in the old days.

After shaving the lanugo, the barber shaved off the eyebrows of the two children.

Looking at the plump faces of the two children, they look more fleshy after shaving their eyebrows off. Coupled with the peach-shaped lanugo hair on their heads, they look even cuter. People can't help but want to pinch them. Many guests couldn't resist the temptation I squeezed and pinched it with my hands.

"Then why did you shave your eyebrows off?"

"In the future, children will grow up with beautiful features." Wen Yan found that Gu Lin knew little about some customs, and he didn't know where this person came from. Wen Yan couldn't help but educate him about some customs and meanings of shaving lanugo.

At the end of the hearing, Gu Lin felt that he was going to look at Wen Yan with admiration. He didn't expect that Wen Yan usually looks gloomy and doesn't like to talk.

After shaving the lanugo over there, we entered the next stage - beating the fetal head.

Mrs. Gu had prepared hard-boiled eggs a long time ago, and stood aside

After cooling down, the eggshell was peeled off, and the white egg was kept spinning on the baby's head.

In the end, the head eggs are distributed to the children in the neighborhood. , which is said to enable them to live in harmony in the future.

At present, eggs are considered a relatively precious item in farm families. For farm children, eggs are not something that can often be eaten.

So knowing that the Gu family's child is about to be full moon, the children in the neighborhood have already planned to come to rub their heads that day.

Today, when the Gu family started shaving the hair of the two children, seven or eight children from the neighborhood gathered at the Gu family.Excitedly waiting for the egg.

Mrs. Gu also considered that there might be more children, so she prepared a lot of beating eggs. After completing the ceremony of beating the heads, Mrs. Gu took the eggs and divided one among the children. The children cheered and ran away with the eggs. Far.

"Be careful!"

Mrs. Gu couldn't help reminding her later.

Seeing the children huffing and running away all of a sudden, she turned and went back to the house.

She was busy helping the children bathe and change their clothes, shaved their fetal hair and had their heads beaten, and there was still a ceremony to be held below.

Gu Lin and Wen Yan were assigned to Huaihuai to take a bath, while Mrs. Gu and her mother-in-law Jing Tian were in charge of Yin Min.

It was the first time for Gu Lin and Wen Yan to bathe Huaihuai.

Full Moon's bosom is white and fat, except for a pinch of peach-shaped lanugo on the head, there is no hair on the whole round head, just like a steamed bun.

Gu Lin stretched out his hand and poked it, and felt that it felt particularly good, so he poked it again.

It wasn't until Gu Lin had had enough fun that he put his bosom into the prepared hot water.

The temperature of the hot water has been adjusted to ensure that it will not hurt his tender skin.

Huaihuai is a child who likes water. Although he can't sit up after being put in the bathtub, he still pats a chubby arm, causing the water in the basin to splash everywhere.

Gu Lin and Wen Yan were splashed with a lot of water on their faces and bodies, and they looked embarrassed, but Huai Huai seemed to find something very interesting, and the filming became more joyful, and they giggled happily.

Seeing how bad he was, Gu Lin couldn't help but raised his hand and patted his fat little butt a few times.

Huai Huai thought that Gu Lin was playing with him, so he played more vigorously and got water everywhere.

Gu Lin had no choice but to grab his armpits with both hands and let him stand in the bathtub, "Xiaoyan, come and wash him."

"Okay." Wen Yan earnestly scooped up water to bathe Huaihuai.

"Over there too." Gu Lin saw that he washed every place carefully, but avoided the important parts. Gu Lin thought it was funny, and couldn't help teasing him, pointing to the position of Huaihuai and said .

Wen Yan glanced at the position of his fingers, and quickly moved his eyes away, but his neck was slowly stained red, and within a while it spread to his entire face, even his neck was red.

Gu Lin looked at the flushed Wen Yan with surprise on his face, isn't this little brat too easily shy?He didn't do anything.

Besides, everyone is a man, they have everything they should have, and there is nothing more or less than others. Why is he so shy?

"Shy?" Gu Lin freed up a hand and patted Wen Yan's hot cheek, "Why are you so thin-skinned?"

"I'm not shy." Wen Yan patted Gu Lin's hand away, quickly washed the important parts of his bosom, picked up the cloth towel prepared next to him, wrapped him up and carried him away, "I'll go find my aunt."

Run away?

Gu Lin rubbed his chin and smiled.

On the other side, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jing Tian are bathing Minmin.

"Have you chosen a name for the child?" Mrs. Jing Tian squeezed her slender arm like a lotus root, and washed her arm.

"Get up." Mrs. Gu thought that Gu Rin was the one who gave the eldest girl the name, so she paused and said, "The eldest girl is Gu Yin, her nickname is Yin Yin, the elder and younger son is named Gu Jing, and her nickname is Huaihuai. Which two are they?" I don’t know the characters, they were all taken by Da Lang and the others.”

Although he is not the Gu family, he really has nothing to say to the Gu family.

Even if Erlang is here, he can't do better than him.

Maybe this kind of stalking behavior is quite inappropriate for me. I haven't stalked for a few days, and I have nothing to do. I probably have to give up this kind of behavior, otherwise it would be bad for Gu Lin to have a grudge.

Jing Tian didn't notice the pause in Mrs. Gu's tone, but she was relieved when she heard that the child's name was chosen by her son-in-law.

The son-in-law is a scholar, so there is absolutely no mistake in the name he chooses.

So she skipped the topic of names and turned to another important question, "Wait who takes the kids across the bridge?"

After the child is full moon, he will change into new clothes after shaving his hair and taking a bath. He will be held by his mother or aunt, hold an umbrella, light a stick of incense, cross the bridge at the nearest bridge and read some words of good luck to the baby.

Gu Xian's wife, Gu Jingshi, has passed away, and the Gu family has no daughters, even Gu Xian's generation in the Gu family has no daughters at all, so now no one can take two children across the bridge.

Jing Tian was quite worried before, afraid that the Gu family would not value the two children, and just find someone to pretend to be a fool, and let it go.

"The two children recognized Mr. Da Lang's daughter as their godmother, and she will take the children across the bridge today." Mrs. Gu held down Ning Min's fidgeting hand.

"Mr. Dalang's daughter?" Jing Tian frowned and thought for a while before remembering who Gu Xian's husband was. After thinking about it, she couldn't help showing a pleasant smile, "But Zhao Juren's wife?"

"That's right." Mrs. Gu began to wash Min Min's hair.

Mrs. Jing Tian is relieved, Madam Zhao, Mrs. Zhao Su is well-known for being gentle and virtuous. With her as the godmother of the two children, the two children can be regarded as a little dependent in the future.

Even if Gu Xian marries a bride in the future, if the bride is not tolerable and the two children have such a godmother, the bride will not dare to go too far.

It's not that Mrs. Jingtian thinks too much. The world is like this. After a man loses his wife, he usually remarries a new wife. Being able to guard his wife for a full year before remarrying his wife is considered a deep affection.

Generally speaking, the stepmother will not treat the children born to her husband's ex-wife kindly.

And their grandsons and granddaughters have recognized relatives with more status.So even if the son-in-law remarries in the future, the two children don't have to worry about it.

The Jingtian family did not consider that the daughter of Master Su of the Zhao Su family would definitely unite with her father to pay Gu Xian, and it would be useless to recognize a hundred relatives by then.

She felt that she had let go of a big rock in her heart, and her whole body was a little more relaxed, and the movements of her hands became more agile, and the two of them quickly helped Min Min take a bath.

Mrs. Gu put on the new clothes she had prepared for Min Min, because Min Min's mother died of dystocia, and Min Min and Huai Huai are now in the hot filial piety period, so the clothes Mrs. Gu prepared for her were small light blue clothes.

Yan Min put on light blue clothes, which made her skin fair and rosy, making her look even cuter.

Mrs. Jingtian loved her so much, if she hadn't had to take her out to meet people later, she would have kissed Min Min dozens of times on the face.

If you can't kiss, she takes out a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver anklets from her bosom and puts them on Min Min. The bracelets and anklets have small bells, which jingle when they shake. Min Min likes the sound and keeps shaking them. Hands and feet, the bell rang louder, and she giggled excitedly when she heard the sound.

After Min Min changed his clothes, Wen Yan also embraced his white and tender arms, and Mrs. Gu quickly changed him into new blue clothes.

Jing Tian also hung a pair of silver bracelets and silver anklets on him.

According to the custom, when the child is full moon, the gifts from grandma are often the most exquisite and richest.So Jing Tian not only sent bracelets, anklets and clothes.Two children were also given three hats each.

The front brim of a hat is embroidered with patterns such as longevity peach, lotus and lotus root. This kind of hat has no top and is worn around the head;

The other is a "dog head hat" worn in winter. There are two "ears" on the hat, two eyes are nailed on the front, and sheep fur is embedded on the brim;

There is also a hood. Although it is not inlaid with valuables such as pearls and agates like rich people, the surroundings of the cap are inlaid with silver decorations such as "Eight Immortals" and "Hehe", which is quite delicate and lovely.

In addition, she also made shoes and socks separately, and immediately put them on for the two children.

The two children took a new look after being carried out. They wore new clothes and dog-headed hats, and their bracelets and anklets jingled. No matter how they looked, they were so cute.

Zhao Sushi, who is the godmother of two children, likes two children more.

Zhao Su's family has been married for many years without pregnancy, and her desire for a child has reached its peak.

Originally, I knew that Gu Xian had two children and was already envious. Who knew that Gu Xian came to his mother hoping to find a suitable person for her to play the role of mother for the two children at the full moon. Recognize the two children as godsons and daughters.

In addition to liking the two children, there is also the idea that the elder brother and sister will bring the younger brother in their hearts.

As soon as the two children were carried out, Zhao Su's eyes lit up, and he picked up a child in a hurry.

"This child looks so cute." Zhao Su's heart softened as the child hugged the child.

"You shouldn't praise her like this." Mrs. Gu was naturally happy when she heard others praise her grandchildren, but she still said modestly.

But seeing that the time was approaching, she couldn't help reminding, "It's time, we should go to cross the bridge."

"Indeed." Zhao Su looked at the sky, nodded, hugged Min Min, and walked towards the bridge with an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and Mrs. Gu followed behind, holding a lit incense.

The bridge closest to Gu's house is the one on Qushui that connects the two sides of Qushui.

Zhao Sushi walked with Min Min in his arms and chanted auspicious words to bless Min Min so that she would grow up to be courageous.

After walking back and forth on the bridge several times, Mrs. Zhao changed her arms and repeated the process just now, and the step of crossing the bridge was considered completed.

After crossing the bridge, the only step left in the baby's full moon process is to eat the full moon wine.

Mrs. Gu is mainly responsible for shaving the head and crossing the bridge, while old man Gu is responsible for the full moon wine.

Old man Gu started to prepare this banquet a few days ago. From drafting the menu to preparing the vegetables, the old man did it himself. He even inspected the chef who was invited to take charge of the spoon. Today he finally made a plan that he is quite satisfied with. Come at the table.

He prepared a total of ten dishes, three cold, four hot, one soup, one sweet soup and one dessert.

The three cools are cold fungus, hot and sour radish sticks, and spicy duck gizzards; the four heats are braised pork trotters, stir-fried eggplant and green beans, tofu stew, pork stewed vermicelli, a radish rib soup, sweet soup and desserts are peanut soup and mung bean cake.

This table of noodles is considered to be of a good grade in the village, so the visitors are quite satisfied with the meal.

Seeing that the banquet he carefully prepared was so popular, old man Gu was much happier and took several puffs of cigarettes.

During the banquet, Mrs. Zhao Su and Mrs. Gu held the baby, greeted relatives and friends in turn, and addressed the guests one by one according to the tone of a newborn.

Zhao Su's eloquence made the guests laugh out loud.

The entire full moon banquet can be regarded as a feast for the guests and host. .

After the song ended, the Gu family worked together to clean up the leftovers, clean the tables, chairs, and chopsticks, and the full moon banquet was considered complete.
