Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Although the twelfth lunar month was cloudy at first, and it snowed heavily, it became sunny later, and it was sunny until the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

The days go by so quickly, and after this day, you can officially buy new year's goods.

23 Sacrifice to the Stove Heaven, on the day of the new year, although it was winter, the sky was still clear, Yu Liangji, Shi Hongda and a group of old men offered sacrifices to the Stove Lord, Yu Baobao and other children took stove candy to smear the portrait of the Stove Lord Pond residue.

If they didn't understand, they asked the adults, and Xiao Juren told them that Lord Stove would go to heaven to say good things, so give him a sweet mouth.

Yu Juren gave a piece of the remaining stove candies: "You all have to change your teeth. You can't eat too much candy in the past two years. If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt."

The younger ones were obviously dissatisfied, but toothaches and the like could still fool them.

"If you change your teeth, can you eat more?" Ba Jia squeezed the stove candy and licked it. It was so sweet. He had never eaten it on the grassland, and there are stove candies every year here.

"After you have changed your teeth, you can't just eat them casually." Yu Juren hit a group of little dolls with a smile, "It's too late for anything, even if there are too many, it's not a good idea."

Take a group of little dolls, reason with them, barely make sense, let them go back to the house to play.

"I will prepare some pens, inks, papers and inkstones for you tomorrow." Shi Hongda also took a piece of stove candy, threw it into his mouth and chewed it loudly.

"What do you want pens, inks, papers and inkstones?" Yu Liangji simply brought over the plate of stove candies, and picked out a small piece of stove candies to eat himself.

"Write couplets tomorrow!" Shi Hongda snatched Yu Juren's candy plate: "Didn't you say that eating too much will cause tooth decay? Don't eat this!"

Yu Liangji's cheeks puffed up, "...!"

24 Writing couplets, on this day, Yu Liangji was sitting in the study, and the old village chief came early in the morning.

"In the first two years, your family had something to do, so it was not convenient for me to visit you. This year, besides filial piety, you have to write me a couple of good couplets!" The posture of not going.

He knew that Xiao Juren didn't like the smell of dry tobacco, so when he came to Yu's house, the old village chief never smoked!

Especially now in the study room, the bookshelves are full of all kinds of classics, if he really dares to get some sparks out, he can't afford to pay for anything.

"Is just one pair enough?" Xiao Yuju jokingly teased the old village chief. Regardless of his age, the old village chief is getting younger, so a pair of couplets might not be enough, right?

"Don't worry about this. You wrote it on the gate, and Mr. Lin wrote it on the door. Please ask Mr. Hong to write the word "Fu". Yes, he has made all the arrangements, and everyone has prepared three gifts for these three gentlemen to use as embellishments.

Yu Liangji had no choice but to read a few pairs, and asked the old village chief to choose the one he liked, so he spread out red paper and wrote a pair.

The old village chief gave him a gift of embellishing pens, rolled up the couplets and went to the front school to ask Mr. Lin and Hong for couplets and blessings.

Yu Liangji thought for a while, called Yu Baobao, explained a few words, and let him and the children run over to say hello to the two in front.

After sending Yu Baobao away, Shi Hongda came in: "Why do you let the child go out?"

In the past few days, the weather has been sunny, and the temperature has risen a bit. Although it is still very cold, it is no longer too cold.

"Let them talk to the two in front. Don't write too heavy a couplet, it's so ugly!" Yu Liangji put down the book in his hand: "I specialize in writing auspicious expressions, and Mr. Lin only writes all kinds of metaphors. It’s easy for Mr. to write the word “Fu”, so he saves more trouble than the two of us.”

"That's true. If I use the same couplets with my neighbors, what a joke!" Shi Hongda thought, right?What if I asked for a couplet from Yu Juren, and got an identical one from Lin Jie, how can I say that?

The second one to come was the neighbor's second aunt Zhang.

"My eldest daughter-in-law has a big belly, please write me a particularly auspicious couplet!" The second aunt of the Zhang family said unceremoniously, "I just want to hug my eldest grandson!"

Yu Liangji had no choice but to write down a pair of very auspicious couplets for the second aunt of the Zhang family, and got a basket of dried beans brought by the second aunt of the Zhang family as a gift for pens.

In fact, it's a gift, it's just something from my own family. Uncle Sun's family has five-spice dried tofu for one catty per person; Blacksmith Shao even gave a potato to scratch!

By analogy, a bag of soybeans from your family, a bag of sticky rice from his family, and someone brought their own steamed cakes. The steamed cakes are steamed with five grains of rice, and even Mrs. Huang thinks it is good.

There are only so many people in Shibalipu, and they have written almost thirty couplets. In fact, there are only so few words, and it is not as many words as a stereotyped essay to solve problems.

And Lin Jie was similar, he also wrote a lot of couplets, but he compared them with things, while Yu Juren wrote auspicious words according to the four seasons.

As far as Hong Zetao is the most trouble-free, this guy only wrote the characters of blessings, and by the way, he let Yu Baobao and the others bring back a lot of them.

25. The Sun family was busy making tofu again. Fortunately, they had already made preparations and there were few people in Shibalipu. The Yu family ordered two boards of water tofu, ten catties of dried tofu, and ten catties of five-spice dried tofu.

Uncle Sun's family used to send a few catties of bean sprouts to Yu's family as a starter, but since last year, there have been no more, all because there are people in Yu's family, so they don't add to the snake.

26 Cut the New Year's meat. Some people did not kill the New Year's pigs, so they had to go to the meat place to cut the New Year's meat. There is no butcher in Shibalipu. The New Year's meat is almost all pork from their own house, and all chickens, ducks and geese are slaughtered. , meat food began to prepare.

27 to catch the big set.

"The official road has been cleared. Let's go for two days and one night, and stay in the county town for one night. Don't worry, if it's not cold, I'll take you and the child." Shi Hongda let Yu Liangji roll in his arms Get lost, tomorrow is the 27th, and they are going to the county to buy new year's goods.

"I thought I could follow this year, but it still didn't work!" Yu Liangji pouted unhappy.

He originally planned to take the baby and a few children to the county town together. From the first year he knew that Shi Hongda didn't like Zhangjia Village, his family's New Year's goods never went to the big market in Zhangjia Village to buy, and went directly to the county town to purchase. The people from the shop form a team, buy everything in group purchases, and Liu Wenxi is responsible for bargaining, which saves a lot of money every year.

After two years, everyone got used to it.

This year, when Yu Baobao was born, Yu Liangji had already thought about taking the child out for a walk. This process lasted for more than two years, and after this year, it will be three years.

The child seems to have never been out of the house, and has been keeping his filial piety!

"It's too cold, can I still buy things with peace of mind if you both go?" Shi Hongda hugged the person in his arms and smoothed him, "I have to go and give the boss a general report, by the way, your What the hell do you mean? Don't be greedy."

"I'm afraid it's not good for you to ask like that?" Yu Liangji has never been in the officialdom, and the office is transparent in modern times. I really don't know what it was like in ancient times, but I have watched a lot of costume dramas, and the officialdom in them can be dark It's on.

"What's wrong? You can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, right?" Shi Hongda was not convinced: "What a credit that is!"

To say something disrespectful, it would be enough to change the official.

Shi Hongda didn't want Yu Juren to plant fruit trees so hard and let others pick the fruits.

"It's not good for you to ask straightforwardly like this. What if the boss thinks about it too much, what should we do?" Yu Liangji thought for a while: "Why don't you mention it, and when the boss gives it, we will accept it. , we're not in a hurry anyway."

Yu Liangji patted him: "I have many things that are more important than urea. If you really don't pay attention to them, don't blame me for fighting back."

"How do you fight back?" Shi Hongda was very nervous. If he threatened the court, it would be difficult. Although the current emperor is broad-minded, he is definitely not big-hearted. sharp.

Just look at Goryeo, who dared to take advantage of the death of the holy ancestor and the overlap of regimes in the past few years, and let that person send someone to destroy the country. You know that that person is a vengeful person, and he was only enthroned at that time .

These are the two drunken words his boss once told him after drinking too much.

"I still have a lot of formulas similar to urea. If someone dares to fake it, I guarantee that he won't be able to eat it!" Yu Liangji groaned angrily. Yes, he has already researched it.

There is nothing in this place, and it is really insecure to rely on God's face to eat.

The next day, Shi Hongda and the others got up early and left. Fortunately, the official road had been cleaned, and the people from Shibalipu had Fu Erzhuzi in the convoy this time.

We went to the county town to purchase together.

Yu Liangji took the opportunity to wear short clothes and ran to the shed. Shi Hongda was not at home, and took away Ba's father and son and Liu Wenxi. The rest of the people couldn't control him.

The things in the greenhouse are growing well. Although some green vegetables have been lost, things like peppers, cucumbers and persimmons are doing well. This winter, due to the weather, the growth has been slow, but now they are all bearing fruit anyway. time to eat.

Yu Liangji fertilized them once, and the persimmons will turn red within two days, and it will be enough for them to eat at home or as a gift.

Liu Songshi looked anxiously at Yu Liangji, but there was nothing he could do, but the old master said that the young master should not get sick again.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what's going on, just for a while, it's fine!" Yu Liangji added fertilizer to the greenhouse, and went to see the wooden boxes of various houses. Every winter, there are such wooden boxes to grow vegetables. The output is large, but the number of samples is large.

From lettuce and coriander to rape spinach, there is also a box of lettuce, because Yu Liangji likes to eat stir-fried lettuce.

"You go back when you're done, the young master will be looking for you in a while." I couldn't persuade him, so I had to let Yu Baobao watch him, he didn't listen to others, and always cared about the baby.

"Okay, I'll go back now." Yu Liangji had no choice but to put down the water ladle in his hand, put on his clothes, and went back to the study.

After a while, Yu Baobao came here with the children at home, and they used their snacks and soup here at noon, and then Yu Liangji checked the content of the winter vacation homework at school, and then took a nap.

Get up at 01:30 in the afternoon, watch the children do their winter vacation homework, and order what to eat for dinner by the way. If you want to take a bath, you should also take a bath at this time, otherwise it will be too cold at night, and you may catch a cold after taking a bath.

For dinner, I ate big porridge, stir-fried pickles with vegetable oil, and a plate of white cut meat, dipped in garlic sauce. First, this is not greasy, and second, the onion and garlic can’t leave the mouth, and all diseases can be bypassed.

The next day, before three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Hongda and the others came back.

When we went to the county this time, everyone bought a lot of things.

"So many?" In the past, there were not so many things to buy during the Chinese New Year!

"I can't help it, I'm afraid the weather will get worse, and everyone hasn't gone out much all winter, and the family urgently needs some daily necessities." Seeing Yu Liangji coming out, Shi Hongda hurriedly dragged people into the house, and Liu Wenxi went outside to make arrangements.

"It's better to buy more, it's Chinese New Year, hurry up." Yu Liangji thought for a while, this winter, because it has been snowing, no one has really gone out. In the past, even if everyone didn't go to the county town, they could still go to Zhangjia Village to catch the market , to buy some daily necessities, this winter will not work, it is too cold, no one wants to go out.

Later, we caught up with the winter plague, and almost every family got sick, and they dared not open the door.

"En." Shi Hongda looked at Yu Liangji, and whispered to him: "I went to the general office and didn't mention anything about you."
