Love delays my farming

The four old people in the family didn't know last night, wrong, it should be this morning, the demons dancing in the yard at home, not to mention that the poor little Long Xiaojiu in their hearts opened his eyes.Although it was only an hour, it also proved that the other party was not blind... at least not purely blind.

They slept until dawn, feeling comfortable and full of energy, and they didn't feel weak after sleeping too much.

"I really can't stay up late when I'm old, look, I'm getting up late now." Grandma Chu kicked her legs in the yard after washing, wishing she could jump up and down twice.Before, she had been worried that her legs would be uncomfortable without heating, but she didn't pay much attention because she never had any pain.It has been more than three months since winter began, and her legs have never felt uncomfortable, which makes her not too happy.

Mother Chu and Yu Haiyang came out yawning. They forgot to draw the curtains last night and were woken up by the hot sunshine, otherwise they could have slept a little longer.It was really so comfortable, this sleep seemed to clear away all the troubles of the year, and I slept soundly for eight hours without dreaming all night.

Chu Yao and Wang Xishan drove a small tricycle from the greenhouse. Behind the car were freshly picked vegetables and fruits today.In the early morning, Shifen is full of aura, and these animals and plants feel the deepest.Peppers, tomatoes, and fruits are hanging, and strawberries are bursting, each one is big and full, and the whole greenhouse is filled with the fresh and sweet aroma of strawberries.

Lin Feiyuan and Shuhu fed the chickens and picked up the eggs in the chicken shed, and took the leftover food and fruit from last night to Xiaohuang and his family.Those hens and quails laid a lot of eggs yesterday, and several hens and quails showed signs of brooding.Lin Feiyuan picked out a lot of plump and fresh eggs and put them into the grass nest. After seventeen or eight days, new little birds would appear in the shed.

Two people were carrying a basket full of eggs, and a few ponies ran and jumped around them, looking extremely happy.

Ying Wei and Ji Mengmeng are already busy in the kitchen, cooking sticky millet porridge, golden fried eggs, burnt potato cakes with cold fresh cucumbers and green peppers, the breakfast is nutritious and delicious.

Chu Yao greeted the old people and said: "Uncle Kang sent a text message, let us go there around ten o'clock. They will go to the grave in the morning."

Grandpa Chu also had a bag in his hand, which contained the burnt paper ingots he bought at some time, and said to Chu Yao, "We won't go back to worship our ancestors this year, so we will burn some paper money by the lake. Your parents, you and your hometown I’m not close there, but I have to give my ancestors a good one.”

Chu Yao responded, and the family had breakfast, and walked to the shore with some dumplings cooked yesterday and some dim sum candies.Grandpa Chu drew a circle on the ground with a tree branch. The circle is not closed, but there is an exit, facing the direction of his hometown.Then I put a ceramic basin in the circle, which was dug out from the storage room. It is estimated that the purpose of this ceramic basin should be to raise fish, but there are cats at home, and there is a lake around. There is no one to do things.

Grandpa Chu put the burnt paper into the basin and lit it, mumbling something in his mouth. We are all in good health now, and our life is very good now, so don't worry about it.Burn some money and eat it, don't be reluctant to eat, and don't be reluctant to spend it.

Wait until the burning paper is completely burned to ashes, and then pour the paper ashes and food into the lake.Those sweets and snacks were also unpacked. The ice on the lake was not frozen very thick. In addition, a large piece was cut before, and now it only needs to knock a few times with a stone to make a hole.

Throw things in, and after a while, many fish hatch out of the water, breathing with their mouths wide open, or swallowing those dumplings, snacks and candies.All of a sudden, the entire ice hole boiled up, stirring up the already fragile ice surface, and it took a long time to disperse.

"The ancestors received the things we burned." Grandpa Chu felt that it was very auspicious that everything was eaten by fish, because the ancestors were probably on the bodies of these little creatures.The old man will always be superstitious and persistent in some strange places, even if some of these little creatures will be caught in the fishing net and sent into the cauldron to be stuffed into their stomachs after a while.

Most of the cemeteries in Taoyuan Village and several other villages are concentrated in the area under the cliff, where the scenery is good, and it is said that a master has calculated that it is a yin house with good Fengshui.Because this side is next to the mountain, we pay attention to burning paper for sacrifices, and all the burned paper is sent to the lake to avoid causing mountain fires.

The sound of two kicks sounded one after another, and clouds of smoke exploded in the air, startling the winter birds to chirp.

After returning home to tidy up a little, the Chu family boarded the boat with the gift of "visiting relatives" and went to the house of the head of Village Kang.

Village Chief Kang has already cleaned up all the rooms, because the houses here are spacious and high, so the light is relatively poor.Usually the lights are not turned on in the house, but today everyone is leaving relatives, so the room is naturally brightly lit.

"I guess you're coming soon," Village Chief Kang greeted him with a laugh, "Come in, come in, there's a kang burning in the house, it's warm. Mother, hurry up and bring the tea."

People’s kang here is not the kind connected to the stove, or not connected to the main big stove, but there is a kang in the house, and there is a kang hole under the kang for burning wood and coal for heating, and maybe a small stove. You can boil a pot of water.

Because winter here comes late and leaves early, the probability of Kang being used is not particularly high.

Hot water was burning on the kang stove in the main house of Mr. Kang’s house, and the gurgling steam warmed up the whole room.Tables were placed on the top and bottom of the kang, which were filled with snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds, and a lot of loose cigarettes were removed and placed on the plate.

"Everyone sit on the kang, go on the kang." Village Chief Kang greeted, "All the big guys will come over in a while, there is no place to stand under the kang, all go up."

Mother Chu used to sleep on the kang when she was a child. Later, the bungalows were scrapped and built into small buildings after the town was rebuilt, and replaced with water heaters.Although the temperature on the island is similar to this side, the thick big green stone house can store heat. The large south-facing windows absorb the sunlight of the day, and when a pot of water is boiled at night, the whole house is as warm as spring, and there is no need for a kang.

Chu Yao had never lived in an earthen kang at all. The kang was covered with finely woven mats and covered with thick wool felt, making it very warm to the touch.There are also many futons made of corn husks scattered around the Kang table, which are very comfortable to sit on.

Although there are not many people in these villages, most of them are relatives.Village head Kang sat at home with peace of mind after celebrating the new year for the nearby old uncles and uncles. His two sons and their wives also went out, leaving only a few children at home.

Liang Zi is no stranger to the Chu family. He will come back to help with some work during school holidays. He usually doesn't like to talk and is a very shy boy.There is a girl named Kang Xue, who is not very old, with a ponytail and a thin red down jacket. She is sweet and energetic.

She called people one by one, grabbed candies and stuffed them, and said in a hurry: "This is the chocolate that my parents brought back from the establishment. It is delicious. My grandfather said that you are also from the city. Eat this kind of chocolate." You should be used to eating sugar. Do you eat fried peanuts? My uncle fried them yesterday. I have heard of you many times, thank you for your quail, I really like eating quail eggs."

Village Chief Kang smiled from ear to ear, patted Kang Xue's head affectionately, and said, "My little granddaughter is sweet and smart, just follow her father."

The little girl looked around, then sat quietly on the top of the kang, bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone.Chu Yao glanced at it. She was playing the simplest Snake game. She was using Mr. Kang’s old smart phone. It had a big screen but a small memory, so it couldn’t fit a few games.But even the little girl who is simply greedy for snakes still had fun, and quickly fed the snake until it grew long.

As for the young man Liang Zi, he sat silently by the door, did not play with his mobile phone, held a piece of red paper in his hand and didn't know what to fold.

He has been to Mr. Kang's house many times. Before, there were old newspapers and calendars pasted on the surrounding walls, but today they are all replaced with new newspapers.There are also advertisements for discounts in supermarkets in the county, on which you can see clear red characters such as explosion and price reduction.

There are also window grilles on the glass of the windows, which don't look like the ones bought outside, and there are some small people and animals on them, each of which is different.

"Uncle, did you twist this by yourself?" Chu Yao asked.

Village Chief Kang laughed and said: "The women in the village have nothing to do, but they are very dexterous. Buying red paper twisted window grilles by yourself is also beautiful and cheap. Do you like it? If you like it, you still have some at home. Take some with you."

"No, no, my house is covered with plasters." I wrote the couplets at home by myself, but the window grilles are the kind of plastic window grilles that Chu Yao bought. I pasted them on the windows with water, and they are very strong. I usually wipe the glass. Can't be wiped off.

"If I had known that my aunt had this skill, I should have twisted it up and sold it online," Chu Yao said.

Village Chief Kang couldn't help laughing, and said: "There are dexterous women in eight villages here who can twist this. It looks better than your aunt's. Who are you selling it to? All the window grilles that are twisted by machine are sold in the town. The one with tassels underneath is much prettier than ours."

"Maybe then, people in the city are rare in pure handicrafts nowadays. Later, you can twist a few good-looking ones and show me, maybe you can sell them." Chu Yao peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth. It is a small peanut special here. It is not big but plump, and it is very fragrant after frying.

Village Chief Kang said: "It would be great if you can sell it for money, but you don't have to feel pressured. If you can't sell it, we can post it yourself. Uncle Chu, your grandson is amazing. It's like opening a golden mouth." .If this thing can make money, my daughter-in-law might not be happy enough to go to the house."

Grandpa Chu laughed loudly and said: "He just ran around in business before, and he has a lot of knowledge, but it's nothing. In the future, when the big guy has money in his pocket, he will go out for a walk. After gaining knowledge, he will naturally know how to make money .”

Several people chatted for a while, and Kang Yongshun came to the door with his children.He not only closed the door, but also followed a very familiar figure behind him.

Chu Yao stretched out his head to take a look, and found that it was Long Jiu!

Why did he follow? ?
