Qinghe Pastoral

After the rice is harvested, a new wave is planted, and at this time, corn and potatoes are ripening one after another.In the busy July, there was almost no time for leisure. After a month, both Lin Sheng and Lin Mu lost a lot of weight and got a lot of tan.

At the end of July, the work in the field finally came to an end temporarily. This year's harvest is good, and the villagers are happy. Just at this time, the Bonfire Festival is coming as scheduled. The harvest is good, and the festival will naturally be more lively and happy.

For the first time, this year, the old house actually invited Lin Mu's family to celebrate the festival together.

Since getting married with Ji Ruixiu, Liu Guilian and Liu Yunqiao have calmed down a lot, but the relationship between the two is still neither salty nor warm. The rift was not created in a day or two, and naturally it cannot be eliminated in a day or two.The old house will only bring back Xu Xiuqin's bad memories, and their family will naturally not suffer from that.But there are all kinds of things that are not right, after all, parents who have the gift of giving birth, during the New Year and holidays, always need some filial piety, Xu Xiuqin will never ask about these matters, it is up to Lin Sheng to decide.

Not only was the harvest this year good, but Xu Xiuqin was still healthy, and Lin Mu was also engaged. All kinds of happy events were gathered together, and this year's Bonfire Festival was also extraordinarily grand.

The Bonfire Festival is not a traditional festival of the Dayu Dynasty, it belongs to Jing'an County alone.

A long time ago, during the turbulent years of the Dayu Dynasty, many strong men had to pack their bags, leave their homeland, and go to the battlefield.

There is a newlywed couple in the county who are very affectionate. Not long after they got married, the husband went to the battlefield.One or two years, until the war subsided, the husband still did not come back. Some people said that he died on the battlefield, but the wife naturally refused to listen or believe it.

The days of waiting were extremely long and painful, and the wife was even more unwilling to believe that the person who had promised him his life had just left her.One year, two years later, the natal family persuaded the girl to remarry, but the girl refused.Every night, she lights a torch in front of the door, fearing that her husband will not be able to find his way back home, and it will be a lifetime.

The husband naturally died on the battlefield, and the wife couldn't wait for her beloved until she died.The people in the county were moved by the love of their wives, so they designated the day when the couple got married as the Bonfire Festival, which is a blessing to the lovers and a blessing that they can meet each other in Huangquan.

Lin Mu got up early, and the butcher's house was at the west entrance of the village, a little far away from his house, so he couldn't buy good meat anytime soon.Sure enough, when Lin Mu arrived, there was already a long queue.

Lin Mu was in line behind a few aunts, and those aunts usually liked to joke, but now they couldn't help making fun of Lin Mu when they saw Lin Mu.Lin Mu has long been used to it, and knows that these aunts have no bad intentions even though they talk badly, so let them talk.

When it was Lin Mu's turn, there was only half a piece of pork left. Farmers like to buy meat with fat, but Lin Mu's favorite is pig's trotters, and there is just one more. That's it.

Lin Mu was walking home with the meat he had bought, and happened to see Liu Yunqiao who had come to buy the meat. He wanted to pretend that he hadn't seen it, but Liu Yunqiao had sharp eyes and insisted on getting close to him.

"Mu'er, come to buy meat. Your mother should make up for it when she is pregnant. This hoof is so good. I told you to go home and eat it, but you didn't come here. It's really strange."

Earlier, Lin Xue had a fight with her, and Liu Yunqiao has restrained himself a little now.Besides, Ji Ruixiu's love for Lin Mu is not noticed by anyone. The Lin Sheng family is different now.

When someone came over, Lin Mu couldn't pretend it didn't exist, so he replied a few words in a perfunctory manner. Seeing that Liu Yunqiao was talking endlessly, he told her that pork was selling fast, and it would be impossible to buy it any later. As expected, Liu Yunqiao I didn't even bother to talk to him.

Lao Zhai's attitude towards his family is completely different from before, but whether it is unintentional or intentional, some things happened as they happened. He is not a saint and cannot let go of everything.But at any rate, there is still Lin Zian, and it is not good to keep away from each other forever and just live in such a neutral manner.

When Lin Mu got home, Lin Sheng was killing a chicken. It was a pheasant, which was just caught yesterday.Xu Xiuqin was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, feeling very comfortable.She is pregnant now, she had a terrible nausea before, and now she wants to eat anything, and can eat anything.

"Mu'er, what's going on with Ruixiu? Why don't you ask him to come home?"

"He has a good relationship with Uncle Ji's family. They stay together during the holidays. I asked him before, and he said he would come to our house after dinner."

Master Ji is close to his eldest brother, and he has been supported many times when he entered the official career. He also remembers this friendship. Ji Ruixiu's lineage is the only one left in Ji's elder brother's family, and his cousin also takes good care of him.

"It should be so." Lin Sheng returned while killing the chicken.

Lin Mu put the pork in the stove, and the three of them had breakfast after Lin Sheng cleaned it up.

As the night gradually approached, the smell of meat was everywhere in the village, and the children who came out to play couldn't help but go home early.

There are only three people in Lin Mu's family, and there is not much food, but there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish.Lin Sheng also prepared a small jug of wine. Lin Mu doesn't drink well, but he can have a few sips with him anyway.

"I'm so happy today. By this time next year, there will be four people in our family."

While Lin Sheng was drinking, he didn't forget to serve Xu Xiuqin some food. Xu Xiuqin touched her slightly protruding belly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop her smile.Lin Mu was also happy. Seeing his father and mother loving each other, he couldn't help but think of Ji Ruixiu. They will get married at the Bonfire Festival two years later. It's great, it's great to meet him.

The family ate happily, and it wasn't long before Ji Ruixiu came to the door with a bunch of things.Seeing her, Xu Xiuqin inevitably said something again, telling him not to keep bringing things home.Because of Lin Mu, Ji Ruixiu became a little closer to Lin Sheng and his wife, and he was not so blunt when talking to Xu Xiuqin.

The four of them talked for a while. It was cold at night, so they put on some clothes and closed the door to the village square.

At this moment, the nine-foot-high torch has been lit, and all the people in the village, old and young, are gathered here, and it is very lively.After a while, an old man sang an ancient ballad, and people gathered together and danced, with happy smiles on their faces.

After watching the excitement for a while, Lin Mu was taken back to Ji's house by Ji Ruixiu. A torch was also set up in the courtyard of Ji's house. At the moment, several servants were talking and laughing around there.

Lin Mu followed Ji Ruixiu to the backyard. Ji Ruixiu went back to his room and took out the red wolf cloak he ordered that day, and put it on Lin Mu himself.Under the light, Lin Mu looked even better in the red cloak. Ji Ruixiu stared at him infatuatedly. After a while, he lowered his head and grabbed Lin Mu's mouth, and kissed him delicately.

Lin Mu was stroking the soft fur on the cloak when he was suddenly kissed, and was a little dazed for a while.But gradually, he became addicted to Ji Ruixiu's tenderness and couldn't extricate himself.He wrapped his arms around Ji Ruixiu's waist, responding to Ji Ruixiu's deep love.

The Ji family's house is built very high, sitting on the roof, they can clearly see the excitement in the square.

Lin Mu leaned against Ji Ruixiu's arms. In the distance, the torches on the square became brighter and brighter, and the laughter spread far away. The starry sky tonight is also extremely beautiful, and the embrace of his lover is so warm. Lin Mu really feels deep happiness .

He thought, no matter where he came from, in short, thanks to the secret arrangement, let him live in Qinghe Village, Sansheng is lucky, get the care of Lin Sheng and his wife, and meet the love of his life.
