???? Such expensive fabrics, their family has never had it!

???? Such a horse is enough for their family's fabric expenses for half a year.

???? "Brother Tie Qing sent it. I thought it was a piece of fine cotton cloth." So he accepted it, but after opening it, he was confused.

???? This is indeed his favorite material and color.

???? But it's so expensive, he thinks it shouldn't be accepted.

???? But old Aunt Xiao rolled her eyes: "You accept it first, Tieqing boy... Mother has her own reasons, don't tell your father."

???? "Oh, yes, mother." Brother Xiao nodded obediently.

???? After going out, Aunt Xiao stroked her chest, muttered a few words to herself, and then went to her bedroom. Uncle Xiao was laying out the kang, put the quilt on it, and was going to rest.

???? "What did you do? What's wrong with Brother Xiao?"

???? "I didn't do anything, the child wanted to make two more clothes for us, I said it was enough to wear, not to mention that we will be young soon, and we can't do needlework during the first month."

???? "It's so late, why are you doing needlework? Watch out for your eyes." Muttering, Old Boss Xiao took off his clothes and lay down.

????Old Aunt Xiao blew out the candle, took off her clothes and lay down under the blanket.

???? "Master, what do you think of Iron Boy?"

???? "How about it?"

???? "That's right, how is he doing?"

???? "It's pretty good, but it's not good to spend money lavishly. If you get married in the future, you probably won't change your nature." Old boss Xiao said angrily: "I don't know if people who save money can have What a good life? Now I drink and eat meat, what will my wife and children eat in the future? What will I drink? He is still a hunter. Although a temporary refugee was sent here this year, when the land is divided next year, he is a bachelor. No, not even relatives, how much land can a single-handed farmer get? What's more, with nothing in hand, how can I farm?"

????Once Aunt Xiao heard this, she stopped talking.

???? Afterwards, Old Chief Xiao fell asleep.

???? But old Aunt Xiao didn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

???? But no matter how tangled she is, it's time to be young.

???? The countryside in the Northeast is not as troublesome as it is in the South, but in this era, there is still the habit of sending the Stove Lord to heaven.

????Old Xiao's family worships the stove is Old Xiao; Tie Qing has no home, and the Stove Lord here has no role.

????The Stove Lord has stayed at home since the New Year's Eve of the previous year to protect and monitor the family; The ceremony of the Kitchen God is called "Sending the Kitchen" or "Resigning from the Kitchen".

???? According to the report of the Stove Lord, the Jade Emperor handed over to the Stove Lord the fate of good and bad luck that the family should receive in the new year.Therefore, for the family, the Stove Lord's report is really of great interest.There is also a custom among the Han people that "men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the stove", so worshiping the stove is limited to men.

????Women and brothers are not qualified to sacrifice to the stove!

????So if a family has no son, but only brothers and daughters, it will be called "Daozao", which means that the family is finished and scattered.

????Old Xiao's family didn't have a son. Whoever asked their son to join the army, there was no news as soon as he went.

???? There is only one Xiao Geer in the family, so many people secretly say that their family is going to "turn the stove"!

???? But Uncle Xiao himself was meticulous in offering sacrifices to the stove. He chose the biggest rooster in the house. In the kitchen, the god of the Stove Lord was pasted, and wrote "Eastern Chef Master of Life", "God of Supervisors in the World", " The head of the family" and other words to indicate the status of the Kitchen God.

???? Pasted on both sides of the couplet "God says good things, the lower realms keep safe" to bless the safety of the whole family.

????In the niche cage placed in front, there are also candies and fried cakes bought at home.

????When offering sacrifices to the stove, the person who worshiped the stove, Uncle Xiao, knelt in front of the statue of the stove master, holding a rooster in his arms.

???? It is said that the chicken is the horse on which Lord Zao ascended to heaven, so the chicken is not called a chicken, but a horse.If it is a red rooster, it is commonly known as "red horse", and if it is a white rooster, it is commonly known as "white horse".

???? After burning the incense table, the house is filled with smoke, full of mystery.

????Old Uncle Xiao poured wine and kowtowed his head, muttering something in his mouth: "It is said in ancient times that on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God wants to talk about things. The clouds, cars, horses and horses hang around, and there are cups and plates at home. The pig's head is overcooked Pisces is fresh, bean paste and sweet pine powder bait balls. The man offers his daughter to avoid, pours wine and burns money to the stove Junxi. The maidservant fights against the Lord, and the cat and dog touch the filth, and the Lord is not angry. Send you drunk and full to the gate of heaven. The spoon is long and the spoon is short Don't go back to the cloud, begging for profit points."

????The appearance is pious, like a magic stick, and the ashen face that secretly watched the sacrifice stove with Brother Xiao is not very good-looking, it seems to be mentally ill!

???? After reading, Old Xiao Xiao shouted "lead"!

???? Then pour the wine over the chicken head.

???? It is said that if the chicken head flutters loudly, it means that the kitchen master has appreciated it.

???? If the chicken head does not move at all, it needs to be watered again.

???? But Uncle Xiao licked the neck of the big cock, what else is it doing?

???? And Uncle Xiao killed the big rooster, and wiped the mouth of the Stove Lord with a sugar ball, which means to invite the Stove Lord to eat and drink, bribe the Stove God, let him be drunk to the sky, don't talk about the good and bad of the world, when he comes back It is best to bring some money to share. The sacrifice to the stove is not only to avoid disasters, but more importantly, to pray for blessings.

???? Then respectfully and politely shoveled down the picture of the Kitchen God, and burned the image of the Kitchen God together with the paper-made horse, praying for him to perform more good deeds in front of the Jade Emperor and bless the family safety.

????When the pictures are burned, the offerings will be shared with the family members. This is eating "offering fruit", which is an auspicious food that can keep the whole family healthy.

????Old Chief Xiao generously shared Tie Qing's fruit offerings. Although Tie Qing was not from his own family, he was able to share food offerings, which showed that Old Xiao boss regarded him as one of his own.

????After the young year, the folks believe that "the gods are evil in the sky, and there are no taboos", and there is no need to choose a date for marriage. It can be from 23 days to [-] days before.

???? Therefore, there are quite a lot of people holding wedding ceremonies at this time, and there are also many people in Yushu Village holding weddings. The first one is Lao Liu's family, Liu Laosan's family. The good brother is the husband.

????Although Tie Qing has no friendship with Liu Xiaosan'er, let alone Liang Geer, but Old Xiao Boss still took him to the wedding: "If you send ten or eight copper coins, it's considered acquaintance , You are welcome to eat, come back when you are full!"

???? "Is this appropriate?" Tie Qing didn't want to join in the fun at all.

???? "Appropriate, why not?" Old Uncle Xiao said: "You follow the gift, why don't you eat? Eat as much as you are full. If it is not enough, I will ask Liu Laosan to serve."

???? Tie Qing remembered that the old Liu's family had an enmity with the old Xiao's family!

???? The reason is that Liu Xiaosan'er forced Xiao Geer to marry him back then, and also wanted all the belongings of the old Xiao family.

???? As a result, boss Xiao didn't agree, and Brother Xiao didn't want to marry him either.

???? Tie Qing felt uncomfortable: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

???? As a result, after going there, I found out that Liu Laosan’s family was quite stingy. The son married his husband instead of his daughter-in-law. Liu Laosan’s wife was unhappy, so the wedding banquet was reluctantly held. The third family gave Brother Liang a dowry gift of 20 taels of silver, four bolts of fine cotton and eight bolts of burlap, and also bought two silver hairpins for Liang Geer.

???? As a result, Brother Liang brought two new clothes, two sets of quilts as a dowry, and a silver hairpin on his head, nothing else, but on Brother Liang's mother's head, There is a new silver hairpin on it.
