I farmed in ancient times

Early the next morning, Jueming got up, made breakfast and pushed open the courtyard door. Snow covered Damo Township, and the whole world was covered in white.

The snow had stopped in the middle of the night. Cassia stepped on the ground, and the snow was only up to the ankles, not deep.

According to the custom, the neighbors in the neighborhood visit each other. It was only a few years since the Cen family came here, and most of the people in the village did not know each other. They only went to two families they knew well, and then visited the homes of the Lizheng, the elder, and the head of the household.

People in the village wished each other New Year's greetings, and Jue Ming followed Father Cen around twice before returning home.

As the master of Damo Township, not long after Cen Daonian came home, there was an endless stream of people who came to say hello to him, most of them were the parents of students, and some wanted to take the opportunity to ask Master Cen if he could let children from relatives from other villages come to Damo next year. Go to school in the countryside.

Mr. Cen cleverly avoided this problem and threw the ball to Lizheng. This matter only counted if Lizheng nodded, and he would not do it for him.

Those who celebrated the Chinese New Year also went up the mountain to pray to the mountain god to bless the weather this year. If it wasn't for Uncle Shi's inconvenient legs, he would be the first to go.

The house was full of people, and Jue Ming was too lazy to deal with it. After preparing tea and cakes, he sneaked out and went to the backyard to look at the vegetables grown in the cold winter wind.

Emerald green onions and garlic are lined up in the corner, and radishes, cabbages, and spinach are planted in the middle.

There are few dishes in winter, so Cassia can only work hard on eating.

Long before the Chinese New Year, after buying pork at home, Jueming set up a shelf in the backyard, went up the mountain and cut down a lot of pine branches, hung the marinated meat on the shelf, and lit the pine branches below to smoke slowly. , smoked into bacon.

The sausage was too troublesome to make, and Jueming didn't know how to stuff the meat into the casing, so he only made bacon.

At noon, the villagers still said that the family had prepared a meal, and invited the master to have a light meal at home. Ann was also taken away.

Cassia chatted at Uncle Shi's house and escaped, but at noon, Aunt Shi held him down and asked him to sit on a chair and have a good rest, and taste the handicrafts of Shi's family.

The lunch on the first day of junior high school was all about big fish and big meat. Aunt Shi took Shi Xiaohua to work in the kitchen for a long time, and put ten plates of soup and vegetables on the table, implying perfection.

Aunt Shi's food was delicious, delicious, and even better than Caesar's own cooking.

Shi's family and Cen's family have no relatives in Yang County, and they both stayed at home from the second to the fourteenth day of junior high.

The village at the foot of the mountain was very lively, and those who came or went to visit relatives wore thick clothes and carried gifts to and fro.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, not long after lunch, the unmarried girls in the village gathered together to discuss what to wear when going to see the lanterns at night.

It was not evening yet, and they walked together to the town behind the people who went to watch the lanterns in the village.

All of them had pretty faces, their steps were brisk and nimble, and laughter was spread all the way.

Uncle Shi's leg was almost healed, the blood scabs from the wound fell off, leaving a scar that looked scary, except that the flesh inside would still hurt when pressed on the wound, and normal walking was not affected at all.

Seeing that his daughter wanted to see the lantern so much, Uncle Shi wanted to take Aunt Shi to accompany his daughter, but Aunt Shi refused.

Said that there are too many people, and I have twins, so I won’t go, and I will go with my little doll next year.

Uncle Shi took Xiao Hua to meet the villagers. When she met her close friends, Xiao Hua immediately walked over with big strides, holding their arms, and chatting chatteringly for a while from the town to the county.

Taking advantage of the spare time, Uncle Shi stuffed his precious daughter with a small purse, in which were the scraps of silver and copper plates he specially exchanged, so that Xiaohua could take her shopping with her.

Today, there is no distinction between men and women, and the little ladies who used to stay out of the gate and never walk out of the house are going out today. They are beautifully dressed, walking on the street, with a faint smell of makeup and powder.

Being bored at home for almost half a month, this good opportunity to join in the fun, naturally Caesar would not let it go.

Father Cen also suggested going out for a walk, after tonight, tomorrow will not be the new year.

The father and son got dressed, thinking that it would be very cold when they came back at night, Cen Daonian put on a cloak for Chao An and asked Jue Ming to put it on as well.

Walking to the town, there are also many shops in the town making lanterns. I walked around the town and took a carriage to the county seat.

Far away, the carriage was stuck in a traffic jam, and the driver said helplessly, "Too many people came to the county town to watch the lanterns today! Why don't you get off here? You will be charged five cents less."

Seeing that it took a long time to move in the carriage, all the people in the carriage agreed with the coachman's suggestion, paid the fare and got out of the carriage, and walked along with the crowd pouring into the city.

The lanterns in the county town are much bigger than those in the town. There is a small river in the city, and there are various stalls along both sides of the river, buying lanterns, lanterns, and all kinds of strange things that only come once a year.

There are also many stalls selling oil hammers and lactose balls. Taking advantage of the festive season, the business is extremely hot.

When they arrived in the county, Father Cen took his two sons to a restaurant, picked a table facing the street, and ordered three or four dishes.

Xiaoer took two flower-and-bird landscape screens and placed them on the front and back sides of the table to form a semi-enclosed space.

There was someone throwing punches at the next table, Jue Ming listened curiously for a while, and then his attention was attracted by the pedestrians downstairs again.

After dinner, it was dark, and the county town was brightly lit, like daytime. When I went down the small building, I blended into the crowd. The father and son held each other's hands tightly and started to stroll along the river.

The imagination of folk lanterns is extremely rich, from fairies rising in the wind to peasants working in the fields, they are vividly tied.

There are also many shops that tie the God of Wealth, gold ingots, and barns, and there are tigers and rabbits, and double dragons playing with pearls.

The patterns are different every year, and Chao An stared straight at him. When he walked to a stall selling lanterns, Chao An tugged on his father's sleeve and blinked his eyes wide.

Those little thoughts were all written on his face, Father Cen surrendered softly and asked his youngest son to choose a lamp.

Jueming cheerfully watched his younger brother pick up the lights, but unexpectedly, Father Cen patted him on the shoulder and told him to do the same.

Caesar stood in front of all kinds of lanterns. The styles of the lanterns were all different. The pig lantern was cute, the tiger lantern was staring, and the rabbit lantern was white and cute.

Cassia took a monkey lantern.

He is a monkey.

On the other side, Chao An also picked out a big tiger lantern, saying that it looked very fierce, and it was better than Hu Xiaopang's lantern.

Cen Daonian paid the money with a smile, lit the candle and placed it on the base of the lantern, and told his two sons to be careful when carrying the lantern.

The crowd in front suddenly became agitated, and the two young men hurriedly bumped into Cassia Ming with their shoulders, apologized, and then rushed forward.

The people on the side of the road saw someone rushing there, thinking that there must be something interesting there, so they followed along. The herd mentality caused people not to pay attention to the lanterns, and walked along the crowded crowd.

Being crowded, Cen Daonian and Jueming got farther and farther away, and Jueming pointed to Father Cen in front, and pointed to the bridge on one side so that they could get separated and meet each other.

Father Cen knew what he meant, and wanted to join in the fun and then meet at the bridge, so he nodded and held his youngest son's arm tightly, not to let Chao An go away.

Fearing that too many people would damage the little monkey lantern, Jueming blew out the candles first, and moved forward with the lantern held high.

When I got closer, I realized that there was a little lady in front of her who had separated from her family.

What is there to watch a wandering little lady?Following the flow of people, Caesar came closer and saw a veiled girl standing on a small raised stone platform by the river, with a lily bun on her head and a thin gauze skirt, When the north wind blew, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered, crumbling, and he looked like he was about to cry.

——Isn't she too cold?

Jude thought.

The gauze is only worn during the hottest summer, maybe she has the means to keep warm...

At this moment, the veil around the little lady's ears fell off, and the white tulle was blown up by the wind, causing commotion among the crowd. Before the veil fell, the girl on the stone platform turned around slowly, and everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Cassia was also stunned for a while.

——Liu Dongmei?

Liu Dongmei seems to have put powder on her face today, with a light makeup on. She is beautiful yet glamorous, with excellent looks. Seeing her face, some people choose to leave, and many young people choose to stay where they are.

Thinking about going to find Father Cen, Jue Ming turned around.

"Hey—Cen Jueming—" Liu Dongmei shouted.

Young people asked one after another, "Who is Cen Jueming?"

Cassia paused, frowned and looked back.

Liu Dongmei looked this way, looking as if she was about to fall at any time, she covered the audience and said, "Cen Jueming is from the same village, can you take me back, I got separated from my family."

She spoke as if she was a girl who got separated from her family by accident, met someone from the same village by chance, and wanted to ask the same villager to take her home.

Is she really as simple as she seems?Hearing this, Jue Ming turned around resolutely and pushed out against the crowd.

Liu Dongmei covered her heart and asked sadly: "Cen Jueming, can't you take me back? Just a short distance?"

Following the little fairy's hand, the young man soon found a boy walking out, stopped him effortlessly, and asked why he didn't help the girl in the village.

Especially such a pretty girl.
