Traveling through the Lishu to farm the fields

Fu Nian's house was built slowly, and it was completed before the big cold.The layout of the house is similar to that of most people in the village. Three big houses were built according to the pattern of the front yard, and several wing rooms were built on each side to connect with the three big houses in the front yard. As for the previous three thatched huts, Now it has become the backyard, the thatched hut is short and leaky, and the things are cleaned up, and the empty hut is kept to raise livestock and poultry.The size of the whole house is almost the same as that of Li Shu's house, and it is another big house after Li Shu's house meeting.Because of this incident, people in the village realized that Liu Jia was really a man who could make money, and he was often nagged by some people.Jialiu was not in a hurry to move into the house, and waited for Fu Nian and Fu Nian's grandma to arrange all the objects in the house, and the daily necessities were also arranged one by one, and the moisture in the house was completely removed before it was hot. The lively people in the village were invited to have a drink.

Li Shu also went, because he was afraid of trouble, so he didn't bring the two little ones with him, and went alone with Shen Shen and his wife.Li Shu didn't care how much gift money was given by others, Li Shu only cared that he planned to give a lot of gift money in private.

When Li Shu arrived at Fu Nian's new home, he saw that Jialiu was like ordinary village men, wearing brand-new old-fashioned cotton-padded clothes and trousers, standing at the door to greet the guests, Li Shu's eyes were a little complicated.Did this person really put down the "butcher knife"?That's fine, watching Jialiu deal with Nian is not without feeling.Li Shu handed over the gift money, followed Nanny Shen and his wife into the house, and sat quietly in his seat.

At the banquet, everyone laughed, ate, drank and chatted, talking about some parents' gossip, talking about how much food the family harvested this year, and talking about how many seeds will be planted in the spring next year...

Naturally, Li Shu's table was full of husbands, everyone was chatting about their parents, and Li Shu added a word or two from time to time.At the banquet, Fu Nian's grandmother announced that Jialiu and Fu Nian would get married on the 26th of the real month.At this time, few people in every household are busy, either the relatives have finished leaving, or the relatives have finished leaving.Everyone applauded loudly and congratulated, and waited for another glass of wedding wine when the time came.

The meal lasted until mid-afternoon, Shen Nai and some other mothers stayed to help, Fu Dahe met some men and went home.Left and right Li Shu had nothing to do, so he stayed to do chores and planned to go back with Shen Momo.While Li Shu was doing his work, he chatted with Fu Nian for a few words, nothing more than words of congratulations, which made Fu Nian's smiling face turn red.When Li Shu saw Jialiu, Li Shu talked to him a lot, most of which were to persuade Jialiu that since he had the intention to settle down, he should wholeheartedly take care of Fu Nian, his grandfather, his grandson, and his grandson, don't think about it. Other strife.Jialiu understood and told Li Shu that he knew what to do and what not to do.Li Shu thinks that if this is the case, that's good.When everything was almost packed, Li Shu returned home with Nanny Shen.

Soon, the day of New Year's Eve came again.

On the [-]th day, every household prepared enough goods for the new year, prepared a large table of delicious dishes, and celebrated the new year happily.Li Shu's family is no exception.

Early in the morning, Li Shu and Liu Momo got up, tidied up the house and the ingredients for the dishes to be served for the New Year's Eve dinner.One of the must-have fried dumplings, there are radish meat, lotus root meat, mushroom fish meat and so on.It takes a lot of time to make fried dumplings, so you have to prepare early.Li Shu and Liu Momo had already mixed those stuffings last night. After one night, the ones fried in the pan became softer and tasted better.Some people come together to make rice cakes and deep-fried dumplings.Li Shu's family didn't make rice cakes anymore, because no one knew how to make them, so he just fried them well.

Although Fu Shan was missing in the family, fortunately, the two little ones would make a fuss, and it was full of New Year's spirit at the moment.It wasn't too late for the two little guys to get up. After their parents put on their clothes, shoes, hats and gloves, they ran happily into the yard and became crazy.Li Shu asked Liu Momo to make these gloves, and many people in the village saw them and liked them very much, and then followed suit. All of a sudden, Fuhong Village became a craze for gloves, and almost every household had a pair of them.Children have to wear them when they go out to play. Many children are running and jumping in the snow with cute colorful gloves, making snowmen, and having snowball fights. They have a great time, and their little hands are always warm.Adults also wear them when they go out. Unlike the fancy gloves of children, adults are basically gray and dark, and some young brothers use some bright colors.

Early in the morning, the two little guys followed their parents and Liu Memo to paste couplets and window grilles. When Li Shu and Liu Memo were busy making dumplings in the kitchen again, the two little guys went around the kitchen again. He kept on talking, waiting for Yuanzi to come out of the pot, then yelled at Li Shu for Yuanzi to eat.Li Shu hilariously took one and put it in his hand. The hot two little guys exchanged their palms back and forth, and then stuffed it into their mouths before it cooled down. Hot steam came out of his little mouth.Liu Momo had smelled the aroma coming from the pot long ago, and couldn't wait to pick up a hot dumpling and taste one. It tasted very good, and he ate several more in succession. After that, he grabbed another handful and brought it to the Under the stove, eating dumplings while burning the fire.The two little guys were not polite, they put a small plate and took it outside to eat.Li Shu also tasted it, and it was only at this time of the year that he could eat it hot and delicious just out of the pan.

In the evening, people started to set off firecrackers one after another.Li Shu's family also went early this year, eating New Year's Eve dinner earlier than ordinary families.

The whole Li Shu's New Year's Eve dinner was in the hands of Li Shucao, and Liu Momo was the fire.Fortunately, Liu Memo's fire control technology has improved a lot. Now, with Li Shu's cooperation, the food cooked is full of color, fragrance and taste.

At this time, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour fish, crystal elbow, farm dumplings, steamed sausage, shredded steamed fish, spicy chicken feet, fried prawns, old hen soup, fried cabbage, and dry pot are placed in order on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall. Baby dishes, and a hot pot, with some materials on the side, tofu, cabbage, cabbage, beef slices, lamb rolls, etc.There are twelve dishes on a big table. Originally, Li Shu wanted to cook more, but Liu Momo stopped him in time. There are only four people in the family, and two small ones. How much food can be eaten? , the rest is not fresh.Li Shu felt that what Liu Momo said was very reasonable, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing.Li Shu placed the wine glasses on the table and poured the baijiu, just a little in the glass, because no one at home drank baijiu, and then set up the bowls and chopsticks, with the same little rice in the bowls. no.These are prepared because the ancestors will be invited later.There is a custom here that the ancestors must be invited to the New Year's Eve dinner, and the family members can only eat after the ancestors have finished eating.There is also the saying of sending off the ancestors on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Then Li Shu went to the yard, burned paper and set off firecrackers, and waited for a few minutes.

The ancestors invited them, and after the meal, Li Shu's family came to the table for the New Year's Eve dinner.At the dinner table, Li Shu put away the white wine and poured it together, and brought four glasses and poured half a glass of wine for each of them, even the two little guys had a share.The family had a great time eating and drinking. Li Shu and Liu Momo took care of a little guy, and each made their favorite dishes.The two little guys like to eat hot pot, especially lamb and beef.Li Shu ordered a large pot, and after waiting, the four of them shared the meal.During the period, the two little guys also said New Year's greetings to their father and Liu Memo, which were all taught by Li Shu.But Li Shu was still very happy, and gave each of the two little guys a big red envelope.Under Li Shu's education, the two little guys already knew the concept of money. Knowing that they got money that could buy a lot of things, they were very happy. They carefully hid it and waited for it later after eating. Take it to your room and lock it in the small vault.

Liu Momo also generously gave the two little fellows a richer red envelope than Li Shu.The money was still earned by Liu Meme from doing embroidery work in the town. These jobs were introduced by the villagers, and Liu Meme borrowed the money when she saw that it was more cost-effective.Li Shu objected, fearing that Liu Momo would hurt his eyes, and the family was not short of money.It was Liu Momo who tried his best to do it, and promised to do less, so Li Shu agreed.At this moment, the two little guys got two big red envelopes at once, their little mouths were cracked with joy, and they looked like they were greedy for money.It made Li Shu and Liu Momo laugh for a while.

The four of them ate, drank and chatted for a while before ending the New Year's Eve dinner.After the meal, it was still early in the morning, and the west was still pale. The two little guys went to play at Nanny Shen's house next door. They probably went to find Uncle Danzi to play with small artillery and set off fireworks.Li Shu and Liu Memo cleaned up the dining table and kitchen.When it was getting dark, Li Shu took the two little guys home, took a comfortable hot bath for the two little guys, put on the new clothes and shoes made by Liu Momo, and dried them in the fire barrel in the hall. fire.On the table are beef jerky, melon seeds candies and some new year's goods.Afterwards, Li Shu and Liu Momo also took hot baths one after another, put on new clothes and shoes, and the four of them sat around the table in a fire bucket to warm up the fire, eating New Year's goods, and chatting about homework.

These fire buckets were specially made by Li Shu's in-law Wang Carpenter. There were four of them, one for each member of the family.The structure is very simple, the outside is similar to a wooden barrel for bathing, but it is shorter and narrower than the bath barrel.Half of the inside is covered with iron folds, which are circular iron nets welded with iron and steel bars.Then put a brazier underneath, burning red charcoal inside, then cover with some unburned charcoal, and finally cover with plant ash to control the temperature.Just put the cask on it to create a do-it-yourself position.People can sit on the wooden barrel and put their feet on the iron folds to warm the fire.

After a while, the eyes of the two little guys rolled. Li Shu and Nanny Liu hugged the two little guys to bed, covered the quilts, and put the two little guys to sleep.And Li Shu and Liu Mama continued to return to the hall to watch the new year.The oil lamp on the table shone brightly, illuminating the four walls. Li Shu and Liu Momo continued to light the fire and chat.

Every house is bright, just like this prosperous New Year.
