The Prestigious Family’s Young lady and the Farmer

The sacrifice to the Kitchen God will start after the evening. After Yao Shi finished cooking, he took Lin Qingwan to the outside room, leaving only Yang Tiegen and Yang Tiezhu in the cubicle.

The small cubicle has been used as a kitchen since the second and third rooms were separated. It can also be regarded as a kitchen. After all, the stove for cooking was built, but Yang Tiegen specially bought a kitchen god statue and attached it to the wall of the cubicle. superior.

In the past, Lin Qingwan didn't understand why she put up the stove statue, but now she understands after hearing what Yao Shi said. It turns out that the sacrifice to the Kitchen God not only requires offerings, but also kitchen sugar to seal the Kitchen God's mouth. After the Kitchen God is delivered, the Kitchen God statue will be burned.

Lin Qingwan asked why she couldn't watch from the side, and she didn't understand why until Yao shi explained it to her. It turns out that there is a custom here, 'men do not worship the moon, and women do not sacrifice to the kitchen', and women cannot sacrifice to the god of the kitchen.

Lin Qingwan pouted, thinking that this is clearly discriminating against the majority of working women!

After a while, Yang Tiezhu and Yang Tiegen came out. Yang Tiegen took out a newly bought portrait of the Kitchen God and posted it to the place where the Kitchen God statue was posted in the small cubicle.

Then, a few talents began to bring the food to the kang table to prepare for dinner.

Chapter 67

Twenty-three is the twenty-fourth, and the twenty-fourth is the cleaning day.

After Lin Qingwan and Mrs Yang got up in the morning and had dinner, they started cleaning the house. Cleaned the house inside and out, and cleaned the pots and pans. It seems that the main room is also cleaning the house, and Wang is busy going in and out by himself.

Everyone was busy all day, and even Yang Tiezhu went in and out to attack Lin Qingwan. When it was time for dinner at night, there was a noise from the main room.

Wang's voice was extremely high and seemed to be very excited, with He's voice interspersed in the middle.

Sitting in the second room, I couldn't hear it very clearly. Maybe because of the cold weather, there were curtains on the doors, and the doors were still closed.

Lin Qingwan could only vaguely hear what Mrs Wang said about 'pig', feeding for a year, 'meat', etc. Mrs He couldn't really hear her voice.

The four adults sitting in the room to eat looked at each other, and Yao shi said in a low voice, Mother may want to sell the pig, but my sister-in-law doesn't want it.

Seeing that all three people looked at her, and even the two little girls looked at her, she blushed and quickly added, I saw my mother asked the elder brother to invite the pig butcher in the village today, and the elder sister-in-law came out to run the money. After a few words, the butcher is gone again.

Lin Qingwan bit her chopsticks, which meant that the He family was going to sell the pigs in the family and would not kill pigs this year?

Luoxia Village has the habit of slaughtering pigs after the 23rd. Generally, when slaughtering pigs, they invite people close to them to eat slaughtering pigs. Like Mr. Yang said two days ago, wait for twenty-six to invite them over to eat slaughtered pig rice.

The poor villagers in Luoxia Village usually invite their close family members to eat pig-killing rice. They only keep some pork that is enough for the Chinese New Year. . Only those whose families are extremely poor or whose families are relatively stingy will not even kill pigs, but sell whole pigs directly to butchers. The meaning of selling the whole pig is also very obvious, that is, the family is not going to eat meat for the Chinese New Year.

This is an extremely disgraceful thing, and the He family will also be gān?

It's really hard to say. He is ruthless to others, but also to himself. You said that she was always digging, and she didn't see herself enjoying anything. Even if she occasionally opened a small stove behind her back, it was for Yang Xuezhang. He usually eats the same meals with his family.

Thinking about Yang Xuezhang's marriage, several people in the room were silent. It seemed that He was saving money for marriage with Yang Xuezhang. No wonder he didn't even eat pork this year.

But what does He have to do with them whether he kills the New Year pig? They can eat meat because of their hard work.

We split up in the first year, do you want to give it a New Year's gift? Yao Shi paused, and then said, I met my sister-in-law in the yard today, and my sister-in-law told me several times that the family split up and gave it to the old man. As a New Year's gift, I guess she told me about it.

Lin Qingwan blinked her ignorant eyes, and what about Li Yi last year? What do you mean?

Yao explained, Generally, for children who have separated from their families, every year when the New Year is approaching, the old man will prepare some New Year's gifts for the old man.

Both Yang Tiezhu and Yang Tiegen know this statement. Although their parents are not separated, this is not always the case in the village. There are also a few households that are separated when their parents are there, but generally the elderly live with the eldest son. Then other young people will give the old people a New Year's gift during the Chinese New Year. Regardless of whether the love is still there or not, after all, the rules are there, so as not to fall into other people's words. It was Lin Qingwan who came here for a short time, so she didn't know this.

So, should we have a New Year's Eve?

Four people, you look at me and I look at you.

Lin Qingwan pondered for a while and asked, What are the gifts for the old people in the last year?

This depends on the family's economic conditions, usually one or two catties of pork, and two jars of wine for the elderly to drink. If the family is richer, make two clothes or something.

Lin Qingwan thought for a while, then said, Well, what they do is not authentic, we can't be small and learn well, give them a New Year's gift, just cut a piece of meat, just a pound, and buy a jar of wine. After all, our life is 'not easy' now, and we just gave the family support from last year. As for the rest, there is nothing else, and it's okay to go there with etiquette.

The other three knew what she meant. Do things before people, lest those who are worthless go out to say. Even if people's mouths are blocked, they also end up in peace. There is such a rule in the village, and they follow. No, don't think about anything over there.

Yao Shi also nodded and said, Okay, it should be

We do our best to be filial, but there is not much anyway.

Daughter-in-law, you are so kind! Yang Tiezhu said. It's not that Yang Tiezhu is still thinking about the main room or something, but he thinks that Wanwan is doing things upright and people can't pick out any faults.

Women are rarely careless, at least Yang Tiezhu thinks in a different position. After doing so many chilling things in the main room, it is already heart-wrenching that his daughter-in-law can still promise to give the New Year's gift there so crisply. Very broad man.

Although Yang Tiegen did not speak, he also expressed the same meaning in Yao Shi's eyes.

Lin Qingwan and Yao shi were a little embarrassed to be looked at by their own man. They can indeed be said to be relatively broad-minded, but the most important reason is that they are afraid of trouble.

Adding it up is only a matter of dozens of pennies, so why let someone say it, and then you can find it unhappy for yourself afterwards?

No matter how unkind the old man is, the younger generation still has to fulfill their obligations, even if it is to be seen by others. They have nothing to say about what they always do, and people outside know that they won't poke their spines.

This is how Lin Qingwan is. She has always been upright and fair in her conduct and actions, and she is always in front of others. You have done everything you need to do, and you are not afraid of being unreasonable. Even if it is because of helplessness and scheming means, it will never cheat people secretly, but put everything in front of you and let you choose for yourself. The choice is good or bad, it is also made by you, and you can't blame others.

Just like when the family split up, she just released rumors that imitated the two, and the right to choose is all in the hands of those in the main room. If the He and the others had changed their choices, things would not have been the way they are now. She left room for those people in the main room to choose, who knew that the selfishness of human nature was really so terrifying.

Otherwise, the dog can't change to eat shit, it's the same as He's, and it's the same as Yang's. The same thing, with different people, is completely two results. If Xia Dacheng was He's son, and returned to his hometown in such a desolate way, I'm afraid that He's would have driven people out of the house long ago, while others, Yang's, would choose to help each other in the same boat.

Family, family, what is family? That is, no matter how hard it is, we can bear it together and experience it together. In the same way, with blessing and sweetness, enjoy it together.

A few people agreed to stop thinking about other things, and all ate their meals with their bowls in their hands. In contrast to the harmonious and harmonious scene here, the noise from the main room has not stopped.

After dinner, the three-bedroom and the couple went back to the house. Lin Qingwan was also about to fall asleep. There was still Wang's clamor from the main room.

As for who won the fight that night, Lin Qingwan didn't know, because she fell asleep later. Anyway, in the early morning of the next day, the He family brought in the butcher to sell the big fat pig at home.

Until the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the second family and the third family were going to eat pork-killing rice at Yang's place, they could still see Wang's big black face in the courtyard.

********

Compared with the depression and silence in the Yang family's courtyard, the Yang family's small courtyard was extremely lively.

When Lin Qingwan and the others went, there were already many people standing in the yard.

In Luoxia Village, Mrs. Yang is popular and kind, and she doesn't like to gossip like some women, so there are many people who have a good relationship with her.

Of course, it's not only because of the killing of pigs that the Yang family invited everyone to eat pig-killing rice, but Yang's has other purposes. So she invited a lot of people, even Lizheng and some other respected old people in the village.

As soon as Lin Qingwan and the others walked in, many people greeted Yang Tiezhu.

Is Tie Zhu hurt?

How is it, your injury is not serious, you can go to the ground so soon?

...

Yang Tiezhu raised his bandaged arm and said, Everywhere else is pretty much better, but the arm still can't move...

Most of the villagers in Luoxia Village are quite kind. Knowing that Yang Tiezhu's arm is crippled, they didn't say anything nasty.

The pig butcher and a few strong young men over there were about to start killing pigs. Lin Qingwan and some timid women hid in the house.

Don't look at the fact that eating pork is fine, but Lin Qingwan who kills pigs is reluctant to watch it. She is afraid that she will not be able to eat pork again after watching it.

It was noisy outside, but a group of young daughters-in-law gathered together to talk.

Today, Yang's younger brother Yang Er's family is also here. Nie Ertang's sister-in-law, who I met when we got married last time, came to Lin Qingwan's side and said, Qingwan, I heard from the eldest aunt that you have a body?

Lin Qingwan smiled at Nie Ertangsao, then nodded shyly.

Oh, Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law is there so soon?

What's the matter? It's been a while since people got married. It's time to have them.
