Chapter 570: New Year
After burning paper and firecrackers, a group of people went down the mountain and returned to the village.
The threshing field at the edge of the village has been set up with dense food tables, in addition to the eight immortal tables provided by each family, there are also five or six special large long tables, which are more than ten meters long.
Monkey Si is the chef of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, taking everyone busy with this banquet, looking very excited.
The makeshift cooks flipped the pots and spoons, the fireworks rose from the stove, and the squeaky sound of the iron pan under the boiling oil was followed by a burst of oily smoke.
Some of the women were picking vegetables neatly and helping with the ingredients, and everyone had a smile on their faces, which was a lively atmosphere that had not been seen in previous years.
For them, happiness is actually very simple. You don't have to work in the fields, you don't have to worry about your family's livelihood, you have plenty of food, and you can get together and talk.
Everything in the village is undoubtedly thriving now, and life is only getting better. In particular, Lin Haoran's Dinghai God Needle made them have the confidence to speak, and at the same time they had an incomparably strong "sense of security".
When they saw Lin Haoran leading everyone back to the village, they were even more excited, but they didn't dare to say hello to Lin Haoran, the prefect, and Aunt Chunhua, who was the leader, waved the tiger girl over.
Hu Niu does not have the rudeness of the eldest lady of the official family, she is a little girl with an upright temperament, and she can't hide words in her stomach at all. In the same way, many women like to ask her about things and follow her in their daily routines.
"It's coming!"
The tiger girl responded crisply, and walked over with her little short legs.
Lin Haoran looked at the tiger girl who ran away, and knew that this was going to return to the mountains and forests, and this girl would inevitably return to her wild nature and become the child king of Changlin Village.
His hut has been renovated and has become a good house with blue bricks and white walls. After changing into ordinary scholar's clothes at home, he is ready to go to the clan elders and talk about some parents' shortcomings.
just walked to the edge of the barn, but saw Lin Dahu kneeling in the courtyard of the old patriarch with his wife and daughter, looking like he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes. The second tiger who was carrying things was stopped and not allowed to enter, and the eldest aunt wiped her tears there, as if she was helping to intercede.
Lin Haoran came back this time, Lin Dahu walked with many clansmen, and these clansmen who became pirates chose to secretly come back for the Spring Festival this year. It's just that Lin Dahu is very unlucky, and the old patriarch doesn't seem to want to forgive him.
It's just that Lin Haoran knows that the old patriarch is soft-hearted, and the eldest aunt is pleading on the side, so he doesn't plan to interfere, knowing that things will inevitably develop for the better.
He walked to the elder, and after saluting, he sat down and listened to the elder talk about the affairs of the village.
A clan veteran brought over an older boy dressed as a scholar, saying that his grandson had been praised by his husband and was an excellent seedling for reading. The general meaning is that Lin Haoran deepens his impression of his grandson, or guides him a sentence or two.
Lin Haoran naturally knew what to do, asked about some teaching matters, and then said a few words of encouragement. The older boy replied nervously, and the patriarch was as happy as if he had drunk.
The power of the list is endless, and today's Changlin Village no longer believes in the "uselessness of reading", but changes to "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and almost all the children are sent to Qingshan College to study, whether it is reading material or not.
Bang!
On the grass by the barn, a firecracker exploded, and a cannon rang out.
I saw a large group of children playing with firecrackers there, and one of them was a tiger-headed little girl who was particularly outstanding. She was dressed in a bright unicorn suit, with firecrackers stuffed in her pockets, and she was holding a burning incense in her ears.
Tiger Girl has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and many children in this village are looking forward to her return, and now that they are together, the children of this village are simply a torrent, showing their destructive power.
"Tiger girl, let's go to the river and fry fish!" Ergou suggested.
It's just that as soon as the words fell, he heard Jiu Bo next to him hurriedly stop: "Tiger girl, this is about to start, if you want to fry fish, can you go after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" ”
After about a cup of tea, the village women began to serve all kinds of dishes, including common chickens, ducks and geese, fish, shrimp and crabs, and dried seafood.
Lin Haoran sat at the first table, toasting the clansmen, or the clansmen toasting him, and there was nothing to find fault with.
Tiger Girl didn't sit with him, but gathered at the children's table. While the adults were still drinking here, she was already holding a big chicken leg and running around with a large group of children.
After eating, Lin Haoran asked Hu Niu to call her back, so she sent the prepared lai see money down, and specially prepared a big red envelope for Hu Niu.
In fact, he knows that the current tiger girl is already a rich girl, and she is not short of money at all.
It's just that the tiger girl is still very excited to receive the laisee money, and when she receives everyone's laisee money, she will seriously express her gratitude one by one.
"Thank you, Uncle Nineteen! I wish Uncle Nineteen a prosperous official fortune and a noble son! ”
The tiger girls are still like this, and those children are naturally more excited, holding Dali is in their hands to congratulate.
After Lin Haoran finished distributing Laisee, he was already slightly drunk, and after greeting everyone, he went back to the house to rest.
In a daze, the girl from the tiger girl led a group of children in. After confirming that he was fine, he happily took the children to play outside, and sometimes there was a sound of firecrackers.
After sleeping for more than an hour, it was already dark outside.
He fell asleep from his bed, and the noise outside was still constant. Although I didn't hear the voice of the tiger girl, I would sometimes hear the child shouting the name of "tiger girl", as if there were some little girls everywhere.
Sometimes, he had to admire the energy of this little girl, as if she would never get tired of playing.
When he arrived in the yard, he saw Ali bathing Xiaobai, and jokingly asked her to get hot water for herself, only to get a shy and disgusted look. Looking at Xiaobai, who had been sorted out, he immediately knew that this Japanese woman was crooked.
Lin Yuanbao was waiting in the house, so he prepared hot water for Lin Haoran.
After taking a comfortable bath and changing into a clean scholar's suit, he walked to the barn. Seeing a lot of lanterns hung up, as well as the headlights that the tiger girl specially brought back from Leizhou City, a large group of young people were still drinking and chatting there, which looked full of New Year's flavor.
In the middle of the night, strings of firecrackers crackled on the ground, and bunches of fireworks exploded for half a day.
In this night sky with the smell of gunsmoke, the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing is coming, and the tiger girl is eight years old!
