Chapter 1354: A Family (Five Watches)
In the yard of her mother's house next door, when Yang Ruoqing sent the Spring Festival couplets over, Yang Huazhong was sweeping the yard.
Daan helped tidy up the tables and chairs in the hall, and Sun was busy preparing dishes for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the backyard.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming in with the Spring Festival couplets, Yang Huazhong was very happy, and quickly put down the broom in his hand and came over to take the Spring Festival couplets.
"Qing'er, don't you really come to Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight?" Yang Huazhong asked again.
Sun asked this question several times a few days ago.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "This year is the first year that I and Tang Hanzi have become married, and I plan to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner by myself." ”
"And tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I have to invite Uncle Luo and them to come over and eat together."
Yang Huazhong nodded again and again: "Well, you should indeed take Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang over for the New Year, a family!" ”
Yang Ruoqing continued: "I discussed with my mother yesterday, and my Chinese New Year's Eve dinner over there will be eaten a little earlier than here." ”
"When I've eaten there, I'll come over with Tang Lingzi to pay New Year's greetings to your father."
"When the time comes, sit down and eat a few bites together, which is equivalent to celebrating the New Year with my parents and younger brothers!" She said.
Yang Huazhong was very happy when he heard this, "Okay, good, this arrangement is the best!" ”
"Dad, since I'm here, let's put up the Spring Festival couplets together." Yang Ruoqing proposed.
Yang Huazhong said, 'Okay'.
"Then I'll go to the backyard and get some rice cereal from my mother."
Backyard, stove room.
Sun is busy.
Cut all kinds of vegetables, prepare all kinds of ingredients, wash what should be washed, soak what should be soaked, simmer what should be simmered, and steam what should be steamed......
Seeing Yang Ruoqing come in, Sun was very happy.
"Qing'er, how are you preparing the dishes over there?" She asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and reported the menu of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to Sun's family.
Sun said: "Ah, there are so many fancy dishes, it's so rich, my daughter will come to trouble." ”
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, made some rice noodles and rice cereal, and then took them to the front yard.
Yang Huazhong is tall and burly, and he doesn't need to step on a ladder at all.
Yang Ruoqing stood on the side, holding a basin with rice cereal in her hand, and Da'an was responsible for handing the Spring Festival couplets on the side.
The father and son worked together and soon pasted the Spring Festival couplets.
As soon as the bright red color was pasted on the wall, the atmosphere of the New Year came out.
When Yang Ruoqing returned to her house with rice cereal and planned to paste the Spring Festival couplets, she found that Luo Fengtang was already pasting the last one at the door of the study.
"Ah, why did you post the Spring Festival couplets alone? Didn't you say that it was good to post together! ”
Yang Ruoqing said.
Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "I've posted it, so you don't have to bother." ”
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Yang Ruoqing smiled, walked over, and helped him smooth out the corner of the last Spring Festival couplet.
In previous years, the Spring Festival couplets were pasted at the end of the day, and this year the Spring Festival couplets were pasted early.
Next, it's time to burn incense on the mountain.
The custom in this area is that on the day of the New Year, you will go to the grave of your ancestors on the mountain to burn incense and kowtow.
After returning to the village in the next day, you have to go to the land temple in the south of the village to burn incense.
Before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, families also have to burn incense to the ancestral tablet enshrined at home.
Keeping vigil at night, getting up in the early hours of the morning to 'open the door'.
Then before dawn, you have to go to the land temple to burn incense and set off firecrackers, which is called 'out of heaven'.
The young couple finished the Spring Festival couplets, and then Yang Ruoqing went to the stove room and brought a bamboo basket over, and the basket was filled with incense offerings.
"Let's go, let's go into the village to find the uncle, the uncle is probably already waiting for us."
Yang Ruoqing said.
"You're going too?" Luo Fengtang asked.
Yang Ruoqing gave him a roll of his eyes: "This is not nonsense, I am the new daughter-in-law of your old Luo family, and I must go to burn incense in the first year!" ”
Luo Fengtang was very happy, reached out to take the basket she was carrying, and took her hand with the other hand, and the two confessed to Tuoba Xian and Yan Huai'an, and went out of the house together to the village.
Old Locke.
Aunt Wang Cuilian also prepared offerings, and Blacksmith Luo was changing shoes.
Seeing this little couple coming hand in hand, Blacksmith Luo was secretly happy.
"Uncle, Qing'er will also go up the mountain with us to burn incense." Luo Fengtang said as soon as he entered the door.
Blacksmith Luo said: "Okay, okay, let the ancestors see the new daughter-in-law of our old Luo family, and let them be happy." ”
Yang Ruoqing smiled embarrassedly.
Blacksmith Luo looked at Wang Cuilian on the side again: "Cuilian, you also entered the door this year, you also change your shoes and go with us." ”
Wang Cuilian was a little flattered.
"What's that...... I won't go, Qing'er is the daughter-in-law of the old Luo family......" The woman said.
When Blacksmith Luo heard this, he immediately fell in the face.
"What are you talking about?"
"Qing'er is the daughter-in-law of Tang Yanzi, you are my daughter-in-law, and you are the daughter-in-law of the two generations of our old Luo family......"
Wang Cuilian was still very embarrassed, "I'm a widow who remarried, and I still won't go......"
The words of inferiority clearly reached the ears of the three people on the side.
Blacksmith Luo corrected Wang Cuilian very seriously: "What's wrong with the widow?" Widows are not people? ”
"Remember, you are the daughter-in-law of my Luo blacksmith Ming Media, who used to be a widow, and now, you are a man and a husband!"
"Listen to my arrangement, hurry up, change a pair of shoes, let's go to the mountains to burn incense together!"
……
A family of four went up to the back mountain to burn incense together.
Blacksmith Luo led the way with his hands behind his back.
Luo Fengtang followed closely with a bamboo basket in one hand.
Yang Ruoqing took Wang Cuilian's arm and walked at the back of the team.
This year's wax moon, the weather is good.
Except for the first few days when it snowed, it has been clear since the snow stopped.
When the sun is good, the salted meat and salted fish are all dried at this moment.
And the mountain road under his feet, and all the trees and grasses in the mountains, were also very dry and dry.
Yang Ruoqing absolutely believes that as long as a match is thrown down, it can definitely burn most of the mountain.
"Tang Yanzi, stay a little more when you can burn incense, the weather is dry, don't burn the mountain."
She couldn't help but admonish Luo Fengtang's back.
Luo Fengtang turned his head and smiled at her: "Well, I'll be careful." ”
The four of them came to the ancestral grave of the old Luo family, burned incense and bowed.
Then when he was climbing over a mountain beam, he also encountered the large army of the old Yang family.
Lao Yang led the team, Yang Huaan, Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming, and Yang Huazhou brothers are all there.
Among the sons, except for Yang Hualin, who stayed in the county seat and didn't come back, they all came.
And among the grandchildren, except for Yang Yongzhi and Kang Xiaozi, the others also came.
The two groups of people met on the mountain beam, and sat together and smoked for a while.
At this moment, I met several groups of people from the village one after another.
Among them, there are also the people of the old Wang family.
In the mountains, the sound of artillery is one after another, and it is really lively.
After enough rest, everyone parted ways again and went to burn incense.
Here, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang came to the grave of Luo Lao'er.
Luo Fengtang knelt down in front of the grave, and Yang Ruoqing also followed, kneeling with him.
Although the tomb in front of him is not buried in Tang's father.
However, Yang Ruoqing kowtowed three times very religiously.
If it weren't for Luo Lao Er's starry night and doing everything he could to bring Luo Fengtang back to Changping Village, I was afraid that he would be murdered in his infancy.
Therefore, this kindness is greater than the sky!
