Back at his home, the Jia family had prepared the sacrificial table and waited for Lan Yi to return.

"Wen Xuan, come, kowtow to your biological father." Lan Yi asked Wen Xuan to kneel at the table and worship Wang Mingzhe and his wife in a proper manner.

There were sumptuous offerings on the table, and Jia knelt beside him, putting the paper money in the copper basin one by one, and the blue slowly burned, these paper money was also bought by Wenxuan with the money from selling eggs and duck eggs, and Jia cherished it very much.

Wen Xuan's small group knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Heavenly father, mother said, these are for you to eat." The baby has grown up, there is Xiaobai, there is a scar monkey, and a delicious big red fruit......"

Listening to him say this, Lan Yi's gaze drifted away with the ashes, thinking of his parents, how are they?

Jia Shi couldn't hold back his tears and choked up. The main family suffered a catastrophe, and the young master was able to escape this festival safely, it was the old lady who accumulated virtue and the Bodhisattva blessed it. Uncle, eldest lady, open your eyes and see, this is the young master, inheriting your charity and wisdom, and with Tao'er's dedicated protection, he will be able to grow up safely, support the door of the Wang family, and continue the incense of the Wang family.

Looking at Jia's sadness, Lan Yi naturally knew what she was thinking, "Aunt Yao, don't cry, on Wenxuan's father's death day next spring, let's take them back to worship and say goodbye to the old lady." ”

Wenxuan's father, Wang Mingzhe, died on the tenth day of the second month, and he happened to have nothing to do after the New Year, so it was good to go to Meixian County, and Lan Yi also wanted to visit the Zheng family.

Jia Shi was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, this matter turned in her heart several times, but Lan Yi didn't mention it, she couldn't say it, "Okay." Good! The old lady must miss the young master very much. ”

After worshipping, Lan Yi and the four began to clean the courtyard. Put on a new peach charm, stick to the deer and horses, Tianxing posts, spring stickers and window flowers and other festive things for the New Year. Peach talismans are two small boards made of peach wood planks. On the name of the two gods of the book Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the people in the village all hang such a peach charm next to the door to suppress evil spirits, and then paste the couplets in red and black letters next to it, and the couplets are written on everyone's most simple home and all things are prosperous, and the six animals are prosperous and other good wishes for the new year.

It is said that Wang Linshan has died less than three years ago, and Lan Yi should not post a red pair, but the Li family has long said that Lan Yi will get married next year and will be auspicious this year. A qiē is festive, but they still have to keep the old, they can't get up on the first day of the new year, and they can only get up at dawn to open the door. Lan Yi has no opinion on this, the custom should be observed.

After pasting the peach charm and Spring Festival couplets, Lan Yi took a few steps back and looked up and down, smiled with satisfaction, and remembered Wang Anshi's masterpiece:

The sound of firecrackers is one year old. The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

After reading it, Lan Yi couldn't help but think that this famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty should have shined in the eleventh century, and now it is the end of the tenth century. Maybe he should have been born now...... Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Qin Shaoyou, these names that make her blood boil, it's time to be born, right? If she's lucky. What kind of demeanor should it be when you can see these young people?

The sound of firecrackers is constant. The thick smell of sulfur in the air, the sound of children playing and laughing. Outline the unique flavor of the New Year. Lan Yi and the four of them went to Uncle Wang's house to have a New Year's dinner together, and the Li and Chen families neatly arranged chickens, ducks, and fish, and fresh vegetables were placed on the table.

This year made money, the old couple happily couldn't close their mouths, the second uncle pinned his son's new filial piety cigarette pouch pot to his waist, Li also put on new clothes and wore the silver hairpin bought by his daughter-in-law, and the house also added a new table and chairs, with the New Year's painting on the north wall, very festive. This year, Dafu, Yu'er and Wenxuan followed the second uncle and Lin Xilin Yuan to eat at the main table, the Li family took the female family to a table, and the Liu family also had a rare good appetite, and drank the fish soup with satisfaction, and the second aunt brought back the fruit wine made from pears, which tasted sweet, and Lan Yi drank a few glasses, and was very happy.

After the New Year's dinner, it is time to go back to each family to keep the New Year. Lan Yi and Jia followed the cheerful Yu'er and Wenxuan back to their home, the stove in the hall was burning brightly, baking warmly, after the four of them kowtowed to their ancestors in front of the offering table, they sat around the kang table to eat fruit and play truth or dare, the fire was warm on the kang, and the incense candles and large braziers illuminated the house as bright as day, a qiē is so beautiful.

Lan Yi listened to the firecrackers and dog barking from the house, looked at the relatives in front of her, thought of her parents, and slowly calmed down her mind, life is full of gains and losses, the years are gone, why bother to waste your days!

The exorcism of the rich man of Zhou's house sounded when he was in the child, like a spring thunder that caused the spring of a village, and the eight years of the big Zhou Puhe arrived, and everyone was one year older.

Yu'er lit the firecrackers with incense candles, covered her ears and watched the firecrackers crack in the dark night, and the family returned to the house with a smile. The two children first kowtowed to Lan Yi to greet the New Year, and then bowed to Jia's to say hello to the New Year, and both of them took out the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago for them to celebrate the New Year.

After the New Year's greetings, it was time to sleep. The two children were already sleepy, took off their clothes and got into the quilt, Yu'er grabbed the quilt with her little hands, "Mother, Yu'er is seven years old." ”

"Well, my mother's Yu'er is seven years old and has become a big child, so you can go to school in the spring." Lan Yi touched their little faces, "Wen Xuan is also a year older, four years old. ”

"The baby is getting bigger, too." Wen Xuan also learned from his brother's tone and said seriously.

Lan Yi smiled, "Well, they've all grown up." ”

Yu'er continued: "Mother, Yu'er can sleep by herself." ”

Men and women are not seated at the same age at the age of seven, and boys can sleep in a room by themselves after the age of seven. But this is only in the good condition. In the countryside, there are fewer houses and more children, and many children still sleep on a kang with their parents and brothers until they get married. Like Zhou Yue's house, Li Ziqi is thirteen years old and still sleeps in the same room with his parents, although the curtain is hung, Lan Yi feels awkward when he thinks about it.

"Yu'er, my mother originally planned to let you sleep by yourself after the New Year, but grandma is here, our house is not enough, Yu'er will sleep with her mother first, okay? Wait until we build a new house, and then prepare your own house for Yu'er, and my mother will take Yu'er to choose the furniture and kang list you like, okay? Lan Yi discussed with Yu'er that she had regarded Yu'er as an adult.

Yu'er smiled happily when she heard this, "Okay." ”

After speaking, he hid his little face in the quilt again, and added, "It's so good for my mother to treat Yu'er, Yu'er likes my mother so much." ”

Wen Xuan also came over, "The baby likes it too." ”

What could be sweeter than that? Lan Yi couldn't smile warmer, "Mother too, I like Yu'er and Wenxuan so much." ”

After the child fell asleep, Lan Yi put on her cloak and went to the wall, although she had not made an appointment, she knew that Zhou Weiji must be waiting for her on the other side.

Sure enough, she knocked on the wall, and Zhou Weiji jumped on the wall and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

The sky was lit up by lanterns and firecrackers, and the snow was also coated with a layer of warm color, Lan Yi quietly leaned on his arms, listening to the sound of firecrackers, smelling the sulfur smell in the air, and felt that his wine was coming up, boldly raised his head and kissed his chin, and said loudly in his ear: "Second brother, Happy New Year." ”

This Happy New Year, with the sound of firecrackers, bloomed with the splendor.

Zhou Weiji, who had been lonely for more than ten years, suddenly felt that the festival was so beautiful. (To be continued......)
