Chapter 323 May Day

Shen Yiyao walked halfway, and ran into Gu Anxun again.

She blinked, very glad that she changed everything after leaving the town, otherwise, wouldn't she be caught right now?

Obviously tired and sweaty, but because of the clean and clear eyes, he still looks refreshed.

His breathing was obviously uneven, and his trousers were still stained with dust, but because of his upright and healthy posture, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

On the contrary, because of that very punchable face, the usual stability was lost, but the youth and vigor that should be at this age continued.

When Gu Anxun took the back basket in his hand, Shen Yiyao still felt dazzled by Brother Gu, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Gu Anxun noticed such a slight abnormality, pursed his lips, and suppressed the curvature of the corners of his lips that he wanted to raise.

If other people look at him like this, he will feel bored and don't want to be stared at all the time.

But if it was Shen Yiyao, he was afraid that if he didn't take care of his appearance, he wouldn't be able to attract her to look at him more.

From this point of view, people and animals may also be able to draw an equal sign.

Just like no matter how proud a peacock is, it will spread its tail vigorously in front of the female it likes.

Red-crowned cranes, no matter how virtuous they are, will also perform funny and amusing dances during courtship.

Gu Anxun didn't care about his appearance, but when he found that Shen Yiyao would occasionally look at his face in a daze, he began to take care of his face carefully.

As long as he is in front of her, he will always show his best side, like a peacock spreading its tail, or a dancing crane, trying to attract Shen Yiyao's attention with a straightforward and clear purpose.

It's a pity that Shen Yiyao has no roots in this aspect, he doesn't understand at all, and he restrains himself from admiring the scenery that doesn't belong to him.

However, even so, both of them felt very satisfied because of the little fur they got.

One is in a good mood after seeing a different "scenery".

A person who put in enough effort was looked at one more time, and made a pot of honey for himself with brain supplements.

Probably because of the deep affection, Gu Anxun didn't feel tired even though he was carrying a heavy basket on his back on the way back.

It wasn't until he entered the courtyard of Shen's house, put down his back basket, and went back to wash and change his clothes, that Gu Anxun felt the pain all over his body and protested to him.

He also just rubbed his shoulders, moved his waist, and finally showed a smirk when no one was paying attention.

The shallow dimple on one side made the sugar in that smile jump up a few more plus signs.

It's just that he doesn't know that if Shen Yiyao sees his real smile, it's likely to make her look at it a few more times, and even lose her mind for a long time.

……

When Shen Yiyao returned home, she soaked the glutinous rice and zongzi leaves, and only in the dead of night did she start making zongzi by herself.

The zongzi in Daliu Village are all triangular zongzi, and most households make white rice zongzi, which are glutinous rice and nothing else.

If conditions permit, red dates or candied dates will be added.

Some families have a lot of people and not enough glutinous rice, so they make rice dumpling with miscellaneous grains and wild fruit rice dumpling to make up for it.

At that time, it was only because of poverty that I came up with the trick, but later generations have become a festival food praised by everyone, and even more types have been created.

In Daliu Village, there is no big river, only a shallow river loop, so there are no festivals such as dragon boats.

On the day of May Festival, Shen Yiyao got up early, went up the mountain with the villagers, picked the fresh and tender mugwort leaves on the mountain and hung them on the door.

Then braid the five-color thread and wear it on the neck, wrist and ankle.

The old man said it was to avoid snakes and insects, and also to pray for a smooth year and a good harvest.

There is a saying about the Summer Harvest Festival on May Day. Daliu Village is in the mountains, and the solar terms are about half a month later than outside the mountains. The Summer Harvest Festival in Daliu Village is just a foreshadowing.

After the festival, soon the wheat will be cut and the sweet potato seedlings will be planted.

After Shen Yiyao put on the five-color thread, he didn't forget to chop a piece of peach wood to make a small mallet and a small axe, and then went to the long-lived old man's house to ask for a pair of peach nuts.

After getting it back, make another pair of small baskets, put these on red thread, send them to Guo's house, and hang them on the door frame of Guo's godfather and mother's room.

This thing has the meaning of warding off evil spirits in ancient times, and later became one of the customs, implying health and longevity, mostly to honor the elders.

There are also elders who return this gift when returning gifts, and also hang it on the door frame of the junior's room, hoping that the junior will grow up safely and be free from illness and disaster.

When Shen Yiyao went to give this small gift, he also brought zongzi made by himself and boiled eggs.

When Xiao Maozi saw the egg, his eyes lit up!
He stomped and ran into the house, carefully selected the biggest egg, and looked at Shen Yiyao expectantly: "Sister Heiya, are we the best?"

Shen Yiyao smiled and found a medium-sized egg from the pile of eggs she brought, but with a sharper tip than ordinary eggs, stretched out his hand, and waited for Xiao Maozi to smash the egg in his hand vigorously.

With a "snap", Xiao Maozi looked at the egg in his hand in disbelief: "I fed my chicken myself! Why are you so unlucky?"

He looked up at the one in Shen Yiyao's hand again: "Sister Hei Yaer, come again!"

Shen Yiyao nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'm the ever-victorious general, you eat the egg in your hand, let's continue, we can't waste it."

Unconvinced, Guo Mao dropped the egg in his hand again, and bumped into the one in Shen Yiyao's hand again.

With a "pop", both ends of the boiled egg in his hand were broken.

He stared angrily at the egg with two hollows in his hand. His little hands worked on the egg for a while, quickly peeled off the egg skin, stuffed the egg into his mouth, and turned his head to go to the kitchen to get it again.

Shen Yiyao stopped him, with disapproval in his eyes: "Go after eating, eat slowly one bite at a time, what should I do if I choke?"

Guo Mao pursed his mouth nonchalantly, chewing a few times before wanting to swallow.

But the egg yolk was too dry, and he really choked, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't breathe.

Shen Yiyao handed him water.

Guo Mao grabbed it in a hurry and gulped down the choking egg yolk a few times.

Shen Yiyao scolded him: "You said you are fat, but you are still panting? It's delicious, what's the rush?"

Guo Mao was ashamed, and stuck out his tongue at Sister Hei Yaer with a bit of embarrassment on his face. There was still a layer of egg yolk on his tongue, so he turned around and went to fetch another egg, looking eagerly at him. Shen Yiyao: "Sister Heiyaer, come again! This time I also choose General Changsheng, and I will definitely win you!"

Guo Shan just inserted the wormwood, and when he heard Xiao Maozi's words, he couldn't help but looked over curiously. Seeing that the siblings were pushing the cow, his eyes lit up "swish"!

"I'm coming too!"

Guo Shan washed his face in a hurry, then quickly went to the kitchen to get the egg, and waited for the result, eager to try to match the winning egg!
