Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 274
Chapter 270

Apart from his own factors, the uncle's ability to be the village head for so many years has something to do with his aunt Song Guangju's tolerance and generosity, so he didn't pay so much attention to the Li family.

However, the paving of the mountain is still done by men, and the eldest and second aunts can only prepare joss sticks, paper money and so on in front of the grave.

When the pavements are full, the tombs are hung, and the incense and candle offerings are arranged, it's time to set off firecrackers and burn paper to worship the ancestors.

Setting off firecrackers is also very particular. For example, the ancestors at Ermao's side were relatives who were out of service. When hanging up the grave, this side also burned paper money for the other side, but no firecrackers were set off.

Firecrackers are generally only set off on the graves of immediate relatives, and not on the graves of distant relatives to show the difference between closeness and estrangement.

Uncle and dad prepared five firecrackers, each of the five brothers and sisters hung one.

Firecrackers are sounded, paper money is burned, a few glasses of wine are sprinkled, and the elders who smoked before their death have to light three cigarettes and put them on the tombstone. It is time to kowtow.

Anyone who is the junior of the owner of the tomb must bow and kowtow. First, put your hands on your chest, make three bows, count one bow, then kneel down and kowtow three times, then stand up, make three more bows, then kneel down and kowtow three times , after three prostrations and nine prostrations, the gift is considered complete.

When the younger generation kowtows, the elders will chatter aside: "Old ancestors, you see that Piwa has come to kowtow to you this year. With him here, the lychees in our township are selling well this year! The one next to him is his girlfriend, It’s called Ayin, and she’s the head of our village! You’re taking over from your eldest grandson Sicheng’s class, who’s obedient and capable, so please bless them! Bless them with good health and smooth work, get married early and give birth to a chubby girl…”

Every junior came forward, it was like this.

Then there is paper burning, many children like to do this, and the elders will teach by the side: "My dear grandson, every piece of paper must be torn apart, so that it can be burned vigorously and quickly... Oh, you child! What a mess!" I threw it in, and the dust sprayed everywhere! It’s rare for the ancestors to pick it up! It’s so bad..."

If there is a small whirlwind on the fire at this time, it means that the ancestors have appeared, and everyone will be overjoyed, shouting: "The ancestors are here, the ancestors have a happy new year! Happy New Year to you!"

In short, hanging graves in the New Year is not so much a place to mourn, but a warm family activity.

After all this was done, everyone packed up their things and went down the mountain talking and laughing.

When we came to the uncle's house, everyone sat down in the open dam, chatted, ate melon seeds and played cards. The uncle's family started cooking, and we spent today here.

At this time, it is no longer called New Year's dinner, because it has entered the New Year. From today on, every household takes turns to treat guests to dinner, and it will be called "leaving households".

Take Li Junge as an example, the households that will leave this year roughly include Uncle, Aunt, Second Aunt, Uncle Fifth, Ermao’s family, and godson Wang Xiaosong’s family. These are the closest ones. Uncle, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, Lin Wangcai, and Qiu Yatou are also coming.

Over there in Pan'ao Township, Ergou's house is also going to have a look.

There is also the uncle's family across the river. Although they don't usually move around much, they still have to accompany my mother to visit during the New Year and holidays.

In addition to these, we also need to add those who are married in the village, and those who have a good relationship with each other in advance when there are more people in the New Year. The people that Li Junge usually helped were almost a headache for Li Junge.

If you leave the house, you must have something to play. After the children pay New Year's greetings, they will be taken away by the adults after receiving the red envelopes. Throw two boxes of firecrackers and play in front of and behind the house.

Except for Alice and Shirley, the two sisters have now become rich people, and they think this is the best festival in the world!

The adults set up small tables and began to fight with each other, and the whole family fought in the nest, which was called "killing the family".

The popular big two in Jiachuan is a long strip of cards, with four cards each from small one to small ten, and four cards each from big one to big ten. Among them, the small twenty seventy and the big two seventy are red letters, and the rest are black. Character.

The name "Killer Tatar" comes from "Killer Tartar".

During the Yuan Dynasty, ten families of Han people supported one Tartar, which was called Jia Tartar.

Then there was a cake maker who hid a note in the cake and made an appointment to "kill the Tartars on August [-]th" to revolt, and only then did the Ming Dynasty come into being.

Therefore, Da Er is also called "Run Huzi" in Hunan, which means "expel the Tartars and restore China".

The rules are similar to mahjong, but although four people sit together, only three people play each game, leaving one player who is responsible for "counting the bottom".

Three people draw cards, one person holds nineteen cards, then the dealer gets 21 cards, and the other two get twenty cards.

Then turn over the cards in turn, the rules are the same as playing mahjong.

Then each family began to think of ways to make up the number of beards, at least ten or more in the hand, in order to win cards.

There are no random numbers like three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. They must be two "touch" one, three "tricks" one, "cheng kan", which means three cards, and "cheng luo", which means four. Zhang is the same, there are two special cases of size [-], [-], [-], and size [-], which can be counted as Hu.

In addition to this, there are other famous tricks. For example, when you have more than ten red cards in your hand, it is called "red hu", and if you don't have one red card, it is called "black hu".

There are also rules such as "comparing cards", "excessive cards", and "eight yuan".

This game is more flexible than mahjong. It is easy to distinguish between masters and low players. The masters make a fast call. Once the cards change according to the turn of the cards, they can quickly "make a call". Mengxin The field of vision is not wide enough, and the thinking is not flexible enough, so I can only stick to the end and wait for those few pictures.

Then the Hu card is not called Hu, it is called "cut", and then calculate how many "hu" are "cut".

These are all related to the legend of "Killing Tartars".

In the Jiachuan countryside, when it comes to Chinese New Year and office work, there are sophomores everywhere.

It has become a common practice. Although it is a kind of gambling activity, it was finally voted by the people of Manzhou as the first city-level intangible cultural heritage!
Li Junge is not good at this game, but the key is to find an opponent. It doesn't have to be able to outrun the lion, just a few companions can outrun!So I called the three of them, the black, the white, and the brown, and called them teaching and learning. After a while, I took out the red envelopes that I sent to Zongba taro in the morning.

The old man also smiled and sat down at a table with his father, brother-in-law, and eldest cousin. The uncle laughed while picking vegetables: "Brother, you haven't touched Zhangzi for more than [-] years. Is this reasonable?"

The old man said while touching the cards: "I still remember the rules, but my thinking may not be able to keep up."

As a result, within a few games, the faces of the other three were ashen. Are you thinking that you can't keep up?So what should we say?No thinking at all? !
Change people, change people, pick the soft persimmons, and replace your son, someone who has never met sophomore, why can't he be so fierce?

In the end, it was changed to a computer artificial intelligence person, and it was completely blind from crying. Li Junge was sweating coldly for his father.

When the uncle called for dinner, the three fathers felt relieved and quickly dispersed the stall, and then disappeared, leaving only my brother there, talking to himself while counting the money: "Well, this is an interesting one." A question of probability..."

After lunch, everyone started to walk along the village road, and went to the archway, the ancestral hall, and the wooden building at the end of the village.

The old man explained the ins and outs of Lijiagou and the legends and allusions to the three masters and apprentices in black, white and brown in English.The three of them nodded again and again.

After Li Junge showed them the movement of the trumpet drum in the front gate of the ancestral hall, the three exclaimed again and again: "Great craftsmanship! Great entertainer!"

Then he clamored to visit Uncle Stone.

Li Junge rolled his eyes: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, except for close relatives, people generally don't leave the house. The main reason is that there are too many taboos today. If you break a bowl at someone's house and the child says a wrong sentence, you will leave behind. Years of psychological shadow, very embarrassing."

A Yin also persuaded: "We still have several inheritors of intangible cultural heritage in Lijiagou. If you want to visit, wait until after the sixth day. Uncle Shitou will move to a new house and Uncle Bamboo Carpenter will get married. You can all see me." Arrived. You can also record the ceremony.”

Only then did the three of them return their attention to the atmosphere of the village.

After comforting the three of them, Li Junge came to Second Cousin and said to him, "Second Cousin, I just want to chat with you. You see, I was busy making New Year's dinner yesterday, so now I'm free."

The second cousin put his arm around Li Junge's shoulder and said, "Pi Wa, you are very busy now, you have already been fully hired this first month?"

Li Junge smiled and said, "Aren't you too? Hahaha, I just want to ask you if you still go out after the Chinese New Year?"

The second cousin turned to look at Li Junge, and said, "What's wrong? You still have business to take care of your second brother?"

Li Junge shook his head and said, "I don't know how you are doing outside, so it's hard to speak up!"

The second cousin sighed and said: "Actually, Yu Duo will be promoted to the junior high school soon, and your sister-in-law and I want to come back and watch over it. It's embarrassing to lose it to the boss!"

Li Junge laughed loudly and said: "This is because you think too much. But it is true that having parents restraining you will really help Yu Duo's studies."

The second cousin scratched his head and said: "In the past two years, I have earned a little money outside. Let me tell you, Piwa, don't look at us pushing a small cart to sell Guokui Feichangfen, and we have to fight guerrillas with the urban management. But this is really a lot of money!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "I just have an idea, and I don't know if it's feasible or not. I just mentioned it. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, just pretend I didn't say it."

The second cousin asked: "What idea? You are the God of Wealth in Lijiagou now, hurry up and give me advice."

Li Junge smiled and said: "How dare you give advice? I have Uncle Wangcai in Lanchang. His mother, Mrs. Lin, was a staff member of the Jiachuan Daqu Noodle Restaurant. It is the one above the north gate. It sells cuttlefish stewed chicken noodles and clear soup. Chaoshou, the scallion buns..."

The second cousin said: "How can I not remember! That is our time-honored restaurant in Jiachuan! Who in Jiachuan over the age of 30 has never eaten it?!"

Li Junge continued: "In the past six months, we have been pestering the old lady to make a tooth-beating ceremony for us. Let me tell you, the steamed bun noodles in her hand are really the original taste of the big collective noodle restaurant. If you and sister-in-law If you are interested in opening a noodle restaurant in Jiachuan or Lijiagou, I can introduce it to you!"

The second cousin shook Li Junge's shoulders violently: "Hahaha Erpi, you can! This old craft has been brought to Lijiagou by you! By the way, what about Mrs. Lin's descendants? Why don't they open a restaurant? "

Li Junge said: "Her son is the technical director of our Lanchang, and he will definitely earn a lot of money in the future; her grandson is a college student at the Agricultural University, and she will also take the research path. It's not here..."

The second cousin patted his chest: "I'm coming! I'll go with your sister-in-law! Have you heard that sentence? Copy two buns with two sides and three buns! You will definitely get a lot of money! Don't worry, you will never lose money to the old lady! "

Li Junge said: "That's fine! I'll take you and my sister-in-law to meet Mrs. Lin after the new year is over!"
