Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 344

When Han Li led the dog and lynx for a stroll to He Mi's house, she and Qi Zhaodi were lighting ice lanterns in the yard.

When He Mi saw Han Li, he hurried up to greet him, and asked in a voice that was only the two of them.

"Why did you come here?"

"I miss you, so I'll come and have a look. In case you have trouble breathing and you feel hot all over, I can help you."

He Mi blocked Han Li's hand, which was about to take advantage of the shadow, and glanced to the side.

"Miss Qi is here, don't make trouble."

"Then I'll come over tomorrow to teach Xiaomei Qi how to stick?"

"It depends."

Han Li got the answer he wanted, said hello to Qi Zhaodi, and went for a walk with the dog.

The next day was the third day of the Lunar New Year, Han Li got up early to practice boxing as usual.After eating with my wife, I opened the street door.

As soon as the door of the bathroom was not opened, Han Li and his wife were sitting on the kang chatting, thinking about when it would be better to go to He Mi's house.

Anyway, the reasons for going to He Mi's house are ready-made, to guide Qi Zhaodi to practice cudgels, so he only needs to find an appropriate time.

The two sisters were talking about the excitement they saw at the commune yesterday, and what they heard about the custom of giving lanterns on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month.

custom?What they said immediately stunned Han Li. He didn't seem to have heard anyone else say this, so he gave Yun Yingying a compliment and asked her to continue.

It turns out that on the [-]th night of the first lunar month in Gada, there is a custom of "sending lights" to the deceased relatives in the ancestral graves.

Send them a lamp to illuminate the way home for them, and hope that they will find the way to a new life with the lamp, reincarnate as human beings as soon as possible, and live a happy life.

The lamp is made of grain, the golden lamp made of cornmeal, the silver lamp made of white flour, and the iron lamp made of buckwheat flour.

This kind of lamp is shaped like a bowl, commonly known as a lamp bowl. People who pay attention to it will pinch twelve small sawtooths of different numbers on the side of each lamp bowl.

After shaping, steam it in a pot, let it cool and harden, insert a wick made of reed wrapped in cotton wool, fill it with lamp oil, and the lamp bowl is completed.

Of course, people who are not particular about it use earthen pots, canned bottles, and even hollowed out radishes to use as lamp bowls. For lamp oil, there are kerosene, lard, and vegetable oils. In short, there are all kinds of lamps.

This is not over, every household will use sawdust to mix lamp oil on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, divide them into small piles, and place them on the window sills outside the house, at the gate, in front of the firewood shed, the auxiliary room, and the door of the utility room. Point.

On the way from the door of your house to the cemetery, send it to the grave of the deceased relative, and place a small pile at intervals.The small shimmers are connected together, which is very spectacular at a glance.

But at that time, everyone is not allowed to joke, even if the neighbors with the best relationship pass by each other, they will not speak.

As long as the men in the family were dispatched (girls and nephews were not allowed to go), the whole family walked to the cemetery carrying lights for a team.

At this time, the head of the family will put away his usual smiling face, and children will be scolded immediately for saying or doing wrong things.

These little ones could only carry the small lanterns, and followed the adults in a line to the cemetery.

After arriving at the grave, dig a pit in the snow nest, put the lamp bowl into the pit and set it on fire, and tell all the dead in the grave to repeat it, for fear that anyone who is missed will be picked.

"Grandpa and grandma, grandparents, uncles, uncles, parents... I have given you lamps."

Finally, burn paper in front of each grave, and they will also recite it.

On the way back, the atmosphere returned to the way it used to be, the children could talk and laugh, and the adults would no longer scold them.

At this time, the tomb circles outside the village are full of dots of lights, which look as scary as will-o'-the-wisps from a distance.

Moreover, many people only put a little oil in the lamp bowl, and the lamp bowl goes out very quickly, and it can scare people to death if they leave late.

Han Li was a little puzzled when he heard this. This experience didn't seem like a man's, so he asked.

"Who did you hear these news from?"

"It's the eldest girl from Liang Qi's family in Shanghe Village. She said that once she secretly followed her family to deliver lamps, but she was afraid that people would find out and scold her. She didn't dare to move when others left. The lamp bowl was almost going out, and that time she almost didn't scare her to death, even the wind in her ears felt like a ghost screaming, and she fell ill after crawling and crawling home, yesterday She specifically told us not to be curious and follow the past to watch the fun.

"She also said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, ghosts without lights are very lonely. When they see lights in other people's houses, they will enter the house. But after you light the lights at the street gate, the ghosts will walk along the lights and not enter the house when they see them. He will really leave when he goes outside the village where there are no people, so we must light the lamps at the street gate on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Han Li was a little speechless when he heard this, but this eldest girl from Liang Qi's family is really brave enough.

The three of them were sitting on the kang and talking, when they heard someone shouting outside the street gate.

"Is Brother Han at home?"

When Han Li heard this voice, he immediately remembered who it was, Ren Liangshan from Zhonghe Village.

"Here, it's Uncle Ren, hurry up and get warm in the house."

After Han Li replied, he went out to greet him. He didn't expect that Ren Liangshan was not the only one in the yard, but also Uncle He who gave him the piece of animal skin that recorded "Spring Wind and Rain Jue".

"Uncle He is here too, let's go inside and have a cup of tea to keep warm."

"I won't go inside the house. We are here to ask you to drink in our village. I wanted to call you a long time ago, but I was busy a year ago, the first and second grades of junior high school, and I finally got free today. I came to find you directly."

"Drinking is fine at my house. Let's sit in the house and let my family cook a few dishes very quickly."

Han Li was 120 unwilling to go to Zhonghe Village to drink. First of all, he couldn't drink it himself, and secondly, he planned to find He Mi to exchange feelings later.

It's a pity that Han Li couldn't resist the enthusiasm of these two uncles in the end, and he got out of the street door after repeated tugging.

The distance between Shanghe Village and Zhonghe Village is not too far, and there are many relatives in the two villages. The road connecting the two villages has been stepped on in the past two days. The only drawback is that it is a bit slippery.

Han Li followed the two uncles directly to Ren Liangshan's house, where several people were already seated.

Han Li recognized that they were all those who followed Ren Liangshan into the mountains, but they didn't know each other well and couldn't name them.

What's more, Ren Dagang and his wife who were diagnosed with congenital infertility by Han Li were there.

"Here comes the health worker Han, hurry up and get on the kang to warm up."

"It's okay, it's actually not cold to walk."

"Brother Han, let's sit on the kang, we're home here, and my niece and daughter-in-law will pour you two cups of tea first."
