Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 169 Lantern Festival (1)
Now that I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed. Seeing that it's time to cook at this time, Mrs. Li glanced at Lin Erniu. Although she seemed to be thinking about it, she still looked a little embarrassed.

"Erniu, go to our warehouse and put that cornmeal in a small bag into the kitchen. I've eaten too much rice these days, so let's eat cornmeal potstickers as a staple food today!" Li said to her man.

After Lin Erniu heard Li Shi's order, he quickly agreed: "Hey, okay, I'll go right away! Hurry up and prepare meals for everyone!" After speaking, he got up and went out.

Mrs. Li watched her man go out, and said to the big guy: "Let's not engage in big fish and meat today, and I'm getting tired of eating it recently. I'll stew a pot of fish, and then fry it." How about a few vegetarian dishes and a pot of cornmeal porridge at the end?"

"Sure, I'll help you too!" Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt replied.

The rest of the people didn't have any opinion on Mrs. Li's suggestion. The room was full of close people, so they didn't care about those empty-headed banquets, and they insisted on putting fish and meat dishes on the table.

Recently, I'm really tired of eating fish and meat. Today, I can eat something different, which is also in line with everyone's wishes.

So, Li Shi and her younger sister went to the kitchen to get busy, and Lin Xiaoxi went to the kitchen to help light the fire.

The meals were relatively simple, so it didn't take long to prepare them and serve them on the dining table. There are so many people today that one table cannot be crowded, so Lin Erniu set up two tables in the main room for Everyone sat down to eat.

For this kind of food, everyone was quite satisfied with what they ate, especially Yu Lian'er's little cousin, who was small and young, but she had a really big appetite today, and she ate three potstickers in one meal. Also drank two bowls of cornmeal paste.

I don't know where the frightened look just now came from. For the little cousin's big appetite, even Lin Xiaoqiao feels inferior, and has met an opponent!

After Lin Miao's episode, Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt's family stayed at Lin Xiaoqiao's house for another two days, and they planned to set off to go back.

In the past two days, Lin Miao and the people from the other side of the old house did not come to make trouble, so everyone lived happily.

Two days later, after everyone had finished breakfast this morning, Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt was busy counting their luggage, and Yu Fugui also began to make arrangements to put on the ox cart, move things, and prepare to leave for home.

The four brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao have been feeling uncomfortable since last night, and the four of them are a little bit reluctant to leave their aunt and family.

The cheerful little aunt, the upright and quiet little uncle, the eccentric little cousin, and the cute and invincible but pretentious little cousin, all brought a lot to their family and grandparents joy……

Although we have only been together for less than ten days, Lin Xiaoqiao really likes the feeling of living with them. This is the real feeling of family members getting together. Lin Xiaoqiao really feels the family affection from them the warmth.

Not only were their brothers and sisters reluctant to part with each other, Li Shi and Sun Shi also had tears in their eyes at this time, as well as Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt, the mother and daughter hugged each other and wept so hard.

But no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to separate. They can only look forward to the next time they meet each other.

After all the luggage was loaded onto the ox cart, the four brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao each gave some gifts to their little cousins.

The two brothers Dalang and Erlang just sent some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, but the two sisters Lin Xiaoqiao were extremely generous this time, and they gave a big package of miscellaneous things. , and what the two sisters owned was given to the little cousin this time.

Last night, Lin Xiaoqiao dragged her elder sister Lin Xiaoxi to rush to make a cloth doll of a little raccoon that didn't look very handmade, but looked very cute, and gave it to her little cousin.

When Yu Lian'er received this gift, she couldn't put it down. She warmly gave two cousins ​​two kisses, and carried the doll reluctantly into the bullock cart all the way.

After everyone said their goodbyes, it was time for Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt's family to leave too. Li's eyes were red as she looked at the half-bulk cart's luggage, and suddenly thought that her nephews and nieces all like to eat corn flour paste and corn flour pancakes, So he quickly ordered Lin Erniu to go to his warehouse to move a large bag of cornmeal and load it on the ox cart.

Then, Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt's family all got into the ox cart, and drove the ox cart to embark on the return trip...

Lin Xiaoqiao waved his little hand, looking at the ox cart that was drifting away, he had an idea in his heart: this year he must earn some money, and then he will call his aunt and family over to help, so that Everyone can get together often again, and grandma, grandpa, and my own mother don't have to be so sad...

After the aunt's family left, Lin Xiaoqiao's family and grandparents all seemed to be in a low mood, no matter what they did, they couldn't cheer up.

It took several years to meet and reunite, so the reunion day, which was less than ten days away, is very cherished by both parties, and the pain and reluctance of parting are also particularly strong.

Lin Xiaoqiao's grandparents, grandparents, and little uncle also went back home the next day after the auntie's family left. Li's persuasion to stay was fruitless, so he had to let them go back.

Lin Xiaoqiao's grandma, Sun, knew that her eldest daughter wanted to stay with them to spend the Lantern Festival together, but she just experienced the scene of being separated from the younger daughter's family, and she really couldn't cheer up, so she had better go home as soon as possible to avoid sweeping the house. It got everyone excited about the festival.

In recent days, because Mrs. Li was still immersed in her own sadness, she even prepared three meals a day for her family members perfunctorily. For her situation like this, the whole family gave silent understanding.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. After Lin Erniu comforted Li's sorrow, she got better within three days.

Li's resurgence brought her carefully prepared food to the Lin family's dinner table, and the slightly depressing atmosphere in the family in recent days gradually dissipated.

The day soon came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of the Lantern Festival, which is the first festival of the new year and the first full moon night after the new year.

If the annual "Laba Festival" is the prelude to the Spring Festival, then the "Lantern Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month means the end of the new year.

Especially for farmers, after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, they will end their visits to relatives and friends, end their leisurely life of eating, drinking and having fun during the New Year, and start to work hard for the new year's livelihood.

Therefore, this Lantern Festival is also valued by every household. On this day, every household must eat Lantern Festival with their families.
