Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 92 Yangko
Although Ning Wan and Sister Xi have different ideas on making money, they are cousins ​​after all, and their father and aunt are also direct siblings, so no one gets angry after saying that, and they are still close playing in one place.

Now that Sister Xi has arrived in Sanjia Village, Ning Wan always wants to do her best as a landlord and take Sister Xi around the village, but this season, the mountain has been closed by heavy snow, and there is nothing to see, so I can only go to the mountain stream to see Look at the children playing ice games and riding ice carts, they are all grown up now, and they can't play these anymore, so they went to Luo Shuang'er's new house and Chunling's sister-in-law's house to chat and laugh for a while.

When they got home, they took out the pair of sheep bones that had been put away earlier, and they played on the kang for a while.

Suddenly, someone shouted outside, "The yangko dancer is here, everyone come out and watch!" The two hurriedly dropped the sheep bones and got off the kang, put on their shoes and ran out.

In Sanjia Village, everyone has a hard life on weekdays, and there is little fun.But it’s different during Chinese New Year. The head of Mayi Town discussed with the villages that they would charge some money to set up several Yangko teams, not only performing Yangko dances in the town, but also going to every village. Send some blessings to everyone.

Now that the Yangko team has arrived in Sanjia Village, which of the men, women, and children in the village don’t go out to see it?
When Ning Wan and Sister Xi went out, the yangko team had already entered the village, and the sound of trumpets and suonas had already sounded. A group of people dressed in red and green, some wearing big-headed doll headgear, some dressed as beauties, and some Wearing a donkey's head and tail on her body to look like a young daughter-in-law returning to her natal family, there are also those who pretend to be pigs and walk on stilts, and so on. They entered the village lively and danced from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. , not falling anywhere.

The young people and children in the village followed directly behind them, but Sister Xi was a quiet one, just holding Ning Wan and standing in front of the house to watch.When he arrived at the door of his house, Ning Liang took out a large handful of copper coins and handed them to Wu Wu, a clown at the front.

This is also a kind of custom. Although the money for performing Yangko has been sent in the village, everyone still has to give some small money to the Yangko team in front of their house and buy them some wine.The money is given at will, you can give it or not, it can be more or less, and you can not give it to the clown leading the Yangko team, but give it to the one you like the most.

Ning Liang's handful of money was very rich, the clown stopped after receiving the money, and wandered around in front of Ning's house for a while.This is the Yangko team expressing their gratitude to those who gave money. Those who give more money will stop for a longer time. Not only did they watch more Yangko twisting, but they also have a lot of face.

Even a reserved person like Sister Xi couldn't help laughing at the Yangko team, until the Yangko team could no longer see their backs, and the Ning family returned to the house, "This year's Yangko is the longest and the last interesting."

The aunt said: "Erlang, you don't know. The Yangko team came to the village during the Spring Festival when you were born. Dad gave [-] yuan. The Yangko team also spent a long time in front of the house!"

Ning Liang really didn't know about this past event, but now he understands what his father wanted back then, "I am also very happy today, one is that our family lives well, and the other is that our family has a stone, so we finally have a future. Now there are Eldest Sister and Sister Xi coming, since everyone loves to watch Yangko, it’s nothing to spend more money!”

Sister Xi asked, "Second uncle, when the Yangko team comes again, will you pay more?"

Ning Liang also laughed, "Do you think Sanjia Village is Lishu Village? The Yangko team only comes here once a year, never twice."

It turns out that the village that the Yangko team will go to is determined by the town, but after they go, they can go to other villages at will.Naturally, every Yangko team is willing to go to a village where the travel is convenient and the money is generous, so only one Yangko team will come to a remote and poor village like Sanjia Village.

But Ning Liang made a mistake this time. In the first month of the year, three Yangko teams came from Sanjia Village.The Ning family was rich and gave generously, and the other family lived better than in the past, so they all had more money than in the past, and the Hujia Village, which was only separated by a mountain stream, naturally had the same reason, so there were two The Yangko team specially went to the mountains to perform Yangko.Of course, the Ning family still rewarded them the same way, so people who came from afar must not be disappointed.

Auntie and Sister Xi stayed at her mother's house for more than half a month, and Yu Shi and Ning Wan entertained them with all their heart. They made dumplings or stewed chicken and meat every day, and talked and walked with them every day.In the past, my family was poor, and there were often worries of one kind or another. It was difficult to get together like this, but now it is a rare opportunity, and everyone gets along happily.

But my aunt is still thinking about home, and she has to go back before the end of the first month, "I am also reluctant to leave, but there are still many things waiting for me at home."

Mrs. Yu said: "Wait until February [-]nd, eat soybeans at home, and then watch the Social Day."

"Don't you know that the soybeans at home are waiting for me to go back and fry them!"

Mrs. Yu said to her eldest sister, "You are just too capable. You don't like anyone doing any work, and you always have to be tired."

Obviously my aunt already has two daughters-in-law, but she still has to do everything by herself. Ning Wan knew her temperament long ago, so she also persuaded her, "Auntie, you can still eat fried soybeans if you don't go home!"

The aunt finally refused, "Even if it is not for frying soybeans, the social day is a big event, I must go back," and said: "Why don't you let me take Wan'er to Lishu Village to live for a while, and wait until the spring comes. Let her come back."

Ning Wan has always had a good relationship with her aunt, and she is reluctant to part with her, but she refuses to go to Lishu, "When spring comes, I will naturally follow my father to see my aunt. Now that there are few people at home and the stone is too small, I am going To help my mother with housework."

The aunt said to Shi: "You are really blessed to have a girl like Wan'er!"

Yu nodded with a smile, "Wan'er has been taking care of everything at home this year, so her father and I are relieved."

Ning Wan just laughed, "Mother, auntie, please be polite to you, you are not humble but you follow auntie to praise your daughter, it makes people laugh." Then said: "Auntie must go, we have to discuss What should I cook when I send my aunt and cousin away tomorrow."

The eldest aunt smiled at Ning Wan, "I'm not being polite to your mother, I'm really complimenting Wan'er."

The mother also said: "Your aunt and I have always had something to say, there is no need to be hypocritical." And said: "As the saying goes, go out and make dumplings at home, and make dumplings tomorrow!"

Ning Wan asked everyone, "What kind of stuffing should I make?"

Dad just laughed, "You don't even know that your aunt loves to eat dumplings stuffed with radish and oil residue! I remember when I was young, your grandma once made dumplings made with radish and oil residue, and your aunt ate the most delicious dumplings."

The aunt laughed loudly, "So Erlang still remembers it!" and said: "At that time, I thought dumplings stuffed with oily residue were the most delicious thing in the world."

Yu smiled and said, "Then let's try it tomorrow."

Although the family has made dumplings filled with oily residue, they have never made dumplings with radish and oily residue.Ning Wan got up early the next morning and boiled a pot of oil residue. Ning Liang went to the cellar to get some big radishes. The dumplings stuffed with radish oil residue are cooked.

We are all a family, and there is no need to divide male and female seats. Tuantuan sits down and eats the dumplings stuffed with radish oil residue, "Well, it's exactly the taste I ate when I was young!"

"I didn't expect that the dumplings stuffed with radish oil residue are really delicious!"

After eating the dumplings, Dad led Auntie and Sister Xi back to Lishu Village with two donkeys, and Mother and Ning Wan sent them to the entrance of the village before returning.

A few days after the eldest aunt left, it was the social day of February [-]. After frying soybeans, she remembered the pork that was shared last year, and joked at home, "I don't know what Mr. Guo will share with the family this year, or two pigs." Hooves?"

Ning Wan also laughed, "It's good to divide the pig's trotters into two more. I haven't had time to cook the four at home, so I just stew them together." Another allusion came to mind, "It was still in the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Ping, He presides over sacrifices in the village, and every time the meat is divided, it is very fair. Everyone in the village admires him and thinks that he will have great achievements in the future. Later, he really became the prime minister!"

"It can be seen that this person who can be a high-ranking official can be seen from small things," Dad said, "I guess this time Mr. Guo will not be able to. Last time we had a fight because of Xiaoyan, and later Mr. Guo Every time he sees me, he will take the initiative to talk. I think Xiaoyan has also married off, and Qiu Zhu has also gone to serve in the army. It is a bit pitiful to look at him, so I have no choice but to ignore him."

"Your father is soft-hearted, so I don't care about Mrs. Guo," Yu said and made an excuse for her husband, "However, their men are different from our women, even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they can live on the surface. of."

After the sacrifice, Dad brought back a large sliver of good meat and put it in the stove, saying: "In Sanjia Village, our family has the most and the best meat. I am a little embarrassed to take it, but this meat is absolutely necessary."

The Ning family was already so good, so no one appreciated it. Instead, they said: "I used to think that Mr. Guo was a fair person, but now I can tell from the meat of these two times that his heart is really crooked." No wonder there are Guo Xiaoyan and Guo Qiuzhu in his family!"

If there are too many for the Ning family, there will naturally be less, and the villagers will naturally have discussions. Everyone thinks that Mr. Guo's heart is too unrighteous.It's the farm's free time, and when everyone has nothing to do, the east and the west will go for a walk. Eight times out of ten, they will mention how unreasonable the distribution of meat by Mr. Guo is. Even the few households of the Guo family also openly say so .But Mr. Guo is an elder in the village after all, and everyone is too embarrassed to speak in front of him, but he probably doesn't know, he just pretends not to know.

In a blink of an eye, the weather gradually warmed up, and the family sold the grain they had stored up for the winter before starting a business.It turned out that after the autumn harvest last year, the Ning family did not sell the rest of the grain except for paying taxes. One reason was that the family did not lack money to sell grain, and the other was that they knew when the grain price would be after a spring grain sale. At the highest point, the family is not in a hurry to spend money, so naturally it is better to store up and sell it now.

Every day, Dad leads the donkey to send the grain to Mayi Town, and gives some money to the grain shop after a bucket. Now he doesn't have so much free time to wait in the town to sell the grain.Even knowing that the price in Hutai County would be a little higher, they didn't send it because the journey was too far. Now the money for these grains is nothing to the Ning family, far less than the income of the shop.

When the wild vegetables had just grown, Ning Wan picked some by herself, plus those harvested in the village, she put together a basket and sent it to Hutai County with her father, but when she came back, she left a basket and sent it to Lu's house.

Madam Wu was very happy to see Ning Wan, "I was counting that you will come when the weather gets warmer." She then took out a red envelope and gave it to her, "This is the lucky money I left for you."

Ning Wan wanted to push, but Mrs. Wu hurriedly pressed her hand, "Take it, I give Tieshi one every year, and this year I added one for you, no trouble."

Holding the red envelope, Ning Wan felt that it contained a piece of money. Now that Mrs. Wu said this, she didn't know what it was, and it was even more strange to talk about her and Lu Tieshi side by side.

Mrs. Wu is a person who can't speak. Ning Wan comforted herself like this, and put away the red envelope again. She already owed Lu Tieshi a lot of favors, and she was not afraid to add a new year's money, and she would pay it back slowly.

Ning Wan then took out the wild vegetables she had picked, "It only grows in the field. I just have a new idea right now. I will give it to my wife when the cat melon vegetables in our village grow."

"The dishes that Tie Shi brought back from your village last time were very good," Mrs. Wu said, but smiled and took out a box from under the kang table, opened the lid and took out the top one to show Ning Wan, "Here is They were all letters written to me by Tie Shi, and the most recent one said that he had made a small flag!"

Ning Wan took a glance at the letter from Mrs. Wu, and read: "In autumn, when the barbarians robbed food, my son's military achievements were reported to Anpingwei, and he was transferred to the Ministry of War. He was instructed to reward 200 taels of silver, and my son will share it with all his colleagues. Therefore, my son was promoted to a small banner." In the imperial court system, the most important thing is to kill a barbarian army, and every time a barbarian is killed, he will get 50 taels of silver and be promoted to a higher level.It coincided with the rumors that the lame general Ning Wan had heard in the past killed four barbarians in a row and became famous in Duolun.

Think about it, Lu Tieshi is still dissatisfied at this time, but he has already killed the enemy and made meritorious service and was promoted to Xiaoqi, with ten adult sergeants under his command!Really amazing!But Ning Wan was not so excited, because she knew all this earlier, and Lu Tieshi would not stop here, he would move forward step by step.

Madam Wu was very surprised to see Ning Wan reading the letter, "Are you literate?"
