Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 501 Dad, shall we set off fireworks?
It was the first time for Bai Qian to see a wedding banquet in the countryside. She had either only attended hotel-style weddings or family-style weddings before. She felt that the scene in front of her was more real, livelier, and more rustic.

Cheng He said: "Our wedding here is still simple. In some places, the practice is called tradition. The groom rides a donkey, sees off the bride at night, etc. Our place is really simple."

In some places, it is true that the bride is sent off at night and the ceremony is held at night, and the bride still wears a black dress. In short, the customs are different in different places.

The world is so big, if it is just a custom, it would be boring.

Cheng He remembered that when he was young, the weddings in the village were really big battles. At that time, it was popular to choose the dowry. of.

There are ten sets of big red quilts, furniture, cabinets, dressing tables, etc. These wooden pieces are all made of logs. If you buy it, others will deliver it to your home.

Now the dowry is simpler - just a bank card, everything is included.

In fact, over the years, the wedding format of Taohua Village has also changed a lot, and many etiquettes have been gradually canceled or simplified.

For example, before getting married, when reporting the day, you used to bring tea and fruit snacks to relatives, and invite them to drink wedding wine;
It turns out that on the third day after the wedding, the newlyweds have to go back to their natal home, carrying the teapot and tea fruit, etc., to the natal uncle and other relatives, and serving tea and fruit next to each other. These are now simplified step by step, and some are even canceled directly. .

The original wedding was really lively and noisy, it was very lively. Compared with it now, it is really much deserted. Of course, no matter how deserted it is, at least it is more lively than the wedding banquets in the city.

The wedding banquet in the city is just a meal, all the relatives eat it, watch the ceremony and give a red envelope and it's over. There is nothing to do with the villagers, so it will not be so lively.

Cheng He thought of watching other people's marriages when she was a child, and thought it was very funny, so she couldn't help laughing, and told Bai Qian about it.

At that time, there was a family in the village who married their daughter, and the dowry really filled the yard, and it looked very happy.

When she got married, her nephew was already four or five years old. He was happy to see the lively house, but later the bridegroom came and picked up all the things in the yard.

Someone teased her nephew: "Look, those people picked up everything from your house, what should I do?"

The little nephew looked at it, and it wasn't so, everyone was picking new things in his yard, and they left as soon as they picked them up. He was anxious to stop them and not let them go.

He also cried and complained to his parents: "It's terrible, they picked all the things in our house, picked them all, hurry up and stop them."

At that time, a group of people laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

Bai Qian imagined a young lady, pulling others to prevent her from picking up the dowry in her yard, and she laughed when she thought about it, and said, "Four or five years old? Isn't that as big as Xinxin? It's really fun. "

Cheng He looked at Cheng Xinxin who was having fun, and said, "Well, it's about her age."

Cheng Xinxin held her fish lantern and looked at the lantern's shadow on the ground, flickering and flickering, feeling very amusing.

This was done last night, and I brought it to school today, and the teachers all praised it, and she also got a little red flower, which is beautiful in her heart.

This is what her father did for her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and many children are playing with lanterns. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be as lively as last year, and Cheng Shi's wedding will be even more lively.

Cheng Xinxin ran around wildly with the children, then ran back and said, "Dad, shall we play with fireworks?"

Playing with lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival is indispensable, but I don’t know when fireworks will be added.However, Cheng He had already prepared it long ago, as well as moon cakes and so on.

But it's only thirteen today, so it's still early before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cheng Xinxin took his hand, shook it, and said in a milky voice, "No, no, Dad, I want to set off fireworks today. Isn't there a moon today? How about we only set off one today and save one for tomorrow?" Let it go, okay?"

Cheng He smiled.

This is the case with children at home. Whoever has fireworks, firecrackers, etc., as long as there are children, it must be difficult to store them.

Children have a strong interest in fireworks and firecrackers, and they are usually scolded by adults, "the mice cannot be kept overnight". Cheng Xinxin is fine, because she dare not set it off by herself, so she asks her father.

If the boys were more courageous, they would secretly release them by themselves, without asking their father at all.

Hearing her delicate voice, Cheng He said, "Okay, put one up today, and save the rest for tomorrow."

Anyway, after buying these, didn't they just show them to her?

Walking back to the entrance of the courtyard, just as he was opening the door, he heard an acquaintance's voice shouting from behind: "Xiaoqian, Heizi, wait a moment..."

It is an aunt in this village, over 50 years old.

Cheng He turned around quickly and saw that this man had a bright smile and was holding a porcelain pot in his hand. When he saw them opening the yard door, he trotted after them.

Before Cheng He could ask, she said directly: "Heizi, Xiaoqian, this Yinmi powder can be made into tea, you take it."

Yinmi flour is what they call it in this area. It is a kind of snack. In fact, it is glutinous rice soaked and steamed, dried in the sun, and then rolled into powder.

Sometimes when you are hungry and it is not time to eat, you can drink this. It is very hungry and tastes good.

In the past, when we were poor, every family had nothing to eat. Those who could eat this meant that they were in a good financial situation.

And when they describe the rich landlord's family, they say that the landlord's wife can drink this every day, which shows that the landlord's wife has a high standard of living, which is very enviable.

In the past, some mothers who did not have enough milk used this to feed their children, and it is said that they can also make their children fat and fat.

At the mention of this, Cheng He also remembered that he hadn't eaten this for several years, not because he didn't like it, but because he really didn't think about it.

Seeing someone coming with a big porcelain jar, how could he have the nerve to just take it?Hastily declined and said: "No, no, aunt, you can keep it for yourselves."

The aunt pushed and said, "Heizi, then, you are still being polite to my aunt! If this is normal, I don't have anything to give, so I am too embarrassed to come here. You must know that Xiaoqian is not like before. Sometimes she gets hungry faster than others, so she can drink some of this, which is also nutritious. You must not refuse, go on!"

Today, her family not only earns money by relying on bamboo weaving skills, but also buys shares in tourism projects in the village and lives in a new house. Apart from dividends, she can also open a homestay to make money.

If it weren't for Cheng He, these things would be unthinkable.

As she said, Cheng He's family is not short of anything now, and there are usually no good things that can be handed out, so they didn't send them.

Now that she saw that Bai Qian's body was getting heavier, she thought that she should need this, so she made some and sent them to him.

Not to mention the value of these yin rice noodles, just this kind of heart can move people.

Cheng He refused, so he had no choice but to accept it, and said, "Thank you so much, auntie. Come, come in and sit for a while and have a cup of tea."

"Look at you, you're still saying thank you to your aunt, so much to see you! If it weren't for you, would my aunt's family live the way they are now? Our family should thank you!" Auntie said with a bright smile.

Not only her family, but the entire Taohua Village should be grateful to Cheng He.

Bai Qian was also touched when she saw the villagers bring a porcelain jar.How many times did the Bai family visit her when she was sick at home?
Let's not talk about it, now they see that Cheng He's medicine is famous, and they have found it here one by one!
All of them are profit-oriented.

Although it is said that now is the era of profit, and it is not wrong for people to pursue profit, but can it be done a little better?
Cheng He took the porcelain pot, and politely invited his aunt to drink tea at home. The aunt said no, and the grandson at home was still waiting for her to go back to help take a bath, and hurried away after saying a few words.

Cheng Xinxin waited for a long time, and when the person finally left, she asked, "Father, what is this?"

She was waiting for her father to set off the fireworks, but it had been a long time.

Cheng He said, "This is delicious."

"What's delicious?" Upon hearing that it was delicious, Cheng Xinxin immediately ran over and stood on tiptoe to have a look.

Cheng He opened the lid, let her take a look, and said, "Drink it with boiled water tomorrow, it's very fragrant."

After all, it is home-grown glutinous rice, which is much more fragrant than bought ones.
