Portable fairy garden space

Chapter 136
On the third day, this day is New Year's Eve, after tonight it will be the Spring Festival.

Generally, Chinese people start eating and drinking at home on this day, and it doesn’t end until the second or third day of junior high school, and in some places, this practice doesn’t even stop until after the end of the entire Spring Festival.

It feels like all the things I haven’t been able to eat for a year are all made up during this Spring Festival.

It is inevitable that some people joke that Chinese festivals are spent in eating and drinking, and every festival is full of fish and meat, with good food and wine.

The village is very lively today. The children in the whole village are running around in the village, and the noises, big and small, have never stopped.

Luo Mai looked at those little kids playing with some nostalgia, and he also saw what he looked like back then in them. Those days are gone forever.

It’s like this every year. In a big city, the more advanced the city is, the less the flavor of the New Year every year. It doesn’t feel like a New Year’s Eve.

Because in the eyes of urban people, traditional festivals such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are no different from usual. There is no atmosphere for eating and drinking.

When Luo Mai was in high school and college, he felt more and more that if he didn't pay attention in the city, he really couldn't tell that it was the Chinese New Year, and he didn't have that kind of festive feeling.

On the contrary, in rural areas, this feeling is still very strong. Those children can buy new clothes today, and they will buy some sugar cakes and other things at home during the Chinese New Year. Their mouths that have been greedy for a year can finally be beaten at this time. up.

This makes them very happy, and sometimes they will gather together and compare the candies in their hands with each other. The winners are complacent, and the losers are only a little bit depressed. After playing the game, they will return to the original state.

"Luo Mai! Luo Mai!" Luo Mai was staring at the little kids who were playing in a daze, when Luo Mai ran over from a distance and called Luo Mai's name.

"Hey? What's the matter?" Luo Mai came back to his senses, stood up and asked after looking at Chen Yang.

"Let's go, today's New Year's Eve, the team is dividing the fish, that is, in the big pond in the team." Luo Jun ran out of breath, and he also heard what the villagers said halfway, so he was in a hurry He ran over and called Luo Mai.

In the past, there was a system of production teams in the village. A village was divided into brigades and small teams. Although the reform and opening up had already been carried out, they still call it that way now.

"Share the fish? All right, let's go and have a look." Luo Mai immediately became interested when he heard the word.

When he was young, he, Luo Jun and the children who used to play together in the village would watch the adults fishing in the pond together at this time. Whenever they caught a big fish, they would exclaim from the shore stand up.

When the fish arrived on the shore, a large group of children gathered around them, wanting to touch the fish. If an adult happened to see it, they would inevitably scold them.

"Hey, little kids! The fish is divided in the team, do you want to go?" Luo Mai shouted to the kids before leaving.

"Uncle Mai, wait for us!" The little kids' eyes lit up immediately after hearing what Luo Mai said, and they swarmed towards Luo Mai, and followed him to the pond.

Luo Mai secretly smiled, it seems that these little kids are the same as they were back then, they are so skinny, they have to join in the fun if there is any excitement.

Luo Mai saw a little boy running behind the group of children. It was Rossi who called him last time when he came to the old house. He started running very carefully for fear of falling.

Luo Mai quickly walked to him, hugged him in his arms, and followed the children just now.

"Hey, Luo Jun, how many fish are there in each family now?" Luo Mai asked while hugging Rossi.

"Who knows this now? I don't know either. I'll find out after a while." Chen Yang shrugged, expressing that he didn't know.

"Uncle, I know, I know..." Rossi, who was originally held in Luo Mai's arms, said in a childish voice.

"Oh? Rossi knows, how much fish can Rossi tell uncle?" Luo Mai asked, scratching his face.

"Hmm... that's right, just two!" Rossi stretched out his palm and gestured.

"Haha..." Luo Mai and Luo Jun laughed when they saw Rossi's appearance. Rossi didn't know what they were laughing at, but they laughed too.

When I came to the pond in the village, the water in the pond had almost been drained, and someone was already catching fish in it, and the village chief was also watching.

"Village Chief!" Luo Mai walked up to Luo Guohua and greeted him.

"Hey, Luo Mai is here, why are you bringing a bunch of little bastards with you?" Luo Guohua said with a smile after seeing Luo Mai.

"Bring them over to join in the fun." Luo Mai said as he put little Rossi down, first told those little kids to be careful, and then let them pass by and play by themselves.

Luo Mai turned his gaze to the pond. There was a lot of mud in the pond. Those who went fishing put on clothes specially designed to cut off the mud and water.

"Master Guohua, how many fish can each family get?" Luo Mai asked Luo Guohua. He didn't believe what Rossi said just now, after all, he was just a child.

"In the past two years, each household has had two fish of about two catties, which is much better than one fish per household before." Luo Guohua sighed and said with some relief.

"Two two catties, that's good." Luo Mai nodded, unexpectedly what Rossi said just now was true, but he didn't say it was two two catties fish.

"Yeah, but I don't know if this pond village is still doing business. I put energy into management every year, but in the end I can't make much money after being divided in the team." Luo Guohua told Luo Mai about this.

"Is that so? If no one does it, how will we deal with this pond?" Luo Mai continued to ask the next step.

"Well, let's talk about it if we really decide not to do it at that time. Hey, a big fish, let's go and have a look." Luo Guohua saw a big fish caught from the pond, and hurriedly urged Luo Mai and Luo Jun walked closer to the shore.

Listening to Luo Guohua's words, Luo Mai suddenly had an idea in his mind. If the village really didn't want to build this pond, then he could contract the pond and use it for breeding, which happened to be another way to get rich.

However, in this situation, I should first suppress this thought and stop thinking about it for the time being. I am at the end of my middle age, so let's have a good year with peace of mind.

Luo Mai and Luo Jun watched the pond for about two hours, and finally finished the fishing process, put all the fish they caught in one place, and then began to divide the fish one by one.

Zhang Lan and Luo Sheng didn't come, because she saw Luo Mai when she came over just now, so she just let Luo Mai come and pick it up.

"Come on, Luo Mai, I've come to your house. Here, this belongs to your house. There are fish every year!" After waiting for a long time, the village chief Luo Guohua began to divide the fish among families according to their seniority.

After handing the two fish to Luo Mai, Luo Guohua said an auspicious word. This is also the reason for the tradition of dividing fish during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Guohua, and I wish you fish every year!" Luo Mai took the fish and took a look at it. The two fish, each weighing two catties, looked really big.

Then they arrived at Luo Jun's house, and Luo Jun also took two fish that were similar to Luo Mai's two just now, and the two of them went back after sharing the fish.

"Master Guohua, let's go first." Luo Mai said to Luo Guohua who was busy sharing fish among the crowd, and then went back with Luo Jun.

Luo Mai and Luo Jun each carried two fish and went back to their respective homes. When they reached the door, Xiao Hei ran out of the house and sniffed the fish in Luo Mai's hand.

As a result, it sneezed and walked into the house without looking back.

"Hey, you bastard, what kind of expression is this?" Luo Mai couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Xiao Hei doing this. Is this a dislike for these fish?
Xiao Hei just smelled that these fish were not from the fairy garden, and turned his head away in distaste. It really doesn't care about the ordinary food now. If it is a vegetable that has not been watered with the fairy garden spirit water, it will basically not eat it. of.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Luo Mai walked into the house with the fish, shouted, and put the fish into the basin in the kitchen.

I looked at the time, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Today is a special day, and every household starts to prepare dinner every time it is a festival.

At home, dinner is usually prepared very early, and then it is eaten soon. If you are hungry after eating, you can have another meal in the evening.

And today is New Year's Eve, and we have to watch the New Year's Eve at night. This is also a Chinese tradition, and it has always been like this in the past.

There are also red envelopes given by the elders to the younger ones for the New Year. When the children go to bed at night, they put the red envelopes they receive under their pillows to sleep. It is said that this is to prevent the year from disturbing the children.

Luo Mai was always given red envelopes by his parents when he was a child, and it was only a few yuan at a time. Although the money was small, as long as he received red envelopes, Luo Mai would be happy all day long.

Luo Mai will store the red envelope money received in one place and never spend it randomly.

And today I have to go to the ancestral hall in the village to worship the ancestors, and set off firecrackers at night. These are all passed down from the past. Although the customs are different in each place, they are all similar.

After talking to his parents, Luo Mai started to prepare dinner.

Zhang Lan also came to the kitchen to help, and grabbed a fat-looking hen from the chicken coop. With Zhang Lan's help, Luo Mai killed the hen and began to deal with it.

After finishing the chicken, Luo Mai started to kill the fish, while Zhang Lan was on the sidelines choosing vegetables.

Busy in the kitchen, it wasn't until about four o'clock that the New Year's Eve dinner was finished tonight. First, all the dishes were covered, and Luo Mai, Zhang Lan, and Luo Sheng prepared the things to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Luo Mai took advantage of this time to drive to the town to buy some candles, firecrackers and other things, and then quickly returned to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

After a lot of tossing, it was finally time to eat. Luo Mai and his parents sat on the stool and looked at the delicious food on the table. Luo Mai, who didn't feel anything at first, felt hungry instantly.

Under Luo Sheng's order, Luo Mai started to move his chopsticks.

Luo Jun didn't come over for dinner tonight, and Luo Mai didn't call him. This was the first meal, and the reunion dinner was eaten at home, so Luo Jun also wanted to eat at his own home.

They can only drink together at night.
