Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 446
Gu Qiaoling's elder brother just smiled honestly, while her younger brother's attention was mainly focused on the eight gifts brought by Yang Qilang. He was not interested in the four bottles of wine. He mainly studied the four bottles of canned food and predicted in his mind what they were smell.

According to normal etiquette, the new son-in-law will eat here at noon. The woman's family, including relatives, may want to see how the new son-in-law behaves when eating and drinking. He is honest and dishonest. Is there something wrong with his head? drink etc.

But because it was just before the new year, everyone had a lot of work to be done at home, and they were all eager to go back. Under Chen Cang's suggestion, they didn't stop here at noon, but got up and returned after sitting for more than an hour.

Before leaving, Yang Qilang also received five yuan from the woman's family as a door-to-door fee. The woman's payment of this money is almost equivalent to announcing his identity.

Then the following process is simple. The woman's parents or relatives go to the man's house to look after the house and then get engaged, and get married when they are about the same age.

Yang Qilang's family has seven elder brothers, and the sixth elder brother above is unmarried. He can only get married after his sixth elder brother gets married.

Gu Qiaoling is only seventeen this year, so she is not in a hurry.

When his sixth brother gets married and gets separated, the four houses in his family will be his, and then he can consider getting married.

After returning home, Wan Feng sent the tractor to the brick and tile factory. Its mission was completed in the first year, and it will be after the Chinese New Year if it is used again.

When returning home and passing by Luan Feng's house, Wan Feng saw many people in Luan Feng's house helping to paste the walls and sheds. The suspicion of slipping mustache.

Seeing so many people helping, Wan Feng didn't go in but went home directly.

The walls and sheds of grandma's house have been pasted up, and grandparents, aunts, aunts and others are steaming tofu in the kitchen.

At that time, there were no tofu sellers. During the Chinese New Year, every family would grind their own beans to make tofu, and then put them outside to freeze, and eat frozen tofu during the Chinese New Year.

Frozen tofu has a bit more bite than fresh tofu and has a special fragrance, which is Wan Feng's favorite food.

While his aunt was making tofu outside, Wan Feng went to his aunt's room and opened his iron box to check the contents.

The box was welded by Xiao Dexiang with [-]mm thick white steel. The inside and outside were painted with anti-rust paint, and the outside was painted with a layer of dark red paint on top of the anti-rust paint. It looked nothing like a wooden box. the difference.

A layer of thick paper was laid under the box, and all Wanfeng's family property was in this box.

In addition to some tape recorder accessories, the rest of the box is full of bundles of money. There are more than forty bundles of ten yuan bundles, and bundles of five yuan and two yuan bills. There is a stack of deposit slips of about fifteen thousand.

It would be great if it was a hundred yuan face value, and it would take such a big battle to get it done in three bundles and five bundles.

Too much money is also a troublesome thing.

Of course, my grandma's family didn't know what was in the box. If they knew that Wan Feng had so much money, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

After the tofu was ready, Zhu Ping took a relatively straight pole about four meters long standing against the wall to the flat ground, checked whether the pulleys on the crossbar tied with iron wires on the pole were rusty, and checked the wooden poles. The rod has not been corroded by insects.

This is the whip stick specially used by people here to set off the whip during Chinese New Year.

When the firecrackers are set off in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, the firecrackers are hung on this pole and rise into the air. The locals call it Fazi.

For many years, Wan Feng didn't figure out what the word "purple" meant, nor did he know which word it was, so he used purple instead.

Don't underestimate the purpleness, there is still a lot to pay attention to here. If the purple whip is set off smoothly, it means that everything is going well for the family in the coming year. If the purple whip breaks the bridge halfway, there must be something wrong with the family in the coming year. Very bad.

This is not some feudal superstition, Wan Feng has experienced these things before, the purple firecrackers have a problem, no matter if there are some disturbing things happening this year, and it is not a trivial matter.

In addition, it doesn't matter whether the firecrackers sound or not in other time periods.

Therefore, every family attaches great importance to the firecrackers that are set off when they are purple, and they always choose those firecrackers that feel safe.

Of course, this is a matter for future generations.

In [-], you didn't have much choice even if you wanted to. Except that Gangtou was whipped, there was no choice.

Setting off firecrackers is also Wan Feng's hobby, so of course he has to join in the excitement.

So he ran over to help Zhu Ping with the whip stick.

The pulley on the crossbar was replaced with a new one, and two whip ropes were inserted.

Wan Feng went back to the house and took out a string of small flags that Luan Feng had made out of colorful cloth heads in advance and wrapped them around the whip to make the whip colorful.

"Next year, we will use iron pipes to weld a whip frame, so as to save some wood, we will have to replace it in three to five years."

Wan Feng's suggestion was approved by Zhu Ping.

"That would have to be higher."

"Then make it [-] meters, let's make a fuss."

In 666, except for the people in Xianggang area, no one paid attention to the meanings of the numbers [-] and [-]. Wan Feng's suggestion made Zhu Ping feel novel.

Wan Feng, who has experience in later generations, also made two small iron windmills out of iron sheets and installed them on the crossbar at the top of the whip frame.

After the whip poles were tidied up, the uncle and nephew worked together to set up the whip poles in the earth pit that Zhuping had dug before the first frost.

It was not an easy task to stand up a whip pole four or five meters high, and it took some effort for the two of them to insert the whip into the pit.

The pit was more than a foot deep, and the big end of the whip was inserted into it. Zhu Ping straightened the pole, and Wan Feng scooped water from the water tank and poured it into the pit. After a few minutes, the water froze to ice, and the whip stood firm. there.

After Wan Feng's upside down, the whip of Zhuping's family is different this year. Not only are there colorful flags on the whip, but also the two iron windmills on the crossbar are whistling in the wind, which is very attractive. human gaze.

The children playing on the street all ran to watch the excitement.

After the whip was erected, Wan Feng took out a five-hundred-ring Gangtou and tied it to the whip rope to pull it up. Isn't the whip just for letting go when you buy it, let's enjoy it first.

The children burst into cheers when they saw the firecrackers set off.

After the whip was raised, Zhu Ping lit the whip with a cigarette butt, and the first burst of firecrackers sounded in the east.

"Keep it for the Chinese New Year!" Grandma stuck her head out of the kitchen and shouted.

"Don't listen to her, keep playing it!" Wan Feng bewitched Zhu Ping, so Zhu Ping continued playing it stupidly.

It's not a disadvantage for my uncle to set off the whip.

After releasing three small whips in a row, he stopped.

After the whips were set off, the children from the neighbors swarmed up and gathered under the whips to pick up the squibs that didn't go off.

　The second watch arrives!
