Chapter 54 Customs
So many pairs of eyes watching.He Xiaoxi can testify that she didn't play tricks on the price of the things she bought.Going back to Mrs. Liu to ask for money is not a problem.

Liu's advantage of not having a family came out, she couldn't hide far away, she had to go home at night, and she couldn't run away from the temple if she ran away from the monk.

As a large market in more than ten nearby villages, the market is full of things and things.The price is more expensive than the things sold at the temple fairs several times a year.

But temple fairs are mostly held in spring before the wheat harvest.It's already summer, so it's unrealistic to wait until spring to buy.

Three women play a show, a group of women gather around the stall, bargaining for He Xiaoxi.Talking about the helplessness of the stall owner really helped Liu save a lot of money.

The people who followed were all friends with Mrs. Qu, Aunt He or Aunt Ma, and they knew the details of the He family.He knew that this was the last time Zai He Zhonghuai and his wife made their last stab.It's the last hammer sale, and you won't be able to find this store after passing this village.

Talking about what to buy.They are all people who live a life, and under the collective wisdom, they bought a complete set by noon.Chopsticks, bowls, hoes, iron plows, chopping boards, chopping boards...Put them on the car one by one.

It was only halfway through the purchase that everyone remembered to keep accounts.If you don't keep accounts, how can you reconcile with Liu later?
In He Xiaoxi's previous life, he first went to a literacy class and then followed his son to study, so he took off the hat of being illiterate.General calculation and text can be competent.But an uneducated country girl suddenly became literate, and there was no way to make up the reason, so she could only hide her clumsiness.

Fortunately, Qu Shi found it.Knowing everyone's embarrassment, she found a shop and borrowed paper and pens, and she helped keep the accounts.

Everyone asked about the result of the blind date.There was a smile on the corner of Qu's lips: "Auntie Xiaoxi and the others were invited by the bride's family to sit at home." This means that it is almost done.

After walking around the whole market, except for the stone mill, I bought everything else.Everyone went home.

On the way back, Aunt Qu got out of the car to return the pen and ink.When I came back, I told He Xiaoxi: "There happened to be an acquaintance in the store. That person was grinding stone mills. I asked for you. There are two, three, and five yuan according to the size. If you want, pay half of the deposit first." Bring He Xiaoxi went into the store to ask for details.

After entering the shop, Aunt Qu grabbed He Xiaoxi and told her that what she just said was just an excuse, and there was no so-called acquaintance selling stone mills.Just looking for a reason to allow He Xiaoxi to get the money for the stone mill out of Mrs. Liu's hands.

He Xiaoxi held Aunt Qu's hand, unable to say any words of gratitude.At this time, she was very grateful that she decided to get close to Aunt Qu and rely on Aunt Qu that day.

When the two came out, they only said that the population was small, and they ordered a three-yuan medium-sized stone mill to pull it in a few days.

Liu's original plan was to delay the item of buying things.Unexpectedly, He Xiaoxi and his party bought it first, and then asked her for money.

So those eyes watching.Not to mention a nosy big horse, and a difficult elder sister in the middle, the money is not good.

At this time, Mrs. Liu's intestines are full of regrets. If she knew this, she might as well go and arrange it herself.If she goes to buy things, some things that are rarely used in daily life can be saved.

Looking at the things that were unloaded one by one, it seemed to hear the sound of money rushing away from the wallet.Liu's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and his heart throbbed in pain.

Simply had lunch.As soon as it was packed, the invited people arrived one after another.Because it is only a matter of rewriting the deed of family separation, and the work of inviting the people to drink water will be done.That is to say, the relationship between He Xiaoxi and his family is complicated, and I am afraid that they will not be able to explain it clearly in the future. Generally, the separation of families cannot even be written on the deed.

No one stayed to eat either.Of course, if people see the master's black and blue face drooping to her feet, they will not stay to see her face.They all said that they had something to do at home, so they all said goodbye and left.

It's also because He Xiaoxi and the others went too deep today, making Liu Shi, who is usually the best at saving face, lose face.

Aunt He can only stay for one night because of the distance.If it was before, with Aunt He's violent temper, she would rather walk in the dark at night than stay to see Liu's face.Today is different from the past, what she eats is her nephew, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Liu.He also raised his face, without pinching Liu Shi from the corners of his eyes.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no rush to make dinner and it was still early, He Xiaoxi took Aunt He and the others to visit the new house in the future.In fact, there is nothing to be picky about. Except for the bloody incidents that have happened on this land, no one can find any problems in this land.

Near the creek, there is a row of miscellaneous trees, and a layer of shrubs under the trees.Aunt He suggested filling up the small ditches that were naturally formed when the streams flowed, leaving streams and ponds behind.Get rid of those miscellaneous trees.As far as Feng Shui is concerned, some trees are not suitable to be planted in front of the hall or behind the house.If you want to plant trees, you can choose some suitable tree species to plant.

Hearing that the old elm tree in the southwest corner could be given to them as a gift, Aunt He and his cousin were very happy for He Xiaoxi and the others.He Xiaoxi has never built a house in his previous life, so he has no clear idea of ​​what this elm tree means to them.But Aunt He is different from her elder cousin. Their life experience and the industry their son and husband are engaged in make them more knowledgeable than other women in this regard.

The eldest cousin stood under the elm tree, measured the circumference of the tree with her hands, raised her head to estimate the height, and exchanged glances with Aunt He happily: "It's almost enough for the beams of three houses."

At dinner time, He Xiaoxi set up the bellows, and the food was cooked very quickly.Eating and chatting around the newly bought chopping board.Of course, the topic mainly revolved around this blind date and the new house that He Xiaodong and the others will build.

He Xiaodong was very happy when he heard that the tree was enough to be a beam.For building a house, like driving a car in later generations, men are naturally more proficient than women.So He Xiaodong knew better than his sister how the existence of that tree would help them.

After years of war, the mountains in many places are bare.Although there are more trees on the mountain in Shuidong Village than in other places because of the impassable road.But there are also large areas of exposed mountains in many places.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government advocated tree planting and greening.One is that the implementation is not good, the villagers are asked to go up the mountain to work, no one provides saplings, and the greening process is not ideal.Furthermore, even if some trees are planted, they will survive, but the trees are too young to become talents, and it will not be enough for a while.

It is also a public tree that can be used. It is okay to cut some branches to make firewood, but not to cut down the whole tree.Someone was sentenced to seven years in prison for cutting down a tree without permission, and the punishment was not insignificant.In the previous life, the greening was officially implemented two years later.

Aunt He did all the work of felling trees and unpacking wood.There are two ready-made carpenters in her family, and hand tools are not a problem.

He Xiaoxi wanted to wait until the flood passed before building a house.In her previous life, she only remembered where the entire village was flooded by an ocean, but she didn't remember exactly where it was flooded.People fled to the hillside to take refuge, and came back to rebuild their homes after the water receded. Because they escaped hastily, many things were washed away by the water, and there was no time to take them away.He Xiaoxi didn't want the fruits of hard work to come to naught without enjoying it.

He Xiaoxi proposed to start construction after the rainy season.It can be built before the cold weather, just in time for the little nephew to be born in the new house.

There is a custom in the local area: to borrow marriage but not to marry, to borrow death but not to live.

Borrowing other people's houses, meeting weddings and funerals, newborns, etc., can marry wives in other people's houses, but not daughters.It's okay for an old man to die in the house, but a woman cannot give birth or confine herself in the house.

 Ten miles have different sounds, but hundreds of miles have different customs.The customs and habits of each place are different.Customs are a very interesting thing.

  I used to go to the Folklore Museum to see the exhibition.It is an exhibition with the theme of locks.All kinds of ancient locks are dazzling.Heiyu couldn't take his eyes off it.

  Some old objects, if no one organizes and collects them, will slowly be lost in the long river of history.

  Thanks to those who put together this stuff.Some of them rely on their interests to support them to engage in these jobs.There is no dedicated source of funding, all are self-funded.It is also another form of dedication to history and future generations.

  The following is the special edition for collecting, recommending, commenting and scoring.
