Chapter 73 Less meat

"Aww-"

The big rooster's comb in He's small courtyard was already bright red, and its feathers were also very bright. After it crowed for the last time, Zhao Shuangxi grabbed its wings and led it into the kitchen.

"In the evening, we will worship our ancestors. Look at how beautiful our chickens are!" Zhao Shuangxi has already shed the feathers of the rooster, and she deliberately left a few bright feathers aside. Use it to make feather shuttlecocks!"

"Let me do it." He Qinzheng walked in from the door, took the chicken feather with his hand, and left.

"Look at how much your second brother loves you, I really don't want you to do anything." Zhao Shuangxi said jokingly.

"That's not all the sons born by mothers are good, and they are also good at teaching. Maybe God owed me in the previous life, and now I have to make up for it all!"

He Lanshan pursed her lips and smiled, her brother really had nothing to say, just said that a few days ago, just because the chubby next door said that he must be ugly when he grows up, He Qinmao called two brothers to knock out chubby's front teeth up.

In the end, it was Zhao Shuangxi who brought a pig's knuckle to make amends. The fat aunt was kind, so the two families did not end their feud.

While the mother and daughter were talking, He Jinyi ran in panting all the way. He looked at Zhao Shuangxi and hesitated to speak.

"Is it something about the old house?" Zhao Shuangxi didn't want to call Mrs. He and old man "father and mother" instead, so he called them by the old house instead. Apart from the things over there, he couldn't think of anything that would make He Jinyi Embarrassed.

"Father and mother told us to have a reunion dinner at night." When He Jinyi said it, he was a little bit lacking in confidence. There was no interaction there in the past few months.

The only time he called He Jinyi was to ask him to go back and help collect the radishes.

"No." Zhao Shuangxi didn't even raise her eyelids, and continued to pluck her chicken feathers. The big cock in her hand was about to become a naked chicken. Her body was white and clean, without a single hair.

He Lanshan silently gave Zhao Shuangxi a thumbs up, if she wanted to reject it, she would be quick and easy.

"Success, I'll go back." He Jinyi didn't hesitate, respecting Zhao Shuangxi.

Zhao Shuangxi called back He Jinyi, who was about to go out, and stopped the movement of her hands, "Well, go and borrow a bullock cart to pick up my brother's family. I want to celebrate the New Year with them."

"Success!" He Jinyi agreed heartily again.

Seeing him go out, Zhao Shuangxi heaved a sigh of relief, and murmured to He Lanshan, "I thought your father would be unhappy, but instead of going to eat with his parents, let's eat with your uncle."

"That's different. Grandpa and grandma know to take advantage of it. Although my uncle is poor, he hasn't taken advantage of our family." He Lanshan had been watching secretly for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Shuangxi had faded the chicken feathers, she took another basin for her. She, put the chicken through the water again.

In the afternoon, the ancestor worship in the ancestral hall began.

Every household puts a mahogany tray there, and usually uses five or six kinds of sacrifices, like He Jinyi's, which is in better condition, it may be a chicken, a fish, some carrots, some dried beans, and a knife of pork.

The old lady's one is just a chicken, with Chinese cabbage, radish, beans, and dried tofu.

There are also some poorer families, so they just put five or six steamed buns.

After all, these things have to be taken back to eat after the ancestor worship, and some people are reluctant to buy them.

As soon as the firecrackers for ancestor worship started here, He Lanshan came over to call Zhao Shuangxi over there. Zhao Yao had already brought his wife and children over, so Zhao Shuangxi had to go home first, and it would not be too late to come and get the sacrifices when the time came.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Xiao Wu." When Zhao Shuangxi returned home, he saw three people sitting in the main room. They were all a little restrained, while quietly looking at the new house of the He family.

It is spacious and bright, and it will cost a lot of money to build this, Zhao Yao's family said silently in their hearts.

This was the first time that Mrs. Xu left the hospital after she got married. If He Jinyi hadn't driven an ox cart to pick her up, she would never have come. Because of her face, Mrs. Xu was sitting in the house wearing a bamboo hat.

The bamboo hat was changed by herself, and there is a circle of cloth under the bamboo hat.

"Uncle, aunt, Brother Xiaowu drink water." He Lanshan brought three cups of brown sugar water over on a tray, but she underestimated the strength of her body and staggered along the way.

When Zhao Xiaowu saw it, he quickly went over to take the tray, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Idiot, what should you do if you burned yourself?" As if to cover up something, he added a sentence later, "Auntie will feel bad."

He Lanshan's attention fell on Mrs. Xu, so she snuggled up to her and took off her bamboo hat, "Auntie, how do you drink tea while wearing this? You haven't taken it off to get some air. There is no one in the room." look at you."

"Hey." Mrs. Xu didn't struggle, but looked at He Lanshan a few more times.

Why is she not afraid of herself at all, but her face scares her even when she looks at it. Sometimes when she is washing vegetables, she is shocked when she suddenly sees it on the water.

Thinking of what Zhao Yao said about He Lanshan's poor mind before, but then she suddenly became enlightened. Maybe the people who have been treated by the Bodhisattva are also kind-hearted. Xu looked at He Lanshan with even more liking.

"Double Happiness, you forgot to take the sacrifice, I brought it back for you!" the fat lady next door yelled at the door.

Xu subconsciously turned around, for fear that others would see her appearance.

He Lanshan followed Zhao Shuangxi out, turned her head and said, "I will never let her in." This was for Mrs. Xu.

"Mother, my cousin is very good." Zhao Xiaowu's gaze has been chasing He Lanshan's back. The love in the young man's eyes cannot be faked. She likes this cousin, perhaps because of her character or because of her kind heart.

"Yes, your eldest aunt's family is very good." Xu said.

But she looked down at the shoes she had sewed and mended many times, and the clothes all over her body, Xu said in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, let's just sit in the room and don't go out. .to be seen...not good."

"Your mother is right." Zhao Yao lowered his head and clenched his fists on his lap, and couldn't help coughing a few more times.

"Father, I understand." Although Zhao Xiaowu has single eyelids, his eyes are big and clear.He understood what his parents meant, they would embarrass his aunt if they went out.

He Lanshan and Zhao Shuangxi were talking to Fat Aunt in the yard.

Because every household used mahogany trays for ancestor worship, so they would write their names on the trays for fear of confusion.

But Zhao Shuangxi didn't get any results, so he frowned and said, "Little fat lady, has anyone touched the things in my tray?"

"Ah? Xiaofeng Niang, do you suspect that I took your things!" Fat Aunt muttered displeasedly. She helped Zhao Shuangxi bring things back with good intentions, so why was she suspected of being a thief? .

"Fat Aunt, why do you think so? My mother always said that one should learn from Fat Uncle and Aunt Fat. Uncle Fat once picked up a gold earring and gave it back to others." Seeing that Aunt Fat was angry, He Lanshan hurriedly Said a few nice words.

The fat aunt saw that He Lanshan could speak, and her face turned cloudy.

"Little Feng Niang, don't blame me for calling you, why did this ancestor worship leave, what are you missing?"

"Half a knife is missing!"
