It snowed heavily that morning, Hua Bubai, Tang Linger, Tang Ye, Jiuwei, Lin Sheng, Shangguan Laner and a group of people came to the Exorcism Pavilion early in the morning to look for us.
What we saw when we opened the door was that several people in red clothes appeared at our door. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Several people were wearing bright red scarves.
"Good morning!" Tang Linger greeted us with a smile.
"Why is it early? I should say Happy New Year!" Hua Bubai came up from behind, carrying a big bag in his hand. When he saw the two of us, he opened the bag and took out two bright red scarves and looked at ours.
Wearing it, he said, "This one is just right for you. The red one adds a bit of joy. Don't be like that fox. Wear all white during the Chinese New Year."
Jiuwei glared at Hua Bubai, but he wasn't angry at all. He glanced at the red scarf around his neck. It was a silk scarf. Although it was very bright, it matched Jiuwei's clothes quite well. It should be,
Hua Bubai specially prepared it.
Hua Bubai prepared two scarves for us. The one for Ma Xiaolan was a rabbit fur scarf, and the one for me was a red woolen scarf. I wrapped it around my neck and said, "I just feel a chill on my neck. When will you
Are you so considerate of others?"
"It's not my proposal." Tang Ling'er glanced at Hua Bubai with contempt, "It's shameless to take credit for my proposal."
"Then it's my fault, okay? If I hadn't gone out to pick out scarves that day, would you have thought of this? You wouldn't have thought of it, you wouldn't have thought of how you suggested it, and I picked these all!" Hua Bubai
Stubborn mouth.
Tang Linger raised her fist, and Hua Bubai immediately shut up, not daring to say a word.
After a while of fussing, we set off.
Tang Ye asked me: "Why don't you wait for Li Juan?"
"Sister Li has something to do. The company's affairs haven't been settled yet, so she can only come over at night. It's just us during the day," I said.
After getting in the car, we all headed to our house in the countryside.
In fact, we rarely come to the house in the countryside. We haven't been there since the funeral for Shangguan Tianqing. Only Lin Sheng and Guan Laner occasionally go there to clean it, but they don't go there often.
Yesterday, Ma Xiaolan and I went over to clean and tidy up the room. We were thinking that everyone might drink a lot tonight, so we tidied up a few more rooms so that we wouldn’t have to come back. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
, you can also spend it at home and go to the nearby mountains to burn incense.
It snowed heavily in the morning, and there was some snow on the road. Fortunately, it only snowed for a few hours. By this time, a lot of the snow on the road had melted, and the road was still quite easy to walk. Plus, our house in the countryside
The roads are always easy to walk, so it's quite convenient.
It was only about half past eight when we arrived in the countryside.
We started to divide the work and prepare things. According to our custom here, on New Year's Eve, we should pay homage to our ancestors and relatives at home.
We plan to pay homage to everyone who died that time and celebrate the New Year together. If they were not dead, they would probably be celebrating the New Year with us at this time, but they have all left us.
In fact, I really hope that the Lord of Hell can bring them here again. I know that such behavior is very unnatural, but I still hope in my heart.
I haven't even seen Lord Yama since I got married.
After we fiddled with it for a while, we placed an Eight Immortals table in the hall. Tang Ye and Lin Shenglai were busy in the kitchen, Tang Linger and Guan Laner served the dishes, and I, Ma Xiaolan, and Jiuwei were setting up the Eight Immortals table outside.
This custom is quite simple, just like normal people eating, just put dishes on it, put wine cups on it, light incense and candles and that's it.
Tang Ye and Lin Sheng were truly good family men. After a lot of work, the dishes they cooked were put on the table one after another.
Although I don’t know how it tastes, it looks very good and smells very good. It makes me salivate just looking at it.
After placing all the dishes on the table, we lit the incense candles and worshiped at the side.
I set up a brazier nearby and burned some yellow paper, and then poured the wine. I poured the wine three times in total. After three times, the worship was completed.
After extinguishing the candles, Tang Ye went out and set off three firecrackers.
I was originally expecting that the Lord of Hell would bring my grandfather and the others to me, but they never came. I looked at the incense and the food on the table didn't change at all, and I couldn't feel the presence of ghosts.
It seems that this group of people didn't come after all. 2c I feel a little lonely after all thinking that they didn't come.
Fortunately, there were many of us and it was very lively. Although that group of people did not come, our disappointment did not last long.
Amidst Hua Bubai's shouting that he was hungry, we started making a fuss. In fact, Ma Xiaolan, I, and Tang Ye didn't make much fuss. They just made a big fuss, and then Hua Bubai said he wanted to eat dumplings. Later,
We started making dumplings with the prepared ingredients.
There were some coins or something in the dumplings. Actually, this is not the custom here, but Hua Bubai said we should do it, so we did it.
Making dumplings is also quite interesting.
Originally, girls should be better at making these things, but unfortunately, Ma Xiaolan, Tang Linger, and Shangguan Laner have only known how to eat dumplings. They have never done anything like making dumplings, so they tried their best to make them look like dumplings.
, but in the end it was never made.
The dumplings turned out to be really uglier than the last, not to mention us men.
I made a pile of dumplings, each one looks like a steamed bun.
Especially Hua Bubai, the guy who suggested eating dumplings, the shape of the dumplings he made was really speechless.
"Is what you made called dumplings?" Tang Ling'er couldn't stand it anymore, and violently hit Hua Bubai on the head.
"It's not dumplings, of course they are dumplings." Hua Bubai said with an aggrieved look.
"Sorry, you still said you wanted to eat dumplings. This thing doesn't look like a dumpling at all. It just looks like a squashed bun!" Tang Ling'er held up a dumpling made by Hua Bubai to show us, "You guys should take a look.
This thing doesn't look like a dumpling."
"It does look a bit like a flattened bun." We looked at it for a few times and nodded seriously.
"What kind of dumplings are you eating? It's so good to eat. You have to make this thing that people don't know what it is. I'll see how many you can eat later looking at this shape. No matter, it will be cooked later.
Just eat what you make! Yours is the ugliest." Tang Linger said.
All of us burst out laughing after hearing this.
After the dumplings were made, Tang Ye and Lin Sheng came to cook. They are really good family men. We all know Lin Sheng. He has always been with my grandfather, taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
, it is necessary to know these things, but Tang Ye's cooking skills really amaze us. We can't tell at all that this guy Tang Ye actually has such skills. This man is a business tycoon.
But it doesn’t matter to us who made it. What’s important is that the food should be delicious. And what Tang Ye and Lin Sheng made are indeed delicious. The company commander’s ugly dumplings were also eaten by Tang Ye and Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng and the two of them made a fragrant feeling.
We didn't care about the shape of the dumplings. When we saw they were done, we immediately gathered around the pot and ate them. We had been busy all morning, but everyone was actually very hungry.
To be honest, even though these dumplings didn't look good, they still tasted good. Plus, everyone was very hungry and devoured them hungrily.
Hua Bubai kept saying: "Don't eat too fast, there is still something in it. If you swallow a handful of coins, you will be in trouble!"
"Ouch, my teeth!" Just as he said this, Tang Ye bit the coin and spit out a fifty-cent coin.
Then we all got coins one after another, and then we started to compete with who could get more coins, so we ate as hard as we could. By the end of the meal, we almost choked ourselves to death.
After eating, we started to sit together, play cards, and have fun.
It was past noon, and there was actually not much to do in the afternoon.
We were sitting on the carpet in the living room upstairs, playing cards, playing chess, and watching TV.
I didn't participate in anything. I sat on the balcony outside and looked at the scenery in a daze. The sound of firecrackers outside was endless. This is how it is in the countryside. It is especially lively during the Chinese New Year. In addition to the sound of firecrackers, there seemed to be a lot more
Other sounds, voices talking, shouting, laughter and laughter were particularly lively.
This year is actually good. We also have laughter and laughter here, and it is much more lively than in previous years.
The only sad thing is that I am not by my side this year, and my brother is not by my side to celebrate the New Year. It was not easy to get my brother back.
It started to snow again outside, and the black outer patches were covered with white snow. The small bamboo forest on the right was also full of snow. It looked particularly beautiful, but it was a little cold.
I sighed slightly, after all, I couldn't wait for my grandfather and the others anymore.
"It's windy outside, go inside." Lin Sheng came out at some point and brought me a coat.
Lin Sheng's thoughts are always more delicate than anyone else's, and he also takes me very seriously.
Lin Sheng pushed my car slowly into the living room inside. Everyone was having a great time. Ma Xiaolan was caught by Tang Ling'er, and the two of them were trying to figure out how to win Hua Bubai with Tang Ye.
The room was very warm. I felt a warm feeling as soon as I entered. I sniffed and watched Ma Xiaolan and the others playing cards.
I don't really like to play these things, so I'll see if I can play cards by myself, and I'm not very interested.
Shangguan Laner, who was also watching from the side, handed me a handful of melon seeds and asked me: "Can you understand it? I can't understand it..."
