Nowadays, life at home is getting better, so we have become more particular about it, and celebrate all festivals in a serious way.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Zhengyang Festival, has been one of the four most important traditional festivals since ancient times, along with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. Customs vary from place to place, and the way of celebration is also different.
Pingning Town is located in the north, neither near a river nor the sea, and there are no large lakes, so there has never been any talk of dragon boat racing.
Rural people don't have much money, so most of them don't have any special celebrations, but things like hanging mugwort, wearing purses, dotting cinnabar, and colorful silk threads, which are meant to ward off evil and ensure peace, are still well preserved.
But I don’t pay much attention to drinking realgar wine.
This is a popular custom in the Yangtze River Basin. It is believed that realgar can restrain snakes, scorpions and other insects. It is said that "goodness can kill hundreds of insects, ward off all evils, and control poisons. People wear it. When they enter the mountains and forests, tigers and wolves will lurk at them, and when they enter the rivers of Sichuan, they will be killed." "Avoid all poisons", drink realgar wine to pray to avoid evil and keep you safe.
Lao Ye's family has celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival for so many years, and has never been able to seriously cook two dishes and have a drink, let alone realgar wine.
Originally, Ye Laiyin had never thought of buying this Laoshizi. He was not that particular, but the waiter in the shop strongly recommended it to him.
The waiter in the shop was eloquent and spoke vividly. Ye Laiyin only listened to what he said about how to ward off evil spirits, so he took out the money without saying a word.
So, Ye Laiyin learned how to sell now, and learned the words of the waiter in the shop from Ye Tou and Ye Lai Jin. The old Ye Tou was very excited and said with a smile, "I will have a good drink today."
"Grandpa, dinner is ready."
While the gentlemen were talking, Wang Jinling stuck out her little head from the side of the partition and called someone with a smile.
"Okay, eat, eat."
The three of them went outside to wash their hands, then entered the dining room laughing and chatting, and glanced at the dining table. Wow, the dishes are not suitable for both young and old.
"Haha, with good food and good wine, you need to drink a few more glasses."
"Everything is fine, and I'm not afraid even if I'm drunk."
Old Yetou was in high spirits and glanced at Mr. Wang appreciatively. Then he realized that one person was missing, "Hey, hasn't Sheng'er come back yet?"
"Master, I'm back."
Along with his clear voice, Ye Xusheng's thin figure also appeared in everyone's sight.
"Cousin, won't the school have a holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
When she didn't see her cousin during dinner early in the morning, He Xiner was a little puzzled. She had been holding back questions for most of the afternoon and finally saw someone. How could she hold it back?
"Today is a day off."
"oh."
Since you don't go to school, why don't you see anyone so early in the morning?
He Xiner's mind was filled with questions.
"Haha, it's a good holiday. I just have a few drinks with you."
"I have to study in the afternoon and don't dare to drink."
"Well, reading is important, it's okay if you don't drink."
As a result, the whole family was eagerly waiting for Old Ye to pick up the chopsticks and Xiao Qian was staring at the oily braised pork and swallowing secretly.
The three old men, Mr. Ye Tou, were only focused on studying realgar wine and had not started yet. Xiao Qian was so anxious that she was burning with anxiety. After eating the braised pork at the flowing table, she could not forget the taste. Now the fragrant braised pork was placed in front of her. Can she not be anxious?
The little son was lying in the cradle and humming, but she didn't care and ordered Ye Feifeng to step on the cradle constantly.
The little cousin has always been very well-behaved and has almost never been heard to cry. Now he keeps moaning. He Xiner suspects that he has poop. The smelly smell sticks to his little butt and makes him feel uncomfortable.
"My little cousin seems unhappy~"
Although she was suspicious, He Xiner was a little speechless in front of the whole family and with the table full of food. She was about to get up and see her little cousin when her little cousin's crunchy voice rang out.
"What do you, a kid, know? It's just playing with itself."
Xiao Qian gave Wang Jinling a hard look and blamed her for being nosy. This chapter has been completed!
