On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month in Xiaqiu Village, mule carts and horse-drawn carriages set off one after another. The oxen carts were not used, and the oxen ran slowly unless they ran wildly.
In addition to carrying things back to her parents’ home, the car also had fodder for the livestock.
Zhu Cheng drove a cart pulled by two mules, and the sheep were also put on the cart. They had to walk with difficulty.
Her daughter-in-law hugged her son, who was wrapped in several layers, and the little boy made a babyish sound and could say a few words.
There is a special bamboo basket next to it, which contains food for the child, plus fifteen packets of medicine and powder, which are suitable for the baby to take in different situations.
In case you catch a cold, have a bad stomach, have a convulsion in a change of environment, are frightened by something, etc.
For other possible things, follow the words written on the medicine bag. Yes, give it to the baby.
Zhu Cheng did not dare to bring medicine to his father-in-law's family because he was afraid that he would take it blindly. It was originally a minor illness, but he died after taking the medicine. Others should say that he poisoned his father-in-law's family.
The morning of the second day of the first lunar month was a bit cold, so Fang Lan adjusted his son's direction back and forth so that his back was facing the wind.
The little guy didn't cry or fuss. He blinked his eyes for a while and then closed his eyes to sleep.
It was still an hour and a half before Zhu Cheng came to Fuguang Village amid the monotonous and boring scenery around him.
Children playing in the village saw the mule cart coming and ran and jumped around it.
"It's Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan has returned to her parents' home." The children who had eaten Fang Lan's candy recognized her and shouted loudly.
The little baby was woken up, opened his eyes blankly, and pursed his lips
Fang Lan quickly untied his coat and turned his son's face to her own Hug your body tightly, this is what Hanhan taught you.
Quyu buried his face in his mother's chest when he was about to cry. After a while, he struggled to hide back, turned his head to look at others, licked his lips, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Zhu Cheng stopped the car and put on the handbrake. Yes, the village carriages have handbrakes.
In the Ming Dynasty, the brakes of the carriages required pulling on the reins. In Zhu Wentian’s time, the carriages in the 1970s and 1980s had handbrakes.
The hoop wheel is connected with an iron wire. Next to the shaft is a buckle device with a gear. When you pull it up, the teeth are straight teeth, and when you drop it, the teeth are reverse teeth, which clamps the wheel. There are several teeth, and they get tighter as they go up.
This handbrake is generally used to prevent the car from rolling away after parking. It also applies emergency braking at critical moments. Usually livestock owners are reluctant to apply emergency braking and injure their animals.
He got out of the car and took out candies and distributed them to the children. The children paid New Year greetings, knelt down and kowtowed, and received a small red envelope with two pennies in it.
The children cheered and ran to report the news, and invited their good friends to come over to pay New Year greetings, and they would get money if they could.
The carriage continued to move forward slowly, with Zhu Cheng holding it beside him. This is the rule followed by the people of Xiaqiu Village.
This can avoid hurting people. There is a stupid village guard in the village. If he doesn't know how to hide, he will be hit by a car.
The village chief who learned the news ran over and Fang Wu's family His daughter's return home is not worthy of himPassionate, it is worth marrying the daughter of Fang Wu family to Xiaqiu Village.
I can’t afford to offend if I expect Xiaqiu Village to rent large livestock for farming this year.
As for the need for the head of each village to lead the way between villages, basically no village in a county does.
If you ask for it, you are deliberately making things difficult for others. Whoever wants to go to other villages will open a special road to lead them not far away.
Those who dare to take charge of Xiaqiu Village need road diversion, let alone whether the livestock can be rented. From now on, my village will not be able to get out of the county seat, and the county officials will find some excuse not to provide road diversion. .
I heard that Xiaqiu Village has a connection with the Prince. This cannot be confirmed, but it is known that county officials always go to Xiaqiu Village.
Especially last year when officials went to each village to talk about the prevention and treatment of livestock diseases, when officials got sick, they went directly to Xiaqiu Village for treatment, and everyone knew about it.
Fang Wu’s family of four also came over, and the children ran over to shout that your uncle and daughter were back
The four of them were all wearing new clothes. Last year, their in-laws gave them a lot Things, life has been better.
"Sister, brother-in-law, have a great New Year!" the two children shouted happily.
Zhu Cheng and his wife kowtowed to pay New Year greetings to his parents and father-in-law. Zhu Cheng then took out red envelopes and gave them to his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
He can even speak every sentence, and he always gets lucky money and delicious food in the village.
Zhu Cheng’s mother-in-law smiled like a flower and picked up her grandson, “Go home quickly, what are you kowtowing for?”
“Yes, yes, go back to Lao Wu’s house. It's cold outside. Let's talk about anything at home."
The head of the house echoed, remembering that the fifth son-in-law respected his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I will have to take extra care in the future, seeing as how this girl is getting married, ugh
Zhu Chengwai took out a gift and gave it to the head of the village, and everyone was happy for a while.
When we arrived at Fang Wu’s house, we started to move large and small things into the house again. The sheep had come down before and was unwilling to lie down in the car.
Fang Lan went to get the utensils to milk the sheep first. She milked the sheep once in the morning, but not too much. The sheep was suffering.
The milk was immediately heated and given to the three children.
"Why did Lan bring a sheep here?" Fang Wu wondered as he watched his daughter tie the sheep after milking.
"My mother-in-law said I would give it to my in-laws and milk them once in the morning and evening. With enough fodder, I can also help carry some light things on weekdays."
Fang Lanxi I washed my hands and packed the package as I talked. There were more things delivered than last time.
I put a silver bracelet on my sister. The glass bracelet was left there without being worn.
Fang Lan knows how glass is made. Although it is expensive outside, it is worthless in the village.
"Sister, this is jade." The younger brother carefully took a glass bracelet, afraid of breaking it.
"Liu Li, wear it for fun when you get married"
Fang Lan originally wanted to give it as a bride price, but felt that it was like scolding the woman, even though the glass was on for a long time. Time will be very expensive.
When my brother gets married, the bride price should include gold and silver jewelry, as my mother-in-law wishes.
Otherwise, how could I easily give the things at home to my younger brothers and sisters? After all, they are married people.
"You have to honor your father-in-law and mother-in-law. This is the blessing you saved in your previous life." The mother warned her daughter.
"It is my blessing to marry Lan'er. I have been cultivated for ten generations." Zhu Cheng immediately followed.
My father-in-law was very satisfied, "My uncle, you didn't bring anything to eat?"
Zhu Cheng looked up at his father-in-law, wondering, do you want me to bring it, or do you want me to bring it? Don’t want me to take it?
“No,” he answered uncertainly.
"It's okay if you didn't bring it, mother-in-law, hurry up and cook, my uncle and I will have a few cups."
My father-in-law was very happy. He brought rice last time, it seemed It’s like he doesn’t give him food when he comes to his own home.
"Come on, Lan Ah Chu Wen peed again." Zhu Cheng's mother-in-law agreed and gave the baby to her daughter.
Like Zhu Cheng, everyone who returns to their parents' home in Xiaqiu Village is treated this way.
It’s not that the village provides many things, but that the village is very selective when it comes to marrying a wife, and it knows the situation of the other party’s family clearly.
If the other party has a son and wants to marry a daughter-in-law first, it depends on the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; if the other party does not have a son to marry a daughter-in-law, ask about the relationship between neighbors.
This is especially true for marrying a daughter out. Unless a good family will definitely not agree, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the future
Then on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the people who built the house came The village began to continue the previous work.
They are all living well this year. Xiaqiu Village is willing to give things to reassure each other, work hard, and have no worries at home.
