This year's time is particularly tight, and it is not until the last few days that the family goes out to buy new year's goods. After working overtime continuously to make sweets, the men, women, and children in the family are now on the verge of overdraft. On the 29th, the small year, no matter how big the business is, they have stopped to prepare for the New Year. It's a bit unreasonable to have to work at home today, so Liang Chuan took everyone to the streets to have fun.
After everyone washed up and worked day and night, today we were finally able to dress up nicely and go out for some fresh air.
Liang Chuan took so many women to the streets and immediately attracted the attention of many people. Especially Shen Yuzhen, who was originally a stunningly beautiful girl, but now she is dressed in plain makeup and dressed like a farm girl, which makes people look at her with even more charm.
Many people in Fengshan now recognize Liang Chuan. The name of the tiger-fighting hero has long been spread throughout the countryside, especially the three villages on the other side of the Nanxi River. Now whoever dares to say something bad about Sanlang at the entrance of the village will be punished by the whole village. People beat them with sticks from the entrance to the end of the village.
It is said that Sanlang and the people from three villages are now doing a lot of business, and life is getting better and better. If anyone is in trouble, Liang Chuanlang will help him out of his fellow villagers' feelings, both in emergency and in poverty.
People not only admired this hero, but also praised his benevolence and righteousness. Who dared to take advantage of his woman, no matter how beautiful, talented and capable she was, she would not be able to seduce others.
This year, Fengshan is much colder than in previous years. Today, disasters are coming one after another. The life of the villagers was not easy to begin with, but then they encountered a once-in-a-millennium riot among the mountain people. Many people rushed to other places with their families and their families. Seeking relatives.
Now Xinghua has established an army, but many people who don't know the situation in their hometown are still hiding outside and watching. A good street has become quite depressed.
The Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers required for the New Year are all available on the street. Red paper incense candles, various snacks and candies, and stove stickers are also available everywhere. These are essential items for every household. Now you can still see many beautiful door god New Year pictures. Yi Niang also bought some and posted them at home.
A few women went out to play and met to buy new clothes, while Liang Chuan walked alone on the street.
I also met an old acquaintance - Jiang Baili and Jiang Lizheng.
Yang Zhongshan, a loser, was riding for Jiang Baili, carrying various New Year's goods in his hands. The two of them also saw Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan wanted to pretend not to see it, but he didn't expect that Jiang Lizheng took the initiative to come forward and say hello.
Damn this old guy, as a villager, he didn't know which bastard cave he retreated to when the mountain people rebelled. The four villages on the north bank didn't even ask, and they didn't care about the life and death of the villagers. This is the kind of person you are talking about if you don’t shit in a latrine. This man was very sophisticated and thoughtful. Liang Chuan didn't like this kind of person, so he didn't even bother to say hello to him.
When Yang Zhongshan saw Liang Chuan, he didn't dare to look directly at him. Standing quietly behind Jiang Baili, he didn't dare to let out a fart.
Jiang Lizheng was thinking exactly the opposite of Liang Chuan. He knew the strength of Chihe Village. Those people were united together and it was not something that ordinary people could move. As a result, Chihe was gone, but their three poor and weak small villages survived. . There was either an external force that he didn't know about, or some of them were stronger than what he saw, otherwise it was absolutely impossible.
Although he knew from the beginning that Liang Chuan was quite capable and had connections in the yamen, he didn't expect that he could survive this catastrophe safely. This was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. So now Liang Chuan is the most important person in his mind and cannot be offended.
"Sanlang is also here to buy new year's goods?"
"Hey, Jiang Lizheng, you always go to the streets to buy new year's goods."
"Yeah, then you're busy, I'll go around by myself."
"Don't worry, Sanlang. I have a new batch of Jiangyang wine in my store. They are all good wines shipped from Jiangyang, Luzhou. I will have them delivered to your home later. You need to buy some wine for the Chinese New Year."
Liang Chuan was very surprised. Why did this old guy suddenly show his kindness? Was he trying to trick someone again? But there is no reason for him not to accept the wine delivered to his door. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Then I'm sorry, I'll pay you how much later."
Jiang Baili deliberately wanted to win over Liang Chuan, and Liang Chuan was now willing to accept his favor. After all, he was leaving, and the home front had to be stable. It was better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
If Jiang Baili were ten years younger, he would still have the ambition to compete with Liang Chuan. Who can't accept old age? There are talented people in Fengshan. This year's young man is so powerful that no one around him can be his opponent.
Two people who were strangers to each other were pretending to be acquaintances for many years in the crowded street. People passing by could not help but stop to say hello to these two important people in Fengshan.
After a long time, the voices of several women came from a distance. Each of them bought a new piece of clothing and held a lot of female jewelry in their hands. A few of them bought chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs and other large meats, and Yi Niang also bought a lot of children's toys.
"Yi Niang, these are..."
Liang Chuan took the toys from Yi Niang's hands and looked at them carefully. These were just small toys such as windmills and bamboo dragonflies. Do they still want to play with these?
"I prepared it for the children in Chihe. I also bought some meat and vegetables. I will add some vegetables for them during the Chinese New Year."
Liang Chuan slapped his head and almost forgot about these children, patronizing him.
"Yes, Yi Niang is still very careful in her work. See how sloppy I am. Yi Niang, you take the children to Fengshan again in the afternoon and make new clothes for everyone. They are in the most pain this year. I hope we can give them Bring a little joy, and one more happy memory will make you forget those unhappy things.”
Several other women felt warm in their hearts when they saw Liang Chuan like this. These children had nothing to do with him, but Liang Chuan treated them like his own relatives. Such a man could not be found even if he held a lantern now.
In the twelfth month, all families, big or small, should sweep their doors and courtyards to remove dust and filth, and clean their courtyards to pray for peace in the new year.
After buying New Year's goods, you will have to clean up the inside and outside of the house when you get home. Although the house is newly built, all kinds of bugs are easy to attract in the farmyard. Cleaning it will remove the old and welcome the new, and secondly, it can remove the odor in the home. This will help improve your home's fortune in the coming year. As the saying goes, "money should not be gathered in cluttered places", a tidy home will help you gather wealth, but a messy home will make it difficult to gather wealth.
Only by preparing all these things can you have a clean and comfortable New Year.
Liang Chuan sat at home, making a pot of tea by himself, watching everyone busy, feeling warm in a new home.
Brother Zhao saw Liang Chuan sitting at home and walked over shyly.
Liang Chuan glanced at him sideways, blew into the hot tea, and said, "If you fart, hurry up."
Zhaodi's face turned even redder, as if Liang Chuan had read his thoughts: "Third brother, I want to go to Fengshan Wanda Store to accompany my dad tomorrow. I won't be here for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Liang Chuan sighed, looked straight at Zhaodi and said, "Isn't your father going home tomorrow and celebrating the New Year alone in the store? Why don't you pick him up and let's have some fun together?"
Zhaodi hesitated to speak, and finally said: "My father is not used to there being so many of us. He might be happier if we are just the two of us. I have bought all the wine and meat, and prepared the firecrackers and Spring Festival couplets. I want to go back to accompany you later." Stay with my dad."
It's not that Father Zheng doesn't like the excitement, but the fat woman who recruits her younger brother, the tigress, is nesting in the house all day long, and a good Spring Festival can change her mood, and she won't fight many times at home. There is no way this battle can survive this season.
Liang Chuan knew how hard his family was, so naturally he wouldn't force it.
"Go... This is what a son should do. Your father will be very happy to have you with him during the Spring Festival."
"Third brother, you won't blame me."
Liang Chuan walked up to Zhaodi, put his arms around his shoulders, and his eyes were filled with admiration: "If you stay with me all year round and don't go home to see me, I will be unhappy. You are my father's son first. Then there is my little brother, you follow me around the world, as the saying goes, my parents are not traveling far away, we are traveling for our family, so of course we have to accompany them when we come back!"
"Third brother, I'm leaving then."
Liang Chuan smiled and waved his hand.
Not long after, several people from the yard came in. Between the two porters, they were carrying a large pottery wine jar with a square piece of red paper stuck on it, with the word "Jiang Yang" written on it.
This Jiangyang wine is the Luzhou Old Kiln of later generations. It is said that winemaking began during the Qin and Han Dynasties. It has been passed down for thousands of years. The aroma of this wine will make people salivate. When Liang Chuan saw the wine, he swallowed unconsciously. This was all real good wine, nothing fake.
"How much do these drinks cost?" Liang Chuan asked the porter.
"If I go back to the officials, Master Jiang has told me that I can't accept money from officials in Liangchuan."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After the wine was brought to the kitchen, Liang Chuan rewarded each of them with a little copper coin, and they happily returned to their lives.
Liang Chuan went around He Baozheng's house. Their house had already been cleaned. His daughter returned to her husband's house. Although it was lively, Liang Chuan could see that there was a sense of desolation in He Baozheng's house.
After all, there aren’t many people there.
"Is your son back?"
This sentence stabbed He Baozheng in the heart with a sharp knife. He was another year older, and the child still hadn't come back.
He Baozheng sighed and just shook his head.
He Baozheng's son Chunsheng has been away from home for several years, and his life and death are unknown. During the holidays, the couple always secretly wipes away tears for fear of hearing some bad news.
"Don't be sad, Lao He. Come to my place tomorrow. You two are sad alone. I don't have many people here. You don't have a son and I don't have a son. Let's make a tie. Let's get together. How about being happy yourself?"
He Baozheng rolled his eyes at him, "What do you mean you don't have a son and I don't have a son? You haven't given birth yet. My unfilial son is disobedient. How can this damn thing be the same?" My daughter and granddaughter are not here either. Forget it, just go to their house tomorrow. Nothing else. There must be good wine. Let’s go and have a good time.
"Okay! I'll take my wife to your place tomorrow."
