Chapter 12

January 26, new year's Eve.

It was still dark outside, and Li Wei was called out by Liu Chunzhi. He didn't need to prepare pig hogs for selling pigs. But today's Spring Festival is also a lot of work.

Li Wei helped cook the fire, and Liu Chunzhi cleaned the inside and outside of the house again.

The men in the family all got up one after another, washed their faces and gargled their mouths. After cooking, I sat around a table and had breakfast.

Li Minghua said that he would go to the grave and prepare the new year's dinner when he came back.

Liu Chunzhi said: "last year was the sacrifice we prepared. This year it's the boss's turn."

"My sister-in-law is ready," Li said. It's enough for us to go over with incense sticks and paper money. "

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two rooms of the Li family went out and prepared to go up the mountain to worship their ancestors.

Li Wei followed everyone to the mountain, and her cousin Li Xia walked behind him. Li Xia quietly asked Li Wei, "do you want to go to the county on the fifth day of the first day?"

"To the county?" Li Wei has no idea of the county in this era, but she knows that Li Jianbo is studying in the county, but she has never been there. If she wants to go, she wants to go. However, Liu Chunzhi agreed with them two days ago that she would go to relatives and aunt's house on the fifth day of junior high school, so she had to refuse: "I'm afraid it won't work. I'll go to relatives."

"Oh, well." Li Xia was disappointed when she could not meet someone.

"Is the county town fun?" Li Wei asked naively.

Li Xia seemed to have something on her mind and said, "it's fun. Do you want to go with me?"

Before Li Wei had promised Liu Chunzhi to go to relatives. If she followed Li Xia to the county, she would certainly have to scold her. She still knew which was more important. She hesitated and said, "No

After a while, Li Xia quietly asked Li Wei, "do you have money? Can you lend me a little, not much, five yuan is enough. "

"Five dollars?" Li Wei's eyes widened. In fact, she had more than ten yuan in her hand, which could be borrowed completely. But at the moment, she left an extra thought and shook her head and said, "I don't have so much money."

"It's impossible that you didn't sell Spring Festival couplets before. You should have sold a lot of them."

Sure enough, Li Wei said, "all the money has been given to my mother."

Li Xia heard that she had to give up. The two sisters did not talk much on the way.

Li Xia is 16 this year. After finishing primary school, she didn't go to school. She studied sewing for a period of time in the city. She heard that she would go to work in a clothing factory. Before Li Xia was still at home, the two sisters often stayed together. When Li Xia went to the county, they seldom came back and forth.

Before long, they arrived at the cemetery, where Li Mingguo and Li Minghua were busy putting out their offerings. Li Wei stares at the tombstone, which is engraved with "the tomb of Li Gong Shaoqian". Then he finds the names of Li Mingguo and Li Minghua in a row of small characters nearby. The only two names of Jian Zhang and Li Jianping are Jian Zhang and Li Jianping. No sword wave, no Li Wei and Li Xia.

The owner of the tomb is Li Wei's great grandfather, and he has set up a sacrifice. As the eldest grandson, Li Mingguo first put on the candle and then kneaded with incense. The younger generation helped burn paper money.

Curling up the smoke, this moment let Li Wei suddenly remember when he was still in shangshufu, every new year's home is also to worship ancestors. The ancestral hall was opened, the portraits of the ancestors were hung, and the red felt was spread. In the early years, it was Aung who presided over the central feeding. The utensil used to hold the sacrifice was a set of silver wares handed down by the ancestors. It's carved and inlaid. When the Chinese New Year is coming, Auntie will open a warehouse to take out these utensils and wipe them clean. The silver is shining and very beautiful.

If you look at the offerings in front of the tomb, there are also some porcelain plates. There are cooked whole chicken, cooked Fangzheng streaky pork, vegetarian snacks, square and square dried tofu, and a plate of apples. I can't help but sigh that this day is going back and forth.

After sacrificing the ancestors, they went home and had a simple lunch, and then they had to prepare the new year's Eve dinner.

Liu Chunzhi and Li Wei do all the work in the kitchen. Li's men seldom go to the kitchen. However, Jianbo is still diligent and can help choose vegetables.

Busy until nearly six o'clock, the sky is getting dark, the new year's Eve dinner is on the table.

As a rule, we first provided food for our ancestors, and then we all sat around the eight immortals table and began to eat and drink.

Li Minghua took the bottle and wanted to pour wine into the glass in front of Li Jianbo. Liu Chunzhi squinted before pouring: "he is still a child to drink any wine."

"What child, he should be sixteen after today. What's wrong with a man drinking. Today's new year's day, everyone is happy to drink some. "

Li Jianbo didn't give in. In addition to Li Jianbo, Li Minghua didn't even let go of his daughter. He poured a small half cup to Li Wei.

Li's cup of congratulation has been made a year ago. A month ago, she was still the Empress Dowager in Chongqing palace. Unexpectedly, she came here suddenly. She had a new identity and a new family. Although she did not adapt to this era, she had decided to abandon the past and strive to live in this era and live better.

Li Wei raised his neck, and the wine in the cup went down.

But the taste of this wine is not the same as that I've drunk before. It's spicy. She was flushed and coughing. Other people on the table looked at her one after another. When did Li's daughter drink so much?Li Minghua said with a smile: "you are still young. Why do you want to drink so urgently? This wine needs a small sip."

Li Minghua is a drunkard who drinks a few drinks every day.

Li Jianbo quickly added soup to the bowl in front of Li Wei and said, "you can have some soup."

As if to make a fool of himself, Li Wei picked up the bowl and drank the soup in a big gulp to cover up the embarrassment in his heart.

Everyone ate their favorite dishes at will, and firecrackers roared outside. Liu Chunzhi's cooking is good and everyone is happy to eat.

After dinner, Li Minghua and his wife scattered lucky money for the children. Li Wei, like her second brother, got two yuan. She is not enough, full of joy to take over.

Before going to bed, Li Wei cleaned up the money again, and it will be 20 yuan soon. What can we do with this money? It must be spent on the edge.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside. This is Jiaozi time. This moment is a new year.

Li Wei heart way, hope the next year good luck. At this moment, she has put down all of Daqi's grudges.

Li Wei got up early in the morning on the first day of the first day of the lunar new year. The family ate dumplings and said they would go to the temple fair.

Seeing that her daughter was still wearing her usual clothes, Liu Chunzhi frowned and said, "why don't you wear that red coat I bought you?"

Li Wei had no choice but to change his clothes. Just as he was about to go out, Li Jianbo suddenly took Li Wei and said in a low voice: "let's go to the city together on the seventh day of junior high school."

The seventh day seems to have no arrangement, she asked: "will mom agree?"

"I already told her, and she agreed."
