The husband who crosses is so good

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the winter snow has been falling for a long time, and it seems that the end of the year is coming.

A few days ago, the workshop was finally built. When Ye Chengxiao and Lu Yu went to check and accept it, they were very satisfied. The final workshop was bigger than Lu Yu imagined, and the privacy was quite impressive. satisfied.

To express their gratitude, Ye Chengxiao and the others gave the workers a small jar of jam for them to take home and taste.

After these days, Ye Chengxiao and Chen Ziren have also become good friends. Chen Ziren is indeed a person worthy of making friends. Apart from the embarrassing and stiff expression on Lu Yu's face every time he sees him, there is nothing wrong with him. good.

One day Ye Han asked a lot of questions before he realized that Chen Ziren would stiffen and feel uncomfortable when he saw a good-looking girl and Shuang'er, which is why he hasn't married a wife yet.

Ye Chengxiao and Lu Yu, who knew the reason, felt dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Chen Ziren still had this problem, and they didn't know if it could be cured.

After Lu Yu handed over the construction of the vegetable greenhouse to Ye Han, Ye Han did have this ability. He often went to the workshop to ask Chen Ziren some professional questions, and his drawing ability became stronger and stronger.

In the end, the vegetable greenhouse was indeed well-built, with a length of about three feet, a width of more than one foot, and a height of about one foot.

Although it can't be compared with modern vegetable greenhouses at all, it really looks like that.

On the day it was built, Ye Yuan sprinkled some seeds of various fruits and vegetables, including parsley, leeks, cabbage, spinach and so on.

They all hope that fresh green vegetables will appear on the dinner table during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Yu was happy for two days looking at the vegetable greenhouse that Ye Han built, and went in every hour to have a look. Every time he came out, he was smiling, which made people happy too.

In the end, Lu Yu rewarded Ye Han with 20 taels, which scared Ye Han enough. He thought that Lu Yu gave him money to drive him out of the house, so he almost knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lu Yu.This made Lu Yu dumbfounded, but in the end Ye Han didn't take away the money Lu Yu gave him. He said he wanted Lu Yu to keep it for him, and he would ask Lu Yu for the money when he needed it.

Lu Yu agreed without even thinking about it. The money is supposed to be with him, and there will be more and more rewards in the future. If you accumulate it like this, you will probably be able to save enough money for Ye Han to marry his wife soon up.

The rest of the people also knew that Lu Yu gave Ye Han 20 taels, and they were lying if they said they didn't envy Ye Han, but they wouldn't if they were jealous. For the few people who came, Ye Jing told Lu Yu three days after the greenhouse was built that he was willing to stay in the greenhouse all day and take care of the vegetables.

Lu Yu was a little surprised in his heart, but the situation in the shed really needs to be supervised at all times, so Lu Yu agreed to Ye Jing's request after thinking for a while, and the rest had no objections.But I don't know if I have any regrets in my heart.

………………

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, also commonly known as the New Year's Eve, is a great day for offering sacrifices to stoves and eating stove candies.Lu Yu and the others started preparing for the stove early, and all the items needed for the stove were prepared as early as yesterday.

Ye Yuan made a lot of sacrificial stove candy yesterday. The sacrificial stove candy is syrup boiled with white sugar, and then a hollow space is blown out in the middle, and the sweet and delicious sesame seeds that have been roasted before are sprinkled. It makes people appetite Great increase, of course the Stove Lord would also like this kind of sweet and glutinous food.

Ye Yuan also baked some scallion pancakes, which are also used for offering sacrifices to the stove.Ye Zhi and the others also went to the town to buy some firecrackers and incense candles two days ago, which are also used for today's sacrifice.

The whole family prayed to God Stove neatly, offering incense: "It's 23 again this year, I respectfully send Lord Stove to the west."

After the Kitchen Festival on 23 is over, it is time to officially start preparing for the new year.The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is also a "sweeping dust day", that is, a year-end cleaning.After breakfast, Lu Yu and the others began to clean the house in a hurry, sweeping away the dust in various places, including the paintings in the house, they had to climb up and wipe off the dust with a damp cloth.It is also necessary to clean various utensils and remove and wash bedding curtains.After cleaning the interior, the yard should also be cleaned, not only to clean up the flowers, plants and fallen leaves in the yard, but also to dredge the open and dark ditches.

The 24th of the twelfth lunar month was also the day to write couplets, so Lu Yu handed over the heavy responsibility of writing couplets to Ye Chengxiao. He squinted his eyes, expressing that he didn't want to participate at all.

After Ye Chengxiao smiled helplessly, he began to grind and write couplets. Lu Yu said that he would not participate, but he still stayed with Ye Chengxiao to watch him write couplets. Seeing that he really couldn't think of any new auspicious sentence patterns, Just say it on the sidelines.

Husband and wife, Ye Chengxiao quickly completed all the couplets needed for the New Year. Halfway through, Lu Yu smiled and joked with Ye Chengxiao, saying that if the family is really short of money, you can Let Ye Chengxiao go out to buy couplets, so that he can probably earn a lot of money at the end of each year.

Ye Chengxiao just raised his eyebrows after hearing this, but he also felt that this was a good way. He said to Lu Yu with some regrets that it would be great if he could think of this way of making money a few years ago, so that every New Year may not have to be so difficult. Difficult.

Lu Yu hugged Ye Chengxiao tenderly, expressing that he regretted not coming to this world earlier, otherwise, Ye Chengxiao and the others would not have suffered so much before.

This year has been a happy and fulfilling year, and it will be for many years to come, so don't feel sorry for the past.

After the 24th of the twelfth lunar month passed, it came to the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, grinding and making tofu.

Ye Chengxiao's family didn't have a mill for making tofu, so Ye Su asked Ye Feng and Ye Xing to carry two baskets of soybeans, went to the house of the second uncle Ye who made tofu in the village, and exchanged some tofu with him back.The rest of the people paste the windows at home, that is, paste window grilles, paste blessing characters and hang couplets. Ye Chengxiao and Lu Yu are in charge of the main house, and Ye Zhi and the others are responsible for the rest of the work. After they finished pasting up the new house, they hung the remaining couplets in the old house.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are slaughtered to cut the meat of the new year.Today is the day for slaughtering pigs, but Ye Chengxiao's family does not raise pigs. When Ye Chengxiao went to the market a few days ago, he asked Ye Zhi to go to the town and ordered two pigs from a butcher they are familiar with today. Send it home, and kill the pig yourself today.Ye Su's family had brought Ye Jinyan, Shen Wan'er, and Shen Yun to Aunt Ye Wu's house early on. This year, Aunt Ye Wu's family has a pregnant woman, so they will not kill pigs at home, so as not to disturb the pregnant woman.

Originally, Ye Chengxiao wanted Lu Yu to go with him, but Lu Yu was very curious about killing pigs, and stared at Shen Fuquan and the others without blinking.

All the people present were amazed at Lu Yu and admired him even more.

In the end, they killed two pigs, kept one for their own food, and distributed the other. Several families with good relations with the Ye Su family received a lot of fresh pork.

That night, Ye Yuan and Lu Yu made a whole pig feast, and two tables were set up at home, and they ate a delicious whole pig feast lively.

The time has come to the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and the chicken is slaughtered to catch the big market.Lu Yu divided the family members into two groups on a voluntary basis, one group went to the town to go to the market, and the other group stayed at home to kill chickens.

It was also rare for Lu Yu to think of going to the town market today, but Ye Su had no desire to go out, so in the end it was Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao who brought Ye Jinyan, Ye Han and Ye Yuan to the town market. It wasn't the one who asked to go to the market, it was Ye Han who dragged him out of the kitchen and went to the town to play, and the rest expressed their happiness.

Lu Yu discussed with Ye Chengxiao and Ye Su last night about the new year's goods to be purchased, and asked Ye Chengxiao to write a list of new year's goods.

Today they go to town and just buy items according to this list.Ye Jinyan showed a different excitement today, because today was the first time she went out to the market with Lu Yu, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face, chatting with Lu Yu all the way.

After arriving in the town, Ye Han and Ye Yuan were in charge of buying some New Year's goods. Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao took Ye Jinyan to Fumantang to visit Shopkeeper Li first, and brought him the prepared New Year's gifts in advance. Shopkeeper Li handed over the letter from Lou Wenlun to Ye Chengxiao when Ye Chengxiao and the others were leaving, and told them that Lou Wenlun arrived in Yejia Village around the sixth or seventh day of the new year. Very happy, and speaking of them, they haven't seen each other for several months.

Afterwards, Ye Chengxiao and the others went to Yumantang, and gave the prepared New Year's ceremony to Shopkeeper Kong in advance.Lu Yu asked Ye Jinyan to choose a New Year gift in Yumantang. Ye Jinyan finally chose a white jade rabbit pendant. Shopkeeper Kong praised Ye Jinyan for her vision. They just launched this white jade rabbit pendant, and the price was higher than before is also much higher.Lu Yu smiled and helped Ye Jinyan put the pendant on in Yumantang.

Afterwards, Lu Yu took Ye Jinyan to the bookstore to buy many books suitable for Ye Jinyan, as well as essays and talks that he was interested in, and went to meet Ye Yuan and the others.Today the town was crowded with people, Ye Chengxiao let Ye Jinyan sit on his shoulders all the way, he supported Ye Jinyan with one hand, and held Lu Yu tightly with the other hand.Because there were too many people in the town, Ye Chengxiao and the others rushed home without even eating lunch in the town.

Yesterday they ate a whole pig feast, today Ye Yuan cooked them a whole chicken feast, the big guys were holding their bellies so much they couldn't walk anymore.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, hair your face.Today's main task is to make cakes and steamed buns. This is Ye Yuan's home game. Ye Yuan stays in the kitchen all day, preparing pasta from the first to fifth day of the Lunar New Year, because the custom of Chinese New Year is from the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. You can't steam the buns over a fire.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, please go to the grave and ask your ancestors to make a big offering.

"Have you prepared three meals, three teas and five wines, fruit cakes, incense sticks, paper money, ingots, firecrackers?" Ye Su looked at Ye Zhi and asked.

Ye Zhi replied calmly: "Everything is ready, we can leave after breakfast."

Ye Su nodded, took a sip of tea, and muttered to herself with a hint of melancholy between her brows, "Another year has passed."

After breakfast, Ye Chengxiao took Ye Su and the others to go up the mountain to worship Father Ye.This is the second time that Lu Yu came here to offer incense to Father Ye. The first time was a few days before he and Ye Chengxiao got married, and Ye Chengxiao brought him here.

The family was silent, and solemnly began to light candles, incense, paper, firecrackers, and kneel down.After completing this series of actions, they sat on the side and chatted with Father Ye about the past year.

After Ye Chengxiao toasted Father Ye with a glass of wine, he slowly said, "Father, we have all come to see you, everything is fine for us, and we will get better in the future. Also, Mother's health is getting better and better. , Jinyan is studying at home now, and is living happily every day."

Lu Yu said seriously: "Father, I am Xiaoyu. Now the family is just like Brother Xiao said. We are all living well. There are many more people in the family. We have built a big house and a workshop. We I also bought a lot of land, but don’t worry, our silver is getting more and more. Also, I will work harder to earn money and take good care of this family.”

Ye Jinyan didn't have a deep impression of Ye's father, and it could even be said that she no longer remembered her father's appearance, so she obediently told Ye's father what she wanted to say: "Daddy, our family has raised two There are two dogs, one is named Xiaocuti, and the other is named Little Hui. We also raised a big wolf named Little White. Both my brother and I rode on its back, and he was very kind to us. Okay. Also, my brother said that I am already very good at studying. Two days ago, my brother bought me a lot of books. I will finish reading them. I know a lot of words now, and I am sure I can understand them. Dad, Jinyan will definitely get better and better!"

After Ye Chengxiao and the others finished speaking, Ye Su asked them to go home first. It was like this every year before, Ye Su always let them go before she talked to Father Ye.

Ye Chengxiao and the others didn't say much, nodded, picked up Ye Jinyan and prepared to go home.

After walking away, Lu Yu asked, "Brother Xiao, is mother like this every year at this time?"

Ye Chengxiao nodded lightly, and said: "Today is the same day as Dad's memorial day. Mother will stay on the mountain by herself and secretly chat with Dad. She will come back at noon."

"Mother is not in a very good mood today." Lu Yu's expression was a little gloomy: "There is a touch of melancholy on her face."

"You'll be fine after today, don't worry." Ye Chengxiao hugged Ye Jinyan with one hand, and squeezed Lu Yu's little hand with the other, and said softly, "Mother just misses Dad very much."

"I know." Lu Yu raised his head, pursed his lips and smiled.

Sure enough, Ye Su returned home at noon. After returning, her mood had returned to normal, there was no worry between her brows, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was still gentle and kind.

When Lu Yu saw this, he really felt relieved. He didn't want to guess what Ye Su's chatted with Father Ye, but as long as she let go of it.

"Mother, let's eat." Lu Yu smiled and gave Ye Su a piece of soft meat.
