Chapter 10231 Going up the mountain to worship
This year, instead of celebrating the New Year on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, we celebrate the New Year on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
So, the day after Zuo Jingling left, it was New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve this year, there was neither the warm sunshine of winter nor the gloomy drizzle. The north wind began to blow from overnight, and after dawn in the morning, light snow started to fall.
When the light snow falls on the ground and melts, it does not form a climate at all.
So when he got up early, Luo Fengtang took a look at the sky outside and discussed with Yang Ruoqing, "After breakfast later, we'll see how the snow falls. If it's still snowing, I'll take the two little ones with me."
"If the snow falls heavily, I won't bring it with me."
As for going to the mountain to worship ancestors and burn incense, Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan have been looking forward to it for a long time.
During the Chinese New Year last year, they were too young, only a few months old.
This year, I am more than one year old...
Although they are still too small in the eyes of their family, the two little guys feel that they have grown up enough, especially because they are twins. You look at each other and I look at you to prove each other.
All prove that the other party is very big, a big child...
So for this year's tomb sweeping, the two boys had been pestering the adults at home for several days, wanting to go to the mountains with them to see more.
Wang Cuilian made up her mind not to let them go. The reason was very simple. It was best not to go to those places before she was five years old. After all, children have weak tempers, and those places in the mountains are no better than those in the villages. Who knows what mysterious things there might be? Or
It is better to maintain awe of the gods of mountains and rivers as much as possible.
Yang Ruoqing also didn't agree with the two little guys going.
Yang Ruoqing's reason is also very simple.
The mountains have deep and tangled vegetation, all kinds of thorns, and flying ants and poisonous insects that are hard to spot.
Children's skin is delicate and their body's defenses are weak. When they come back from a walk, they will see red spots on their bodies and swelling, which is quite frustrating.
So the two little guys ran to quarrel with Blacksmith Luo and Luo Fengtang.
Blacksmith Luo is a rough old man who has made a living by blacksmithing all his life. He raised Luo Fengtang by himself and basically had no taboos.
Therefore, Blacksmith Luo felt that as long as the children liked it, he could bring it with him. The key was to please the children.
As for Luo Fengtang, he didn't want to reject the two children's requests too much, and he didn't want to disappoint the children in what they wanted most.
As for those mountain spirits, poisonous insects, etc., in Luo Fengtang's opinion, these are all surmountable problems.
Therefore, for the sake of his two children, this loving father had a nice discussion and fight with his mother last night while the two children were asleep.
This made the child's mother relent and agreed to check the weather today.
That's why Luo Fengtang turned around and said to Yang Ruoqing after seeing Xiaoxue outside.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaoxue outside the window and said, "Just watch, because you relented yesterday, so even if there is a knife from the sky today, these two little guys will pester you to go to the mountains to burn incense and worship their ancestors."
Therefore, in order not to disappoint the children and spend this New Year happily, Yang Ruoqing is already looking for small cloaks for the two of them.
"Found it!" Yang Ruoqing said suddenly.
I saw her taking out two small cyan cloaks from the bottom drawer of the wardrobe.
The reason why it is cyan is because the materials used to make these two small cloaks are very special.
There is a layer of warm leather inside. The leather must be pure natural fox skin. The fox skin is also inlaid with plush cotton, which makes it very comfortable and warm to wear.
On the outermost side, the cyan things are made of material similar to bird feathers.
It is very smooth and greasy, and when you touch it with your palm, it feels like touching the feathers of a bird.
If snowflakes or rain fall on it, it will slide off and the clothes inside will not get damp at all.
"You see, with these two little cloaks, you won't be afraid even if the wind and snow get stronger."
Yang Ruoqing shook off her cloak and looked at Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang touched it again and again, but also nodded repeatedly.
"These two cloaks are great, Qing'er, where did you get them?"
"You are stupid, don't these two cloaks look familiar to you?"
Luo Fengtang racked his brains and thought for a while. Suddenly, he came to his senses.
"Could it be from the batch of trophies I brought back during the Chinese New Year?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled, "This is something I have remembered, isn't it?"
After driving for the Chinese New Year, Luo Fengtang brought back a truckload of loot and asked Yang Ruoqing to manage it.
Yang Ruoqing dug a basement deep in the mountains specifically to store these gold and silver jewelry.
To be honest, Yang Ruoqing couldn't remember exactly how much the Luo family's property was.
It is not an exaggeration to describe a country as rich as a country.
These two small cloaks were also inside, so when Yang Ruoqing was sorting out her belongings, she took them off casually, thinking that they could be used as raincoats for the two little ones, which would last until they were four or five years old.
Now it is worn from head to toe, but when you are four or five years old, it will be a half-length raincoat, which can last for five or six years!
Wait until five or six years later, then leave it to other new children in the family!
Anyway, the materials used in these two small cloaks are so exquisite that they will not break down even if they are worn for ten or eight years.
Today's breakfast was particularly rich.
The reason is very simple, because today is the Chinese New Year, so the noon lunch is cancelled. Everyone starts to get busy after breakfast, and then the next meal will have to wait until dark for the New Year's Eve dinner.
The New Year's Eve dinner must be a big meal, so if you eat lunch at noon, you will not have the appetite and stomach to accommodate the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
As a result, lunch was canceled at noon, and the portion and variety of breakfast were increased.
This morning, Wang Cuilian made the Luo family's breakfast look like a buffet in a hotel.
Egg fried rice, egg and vegetable noodles, red dates and corn porridge, white tofu curd.
Sugar, sesame oil, salt, and coriander foam are prepared next to the tofu noodles, so that the family can freely switch between sweet tofu noodles and salty tofu noodles.
In addition, we have boiled eggs, poached eggs, egg and scallion pancakes, egg and radish and spinach pancakes, white flour steamed buns, corn steamed buns, fermented millet steamed cakes, and steamed dumplings in both meat and vegetable flavors!
Of course, in addition to these, Yang Ruoqing's favorite spicy and sour cucumber strips and pickled beans are definitely indispensable.
The spicy fermented bean curd that Blacksmith Luo loves is also a must-have.
Luo Fengtang is not picky about food and can eat anything.
So when the family walked into the dining hall and saw the dazzling array of food on the Eight Immortals table, they were all shocked.
Blacksmith Luo joked directly: "Old lady, you moved the backyard kitchen of Tianxiang House to our dining hall!"
Luo Fengtang said: "It's really hard for aunt to prepare so many sumptuous meals!"
