Assassin Farmer

Chapter 67: New Year's Eve Busy

The delightful warm sun ushered in the first day of the eleventh anniversary of Dahui Guofeng celebration - the first of the first month of the month.

After Lin Shiyao cooked a pot of tri-colored mixed broth made of sesame seeds, bean sand and date mud filling in the kitchen, he got up early to the south courtyard to pick all the mature vegetables from the garden.

After three good days, the snow accumulation in the south courtyard sun has completely ablated, except for a few occasional shady and wet corners, where thin ice has not yet completely dissolved. But it will not prevent him from doing his next job.

Put the felt cloth away and stack it in the corner of Xiaoxi. Of course, the wooden shelves are still in place, maybe there will be another spring snow raging on this full yard of vegetables.

The long mature cabbage, small green vegetables, potatoes, radishes, etc. are all picked and dug up in a large bamboo basket. As for the rotten leaves, they were left in the earth as natural fertilizer, and the torn yellow leaves were thrown into the fence of the chicken coop and sheep ring by his hand.

Set aside more than a dozen relatively tender cabbages, stacked in the corner of the kitchen with a small number of vegetables that are no longer large enough, these are meant to be eaten fresh. The other cabbage, he spreads it on the sun, lays it on the banks of the river and prepares it for pickling.

As for radishes and potatoes, a few things were left for immediate consumption in the kitchen, and the rest were stored in a newly constructed storage room next to the chicken coop. The small room was made of stone, the doors and the top were nailed by wooden boards, covered with crushed bricks and a layer of felt cloth that could not be washed inside even if it rained. As a result, some of the food that can be stored for a long time and won't break is stored here.

After all this work, look at the time it is not too early. Lin Shizhou went back to the kitchen to wash his hands and prepare to milk the sheep. As for most of the gardens that are empty, let's wait and see. Now that spring is soon upon us, the two acres of good land outside the house should also be activated. Though an acre of winter wheat was planted a year ago, there is still an acre of land just sporadically sprinkled with some seeds, basically idle.

Lin Shiyao thought about it and kept busy with his livelihood. Thought he was a killer, but now he's worried about what he sees, what he collects, what he eats all day. At first, it really made him a little uncomfortable. However, as the day moves forward, watching the house perfect day by day, such anguish is synonymous with sweetness and contentment for him. Sometimes he even wants to thank the wind cliffs that have been hunting him for thousands of miles.

“The village chief's house, Aunt Lao's house, Aunt Tian's house...” Su Shuiju counted the pieces already packed on the dinner table to go to New Year's Eve to conveniently carry the accompaniment gift.

There is a big custom in Flower Town, that is, families with elders do not go out at the beginning of the new month.

Therefore, like Su Shuiju and Lin Shiyao, there are no elders beside them, so they can go out to worship early years at will.

Today, they intend to walk around the flower towns to the villagers who have helped themselves, but all who are small and small want to come to visit and congratulate them.

As for the courtesy, look, Lin Shiyao has two large fruit baskets in his hand, it doesn't contain exactly what it is!

A cloth cartridge made of a large red cotton cloth that crosses the edge of the cotton cloth cartridge with a fine black linen rope and smokes gently at will, the cotton cloth cartridge is bound to the mouth. As for what's in each cylinder, it's mostly home surplus food, like wild eggs, salted fish dried, fruit flavoured flower cakes, souffle cakes… and a string of dozens of new clusters of copper dressed in cute shapes with sesame rope.

Of course, the value of each accompanying gift is almost equal. At this point, Su Shuiju is still quite thoughtful. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding if people chatted and learned that they were sending gifts to worship companions and that there was a difference in value? I think I have a biased mind.

But then again, since they moved to the flower town to settle down, the small half a year down, the village also has individual countless farmers, can not see her family well. For example, those who saw Lin Shiyao bring the wild animals home and dare not go into the mountain, went to the village chief to say three words and four, meaning that the wild animals in the Great Chamber Mountain will be beaten by him? There are also individual women. After learning that Su Shuijuan's embroidery activities overtook He's wife Lin's, she jumped to become the most powerful embroidery in Flower Town, and even became the chief embroidery of "Yue Yun Embroidery Tower", then from time to time, which mother-in-law said a few words to the front. If she wanted to separate her relationship with Su Shuijuan, she would not know. Fortunately, He's still more or less aware of her, and she's still humbled with a smile. There is no real alienation from Su Shuiju. After all, Su Shuiju won too much in embroidery, which she had to admit.

So, sifting out a few farmers who were too tight, Su Shuiju and Lin Shiyao went out to worship with two big baskets full of companions. You're pretty smart yourself, aren't you? It would be nice to save a few hands-on presents. Oh... Su Shuihui thought with a laugh. But this is the real life in a floral town. You salute me, I'll give you back. If you deceive me, I will not heed you, even if I do not deceive you. Otherwise, don't you think you're a bully?

…………

It was not until the end of time that they returned home with two large fruit baskets that were still full.

Twenty-five accompanying prayers were delivered in full, and other residents' hard fortresses were helplessly taken into the fruit basket. There are also home grown chicken duck eggs, homemade baking knives, pickled pickles, green bean rice cakes… and even a few red plums to be released.

Su Shuihui joyfully inserted the red plum branches into a wide mouthed round belly bottle on the upper frame of the bedroom flower rack. Adds a touch of spring to the interior.

After clapping his hands, he came to the kitchen with a smile, and together with Lin Shiyao, he picked up the dry food sent by the villagers.

“Master ~ Master ~ Sister ~" Far away, I heard Tian Dabao's voice. Obviously people are not on first come first served.

“Master, Madam, we're here for New Year's Eve.” Tian Dabao slipped into the kitchen with a smile, followed by a string of tails, about six or seven children under the age of 10. Su Shuiju only recognized three of them. One was Fang Xiaohua, only six years old, and one was Sun Arimao's nine-year-old Sun Qihe, and the youngest son of the Shugan family, Shuifu, nine years old. Su Shuijuan remembered because he had followed their mother to his home.

“Master Lam, Master Lam New Year!” The six children brushed their backs and bowed to Shiyao Lin and Su Shui. They said that Dabao had taught them to say goodbye beforehand.

In fact, they were trying to summon Sister Su Shuijuan. How can there be such a beautiful young master? But Tian Dabao won't do it. In that way, I became the smallest. Therefore, persevere in their call, or they will not be followed. Of course, they were instructed to add a surname to the front so that people would know the difference from themselves as soon as they heard. I have to say, Tian Dabao, the bruises on the back of the child's head really dissipated.

“Sister, they have to come with me to worship the year, and I can't help it.” Tian Dabao saw Su Shuijuan's strange expression, his shoulders shrugged, his hands stalled, as if he was also helpless to explain.

In the end, Lin Shiyao immediately awarded a big chestnut. Immediately mount the good boy in jeopardy.

“Happy New Year! Come on, let's go to the house.” Su Shuihui smiled back and waved to several children, indicating that they would go to the house.

“Am I lying to you? The sister-in-law's mouth is full.” Tian Dabao deliberately pressed his voice to speak to several other children. The other children nodded with envy. The eyeballs slipped toward the filled cases. There are seven or eight plates of dried fruit dessert, and there are many malt sugar and ice candy gourd skewers that the family won't buy for them.

During the New Year's Eve, households are said to open the doors of the courtyard so that they can snap at each other. Whether or not the neighbors came to their doors, Su Shuiju still allowed Lin Shiyao to buy these popular snacks at the last rush of the year in case there was a chance that the sister-in-law and sister-in-law with the children would come home to nag them.

“Don't breathe. Take whatever you want.” Su Shuiju came from the kitchen to Lin Shiyao's cooked sugar eggs, seven children, one bowl each, to be distributed to them to eat. “Come on, be careful, eat on the case.” Su Shuiju carefully placed the sugar eggs on the coffee table next to the chair where the children were sitting, while the two children sitting with Dabao on the kang all swallowed large mouths around several cases.

“Am I lying to you? Master's sugar eggs are the best!” After eating the sugar eggs, wipe Tian Dabao in the corner of his mouth and show off to several children beside him.

“Mmm!" the other kids nodded unanimously, then flashing their shiny black eyes, staring at the candy on several cases, but embarrassed to reach for it.

“Dabao, give them the candy.” I took six strings of ten pieces of copper out of the bedroom and heard Tian Dabao's words. It was hilarious. I told him to divide the candy and divide the copper as a prayer for the children: “Come on, take this back and buy some little things to play with. ”

The children looked at each other, seemingly shy but couldn't miss it. Their hands shrunk behind their back and their eyes stared brightly at the copper on Su Shuiju's hand.

Su Shuiju jokingly stuffed the copper into their hands. As for Tian Dabao, when he went to his house in the morning for New Year's Eve and was left for lunch by Aunt Tian, he was given a pre-prepared zodiac rabbit made of 99 copper strings for his anniversary ceremony.

“Thank you, Master Lin.” The youngest Fang Xiaohua mouth is sweet, and the other five children are also thankful.

“You're welcome. What do you want to eat? Ma'am, get it for you?” Su Shuihua touched Fang Xiaohua, who was only six years old, asked with a laugh.

“I want ice candy gourd, actually my brothers want it...”

“Who said that! ”

“Who told you! ”

“ …… ”

…………

After visiting New Year's Eve and eating, drinking and taking it, Tian Dabao led six younger children and continued to push toward other villagers' homes in the village.

In New Year's Eve, there's nothing happier than kids. You can grab whatever you want to go to, whatever you want. There's even copper to give back, can't you be happy! (To be continued.
