The customs and habits of the village are that the elderly with a positive number of fifty or sixty must receive blessings.

The productivity is low and the work is under high pressure all year round, and the lifespan is generally not high. For example, the ancestor of the Zhong family is almost eighty years old.

To do this well, the most important thing is that everyone is happy together, called "joy together".

It means that your family is prosperous and full of blessings, especially the three generations of the Yao family are living together, and they are in the process of becoming popular. If you don’t do this, the village will also remind you.

When every family has a big event and needs a large number of people to help, they have to go and get the family they have to get to the village elders, and the family is asking them to discuss.

First, it means that the family needs to ask for help from the village if they have something to do, and second, it means that they respect the elders in the village, and that they will invite them from one family to another.

Other people who come to help are called changing jobs.

When there are weddings and weddings in your family, others come to help, and when other people’s homes need it, you have to go.

There is also a point in this: if you go to others to help and do your best, your popularity will be better. On the contrary, if you go to others to help, others will behave like this, and your popularity will become worse and worse until no one comes to help.

This is also a kind of life in the countryside, called "A Family and Having a Facilities" Bang.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, my grandfather went to the village to invite people. At night, the Yao family had to prepare some food. You couldn't come to discuss things and drink plain water. It was not etiquette.

The elders who came from the village who had the right to speak were relatively old and could not eat too hard or too dry. Grandma prepared sugar eggs.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon. It was cold in winter and it was dark early. Yu Lizheng, Uncle Tang, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhong, and his son Zhong Xingfu and other six people came to the Yao family.

In theory, Zhong always refused to show up for such a thing. He asked his son to carry it on his back, which was also a support for the Yao family, indicating that the Zhong family values ​​the Yao family and is also a kind of affection.

Sit down according to seniority, the uncle quickly poured water, and a fire was lit in the main hall early, and a cross was set up on the fire at this time.

A pottery is hung on it, and water is burned inside. As long as the fire is not extinguished, there will be hot water to drink.

To help grandma, of course grandma has to be present, and leave the sugar eggs to the eldest uncle, second uncle and her own mother.

The eggs that need to be cooked with sugar eggs do not break the heart, and the eggs become round, which is the time to test the skills of a wife in the family.

This is also the best hospitality thing.

One bowl of each person is six in a bowl, which means six and six.

When I saw that the bowl was made of ceramics, the cup was also ceramics, and the food was six eggs. I knew it very well. The Yao family was afraid that it was really going to take good care of Zhong's blessings.

At the same time, it also shows that the Zhong family's status in the Yao family is also the filial piety of the children and grandchildren.

Mr. Zhong's seemingly turbid eyes were full of understanding and excitement. The Yao family really came out.

Some things are unknown to others. Zhong Gui is his great-grandson and will never hide anything from him. Manager Tian asked the Yao family to make hundreds of taels of silver to the Zhong family. This is why he is here to support the Zhong family. This is to treat their Zhong family as the Zhong family's wife, and it is also a kind of friendship.

In fact, the old Zhong clan is really the grandmother Zhong clan’s wife, but they just don’t know.

Finally, the discussion decided that six dishes and one soup are not counted as vegetables, and six dishes are definitely better.

Grandpa took out the menu and the six dishes were negotiated last night, including steamed pork with noodles, Dongpo pork, stewed chicken with dried vegetables, fried eggs with leeks, stir-fried peach with cabbage, cold-smoked pork with red bean curd, four big dishes, and two side dishes.

The menu brought out by the owner proved that it could be done. Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law of the Yao family, a blessed person, this is the first one in the village."

Grandma also smiled and said, "There is the filial piety of the children. Everyone is happy and happy. I have to trouble Uncle Zhong and all the uncles, brother, Yao Zhong thank you first."

As he said that, he gave a full greeting to the people openly, put his left hand on his right hand and bent down to give a greeting of sixty degrees.

As soon as grandma's actions came out, the big men were still stunned. Uncle Tang beat him and said it was not troublesome. Grandpa and the three brothers of the Yao family also thanked everyone.

At the same time, Uncle Zhong Xingfu is the governor. (The governor means that there must be someone in charge of the matter when holding a banquet in the village)

After the matter was decided, the three brothers of the Yao family held up torches and sent several out home.

The preparations will start on the tenth day of tomorrow. First, I have to clean up the home and put away what should be put away. I also have to prepare the beds of the relatives of the three families, grinding rice and glutinous rice into powder, and there are many miscellaneous things.

On the morning of the 11th, after eating breakfast, it was snowing heavily, and the road was slippery. Uncle Yao and his second uncle were wearing straw hats, straw raincoats, and straw sandals. They rushed to the town to buy pork with six brothers who were attending the school hall.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and someone came knocking on and off. Everyone brought the benches, tables, bowls, chopsticks, plates, basins, pots and so on at home.

The man was busy building the stove, moving the table and benches, and the aunts cleaned the dishes and chopsticks. The second aunt went to the field to pull up some bougain vegetables, and the cabbage prepared for everyone's loud lunch.

There were about a dozen people who came to help, all of whom were good friends, and everyone talked and laughed, and did the same thing.

Ning Yue looked at the people outside through the window, and everyone's eyes were full of smiles. It was cold and they were busy squatting in the yard. In fact, they were easily satisfied, and there were still many good people.

A scream sounded outside the yard. It turned out that the uncle and second uncle were back, and they called a mule and pulled half a fan of pork.

Everyone was forced to go to heaven, the Yao family wanted to go to heaven!

Uncle Gu: "Brother Yao family, everyone has accepted this blessing. I am really lucky. Look at this guy, half a pork, sizzling."

The uncle smiled and said, "What's the matter? In two years, the Gu family's uncle will be the same."

"Yes, everyone will be fine in two years. I'll get one for my dad, hahaha."

Looking at the pork, there were a lot of people slamming their tongues.

The person who came to help, the main house wanted to invite everyone to a meal. The lunch was a braised cabbage, mixed noodles, and a large pot. Each person took a big bowl, put the vegetable spoon into the bowl, took a steamed bun, sat, squat, stood, and ate while it was hot. Everyone was delicious. This is the various aspects of life.

In the afternoon, everyone will help you, do things according to the owner's wishes, and arrange the things you want to do.

To make steamed pork with rice, except for rice three, glutinous rice seven, cut the pork into a large piece, burn the skin, clean the hair, wash it, drain the water, cut it into a piece as thick as a thumb, put it aside, press a bowl of ten pieces of meat to hold the flour and put it in.

When mixing powder, you should pay attention to dry and wet and salty flavors. Steamed meat will not be glutinous when dry, and will become slurry when wet, and it will not taste delicious.

Dongpo pork, you can also take the meat and pork leg meat. First, roast the skin, wash it clean, drain it, cut it according to the size of the bowl, cut it into large diced meat in the middle and keep it peeled, and fry it into golden brown in the oil pan. Put some radish pieces in the bowl, add the meat, drizzle with soy sauce and colorant water, and finally steam it with the paste for one night.

When several aunts and aunts saw this, they really didn't know what to say. The method was very particular, and they were tillage and consumed oil, but they looked really delicious.

The three sisters-in-law just beat him up and said he was busy, but he didn't know if it was OK.

These two dishes were said by Ning Yue, but this is the first time I made them. The seasonings are only salt and a little soy sauce, which is amazing.

There are about fifty families in Xinghua Village. Every place says that there are many children and grandchildren. It is common for six or seven families to be born. At least, there are more than 200 people coming to receive blessings tomorrow, and with relatives, there are only a few more.

If you count as one table of ten people, children should have twenty-five tables if they don’t go to the table. It would be better to make jokes.

At night, the steamed pork with rice noodles and Dongpo pork had to be steamed overnight. The fire could not be cut off and the shelves were needed to be added continuously. The kitchen was close to Yao Jiati's wing room, and this matter was left to Yao Jiati.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, grandma's birthday was not yet dawn, and the whole family got up and prepared. The weather was getting better and the snow stopped.

Today, the six brothers did not practice martial arts, and Lin Qing was invisible in the Yao family. He came before dawn and no one saw him when he left.

He also asked for leave with the Master, and filial piety is greater than that of heaven, so the Master naturally agreed.

Today, my grandmother wore a brand new green cloth cotton coat with an open-clad embroidered vest. The vest was a modified medium-length style, with the same color cotton pants underneath, a thousand-layer cotton shoes, a jade bracelet on the wrist, a cloud-patterned silver hairpin on the head, and a piece in the village.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law are similar to their sister-in-law. They are wearing used cotton coats and coats on the outside. They have to do things today.

Grandpa, uncle, second uncle, his father, and six brothers also wore used used clothes and cotton vests.

Only Ning Yue, Li Niang wore her into a rice dumpling, and the combing sea in front covered her eyebrows and eyes, making her look like a silly fat girl.

When drinking porridge in the morning, the six brothers didn't dare to look at Ning Yue, for fear that they would laugh.

Ning Yue raised her eyebrows and threatened in her eyes: For grandma, I will endure you first.

After breakfast, I sweep the snow and beat ice, place things to help my grandma receive blessings at noon, and it is also the time for everyone to have a meal.

After a while, Zhong Xingfu and some people arrived, and the first thing everyone said was: "Come on blessings."

At the same time, put the good gifts prepared by my home next to my grandma, wrapped in red paper, and I couldn't see what was inside.

At the same time, each performs his or her duties and does his or her work.

Steam buns with dough, steam brown rice, stew bone soup, kill roosters, pick leeks, wash cabbage, laughter from aunts, jokes from uncles, and laughter from children, are intertwined into a piece.

Whenever a child comes to kowtow, grandma will give a mahua as a snack. The child she gets hold on to her mother and says it’s delicious.

The mohua is fried with sesame oil from the old noodles. The sesame oil is expensive, two pounds, and it costs 300 yuan.

It was almost noon, but the three sisters-in-law's family came or not. The three were a little anxious. If the in-laws did not come, the three sisters-in-law would be laughed at.

The three of them were almost unable to laugh. The governor Zhong Xingfu came to say hello and was ready to accept the blessing, which made the three of them even more anxious.

At this moment, firecrackers came from outside. When they heard this, the three of them hurriedly walked out to see it, and finally their hearts fell.

Outside, grandpa, uncle, second uncle, and their own father were picking up people, namely the eldest uncle's mother and father, brother and sister-in-law. The second uncle's mother and younger brother, and the Ning Yue family came to the grandfather and uncle.

Seeing his grandfather and uncle, Ning Yue certainly had to come forward to greet him. Only then did everyone notice Ning Yue, who was like a rice dumpling.

Ning Yue restrained her breath and showed a silly five-year-old girl.

Seeing that the in-laws arrived, they also expressed that grandma Zhong's blessings were fully received.

Grandma sat in the main hall with a straw mat in front of her. Under the watching of the villagers, she kowtowed one by one from her uncle to wish the old man a long life and a happy health.

Finally, grandpa pulled a piece of grandma's hair into his sleeve bag, and the gift was completed.

Governor Zhong Xingfu said, "The Yao family has completed the blessings, and everyone has received the blessings."

The helpers started preparing to serve food and eat. Mr. Zhong, Mr. Cun, and Mr. Li, who were the highest in age, were sitting in the main seat with his grandmother and grandfather, and the others sat in turn.

As soon as he sat down, another sound of firecrackers sounded. Manager Tian and a young man of seventeen or eighteen walked in. The yard was silent.

Everyone has seen Manager Tian once. A young man was wearing a light blue cotton gown with a broadband of the same color on his waist. He had a clear face and looked like a rich child.

Yao Jiati strode forward immediately, and the shopkeeper Tian said, "I am here to receive my blessings. I wish Mrs. Yao a long life and good health."

The man next to him: "Xiaosheng Xue Zhixing receives blessings on behalf of his father, and wishes Mrs. Yao a good life and good health."

Yao Jiati hurriedly said: "Tongfu, Tongfu, Yao family thanked the shopkeeper Tian and Boss Xue, please invite you from the two."
