Chapter 142: New Year's Eve
"Husband, what are you looking for?"
Seeing that the savage husband didn\'t see anyone, Li Haitang hurriedly asked. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Lingchuan\'s face was cold and calm. He didn\'t stand in front of her, which meant that he could control the situation.
"Look for rocks."
The ground was covered with a layer of white snow, Xiao Lingchuan finally picked up a handful of stones, flicked them lightly with his fingers, and the surrounding villagers were also immobilized.
"The silver needles are used up, only the gold needles are left."
His implication is that a group of young people **** people with golden needles, and they are at a disadvantage, so they can\'t pull out one by one after piercing.
"My husband will still live."
Li Haitang reached out her hand to praise, and after a while, she frowned, "But this silver needle is not cheap!"
"It costs nothing, the silver needle is made of iron, and the outside is plated with silver."
Xiao Lingchuan explained that he had a lot of hidden weapons, and he scattered too many along the way back, and now he has used up all of them.
Zhang Zhifu, who is bedridden in Lucheng, can prove that the silver needle is not pure silver, it can be sucked out by a magnet, it is too deceitful!
The couple talked with each other as if no one was present, and they went to Lin Wanjiu\'s house again. The couple\'s belongings had already been packed, and they traveled lightly. Pots, pans, and pans were all unnecessary, and they couldn\'t take the bedding with them.
"When you go to Lucheng, mention Miracle Doctor Li, and the people will lead you to my house."
Li Haitang raised her head, she is a miracle doctor, only the people in the small border town have never seen the world, and they don\'t have the same knowledge as them.
These people should just freeze where they are. Li Haitang is going to go to the Yamen to sue the officials and inform the government to deal with the mess.
"I\'ll take care of it. I\'ll send you and Jin Hu home first."
Lin Family Village is not far from Li Family Village, Xiao Lingchuan took a look at the weather and made arrangements, and after sending off people, he will deal with everyone in Lin Family Village.
Li Haitang nodded, she believed in Xiao Lingchuan unconditionally. When he came home in the evening, he didn\'t say the specific situation, just skipped it lightly.
The villagers who participated in the Linjia Village have all eaten their prison meals. It is said that the prison in the county is full within a day, and the county magistrate is still complaining. I can\'t even look down on it.
The farce came to an end temporarily. After two days, Li Haitang\'s heart gradually calmed down. No matter what happened, big or small, life must continue.
In Daqi, the north and the south are used as the dividing line. The northern part is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, while the southern part is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The day of Xiaonian is also a day for folks to worship stoves.
According to folklore, every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Stove Lord would go to heaven to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor, and let the Jade Emperor reward and punish him.
Therefore, when sending the stove, people put candies, water, beans, and moss on the table in front of the Stove King Statue; the last three are to prepare the Stove King\'s mount.
When offering sacrifices to the stove, Kanto sugar is melted with fire and spread on the mouth of the Stove Lord, in order to make him sweeten his mouth and say something nice about himself.
Xiao Lingchuan used to not live in New Year\'s Eve, and during the New Year\'s Eve, he was always alone, either walking darts outside, or alone in the mountains.
Every family is reunited and festive, and there is only one husband in the family. Li Haitang feels empty when he thinks about it.
"Jin Hu, you eat a piece of stove candy, and your brother-in-law and I don\'t like it."
The stove candy is safe, so don\'t waste it, Li Haitang held a feather duster and urged his little brother, since he is only a baby, he should eat more candy.
It is a custom in the Northland to sweep the dust and cut the window grilles on the day of the new year. Li Haitang made two hats out of straw paper, and divided the work with Xiao Lingchuan to clean the inside and outside of the house spotlessly.
In the twelfth lunar month, it snowed every two days, and the roof was covered with a thick layer of snow. After walking around outside, after entering the door, the ground was trampled wet.
Li Haitang was skillful and made a few pairs of cotton slippers, which were specially placed at the door. When entering the door, the cotton slippers were changed first, and a soft blanket was spread on the wooden floor.
Straw curtains are hung outside the windows of the house. During the day, when there is sunshine, the straw curtains are set up to let the sun see into the house. When it gets dark, the straw curtains can block a lot of wind.
The mountain is quiet, there is only the sound of the wind at night, no noise, the family is comfortable together, and the furnishings in the house are all designed by Li Haitang.
There is a sofa and a small coffee table in the main room, the sofa is surrounded by cotton cushions, various dried fruits, candied fruit, and pastries are placed on the coffee table, and a small wooden trash can is placed beside it.
A few pillows are placed behind the sofa, all of which are stitched together with rags, adding color to the monotonous colors in the room.
"Sister, what are you having for dinner tonight?"
Li Jinhu beat his back and sat on the sofa to rest. When he got up early in the morning, his sister caught him as a young man. He just wanted to drink some tea and rest his feet.
He looked at the trash can next to the sofa, thinking that his sister was poor and fastidious, whoever ate melon seeds and threw the skins on the ground, and cleaned them all together, but her sister said that she should develop good hygiene habits.
Li Haitang suddenly became more clean-loving. Li Jinhu had no doubts at all. He felt that it was his eldest sister and the prefect\'s daughter who became close friends in the boudoir, imitating the style of the official daughter.
"How about a BBQ?"
Taking advantage of the glare of the sun, Li Haitang hurriedly put all the quilts in the yard to dry in the sun, and then beat them with wooden sticks, trying to make the cotton softer, so that the covers would be soft and smell like the sun.
During the past few days in the mountains, eating at home is very casual. Yesterday Xiao Lingchuan caught two **** fish in the deep pool, and made a large pot of boiled fish with bean sprouts, red pepper and a little dried tofu.
Maybe Xiaolingchuan is very good at cutting the fish, and the fish fillets are thin. First, the fish fillets are cooked in oil to make the fish tender on the outside and tender on the inside. Add Chinese prickly ash and chili peppers to make it full of peppery flavor. The two fish weigh four to five catties in total. , Three people eat, and there is nothing left after eating.
"Sister, you and your brother-in-law are both good at cooking, and you want to eat more after eating."
Li Jinhu swallowed. If there was anything more interesting to him than reading, he couldn\'t think of anything else but eating.
His sister said that eating, drinking and having fun must come first. Life can be meaningful only if you eat and drink well.
Li Haitang: "When did I say that, why don\'t I remember?"
Cooking boiled fish was too oily. Li Jinhu wanted to eat it again, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth. Anyway, Chinese New Year is a festival every day. After a few days, he can continue to make requests.
Xiaonian is an important festival before New Year\'s Eve, Li Haitang has long planned that instead of cooking at home, he will have a barbecue to satisfy his cravings. Beef and mutton, chicken, pork tenderloin, rib skewers have been cut and marinated by Xiao Lingchuan, and there are two or three skewers of chicken wings, chicken gizzards, and seafood such as squid, prawns, and clams, which are definitely enough for three people.
