Chapter 499 Happy autumn and winter time

Autumn is the harvest season. The villagers who have worked hard and busy for a year have already taken back their grain and rice homes and filled their granaries. The fields in autumn are gray, because the fields that have been harvested will have to be empty for a while, and winter rape will not be planted until early winter. The mountains are green and mixed with golden tones. Apart from planting some crops such as radishes, cabbage, and autumn buckwheat in the mountains, most of the mountains have ate and leaves fallen.

At this time, we walk along the path from Jinjia Road to the foot of Dagu Mountain, and then along the rugged weeds that are almost invisible, we climb to the pine forest on the top of the mountain, and lie down on the ground full of pine needles, as if lying on a soft carpet. Then we open our eyes and through the gaps of the not-so-dense pine branches, we move towards the white clouds floating on the blue sky, which can make people have infinite imagination. Let the no longer vicious sunlight shine through the pine forest, shine the mottled spots on the two people lying on the ground. When we look at each other, we feel a sense of golden light. The breeze blows, and occasionally a few pine needles will fall... In such an environment, whether it is lying quietly or walking slowly, it is a very beautiful enjoyment.

This place has become a paradise for Mu Yi and Jin Lily. Sometimes Mu Yi will tell Jin Lily some interesting childhood stories. Sometimes, he will also talk about sadness and regrets. But more so, enjoy the beauty of this autumn.

The environment here is the most suitable for sunbathing, listening to pine waves, and dreaming. The only drawback is that there is no water source here. Only in the rainy season in midsummer, the reservoir built on the top of this mountain will be filled with rain.

"Little Golden Lily, wait until next year's rainy season. I must come to this pool and swim for a while to fill the regret that the pool where the big stones are abandoned."

"Okay. Just come and wash it. I will help you keep your clothes and ensure that you won't let someone go."

"Don't you swim with me twice?"

"I don't accompany you. I can't swim. You know, although we have a river here, it is also a famous leisure river. Only in the rainy season, there will be some river water when it rainstorms above Nanqing and heavy water rises. But it also comes fiercely and goes in a hurry. Sometimes when the water recedes, there will be some gatherings in the big pits that have dug out the sand. Some bold children will run inside to take a shower. But it is actually quite dangerous, so we never go to take a shower."

"If there is a big flood next year, I will also take a shower in these puddles."

...

As time flies, it is already winter with snowflakes. After New Year's Day, the new year is coming. The busiest thing for Jin Lily and Mu Yi this winter is to eat the "Nine Bowls".

The wedding banquet between Jin Yanli and Lu Junkang was also held in this winter. Mu Yi and Jin Baihe became part of the bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's bride's head.

As soon as "Li Niang's Head" was knocked, the lantern and torched, the vast bride and groom were pulled to the bride and groom, the bride and groom, the bride and groom, and the bride and pick up the bride and pick up the bride and the bride, as well as Jin Yanli's dowry, headed towards Lu Kangjun's house. Only Jin Yanli's parents, brothers and sisters, and a group of relatives greeted other relatives and friends who came to congratulate him to the table...

They all cried as they watched Jin Yanli parting with her mother. Mu Yi didn't feel anything at all. Instead, Jin Baihe was so moved that she shed tears. Mu Yi even laughed at her. "It's not that you are getting married, why are you shed?"

Jin Baihe replied to Mu Yi: "You don't understand."

The convoy left Jinjia Road, followed the road below Xianqiao, passed the entrance of Xiatang Primary School, and then drove over the Lujiashan Bridge on the Xigui River, and drove another section of the hillside road before they arrived.

The groom's house was very lively and festive. The bright red character "囍" had been posted on the two doors... A group of relatives and friends, those who cut meat, wash vegetables, cook... were very busy. Smoking, drinking, playing cards... they were all happy. Even the naughty children were running around in the yard, chasing and fighting each other.

Seeing that the bride came, the firecrackers for the welcome began to crackle. The bride waited for the firecrackers to stop at the door, then passed through the strong smoke, then stepped over a brazier placed at the door, and officially entered the Lu family.

The groom and bride followed the guest attendant to hold a ceremony. The relatives of the Lu family welcomed the bride and sent out the bride team into the house, brought out the prepared melon seeds and peanut candy, and welcomed everyone...

Because Lu Kangjun's family is on the second half of the mountain, the people here are somewhat scattered and Yi and Han people live in a mixed residence. After leaving the gate of the Lu family, there are hillsides and empty terraces outside. Walking up the mountain are barren mountains and wild ridges, and walking down the mountain is the Great Turtle River. There is really no place to play. In addition, it is dark early in winter, and it is almost dark after five o'clock. The mountain wind is blowing with the river wind, which is really cold. Mu Yipeng planned to take the golden lily out for a walk, so he had to give up.

I could only continue to go back to the Lu family's main room to stay. The scent of kerosene burning in the lantern in the house was mixed with the scent of honeycomb coal burning with high sulfur content, which was really unbearable, but it was not in the house, and it was dark and cold outside. Mu Yi and Jin Baihe stayed in the main room for a while, and then went to the yard to take a breath. By the way, I saw how the people who helped the Lu family cooked. It was very interesting to see the people who helped cut meat. Mu Yi wanted to join them.

However, because he is a noble "family member", everyone did not let him participate. Mu Yi felt a little strange and didn't know why, so he could only keep this matter in his heart and find someone to ask when he got back.

However, although he didn't help, it didn't affect Mu Yi asking them what the chefs needed to do. Why did Mu Yi care about this? Because, apart from some complicated rituals, the most important thing is these chefs. If you want to successfully prepare a "Nine Bowls", it's really like a war. You have to arrange troops, dispatch soldiers and prepare food and grass... It's really a lot of energy.

Of course, what Mu Yi needs to learn is not how to cook a dish. What he wants to learn is how to calculate how many rice, oil, meat, eggs, fish, etc., and how to estimate how many people are needed to help the chef so that he can be confident until he gets married without getting blind.

Learning is useful. Although what I learned is not concise, it more or less let Mu Yi know a general procedure and method.

After learning these basic things, Mu Yi went to see how the relatives in the house settled and entertained the bride-sending team. After learning this, he went to learn "late skies". Jin Baihe was not interested in these things, so she accompanied her cousin Jin Yanli to play poker.

When everyone had lunch, they arranged for the "bride-sending" to go to bed. Lu Junkang's house was quite wide. There were two areas on the floor, a layer of quilt was laid on the ground for mats, and then a bed was placed on it for burrowing, which were all large and large shops. This facilitates the simple division of everyone into "women's shop" and "men's shop". Because most of the teams who sent the wedding were women, there were naturally more women's shops than men's shops.

Jin Baihe wanted to accompany her cousin, so she didn't want to go to bed. She didn't want to go to bed, so Mu Yi naturally couldn't go to bed. She just stayed up until midnight and couldn't stand it anymore.

Jin Yanli persuaded Jin Baihe: "Sister Lily, don't pay much attention to it. Mu Yi and you go upstairs to rest."

Jin Baihe and Mu Yi washed their faces and burned their feet, and prepared to go upstairs to rest. However, there was no toothbrush here. Mu Yi was still smart, so he found some salt, and the two rinsed their mouths with salt water.

In fact, a quilt is still very hard on the floor. Mu Yi and Jin Lily both like to sleep softly. So, I tossed and turned around this night and couldn't sleep. However, the two of them slept in two areas respectively, and could not speak, so they could only toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

It was finally overwhelmed until it fell asleep. But before it could sleep for a long time, the chickens started crowing. Maybe it was because the owner was happy that it was happy? It sang loudly and kept shouting. It really made Mu Yi, who had finally fallen asleep, had to wake up from his sleep.

Everyone got up and washed their faces. The helper had already prepared breakfast for the one who gave the wedding. It was "too early". It should be a little simpler to get too early. There are two foods to choose from, one is fermented glutinous rice dumplings, and the other is boiling poached eggs.

Mu Yi and Jin Lily both chose to eat fermented rice dumplings. It was too early. Everyone had nothing to do. Because they had to wait until the groom's house was "just wine" in the afternoon, and the older female relatives negotiated with the groom's mother, and the team that sent the bride's house completed their "mission".

It was really boring to be stupid like this. Some people didn't have a good rest, so they continued to go to sleep and "get back to bed". Some people who like to play mahjong and play cards, so they rounded the table and started playing.

Jin Baihe and Mu Yi stayed in the house for a while. When they saw the sun coming out, they went out and walked along the way to the river to play. They played for a while until they were almost "after noon", and then rushed back. Because everyone must sit together "neatly" during dinner, otherwise they would be laughed at by the relatives of the man's family.

"After noon" and "late skiing", it is also the standard for "nine bowls". However, the dishes should be more flexible. After noon, play for a while, and at about two or three o'clock, the man's house will hold a ceremony. With the setting of firecrackers as a signal, the house is holding a ceremony, and the yard will start to install a seat.

The team that sent the brides was naturally arranged in the first round. The groom and groom did not come to accompany the brides to eat. The team that sent the brides quickly got off the table. Because the interval between "afternoon" and "prime wine" was not long, everyone was not hungry.

After negotiating with the bride's mother-in-law, the team of sending off the bride's house left the groom's house. When the relatives of the mother's house were sent away, the bride and groom went back to the table to "toast" and thank everyone. The banquet dispersed, and at night it was a "chat room". After the bride and friends dispersed. The groom and bride "breed on the wedding night". When they were dawn, they were "returning to the door". When they came back, the whole wedding was complete.
