The Ugly Woman's Country Life: The Mountain Man Loves His Wife to the Extreme <<< Chapter 1354: Family Matters
When Yang Ruqing brought the Spring Festival couplets over to her neighbor's yard, Yang Huazhong was sweeping the courtyard.
Da'an was helping to tidy the chairs and tables in the parlor, while Sun shi was busy preparing the dishes for the big dinner in the backyard.
Seeing Yang Ruohong bring in the Spring Festival couplets, Yang Huazhong was very happy and quickly put down the broom in his hand to take them.
“Qing'er, aren't you coming over for dinner tonight?” Yang Huazhong asked again.
A few days ago, Mr. Sun asked this question several times.
Yang Ruqing smiled and shook her head: "This year is the first year that I and Tang Yazai got married. I plan to cook the big meal myself."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And tonight's dinner, I'll also invite Uncle Luo and his family to come over together.
Yang Huazhong nodded repeatedly: "Well, it's indeed should bring Tang Yazi's uncle and aunt over to celebrate the New Year together, a family!"
Yang Ruqing continued, "I discussed this with my mother yesterday. The big meal at my place is usually eaten a bit earlier than here."
“After I've finished eating over here, I'll come with Tang YaZi to pay our respects to you both.”
"Then we can sit down together and have a few bites. It'll be like spending the New Year with our parents and younger brothers!" she said.
>
Yang Huazhong was delighted to hear this, "Good, good, this arrangement is the best!"
“Father, since I’m already here, let’s stick up the couplets together.” Yang Ruqing suggested.
Yang Huazhong said, "Good."
"Then I'll go to the backyard and get some rice porridge from Mother."
Backyard, kitchen.
Mr. Sun was very busy.
>
Cut all the vegetables and prepare all the ingredients. Wash what needs to be washed, soak what needs to be soaked, stew what needs to be stewed, and steam what needs to be steamed...
When Yang Ruqing entered, Sun Shi was overjoyed.
“Qing’er, how are your vegetables prepared over there?” she asked.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else! ?
Yang Ruqing then smiled and recited the menu for the big meal to Mrs. Sun.
Sun said, "Oh, there are so many kinds of vegetables here. It's so plentiful. My daughter will be pleased."
>
Yang Ruqing smiled with pursed lips, made some rice flour into congee, and then carried it to the front yard.
Yang Huazhong was tall and burly, so he didn't need a ladder to paste Spring Festival couplets.
Yang Ruoqing stood by the side, holding a basin of rice paste in her hand. Dayan was beside her, responsible for handing out Spring Festival couplets.
The father and his two sons worked together, quickly putting up the Spring Festival couplets.
>
Sticking the big red paper on the wall, suddenly, the festive atmosphere of Chinese New Year came out.
By the time Yang Ruqing returned home with rice paste, she intended to put up the Spring Festival couplets, but discovered that Luofengtang had already pasted the last one on the door of the study.
“Oh, you stuck up the Spring Festival couplets all by yourself? Didn't we agree to do it together?”
>
Yang Ruqing said.
Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "I've already pasted it, so you don't have to bother."
"Hee hee..."
Yang Ruqing smiled and walked over to help him smooth out the corner of the last Spring Festival couplet.
In previous years, people would put up Spring Festival couplets in the afternoon. This year, I pasted them early.
Next, we'll go up the mountain to burn incense.
The custom in this area is that on New Year's Day, in the morning, people go to the ancestral graves on the mountain to burn incense and pay respects.
After returning to the village in the afternoon, I still have to go to the Land Temple at the south end of the village to burn incense.
Before the family feast, every household also burns incense to their ancestors' tablet at home.
On New Year's Eve, people get up at midnight to "open the door".
Then, before daybreak, one has to go to the land temple to burn incense and set off firecrackers, this is called 'chu tianfang'.
After the couple finished putting up the Spring Festival couplets, Yang Ruqing went to the kitchen and brought out a bamboo basket. The basket was filled with incense offerings.
“Come on, let's go into the village to find our uncle. He's probably already waiting for us.”
Yang Ruqing said.
"Are you going too?" Luofengtang asked.
Yang Ruqing gave him a white eye: "That's not nonsense, I'm the new daughter-in-law of your Lao Luo family, I definitely have to go burn incense for the first year!"
Luo Fengtang was very happy. He reached out and took the basket she was carrying in her hand, and with his other hand, he took hers. After saying goodbye to Tuo Ba Xian and Yan Huai'an, the two of them left the house together and went to the village.
The Lao Luo family.
Aunt Wang Cuilian has also prepared offerings, and Lu Tiejiang is changing his shoes.
Seeing this young couple walk over hand-in-hand, Lu Tiejiang was secretly delighted.
"Uncle, Qing'er is going to the mountain with us to burn incense too." Luo Fengtang said as soon as he entered the door.
Lu Tiejiang said, "Good, good. Let our ancestors have a look at our new daughter-in-law from the Lao Luo family and let them be happy too."
Yang Ruqing smiled sheepishly.
Luo the blacksmith again looked at Wang Cuilian beside him: "Cuilian, you also came in this year, why don't you get a new pair of shoes and go with us?"
Wang Cuilian was a little surprised and flattered.
“Well, I won't go then. Qing'er is the proper wife of Lao Luo's family after all...” the woman said.
When the blacksmith heard this, he immediately glared angrily.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
“Qing’er is Tang Yazi's wife, you are my daughter-in-law, you two are the daughters-in-law of our Lao Luo family across two generations…”
Wang Cuilian was still embarrassed. "As a remarried widow, I shouldn't go..."
>
The words of self-depreciation clearly reached the ears of the three people on the edge.
The blacksmith Luo corrected Wang Cuilian very seriously: “What’s wrong with being a widow? Widows are still human beings!”
“Remember, you are Luo Tiejiang's wife, married to me with full ceremony. Before you were a widow, now you are a woman with a husband and a family!”
“Listen to my arrangement, hurry up, change your shoes and let's go to the mountain to burn incense together!”
A family of four went up the mountain to burn incense together.
>
Luo the blacksmith, with his hands clasped behind his back, led the way ahead.
Luo Fengtang carried a bamboo basket in one hand, following closely behind.
Yang Ruqing then walked at the back of the line, holding onto Wang Cuilian's arm.
This year's December, the weather is nice.
Apart from the first few days when it snowed, it had been sunny ever since.
In the twelfth lunar month, when the sun shines brightly, people take advantage of the good weather to dry salted meats and fish.
And the mountain path beneath their feet, and all the trees and bushes in the mountains, were also baked very dry.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yang Ruqing absolutely believed that as long as a single matchstick was thrown down, it would definitely be able to set most of the mountain on fire.
"Tang Yazi, when it's time to burn incense later, leave a little more spirit. It's so dry these days, don't burn the mountain down."
>
She couldn't help but remind Luo Fengtang as he walked away.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Luo Fengtang turned his head and smiled at her: "Well, I'll be careful."
>
Four people arrived at Lao Luo's ancestral graves and burned incense and bowed.
>
Then, when crossing a mountain ridge, they also encountered Lao Yang's large troop.
Old Yang leads the team, with his brothers Yang Huai'an, Yang Huaizhong, Yang Huaming, and Yang Huazhou all present.
Of all the sons, except Yang Hualin who stubbornly stayed in the county and didn't come back, they all came.
And among Sunzi's descendants, besides Yang Yongzhi and Kang Xiazi, the rest also came.
Two groups of people met on the mountain ridge and sat down together for a while, smoking.
At this moment, several more groups of villagers arrived.
Among them, there are also people from Lao Wang's family.
In the mountains, the sound of firecrackers was one after another, it was really lively.
After resting, the crowd dispersed once again and went their separate ways to burn incense.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Here, Yang Ruoheng and Luofengtang arrived at the grave of Lao Er.
Luo Fengtang knelt before the grave, Yang Ruqing followed and knelt beside him.
Although the tomb before us doesn't hold the remains of Tang YaZi's biological father.
But Yang Ruqing nevertheless bowed her head three times with great sincerity.
Back then, if Lao Er hadn't rushed through the night and done everything he could to bring Luo Fengtang back to Changping Village, the baby in his arms would have been killed.
Therefore, this kindness is greater than heaven! Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text! Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?
