Chapter 136 Is there enough food?
At the end of the month, the Ye family will move to a new house.
The Ye family had not originally planned to hold a grand ceremony, but the villagers were too enthusiastic and said that moving into a new house was a big deal and must not be taken lightly.
They knew that the Ye family was an outsider and was not familiar with the housewarming customs of Heihe Village, so some of them helped to choose an auspicious day, some determined the time of moving, and some informed them of the taboos of moving, as if they would be letting the Ye family down if they didn't help.
The Ye family understood that this was the villagers' way of expressing their gratitude, so although they felt it was troublesome, they had no choice but to accept it with pleasure.
The village head was even more concerned and came to the Ye family in person to give instructions.
In the main room, the village head was holding the little girl in his arms, and Ye Yan'an was writing something at the desk.
"Incense, candles, yellow paper, firecrackers, gold ingots, red paper, red cloth, red lanterns, have you written them down?"
"I've got it."
"Do I have to buy all these? This is too much, such a waste of money." Luo Qiuyue felt very sad.
"Wood system, Anai!"
Little Dumpling waved his hands a few times, and there was a "dong dong dong" sound, and the things he wanted to buy piled up on the table.
Luo Qiuyue: “…”
Other members of the Ye family: "..."
Village head: "..."
The village head cleared his throat and pretended nothing had happened. "We also need to prepare glutinous rice, pairs of bowls, chopsticks, and cups. It would be best if we had ten bowls, ten pairs of chopsticks, and ten cups, to symbolize perfection..."
There was a series of bangs, and in the middle of the main room, the plump glutinous rice, the crystal-clear jade chopsticks, and the bowls and plates with delicate glaze were shining on the ground.
"What else do you want?" The little girl asked in a baby voice, blinking her big, watery eyes like grapes.
"Hey, little ancestor, I don't want anything anymore!"
The headman's heart was pounding. If he hadn't been sitting on a chair, he would have fallen to his knees.
"Today?" asked the little dumpling, tilting his head.
"real!"
"No!"
The little dumpling's chubby cheeks puffed up. Ni Meng, how could you forget the most important thing?
I don’t agree!
"I want more!"
The little dumpling waved his hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The four pigs fell to the ground like huge rollers. After rolling a few times, they started to howl, and then looked at the stunned people in the room with confused faces.
Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang!
Eight fat sheep fell from the sky with a "baa baa" sound, knocking unconscious the four pigs who were about to run away.
Giggling!
The chickens flapped their wings and flew in panic through the hole in the roof.
Haha!
The ducks followed their good friend the chicken and joined the family in a panic.
Bang bang bang!
Big carps fell down one after another, flapping their bodies on the ground with their mouths open, splashing water all over everyone.
The village head was completely dumbfounded.
The Ye family is not much better.
Only Ye Buwei was relatively calm because he couldn't see.
But Ye Yanping beside him was crying with his mouth wide open, "Dad, it turns out that the chicken rain in Wild Bear Ridge was caused by Xiao Jiuer. I always thought I was lucky, wuwuwu..."
The little girl was about to wave, but Luo Qiuyue jumped over and held her hand, saying repeatedly, "Baby, baby, please stop, please stop, the house can't hold any more, it can't hold any more..."
"Okay!" The little dumpling stretched out his little finger, "Hey, cute, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok..."
The Ye family nodded vigorously, "I understand, I understand. Xiaojiu, you prepared four pigs, eight sheep, twenty-four chickens, thirty-six ducks, and forty-eight fish."
They are all even numbers, auspicious.
"Fight?" Little Dumpling was a little uncertain.
"Enough! Enough!"
"Enough for the whole village to eat for many meals!"
"Okay!" The little dumpling was relieved, and ran out with his short legs, yelling, "Ding ding, Qi Rourou!"
The Ye family was originally going to go to town for a big purchase, but now they don’t have to go.
In order to conceal his tracks, Ye Yanping dragged a cart to the town in the afternoon. The village head announced that the Ye family was going to do some shopping and would then invite the entire village to their new home for a banquet.
Ye Yanping deliberately did not return until late at night so that no one would know what he bought.
Ye Yanshun's academy happened to be on holiday for two days, so he came back with Ye Yanping.
The next morning, little Dumpling was awakened by the squealing of pigs.
"Sister, get up quickly, it's time to slaughter the pig!" Xiaowen and Xiaowu ran in excitedly.
The weather is getting colder, and the two little ones are running outside early in the morning. Their chubby cheeks are blown red by the wind.
"Dee dee." The little ball was sleeping with a cute look on his face. He climbed out of the bed with his little fleshy arms.
"Sister, cover yourself with the quilt, don't catch a cold!"
Xiaowen and Xiaowu skillfully picked up the clothes on the bedside and helped Xiaotuanzi put them on.
First, I put on the patchwork jacket that my mother had recently sewn for my sister, and then put on the pink quilted jacket.
After putting on clothes, Xiaowen and Xiaowu picked up the chubby little girl and placed her on the edge of the bed, and put on her little socks and shoes.
"Sister, Third Uncle is back."
"Today?"
I haven’t seen San Cucu for a long time, and Xiaotuanzi misses him very much.
Xiaowen and Xiaowu brought Xiaojiuer to the yard.
Wow, the yard is full of people, it’s so lively.
The women followed Yunniang and Luo Qiuyue to process fish, chickens and ducks, while the men followed Ye Yanping to slaughter pigs and sheep.
The four big fat pigs had been gutted, and the villagers were preparing to attack the fat sheep.
"Yan Ping, you bought too much. It's too wasteful!"
These chickens, ducks, fish and meat were prepared by the Ye family for the housewarming banquet three days later. Although the villagers were happy, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the Ye family.
"Not much, not much. It's a rare occasion." Ye Yanping didn't lie, his face flushed red.
Everyone helped to process all the livestock and poultry and cleaned their internal organs. After finishing their work, they went back quietly.
The village head was very satisfied and hugged the little girl lovingly, "Xiao Jiuer, look how good our Heihe Village is now. This is all thanks to you!"
"Those who love others will always be loved by others." Ye Yanshun walked over with a smile, "This is mutual."
"Cao Cao!" The little dumpling opened his little hands and kicked his little feet with joy.
Ye Yanshun hugged her and kissed her.
"Did Xiao Jiuer forget something?"
"Huh?" Little Dumpling's eyes widened.
"Xiao Jiuer forgot to ask uncle for something delicious!"
Ye Yanshun carefully took out a bag of snacks from his pocket and said, "Eat it. This is the lotus cake that your uncle bought for you with the money he earned from copying books."
Half a month ago, the new county magistrate of Xianchuan County finally took office, and the relief grain from the court also arrived.
This was the first time the imperial court had distributed relief grain in the years since the severe drought.
Each person can get half a liter of moldy brown rice.
During this period, each village took turns to receive relief food according to the arrangement of the county government.
The residents of the town were the first to receive it, and since the Black Eagle Village no longer robbed people, the shops in the town gradually resumed normal business.
"Thank you, Chou Chou!" The little dumpling took a bite of the pastry. The sweet taste made the little guy squint his eyes in satisfaction.
Today's life is so happy!
