Ruan Tang handed the apron to Miao Jianye and said, "Brother-in-law, put it on. I've soiled your shirt by rubbing against it in the kitchen."
Miao Jianye was stunned. If he remembered correctly, he was a guest?
Liu Xiangyun grabbed the apron and stuffed it into Miao Jianye's hands, muttering softly, "Sister Ruan asked you to help with cooking. She treats me like a family member. You must perform well and show off your unique skills!"
On the other side, Ruan Tang also winked at Ji Nanfeng. After bullying her, he came to bully her man again. She still didn't believe she couldn't control him.
Miao Jianye resigned himself to his fate and put on an apron, and they went into the kitchen to compete with each other.
When He Kun came in, he saw two grown men working hard in the kitchen. There were six delicious dishes on the table, and the fire in the kitchen was still burning.
He knew that he had been very busy these days, but wasn't it too much to prepare so many dishes to entertain him?
After dinner, when everyone in the family compound had quieted down, Liu Xiangyun asked Ji Nanfeng to place three plates of melon and shrimp snacks on the first floor.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that odd numbers are not served at the banquet. Odd numbers are considered incomplete numbers. Only when there are funerals or visiting graves will three dishes be served.
The three dishes served with the wine are meant to get rid of bad luck. The number three also means to disperse. The bad luck is gone.
Liu Xiangyun also asked Ruan Tang to find the clothes she wore that day and put them on the scarecrow.
Liu Xiangyun threw the old tortoise shell onto the table and said, "Auspicious time, 㳔."
Main gate, open.
Liu Xiangyun lit incense and chanted a spell, then walked around the scarecrow three times clockwise and three times counterclockwise. Then, he burned the incense and pointed it at the scarecrow's heart.
The flames quickly jumped up and engulfed the scarecrow.
Ji Nanfeng suddenly tightened his grip and held Ruan Tang tightly.
"Are you okay?"
Ruan Tang shook her head. She wasn't a scarecrow, so what could happen to her? If Ji Nanfeng hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have thought it necessary to do this.
She is a staunch atheist.
After the scarecrow burned out, Liu Xiangyun asked Ji Nanfeng to bury the ashes in the corner of the yard.
After doing all this, Liu Xiangyun actually took the candy on the table and ate it.
Ruan Tang was shocked.
He Kun was also shocked.
Liu Xiangyun bit the candy until it was crunchy. "You guys want some too? Take some for yourselves."
At this moment, Ruan Tang began to doubt whether she was a staunch atheist. At best, she was just an elementary school student.
He Kun closed his jaw with difficulty and asked, "Can this sacrifice be eaten?"
"Why not eat something so good? Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't eat it?" Liu Xiangyun grabbed another handful of big rabbit candy and gave it to Miao Jianye. "Have you seen a ghost eating candy? I haven't seen any."
Ruan Tang also peeled a large rabbit toffee and stuffed it into her mouth. "Yeah, if humans can't even eat large rabbit toffee, why should ghosts eat it?"
After burying the ashes, Ji Nanfeng saw Ruan Tang and the others holding a handful of candy, almost making a mess in the night.
Are they all possessed by ghosts?
Ji Nanfeng looked at Ruan Tang among the ghosts, wondering if he could rescue Ruan Tang from these people, no, these ghosts.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, he went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and walked towards the living room with a grimace on his face.
The four people (ghosts) looked at Ji Nanfeng holding a kitchen knife and walking towards them with firm steps.
Perhaps it was because Ji Nanfeng was filled with murderous intent, the three of them silently stepped aside, allowing him to walk next to Ruan Tanglu.
Ruan Tang looked at Ji Nanfeng doubtfully, pretending that she was unhappy about him making him work, and lovingly peeled a large rabbit toffee and stuffed it into his mouth.
All of Ji Nanfeng's psychological preparation was melted by a piece of candy.
Ruan Tang asked casually, "What are you doing with a kitchen knife?"
Ji Nanfeng was silent for a moment, then uttered two words. "Kill the melon."
"I've been craving this melon for a long time, kill it quickly."
He Kun also urged Ji Nanfeng to act quickly.
Ji Nanfeng silently killed the melon, picked up a piece of melon and started to bite it.
After finishing the midnight snack, it’s time to take a shower and go to bed.
While Ji Nanfeng and Miao Jianye were cooking, Ruan Tang and Liu Xiangyun had already cleaned out two rooms.
One room for Liu Xiangyun and his wife, and one room for He Kun.
Liu Xiangyun: "How about I have a room to myself? Let the two men sleep in one."
"Why?" Ruan Tang was puzzled. "Aren't they still two rooms?"
Liu Xiangyun explained that there was a rule in Hongyang County that a couple could not stay together when staying at someone else's house. Even if the daughter was married, she could not sleep with her son-in-law at her parents' house. Unless they slept separately, otherwise the family's luck would be taken away.
Ruan Tang looked at Ji Nanfeng questioningly, but he shrugged indifferently.
I've even eaten the offerings. Isn't it too late to worry about such vague things as luck?
Ji Nanfeng didn't mind, so Ruan Tang didn't care either.
"I used up all my luck in this life to marry him. Nothing can take it away from me. You two can sleep together. Just wash the sheets yourself if you get them dirty."
After saying that, Ruan Tang took Ji Nanfeng and left.
As soon as he entered the room, Ji Nanfeng pushed Ruan Tang against the door.
With a bang.
Liu Xiangyun, who was enjoying the fun, stood outside the door and started to make trouble, saying, "Sister Ruan, if you guys soil the sheets, I can help you wash them."
He Kun was also a person who liked to be lively and joined in the fun, but as time went on, he suddenly found himself the only one left outside the door.
There was a bang from the door over there.
It was noon and he was still single, hoeing his field.
The next day, Ji Nanfeng woke up early and touched Ruan Tang's face, which was still warm.
"Wife, it's time to go to work."
Ji Nanfeng sighed secretly. Ruan Tang was often late for work at the machinery factory, but it was a part-time job so it didn't matter.
But he couldn't go to work properly. He had to take advantage of the next two days to go to the provincial capital to find an alarm clock and a watch for Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang mumbled something and turned over to sleep again.
Ji Nanfeng had no choice but to wring out a hot towel to wipe Ruan Tang's face.
"call……"
Ruan Tang stretched and then took off the towel from her face.
As soon as Ruan Tang opened the door, she saw a number of children gathered at their door. They greeted Ruan Tang politely and then asked, "Aunt Ruan, is Uncle Ji home?"
"㱗."
Ji Nanfeng responded as he took out a bag of candy. "Ten water candies and two large rabbits per person."
Ji Nanfeng asked the children to line up, and soon the older children who were originally preparing to go to school also heard the news and ran to line up.
After sharing the candy, the child saw two chickens with their heads drooping under the eaves and exclaimed, "Auntie Ruan, your chickens are dead."
Ruan Tang looked in the direction the child was pointing and realized that it was the chicken doll she had made.
"That's fake. It's stuffed with reeds. Feel it, it's all soft."
The child bravely poked it and found it was soft. Then he opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"If you like it, take it and play with it."
Children these days didn't have many toys, so seeing these two lifelike chickens made them extremely happy.
It was agreed that each person would stay for a day.
Then, that day, the two were surrounded by doctors.
They took the chicken doll apart along the seams, took out the reeds, and saw a complete piece of chicken skin.
This chicken is a hen that has just laid eggs. Its skin is thin, but there is no damage on it.
Is this still a human being?!
Has regular practice already reached this point?!
Excellent people work so hard, how can they just sit back and do nothing?!
Ruan Tang didn't know where the internal circulation craze started.
