Chapter 948: Eternal Life (Third Update)
While having breakfast, Yang Huazhong and Sun were planning on celebrating Old Yang’s sixtieth birthday this time.
Because Lao Yangtou is staying with his eldest son this month, his sons paid for the dinner together.
It will be done in the main room, and everyone will go over to help.
What Yang Huazhong and Sun are planning now is other things besides paying for food and drinks.
"Mother Qing'er, I want to buy something else for dad." Yang Huazhong said.
"What is it?" asked Sun.
"Hat, clothes, shoes and socks, I'm ready." She continued.
Yang Huazhong shook his head: "I want to buy a set of 'immortality' for dad."
"Immortality?"
Mrs. Sun was surprised, and Yang Ruoqing beside her couldn't help but raise her head.
"Dad, my father is quite strong and healthy. He's fine. Why do you want to buy him something like that?"
Yang Ruoqing asked puzzledly.
Eternal life is another way of saying it.
The original meaning refers to the coffin.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Sun rushed to explain: "This is the custom in our area."
"While the elderly are still alive, prepare their homes a hundred years from now."
"Immortal life. After purchasing immortality, your father's body and bones will become healthier. Immortality has this auspicious meaning." Sun said.
After such an explanation, Yang Ruoqing suddenly understood.
Seeing that Yang Ruoqing asked no more questions, Sun asked Yang Huazhong instead.
"Purchasing immortality is a big deal. You have to discuss it with your eldest brother and the others, right?" she asked.
Yang Huazhong nodded: "I have to talk to you about this first, and then I will discuss it with them later."
Sun said: "You just have to make up your mind. , I have no objection.”
Yang. A smile appeared on Hua Zhong's face: "Okay, then this matter is settled for now. I will go to the town to buy things now."
Sun said: "Qing'er opened it for you. Do you have the gift list with you? ”
Yang Huazhong smiled and patted his pocket: "Not only do I carry it with me, but I also remember it in my mind."
Sun said: "Oh, tell me, what should I buy? ”
Yang Huazhong Said: "Ten pounds of moon cakes, ten pounds of mung bean cake, ten pounds of pork, three grass carp. Four jars of osmanthus wine, two packs of dry tobacco, right?"
Sun and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other, mother Both women laughed.
"Dad is so awesome, he can recite it like a stream!" Yang Ruoqing praised.
Sun also had a smile on her face.
Yang Huazhong grinned, said goodbye to his wife and daughter, took enough money, and drove the family carriage to the town to buy gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Why hasn't Tang Yazi come here today? He has come here in the past few days."
While clearing away the dishes, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but say.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Maybe she was busy with other things."
The Luo family has several acres of their own land to take care of.
There are also fish stocked in the pond behind the village.
Although Blacksmith Luo followed Luo Fengtang's suggestion, he had already invited several young people in the village to help take care of the fish pond.
But Blacksmith Luo worked on the fields and vegetable gardens himself.
Tang Yao Zijun spent most of his month off helping her with this and that.
It was only right that he take some time to help his uncle.
……
“A sneeze!”
On the way back to Changping Village from Wanghai County, a certain man couldn’t help but sneered loudly while sitting on the carriage. sneeze.
Why do you sneeze?
Could it be that Qing'er is talking about me?
He grinned happily, raised the riding crop in his hand, and lightly slapped the horse's butt.
The horse moved its hooves and ran wildly on the road. ......
Yang Huazhong went to town to buy gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival but before he came back, Blacksmith Luo rushed into the courtyard gate of Yang Ruoqing's house.
"Third brother, third brother and sister, are you at home?"
When Blacksmith Luo's voice came in, Yang Ruoqing and Mrs. Sun were clearing away the dishes in the backyard.
Xiao An and a group of children ran over to report the news.
"Mom, sister, Uncle Luo came over to give Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. He brought many, many things..."
"Huh?"
Sun was surprised and happy, and glanced at Yang Ruoqing.
"The old Luo family is here to send three festival gifts!"
Sun said, and then happily ran to the front yard to greet her.
Here, Yang Ruoqing's face turned slightly red.
The so-called three etiquettes refer to the etiquette that she and Tangyazi had to go through during the process from engagement to marriage, including the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day.
Families in the village generally have to experience these three festivals from engagement to marriage.
After that, we start to discuss the date of getting married and enter the process of receiving the lottery.
Of course, if the situation changes and it is too late to celebrate these three festivals, then the gifts from the three festivals must be converted into money and given to the bride's family together with the lottery.
Last time during the Dragon Boat Festival, I caught up with Luo Fengtang to join the army.
But Blacksmith Luo was at home and still sent the Dragon Boat Festival gift to her home according to the custom of the village.
At this time, another Mid-Autumn Festival gift was sent.
Should we wait until the Chinese New Year to give out the last gifts, and then start the marriage process after the Chinese New Year?
Thinking of this, even for such a shameless person like her, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks burning.
Being with him for so long can be considered to be in love.
She and he have done all the kisses and hugs that lovers should have.
We even slept in the same bed, but we didn't do anything beyond the bottom line.
You are really going to get married. Once you are married, you should do some things naturally, right?
Thinking of this, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Nervous, excited, a little panicked, but more importantly, sweet and expectant...
"Sister, why are you standing here all alone and giggling? Brother-in-law is here, mother asked me to come I urge you to come over quickly!”
Xiao An, who is more than five years old, started to work as a microphone, but now he is very smooth.
Yang Ruoqing quickly gathered her thoughts and said to Xiao An: "Go and tell mother, I will come right away!"
Xiao An quickly ran back to the front yard to deliver the message.
Here, Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and patted her hot cheek, took a deep breath, and hurried towards the front hall.
In the front hall, Blacksmith Luo and Mr. Sun were drinking tea.
On the Eight Immortals table between the two of them, various gifts were piled up like a mountain.
In addition, there are two bamboo baskets placed on the stools beside the table.
The basket was covered with red cloth, covering the contents.
On the ground under the stool, bamboo baskets contained pork belly, grass carp, and a turtle...
Yang Ruoqing walked into the main room and was shocked by the small mountain of gifts in front of her.
"Uncle Luo, mother..."
She smiled a little shyly and called.
Blacksmith Luo smiled and nodded towards her.
Mrs. Sun stood up, pointed at the thing in front of her and said to her: "Look, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, your Uncle Luo and Tang Yazi actually sent so many gifts. This is certain. It will cost a lot of money..."
Hearing what Sun said, Luo Fengtang, who was putting on the newly bought monkey head mask on Xiao An, turned around.
He smiled respectfully at Mrs. Sun: "It didn't cost much, it was just snacks."
