Chapter 424 Family Love
The time is approaching the Cold Food Festival, and after the Cold Food Festival is the Qingming Festival. According to this, all officials in the Tang Dynasty will have a seven-day holiday.
From top to bottom, there are holidays everywhere.
The gentlemen of the academy where Li Sanlang and Xiao Shiro were located were also given a holiday.
Brother Li should also take a vacation, but after all, he is a soldier protecting the city, and at this special juncture, he cannot take a vacation at this time, but he should save it for a future vacation.
The medical hall where Li Sanniang was on duty naturally gave everyone a holiday.
On the two days of Cold Food and Tomb Sweeping Day, there are no people on duty in the medical clinic, so it will be closed directly.
Because at this time, people attach great importance to sweeping the tombs and paying homage to their ancestors.
It can be said that people will hate an unfilial person more than a person who commits murder and arson.
However, in the medical hall, people have been arranged to take turns from the third day onwards, and Li Sanniang was on duty on the fourth day, which is not bad.
The happiest thing about the Li family today is that Li Dalang also took a vacation and came back from the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
Li Dalang returned to the Li family with only a small baggage on his back. In just a few months, he still looked the same, but he already had a murderous spirit.
Doctors are most sensitive to murderous intent. For someone with sensitive senses like Li Sanniang, this invisible thing is just as obvious as saying in front of her eyes: "Li Dalang has killed someone before."
< br>Li Sanniang was very surprised. She really didn't understand. Li Dalang was just a new soldier who had only been in the military camp for a few months with some martial arts. Why did he kill someone before he even went to the battlefield?
Father Li and Brother Li looked at each other, and they also saw the difference between Li Dalang.
Although Sister-in-law Li was happy that Li Dalang was back home, she was still very distressed in her heart.
Sister-in-law Li knows best why Li Dalang became like this. Coming from a family of warriors, Sister-in-law Li has seen many changes in her brother after he entered the military camp. Therefore, Li Dalang must have experienced a thrilling thing. Only later will this change occur.
"Hurry into the house, grandma has made your favorite soup cake."
Luzhu'er, a little person, can't see the change in Li Dalang's body, still walking with short legs , followed by Xiao Huang, who looked like an adult dog, arrived in front of Li Dalang, smiled at Brother Li and winked: "Brother, brother, you are home! Zhu'er misses brother."
Li Dalang After seeing Li's father, Li Erxiong and Li Sanniang's surprise at his change, and not knowing what to say to break the dullness, he saw Lu Zhu'er running towards him, and after hearing Lu Zhu'er's words, suddenly It felt like the ice shell on my body had been shattered.
Li Dalang picked up Lu Zhu'er, let her sit in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Zhu'er misses your elder brother so much?"
Luzhu'er stretched out her palm to measure the distance. , saying: "I miss my eldest brother so much."
Li Sanniang interjected at this time: "Oh my, doesn't Pearl miss my grandma the most?
Don't Zhu'er Don’t you miss Grandma?
Grandma is so sad.”
Li Sanniang pretended to cry, then looked at Lu Zhu'er anxiously and said, "Zhu'er also misses grandma. She misses everything."
At this time, Li's mother felt sorry for Li Dalang in the military camp. Li Sanniang was suffering. Seeing that Li Sanniang was deliberately teasing the child, she rolled her eyes at Li Sanniang.
Then, the whole family entered the main room. Li Erlang, Li Sanlang and Xiao Silang were also talking around Li Dalang.
Especially Koushiro. Although he is one year older, he is the youngest in the family besides Luzhuer and Kogoro. Li Erlang and Li Sanlang usually give in to him, so this makes him Although he is a year older, his temperament has not changed much and he is still like a child.
"Brother, eldest brother, don't just hug Luzhu'er, hug me too, I miss you too. Shiro misses him the most, even more than Luzhu'er."
Lu Zhu'er was listening, but she didn't want to anymore, and quickly said to Brother Li: "Brother, I miss my eldest brother more than my fourth brother, and Lu Zhu'er misses my eldest brother the most."
Brother Li's mouth was filled with joy. He grinned up to his ears, just watching the two children competing for his favor.
The jokes between the two children reduced the shadow in Li Dalang's heart a lot, and also dissipated the strange feeling caused by him being away from home for several months.
After Li Dalang ate the soup cake made by Mrs. Li, he was first led by Lu Zhuer to see the little chickens raised in a circle in the corner of the yard. "Brother, grandma said, wait until the chickens grow up." , you can lay chickens, and you can eat chickens for free in the future.”
After watching the chickens, Xiao Silang took Li Dalang to see his treasure box, which contained the treasures he had saved over the past few months. , all the beautiful stones, wooden toys, and picture albums bought from the bookstore must be shared with Brother Li, who has been away from home for several months and is the best to him.
Finally, the most amazing thing about Koshiro came, he took Kogoro out.
"Brother, look, Xiaowu has grown a lot and is chubby." Li Dalang hurried forward to catch Xiaoshiro, fearing that Xiaoshiro would not be able to hold him firmly and would drop Xiaogoro again.
In this way, Li Dalang spent the entire afternoon communicating with his brothers and sisters as soon as he returned home. After dinner, he went to his yard.
Sure enough, Brother Li, Sister-in-law Li and Li Erlang were waiting in the yard.
The family sat around the round table, with two plates of snacks and a pot of tea, talking until midnight.
Finally, Brother Li said: "Just let your grandma know about this matter, I will tell you tomorrow.
As for the other people in the family, there is no need to tell them No need to let them follow Xuan Xin.”
“Hey, I know, Aye, don’t worry.”
Li Dalang and Li Erlang returned to their own yard together.
The next day was the Cold Food Festival. The whole family followed Father Li to worship their ancestors before going to have breakfast.
For breakfast, I eat noodles that have been prepared before, with pickles. During these days, I have to avoid fire and eat cold food.
Because the graves of Li’s father’s parents and Brother Li’s biological father are not in Chang’an, the activity of sweeping the graves is no longer available.
After everything was done, Mother Li directed the elder brother Li and the second brother Li to put the things into the basket, and the whole family was preparing to go to Wujia Village, the second sister-in-law's natal home outside Chang'an City.
In addition to going on a holiday outing this time, I also want to take Kogoro, who is more than nine months old, back to show his grandparents.
Wu Qiaolan and Baoya also packed their things and wanted to follow them back to the village to pay their respects.
Li Sanniang also found some kites she bought earlier, "When I get to my second aunt's house, I will take Lu Zhu'er to fly the kites."
Luzhu'er looks gorgeous. The colorful kite made to look like a wild goose nodded happily.
"Auntie, what should Xiao Huang do?
We are all gone, only Xiao Huang is at home."
Finally, it was very easy to handle. Li Dalang found a basket and put Xiao Huang in it, took the carriage and took him away together.
After greeting the old doctor Liang and the Shaoyang boy in the backyard, the Li family and Wu Qiaolan and her daughter went out and rushed out of the city.
There are many pedestrians on the road, all going to the countryside to sweep graves or go for an outing.
By the time everyone in the Li family arrived at Wujiacun, it was almost lunch time.
Everyone in the Li family received a warm greeting from the Wu family. They ate cold porridge at the Wu family and chatted for a while. Then Li Sanniang took Luzhu'er out with the kite and the four little ones.
The countryside is a big place, and Xiao Huang has never been to such a spacious place. He ran happily, and when he ran far away, he would stop and wait for Lu Zhuer, who was chasing behind him.
Li Sanniang didn't know how to fly a kite. In the end, she sat on a stone by the roadside and watched the four little ones playing with Luzhu'er and Xiao Huang.
The spring breeze blows on my face, which is beautiful.
Cold Food Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, falls on the 105th day after the winter solstice in the lunar calendar and one or two days before Qingming Festival.
Historically, the Cold Food and Tomb Sweeping Festivals were similar, and over time, they became one festival. "Tang Huiyao·Volume 82·Holiday" clearly records: "On February 11, the 24th year of Kaiyuan Dynasty (Kaiyuan Dynasty), the edict was: Cold food, Qingming Festival, four days as holiday.
On February 15, the thirteenth year of the Dali calendar, the edict reads: From now on, cold food will be observed during Qingming Festival, and there will be a five-day holiday.
On March 9, the sixth year of Zhiyuan, the edict was issued: Cold food should be eaten during the Qingming Festival, and it should be on the first day of the first lunar month, with three days before and after. "
Therefore, "Chinese Traditional Culture Grand View" records: "Roughly in the Tang Dynasty, the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival were combined into one. ”
