The first day of February is the Zhonghe Festival.
The second day of February is the Sheri Festival, which is also the birthday of Tu Tu Gong.
These last two days mean that the ground is thawing, the weather is getting warmer, the slack farming season is over, and it’s time to start working in the fields.
This is a significant day for people with land outside Chang'an City. It is also a very important day for people without land.
Li Ersao carried a basket and took Jiang Shengnan, who was also carrying a basket, out the door. They were going out for shopping.
Naturally, this festival means eating and drinking. According to Mother Li's words: "Buy some good meat, cook it well, and make it lively to welcome the beginning of the new year."
On this day, it is reasonable to say that officials should I came on my holiday, but Brother Li was not free today. He was on duty outside.
Li Erlang led Li Sanlang, Li Silang and several other children to clean the house at home, chop wood and carry water, and were very busy under the command of Li's mother and Li's sister-in-law.
Li Ersao and Jiang Shengnan spent two coppers each to get on the road carriage. After swaying for more than half an hour, they got off the carriage and arrived at the door of a rice and grain shop that neighbors said had the lowest grain prices.
“Katsuo, let’s buy food first. If the price is right, we’ll buy it and store it in the store. We’ll come back to get it when we’ve finished buying everything we need to buy.”
"Hey, I listen to my aunt."
Li Ersao was very satisfied with Jiang Shengnan's obedience, so she took the lead and went to the rice and grain shop.
Jiang Shengnan had no expression on his face, but he was muttering in his heart: "Listen to Auntie (Sister-in-law Li), I, the junior, will just follow you."
Bought After agreeing with the waiter in the shop to pick up the rice grain later, Li Ersao and Jiang Shengnan walked out of the rice grain shop and went to the meat stall with their baskets in hand.
Before she could pick out the meat, Sister-in-law Li was stopped in the street by someone shouting at her.
"Hey, are you from Dr. Li's family?"
Even though Jiang Shengnan has been married into the Li family for more than a year, she actually doesn't go out much. She knows all about the Li family's personal relationships. It's not exhaustive either.
So, she looked curiously at the woman opposite, who had already put on a peach-pink spring shirt before spring arrived, with a thin gold hairpin in her hair.
Li Ersao was stunned for a moment, and it took her two breaths before she responded to the woman's words: "Hey, my son-in-law is the pharmacist at the Herbal Hall, who is your wife?"
That woman Seeing that Sister-in-law Li didn't know who she was, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He directly took Sister-in-law Li's hand and went to the tea stall on the street.
"Wang Po, bring a pot of sweet soup."
When the sweet soup came, the woman poured a bowl each for Sister-in-law Li and Jiang Shengnan, and then poured a bowl for herself.
“Drink, Po Wang’s sweet soup is famous in this street.
Don’t be embarrassed, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Li Ersao said from She couldn't bear to take a sip of the sweet soup. She still looked at the woman with questioning eyes.
In this way, the woman hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Oh, you must have forgotten me.
Last autumn, my sister gave birth to a son, and I took my son Fugui to visit.
The child was greedy and choked on the dumpling. It happened that my brother-in-law’s house was on the street behind your herbal medicine hall.
If it hadn’t been for Dr. Li’s trick that day to save my family’s fortune. , I coughed up the dumplings, and I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like.
At that time, I also wanted to keep some money, but Dr. Li refused and told me not to let children eat the food that would choke their throats. You gave me a good warning.
You have forgotten that it was you, the little lady, who gave me a glass of water that day and gave me a shock. "
The woman smiled gratefully at Jiang Shengnan and said this.
When the woman said this, not only Li Ersao had an impression, but also Jiang Shengnan vaguely remembered it. At this time, Sister-in-law Li realized that the doctor Li the woman was talking about was not Li’s father and brother Li, but Li Sanniang!
“You are talking about the wrinkles on the corners of the mouth! The little boy? "Jiang Shengnan clapped his hands together, making a "pop" sound, and asked the woman.
"Yes, that's right. My wealthy family has a black mole on the left corner of his mouth."
The man answered the number, and the atmosphere on the table became lively. Only then did Jiang Shengnan dare to reach out to hold the table. The sweet soup was served to drink. She was indeed thirsty along the way.
“Originally I was thinking of going to my sister’s house to find out. In the past few days, the city has been talking about the princess’s son who was hanged, and I was still worried. Is there anything wrong with Dr. Li?
It’s a coincidence that I met you. Is Dr. Li okay?” While buying meat, I would always meet someone to ask how Li Sanniang was doing.
She wonders why no one came to ask, as Li Sanniang's family members, they are still worried, but are they okay?
Jiang Shengnan saw that there was something wrong with Sister-in-law Li's face, and the woman opposite her face became a little anxious when she never got an answer.
“Ouch, was Dr. Li injured by that gangster?”
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li still didn’t answer, Jiang Shengnan quickly agreed to the woman’s words: “No, no, my sister-in-law is fine. , not hurt."
After hearing this, the woman stroked her chest and said, "That's good, that's good. A good doctor like Dr. Li shouldn't be hurt by that bad guy. Fortunately, the officials caught the criminal and sentenced him
Okay, that's good. ”
After drinking the sweet soup and saying some words, the woman got up and left.
After the woman left, she didn’t drink a mouthful of sweet soup, and all the soup in the bowl was gone. Sister-in-law Li, who was so cold, couldn't pretend any longer, stood up with a dark face, and said without looking back: "Hurry up, if you waste your time, who knows whether there will be any good meat at Butcher Zhu. ”
Jiang Shengnan felt a little strange, but she couldn’t say what was strange, but she already knew how to get along with Sister-in-law Li. She just got up quickly and said yes, and followed Sister-in-law Li to the butcher’s stall.
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Ersao and Jiang Shengnan's baskets were full of things. Then they went to the rice and grain shop to get grain bags, called a donkey cart on the roadside, and headed back to Li's house
Back home, Li Sanniang had already arrived with Lu Zhuer, Qiuxiang and Lao Shi. Li Sanniang also bought a lot of food.
As soon as Jiang Shengnan saw Li Sanniang, he thought about the woman he met on the street today.
She glanced vaguely at the back of Sister-in-law Li, who had already entered the kitchen with a basket, and then looked at Li Sanniang, who was following Sister-in-law Li and helping to pick beans. After thinking about it in her mind, she still did not say anything. Something.
However, after having lunch, Jiang Shengnan still found time to find Sister-in-law Li alone and told Sister-in-law Li what happened today when she and Sister-in-law Li went out shopping and met the woman on the street.
"Auntie, I always feel that there is something wrong with the way my second aunt is acting, as if she is very unhappy.
I didn't dare to ask at that time, so I finally found time to talk to my mother-in-law. ”
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li have been getting along for more than ten years. After listening to what Jiang Shengnan said, how could she not imagine what Sister-in-law Li was thinking at that time?
It’s just that Sister-in-law Li felt that her family was I feel very unhappy and dissatisfied because of Li Sanniang's troubles again.

======== =============
When Dezong (Li Shi [kuò]) of the Tang Dynasty was in power, Li Mi wrote a letter requesting that the obscurity of the first lunar month should be abolished and the first day of the second lunar month should be designated as the Zhonghe Festival to express his intention to the people of the world.
Emperor Dezong adopted Li Mi's opinion.
Wang Qishu said in the book "Shuicao Qingxia Lu": "The first day of February, commonly known as the Zhonghe Festival, started in Li Mi of the Tang Dynasty. Sun cakes were sold in the market to worship the Sun Star Lord."
Later, people merged the birthday of the Earth God (She Day) with this festival, and the date was changed to February 2nd.
At the same time, since the time of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhonghe Festival has absorbed the activities of the Spring Equinox, so the activities of this festival have become richer.
