Chapter 221 Full Moon Preparations
An Guoping looked at An Ning with tears in his eyes.
"sister---"
"Sister", I screamed so wronged that I died.
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Isn't this my first time? I don't understand. I'll just practice it a few times and it will be fine."
An Guoping was so frightened that he covered his head, shook his head firmly and said, "No!"
"Don't practice on me!"
An Guoping was like a wronged little daughter-in-law, and he reluctantly went to Lin Cuihua's side.
"Mom - please shave it for me - hey, why isn't my dad bald?"
At this time, An Guoping discovered that An Sancheng still had hair that was not too long on his head this year.
But no matter what, he has hair.
Lin Cuihua was like a max-level boss in Novice Village. No matter how low-key she was, she couldn't hide her temperament. She didn't look at An Guoping at all and said in a fluttering tone: "If you want to stay, just keep some."
An Guoping was even more shocked.
"Mom, then I..."
"No, the shortest part is bald and cannot be repaired."
When An Guoping heard this, he touched the top of his head and found that there was really a place where he could touch his scalp.
For a moment, his eyes became even more resentful.
An Ning was also quite embarrassed. She put down the scissors tentatively and moved backwards.
"I'm going to the toilet."
With a "swish", she ran away.
An Guoming in the room burst out laughing.
"Little brother, let me tell you, this is your most radiant moment, and An Ning has been scared away by you."
"Ouch——"
An Guoming screamed and moved his head. Lin Cuihua behind was dumbfounded. An Guoping's mood instantly improved.
An Guoming only felt a strip on the back of his head that was particularly cool.
He stretched out a hand and touched it tremblingly.
Bald.
"mom---"
"What the hell? Who asked you to move around? You deserve it."
Although Lin Cuihua feels guilty, there is not much of it.
This time it was better, she was more comfortable with her bald head.
This time, An Guoming couldn't get up, but An Sancheng on the side got up.
In the house, there are happy ones, sad ones, and ugly ones, each with its own attitude.
On the other side, An Ning ran away with a guilty conscience. She actually went to the toilet once, but after coming out, she did not enter the room. Instead, she leaned against the wall and played with a stone in boredom.
"It's not scientific. I've calculated it accurately, but it's still wrong."
"It affects my status too much."
"Hey!"
"Hey--murder!"
An Ning was frightened by Jiang Xia's "Hey" and threw the stone in his hand.
Jiang Xia jumped down and jumped off the wall.
After a while, he climbed up again and threw the stone in his hand to An Ning.
"Your weapons are returned to you."
"No, I'll leave you a souvenir."
An Ning didn't ask for it, Jiang Xia was joking, he threw it away and sat on the wall.
"What are you muttering about here?"
"Jiang Xia, today is February 2nd, have you cut your hair?"
Jiang Xia touched her head and said, "I've had it cut a long time ago, and I don't have an uncle."
"But today is February 2nd, and the dragon raises its head. Don't you want to raise your head?"
Jiang Xia bent down and looked at An Ning who raised his head.
"How come I didn't know you were so superstitious?"
"This is called doing as the Romans do, you know?"
Even if An Ning asked, she wouldn't be able to cut Jiang Xia's hair. Lin Cuihua could scold her to death.
She just wanted to learn something about cutting hair.
After An Ning said a few words, she stopped chatting with Jiang Xia. There were many things at home today.
"I'm leaving."
Jiang Xia watched An Ning enter the house and jumped off the wall. After taking three steps, he turned back and bent down to pick up the stone that An Ning said she would give him.
"It's over, I must be out of my mind."
"Woof!"
Rhubarb, who didn't know when he appeared, gave Jiang Xia great affirmation.
"You brat, you still know how to laugh at me!"
Jiang Xia chased Dahuang, one person and one dog, running happily.
An Ning's house is next door. After An Ning went in, everything in the house was almost done.
As soon as An Ning entered the house, he couldn't hold back his laughter. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "I feel like my home is a lot brighter."
As soon as she finished speaking, she received two murderous and resentful glances.
An Ning smiled happily and asked when she saw An Sancheng, "Why isn't my dad bald?"
An Sancheng touched his head in regret and said eloquently: "No way, I'll make your mother like you."
It was the first time for An Ning to see An Sancheng behave in such an unruly manner, and it was very interesting.
"Okay, hurry up and pack up, people are coming."
Lin Cuihua gave the order, and the resentful ones no longer dared to complain.
I took a broom to sweep the floor and tidied up my hair.
The house is also kept clean.
Just like what Lin Cuihua said, people will come soon.
The eldest uncle was the leader, followed by two sisters-in-law, and several aunts who were good at craftsmanship in the village.
Lin Cuihua welcomed everyone out enthusiastically, invited everyone into the house, poured water, brought melon seeds, candies, and sugar oranges, and asked everyone to take a rest first.
The people who came here also knew their propriety. After eating for a while, they washed their hands and started making red bean buns.
All the people gathered in the west room, a few people on the kang and a few under the kang.
Knead the dough, portion out the dough, roll out the dough, and make the buns.
The wrapped buns are white and round and placed together. They are steamed pot by pot in the big pot outside.
An Ning and An Guoping were each in charge of a stove pit and lighting the fire.
After a large pot of steamed buns was steamed, Lin Cuihua picked them out and called An Guoming and An Sancheng. They took red fuel and put a red dot on the bean buns.
This means a happy package.
Everyone who comes to the Full Moon Drinks tomorrow must get at least two.
On this day, An's chimney never stopped smoking.
While the fire was burning, An curiously touched the kang.
She felt that if she sprinkled some peppercorns on it, she could eat roasted An Ning.
None of the people who came to make buns today stayed to eat, they all said they were waiting for the full moon drink together.
Lin Cuihua knew that this was the custom in the village, so she gave in twice and let it go if she didn't stay.
The people who came to help with the work left, but Anjia couldn't have any leisure time.
There is a full moon party tomorrow and there are too many things that need to be done.
During the day, An Sancheng and several men from Uncle An's family set up two temporary cooking stoves and a shed in the yard of An's family.
All the places that need to be cleaned have been cleaned, and other tables, chairs, benches, food and drinks will all be arranged starting early tomorrow morning.
At night, An Ning lay under her body with three sets of quilts, giving her a feeling of sleeping on a kang.
It was dark the next day, around four o'clock, when An's house lights came on.
Jiang Xia's house next door also lit up, Jiang Xia was coming to An's house to work today.
Laboring is the general name given to people who come to help someone else's family during a wedding.
Early in the morning, Jiang Xia, An Guoming, An Guoqing, An Guoping, and the three brothers from the eldest uncle's family, in this village, go from home to home and go to the west. Every time they go to a house, they always have it in their hands when they come out.
Stools, tables, bowls and chopsticks, etc.
The full moon wine is about to begin.
