Chapter 461 Moving (1/2)
The day of moving is approaching.
The family is very busy every day, and my mother invited several aunts to help.
Making steamed cakes.
Eight-treasure rice, etc.
The adults are very busy, and the children are also having a lot of fun.
"Then please wait a moment."
Li Yunpeng smiled and took out two small red envelopes on the spot: "I am just running errands. Today I come to give money on behalf of the leader."
The children want to have fun, and the adults want to get some blessings. After all, who doesn't want to be as rich as Li Duoyu on the island now?
"Duoyu, good luck in moving."
"Chief Li, thank you for your hard work."
"Come, the auspicious time has come."
He was holding a landscape painting wall clock with glass, which would light up when plugged in. There was no electronic version in those days, and there was a big clock embedded in it.
The auspicious time for moving is just like raising a beam. For them, the islanders must move at high tide, and it is best to move to the new home when the tide is at its highest point.
But when he learned that he was originally arranged to carry a lantern, he couldn't carry a lantern after falling like this.
Early in the morning, the fire starter had already started to work, and all kinds of seafood were ready.
"Mom, don't protect him."
After everyone was done.
It was half past ten on the evening of the 24th.
There were no leftovers, and some people even brought lunch boxes to take some back to their families.
"Why don't we set up a few more tables at the village committee? There just happens to be a ready-made stove there."
My uncle and his family hung the landscape painting in the center of the hall.
Zhang Jinsha said: "Everyone from the village committee will come, and if you include their families, there will be about 40 people."
A group of people could only stand there and wait until Chen Wenchao shouted at the pier: "The water is rising, it's the highest, and you can enter."
Only the two children of Li Shuguang's family could carry the lanterns. After learning that there were red envelopes for carrying lanterns, the fat boy burst into tears.
Seeing the little fat boy being beaten, Chen Huiying felt very distressed and hurried over to protect him, but unexpectedly, Li Yaoguo suddenly said something that made Chen Huiying laugh.
It was still not the highest point of the tide. At this time, they still couldn't enter the door, and those who carried things couldn't fall to the ground.
The uncle also said: "People in the village who have boats and fishermen should come. If they bring their families, there will be at least 20 tables."
After hearing that there were red envelopes to be received, the little fat boy stopped crying instantly, but when he opened his mouth to smile, Li Duoyu found that he had lost one of his front teeth.
The eldest brother was holding a bamboo pole tied with a red rope, which meant rising step by step.
Li Duoyu smiled helplessly.
The main point is that the quantity is large and full, and the most important thing is to eat well.
Vegetables fried with lard.
If nothing unexpected happened, there was still an accident. The little fat boy slipped into the puddle and scratched his skin.
"I won't dare to do it again."
Li Haoran wanted to cover his mouth, but it was too late. His second brother Li Yaoguo asked a few simple questions.
Fortunately, Manager An didn't come today, otherwise, the scene would be lively today.
涓€鈲涢浂.浜屼簲板?涓€锲涢浂.浜屼簲板
Xiaoying went to spread the bed sheets.
One person sat on the car, and the other pulled the rope. It was very exciting, especially like to go down from the slope.
After saying that, he handed over two red envelopes.
But it happened that Xiao Tutu learned it and kept shouting: "Tiger Aunt is so fierce, so fierce."
To be honest, Li Duoyu was really flattered. Although the leader didn't come, the share money came.
Chen Wenchao scratched his head: "There are still many in the fish cages, including grouper, lobster and salted fish, all of which are suitable as main dishes."
As a result, during the reception, it was discovered that Zhao Jialu had brought his wife with him, and with him came Chen Yuansu, who was dressed simply.
"As soon as you enter the four corners of the wealth gate, pearls and agates are in the center; two dragons on the left come to grab treasures, and the phoenix on the right comes to greet the sun."
After all the things were done, the east was already light, but the ceremony was not over yet. On the contrary, for him, this was just the beginning.
"No, he is in the fifth grade and will soon go to junior high school. He is not a child at all."
As soon as these words came out.
"With your feet set on the land of wealth, the whole family will be happy; the house is full of gold and jade, and the blessings of wealth and longevity will continue."
"It's possible, but there will definitely not be enough fire. In the past, Duoyu helped with this kind of thing. Today, he is so tired. We can't let him cook again."
Li Duoyu has been very busy these two days. After buying things in Rongcheng, he has to go to the county town to buy bunk beds, various cabinets and new chairs, as well as quilts and sheets, all of which have to be replaced with new ones.
The uncle frowned and said, "There are too many people. If we put together the yard of Duoyu's new house and the yard of our old house, there will be at most 20 tables, which is not enough for everyone to eat together."
In fact, they counted a lot of people less. Those who came to the housewarming banquet were not only from Dandan Island.
"This kid, why can't he scold anyone else, but he dared to scold my mother. If I don't teach him a lesson, what will happen in the future."
Next.
When the team arrived at the door of the new house.
Li Duoyu had to worship the God of Heaven first.
"Tiger Auntie, she's getting more and more ferocious."
It was just the housewarming party.
But just when they started counting, they found that the number of people had seriously exceeded the limit.
Li Duoyu had met this man a few times. He often followed behind Secretary Huang Qingfeng. He should be his little follower. His name seemed to be Li Yunpeng.
This dish will be snapped up instantly once it comes up. Those who are slow can only eat the fried pork skin that others have left.
"I want to carry a lantern, too."
The second brother carried a basket full of things for worship, and the little fat boy carried a bamboo stool and followed him with a smile on his face.
Under the leadership of his mother, Li Duoyu had to follow Zhou Xiaoying and hold the sleeping little Tutu to the Tianhou Temple to burn incense and pray for peace and success.
So, this slightly rebellious little fat boy was beaten several times by his father with a thin bamboo stick. Not only did he cry loudly in pain, but he also had to stand for more than an hour.
At this time, someone lit straw at the door, and everyone had to carry things and cross over. It is said that this can burn away bad luck.
With the sound of firecrackers, the housewarming ceremony officially began. Li Duoyu carried a basket of rice with red paper on it.
And the more rice you carry, the better. The most important thing is to be stable. In the process of going to the new home, you can't fall or spill it, which means that money will not flow out.
Li Duoyu, who was so tired that he looked unrecognizable, wanted to curse: "Fuck you, can't you see I'm almost dead from exhaustion?"
Standing in the corner is fine, Li Haoran is not afraid, what he likes most in school is to be kicked out by the teacher to stand in the corner, so that he doesn't have to attend classes.
At about noon, someone called him back to eat, but Li Duoyu always felt that someone else would come.
"Don't rush me."
Sister Shuihua carried the steamed cake, Xiaoying carried the broom and dustpan, and little Tutu was held in the arms of A Niang.
Dad carried the water, and he also couldn't spill it, carrying water is a technical job, fortunately Dad used to carry oysters, and his shoulders were very stable.
Li Duoyu could only put the money away: "It just so happens that the meal has already started, Chief Li, I will arrange a seat for you."
Li Duoyu smiled and suddenly said: "You have been playing for more than a week, and it is almost time to concentrate. Your aunt will be back soon. She will not go anywhere during the winter vacation. She will just help someone with homework."
"I can't help it. The leader has given me a lot of tasks. I have a lot of places to run today."
Li Yaoguo said: "Relatives from Chenjia Village may also come. Their village council and village party secretary have also said they want to attend."
When Li Duoyu moved, many villagers did not sleep and all ran to the village director's house to watch.
"I think it's okay, but suddenly there are so many more tables, and we don't have enough seafood to prepare."
The little fat man said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Uncle, don't tell my father. If he knows that my front teeth are broken, he will definitely beat me to death."
Li Duoyu, exhausted, smiled bitterly: "No, it's just that the New Year is approaching, and I dare not trouble everyone."
And often a table of dishes is almost finished, and the side is already surrounded by villagers waiting to be served.
Even though the moving team was moving very slowly, it was only about 200 meters to the new home.
"Why not spend some money and invite Lao Yang from the restaurant to come over? That way, we will have enough manpower."
Then, they had to worship the God of the Land. It happened that this day was the day to send off the God of Wealth, so they had to worship the God of Wealth as well, and burn a lot of paper money and carriages to send the God of Wealth back to heaven to report.
"Duoyu, you didn't notify me about such a big event as moving. If someone hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't have known you were moving today."
"Pour rice, pour water, and make a new bed."
"Where did your front teeth go?"
Although the uncle was unwilling, he had to pay for it obediently. He was the only uncle on their side, so he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Chen Huiying couldn't help laughing: "Little kid, no need to bother with him."
Li Yunpeng sighed: "I also want to eat the seafood from your Dandan Island, but I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."
In this era, when children get hurt while playing, they will not be comforted immediately, but may be scolded and punished.
Pork must be available, because it is the most important thing for the stomach, and Lao Yang is best at frying pork belly.
It must be sent by the uncle, because there is a custom here that the uncle of the in-laws is the most important, so when giving gifts, the most expensive things must be given.
"The leaders didn't come to dinner, how can I accept money?"
The tide has risen by half.
Who leaked the news? How come even Secretary Chen, Director Liu, and Zhao Jialu knew about this.
At the same time, firecrackers were also lit.
Seeing him crying pitifully, Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Your father scared you. Go and help move the chairs, and you will still get a red envelope."
After Chen Yuansu simply greeted him, he chatted with Secretary Chen and Director Liu, and even talked about cooperation.
Li Duoyu, who was praying in various ways, hurried to the dock to greet them after hearing the news.
"People from the dock will definitely come, and people from the end of the village and the waist. They have also received a lot of care from Duoyu in the past two years, so it is estimated that there will be no small number of people coming."
Li Duoyu rushed back home as soon as possible and moved out two boxes of the best quality dried oysters and dried fish.
Sure enough, a metal boat with the fishery administration printed on it slowly approached the shore, and a young man of the same age as Li Duoyu came down from it.
Because on the bamboo stool, like the two small lanterns in the front, there was a small red envelope tied with a red rope.
The banquets of this era were not particularly particular. At this time, the trend of comparison had not yet formed, and it was not necessary for every table to have high-end ingredients such as grouper and lobster.
When Li Duoyu saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Chief Li, how come you have time to come to our Dandan Island today?"
"Eat faster, it's our turn."
Before the Chinese New Year, Li Haoran had a new toy. Old Li got four rollers from somewhere and made a scooter for them.
All the aunts and uncles came, and the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard.
Li Duoyu frowned. He originally just wanted to have a simple housewarming party and invite some relatives and friends.
Because Li Duoyu is the village director, he has a good relationship with many people, and many people came to the housewarming party.
After disinfecting at Defa and applying red medicine, Li Haoran wanted to continue playing, but he didn't expect that the fun four-wheeled scooter had been confiscated by his grandma.
Zhao Jialu came over and put his right hand around Li Duoyu's shoulders and neck: "It's not easy to come to your place. If you are free these two days, take me fishing."
At the front of the team, two boys were holding bamboo red lanterns, and the second one was his uncle Chen Dongqing.
"The God of Wealth and the God of War are here, and the Eight Immortals are busy offering treasures; all the gods of good fortune are here to protect us, and the happy days will last forever."
"When I fell before, it was almost falling, and then I accidentally swallowed it when I was crying just now."
Li Duoyu looked old-fashioned, but for the villagers, this thing was very face-saving, and this thing could not be given by the uncle and the third uncle even if they wanted to.
After the housewarming ceremony, he could take the red envelope away.
"You are leaving so soon, let's have a meal together."
This is used to post the list of people who congratulate. Li Yaoguo, the uncle, the third uncle, Zhang Jinsha and others were calculating in the hall how many people came to the housewarming banquet and how many tables of banquets to prepare.
In the middle of the hall of the new house was a long red paper, with the four words "Congratulations on the housewarming" written on the top with a brush.
Li Yunpeng sighed and said, "Director Li, please don't make things difficult for me. Our leader said that if you don't accept it, it means that I haven't done my job well."
The freshly slaughtered seafood was steamed in the steamer.
"Xiao Chao is still well prepared, so the problem of ingredients is solved."
After hearing this, the fat boy was struck by lightning, and felt that it would be better to let his father beat him to death. He even wanted to fall again, and it would be best if his right hand was injured so that he couldn't do his homework.
Since there were so many people attending the banquet, and everyone hadn't lived a good life for a few years, often a dish was swept away as soon as it was served.
For Li Duoyu, moving to a new home is much more tiring than collecting kelp. There are a lot of things as small as sesame seeds, and there are all kinds of worship.
Rice steamed in a wooden barrel.
The lips are still swollen like sausages, and the whole body is still dirty.
Unexpectedly, the villagers gave so much face that they all came to help. What gave Li Duoyu the most headache was.
When he arrived at the hall, A Niang was muttering there.
Li Duoyu poured the rice he carried into the new rice jar, and the same thing happened to his father, who had to pour the water into the water jar.
Li Yunpeng did not refuse to accept it. Li Duoyu said it was for him, but he knew very well who it was for.
Secretary Chen of the town committee and Director Liu of the Qingkou Wharf Processing Plant came together without knowing who told them.
"If you keep urging us, we'll have to drink slowly."
After having a meal with Secretary Chen, Director Liu, Chen Yuansu and others, Li Duoyu chatted about the Queen of Heaven.
He did not care whether he had entertained them well or not, and ran back to the new house to sleep, because he was really tired. (End of this chapter)
