The half month of the Chinese New Year also goes by very quickly, and it’s Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

Tianshui Village does not eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival, and there is no lantern festival to watch now.

But the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also a very fun day for little ones to touch the green.

As the name suggests, touch means sneaking into the dark; Qing means green vegetables.

All in all, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I went to other people’s vegetable fields in the dark to steal other people’s vegetables.

The mode is somewhat similar to the vegetable-stealing game that later became popular all over the country. Maybe the game was inspired by this custom.

You cannot keep the stolen vegetables home overnight and eat them immediately that night, which means that you steal good luck and luck.

The family whose food was stolen cannot stop the children from stealing food, nor can they scold them.

He said that if he did this, the crops and vegetables in the field would not grow well this year.

However, this activity is generally only participated by children, and adults generally do not touch green.

During the day, Jinhuan followed her friends and walked around all the vegetable fields in the village to check out some of them first.

As soon as it got dark, Chaomei Chaosu and Qiuyue couldn't hold back their excitement and immediately shouted to Jinhuan at the door to go steal some sex.

Jinhuan climbed onto the basket and rushed to the family's vegetable patch with the other children.

As a result, we still found that most of the mature vegetables in the vegetable field had been pulled home, leaving only some ungrown vegetables and some wilted and defective vegetables.

The little kids didn't mind and stole whatever they saw. As for the quality of the food, it was not considered at all.

There are also some vegetables that have been poured with farmyard manure in advance!!!

Everyone knows about farmyard manure, right? It’s the waste product after humans and animals eat and digest food!

Fortunately, Jin Huan didn't get carried away by the excitement, otherwise even though she wasn't mysophobic, she would still collapse if caught.

In fact, I don’t blame the owner for being stingy. The staple food is coarse grains, melons and vegetables. I am afraid that someone will destroy all the vegetables by stealing vegetables, and the mother-in-law will definitely cry to death!

Jinhuan touched a green onion symbolically, and in the West Garden he pulled out a piece of garlic, pinched a handful of pea tips, and pulled out a green vegetable.

The rest of the time was spent following the large troops running around the village. Her five senses were so good that she could tell where the food was and what the food looked like even with her eyes closed.

When everyone was almost done, they swarmed to Jinhuan's house.

The reason is that Grandpa Xu told Jinhuan before he went out that he would use the vegetables they picked up to cook hot pot for them.

When we got home, Grandpa Xu had already prepared the soup base, using the remaining mutton and beef bones.

A Tai Chi mandarin duck casserole, half red soup and half white soup, one red and one white looks very appetizing.

The meat dishes are wild boar meat, bacon and pheasant meat specially sliced ​​by Grandpa Xu. The portions are not large, and the vegetables are just green vegetables that everyone has just stolen and washed.

The small coal stove was placed directly on the ground, with the casserole on the stand. A group of little children sat on small stools around the stove, eating hot pot lively under the dim candlelight. The atmosphere was really beautiful.

You take a bite from my bowl, and I take a bite of the food you prepared.

The little kids eat at the same table, and you and I fight for it, not to mention that Grandpa Xu also prepared three meat dishes. Although the portion is not much, it is indeed a rare delicacy for them all year round.

Aren't all the kids sweating profusely? I wonder if it's because they're hot or because they're in a hurry to get food?

After finishing eating, it was already nine o'clock. Grandpa Xu took Jinhuan and sent the children home one by one, and took a walk to eat.

When Xia Miao was sent home, her mother Li Fanghua spoke politely to Grandpa Xu.

"Sixth Ancestor, Xia Miao is ignorant and causing trouble for you, right?"

"No, the dolls had a midnight snack together at my place and came back late. Don't blame the dolls!"

"No, no!" Li Fanghua waved her hands quickly and pushed Xia Miao, "Second brother! Did you thank Taizuzu when you ate at Taizuzu's place?"

"Thank you, thank you!" Grandpa Xu quickly replied, "The doll has been sent back, and Xiao Yu'er and I will go back."

"Sixth Patriarch, walk slowly!"

"Taizu Zuman is leaving!"

Jinhuan stood aside and pretended to be a good girl, not saying a word, and it was not her turn to speak.

She looked over from the courtyard of Xia Miao's house and saw several kerosene lamps and candles burning in the main room of his house, and a half-grown boy sitting at the table writing.

It seems that this is the only junior high school student in the village, Xia Miao and Qiu He's eldest brother, Xu Chunsheng.

But it’s past nine o’clock now, and I’m still studying all day long. Isn’t this a bit much?

According to Jinhuan's understanding, there are very few subjects in school now, and the amount of study should not be large. Why are you still doing homework at this time?

Qiu He stood at the door of the main room, watching her eldest brother reading and writing with envy, not daring to go in and disturb him.

Xia Miao said last time that Chun Sheng cherished his books, so it was normal for Qiu He not to dare to go in.

Before Jin Huan and Master Xu had gone far, they heard Li Fanghua scolding Xia Miao in a low voice.

"Second brother, why didn't you take your sister with you when you went to Taizuzu for supper?"

"Mom, my little sister and my little aunt don't have a good relationship to begin with. How can I take my little sister there?" Xia Miao felt very aggrieved, so she might as well not go.

Qiu He interrupted at this time. She had already smelled his brother's strong fragrance, and felt that Xia Miao must have eaten delicious food at Jinhuan's house. With her petty and jealous temperament, how could she not complain.

"Second brother, I clearly called you when you went there, but you seemed like you didn't hear me!"

Xia Miao turned around and glanced at Qiu He, "Little sister! When I returned to the drying area after touching the green leaves, I clearly told you that I was going to my aunt's house and asked you to come back first!"

"Then you can't just run away after saying that!" Qiu He just wanted to find trouble.

Xia Miao couldn't bear Qiu He's logic and said angrily: "It's because you have a bad relationship with others. Why do you always blame me?"

"Mom, can you tell them to shut up? It's so noisy! I still want to read a book!" Chunsheng spoke at this time.

Li Fanghua immediately slapped Qiu He and Xia Miao on the backs of their heads, "Stop arguing, I'm not watching your brother study, so get out of here!"

Xia Miao had long been accustomed to his mother's attitude of only obeying his elder brother, and immediately went to squat in the yard with an expressionless face.

Qiu He was painfully slapped by her mother. She bit her lower lip and wanted to cry but didn't dare. Her heart was churning violently.

She was really jealous of Jin Huan. Even if she lost her parents, she still had an ancestor who was capable and loved her. He had everything he wanted and didn't need to share it with others.

It's not like she has only one mother without a father. Her mother's energy is divided into three parts. In fact, it is not an even three parts. Her mother loves her eldest brother the most, and his eldest brother holds the most weight in her mother's heart.

Her mother favored her eldest brother Chunsheng the most in terms of food and clothing, saying that Chunsheng should wear good clothes to go to school and not be looked down upon in school.

At home, her eldest brother eats the delicious food first, because studying requires nourishment for the brain, and the small portion left over can be shared equally between her and her second brother.

Her mother also spoke softly to her eldest brother, never making a sound, let alone hitting or scolding him.

Her mother also often told her and Xia Miao that the hope of the four of them lies in their eldest brother. Only if the eldest brother passes the exam can their family get ahead.

She also wanted to go to school, and she also wanted to be well-fed and clothed, but her mother said that neither she nor her second brother were good candidates for school. When the family was rich in two years, she would let them know a few and come back in two years.

Get to work.

She used to think that her mother still loved her very much, at least better than her second brother.

But now it seems that there is no difference between her and Xia Miao, and they are not as good as her eldest brother Chun Sheng.

Just in the past six months, Xia Miao has been playing very well with other babies outside, and Jin Huan also likes to play with Xia Miao, and Xia Miao never takes her with her.
