The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 233

When everyone was eagerly discussing "Zhige", the troupe began to sing on the stage, and it happened to be "Zhige".

The person who arranged the theater troupe this year was Bai. He was not as busy as the head of the house on weekdays. He read scripts and listened to more plays. "Zhigeer" was just started to be sung in Liaotai County.

In the past, when watching the theater, the young clansmen always deserted and made small moves behind. After singing "Zhigeer" this year, no matter if they were men or brothers, they were all attracted by the plot on stage.

With the same script, different troupes produced different plays. Those who have watched "Zhi Geer" also watched intently, and cheers came from the audience from time to time.

"Zhi Ge Er" by this troupe is specially rehearsed for the New Year, festivals, and birthday celebrations of rich families.

Today's "Zhigeer" was unanimously approved by the Cheng family, and the troupe left the Cheng family with a generous reward.

The New Year’s Eve dinner in Liaotai County also starts in Shenshizhong in the afternoon. The kitchen brings a plate of dishes from the kitchen to the small courtyard of the ancestors. There are eight cold dishes, sixteen hot dishes, and eight snacks. The plates were carefully arranged, and the table was filled to the brim, which was several times richer than the Lin family's New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner is also carefully eaten. During such a long period of time from Shenshizhong to the evening, when the dishes are cold, the servants will immediately replace them with the hot dishes that the kitchen has been preparing.

The New Year’s Eve dinner in Liaotai County is very different from that in Lishui County. In Lishui County, the younger generation toasts the elders at the New Year’s Eve dinner, but the younger generation cannot toast to the elders at the New Year’s Eve dinner in Liaotai County, because the younger generation must drink first. It is also necessary to start at a young age and drink from childhood to adulthood.

In addition, the Cheng family's rule is that children under the age of 14 start drinking alcohol, and those under the age of 14 cannot drink at the New Year's Eve dinner.

The Cheng family believes that children can be independent at the age of 14, and they can be regarded as half adults. They are also the pillars of the family and have to show up at the New Year's Eve dinner.

For example, there are more than 100 members of the Cheng family who came back this year, most of them are over 14 years old, there are more than 70 people, regardless of whether they are brothers or men, they must say auspicious words when drinking.

At this time, if you meet a clansman who likes this kind of excitement and wants to stand out, drink a glass of wine and have to say a long list of words in the crowd. Every table goes around, and it takes a lot of time for one person. The time has come to Xu time.

After the ancestors drank, the sky darkened. The servants lit the lanterns around the shed, and they quickly put away the plates and dishes on the table. The Cheng family's New Year's Eve dinner was considered finished.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone still has to watch the New Year’s Eve together. At this time, they will be more free. Young people sit in twos and play chess and cards together. Cheng Adie and his age chat about business together, and the older ones don’t care anymore. For things, just talk about the children and grandchildren in the family, and form a team to play Go and chess.

With all kinds of chess and cards this year, the Cheng family felt that the time to watch the New Year passed so quickly, and it was midnight in a blink of an eye.

The dumplings were cooked in the kitchen and sent to the yard of the ancestors. The chess and cards on the table were put away and a plate of dumplings and dipping sauces was placed.

Clean copper plates, silver peanuts, and golden beans are wrapped in the white and fat dumplings as prizes, and whoever is lucky can eat them.

Because of the resort, Cheng Jinyang and Lin Xiazhi have been in a lot of contact recently, and they ate dumplings for the last meal. He is not the eldest son, so he doesn't have to eat with his father at the same table as his elders. He simply brought his husband, Mrs. Ding, to Cheng Wenliu Their table.

After the ancestor picked up the dumplings, Lin Xiazhi and the others also started to chopsticks. He picked up a dumpling and dipped it in the dipping sauce and bit it down. There was a "crack" sound, and Lin Xiazhi's expression froze instantly.

It was obvious that he had bitten into the dumpling, and the bite just now almost broke his teeth.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Wenliu wanted to laugh and felt distressed: "Brother Xia, are your teeth alright?"

"What did you eat?" Cheng Jinyang who was sitting next to him looked at Lin Xiazhi with great interest.

The people at the same table also looked at Lin Xiazhi, and saw that he spit out a copper plate with fillings from his mouth, and dropped it into a small bowl filled with clear water with a "plop".

The dumplings are placed in the center of the table. Everyone has two plates and a small bowl in front of them. One of the two plates is filled with dipping materials, and the other is empty, which can be used to put dumplings. The small bowl is filled with clean water.

Before, Lin Xiazhi thought that this small bowl was for rinsing everyone's mouths, but he never thought that the function of this bowl of clear water was actually to wash the vomited hair.

I thought it would be all right to eat a copper coin, but Lin Xiazhi ate two good dumplings in a row, and gradually let go of his guard, but after eating the four dumplings he picked up, the other side of the tooth chattered again. Boom.

When I spat it out, it turned out to be golden beans!There were only ten golden beans in total, but Lin Xiazhi was able to eat one, which shows how lucky he is.

"Good news, good news. It seems that our villa will be able to make money when we start construction after the new year." Cheng Jinyang smiled happily.

Cheng Jinyang's husband, Lang Ding, also ate a silver peanut and a copper plate in the dumpling after a while, and Cheng Jinyang was happier than himself when he got the lottery.

Lin Xiazhi's luck has not yet come to an end, he ate a total of twelve dumplings, the first dumpling got a copper coin, the fourth dumpling got a golden bean, the No. 11 dumpling got another copper coin, and the No. 12 dumpling I ate silver peanuts.

One golden bean, one silver peanut, two copper plates, gold, silver and copper are complete.

After a meal, at Lin Xiazhi and his table, only Lin Xiazhi and Ding Shi got the prize, and none of the others got it.

Everyone is saying that Lin Xiazhi and Ding's luck is good, and the family will definitely have more children and more children this year.

Cheng Jinyang and Cheng Wenliu didn't get a single lottery, so they were happy too. Anyway, husband and wife are one, and Husband eats the same as them.

After eating the dumplings, the Cheng family's main house started to set off fireworks. The colorful fireworks were very eye-catching in the dark night, illuminating the people under the fireworks.

This is Lin Xiazhi's first time watching fireworks after traveling. Fireworks are not ordinary things. It doesn't matter if you can't buy them. The price is also very expensive. The fireworks in just half a quarter of an hour cost hundreds of taels of silver. It is not a super wealthy family. rise.

After the fireworks, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and the old year came to an end in the deafening firecrackers, and the new year is about to begin.

Everyone in the Cheng family paid New Year's greetings to their ancestors and left their yards to go back to rest. They will get up early tomorrow to worship their ancestors.

After returning to his small courtyard to wash up and go to bed, Cheng Wenliu turned sideways to look at Lin Xiazhi.

"Brother Xia, this year is our first year, it's great to have you by my side." Cheng Wenliu kissed Lin Xiazhi, "I wonder if we will have a lovely child by this time next year."

Lin Xiazhi yawned: "Even if I have a baby, it will either be in my belly, or a milk baby who can only cry and sleep."

Originally, Cheng Wenliu was still thinking about what would happen to the two of them after having a child, but after hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, he shook his head and let the imagination out of his mind: "When the child cries, you have to hug him and comfort him, and then I will still be with the child." Let's fight for favor, let's have children later."

"You don't care about your own child, just leave it to me to take care of?" Lin Xiazhi gave him a blank look.

"I didn't mean that either."

……

The Cheng family's ancestral grave is on the mountain next to their main house. The Cheng family got up at dawn and gathered at the foot of the mountain, waiting to set off to worship their ancestors.

The big family has a large population and complicated affairs. As the head husband, the head of the family, Husband, didn't sleep for two hours last night, and got up early to arrange various matters.

The old ancestor took the lead, followed by the returning members of the Cheng family, followed by a large group of servants, and the group walked to the ancestral grave in a mighty manner.

Lin Xiazhi looked at so many people in the Cheng family, and wondered whether the Lin family would become such a big family after a hundred years of development.

The process of worshiping the ancestors was long and boring, and the respect for the ancestors supported everyone to persevere to the end without showing the fatigue of lack of sleep.

They went out at dawn, and it was not until lunch time that everyone returned to the main house of the Cheng family. The servants in the house had already served hot meals for the master to enjoy.

After a hasty lunch, those who want to go back to catch up on sleep go back to their yards, and those who still have the energy to play find a place to have fun at home. On the first day of the new year, they are not allowed to go out except to worship their ancestors.

Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu chatted for a long time last night, and went back to the house after lunch to catch up on sleep.

When Cheng Jinyang approached him with his complete construction plan for the holiday villa, he was stymied behind closed doors, and Cheng Ping had to tell Cheng Wenliu to go find him after he woke up.

After sleeping for an hour and a half, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu got up from the bed. Knowing that Cheng Jinyang had come to see them, they quickly washed up and went out.

Cheng Jinyang's holiday villa construction schedule is more than double that of Lin Xiazhi's at the beginning. It mentions the location of the villa, the start and completion time of each area, and the opening time.

"I've already thought about the name of our resort, and it's called Shiwaiyuan." Cheng Jinyang was very satisfied with the name he thought of.

"Originally I wanted to call it Xanadu, but later I thought that the fruit trees planted in the villa were not limited to peaches. Calling Taoyuan limited the style of the villa. It is better to call it Shiwaiyuan, which means that people who come here can forget the troubles of mundane affairs and enjoy The relaxed and comfortable time is like being in a fairyland outside the world. What do you think?"

Lin Xiazhi thinks it's okay: "This name fits our definition of a resort, and when the time comes to promote it based on what the second cousin said just now, it should attract many people to come and play."

"Haha, that is."

The order of the ideas given by Lin Xiazhi at the beginning was a little messy, but after being sorted out by Cheng Jinyang, it was simple and clear, and after reading it, he could understand the layout of the villa at a glance.

"Second cousin, your schedule is much more organized than what I wrote." Lin Xiazhi put down the booklet in his hand and sighed sincerely.
