The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 164 Sacrificial Stove, Pig Killing

When the first winter vacation of Yang Dongxu's third year of junior high school came, Yanjing had already started to snow. At this time, although everyone thought that everything was inferior, they only studied well. Many people wanted to get into a good high school and a good university.

But after the holiday, there are still few such things like tutoring. Now most people still abide by the national regulations. If the country stipulates that it is a holiday, they will have a holiday. Few people play tricks in it. Of course, there is nothing to say about resource tutoring.

Just after the final exam, Yang Xu didn’t come all day, so Yanjing stayed away and went straight to Hangzhou. After nearly a year of filming "The Legend of the White Lady", the first TV series of Haina Film and Television has officially finished, so Yang Dongxu naturally wants to go to celebrate one time.

Yang Dongxu was very busy in the few days after he came back to Yanjing. Editing has nothing to do with him, a half-assed guy who only has theoretical knowledge. But when it comes to editing, it’s really not worth seeing one frame at a time.

Editing doesn’t require Yang Dongxu to be busy, but he can’t escape the music. He doesn’t know who sang the opening and ending songs, and the interludes. Who is it?

But this is not a problem. After several years of development, Hainer Records may not be as good as Warner and Feishi, but there are many singers, and there are also many well-known singers, so I found two dubbing jobs with good voices. just started.

First, the ending song "Crossing Love", then the opening song "Waiting for a Thousand Years", and then some episodes in it. It took more than ten days to finish it until the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, so the film and television department It is a benefit for everyone to take a holiday early.

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Yiren was unexpectedly busy, and if he wanted to go to Yangjiacun to meet his grandfather and the others, maybe he really had to wait until he retired.

Grandpa didn't go to Yangjiacun, so Zhou Ya, a daughter, naturally wanted to stay with her father for the new year. After all, 15-year-old Yang Dongxu and 20-year-old Ran Feifei are paired with 23-year-old Du Fei, so there is no need for her to send Yang Dongxu home.

Du Fei got married years ago, and Yang Dongxu didn't know about it beforehand. He didn't know about it until Du Fei brought a shy girl to the big courtyard to greet old man Xuan and him.

In fact, Yang Dongxu already knew that Du Suo and the others were Manchus, and probably old man Xuan was too. But it's not all like Jiechengwu is Han nationality.

So what he couldn't figure out was that now that everything was clear in this age, why the old man Xuan was always mysterious about where Du Suo and the others came from.

But he doesn't have that much curiosity about this matter, so don't let him know if he doesn't let him know. In order to make up for the fact that he, the boss, did not attend Du Fei's wedding, Yang Dongxu wrapped a big red envelope, and also gave a pair of sandalwood boxes carved with lilies and a lot of jewelry, implying a happy marriage (box) for a hundred years.

"Actually, you should stay in Yanjing. I'm not a child now. The north side is quite peaceful, and nothing will happen." Watching Du Fei and Yang Dongxu who had put his luggage away and sat down, he said.

After such a long time, Yang Dongxu kept his promise and did not do anything to Hei Siye again. And Fourth Master Hei also had a tacit understanding. He shot Yang Dongxu, and Yang Dongxu shot him, and the matter was evened out.

Although there is a saying that the heart of harming others is indispensable and the heart of defense is indispensable, but Yang Dongxu's martial arts these years have not been practiced in vain. Although there is a certain gap between Du Suo and Du Fei who have experienced many battles, he must protect himself No problem, so no need to be followed.

"If I don't follow Lord Xuan, even if I don't say anything, my brother will break my leg." Du Fei said with a smile, and then said nothing.

Well, Yang Dongxu could only roll his eyes at this young man who usually doesn't talk much. The planes are all up, so why not go down?

When I get home on 23, I can just catch up with the 24th next year to celebrate the New Year, which is also called Sacrificial Zao. In some places, this festival is celebrated on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and in some places, it is 24th on the twelfth lunar month. This area of ​​Yangjia Village is celebrated on 24th.

Compared with the dilapidated state a few years ago, Yangjia Village has changed in recent years. A straight asphalt road connects the official road ten miles away, and at the same time, a mortar road just completed last month connects Ranmiao Township. there.

In this way, Yangjia Village has become a transportation link between Wuli Town and Ranmiao Township, and it is difficult to imagine that such a market connecting the two towns will not be popular.

Therefore, although there are not many two-and-a-half-story small buildings in Yangjia Village, there are cement bungalows on both sides of the street, which look very stylish.

Not long after dawn and before breakfast time, the original threshing ground in Yangjia Village was crowded with people, not because the morning market had already opened, but because they had started to slaughter pigs and sheep.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar calendar, firecrackers were hung early in the morning to send the Stove Lord to the sky, so the villagers began to slaughter livestock. The gods and gods went to the sky for the New Year, and the other party could not see the killing. Rural people seem to like to choose 24 to slaughter some large livestock because they can comfort themselves in this way.

But killing pigs belongs to killing pigs, and pig killing is particular about this day. This is not a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat at any time, but also needs a set of etiquette such as burning paper and incense.

In addition to etiquette, whoever kills first and who kills later also pay attention to it for a long time. This order not only shows who has more prestige in Yangjia Village, but more importantly, the order in which vows are fulfilled.

Chinese people have the custom of setting off cannons, burning paper, and making wishes on the eve of New Year's Eve. In the new year, good health and family safety are the most common wishes, but there are also some special wishes.

For example, the hope that the son can marry a wife in the new year, or that the daughter-in-law can give birth to a boy, or that the wish can be admitted to college, etc.

These special wishes are often accompanied by offerings when making wishes. For example, if my son can get married in the new year, then I will kill a big fat pig, burn multiple incense sticks, fire as many cannons as possible to fulfill the wish, etc.

Therefore, on the day of the 24th Pig Killing, those who wish to fulfill their wish have liked the first one to kill a pig. After all, you are ranked second, and you always feel that you are not very sincere to the gods. This is similar to the meaning of later generations queuing all night just to burn incense in the temple.

Everyone wanted to be the first to kill, and their status was revealed at this time. If you don't have face in the village, then even if you fulfill your wish, you will have to wait a row behind before it is your turn.

"Grandpa Eight, you don't want to do it yourself today?" Woke up early in the morning, and after practicing with Du Fei in the backyard, Yang Dongxu, wrapped in a military coat, put his hands in his cuffs and wore a mask with big ears on both sides of his head. It can protect the face, a hat that is very popular in the countryside in winter, coupled with the red nose from the cold in the morning, if you snot your nose, you can look like a real rural child.

Yang Dongxu dressed up to go out made Yang's father and Yang's mother feel very awkward. Compared with his son's dress yesterday, his son's dress today is the difference between a city person and a countryman.

Du Fei also looked strange when he saw Yang Dongxu's outfit. Although he didn't like to talk very much, he had been in the courtyard for a long time. He knew the temperament of his young master very well. He was used to Yang Dongxu's fox-like cleverness and changeable personality, but now he suddenly saw such an uncouth appearance, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

"The two juniors are ready to become teachers, give them more opportunities to practice. Didn't your godfather come back together? I'm going to get him two plates of stewed pigtails to taste. They also want to thank him for the road construction. "I cut a tooth out of my grandfather, and just used this gap to bite the cigarette bag and smoke it.

Grandpa Eight is a knife that is famous far and near. When he was a fool, he was a sharp knife. Once he cut it, he never needed to make a second knife cleanly.

These days, people with crafts will accept a few apprentices. They are real apprentices, not the ones who teach you how to do it. You just call a few masters and you are done. Grandpa Eight naturally has apprentices, and there are many of them. Even the pork stalls in the town Several of the butchers on the road also learned their craft from him.

"Grandfather and wife are too busy to help. They said that he would come to see you when he retired, and that you would go to Yanjing to see him when you had time. He would take you to see the Great Wall and the Imperial Palace." Yang Dongxu said.

"Being a big leader is very busy, but can I go to see the Great Wall and the Imperial Palace?" Grandpa Eight seemed a little excited.

As for Zhou Yiren's official position, he actually didn't know. In the eyes of rural people, as long as he went to Yanjing to be an official, he was a big leader, and it was normal for him to be busy.

"Is there anything you can't see. It's like the locust river next to our village. You can see it however you want."

"If you have time, your boss and I will think about it, the heart of the motherland, it's worth seeing everything before you die."

"Grandpa Eight, today is a young year, don't say such unlucky things."

"Haha, I'm old, but I was scolded by you." The eighth grandfather, whose eyes were a little tearful, waved his hands and slapped Yang Dongxu on the back of the head to cover up his embarrassment.

The first person to kill a pig was none other than the grandfather's family. The grandfather had three sons, and after giving birth to four granddaughters, he finally gave birth to a fat grandson this year, who must be the first to kill.

The patriarchal custom in Yangjia Village is not serious, at least Yang Dongxu was often beaten when he was a child before his rebirth, his elder sister and younger sister were rarely beaten, and he also wore a lot of clothes that his older sister had been made smaller by his mother. However, the idea of ​​passing on the family line is deeply rooted. After having a grandson, the grandpa's face is full of smiles.

The pig was howling, but when the knife went down, the man who killed the pig went in half of his wrist, then turned the knife and pulled it out, and quickly took a basin beside him to collect the pig's blood, and someone beside him sprinkled some salt at the same time.

When the blood of the pig is gone, the big pig is put into a large pot that is dug into a hole in the ground next to it, and the water is already boiled. Many children shouted happily.

Put the pork lungs, pork liver, and two hangs of lard into the basket next to it. These are very clean and don't need to be cleaned. Clean them up before eating. Put the pig stomach and large intestine into the basin, which needs to be cleaned carefully.

The children were happy not because they liked the bloody scenes, but because the man who killed the pig tied a knot and left the pig urine foam aside. A group of children stepped up one by one and had a great time. , Untie the knot and blow some air in to play. As for whether it is dirty or not, no one cares about it at this time, and adults will not say much.

Separate the pig's head and trotters, and divide the hanging pig into two halves. The whole pig killing process is complete. Whoever kills the pig will be busy with the follow-up work. A few aunts and aunts will help.
