Chapter 47 Peanuts scattered in the new house
·
Shen Shen Ru Yi
Early in the morning on the fourth day after returning to her parents' home, Luo Baozhen heard from her father that Sun Guangjie had been beaten up and had been lying in an educated youth camp for two or three days without going to work.
Luo Baozhen was only secretly happy.
She also stayed at her parents' house for several days.
The quota for the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers will be announced the day after tomorrow, and she plans to take Dabao home after hearing the news the day after tomorrow.
It was not yet noon, and the two sisters-in-law came back from work early.
Sister-in-law Zhao Anping changed into clothes with a big pocket and said, "Baozhen, why are you still at home? Go quickly, we will finish picking up peanuts and other things later."
"That's right, Baozhen, let's go! Dabao and the others have already gone to Brother Quan's new house." Second sister-in-law Zhou Dajuan also echoed the urge.
Luo Baozhen was sweeping the floor when she heard her two sisters-in-law say this, and then she remembered that at noon today, brother Quan's house in the village was building a new house and laying beams.
This is also a custom that has always been in the village. When a family builds a new house, after laying the beams, they have to sprinkle some peanuts and sugar.
Those who have more money will scatter more candies, and those who have less money will scatter a few candies intentionally, and whoever finds them will eat them.
This is also a festive and fun event, and children love it the most. Some even bring baskets with them.
Even if it's just half a basket of peanuts, a family building a new house can save it without any extravagance.
Luo Baozhen also picked them up when she was a child. Now that she thinks about those scenes of snatching peanuts, she can't help but laugh.
It's been a long time since she went to see such excitement. Besides, Dabao was still there, so she wanted to watch it.
Children, if you don't pay attention when grabbing, you will get bruises.
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's go!"
Luo Baozhen put down the broom and followed her two sisters-in-law to Brother Quan's house.
Luo Baozhen walked to the new house and immediately saw Dabao and several nieces and nephews.
Watch Dabao running around, clapping his little hands with an excited look on his face.
It was Dabao’s first time to attend such a happy event, and it was so much fun.
Luo Baozhen saw that there were many people around, and Dabao was accidentally pushed by an older child. He lost his balance and fell forward.
He acted like a normal person, patting the dust, then raised his head and waited for the things to disperse.
Luo Baozhen couldn't stand any longer.
There were so many people, and Dabao was just inside.It's normal to fall down and be stepped on.
She hurriedly walked in and picked up Dabao, "My dear, doesn't it hurt if you fall? Mom is scared to see it."
Dabao's hair felt hot and smoking, but he was still very enthusiastic when he came down to pick up things. "Mom, don't be afraid, pick up peanuts!"
"Okay, okay, mom will take you to pick it up. Dabao will stand next to mom and protect her from being squeezed by uncles and aunts, okay?"
Dabao frowned and looked around. There were many people around.
He looked longingly at the spot inside, and then at his mother who was holding him.
In the end, he decided not to go inside and stand with his brothers, but with his mother.
"Okay, follow mom, it depends on the person."
Luo Baozhen is getting better and better at handling Dabao's filial son.
She didn't expect that a child of such a young age could be really protective.
Every time she shows weakness, Dabao will only choose her.
Not to mention how warm her heart felt, Luo Baozhen didn't dislike Dabao's colorful face at all, and gave him a clean kiss, "Dabao is so kind to mom."
"The last beam is put in place!"
"Bring up the peanuts and candies, Quan Zi, hold them and get ready to throw them!"
"Everyone, wait for another 2 minutes. Haha, uncle, your method is good. If you lift up your clothes, the peanuts will fall directly into your coat pockets!"
......
Everyone below the new house looked up, waiting for the command to be given and the peanuts would scatter towards them.
The atmosphere was so good that Luo Baozhen was pulled into action, leading Dabao to get ready to go.
"Liang Hao, the house is good, the house is good, the money is good, everything is safe, everything goes smoothly, and I may make a fortune. Hello everyone!"
"Quanzi, call one, two, three, here's some candy!"
I saw a large group of people taking a few steps closer to the new house.
"Everyone, pick it up quickly!"
In an instant, Luo Baozhen saw the peanuts scattering downwards in a parabola.
Everyone picked it up.
Luo Baozhen simply forgot that she was just here to see Dabao. She had already joined the peanut picking army.
Fortunately, she still remembered to hold Dabao by one hand.
"Dabao, hurry up, there's a candy in front of you!"
"Dabao, come on, mommy still has some here."
"Mom, there's more, and there's so much sugar!"
......
Luo Baozhen hadn't felt her body so agile and her eyes so sharp for a long time.
Many times people around her wanted to pick up some peanuts in front of her, but she was always the first to do it.
There were footsteps and laughter on the side, and Luo Baozhen didn't even have time to look at others.
After a total of 10 breaks, it was over.
Luo Baozhen and Dabao clearly did not stand in the central area.
But the peanuts and candies sprinkled by Brother Daquan seemed to have eyes, falling straight around Luo Baozhen and Dabao.
Luo Baozhen and Dabao really picked up a lot.
"Now that you've finished spreading, may wealth and blessings spread to everyone."
Luo Baozhen's pockets were full, and Dabao's trouser pockets were even full.
A few peanuts fell from the big bag. He bent down to pick them up, but two more peanuts fell out.
He bent down and raised his head, and the top of his head was really smoking at this time, and the white gas was evaporating, "Mom, ah ah, there are so many, so many, so fun!"
After picking up the peanuts, Dabao hadn't recovered yet. Everyone else had gone back, but Dabao still couldn't bear to leave.
Luo Baozhen actually went crazy, but she could still control it.
When the two sisters-in-law and several nieces and nephews came over, Luo Baozhen held Dabao's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother has been separated a lot today."
The sister-in-law looked at the results of Luo Baozhen and Dabao's battle with envy on her face, "Baozhen, you are still awesome, so I just picked up a few."
The second sister-in-law also spread her hands, "Baozhen, why do I think Brother Quan gave away all the peanuts to you? Look at me, I just robbed you of this."
Luo Baozhen looked at the peanuts in the second sister-in-law's hand, and then looked at the hands of several children.
She was speechless now.
This was probably due to the good luck, she said, she didn't even have to run for the peanuts to reach her.
"Haha, it's probably because Brother Quan tends to wander in my direction."
The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law nodded in agreement.
Dabao shared the things he picked up with several cousins.
Luo Baozhen was worried about his heatstroke, so she quickly wiped his sweat and changed his clothes as soon as he got home.
After changing and coming out, Yang Yang said someone was looking for her outside the door.
Luo Baozhen looked outside the door in confusion.
I didn’t expect it to be Wang Yan.
Luo Baozhen was shocked when she saw Wang Yan, who had lost a lot of weight.
When Wang Yan saw Luo Baozhen, she didn't smile as falsely as before.
Instead, he sneered twice with dull eyes and said, "Luo Baozhen, after dinner tonight, I'll meet you at the thatched hut behind the big locust tree in the south of the village. I advise you to come."
Luo Baozhen turned around and didn't want to talk to him.
"Luo Baozhen! If you don't come, your father will be in trouble."
Luo Baozhen was only secretly happy.
She also stayed at her parents' house for several days.
The quota for the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers will be announced the day after tomorrow, and she plans to take Dabao home after hearing the news the day after tomorrow.
