Chapter 154

When the Yulan basin Festival holiday arrived, the streets were obviously deserted. Many people should have gone back to their hometown.

Dongmei lined up her younger brothers and sisters early in the morning, brought tools and flowers, and led them to the cemetery to weed and scrub the tombstone - not too far away, the cemetery is between the commercial area and the residential area, like a small park.

When he came back from his busy work, he opened the Buddhist niche at home, set up an altar below, lit lights, and placed flowers, water and offerings so that the dead could have a place to stay and rest when they returned home.

The offerings are basically vegetarian, all of which are made with spring dishes. The Fukuzawa family also wants to be vegetarian these days. They have no requirements for Beiyuan xiuci and Yangzi - of course, do as the Romans do, and Beiyuan xiuci doesn't intend to eat meat.

On the altar, there are also pieces of wood and cucumbers with four legs. This is a "ghost horse" for the dead to ride to their home quickly. When sending the dead back to the yellow spring, they should be replaced with eggplant with four legs. This is the "ghost cow" for the dead to bring more sacrifices back.

Then Dongmei ordered Xueli to hang Menglan basin festival lanterns at the entrance of the porch. Generally, we should burn the soul fire, but this commercial block is not allowed, so we use lanterns instead.

So far, the dead are back to reunite with their living relatives. They will go back after living together for three or four days. Xiuci Beiyuan leads Yangzi to watch, but he doesn't feel the difference. The temperature in the room hasn't changed. Perhaps this kind of memorial ceremony is essentially used to comfort the living, or to express that forgetting is the real death. As long as someone remembers, it is not a real death and will always be with his family.

The Fukuzawa family didn't look sad. They took turns to whisper to their mother at the altar for a while, and kithara xiuci also took Yoko to say hello, which was to thank them for their interruption here during this time.

After eating the plain noodles for dinner, Dongmei takes Yangzi away and is ready to change into a bathrobe and go out to attend the ceremony. Everyone was very relieved about Xiuji Beiyuan's character. No one told him anything, but he took the initiative to sit in the lobby to avoid suspicion and stay in a daze with akitaro.

After a long time, Yangzi came down and said with a smile, "o'nissan will wait a little longer. Sister Dongmei is chasing sister Xueli, sister Chuncai is persuading, and Xia Zhijiang and Xia Sha sauce are watching the excitement... It may take a little more time."

Beiyuan xiuci was stunned and said with a smile, "it doesn't matter." he didn't ask anything. Every day in the snow, he was either beaten or found on the way to be beaten. This is basically a normal phenomenon.

However, Yangzi looks beautiful in his bathrobe!

Yangzi wore a bathrobe with blue background and white flowers. Blue was dark blue, white was a big flower with white powder, and the waist was Beige front plate - a cloth belt about 30 cm wide, mainly to cover the rope knots tied around the waist, which looked neat and beautiful. He was holding a yarn fan and a small blue cloth bag in his hand, wearing clogs and barefoot, A long, supple hair was tied in a bun, with only two strands hanging from the side of the ear, and a small Beige silk flower was worn on the left ear.

Elegant and quiet with a delicate, let people shine in front of them.

Kithara xiuci is not a person who knows nothing about bathrobes now. He has never learned it and has gone back to study it. Bathrobes should be considered as Wu clothes. After all, they imitate the style of Wu clothes. Or not. After all, it's not a formal dress, or it's a simple version of Wu's dress.

It used to be worn after taking a bath, so it's called a bathrobe. Now, after research, xiuci Beiyuan can distinguish the two.

Because Wu Fu is a formal dress, there will be a white "Ru companion" inside, so at a glance, Wu Fu looks like a double-layer collar, but not in the bathrobe, just a single layer.

At the same time, Wu Fu will wear white socks, that is, the "foot bag", and the bathrobe is barefoot.

Then the most important thing is the material. Wu Fu mostly uses silk, silk and yarn, while bathrobes only use pure cotton cotton - of course, the price is different. Bathrobes are generally 50 to 10000 yuan, while Wu Fu is cheap at about 30000 yuan, 100000 yuan is also common, and there are millions of yuan.

Of course, just in general, cheap Wu clothes are cheaper than high-grade bathrobes. It's hard to say about clothes. It's normal that the price difference between famous custom-made goods and popular goods is hundreds of times and thousands of times.

There may be exceptions if one of the three items is taken out, but the three items can be distinguished at a glance.

Yangzi was embarrassed to see Beiyuan xiuci. He took a round fan and half covered his small face, but he still turned around and showed him the big bow behind him. He asked nervously, "is it good-looking, o'nissan?"

She also wore a bathrobe for the first time. Before, her mother didn't buy it for her, but now this dress is matched by Dongmei. She can't take it herself - maybe she should wear it more brightly?

But Hideki kithara sincerely said, "it's beautiful!" to be honest, any kind of traditional clothing can survive the test of time, it must be unique, and Dongmei's little carrot head's aesthetic ability is quite good and the collocation is just right.

Yangzi was praised and shook off his small handbag. He was a little embarrassed, but he was happy and looked down at himself. And Hideki kithara thinks that Dongmei is right. Girls like to wear bathrobes. Japanese girls usually wear school uniforms. They can run out in bathrobes, which is probably the time for summer festival and Yulan basin Festival. Moreover, this kind of bathrobe with bright printed flowers can only be worn as a girl. When they are old, they are embarrassed to wear so colorful, Otherwise, running to the street is easy to make people have bad associations.

In your twenties and thirties, you still wear a girl bathrobe. Aren't you engaged in any special occupation?

Little carrot has a point. If you don't wear it at this time, you will be sorry when you grow up.

Yangzi was shy. He was embarrassed to ask in detail where it was good-looking, whether it was good-looking people or good-looking clothes, but he took two steps in his clogs, touched the big flower on the bathrobe, and asked curiously, "o'nissan, what flower is this?"

Beiyuan xiuci stared at it for a while, then clicked [remarks] and studied it for a moment. He smiled and said, "it's peony and peony. Printed on the bathrobe represents a wish for happiness in the future."

Little carrot head is very careful. It's a good choice! Beiyuan xiuci gave Dongmei 99 points in her heart.

Yangzi felt really happy recently, but touched his bathrobe and envied his little face: "this is made by sister Dongmei's mother. Sister Dongmei's mother is so powerful."

"Really?" kithara xiuci was also a little surprised. Looking at the stitch, he thought it was bought and originally made by himself. However, he looked at the envious expression on Yangzi's face and couldn't tell whether she liked this bathrobe or envied Dongmei's good mother. He smiled and said, "Yangzi should come on and be a person like Fuze's mother in the future!"

Yangzi forced her little head: "I must come on!" anyway, she won't be a person like her mother when she is old. She will dress up her children beautifully in the future.

They chatted here for a long time before the five sisters of the fuze family came down from upstairs. The snow was full of grievances and gathered around kithara xiuci to complain in a low voice - she had already found out. As long as she complained around kithara xiuci, Dongmei didn't dare to rush over and beat her.

Kithara xiuci glanced at her. She was wearing a bathrobe with white flowers on a black background - not a mourning dress, and the lace around her waist was dark red - the flower was Acorus calamus, a kind of evil ward flower commonly used in the Dragon Boat Festival. At the same time, the pronunciation of Acorus calamus in Japanese was similar to the victory and defeat, which also represented the idea of advocating martial arts and deciding the victory and defeat.

Black and white monochrome is very suitable for this simple character in the snow. It seems to make her more pure, and the flower language is also very good. There's nothing to complain about, right? Kithara xiuci whispered with a smile and asked, "what's the matter? Don't you like this dress?"

The snow touched my chest and said, "my sister thinks I'm too color Q, so she wrapped my chest with a cloth belt. It's uncomfortable and hot... They don't wrap it, just me."

Beiyuan xiuci looked at it carefully and found that the big rabbits in the snow didn't move. However, he couldn't manage this kind of thing and didn't dare to manage it. He didn't even dare to look more. He quickly moved to the side and didn't get involved in the muddy water.

Dongmei turns a big pocket over there. She is wearing a white bathrobe and is decorated with dragonfly patterns - Dragonfly is considered to be an insect striving towards its goal, nicknamed "victory insect", which is one of the good omens.

Spring vegetables wear a yellow bathrobe, but the flower is wisteria, which means that the family is prosperous.

Xia Zhi and Xia Sha wear the same clothes. They are extremely gorgeous. They have a bright red background and white, light red and light yellow flowers. They are roses, but they don't seem to have any metaphor. These two guys should just be smelly.

But as like as two peas, the two little guys were very beautiful when they wore them. They stood there with overwhelming superiority to everyone around them. They were very attracted. They were the same as two people, and they were all bright.

These bathrobes are very exquisite. Xiuci Beiyuan couldn't help whispering to the snow, "are these bathrobes made by your mother in the snow?"

The snow caressed his clothes and said seriously: "Yes, she made a lot of clothes for us, and she can wear them until adulthood... She has been doing it since she was ill! My mother is very powerful, she is the strongest person I know, and you can't compare with her in the show! My mother can make all kinds of clothes, cook, play the piano and arrange flowers, write novels, go to college, and go to China to study that... What's behind the university? Anyway I learned a lot. In the past, my mother repaired the toilet when it was broken. "

Kithara Xiuji and Xueli are already quite familiar. She doesn't waste her energy and can't help but be surprised by her words - how did that guy Fukuzawa Zhilong cheat such a good wife? It's not that he spoke ill of people behind his back. Looking at the photos, Xueli's mother is a great beauty. Otherwise, she couldn't have produced such a bunch of beautiful daughters. She is versatile and capable of running a family. How could she choose that guy Fukuzawa Zhilong?

Fukuzawa's spring food looks most like Fukuzawa Zhilong. As a result, she looks ordinary. It can be seen that Fukuzawa Zhilong was also very ordinary when he was young. He graduated from college and had a criminal record of fighting, and the situation at home is also general. In the past, he should be more than the top, the local tyrant is not good, and he was injured and didn't have a serious job.

This is definitely a flower inserted into what? It's puzzling!

He is thinking about it there. Dongmei has asked everyone to line up and send "yupen jade". This is a traditional custom. On this day, the elders want to give pocket money to the younger generation. However, at present, Dongmei is the largest in the fuze family, so she sent it instead.

Each person has a small bag. Dongmei starts from the beginning. Everyone has a share, even Yoko. In the snow in front of kithara xiuci, he took the small bag and opened it. He was immediately happy, and kithara xiuci also stretched out his hand - he thought it was a local custom and he would have it.

Dongmei looked at him strangely: "what are you doing with your hand? You are bigger than me. How can I send it to you?"

Kithara xiuci is speechless. Your uncle, why don't you send it to me and let me line up? In fact, Dongmei didn't ask him to line up, but he was used to queuing on weekdays. When he stood in the snow, he came along confused.

After sharing the pocket money, Dong Mei took the lead in walking out and drove directly to the small square in the business district, where there was the Yulan basin dance held in the town.

This kind of dance was originally used to express the joyful posture of people in hell when they were rescued. It is not fierce, but there are many hand movements. Now it has evolved into a traditional dance. Generally speaking, you have to dance all night, but only some villages are like this. In big cities, because of the fast pace of life, it is mostly interesting.

In the street, people were parading in sedan chairs, and there was a lot of laughter. They toured all the way to the small square, where two huge fires were burning - residents are not allowed to burn soul fire at home, but instead they burn collectively, in order to illuminate the dead so that they won't get lost on cucumbers.

The celebration has begun. There is a high platform in the middle of the fire, on which several women in bathrobes are singing in unison. Next to them, there are people beating Taigu and playing Sanwei string accompaniment. Many people in bathrobes dance around the high platform and the fire in time, and snow, summer weaving and summer yarn join in with a shout of joy.

Beiyuan xiuci looked at Yangzi and smiled, "Yangzi, go play too!"

Yangzi hesitated and whispered, "I won't, o'nissan... I've only seen it before, but I've never skipped it."

Dongmei said, "that's why you wear bathrobes! Come on, Yoko, I'll teach you!" then she dragged Yoko into the venue, and Chuncai followed them with akitaro.

In the twinkling of an eye, xiuci Beiyuan was left alone. It was better to wear traditional clothes to participate in such activities, otherwise he felt out of place when he crowded in in casual clothes. Besides, he was not interested in participating. He came to visit and play with Yangzi more - the men inside were wearing headscarves, printing boxes hung on their waists, and several people on the stage were only wearing crotch cloth, He won't wear it like this.

There's something to do without dancing. There's a circle of open-air stalls around the square to provide all kinds of snacks and games. Beiyuan xiuci turns around and thinks it's very interesting. But after a while, she found him in the snow, and kithara xiuci smiled and asked, "why don't you go to play?"

The snow was depressed and scratched her back. "I can't breathe. I really want to untie it, but my sister won't let it." after a depressed moment, she quickly became happy, took kithara Xiuji and shouted, "go, xiuci, I'll take you to catch goldfish."

She pulled xiuci Beiyuan through the crowd - there were indeed many people, and it felt that most of the people in the business district were crowded here - but when she passed a small stall, she stopped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Beiyuan xiuci looked. He was a seller of Apple candy. He took a small stick to insert the small apple, then poured syrup on the outer layer and stuck some dried fruit. It was similar to Chinese sugar gourd.

Standing there in the snow, kithara xiuci was a little strange, "buy if you want!" this is not a valuable thing, even ordinary snacks, which can't cost a few money at all.

Xueli nibbled her lower lip with snow-white shellfish teeth, desperately resisting the temptation, "I want to eat, but I have no money."

Beiyuan xiuci looked at her in surprise. You're lying! I saw you hand out your pocket money half an hour ago!

"Where's the pocket money just sent?"

"The money is useful to me. I can't spend it indiscriminately. I want to make the best use of everything... Let's go, xiuci. I can't watch it anymore. I'm so sad after watching it for a long time." Xueli left with Xiuji Beiyuan, but he looked back three times at a time. He seemed greedy and his face was full of tangles.

Beiyuan xiuci couldn't stand it anymore. She went back and bought one for her. Xueli didn't be polite to him. She was very happy to take it and licked it. Her face was full of happy expressions. "Xiuci, you are very kind to me. Enbi Haishen, I really didn't see you wrong!"

You are so satisfied. An apple will be sent away with a little sugar. Seeing that she had been licking and reluctant to bite, Beiyuan xiuci asked tentatively, "do you have a wallet in the snow?"

He was embarrassed to ask where Xueli's money had gone, but he had known Xueli for more than four months and had never seen her spend a yen. She obviously had pocket money. Where did the money go? All the time? Really curious.

The snow opened his mouth and contained the whole apple candy. He took out his small handbag with both hands and said vaguely, "I have wow. What are you doing here?"
