After watching the big snakehead fish "black head", Ye Rongrong went to the kitchen to make breakfast, today Ye Rongrong is going to make rice balls, in the south, people will eat a bowl of rice balls on the day of the winter solstice.

The wanderer who is far away from home eats a bowl of hot rice balls on the winter solstice, which means that this year's life outside is complete, and it is time to prepare to go home for the New Year and reunite with his parents, wives and children, and sisters at home.

The old man at home eats a bowl of hot rice balls on the winter solstice, knowing that the sons and daughters who are far away are about to come back to unite, and it is time to prepare New Year's goods and wait for the children to come back for the New Year.

Today, Ye Rongrong is making muddy rice balls, which are ground into powder with first-class glutinous rice abundant in the south to make skin, pork fat to remove tendons and membranes, cut and chop, put white sugar in a pot, mix and knead the sesame powder thoroughly, and knead it into lard sesame filling.

Mix and knead the water mill powder into a smooth dough, knead it into a wine cup shape, put it in the filling, and knead it into a round dumpling. Bring water to a boil, add the gnocchi and cook for 3 minutes, then add a small amount of cold water when the gnocchi floats, and push with a spoon to prevent it from sticking.

Cook for a while, when the filling is ripe, and the skin of the soup ball is jade and shiny, then scoop the soup into a bowl, add sugar, and sprinkle with osmanthus flowers, which is very simple.

This kind of glutinous rice balls is in Ye Rongrong's place, and there is also a name called "sweet glutinous rice balls", Ye Rongrong loved to eat this kind of glutinous rice balls when he was a child.

When I was a child, when my mother made "sweet rice balls" for Ye Rongrong to eat during the winter solstice, she would say to Ye Rongrong, you are one year older and you are going to be sensible.

In the southern winter solstice, the rice balls are generally cooked before dawn, and after the family gets up, they have to eat a bowl of "rice balls", after eating this bowl of rice balls, it means that everyone is one year older, commonly known as "Tian Sui", which means that although the year has not passed, everyone has added one year old.

Looking at the two steaming bowls of rice balls in front of him, Ye Rongrong couldn't help but think of his parents, eating rice balls meant that the family was reunited, but now, except for his wife Liu Jingqing, there is no longer the familiar voice and appearance of his parents.

It's just that Ye Rongrong thinks about it from time to time, the lost family affection is always so reminiscent and nostalgic, how much Ye Rongrong wants that his parents can also eat the rice balls he made.

It's a pity that all this has become a luxury for Ye Rongrong.

The past is like smoke, leaving only the living and the nostalgia for the lost loved ones.

Shaking his head, Ye Rongrong hid the emotions in his heart in the depths of his heart, the past is gone, what he can do now is to cherish the people around him even more.

……

"Husband, is breakfast ready?"

Liu Jingqing walked into the kitchen and asked. Liu Jingqing, who is used to getting up early, really can't go to bed early.

"Okay, we're going to eat dumplings this morning. Ye Rongrong said.

"Eat rice balls, okay. Liu Jingqing said happily.

……

"Husband, I know an interesting story about tangyuan, do you want to listen to it. ”

A few hot rice balls entered his stomach, and Liu Jingqing's body was not cold all of a sudden, and he said happily to his man.

"What an interesting story, tell me about it. Ye Rongrong asked curiously.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Lu Dongbin, one of the eight immortals, once turned into an old man selling rice balls in March in the spring of March, and sold them by the West Lake. ”

At this time, a man named Xu Xian happened to walk by, so he asked for a bowl, and accidentally, a rice ball rolled down the West ~ Lake and was swallowed by the white snake. So the white snake became an immortal, turned into a human, and married Xu Xian. ”

Liu Jingqing slowly told the story of "White Snake and Xu Xian".

"Hehe, my wife married Xu Xian because she ate a rice ball with the white snake. Ye Rongrong couldn't help laughing.

"Why not?"

Liu Jingqing glanced at his man and said. I finally remembered a story about Tangyuan and told him that he was like this, and Liu Jingqing was very shocked in his heart.

"Okay, how can it not work, wife, in our south, after the winter solstice, eating glutinous rice balls means that you are twenty years old, should we prepare for the doll thing." ”

Ye Rongrong said. Ye Rongrong is almost thirty years old, and people like him in the village already have children, Ye Rongrong doesn't care, it's too fake.

"Husband, will you give me a little more time? I really want to give you a baby, but now I ......," Liu Jingqing said with a little pale face.

"Okay, wife, don't talk about it, it's nothing in two years, wife, you're still so young, it's okay in a few years, I'll just say this, I haven't had enough of the two of us, I really don't want children. ”

Ye Rongrong interrupted Liu Jingqing's words and said. Ye Rongrong didn't want to put any pressure on his woman's heart, although Ye Rongrong really wanted a child, so that his parents who were already in Heaven would know that they had grandchildren, and let them be happy on the other side of Heaven.

But Ye Rongrong didn't want his wife to suffer, Ye Rongrong knew that his wife was now a little reluctant to have children, although Ye Rongrong didn't know the reason, but Ye Rongrong knew that he couldn't make his woman sad, so Ye Rongrong pushed the responsibility to himself, not wanting to make it difficult for his woman.

"Husband......"

Liu Jingjing shouted with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, if the tears fall into the rice balls, the rice balls will not be sweet. Ye Rongrong helped Liu Jingqing wipe the tears on his face and said with a smile.

……

After breakfast, Ye Rongrong lay on the chair, basking in the sun outside the yard, watching with interest the group of hairy children in the village feeding the "blackhead" guy by the pond.

Ye Rongrong had to sigh, yesterday the people in the village really caught a lot of fish in the village pond, and I didn't see that almost all of these hairy children brought at least one big fish of at least one catty or more in their hands.

I don't know if the parents of these hairy children know that these hairy children will take the fish from their homes to feed their "blackheads", and will use a broom to beat their farts ~ farts.

Ye Rongrong thought with some malice.

Of course, Ye Rongrong watched these hairy children take their own fish to feed their own "blackheads", and he would definitely not care, so he didn't have to feed them.

Blackheads are not afraid of people, and when they see children, they swim to the edge of the pond and open their mouths wide to wait for the fish to eat.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone talking in the distance, and "Wang Zai" and "Xiaobai", who were originally basking in the sun next to Ye Rongrong, jumped up and rushed over.

I saw the old village chief leading a man wearing a short sweatshirt and an eye on the bridge of his nose coming over, Ye Rongrong could see at a glance that this person was not from Taoyuan Village.

"Old village chief, what kind of wind is blowing you over? Ye Rongrong got up from the chair and said with a smile as he greeted the old village chief.
