On this day, Zhou Shujie slipped away quietly when she was ready to take her son under the knife, and her mother-in-law was always ready to stop her.

When her two children pushed a small cart, they could walk safely in the yard, and they would buy it until the August Festival.

That is, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the Reunion Festival.

On this festival in the Northeast, if there is a man who is married, he will pick up his daughter-in-law to come to his house for the festival, and the girl who is engaged will be married by the man.

Of course, this is not for nothing, the girl came, she wanted to be entertained with good food and drink, and she had to give people some money when she left.

As for how much you take?

It depends on the family situation and the satisfaction of the daughter-in-law.

This festival, Brother Tuesday also has to pick up his little object.

This can make Brother Zhou'er happy!

To say that the two of them have been together for so long, and now they just feel that they are here, and the girl has never been to his house, this is the first time.

Brother Tuesday was nervous, and ran back and forth to Zhou Shujie's house several times.

Let her help see how to tidy up his house, let her give some advice, and make it fresher.

Wait for the girl to come, so that she can live here!

On Tuesday, my brother would roll up the rolls and go to live with his grandfather.

Zhou Shujie did go twice and helped her second brother come up with two ideas.

One is to let her second brother find a sheet to come out and put it on the mat on the kang, after all, girls in the city generally don't like the soil kang of this kind of mat shop in the countryside, not to mention that such a shop is quite good-looking!

The second is to find two canned bottles leftover from canned food, and tell her that when the time comes, the second brother will go to pick two handfuls of flowers for the girl every day, and put them in the house to be bright, beautiful and fragrant, and ordinary little girls like this.

Zhou Shujie just moved her mouth, but her second brother almost ran thin legs!

After listening to the idea given to him by his sister-in-law, he didn't care that the day was not coming, so he picked a few handfuls of flowers first, to see if they were fragrant when they were put in the house.

The rest is that Brother Tuesday is busy himself, sweeping the shed and cleaning the windows, waiting for the house to be cleaned up, and there are still two days before the day of picking up people, he himself will not live, and he will move to Mr. Zhou with the cover roll.

This gave Uncle Zhou, who was watching the excitement on the side, and the corners of Sister-in-law Zhou's mouth only twitched!

I really didn't see that their old Zhou family could still have such a man.

To say that Sister-in-law Zhou's belly is almost nine months old, it is very big, two laps bigger than a normal pregnancy!

And because their family has a history of giving birth to twins.

For example, Zhou Shujie, so whoever sees her belly will say that it must be Shuang'er.

Hearing people say this, Sister-in-law Zhou herself is happy.

She especially likes the two children of Zhou Shujie's family.

Now that this family planning is strictly controlled, if anyone dares to commit a crime against the wind, you will be fined at least 3,000 for giving birth to a child.

Originally, she regretted that she could only have one child in her life, but she didn't expect that there might be two in this belly, which made her very happy.

Hearing people say the same thing, Brother Zhou was not only happy, he was also a little worried.

After all, when his sister-in-law gave birth, Sister-in-law Zhou was not there, and she didn't know the situation at that time.

He was there, looking at his sister's life-threatening appearance, he was really distressed.

Now it's my daughter-in-law's turn!

What a heart he has!

When I look at that big belly every day, it's like having claws, scratching my heart and scratching my liver every day!

He was looking forward to the early birth of the child, but he was afraid of the moment the child was born.

There was no way, so in the end, I had to sneak away two trips to Mrs. Ma.

I asked Grandma Ma if she had any ideas.

In the end, the old lady really gave him an idea. It was to tell him that after eight months, let his daughter-in-law eat less. Don't feed your baby too fat. She has to eat too much, and the child is too fat, so it will be difficult to give birth at that time.

Brother Zhou, he really strictly followed Mrs. Ma's words.

In fact, Aunt Zhou also understands this truth, she and her son make delicious food every day, but no matter what delicious it is, the amount is very small, and she will never be particularly full.

After eating, Brother Zhou here led his daughter-in-law to walk around the yard, not sure that she would not take her into the house to sleep after she had finished digesting.

Sister-in-law Zhou is a big heart, if she is generally careful, people still have to feel that this mother-in-law is treating her badly!

Brother Tuesday looked forward to it again and again, and this day finally arrived on the day of the festival in his hope.

Coincidentally, this day is also a market.

Brother Tuesday got up early in the morning to pack up their big cattle and the ox cart.

The calves I brought with me when I bought the cow this spring are now almost half the size of his mother.

At first glance, it is usually fed well, and the fat yellow hair is shiny, and today he is going to follow him to the market, and he was cleaned up early in the morning, and the beauty jumped in front of his mother.

Brother Tuesday wanted to take the little calf with him, because he had told his object about the little calf in his family, and he was very interested in looking at the girl.

He thought that he would take it today, at least to find some topics, to distract some attention, and not to drive the ox cart without talking, all the way to the house in silence.

Today is a big set, and it's a festival, so there are a lot of people who go to the market.

Especially in the village, there is a family that raised two 300-pound pigs that were only 300 catties old every other year, and they were killed early in the morning today.

In this village, most of the pigs were sold, and the rest were to be sold in the market.

Zhou Shujie didn't want to go to the market, and the meat was bought in Bentunzi.

There is nothing lacking in white noodles at home, and it is enough to eat dumplings in the evening, which is what it means.

Later, I thought about it, I should send something to my grandfather and them during the holidays.

Zhou Shujie took out another fifty yuan, and asked his second brother to use the money to buy her wine at the supply and marketing cooperative, and buy two boxes of foreign cigarettes.

The foreign cigarettes sold now are still the kind without filters, and the name is antelope.

Zhou Shujie plans to give this cigarette and wine to Uncle Guo and everyone.

After all, is it a holiday!

It didn't take a morning, and Brother Tuesday drove the ox cart with a smile on his face, pulling the little object who came to the countryside for the first time, and ran on the dirt road that was almost to the village. (I forgot the name of the little subject, can he tell me?)

While talking and chattering, he also gave people the wheat in the field, saying which piece and which piece belonged to his family.

The girl blushed and sat on the somewhat bumpy ox cart and listened with a smile.

She is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between grains and grains, she can endure these things in the field, not only recognize them, but also recognize all the crops planted in the rural fields now.

didn't interrupt Brother Tuesday, just because I was very happy to see what he said.

Later, I listened to Brother Tuesday tell her that they had been hunting in the mountains and fishing in the water since they were children.

Picking up wild duck eggs on that meadow, she listened to her infinite yearning, and couldn't help but interject: "Second brother, you can take me to fish one day." ”

In fact, she also wants to go hunting, she wants to pick up duck eggs, but now is not the time to collect duck eggs and hunt, it is still more feasible to only catch fish.

As soon as Brother Tuesday heard that he was interested, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, I will take you to fish one day, I will tell you to fish fishing, but it's fun, Bala Bala Bala ......" caused a lot of topics, and he said a lot.

Seeing that he had entered the village and arrived home, he stopped talking.

As soon as he drove the ox cart into the village, what he said was not watched by the crowd.

But there were also many people standing at the door, pointing at the bicycles, ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and young men picking up their daughters-in-law and children.

Compared with the daughter-in-law of that family, the daughter-in-law of that family is well-dressed, these villagers have no malice at all, just watch a lively picture and have fun.

At lunch, Zhou Shujie and her family all ate at Uncle Zhou's house, knowing that her second brother was going to pick up someone in the future, she and her aunt and sister-in-law wrapped dumplings early.

Today, the eldest aunt also deliberately cut more meat and wrapped a dumpling stuffed with pork and green onions.

This stuffing is almost comparable to that of later generations, basically all meat, and chopped green onions are really borrowing.

Waiting for Tuesday, Brother drove the ox cart and took the girl to the door of the house.

Zhou Shujie is at the door, waiting to greet him!

The rest of the family are all elders, otherwise they would be older than them, so Zhou Shujie could only stand here to welcome others.

Ying entered the courtyard and talked for a while, and the dumplings were cooked.

put it on the table, the girl was not polite, she was helping to pick up the bowls, and she was helping to serve dumplings back and forth, looking very diligent.

After eating a mouthful of dumplings full of oil, the two children were so sleepy that they were angry.

Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law followed their grandfather to say hello, and took the child home with the remaining cigarettes and alcohol.

And whether the girl went to sleep, or her second brother went to chat with someone.

Zhou Shujie doesn't know!

Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law arrived home with the child in their arms, and she first sent the cigarettes and alcohol prepared for Uncle Guo to the next door.

If Zhou Shujie sent something else, maybe Uncle Guo didn't have to, when he saw that it was cigarettes and alcohol, he didn't accept it politely.

After Zhou Shujie came back from Aunt Guo's house, he also took a nap on the kang.

When I woke up and remembered that I had to make dumplings today, I got up and went to the outhouse to cut the meat filling.

When she bought meat early in the morning, she told her mother-in-law that she wanted to make dumplings with leek stuffing today, so she deliberately bought lean meat, and she didn't buy less.

I don't know why, she and her mother-in-law both felt that they should pack more today, as if they were afraid that they would not have enough to eat.

But when you think about it, what about the fact that there aren't so many people at home?

Even they themselves thought it was strange, but they didn't dig deeper.

Zhou Shujie was in the outhouse, cutting a piece of lean meat that was more than two catties heavy, cut it into small diced meat, put salt, green onions, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, and peppercorns and stirred it evenly, put it there and drowned, and she went to the garden to cut leeks.

I don't know if you've eaten it or not, but most people use this leek to make leek egg dumplings or boxes.

However, this leek is stuffed with pork, especially lean diced meat, and it is also very bright to eat.

Zhou Shujie cut half a pot of leeks.

I picked it up and brought it into the house and washed it with water twice, and then put it in a basin with empty water.

She went into the house again to scoop up the water, scoop the noodles, and make a large piece of dumpling noodles.

The soft and hard of this noodle is divided into places, and in Shandong and bread dumplings, it is generally soft noodles.

In the Northeast, they like to eat hard noodle dumpling skins.

Therefore, Zhou Shujie's noodles are also very hard, and when she kneaded this noodles together, they were all dry and only fell into the slag.

Fortunately, it was settled early in advance, and it can work for a long time.

Otherwise, they won't be able to rush together when the time comes.

When her mother-in-law woke up, she saw that Zhou Shujie was ready, and she almost started packing it at night.

When the child also woke up, she led the child in the yard and pushed the cart back and forth for half an afternoon.

It wasn't until the children were tired of playing that they were carried into the house to eat the formula, and after a while they hiccuped, and the two children lay on the small pillows and fell asleep patted by their grandmothers.

And here, Zhou Shujie also moved the panel onto the kang and began to knead the bread dumplings.

Knead the large piece of dough and divide it into four pieces.

I kneaded each piece for a long time, and I made sure that it was soft and did not leak dry noodles, and then put it in the basin and continued.

Zhou Shujie went to the outhouse, picked up the leeks that controlled the moisture, pressed them on the cutting board, chopped them into pieces with a kitchen knife, put them in the marinated meat filling, stirred evenly, and brought them into the house.

After walking for a while, he took a piece of the dough from the basin, kneaded it and made an eye in the middle, and turned it finer and thinner with his hand, until at last it felt almost the same, breaking from one of the places, from a circle into a long strip.

Then press it on the board, sprinkle the top and bottom of the white flour rubbing, pick it up and grab it with your hand, and use your thumb, index finger, middle finger, and three fingers to pull up about an inch of dough, and pull off a dumpling with a clever grunt.

This is the trick, and most people are not very good at it nowadays, either to buy ready-made skins, or to cut them with a knife.

There are about fifty pieces of this dough, and according to this calculation, these four doughs are almost 200 dumplings.

Zhou Shujie thought in her heart while wrapping it, this time this time there are too many dumplings, so much she and her mother-in-law have to eat a few meals.

It's hot and hot, and if it's hot and hot, this dumpling shouldn't be delicious.

Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law, both of whom are Lisuo people.

Don't look at these 200 dumplings, it sounds like a lot.

You have to understand that when eating dumplings in this era, let's take noon!

Zhou Shujie was at her uncle's house, and there were almost a thousand dumplings.

The 200 of their family is really not a problem, and they will all be packed out in a while.

The eyes of people who often work are very accurate, and how much stuffing, and how many noodles, are basically the same, and there is no noodles left after the stuffing is finished.

It's still bright on the day after wrapping!

Zhou Shujie went to boil water to boil dumplings, now there is no electricity in the countryside, and you can only light candles at night, so let's eat early at dawn!

The cauldron of the twelve seals, if you want to say that the boiling water is very fast!

After a while, the water was boiled, the dumplings were thrown into two open, and the third one was poured half a scoop of cold water into the pot.

Zhou Shujie fished out, and her mother-in-law brought it to the house one by one.

Of the more than 200 dumplings, one plate can only hold about twenty, and it took ten plates to clean the pot.

Zhou Shujie scooped out half a pot of dumpling soup again, put it aside and waited for it to finish eating.

Only then did he take the soy sauce and vinegar bowls and chopsticks into the back room.

The two mothers took off their shoes and got on the kang, and they were about to start eating.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

Hearing the voice, Zhou Shujie also smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "Maybe it's my second brother who brought his object to the door." ”

The mother-in-law also smiled and said: "That's right, let's let them taste this dumpling too, Shujie, go and open the door!"

"Hey!" Zhou Shujie responded, put on a shoe and went to the ground, and walked out of the house quickly to open the door for her second brother.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "Second brother, you ......"

Speaking of which, she paused!

Because she could see the people standing outside the door.

There is only one person, and it is not the second brother she thought she was.

It's a soldier wearing a green military uniform and carrying a green bag.

Zhou Shujie saw the soldiers coldly, but he didn't come back to his senses.

When I came back to my senses, I was stunned again!

She was surprised in her heart and only shouted: "This is obviously a pillar, but the pillar has never come back in his previous life, he, why did he come back?"

Has something changed?"

Sun Zhuzi also looked at this woman who called herself the second brother as soon as she opened the door, and stopped here in the middle of the call and then was stunned.

Is this his daughter-in-law?

In fact, you have to ask him, what does his daughter-in-law look like?

He really doesn't remember it very clearly, after all, they haven't gotten along much, and it only took two months to get married and get married.

Besides, Zhou Shujie is also young.

I married him at the age of eighteen, and this year has also changed a lot.

It looks whiter and taller than before, especially the hair is longer than before, which means that the person is thinner than before.

When the pillar saw that this person was still there, he was stunned?

He spoke first, "I'm back, why won't you let me in!"

The deep voice exploded beside Zhou Shujie, bringing her back to her senses.

I'm back when I hear a word from someone!

Then there was another sentence, why didn't you let me in?

She quickly came back to her senses and said sideways: "I didn't expect you to come back, I was stunned for a moment, come in, it just happened that the family had just cooked dinner." ”

But I thought in my heart, this time this dumpling is considered to be eaten by someone.

I don't understand how much resentment she has towards this dumpling!

At this time, you can still be distracted and think about who will eat this dumpling!

When the pillar looked at his little daughter-in-law, he finally came back to his senses.

Listening to her voice, I also feel that it is particularly crisp and pleasant.

Although his face, which has not been smiling all year round, is not so obvious, the slightly hooked corners of his lips also prove that he is in a very happy mood.

Carrying the things in his hand, he strode into the door, and when the woman behind him inserted the door from the new, he strode towards the door again.

The mother-in-law was sitting in the house, and she saw a person coming outside, but the sky was not so bright, and she didn't see it clearly, and when she heard the person enter the outhouse, she asked: "Shujie, why did you open the door for so long, did your second brother come by himself?"

When Sun Jinzhu arrived at the outhouse, he heard his mother's questioning.

He paused as he was walking, then took two steps forward, and opened the door to the back room with his hand, which was a little trembling with excitement.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw an old lady sitting next to the dining table in the room, energetic and smiling on her face.

He took two steps forward, looking the old lady up and down because it was a stranger who had entered.

With a bang, he knelt on the ground and called out in a dumb voice: "Mother......!"
