Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparation

Zhou Shujie had eaten a full meal, so he had the strength to take out all the things he bought today and clean them up, wash what should be washed, and freeze what should be frozen.

In the end, Zhou Shujie opened the apple box and found sixty apples from the box, and as soon as the sixty were taken out, the box went down for a little and a half.

Divide the sixty apples into three parts, 20 each, which Zhou Shujie plans to use as a gift this year.

In this era, holiday gift-giving was not practiced.

Only a little daughter-in-law like Zhou Shujie who has been married for many years will give a New Year's gift to her mother's family.

The weight of the gift you give represents whether you are doing well in your in-law's house, whether your in-laws value you, and whether your husband is good to you.

Originally, this ceremony needed to be prepared by her mother-in-law or husband, but in Zhou Shujie's current situation, her mother-in-law didn't know anything about it, and her husband was not at home, so she could only prepare it by herself.

This New Year's gift is only for relatives in the mother's family.

Zhou Shujie was in this village, and only two relatives, the uncle's family and the village chief's uncle's family, wanted to give it, so she bought two bottles of wine and two boxes of trough cakes.

Add these 20 apples and take out two more packets of sugar.

When I bought this sugar, I specially asked the family to pack it, and it cost a total of four yuan to let the family wrap four packs, and now I take out two bags and give them to the uncle and the village chief's uncle's house.

She plans to give Aunt Guo's family a pack, and keep a bag for her mother-in-law to eat.

Divide all the gifts and look at this decent four-box gift.

Zhou Shujie felt that she had done it quite well.

Aunt Guo's family can't be regarded as her mother's family, but it helps Zhou Shujie a lot.

So Zhou Shujie plans to send 20 apples and a packet of sugar to their family.

By the time she had packed up her things, the two children woke up.

Zhou Shujie took an apple and washed it and cut it in half with a knife.

She gave half of it to her mother-in-law.

The other half, she held it in her hand, slowly scraped the apple puree with the iron spoon at home, and fed it to the child's mouth spoonful by spoon.

Watching her mother-in-law and her two children eat straight, Zhou Shujie felt that she was very satisfied.

After feeding them the apples, I played with them for a while.

I gave them one of them to play there by themselves in order to wait for the two children to eat enough at a time.

Zhou Shujie hurriedly grabbed some branches into the house, and led the stove to burn a fire wall.

It was also hot in the house, and it was getting dark.

Zhou Shujie put on the quilt and put candles on it, and played with the two children in the quilt for a while.

While playing with the children, I also told my mother-in-law about the new things I saw in the market today, and interesting things.

She didn't care if her mother-in-law could understand it, as long as she saw her mother-in-law looking at her with a smile, she kept talking.

It wasn't until the child was angry and the mother-in-law was sleepy that she blew out the candle and went to sleep.

Before relaxing, he didn't feel tired, but lying in the quilt, all relaxed, Zhou Shujie felt a little soreness on his body.

Tell yourself to go to bed quickly! There's a lot to do tomorrow!

Give gifts to the uncle's and uncle's family, as well as Aunt Guo'er's family.

Tomorrow we will also start sweeping and steaming bean buns, as well as the next year's dinner, which will be prepared before the year.

People are very tired, and their eyes can't be opened, but their brains are very active, and the more they think about these things, the more they can't sleep.

She tried to empty her mind and think about nothing.

But it wasn't so easy to do, and the last thing she thought about before she fell asleep was...... It's a pillar, it's a small year today, I don't know if you have eaten dumplings in the pillar?

…………

The person she was thinking about kept shuttling through the remote rainforest, laying out one command after another.

Sun Jinzhu knew that today was Xiao Nian'er, but they didn't have time to eat dumplings, they wanted to defeat the enemy here and protect their relatives at home to eat dumplings in peace and joy.

They didn't eat dumplings today, though.

Sun Jinzhu planned to give the enemy a New Year's gift and treat them to a dumpling-making meal.

…………

When Zhou Shujie was sleeping in a daze, he felt that something was constantly climbing and going on his face.

She thought she was dreaming, and when she was about to fall asleep again, the thing boarded her again, and it woke Zhou Shujie up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was her daughter who was sleeping next to her, kicked off the quilt and stretched her little feet to her face.

I picked up my daughter's little feet, kissed them gently, put them in the quilt again, and covered her tightly so that she could continue to sleep peacefully.

These two children have not been so honest in their sleep since they could turn over.

My son is okay, he just likes to sleep on his side every day.

But the daughter is like a crab.

Every morning Zhou Shujie woke up and saw that her appearance was not the same.

Either horizontally or vertically, and once even lost a direction to his head and feet.

Just because her daughter was not honest in sleeping, Zhou Shujie put a lot of insurance on her head, afraid that she would fall to the ground when she slept one day.

She watched the sleeping sweet child in the bed for a while.

I wanted to kiss them on the face, but I was afraid that it would disturb them, so I had to give up.

Getting up and getting dressed is an inevitable part of the day.

Lead the stove first, burn the wall of fire, and make a pot of water.

Wait for the water to boil up before washing yourself.

The difference today is that the casserole that Zhou Shujie bought yesterday was made on the stove by her, and millet was put in it and boiled slowly.

Zhou Shujie didn't want to eat too dry this morning.

I made soup with sauerkraut, mixed a piece of noodles, and made half a basin of knife-cut noodles.

The knife-cut noodles she makes are different from the ones sold on the market.

She didn't have the skill to cut the dough into thin strips of the same size.

The knife-cut noodles made by Zhou Shujie are different in thickness and shape, but they are surprisingly delicious.

I had breakfast with my mother-in-law, and I fed the two children rice soup until they fell asleep.

Zhou Shujie went out with confidence.

She went to Aunt Guo's house first and sent 20 apples and a pack of Tang to Aunt Guo's house.

also asked Aunt Guo to help her take a look at the child, she was afraid that the child would fall to the ground if she was not at home.

Zhou Shujie took Aunt Guo home together, left Aunt Guo'er, and took two gifts to the uncle and uncle's family.

It didn't take much time to get to the uncle's house, just said a few words, and went to the uncle's house with the gift.

As soon as she arrived at her uncle's house, Zhou Shujie felt that the silly smile on her second brother's face made people look very strange.

Put down the things and quietly ask the sister-in-law what's the matter?

Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't help but smile and said to Zhou Shujie: "Yesterday, my mother came back and said that the girl from the supply and marketing cooperatives is very beautiful. ”

After speaking, Sister-in-law Zhou spread her hands and said: "The second brother has become like this, he has been happy since yesterday until now." ”

Zhou Shujie stayed at the uncle's house for a while.

Listening to the discussion between the grandfather and the uncle, they said that after the New Year, they went to inquire about whose family the girl was?

Brother Tuesday was a little anxious, urging his father and his mother to ask him a year ago.

The monkey looked anxious, and the angry aunt scolded him again before stopping.

After returning home, Zhou Shujie couldn't help but be happy when she thought of her second brother's aggrieved expression that dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak!
