My plan for the 29th of the lunar month was originally to fry meatballs, fried tofu cubes, and fried yam, which are the main ingredients of Shanxi hot pot, and I have long wanted to eat steaming hot pot! But all morning, I was not in the kitchen, but at Liu Jia's mother's house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, I took a taxi for more than ten miles to get here. I know that if she is not at her mother-in-law's house, she must be at her mother's house, otherwise where can she go? I have to see her before the New Year, otherwise the New Year will be uneasy. Besides, we pay attention to the New Year here, and we don't go to the homes of people who have just held a funeral to pay New Year's greetings, and it is also inconvenient for them to go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. And within three years, the people who have done the funeral will not post Spring Festival couplets, happy words, and lanterns in front of the door to express their condolences to the deceased!

After not seeing Liu Jia for a few days, I almost didn't dare to recognize her, she was like having a serious illness, and her vitality was no longer there! She was curled up in bed, her hair unkempt, her face yellow, and her eyes filled with despair and fear!

"You have to pick yourself up, because there's a son." I advised her.

"Everything's gone, everything is gone!" Liu Jia just muttered and kept repeating this sentence in her mouth.

Liu Jia's mother, who had been sitting on the sidelines, told me what had happened: the house and car had been repaid, and the factory was about to be auctioned off by the court, because the bank had sued Wu Tian before he died, demanding that the bank loan be returned. In the end, what fell into Liu Jia's hands was only a little car accident compensation after paying Wu Tian's rescue expenses. Liu Jia didn't expect Wu Tian to take away all his property, but he didn't expect that he was in debt when his business was booming on the surface!

"But for the sake of the child, you have to be strong, don't be afraid, what is it to raise a child, don't our parents have several? Aren't they all raised? I'll help you, don't worry! "I kept cheering her up.

"Xiaoyan, how can this be? How so? Liu Jia cried.

"Are you going to keep asking questions like this? I tell you that there is no answer, fate is unpredictable! I said. I think my tone should be hard like this, or I won't be able to stop her tears.

"I know, but I'm going to have to slow down for a while, I can't just get up all at once."

"Yes, take a good rest for a while, you don't have to do anything in the first half of the year, just stay at home with your mother, and in the second half of the year, I will help you find a temporary job, and you can consider doing a small business or something when you have savings in the future."

"Okay."

Seeing that Liu Jia finally nodded to me, I stood up to say goodbye, but her mother insisted on keeping me to eat, and when I returned home from dinner at her house, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Tao and Yang Yang haven't come back yet, in the morning their father and son went to the hospital, Lu Tao said that my father-in-law was discharged from the hospital today. He once asked me to go with me, but I disobeyed him again and ran to Liu Jia's mother's house. I should pick up my father-in-law when he is discharged from the hospital, but I don't want to go to Liu Jia's house in the Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to prepare for the New Year, and people don't have time to receive me, and I don't have time to run out again.

As soon as I came back, I went into the kitchen, and I hope that Lu Tao will see the fruits of my labor when he returns, in exchange for a few good words from him. But the higher you demand of yourself, the greater your disappointment. The speed of my croquettes is quite fast, and in less than an hour, I have fried a full basin, but all the croquettes are black! I don't know if it's because of the fire or if it's been blown up for too long, but I don't know what Lu Tao's expression will be when he comes back and sees this. I admit that I have never fried meatballs by myself, and my mother-in-law and mother used to make them for me during the Chinese New Year, but now that I am a mother, I should learn to make them. I was very confident in myself, thinking that a croquette is nothing, isn't it just a mixture of minced meat and noodles, put some salt, stir and mix, knead into small balls and throw it into an oil pan? How did it come out of the pan and become a small briquette?

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Tao came back with Yangyang, he saw my fried balls, he was silent for a long time, and finally made the following comment: "I suggest you give these balls to your mother to eat, right?" How? Don't want to? I don't want to send my mom either! Shall we eat our own? Yangyang and I probably don't want to eat. Or maybe you're responsible for underwriting your own products, but I don't think you can eat that much alone! Let's do it, from tomorrow you put these balls on the street to sell, maybe you can sell a brand, and when your balls become famous, let's go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register a trademark, open a swift balls workshop, and when it becomes bigger, open a chain store, what do you think? ”

"I'll pump you!" I threw the pot brush at Lu Tao in a rage, "Usually you have a very stupid mouth, why are you so slippery today?" ”

"Seeing that your Kumaruko is inspired, so she becomes able to speak." Lu Tao, who ran into the bedroom, still didn't keep his mouth shut, and continued to play with me through the door.

"Mom, it's delicious!"

Oh no, if you don't pay attention, Xiao Yangyang under his feet has already eaten several black balls with his small hands.

"Baby, don't eat any more, you'll have a stomachache if you eat too much!" I quickly hugged Yang Yang to the living room, turned on the TV, and called up the children's channel to divert his attention.

Early the next morning, Lu Tao went to the door to paste the Spring Festival couplets, I fed Yangyang a bowl of steamed eggs, and began to adjust the dumpling filling, today I will wrap the dumplings to be eaten in the seven days of the New Year, from the beginning of the New Year, just enjoy the fun, every family is like this.

"Hurry up and get dressed and get ready to go, let's get my mother's side to work today, and we can't eat for nothing tomorrow, right?!" Lu Tao, who had finished pasting the Spring Festival couplets, came into the house and said to me.

"Isn't it the three of us celebrating the New Year?" I asked, surprised.

"You don't plan to go to my house for the New Year?" Lu Tao glared at me again.

"Just go over tomorrow to give your parents a New Year's greeting, the meal is still good at our house, your family is messy." I say.

"Why are you always different from others? Everyone is a big family to celebrate the New Year together, so you have to spend it alone, don't your younger brothers and they also spend the New Year with your parents? ”

"My brother and my parents used to live in the same yard, and of course they celebrated the New Year together."

"If you don't live in a yard, you won't celebrate the New Year together, and people who work in other places will come back to accompany the old people for the New Year, if you don't want to celebrate the New Year alone, I'll take Yangyang to it!"

After Lu Tao finished speaking, he took Yangyang's coat and put it on Yangyang, and then he was about to leave me and go to his mother.

"Wait, can't you?" I also hurriedly put on my coat and chased out.

It's not that I don't want to accompany the old man for the New Year, but I always feel uncomfortable at my mother-in-law's house, I always have to sit and sit, eat and eat, and I have to ensure that I don't burp or fart at the dinner table, anyway, I have to pay attention to every move, and I can't let go at all. That's better than going to the toilet in the middle of a meal at home, and you may come out and continue eating. Of course, you can't take into account your own feelings, honoring the elderly is the most basic moral code of life, I understand this, but does my mother-in-law like me to dangle in front of her eyes? Alas, there is no way, you have to face it if you like it or not, this is how it is when you get married, you have to accept another strange family and treat it as your own home.

The brother-in-law brought his girlfriend back, sitting in front of the TV like a distinguished guest watching TV, my mother-in-law poured a glass of water to drink for a while, peeled an apple for a while to eat, and I was chopping dumpling stuffing with a kitchen knife like a subordinate.

"Chop steadily, don't spill on the ground." My mother-in-law also commanded me from time to time.

When I was at my mother's house, my mother was willing to let me do these jobs, and I always waited for my mother to cook them directly. What is the purpose of marrying? Do you want to be a babysitter for the sake of volunteerism? To give birth to someone for free? Quarrel over three days? Can't you live alone? Lonely alone? If you're lonely, find a man to come and accompany you, and let him go if you don't need it, can't you? What the? Lonely when you get old alone? If you get married, you will not be lonely in your old age? Can you guarantee that the person you're looking for is the kind of person you're looking for? How many couples are there in the world? Am I too pessimistic? Are you sure?

"That's pretty much it, let's start packing!" As soon as my mother-in-law gave the order, I put the knife aside and moved the board over again, ready to make dumplings with my mother-in-law.

"I'm rolling your bag?" My mother-in-law looked at me and asked.

"Roll out the skin and I'll wrap it." I'm even less confident in rolling dumpling wrappers.

Of course, I make dumplings in terms of appearance and speed can not be compared with my mother-in-law, after a while, my mother-in-law rolled out the dumpling skin has a backlog of a lot, she had to stop to help me wrap for a while, when the progress catches up, she rolls again, and then wraps, and I just bury my head in making dumplings, so I wrap ten mother-in-law has to roll and wrap thirty dumplings.

"Look how stupid you are, the dumplings are so slow, and the dumplings are so ugly." I said a long time ago that Lu Tao's task is to find fault with me, and I married him probably so that he could check my shortcomings, otherwise he would not have progressed, right?

"Don't speak to those who don't work." I gave him a blank look.

Annoyingly, the Spring Festival Gala is not optimistic, on the eve of the first night on my mother-in-law's side, I cook dumplings for a while, wash dishes for a while, and when I return to my home, the Spring Festival Gala is already halfway through!

The ancients had the habit of keeping the New Year, and now people don't keep the New Year, but they can't sleep for a few hours, and the sound of firecrackers outside has not stopped from twelve o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve to the morning of the first day of the new year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when you go out to visit relatives and friends, you have to brave the thick toxic smoke to move forward. This is the Chinese New Year, full of gunpowder!

When the fireworks were set off in the Lantern Festival night city, Lu Tao and I took Yangyang out to watch, I thought that Yangyang would scream with joy when he saw the brilliant fireworks, but I didn't expect him to see the huge fireworks in the sky like a big umbrella down on him, but he timidly hid behind me, and then simply closed his eyes and didn't look at it, shouting to go home. Two-year-old Yang Yang can't feel the beauty of fireworks at all. Maybe the world in the eyes of a child is completely different from the world in the eyes of an adult, and what you think is beautiful is terrifying! Sometimes, adults really don't understand the world of children at all.

Fortunately, the lantern show is what Yangyang likes, especially those lanterns with people and animals that can move, which makes Yangyang happy. Last year's Spring Festival, Yangyang was only one year old and had no memory, and this Spring Festival may be the first Spring Festival in Yangyang's memory after that. (To be continued.) )
