After being reborn, Li Ruoyu is determined to be a different version of himself and take a different path in life! Not only does he want to start over in his career, but he also wants his parents to live a happy old age, and this time he will not let his parents suffer anymore no matter what. In her previous life, if her mother had been able to relieve her burden earlier, and then hire the best doctor to do the best recuperation, although she still could not completely cure her illness, she would certainly be able to prolong her life, and how good it would have been for such a family to live happily together! Li Ruoyu no longer wanted to feel the pain of losing his loved ones, and he was finally reborn, and he wanted to change his life and change his family.

This year is the Year of the Horse in the lunar calendar, which means that the horse will succeed and it will be a good year. On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ruoyu finally got better, and when he woke up early in the morning, he found that he was full of strength, not at all as weak as he was in the previous two days, cold and hot. I don't know if all reborn people will encounter this situation, God won't stop if he doesn't get sick, maybe this is the price paid for rebirth, but this price is really worth it, and now it's so beautiful.

In the early 90s, the rural areas of Rongzhou were still very poor, but people were not sloppy about the Spring Festival, almost every family would raise a big fat pig, which would be slaughtered in the wax moon, and then made into bacon and sausages. At this time, the pork is really fragrant, and the food of these big fat pigs does not add a little feed and additives, and is completely raised with grains such as cereal, bran, sweet potatoes, and pigweed that the farmers have worked hard to cut. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least six or seven months for these fat pigs to grow to 200 catties, and some even raise them for a year, so that they can grow to 300 catties. And the pigs of later generations are not like this, generally three or four months on the fat, feed are feed, of course, the pork is not fragrant, and the pork at this time is simply slag, so the so-called pure grain raised out of the local pork in later generations, even sold to more than three times the price of ordinary pork, but still not as good as the genuine local pork at this time.

Li Ruoyu got up early in the morning and smelled a burst of fragrance, he sniffed carefully, well, that's right! It's a long-lost smell! This is his mother cooking sausages, and these fragrances are wafting from the kitchen! Li Ruoyu suddenly wet his eyes with tears again, this must be his mother saw that he hadn't eaten anything for two days, and he was afraid that he would be hungry, so when he made it in the morning, he cooked the sausages. These sausages are made from fatty pork that has been raised by their own family for more than half a year, and the seasoning for mixing the sausages is also made of peppercorns, star anise, sesame oil and other materials bought from the market, or home-grown chili peppers and other materials, so they smell very fragrant, completely different from those industrial sausages made in later generations.

Li Ruoyu has been very fond of eating sausages and bacon since he was a child, of course, it can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, so when he smelled this fragrance that he hadn't smelled for many years, Li Ruoyu's stomach suddenly gurgled, and he didn't eat anything for two days, and his stomach began to sing empty city plans.

Li Ruoyu hurriedly ran to the kitchen, he also wanted to let his mother know as soon as possible that he was fine, so as not to worry his mother. The kitchen is next to the main house of the Li family, sitting west to east, and it is a matter of more than a dozen steps to walk over. Li Ruoyu remembers that when he was a child, he would get up early to help his mother cook, but when he was a child, he could only help his mother make fires, because the countryside used firewood stoves, and the fuel used was the stems and leaves of various crops such as wheat stalks and corn stalks, as well as dead bamboo and bamboo leaves. These materials have a lot of smoke when they burn, so they can't be burned well without considerable technology, and they may even go out, and of course the kitchen is always full of this smoke, which is very choking.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw a smoky figure busy with smoke, adding firewood to the stove and turning the cabbage in the pot with a spatula. Li Ruoyu smelled a choking smell of chili peppers, coupled with the smoke from the incomplete burning of the firewood, and suddenly sneezed a few times, choking tears and almost flowing tears.

Mother Huang Shuying saw her son who had been lying for two or three days running to the kitchen early in the morning, and guessed that his fever should go down and his body was back to normal, so she hurriedly stepped to Li Ruoyu's side in two steps, patted Li Ruoyu's back vigorously, and said loudly: "Dawa, is you well? ”

Li Ruoyu was slapped a few times by his mother, and suddenly felt much better, he looked at the pot and said hurriedly: "Mom, I'm fine, you hurry up and turn over the dishes in the pot, it's almost mushy!"

Huang Shuying reacted at this time, and moved to the front of the stove in two steps, and quickly turned over the cabbage in the pot with a spatula, she also smelled a paste smell now, and when she turned over the cabbage leaves at the bottom of the pot, she found that the vegetable leaves below were really pasty, and quickly turned a few times, Huang Shuying turned her head and said to Li Ruoyu: "Big baby, it's okay! By the way, I cooked two sausages this morning, and it's almost cold now, so if you're okay, cut it up, and I'll be ready for breakfast soon. ”

Li Ruoyu couldn't help but sigh for a while, her mother is so simple, this is also the true color of thousands of Chinese farmers, if you change the city people, this cabbage, that is, the lotus white in the mother's mouth, probably don't want it, and the rural people are very "pity", light yì will not waste a little food or vegetables, even if it looks a little rotten vegetables, the farmers are reluctant to throw it away, because this is all they have worked hard to grow. Only when you have really stayed in the countryside can you realize the true meaning of "who knows that Chinese food is hard work".

Li Ruoyu also began to walk to the stove and cut the sausage, not to mention, this knife cut down, the sausage flowed out of some sesame oil, and the fragrance in the air was even stronger, so greedy that Li Ruoyu swallowed his saliva violently, and while his mother didn't pay attention, he hurriedly picked up a piece and sent it to his mouth. When a piece of sausage is entered, the taste instantly permeates the whole body, not to mention how delicious it is, and what Li Ruoyu doesn't know is that his mother Huang Shuying has already seen the scene of him stealing sausages, and she is secretly having fun on the side!

Seeing her son cutting sausages and stealing a piece of sausage with relish, Huang Shuying's heart also blossomed, it seems that her baby son is really fine, this kid has learned to run to the kitchen since he was a child to steal sausages and bacon that have not yet been served, and he has not changed it yet!

After a while, a large plate of sliced sausages was served on the table, and the pot of cabbage that was a little mushy was also cooked, and the family's breakfast was just these two dishes. The mother took out four bucket bowls from the cupboard and filled them with hot sweet potato porridge, which were much larger than the small bowls of gold rim used by the people in the city.

Huang Shuying said to Li Ruoyu while serving rice: "Big baby, go and wake up your father and your grandmother for breakfast." It's not too early, you have to kill the chickens and fish after breakfast, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and you have to sacrifice the Bodhisattva. ”

Li Ruoyu answered, and then turned around to call his father and grandmother to get up. Fathers and grandmothers usually wake up late, and usually the mother makes breakfast and calls them herself, and this has been the case for more than ten years.

In the rural areas of Rongzhou, every New Year's festival, it is necessary to use offerings such as chickens, ducks, and fish to worship ancestors, as well as a god such as God, the Lord of the Stove, and the Lord of Pigs, and to burn incense and burn paper to make a pray, and pray with the most pious heart for these gods to bless the family without illness and disaster, and to bless the coming year with good weather and rain, abundant grains, and prosperous livestock. Even gods like the Lord of the Stove have not been omitted, maybe it looks a bit like engaging in superstitious activities, but in fact it is different from superstition, this should be regarded as a kind of sacrifice, and it is a custom that the people of all ethnic groups in China have in all dynasties, but in different forms.

After washing the hot water for the family, they sat down together and started breakfast.

Li Ruoyu's grandmother and father were also very happy, and they all smiled heartily when they saw Li Ruoyu gobbling up. In the past two days, they are all worried about Li Ruoyu's high fever that does not go away, it seems that it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, if it is said that the first day of the new year is still sick, it is a very bad omen in the countryside, indicating that this person and this family will not be good this year, and now Li Ruoyu is finally well before the first day of the new year, how can the family be unhappy!

Grandma, father and mother kept putting vegetables into Li Ruoyu's bowl, which really made Li Ruoyu, who has a middle-aged soul, feel ashamed, in this family, he is the treasure of the elders, no matter what is delicious, the first thing that grandma and parents think of is themselves, Li Ruoyu's heart is warm. He must protect this family, he must use his ability to let the people in the family live a good life, today is a new day for Li Ruoyu, because this is the first day after his high fever subsides, from today even if he really gets a new life, a different life path still needs him to break through!
