Children, children, don't be greedy, it's the New Year after Laba. Laba porridge, after a few days, Lili Lala twenty-three. Twenty-three, sacrifice to the king of the stove, twenty-four, sweep the house, twenty-five, make tofu, twenty-six, go to cut meat, twenty-seven, slaughter the New Year's chicken, twenty-eight, put the noodles and hair, twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns, stay up for a night on the thirtieth night, twist and twist on the first day of the new year.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, according to custom, the biggest thing for the Wang family today is to steam out all the steamed buns to be eaten during the New Year. This kind of thing will definitely not work on Cuilian alone, and as the sons of the Wang family, the two brothers Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianshe will also rush back to Qinghegou Village today at the latest and return to the Wang family for the New Year. However, Wang Jianjun's house was in the commune, close to Qinghegou Village, so the family arrived in the morning. Therefore, with the help of her sister-in-law, Cuilian gave a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, you can rest for a while, I'll come." Cuilian hugged a bundle of firewood to the stove room, and saw her sister-in-law Li Xiuhua kneading dough. Although the Wang family was rich in the village, they couldn't afford to eat all white noodles. Therefore, even if it is the Chinese New Year, the noodles of steamed buns at this time are also mixed with cornmeal. However, relatively speaking, the proportion of white flour is much higher than that of other households.

"No, I still have the strength to do this, second brother and sister, you help me wash out the board and cut the steamed buns in a while." Li Xiuhua was sweating, but she didn't delay the movements of her hands at all. In the past, when the second child did not marry a daughter-in-law, and the mother was not in good health, the operation of the New Year's Festival in this family was all the business of her eldest daughter-in-law. So, she does these things skillfully and quickly. If you don't think that this is Cuilian's first year in the Wang family, these things should also be handled by her, the daughter-in-law in charge, and she should have come back a few days earlier.

"Okay, then try the steamed buns of my sister-in-law." Seeing that the sister-in-law was not polite, she didn't stop it, obeyed the instructions of the sister-in-law, and washed out the board that she usually doesn't use for the sister-in-law's use. She's also tired in the past few days, so let's hide if you can. Then she'll have to be busy.

"Sister-in-law, when will they arrive? Shall we take care of their meals at noon? "Look at this point in time, it's almost past ten o'clock in the morning, and Tie Dan'er has already pasted the Spring Festival couplets at the gate of the compound, and it's time to make lunch.

"Don't wait for them, they usually come back for dinner." Speaking of the third brother Wang Jianjian's family, Li Xiuhua pouted. The son of that family, the third brother is more reliable, the third brother and sister, when they come back, they are not disgusted, they are from the city. In other words, you look down on rural people, what are you doing when you marry rural people, hum, you dislike rural things, what do you do with so much every time you leave? It's really a biaozi who wants to set up a memorial arch.

"Okay, I'll go to the cabbage in the cellar first, and we'll eat the cabbage pie at noon today." Cuilian pretended not to see her sister-in-law's expression, she didn't have any impression of the third brother and sister who had met twice, but she had a deep impression of the old lady in their family.

"You are the daughter-in-law of the house, you are in charge. However, I heard the big girl say, your craftsmanship is very good, if it weren't for the shortage of rations now, I'm afraid that the taste is too good and eat more food, I'm afraid you will have to get a full banquet for the Manchurians. Speaking of Cuilian's craftsmanship, Li Xiuhua has been yearning for a long time.

When her mother-in-law Wang Zhao passed away, in the days when she came back, Cuilian cooked, and the things she made were better than what she cooked, and the amount of food was a little better than before. Later, the eldest girl lived in the village for so long, not only learned some weaving skills, but also learned some cooking skills. I heard the eldest girl say, she, the second aunt, if it weren't for the limited conditions, she could still make something more delicious.

Speaking of this, Cuilian also felt that the ghost life of the past few hundred years had not been in vain. Although she was just an authentic peasant woman before she died, in terms of personal skills, she could still get that bit of needlework, and she really couldn't do it when it came to cooking. If it weren't for the fact that when the ghost lived, there was a hidden imperial chef in the place where he was, and the things made by that person were so delicious that even she, an old ghost, could have attracted them, and she wouldn't have learned from them when this old imperial chef taught her apprentices.

Therefore, she felt that her rebirth must be destined by heaven. Perhaps, in the future, she will not only be able to make a career with her needlework, but also the cooking skills she learned from the imperial chef can bring her a lot of skills. The so-called people take food as the sky, even if the current environment makes her a clever daughter-in-law have no rice to cook, it does not mean that she can't in the future. Her plan is to go to the city to open her own restaurant during the reform and opening up, so as to gather capital. Of course, her weaving and embroidery can also earn capital for her, but when the reform and opening up was just now, people's lives were still in a warm stage, and it was not yet time for high-level pursuits. It's okay to make some pop clothes with a little Hong Kong flavor, but for the rest, I'm afraid it's still early. However, if it's just a drawing and a garment factory to work with, it's okay.

Although these years have been full of Cuilian's brain, for real time, it is just the time when Cuilian went to the cellar to get a cabbage. Her current plan can only be called a plan, everything has to wait until the spring is full of breath, and now she can only teach her husband and children at home, weave and weave cloth in her spare time, and change some other urgently needed daily necessities or something in private.

Of course, Cuilian doesn't know now that her current life is not long. Because Guo Hongjun has quietly taken over a lot of business for her, after the New Year, when the spring flowers bloom, that is, when her textile career officially started.

"Mom, I want to play with my brother and them, but my brother and they don't take me to play." Xiaoya is now completely as lively and active as an eight or nine-year-old girl, and she especially likes to be spoiled by Cuilian.

"Isn't it good to play with the eldest sister and the second sister? In the afternoon, the third uncle's sister also returned. Touching Xiaoya's head, Cuilian was very happy that Xiaoya could be so cheerful, sure enough, the child still has to have a mother.

"But, I want to set off firecrackers too." The little girl pouted, she was not very happy to play with the eldest sister and the second sister, the eldest sister and the second sister didn't like to take her, and the fourth sister hadn't come back yet. And she doesn't like to play with the fourth sister, the fourth sister is stingy, she doesn't want to play with her if she has good things, and she always wants to rob her.

"Xiaoya, firecrackers are very dangerous, you are still young, it is best not to touch your hands. Why don't you just go on the side and see how they go? Cuilian was a little embarrassed, firecrackers, although many children were playing, but she still didn't want Xiaoya to touch, after all, it was very dangerous, not like more than 20 years later, full of tricks, and it didn't seem dangerous. Moreover, she wants to train Xiaoya to become a new generation of ladies. After seeing enough of the actions of the so-called new generation of women in later generations, she still doesn't feel cold, and still thinks that girls should be gentle and graceful, so that they can be liked and loved by men.

"But, but, Mom, isn't this the New Year? With all my new clothes on, it's time to set off firecrackers. Xiaoya touched her new clothes, because her grandmother passed away this year, and she couldn't wear red clothes like other peers, so her new clothes were blue.

"That's even worse, the new clothes just put on, don't be burned, go and watch my brother put them away, mom still has to cook." After a few words to send the little girl away, Cuilian saw Daddy Wang take her eldest brother and Wang Jianguo into the courtyard.
