Chapter 54: All Arrested
What a joke, will the million-strong army of Qi lose the battle when it goes south?
There are not many people who believe this, and they can live their lives as they should.
However, there are still careful people who are tightening their belts more and more to live, saving grain, saving grain, saving grain, and saving grain, even if they have been very saving before, lest one day the court suddenly have to collect more grain or silver, and then they will have to sell their children and daughters if they can't hand it over.
With such a fear of entering the twentieth month of the lunar month, there are still ten days before the New Year, every household in Puyang Town began to steam dumplings, and the Dai family was no exception, and the tension finally dissipated in the busy and festive atmosphere.
This is not located on the east kang of the fire, Sun poured a large pot of black noodles on the panel, and the hard side couldn't be pressed at all, so Sun asked Brother Xian to bring a rolling pin with thick arms, and let Dai Shuanghong and Dai Shuanglin sisters press the noodles one by one.
The two sisters did not have much strength, so they could only press down their whole body weight like playing on a seesaw, so that when the dough was evenly pressed, the sisters wearing the same style of cotton jackets and cotton pants were so tired that the tips of their noses were sweating.
After the dough was pressed, Sun took over, and cut the large ball of noodles with a knife to the size of a palm, so that the two sisters of the Dai family, who had not yet taken a breath, had to start kneading the dough by hand, until the dough was smooth and tender, and then handed it to Sun to round and make a round dumpling of the same size and put it on the kang head, cover it with a thin clip and slowly wake up.
"It would be nice if Brother Ge was here......"
The mountain-like dough in front of him made Dai Shuanglin, who had a sore arm, couldn't help but sigh, and their family turned around a few times to look down, and the future brother-in-law Ge Dongyong had the greatest strength, if there was that big guy, maybe there would be no need for the two sisters to play seesaw at all.
Speaking of Ge Dongyong, Dai Shuanghong inevitably blushed, but this is her last year in the Dai family, and she always disliked her sister in the past, but now she wishes Dai Shuanglin would say a few more words.
"Why don't you go to Ge's house and have a look? If you, Aunt Ge and Brother Ge, are not busy, you can invite someone to come and eat dumplings at home at night......" Sun told Brother Xian not to delay his work while rolling the dough in his hands.
When Sun said this, he also knew that the Ge family was not busy.
The Ge family is from the south, and the customs of the New Year there are not as cumbersome as those in the north, and the glutinous rice dumplings and sticky cakes that the people in the south eat during the New Year are unheard of in a small place like them, so the mother and son of the Ge family only steam a few steamed buns casually every year, and simply make a few small dishes even if they are New Year, anyway, there is no relative in the family.
Brother Xian's legs are very fast, and after putting on a big cotton jacket and covering his ears, he disappeared for a while, and after a while, he helped Yao into the courtyard with Ge Dongyong, and shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he entered the door: "Daddy, eldest sister and second sister, Aunt Ge and Brother Ge are here."
"Ouch, Rare Guest!" Sun, who was busy with his work, slapped his hands on the powder and hurriedly got off the ground, and when he walked to the main field, he just saw Yao enter the door, Sun looked very happy, and smiled very heartily: "I can invite you here today, our virtuous brother can finally do it once, quickly, go to the inner kang and sit on the kang, warm up." ”
"Look at what you said, I don't like Brother Xian, this child, unlike our family, Dongyong blushes at every turn, hehe......" Yao, who was a little restrained, was also happy when he saw that Sun was so enthusiastic.
Ge Dongyong saw the stitches and called his aunt, Sun nodded happily, and pulled Yao to prepare to enter the house.
When Dai Xiangen came out to call him "mother-in-law", Yao was not in a hurry, and greeted Dai Xiangen generously and decently.
"Hehe, my mother-in-law is too polite, we can't do this, my mother-in-law is free" Dai Xiangen still can't adapt to Yao's style, but I heard the child's mother say that Yao's family conditions were good before he left the cabinet, and he was separated from his family in the war, so Ge Dongyong and his father picked up a big bargain.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Dai Xiangen's words, the Yao family was extremely satisfied in his heart, and there was no more reasonable in-law than the Dai family.
Yao's heart understands that the Dai family is paving the way for Sister Hong, and they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, or what will they compare with others?
"Auntie"
Dai Shuanghong and Dai Shuanglin greeted each other and called people, but Dai Shuanglin's voice was loud, and Dai Shuanghong laughed before saying a word.
"Good boy" Yao nodded with a smile in response, this Dai family sister stood in front of herself, a person like a shallot, it can simply make people dazzled.
Especially the daughter-in-law who is about to enter the door, her skin is so white that she can pinch out the water, no wonder the stupid son thinks about it all day long, and he steals the fun alone when he has nothing to do.
As soon as there were many people, the Dai family's kang seemed a little crowded, so Dai Xiangen took Ge Dongyong and Brother Xian to talk on the kang in the east, leaving a few women to work in the east.
When the dumplings on the panel were halfway done, the dumplings that were made at the beginning had already woken up, and Sun asked Dai Shuanghong to light the fire.
Lighting a fire is a boring job, and after wearing a pair of red fires, he took a pair of unfinished cotton shoes and pricked a few stitches while watching the fire.
Dai Shuanglin couldn't stand it anymore, and took advantage of the gap between Sun's teaching Yao's to make dumplings, sneaked to Dai Shuanghong's side and whispered: "What needlework do you do with your fire?" You let the eldest lady see it like this, and you have to die when you marry into the Ge family? ”
"As far as you are fine, the Ge family is different from the Gu family, there are so many jobs in total, who will do it if I don't do it?" Dai Shuanghong knew what Dai Shuanglin meant, but the two sisters married from different families.
The Gu family has a demon Xiao Chen, if Sister Lin has no heart at all, she may be bullied by Xiao Chen.
And the Ge family has a total of two people, plus she is only three people, the Yao family is an elder, whether she does it or not depends on her mood, how can she care about these things if she is a junior.
Dai Shuanglin was hit by her sister's words, don't want it, this is the advantage of being an only child!
For a while, Dai Shuanglin was a little depressed, but although Xiao Chen was a little smart, she was not bad at Dai Shuanglin, and it was not certain who would kill the deer, so what was there to worry about.
"Worried?" Dai Shuanghong stopped the needlework and saw that Sister Lin was unhappy, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law Chen is just able to calculate, can she be counted as Brother Min'er?" From childhood to adulthood, except for our mother occasionally cleaning you up, do you think about who you have been bullied by? It's not all Brother Min'er who blocked it back for you. ”
"Oh, do you want to say it so clearly", so that she can be embarrassed by the person who wears this fetus.
It's just that Dai Shuanghong's words reminded Dai Shuanglin, thinking that after coming back this time, Gu Xiaomin was indifferent and disgusted with Xiao Chen's family, and he couldn't help but be full of confidence at the same time, isn't there a saying "Husband and wife work together to break gold"? Hmph, if Xiao Chen dares to provoke her, she will let her suffer and not be able to speak, and Gu Xiaomin will not want to stop her.
"Huh"
Dai Shuanghong saw that Sister Lin's eyes kept rolling, shaking her head for a while, her eyes lit up for a while, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when she was bullied by the two of them when she was a child.
Hey, if she has a younger brother and sister like Sister Lin in the future, she will definitely be the eldest sister-in-law, and she will never expect to play any prestige as the eldest sister-in-law.
At this time, Ge Dongyong was talking to Dai Xiangen about the new things he saw in the county seat yesterday, "The government not only closed all the grain shops in the county, but also arrested all the owners of several grain shops, and the crime was 'attempting rebellion'."
God, this is a crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan! Thinking of the Du family who opened the grain store, Dai Xiangen couldn't sit still.
