023 Chinese New Year
What did she say that day, Li Xianglu never asked the answer, and said that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she vaguely felt that this matter definitely had something to do with her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But it's useless to think about this, the literacy class will end before the Chinese New Year, and there will be a small exam, and everyone will have to pay a five-cent test paper fee.
When he went to Jigu Commune in mid-October, Li Jian cleared the money to buy a diary and a pencil and left two yuan, so needless to say, he paid the exam fee properly.
Li Xianglu asked curiously: "A-Niang didn't leave?" ”
Li Jianqing said with a smile: "Of course I have to accept it, I don't want to give it, I said it was all spent." ”
Li Xianglu looked at the third brother with some amusement, the exam is coming soon, she has to hurry up and review Li Jianqing, and the junior high school in the township will also enroll students in April next year, Li Jianqing is going to junior high school, at present, these studies are not enough, and she will borrow some textbooks to come back and make up for mathematics alone.
This year's Lunar New Year is early, and the New Year's Day arrives in a few days, and the people of Guanzhong attach great importance to the New Year.
The twenty-third day of the month is a new society, and those New Year's rules are feudal superstitions, which cannot be believed, nor can they be made in front of people, so each family is careful and sneaky to put incense on the stove at home, and quickly withdraw after a simple offering.
Twenty-three after the New Year, at this time the material conditions are too poor, croquettes, fried lotus slices or something don't think about it, the family conditions are better, will be steamed in the New Year, the so-called yellow bun is millet with some white flour fermentation, sandwiched in the middle of the bean paste or brown sugar made.
The yellow, orange and orange are exceptionally sweet, this is not something that anyone can eat, the Lijia Village Brigade can only eat from those families, and this year's Li Erfu's house also steamed a pot, which was personally operated by Ge Sanmei.
Li Xianglu watched carefully from the side, she had never eaten the steamed buns made of millet noodles in her previous life, especially when steamed, the sweet taste of the room filled the room made people's entire taste buds secrete saliva, and they couldn't help but swallow.
Li Jianqing was also curious, why did he steam yellow buns at home this year, and watched curiously in the stove room, An Cuicui even held the child and never left the stove for a moment.
There are twenty yellow buns in a pot, and a red date is added to each one, which was borrowed by Ge Sanmei who drove twenty miles to her mother's house, so she borrowed twenty, not much one.
The yellow bun is steamed, exuding the unique sweetness of millet and the fragrance of red dates, the whole stove room is filled with fragrant steam, An Cuicui's voice said anxiously: "Auntie, why are you putting it all away, give me some, I'm cold and just fed a little, this child can eat something recently, this hasn't eaten such a good thing." ”
Li Xianglu and Li Jianqing were already standing outside the stove room at this time, and they didn't hear the angry scolding unexpectedly, and after a while, they saw An Cuicui holding a bowl in her arms and just running to her cave, as if she was afraid that someone would catch up and grab her things.
Li Xianglu shook her head and was about to leave, when she heard Ge Sanmei say: "San'er, Xiangya come in, this one of you two will be divided, one of you will eat some, and the rest will be kept as gifts, the family is poor, and that's it." The rare explanation made both of them slightly surprised, Li Jianqing is the indigenous son of Ge Sanmei, and immediately went in with a smile, dragging a yellow, orange and orange bun the size of an adult man out in his hand.
I didn't care about the hot and broke it directly, half of it was big and half of it was small, and I didn't hesitate to give the big half to my sister, and I quickly took a bite of the small half in my hand.
Li Xianglu took it with a smile, did not eat it directly, but broke half of it again, at this time Li Erfu was sitting on the kang in the cave in the east and smoking, seeing that his daughter smiled and handed him a small half of the yellow steamed bun without refusing to take it and took a bite, it was very sweet, and he was in a good mood when he saw that the two children were also sweet.
Recently, the old woman has been much better to her daughter, and this situation makes Li Erfu, an honest rural man, very happy, and can't help but give her the few dollars he secretly hidden, but the old woman's face is not very good-looking, I'm afraid she blames herself for hiding money in private.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Erfu's family prepared dumplings, mutton and carrots, which is a custom in the north of Guanzhong, and no matter how difficult the conditions are, you have to eat dumplings.
The dumplings in the northern part of Guanzhong are generally white dough, yellow radish, mutton filling, like ingots, so the locals call eating dumplings ingots, hoping to attract wealth and enter the treasure.
In normal years, when kneading dumplings, there is a custom of deliberately wrapping coins in the meat filling to predict whether the year will be blessed. If anyone eats dumplings with copper coins, it means that the door to wealth is wide open and auspicious for a year.
Of course, there will also be a few pure meat, if anyone eats dumplings wrapped in meat filling, it means a good year of good taste and food.
However, in these years, these customs have become old customs, four old, and they can no longer do this, otherwise they will become bad elements.
Li Erfu's family is also a dumpling of mutton and carrots on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is wrapped and brought to the house of Uncle Li Dafu to cook and eat together, this year, the conditions are poor, go to a relative and bring rations, not to mention the New Year, a large family, a large population, can not afford to eat in anyone's house, it is better to take each and eat together.
However, this year, Liu Aidang is a little depressed, in previous years, in order to save food, this concubine always made dumplings every time the year was not enough, the old Li family is particular, no matter what, the juniors must have a full meal in the next year, so they can only secretly prepare more when they are depressed, otherwise the second family has four men, three women, and seven mouths, who is enough to eat that dumpling, and if you don't eat well, your mother-in-law will blame herself for not being able to do things.
But this year is really strange, the second family actually brought at least thirty big dumplings from each person, what is the situation, this third sister Ge is really sexual?
Liu Aidang doesn't believe it, this cow is still a cow when it is pulled to the capital, it can't become a wolf, right?
A stingy Ge Sanmei suddenly became a tolerant and generous woman, how could this be impossible, unless?
Unless she has something to hide from everyone?
But there's really nothing going on lately.
Seventy-four years have arrived, lying on the warm kang, Li Xianglu listened to the sound of firecrackers in the production team, and her mood improved a little, the times are about to change, and she is gradually growing up, and the recent days are still quite good, is it not long before she can control her own life independently?
I hope so.
