Chapter 40: Fat Doll
Only then did Aunt Wang understand that the jujube cake she wanted was not for eating, but for offering, which was a symbol of auspiciousness and the meaning of giving birth to a noble son early.
That sounds pretty good, and if the daughter-in-law gets pregnant as soon as possible and gives birth to a big fat grandson, she will be happy.
However, this white flour and red dates are made, and it takes so much noodles to only be supplied, and Aunt Wang is still very distressed.
But thinking about how it is appropriate to marry a daughter-in-law this time in her life, so even if Aunt Wang is distressed, it is not unacceptable.
The other party is satisfied, and Gu'er's task today is completed.
She looked at the sky, it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and she said goodbye to Aunt Wang and walked back.
This is the first time since Gu'er came to the town by herself that she did not push a cart and went back.
She moved her shoulders and wrists as she walked, she hadn't done pasta for a long time, and she was really tired.
At night, Gu'er went to bed early, and the next day she went to the city and went directly to Aunt Wang's house.
Gu Er was busy making noodles at noon, and she made noodles at noon.
It's not difficult to scoop up the noodles, just pass the noodles through the water, and then put the finished noodles on top and eat them together, a bit like the noodles in other places.
Now there is nothing special in this season, and Gu'er uses leeks to make it.
Don't look at the leeks are very simple, but they still taste good, and they are also very popular with Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law's family.
After eating, Aunt Cheng came to look for Gu'er.
"Nier, you stop first, my aunt will tell you something."
Aunt Cheng lowered her voice and said to Gu'er.
"Auntie, you say."
Gu Er responded while making jujube cakes.
"Nier, can you make a few less of this little jujube cake, can Nier make a few different of this jujube cake?"
Aunt Cheng said her intention.
"How many less? Not the same? ”
Gu Er frowned slightly, she didn't understand what the other party meant, the other party asked her to make a few different things, was it to make them dissatisfied with their jujube cakes, and their mother's family wanted to embarrass their mother-in-law's family? But if he listens to his mother's family, and when the time comes, they will embarrass Aunt Wang, who will take his salary?
Besides, I only came to make jujube cakes, not to participate in the fight between my mother-in-law and my mother's family, I just need to do my part.
"Nier, I don't hide it from you, I want you to pinch a few big fat boy's jujube cakes, originally I asked my Huaer Nier and her mother-in-law to steam the jujube cake to embarrass her mother-in-law, thinking that she would be better to me Huaer Nier in the future, but I didn't expect her mother-in-law to invite you, these two days I saw that Nier is a capable person, so I came to tell Nier, I originally saw that you are a big girl and you are not good, but if it is not good, I am afraid that Nier will misunderstand, it is like this, I Huaer Nier and her mother are difficult to conceive a child, I want to give me a good omen for Huaer Nier, You pinch a few big fat dolls' jujube cakes for her, maybe I'll be pregnant with Nieer. ”
Aunt Cheng kept her voice very low, for fear that someone would hear her.
Gu Er understood, this Aunt Cheng was saying that Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law's maiden mother was not pregnant, and she was also afraid that Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law would not be pregnant, so she asked herself to pinch a few big fat doll jujube cakes for her to make a good omen.
Gu'er can understand the thoughts and practices of her aunt, although she is a little superstitious, but her intentions are good.
Doing so is not harmful to either the mother-in-law or the in-laws.
"Zhong, auntie, don't worry, I'll pinch a few fat dolls."
Gu'er nodded in agreement.
"What does Nil think? I'm thanking Nier, Nier, don't blame me for telling you this, I also feel sorry for my flower Nier. ”
Aunt Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu'er's promise, and there was a smile on her face.
"What is the politeness of the aunt, the aunt is for Sister Hua'er, and the aunt is kind."
Gu Er blushed slightly, it is said that she should be shy when she hears these at her age, but Gu Er is too shy, and even thinks of the child, she feels like someone is pricking her heart with a needle, she doesn't dare to think about it, she is afraid of bleeding.
"Nier is fine, then I'll go out, Nier, you do it well."
Aunt Cheng praised Gu'er, and then went out.
After a while, Aunt Wang came in, and she gossiped with Gu'er while watching Gu'er make jujube cakes.
Gu Er didn't care at first, and answered casually, but after listening to it for a while, she understood that this Aunt Wang was tricking her, and wanted to ask Aunt Cheng what she said to her, but she was embarrassed to ask, so she was talking to herself.
"Auntie, do you think this looks good?"
Gu Er showed her pinched shape to Aunt Wang.
"This? Is this a big fat doll? It's not jujube cake, is it? ”
Aunt Wang looked at it with some surprise. This is like a fat doll on a New Year's painting, she has never heard of such a date cake.
"Actually, Aunt Cheng just came over and told me to let me make two of these jujube cakes, she wanted to be a good omen, and wanted her aunt to hold her grandson as soon as possible."
Gu Er didn't hide it, and said what Aunt Cheng meant, it's not something that can't be said, and when she says it, Aunt Wang has no estrangement in her heart, otherwise if she keeps thinking about it in her heart, it will not be good for her daughter-in-law.
As for Aunt Wang's saying that this is a jujube cake, Gu Er avoided answering, to say that this big fat doll is more like a noodle person, but this thing, some people are willing to classify it carefully, and some people are willing to put it together, no matter what it is, the mother's family and the mother-in-law's family like it.
"That's the case, you said that you became an aunt, what's not to say, it's a good thing."
The corners of Aunt Wang's eyes and eyebrows are full of smiles, this can be said to her heart, the mother's family originally meant this, great, now it seems that the daughter-in-law's family is also good, and she will be better to her daughter-in-law in the future.
Gu Er made a few fat dolls, plus the nine small jujube cakes she originally made, there was more.
"Auntie, there are a few more of these."
Gu'er pointed, she didn't want to be a doll at first.
"It's okay, it's okay, more is more. This doll you pinched so well. If your sister-in-law can really give me a big fat grandson, my aunt has to thank you. ”
Aunt Wang doesn't care too much, the big head is spent, and she doesn't care about this little one, and besides, this fat and pinched is good, vivid, she is too late to be happy, she thinks that she will be able to grow her face when the time comes, and her daughter-in-law may really be able to conceive soon, so she is not a pity for this.
"Okay, then I'll steam."
Gu Er saw that Aunt Wang really didn't pay too much attention to it, so she was relieved.
After the little jujube cake and the fat doll were steamed, Gu'er got up the pot and put it on the board to cool.
Aunt Cheng led a woman in her thirties to come and see, the two of them chattered a lot, and they were very satisfied, Aunt Wang looked at the fat doll and smiled from ear to ear, Gu'er knew that they were all satisfied, so their wages should be fine.
