Chapter 60: Laba

Splendid is not uncommon in the town's Zhang family's marriage proposal, and also ridiculed and ridiculed his father, which is a big blow to the entire Feng family, Feng Jin, who has been high and self-promising for half his life, was angry, and the old man Feng was disappointed, and Feng Taohua was in a mood that sank to the bottom because he couldn't live in the new house.

And the really sad thing is actually Xiao Liang's.

I thought that it would be nine out of ten, but I didn't expect that there would be variables, the pride of Jinxiu was something she and Feng Jin couldn't imagine, the Zhang family had such good conditions, and Zhang Ruiwen was such a handsome and promising son, Jinxiu didn't take it seriously!

To have such confidence and courage shows that Jinxiu has really saved a lot of wealth!

I can't eat the fat meat in my mouth, and the gold ingots I started are lost, which is the most unwilling! When Xiao Liang thought of Tian's new house, the big pearls dangling from the sideburns, the warm and soft cotton jacket and pants, and the thick-soled lambskin boots under his feet made a soft noise when he stepped on the snowdrift...... There are also the new and beautiful dresses on the splendid sisters, the cotton in the room, thick cushions, and a large stack of colorful thick and soft quilts...... Xiao Liang covered his chest, and he had to take a few long breaths to relieve a tight heartache!

God knows, she dreamed of having these goodies!

Since following Feng Jin, Feng Jin has treated her really well, she has earned some silver outside over the years, all of which is held by her, she and the child should have been able to eat better and dress brighter, but her mother's brother does not grow up and has no income, and her mother always has to find her to get silver every year, just like a bottomless pit, she can't fill it no matter how she fills it! I had no choice but to be as frugal as possible and save money to subsidize my mother's family!

In this way, there is not much silver in her hands, she has to be careful to get by, and it is difficult to be extravagant! Fortunately, Feng Jin didn't say anything about her, the life of a family of four is dull but also happy and worry-free, more than the upper is more than the bottom, she has to plan well: Feng Jin will be able to save a sum of money if he sits in the museum for another year, and he will be able to calmly deal with the township test when he quits the museum next fall, and after winning the move, the life of a family of four will only be better!

But I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, Feng Jin fell out of the wind and cold when he was drunk, and he couldn't do it if he sat in the hall, and there was nowhere to go to the silver!

Xiao Liang's perennial follow Feng Jin outside, on weekdays Feng Jin will take her to a wedding banquet or something, classmates and friends visit, she also occasionally hides in the back room to eavesdrop on their conversation, vision and various cognitions are there, she understands in her heart: Feng Jin is just a showman, powerless, can do nothing more than teach and Mr. Tent and the like, but now that the New Year is approaching, and it is in the township, it is not so easy to find errands to do! So, at least until the beginning of February, they won't have any money!

And the thirty taels of silver that were originally hidden were the last family funds, and a few days ago they were taken by the mother's brother for eight taels, and there are still twenty-two taels left, which must not be used indiscriminately!

She can't stand the Feng family, and she also longs for the kind of free and uncontrolled leisure days in the past, when she wants to eat and sleep, but she understands in her heart: Twenty-two taels of silver is really not enough for a family of four to live in the town, as the saying goes, if you move home and take off a layer of skin, just renting a house is a big expense, not to mention that now that the New Year is coming, you can't let the two children have a shabby year, and in the Feng family, at least there are pigs to kill, there are more than a dozen fat chickens, Feng Liang's family has already prepared several large bags of white noodles...... Also, the thirty taels of silver given by Jinxiu can contain the money for the New Year's Festival of the whole family! No matter how greedy Feng Liang is, he has to take care of Feng Jin's identity, so that the eldest son who became a Xiucai will have a shabby New Year's Day, and Old Man Feng can't agree!

Xiao Liang bit his lip fiercely, and decided to endure it first, insist on living in Dongshan Village without moving his nest, and think of flexibility at the moment, only Splendid can change their lives! Regardless of whether Feng Jin finds an errand to do or not, before taking the exam next year, he must keep an eye on Tian's mother and daughter, and he will eat them!

Speaking of the sky, Feng Jin is the biological father of the three sisters, if Feng Jin was not educated back then, how could there be a splendid today? Therefore, they must take care of their father and younger siblings!

No matter how angry Xiao Liang was blowing the wind on the pillow, he couldn't help Feng Jin's delicate body since he fell ill last time, and he still had a bit of literati sourness, so he refused to help the sick and go to Jinxiu's "theory" in order to meet Xiao Liang's wishes, and only appeased Xiao Liang and asked Xiao Liang to study ink and lay paper for him, he himself sighed while sitting up and writing a letter to Zhang Lizhou to apologize, saying that his family and daughter were not enough to match Zhang Jialang, and asked them to choose another lady.

A farce was revealed, and the next day was the eighth day of the lunar month.

Laba porridge to drink, Yu's Laba porridge materials are enough for eight things: lotus seeds, seeds, sorghum, brown rice, jade millet, wheat grains, soybeans, and wild mung beans, all of which can be collected by the villagers, while red beans, peanuts, red dates, glutinous rice, barley, etc., are not seen, and they probably have to spend money to buy them.

The peanut species was not widely cultivated in the dynasty, but the grain shops sold peanuts from time to time, and they were shipped from the south, and the price was quite expensive.

There are many grain seeds in the splendid gourd Dongtian storage room, she has nothing to do to grab them all and plant them to see what it looks like, practicing those two booklets every day, studying Dongtian notes, how much she has increased her mana, her understanding of the laws of Dongtian is more detailed, and she is more and more handy in using it, and now she is not as hard as it was at the beginning to plant and classify and harvest grains, fruits and vegetables in Dongtian Manor.

Like peanuts, red dates, red beans, black beans, flower beans, etc., there are naturally all in the cave, and longan is also dried a lot, Jinxiu usually goes to the town to always "buy" a lot of things, everyone is used to her extravagant and thrifty behavior, so when Jinxiu took out these precious rice grains and beans to let Tian and Yu cook porridge together, everyone just looked at it, no one thought it was strange, and they thought she bought it in the town or county.

In this dynasty, people sent Laba porridge, a bowl of Laba porridge you send me and I send you, no matter how good it is or not, they all express a good intention: mutual concern, respect, and blessing between relatives and friends, so usually Laba porridge has to be boiled in a cauldron, and it is enough for your family to eat after sending relatives and friends.

Boiling eight porridge is time-consuming and costly, and people need to take care of it carefully, so Yu and Tian simply put the ingredients of the two families together and mixed them, and boiled two large pots at the same time, and they can eat and send them casually.

The rice beans were soaked, and the third watch got up in the middle of the night to boil the porridge, and it was not boiled until the morning of Laba, and the Guan family was the whole family sent out to deliver Laba porridge, and Guan Gu volunteered to go to a farther place, such as his uncle's house and his brother-in-law's house, and the nearest one was Guan Mu and Yu's distribution; Tian has not been in contact with his relatives since marrying Feng Jin, except for a few neighbors in the village who are usually close, to send a few bowls, Grandpa Tian and Uncle Tian live here to help watch the house, and the little uncle ran back and forth to send Laba porridge back to Tian's mother's house, Aunt Tian has already confessed: her eldest daughter's in-law and five brothers have just finished dividing the house, and the aunt and aunt-in-law have taken Sanniu to the eldest daughter's house in the morning and evening to help see the children and organize some housework. If they come suddenly, they can eat it.
