Of course, freshly harvested reed leaves should not be used, so they need to be cleaned and the leaf stems cut off.

When washing the dumpling leaves, use a quick clean cloth to scrub along the direction from the head of the dumpling leaves to the tip and tail of the leaves, with little friction, so that the washing can be more close to the dumpling leaves and wash more cleanly; If you wash it from the tip of the dumpling leaf upwards, the friction will be very large, and it is difficult to wash.

Put the washed zongzi leaves into boiling water and soak them for about 3 minutes, so that the soaked zongzi leaves are better wrapped, and the soaked zongzi rope is more flexible and not easy to break.

The glutinous rice was also picked up this morning and soaked for a day. Qin Xiuwu also specially prepared some dates, cut them all in half with a knife, and when wrapping zongzi, you can add them according to your personal taste.

When making zongzi, the family is indescribably warm together. Qin Xiuwu was afraid that Ruoyou would not be able to wrap it, so he specially pulled her to his side and showed her how to wrap zongzi.

"Come, if you tell you, making zongzi is actually very simple, you see it in my hands. And so and so and so on, you look at one, and the triangular dumplings are done. ”

As a result, after Ruoyou took the dumpling leaves, he wrapped a four-cornered dumpling in three or two.

This made Qin Xiuwu's face a little unbearable, and he asked in a deep voice, "It turns out that you can make zongzi, why don't you tell me." ”

Ruoyou smiled and glanced at him and said, "I do know, but I will do it all in Sichuan, and I won't know how to make triangular dumplings." Brother Qin, tell me again how the triangular dumplings are wrapped? Let me study hard. ”

This sentence made Qin Xiuwu a little speechless, you don't know how to make triangular dumplings, what can you do here? Was it just a disincentive to discourage me?

After the zongzi is wrapped, Qin's mother takes it down and cooks it and eats it. The freshly cooked zongzi have the fragrance of zongzi leaves, and they taste very good.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Qin Xiuwu didn't want his parents and grandfather to go to the ranch to play for two days. This proposal was resolutely opposed by the parents, and in order to be able to see Ruoyou as soon as possible, they came back this time and took several days off. Where is there time to run to the ranch again, I can only wait for the holiday later.

Grandpa agreed, saying that he would go by himself after a while, and he didn't need Qin Xiuwu to accompany him.

In this way, Qin Xiuwu stayed at home for two days, walked around his relatives' houses, brought them some special products, and contacted their feelings. Of course, you have to say that he is running, and it is useless to show off Ruoyou, a beautiful and gentle wife who knows a lot of knowledge.

There was a problem when she left, and Tongtong, the little girl, saw that Ruoyou was leaving, crying and grabbing Ruoyou's hand and not letting him go. Tongtong is with Ruoyou these days. In addition, Ruoyou is also very fond of this niece, and she likes it very much. Where is Xiang Tongtong's mother, her appearance is relatively strong, and she is also very strict with Tongtong.

Usually don't let her do this, or she will do that. Don't let her eat that food, don't let her watch this TV. The requirements are very strict, just like a little adult.

This is nothing in normal times, usually her mother takes care of her alone, but now that she meets an aunt like Ruoyou who loves her, how could Tongtong be willing to let her leave.

The crying was so miserable that in the end, even Qin Xiuwu couldn't help it. ran to the side and whispered to his sister-in-law Zhou Bing, "Sister-in-law, otherwise, let me take Tongtong back to the ranch!" Anyway, Tongtong hadn't seen her dad for a long time, so she was asked to play with her dad for two days. Wait until a few days later, you will accompany your grandfather to the ranch and pick him up. ”

Zhou Bing snorted and said coldly, "This little girl is just underdrawn, if it is handed over to you, she will not be used to the sky." ”

In fact, she was very reluctant in her heart, Tongtong was still just a little girl who was more than 3 years old, and she had never left her mother's arms, how could she be willing to let Tongtong run to such a far place.

But looking at Tongtong, who was crying there and reluctant to let go, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, whether she was usually too strict with her, otherwise how could she be reluctant to have one, she had only known her aunt for less than 10 days, and she was afraid to return to her arms.

As a woman's intuition, she has been aware of this problem in the past two days, Tongtong is reluctant to go home every night and wants to be with her aunt. After returning home, I looked at her no longer as obedient as before, but with some fear.

At this time, Qin Xiuwu persuaded on the side, "Children, it's not good to be so strict with discipline, always let them have some free space." Besides, I'm not prepared, take her to her father, why are you still afraid that I will abduct her, sister-in-law. ”

This made Zhou Bing make up her mind, she smiled and said, "You kid is still so good at talking, I think you want Tongtong to take Ruoyou to the ranch is your purpose." Okay, I'll let you bring her over, but you listen to me, and when I look back, I see that Tongtong is missing a hair, and I will definitely settle accounts with you. ”

Qin Xiuwu smiled embarrassedly, Ruoyou was able to come to his house this time, or he had worked hard for a long time before Ruoyou agreed, if he still wanted her to go to the ranch with him, this possibility was almost zero. So it was also his will to take Tongtong with him. In this way, Ruoyou will definitely follow Tongtong to the ranch in order to take care of her.

After saying goodbye to his family, Qin Xiuwu drove straight to Mount Tai. This time, she didn't let Erdemutu follow, and let him run alone to browse the scenery of Mount Tai. And gave him some red plates, let him spend as much as he wanted, buy some souvenirs, and take some photos.

As for him and Ruoyou, of course, they live a sweet life together, running to the mountains to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai. As for Tongtong, she will only bring happiness to people, will it affect the sweet life of the two of them.

In the end, in the urging of Tongtong, several people returned to Inner Mongolia.

Of course, returning to Inner Mongolia does not mean returning to the pasture, Qin Xiuwu did not go back to the ranch directly after returning, he went around Hailiutu Town, first took Tong Tong to a clothing store, and bought a set of Mongolian children's clothes for Tong Tong.

Of course, he and Ruoyou took Tongtong to sell clothes. The costumes were also selected by Ruoyou for Tongtong personally. Not to mention that Tongtong was originally a good-looking little girl, and after wearing this costume, she looks even more cute and charming.

The shopkeeper praised her even more, saying, "This little girl is really, very cute." You see how lovely her big charming eyes are, like two talking black gems, blinking and winking. ”

Ruoyou said proudly, "Of course, this little girl is clever!" ”

The proprietress nodded, looked at Ruoyou with some envy and said, "That's really a good boy." But sister, how do you maintain it, the children are so old and can still be maintained so well, like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. I think my child is so old, you see that I am older than you, I look like a yellow-faced woman. ”

Ruo Yougang wanted to say that she was not Tongtong's mother, but who knew that Tongtong was there, rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, Aunt praises me for being beautiful." ”

It's not easy to say it again, otherwise it's a bit of a desire to cover up. can only default to Tongtong's goddaughter.
