Chapter 111: Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law
Wulang, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi sisters look quite similar, and as soon as they walk out, needless to say, everyone can see that they are a family. And in terms of appearance, the three sisters can be said to have inherited the advantages of Lian Shouxin and Zhang. As for the new daughter-in-law Qin Ruojuan, she is generally considered to be married to Goro.
It is not only the similarity of appearance, the same growth environment, the mutual influence and subtlety of personality, manners, and demeanor, but also in such a festive day, with the same strong joy, mutual infection, making them even more similar to each other.
The so-called "not a family" does not enter the door, in fact, in many ways, it makes sense.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve, after happily eating the New Year's dinner, all trivial matters such as entertainment were naturally waived, and only the family spent a leisurely time together.
The kang table is full of all kinds of fruits, including frozen pears and frozen persimmons with special characteristics of Liaodong Prefecture. In addition, there was another table on the kang, and Zhang, Lian Man'er and Qin Ruojuan sat around the table.
Leaf cards are also a more popular game in this era. In the countryside of Liaodong Province, the elderly also call this leaf card a small card. There is no limit to the number of people who can play this hand, and it can be played by two, three, or more people.
The people of the Lian family, from the old man Lian and the Zhou family, no one plays this. The people of the Zhang family are playing, especially the Li family, who likes to play leaf cards very much. Li has a good temperament, and there are many casual hobbies such as watching dramas and playing leaf cards. Fundamentally, Li is an old man who loves life very much and has a lot of interest in life.
The Zhang family was inevitably influenced by the Li family, and the Zhang family also played leaf cards. I also love to watch dramas. However, she doesn't like the leaf card, after marrying into the Lian family, everyone doesn't play, she enters the country with the custom, and naturally does not touch the leaf card.
This year, the new daughter-in-law entered the door, and Zhang's proposal was half because she was happy. And the main reason is that she is afraid that Qin Ruojuan will find it boring and wants the family to be more lively.
Zhang's proposal made such a proposal, and even Man'er naturally cheered, and Qin Ruojuan also responded enthusiastically.
"Mother, it's the New Year's Day. Let's play this for nothing, it's not interesting, or how about bringing some color? Lian Man'er asked people to take the leaf card, and suggested with a smile.
Usually playing leaf cards at home, but it is a kind of leisure, and it is not colorful. But the Chinese New Year is different. When everyone gathers in one place, some of the usual prohibitions will be slightly relaxed. After all, it's a happy day, all year round. It's just a matter of letting go of playing for a few days.
"That's fine." Zhang nodded. My family plays a few cards and brings a little bit of color, but it's just a fun time and has nothing to do with gambling.
Zhang called the big girl Duofu to go to her cabinet to get her private money. Even Man'er and Qin Ruojuan each sent the girl back to the house to get the money.
This brings a color head, but it is different from the one without a color head. The three of them are a little "serious". The girls who are waiting underground also follow the spirit.
"Your mother and they all play with colored heads, or the three of us will also have some colored heads." Even Shouxin also proposed.
On the table on the kang, there were three people sitting Zhang, Lian Man'er and Qin Ruojuan. There is also a table set up underground, which is Lian Shouxin, Gorou and Xiaoqi. The three of them were also idle, so they set up a chessboard on the table and played checkers.
Checkers is naturally Lian Man'er's "invention". The rules of the game are simple, and you can play with multiple people, which can be regarded as elegant and vulgar, suitable for all ages. Once upon a time, when the sisters were together, they didn't play this less. Now it's not suitable for even the three of them who keep their promises, and other chess is not suitable, so I chose this checkers.
The checkers chessboard is made by a craftsman, and the checkers chess pieces are carved with red, black, white, green, pink, and color agate of several different colors, which is very delicate and lovely.
Lian Shouxin played checkers with his sons, and nine times out of ten, he was going to lose. Another time, most of them were also Gorou and Xiaoqi who saw that he always lost and deliberately let him. Not to mention Goro, Xiao Qi didn't win his father's money. Now Lian Shouxin opened his mouth to propose to add lottery heads, which is obviously to send additional New Year's money to his two sons.
Lian Man'er sat on the kang and heard it, so she pursed her lips and snickered.
"If you have to learn from us, play with the color head, then I can't stop you. However, I can say this in my head, you use your own money, don't try to borrow from me. Naturally, the Zhang family also heard it, and deliberately kept his face to Lian and kept his word.
"Don't be afraid, I won't borrow from you." Lian Shouxin said, "I have my own money." ”
Gorou and Xiaoqi also laughed, and both said that they agreed to play with a color head. The two of them also praised Lian Shou Xin vigorously, saying that he was lucky today, and he could win money by looking at it.
Lian Man'er couldn't help laughing, Wulang and Xiaoqi were obviously made up their minds to win Lian Shouxin's private money.
"Take it easy, don't lose it all." Zhang also understood that this was a trick that Wulang and Xiaoqi had been doing since they were children, so she reminded Lian Shouxin again, "Otherwise, wait until tomorrow, you won't even be able to get the New Year's money for the children." ”
was looked down upon by the Zhang family like this, and even Shouxin was helpless. He was helpless, but the rest of the room couldn't help but laugh.
The family played for a while, and at the table where they played checkers, even Shouxin lost without any suspense, Gorou was in the middle, and Xiao Qi won the most. All three of them were happy, especially Lian Shouxin, who lost. And Lian Man'er's table, there is no significant difference between winning and losing. The reason is that the three mothers and sons are too accommodating to each other.
It was dark, and the girl who was waiting came over and asked if she wanted to have dinner.
The custom of celebrating the New Year, noon is the most important reunion dinner, this meal, generally everyone eats very full, plus the snacks, fruits, tea, at this time is generally not too hungry. Therefore, this meal is also the easiest meal on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
It's simple, but it's still to be eaten.
Zhang put down the cards in his hand, and beckoned even Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi to rest. It's time to eat.
"Mother, what do you eat at night?" Qin Ruojuan hurriedly stood up and asked respectfully.
“…… Just drink a bowl of white porridge and eat some refreshing side dishes. The big guys are not hungry yet, and they will have to eat dumplings for a while. Zhang thought about it, and said, while asking Lian Shouxin them, "...... What do you want to eat? ”
Everyone said to eat porridge.
Qin Ruojuan wrote it down, and hurriedly took the girl away. Go to the kitchen to arrange.
After dinner, the lights were lit in each courtyard, and lanterns were hung on the trees outside the courtyard, and the surrounding of the Imperial Archway was brightly lit and filled with cigarette smoke. Far and near. From time to time, firecrackers rang out.
The family sat and talked for a while, and Zhang asked Zhang Luo to make dumplings. The dumplings that the family ate a few mouthfuls on Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang's has never let the kitchen wrap, she did it herself. Now that Qin Ruojuan has entered the door, the Zhang family still follows this old rule.
“…… I know that those people in the city are all let their subordinates do these things. It is said that our family is not without people to serve. I'm just used to it. I feel that only in this way can there be a meaning of the New Year. This little work is not tiring, nor is it buried. The family works together, and it is still fragrant and lively. Zhang specially explained to Qin Ruojuan.
Qin Ruojuan entered the door for a few days, and she had already noticed the difference between the Lian family and other families. For example, Zhang's generosity and amiability. Don't set rules for your daughter-in-law, such as the strong family affection in this family. Therefore, Zhang said that she would do it herself, and she was not surprised at all.
"Mother, you don't have to tell me this. I'm also happy to make dumplings. …… At home, during the Chinese New Year, my mother also took us to make dumplings and eat them as a family. During the Yuan Festival, my mother also took us to wrap in the Lantern Festival. Qin Ruojuan said with a smile.
Hearing Qin Ruojuan say this, the Zhang family was very happy. To be honest, I had dealings with Mrs. Qin before, and I had also talked to some parents, and the Zhang family felt that they could talk to Mrs. Qin at that time, that is to say, many of the concepts of the two families were similar in terms of running a family. This is also one of the important reasons why the Zhang family is willing to settle this family business.
Sure enough, Qin Ruojuan came to the door, and everyone got along very well in all aspects.
With that, the family decided to make their own dumplings. Even Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi were driven aside, and the three of them stopped playing chess, so they took people outside to set off firecrackers and inspected by the way.
Zhang's mother-in-law was the commander-in-chief of the dumplings, Lian Man'er was responsible for adjusting the filling, and Qin Ruojuan also rolled up her sleeves and began to make noodles. Zhang has long been accustomed to what her daughters are doing, she mainly looks at Qin Ruojuan, and gives advice from time to time. Seeing Qin Ruojuan's skillful movements, Zhang's family was even happier.
“…… Gorou loves to eat hand-rolled noodles, and the noodles should be kneaded vigorously, and the harder the eating, the better......" Zhang told Qin Ruojuan with a smile, "He also loves to eat fried noodles, so he uses the sauce we have at home, and he can't get used to it anywhere else." Wait for next year, I will take you, and you will learn too. Very easy to learn. ”
"Hey." Qin Ruojuan happily agreed.
There is a master chef in the kitchen, and what kind of food can't be made. But the meaning of doing it by my own family is different. It is not necessary to cook every meal, occasionally cook a delicious meal for the family, or even a simple bowl of noodles, which can harmonize the relationship between family members and enhance the relationship.
In Zhang's opinion, if a daughter-in-law can cook food for her son with her own hands, she feels sorry for her son, which is incomparable to any delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Lian Man'er was on the side, listening to everything in his ears, and couldn't help but smile. Qin Ruojuan is not hypocritical, she does not have Miss Jiao's temper, this is exactly the daughter-in-law that the Lian family needs. It was also one of the reasons why they decided to marry Gorou's eldest daughter as a daughter-in-law.
After Lian Man'er adjusted the filling, Qin Ruojuan reconciled the noodles, put another table on the kang, installed the panel, and the three of them were in place to make dumplings.
After a while, I heard the curtain of the door ring, and Gorou walked in.
