That night, the north wind whined, and the night rain hit the roof tiles intensively, ticking and playing the cold of the winter night.

The rain fell overnight and stopped in the early hours of the morning.

Yulan and Lu Zhong still got up with a rooster crowing, Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng were not sleepy, but Lu Xiaoyi was reluctant to move when he curled up on the warm kang.

Yulan came into the house with a pile of clean clothes, and while helping Xiao Geng put them on, she urged Lu Xiaoyi to get up.

Xiao Ding covered his mouth and smiled: "Mother, it's cold today, you can let the eldest sister sleep more!" ”

Xiao Geng took the opportunity to complain, "Mother, the eldest sister is like this every morning, if the second sister and I don't urge her, she won't get up, why is she so lazy?" ”

Yulan helped Xiao Geng tie the belt and put her clothes in order, before she leaned over to look at Lu Xiaoyi, and saw that although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were blinking, she was clearly awake, but she couldn't afford to get out of bed, she lifted her quilt and said, "Don't get up yet!" The bigger it is, the worse it is. ”

Lu Xiaoyi opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, took clean clothes and glared at Xiao Geng while putting them on, this little villain still remembers yesterday's hatred!

Yulan put the dirty clothes she had changed into into a wooden basin and nagged: "I don't know what Sister-in-law Hua thinks, on such a cold day, I will call the magpie to wash clothes by the stream early in the morning, and then look at our family, I can't afford to sleep until the sun basks my buttocks." ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and patted the horse: "You are the best mother in the world!" What a blessing it is to be your children! ”

Yulan glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, "Flim tongue!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi jumped to Yulan's side and helped pick up the dirty clothes into the wooden basin, "Mother, just wrap me today's clothes!" ”

Yulan said angrily: "Hurry up and sweep the three rooms, there is still porridge boiling on the stove, your father didn't go out of the car today, just changed the quilt and sheets at home, and asked him to wash it with me." ”

Xiao Ding shouted to help, and Yulan said: "The stream is cold in winter, and your little girl's family is better to be less polluted, so as not to suffer from the cold and get sick, and suffer in the future!" ”

Xiao Ding didn't understand, and hurriedly asked what the illness was, Yulan smiled: "You'll know later." ”

Lu Xiaoyi understands that women are born with a cold physique, especially during the menstrual period, so they should pay more attention to keeping warm and avoid eating raw and cold. Although she and Xiaoding are young and not in the future, Yulan still takes care of them very intimately, Lu Xiaoyi felt a warm feeling in her heart, seeing that Yulan was about to possess the basin, she rushed forward, and walked out like a divine power possession with a heavy wooden basin.

Yulan Qi stepped forward in three or two steps, snatched it away, and reprimanded: "What can you do?" I'm not afraid of hurting my strength. ”

Lu Xiaoyi scratched his head and smirked, and Yulan stopped training it and went on her own.

After breakfast, the sun finally came to a rosy glow, and although the distant mountains were shrouded in misty clouds, the close view came alive in the warm sun. A few flower dogs were barking in the village, the chickens were also free-ranged, foraging in all corners, and a yellow cat borrowed the wall of the Lu family's courtyard, with an extremely cold posture, and was too lazy to look at Lu Xiaoyi, with a high tail, and jumped lightly on the roof of the neighbor's house.

Sure enough, as soon as he was free, time was terrifyingly slow, Lu Xiaoyi sat on the kang bored, unable to arouse interest in needlework, looking at the task assigned by Yulan, he frowned. Looking at Xiao Ding's serious embroidery again, it is seven or eight points similar to Yulan, Lu Xiaoyi smiled and pushed the cloth head in his hand in front of Xiao Ding, and coaxed: "Good Xiao Ding, help the eldest sister embroider this." ”

Xiao Ding smiled: "Eldest sister, I can help you embroider, but my mother said, you must learn the simplest stitches such as flat needles, back needles, fake sewing needles, sewing needles, hemming needles and Tibetan sewing needles, and you will not ask for help if your clothes are torn in the future." ”

Lu Xiaoyi retracted his hand with a bitter face, staring at several stitches on the rag head.

Xiao Ding is right, in this era of self-sufficiency, you can't always sew a close-fitting garment, patch, or sew a strip and have to ask others for help. Now that I have my mother and sister to help me at home, if I marry someone else's family in the future, I will find my mother-in-law, sister-in-law or sister-in-law to help me with sewing and mending, wouldn't it be a joke to recruit my mother-in-law and sister-in-law!

Lu Xiaoyi snorted, she is not so easy to admit defeat, isn't it just a few basic stitches, how difficult it is to be sad about the college entrance examination in her previous life?

After settling down, Lu Xiaoyi began to study these basic acupuncture methods, and figured out the principle, in Lu Shouzeng's words: It is simply the same as a 'one', and the later stage is a process where practice makes perfect.

Yulan and Lu Zhong came back from washing, set up a long pole to dry the sheets and clothes on the back, and entered the house to see the two daughters sitting obediently on the kang to learn to do needlework, and Xiao Geng playing with a small box on the side. She took a closer look and saw that although Xiao Yi's technique was blunt, the needlework was correct, and she had mastered all the needle techniques she had explained.

Yulan was very happy, took the rag in Xiao Yi's hand and looked at it carefully, her frozen red hand couldn't help but wipe her tears, and muttered: "I'll just say, my daughter born to Wang Yulan, how bad can the needlework be?" I can see that you are not stupid or lazy, and you can't let your temperament come in the future, you have to force you and take back your playfulness! ”

People in this era have long regarded sewing, cooking, housekeeping, and childbirth as an important criterion for judging women, and Yulan is no exception, not to mention that her daughter has a leg disease, and she has to plan for her daughter's future.

Lu Xiaoyi saw that she made a little effort, and Yulan cried happily, which shows how disappointed Yulan was when she disliked the female red a while ago. Lu Xiaoyi took out a handkerchief and gave it to Yulan, and attached her small hand to Yulan's red, swollen and cold hand, and said obediently: "Mother, I won't be greedy in the future, I will learn from you a little bit." ”

This time, she didn't think it through, and she did things according to her own preferences, and she ignored Yulan's sincere motherly heart. Lu Xiaoyi secretly warned himself that in the future, he must think more about his parents' feelings in everything he does or says, after all, this is an ancient society, and some things you may think are insignificant, but for them, it is difficult to accept them.

Yulan had red eyes and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat for lunch?" Mother will do it for you! ”

Lu Xiaoyi rubbed Yulan's frozen hands, "You and your father are tired all morning, so I and Xiaoding will make lunch!" ”

Yulan nodded and said, "Okay!" Good! Your dad will definitely be happy to know about it! ”

Xiao Ding was also helping to rub Yulan's hands, and said distressedly: "Mother, your hands are starting to freeze again." ”

"The skin is calloused, what are a few frozen buns, think about what to cook for lunch, right? Today, you sisters are in charge, and you have the final say! ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Why don't we try to make a rose cake with noodles, mother, I don't have good noodles, you have to teach me." ”

Yulan likes her daughter's initiative to learn life skills, and said happily: "That's not easy, let's go, let's go to the stove now, and put the noodles on the kang head, and it will be up soon." With that, she took a jar from the kang head, which contained the yeast she had left over from the last time she made noodles.

When Yulan took out the yeast, her face suddenly became angry and smiling, staring at Xiao Geng, who was playing energetically, and roared: "Xiao Geng, you are looking for a beating!" ”

Xiao Geng looked up in a daze, a little inexplicable, when he saw the yeast in Yulan's hand, he immediately retreated to the farthest part of the pit.

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at Yulan's hand and laughed out loud, where is this white leaven, it is clearly realist art poop! It must have been steamed steamed buns last time, Yulan put the yeast in the jar and was seen by Xiao Geng, and secretly took it out as plasticine and kneaded it, and finally rolled it into a long strip and coiled it into a poop shape!

Lu Xiaoyi felt a little nervous in his heart, and kept telling himself that it was dough containing yeast, not poop, but in the end, he couldn't break through the level in his heart, and he felt nauseous in his heart.

Xiao Geng seemed to feel the strong resentment in Lu Xiaoyi's heart, and explained timidly: "That's not a stinky, that's a snake I made." ”

All right! It's not poop, it's a snake! Snake! Snake! Lu Xiaoyi continued to strengthen the construction of his heart, and followed Yulan to the stove room, but the whole poop, oh no, the whole snake was pinched into flour lumps and added water and noodles, Lu Xiaoyi did not participate in it himself, but stood aside and listened to Yulan's explanation of the skills of harmony, but his eyes wandered to the purlin on the top of the stove room.

After the noodles are reconciled, it is time to prepare the filling.

Lu Xiaoyi washed his hands, turned out the dried prickly rose flowers to remove the calyx, washed them, and then kneaded all the rose-red flower bones into pieces, and then mixed them with frosting.

The whole process was quick and simple, and Magnolia smiled: "This flower bone tastes so fragrant, if you pick flowers and marinate them in sugar, won't it taste better?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was reminded and nodded busily, "When the weather is warm, divide a few plants from Brother Liang's house and plant them in our yard, which is fragrant and beautiful, and can also make rose cakes." ”

Magnolia was a little regretful, "It's a pity that these flowers were picked and eaten by us as soon as they bloomed." ”

Lu Xiaoyi teased her: "Why don't you take it off and wear it on your head for two days before eating?" ”

Yulan glanced at Xiao Yi hatefully, and said angrily: "Hey! Can you endure it? Dare to make fun of your mother! ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and threw herself into Yulan's arms, Xiao Ding also pounced, Yulan looked like a woman with everything, poor Xiao Geng was still squatting in the corner of the kang, he was obviously a snake, why were his mother and eldest sister so angry? I can't figure it out!

This time, Yulan was in charge in person, and the rose cake was made to be round and fat, and the appearance was very pleasing, the only thing that made Lu Xiaoyi feel regretful: the middle of the dough cake swelled, and when it was bitten, it revealed the empty inside, which seemed to be very rare.

It doesn't matter if you eat it at home, there is some suspicion of cheating money when you go to takeout, and Lu Xiaoyi is worried again.

Yulan picked up ten rose cakes for Lu Xiaoyi to send to the surplus grain while it was hot, and picked up another twenty for Xiaoding to send to the West Courtyard, and the rest was hot in the pot, waiting for them to come back and start the pot.

As soon as he came out of the warm room, he was greeted by a cold chill, Lu Xiaoyi shivered loudly, hugged the food box in his arms, and rushed to Yu's house.

All the way to climb the mountain, Lu Xiaoyi ran urgently, and her lungs hurt as if they were exploding due to uneven breathing, she couldn't help but slow down, slowly adjusted her breathing, and when she arrived at the gate of Yujiayuan, she finally returned to normal, and touched the food box in her arms, fortunately, it was not cold.

The black tiger was already barking in the courtyard, Yu Liang came to open the door wearing a thin cotton coat, Lu Xiaoyi didn't enter the courtyard, handed him the food box, blinked and smiled: "Rose cake, eat it while it's hot, I won't delay you, I'll come to you another day to play!" With that, he turned around to leave.

Yu Liang stopped her twice, and said, "I told the uncle of the dart bureau about you, they haven't gone to Mongolia for a while, and it is estimated that it will be a year later." ”

"It's okay, there's no hurry!" Lu Xiaoyi was already shorter than Yu Liang, and he was standing at the low place of the courtyard gate to speak, and when he looked up, he could clearly see the white gas spurting out of his mouth and nose when he spoke, and then looked at his thin clothes, worried that he would catch a cold, and urged: "Brother Liang, it's too cold, you hurry up and go into the house!" I'm leaving. ”

Then, he rushed down the hill.
