"Why are you back?" When Zhang saw Wulang coming, he asked with a smile, "Your father and Xiao Qina?" ”

“…… Just now, Liulang and the small jar came, and my father took Xiaoqi and the two of them to the temple. My dad said there was no one at home and told me to come back. Gorou replied with a smile.

Lian Man'er looked at Wulang with a smile, and then looked at Qin Ruojuan with a smile. What did he say that there was no one at home, so he deliberately sent Gorou back, and even Shouxin actually wanted Gorou and Qin Ruojuan to spend more time together. There is also a possibility that it was not Lian Shouxin who asked Gorou to come back, but Gorou himself wanted to come back.

Otherwise, even if you come back, it's good to stay in the study in the front yard, and come here in such a hurry, but why that?!

"Hee-hee." Lian Man'er couldn't help laughing, and secretly winked at Zhang's family, and then beckoned to Gorou, "Brother, if you have nothing to do, you can also help us make dumplings." ”

"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet. My brother's dumplings are beautiful, no worse than those made by me and my mother. After saying this, Lian Man'er smiled and said to Qin Ruojuan, "My brother has a spiritual mind, and he will learn anything." ”

"Yes...... Is it. Qin Ruojuan's face turned a little red and said in a low voice.

"Gorou, if you don't have anything else to do, come over and show your daughter-in-law." Zhang also laughed.

Gorou smiled good-naturedly, washed his hands in the basin brought by the girl, and then walked over and sat down, and stretched out his hand to the panel. Qin Ruojuan half-hung her head, and didn't seem to look at Gorou, but as soon as Goro stretched out her hand, she picked an extremely round dough and sent it over.

Gorou took it over, scooped the dumpling filling, and pinched a dumpling very neatly.

"Look, look." Zhang asked the big guy to see it. Gorou was holding a freshly kneaded dumpling in his hand, just like an ingot.

The dumplings of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to take a good omen, are wrapped in the shape of yuanbao, and usually dumplings are not so particular.

"Sister-in-law, look, my brother's bag looks good." Lian Man'er asked Qin Ruojuan with a deliberate smile.

"Also...... Pretty good...... It's not as good as our mother's bag. Qin Ruojuan still half-hung her head and said.

Lian Man'er laughed, Qin Ruojuan was duplicitous. Looking at the way she peeked at Gorou just now, she was obviously very happy, but she was on her lips. I have to flatter my mother-in-law in my head.

Zhang and Goro also laughed. However, neither of them laughed out loud, and Zhang also gave Lian Man'er a look, telling her not to laugh either, lest Qin Ruojuan be even more ashamed.

Gorou made a dumpling. didn't wrap it, but took the rolling pin in Qin Ruojuan's hand, and then rolled the skin, and asked Qin Ruojuan to make dumplings with Zhang and Lian Man'er.

Speaking of which, rolling dough requires a lot of effort, and it is more laborious than making dumplings. In the past, Lian Man'er's family made dumplings. This laborious work is usually done even by keeping promises.

Gorou is feeling sorry for his daughter-in-law!

Zhang is very pleased! Qin Ruojuan's face was flushed, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Lian Man'er could almost smell the sweet smell in the air next to her.

A family of six. After only wrapping two curtains of dumplings, everyone stopped. The noodles and the dumpling filling are not used up, which also has a beginning. For example, in the New Year's dinner, there must be whole fish. There are more than enough meanings every year. This bag of dumplings deliberately has some surpluses, which also means the same thing.

Tidy up everything. Everyone washed their hands again, sat down to drink tea and talk.

“…… Didn't you ask Rokuro how he was doing over there? Zhang asked Gorou.

This year's New Year, Liulang didn't spend the New Year with Lian Man'er's family, as early as a year ago, Erlang and Luo came to say, asking Liulang to go with them for the New Year, where there are Lian Shouyi and He's family, which can be regarded as a family reunion. When Lian Shouxin heard this, he nodded, and he was very happy.

"It's not bad." Gorou said, "The meals are quite hearty, and there are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish." The two families spent the New Year together, and they were also harmonious. Later, I will say that I have to go back to eat dumplings. ”

On Erlang and Luo's side, Erlang and Luo Xiaoying's wages are subsidized by the family, and even Man'er's family helps from time to time, and the life of the past two years has been better day by day. This time, Erlang and Luo went to Fucheng to drink Goro's wedding wine, and also gave a decent congratulatory gift. When they came back, Lian Man'er didn't let them go empty-handed, and gave them a lot of things in large and small bags, including a lot of things to use for the New Year.

Not only Erlang, but all the relatives who went to Fucheng, even Man'er gave rich gifts in return. Including San Lang and Wang Qi's side, because they are far away and it is inconvenient to come and go, they have also thickened by an additional tenth.

"That's good. And they got by. Zhang nodded, and even Shouyi and He stopped a lot. It's just that the latter half of the sentence, Zhang didn't say it, after all, in front of the new daughter-in-law.

Soon, Lian Shouxin came back with Xiaoqi, and in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family got together to keep the new year. The leaves and checkers were put away, and the family discussed, and then took the pitcher, and played the pitcher game in the house.

The game of pitching pots is very quaint, there is a little girl next to it to help score, and even Man'er also let people take a few jade pendants, purses, fan pendants and other gadgets to make color heads. When these lottery heads had a main home, the family stopped laughing. Next, it's a Chinese New Year's Eve dumpling.

The hot dumplings were served, everyone sat around, first Lian Man'er ate the silver horns wrapped in the dumplings, everyone said hello to her, and then Xiaoqi, Wulang, Qin Ruojuan, Zhang and Lian Shouxin all ate silver horns.

This is still to take a good omen, all the silver horns are wrapped by Zhang's own hands, and Zhang's also made a mark on the dumplings to ensure that everyone in the family can eat this good omen. Everyone knew it in their hearts, but when they ate the silver horns, they were still very happy.

After eating the dumplings, the family was busy putting on their big clothes and came to the courtyard. In the courtyard, several fireworks had already been set up, and when the New Year's bell in the temple was heard, Wulang, Lian Man'er, Xiaoqi and Qin Ruojuan took incense sticks with a smile. Set firework on fire.

In the front yard, there were also firecrackers set off by the little guys.

Watching the fireworks bloom in the night sky and listening to the sound of firecrackers like drums, the family stood together and ushered in another New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lian Man'er got up earlier than before, packed up, and came to Zhang's house, Wulang took Qin Ruojuan and Xiao Qi to come. Even Shouxin and Zhang are dressed in new clothes. Sitting on the kang, several children stood neatly and gave New Year's greetings to the two of them.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang smiled and bowed. He smiled and took out a fat bulging purse and gave a few children New Year's money. Lian Shouxin and Zhang's New Year's money to a few children is quite affordable, and each person is a small gold coin with four pen ingots. After that, Lian Shouxin and Zhang's said two words of encouragement, and the family set up an incense case again. I first bowed the decree in the house. Then, he went out again and knelt down in front of the Imperial Archway.

At this point, the most important ceremony of the family's New Year is over. After breakfast again, New Year's greetings came one after another. Because this year is different from previous years, there are more people who come to pay New Year's greetings. Especially the female dependents, it was lively until the evening, and the last group of guests dispersed.

The family simply had dinner. Zhang asked the big guys to go and rest early.

“…… Gorou's daughter-in-law is the busiest today, so let's go and rest. Zhang also specially praised and instructed Qin Ruojuan. Today, people come and go, Qin Ruojuan, as the eldest son and daughter-in-law, has to accompany the guests, and is also responsible for arranging refreshments and meals. A rare moment of leisure.

“…… It's all what I'm supposed to do, and I'm not tired. Qin Ruojuan said with a smile.

"How can you not be tired. That's when I came here. Zhang smiled and said, "Go, let's rest." Tomorrow doesn't have to be as early as today, tomorrow will be quiet, just your sisters and them, let's have a good day. ”

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when my aunt and grandmother returned to their parents' house without moving.

On the morning of the second day of the new year, the family sat down to eat together, and Qin Ruojuan still served under the table first. In addition to a few fine porridges and pastries, the main dish of today's breakfast is also a plate of dumplings with local characteristics of Liaodong Prefecture.

The beige dumplings are squeezed on the plate in a cute manner. Qin Ruojuan carefully peeled off the soft corn husk under the dumpling and put it into everyone's bowl.

These dumplings were specially prepared by the people in the kitchen in the morning. Because when she got up in the morning, she suddenly wanted to eat dumplings.

Now that the family is wealthy, it is no longer the time to regard dumplings as a staple food in the past, but every lunar month, the family still has to pack a lot of dumplings. In addition to what people eat, give away, and give alms, the family also eats it themselves. Their love for glutinous rice is no less than those delicate dim sum made of japonica rice and white noodles.

In fact, as long as the noodles are ground fine enough and the ratio is mastered, the bean paste filling is cooked well, and the dumplings with thin skin and large filling are definitely a kind of food.

Qin Ruojuan served once, and Zhang asked her to sit down and eat.

“…… Are you used to eating this bait? Zhang also asked Qin Ruojuan specifically.

"Habitual eating." Qin Ruojuan nodded, she is from the southerner part of Hejian Mansion, and in that place, there is no habit of eating dumplings in winter. "Mother, when I didn't come to Liaodong Mansion before, I had eaten dumplings. It was my father who was an official in the capital, and someone gave some. We ate it and we all felt good. …… There are also sold in the capital, but it is not easy to buy, and it is not as delicious as this. ”

There are also people from Liaodong Mansion who are officials or businessmen in the capital, so they pass on this gluttony. However, leaving the local dumplings, it is inevitable that there will be some "mutations", although they are also delicious, but they are not as authentic as the locals themselves. In addition, the taste of the dumplings is a little different from each one, just like the miso sauce.

"My mother also made the kitchen bait this year, and it wasn't as good as this." Qin Ruojuan said again.

“…… Our family has a lot of bags this year, and if your in-laws love to eat, let Gorou send more of them if they catch up with Ming'er. Zhang smiled and said, "Wait until this winter, I'll take you back to wrap it, and you will too." ”

"Hey." Qin Ruojuan agreed very obediently.
