After wrapping the dumplings, Tian Qianqian really called Wang Hongmei, and the mother and daughter took the four-year-old Tian Youli to take a bath together.

After Tian Youjun heard about it, he connected Tian Damu to wash it. It just so happened that Tian Yousheng was also supported by his mother Wang Hongmei. So, the three of them went into the "bathroom" together.

Tian Lu's family saw that the family had washed, especially the old lady Yang and Tian Wu, who were older than him, had also washed, and he was panicked in his heart, and second, he was not convinced.

Tian Jinhe has been dealing with soil in the countryside all his life, and his concept of hygiene is poor. But seeing that his wife came to ask him wholeheartedly, he knew that she couldn't find a partner to call him. was also worried that she would not have any accidents in it alone, and Tian Qingqing instigated her, so the old husband and wife took an old mandarin duck bath inside, which became a good story among the family for a while.

In this way, of the twenty-two people in the entire big family, only Tian Dashu and Tian Dasen were left unwashed, and the remaining twenty people were all washed. There are also Mrs. Yang and the fifth grandmother, one is sixty-five, and the other is seventy years old after eating dumplings on the first day of junior high school.

This was something Tian Qingqing did not expect. I didn't expect my small initiative to bring so many benefits to people. It seems that in the future, we really have to think about it and use our abilities and space to not only give ourselves a family, but also seek more benefits for more people.

I suddenly remembered what Judge Cui said when I crossed over: Crossing is an act against the sky, and the body of crossing can often break through the limit of life. The prerequisite is to accumulate yin virtue, do more good deeds, and move the heavens with your actions......

If they really want to do this, even their ghosts who have the power of life and death can't do anything!! ”

Then I let a large family take a hot spring bath in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't this accumulating yin virtue and doing good deeds?

I just remembered Judge Cui's words on this day again! Could it be that there is someone in the dark who is trying to dismiss themselves?!

Tian Qingqing felt that this was a good sign and was even more confident.

When everyone came back from the shower, it was getting dark. Hao Lanxin turned on the electric lights in each room and door, and lit a large candle under the heavens and earth, which was said to be able to burn until dawn.

Although there was no worship of the family hall (the sons whose parents had separated from each other during the living period did not invite the family hall), Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin still pasted statues of gods under the heavens and earth and on the walls above the stove, and placed fruit and dried fruit offerings. Couplets were posted on the door, and the word blessing was pasted on the door.

At this point, the candle rises, and the atmosphere of the New Year rises.

"Mom, I didn't make dumplings at home today, cooking dumplings is my business. You and Grandma Yang are both meritorious heroes, just wait to eat dumplings! Tian Qingqing looked at the bright lights in the courtyard and said to Hao Lanxin happily.

Hao Lanxin: "It's okay. You go to cook dumplings, your brother and I put the snacks you picked up on the table, and our family and your grandmother Yang will have a happy Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Hey!" Tian Qingqing agreed loudly, and entered the kitchen with dumplings with a smile.

The kitchen is just outside the "bathroom", and the dumplings are cooked in the same pot with hot water. Although there is a ban and a cotton curtain hanging, Tian Qingqing is still afraid that the smell of "bathroom" will come to the outer room.

Fortunately, the kitchen still smells smoky and has not changed at all.

Tian Qingqing opened the cotton door curtain again and looked at the room, under the electric light, the large aluminum basin was quietly placed on the ground to the west. There are traces of water splashing on the ground. She and her father, Tian Dalin, had dug out the water outlet all morning, and it was still wet, proving that the water was flowing from there.

The small wooden bed under the windowsill on the east side was dry. There was no fog in the house anymore.

One qiē was as originally envisioned, which made Tian Qingqing very pleased.

The dumplings are cooked quickly.

The dumplings are filled with three fresh fillings: leeks, pork, eggs, and some small shrimp skins in them, and the kitchen is immediately filled with a fragrant smell.

When Tian Qingqing brought the dumplings to the North House Hall, the table was already full of snacks. Dried fruits include black dates, persimmons, peanuts, almonds, and chestnuts; The fruits are apples, oranges; The snacks are chicken cakes and some crispy pastries with the word "double happiness" written on them, deep-fried honey three knives, gold and silver cakes, etc. The meat consists of a plate of haggis, a smoked chicken, a plate of cold salad, pig ears, tongue and face.

These are all prepared by Tian Qingqing, and he knows it in his heart. What Tian Qingqing didn't expect was that there was an extra pot of rice and millet on the table, as well as a plate of self-stewed tile fish.

Stewed clay fish is really helpless. Tian Qingqing took out three carp weighing two catties from the space, originally planning to braise a whole fish, and put it on the table on the 30th night, and the smoked chicken he bought just made up "more than auspicious".

When she came back from the market, she heard that she was eating at noon in the old man. If you want to braise all three fish, you have to bring them all to the old courtyard. In that way, there will be no fish for the New Year in your own home.

So, Tian Dalin built her yì stew into tile fish, saying that it could soak in the flavor, it was delicious, and it was suitable for a banquet with many people.

After the stew was finished, Tian Dalin said that there were many people over there, and after leaving a bowl for Mrs. Yang, he passed it all.

This caught Tian Qingqing off guard. There's no chance of taking it out of the space again. Tian Qingqing was struggling with this matter, and she didn't think that Mrs. Yang had solved this problem - she didn't eat the bowl of fish left for her.

"Grandma Yang, thank you so much." Tian Qingqing said to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang: "I just asked your father to serve me a bowl for the evening." It's not something you have at home yet. What are you thanking me for? ”

"If you're going to eat, you'll ...... tonight I won't say anything. Tian Qingqing said, laughing to herself first.

It turned out that the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first year of junior high school were taboo to say the words "gone" and "finished".

Tian Qingqing's funny appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made the family laugh.

The house was already filled with the smell of three fresh fillings, and people stretched out their chopsticks to the dumplings.

"Ho, it's so fragrant, it's so fresh." Tian Dalin ate a dumpling and smacked his lips.

Mrs. Yang swallowed the dumplings in her mouth, and said to Hao Lanxin with another holding one: "It's the first time to eat leek dumplings in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve." Niece and daughter-in-law, the stuffing you made is really good, not salty or light, and all kinds of flavors are eaten. ”

Hao Lanxin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't praise me, this stuffing is Qingqing." ”

Mrs. Yang asked in surprise, "Didn't Qingqing make dumplings in the old courtyard this afternoon?" ”

Hao Lanxin: "When you were in the shower, she took out the stuffing and put it in the pantry. The noodles were also made by her at that time. We just packed the bag. ”

Mrs. Yang exclaimed: "This child is so diligent, and he is tireless in his pain." You've had a great deal of fun meeting such a daughter. ”

He approached Hao Lanxin again and whispered, "You must have made this doll pro-friendly." I am a family member in this village, and I can take care of you after passing the door. I think that boy is very good, and his mother likes Qingqing very much, and when he saw Qingqing, his eyebrows were full of smiles. Don't be fooled around with this. ”

Hao Lanxin: "It's still a small mile now, let's follow them when I'm older." ”

Although the voice of the two of them was small, Tian Qingqing still heard it. As soon as he saw that the topic had turned to himself, he hurriedly interrupted and asked, "Grandma Yang, what's so particular about this rice you steamed?" Why haven't I seen it in the old courtyard, and I haven't heard of it. ”

Old Mrs. Yang turned around and said to Tian Qingqing: "Ten miles away from different townships, even our Yangjiazhuang is not prosperous. My mother's hometown, Yanglin Village, has done it in the past. However, in recent years, I have not been able to buy rice, and there are very few people who make it.

"When I saw that you had rice and abundant food, I wanted to give you the icing on the cake, and I steamed a pot on the stove in my house last night.

"This is called the 'next year's meal,' and it is to be steamed on the evening of the 29th and put on the table on the 30th. The incense was offered until it was sent to the house. Take the meaning that there is leftover food every year, and you can't eat it all year round, and you still eat the grain of the previous year this year.

"Because it is cooked with a mixture of rice and millet, it is called 'two rice rice' as the saying goes, and the upper offering is called 'gold and silver rice'. It is for the sake of having yellow and white, and taking the meaning of 'there is gold and silver, and the basin is full of gold and silver'.

"If you don't invite the family, let's eat by ourselves, let's eat part of it tonight, and eat part of it tomorrow to beg for a mouth."

Hao Lanxin: "Thank you so much, Aunt Yang. ”

Mrs. Yang: "You still thank me?" Didn't I borrow flowers to offer Buddha! It's all yours.

"I can see that your family is good-looking, and the gods who are touched are blessing you. Everyone can do whatever they want. Especially Qingqing, you can buy anything new. Your days are really like what this "gold and silver rice" rice foretold, and this year you will eat the grain of the previous years. When I came to your house, I really entered the temple. So I made a pot of 'gold and silver rice,' and blessed your days will be better and better, and I will enjoy the blessings with you." ”

Saying that, his face darkened: "People say 'Chinese New Year's Eve eats dumplings, there are no outsiders', but I, an outsider, eat here with you." ”

Hao Lanxin hurriedly said: "Aunt Yang, you are not allowed to say this from now on, if it weren't for your money, this house would not have been built so quickly." We've been picking horses and spoons in a pot for more than half a year, and we don't treat you as an outsider anymore. It's even more lively to have you here, just me and Darling and the children, what do you have to say. ”

Tian Qingqing also said: "Grandma Yang, let's eat this meal for a longer time tonight, you can tell us about some customs and habits of the New Year." Tong guò made an offering this morning, I think there is a lot of attention to in the New Year, and it is also quite interesting. ”

Mrs. Yang: "Today is 'two years old in one night, and two years in five watches', and this meal should be eaten longer." If you treat me as a member of your family, I won't treat myself as an outsider. Let's talk and eat at the same time, today Grandma Yang is also out of the way, and I will tell you everything I know.
