Chapter 245: Old Mandarin Duck Bath!

Tian Lu has already made peace with him. The cabbage and pork filling were also adjusted, and the leeks were washed and placed on the grate to control the water.

What puzzled Tian Qingqing was that Tian Lu's family actually made three pieces of noodles.

"The noodles are different, huh?" Tian Qingqing asked.

Those who eat leek stuffing on the evening of the thirtieth day and eat cabbage and pork stuffing on the first day of the new year, the stuffing is different, is the skin different?

"It's not the same. This one has to say. Tian Lushi said with a smile: "At twelve o'clock, I will make offerings to the whole god, and in order to take care of the vegetarian gods, they will all make vegetarian dumplings." It is also a picture of a year of quietness.

"I usually put an egg white on the dumpling noodles, so that the dumpling skin is strong and not easy to break. But vegetarian dumplings can't be put in. Get the light with water and noodles. No, this one is.

"Another one is to put the dumplings tomorrow morning overnight, and the skin must be hard. Otherwise, you have lost the foundation. This one is a bit harder.

"Tonight, I'll eat it when it's wrapped, and the noodles will be softer. Soft dumplings, hard noodle soup.

"The leek stuffing is fresh, I only wash the leeks out, wrap out the dumplings that are offered at night and get up early tomorrow, and I will adjust the leek filling."

Tian Qingqing: "So much attention wow! What about the vegetarian filling, what do you use to make it? ”

Tian Lushi: "The best blend of vegetarian stuffing." Just squeeze the chopped cabbage stuffing and put some salt, sesame oil, and ginger foam. You can't even put chopped green onions. Green onions and leeks are all meat dishes, only ginger is not. ”

Tian Qingqing: "What's the smell of that?" ”

Tian Lushi: "So make small dumplings." Small willow leaves. Three is not as big as a normal dumpling. Just count enough. ”

Tian Qingqing: "There are also counts?" ”

Tian Lushi: "Yes." Or the bowls that were filled with water in the morning. The number of dumplings in it is the number of meat slices provided by water. The family hall is four bowls, four in each bowl; Under the heavens and the earth are five bowls, and in each bowl are five; The other gods have three bowls, three in each bowl. ”

Tian Qingqing: "We have so many gods in our family, and we have a lot of them?" ”

Tian Lushi: "Every year, it's a hundred and fifty. Pack more than a dozen, beware of bad ones. That's enough. ”

Listening to Tian Lu's passionate explanation, Tian Qingqing couldn't help but think: This is really a pure folk custom!

And this folk custom is a cultural model that people pass on orally and through behavior in their daily lives. This kind of conventional folk culture has a strong restraining force on people's thoughts and lives, forcing people to act in a certain moral norm in order to achieve psychological and environmental harmony and balance.

For example, people respectfully offer offerings and light incense in front of the shrine (in the past, every family had a shrine, but now there is no more) and the ancestral tablet. I would like to thank the gods and the spirits of our ancestors in heaven for their protection over the past year, and pray for their blessings for happiness in the coming year.

Tian Qingqing, who crossed over, believed in the existence of the gods even more. This year is the first year after her second crossing, and it is also a year with a strong folk flavor. I would love to learn about this qiē and intend to inherit it meticulously.

And this qiē really belongs to the old man. It's really like a treasure!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but increase my feelings for Tian Lu's family.

"Grandma, my family has installed a bathtub in the south room of the West Wing, which can be warm. My dad and my mom all took a bath, and Grandma Yang didn't dare to wash it alone, so she called the fifth grandmother to be her companion and wash it, you can go over and wash it later. Tian Qingqing said to Tian Lushi while kneading the dough.

Tian Lushi shook his head and said: "I'm so old, I haven't taken a bath in my life, and in the new year, don't wash out any more problems." ”

Tian Qingqing: "Taking a bath is good for your health, and if you pay attention to hygiene, how can you wash out the problem." The fifth grandmother is older than you, people are not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

Tian Lushi: "How can I compare with your fifth grandmother!" She used to go to the capital and wash at her stepson's place. I'm a common man and a housewife, what kind of bath do I take? ”

Tian Qingqing: "What's wrong with the people? My dad and my mom aren't all ordinary people, and after they wash it, they are not happy. From now on, this bathtub will always be there, and whoever is dirty or willing to wash it will wash it. Boil a pot of hot water and wash several people. Wow, we've lived the life of a city dweller: we love cleanliness, frequent showers and a change of clothes. ”

Tian Lushi: "I'll think about it, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Under the guidance of Tian Lu's, Tian Qingqing began to make the medicine and wrap the small dumplings on it.

Sure enough, it was a small willow leaf dumpling. The agent is like a button, and the skin rolled out is larger than a steel hammer, not much larger than a copper plate. Spread a little stuffing and wrap it into the shape of dumplings.

"Fool God like this! This is not a serious matter of the God's family, right? Tian Qingqing held up the small dumpling the size of half a soybean pod in his small hand and said with a smile.

Tian Lushi also smiled and said: "If you have fulfilled your intentions, you will be fine." Most of the bags are small, and they are all eaten by people. ”

When the dumplings were halfway wrapped, Tian Qianqian and Tian Jingjing came.

Immediately, Tian Yuanyuan and Tian Cuicui also came with red faces wrapped in headscarves.

So, everyone's topic shifted to taking a bath.

"It's warm, it's good. The water is not cool in the end. My mom and I rubbed each other's backs, oops, that one was comfortable. Tian Yuanyuan said with an intoxicated expression.

"Qingqing, after wrapping the dumplings, Jingjing and I, call your second aunt and go wash too, okay?" Tian Qianqian, who has always been arrogant and has no one in her eyes, finally said a word of begging to Tian Qingqing.

Tian Qingqing: "Okay." Anyway, it has been arranged, and more people are allowed to wash, nothing more than boiling hot water in the pot. Then he said to Tian Lushi: "Grandma, what are you hesitating about?" If Sister Sissi and the second aunt are washed, the ladies in our family will be left with you. ”

Tian Lushi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you wait for no one to wash it, and I'll go in and bubble alone?" ”

Tian Lu's personality is stubborn and arrogant, and in the past, he only had his second daughter Tian Dongyun, and his relationship with his daughter-in-law and granddaughters was not strong. Between the concubines, they only talked to the best concubine Tian Yin.

Now the second daughter can't count on it, and the relationship with the eldest concubine Tian Yin's family, because of the dog bite incident in Tian Dalin's house, she offended her by sending a letter to Tian Yin's family, and was scolded by Tian Yin's bloody head, and since then neither of the two of them has cared about anyone.

In fact, at this time, Tian Lu's family had become a loner. She knew that her daughter-in-law and granddaughters were unwilling to bathe with her, and she couldn't find a confidant to be her companion like Mrs. Yang did. Her resignation from Tian Qingqing is also due to this reason. Seeing that everyone said yes, I came up with the idea of a person to "bubble".

How could Tian Qingqing not guess Tian Lu's idea? I think most of this old lady's life is sad enough: she is dedicated to saving her second daughter, but the more she rescues her, the more she saves the pot. In the end, it was so troublesome that he deceived his mother's family and drank pesticides by himself; I was afraid of the second son and the second daughter-in-law, but people didn't treat her as a person, and the adults and children ignored her.

I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her in my heart.

Let her go to Tian Qingqing alone, I really don't dare. Tian Lu is also a person in his sixties, and the people in this period are in poor health, and they are already in the ranks of the elderly at the age of sixty. The walnut pattern on the face gives people the impression of an old dragon clock.

"People live for seventy years" is a true portrayal of this period, if there is an elderly person over 70 years old in the family, he will be respected as an "old birthday star".

Tian Lu, an elderly man in his sixties, has never taken a hot bath, and if he faints in the pool or slips in it, it will be dangerous.

Tian Qingqing didn't want to let anyone be hurt in any way because of his actions. And also to benefit them.

Then go in and accompany her yourself!

Thinking of this, Tian Qingqing's heart suddenly "groaned".

In the final analysis, Tian Qingqing still has a grudge against Tian Lu's family. Not to mention her unfair treatment of her mother Hao Lanxin for more than ten years, it is to herself, united with Hu Banxian and her daughter Tian Dongyun, poured black dog blood, fried little cloth people, "broom star life", and went to live in the courtyard house, all of which were ruthless. If she wasn't a traverser, she wouldn't have space or abilities, and everything would have killed her.

The reason why I treat her like this now is because she is her father's biological mother, and because she has raised this big family. And later she also expressed her repentance, and now she is also going to harmony little by little.

You can't just live in hatred, no! Especially this kind of kinship hatred. As long as she has the intention of repenting, she must forgive her past, live in harmony as a family, and work together to cope with all kinds of hardships and hardships.

Because the 11th ~ 3rd ~ middle ~ full ~ meeting will have to be held for a few years, and people will have to live a few years of collective ownership.

In the past few years, your abilities and space will also play a big role. She didn't want to keep the rich space and let the people who were related to her go hungry, so that her father would not be able to endure it, and her heart would not be at peace.

But forgiveness is not the same as intimacy! It's okay to forgive her, let her accompany her to take a bath, rub her bath, and go on a blind date with her, Tian Qingqing really can't do it - at least not now!

Suddenly, a bold idea came up: let the old couple take an old mandarin duck bath!

So, Tian Qingqing approached Tian Lu's ear and told her his idea.

Tian Lushi immediately turned his old face red with shame. Gently slapped Tian Qingqing's little shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "You little girl, you have some bad ideas." Don't let people laugh to death! ”

Tian Qingqing also smiled: "In our own home, what are you afraid of!" Whoever laughs makes her (him) laugh goes. They want to wash it like this, but they can't touch it! When people are old, they are companions, and wouldn't it be better to be companions in everything?! ”

Tian Qianqian saw Tian Qingqing biting her ears and laughing with her grandmother, and asked, "Qingqing, how are you going to let grandma take a bath?" ”

Tian Lushi hurriedly smiled and said, "Qingqing, don't sue them." Let them be bored first! ”

The six grandchildren erupted in a burst of cheerful laughter. (To be continued) RS
