After the first day of the new year, everyone is busy with relatives and entertaining guests, Lin Zhu has no relatives to go, Mrs. Li's family and Wang Shudun's New Year's gifts have already been sent over, and they are afraid that if they go to the door to pay New Year's greetings, they will disturb them to entertain relatives and friends, so they will play with Fu Douer at home. wrapped the Liuwen line in red paper, gave Fu Dou'er as New Year's money, and let him play for a while and put it in a small box prepared for him.

Before the fifth day of the new year, she couldn't use needlework, so Lin Zhu asked Chang's mother to tell her about the customs of this era and what she saw and heard in the capital. From Chang's mother's narration, Lin Zhu has a general understanding of the dynasty he is in now.

This is a country that has never appeared in the history of China that Lin Zhu is familiar with, called the Great Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Mu Qingyu made great efforts to expand the foundation established by the Holy Ancestor Emperor Mu Cang, and made the country and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the common people praised him as a Ming Jun. However, this country is very similar to the historical China, with very similar geographical location and climatic conditions. So all along, Lin Zhu always felt that the climate was the same as that of his former hometown.

The most incredible thing for Lin Zhu is that the men's reading here is also based on the Four Books and Five Classics, and the children's enlightenment has "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Texts", and there is no "Kindergarten Qionglin", which shows that this dynasty is after the Song Dynasty and before the Ming Dynasty. But no matter where she is, it has no impact on Lin Zhu, she is now only nested in a small mountain village, and how things happen in the world has little to do with her, anyway, it is a peaceful and prosperous world, and whoever is the emperor is the same.

But since the emperor is a Ming monarch. What Lin Zhu was most concerned about was how the laws of the court were formulated, and what he said about the severance of the father-daughter-mother-son relationship in the law. Now she has set up a household on her own. But I am afraid that in the future, the so-called father and mother will come to the door to take the identity. Filial piety oppresses people, so that she can't resist, and when she asks for something she doesn't want to do, then she will be a cup.

However, Chang's mother is not very clear about the legal matters, but with her experience, she has not encountered a situation where the child who has been cut off from the relationship has been brought back, maybe there is, but she will not say it in the open. At this time, Lin Zhu still didn't know what to do. The only two who can prove her background, Steward Lin and the Wang family, have already gone to drink Meng Po soup.

learned some women's ways of doing things from Chang's mother, Lin Zhu could only sigh that her unsightly fate brought her to this world where imperial power is supreme and men are respected. Fortunately, she is more than 108,000 miles away from the imperial power, and there is no man in the family who is regarded as heaven, and one of them is still far away from becoming a man.

The more I listened to Chang's mother, the more depressed Lin Zhu became, so I simply didn't listen. Run to the vegetable cellar and pick cabbage. There are too many cabbages, and she and Chang's mother can't eat them all, so I don't know what method Lu Dao can use to consume more. She had already missed the opportunity to pickle the cabbage, and if she had just pickled the cabbage, she would have eaten it now. But if you pickle it now. In another month, although it will be the first month, sauerkraut can be eaten all year round. As long as it can be stored well, marinate less. It's okay to eat until March, and it won't be bad until then.

After thinking about it, I went to Chang's mother to discuss, "Chang's mother, shall we pickle some sauerkraut now?" We always eat cabbage, and after pickling, we can also change the taste. Chang's mother thought for a while, "Will it be too late, it will take a month to pickle, and if you can eat it for a month, the weather will be warm, and then this sauerkraut will not be able to be put away, and it will be bad." ”

"It's okay, just pickle less. Anyway, let's eat it alone. Lin Zhu waved his hand and said nonchalantly. In this case, Chang's mother no longer objected, she also felt that she was always idle, Fu Douer was very well-behaved and coaxed, rarely cried, and couldn't use needles and threads, and some things were fine.

So the two of them selected more than a dozen cabbages in the vegetable cellar, washed them for later use, and Lin Zhu found a non-use jar from the kitchen, washed it clean, scalded it with boiling water again, and then dried it, and it was ready to use. Also be careful not to get oil on it during this period. Cut the cabbage from the middle, stack it layer by layer in the vat, and sprinkle a layer of cabbage with a layer of salt. After stacking, cover the cabbage with old cabbage leaves, and press it on the cabbage with a large stone that has been washed and disinfected with boiling water. After the last time, put water in the vat, and the cabbage should be submerged, so that you can wait for natural fermentation for a month.

Although the kitchen is not yet cooled to the extent of freezing, it is placed at the door farthest from the stove, so the temperature of the pickled cabbage is just right, and Lin Zhu also saw this, so he insisted on pickling the sauerkraut.

When I thought of the sauerkraut pickled, all kinds of sauerkraut-based delicacies, such as sauerkraut fish, sauerkraut white meat, sauerkraut stewed bones, sauerkraut stewed meat, and the sauerkraut stuffed dumplings that Lin Zhu never got tired of eating, etc., Lin Zhu's saliva flowed down. That greedy appearance makes people feel that Lin Zhu is still a nine-year-old child, which is very different from her usual performance as a little adult. This kind of forest bamboo also reassures Chang's mother. If Lin Zhu has been acting like an adult, not only her mother, but even Aunt Li and Wang Shudun's family may think that she is a demon, and occasionally selling a fool and decorating cuteness is also Lin Zhu's way of survival.

After the fifth day of the junior high school, Lin Zhu and Chang's mother had nothing else to do except do some housework and bring Fu Dou'er small buns, so Chang's mother picked up the needle and thread to teach Lin Zhu again. She found that Lin Zhu was very proficient in cooking, often had some whimsical ideas, and the meals she cooked were also delicious, but when she talked about holding needles and threads, she shrank back, and she was clumsy, often pricking needles into her hands, so in terms of needlework, it can be said that she has eight tricks and seven tricks - she doesn't know anything, and she doesn't have any Huigen on this.

However, for the sake of her future, Chang's mother still taught her from scratch little by little, Lin Zhu also knew Chang's mother's intentions, and forced himself to follow suit, not to ask for more fine, as long as he could sew a sock by himself and cut a dress, those embroideries and the like flashed as far as they went, Lin Zhu didn't want his hands to become a sieve.

After the tenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Li's relatives have also left, the guests have also finished entertaining, and the cabbage prepared by her family for her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Qiucui has also been eaten. Seeing that she became like she was eating and vomiting, Aunt Li had no choice but to find Lin Zhu to find some cabbage.

"Xiaozhu, do you still have that kind of cabbage?" Aunt Li, Lin Zhu and Chang's mother exchanged a few words of good New Year, and asked Lin Zhu how he was doing these days, whether Fu Douer was doing well, etc., and then entered the purpose of coming here. Seeing Lin Zhu's questioning eyes, Aunt Li told her that Liu Qiucui only eats this kind of cabbage, and the rest can't eat anything, "Alas, there is really no way, Chang mother, you said, we are all pregnant, although it will hurt the mouth, but it is not like my eldest daughter-in-law, I can't eat anything, I vomited, and my face has sunken down for a few days." Aunt Li sighed and shook her head, "I didn't dare to let her go back to her parents' house in the second year of junior high school, for fear that she would not be able to eat well at her parents' house." ”

"Auntie, there are still some at home, you can just take them. It's still the sister-in-law's body that matters. Lin Zhu can understand her current mood. Neither of them noticed the dark expression that flashed when Chang's mother heard the sentence "We are all pregnant".

The dishes are all in the vegetable cellar, and a few days ago, in order to pickle sauerkraut, Lin Zhu deliberately replaced some cabbage stored in the space with ordinary cabbage in the vegetable cellar. At this time, the cabbages in the vegetable cellar are all cabbages that have improved the quality, but in order to reassure Aunt Li, Lin Zhu still asked her to take the less part of the pile. Although there were few, there were still more than 20 trees, and Lin Zhu gave 15 to Aunt Li, but she couldn't take them alone, so she said that she would bring Lin Hongwen over to get them together. Aunt Li wanted to give Lin Zhu some money as vegetable money, but Lin Zhu refused, even if the quality of her cabbage was unusual, but the cabbage was worthless in the farmhouse, but Liu Qiucui couldn't eat anything else, she only recognized her family's kind, she couldn't take advantage of the fire to rob and sit on the ground to raise the price, not to mention that the relationship between the two families was still very good. So Aunt Li smiled and took her eldest son to get the cabbage away.

"Why does Mother Chang look at me like this?" After sending away Aunt Li's mother and son, Lin Zhu returned to the house, saw Chang's mother's slightly scrutinizing gaze, and asked. "Doesn't the girl feel at a loss?" Mother Chang's tone unconsciously brought a respectful tone. "What is this called a loss, it's just a few cabbages, not worth a few dollars." Lin Zhu smiled and said indifferently.

"The girl said something arrogant," Chang's mother stopped and looked at Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu motioned her to go down and say, "Money is nothing, but although this favor is small, it is worth much more than money." "Chang's mother is worthy of being a person who has lived in the mansion, what she said is called a thorough, Lin Zhu feels that she is too far behind the ancients, Chang's mother can see through it at a glance, and Aunt Li will not understand. Where they didn't even expect, they had already thought of the front.

"Thank you for the reminder." Lin Zhu didn't want to delve into this sentence, he understood it in his heart, and Chang's mother naturally understood what she meant, so she didn't say more, and the two of them just tacitly agreed. Each other thinks more highly of each other.

Black Bean'er's cry caught the attention of the two, and the two walked into the house quickly to find Fu Dou'er crying. The two washed their hands and hurried up to the kang to see him. Chang's mother quickly opened the quilt wrapped in Fu Dou'er and found that he had wet his diaper, and he cried because his buttocks were uncomfortable. neatly changed the diaper, and then held Fu Douer in his arms for a leisurely time, and put it down after coaxing. Chang's mother took off the wet diaper and washed it, while Lin Zhugang played with Fu Douer on the kang.

Seeing the black beans wagging their tails in the ground, Lin Zhu raised his hand and stretched out his thumb to praise it, "Black beans, good job, awesome!" "Wang." Her praise was also echoed by Black Bean, and Lin Zhu sometimes thought that this Black Bean was sometimes not as smart as a dog. Is it really like what I saw in the books, that dogs have the same IQ as two or three-year-old children? Every time Lin Zhu taught Black Bean's instructions, as long as he said it five or six times, he could remember it. It seems that I was really lucky to pick up such a smart dog.
