He smiled bitterly, shook his head and muttered to himself, "What's the matter?" It's like you can hit your heels with a fart!"

is such a self-directed and self-acted vignette, but it makes him a little ridiculous.

The black tiger clucked as it wrestled at its chains.

He turned his head to look and saw the black tiger jumping left and right, as if he was happy because of happiness, so he scolded casually: "You dog, are you laughing at me?"

The Black Tiger is an excellent hunting dog that has been specially trained, and its courage is naturally great, and it has grown up with the sound of gunfire with its owner. If it were an ordinary stupid dog, he would have been frightened by the sound of firecrackers and would have trembled into the nest. Even the grassy donkey in the pen was not as brave as it, and it was frightened and wrestling at the reins at the head of the trough, and had already been frightened and incontinent.

His heart is so embarrassed! Ashamed, he muttered again: "No wonder others call themselves fools!"

When he entered the house, he saw Liu Xingmei scooping dumplings with a fence and pouring them into the shallow seeds on a basin.

Liu Xingmei asked: "Do you still use dumplings to make offerings to the Lord of the Stove?"

Tao Zhenkun patted his forehead, as if he suddenly realized, and said, "You don't say that I'm pulling, what's the matter!" Just forget it, wait for the next year to make up for it, I believe that the gods will also be magnanimous, how can they deal with a mortal!"

Liu Xingmei smiled and said, "You just want to be in charge, so you don't like trouble?" If you let your father and mother know, you won't be able to suffer it! If you lose everything in the first year, you can't forget about this custom in the future?"

What she said is that I am afraid that some kind of custom that is still passed down will be gradually forgotten by some people!

"In charge?" Tao Zhenkun was quite stunned by this.

"Bah, bah, bah - just as if I didn't say it!" Liu Xingmei said and walked into the east house.

When she entered the house, she asked, "The dumplings are cooked, can we put them on the table and eat them?"

Qiu Lanzhi, who was already on the kang again, said: "Your father said that he won't eat, and I won't be hungry, or you two-"

"As the saying goes, 'people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry'. This is the dumplings of the fifth watch of the year, it is a reunion dinner, and you have to eat some, not to mention waiting for half a night. Dad is weak, so he eats more, so that he will have energy. ”

That being said, Tao Qisheng really couldn't eat it.

Tao Zhenkun, who followed up, said, "Then I'll put the table."

At this time, Tao Qisheng sneezed twice, and then coughed a few times and let out snot.

Tao Zhenkun asked, "Dad, are you uncomfortable?"

Qiu Lanzhi wiped him with a cloth, and said, "He seems to have a cold again, why does this weasel pick up this sick duck bite?!"

Tao Zhenkun said: "This is probably the curtain and the door opened, I'm afraid it's frozen."

Liu Xingmei asked, "Is there any other medicine?"

Qiu Lanzhi said: "There are still a few painkiller tablets, and I just gave him two tablets."

Tao Qisheng sighed: "Why am I so delicate? This disease is sticky and crooked, if you want to die, not to mention living and suffering, it is still greasy and annoying, it is really better to live than to die!"

Qiu Lanzhi said: "Did you hear it, your father is talking stupidly again!" Who wants to be sick for a long time, but this disease has grown on you, and others can't replace it if they want to! We are all looking forward to you getting better soon, so don't use this to poke people's hearts!"

Liu Xingmei said: "Sick people are already in danger and weak, and they can't bear the burden, so they have to rely on a little bit of support to slowly get better, which is not urgent."

Qiu Lanzhi said: "I love to listen to Xingmei's words, you should say less scaring words in the future, don't let people raise their hearts to their throats every day." Xingmei is right, this Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings have to be eaten, just bring me a bowl of dumplings, I will eat with your father, you two put the table in the West House to eat. ”

Liu Xingmei said: "I still put the table-"

Qiu Lanzhi said: "No, be obedient."

Liu Xingmei came out and picked up a big bowl of dumplings, and took out a few turquoise garlic cloves in a small porcelain jar and put them into the bowl. I took two pairs of chopsticks and brought a small saucer with half-mashed garlic. Because of the vegetarian diet, there is no stir-fried dish, just like a dry bowl, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not eaten with other leftovers with meat. When she saw Tao Zhenkun coming out, she said, "You bring a bowl of dumpling soup."

Liu Xingmei entered the house and handed the chopsticks to her mother-in-law and asked, "Do you want pickles?"

Qiu Lanzhi said, "No."

Tao Zhenkun put a bowl of dumpling soup on the kang.

Liu Xingmei said: "This soup is hot, I'll go get a spoon."

So she went to the outer room, took a porcelain spoon, and put it in a soup bowl.

Tao Zhenkun asked, "Dad, I'll help you sit up and eat?"

Tao Qisheng hesitated, the person looked extremely lazy and tired, and said, "I-"

Qiu Lanzhi said: "If you don't want to get up, just lie down, I'll feed you."

Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei stood on the ground and watched.

Tao Qisheng said: "You two should eat quickly, don't wait here."

Qiu Lanzhi said: "Don't poke it here, you two, eat it, don't let the dumplings get clumped, it's not good if it's cold."

"Mother, why do you want to shout." Liu Xingmei said.

"Okay, go ahead - wait a minute, get this garlic bowl." Qiu Lanzhi pulled the garlic chop into the dumpling bowl and handed it to Liu Xingmei.

The two of them just came out.

My father didn't ask if there were any missing steps in the paper process, maybe I wasn't in the mood to take care of it, maybe I trusted it completely. Only at this time, Tao Zhenkun could feel that he had not completed the assigned task, and he felt deeply guilty for this!

The two of them set up the kang table in the West House and brought the shallow dumplings to the table.

"I'm a little hungry." Liu Xingmei said.

"I also feel like the old intestines and old belly are fighting!" Tao Zhenkun rubbed his belly.

"Do you want to drink two more glasses?"

"I think you're addicted to alcohol, I can't control you!"

"There is wine today and drunk today, and there is no more exchange tomorrow. I didn't dare to drink it in front of my father and mother, for fear that they would be unhappy. ”

"That's—drink it if you want, take it."

Liu Xingmei went to get a pot full of wine and two cups.

In this way, the two men crossed their knees on the kang and ate and drank.

"There's nothing to cook either." Tao Zhenkun said.

"As the saying goes, 'dumplings are wine, and the more you eat, the more you have', and you can have food tomorrow."

"It's easy to quit just once. Eat more, and see which of us can eat that steel hammer. ”

The two of them dipped the dumplings in the garlic paste and ate them while drinking soju.

The folk custom of eating dumplings during the Spring Festival was quite popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Families usually wrap dumplings before 12 o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve and eat them when they arrive. At this time, it is the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month, and eating dumplings has become a 'new year'. It not only symbolizes festive reunion and auspiciousness, but also has the meaning of fortune and treasure because the shape of the dumpling is like an ingot. Dumplings have fillings, which make it easy for people to wrap various auspicious things in order to express their hopes for the new year. It is also a long-standing custom to wrap a few coins in a dumpling, and it is said that a person who bites into a steel hammer is considered lucky and will be lucky and auspicious in the coming year. In the dumplings of the Tao family, when Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei buns, after a lot of searching, they finally only found a dime coin of Manchukuo in the cabinet where the mother worshiped Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he could only put one.

Liu Xingmei sandwiched a dumpling in the bowl into two halves, put half of it into her mouth and chewed it, she was tasting it, and said: "It's all said that it's delicious but dumplings, this first bite is okay, the more you eat, the more you feel that it is not fragrant or smelly, the water is light, and this dumpling is boring!" It's better for you to eat more, so that you can eat it. ”

With a few dumplings in her stomach, her appetite was greatly reduced, and she did not expect to eat the only coin.

"You are hungry and eat sugar as sweet as honey, and honey is not sweet when you are full!"

Liu Xingmei stopped her chopsticks and said: "When I was at my mother's house, if the year was good, I would wrap a meatball dumpling on Chinese New Year's Eve, which was the fragrance of thieves.

Tao Zhenkun grinned and said, "It's a trouble to say that to you!"

Liu Xingmei was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the trouble?"

"If you think about it, you can't even fart to burst into oily flowers? Wouldn't it be a hassle to have to wash your pants!"

"You're looking for a draw!" Liu Xingmei raised her chopsticks and went to hit him.

Tao Zhenkun dodged away and said: "For the New Year, violence is taboo."

"Why do you have this vegetarian habit?"

"It's a custom, it's a rule, it's been for years. Vegetarian and don't eat meat, it's just this lunch of the New Year, I am a rule left by my ancestors, I can't make an exception!"

"What a rule-breaker this is, it's not good at all! In my opinion, your ancestors were also poor bastards. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I was poor and couldn't afford to eat meat, I changed the law and set up this rule to cover up my shame."

"You don't know, this is my ancestor who ate fasting and recited Buddha, so he set up a rule to show his piety."

"I think it's because I'm poor, and I can't even eat a meal of dumplings during the New Year, so I will justify myself by being a vegetarian!" Liu Xingmei said, and went down to the ground to put on her shoes.

"Why are you going?"

"I'm going to make an exception, change this custom and change this rule!"

Liu Xingmei went to the outhouse, and came back after a while, with a piece of wolf meat in her hand.

Tao Zhenkun was stunned and said: "If you let your father and mother know that you have made meat, you will definitely be blamed."

"Unless you're going to sue."

"I-"

Liu Xingmei put the meat in the bowl and took off her shoes to put on the kang.

"You are disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, and if you want to blame, you will be punished."

"Don't scare me with that, I'm not afraid." Liu Xingmei took a bite of the meat.

Tao Zhenkun stared at her stubbornly, and when he saw that he couldn't stop it, he said: "It's cold, it's not hot, you will have a stomachache if you eat it, don't run away with diarrhea."

"Don't be afraid, I don't care about winter and summer, I often drink cold water. It is said that eating dog meat and drinking soju is better than the gods, and eating wolf meat and drinking soju is also better than the gods, do you want to eat it too?"

"No!" Tao Zhenkun shook his head like a rattle.

"Then don't look at Liuhazi. There's one thing I'd like to ask you?"

"What's the matter?"

"Dad is only middle-aged, the age of the eldest aunt must be too big, not to mention the second aunt, according to this calculation, where can the grandparents be older, how can they not have it? I seem to have listened to my father's muttering at the beginning, because I didn't plan to marry you at that time, so I didn't have the heart to listen to it at that time. ”

"Now you should think that Yue Lao is right, and he ordered the mandarin duck spectrum, right? Do you have any thoughts that you can't enjoy?"

Liu Xingmei sighed lightly, and said quietly: "I think he was either asleep or drunk at the time, and now that the wood has been made into a boat, you and I are in the same boat, and if you jump down, you will have to drown, and you can only be on the verge of death, and the hard-working people will be miserable all the time!"

Tao Zhenkun smiled and said: "Look at your little chatter is very humorous, it makes me sad and caring!"

"That's the reality, it's probably past the time when I'm dreaming!"

"Why did you remember to ask this?"

"Isn't this idle chatter! I have become a member of the Tao family, so I should know about the Tao family, is there anything I can't do?"

Tao Zhenkun was in a daze, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I haven't even seen my grandparents, but I just know that when my grandmother was young, she was killed by a thunderbolt when she led her second aunt to prepare for rain under a big willow tree, and the second aunt also became mute. Grandpa is father and mother have been married for a long time and went out to work, but it has been more than 20 years, and he has not come back, I am afraid that he will die outside! Dad rarely mentions these things, maybe because he will be sad! The big willow tree is still there today, right by the river. ”

"What's going on in your house?"

"Who knows, it must be the ancestral grave buried in the wrong place!"
