Chapter Forty-Eight: The Second New Year's Tea Party
"Elders, brothers and sisters, good evening, Huzi is here to give you New Year's greetings in advance, Happy New Year, in order to greet the elders, Huzi is here to kowtow to the elders."
As he spoke, Huzi knelt down on the platform on his knees, and kowtowed three heads respectfully, "These three heads are exquisite, the first head, I wish you all good health in the coming year, the second head, I wish the elders a happy family, the third head is for our children, I wish us all a year older, good health, joy and happiness, not beaten by the elders, okay, don't gossip, last year, although our tea party was not too satisfactory, but everyone agreed that it was a perfect and harmonious tea party, so, At everyone's request, we will continue this year, according to Brother Heng, last year's food was too little, and even the most important food, dumplings, how can this be done, so, the first show this year is to make dumplings, let's all make dumplings together, and, while making dumplings, you can also listen to me give you a nag. ”
Huzi does have a set of organizational skills for this public matter, looking at what he said, it was all set in a set, and even said, no one would know that he said this, Yang Heng just arranged an order.
For this dumpling, Yang Heng made a contribution in the second half of the year, and even wasted a lot of seasonal vegetables, but this is not a waste, mainly because there are too many plants, not only the family planted, but also the uncles' families also planted, and the vegetables planted, in addition to eating themselves, were also sent back to the village for their parents and brothers to eat, but there was still a lot of leftovers, and Yang Heng's method was to simply process some vegetables that could not be eaten, and then put them in the sun to dry, but he could not predict the weather, Make ten times, it would be good to have one day to cooperate, and although the nine times can be taken back in time, it is no longer suitable for storage, Yang Heng needs urgently dried vegetables, this Yang Heng has also done it in his previous life, this kind of processing method of vegetables, when eating, as long as it is soaked in warm boiling water, it is basically not much different from fresh, and it tastes slightly worse, but it is much stronger than those vegetables that are cooked and then dried.
In addition to these quick-drying vegetables, there are naturally some vegetables that can be stored and can survive the winter, such as woad, radish, etc., so this dumpling has a lot of fillings.
Everyone quickly put the panel away, this noodles are alive in the afternoon, now just rush into the dough, the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally everyone is good at it, so now there is no idle one for adults and children to do together.
"While it's time for us to make dumplings, let's first report to the elders about our learning this year, come, Brother Dandan, start with you."
When everyone started to make dumplings, the children's learning report began, why should you start with Dandan, because as a scholar, Dandan's is really the worst, his best is arithmetic, but at this time it can't be shown, if you say let him do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but this is not Yang Heng's previous life, when someone is calculating, there is a computer on the side calculating the real data, and he can quickly determine whether he is calculating right or wrong, so, on this night, arithmetic is useless.
"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate...... Hey, I've memorized it all, how's that. "Well, yes, yes, Dandan has memorized all this thousand-word essay, which is worthy of praise, Huzi, you continue."
"The next show, calligraphy performance, by the worm, the girl to perform writing, come to people, pen and paper." This paper and pen is specially purchased by the father for these children, a set of each person, there are inkstones, brushes, ink blocks, and naturally a few pieces of paper, but usually, no one will use these paper and ink, but the brush still has to be used, the uncle made some wooden boards, these wooden boards will change color once they are drenched in water, and if they are dried again, they will become the primary color, so during this time, the children have abandoned the sand table and used wooden boards and brushes instead, so that the words written are basically the same as those written in ink. Each person has a few wooden boards, all of which are written and sunny, so that it is the best time to practice calligraphy in the windy and sunny weather.
And writing on paper with ink, it's just a few days ago that the worm practiced a few pieces of paper with the girl, and all the children haven't been allowed to write, which is mainly because the worm and the girl write best, so these two people were selected to write and perform.
Who is this person, naturally it is Yang Heng, everyone else is making dumplings, and only Yang Heng is patrolling the surroundings, so Yang Heng can only do chores.
"Good, good, good words, good words." When the girl and the little worm took their words and showed them in front of everyone, there was a burst of applause, to be honest, no one really knows whether the word Lu Dao is good or not, the adults think that this child can write square words, it is really amazing, and Yang Heng thinks that the two of them write the same words as the textbook, and can't say whether the word is good or bad, naturally, it can be written the same as the textbook, that is good, indicating that this imitation is home, and Yang Heng does not understand the details.
When the words are finished, the dumplings are all wrapped, and the night also enters the time of the day, which was last year, the children are sleeping, but tonight, the children are still excited at this time, because there are some of their performances next.
"In the next program, there is an ugly and ugly passage of poetry, Guan Ju," "Guan Guan Ju dove, in the river island, my fair lady ......" "Stop, stop," the third uncle was anxious on the side, "Nephew Heng, what are you teaching, what kind of lady is this, what is there to ask for, can you say it to children." "This, hey, Yang Heng smiled a little bitterly, this is one of the poems in the Book of Songs, how can it be opposed by the third uncle, this is mainly because the uncles do not have a literati in their relationship, so once there are sentences involving men and women in it, their first reaction is not good, this, Yang Heng actually has to give the third uncle some explanations, it seems that next, not only teach children, adults should also let them learn something, otherwise, in a few years, maybe they will go to live in the city, and there may be many jokes at that time.
So, an opposition from the third uncle made Yang Heng make a decision, that is, let the adults learn everything in the future, even if they can't reach a very high level, they must also understand some various knowledge, and they will not make jokes in the city, not that Yang Heng is afraid of other people's jokes, but so that the uncles can interact with people well in the future.
