Chapter 133: Zilong Zijie's Birthday
Adults don't drink alcohol for children, but you can take a sip during the Double Ninth Festival, there are two kinds of wine, one is chrysanthemum wine, and the other is dogwood wine.
Both of these wines have good meanings, so children are allowed to drink a little.
Dogwood is also known as mugwort, and it was used as a spice before the advent of chili peppers in China.
The taste is spicy and strong, with the effect of repelling insects, dispelling dampness, dispelling wind and evil, and driving away evil spirits, which can benefit the five internal organs and prolong life.
The adults in the family supervised the children, each person could only drink one sip, Siqi was quite looking forward to it, when it was her turn, she drank chrysanthemum brew first, a little bitter and a little spicy, and the taste was still good.
As soon as she drank the dogwood wine again, she completely collapsed, the wine was already very spicy, and with this spicy dogwood, she couldn't describe the feeling.
None of the children could tolerate the taste, and they all looked bitter after drinking, which amused the adults at the table.
Lin Changyuan said with a smile, "This is to drive away evil spirits, let you drink a sip is beneficial, hurry up and eat food and press it." ”
For children, wine is really unattractive, the dishes on this table are still good, Xuan's craftsmanship is really good, Siqi took a white chongyang cake, took a bite, and immediately reveled in that taste, a faint rice fragrance, mixed with the aroma of chrysanthemums.
Of course, chrysanthemums have a bitter taste, so this chongyang cake will inevitably have a bitter taste, if you are used to this taste, you will feel delicious, if you can't accept it at all, it is estimated that it will be difficult to swallow.
This meal is delicious, thinking that it is very satisfying, the ancients are really good, any festival is so ritualistic, I really hope that modern society can also pay attention to traditional festivals.
September 17 is Zilong's birthday, and 21 is Zijie's birthday.
According to the rules, on the day of the birthday, the duck eggs should be boiled to eat, and on this day, Xuan's prepared to cook duck eggs when he made breakfast, and Wu said with a smile, "Cook one for the children, our family has a better life this year, and it shouldn't be so economical." ”
Children should eat better, adults can save a little, this duck egg is quite easy to sell in the town, can be sold for a lot of money.
At breakfast, there was a pot of duck eggs than usual, and there were more children in the family, so each person had to cook so much.
Lin Dezheng said with a smile, "Today is Zilong Zijie's birthday, you two take it first." ”
Zijie happily hugged a duck egg in his hand, Zilong also took one, and then Wu beckoned the children to come and get it, everyone had it in their hands, but the adults did not.
Dream also looked around and felt a little uncomfortable, holding the duck eggs and wanting to eat them, but he was very sensible, so he ran to Lin Dezheng, raised his head and said, "Grandpa, my eggs are for you to eat." ”
Zilong also said, "Grandma, you eat this." ”
The old couple is touched, the children are older, and it is good to know that they feel sorry for their elders.
Wu smiled, "It's grandma who didn't think it through, I should cook one for everyone today, and you can eat it yourself." ”
The children were unwilling, so they all took out the eggs, and Siqi gave them to Xuan, "Mother, my sister and I can eat one, and you and your father can eat this." ”
Adults don't want to disappoint the child's heart, and the last pot of duck eggs is eaten by the family, which is happier than eating one for one.
After breakfast, Liu and Xuan took out a set of clothes from the house and called Zilong Zijie over.
Liu said with a smile, "Zilong, today is your birthday, you can't wear new clothes, this is made for you by the eldest mother, you can try to see if it fits, the first time the eldest mother made clothes for you, I am afraid that it will not be done well." ”
Zijie also had it, Xuan's pulled him to change it for him, Zilong glanced at his younger brother, and then at the clothes on his body, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Thank you, auntie, thank you, third aunt." He was so moved, he was worried these days, will his family forget their birthdays this year?
After boiling eggs in the morning, he was already very happy in his heart, but he didn't expect the eldest mother and the third aunt to make new clothes for them, which they would not have made for them when their mother was there before, only during the New Year.
Liu said with a smile, "Thank you for the family, this fabric was bought by your third aunt, and the third aunt is careful, and she has long been making clothes for you." ”
Zilong ran to Xie Xuan's family again, and his speech was incoherent, "Third aunt, be obedient, I will be obedient in the future, our brothers are fine, don't be naughty." ”
This time he couldn't hold back, he cried, he liked the clothes on his body so much, it was so comfortable.
Zijie saw his brother crying, and he cried too, the adults in this courtyard didn't feel good in their hearts, these two children had no mother.
Wu didn't expect Liu and Xuan to be so thoughtful, she was very happy in her heart, these two daughters-in-law were good, so she didn't have to worry about it.
"Zilong, you will be obedient in the future, no one in this family does not love you, don't think too much about the two of you." Wu touched his head.
The brothers were happy and moved, touched and touched their new clothes, and ran to show Lin Changgui.
"It's good-looking, it's good-looking." Lin Changgui smiled and nodded.
When the two of them went back to the house, Lin Changgui hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, brother and sister, thank you so much, I'm still worried, I don't know how to prepare clothes for them." ”
Xuanshi said, "Second brother doesn't have to be polite, just like my mother said, we are a family, and the children in the family will be the same in the future, and they will not be left behind in terms of food and clothing." ”
Lin Changgui really didn't know what to say, he was still blessed to have such a good family.
Zilong Zijie likes new clothes, but today he has to go up the mountain with his brothers and sisters to find pecans, and it is not okay to wear new clothes, so he changed into old clothes and carefully put away the new ones.
Zilong took his brother's hand and said, "Zijie, let's be more well-behaved in the future and don't let the family worry about it, okay?" ”
Zijie nodded, "I listen to my brother." ”
"Hmm."
When September was about to pass, Mrs. Zhang came to the house again, smiled and said hello to the Wu family, "Say hello to the old lady, the Chen family has closed the eight characters, and I will come to the door to give the dowry gift on the day of the first month, and on the eighth day of October, I specially came to inform me and prepare early." ”
This is really a happy event, as soon as the dowry gift is given, Meng Shan will be considered a member of the Chen family at that time.
Wu responded with a smile, "I'm bothering you, I've been running for Mengshan's family affairs these days, and now the matter is not over, when it is done, I will thank you well." ”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "What's this, this is all within my responsibility, I brought the news, the old aunt's family hurriedly prepares, it's not a few days." ”
