"I want to call Yun Chan to come and teach us well, she doesn't embroider a purse now, how can she be good in the future?" Lian Yanru was worried.

Mei Zixiang was about to refuse.

Yan Huan said: "Then call Yun Chan to teach Lian Lian how to be a female worker well, and also sharpen her temperament." ”

Mei Zixiang was embarrassed: "The master has a life, don't dare to disobey, I'm afraid that Yun Chan doesn't have such a big ability, it's better to find a female worker master for the sixth girl......"

"It's not that the female worker master has never been invited, and you don't know that child, she is disobedient." Lian Yanru was sincere: "Sister let Lao Qi come, I can't say that they have a deep sisterly relationship, and they follow Yun Chan to learn female workers, which is better than following the master." ”

Mei Zixiang had no choice but to respond.

She just didn't want to, she didn't know what Lian Yanru wanted her daughter to do.

But she didn't have a lot of worries, just a daughter, as long as it wasn't Yunyu, she could even give it up.

The days flickered, and it was the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

Get up early in the morning to eat "floating yuanzi", businessmen love to call it "ingots", in fact, it is the Lantern Festival, meaning the reunion of the old and the young, and the beauty of harmony.

Naturally, there will be a meeting in the evening.

Once the fifteenth year has passed, the year is over.

The kitchen prepared a variety of fillings for the Lantern Festival, including walnuts, jujube paste, bean paste, sugar, sesame, petals, and only the yellow cinnamon stuffing that Aunt Qian was happy about.

Yunjiao prepares glutinous rice flour and yellow cinnamon stuffing every year, and keeps the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month to make Huang Gui Lantern Festival for Aunt Qian.

Early in the morning, Aunt Qian's room was busy.

In the early years, there was a small pot in the pavilion, which could be placed on the stove in winter to cook some soup and water.

This Lantern Festival is boiled and eaten with a glutinous and sweet taste, and if it is fried, it is more refreshing.

Yun Jiao only ate it every year after she came back from Laizhou at the age of five, and she ate Yun Ting since she was a child.

In his early years, he felt guilty about Yan Huan, and he often came every fifteen, and now he has not seen him for several years.

A few years ago, Aunt Qian was still looking forward to him coming, and she always looked at the gate of the courtyard a few times every fifteenth morning.

Now that it's been a long time and I'm used to it, I don't care if he comes or not, she just hopes that a pair of children can live well, and she is content.

On the stove, the charcoal fire was neither big nor small, and a small pot was propped up on it, and the oil in it was rolling.

Aunt Qian took matters into her own hands, and Mama Qu and Mama Li worked together, watching the snow-white and round Lantern Festival get out of the pot one by one, and they were fried.

Yun Jiao was holding a plate on the side, staring at it with a blank eye.

"Stand farther away, don't wait for the oil to spill out and burn your face." Aunt Qian raised her hand and asked her to step back.

Yun Jiao took half a step back, and watched Aunt Qian fiddle with the Lantern Festival in the pot with chopsticks.

"Look at this color, it's almost." Aunt Qian beckoned to Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao held the plate and waited for Aunt Qian to pick up the lanterns in the pot one by one and put them on the plate.

When the pot was finished, she couldn't wait to pick up a Lantern Festival and take a small bite on the side.

"Huhu......" she exhaled hotly.

"Hot, huh?" Aunt Qian looked at her with a smile: "You slow down, no one will rob you." ”

"It's delicious, sweet and glutinous." Yun Jiao smiled and bent her eyes, and praised in her mouth.

"Pu Jia, you go and call my brother." She asked, turning her head.

"Yes." Pu Jia agreed, but her feet seemed to be immobile, and she glanced at the fried golden Lantern Festival again, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva again.

Yun Jiao saw that she didn't move, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at it, and she knew why she didn't move.

"I told you to see that your eyes were poisonous." She smiled and divided half of the Lantern Festival on the plate into the bowl on the side: "You take it out and share it with everyone, and then go and call my brother, and when it is fried too much, you will have something to eat." ”

"Thank you, girl." Pu Jia happily took the bowl.

"Pu Jia, this child, everything is good, it's delicious." Mama Qu said with a smile.

"It's so delicious, I'll just give it to her." Yun Jiao took another bite of the Lantern Festival.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to find my in-laws in the future." Mama Qu teased her.

"Why?" Yun Jiao was puzzled: "Isn't it good to have a bad reputation?" ”

Several of the adults laughed.

"I'm afraid of eating the poor husband's family." Mama Li also smiled and spoke.

"It's still young." Yun Jiao pursed her lips and smiled as she spoke.

"Also, she's as old as you, and she's still a child." Aunt Qian smiled, in fact, her master and servant could be so close, she was relieved in her heart.

Yun Jiao and Pu Jia are called master and servant, but they are actually like sisters, Pu Jia has followed Yun Jiao since she was a child, she protects Yun Jiao in everything and everything, Aunt Qian also knows in her heart, one more person protects her own girl, she is happy from the bottom of her heart, and she has never regarded Pu Jia as an outsider.

"Speaking of this gluttony, I think of a person." Mama Li said with glutinous rice noodles.

"What?" As soon as Yun Jiao heard Mama Li speak like this, she knew that there was a story to hear.

I couldn't take care of the Lantern Festival, so I came to sit next to her, and what she was most happy about since she was a child was to listen to the elders do homework.

"Auntie should know it." Mama Li glanced at Qian Fangguan: "It turns out that the old lady's house is in the old house on the outskirts of Dijing, doesn't she live in Hexi?" ”

"Hmm." Aunt Qian nodded.

"I'm talking about the first one in Hedong, do you recognize it?" Mama Li said.

"There are two mothers and sons in that family, and the son is a single?" Aunt Qian thought for a while.

"It's his house, and I'm talking about his mother-in-law earlier." Mama Li smiled.

"Did the bachelor ever marry a wife?" Aunt Qian was puzzled, she hadn't heard of it.

"He is older than your aunt, in the early years, when his father was there, he was quite prestigious in the village, and his mother didn't look down on any of them, saying that he could kick a daughter-in-law on his toes, and when he came, he became an old bachelor." Mama Li laughed.

"This man, he still can't talk too much." Mama Qu shook her head and sighed, she also recognized that family: "What happened later?" ”

It's been years since I said that, and I remember it...... The year before the birth of the ninth girl. Mama Li recalled: "There was a famine in the east that year, and refugees fled everywhere.

A woman was left in the village. ”

Mama Li spoke eloquently.

The woman's appearance is acceptable, and her figure is pretty, but she is only not good, and her skin is dark.

As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness, and when this person is black, he is not very beautiful when he looks at it.

She was not a girl, but a woman, and when she fled from the famine, she was separated from her family, and she could not be found, so she was helpless, so she was left in the village.

She fetched water by the well at the entrance of the village to drink, and when she met the villager, she asked if there was a single person in this village, and she was willing to marry him as his wife.

Someone said that Hedong is a single, and the name of this singleton is not bad, it is called Ping'an.
