Chapter Ninety-Two: It's a Nightmare
Because the four things sent by Dong Changhe were not much, Feng Xianling cherished them very much.
He is a pragmatic person, and he will not hearsay things that he has not personally verified.
The people regard food as the sky, and Feng Xianling knows very well the value of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and now he still tries the food they make, and will only report it to the court truthfully after witnessing its production next year.
Therefore, today's Feng Ling'er was ordered by his father to personally stare at this lunch.
Not to mention how excited Feng County was when he tasted these things here, just talk about the Dong family.
Lunch was ready, and the family sat on the kang and sat around the kang table.
As the head of the family, Dong Changhe first spoke: "This year, our Dong family can be said to have gained a lot. First of all, 300 acres of wasteland were reclaimed, making our family the family with the most land in Dongjia Village.
Then it was Cher who found such high-yield good things as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and she could also turn waste into treasure and make canned food.
All this is inseparable from Cher's contributions, and the father will remember Cher's contribution to this family. ”
Dong Changhe and the Yun family privately calculated, and the silver earned this year was much less than the silver Dong Changhe earned this year.
In addition to sugar, the materials used to make canned food are very low. It's just three months of busy family life.
He raised a daughter from Xue'er, and he was a son who had been raised by someone else's family for a lifetime.
He and the Yun family are not stupid, and he knows this account better than anyone else.
And potatoes and sweet potatoes will also bring great benefits to him and the Dong family in the future, and these contributions are indeed made by Xue'er.
When Dong Changhe said this, he stared at Xue'er's eyes, his eyes were big, and his eyes were full of relief and appreciation.
"In the future, my father and your mother will be more attentive to you and teach you well."
The child is still young, and there are some things he can't say too clearly in front of her, so he can only make amends somewhere else.
Xue'er smiled and replied sweetly, "Xue'er is also the daughter of her father, she is a member of this family, and she should do things for this family." ”
Dong Changhe nodded appreciatively, "Okay, you are our good daughter." ”
He looked at the Yun clan again and said, "The lady has also worked hard all these years. Thank you for giving birth to the son of Cheng Ze for my husband, so that I have my own incense before the year of establishment.
The lady is also indispensable. In the past, there was no heir for the husband, and the heart was always erratic, and the husband would treat the mother well in the future. Let's treat the previous things as a nightmare, and don't worry about your husband!"
Xue'er could see that Dong Changhe was sincere when he said this.
He still has merit as a person, he bears the mistakes he makes, and he has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes. Unlike the Yun family, who are always dead ducks with hard mouths, it is difficult for her to admit her mistakes in person.
As the old saying goes, steel is easy to break, and such a character hurts others and hurts oneself.
Yun Shi was already moved at this time and didn't know what to say, she was the most unpleasant to listen to.
Knowing that it was not good to cry during the New Year, she resisted the urge to cry, and after a long time, she said, "Langjun, in the past, the concubine was not in good health, but now that we have Cheng Ze, the concubine is already satisfied."
Let's live a good life in the future, and let the past pass!"
In the past, she didn't have a son, she didn't complain that her husband treated her badly, but now she not only has a son, but the daughter who was once regarded as a "broom star" by herself is also so capable, she is honored.
Yun felt that since he was pregnant with his son, everything had changed, and this blessing was brought by his son.
Dong Changhe didn't know what his wife really thought in her heart, and said, "Okay, okay, our family will be good in the future, we will work together, and the days will always get better and better!"
His heart was a little touched, the corners of his beautiful mouth turned up, and from the light of his eyes, Cher could see that he had a vision for the future. Different from the casual feeling in the past, the whole body, from the inside to the outside, seems to be full of infinite power!
"Okay, let's continue to work hard in the new year, let's not say so much, let's go." Dong Changhe picked up his chopsticks and said to the Yun family and daughter.
Dong Chengze, the little guy, was already full, lying in swaddling clothes, eating his fingers with relish.
Dong Changhe drank the peach blossom brew he brewed, tasted the rare food happily, occasionally glanced at his son who ate his fingers, or smiled at Chao Xue'er with relief.
Even when he looked at Yun's eyes, he didn't seem to have the indifference and alienation in his memory, but had some feelings.
After eating lunch, cleaning up the leftovers, Dong Changhe packed some steamed buns and other things, and rode a horse to Sanjiagou to worship his ancestors. Yun and Xue'er began to prepare for the evening eclipse.
Dumplings originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and were pioneered by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. During the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called "crescent wonton".
By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wontons were "shaped like a glaive moon and eaten all over the world". At that time, dumplings were not fished out and eaten as they are today, but were eaten with soup. It wasn't until the Tang Dynasty that it was fished out and eaten separately like today.
Dumplings in the Daxi Dynasty are also a must-have food for people during the New Year, people will wrap it into the shape of ingots, and then wrap copper coins in it, and the people who eat it are full of blessings, taking the meaning of "more years old".
At this time, there are no fresh vegetables, and cabbage and pork are generally used as fillings, which means a hundred wealth.
For example, the Dong family has a single independent household and does not have an ancestral hall, after the dumplings are cooked, they must first take out a bowl and put it on the stove, and then place a pair of clean chopsticks on the bowl.
This first bowl of dumplings was used to invite the ancestors to eat.
Then, before eating dumplings, firecrackers are set off to scare away the monster "Nian". In this way, people can have good luck and good luck in the coming year.
Dong Changhe quickly turned around.
The winter night came early, and the dark earth seemed to be able to swallow everything at this time.
People lit the lanterns at home early, and the red lanterns lit up this peaceful and quiet mountain village, and also tore the darkness of the night.
After the evening eclipse, what follows is the New Year's Celebration, commonly known as the New Year's Fire.
Men and women of every household, old and young, have to keep the lights at home at night and do not sleep, people call it the New Year, also called the New Year.
Legend has it that every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the gods of heaven come to earth, and there is a one-legged god who will come to the bed of every house, and if he sees someone asleep, he will spread diseases on him.
Therefore, in order to pray for the family not to get sick in the new year, there is a saying to stay up for the new year.
