The catkins and poplar catkins in the entire Dongjia Village fluttered in the wind, just like heavy snow.

The season of eating elm money has passed, and now it is the season when the locust flowers are in full bloom, and recently Yun will often make some food mixed with locust flowers for his family, such as locust cakes, locust egg custard, locust soup and so on.

Yun's pregnancy has been three months and almost four months, the fetal image has been stabilized, and she will help Xue'er with some housework recently.

It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and no matter whether you are rich or poor in the countryside, you will make zongzi from door to door to celebrate.

Yun's also soaked glutinous rice and yellow rice in advance, and prepared fresh zongzi leaves and horse lotus.

Zongye is made of freshly picked reed leaves, Ma Lian this plant in the countryside almost every household will raise a few, its flowers are purple, divided into domestic and wild, generally wrapped Zongzi are used are domesticated Ma Lian.

Its leaf fibers are long and capricious, which is suitable for bundling zongzi without affecting the original taste of zongzi.

Xue'er will also wrap zongzi, but she will only wrap slightly smaller ones, and she won't make large zongzi. It's also because the hands are too small, and even if they can, they can't wrap up the big ones.

In Dong Xue'er's memory, Changhai County will race dragon boats on the Huitou River every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Yun is a person who loves to join in the fun, since marrying Dong Changhe, she has gone to see the dragon boat race twice, but this year she can't go because of pregnancy.

Although Cher is also curious about ancient dragon boat racing, she does not have a strong feeling to watch it.

Zongzi will generally be wrapped in advance and given to some good relatives and people before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Every year, Yun's will wrap two large pots of zongzi, one pot of glutinous rice and jujubes, and one pot of yellow rice and jujubes.

The traditional zongzi in the north are these two kinds, and they will not make as many fillings as in the south, and they are not used to eating that kind of fancy zongzi Xue'er.

Perhaps because she was a northerner in her previous life, she still felt that this traditional zongzi tasted more authentic.

The Yun family did not dislike the small rice dumplings wrapped by Xue'er, and still asked Xue'er to help.

The zongzi of Yun's bun are very large, four as big as Xue'er bun, which is bigger than an adult's fist. Cher was dumbfounded.

She has never seen such a big zongzi in her two lifetimes, maybe it is because of the slow work of the Yun family, she is making steamed buns, or making dumplings and making zongzi, this kind of entrapment is very big when eating and wrapping, Xue'er thinks that in Yun's heart, maybe this can save time.

Xue'er and Yun started making zongzi shortly after getting up in the morning, and they didn't finish wrapping until the afternoon.

Afraid of delaying the time of the evening meal, the family finished the evening meal before putting the wrapped zongzi into a large pot to cook.

There is only one big pot in the kitchen on the east side, so Xue'er has no choice but to simply clean up the kitchen on the west side and use the big pot here to cook zongzi at the same time.

Fortunately, you don't need to take care of the fire overnight, just boil it and smolder it with firewood.

After a busy day, she lay down on the kang very late, and at this time, Xue'er, who was tired, didn't want to move, and soon fell asleep and had no dreams all night.

However, the next morning, I ate fragrant jujube dumplings, which still made Xue'er happy.

Because zongzi is a food that is not easy to digest, it should be dipped in some white sugar when eating to help digestion.

Fresh reed leaves wrapped in fresh glutinous rice and rhubarb rice, plus the taste of authentic jujubes, the taste is richer and more authentic than the zongzi wrapped by modern mechanization.

Cher ate a small one, and the taste was really aftertaste.

In the middle of the morning, the housework at home was almost done, and Yun picked up ten glutinous rice dumplings, ten yellow rice dumplings, fifty eggs, and twenty duck eggs and goose eggs in the back basket.

The same portion was also prepared and placed in another basket, and the two copies were to be sent to the homes of the two elders separately.

The Yun family was not very good to Dong Xue'er's predecessor before, but she paid great attention to one thing, and never let Dong Xue'er go to the neighbor's house to play, nor would she let Dong Xue'er go to a relative's house alone.

She told Dong Xueer that girls should have self-respect and self-love, not to deal with boys, and not to let others take advantage.

The original owner Dong Xue'er doesn't understand, but Xue'er understands that this era attaches great importance to women's chastity, if her daughter is taken advantage of by others, then the family will really not be able to raise their heads and be people from now on.

Xue'er looks smart at a young age, and she looks good when she grows up, so the Yun family actually wants Xue'er not to be so beautiful.

So when Xue'er said that she wanted to give a gift to her grandmother's house, Yun rejected it in one bite, and explained patiently: "Xue'er, just go around the house, after all, it's close to home, you are a girl walking so far alone, how can you rest assured for your mother?"

You must know that not all good people in this world are good, there are always those who are not careful, always thinking of taking advantage of girls.

Mother wants you to remember this, you know? ”

Xue'er nodded obediently and said solemnly: "Mother, Xue'er remembered, Xue'er forgot for a while."

Thinking that my mother was pregnant, she couldn't go to give a gift to her, and my father got off work very late, so I thought about sharing some of it for the family. ”

"Mother knows, don't worry, mother has already told your father, your father will get off work early today, and then ride a horse to send it to the Boxing gift." Yun explained with a smile.

Her daughter is now more and more well-behaved and sensible, and she can do more things for the family, Yun can't bear to scold her anymore, she is anxious about the affairs of the family, how can she not understand?

After Yun's teaching his daughter, he prepared ten rice dumplings, twenty eggs, ten duck eggs, and five goose eggs, put them in a basket, and left Xue'er to take care of the house, while she went to Dong Changjiang's house with the basket.

This is already a very generous gift in the countryside in this era.

She is not a snob, mainly because she respects her eldest brother, so she will prepare a generous gift for Dong Changjiang during the festival every year.

Cai's also wrapped a large pot of zongzi, but the size was not as big as Yun's's, and she was making zongzi with Dong Yun'er at home at this time.

Seeing that the Yun family carried the basket into the courtyard, the Cai family hurriedly got up, wiped his hands on the apron, and happily said to the Yun family, who had already approached the kitchen: "Yo, what are you doing here, brother and sister?" ”

Dong Yun'er also got up, came out and said to the Yun family: "The second aunt is here." ”

The Yun family nodded at Dong Yun'er and said to the Cai family: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to give you a gift for the season." I didn't just wrap the zongzi, so I hurriedly sent it to my sister-in-law. You don't have too little, your younger siblings' family is not rich, you can take out so much, and your sister-in-law's family will try it. ”

Yun deliberately held his chest high, licked his stomach, and supported his waist with one hand, showing off his belly.
