Mingyue's words were full of suggestiveness, San Lang was the first to react, and as soon as he turned around, he threw himself into Mrs. Ming's arms, "Milk~Milk~ I also want to eat two more~"

Mrs. Ming smiled dotingly, "Okay, my baby and my grandson will share a string." ”

Xie was about to reprimand San Lang for a few words, but Shiro had already jumped into the arms of his own mother, "Mother~Mother~ I also want to eat two more~"

When Gorou saw the two brothers' actions, he hurriedly turned around and threw himself into his father's arms, "Dad~~"

Mingtang couldn't stand still laughing, "Oh, my big girl's cleverness." Cheng, Cheng, and Dad also divided two more of our Goro. ”

In fact, adults don't have much interest in sugar gourds, that is, children don't beg, and they won't really stuff them into their mouths in three or four later.

What Mingyue is doing now is more just to mobilize all the juniors in the family to be cute and cute, and to entertain the adults with colorful clothes, and to make the adults happy.

And the final result was just as Mingyue expected, the eight adults in the family only symbolically ate one into their stomachs, and the rest all went into the stomachs of the eight juniors, including Ming Xu.

Erlang ate the most, Ming Xu and Xiao Mingxue, who were still young, ate the least, and Mingyue and Yu Jiayan ate five sugar-coated pitted hawthorns each.

After eating the sugar gourd, Mrs. Ming resolutely did not let them eat other snacks, "It's not early, it's time for dinner, those things are still left for you to eat slowly in the future." ”

Although Erlang and the other little children felt a little regretful, but when they thought of the roast chicken they brought back, a few Tao boys immediately became happy again - the taste of happiness is the taste of meat and sweets for them, and if they can't eat this, it is also excellent to eat like that.

The family sat around and had dinner happily.

After the meal, Tao first helped Xie wash the dishes, and then took out the clay pot to decoct himself and drink.

The old doctor in the county prescribed her medicine for half a month, and asked her to go to the county again after taking it, and he would consider changing her prescription at that time.

If it was just like this, Tao would not be happy like this, after all, when she just gave birth to Mingyue, the Ming family also asked a doctor to condition her body, but the few doctors who had been invited at that time only dared to guarantee to leave her life.

She was able to look forward to and be happy because the old doctor gave her a package ticket, saying that she would definitely be able to return to normal levels.

With the words of the old doctor, Tao is now full of beautiful hopes for the inheritance of the in-laws' family as soon as possible.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the depression and sorrow between Tao's eyebrows have been swept away because of this county medical treatment, and now she is very energetic, and at first glance she even has a radiant meaning.

***

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the Ming family received the second batch of off-season small green vegetables from their own family, and then sent the vegetables to the Jufu Restaurant in the town early in the morning.

The other few also received the dishes at the same time as the Ming family, not that they made an appointment in advance, but the old shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant specially sent a letter, saying that their owner wanted to send this batch of goods to the county seat before the new year.

This time, Mingyue didn't go with her, and the New Year was coming soon, so she had to stay at home to help Mrs. Ming and other female relatives prepare all kinds of authentic and delicious farm food.

The first is to wrap dumplings and steamed rice cakes.

To make dumplings, you need to grind yellow rice into flour and roll it into dough, steam or cook small red beans to make the original bean paste filling with particles, and then wrap the bean paste filling into the dough cake and steam it in a pot like making steamed buns.

The process of steaming rice cakes is much simpler, just spread the large red beans at the bottom of the steamer, and then sprinkle the yellow rice noodles layer by layer on the red beans, and then put the steamer on the stove to steam.

This job is said to be simple, but it really requires a certain amount of technical content, not to mention, just say that they are Wulitun, many people make rice cakes, which inevitably have various flaws.

What is half-cooked, with dry flour in it, soft and ugly shape, in short, there are all kinds of unsuccessful examples.

Of course, none of these situations will appear in the Ming family, and all the women of the Ming family can cook a good meal.

Mingyue swallowed saliva silently while helping the female elders in the family to work, and when the dumplings and rice cakes came out of the pot, she immediately couldn't wait to dip them in brown sugar and eat a round stomach.

Fortunately, Erlang and other Tao boys can eat better than her, and her little food is not obvious at all.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Ming picked up more than 20 of the dumplings in the pot by a few gluttonous boys in the family.

"It's not a meal now." Mrs. Ming sighed with a smile while wrapping up the dumplings.

Xie Shi glared at his three greedy boys a few times, "You don't know how to take it easy!" ”

Erlang and the others grinned, and they didn't take Xie's painless rebuke to heart at all.

When Mingdi rushed back to his house from the town, Mrs. Ming sent him to send tofu, rice cakes and dumplings to Minghe in the town and Mingju in Daqinggou.

This is also the old rule of the Ming family, every year before the Chinese New Year, the Ming family has to send home-made tofu, rice cakes, and dumplings to the two married daughters.

Different from previous years, this year, the Ming family also added two rabbits to Minghe and five catties of fine pork belly to Mingju.

The return gift given by Minghe and Mingju is also a little heavier than last year, firstly, the Ming family has given more things this year than in previous years, and secondly, they have added extra money by planting out-of-season vegetables with the Ming family.

It was busy until Shen Shizhong (four o'clock in the afternoon), and all the yellow rice noodles and bean paste fillings prepared by Mrs. Ming were consumed.

The women, who had been tired for more than eight hours, could not rest immediately, so they first stewed a sauerkraut tofu, fried a fungus cabbage, scooped up two bowls of pickles, and then cut the rice cake that had been slightly cold into small pieces and served it on the kang table.

"Eat it while it's hot." Mrs. Ming took off her apron and took the sugar jar and added a small spoonful of sugar to each person's bowl.

Mingyue held the bowl and ate happily - she had been busy for most of the day, and the ones she had eaten before had already been consumed by her.

The rice cakes are delicious, the dumplings are delicious, the sauerkraut and tofu are also delicious, and occasionally a chopsticks fungus and cabbage are used to change the taste, which is simply delicious.

It was rare for Mrs. Ming to see Mingyue eating so energetically, and she wanted to let her go, but she was afraid that she would accumulate food if she ate sticky things.

Fortunately, Mingyue herself is a measured person, and she put off her chopsticks immediately after eating.

One. There are no words in the night.

The next day is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the New Year in the north.

In addition to continuing to go up the mountain to check for traps and continue to plant out-of-season greens in the house, the Ming family also began to worship the god of the stove, cut window flowers, and make dumplings like other families.

Worshipping the god of the stove and cutting window flowers have nothing to do with the little children, their eyes are always fixed on the sugar melons and dumplings that can be eaten on this day.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Ming divided each of the children with an irregular round sugar melon made of maltose, and Erlang and the others went to the village to play crazy with joy in their mouths, but Yu Jiayan was very sensible and Mingyue together, helping the adults in the family to feed the chickens, pigs, and rabbits.
