Chapter 5 The grass is full of moon, and the Yun family is overjoyed
During the confinement, the mother-in-law took good care of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and did not say a word unpleasant, on the contrary, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be closer than before, and they could understand and understand each other better.
When the moon was almost full, Ming Qing's body bones obviously felt much better. She can move around and help with light work, but she can't get wet.
The mother-in-law knew that Ming Qing's body was weak after giving birth and had not fully recovered, so she ate fried rice with ginger and eggs, a bowl of chicken soup every day, and stared at Ming Qing to drink.
Seeing that it is about to be the day of the full moon on January 25th, whether to put the full moon wine or not, Yun Bride, no, now it is also Grandma Cao'er, began to think.
On January 20th, there are still 5 days left before the full moon of grass.
That night, after dinner, the bride called the family for a family meeting.
Old Yuntou and Yun Bride sat on the wooden single sofa on both sides of the tea table. The three brothers Yun Xin, Yun Gang, and Yun Jin sat casually on the small square stool next to the dinner table, and the Ming and Qing dynasties naturally sat next to Yun Xin.
Yun Yi and Yun Xiu sat on the small bench at the feet of their three elder brothers, holding a cheek raiser, and they were serious.
The Yun family is still very democratic, as long as it is not a special matter, every time there is a family meeting, Yun Bride will call Yun Yi and Yun Xiu too, so that they also feel that they are very important at home, and they can also count.
is also why Yun Yi and Yun Xiu are very concerned about family affairs at a young age, and they are also very serious about the work that Yun Bride has explained. They already feel that they are adults and can share the affairs of the family, especially when Cao'er was born, they have become uncles and aunts, and they are full of energy for family affairs.
"The big guy will rest later tonight, the grass is almost full moon, let's see if this full moon wine can be done, if so, what should we do."
Bride Yun cleared her throat and continued:
"This team has just announced the land reform, everyone is still living a tight life, it is not easy for our family to set up wine and entertain guests, and it is not easy for guests to delay their work when they come, and they have to buy gifts and give red envelopes."
Seeing that everyone was listening, Bride Yun continued to say:
"Let's just make it simpler, invite Cao'er and her grandmother's house to come over, and then invite the aunt in your city and my uncle and brother who work in the cement factory to come over for a meal, it's okay, these other people come to delay people's work, and they have to let people buy gifts and give red envelopes, it's not easy for anyone, it's just as simple as this." What do you say? ”
Grandma Cao'er didn't want to bother too much, but she also wanted to celebrate the arrival of her eldest granddaughter.
"According to me, you don't need to put it, hasn't Grandpa Cao'er been here in the confinement period?"
Lao Yuntou sat on the sofa with a look of indifference.
"I still want to set up wine, Cao'er is our eldest granddaughter after all, so I have to invite her grandparents and uncles to come over. Besides, we also have to talk to Aunt Yunxin and Uncle, not to mention the others, this is also almost the New Year, everyone will come to see the grass during the New Year. ”
Grandma Cao'er still attaches great importance to her eldest granddaughter.
"Do you have any opinions?"
Yun Bride looked at the brothers sitting on the chair and Ming Qing next to Yun Xin to ask for advice.
"Okay, that's it, this is a big deal for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and it's also a big deal for our brothers, Cao'er is the first grandchild's doll in our family, so I have to make it look like it."
Yungang interface said.
"Okay, that's it."
In addition to Yun Xin, Yun Bride is the most painful in her heart is Yun Gang, who can speak and do things, and is most like her.
"The boss's salary is paid to the family every month, and this work mainly depends on the boss's salary, so if you want to do this, it's okay."
Lao Yuntou expressed his opinion.
"My mother mentioned it like this, my father and second brother have no opinion, and it is not my turn to say anything, I will hold a full moon for my little niece, and I agree with both hands and feet."
Lao Sanyun Jin also expressed his position.
"Since everyone says so, then do it, my monthly salary is about to be paid, I see if I can go to the team in advance to spend money for the family, and now I can work in the field in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so I will help my mother more."
Yun Xin turned his head to look at his wife holding Cao'er and said.
"Okay. Everybody's really worried. ”
Ming Qing raised his head and glanced at Yun Xin affectionately, and turned his head to thank everyone. She has always been grateful for this family.
"Oh, don't go and talk to the team about withdrawing your salary in advance, it's all about the end of the month, don't make trouble for the team, you still have the money at home, you can get your salary and then give it to your family."
Yun Bride is the finance minister of the family, and she is very planned to use her money, she doesn't want her eldest son to be embarrassed, let alone embarrassed by her son - this requires everyone to withdraw in advance, isn't this the son of the captain?!
"Okay, then I'll give it to you as soon as my salary is paid."
Yunxin knew that what his mother said could be solved, so he was not in a hurry.
"What about the two of you? Any comments? “
Yun Bride seemed to think of her youngest son and little daughter at this time, and looked at Yun Yi and Yun Xiu with a smile on her face.
"Well, I'm okay!"
Yun Yi said loudly.
"I don't have a problem with that! Mother, what do you want me to do, just ask. “
In the end, her daughter is filial and caring, and Yunxiu is as diligent as her mother.
Early in the morning on the day of the full moon wine, before the sun rose, Grandma Cao'er picked up a load of things and took Cao'er's aunt and uncle to Cao'er's house.
Grandma's burden is full of small clothes for the grass in spring, summer, autumn and winter, small quilts, and some small pink toys.
Aunt Cao'er was carrying a basket of eggs, and Uncle Cao'er was carrying a bag of biscuits, and the two followed behind Grandma Cao'er.
This aunt and brother-in-law are only ten years old, and they are also very new and curious to be guests.
At seven o'clock in the morning in the southern winter, the ridges, the roads and the grass beside the trail are covered with a layer of frost, thin and white, as if they have experienced a whole night of sleep, and they also come out energetically to welcome the morning sun with everyone. But I didn't want the sun to come out, and soon they all began to melt into water, and became morning dew rolling among the blades of grass, shining with a seven-colored halo in the sun.
The fields on both sides of the road began to be filled with people. After greeting each other to those who had just arrived and those who had arrived early, they all bent down and were busy with their own work.
The whole field, quiet in the mist.
The figures of an old man and two children walked through the path behind their houses, then turned onto the avenue, walked three kilometers, crossed the ridge in front of Cao'er's village, and then crossed a small river, and entered the village.
Cao'er's house is at the top of the village, and the mother and wife go up the village.
The people who got up early looked at Grandma Cao'er carrying so many things, and the aunt and uncle were still carrying them in their hands, and they all greeted the lady with a smile:
"Yo, Grandma Cao'er is here? I picked a lot of gifts! ”
"Grandma arrived so early, do you want her granddaughter to think about it?"
"Your girl and boy are so old, aren't they?"
……
Here, the Yun family knew that their mother-in-law would come early, and they had already prepared tea and their own fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, and dried sweet potatoes on the coffee table.
Ming Qing and his daughter also got up early, freshened up and dressed, sat in the living room and waited for the arrival of Cao'er's grandmother's house, and finally saw his mother, Ming Qing was actually looking forward to it in his heart.
A beam of sunlight that had just risen fell through the doors and windows onto the gray concrete floor of the living room.
There were no floor tiles, and even the cement was only a thin layer of plastered, and in some places it seemed that the back of the red earth could still be seen.
In the middle of the warm white sunlight beam, you can see many white dust particles floating, and on this special day, the sunlight seems to be a little more joyful and lively.
Lao Yuntou made an exception today and didn't go to herd cattle, put on a brand-new navy blue coat, sat on the sofa, didn't speak, and ate melon seeds.
When Yun Gang and Yun Jin went out to work in the fields in the morning, their mother specially told them to come back early at noon to eat together.
Yun Xin helped her mother to work in the kitchen.
Yunyi and Yunxiu's mission is to receive guests. The two of them ran out of the door early in the morning to watch, and as soon as they saw that Cao'er's grandmother's house had arrived, Yun Yi rushed back to the house to report to his mother and eldest brother, and Yunxiu ran forward to welcome Cao'er's grandmother and Cao'er's uncle and aunt into the house.
Yun Xin came out of the kitchen and quickly took the burden from Cao'er's grandmother and put it next to the wall next to the dining table.
Bride Yun said while wiping the water for washing vegetables with her hands on her body:
"Oh, her grandmother, you came so early, drink a bowl of hot porridge first, uncle and auntie, you see if you like the peanuts on the table, I'll take the porridge."
After speaking, he went back to the kitchen, and Yunxiu cleverly followed into the kitchen, and brought out the porridge that his mother had taken out and gave it to Cao'er's grandmother and aunt and uncle respectively.
Yun Xin asked Yun Xin to bring the freshly boiled red eggs to the coffee table.
This red egg is a local practice, and no one can be less than a full moon to congratulate the child's new birth.
Lao Yuntou also greeted Grandma Cao'er and the two children, and said with a smile:
"Eat, eat, eat."
After he finished speaking, he peeled an egg for Cao'er's grandmother and aunt who were drinking porridge, handed it over, and peeled another one for himself to eat.
Lao Yuntou has always been free and comfortable, and his daughter-in-law is in charge of everything at home, either he raises his ass to play with the people in the village, or he uses an excuse to herd cattle, or he sits at home and eats melon seeds by himself, and he doesn't talk too much. This is the first time to peel eggs for my mother-in-law so enthusiastically. It seems that Cao'er's important level in his heart has also risen several notches.
Yunxin put down the work in his hand to talk to Grandma Cao'er. After Cao'er's aunt and uncle finished eating, they rushed around the Ming and Qing dynasties to hug Cao'er.
While shuttling between the living room and the kitchen, the bride came out from time to time to say a few words to her own mother in the living room. Yun Yi served tea and poured water in the living room, and Yun Xiu helped in the kitchen.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the eldest sister and younger brother from Yun Bride City also came over, bringing clothes and toys for Cao'er, as well as biscuits and snacks for the half-grown girls in the family. The family is so lively.
At noon, Cao'er's two uncles, Yun Gang and Yun Jin, also returned home. Grandma Cao'er greeted her enthusiastically, and praised the two guys in front of everyone, but she was embarrassed to praise the two. The room was filled with laughter.
At lunchtime, four children eat at a small table, and ten adults sit around the big round table in the living room of the Yun family, toasting and drinking soup, and everyone has a bowl of soup soaked in ginger and fried eggs in front of them, which is called ginger wine soup.
The method of ginger wine soup is very simple, that is, the eggs are scattered, the ginger is shredded or sliced and fried in oil, and then the eggs are spread out after the fragrance, and the eggs are directly drawn into small pieces with a spatula, poured into the rice wine brewed by the villagers at home, and then put some green onions after boiling the water, and it is done.
Ginger wine soup is a soup dish made by the family baby during the full moon, and the locals also call the full moon wine to drink ginger wine.
Cao'er also seemed to feel the birthday celebration given to her by her family, and she had a very happy time with her aunt and uncle and aunt on this day, and she seemed to laugh when she met people, which made everyone want to hug her and touch her joy.
From this day on, Cao'er had her own place in the Yun family, in front of the Yun family's relatives. Of course, Cao'er doesn't know this, but Ming and Qing know it well.
