The hazelnuts fried by Han Jin are particularly fragrant, and the color is also good-looking, his arms are vigorous, and they are fried evenly, unlike other people's, some are pasted and some are not cooked, and they will not take a hand of black ash.

After frying the hazelnuts, he went on to fry the pine nuts, chestnuts and pecans, and as for the shelled peanuts he brought back, Xiangxiang was soaking them in salt and a lot of condiments, and he also soaked them in two pots, intending to make the same spiced peanuts and the same garlic peanuts. Looking at the various condiments in the basin, I knew that it would be delicious!

The roasted goods were all cooled, Xiangxiang washed the towel again, and planned to wipe it well, this Han Jin has watched her do it since she was a child, and she directly grabbed it and did it herself.

The fragrance of the things in the entrance is always very fine, and she will never be at ease until it is clean.

When it was all done, Xiaoshan also came back with the baked and dried quilt noodles, and several people began to paste the quilt again.

Most of the current quilts are white brokecloth, and the doughcloth is muslin, which is soft and comfortable to cover, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is easy to get dirty, it is not easy to clean, and it is easy to break if you wash it many times, so you need to starch the quilt.

The pulp quilt is very easy, the grinding pantun here is made of thick rice soup, it is said that other places also use starch to make a thin paste, put the washed and dried quilt into the rice soup, some people are troublesome, and the water is directly pulped after washing, but with Zhou Lanxiang's experience, it is better to dry it, so that the rice soup absorbed in the quilt is more, and the pulp comes out more smoothly, and it is easy to wash when washing in the future.

The quilt is put in the rice soup to absorb enough water, can not be twisted by hand, otherwise the pulp will be unevenly thick, hang it out directly to dry, after drying, rub the hard cloth with your hands to soften, and then fold it flat and flattened, you can sew the quilt.

On this day, Xiaoshan has been squatting in the old house fire wall to bake the quilt, of course, my sister filled his pocket with fragrant hazelnuts, pine nuts and big walnuts, and even a few eggs who helped behind his buttocks, and brought them a few crispy and sweet white radish, saying that they were afraid that they would eat too much fried food and get angry.

A few and a half children couldn't be happier on this day! Even for the Chinese New Year, their children are not allowed to let go of eating these fried goods, most of them are taken out on the day of the New Year, a child is divided into two or three small bowls, and there is no more after eating, many children are in their pockets one by one to calculate and eat until the fifteenth day of the first month!

It is the big white radish, it is also a rare good thing, the children can't eat any fruit all year round, at most in the autumn to eat some mountain red and astringent pears on the mountain, this winter, to the New Year, the family vegetable cellar dug well, but also can save the dozen cabbage and a few big radish, how can the child give Huohuo!

Besides, they are all half-grown children, and they can go to the production team as half laborers, and no one will treat them as children, let alone think about snacks.

Several children are particularly envious of Xiaoshan, especially Erdan, "Sister Xiaoxiang is so good!" Smiling all day long, Xiaoshan, our sister has never beaten you, right? ”

Xiaoshan glared at him: "Of course I haven't fought!" My sister never scolds, let alone hits! Of course, the focus of this kid's sentence is on the word "my sister".

A group of boys were even more surprised, everyone has many children in the family, all have sisters, and some even have several, none of them are like Sister Xiaoxiang, who has a good temper, cooks deliciously, is good to everyone, and looks good!

It's a good thing to have a good life!

A few boys gathered around the stove to bake the fire and eat snacks, and they were idle, and they began to think about finding something, "The old Wang family's family is still in the commune labor camp, I heard that there will be a night battle during the New Year, and they will definitely not come back if they don't start spring!" Now Wang Manyin and Wang Lao Wu are at home, hehe! ”

What's the point! They also bullied Sister Xiaoxiang! Especially that Wang Lao Wu, who is not as good as an old lady with a broken mouth, I used to pay attention to Sister Xiaoxiang, this is not good, that is not good!

A few of the boys put their heads together and began to mumble.

That day, the Tiangang wiped the black quilt and dried it one after another, and Han Jin's hands were big and energetic, and he rubbed it soft in a few clicks. In fact, other people's women don't have so much energy, and most of the pulp is soft with a mallet, but Xiangxiang has always been used to it, when they were young, Grandpa Han also had a lot of strength, and he thought that the mallet was troublesome, so he directly helped her rub it soft, and later Han Jin also helped rub it, and she forgot that there was such a thing as a mallet.

Xiangxiang carefully folded the quilt that was full of pleats after being rubbed soft, and when everyone sat on the kang to eat, there was a stack of quilts under the buttocks.

After eating in the evening, Xiangxiang began to sew quilts. In her previous life, she had seen the quilt covers of people in the city, and she could make a cover and put the quilt directly into it, but now the countryside uses quilts that separate the quilt and quilt surface, and you have to spread the quilt on the kang, put the cotton tire on it, and then spread the quilt surface, and then sew the quilt inside to the quilt surface, sew a circle around it, and sew a few more rows in the middle to fix the three layers.

Although it is very simple needlework, it is a test of the patience of housewives, some people evaluate whose women, they will say that look at the quilt sewn, thick needles and big threads, black threads are used in the white quilt, and the bag is rolled!

The quilt that rolls is definitely trying to save trouble, and there is no sewing in the middle.

Zhou Lanxiang sewed the quilt not to make people praise a good word, but she has always been a very careful and patient person, not only sewing the stitches finely, but even the corners of the folded back are neat and beautiful, and her hands are fast, watching her sew it unhurriedly, and a quilt will be sewn after a while.

Han Jin and Xiaoshan especially liked to watch Xiangxiang sew quilts when they were children, smelling the fresh smell of the freshly washed quilts, watching her with a gentle smile on her face, and sewing the cup with a few easy clicks, they threw themselves on the quilt and rolled around, and sometimes deliberately made trouble, and they couldn't get up on it.

Xiangxiang was so good-tempered that she got used to them, and directly rolled them into the quilt and made them laugh inside for a long time.

The two guys are now grown up, and they are trying to be a man, of course, it is impossible to make trouble again, but they stayed to put a needle on Xiangxiang, help her stretch the quilt or something, and did a very positive job, anyway, they just found all kinds of excuses and refused to leave, and they were in a very good mood around her to watch her make quilts.

People say that boys don't love home, but they think that it must be that the family is not good enough, like their family, there is a fragrance, the home is clean and warm, and they are happy every day, boys are also people, how can they not love home?

They have three beds of bedding, and it didn't take an hour to sew the fragrance, and on this day, the quilt was dismantled and fried, and even the window flowers were cut, and even the pot of narcissus was decorated with small red paper pieces in the shape of petals, and it was just time to go to bed after finishing it.

Even the old grandfather couldn't help but praise when he came to see it: "Xiaoxiang is really good at work!" I've never seen anyone more skillful and neat than her! "Think about the daughter-in-law at home, the three of them are busy all day, and they have to let him sleep under a quilt when it gets dark! And he was so busy that he didn't have time to make dinner, so the whole family nibbled on a dry cake!

Xiaoxiang not only sewed the futon so early, but also made a good meal with soup, soup and vegetables at night!

The next day was the day when the production team killed the pigs, and the front yard was lively early in the morning, and the whole team rushed over.

Now every family in the countryside raises pigs, but it is stipulated that a family can only raise one, and after the snow falls, it must be handed over to the state, called the task pig, and you will know by listening to the name that this is a breeding task that must be completed.

The production team also has people who specialize in raising pigs and herding pigs, and each production team also has a pig-raising task, and not only pigs, chickens, ducks and geese also have regulations, so there are only a few breeders in the team, and the number and catties are not enough when the task is handed in, and they will be punished and criticized.

Every year, the task set by the state is enough, and the remaining one or two can be killed and distributed to the members. This is also what everyone is looking forward to the most after a hard year.

As for the other poultry, of course, some eggs must be left for next year, and it is impossible to divide them.

This year, there are two pigs left in their sixth production team, which is the most in these years.

The strong laborers of the team had already prepared with ropes and sticks, and waited for the old captain to give an order to go down to catch the pigs and carry the pigs, and the children were scurrying in the crowd, screaming with excitement, and the women had already boiled three pots of boiling water in the big kitchen with three cauldrons of twelve seals in the production team, and waited for the pigs to be killed and their hair was removed.

Zhou Lanxiang and a few clean little daughters-in-law with good knife skills, under the leadership of Aunt Pole and Aunt Mai, lined up more than a dozen big vegetable piers in the team site, just cutting shredded sauerkraut locally, which is the most important material for making pig-killing vegetables.

A group of women next to him were not idle, peeling onions, garlic, and chili noodles, preparing to make pig-killing dishes later.

Kill the pig and divide the meat, then boil the head and hooves and pig blood in a pot, put the sauerkraut shreds and stew it to taste, and divide it among the big guys according to the head, it is a lively and lively year.

There are three large tube houses in the team headquarters, the two big kang shops in the north and south are burned hot, the women are busy with the things at hand with laughter, the children are tossing in and out, and everyone has an irrepressible smile on their faces!

When the old captain came over with the old man who was in charge of killing pigs, a group of strong laborers in the team spit on their hands and went to the pig farm to catch pigs.

Han Jin didn't follow to catch the pig, but gave the old captain's youngest grandson Tie Dan a handful of pine nuts, and led him to quietly say a few words to Aunt Mai, who smiled and beckoned to Zhou Lanxiang.

"Xiaoxiang, give you the key, you go to my house with Tie Dan and Jinzi, there is a bag of peppercorns on the pot table, which was bought by your uncle in the city a few days ago, and he is ready to make pig killing dishes today, I will be busy this morning. Then let Jinzi carry the big board next to the pot table, and put the meat later! ”

Just run an errand and find a half-grown child, but with the key to the captain's house, then you must find a proper person, and everyone doesn't take it seriously, of course Aunt Mai will let whoever she can trust.

By the time the pig was brought back and ready to be killed, Han Jin had already taken Xiangxiang back to the old mansion, and when the pig was killed, they would go back.

Xiangxiang has been afraid of seeing blood since she was a child, and he can't let her stay there and be scared again.
