Tang Xiaofu took out the needles and yarn for knitting sweaters and taught Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan to knit wool, starting with the simplest knitting pants, and they were all able to teach for about half an hour.

Tang Xiaofu quickly knitted a sweater and asked Fang Wenjing, "Wu Chunyan, are they back?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be yet." Fang Wenjing was clumsily weaving wool.

Tang Xiaofu said: "At the latest, Dad's unit should have a holiday on the 29th of the lunar month, we have to pay attention to the Tang family these days, and as soon as Dad comes back, I will go to him to ask him for the child support for me and my sister this month." ”

When the mother and daughter met again after seven days apart, they felt that they had something to say, so they refused to go to sleep, and they talked while knitting wool until late at night.

When she was sleeping, Tang Xiaofu found that Fang Wenjing had bought herself a new quilt, and even the quilt was new, and she was very moved.

At night, Fang Wenjing woke up several times, reached out and touched the thick stack of money sewn in the padded jacket, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep peacefully.

The next day is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, after breakfast, Fang Wenjing took her two daughters to visit the market, bought five four or five pounds of silver carp, there are grass carp and financial fish sold in the market, but these two fish are much more expensive than silver carp, in line with economy, Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter chose to buy silver carp, Fang Wenjing also bought a stone mill for the family.

This kind of small stone mill is available in many rural families, and you can grind it when you want to eat tofu, before Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter lived in the Tang family, grinding tofu has their share, and eating tofu does not have their share, this year's team has added their own bought, at least 30 catties of soybeans, can grind a lot of tofu, and then also bought a lot of pig's feet, pig tail, pig intestine and pig bones, which many people don't want, these things are sold very cheaply, and pig bones can be used to simmer soup.

I also bought ten catties of pork belly and five catties of lean meat, five catties of pork ribs and a few pork stomachs and pig ears, and bought a lot of potatoes, green onions, garlic and other vegetables, and also bought three roosters and some eggs.

Since someone bought chickens and eggs to sell in the city, the price of chickens and eggs has increased this year, but fortunately, Fang Wenjing bought a lot of eggs and duck eggs before.

The mother and daughter took the three big bags and small bags to the house, and met Tang Jianbin on the road.

Tang Jianbin saw that her mother and daughter were struggling to hold it, so she didn't speak, snatched the things in Tang Xiaofu's hand and left, and sent them to their house, leaving without even drinking a sip of water.

Fang Wenjing was a little reluctant, this kid was different from other people in the Tang family, and even Xiaolan had a different impression of him.

After returning home, the mother and daughter were busy.

Fang Wenjing began to kill fish, make sake lees fish, and the two sisters went to the pond to clean the pig's large intestine, pig's feet, pig's belly, pig's tail or something, this busy arrived at more than one o'clock in the afternoon, although she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, but Tang Xiaofu enjoyed this kind of busyness a year ago, which was the atmosphere of the New Year.

At noon, Fang Wenjing used the fish head to cook a pot of sauerkraut and fish head for rice, and after lunch, the three of them continued to be busy.

Tang Xiaofu took out a total of fifteen catties of broad beans from the team plus Fang Wenjing bought, washed them, and made fennel beans.

In my previous life, when I read Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji", I had a strong interest in fennel beans, so I did it once according to the method in Baidu, well~ The taste is not bad.

Generally, Hubei people fry broad beans directly as snacks for children to eat, which tests the children's teeth, Tang Xiaofu thinks that it is better to make fennel beans, and they can be eaten as snacks with wine, and the taste is better than directly fried and eaten, but the directly fried ones have a crispy fragrance and are also delicious.

Fennel beans are very simple to make, it is time-consuming, pick out the inferior beans that are eaten by color-changing insects, soak and drain them in water, add an appropriate amount of water after entering the pot, cook for about a quarter of an hour with a rapid fire, lift the lid of the pot, see that the periphery of the bean skin is wrinkled, and the middle is concave, immediately add fennel, cinnamon, salt and edible mountain naphthalene, and then simmer slowly, so that the condiment penetrates from the skin into the bean meat, and after the water is basically boiled dry, the lid is removed from the fire and cooled.

Tang Xiaofu makes fennel beans in one pot, and the other pot is used to marinate pig's feet, pork belly, and pig's large intestine, which need to be boiled and soaked in brine to taste.

Tang Xiaofu also put a few eggs in the brine when she was braised meat, and the eggs marinated with the meat are more delicious than the eggs marinated with marinade.

Seeing that it is going to be the New Year, to marinate vegetables, to fry things, you have to need a lot of firewood, plus waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve is not good to cut wood on the mountain, until the third year of the new year can cut wood on the mountain again, this is folklore, so you have to take advantage of these days to cut firewood, so Fang Wenjing went up the mountain to cut wood, before leaving, told the two daughters to wash what they must go to the pond together.

Tang Xiaofu and the two sisters both smiled and agreed, "Okay." ”

Fang Wenjing told her several times a day like this, but the two sisters didn't feel upset when they heard it too much, and every time they listened to it, their hearts warmed.

After an hour, Fang Wenjing came back from chopping a load of firewood and said to Tang Xiaofu, "I saw your father come back." ”

Tang Xiaofu said: "Wait first, don't be in a hurry, Dad will come back and we will ask for living expenses, and will tell Dad that he just came back and hasn't taken a breath yet, we are like a ghost to ask for money, as if he doesn't give it, even if you get the money, you have to take him and say, it's not cost-effective, I'll ask for it after dinner, and Dad will have nothing to say at that time." ”

"Okay." Fang Wenjing went out to chop wood again.

When she came back from chopping another load of firewood, it was dark, and Tang Xiaofu's fennel beans were ready, Tang Xiaolan couldn't wait to taste it, it was really delicious, in her eyes, her sister was like a god, she could do anything, it was amazing!

For dinner, I ate braised eggs and leftover sauerkraut fish heads at noon.

After eating, Tang Xiaofu was about to go to Tang's house, Fang Wenjing thought that the black light outside was blind, and she was not at ease, so she left Xiaolan to watch the door at home, and followed her, and when she arrived at the gate of Tang's courtyard, Tang Xiaofu asked Fang Wenjing to wait outside the courtyard gate, and she went in alone to ask for money.

Countrymen will not lock the hospital door as long as there are people in the house, and the Tang family is the same, Tang Xiaofu pushed open the hidden courtyard door and walked in, hearing the laughter coming from the hall.

Wu Chunyan and Tang Jianwu both came back with Tang Zhenzhong today.

The state-owned unit where Tang Zhenzhong is now has good welfare, and he has a box of apples, 10 catties of meat, 10 catties of fish, and 10 catties of eggs for the Chinese New Year.

Wu Chunyan and Tang Jianwu helped to bring the things back, and when they returned to the village, they were arrogant, as if this little bit of east could make the villagers change their view of the despicable character of the Tang family.

Some villagers couldn't stand it, so they deliberately sarcastically said: "Mrs. Wu, don't be swaggering about this little thing, you see that since your eldest daughter-in-law moved out of your Tang family, everyone has marinated bacon this year!" Today we also saw your eldest daughter-in-law and her two daughters buy a lot of pork belly and a few fish, and their lives are now good. ”

Wu Chunyan's face was dark at that time, how rich she was to be able to afford bacon.
