At night, I picked up the God of Wealth water, filled the pots and pots at home, and set up the stumbling sticks, and the new year came in the family's sleep. The first day of the Lunar New Year in the seventh year of the seventh year came in a night of snow. People often say that the first day of the new year is idle, this is the rule since ancient times, the first day of the new year can not work, otherwise the year is a hard life. In this regard, the people of the village paid special attention.

Therefore, even if the road outside is not too easy to walk, Yang Houpu and Yang's mother, who have always been diligent, did not go to clean, and they should have woken up the children early on weekdays, but waited for them to wake up naturally. Maybe the vitality of the golden lotus seed has conditioned the body, even if there is not much obvious change, the healthy body with hidden vitality still makes Wen Juan extra energetic. After twenty years of life, she has also become accustomed to this kind of farm life of going to bed early and waking up early. But in the end, it was the first day of the new year, yesterday Chinese New Year's Eve talked to her father, slept a little late, Wen Juan rarely got up late, but just after seven o'clock, heard the sound of her father's activities outside, Wen Juan got up lightly, did not disturb the sleeping little sister on the other side dressed and went out.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was rare for Yang Houpu and Yang's mother not to get up too early, and Wenjuan was basically the kung fu of the front and back feet. "Mother, morning, I'll help you!" After combing her hair and loosely tying it behind her head, Wen Juan went into the kitchen to say hello to Mother Yang, who was adding water to the pot and preparing to cook, and went to the cauldron to find the filling basin.

The rule here in Xinsu is to eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year. The dumpling filling had been adjusted yesterday, and Wen Juan knocked a raw egg in it neatly with her hands and feet, and stirred it clockwise with chopsticks. Mother Yang had woken up in the basin yesterday. Now take it out and knead it again on the table, and the big rolling pin is rolled out into thin slices and cut out the neat dumpling skin.

Wen Juan picked up the dumpling wrapper on the lid of the pot made of sorghum stalks, put the dumpling filling in the middle, and began to make dumplings. The dumplings on Hou Yang's side are all cat ear dumplings, put the dumpling skin in the palm of your hand, pick up the chopsticks, put in the appropriate amount of filling, fold it in half and press it lightly, and the fingers cooperate with each other to flip it, and then overlap and press, and a cat ear dumpling that seems to be an ingots is freshly baked.

In terms of manual work, Wen Juan's hands are still quite dexterous, one by one dumplings are formed under her hands, and they are neatly placed on the lid of the pot, her hand speed is not slow, after Yang's mother rolled out the dumpling skin, she also joined it, her hand speed is faster than Wen Juan, the mother and daughter worked together, and it didn't take long to wrap the dumplings to be eaten in the morning.

Wen Juan saw that there was not much left, so she quickly lit the fire in the stove and began to boil water. The time is better, and when someone opens, Yang's mother is basically all wrapped, and the rows of dumplings are pushed into the boiling water, and after three rolls, all float up, and the dumplings are cooked.

When the rice was cooked, Mother Yang called up her little son and daughter, who rarely slept well, and ate hot dumplings after washing, and dipped Wen Juan took advantage of their washing time to use the dipping sauce mixed with aged vinegar, minced garlic, salt and a little chili oil, which was called an extra appetizer. Dumplings are rare meat fillings, Yang Wenjiang Yang Wenyu opened his belly, one person ate three bowls, one person ate two bowls, even the soup with water, the original soup turned into the original food, so unhappy. Mother Yang and Yang Houpu are both two bowls, and Yang Wenjuan also has a good appetite, so she used more than one bowl.

In order to save money for many years of school, I got used to the feeling of being a little full, and I could feel that I had some food in my stomach, Yang Wenjuan's appetite was not too big, and eating too much hurt her body, even if the dumplings were really fragrant, everything was pure and natural, and it was delicious, and she didn't force herself.

"If you can be like this every day, eat dumplings every day, and sleep until you wake up naturally, how nice it would be!" Finally willing to put down the bowl, Wen Yu, who couldn't eat, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Yang Wenjiang on the side nodded cooperatively, the New Year's Day is really nothing, yesterday the day before yesterday was the day before yesterday, and let him reminisce for a long time.

Mother Yang glanced at them angrily, a pair of whimsical lazy people, if it weren't for the first day of the Lunar New Year today, she would have to talk about them well. It's customary to be used to it, you still have to scold when you should scold, if you don't fight, you can't do it, and the little girl will forget it. She is optimistic about her youngest son Wenjiang, and she is also counting on Wenjiang to have the opportunity to be recommended to study more in the future, so as to find a good job in the city and find a good daughter-in-law!

"Yes, maybe you will be able to eat meat until you don't want to eat it!" With the memory of later generations, Wen Juan smiled and nodded in agreement, reform and opening up, land contracting... Just two or three years later, the policy has changed, the country's strength has risen, and the people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. However, before that, some reminders are still necessary: "But pie will not fall from the sky, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and what kind of life you want to live depends on your own efforts." Even if the conditions are good in the future, people who are incapable will be limited by life! ”

However, fortunately, these two children are still young and have many opportunities. The younger brother Wenjiang is now just in the second year of junior high school, and as soon as the door of next year's college entrance examination opens, as a fresh graduate the year after tomorrow, he has the opportunity to change his fate by jumping into the dragon gate.

And the little sister Wenyu, although she doesn't like to study, she has completed primary school and has some foundation. In the past two years, I have the opportunity to make up for her, and when the time comes, I will take a secondary school exam and learn some fashion design... Professional counterpart, in line with her beauty and pretty nature, let her carry forward her love, grasp a certain trend, and the future will not be bad.

Therefore, Wen Juan just got to the point, but she didn't preach too much. They have all passed from this age, this age is the time when they are full of youth and their self-opinions are unprecedentedly large, and others say too much, which will only make them disgusted, and the subtle changes between them will be more appropriate.

"Your third sister is right, no matter what you do, there is always nothing wrong with learning more, and it will not be wasted at any time!" Although Yang Houpu doesn't talk too much on weekdays, and he doesn't have too much jurisdiction over the two children, it may be his father's natural majesty and natural hierarchy that make his words more effective and more complied with.

For the three daughters, Yang Houpu is also more satisfied, it seems that he has experienced life and death, got engaged, and the three daughters have grown up a lot. Because the depression of the academic accident has dissipated, his eyebrows are more upright and energetic, and his attitude is more positive and optimistic, which makes him feel very relieved.

It's not that he loves the three daughters who are eccentric, but compared to other children, the three girls are the top among several children in terms of vision and thought, and it is not too much for him to value them more. Satisfied with the last sip of soup to drink, I don't know if it's his delusion, I always feel that the water at home is better recently, the child's mother's craftsmanship is better, and even his spirit feels more abundant than before. He just thinks that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the three daughters have a good home, or he trusts and respects Brother Shen's family, he is happy in his heart.

In fact, it is not an illusion that Yang Houpu has such a feeling. Instead, Wen Juan learned in detail that the lake water in her share of fortune is very nutritious and very beneficial to the human body, so she quietly replaced some of the water used on weekdays. Originally, there were no particularly obvious feelings in this, and the result of everything was mostly subtle changes, but Yang Houpu, as a doctor, was more sensitive to his own body, so he had some obvious personal feelings, but he inadvertently ignored them.

Whether or not to talk about children on the first day of the new year, this is the end of today's conversation. The first day of the Lunar New Year is the most comfortable, Yang Houpu first went out to find some old guys to talk, the two small ones also ran out of the door as fast as possible, for fear of being caught and continued to preach, Yang Mu and Wen Juan are responsible for cleaning up, cleaning up the pots and bowls of water is held in a special bucket, the water of the first day of the new year, is the financial water, can not be spilled, the second day of the first year can be poured open, this is the rule passed down from ancient times, the people in the village are consciously paying attention, no one wants to break the fortune in a year.
