Chapter 34: The Xu Family

Grandma Lin just thought she wanted to play, so she gave her a small piece of noodles.

Making this kind of pasta, for an elderly person like Grandma Lin, relies on years of experience and feeling. Even so, among the ten times she sent noodles, there were occasionally one or two times when the alkali was either big or small, Lin Xiaoxiao estimated that even if she took the old noodles made by her grandmother to make noodles, I am afraid the effect is not so good, and it is still a question whether it can be raised.

There were scissors at hand, and after Grandma Lin divided the dough, Lin Xiaoxiao cut them one by one according to Grandma Lin's method.

"Grandma, what is this for?" Lin Xiaoxiao had just cut a weird rabbit with an advanced impressionist style, and he saw the mold when he carried it.

The mold is round, but the size of a moon cake, and there are various patterns and fonts engraved in it

"This is used for dim sum and steamed buns." Grandma Lin said, cleaned up the set of molds, then put them on the table, sprinkled a lot of flour into the molds, and then put a large piece of dough in it, pressed it, and then wrapped in some bean paste filling, and wrapped and sealed the dough left outside.

Finally, with another "pop", the finished pastry is upside down.

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly leaned over, only to see that the pattern in the mold was clearly left on the pastry, which was the appearance of a rich peony.

One old and one young, even playing with it, Grandma Lin didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiao's hand was quite skillful, and she quickly memorized the skills she had taught once, and she could still do it decently.

Before the Spring Festival, the second child of the Lin family came to the Lin family again and put down his ...... That's right, put down another five dollars.

Although prices have risen slightly in recent years, and they are not as exaggerated as the currency depreciation later, what about the five yuan...... Purchasing power is a bit unreasonable.

When Second Uncle Lin went to the Lin family again, he didn't mention Lin Xiaoxiao's learning to paint, and this year, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't come up with any paintings for Dad Lin to hang on.

Although her painting skills have increased significantly this year, she has read so many albums and studied the application of ink color for so long, this year's painting skills are definitely much better than last year's, but no one has seen it with her own eyes, and Second Uncle Lin didn't dare to mention it again when she had forgotten about it.

Aunt Lin also came over on the twenty-eighth year of the year and sent some eggs and fish. Some were issued by my uncle's unit, and some were exchanged by my aunt for food stamps.

This year, Aunt Lin's life is obviously more tense than before, for no other reason, because the Lin family has Lin Xiaoxiao, a small rice bucket, and the steamed buns that could have been brought back can't be brought back because of Lin Xiaoxiao, so they can only consume their own food stamps.

Fortunately, the food stamps of her family's two and a half people could not be eaten in the first place, so it would not affect anything at all.

Grandma Lin is also used to not letting Aunt Lin take things away anymore, but it makes Lin Xiaoxiao secretly relieved - I didn't expect that there would be such a benefit in the amount of food she eaten? Mmmm, you can eat more in the future.

The Spring Festival is coming again, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my grandfather's house called all the children back, and the big and small ones sat in a full room.

The Xu family has many children, with three sons and two daughters. Lin Xiaoxiao's uncle's family gave birth to two cousins, the eldest sister Xu Xueqing is twenty this year, and the second sister Xu Xuelan is sixteen this year.

The second uncle's family has an older brother and an older sister, and the elder brother Xu Xuefeng is nineteen years old, has just graduated, and is in a state of unemployed vagrant. Sister Xu Xueying, who is only nine years old, is a very quiet girl.

The third uncle's family has a one-year-old brother Xiaolin Xiaoxiao, Xu Xuebin, with big eyes, who looks very clever and cute.

The aunt's family has two sisters, one is nineteen, named Zhang Hong, and the other is eighteen, named Zhang Mei. Among the two sisters, the eldest sister is a combination of the "ugliness" of the aunt and the aunt, with a big nose, small eyes, a big mouth, and a broken voice, while the second sister is a combination of the "beauty" of the aunt and the aunt, with big eyes, a goose egg face, and a tall figure.

As a result, the two sisters of the aunt's family often fought, and the cause was Zhang Hong's various jealousies and dissatisfaction.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the bed with the nine-year-old sister of the second uncle's family, Xu Xueying took a little doll, and the clothes on her body were still made by herself, and she was playing with Lin Xiaoxiao.

This sister's hands are very skillful and quiet, none of the girls in the Xu family are ugly, they all have big eyes, high nose bridges, and very beautiful appearances, but Sister Snow Shadow is not tall, but she is a little beauty in the shape of a bird.

The older brothers and sisters are sitting in the yard chatting at this time, the two younger ones are playing with dolls in the house, the grandfather is sitting on the Taishi chair and chatting with the two aunts, a group of daughters and daughters-in-law are busy in the kitchen, and the three uncles are all sitting in the room except for the third uncle.

"Bowen (Lin's father's name), is the old lady at home okay?" Grandpa likes Dad Lin, because, first of all, in terms of appearance, Dad Lin is obviously much more handsome than his aunt. Secondly, in terms of conversation, Dad Lin, who has a strict family background, is much higher than his aunt-in-law who has no knowledge, so he is deeply loved by his grandfather.

"You're in good health, and I'll bring you a good one when I come." Dad Lin smiled and responded to Grandpa's words.

Lin Xiaoxiao was playing with her sister, and peeked at Dad Lin, and then snickered - Dad Lin's face was a little red, and his eyes kept looking down when he spoke, obviously a little embarrassed! I really don't know, how can he and his father-in-law be so shy and polite?

"Xiaoxiao, let's go play in the yard for a while, shall we?" Xu Xueying found that Lin Xiaoxiao was a little absent-minded, thinking that she didn't like to play with dolls, so after thinking about it, she proposed to go out for a walk.

There was nothing fun in the house, and it was good to go out for a walk, so the two little girls, led by the big one, got out of bed one after the other.

"Ah, Shadow and Smile are laughing." As soon as the two sisters went out, the third uncle, who was standing at the door smoking a cigarette and chatting with a group of children, found the two.

The third uncle loves to play and make trouble, so let him follow his grandfather and uncle to sit and chat obediently in the house, and it is better to let the third uncle go to the river to fish.

Zhang Mei, the second sister of the aunt's family, was standing at the door, and when she saw the two younger sisters going out, she squatted in front of Lin Xiaoxiao and teased her: "Clown girl." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao ignored her.

"Deflated nose."

Lin Xiaoxiao continued to ignore her.

"Little eyes!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was still indifferent, glanced at Zhang Mei, and said calmly: "Sister, I haven't grown yet." ”

The men and women in the courtyard were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
