The coldest time of the year has arrived. The frozen thick on the Rouge River, it snowed a few days ago, and it was white everywhere, and the pink makeup was beautiful, but the cold wind blew. The cold wind blew on the face, and it was a smash.
Now the mixed rice cake is popular, the rice cake is to use good glutinous rice, wash and soak in water for a day and a night, wait for the soak to be steamed in the cage drawer, take out and put it into the mortar of pounding glutinous rice, pound it into a glutinous rice ball with a pestle, and wait

On this day, he took the basket and walked to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion. The road was cold, I only stomped my feet, seeing that I was about to reach the door, I trotted and wanted to enter the door quickly, I didn't want to step on a piece of broken ice, I fell on my back, and the basket slipped out of the distance, I didn't care about the pain, I got up and got up to get the basket, I didn't want to see the basket already to a withered hand to grab and lift up. Winter every soil technique.
When I looked up, I saw that it was a mother-in-law in her fifties and sixties, dressed in a tattered gray puff padded coat, and she could no longer see the original color, and she looked like she was from a poor family.
I saw this mother-in-law look at me in a daze, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she handed the basket back to me. I hurriedly took it and thanked it: "Thank you, mother-in-law, it's a cold day." Mother-in-law, where is this going? β
The mother-in-law smiled on her wrinkled face and pointed to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion: "There." I wondered, "Mother-in-law, is she looking for someone?" Which sister's relative is it? β
My mother-in-law shook her head and said nothing, so I picked her up and went in with her, not knowing what my mother-in-law was doing.
When I entered the Yanyu Pavilion, I saw Mr. Mo coming out, and when I saw that I had helped this mother-in-law, he frowned and said: "Mei Cai, isn't it that the bigger the more unruly, how did you help a beggar mother-in-law?" Give you some copper coins and her, send her out quickly, and show people what it looks like, just as Yanyu Pavilion is a porridge factory.
I hurriedly said: "This old woman seems to have come here to look for someone, I suspect which sister's relative, and I don't know how to ask, so I brought it." β
Mr. Mo took a closer look and gasped unconsciously: "This... Is this the Meixiang girl in the past? β
Girl? This is strange, could it be that this mother-in-law was also the sister of Yanyu Pavilion in the past?
But when I saw that Mr. Mo taught the little maid to call the housekeeper's mother-in-law, the housekeeper's mother-in-law saw it and was startled: "Girl,,,,, why is the girl so born nowγγγγγ β
The mother-in-law smiled stupidly: "Qingxingγγγγγ β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law hurriedly grabbed the hand of the mother-in-law Meixiang: "Girl, is the girl here looking for me?" β
The mother-in-law helped the mother-in-law in charge, and her face was sad: "The old fifth son is dead!" The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, but how can the old body live? WoohooΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Talking about old tears, it's not pitiful.
The housekeeper's mother-in-law hurriedly said, "This γγγγγγ The girl will mourn, and come and sit down to warm up, and talk about it in detail. Busy helping Granny Mei Xiang sit on the chaise longue next to the brazier.
Mother-in-law Mei Xiang trembled her lips and said sadly: "The fifth old manγγγγγγ But a good boy... No matter how filial you areγγγγγ I fell into the river and drowned! Now that no one cares about the old body, I can't see itγγγγγ β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law hurriedly asked, "What about the girl's remaining four sons?" Don't you care about the old lady? β
Mother-in-law Mei Xiang sighed: "Unfilial, unfilial, only the fifth child is a good child... It's hard work, and now it's γγγγγγ β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law said angrily: "When my aunt didn't have it early, the girl worked hard to raise a few children, and she actually gave her a hard time like this!" It's not that I said, it's really wolf-hearted! The girl doesn't need to say anything else, she is willing to come to vote for Qingxing, that is, she can afford Qingxing, and now the girl is in trouble, Qingxing will definitely treat the girl well, how to live up to the kindness of the master and servant in the early years, the girl can rest assured! β
It turned out that the housekeeper's mother-in-law was the maid of this Meixiang mother-in-law when she was young.
"Okay... Good..... With tears in her eyes, Mother-in-law Mei Xiang did not forget to brush her messy gray sideburns, she still loved beauty, which was really sad.
After the mother-in-law Mei Xiang helped the housekeeper into the house, I asked Mr. Mo: "Is Mother-in-law Mei Xiang the sister of this Yanyu Pavilion before?" β
Mr. Mo sighed: "In the past, she was also a beauty, and the current scenery of mandarin ducks is the same, but it is a pity that a scholar who married from a good husband is also from a solid family, and he doesn't want to marry in the past few years. β
Qinglou woman, how many good lives do you have? The young scenery and the bleak evening scene are not only Meixiang's mother-in-law.
On this day, I came to deliver supper again, and I saw a woman with high cheekbones and hanging eyes arguing with the housekeeper's mother-in-law.
The woman looked like she was twenty-six or seventeen years old, slender and tall, with a water snake waist, a slightly yellow complexion, some light freckles on her cheeks, a thin lip flying up and down, and she could speak well: "Mother-in-law, my mother doesn't bother your old man, she eats and drinks well at home, where does she come from to say that she is not filial?" I said that she had no son, and people were crazy and stupid to hurt, how could you trust her words? Let's teach her to go home with me, the old lady is in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, how can we not be laughed at! β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law said angrily: "You are obviously talking nonsense with your eyes open, Miss Meixiang's dress, if she is filial, can she become like that?" β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law said angrily: "You are obviously talking nonsense with your eyes open, Miss Meixiang's dress, if she is filial, can she become like that?" She is naturally beautiful, and she must be neat and clean when she is old, I don't know how you are abused! Although I don't have any other skills, I can speak in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion now, and I can't afford to support an old woman? Besides, Miss Mei Xiang though
said that people are dull, but there is no crazy and stupid appearance, you are innocent, why bother to curse your mother-in-law? β
Listening to the housekeeper's mother-in-law, this woman is afraid that she is the daughter-in-law of the mother-in-law of Meixiang.
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she clapped her hands and said, "Aren't you crazy and stupid?" My mother told you which son is gone? β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law said: "Isn't it the most filial fifth?" β
The daughter-in-law slapped her thigh: "Oh, isn't this the end, I'm the fifth daughter-in-law, the good end of our shopkeeper is at home, how can it be gone?" I don't know which tendon my mother is riding the wrong one, it's the eldest brother and the third brother, but the fifth brother is alive and well! β
"What?" The housekeeper's mother-in-law was surprised: "What do you say? The fifth child is not dead? Miss Mei Xiang has lost two sons next to her? β
The daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Isn't it! The eldest brother didn't get early, he didn't marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he fell into the ice cave and drowned, and the person was frozen in the ice, and it took a lot of effort to send it back, at that time my fifth child was still young, and I didn't remember much, but in the poor family, there was a litter of children, and there were children who died, and they were sad to pass, and they had to manage their livelihoods, so they had to survive, but after a few years, the third brother went to spearfish, and he also fell into the river, and the water was good, and he didn't float up. Now my mother is old, and every day is not as good as a day, but she is not crazy and stupid, she thinks about her son every day, only
Know to sit at the door and cry the old five! Tell me, Lao Wu eats and drinks every day, and you have to give her a spell! β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law half-believed and asked, "Is this true?" The Meixiang girl's dress ......"
The daughter-in-law said: "Don't you know, my mother is indeed the best in the sky, but when she is old, she has added some crazy and stupid problems, and her son doesn't know it, where can I take care of my own appearance, the second brother's family, the fourth brother's family."
And our family takes turns to wash and serve every day, which is easy! Somehow my mother made this madness again, she ran out of the house, and came to this smoke and rain pavilion, we couldn't find it, or I heard the neighbors mention that they seemed to see it here, so I found it, it's not that I don't have a sense of proportion, the old lady is so old, and she still comes to the old owner's house, who hears it is not a joke! Let's quickly teach her to go home with me, don't embarrass us to be juniors! β
The housekeeper's mother-in-law persuaded the five daughters-in-law, but she was also a little hesitant, so she had to reluctantly say: "Breaking up the mother and son of the family is not considered any merit, but if the girl is abused with your family, I will not follow it, and the Yanyu Pavilion can also be regarded as her maiden family. This time, if I hear that the girl has been aggrieved, my wife will not give up with you. β
When the five daughters-in-law heard this, they hurriedly smiled and said: "There is no mother-in-law in the world who is so reasonable, my mother has a righteous sister like you, but it is also a blessing in the previous life, mother-in-law rest assured, we have a few concubines, we only treat our mothers as our mothers, and we must not be wronged by our mothers!"
When the housekeeper's mother-in-law heard about it, she took the five daughters-in-law to pick up Meixiang's mother-in-law and went home. I didn't see anything wrong with me, so I walked away to deliver supper.
When I sent the supper and planned to go home from the corridor, I saw the thin strips of the fifth daughter-in-law holding the back of Granny Mei Xiang walking away in the snow, and Granny Mei Xiang reluctantly looked back at the direction of the Yanyu Pavilion, and urged the five daughters-in-law to leave.
Hearing a sigh behind me, I looked back and saw that it was the housekeeper's mother-in-law. I asked, "Mother-in-law, isn't Granny Meixiang's daughter-in-law very filial?" Why did the mother-in-law sigh? β
