When I came back from eating slurry water at the old Song family, I had to keep watch for the New Year that night, and when the idea was not enough to support the seed, fortunately, the lily had already prepared and wanted to stew angelica mutton soup to eat.

The previously killed mutton selects the lean meat at the ribs, washes it in clean water, and then washes a few dollars of longan, angelica, red dates and wolfberries, and soak them in water. Chop the lamb into pieces, blanch them in boiling water, and skim off the foam. This trick can be used for most meats, it can wash away the blood and make the meat more delicious, but there are not many people who can use it in the countryside, and most country women cook with salt when they cook, so it's no wonder that everyone says lily

Delicious cooking.

Ginger scrapes off the outer layer of skin, cuts it into slices, and uses a chopstick to top out the red date core.

Put the lamb and all these things together, add plenty of cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, skim the foam again, and slowly simmer over low heat.

The broth slowly simmered on the fire to create a fragrant aroma, and Lily said to Song Haonian, who was helping her burn the fire: "It's cold, let's go sit on the kang and take a look at the fire every once in a while." ”

Song Haonian said: "Okay." Holding hands with Lily to the east chamber next door, unfolding the futon and sitting down, I felt that the warm kang under my body was really comfortable.

He said, "Aren't you happy that my mother said that to my sister-in-law today?"

Lily shook her head and said, "I don't want to have a child, but I can't get fate, and I can't rush it." If others say that it is just a sea of collapse, look at the eyebrows and eyes of the sister-in-law, where is the appearance of saying good things?"

When Song Haonian was still at home, she was not less affected by Dong's eyes, and knew that her sister-in-law was not a generous and enthusiastic person, she was obviously persuading Lily to have children, but in fact she was secretly accusing her of not being able to have children.

"Let's not be angry with her," Song Haonian said, "She said you, I'll find trouble with the eldest brother, to see if she wants to compete with you or live comfortably with the eldest brother." ”

With her husband's intimacy, Lily laughed all of a sudden, "She's just a little insight into a woman's family, what do you have to do with her, it seems that you are not generous." ”

"I handle the affairs of our women's family by myself. "Lily herself is not a person who likes to bite this and step on that in the pile of women, she just wants to live her life well, and try not to see people like Dong.

But Dong wants to bully her, she will not be soft, Dong is not a smart person, the pigtails grab a handful, just see if Lily is willing to deal with her.

Lily said again: "Speaking of having children, I'm a little afraid, what if you don't like it in your life?"

Song Haonian smiled: "As long as you gave birth, I like it." I have been wronged by my father's partiality, but I can't let our children suffer such grievances again. ”

The two young couples ate dried fruit preserves together, and discussed with a smile how many male and female babies they would have in the future, and what names they wanted to call were very sweet.

Song Haonian said: "This year, I made a wish in front of my ancestors, begging them to give us a child in the coming year, and I will kill a sheep to thank you next year." ”

Lily said: "I think the ancestors of the Song family are very spiritual, maybe we will have dolls in the coming year." ”

The two of them said some crooked things again, and when they arrived, Song Haonian went to the yard to set off a string of firecrackers, the sound was huge, and the smell of gunpowder came into the house, and there was indeed a kind of righteousness to drive away evil and avoid evil.

Song Haonian took the oil lamp and illuminated the lily to the kitchen. Lily stirred the broth in the pot, the aroma was fragrant, and he looked back and smiled: "Are you hungry?"

Lily estimated the taste and added salt and pepper to the soup, Song Haonian was afraid that she would burn herself by mistake, so he hurriedly said, "Don't move, I'll come." "Pick up the soup pot yourself.

Lily put a spoon in the soup pot, held the oil lamp in one hand and two bowls in the other, and used the bowl to protect the side of the oil lamp The wind blew out, and the two young couples walked back to the east chamber and put the pot next to the brazier.

Lily scooped two bowls of soup and put them on the kang table, Song Haonian served one bowl first, offered it everywhere, and then came back to eat meat and drink soup.

The mutton in the north has no smell, only the meat aroma, the stew is extremely delicious, and the aroma of angelica is even more pleasant.

The mutton is tender and soft, and the milky white soup is sweet and fragrant, and you can feel the nourishment of the body when you eat it.

Both of them love this taste, eat a bowl of meat and drink the soup slowly, the soup tastes better than the meat, the stomach is warm, and the room is full of mutton aroma.

After eating for a while, Song Haonian took the pots and bowls to the kitchen, came back and said with a smile: "Mutton is really a good thing, I don't feel cold at all when I eat a bowl." ”

Lily smiled: "It's all over here, your eyes are still bright." ”

He leaned over and pecked her twice on the lips, stuck out his tongue and licked it: "You just wiped the lipstick, sweet." ”

This lipstick is newly bought, it can prevent chapped lips, and the lily is only applied to the lips, and I haven't tasted anything. As soon as Song Haonian said, she stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked her lips, saying, "It's not sweet." ”

But I didn't know that mutton was the hottest, Song Haonian couldn't stand the teasing at this age, and her eyes were already not quite right, and her small action caused him to be so excited that he threw her down on the kang like a wolf.

The two young couples have been tossing until the fourth watch before falling asleep, and they were woken up by the big rooster at home in the morning of the first day of the new year.

The lily spirit is not very good all day on the first day of the new year, but fortunately, other people are not in good spirits because of the first night of vigil, coupled with the joy of the New Year, no one said strange things to add to the blockage, and suddenly a day will be mixed.

Only Niu's complained when he met people: "The second child of my family is not young, his father is at his age, I am about to give birth to the third child, and he has every one of his children and daughters, and I am anxious." ”

These children are the most popular, and there are a large number of old women of about the same age who talk to her, some say that they have no grandchildren, some complain that their daughters-in-law only have daughters and not sons, and some show off that they have many grandchildren.

Even the patriarch's wife said: "In the past, I saw that it was common for you to stay in the New Year, and only then did I know that my mother was my mother, and you didn't care about his son, who else cares?"

In less than half a day, the whole clan knew that the Niu family was now anxious about Song Haonian's heirs, and some people secretly suspected that the lily would not be born after counting the days when Song Haonian got married. Heirs have been a major event since ancient times, that is, hundreds of years later, there are still a lot of parents who are anxious about the problem that their children are unwilling to give birth and cannot give birth, not to mention that in this year, there are many enthusiastic people who come to teach the fertility scriptures to Lily, this one says: "Pick the first and fifteenth days of the round house, the easiest to sit."

Fetus. ”

The one said, "Get more leeks and mutton for your family." ”

Baiyi was confused and said to others: "The affairs of children depend on the destiny of heaven, and we are not in a hurry." ”

The others looked at her with pity, as if she was destined not to give birth to a son, and that she would have no one to rely on in the future, and that she would suffer all her life.

When Lily found out what happened, she really didn't know what to say: say that her mother-in-law is bad-hearted, no one believes that she is kind-hearted, and Niu's can really block her.

I was depressed for a while, so I had to comfort myself and say: It's just a few words, it doesn't hurt or itch, Niu likes to say it, and she won't lose a piece of meat. Although women can't give birth to sons in these years, some people are asked to take a break back to their parents' homes, but firstly, Song Haonian is a reliable person and will not do such treacherous things, secondly, there are many cases where no son has a step-relative's doll, and thirdly, she is only twenty years old, and she is still in college in her last life

Ji, it's not that you can't give birth in the future, so there's really no need to worry.

It was easy for Lily to explain herself: if she was blindly depressed, wouldn't it make Niu's succeed?

Song Haonian didn't know that Niu secretly licked Lily's heart again, he got the benefits of mutton, and turned back to Lily and said, "It's good to get more mutton to eat in the future." ”

Lily remembered his tossing and turning the night before, and secretly gritted his teeth, and provoked him, "You are not yet thirty years old, and you have to eat these things, should you get more mutton to eat?" ”

tickled the teeth that Song Haonian hated, and he pressed her for another expedition that night, so that she knew how powerful.

Lily lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot, her voice was hoarse, and she regretted it so much: "I shouldn't have talked nonsense." ”

Song Haonian smiled and rubbed her waist, "Now I know if I want to rely on mutton to cheer? I want to have a son with you, but it's not the useless silver wax gun head." ”

Lily was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, this man would play some new tricks, so she rolled into his arms and pretended to be asleep quickly. Song Haonian felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he went down to the kang and poured a cup of honey water for her to moisten her throat, pushed the person who was pretending to be asleep, and watched her drink it before blowing the lamp and lying back.
