Wrap zongzi to use glutinous rice and hoop leaves to soak early, this area of Taiping County is located at the junction of north and south, sweet and salty zongzi are eaten, not only to have red dates, honey to wrap sweet zongzi, but also to prepare lotus seeds, bacon, salted egg yolk to wrap salty zongzi.

Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, Lily deliberately wraps the zongzi with different colors of cotton thread to distinguish different fillings, white rice dumplings with white thread, red date dumplings with red thread, meat dumplings with black thread, egg yolk dumplings wrapped with black and white two-color thread.

Every family cooks zongzi and distributes it to neighbors, Lily goes to deliver zongzi, and everyone who sees it says: "Yo, this looks really handsome!"

The neighbor's sister-in-law couldn't help but regret that she was too big, not to save raw materials, mainly because of two kinds of zongzi in one place, one is only half a palm big, and the other is the size of a man's fist, and it is stupid to look at.

The appearance of the Danian family is delicate, the mind is clear, and the things made are all exquisite, which makes people greedy.

Lily said: "There are few people in our family, and we want to taste a little bit of everything, but we can't eat it all when the bag is big, and we waste food in vain." ”

The neighbor's sister-in-law was relieved, and secretly decided to learn to wrap some small ones like lilies next year, not to mention that she looked at Jun herself, and the children in the family were rare first.

Zongzi is naturally wrapped and must not be sent to Liu Yi, Song Dagui, Liu Sanping, Wang Xiaofu and other families, and each family also has a return gift, in addition to zongzi, there are salted duck eggs, realgar wine, wormwood, etc.

Xing'er has a colorful thread tied on her wrist, the word "Wang" is drawn on her forehead with realgar, and she holds a small pocket of thread in her hand, which contains a carefully selected salted duck egg, she is going to fight duck eggs with her friends.

Although Xing'er is old and relies on the various new gadgets that are constantly supplied by the grub cage and the lily, she has already established herself as the leader among the children in Aoyagi Town, and she said majestically: "Aunt Lily, you talk to my mother, I'm out!"

This tone is obviously learning from Liu Yi: "You talk to your sister-in-law, I'll go find Da Nian." ”

Xing'er instructed like a little adult, made Lily laugh, and after laughing, she replied solemnly: "You go, your mother and I must be at home well." "Fighting duck eggs is only done by children, pestering the adults to make up the salted duck eggs, meet small partners, two people will carry the pocket and hit each other, the duck egg intact is naturally the winner, the losing side will also relish the duck eggs to eat, turn the head and then entangle

Adults give themselves a salted duck egg, and they don't feel that they are at a loss.

"Since yesterday, she has pestered me to weave bags and pick duck eggs for her, which annoys me so much" Li Caifeng is a well-known Lisuo person, although he has been pestering Xing'er for a day, he has done nothing less, and the number of etiquette that should be there is a two-sided pure light, and he will never be rude.

"Apricot will have a future in the future. Lily said with a smile. The two of them laughed again, and she had to go to another house to give gifts.

The mother of carpenter Liu Sanping is a northerner, and she also branded the Dragon Boat Festival steamed bun at home: a ring-shaped steamed bun, poked out with chopsticks on the top, and after branding, he wore a rope and hung it on the neck of the child, eating and playing, and the day was mixed.

Liu Sanping has not yet married, and there are no children at home, so Aunt Liu gave some to the neighbor's children and left another one for Xing'er, so Lily went to send the steamed bun to Xing'er.

The Duanyang Festival is a positive day, the Grange has a day off, Song Haonian hangs calamus and wormwood on the doors and windows of his home, buries realgar along the wall roots and fence corners, and prevents snakes, insects, and centipedes from crawling into the house.

Bathing with wormwood can prevent mosquito bites, but also cure common skin diseases, after the weather is hot, lily will no longer use peach blossom bathing, but use wormwood, often with the slightly bitter fragrance of wormwood.

Burning some dried wormwood on summer nights can also repel mosquitoes, and Lily and her husband picked a lot of wormwood early, which were fresh hanging on the door, and the stalks were still bright green.

The iris spikes were fluffy, like a cat's tail, and Lily poked her fingers and played for a while, and Song Haonian smiled: "Go back and get a cat to raise for you?"

"Cats are wild and not easy to raise, so let's talk about it later. "Lily likes cats and dogs, but cats in the countryside are not easy to raise, and if they are not careful, they will run outside and become wild cats, not to mention catching rats for the family, and people have to prevent them from stealing meat.

The little couple laughed and laughed, and boiled zongzi to eat, white rice dumplings are sweet and soft glutinous, and they are delicious with sugar or honey, and the red date dumplings are sweet and blood-nourishing, which is most suitable for women and children.

The salty zongzi material is sufficient, more attractive, the egg yolk zongzi is full of the salty fragrance of the egg, mixed with the fragrance of glutinous rice, so that the lotus seeds in the meat dumpling are full, the fat part of the bacon has been completely cooked in the rice, the lean meat part is not greasy, smooth and fragrant.

Song Haonian was also the first time to eat such a small zongzi, it felt particularly fresh and interesting, and he ate seven or eight in one go, and Lily hurriedly said to him: "You eat slowly, don't eat it!"

"I'm not a little doll. Song Haonian touched his stomach and said, "I should send some to my father and mother, and I told you to send some to my father-in-law and mother-in-law a few days ago, did you send them?"

Father and mother are not generous people, but after all, they are the father and mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and they still have to have filial piety. The mother-in-law gave birth to a lily, and it couldn't chill their hearts.

Song Haonian is a warm-hearted person, and Lily is not a ruthless master, if you want to live with Hemeimei in this town, it is indispensable to leave favors.

She smiled and said, "Wait for you to say something, I will send the zongzi and salted duck eggs to my in-laws early in the morning." My father and mother also asked someone to take it back. ”

This kind of thing should have been talked about without waiting for Song Haonian to ask her, but since she didn't say it, there must be a reason. Song Haonian understood after thinking about it: "What did my father and mother give us?"

Lily hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Half a salted duck egg." ”

What is Daddy doing here!

Song Haonian's original good mood suddenly fell, and their Song family was not too poor to afford to eat, from his grandfather to his father, they had accumulated a little bit of family wealth.

It's just that my father and mother are all picky people, and they are willing to leave a little dignity for outsiders, and they are very stingy at home. Especially for his second son, he is like an enemy. His daughter-in-law sent a basket of zongzi and duck eggs, and even if the person who knew the etiquette returned a few zongzi, his face would look good, right?

。

Lily saw that his face was not good, and had the heart to explain him, and said: "My mother thinks I am a money-loser, so she asked Qingsong to send me a basket of wormwood, but Lamei and my father quietly stuffed a few eggs into it." ”

The mother of the two of them, half a catty to eight taels, no one is smarter than the other. But other people are different, Lily's father, brother, and sister are all sensible people, and they know that they feel sorry for this married girl.

Song Haonian's eldest brother and sister-in-law, brothers and sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps, thank God if they don't pinch Niu's face for him, he doesn't expect anything else.

When he was a child, he was ignorant and asked his mother: "Mother, why don't you hurt me?"

Niu puffed out his eyes and scolded him: "You little rabbit cub! When the old lady gave birth to you, she couldn't give birth for three days and three nights, where can I still feel sorry for you!"

Knowing that his father and mother were eccentric, Song Haonian had a cold heart, so he had to put it aside and continue to live a good life with his daughter-in-law. The two of them are of one mind, and the future will not be bad.

He took out two multicolored threads from his bosom and said, "Come, I'll tie them for you." ”

Lily smiled and said, "Children only wear this, how old am I." ”

Song Haonian said: "Don't talk when you tie it." "When his daughter-in-law married him, she was almost like a little doll, but now she has grown up a lot, but he is still willing to coax her like a little doll.

Lily stretched out her wrist, thin and white, Song Haonian took the colorful longevity wisp and wrapped it around her wrist twice, and tied a knot, this knot had to wait until the first rain after the Duanyang Festival before it could be cut off and thrown into the rain.

Several children of the Li family have inherited Zhu's white skin, and no matter how tanned their faces are, their bodies are always as white as semi-solidified mutton fat.

As soon as Song Haonian was excited, it was easy to leave a few marks on her neck and waist, and the first time she saw him, she was frightened, lest she hurt her daughter-in-law, and later learned that it was because the skin was extraordinarily white and tender.

Lily also tied a longevity thread to Song Haonian in the same way, and the two of them looked at each other, plus drank some realgar wine, their faces were red and their hearts were beating wildly.

A few days later, there was a joke about this longevity, first Lily went to Liu Yi's house and showed it to Xing'er, and Xing'er shouted out and made Li Caifeng laugh.

Song Haonian worked on the grange, and when it was hot, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his two strong arms, so that his companions saw that he still had a colorful rope tied to his wrist, and they all laughed at him: "You are all married, and you still think you are a little doll!"

Song Haonian blushed with a smile, but he was not angry, nor did he take off the colored rope, which was tied by his daughter-in-law herself, and others had to tie it yet!

Everyone knew that he was a newlywed, and let him go after laughing, and some people were quite envious, and went home to ask their mother-in-law to weave a long-lived thread, and his mother-in-law also said: "That's for the little doll to wear, do you still want to wet the bed!"

This person is not convinced, why can he wear it in the New Year, but he can't wear it?

Song Haonian repaired the canal on the grange, and also learned a lot of farming techniques, and came back to tell Lily one by one.

He also took the time to dig a few drainage ditches in his vegetable field, and even several white rain injections after Duanyang Note 1, because of the ditches dug in advance, the vegetable field did not accumulate water and rot roots.

Now Xiaodonggou's raspberries are gradually decreasing, unless they can be picked by climbing dozens of miles of mountain roads to the mountains deeper in Liushan Village, which is not cost-effective for Lily, and her income is much less. Seeing that the melons and vegetables are slowly growing, and the harvest of the new season is in sight, the lily is more and more happy, full of expectations for the days ahead.
