Ziluo and the others walked on the way home, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies, the orange twilight sprinkled on the sky, everything was as beautiful as a dream.
Ziluo and the others are very full, and they feel that such a day is really pleasant!
"The pig-killing dish is delicious!" Xiao Liu touched his belly and sighed with satisfaction.
Ziluo remembered that the pig-killing rice she ate today was indeed very delicious. There are sauerkraut stewed pork belly, stir-fried spicy and delicious pig intestines, and pig blood sausagesγγγγγγ Every dish is mouth-watering! This is the authentic farmer's pig-killing rice, which has a special taste for the New Year.
"yes! Ziluo also agreed.
The next day, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve!
Today, Ziluo and the others plan to send the prepared New Year's gift to the shopkeeper Liu in the town in the morning, and give the New Year's gift to the previously scheduled people in the village in the afternoon.
Zishu borrowed an ox cart from Aunt Chen's house, and gave Liu the shopkeeper a full ox cart for their New Year's gift.
Ziluo and the others prepared the same New Year's gifts for Shopkeeper Liu, all of which were 100 dumplings, 20 dumplings of peanuts, sesame seeds, and mung beans, 20 pieces of frozen tofu bought from the village, more than 50 catties of pork, two big fish, two boxes of dim sum, and a can of sauerkraut and a can of spicy radish made by Ziwei herself, and they were ready to add about 100 eggs and two chickens to the market.
After loading the car, Zishu and Zixuan drove the ox cart to the town to deliver New Year's gifts. At noon, Zishu and the others returned from the town.
In the afternoon, Zishu and Zixuan led Ziluo and Xiaoliu to give New Year's gifts to several families in the village, and they all contributed to their mother's funeral.
Ziluo and the others gave them New Year's gifts of 20 dumplings, two catties of pork, and two boxes of dim sum. For the people in the village, such a New Year's gift is already very handy.
Usually, people in the village usually give gifts such as a handful of eggs and a pound of white noodles, and a half-catty of pork is added to the thicker ones. Ziluo's New Year's gift has the meaning of thanking them for their help before.
First of all, when they arrived at the village chief's house, in addition to the same New Year's gift as other people's families, Ziluo and the others also bought a cotton cloth for the village chief's grandfather, after all, the village chief's grandfather helped them a lot.
The village chief greeted Ziluo and them very warmly, if it weren't for Ziluo's resolute attitude, Grandma Chen would definitely ask them to bring back the New Year's gift they brought.
After Ziluo and the others left, Chen Gaoshi casually looked at the New Year's gift brought by Luo, and muttered disdainfully: "What kind of New Year's gift is this! It's so rough, and the material of this cotton cloth is not very good." β
"Brother Shu'er, they are just a few children, and it would be nice if they could think of giving us New Year's gifts. Where to be so picky. The village chief was not very happy with this daughter-in-law's pickiness, obviously this cotton cloth is the best material, and this is clearly the bone in the egg.
"That is, I think this New Year's gift is very good in our village, and I think the material of this cotton cloth is also good. You, don't pick a few children. It's better to be kind, and don't always find fault with others. "Grandma Chen knows that this daughter-in-law has always looked down on many people in the village. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would offend people in the future, so she wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.
"That's it, you mother-in-law, don't let me always look at people with my nostrils in the future!" Chen Gao's husband Chen Shan saw that his daughter-in-law was unhappy with his father, so he scolded Chen Gao.
The village chief has a son and a daughter, the daughter has long been married, the son Chen Shan married his wife Chen Gao, and also has a son and a daughter, the son is Chen Shaoqing, who is 12 years old this year, and the daughter Chen Zhu is 11 years old this year.
Chen Gao's just now was just angry that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were so uplifting Zishu and them, so he deliberately looked for Zishu and their stubble, who knew that she only said one sentence about Zishu and their no, which provoked the whole family to denounce her.
So she felt very wronged, and she didn't tell Zishu what they did, and secretly recorded this account on Zishu and them in her heart, and they didn't like Zishu even more.
Ziluo and Zishu came out of the village chief's house, and then went to Chen Daniu's house.
Speaking of this Chen Daniu, he is also a poor man, his parents also died early, they died before he married a wife, and he has no brothers and sisters. Fortunately, his father used to be the only carpenter in the village, and he inherited his father's craft and had the means to earn a living.
Later, he married his wife Chen Liu, and now he has a small shop in the town to pick up carpentry work, and the husband and wife usually live in the town, only during the New Year and the holidays.
His wife, Chen Liu, is also a poor girl, and it has been four or five years since she married Chen Daniu and still has nothing, and the couple just heard too much gossip in the village before they bought a small shop in the town around September this year and lived in the town.
Before, Chen Daniu and his wife had come to help Ziluo and their mothers in the funeral, so now Ziluo and they also gave them New Year's gifts.
Ziluo and the others knocked on the door and came out to open the door by Chen Daniu's wife, Chen Liu, who looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his personality seemed to be a little cowardly.
She was also a little surprised to see that it was Ziluo, but she quickly warmly beckoned Ziluo and them into the house.
"Brother Shu, you're here. Sit, sit. Daughter-in-law, bring some sugar water and mung bean cake to Brother Shu'er for them. Chen Daniu was making a bookshelf in the courtyard, he saw his wife leading Ziluo and them into the door, he greeted them very warmly and sat down around the dining table in the yard, he saw that the stools were not enough, so he hurried to the hall to move a few stools, Zishu and Zixuan also hurried to help.
After a while, Chen Liu brought sugar water and a large bag of mung bean cake to Ziluo and them to eat. These are the highest treatments in a farmhouse.
Ziluo knew that it was very polite for the farmers here to take out sugar water to entertain guests, not to mention that they also took out mung bean cakes that farmers would only buy when they gave gifts during the holidays. It can be seen that Chen Daniu and his wife are enthusiastic and happy with them.
"Brother Shu, it's rare for you to come to Uncle Niu, stay and eat tonight! Daughter-in-law, you go and kill the little hen you bought yesterday. Chen Daniu said heartily.
"No need, Uncle Niu, don't be so polite, we will give New Year's gifts to several families in a while, so we won't stay for dinner. Zishu saw that Chen Liu was really going to catch chickens to kill, so he hurriedly stopped them.
Chen Daniu saw that Zishu and Zixuan really brought several New Year's gifts, and he also knew that Zishu was telling the truth, so he was not reluctant.
In the end, after everyone's push for a while, Uncle Niu and they accepted Ziluo's New Year's gift.
Out of Uncle Da Niu's house, Zixuan couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Da Niu, they are all good people, but it's a pity that there are no children to look down on in the village." β
"Yes, but Uncle Niu and they are still young, and they may have children in the future. Zishu said.
Then Ziluo and the others came to Uncle Jiang's house, Uncle Jiang is still Uncle Dafeng's cousin, and Uncle Jiang's father and Uncle Dafeng's father are brothers. However, this Third Uncle Jiang's family has many children, and their lives are much worse than Uncle Dafeng's. Their house looks more dilapidated than Ziluo's.
"Is Third Uncle Jiang at home?" Zishu shouted in front of the courtyard gate.
After a while, a **-year-old little girl who looked very thin timidly walked out timidly and opened the courtyard door.
"Third sister, what about your father and mother?" Zishu asked.
"Sister, sister, they are making steamed buns inside, and my father and mother are going to collect firewood. The third sister replied in a low voice.
These are our New Year's gifts for your family, and since your father and mother are not there, you can take them into the house. We have to go to other homes to give New Year's gifts, so we don't wait for Uncle Jiang and them. Zishu handed the New Year's gift to the third sister.
"Thank you, Brother Tree. The third sister thanked.
Soon after Ziluo and the others left, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang came back, and when they saw that the third sister was about to enter the house with a lot of things, Aunt Jiang asked in surprise: "Third sister, where did these things come from?"
"Brother Shu's family at the east end of the village just sent it, mother, can we stay and eat?
Third Aunt Jiang looked at her husband with an embarrassed face, and Third Uncle Jiang couldn't help but feel very sad when he saw his third daughter looking at him with a look of hope: "Take it." Your grandmother and their father have already given a New Year's gift. β
When Uncle Jiang and his wife and third sister returned to the hall, several of Uncle Jiang's daughters came over.
"So many things, Daddy, you bought them?" the eldest sister asked curiously.
Third Uncle Jiang was also taken aback when he saw that the New Year's gift he opened had pork, dumplings, and two packs of dim sum, and the pork looked like it was at least two catties or more.
When the Jiang sisters saw this, their eyes were shining, and they hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
"These are the New Year's gifts they gave us, Daddy is a person who has no ability, I'm afraid this favor can't be paid, it's just that, Daddy will help Brother Shu and them more in the future." Third Uncle Jiang sighed.
"Where is this daddy incompetent, it's grandma's too muchγγγγγγ Second Sister Jiang was very angry.
"Second sister, don't talk nonsense!!" Aunt Gao stopped in shock.
Ziluo and the others then gave New Year's gifts to Uncle Dafeng and the Bolt's family, and finally sent them to Aunt Chen's family, who lived nearby. After the New Year's gift, Ziluo and the others could just have dinner when they got home, and Zitao also teased Ziluo that they deliberately stepped back to eat.
At this point, Ziluo and the others have basically dealt with the things they want to prepare for the New Year, and then Ziluo and they began to discuss the dishes to be prepared for the New Year.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye!Chinese New Year's Eve it's finally here!!
It's that Ziluo and Xiaoliu got up early and prepared to help with the work, because they do have a lot of things to do today, but this kind of busyness makes people feel a strong sense of happiness and makes people feel down-to-earth and happy!
The main dish for breakfast is steaming chicken noodle soup and glutinous white rice porridge, along with white noodle meat buns, steamed buns and steamed dumplings, and a small plate of spicy cabbage.
