On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ji Wan was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

Smoke has risen in the kitchen, and the sister-in-law is already steaming buns, which is a custom.

The three dolls had already gone to the village to set off firecrackers, and Ji Wan and glutinous rice flour were ready to make red bean balls and glutinous rice crackers.

Few children in the 21st century can eat glutinous rice crackers, which is a small fried strip unique to this era.

It's not only sweet when you bite into it, it's also crispy.

"Little sister, the red bean dumplings you made are so delicious, the red beans have been boiled, and they are more willing to put sugar than the ones made by my mother." The second sister-in-law put a small bowl on the side, and the second half of the sentence was whispered.

Ji Wan was preparing fried glutinous rice crackers, "Tomorrow I will make pumpkin balls, that one will also be delicious." ”

The kitchen is steaming hot on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Put the potato candy cubes boiled a few days in advance, heat and melt them in a pot, add fried peanuts, sesame seeds, and soybeans while hot, mix well, put them on the cutting board and flatten them, cut them into small pieces, and make peanut candy, sesame sugar, and sugar monkey.

This is what children and adults alike, and it is not easy to eat sugar in the era of material poverty.

At noon, the steamed buns had been steamed three times, Ji Wan didn't do much for lunch, fried shredded potatoes, fried bacon with cabbage, a clear soup, just eat the buns, it was very fragrant.

I will also eat a snack during the Chinese New Year, that is, fried sprinklers, round and round, and the bite is very crispy.

Frying sprinklers costs oil, and I don't dare to do it without a little money, and it is a big pot of oil to make it once.

"The three of you have been out on the wild all morning, don't go to play with firecrackers in the afternoon, and when your two aunts are going back, you can help your aunts sort things out, okay?"

"Okay." The three dolls ate with a mouthful of oil, and they didn't stop.

Ji Wan took a lot of things for the two sisters-in-law, and one of the brothers-in-law of the sister-in-law's family was from the meat factory, and he would always take some meat to supplement his sister.

The second sister-in-law's mother's family is not very good, a family of vampires, the second sister-in-law took less things last year, and she didn't suffer less when she went back, and she didn't even eat a piece of meat foam.

Every time she was ready to sandwich the meat, she would be angry with her sister-in-law, so that the second sister-in-law didn't dare to sandwich the meat.

"Little sister, I won't take so much, I know what my mother's family is like, I'll go back this year to see, after all, I was born and raised." When the second sister-in-law said this, her voice was also trembling.

Ji Wan pursed his lips, "Okay, I'll take it out." ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two sisters-in-law got into the ox cart and went back.

To eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, Ji Wan made three kinds of stuffing in the kitchen and good noodles.

The eldest sister-in-law came back at 6 p.m., and the second sister-in-law never came back.

"Little sister, why did you say your second sister-in-law hasn't come back yet?" Ji Guo kept looking out of the door, very worried.

Ji Wan looked at the darkening sky outside, and was also a little hesitant, "Second brother, why don't we go and have a look?" ”

"I'll see it."

The second sister-in-law's maiden home was in the village of Xiahe, and Ji Guo took Ji Wan on a bicycle and went to the captain's house to borrow a flashlight before setting off.

After walking for more than half an hour, when he was close to the second sister-in-law's house, Ji Wan saw a group of people surrounding a family from afar, and there were insults from inside.

She noticed that something was wrong, so she quickly got out of the car and ran over, and the second brother in front of her was still confused.

"You girl, I raised you so big, you don't even give you a little filial piety, I am really evil! Why did you give birth to such a person who eats inside and out. ”

"Look, everyone! I am a good girl in this life, I haven't seen my old parents for a year, and I brought back such a little meat and glutinous rice crackers, which are not enough for my little grandson to stuff his teeth. ”

"She just couldn't give birth to a child herself, so she viciously coveted my little grandson, she was originally a money-loser, and I spent a lot of rations to raise her at that time, and she will repay me these now."

"If I had known, I should have strangled her before she was born."

The old woman did not give up after speaking, and sat on the ground crying as if she owed her money.

Ji Wan finally squeezed to the front, and at a glance saw the second sister-in-law wearing a black cotton jacket, she was standing there, and it should be her mother in front of her.

Very helpless and helpless.

The helpless thing is that I can't refute it, and the helpless thing is that I have such a mother.

"Why are you ashamed to bring back such a little thing? She is now married to the Lao Ji family, and her household registration is in our Lao Ji family. Do you want her to give her husband's things to your mother's family? If my second sister-in-law is willing, it will be forgotten, people are not willing at all, our family gave a lot of bride price at that time, you were happy at the time, what? Now it's so shameless, staring at our old Ji family's things? ”

"Even if my second sister-in-law doesn't have children, it's a matter of two people, my mother doesn't say, what are you, fart here? Besides, my second brother sees that my second sister-in-law is not in good health, and he is reluctant to let her suffer now, can you manage it? Ji Wan directly stepped forward and didn't dare to refute what the old man on the ground said.

But the scolding was not enough, "Look at you, an old woman in her fifties and sixties, one mouth is like being cursed." Be careful! Be careful of your precious grandson, who will be spoiled by you one day, we are not as polite as the people outside, but they will go straight to the fist. ”

"Listening to you, I'm going to reduce my life expectancy for a few years, don't I look down on what my second sister-in-law sent back?" Ji Wan said to the second sister-in-law on the side, "Second sister-in-law, go and get the things back, go back with my brother, this kind of bad place, staying in it is a crime." ”

The second sister-in-law looked at the sister-in-law in front of her who didn't stop with her horn, and her heart was also touched, so she immediately went into the house and brought out all the things she brought back, and followed Ji Wan to prepare to go home.

The old pious woman behind him was still horning, "Kill a thousand knives, give me back the things, that's mine." ”

Ji Wan turned around and shouted at the old pious woman, "Aunt and grandmother Ming'er will not give you a bite to eat if she throws it in the ditch." ”

On the way, the second sister-in-law didn't say a word, the second brother pushed the car with one hand and pulled the second sister-in-law with the other, "Don't worry, my mother is your mother, she will also be good to you, you don't have to pay attention to the child's affairs, we will have it." ”

"Hmm."

Ji Wan held a flashlight in front of him and ate a big bowl of dog food.

When I got home, the lights were bright, the kitchen was still steaming, and I guessed that my sister-in-law was already cooking dumplings.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, daddy, we're back." As soon as Ji Wan entered, she was hugged by the three children on her thighs, and almost gave her pants down, "The three of you are playing for a while, and my mother will cook dumplings for you to eat." ”

"Okay, mother, it's the best." The three dolls ran so fast that they couldn't stay still.

The second sister-in-law immediately went in to cook dumplings with the eldest sister-in-law, and Ji Wan sat at the dinner table and told Chen He what had just happened.

"Xiaowan, you did a good job, the daughter-in-law of our Lao Ji family dared to bully, it was really fatal, that old pious woman used to die every day, and she was scolded by me several times, and she didn't have any brains. It's okay to make a fuss this time, and your second sister-in-law won't go back in the future, and she won't even eat a piece of meat when she goes home all year round. Chen He's angry tooth is itchy, and he can't wait to tear the old pious woman.

Half an hour later, the first batch of dumplings came out.

Ji Wanhe's noodles are three colors, white, yellow, and green, so that the dumpling fillings are easy to distinguish.

"Xiaowan, your dumpling filling is so delicious, did you add anything?" After Chen He finished eating a plate, he went to the kitchen to wait for the second wave of dumplings.

"I added lard residue to it, and some small ingredients." There is also a very fragrant sesame oil, which was also expensive when I bought it in the 21st century, and it is better than the sesame oil in the supermarket.

Just when the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen, the old lady was waiting for dumplings in the kitchen, and everyone else was eating outside.

Daddy suddenly slammed the table and scolded, "What are you doing here!" ”
