"Okay, mother, don't be angry, just get the things back, today is the Lantern Festival, I'll give you steamed jujube paste cake to eat."

Chen He smiled at this time, "It's still the best girl, no wonder they all say that the girl is the little padded jacket." ”

Coaxed Chen He, Ji Wan left with peace of mind.

Now that she has a sense of crisis, Chen He has locked her small cabinet, and no one knows where the key is.

When I arrived at the kitchen, Ji Wan searched for a long time and didn't find where the red dates were, and just when my sister-in-law passed by, she asked, "Sister-in-law, where did I put the red dates I brought back last time, and I couldn't find them?" ”

"Oh, red dates! Wait a minute, it looks like it's here. The sister-in-law entered the kitchen, walked to the cupboard, and found the red dates in the corner of the cabinet below, "Here." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, keep busy! I will call my second sister-in-law to eat jujube cake. ”

……

Ji Wan rinsed the jujubes, took out the core with a kitchen knife, and then cut the jujube meat into small pieces, which is easier to rot.

Then it is to add water and cook until it rots.

After hiring for about ten minutes, Ji Wan opened the lid and stir-fried the red dates, which were already simmered very soft, and they could be sifted through the jujube skin after being poked with a spoon.

Add the brown sugar and six eggs, and it's time to test your arm strength.

In the days when there was no egg beater, he could only rely on manual force, and after almost half an hour, Ji Wan's hands were already trembling.

After beating the egg batter, add oil and sifted flour, stir well, repeat the flour once and then put it in the mold.

There is no stainless steel mold here, so Ji Wan put it in an enamel basin, and a white cloth was placed in it, and it was baked in the baking kiln outside.

More than half an hour later, a fragrance of red dates spread in the courtyard, Ji Wan opened it and took a look, it was already fluffy, and the sesame seeds on it could also be seen.

"Little sister, what you made is so fragrant, I can smell it in the house." The sister-in-law took a deep breath and stared straight at the kiln.

Forget it, Ji Wan put on two layers of gloves and took out the enamel basin, and cut it into pieces with a knife, "Sister-in-law, taste it, how does it taste?" ”

The fluffy and soft jujube paste cake is very attractive to look at, and it is also decorated with red jujube meat.

"Whew, it's good, it's delicious." The sister-in-law came hot, and the hand was changed back and forth, and this bite was not sweet or light.

"Then you can give this to your second sister-in-law!"

"Okay."

As soon as Ji Wan put the second pot of jujube paste into the baking kiln, he heard the door being pushed open very strongly, Xiaobao rushed over and hugged her, tears fell as if he didn't want money, "Mother, I want lanterns, I want beautiful lanterns." ”

"What's going on?" Ji Wan wiped Xiaobao's tears, and he didn't know what was going on.

"I want lanterns, the most beautiful lanterns."

Lantern?

No wonder there are several children running around with lanterns at the door of the house today, the Lantern Festival in the 21st century, at most eat a Lantern Festival, and some don't even have much of this festival.

Seeing that Ji Wan didn't agree, Xiaobao began to cry, causing Chen He, who was drying the quilt, to come out and take a look, "What's wrong with the baby?" Why are you crying so loudly? ”

"Mother, you go and get busy, don't worry about him."

"Okay then."

After Chen He was completely gone, Xiaobao was still crying, and he didn't want to stop.

If Xiaobao told her well, Ji Wan would definitely make one for him, but in order to get what she wanted, she would definitely not give it to her.

Ji Wan didn't care about him at all, just quietly watched him cry and watch him perform.

Probably Xiaobao himself was tired, with tears in his eyes, his face was covered with tears, and he looked at Ji Wan pitifully, "Mother~"

"Are you still crying?"

Xiaobao sucked his snot bubbles and wiped his eyes, "No...... Don't cry anymore. ”

She is also a mother for the first time, why is she used to him.

"Do you think that if you cry, your mother should meet your needs?"

"It's true that you are my child, but what do you want, you can tell me well, when did my mother not satisfy you? What the children in the village have, do I give you less? ”

"Other people's families, if you do something wrong, you will be beaten, when did my mother not talk to you well, did she beat you?"

After speaking, Ji Wan stopped talking.

Xiaobao also lowered his head, unable to see what expression on his face clearly, and his voice was muffled, "Mother, I shouldn't be like this." ”

"Since you know it's wrong, go and shovel pig manure with your second brother, and then clean up the rabbit nest and chicken pen."

Xiaobao didn't refute, just slowly entered the house with his head down.

Sometimes a slight punishment can make them remember more clearly, but if they are beaten, the effect may be very poor, and then they will rebel.

Ji Wan looked over from afar and carried lanterns in the hands of some of the children.

Some of the lanterns are made of wine bottles, cut off the middle of the four sides, and put a little candle inside.

There are also some powerful families who will use glass bottles to make lanterns, and paste two paper-cuts on the outside, which looks festive and good-looking.

In the past, the eldest brother made a lot of thin wooden sticks in his spare time, and now it can just come in handy.

After the Spring Festival, children are most looking forward to the Lantern Festival, and the activities in the village will be very interesting.

Ji Wan connected the wooden sticks with milky white glue and made a mold of a lantern.

I cut it out of red paper and glued it to the top of the lantern.

There is a circle of fine red paper pasted underneath, and the middle is hollowed.

At the bottom is a small square plank, with a curved bamboo stick glued diagonally, and a red candle is inserted in the middle of the small plank.

Then put the finished lantern from the top of the bamboo strip to the small wooden board, you can have a hand-held lantern, not to mention, it is very good-looking.

Ji Wan made a total of three, and the paper cuts on each one were different.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" The sister-in-law walked in with a stack of clothes.

Ji Wan happened to put on the last lantern, "I just saw that the children outside each had a lantern, and I thought about making one for each of the three babies." ”

"That's right, by the way, why is Xiaobao accompanying his brother to shovel chicken manure?" The sister-in-law helped Ji Wan and put the clothes in the wardrobe on the kang.

"Just now he asked me for lanterns and cried non-stop, so I taught him a lesson. In the past few days, they have all packed all the feces in our house, and they have also cleaned up the rabbit nest. Ji Wan shook the lantern, the candle in the lantern did not come out, and it seemed to be fixed very well.

The sister-in-law nodded, and agreed with her words, "You're right, children just can't get used to it, if you give him something when you cry, he will take it for granted in the future." ”

"By the way, sister-in-law, didn't we guess the lantern riddle at night say that there are any prizes?"

"It seems that I heard that the most guessed is half a catty of pork, which is the most generous shot of our brigade in recent years, the second place seems to be half a catty of flour, and the third place is four boxes of matches."

Ji Wan nodded while listening, "That's it." ”

"By the way, we still have work to twist Yangge! However, there are only two people in the family who can participate, so our family will let your eldest brother and second brother go. ”

"Okay, that's fine, you and your second sister-in-law are pregnant, and I'm not very good at playing, so it's best for them to go." Ji Wan just wanted to go and see, but he didn't want to dance Yangge, feeling like he was dead.

When the sister-in-law was about to leave, she suddenly turned around, "Oh, by the way, your eldest brother went to Qiantunzi to buy five pigtail sticks, and I don't know what to do." ”

"Let's make braised pork tail! Lantern Festival red festive spots. ”

"Okay."

As the old saying goes, a child can't eat a pig's tail.

Say yes, after eating pig tails, you are afraid of eating fish roe, you don't know how to count fish roe, you will urinate on the kang during the day, and you will become dumb if your earwax falls into your mouth......

After the sister-in-law left, Ji Wan carefully processed the lantern again, and the exposed wooden sticks were painted with red paint, which looked much better.

"Mother, I have an idiom that I can't understand, and I can't read it." Dabao hugged the composition paper and ran to Ji Wan's side.

Ji Wan looked at the idiom that Dabao pointed to and explained to him, "This is sparkling, which describes the light and quiet waves on the water surface." ”

Afraid that Dabao wouldn't understand, Ji Wan explained to him in detail and made a few sentences.

"Thank you, mother, then I'll go back and continue reading."

Ji Wan nodded, she was also curious, and she didn't know who this child was with, she loved to study so much, Ji Wan thought about it for a while, and she was just like that!

At noon, after eating a little casually, you have to start preparing for the Lantern Festival in the afternoon.

"You three come to my room, I have something to look for you." Ji Wan turned around and went back to the room.

The three cubs stood in front of her obediently, and Erbao thought that he had done something bad, so he said suspiciously, "Mother, I haven't been cleaning anywhere this afternoon, and I haven't done anything bad." ”
