The water under the pig's head and the pig is directly opened at different times.

A pot of braised soup is boiling and bubbling, and it is slowly turned to low heat until it is colored, without extinguishing the fire.

On a winter night, the wind is howling outside, but the interior is as warm as ever, and the fire is burning.

"Mother, it's good to be well fed and clothed this winter."

"There is a stove and a kang on the stove, it's just comfortable."

"Everyone has cotton clothes to wear, and this year is the best year!"

"I just don't know if I can still do the sauce business in the coming year, the people in the town are gradually following suit, and this sauce can be made at home, and they are not very picky about the taste."

"I don't know if I can live so well in the coming year."

Meng Ran simply made a pot of tea, drank it in small sips, and said calmly:

"If you can't do it in the town, you can go to the county seat to do it, and the sauce business can't go on, so change the business, there is always a way to live, there is no need to go all the way to the end."

"Take a long-term view, don't stare at the township all day to make money, you can't make a fortune, the family now has enough money for the time being, use your brain more, think about the future development."

"After a year, several granddaughters will go to learn a craft, and I have already discussed with the embroidery lady in the town's embroidery workshop to set a few apprenticeship places."

"The embroidery skills in the town are still okay, at least get started, it's better than simple sewing and mending at home!"

"It's better for girls to have a craft, so don't let them do the rough work at home."

"You daughters-in-law will take care of them more, who doesn't want their daughters to be happy? In the future, if your daughter marries well, she will not complain about you, she has a craft, and she is not afraid that her husband's family will look down on her, which is better than nothing. ”

"Mother! Thank you so much. ”

"Big girl, second girl, third girl, and a few other girls, they are really lucky, reincarnated in Lao Liu's family, and there is a grandma like you who thinks about them!"

"You are their own mother, I didn't want to interfere, this is not an agreement with the embroidery lady some time ago, by coincidence."

"No matter what, thank you mother, a few girls are also blessed to have this opportunity."

"And ...... Liu Xiaoyi should also be enlightened, it is time to start reading at the age of four, it is better to be literate early, some people in the town start at the age of three. ”

"He is five years old after the New Year, and it is more than enough to go to the school for enlightenment, the fourth child, you husband and wife, discuss which school in the town is more suitable, choose a better master, and inquire more."

"The ugly words here are ahead, the children in each room are in charge of themselves, and the public does not pay for it, and you have saved a lot in private, and you will definitely be able to get the money!"

"After all, the money in the public middle school, which room is used too much, or if it is used less, you will not be happy if it is not fair, then it is better to say it first, no one will come out!"

Several sons and daughters-in-law nodded one after another, they have a few rooms, since the family started doing business, they have been in the accounts every day, and the small treasury of each room is a lot richer.

Naturally, it is not as picky as before, and it has become more generous, and it is still worth paying for the baby born by itself.

"Okay, it's okay, it's all about the beginning of the year! Let's have dinner first! ”

Lao Liu's family has too many people, so they are directly divided into two tables to eat, one table for adults and one table for children, with the same dish.

Tonight is a plate of marinated water, a plate of braised pig's head meat, stir-fried cabbage, with dried multigrain rice, super large portions, each dish is full of a large pot, enough to eat.

Separately steam a plate of steamed eggs for the dolls, and add a little diced radish mixed in it.

The youngest baby, the baby granddaughter Yu'er, Meng Ran held it in her hand after eating, and fed her steamed eggs little by little, the steamed eggs were very tender and smooth, and there was less salt in them, so she could still eat them.

I hoarded a lot of apples and pears, and I stayed in the house all day, and it still got hot.

Do you want to cook some red dates, wolfberries and pear soup to put it on the fire, puree the apples with a spoon, and make supplementary food for the baby little by little.

Xiao Yu'er eats not to mention how fragrant she is, her small mouth is pouting, her cheeks are bulging, and she is also a baby who loves to cook!

"Mother! I'm done eating, I'll hug her! ”

"Fourth daughter-in-law, did you make Yu'er's padded jacket? The fabric has been given to you, make two more clothes for her to wear for the New Year, don't wrap it in a quilt all day long. ”

Liu's fourth daughter-in-law replied: "It's almost done, close a trouser leg, and it's done!" ”

"I also stuffed a lot of cotton in the padded jacket, it must be soft and warm!"

"That's it! You can make the rest of the fabric for the other children! Don't lose my little jade! ”

"Got it, mother!"

Wu Taohua originally wanted to wrap her little daughter in a quilt in winter, cover it for a winter, and then make clothes when it is warm in the coming year.

The children will soon grow up, and the quilt can be used as a small blanket, which is very good, every household in the village is like this, and children grow up like this.

And when I gave birth to two babies before, didn't I come over like this? Other sisters-in-law in the family do the same with their babies in winter.

However, thinking of her mother-in-law's words, what her mother-in-law said, she just went with it, the fabric and cotton were all bought by her mother-in-law, and she didn't use his money.

The rest of the fabric and cotton can also be made into some clothes for the eldest daughter and son, no matter how she earns it.

The other sisters-in-law know their mother-in-law's partiality towards Xiao Yuer, and they can't say anything, so the mother-in-law likes a little girl, no matter how good she is, what can she do?

It's better than talking about Jin Sun all day long, it's good not to urge them to have a son, just this little thing, they don't dare to trouble their mother-in-law.

Finally, my mother-in-law's temper has become much better, she is not so irritable, and she no longer spends her days staring at them to work.

…………

Village, Lizheng home.

"Thanks to Mrs. Meng's family this year, everyone is willing to cut more meat during the New Year." Lizheng's daughter-in-law muttered after dinner.

Liu Yangshan is also glad that although this year is colder than you, the big guy's life is not as sad as before.

"I've been to see that most people have enough firewood at home, enough food to eat until the beginning of spring, and they have more or less stocked up on New Year's goods!"

"I made some more money a few years ago, more or less, and I bought food anyway, so I won't go hungry."

"This year, I finally don't have to worry about people starving, I have something in my stomach, and I can survive the winter by burning more firewood."

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law is still worried, "On this day, I feel that it is going to snow heavily, and you have to go to inspect the houses in the village this year and watch them to clear the snow diligently." ”

"Don't let the house collapse by the snow again, especially when it snows in the middle of the night, you have to be vigilant, the thatched house is made of more thatched mats, which can indeed block the wind, but the house is not pressure-resistant!"

Lizheng Liu Yangshan was quite happy, but when he heard his daughter-in-law say that, he thought of this year's snow, and it was a little bigger, so he didn't have much fun.

In the final analysis, the village is still poor, and the house cannot be repaired, and everyone lives poorly, so they can only hope for next year.
