Chapter 184: Meiyu

"Didn't you pickle the sauerkraut in the morning? What are you doing with Yunni repairing the cabbage? The old lady suddenly remembered this.

"Wasn't I thinking about pickling some spicy cabbage? It's delicious, and the little ones love it. Anyway, they all have to pickle pickles, so they just follow their wishes, but it just takes a little effort and materials. Yun Xue smiled.

"It's really a blessing for them to have such an eldest sister as you, how good it is that you think about these children in everything." Grandma Zhong sighed.

While talking, the Zhong family's daughter-in-law and Han Yue'e came in from outside. "Mother, the sister-in-law of the Wu family said that she was looking for your help with something, and I knew you were here, so I came to look for you."

Grandma Zhong was stunned, I don't know what Han Yue'e is looking for herself? "Aunt Yunxue, are you looking for me?" The old lady hurriedly got down from the kang, "Then let's go home and go." ”

Han Yue'e stretched out her hand to stop Grandma Zhong, "Auntie, let's just say it here, Yunxue is my niece, what else is there to hide?" Yue'e smiled, and then said, "It's nothing, it's just that the eldest of my family told me today that he is optimistic about the beautiful jade of the Li family." Didn't I just want my aunt to do me a favor and go to Li's house to talk about it? ”

When Grandma Zhong heard this, she clapped her hands happily, "Okay, this is a good thing." Last night, a group of our old wives also said that in our village, there are now a lot of good girls and good boys, and they are not young anymore, maybe there will be a happy event one day. That's really it, you see, aren't you going to mention this today? Let's go. Not to mention, Yuxiang's vision is really good, and the beautiful jade of the Li family is really good. "When the old lady hears this, where can she still sit? immediately got off the ground and was about to go to Li's house.

"Auntie, do you need to bring something? After all, it's a door-to-door proposal. Han Yue'e hurriedly asked.

"Well, if you're prepared, then let's bring some over, so that you can show that you're sincere." Grandma Zhong nodded, feeling that Han Yue'e was really thoughtful.

"Ready, this is the first day of the afternoon, isn't that just for this thing? In that case, I'll go home and get something, and my aunt will wait for me for a while. Han Yue'e hurriedly went out and went home to get something. After a while, I saw her come back with a basket. "Auntie, shall we go then?"

Yun Xue glanced at the contents of the basket, there were a few rulers in it, two of which were quite dark in color, and they were for older people. The other two pieces are quite brightly colored, and at first glance they are for young girls, as well as two boxes of flour, a pair of silk satin handkerchiefs, and a pair of purses. Good guy, my aunt has invested a lot of money in order to talk about her daughter-in-law.

Grandma Zhong happened to see Yun Xue's movements, and couldn't help laughing, "You ghost girl, you're quite trustworthy." ”

Yun Xue was a little embarrassed, "Didn't I want to take a look and learn from it?" Otherwise, when Yun Zhen says his daughter-in-law, I don't know what to prepare? Won't it be disgusting to the family when the time comes? Yun Xue grimaced mischievously.

Several people in the room laughed, "What's the matter?" Would you like to come with us and watch the fun? ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "Forget it, I still don't go to join in the fun on that occasion, it's not appropriate." Besides, I still have to pickle spicy cabbage, I don't have that effort. Auntie, I'm waiting to drink my cousin's wedding wine. Yun Xue followed everyone out of the gate.

"Girl, pickle more, grandma will also taste it." Grandma Zhong said as she was leaving.

After sending away Grandma Zhong and her aunt and others, Yun Xue hurriedly ran to the garden, Yun Ni and Bao Zhu were repairing the cabbage with knives, and Mingzhu was coaxing Yun Xia on the side. "Baozhu, are you still working at my house?" Yun Xue said with a smile.

"Sister Yunxue, we are idle anyway, this work is not tiring, take a hand to help, Yunni can be brisker." Baozhu used a knife to cut off the cabbage root, and then picked off all the old gangsters outside the cabbage.

Yun Xue also came over to help, "Pickled spicy cabbage is really a costly material, you see, you have to peel off several layers of cabbage." Why don't you go buy some meat tomorrow and eat some steamed buns with these vegetables, otherwise it would be a pity. ”

It's a pity that these vegetable gangs are just thrown in the ground. But cabbage can't be fed to chickens, otherwise chickens love to have diarrhea and are easy to lose weight, so it's best not to feed pigs or anything. In my previous life, I remember that someone recommended eating cabbage to lose weight, so this thing seems to be quite effective in reducing fat, and Yun Xue naturally didn't dare to feed the pigs. It's not bad to think about it as a bun, anyway, it's good to eat with meat, and it tastes fragrant.

Yun Ni and Baozhu had already picked up a lot, and Yun Xue felt that it was almost enough, so she carried all the cabbage back to the kitchen, and then used a knife to cut the cabbage in the middle. This year's cabbage grows a lot, and the core is quite solid, so Yunxue cut the cabbage into four pieces. Place the chopped cabbage in a second jar, and sprinkle a layer of cabbage with some salt until the second jar is full.

In this way, Yunni and Baozhu cut the cabbage, Yunxue put it in the jar, and the three of them worked together, but it didn't take long.

When the second jar was full, and the cabbage was almost the same, Yun Xue added some water to the jar, and then pressed it with a clean slate. After pickling for four or five days, a lot of water in the cabbage can come out, and then the ingredients can be marinated seriously.

"Okay, let's leave it like this for the time being, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let's take the time to go to the county seat and buy some materials and come back." If you want spicy cabbage to be delicious, you have to put enough seasoning. Yun Xue fetched water, and the three of them washed their hands, and then came out of the kitchen and went to the house to sit and talk.

The Baozhu sisters sat at Han's house for a while, and knew that Grandma Zhong had gone to Li's house, so the two of them left Han's house and returned to Zhong's house first.

"Eldest sister, what were the people from the Sun family doing just now?" Yun Ni waited for the orb to leave before asking.

Yun Xue told the Sun family's intentions.

"Hmph, this Sun family is really interesting, just like Xiaoqin, they still want to tell the second brother? I really don't know what they think. Eldest sister, you can't agree to this, the old lady of the Sun family has a good relationship with the old Han family, and they are both people who love to take advantage. Xiaoqin is also a snarky person, let's not talk about her appearance, her temperament is not good. My second brother is not very old, so I will slowly find a good one in the future. It's not like going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but digging them into the basket is vegetables, that's not good. Yunni's little head shook like a rattle, just disagreeing.

made Yun Xue choke enough, hugged her sister's shoulders and smiled, "Okay, my good sister, I didn't agree." Don't say you can't look down on it, I can't look down on the eldest sister either. ”

Yunxia on the side saw that the two sisters were laughing, so she climbed onto Yunxue's lap, hugged Yunxue's neck and laughed together.

"Little one, what do you know? Just smiling so happily there? Beware of the eldest sister to find you a powerful sister-in-law to come back, and take care of you wild girl. Yun Xue stretched out her hand, scratched Yun Xia's little nose twice, and said with a smile.

Yunxia naturally didn't understand what a sister-in-law was, but as soon as she heard that she had to take care of herself, she frowned directly, "Sister-in-law? No. ”

It made all the Yunxue sisters laugh.

On the other side, Grandma Zhong led her daughter-in-law and Han Yue'e to Li's house together. It happened that the Li family was picking corn in the yard, and when she saw them coming, Grandma Li happily let everyone into the house.

"What's going on today? Come together at my house? Grandma Li naturally saw the basket in Han Yue's hand, and she was a little puzzled, the Li family is very Wu family and the Wu family doesn't have any dealings, why did this Yunxue's aunt still bring things over?

"Old sister-in-law, I'm here to help Yun Xue and her aunt talk about matchmaking today. The eldest son of the Wu family is optimistic about your family's beautiful jade, isn't this? Yun Xue, her aunt asked me to come over and talk about it. How? Old sister-in-law, do you think this family business will be successful? "Grandma Zhong is the type of person who is quick to talk, so she said it straightforwardly." There are hundreds of women in this family, and there are good daughters in the family, so you have to be like this, old sister-in-law, don't think we're too straightforward. ”

Grandma Li was still a little surprised, she knew the eldest son of the Wu family, she was good-looking, and she was still a literate person. I heard that when I was in the south before, I followed Wu Chunsheng to manage things, and he was a capable child. Meiyu is also fifteen years old this year, it is the age when it should be said to be pro, if it weren't for Gao Li's people making too much trouble this year, every household would not have this mind, I'm afraid it would have been decided a long time ago.

Han Yue'e also hurriedly spoke, "Aunt Li, you also know about our family. Although he came back from the south and took root in the village, he still has a little bit of a family background after all these years outside. Yuxiang said the daughter-in-law first, and then it was time for Yuqi, our family didn't dare to say anything else, the two sons still had the money to marry their daughter-in-law. If my aunt has any requirements, just mention it, I can meet it here, so naturally I will not shirk, if Meiyu marries, I guarantee that I will not be able to treat her badly. ”

Han Yue'e said, and put the basket in her hand in front of Grandma Li, "No, Yuxiang told me last night, I went to the town early in the morning to prepare." This one in the town is good, and please don't dislike it. ”

Grandma Li also understood now, it turned out that Han Yue'e was a meeting gift. "Big niece, look at you, I don't know if this family affair can be done, why are you buying such things? I can't afford to spend that much money. Grandma Li hurriedly pushed the basket towards Han Yue'e.

"Let's do this, I have to discuss it with Meiyu, her parents, and Meiyu, our family is not that old-fashioned, it has to be liked by the child, right?" Grandma Li didn't say yes.

"What my aunt said is that this marriage is a major event for the two children's lives, and we can't just say it ourselves. However, I bought this thing for my aunt's uncle and Meiyu, and since I brought this, my aunt left it. Whether it succeeds or not, we all live in the same village, and the neighbors should move around each other. Even if Meiyu is unwilling, the big deal is that I recognize a goddaughter. Han Yue'e pushed the basket forward again and said with a smile.
