Chapter 178: Mid-Autumn Festival
After the big dinner at the gate of the courtyard was dispersed, Chen Xiuyun closed the door, and the mother and daughter continued to work secretly.
In the middle of the afternoon, Chen Yi brought a bag of pork ribs, but he had to have more than two catties.
"Call your mother to eat together in the evening, and I'll fry two dishes." Chen Xiuyun didn't accept it, but she couldn't resist Chen Yi.
Jiang Xinyu poked her head out, "You can drink wine, you can have two glasses in the evening." ”
"Did the commune send mooncakes? Come, I'll fill you with a pound of mung bean cake and go back. ”
"I sent moon cakes, which are filled with bean paste."
Jiang Xinyu: "We sent it with five kernels, I don't think it's very delicious, or the lotus paste stuffing from my sister is slightly more delicious." ”
Jiang Yuzhu thinks that Wuren's moon cakes are also delicious, and the little sister will feel unpalatable when she picks her mouth.
Chen Xiuyun packed the mung bean cake in the dim sum tin box sent by Zhou Qi, with some fruit dan peel and preserved fruit in it, and put two moon cakes filled with lotus paste in it.
"My aunt is too polite, next time it's like this, I won't dare to come to the door."
Chen Xiuyun shook her head with a smile, "I don't know who is being polite to whom, let your mother stop cooking at night, and let Xinyu call you when I'm ready." ”
There is still a boiled pig's trotter left at home to be made, so I will keep it and wait for today.
There is a lot of salt in the pork ribs, so you have to soak it for two hours.
Today, every household in the village will make meat to eat, and she is not the only one who eats meat, and the smell is not so obvious.
The advantage of a small family population is really much, two hens can lay about 40 eggs a month, and the family can save all of them for their own food without pointing to the eggs in exchange for money. Chen Xiuyun is very willing to scrambled eggs every time, and this time she directly beat eight eggs.
A plate of scrambled eggs, a stuffy soybean pig's trotters, a pot of preserved pork ribs and roasted potatoes, the portion is already a lot, and it is accompanied by Erhe noodles and a pot of mung bean porridge.
After Widow Wang and Chen Yi came, Jiang Xinyu excitedly moved out the red wine jar, poured it into the washed enamel jar, and poured a small glass with a small wine glass.
The transparent purple-red wine looked so beautiful that when the jar was opened, she could smell a hint of grapes.
Widow Wang was very surprised, and took the cup and smelled it, the taste was indescribably mellow, and the aroma of wine also had a fruity aroma, which smelled much better than the taste of white wine.
Chen Xiuyun took a sip, with a slight sourness in the astringency, a little bitterness, and a little sweetness in the aftertaste.
The two agreed that it was better than the loose wine in the village, the taste was very rich, there was no strong liquor, and the mellow fruity taste was more suitable for lesbians to drink.
"Wine is good for beauty and memory, and a small glass every night is good for your body."
Widow Wang said: "Chen Yi hasn't opened his mouth when he moved back to those two jars last time, but you girl will know a lot." ”
Chen Xiuyun snorted: "She doesn't know what books she reads to learn, what she learns is nothing more than what she learns, there is a lot of sugar in this jar of wine, and the sugar that other people eat in a year is not as much as the sugar in her jar of wine." ”
Every time she sees Jiang Xinyu cooking, Chen Xiuyun feels distressed in her heart, she has been frugal for so many years, I don't know how to give birth to a girl who is so good at making things, this girl doesn't seem to know how to save at all.
Jiang Xinyu was not convinced, "People can't just endure hardship, we have to enjoy life if we have the conditions, and we have to create conditions if we don't have the conditions, but it costs a little sugar, but you drink delicious wine." ”
Jiang Xinyu's consumption outlook is definitely different from Chen Xiuyun's, which is the difference caused by different living environments in different eras.
She hadn't saved money before, and in this era, the stinky problem of spending money when she has money can't be changed, and she doesn't plan to change it, and she still has to make more money to support herself in the future.
Jiang Yuzhu hadn't heard Xiaomei's argument, but she felt that what Xiaomei said made sense.
If she didn't have the experience of making movies, if she hadn't communicated with people from the capital, if she hadn't gone to the city to work, she might have married and had children in the countryside like Jiang Pandi, and she couldn't see the outside world, she would feel that the hard life in the countryside was common, everyone was similar, and she wouldn't even notice that they were living a hard life, and she wouldn't even think about it so much.
There shouldn't be only bitterness in life, and she doesn't want to just see the world in front of her.
Knowing that Chen Yi couldn't eat spicy, none of the three dishes made by Chen Xiuyun were spicy, and the five of them were eating and drinking.
Jiang Xinyu picked up a small glass of wine and said to Chen Xiuyun: "To my dear mother, I hope you will be healthy and everything will go well in the future." ”
Chen Xiuyun was stiffened with goosebumps by her "dear mother" call, but there was another layer of heat in her heart, and she was awkward and sour for a while, it was strange and complicated, she said angrily: "Speak to me normally." ”
Most people are emotionally introverted, and those who express their emotions directly are a minority after all, and they are even more subtle in this era.
Jiang Xinyu's operation made Chen Xiuyun unable to fix it.
Jiang Xinyu smiled, poured another small cup, and smiled at Widow Wang: "This cup is for Aunt Wang, you also have to be healthy and healthy," and at the end she added with a smile, "If we are fortunate enough to become a family in the future, I hope you can treat me better in the future." ”
Jiang Yuzhu obeyed her, "You are not ashamed at all." ”
Chen Xiuyun: "She is very thick-skinned. ”
Widow Wang smiled and touched a glass with Jiang Xinyu, "You girl is really a ghost, okay, I will definitely be good to you in the future!" ”
Seeing Jiang Xinyu pour another cup, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't respect me, I'm uncomfortable." ”
Jiang Xinyu didn't care, she took the wine glass and touched her cup, "I wish the second sister better and better." ”
Jiang Yuzhu took a drink awkwardly, and muttered, "I don't know who I learned it from, why are you so numb?" ”
I said that, but I was happy in my heart.
Chen Yi saw that she had finished saluting the three of them, and it was his turn, so he automatically filled the small wine glasses in front of him.
Jiang Xinyu's wine glass came as promised, meeting his warm and dark eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled, and a shallow pear vortex appeared, making him smile too.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced up and began to rub her arms. She shouldn't have looked up, could these two people not get tired of being crooked in front of their eyes.
Chen Xiuyun didn't have so many scruples, his fingers knocked on the table, and coughed lightly, "You two are almost done." ”
With the elders present, Chen Yi was thin-skinned in the end, and he didn't open his eyes uncomfortably, and after a while, he ate the dishes seriously.
After the widow and the mother and son left, the mother and daughter finished cleaning up the pots and bowls and began to work again, and the busy work was not finished until more than eleven o'clock.
The stalls in the house are full of newspapers, and the mung bean cakes are densely packed.
"Alright, it's not early, let's rest, and continue to work tomorrow. There is no place to dry in the house again, and tomorrow I will send Yuzhu to the county, and I have to buy some oil paper again. ”
The weather is already cold at night, and the mung beans will not be bad.
The mother and daughter were not idle today, and they were tired enough, Jiang Xinyu boiled a pot of water to take a bath before going to the house to lie down.
At this time, the whole brigade was almost asleep, and the little night was all scattered, and they heard the movement outside and shouted twice.
Jiang Xinyu turned over and looked at the door, and after hearing Xiao Hei scream twice, she didn't move, turned over and continued to feel sleepy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Xiao Hei screamed a few times to wake her up.
After the hurried scream, it was quiet again, Jiang Xinyu was sleepy, but she still stood up, opened the door and called Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei wagged his tail and approached her, touching her with his nose, and it didn't look unusual.
There was no movement in the yard, and she turned around and went back to sleep.
In the hazy sleep, a sound woke her up again.
