Twenty-eight handfuls of facial hair, appliqués.

At this time, there is no easy and convenient yeast powder for making noodles, and ordinary noodles are easy to break a few days in advance, only noodles do not like to be bad, so they make noodles on the 28th.

The applique refers to the pasting of couplets, and the red paper is pasted on the walls and windows, which looks very festive.

The closer to the thirtieth day, the more happy the children are, the delicious food at home has already aroused their gluttony, parents are more spoiled children, and will give pocket money to buy a small red cannon, under the watchful eyes of other children, light the little red cannon with a red-hot branch, and then throw it on the ground, "pop" sound, old and energetic.

Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns.

Other people's steamed buns have been served, but the Qin family has not made the slightest movement, because Liu Qin did not plan to steam steamed steamed buns this year, so she did not make noodles yesterday.

Except for the white noodles needed to make dumplings on the thirtieth night, she wrapped all the rest, planning to send her mother there, her teeth are not good, and her stomach is not good, white noodles are a good thing, nutritious and toothless, and she sent it to her old man, just right.

At this time, Liu Qin had forgotten the fact that Li Chunhua was only two years younger than her mother, one was an old lady in the countryside who had worked hard for most of her life, and the other was an old lady in the city who had been living in the city and her family conditions had never been bad, and the latter's health was much better than the former.

It's just that Liu's mother doesn't like to move, especially when there are guests at home, she likes to sit at the table and eat melon seeds lazily, which gives Liu Qin a crooked feeling of her old lady's illness.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Qin family got up very late, this winter, neither to go to work nor to school, and there is no work at home, so who wants to get up early?

What's more, Liu Qin said last night that the family wants to make dumplings to eat on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is difficult to eat a good meal, then of course you have to empty your stomach and pretend to be delicious, so the meal in the morning and the meal at noon are combined, and only two meals are eaten today.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, a large family sat together, and the bowl was filled with sweet potato porridge with more rice and fewer grains. The grains of rice in each person's bowl can be counted.

Li Chunhua came out of the house on tiptoe and awkwardly, as soon as she saw the food on the table, it was called a dissatisfied, and she would eat this for the New Year?

Yesterday it was Chinese cabbage stewed potatoes, and some oil was put in it, but today it was directly boiled sweet potatoes, not to mention white noodles, she hadn't even seen rice.

When she was in Qingou Village, her hometown in the countryside, she ate better than this during the New Year, who is this fooling!

She found that Liu Qin has been getting more and more excessively recently, and there are a little good things at home, all of which were pulled into her hands, gotten to her mother's house, and given to her mother.

Today is even more excessive, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, such an important day, can only eat two meals a day, not to mention, the things prepared are still so perfunctory, the little grain at home she has long planned for a long time, wait for Ming'er to pay New Year's greetings, all sent to her old wife?

"What the hell?"

"Qin Xi, it's not that the milk said you, you're too picky, it's not that there is no fine grain at home, on such an important day today, take half a catty of rice out and make a sweet potato dry rice, isn't it fragrant?"

"It's not so provincial! Our family has been eating worse than usual these days. ”

She knew that it was Liu Qin's cooking today, but she couldn't talk about her directly, so she could only use Qin Xi's method to indirectly order Liu Qin, hoping that she would be more restrained in the coming days.

Qin Xi didn't mean to speak at all, just bury your head in cooking, the big and small kings of the family are fighting against me! She is a little cannon fodder, and she is blindly mixed with something.

With a "snap", the chopsticks in Liu Qin's hand were slapped on the table, and she said to Li Chunhua with a smile: "Mom, I made today's meal, and I want to have a good meal tonight. ”

"After all, what are the conditions of our family, you are clear, the meat dumplings at night, there are a lot of things to prepare, and this meal at noon is not to be saved?"

"Oh, you did it! I said so! ”

"Forget it, since you did it, I won't say anything."

Qin Xi saw that her grandmother took a step back, thinking that this matter was over, but who knows, the old lady spoke again.

"However, I have something to say about clearing the stomach here."

"Our family now has three meals a day, which meal is not thin?"

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and old pumpkin are made in turns, and there is no oil and water, so do you still need to clear your stomach with such a meal?"

Li Chunhua spread her hands, and everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.

There are meat tickets at home, five taels per person per month, not to mention the old lady's rural household registration, the remaining eight people add up to four catties of meat stamps every month, which is forty-eight catties a year, but in fact, the Qin family may not be able to eat meat once in March.

The meat tickets at home are all in Liu Qin's hands, according to her, the meat tickets at home are all exchanged for money to subsidize the family, but in fact, they were sent to Liu's family.

"If you don't want to eat, just leave, no one is forcing you, anyway, that's what my family wants." Liu Qin said angrily.

"Qin Shan and I are the only two people in the family who get salaries, but they have to provide food and drink for nine people, one of the family has not yet supplied food, and the things she eats and drinks are all saved from other people's mouths, such a family, if you don't save a little, can you still live this life?"

The only rural household registration in the family is Li Chunhua, who has no rations.

Li Chunhua's ears are not deaf yet, what does Liu Qin mean by this, she understands it very well, doesn't it mean that she is dragging the back of this family?

It is impossible to walk, not in this life.

She has been in the city for more than ten years, and when she returns to Qingou Village, can she still get used to life in the village?

"Saving is to save, but it also depends on time! Today is thirty, the last day of the year, eat this at home? ”

"It's not my wife who picks it, I used to be a widow, and when I was alone in the village and dragged the two brothers of Qinshan and Qinshu to grow up, on the day of the New Year, I could still let them eat a few good meals and be full."

As soon as Qin Shan heard this, he remembered the past when he was in his hometown and depended on his mother and younger brother for his life, how hard life was at that time!

"Now..."Liu Qin just wanted to refute, but his sleeves were pulled, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Qin Shan.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, paste the firewood box after eating, when it is more than three o'clock, we will start to make dumplings, and the dumplings can be put into the pot at more than four o'clock." Qin Shan stood up and said to a few small people in the family.

A few small ones were also very face-saving, and asked about the topic of dumplings, which was stirred up by this, and the previous topic could not go on, and this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turmoil also disappeared invisibly.
