Chapter 42 Dumplings and longevity noodles for descendants

One

After the wedding banquet, most of the guests and friends returned one after another. Only the old and young aunts and grandmothers in the house lived. In the evening, they gathered in the living room to chat together, and talked about the joy of the wedding banquet, the beauty of the bride, the changes after a long absence, and their respective thoughts. The mother-in-law felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law, and knew that the two of them were too tired for a day, so she instructed the board of directors to blow away all the bad boys who tried to make trouble in the cave room. And said to the grandmothers who were preparing dumplings and longevity noodles for the newlyweds' children and grandchildren: "Everything should be early, don't delay it late, finish it early, lock the door and let the little couple rest early." ”

"Got it." So, the four grandmothers immediately started to cook their children and grandchildren's dumplings and longevity noodles. After a while, they brought the boiled dumplings and longevity noodles to the table and said, "The bride and groom, this is the longevity noodles of the dumplings, eat it, eat more!" ”

The groom looked at the dumplings and longevity noodles served to the dinner table, picked up chopsticks, and sandwiched a dumpling for his wife, and said, "Eat!" ”

The bride looked at the dumplings that her husband had sandwiched for her and said helplessly: "I don't want to eat it." ”

The husband said, "I don't want to eat it." The grandmother on the side heard the bride say that she didn't want to eat the dumplings of her children and grandchildren, and hurriedly interjected: "Why don't you want to eat?" This is the longevity noodles of the dumplings, and it depends on the two of you whether the people of the mansion will be prosperous or not in the future, so to speak, it all depends on the longevity noodles of the dumplings, which is what your husband and wife must eat. The bride listened to the old woman's words and said: "The symptoms of dizziness and vomiting in a sedan chair have not completely disappeared, and I really don't want to eat it." ”

"Oh, as I said just now, this grandson's dumplings are particular about longevity noodles, and they can't help but eat them. This is the descendants of the dumplings, after eating the dumplings of the children and grandchildren, the descendants of the children and grandchildren are in a group around the knees, this dumpling can not be given up and not eaten, if you don't eat the in-laws will be unhappy if you know. Noodles are longevity noodles, and you can't help but eat them, longevity noodles are a symbol of longevity. ”

The bride thought: "This grandson dumplings longevity noodles still have so much exquisiteness?" In that case, let's eat it yourself. So he said, "I'll eat, I'll eat as much as I can." ”

Seeing that his wife was so helpless, the husband said, "You can eat as much as you can, and I will eat as much as you want." In this way, the same represents what our husband and wife eat, the same represents the hearts of our husband and wife, the same represents the prosperity of our family, and the same represents the long life of my husband and wife. The bride smiled sweetly when she heard her husband's words, and immediately forced her husband to eat the dumplings that her husband had sandwiched for herself. The husband was secretly happy when he saw his wife eat the dumplings of his children and grandchildren. I thought, "Ah, my lady can eat it." So, he picked up another dumpling and put it in his wife's bowl. Madame looked at her husband and said helplessly: "No, don't give me any more clips; I don't want to eat it, I really don't want to eat it. He said, "I really don't want to eat it." But for the dumplings that her husband had already sandwiched into the bowl, she still barely ate them.

"How good this is, the descendants of the house will be prosperous in the future." The grandmothers said happily when they saw the bride eating the dumplings of her children and grandchildren. Then he asked: "Is this dumpling raw?" Does this side grow? ”

The bride was shy and speechless at her grandmother's question. The bridegroom seemed excited, and he happily replied to his grandmother, "The dumplings are raw, and they are very raw; The face is long, and it looks very long! ”

The grandmothers listened to the groom's witty and meaningful words and said happily: "It is good to be born, the more you are born, the better, you are not afraid of being born, you are afraid of not being born." Then he said: "The longer the noodles, the better, the better the growth, the longer the longevity of the noodles!" Good husband and wife, good marriage, children and grandchildren around the knee, long life! The old woman said, and the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. In the laughter of the grandmothers, the husband saw that he had eaten the second dumpling he had sandwiched for his wife. Later, he put a few longevity noodles in a bowl for his wife, and put them on top of marinade, vegetables, and seasoning food, stirred evenly, and said, "Eat!" Madame picked up a stick of longevity noodles and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, saying, "I really don't want to swallow it." A grandmother outside the door immediately walked in and said, "How's that going to happen?" This is longevity noodles that must be eaten! Is there anything more important than longevity? Longevity is everyone's expectation and desire, who doesn't want to live a long life? Eat macrobiotic noodles anyway! In the face of what the old grandmother said, the bride couldn't say anything, so she had to bite the bullet and continue to eat hard. Seeing that his wife was eating so hard, the husband said, "If it is so difficult to swallow, eat it slowly, swallow it slowly, and it will always be good." In addition, the longer we rely on time to grind and eat, the more longevity noodles you will eat. The more prosperous our children and grandchildren will be, and the longer we will live. When Mrs. heard her husband's words, she thought of the words of the grandmother who had both children and grandchildren, and then thought of longevity? Self-knowledge: Is there anything more desirable than longevity? Life is only once in a lifetime for everyone, and longevity is everyone's dream. So, she ate slowly, stayed up for a long time, and every longevity noodle she put in her mouth needed to chew for a few minutes. She used her time to win the amount of longevity noodles that she ate dumplings for her children and grandchildren. She ate and swallowed hard. Seeing her eat so hard and swallow so hard, the husband laughed and said: "This descendant's dumplings are rare in life, with far-reaching meanings, and they only come once in a lifetime." Some people just dream all their lives, just eat in dreams, what delicious dumplings? This dumpling is filled with three freshness. There is meat, lobster, and leeks in the filling. This delicious dumpling tastes delicious and long, but you eat it so hard that you don't want to swallow it, so I can ...... it for you."

The husband said, and the bride listened helplessly, and then said, "It's not because of you?" ”

"Because of me? How? The husband asked.

"If I hadn't married you, I would have been stunned when I sat in a sedan chair and was bumped and turned over? And how to regurgitate? And how do you vomit and don't want to eat? Don't want to swallow? Aren't all these symptoms caused by you? ”

The husband listened to the lady's funny words and said: "It seems that it is indeed my fault, I am the culprit of all your discomfort, and the husband here makes amends!" So, he jokingly folded his hands and bowed down to make amends, saying, "I'm sorry for making my wife aggrieved, and I will make up for you well in my future life, take care of you, and make up for the bumps, intolerables, and discomforts you have suffered." ”

Madame listened to her husband's words, glanced at her husband, and said shyly: "Who asked you to compensate, I want you to know the real reason why I don't want to eat my descendants' dumplings and longevity noodles, who asked you to compensate?" It's your own volition! ”

"Yes, you didn't let me compensate, I voluntarily compensated, and I was even more willing. If it weren't for our willingness, how would we have the marriage we have today? How can there be a full moon today? This is all because you are willing and I are willing, it is the love between the two sides! When the lady heard her husband's words, her heart trembled, and her brain seemed to be paralyzed. At this point, she didn't know how to answer, just chewed and swallowed slowly. And with his tender eyes, he kept peeking at his husband. In this way, you can not only kill time, but also eat more dumplings and longevity noodles for your children and grandchildren. In this way, she sometimes peeked at her husband, sometimes lowered her head and chewed and swallowed slowly to prolong the time and eat more dumplings and longevity noodles of her offspring.

The four grandchildren and grandchildren who were waiting for the bride and groom outside the cave house were already muttering in their hearts, whispering, "What are the bride and groom doing?" Why did the descendants eat dumplings longevity noodles for so long? Where is this eating dumplings and longevity noodles? Is it just grinding time? The four grandmothers whispered and discussed.

The newlyweds so slowly, chewing slowly, grinding for time, until the mother-in-law came. The mother-in-law saw that her son and daughter-in-law were still eating the longevity noodles of the dumplings of the children and grandchildren, and thought: "How many of the dumplings and longevity noodles do the husband and wife eat?" Thinking about it, and then secretly rejoicing, he whispered again and again: "Good thing, good thing." The more he and his husband and grandson eat dumplings and longevity noodles, the more my grandchildren will come, and the longer their life span. "The more I think about it, the happier I become. Then he said happily: "You two haven't finished eating that?" Isn't it cold that this descendant's dumplings and longevity noodles have been eaten for so long? As soon as the words came out, the four grandmothers thought to themselves: "How can you export this like this for a happy event?" Words are a bit unlucky, huh? So he hurriedly remedied: "It can't be cold, it can't be cold, how can we let our children and grandchildren make the dumplings cold for longevity?" If it's really cold, let's go to the heat again, and we have to let the newlyweds eat steaming dumplings and longevity noodles. "When my mother heard her grandmother's words, she also consciously said the wrong mouth, went out of tune, and changed her taste; Fortunately, the four grandmothers received the words in time, otherwise, they would care for the rest of their lives, thinking about themselves.

When the bride heard her mother-in-law's words, she hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks. The groom had already eaten, but he refused to put down the dishes and chopsticks just to accompany the bride to eat more, and when he heard his mother's words, he hurriedly got up to greet his mother.

When the mother-in-law arrived, the daughter-in-law immediately got up to greet her and said, "Mom." ”

"Alas!" Mom happily agreed. Then he said, "If you eat well, freshen up and sleep, it's too tiring for a day!" ”

"Got it, thank you mom for your concern."

The mother happily replied to her daughter-in-law, "Thank you, shouldn't you care about you?" After saying that, he instructed the servant to make tea, prepare snacks and fruits, and prepare the toiletries. let his son and daughter-in-law use it for their own use, and repeatedly told his son and daughter-in-law to rest as soon as possible.

The husband and wife sent off their four grandmothers, sent their mothers away, and walked into the cave house hand in hand to enjoy the joy of their newlyweds. The husband peeled an apple and handed it to the bride and said, "Because of dizziness, I didn't eat much of the dumplings and longevity noodles, eat an apple to relieve the dizziness." Apples are not as refreshing as dumplings, which are greasy and hard to swallow, and all discomfort will be swept away if you eat this apple. ”

The bride was feeling sick with dizziness and nausea, and when she saw the apple that her husband had peeled herself, she thought, "Maybe just like the husband said, all the discomfort will disappear immediately after eating an apple." Thinking of this, she took the apple and ate it slowly. Ah, it's so refreshing! "After only a few bites of apples, I immediately felt refreshed, refreshed, and unwell-inspired. She ate until she ate the whole apple and said, "My husband has thought it through, the apple is refreshing, and the feeling of discomfort is immediately lifted after eating." ”

"Then let's eat another one!" The husband said.

"Do I have that big belly?" Madame said jokingly.

"Yes, how much space can an apple occupy? If you can't fit two apples, how can you give birth to children? ”

Hearing this, Madame's face immediately turned crimson with shame, like a red cloth, like a cloud of fire. She said shyly, "You're bad, you're so bad!" ”

"Why do you talk about me being bad? You don't know the meaning of the longevity noodles of the dumplings? If you know, why do you talk about me being bad? What a silly lady. ”

The lady was embarrassed to hide her husband's words, and she quickly covered her face with her hands to cover her reddened cheeks and said, "Don't listen, don't listen!" ”

The husband grabbed his wife's hand and said, "If you don't listen, you have to listen." Then he said: "My husband and wife get together less and leave more, I am busy with work, and I have been away for a long time, and it is rare for me to get together." In this way, when we all meet, we think, hope, think, and think, and our words become desirable and precious, and tonight is precious to both of us. He gushed out, intending to inform his wife of the importance of his work and the torment of gathering less and leaving more, and to cherish the time between the two of them. So he said, "It's especially difficult to have a baby." The bride listened to her husband's words, looked at the quilt, and thought about the joyful song sung by the four grandmothers:

Double bedding, affection and love.

Sleep in the same bed, year after year.

Children and grandchildren are around the knees, and the melons are endless.

She recalled this happy song, and thought of what her husband said just now, and her heart was like fighting. She lay down in her clothes, squinting at her heart and token promise of her love for the young man. He said silently in his heart: "Could it be that the same bed and different dreams are told to me?" Thinking of this, I was stunned and afraid, and I couldn't express my bitterness.

The husband looked at the lady lying down in the clothes and thought, "Are you tired or ashamed to be a lady?" Why don't you even speak? Why is that? Alas, what do you want to do so much, you have mixed thoughts! Thinking of this, he looked at the lady who was lying still, and said to himself, "Sleep! "It doesn't matter why, just when you're tired, and then you lie down with your clothes.
