Jiang Yuqing heard that he was going to build a new house, and his beautiful big eyes were bent into small crescents.

Afraid that the money at home was not enough, he hurriedly pulled out a bowl-sized Ganoderma lucidum from the spiritual realm and stuffed it to Lao Hu. The happy old Hu hugged her for a good kiss.

Cover it, cover it, preferably make it bigger. I would also like a separate room.

After the matter was decided, the Jiang family kept looking for the engineering team to buy materials to make furniture. It's so busy that it's in full swing.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Jiang Yuqing. Milk dumplings should be eaten, eaten, and slept. Occasionally, when outsiders see her, they will shout "Little Miss".

Since the middle move, Jiang Wenyuan has gone out when he returns to the village, even if he sees Li Zheng, he must respectfully and respectfully call him "Master Jiang or Jiang Juren".

Even Old Man Jiang and Old Hu walked in the village, and no one dared to call "Old Man Jiang" or "Hu Pozi" at will.

Respectfully call "old lady" or "old lady". The most unfortunate will also shout "old brother of the Jiang family" and "old sister-in-law of the Jiang family".

All in all, as long as the Jiang family goes out, they don't dare to look down on it.

The girl who married out in the village, whenever she said that her mother's home was from Jindu, others would take a look at it.

However, Jiang Wenyuan himself was not complacent because of this.

After this exam, he became more aware of the gap between himself and others, and only told himself in his heart that he had to work harder.

So after staying at home for two days, he left his wife and daughter and returned to the county school, preparing for the spring of the coming year.

The mountain chief of the county school was very pleased to see that he worked so hard and was not arrogant or impatient.

The Jiang family was afraid that he would work too hard and break his bones, so after discussion, they bought a clever seventeen-year-old young man, called Ah Ping, and sent him to be a servant, so that he could take care of his daily life nearby.

Although Jiang Wenyuan was a little helpless, he also knew that it was the kindness of his family.

And he soon realized that there was a small advantage to it. At least he doesn't have to worry about trivial tasks such as laundry and food every day, which can save a lot of time.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

At the beginning of the month, the Jiang family's mansion was officially completed and occupied.

The blue bricks and tiles, spacious and bright Sanjin mansion has become the first part of Xijindu, which is really hot for the eyes. However, it can only be hot, who makes a person in the family.

Halfway through the wax moon, the first snow of the winter finally fell, and it was probably the only snow of the winter. Although it is only a thin layer, it is really happy.

The climate in the south is warm and warm, and snow is a rarity in the south.

Jiang Yuqing's baby, who is nine months old, is becoming more and more cute. And because he wears a lot, he lives like a chubby glutinous rice dumpling.

This fat ball can't walk yet, and he crawls neatly. At night, I took off my thick clothes, and I was able to stand firmly on the bed for a while while holding on to the bed.

However, whenever she wanted to move her steps and walk up, the little short legs made her fall in the ass.

She was not discouraged, she was defeated and defeated repeatedly, and the more frustrated she became, the more courageous she became.

Whenever this happens, Lu will always be happy to watch his little daughter fall on all fours, get up again, walk again, fall again, and get up again.

Occasionally, when my daughter falls on all fours, she gently pokes her soft little belly, or scratches her fat feet, and enjoys it. I even wrote it as a funny thing in a letter to my husband.

Fortunately, there is a very mature and powerful soul inside the glutinous rice dumplings. On the one hand, he despises the bad taste of his mother, and on the other hand, he continues to work hard for the great cause of walking independently as soon as possible.

The year in the south begins on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month.

The day before the stove, the school had a winter vacation. Jiang Wenyuan also returned from the county school.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, sweep the house and celebrate the year of the stove.

The Jiang family's house and furniture are brand new and don't need to be cleaned.

Even so, cleaning bed tents, bedding and New Year's sacrificial objects is not a small project. For a while, the women in the family were a little busy.

Jiang Wenyuan took a good errand to see his baby daughter, and by the way, he detained a group of cubs to study in the study.

Of the seven boys of the Jiang family's grandchildren, the eldest brother Jiang Yujiang is the most stable and good at reading. After another two years of training, you can give it a try.

In addition, Jiang Yuhu in line 3 and Jiang Yuchuan in line 7 are very good.

Especially Jiang Yuchuan, Xu inherited his father's gene of being able to read, don't look at his young age, but he is the smartest of the seven brothers.

No matter what it is, the Master often remembers it once he speaks, and he can draw inferences from others, which can be called unforgettable.

Such a talent is naturally very liked by the master. Lu Lao Xiucai also pays great attention to this grandson and often opens a small stove for him.

Jiang Wenyuan was also very happy when he found out that his son was quite talented in reading, and he always took him with him to teach him carefully whenever he went home.

The rest of them, although they are not as talented as the previous ones in reading, are also very hard-working, which is not bad.

There is only Jiang Yuhe who is the second. I don't know which piece of anti-bone I was born wrong, and I have a headache when I read the book. I often dream of learning the heroes in the book, fighting swords and rivers and lakes in the future, and being happy with enmity.

Therefore, after reading it in the school for a long time, he can barely read half of the three-character scripture, and he is so angry that Mr. often scolds him for not being able to carve rotten wood.

As for the little milk dumpling Jiang Yuqing. When her brothers were studying, she obediently sat in her handsome father's arms, opened her round grape eyes, pricked up her little ears and watched quietly, listening, not crying or making trouble.

If any of the brothers took advantage of their father's neglect while he was studying, she would shout a few times to remind them to be serious.

Her voice is milky and soft, even if the tone is a little higher, it will not make people feel offensive, but she thinks why her sister is so cute.

At first, Jiang Wenyuan thought that his daughter was just impatient, and shouted a few times, but the children must be very active.

But after a long time, he found that whenever someone in the junior deserted or memorized the wrong back, his daughter would shout.

Only then did he realize that his baby daughter might not only be cute, but also extremely intelligent.

At least she can remember the articles her brothers have read, otherwise she can't explain that every time her brothers memorize a mistake, she will accurately remind her.

He held his daughter up in front of him, faced Xiao Tuanzi face to face, and teased her with a smile: "Daddy's good baby knows that my brother read it wrong, so remind them?" ”

"Ahhh I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense! I'm just a little baby who can't even speak, how could I know this.

The milk dumpling's little eyes were fluttering, but he didn't dare to look at the handsome father's eyes.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't plan to let her go, "From now on, Ganbao will be responsible for supervising the brothers' reading, okay?" ”

"Pu ......" Don't! Dad, you're squeezing child labor! Is this the job babies should do?

Milk dumplings were very angry. But when I saw the dense and shiny spittle on my handsome father's face, I was inexplicably embarrassed.

Cough, what, this baby didn't mean it, it's all tongue that doesn't listen to the call, it's a big deal that I kiss it and make amends.

So the milk dumplings took a bite on the handsome father's face, so the saliva mark was brighter, the kind that was bright and shiny.

The milk dumpling became even more weak-hearted, and when the heart was weak, he loaded an ostrich. put the little fleshy face on the shoulder of the handsome father and pretended to sleep, and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, Jiang Wenyuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the spit off his face, and then touched his little head with few hairs on the side of his neck, smiling with an idiot.

Sure enough, it's still a girl's fragrance, and even the New Year's saliva has a milky fragrance.

The sons and nephews, looking at their father (uncle) with an infatuated look, despised him in their hearts. Of course, they would never admit that they were jealous, jealous that he could hold his sister for so long.

On weekdays, only a few big ones are allowed to hug their sister for a short time, and a few small ones are not allowed to hug them at all, for fear that they will have little strength and drop their sister.

Especially the seventh Jiang Yuchuan, he is really wronged. Obviously, he is the brother of a mother's sibling, but he is not allowed to hug him, which is too much.

Since the day Jiang Wenyuan returned home, villagers have come to the door one after another, wanting to ask for a couplet.

Jiang Wenyuan is also easy to speak, and when the villagers come to beg, he writes. Each couplet charges 20-30 cents according to the number of words.

In the past, when he was still a showman, this was the price. Now that he has become a lifter, it is still at this price, which is a great loss of face for the neighbors.

After the news spread, more and more people came to ask for couplets, and even many people from other villages came to hear the news.

On the 25th and 6th, there were especially many people, and Jiang Wenyuan couldn't keep busy at all.

I had no choice but to grab a few nephews and nephews, and I was busy until the time when I was holding the lamp, so that I could write out the couplets that the neighbors wanted.

And release the news, tomorrow the day after tomorrow to go out to give New Year's gifts, if you ask for a couplet, you have to come back in the late afternoon.

Jiang Wenyuan is busy here, and the rest of the Jiang family is also busy. You also have to buy New Year's goods to wash utensils, make rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes, and rice sweets.

Cheongju is rich in rice, among which there is a kind of fragrant rice, and the cooked rice is extraordinarily fragrant, and there is even a saying that "one family cooks rice and ten fragrant rice".

The yield of this fragrant rice is very low, and the gross grain obtained from one mu of land is only 100 catties, and the corresponding price is also high.

Usually only large families will buy it during the Chinese New Year, and use the yellow gardenia fruit to dye it to make adult cakes, or use it for their own use or give it to relatives and friends. Then it is steamed with glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, or rice fruits.

This year, it has to be a year of good weather and wind, ordinary people can barely fill their stomachs, and the New Year is only symbolically to buy two or three catties of meat, make tail fish, and fool the mouth, which is excellent, where can you think about these things.

Only when the family marries a daughter-in-law and hires them, they will make a few rice cakes as one of the dowry gifts, which is very face-saving in the countryside.

And then during the Chinese New Year, the clan pays for it, and it is more or less a meaning to make two or three for the ancestors. As for rice fruits, they are even more rare because they have to use a lot of sugar and oil.

In the countryside, it is rare to see oil stars in the rice bowl, let alone fried rice nuts, which I dare not think.

This year, the Jiang family's life is better, and the old Hu family bought 200 catties of fragrant rice and 300 catties of glutinous rice to make rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes and rice fruits.

In this way, in addition to offering to the ancestral hall and giving favors, you can also leave some for yourself to eat.

Making rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes and rice sweets is hard work, and it is definitely not enough to have a few people in your own family. Lao Hu asked some people close to the clan to help.

Twenty-six make rice cakes.

Soak the fragrant rice for two days, wash and drain the water. Boil the yellow mast fruit and squeeze the juice, dye the rice evenly to golden brown, and then steam it in the pot.

In just half an hour, the fragrance of fragrant rice wafted all over the village, making adults and children swallow their saliva directly. Even Jiang Yuqing was also greedy for this unique and domineering fragrance, and his little nose shrugged one after another.

Lu smiled and tapped her little nose to tease her: "My good baby also wants to eat, don't you?" ”

"Ahh yes, it smells so good.

"Little gluttonous cat! Wait, my mother will get it for you. ”

After a while, Lu came back with a very small rice ball. When Jiang Yuqing saw it, his big eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth to eat.

The rice particles entered the mouth, and the unique, bright, fresh and elegant aroma exploded in the mouth in an instant, making people feel like being in the clouds, so delicious that they cried that the fragrant rice of a certain country that was blown by the elders was so loud that it was not even a slag compared to it.

The milk dumplings swallowed the fragrant rice and rice, and asked for it with their mouths open.

Lu refused to give it again: "Although this thing is fragrant, it is not easy to restrain it, and it is easy to accumulate food if you have too many snacks." ”

Although Jiang Yuqing felt regretful, he also knew that what his mother said was reasonable, so he no longer insisted. Around, there will be a chance to eat in the future, don't rush this time.

After eating, she made a fuss about going to the yard to watch the rice cakes.

Lu's hands were empty, so he wrapped her tightly, let Jiang Yujiang, who had a steady personality, carry her, and repeatedly instructed his nephew to stand far away from the stone mortar, so as not to be accidentally injured by the men who beat the rice cakes.
