Chapter 42 Yunqiang meets the temptation of the Zhang people
The expression on Father Lin's face was wonderful, Lin Yanniang saw his expression as soon as she looked up, thinking that in her previous life, her father also found out that she and An Jinyun were not thrifty, but at that time she and An Jinyun had a bad relationship, and her father was afraid that she would be abandoned by An Jinyun, and she often brought food over later.
Thinking of this, Lin Yanniang stretched out her hand and held Father Lin's hand, "Dad, yesterday Xianggong and his cousin went to the town together and bought a lot of things back, all of which were the silver brought by my cousin." ”
Lin Yanniang said this, An Jinyun would not dismantle her platform, Yun Qiang wanted to speak, but his leg was kicked by An Jinyun, and he didn't dare to refute it at all.
Father Lin thought that An Jinyun also brought a lot of silver, and he thought in his heart that Yun Qiang probably also brought a lot of silver.
Father Lin naturally wouldn't know that Yun Qiang was actually about to starve to death when he came.
Father Lin returned home, thought about it and thought about it, but still told the meal he had at Lin Yanniang's house today, and only then did he say to Mother Lin: "You have time to talk about Yan Niang, you can't live such a big life." ”
In Father Lin's opinion, whether it is An Jinyun, who is not much younger than him, or An Jinyun's cousin, they are all children, or children who can't live.
Mother Lin listened to Father Lin's words and nodded, she also felt that what Father Lin said was right, and thought about how to mention this matter the next time she saw Lin Yanniang.
Brother Lin lowered his head and didn't say a word, but he laughed in his heart, his father and mother still wanted to say that his sister and brother-in-law would let them save some in the future, but they didn't know that his brother-in-law had to eat meat every day.
He had lived at his sister's house for so long, but he knew how good his brother-in-law was.
Not only can the brother-in-law eat, but the brother-in-law has to eat meat every day, and his sister not only cooks in different ways every day, but also has a lot of prey hunted by his brother-in-law in the utility room.
The next day, the Lin family made tofu, and An Jinyun asked Yun Qiang to help grind tofu, but he stayed at home to help Lin Yanniang deal with the things at home.
The pheasants and hares hunted in autumn were not eaten by Lin Yanniang at that time, and there were more than 30 of them at home.
Lin Yanniang kept four of each for the New Year's gift, and the others were soaked in water and prepared to cook them tomorrow with special seasonings.
His family only had his mother's house to leave in the village, and Mother Lin told her in advance that the New Year's gift from her aunt's family was less than that given to her.
There are four pheasants and hares, Lin Yanniang plans to have one pheasant and one hare in the village chief's house, and so is the cousin's family, and the last rest will be given to the mother's family.
One-third of the tofu made yesterday was frozen in the snow by Lin Yanniang and made into frozen tofu, and the rest of the tofu Lin Yanniang raised in the water.
In winter, the weather is cold, and tofu can be raised like this until the New Year.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, snowflakes fell again in Wankou Village, and Lin Yanniang soaked the noodles in water to let it melt, preparing to steam steamed buns and steamed buns the next day.
Most of the people in Wankou Village are steamed steamed buns for the New Year, and some people will put cabbage and tofu buns on hold, Lin Yanniang finally thought about it for a while, and then decided to wrap three kinds of stuffed buns.
Cabbage tofu with oil residue is one, radish with pork is one, and finally An Jinyun asked Lin Yanniang to wrap the sugar steamed bun.
The brown sugar and small red dates were wrapped in white dough and woken up for half an hour before entering the steamer.
An Jinyun watched Lin Yanniang prepare several kinds of fillings, and the two vegetable fillings were fishy, and he was in a good mood and said to Lin Yanniang that when the buns were ready, he would eat two first.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Anjia steamed steamed buns, and the people of Wankou Village stood in their yards and could smell the fragrance wafting from Anjia.
Other people's steamed buns for the New Year will not put meat at all, and those with better conditions at home will give more oil at most, and they will keep the dumplings for the New Year to eat.
But the An family is not, not only do the two vegetable fillings have meat, but Lin Yanniang also put a lot of oil, just so that An Jinyun can like it.
The noodles were made yesterday by An Jinyun and Yun Qiang, they had a lot of strength, and they made a large vat of noodles, and they made them in the house overnight, and the dough was only raised this morning.
"Xianggong, Xianggong!"
Lin Yanniang made buns, An Jinyun, who was already able to burn the fire, hid in the pot and burned the fire, staring at the fire, and Yunqiang was responsible for giving Lin Yanniang a hand.
An Jinyun, who was sitting behind the pot, heard Lin Yanniang's voice, so he immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that he tasted steamed buns? He had already eaten radish meat just now, so this time it should be cabbage and tofu oil residue?
Lin Yanniang didn't know An Jinyun's thoughts, and when she heard An Jinyun's answer, she immediately spoke, "I took ten of each type of bun, and you go and send it to Zhang Xiaoshui." ”
The custom of their Wankou Village is that the staple food from the Chinese New Year's Eve is to eat steamed buns, and they will eat until the fifth day of the new year, and Zhang Xiaozhuo is when the half-sized child eats the poor old man.
Although the Zhang family will definitely give him buns, what his family sends is his family's heart.
"Well, why don't you send a boiled pheasant and a hare, he eats a lot of food and loves meat. ”
Although he didn't eat steamed buns, he was a little unhappy, but when he heard Lin Yanniang thinking about Zhang Xiaoshui, An Jinyun took the opportunity to say something about giving Zhang Xiaozhuan pheasants and hares.
This year, the amount of food for all the children who practiced martial arts with An Jinyun has increased, and Zhang Xiaoxuan is also one of them, but his situation is the most special.
Without his father and mother to take care of him, he only relied on the family's fields and the help of his clansmen to survive.
So he grew taller, but he lost a lot of weight.
Hearing An Jinyun say this, Lin Yanniang didn't feel sorry for the two prey at all, Zhang Xiaoshui is a good boy, she is good to him now, Zhang Xiaoshui will naturally remember these kindnesses.
Yun Qiang had been listening to An Jinyun and Lin Yanniang talking to him, watching An Jinyun really get up and take something, Yun Qiang * his business, "Cousin and sister-in-law, let me do this matter."
”
When Yun Qiang heard that he was going to deliver something, or someone he knew, he naturally rushed to work.
A few days ago, Zhang Xiaoxuan knew that An Jinyun's family had relatives, and he came to see Yunqiang, a few days ago, An Jinyun took Yunqiang and walked around the village, and he specially pointed to Zhang Xiaoshui's house for him to see.
An Jinyun was reluctant to part with Lin Yanniang, and when he heard Yun Qiang say that he was going, he naturally handed over the matter to Yun Qiang.
Waiting for Lin Yanniang to pack everything with the bamboo basket, Yun Qiang went out with the things, and the snow outside had stopped, but the snow had not yet melted, and it was still white outside.
"Yan Niang, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
This is An Jinyun's first time celebrating the New Year in Wankou Village, and he didn't know that he needed to make so many preparations for the New Year.
However, although he was busy in Wankou Village, he found it interesting.
"It's sunny today, tomorrow I have to clean the house, I have to wash the things on the bed, I want croquettes the day after tomorrow, and I want to chop dumpling stuffing the day after tomorrow. ”
Lin Yanniang will arrange things every day in the next few days, she specially steamed more steamed buns today, and finally steamed two pots of solid steamed buns without filling, just to keep her too late to cook for the past few days, the three of them are delicious.
After listening to Lin Yanniang's arrangement, An Jinyun also began to think about things in her heart, "Tomorrow I want to write Spring Festival couplets, which was promised to several families." ”
Of course, their own family, as well as the father-in-law's family and the cousin's family, must be sent.
"Well, I'll wash at home tomorrow, with Yunqiang's help, you can write Spring Festival couplets with peace of mind. ”
Lin Yanniang knew that after An Jinyun came to Wankou Village, he wrote the Spring Festival couplets every year after he still had his mother's family.
It's just that in her previous life, she didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Hearing Lin Yanniang mention Yun Qiang, An Jinyun frowned slightly, Yun Qiang was just going to deliver something, why hasn't he come back yet.
As soon as An Jinyun muttered in his heart, a voice sounded at the courtyard gate.
The two people in the kitchen didn't take it seriously, until Yun Qiang hung his head, walked into the kitchen and handed the bamboo basket to Lin Yanniang, without saying a word, Lin Yanniang and An Jinyun looked at Yun Qiang.
As a result, Lin Yanniang was startled.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Yanniang stopped her movements in fright, and An Jinyun also saw Yun Qiang's current appearance clearly.
"Are you rolling in the snow?"
Yan Niang didn't know the true relationship between him and Yun Qiang, but Yun Qiang was his cousin, and her clothes had always been washed by her.
Now seeing that Yun Qiang was dirty, An Jinyun was angry.
"Didn't roll. ”
Yun Qiang explained in a low voice, but after finishing speaking, he was reluctant to speak, obviously unwilling to say more.
An Jinyun and Lin Yanniang glanced at each other, and finally decided to ask the matter clearly.
This is a big New Year, don't have any unpleasant things, if there is, solve it as soon as possible.
Yun Qiang was stared at by An Jinyun and Lin Yanniang, and finally had to speak, "I went to deliver something just now and met Zhang Xiaoshui's clansmen. ”
As soon as Yun Qiang's words came out, Lin Yanniang asked, "But did they embarrass you?"
Although it has been so long since the matter of Widow Zhang, after all, her departure has something to do with her.
But who knows that Yunqiang shook his head and continued, "They know that I am my cousin's cousin, and they are very respectful to me. ”
As soon as Yun Qiang finished speaking, Lin Yanniang was puzzled, if the people of the Zhang family hated her and An Jinyun because of this, this was something she could understand, but why would they be respectful.
An Jinyun was still familiar with Yun Qiang, and looked at his appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said a little angrily, "Tell us quickly, there is nothing to hide from us." ”
"Well, there is a person in the Zhang family who said that he would marry his daughter to me, and asked me if I wanted to buy a house and live in the village like my cousin.
I told him that I didn't have the money to buy a house, but he didn't believe it and insisted that his daughter send me back. ”
"She chased me halfway through when I walked fast, but I walked too fast for fear of being caught by her, so I fell. ”
The more Yun Qiang spoke, the more embarrassed he became, if it weren't for An Jinyun's thousands of instructions, he must not casually reveal his martial arts in front of the villagers, how could he be so embarrassed today.
Neither An Jinyun nor Lin Yanniang thought that Yun Qiang's clothes would be dirty for such a reason.
Yun Qiang was very worried when he thought that he might cause trouble for An Jinyun, but now looking at An Jinyun and Lin Yanniang's surprised eyes, he was indeed a little worried.
Lin Yanniang came back to her senses and coughed vigorously, "Ahem." Only then did the two of them react.
"Which family is surnamed Zhang?"
An Jinyun opened his mouth to ask, he was not particularly familiar with the person surnamed Zhang, and he still had to inquire about this matter to know how to solve it.
