Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Chapter 101
Xu Haibo just went to eat meat, Xu's family eats a lot of vegetables, and he didn't drink water, he was thirsty.

There happens to be this sweet and sour juice, why don't you hold a bowl and drink enough?

A bowl of soup was swallowed by him just like that.

"Grandma, this is delicious, much better than the one in my grandfather's cup, sweet and sour."

Children have a simple mind, whether it is good or not, they can judge directly by the taste.

When Xu Haibo yelled, Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu on the other end also cheered up and ran over to surround Zhou Guilan.

"Milk, whatever is good, we want to drink it too."

It was originally used to coax the children, and now the children want to drink, so why not hurry?

Zhou Guilan simply took out a stack of bowls, filled a bowl for each child, and returned some for Su Anying and Wu Qiuyan as well.

"Try it, both of you, it's delicious." Pregnant women can get special treatment.

"If you want to drink, do it yourself. There is still in the pot. After filling, add some water and continue steaming. You can steam it twice."

Zhou Guilan turned her head to look at Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong. They were all married for several years. Her mother-in-law didn't need to do these things, she could eat whatever she wanted.

Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong were not polite either, they went down to the ground to get bowls, each filled some to drink.

Not to mention, this sweet and sour taste is really suitable for women's taste, and it is quite delicious.

"Third, look at you who have been silent for a whole day, but you are quite good at thinking, and you can poke out everything."

Wei Mingrong finished the juice in two gulps, and couldn't help complimenting Xu Shiyan.

However, when she said this, she didn't know whether it was a compliment or an insult.

Xu Shiyan smiled when he heard the words, but didn't say anything. He did this to coax his wife, and it was purely for the family.

Of course, this cannot be said, whatever they think.

This is just right, the women and children drink fruit juice, the men drink alcohol, and the reunion dinner is delicious.

Until after five o'clock, I had enough food and drinks, and there were still a lot of dishes left on the table.

Men drink too much, or sleep or get together to chat, while women are busy cleaning up.

Water was boiled in the big pot in the kitchen, and the two kangs in the west room were very hot. A big basin was placed in the middle of the floor, and hot water was poured in.

Xue Xiulin and sister-in-law Wei Mingrong put the children in the water one by one and scrubbed them.

After the children finished washing, the door was locked, and the women also took their own baths.

For Chinese New Year, remove the old clothes and make new ones. Only after washing can you change into new clothes for the New Year.

After finishing the work, it was getting late, so I called the man up, and washed what should be washed, and then started to chop meat and vegetables, and bread dumplings.

In Xu's house, Chinese New Year dumplings must be stuffed with cabbage and radish.

Cabbage is a homonym for Baicai, and radish is also called Laifu, both of which have excellent meanings.

When everything was ready, panels were placed on the south kang in the east house, and the women either sat on the kang or took a stool and started making dumplings.

It is cold in the Northeast, and there must be a kang at home, so I have developed a habit, and I am happy to do a lot of work on the kang.

The old lady in the Northeast is even more unique, sitting cross-legged.

Of course Zhou Guilan would, too. She was sitting cross-legged on one side of the panel, kneading the dough with her hands.

In a short time, knead the dough into long strips, and then use your hands to shape them into evenly sized doses, and place the doses neatly in rows.

Speaking of which, grabbing the potion with your hands is definitely not as fast as cutting it with a knife.

But in this era, eating dumplings is not only a meal, but more of a meaning, and there must be a sense of ritual.

Anyway, at Zhou Guilan's place, the dumplings must be pulled by hand. This is a rule, and it is not allowed to be broken.

A piece of noodles was quickly pulled into four neat rows, and at this time, I grabbed a handful of thin noodles and sprinkled them on, and flattened the noodles with my hands.

Only the girls and daughters-in-law can take it, use a rolling pin to roll it into dumpling wrappers, wrap them with stuffing, and place them neatly on the curtain.

It must be unpleasant to make dumplings like this, and fortunately the family has a lot of staff, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dumplings until midnight.

There are many families in Xu, and there are also many dumplings. The dumplings are made from eight o'clock until eleven o'clock.

It happened that Xu Shixiang and his friends also fried melon seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc., so they boiled the dumplings.

After the dumplings were put into the pot, Xu Chenghou led his children and grandchildren to light firecrackers outside.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the children clap their hands and laugh and make noise amidst the crackling sound, and the new year comes amidst the laughter.

There were firecrackers going off outside one after another, and Xu Chenghou also coaxed his grandchildren to light up a few firecrackers, coaxing the children to play.

It didn't stop until the house shouted to eat dumplings.

"Let's go, go back to the house and eat dumplings. Kowtow to grandpa after eating the dumplings. Grandpa has red envelopes for you." Xu Chenghou coaxed the grandchildren who hadn't had enough fun into the house.

The little babies had been outside for a long time, and their faces were flushed from the cold.

Even so, they didn't feel cold, they were all very happy.

For Chinese New Year, children are the ones who celebrate the New Year, and the New Year belongs to them. Only these carefree children are the happiest.

The meal at five o'clock in the afternoon, it's midnight, and I'm hungry, and there are delicious dumplings, who wouldn't be greedy?

What's more, Zhou Guilan also said that the dumplings are filled with money, sugar, peanuts and dates.

This time, the children all stared, they had to eat money.

Xu Shiyan didn't have that kind of thought, he just picked up a dumpling nearby and put it in his mouth.

As a result, he bit it down, gritted his teeth, and looked down, okay, it's a two-cent coin.

"Okay, okay, it seems that the third child can still make a fortune this year, okay."

Candies and money are wrapped in the dumplings, originally for the sake of flattery and auspicious meaning.

So as soon as Xu Shiyan paid out the money, Zhou Guilan smiled and said a few good words in succession.

The others also said auspicious words, and then ate their heads, all wanting to eat something.

Xu Shixiang took a bite of the dumpling, feeling something was wrong, it creaked, and saw that there was a peanut in it.

"I'm not eating money, I'm eating peanuts." Regardless of what I'm eating, it's all good anyway, Xu Shixiang is very happy.

"Then you will definitely be admitted to university today, Peanut, you're going to higher education." Xu Shiyan answered over there.

This peanut, which means step by step, is auspicious in itself.

It is not wrong for Xu Shiyan to explain this way, but it is more satisfactory.

Xu Shixiang became happy when he heard it, "Thank you, third brother, with the good words of third brother, I will try again this year."

He was not reconciled to failing last year. Xu Shixiang made up his mind to study for the exam again, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he doesn't care about that now.

He also saved some money from hunting years ago and bought some books. This year, he has to fight to the death and must be admitted to university.

Xu Chenghou didn't say anything when he heard what the fifth son said.

Now he also understands some things. His son has his own ideas when he grows up, and it is impossible for others to listen to him.

He's an old guy, and his thinking can't keep up, so don't worry about it so much, just do whatever you want.
