Chapter 215 Making Zongzi for the Festival

Bai Meixi waved her hand, "You go and play next to me and let me lie down for a while. I'm really tired today." After taking two sips of spring water, she looked up at the sky.The sunshine here is so comfortable, coupled with the fragrance of bamboo, it is comfortable and comfortable.

Bai Meixi filled some spring water into a kettle and came out of the space.I drank some spring water in space just now. My body has become much more relaxed and my stomach that was not full has been filled up.Although I have been busy doing things recently, my body is not too tired, much better than when I was in the copper mine.

The last day of May finally ushered in the Dragon Boat Festival, and the family was very busy.The men only work for half a day today and will be back for the festival at noon.

Bai Meixi took out the soaked rice dumpling leaves and glutinous rice early in the morning. "Such a big basin of glutinous rice. I didn't expect so much to come out of it." The sister-in-law looked at the big basin in surprise.

During the past festivals, each person in the family would eat one rice dumpling, and one egg would be enough.But this year for the holidays, Bai Meixi bought so many things, and they were very rich.

Dabao and Daniu were already playing in the yard. They watched Bai Meixi bring out a large basin of glutinous rice and ran over to help.The big girl gestured, and Bai Meixi shook her head, "You can go and play over there. We adults can take care of things here."

This child actually wanted to help her move things. Looking at the second sister-in-law in the distance, she seemed to be avoiding something terrible, for fear that she would come over to help with hard work.

"There are rice dumplings to eat. If there are rice dumplings to eat, third aunt, what did you buy?"

Dabao is very curious about what else is available for the festival this year.When he saw Bai Meixi taking out a lot of eggs, he pouted. Although the eggs were delicious, he really couldn't finish them all with so many eggs.

Cheng's mother couldn't help laughing when she saw Dabao's look, "You, these eggs are for the whole family, not just for you."

The second sister-in-law was sewing clothes from a distance. It seemed that since she came to this house, every time she saw the second sister-in-law doing other work besides cooking, she was sewing clothes.Still sitting in the same position, still making the same movements.

He is not in the mood to argue with her now. Bai Meixi still remembers the fact that she was given a cold meal that day.But this was her first holiday in this world, and Bai Meixi didn't want anyone to ruin this beautiful mood.

The soaked jujubes and cut marinated meat were placed beside it.Adult mother was already sitting there with a small stool, "What is this meat for?"

Bai Meixi bought a lot of meat and said it would be cooked during the Dragon Boat Festival, but there was no need for meat pieces when making rice dumplings.

"This meat is used to make rice dumplings. Meat rice dumplings are more delicious than jujube rice dumplings."

Bai Meixi's mouth watered when she thought about the meat rice dumplings.We also prepared big red dates and put them in. There are sweet rice dumplings and salty rice dumplings, so everyone can have whatever flavor they want.

"This is the first time I've heard of meat rice dumplings. I didn't expect you to be quite good at eating them." Cheng's mother didn't mean to blame her at all. It was a rare opportunity to eat something good, and Cheng's mother was willing to make the whole family happy. , only a few times a year.

The sister-in-law also sat next to her with a bench, stretched out her hands and started making rice dumplings.The second sister-in-law looked at the small pot of meat from a distance and said, "The meat bought at such an expensive price is not enough to stew, but you even used so much to make rice dumplings. I really don't know how your family used to do it." To get by.”

The implication of the second sister-in-law was that Bai Meixi didn't know how to live, but Bai Meixi didn't think she had done anything wrong.She eats it no matter how she eats it, she just wraps the meat in the rice dumpling.The elder sister-in-law touched Bai Meixi with her hand and said, "Don't fuss with her. Your second sister-in-law is just that kind of person." After saying this, the second sister-in-law didn't care how many people were sewing over there, and she was talking and laughing while being sulky.

The project of making rice dumplings was just finished at noon. Cheng Haiwen was in a good mood today and came out to help them work.Bai Meixi asked him to fill the pot with water first and make rice dumplings later.

Cheng Haiwen nodded with a smile and said that he would definitely be able to complete the task.When Cheng's mother saw Lao Wu so happy, she felt a lot happier.

Lao Wu has changed a lot recently and is much more cheerful than before. This is all attributed to Bai Meixi.If she hadn't asked Lao Wu to relieve the pain of broken love by writing novels, she wouldn't have been able to get him out of the shadows so quickly.

No matter how the novel is written, as long as the child is safe and healthy, it will be fine. "It's Lao Wu who has the ability. That incident is over and no one will mention it anymore. We will definitely meet someone better in the future."

Cheng's mother nodded, "Yes, we will be fine, and we will meet an excellent daughter-in-law like you in the future."

The adult mother is already very happy to have Bai Meixi as a daughter-in-law at home.The eldest daughter-in-law is diligent and conscientious. Except for the eldest son and her daughter, who are not very economical, the family is very harmonious.

The men have finished work and are returning home one after another.The happiest people should be the men who have married.Cheng's father was the first to walk into the yard. He looked at the large pot full of rice dumplings, his beard trembled, and he felt happy in his heart.

The eldest brother walked directly to his wife and said, "Oh, I made so many rice dumplings today, we can eat them to our heart's content."

The eldest brother rolled up his sleeves and wanted to wrap it with them, but the eldest sister-in-law waved her hand and said, "Go and wash it quickly. Your fingers are so thick that you will prick the rice dumpling leaves."

The big girl didn’t know what they were saying, but she was happy to see so many things.Dabao, who was standing next to him, was made to laugh by his aunt, "Auntie said that uncle would prick the zongzi leaves. Look at your big thick fingers, you will prick the zongzi leaves."

After saying that, the other adults also laughed.Having finished wrapping, Bai Meixi planned to pick up the basin containing the rice dumplings, but she didn't pick it up at once, probably because it was too heavy.

The second brother wanted to go over to help, but was called back by the second sister-in-law, "What are you doing? I've finished sewing the clothes here, please help me fold them."

For a man to do such a thing, the second sister-in-law can really say it.Bai Meixi knew that she just wanted the men in her family to do less.She didn't ask her second brother for help, it was just that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Seeing this, the sister-in-law hurriedly poked her brother and said, "Let your brother carry it. This thing is too heavy. You can go inside and wait."

"Thank you, brother. I didn't expect this pot of rice dumplings to be so heavy." Bai Meixi went inside the house and saw that Cheng Haiwen had prepared firewood and other things, and then put the rice dumplings in.
