Seventy: The vicious female supporting actress struggles daily

Chapter 35

After buying this big fat pig at home, I have an extra 117 yuan in my hand, and of course there is a change.

Back home, Jiang Yan put the whole money in an iron box in a drawer with a lock, and carried it on her body before Lingqian, planning to buy something with gratitude at ordinary times, and the money will also be saved, and will be supplied when the time comes Brothers and sisters should not spend their studies casually.

In the countryside, as long as they are diligent and thrifty, they have three or forty yuan a year, and their three siblings are enough.

What I usually eat is from the field, and the vegetables are grown by myself. I just need to buy some daily seasonings with money. As for clothes, sometimes it is not necessary to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year, let alone the usual ones. It's time.

And this is on the premise of not eating meat.

There are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year, and the things at home are all ready now. In fact, all the things for the Chinese New Year are sent by He Xun. I can't buy so many New Year's goods.

This year's gift from He Xun contained several pieces of fabric, one piece of peach red, one piece of light yellow, and one piece of water blue, which were obviously for the three of them to make clothes.

Nowadays, there are no ready-made clothing stores in the county, and they have to make clothes by themselves, and they have a sewing machine at home, which was used by Jiang's mother before.

Mother Jiang is a very capable woman, whether it is cooking and cleaning the house, or going to the fields and making clothes, she is a well-known expert in the village.

Jiang Yu doesn't know how to make clothes, but Jiang Yan does very well.

So for the rest of the time, she thought about making new clothes for the three of her family for the New Year.

In fact, she wants to save these pieces of cloth first, and wait for two years to talk about it. Now her younger siblings are still at the age of growing up. Jiang Yu can say that Jiang Chuan probably needs to change it after wearing it for a year, but his parents will pass away soon. It has been a year, and the three of them have finally come out of their grief, and it coincides with the second Spring Festival when their parents passed away. Last year, the three of them did not have a good time. This year will definitely be lively, and I hope that the parents in the underground will see their third sister Brother's current situation, you can rest assured.

Even if they are gone, she can take good care of her siblings.

Before the new year, Jiang Yan greeted her younger siblings after breakfast early in the morning on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

"I'm going to wash the clothes at home while the sun is warm today. Can you two clean inside and out?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yu and Jiang Chuan nodded.

There are not many dirty clothes at home, mainly because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Jiang Yan has to wash the padded jacket that he will wear during the New Year. The winter is cold and cold, and they often snow in winter. It will take three or four days to dry after washing out in good weather.

The cotton-padded jacket was very thick, and it was extremely heavy after being soaked. Jiang Yu was young and lacked strength. She couldn't wash it alone, and Jiang Yan was reluctant to let her sister do the laundry in winter.

There are six houses in the Jiang family, including four earth kangs. One of the earth kangs is a small compartment. It used to be the room where Jiang Chuan slept. After the old man passed away, Jiang Han and his wife moved to the master bedroom where the old man slept. It was vacated, and now the master bedroom is where Jiang Yan sisters sleep, and two earth kangs were vacated. Futons, etc. placed at home.

There is not a lot of furniture in the house, so it is not difficult to clean it. Jiang Yu is an independent and planning person. She rearranged many objects in the most accessible way, and then used a feather duster to dust off the roof. Dust was dusted off, and finally, the two younger brothers began to carefully wipe the front and rear windows of the house. After tidying up, the whole house became bright and clean, and it was comfortable to look at.

After that, Jiang Yan helped Jiang Yan wring out the washed cotton-padded jacket and dry it on the clothesline in the courtyard.

On the night of Xiaonian, they had a meal of dumplings at home, and of course they sent two baskets of dumplings and two firecrackers to the five teachers at the hut.

These firecrackers were all bought in the commune, and the people organized by the commune captain Jiang Changhai went to the county to buy the goods, and then distributed them to the villagers according to their needs. This is not free, it needs to be bought with money, but Jiang Changhai did not make money The price difference, there is this rule in the village every year, in order to save the people in the village from making a trip, after all, it costs money to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town by car, so he only needs to borrow a tractor from the neighboring village and go directly to the village. It was pulled back after one trip, and every time the firecrackers were hung up for a penny or two, the rest was the hard work and diesel expenses for others.

When the dumplings were on the table, Jiang Chuan lit a stick of incense and looked at the eldest sister excitedly and expectantly, "Do you want to let it go?"

Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing, went to the next room to get a hanging firecracker, went to the yard with Jiang Chuan, hung the firecracker on the clothesline, "Go and light it."

Jiang Chuan went up, squatted down, put the incense in his hand up, and sparked with the fuze, he turned around and ran into the kitchen.

As soon as the kitchen door was closed, the firecrackers in the yard crackled and roared, the shaking windows were buzzing, and the yard suddenly burst into flames.

Jiang Yu was lying on the kang, looking out through the window, with a joyful smile on her face.

It seems that it has been a long time. In the previous life, the taste of the New Year has become weaker and weaker, and the joy of the Spring Festival can hardly be felt.

Eating a reunion dinner numbly every year, numbly listening to the parents and four elderly people sitting and chatting together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, numbly visiting relatives, attending class reunions and dealing with various dinners, seems to be just a passing scene.

But now, listening to the sound of firecrackers that are far and near, one after another, Jiang Chuan’s excited laughter in the kitchen next door, the dark night sky in the distance, the occasional twinkling stars above his head, and the warm temperature of the kang, As well as the steaming dumplings just out of the pan on the dining table in front of you, the taste of the New Year is lingering in front of your eyes.

"Second sister, eat dumplings." After the firecrackers were set off, Jiang Chuan ran in, kicked off his shoes and jumped onto the kang, calling the two sisters to eat.

Jiang Yan poured some soy sauce and vinegar into their bowls, and added two drops of sesame oil, and stirred them, "Xiao Nian's dumplings, eat quickly."

Roll the dumplings in the prepared sauce and put them in your mouth. The refreshing Chinese cabbage and the aroma of lean meat, together with the taste of the sauce, made Jiang Yu's stomach instantly warmed by the taste of the dumplings.

Simply using soy sauce and vinegar will be a little salty, but adding two drops of sesame oil will neutralize the salty taste and make it more delicious. Some people like to use dumplings with garlic, but the garlic grown in the open air at home in the countryside, One side is very spicy, so there is no problem with cooking, but Jiang Yu can't handle it simply eating like this.

I ate dumplings with garlic once before, and it turned out to be so spicy that my heart was on fire.

Or the taste of this sauce is more suitable for her taste.

　Another year goes by so fast.
