Chapter 244 Aunt Cui's Son
Chapter 244 Aunt Cui's Son
I can only endure it.
Waves of pain.
It’s much better than before.
So the system guys are pretty awesome.
My period ended on the 12th and I took a day off. On the 14th, the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was Jiang Wen’s mother’s birthday.
Gu Lixia made chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Time passed quickly, it was Sunday the 17th.
Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to chop up the rabbit left at home.
Add flour, add eggs, add seasoning.
Fry in a pan.
Stew in a big pot.
The crispy rabbit meat is ready.
At noon, I ate rabbit meat with kimchi.
There are 8 in total, each weighing about 2 kilograms.
It weighs almost 20 kilograms after being fried.
It just so happens that the Little New Year is coming soon.
Aunt Cui’s two sons came back to visit.
Aunt Cui brought home a large bag of dried seafood, including dried shrimps, dried clams, dried shrimps, and dried squid, almost 20 kilograms.
I guess it was divided up in advance by his eldest son.
The second son brought a piece of mutton, a front leg weighing almost 15 pounds.
Gu Lixia once again became curious about the two networks.
Jiang Wencai said, "Aunt Cui wanted to adopt Xiu'er as her daughter, but poor Xiu'er had no mother. But my father was afraid that Xiu'er would forget my mother, so he didn't hold a wedding banquet. It was just a formality without a name. Plus, the eldest son got along well with the eldest brother, and the third son and I were good friends, so the relationship between the two families naturally improved."
Gu Lixia was glad that there was no wedding banquet, otherwise, she would have a fake mother-in-law.
Afterwards, Jiang Wen went to visit Cui's house.
Gu Lixia checks the children's homework.
It's vacation time, and Jiang Xiu is at home, making her a ready-made little teacher.
Sure enough, everything was quiet.
The effect is good, and I know everything.
Gu Lixia continued to make bowl holders.
I went to Aunt Cui's house to borrow 10 bowls, and finally asked Huainan and Jiang Xiu to deliver the bowls and bowl trays together.
Jiang Wen went to get the photos. There were so many photos of the family compound that everyone gave Jiang Wen the notes.
When they came back, they all gathered around the house to watch, "Oh, it's Huaixi meat."
"My family can't even open their eyes. What a waste of Huaibei's clothes."
"It's the same in our family, one shoulder is higher than the other."
"Ours is the best, straight and neat."
"Our head is this big."
"There's no neck in our house."
"Our family doesn't even show this hand."
"It's the same in our family. We turn a blind eye."
After praising each other, they went their separate ways.
……
In the evening, Aunt Cui came over and invited me to dinner.
Gu Lixia refused.
The Jiang family just lost a child, so it’s not appropriate.
Tuesday was the Little New Year. I went back home at noon and had lunch.
Gu Lixia began to prepare gifts, wrapping the 6 sugar hemp leaves she had saved.
A bag of fried dough twist.
A bowl of Laba porridge.
6 bowl holders.
The two cans of food that Aunt Cui and her family gave me before.
2 fish.
One was carrying a backpack.
A basket.
Went to the food factory staff quarters.
As soon as I entered, I met Aunt Liu from the opposite door who came out to carry water.
They went back together. Aunt Liu carried water and looked at the holiday gifts that Gu Lixia brought.
He praised Gu Lixia again and again and revealed the news, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant. We all heard it. She was holding on to the wall and vomiting all over. However, due to old customs, she has to live in the old house for the first year. She will probably move here in February. But who knows, your sister-in-law may still have to work."
Aunt Liu went back to put down the bucket and went to the Ma family next door. She spent the whole day sewing insoles at the Ma family.
Sure enough, I heard it as soon as I entered Gu's house.
"We have washed the pot and there is nothing to eat." This was Liu Xiaocao's voice.
The group of people remained unmoved and continued to walk inside.
Except for Gu Liqiu who was at work, everyone in the family was sitting on the kang.
Only Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen were standing at the door.
A group of aunts came and Liu Xiaocao went to the fields.
"Oh, it's Lixia who's back, and you said you saw it wrong. Okay, you're not wrong. What is this?"
"can."
"fish."
"Tangmaye, I haven't seen it for many years."
"Mahua."
"Laba porridge."
"Bowl holder."
"Six gifts, heavy gifts, and you don't even pour water for the child? Li Qiu's mother."
Gu Lixia took the bowl and put it in the bowl holder.
Then put Laba porridge.
The two people said nothing.
Unless the aunts ask.
Is the child well-behaved?
How's work?
How are the neighbors?
Then he praised Gu Lixia for gaining weight and said that the Jiang family took good care of her.
Ask Gu Lixia if the pain has subsided.
Gu Lixia nodded.
Let the system scan Gu’s deposits, 3 locations, 229.8.4.
Take away the integer.
220.
When it was time to go to work, I went straight to the factory.
The aunts in the family compound were chatting everywhere.
Talking about the gift that Gu Lixia brought back.
It is said that Liu Xiaocao abused her son-in-law.
When Gu Lixia arrived at the office, she heard her colleagues asking the couple what they were doing with a basket and a backpack.
Gu Lixia talked about sending New Year gifts.
Just lie down.
Others thought that the bride's family disliked the small gift, so they went to ask Jiang Wen.
When Jiang Wen said this, everyone smacked their lips.
This is no small gift.
Twenty-three, the sugar melon is sticky;
Twenty-four, sweep the house;
25. Grind tofu;
Twenty-six, go cut the meat (stew the meat);
Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster (kill the kitchen chicken);
Twenty-eight, hair;
Twenty-nine, steamed buns;
Stay up all night at thirty,
Twist your body on New Year's Day.
On the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, every household has the custom of offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God.
Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God is also known as "saying farewell to the Kitchen God". On this day, many families will hold the custom of "offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God". Sugar melons, also known as "Kitchen God sugar", are an indispensable offering.
According to folklore, on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the Kitchen God will go to the Heavenly Palace to report his work to the Jade Emperor and summarize the good and bad deeds of every household in the past year. On this day, the common people will put sugar melons, rice cakes, fragrant fruits, roast chicken, fish, mixed noodle soup or dumplings in the kitchen, praying that the Kitchen God "speaks good things to the heavens and brings good luck back to the palace."
Why use sugar melon?
Because sugar melon is made from a mixture of malt sugar and yellow rice, it has a very high viscosity. The ancients called it "glue tooth glutinous rice" and used it to strengthen teeth.
This sticky sugar melon is offered as a tribute and used to paint the mouth of the Kitchen God's New Year picture during the Kitchen God farewell ceremony on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. This is meant to invite the Kitchen God to say good things when reporting to the Jade Emperor, and also to stick the Kitchen God's mouth with sugar to prevent him from saying too many mistakes.
However, these activities were carried out in private.
Destroy the Four Olds.
In the evening, Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to prepare the food and prepare to eat hot pot.
First let Jiang Wen light up both stoves and heat them up.
First, put the tomato-flavored hot pot ingredients into the front pot.
Then, onion, garlic, and salt.
Jiang Wen was asked to cut a pound of mutton rolls, and when he came back he took out beef slices, pork slices, chicken pieces, and pig brains from the space in the basket.
Then there are cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, tofu, fish balls, fried dough twists, rice noodles, and hand-rolled noodles at home.
Minced garlic, chopped green onions, light soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and peanuts are used to make the dipping sauce.
Jiang Wen ate there once with Gu Lixia.
This is the second time I have eaten this fresh food.
