Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 35 Preparing for the Year
"Little lily, it grows in the south..."

Ever since the fifth aunt's house booked a movie that day, Li Shaoyun could not often hear someone humming and singing these few lines.

Otherwise, it will always be: "Hey!", "Ha!" and self-dubbed effects, and a few movements in the hand.

"Black tiger digs its heart!"

"Vajra Palm!"

These are usually boys.

It can be seen that the movie is popular.

From the elderly to the children, regardless of gender, they talked about it for days.

The people in the village are proud of what they say, especially in front of people from other villages, it seems that this movie is the same as the one they booked. -_-||
This reminded her of the "Shrimp Love Fish Power Leveling" a while ago.

Speaking of which, watching the movie that night really blinded her mind.

I was afraid that the whole family would not be able to sit down, so I deliberately moved two stools when occupying the seats.As a result, until the end of the movie, Li's father and Li's mother were not found.

When the movie was over, the brothers and sisters had to go home with the bench on their shoulders.

This made Li Shaoyun rush to waste his enthusiasm in vain.

When I got home, I regretted having a chat with Dad Li, regretting that I couldn't feel the excitement of a family occupying a stool.

Father Li said that they came late, so he simply stood on the outside and didn't squeeze in.There are too many people, and the drying field can hardly stand!
But for Li Shaoyun, it is good to get together and watch movies in the open air, it has the atmosphere, but unfortunately it is too cold!

I didn't feel it when I was really excited, but in the end I felt that my feet were going to be frozen!Even if you wear cotton-wool (cotton shoes) on your feet, it doesn't matter.

Watching outdoor movies in winter is really not a good idea.

Next, there were a few weddings in the village, but no one booked a movie any more.After all, not every family has the spirit of the Fifth Aunt's family.

Although Li Shaoyun was a bit pity, he didn't care that much.

To say that this open-air movie looks better in summer, but one thing is bad, there are too many mosquitoes outside in summer!
So nothing can be perfect!The best seasons should be spring and autumn, neither hot nor cold!It's a pity that no one held a wedding at that time!

She still knew the next day that when Dad Li and the others came back, they brought back the leftover baskets from the seats.

This kind of dish is actually a miscellaneous dish. Generally, people who do business will end up bringing a bowl or two of the leftover dishes from the banquet to the helpers.

Usually hard dishes, such as steamed meat and smooth meat.

If you are close, the food you bring will be better.Sometimes the host will leave some unserved dishes for those who care about them.

The ones that are a little farther away are all kinds of leftovers mixed together.

This kind of dish is also something that no one would dislike. After all, life has just started to improve, and I am used to frugality.

What Dad Li brought back obviously belonged to the former type.

Thinking about it, I can understand that my family is also the fifth aunt's family who did not produce the fifth clothes. I went to two people to help that day, and I even helped pick up the bride!

If he brought that kind of miscellaneous vegetables, Li Shaoyun felt that he would not eat them!

Even this year's miscellaneous dishes are good, she would rather not eat than eat other people's leftovers.

To say that every year in the twelfth lunar month is the peak of marrying daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law in rural areas, which seems to be the same as the Spring Festival travel rush for future generations!
I don't know what it means, anyway, she has heard the crackling of firecrackers in the village several times, and her own stools are often borrowed.

Basically, their family also followed the crowd to remember the etiquette and do favors.

The Li family today, the Wang family tomorrow, and the Zhang family later.It's quite lively every day.

When I asked Mama Li why she was rushing to get married at this point years ago, Mama Li replied to her, but when is the right time?
Li Shaoyun thinks so too, usually he either goes to the field or goes to the field, and he is very busy when spring begins.

The local area grows two crops a year, and it is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and during the winter slack, every family has a free time, so why don’t they get together for marriage or something!
In addition, it is not impossible to do things in other seasons except winter, but it is impossible to buy food, there will always be leftovers, and if the weather is hot, it will go bad overnight. Isn't that a waste of things!

So at this moment, there are many wedding banquets in the village, and Li Shaoyun took Li Er to go there several times, and Li's parents and mothers were too busy to attend to them.

Those who are more friendly, get a few dollars more, and those who are not so friendly, just follow the crowd, and they get a few dollars.

Sometimes several houses held weddings at the same time, but grandma and grandma shied away, but they went there once or twice, the two of them always didn't like to join in the fun.In addition, people are old and their teeth are bad. Although the banquet is good, many things are always difficult for the two of them to eat, so it is not as comfortable as eating home-cooked meals.It's also crazy, there are so many brides-in-law and daughter-in-laws in the village this year!
It's just that Li Shaoyun never had the chance to be a family picker again. It's a little regretful to say it!

why?Naturally, you can be a guest and eat good food, hehe.

But now it's the end of the year, and the villagers are busy with weddings and preparations for the new year, and the atmosphere suddenly rises!

In addition, there are happy events in the village every three days, and some children pick up the firecrackers that have not been set off, and put them in their little pockets very cherished, and put one from time to time.

It doesn't matter if you are far away, but when you get close, you can hear a "pop" suddenly, which can make people shiver.

When encountering such a thing, Li Shaoyun could only roll his eyes and curse inwardly.

Li's father and Li's mother continued to be busy in the town after the wedding banquet at the fifth aunt's house, and took time to buy new year's goods.

Li Shaoyun just watched the things in the house increase day by day.

There are actually a lot of dishes at the moment.Lotus root, red and white radish, celery, potato, cauliflower, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, whatever can be grown locally.

The meat is naturally pork, and it is bought directly in the village. It is fresh if you know the basics and don’t worry about it.Speaking of which, Li Shaoyun was thinking about the two fat pigs at home, and he never slaughtered them.

According to what Li Ma and Li Pa said, wait for the new year to kill.Li Shaoyun is a bit regretful that he won't be able to eat for the time being!

Locals are accustomed to slaughtering pigs and selling meat with bones and meat, except for pig heads, pig feet, pig tails, and pig offal, which are not divided in detail like in later generations of supermarkets. Pork belly and ribs are sold separately.

Beef and mutton are also available locally, which is very rare.They are generally not available in towns, so if you want to eat them, you can only go to the big market in the county to buy them.

After offering sacrifices to the stove and cleaning up, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year.

A few days ago, Mama Li took the time to make Jiuniang. It happened that the family had to steam steamed buns for sale every day. The stove was always warm, so it was easy to make Jiuniang.

Li Shaoyun also took the time to smell it, not to mention, Mama Li's craftsmanship is good, and the wine is sweet and fragrant.

As for Li Shaoyun, who doesn't like this stuff very much, he is a bit greedy.

It is said that where she lived in her previous life, there was no custom of eating wine.

She had seen it sold in supermarkets, and bought it a few times out of curiosity, but she might not be used to eating it since she was a child, and she didn't know how to eat it. When she got home, she would just heat it up and drink it, or mix it with water, and the taste would be the same.

I didn't expect to see the fermented rice made by Li Ma, it was really different from what I used to eat.

In addition to this, Li Ma also made fermented bean curd.

Li Shaoyun thinks this seems to be quite simple: cut the old tofu into small squares, put it in the barn to let it ferment, wait for the white hair to become sticky, and then roll each piece in white wine, roll it on Seasonings, chili powder, and put them in a clean container, and it's done!Qing waited for a while to eat!

Li Shaoyun watched on the sidelines the whole time, thinking that this thing is quite simple!

Try it yourself tomorrow?

Of course, there is no chance for her to try this year, and she also knows that many things are easy to look at, but not easy to do.

Especially this food.The same steps, others may make it a different taste.

Even, each person has his own taste.Some are delicious, some are mediocre, and some people can't even eat it, it's very fantasy.
