Chapter 287 Winter Solstice Dumplings

On the day of the winter solstice, Jiang Lu and Zhou Chunhe took Zhou Tian and Zhou Yun back to Wangjiaba Village. If they didn't go back, they would be read by Mrs. Zhou for a long time.On this day, every family in Wangjiaba Village eats dumplings, and if there are children in the family, they have to coax the children to eat more for good luck.

In the past, life was tight. The dumpling skins were not pure white flour, mixed with coarse grains, and the dumpling fillings were not pure meat, and a lot of wild vegetables were always mixed in. In the morning, I began to look forward to the dumplings in the evening.But now, with white flour skin and pure meat stuffing, the children don't enjoy it so much.

Especially Zhou Tian of the old Zhou's family yelled that he didn't like to eat dumplings and said he wanted to eat glutinous rice balls.

Mrs. Zhou coaxed and begged him to eat more, so as not to freeze his ears.

Jiang Lu didn't believe such a statement, but she couldn't tolerate Zhou Tian's unreasonable temper, so she told him to eat if he could eat, and starve if he couldn't eat, and there would be no snacks at night.

Zhou Tian was really stiff, and he straightened his neck: "I won't eat."

"Then you will be hungry, and you are not allowed to eat anything at night." Jiang Lu said.

"Hmph, if you don't eat, don't eat." Zhou Tian has never experienced what it means to be extremely hungry. In his opinion, what's the big deal about being hungry, can it scare him?Impossible.

Jiang Lu told her mother-in-law and Zhou Chunhe not to give Zhou Tian anything to eat.

Zhou Chunhe raised his hands in agreement, and went out to find someone to play with after eating.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, she wished her eyes would grow on her eldest grandson, so that he would be given food as soon as possible when he was hungry.

As this person gets old, his heart softens. Thinking back, Mrs. Zhou was such a sturdy person, not to mention starving. Zhou Chunhe was often hungry and cold when he was a child.

Jiang Lu saw what the old lady was thinking, and said again, "Mother, if you spoil him now, you are harming him. We have to unite in educating our children, otherwise it will never work."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Mrs. Zhou agreed, but she didn't know if she could do it.

But Jiang Lu saw Zhou Tian going out to play, so he took Duo Duo for a walk too.

In the past few years, many new houses have been added to Wangjiaba Village. Although they do not have the style of the old Zhou's bungalows, the traces of the alternation of old and new are very obvious.

When she walked to Lin Wenshu's house, she realized that the house had completely collapsed, and there was a big hole in the middle. The trees growing inside had already exceeded the roof and spread towards the sky.

Duo Duo was going to pick the unknown little flower, Jiang Lu watched her wobble past.

"You girl can already walk." The old village chief Wang Youliang came over to greet her, smoking a dry cigarette.

Jiang Lu hurriedly replied, "Village Chief."

"It's still the village head. That's the old Huangli from so many years ago." Wang Youhao didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but he wanted to have a chat.

"I've been the village head for many years, and that won't change." Jiang Lu smiled.

When Wang Youliang heard this, he was a little moved. It has been a long time since no one praised him like this.

"How about coming back for the holidays?"

"Yes, come back for the holidays." Jiang Lu looked at her daughter while talking.

"I heard that you have opened a big supermarket in the city?"

"It's from Chunhe. Uncle, if you have time to go to the city, go and have a look." Jiang Lu smiled.

"I want to take a look and see how talented people like you make money, how can you make so much money?" Wang Youliang couldn't figure it out, not at all.

"I heard that Ziqiang has also opened a brick factory, which is pretty good." Jiang Lu remembered this.

The old village head waved his hand, "Don't mention it, it's a loss."

"Sorry, what's going on?"

"The kiln master hired was unreliable. The bricks in several kilns were burnt out, but he ran away. My family owed a lot of debt to Ziqiang."

Jiang Lu sighed for a while. When she heard Zhou Chunhe say this last time, she was quite relieved for Wang Ziqiang. She was not alone. He pulls bricks, fearing that his life will be bad, and based on this, she also hopes that his life can be improved.

Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't speak, Wang Youliang asked again, "I heard that you want to set up a factory?"

"It's a garment factory, but it's just under construction."

"Oh, that's what we have to do. Is your factory hiring people?"

"Helpful."

"Can my girl go in?"

"Can she step on a sewing machine? Has she ever made clothes?"

"I don't know if the clothes have been made, but the sewing machine can be stepped on. Her dowry is a sewing machine, and I bought it for her."

"That's all right, then you let her come to me."

"It's really possible?" The old man couldn't believe it was so easy.

"Of course, she will have to try to know if she can do the habit." Jiang Lu smiled.

"Then don't worry, I am a woman who can endure hardships, and I will definitely be able to resist."

Jiang Lu just smiled, unable to explain that this habit and suffering are actually two different things.

With Jiang Lu's promise, Wang Youliang left very relieved, and even hummed a song when he left. Jiang Lu suddenly remembered how he was when he first met the village head. At that time, he was proud, loud, Prestige and respected, he is now an ordinary old man, with a hunchback, gray hair, a softer voice, and a gentler person.

Jiang Lu didn't know whether such a change was good or bad, but she did feel in her heart that she would not care about the past, no matter whether it was good or bad, and she also let go of the old village chief's previous treatment .

He was just an ordinary old man who couldn't be more ordinary now, and Jiang Lu even felt that he had to help him.

Where did Zhou Chunhe go? Instead of looking for the second master, he went to Suozi Village first, looking for Jiang Jiafu.

Jiang Jiafu was unlucky at home this winter solstice. First, he made a few dumplings with great difficulty. Before he could put them in the pot, he was pushed by his own dog. The dumplings almost lost their shape. He couldn't find the lid of the pot again. In desperation, he took his straw hat and put it on as a lid.The straw hat has accumulated a lot of Jiang Jiafu's hair oil over the years, so it saves oil.

When the dumplings came out of the pan, the stuffing was exposed, but fortunately there was still some dumpling smell, Jiang Jiafu scooped them into a bowl, squatted on the threshold to eat with a head of pickled garlic.

When Zhou Chunhe arrived, he was scooping up dumplings in a bowl.

"Have you drank shabu-shabu?" Zhou Chunhe asked in surprise.

"What kind of shabu-shabu, this is the dumpling for the winter solstice, don't know, don't talk nonsense, it's not for you." Jiang Jiafu said unconvinced.

Zhou Chunhe quickly waved his hands, "You're welcome, just eat by yourself."

　For some reason, every time I write about Jiang Jiafu, I finish it in one go, and if I write with spirit, I would have known that he would be the main character.
