Chapter 177 The most solid happiness in the world!
The windows were closed in the inner room, and the kang was burning. The heat hitting her face made Mrs. Wu feel a little uncomfortable, but she did not stop at her feet.

There was a brand new mat spread on the hot bed and a soft quilt. There was a middle-aged man leaning on the quilt, holding a book in his hand, but he fell to the side because of coughing.

This is Mr. Wu who has been sick all year round. He is afraid of cold and wind, so he can only rest.

Mrs. Wu was angry and distressed. She snatched the book and threw it aside, complaining, "Sir, didn't the doctor say that you should close your eyes and rest your mind? Why are you reading secretly again? And the light in the room is so dark, don't you need your eyes?"

Mr. Wu's face was pale, making his originally handsome face even more frail. He covered his mouth with his slender fingers, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

"Ahem," he forced a smile and replied, "I just picked it up, and besides...ahem, I have listened to the doctor's advice for several years, and I am still half-dead now. It's okay if I don't listen to the doctor's advice!"

A flash of pain flashed across Mrs. Wu's eyes, but she said comfortingly, "Nonsense, of course you have to listen to the doctor's orders. And today we got a good fresh ginseng at home, which has already been used in medicine. After you drink it, you will definitely feel better than before." better."

Fresh ginseng?

Mr. Wu frowned and asked, "Have the people who went to the old house in the south to get ginseng come back yet?"

Mrs. Wu regretted mentioning this topic and covered it up vaguely.

It is said that no one can be a filial son before he is sick for a long time. In fact, let alone a filial son, he is not a filial son.

The husband was young and precocious, and was known as a child prodigy. He started reading and passed the national examination until he was only 25 years old. He was praised by countless people and was the pride and hope of the clan.

Unfortunately, he fell ill due to a conspiracy and was bedridden for three years. It was difficult for him to take care of himself, let alone continue his scientific examinations, and he was even critically ill at one point.

Later, my family donated countless amounts of sesame oil money, and then I got advice from an eminent monk. I might be able to save my life by coming to the North.

She was pregnant, accompanied her husband and mother-in-law, and rushed here to settle down.

The husband did save his life, but he still walked without hope.

Gradually, the clan members lost confidence in their husbands, and even the father-in-law put all his hopes in his concubine.

Nowadays, it’s not just a matter of not being able to get ginseng, the money spent on daily supplies is probably going to be cut off in the future…

Mr. Wu was smart enough not to ask any more questions. He slowly lay down and closed his eyes, just for his wife's peace of mind.

After his wife went out, he slowly opened his eyes...

The old man took the children to sell ginseng, and the family was naturally concerned about it.

It’s not that I’m worried that ginseng won’t be sold, after all, everyone likes good stuff.It's true that Yang Lihua and others were afraid that some bad guys would be motivated by money and intercepted them halfway.

Fortunately, the sun just approached the top of the western mountain and the carriage arrived home.

The big black horse whined excitedly, and Sesame Ball galloped out of the yard.

Yang Lihua rushed from the backyard with Chunhong, Liu Dongniang took Erya out of the kitchen, Tai Yongning opened the window, and Tai Jizong helped pull the horse's reins.

The whole family reunited, unloading the truck and carrying the full baskets into the house.

Pork belly, big bones, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, light linen, boxed snacks...

Just seeing that the things they bought greatly exceeded their expectations, Yang Lihua and others knew that their family had become rich again.

But no one asked any more questions. They just asked the old and young to wash up and take a rest.

Zhuzhu held up the chicken leg and gave her second brother a bite first, then went to her mother, aunt and uncle, and even Chunhong and Erya shared a bite.

The last bone was of course given to the sesame ball!A chicken drumstick made the whole family smile. It wasn't because everyone was greedy for meat, but because of the fat girl's concern!
Liu Dongniang picked up the kitchen knife and clinked it to chop the dumpling fillings, thinking about what vegetables to mix with them.

In the end, the old man gave the order generously, "Second daughter-in-law, I will make a bag of meat dumplings today, no need to put vegetables. I am so happy that everyone can eat well. Remember to bring your third uncle a bowl!"

"Hey, I got it, dad!" Liu Dongniang agreed happily, and quickly took out the remaining half of the meat and chopped it into minced meat.

Yang Lihua was scooping out noodles, and after hearing these words, she added an extra bowl.

Spring red is peeling onions, Erya is lighting the fire, and the kitchen is in full swing.

There are eleven people in the family, so making dumplings requires four curtains, but Chunhong and Erya are quick at work, especially Erya, who makes dumplings for the first time and gets started. Fast.

When the sun completely set in the west, water was boiling in the big iron pot.

The white and fat dumplings are like a group of goslings, jumping in and taking a hot bath.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue had forgotten their frustration. They sat in rows at the door with Zhuzhu, looking at the pot and swallowing saliva.

Although life at home is much better than before, I can always eat dumplings once a month.

But today's dumplings are just a bag of meat, with no other side dishes except chopped green onion. Just thinking about it makes people feel happy.

It was rare for Yang Lihua not to chase the children away. Occasionally she would see how greedy they were, and she couldn't help but smile.

When the dumplings were cooked, they were first poured into a large pottery bowl. Tai Jizu used his clothes to block the dust and quickly sent them to Tai Sanye.

Mr. Tai was also having dinner at home, and suddenly there was a big bowl of dumplings. Everyone was surprised.

Tai Sanye ate the first one, and it was so oily that it almost knocked him over!
He moved his chopsticks up and down, and finally gave one to everyone in the family, and then there was only half a bowl of dumplings left...

A table was set up in the main room of the Tai family. Today, the oil lamps were abandoned and candles were lit instead. It was extremely bright.

Platefuls of dumplings were served, making them look whiter, fatter and cuter in the candlelight.

Everyone was reluctant to do anything for a while, watching quietly, filled with happiness.

Glory, wealth, fame and wealth are all too far away. The delicious food in front of you and the family sitting around you are the most practical happiness!
Zhuzhu's mouth was dripping with oil as she ate, and she hissed and breathed in from time to time because of the heat, but she secretly pushed the dumpling wrapper aside with the chopsticks in her hand, trying to hide it quietly.

Tai Yongning ate four or five dumpling wrappers, and then gave the bowl filled with meat fillings to his sister.

Zhuzhu shook her head happily, her big eyes curved into crescent moons, and her two rows of white teeth were as neat as rice grains...

In the kitchen, Chunhong and Erya sat by the pot, each holding a bowl of dumplings without moving their chopsticks for a long time.

Erya couldn't stop her tears and couldn't wipe them away no matter how hard she wiped them away.

"Sister, these are dumplings... Wow, I never dreamed that I could eat dumplings!"

Chunhong also had red circles in her eyes, and whispered to her, "Don't cry, we will eat a lot in the future. As long as we work hard and don't let Grandpa Six and his family down, we won't starve or freeze! Can you do this this time?" Come in, I begged my aunt, she is kind-hearted and not afraid of getting into trouble, but we can't be ungrateful and be the heartless people!"

"I know, eldest sister. I just thought we could have a sip of dumpling soup, wow, I didn't expect we could also eat dumplings..." Erya carefully picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, then started crying again. .

"It's so delicious, wow, it's worth dying for me right now. It's so delicious!"
