fisherwoman

When Lin Xueman returned home, she also started kneading noodles and preparing to make dumplings. She remembered that there were a few Spanish mackerel in the basket of fish that Xiao Chengyu brought back, so she took out two, removed the bones of the fish, and removed the fish meat from the skin. Scrape it off, chop it into a puree, and prepare to mix it with the meat, and make Spanish mackerel dumplings for eating.

Looking at the prepared dumpling filling, I think it is too monotonous. It is best to have chives in mackerel dumplings, otherwise it will not be very delicious, but it is winter and there are no greenhouse vegetables, so naturally there will be no leeks.

Reluctantly, she walked around the yard, and finally found a low layer of green vegetables beside the haystack. Looking carefully, it turned out to be shepherd's purse, covered by some withered grass, and there were a few tender leaves. There are more than a dozen trees in size, as if they are waiting for her to pick them.

Unexpectedly, there would be shepherd's purse at this time. Lin Xueman excitedly picked it and took it home, washed it, blanched it in boiling water, drained it, chopped it and put it in the stuffing, put chopped green onion in oil and salt, all right, mackerel The fish dumpling stuffing is done!

"It's ready so soon? I'll help you." Xiao Chengyu stepped in and was a little surprised to see that she had already started rolling the skin. The second younger sister helped, and she just started to sit down and pack.

"You will?" She raised her head and glanced at him. For the past two days, Xiao Chengyu was at home, and the two of them got to know each other a little better, and they were no longer so reserved with each other.

"Of course." He washed his hands, sat down opposite her, and began to roll out the dough, looking very skilled.

Lin Xueman was a little surprised. The Xiao family had many men and many women. I really don't know when he learned to do these housework.

"What kind of stuffing is this?" He looked at the green dumpling stuffing in the basin and asked.

"The mackerel and the meat, the green inside is shepherd's purse. I found these in the yard, and these are the only ones. It's good for seasoning."

"You really know how to eat." He chuckled and glanced at her. Her face with light make-up was much more charming than usual, and with the brand new red dress on her body, she looked even more charming. When you take a closer look, It's not like the sad-faced married woman back then.

"That's right, food is also one of the great joys of life. People who don't know how to eat don't know how to live." Lin Xueman smiled and raised her head, just in time to meet his gaze, blushing, then lowered her head again Continue to wrap the dumplings in your hand.

He also hurriedly looked away, rolling the dumpling wrappers in his hands.

After the two finished making dumplings, it was already dark, and there were dense firecrackers and cheers outside, and someone shouted, it was the New Year.

At this time, crackling firecrackers sounded from the old house.

Xiao Chengyu also took firecrackers, went out, hung them at the door, lit them, and there was a deafening sound.

Lin Xueman added water to the pot and prepared to make dumplings. Xiao Chengyu hurriedly carried firewood, walked in, and sat in the stove to light the fire for her. The two cooperated very well.

After a while, the dumplings were cooked. Lin Xueman picked up the first bowl and asked Xiao Chengyu to send it to the old house for her father-in-law and mother-in-law to taste. When parents try it, they will keep it in their hearts, so as not to lose their etiquette.

Unexpectedly, this woman knew these etiquettes. Xiao Chengyu smiled, took the bowl, and went to the old house. Lin Xueman pounded some garlic paste, poured some vinegar, prepared the dipping sauce, and waited for him.

When Xiao Chengyu came back, he even brought back some bacon in the bowl. It is also a custom not to empty the bowl back and forth.

According to Yang's instructions, Xiao Chengyu offered another bowl of dumplings by the side of the pot, put chopsticks on them, and incensed them. The two of them sat down here again and started eating dumplings.

The dumplings were made very successfully. When you bite open, you can see the green shepherd's purse and the creamy fish and pork. It tastes both the fragrance of wild vegetables and the deliciousness of fish. When dipped in some garlic sauce, the two of them ate deliciously and savoryly.

"Unexpectedly, fish and meat can also make dumplings." Xiao Chengyu nodded, with a rare happy smile on his face.

"If it is served with leeks, it will be even more fragrant." Lin Xueman felt that this shepherd's purse was not as tasty as leeks. In her previous life, she had eaten mackerel and leek stuffing countless times, and it was much more delicious than this.

But Xiao Chengyu ate happily, and kept saying that shepherd's purse is very good.

Who said that to tie up a man is to tie up his stomach first, has he already tied up his stomach?

Seeing him eating with gusto, she began to think wildly again, this, maybe this is the gentle side of this man?

After dinner, Xiao Chengyu went to the old house. He wanted to pay New Year's greetings to his parents, and he also went to the homes of his two elder brothers.

According to the custom, daughters-in-law don't go out at night, and they have to wait until the morning of the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings to their parents-in-law. After Xiao Chengyu left, Lin Xueman cleaned up the dishes and washed up before leaning on the bed and resting.

Busy day!

New Year's Eve!Looking at the dark night outside the window, Lin Xueman suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness. In this strange world, there was no one to talk to herself, and no craft to support her.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt sour in her heart. The time and space in her previous life is now autumn. What is her father doing at this time?Are you still grieving alone for the loss of your daughter?

The room was a bit cold, she stretched out the quilt, lay down in the bed, felt a pain in her stomach, and then her body was sticky, she was startled, is it menstruation?

She got up quickly, took out the shorts and cotton cloth that she had prepared in advance, handled them quickly, and took out a piece of red cloth, spread it on the bed, and then lay down on it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had prepared in advance, but May not be too much!

After a while, the door rang, and Xiao Chengyu, who had gone out to pay New Year's greetings, came back. Seeing that she had already gone to bed, he also washed up and went to bed after him.

"Are you asleep?" He asked suddenly in the dark night.

"No." She turned over and turned to look at him. It seemed that they hadn't talked on the bed yet, they just lay down and fell asleep, and then slept until dawn.

"What are you thinking? Homesick?" His voice sounded a little cold in the dark night.

"I don't have a home, what do I want?"

"I know you have been with your uncle all these years, but since your father is still alive, why doesn't he come to see you?"

"I don't know either. A few days ago, I heard that my father had already married a wife and had children outside. I'm afraid he won't remember me for a while!" She sighed softly and replied quietly.

"Then you don't plan to go back to your uncle's house during the first month?"

"I won't go back. On the day I got married, I told them that we will settle the relationship from now on, and we will never see each other again."

"Oh, you don't even stay behind. If I insist on not acknowledging this marriage, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, let's take one step at a time!"

"You are so stupid, you married when someone asked you to marry?" He chuckled lightly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

"Then what else can I do? I can't run away!"

"Well, it sounds pretty miserable. In your eyes, I, Xiao Chengyu, am a pit of fire. You were forced to jump out of it."

"It can be said that you are not a fire pit? You ask yourself, these days, are you treating me well?" When it comes to this, it is better to say it outright.

"Where am I like a fire pit?" He suddenly turned over and faced her, "Everything happens for a reason, and I didn't mean to embarrass you."

In the dark night, no one could see anyone, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

"Even if things happen for a reason, if you have a little pity in your heart, you shouldn't treat me like that. I have been forced to help many things, because I have lived in a family since I was a child, and I am always used to forbearance in everything. I don't have the love of my parents, nor Who can I rely on, so I can't be as confident as my big sister, because I don't know where I will be tomorrow?" Lin Xueman suddenly choked up, the feeling of loneliness struck again, and her heart was as cold as ice.

Xiao Chengyu listened quietly, without saying a word for a long time. After a while of silence, he said softly: "So when you encounter problems, you always think of the simplest and most direct solution. In fact, you are avoiding and don't want to face those disputes. , because you have no confidence?"

"In this family, I can't get your approval, do you think I will have confidence?"

"I see, as long as you are willing to live with me, I will never let you suffer any more in the future, and you don't have to suppress yourself. I know you have a sense of proportion and will not act unreasonably like others, so you want to say Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it, I may not be able to give you glory and wealth, but I am sure I can give you the confidence!"

Lin Xueman was moved for a moment, never thought that this man had such a tender side, never thought, oh, never thought....

Looking at her slender figure, he suddenly had an urge to hold her in his arms, but he still held back, just patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "Don't be sad, go to sleep! It's Chinese New Year today Woolen cloth!"

"Well, go to sleep!" She shyly wiped away her tears.
