Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 135 A Letter From Home (3)
Winter in Yingchuan is not considered cold, and the mountains are still green, but with the mountains at the back, there is fog in the morning and evening, and the humidity is relatively high. There is a place to boil water in the yard, so it is convenient to drink tea and ginger soup.

The Mo family's yard is big, and grandparents like to be lively, so they don't want to separate the family members. Moreover, Mo Qingyun is the only grandson who has reached the age of marriage, and Mo Qingshuang is still young.

"Yanyan, I heard that my sister-in-law likes flowers and plants. I'm thinking about planting some in the yard, and it will bloom in two months."

There is a special vegetable field at home, and there is no need to grow vegetables. The front of the house is empty, and it looks uncomfortable. Mo Yu thought that if he had time, he would go to the town to buy some flower seeds, and then plant flowers and plants. I can do something.

"Okay, I think it's okay. It would be good to dig a small pond in front, pave it with green bricks, and raise a few koi."

Mo Yan helped to come up with an idea, the future sister-in-law Zhu's family is in the town, and the Zhu family is well-off, and Zhu's family used to have a maid to serve her, but this time she married into the Mo family, and heard that no one in the family is serving her, and she is self-sufficient. She thinks it shouldn't be Bring a maid over here, otherwise her parents and grandparents don't have a maid, but she brought one, which is too ignorant.

"Yanyan, you're really good at it. Only big families in Kyoto raise koi, right?"

The family is a peasant family, why should it be arty?But Mo Yu thought it might be a hobby, and when she was bored, she could also bring snacks to feed the fish.

"Yan Yan is such a good idea!"

A tall, strong, dark-skinned man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked into the courtyard, heard the sisters' conversation, and gave Mo Yan a thumbs up.His fiancee's family lives in the county, and her habits may be different from those in the countryside. This time, she decided not to bring a maid. Mo Qingyun was very happy that she thought of her family.And he spends half a year as a dart, so he will definitely neglect his wife.

"Brother, tomorrow is August [-]th, why did you come back!"

Mo Yu curled her lips and complained, but she had a smile on her face and her eyes sparkled, "What good things did you bring this time? Is there anything delicious?"

"You are all big girls, you know how to eat, and you are afraid that Yan Yan will laugh at you."

Mo Qingyun is a mighty man with strong muscles and a serious face. When he saw Mo Yu, he smiled a little, "I was going to come back tomorrow, but I heard that Yan Yan and Second Aunt came from the capital, so I rushed tonight." road."

"Cousin, go and rest first, I'm still waiting for you to take me to the mountain."

Mo Qingyun looked like a traveler, with a faint tiredness on his face. When Mo Yu heard that he was rushing back, he hurriedly arranged for food and asked him to pad his stomach first, and then have a good sleep. There is still time before dinner next afternoon. More than an hour.

"That's fine."

Everyone chatted for a while, Mo Qingyun threw a package to Mo Yu, turned around and went back to the room, the two sisters sat under the shade of a tree, opened the package, there was not much food in it, maybe it was hot weather, and they couldn't keep it, but There is a kind of fudge in a wooden jar, which tastes particularly good. Mo Yan ate several of them without stopping. It is a bit like modern orange fudge.

At dinner, the family got together lively and discussed the arrangements for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival.Uncle Zhao was the first to speak, "Qingyun, you have to go to the county to have a look when you come back. It happens that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the rules, don't we have to give some gifts?"

Generally, in the village, when the two families are engaged, the man will come to the door to send some gifts to express his love during the New Year and holidays. According to his own conditions, some will send rice, eggs, and some will send cloth. The gifts are light and affectionate.

"Well, I want to go to the market tomorrow morning and bring some pork over there."

The Zhu family's conditions are not bad, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. Every time Mo Qingyun sends something, Zhu's escort will refuse, saying that he doesn't care about these things, and as long as Mo Qingyun can come, he will be happy.Although his daughter Zhu Shi has a servant girl to serve her, she is not a pampered lady. She usually does work at home, sewing, washing, and doing everything.

"Qingyun, what kind of pork do you want to buy? Compared with others, there is no shortage."

Mrs. Lu interrupted, she brought too many gifts this time, because it was the first time she returned to her hometown, she prepared a lot when she was on the road, and bought a lot along the way. There are too many, it can be worn by the family for more than ten years, and she originally wanted to take it back. Later, Mrs. Lu thought about it, and the family still uses ox carts to pull goods, so she can just keep the carriage for loading. The same goes for buying it back.

"Second aunt, your things are too expensive."

Mo Qingyun waved her hands repeatedly, the Zhu's family didn't want to climb high, so they had scruples about this marriage back then, it was because he was sincere and had known Zhu's for many years and had feelings for him, so he agreed.

"Which woman doesn't love beauty? Even I like the jewelry sold by the Great Wu merchants."

Liniang and Mo Qingyun have known each other for a long time, and Mo Qingyun once walked through the darts for her, so she is not an outsider, so she interjected, evading that those are just talk on the occasion, how could she ever meet someone who gave herself a gift and push it away!

"That's it, let's listen to your second aunt."

Grandpa Mo Shouren made the decision, the family didn't give much dowry, in fact, it could be regarded as neglecting the girl.My grandson Qingyun is an escort, coming in the wind and going in the rain, there is still danger, when a girl marries into the house, she must always be prepared to guard the vacant room alone, it is inevitable that she will feel aggrieved.

The family discussed how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, and finally decided to keep a low profile. I will make the fillings for the mooncakes tonight, and I will just bake the mooncakes tomorrow, so I will not buy them.

The mooncakes I bought looked exquisite, but the taste was not good, and the outer skin was thicker, with less filling inside, which was not as good as homemade ones.Mo Yan specifically asked one more question, the mooncakes in Yingchuan are similar to the current Soviet-style mooncakes, with crispy skins and white candy kernels as the main ingredients.

"Mother, Mo Xiang can make mooncakes like ours in Kyoto, why don't you make some and let grandma and the others try."

Mo Yan is talking about Cantonese-style moon cakes. Her favorite is egg yolk lotus paste. Egg yolk is easy to buy, but lotus paste is not common. Only wealthy families in Kyoto add a small amount of it when making cakes, but Yingchuan has not seen it so far. arrive.

There is no egg yolk lotus seed paste, it can be made into egg yolk ham fillings. I remember the last time I went to the market with my cousin, and came across smoked ham meat, sliced, steamed, put in rice, and fragrant.
