reborn peasant mother

Chapter 35

Mother Zhong slapped her hands in anger and cursed repeatedly: "Damn it, this is an inappropriate life. I have lived my age in vain. I have worked so hard. The old and the young have broken their hearts. No one takes me back. It's over. My son has a bad luck, and you, a poor prodigal woman..."

Feng Yujiang packed up some presents and called Shanzi, "I'll see if your uncle's bicycle is in use. You don't need to borrow it for a day." Then he turned to Mother Zhong and said, "Mom, I'm going. If you are tired of scolding , go back to the house and rest for a while."

Feng Yujiang took Shanzi to send the New Year's gift, and came back happily.Mrs. Sun returned half of the various gifts, and even gave gifts to the children.As soon as Feng Yujiang got home, he called Erya and Gangzi over.

"Come and try, the yellow jackets that grandma made for you."

The two children never played the role of "grandmother" in their previous lives. Looking at the new clothes on their bodies, they asked questions curiously.

"Mom, how is grandma? When can I go to grandma's house?" Gangzi asked.He has always envied his little friend to go to his grandma, delicious food and fun, but he does not have a grandma to go around.

"Mom, what is a yellow mandarin jacket?" Erya looked at her new clothes, it was a light yellow padded jacket, but Gangzi's was a dark red jacket with a yellow border.

Feng Yujiang said: "This year's leap year is full of disasters. According to the custom, grandma will make yellow jackets for her grandchildren. Yellow jackets were given to ministers by the emperor when there were emperors in ancient times. Now children wear yellow jackets. , can avoid disasters, and grow up quickly."

Here Feng Yujiang had just finished delivering the New Year's gift, and Wu Shuanggui and Zhong Chuanxiu came to give the New Year's gift.The same four-color ceremony, pork, rooster, carp, four bottles of wine.

It is said that Zhong Chuanxiu was a new relative in the first year, so the Wu family's annual ceremony should be more serious.Feng Yujiang didn't care, but Zhong's mother felt ashamed, and murmured that someone in the village gave six-color gifts to someone's new relatives, someone's family gave fish weighing four to five catties, someone's family had only pork I gave away ten catties...

Of course, Mother Zhong wouldn't say it in front of Wu Shuanggui, but she would say it in front of Zhong Chuanxiu.

Zhong Chuanxiu lowered his head and remained silent.

Feng Yujiang gave her daughter a hand and signaled: Don't care.

On New Year's Eve, she really didn't want to argue with Mother Zhong. Wu Shuanggui was still in the main room, and it would be ugly if Mother Zhong started arguing.

When going back, Feng Yujiang also shared half of the annual gift from the Wu family and let Wu Shuanggui take it back.

"Take it all back, and the parents of the two families will eat it equally."

Wu Shuanggui understood these etiquettes, so he didn't refuse. With the help of Shanzi, he put the things on the bicycle and left.Zhong Chuanxiu had to go back to her husband's house for the New Year. Before leaving, she took Feng Yujiang's hand and asked quietly:
"Mom, when will you call me at home after the Chinese New Year?"

"The second day of the first lunar month is my daughter, you can go back to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."

When it comes to the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, it is considered to have entered the New Year's Eve.The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is called "Xiao Nian" in the local area, and you must pay attention to the food.Feng Yujiang listened to the requests of several children, stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli, and stewed a large pot.There are additional conditions for several children: put less cabbage and more vermicelli.The key is the meat. The meat should be pork belly. It is best to cut it into large pieces. It will be full of flavor when you bite into it, and it will be soft and rotten when stewed.This last point was specially emphasized by Gangzi. He happened to change his teeth, and the tooth board had a big hole.

Feng Yujiang simply put the whole piece of pork into the pot, put some star anise and sliced ​​ginger on it, put the firewood on the fire and ignited vigorously, and boiled the pot until the red embers in the pot were all gone. With a light insertion, the meat is penetrated, and then the meat is taken out, cut into large pieces and stewed with vermicelli and cabbage.

The broth was ladled into a black china basin.This broth is best eaten with the next noodles.
