reborn peasant mother
Chapter 38
Chapter 38
There is a saying in the peasant household that lazy women look forward to the cold, and greedy women look forward to the new year.Feng Yujiang was neither greedy nor lazy, but it was Chinese New Year, and there was no other farm work during this season, so he was busy eating and drinking all day long.
During the New Year's Eve, make tofu, croquettes, steamed steamed buns, grind glutinous rice flour, grind and bake a thick stack of pancakes, and prepare firewood to be burned at the end of the year.According to the local Chinese New Year's custom, no work is allowed before the first half of the first month. Spring planting and autumn harvesting last a whole year, and Chinese New Year will be a comfortable year.But if they don't work before the first month and a half, the women of each family have to prepare the food for the family for more than half a month.
Feng Yujiang sells meatball soup by himself, and radish balls for Chinese New Year are not uncommon.In addition to bean puffs, she also fried some couples and peanuts.Peanuts wrapped in flour paste, fried out for snacks for children, they all like to eat.
Mother Zhong didn't reach out her hand, she was really too busy alone.On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, she took time out and stayed up all night to make a New Year's dress for Shanzi.At that time, women who knew how to live had a pair of skilled hands. Children's clothes were cut and sewed by themselves without finding a tailor, saving money and being considerate.
Gangzi touched the fabric and said, "Why do you just make new clothes for my brother? Why don't I have any?"
"Didn't you just get your grandma a yellow mandarin jacket? You and your sister have both. Your brother is no longer a child when he grows up, so we won't make him a yellow mandarin jacket."
"Then can I wear it tomorrow?"
Feng Yujiang smiled and said, "I will wear it for you on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Gangzi looked at her skillfully inserting needles and threading, and muttered: "My sister has a sewing machine! Mom, when will we buy one?"
"I'll buy it when Mom earns more money," Feng Yujiang said.Seeing Gangzi yawn loudly, she sent Erya to fetch water and wash his brother's feet.
Gangzi took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, pinched his feet with his fingers, sniffed them under his nose, and said with a smile, "It doesn't smell bad, can you do it without washing?"
"No, wash your feet in hot water and sleep. It's warm. You won't need to put your icicle-like feet on my body to cover them." Feng Yujiang patted his hand away from scratching his feet.
Zhong Jipeng pushed the door in from the outside, and hastily closed the door behind him, shutting out the turbulent cold air.He looked at Feng Yujiang and said:
"Dongzi's grandma is dead."
Feng Yujiang's hand trembled, and she accidentally pricked her finger.She put down her needle and thread, and asked in amazement:
"Who died?"
"Dongzi's milk! Didn't eat New Year's dumplings after all. It's really not the time for Chinese New Year."
Feng Yujiang didn't have the heart to sew clothes, so she just put them in the dustpan.She was silent for a while, then said, "...didn't you hear anything?"
"His family is single-family, and there are no neighbors. Dongzi is a grandson. He is a young man who doesn't know how to cry like a woman. How can you hear the movement. A few people in the village helped him clean up and resettle him. , After changing the shroud, the spirit stopped.”
Zhong Jipeng sighed: "It's really not the right time to die. You said that it's hard to find someone who is busy during the Chinese New Year. You can't be buried after the first day of the new year. But then again, that family is so poor that you can't take it. What funeral?"
Feng Yujiang remained silent for a long time.She took care of Gangzi to sleep, and said to Zhong Jipeng, "I'll go out for a while."
"It's freezing outside, where are you going so late?"
Feng Yujiang said: "I'll take a look at Dongzinai. She has been a good person all her life, and no one cried twice when she was about to see her off."
Zhong Jipeng waved his hand: "You are the only one who has a lot of troubles. I don't care about you. If you want to go, go."
Feng Yujiang changed into a thick padded jacket, took out a scarf to wrap around it, opened the door and melted into the night.Dongzi's house was half a village away from hers, and she came all the way to Dongzi's house.The door of Dongzi's house and the door of the main room are all open. This is also a custom. When a person dies, the door cannot be closed from the last breath to the first seven days.
