big sister headed home

Chapter 78

"Little aunt, 'Let's have something to eat' we haven't eaten yet." Dou Hua's words successfully shut up Li's mouth, "Actually, Li's mother and daughter are also hungry." They have been busy since morning. Didn't eat anything yet.

"I still know I'm hungry. I've been around for so long, I don't know how to buy something to eat." Li Shi said, but turned and went into the kitchen, "preparing meals swiftly."

There are plenty of ingredients in the kitchen, all of which are seasonal vegetables' The previous noodles are sold out, but the side dishes are left.' Li Shi has revived a pot of noodles' and rolled them into evenly thick noodles'Put in water and cook in a pot to cool' It can be eaten with various side dishes' Lee also added a fried egg to each bowl of noodles.

Originally, they were peasants and no one was picky, but now they are hungry again. Dou Hua and the others found a table and sat down at random, holding bowls of noodles to eat.

After eating and drinking enough, the noodle shop was cleaned up, and the three mothers and daughters of the Li family returned to Doujia Village together in the donkey cart of Dou Hua and the others.

After entering the village, Dou Hua sent Mrs. Li to the door of her house, and gave Mrs. Li something she had prepared in the basket.

Mrs. Li muttered a few more words, and finally accepted it, and asked the big girl Duo'er to come over with a little rooster in the evening as a gift in return.

Dou Hua asked Dou Qing to send the remaining two houses to each family, and Dou Hua gave Dou Qing all the gifts for New Years and holidays.

Dou Qing is the eldest son of Sanfang. After he gets married and starts a business, he will be able to support his appearance. Now Dou Hua is also consciously training him. Fortunately, Dou Qing is not shy about this, and it is very appropriate to communicate with people.

Dou Qing sent gifts to Dou Dashan's family first, and Dou Dashan's family returned two carp, and went to Dou Ershan's house and brought back a basket of eggs.

Dou Hua personally handed over the last item left to Jiang Ermeng. In addition to food, Dou Hua specially bought two pairs of sturdy cloth shoes for Jiang Ermeng in the county town. These days, he worked hard and spent a lot of money on shoes. , Dou Hua is clumsy, although she also learned how to make shoes, but she couldn't make shoes for a while, so she found two pairs of sturdy shoes at the shoe store, and expressed her affection.

After receiving the gift, Jiang Ermeng was very happy. After talking to Dou Hua, he reluctantly left Doujiacun and went back to Jiangjiazhai. Before leaving, he smiled and said to Douhua that tomorrow There was something good, and when he asked him what it was, Jiang Ermeng just smiled and didn't say anything, which made Dou Hua very depressed.

However, Dou Hua was not depressed for too long. The next day, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she knew the good things Jiang Ermeng said and why he was so happy, and she even got a big blush for this.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Caiyun came with Mrs. Li and brought a piece of red paper wrapped in red cloth.

Seeing that Chen Caiyun and Chen Caiyun were both smiling, Dou Hua asked curiously, "What is this, a red envelope?"

"If you want to know what it is, just open it and have a look." Chen Caiyun solemnly handed the red envelope to Dou Hua, and winked at her.

Dou Hua glanced at her aunt again, and saw that she was also smiling, but didn't say anything, which made her a little confused, so she opened the red paper out of curiosity, and after she saw the words inside, she couldn't help but blush, I saw a few words written on it-the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day.

There's still something I don't understand, it turns out that Chen Caiyun sent a "day" here, and this "day" is an auspicious day for getting married.

"Hey, that's embarrassing," Chen Caiyun said with a smile, "My cousin is impatient. He entrusted someone to calculate the date early in the morning, and waited for this day to send it to you. I'm afraid that your prospective daughter-in-law will fly away."

"What did my sister-in-law say? It's really embarrassing." Dou Hua said.

"It's good to know how to be ashamed. This is how a daughter's family looks like." Li Shi smiled, and his heart was full of relief.

"Auntie, why do you even want to make fun of me?" Dou Hua stomped her feet in embarrassment, guessing so many reasons why Jiang Ermeng was happy, but it turned out that this, this guy, wanted to get married just so much, Dou Hua thought now How could I have been so stupid and asked people why they were happy so many times? Now thinking about it, it really makes me feel ashamed and indignant.

"Hahaha..." Chen Caiyun and Mrs. Li rarely saw Dou Hua's embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing happily. They were sincerely happy for Dou Hua in their hearts. Now even the auspicious date for getting married has been set, and they will only wait for the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month to get married. .

Chen Caiyun and Mrs. Li chatted at Dou Hua's house for a while and then went back. Dou Hua took out a portion of the dim sum bought yesterday and gave it to Chen Caiyun, and Chen Caiyun took it.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, which is the day of family reunion. At noon, every family will steam a pot of meat buns.Dou Hua's steamed buns with leek meat, in addition to the buns, and the two fish sent by Dou Dashan, Dou Hua stewed them, mixed two cold dishes, and made a pot of tomato and egg drop soup.

A table of meals, including fish, vegetables, soup, and steamed stuffed buns, was very sumptuous. Sitting around together, the siblings had a great time eating.

In the evening, after dinner, set a table under the moon, put moon cakes, fruits, and a large pot of freshly harvested peanuts in the field. They are boiled peanuts with five-flavored salt, boiled noodles, and taste delicious. It's very fragrant, Dou Hua's siblings all like to eat it, and they usually grab a handful when they have nothing to do.

It was getting dark, and the round moon was hanging in the mid-air. On August [-]th, clouds covered the moon. From time to time, clouds drifted past, blocking the moon, but they couldn't block the moon's light.Dou Hua had already moved the table outside and prepared all kinds of food. The sisters were sitting around, eating moon cakes, admiring the moon, and chatting about homework.

"Elder Sister, here, eat mooncakes." Little Dou Hong distributed mooncakes to Dou Hua and the others in order of seniority.

"Brother, this one is for you. Second sister, this one is for you to eat. Second brother, you eat this one. This one is mine."

After sharing the mooncakes, Dou Hong took her own mooncakes and began to nibble, eating and saying, "This mooncake is really delicious, sweet."

The mooncakes that Dou Hua bought were traditional red bean paste mooncakes. The glutinous red bean paste tastes quite sweet, but you can’t eat too much. If you eat too much, you will feel sweet and greasy. Children have no resistance to sweets, and they like them the most. After a while, Dou Hong ate moon cakes, although there were still moon cakes on the table, she couldn't eat any more.

Dou Hua’s lantern fruit transplanted before has grown a lot of fruit. Dou Hua and the others have been eating it since the weather was hot, and they can still eat it now, but there are not many of it. The fruit tastes very sweet, little Children especially love to eat, so Dou Hua picked a plate and put it on the table for everyone to eat.

"Sister, look at the moon in the sky, it's so round and bright." Dou Lin said.

"Yes, the moon tonight is very beautiful. Some people say that the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival is different from the usual ones. You can make a wish to the moon." Dou Hua said, put her hands together, bowed her head to the moon and made a wish.

"That's it, then I want to make a wish." Dou Lin said.

"I want to make a wish too." Dou Hong shouted, and imitated Dou Hua's appearance and began to make a wish.

Dou Qing and Dou Cui did not speak, but silently began to make a wish to the moon.

The family made a wish, talking and laughing, very lively.

After the excitement, after eating the food on the table and enjoying the moon for a while, everyone went back to the house to sleep.

One day, Dou Hua was lying on the bed, suffering from rare insomnia. Looking at the moon outside the window, she couldn’t fall asleep anyway. After tossing and turning several times, Dou Hua sat up with her clothes on and looked at Dou Cui and Dou Hong beside her. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb them, and walked lightly into the yard alone.

At this time, the sky was clear and bright, with a bright moon in the sky, exuding bright moonlight, and the surrounding stars couldn't help being eclipsed by the moonlight.

Dou Hua found a bench at the door, sat down, and rested her chin with both hands, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze. The two dogs in the kennel saw her coming out, wagging their tails happily, and came to her. Ask for a touch.

Dou Hua patted their heads one by one, and the two dogs lay obediently beside her, guarding her quietly.

Dou Hua took out the piece of red paper that Chen Caiyun gave her earlier from her pocket, the words inside were still clearly visible under the moonlight, she stroked the handwriting lightly, and felt much more at ease in her heart.
