Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 20

"Who was restrained?" Seeing that the two girls were happy and that the eldest son had returned, Qi asked with a smile.

Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "No mother, I bought everything back."

Mrs. Hu didn't say anything, but Du Erlang didn't ambiguous, and directly told what happened today. Mrs. Hu thought to herself, isn't this silly boy making his grandma angry?
"It's well cured, your big grandma likes to take advantage of her, she has taken advantage of us several times, she thought she wouldn't do it this time, but she didn't expect her stubbornness to bully her ass! Our donkey is usually reluctant to let it do heavy work, but this woman let it do it without saying hello. What was it given to her? She must be begging for nothing, and she likes to say It sounds nice, as if she is loved by everyone, no matter what age I am, I still have a flower."

Qi's resentment towards Zhang's resentment, that is to say, can't be finished for a few days and nights. She was extremely unhappy when she came to rub the car yesterday, but she held back anyway. But today she came so much, Qi's It's no wonder if you don't scold.

"Yu'er did a good job today, so I should treat that woman like this. Let's see if she dares to take advantage of our family next time!" The Qi family is very happy to make the old enemy feel embarrassed, so seeing the granddaughter also feels much more pleasing to the eye.

"Don't take her with you in the future, it's like this every time!" Mrs. Qi warned everyone!
Mr. Du coughed, this matter is really not absolute, the two old sisters-in-law have been arguing like this for most of their lives, and they still don't stop.

Du Youzhong came back and handed over the rest of the money to the Qi family.Qi Shi put it away and locked it in his own box.

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is a small year. On this day, the people in Yangliu Village have to clean up and pay tribute to the Stove King. Not good, and the Stove Lord ate sugar, and his mouth was sweet too.

Women don't sacrifice to the stove, so the worship of the Stove Lord was carried out by Mr. Du with his sons and grandsons. After burning the paper horse and sending the Stove Lord to heaven, the ceremony was considered complete.

The Du family started a general cleaning of each house, saying that the old and the new are welcome. This house has been cleaned inside and out all year round. It really has never been done once. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, even the beams and roofs have to be cleaned.

The big broom made of bamboo is as tall as a person, and the things in the house are covered with old cloths in advance to prevent dust, cobwebs, and ashes from falling on the house, and they are all cleaned up.

When Du Youzhong came back, he specially ordered a small stone mill, so that he could use it for himself in the future, instead of queuing up at the big willow tree.Of course, if there are a lot of them, they should be taken from the big willow tree.

Mrs. Qi felt it was a waste, the village had shared ones, why would he spend this money to buy this small stone mill?

But Du Youzhong said, "Our family also harvested a lot of soybeans. With this small stone mill, we also have donkeys. We can make some tofu, which is also a dish. It is more convenient than others if we want to drink tofu nao. I heard people in the town It is said that eating more tofu is good for your health."

I bought everything, not to mention that this stone mill is not a thing that can be finished after one use, it can really save a lot of trouble in the future, and the villagers know it, and they can only envy it.So Qi Shi didn't say much.

On the day the stone mill was delivered, Qi asked his family to grind the soybeans that had been soaked overnight. Du Yu kept watching and felt that the wisdom of the working people was really endless. Once pressed, white juice will flow out, and after further processing, it will become tofu nao and tofu.

Du Youxian looked at the tofu that came out, and said to everyone: "It's better to make tofu every day during the slack season, and sell it elsewhere, which is also an income." Once you have a family, you have to find a way to make money , I can't rely on my elder brother alone.

Gao also had the same thought in his mind, he had a business of making tofu, so he would have more money on hand in the future.

Seeing that the third son was sensible and knew that he was a burden for the family, Mrs. Qi said, "That's fine, but don't say you're tired. If you really do the job of tofu well, it will be good for you in the future." If the family is separated, if the third child can sell tofu in the future, this will be a way to make more money by dividing the family.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi spoke and agreed, Du Youxian and Mrs. Gao were very happy. Mrs. Qi said: "I have agreed in advance that this is the business of our family. We can't just treat it as a family. If anyone thinks so, I and Mrs. No one is finished! Usually we have to work together, and I am not a small button. If everyone does well, our life will be better in the future. If anyone thinks this is his little family's business, then get out of here !"

"Mother, we all heard clearly! That will never happen." Du Youxian and the others said quickly.

Gao Shi didn't have anything else to say, and she didn't have the heart to live alone.

Mr. Du didn't comment on these things. Today we all knew that everyone was going to clean up, so no one came to ask Mr. Du to write couplets. But Du Yu knew that until the [-]th year, someone asked his grandfather to write couplets.

Because the weather is cold, every family will have a brazier, a square wooden frame with an iron basin on it. Rich people burn charcoal, while those without money use firewood.Choose the kind of big and hard wood lumps, which can often burn for a whole day without stopping the fire, but burning wood tends to blacken the wall, so it needs to be fixed in a place. At this time, smoked bacon appears.

Tie the piece of meat above the brazier, leave it alone, it will be smoked every day, after a long time, the bacon will become, and the taste is particularly good, naturally, unlike the kind that is specially looking for firewood to smoke, there is no such thing A natural taste.

When the old Du family started to burn the brazier, they hung several pieces on it. Last year, they took it off and ate part of it. In summer, they ate the most. At that time, the smoked bacon was still dripping. Oil, fried with green pepper and bacon, the taste makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

"There's only this piece of bacon left. It's a good idea to cut a piece for lunch at thirty." Mrs. Qi was discussing the New Year's Eve reunion dinner with the two daughters-in-law.

Frying things at home, everyone started to get busy, and steamed buns. During the Chinese New Year, when there is not enough rice, buns can be used instead.Simple and hassle-free.

For the past few days, Du Yu has been acting as a fire girl, so what's the point of a little girl going out to play every day?This is what Mrs. Qi said, but it's not Du Yu's turn to do the cooking, so it's Du Yu's turn to light the fire.

Du Yu is also willing to do this. It's cold, and it's not cold to light a fire on the stove door. It's so comfortable!Moreover, when the fire is burning, put one or two sweet potatoes or yams next to the fire, and when they are cooked, peel off the skin, and the aroma is really fragrant for miles.

The Qi family doesn't care about this either, to her, these sweet potatoes and yams are not rare items, it's not a big deal to let the children eat some, and it's not just a waste of firewood to burn.

Since Du Yu let Zhang Shi feel a little bit embarrassed last time, Qi Shi's attitude towards Du Yu has obviously improved a lot.So Du Yu has this benefit.Ever since Du Tao and the others moved, I don't know if the Second Aunt didn't let her and Sanlang come over. I haven't seen anyone for a long time.The weather is cold, Du Yu doesn't like to go out, and he seldom goes shopping in the village. When the friends are preparing new year's goods at home, eating takes the first place.At what time, what my friends miss most is eating.
