Chapter 1314 [1313] Farming Records of Burial of a Girl 41 (5000)

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by the brothers Wei Ying and Cui Xiang. Liu'er was responsible for washing it, while she and San'er were eating snacks, which was so beautiful.

Occasionally, if you don’t do it properly, you can be perfect by touching your mouth.

This year, there are too many meats and fewer vegetables. Because fewer people come to see a doctor, there are naturally fewer dishes to give. If it doesn’t work, it won’t change. Anyway, there are meat, cabbage, radish, celery, tofu and scallions, and so many pickled vegetables. It’s not fat years, but it’s something that people at the foot of the mountain cannot compare with.

They were six of them prepared two stews, two hot dishes, six cold dishes on New Year's Eve, and they added up to ten dishes, not for the purpose of eating leftovers on the first day of the New Year. Bai He was the least superstitious about eating leftovers every year. As a doctor, this is a very unhealthy idea and has nothing to do with customs.

Their family loves Northeast stew and Henan stewed vegetables the most. For this reason, she specially bought two small casseroles and made two small stoves that can be placed on the table. Red charcoal is placed underneath, and stewed while eating. It is so fragrant and can keep the dishes warm to the end and not get cold.

Hot dishes are Sichuan cuisine, such as chopped pepper fish head and pickled fish, and cold dishes are made as you can do whatever you have at home, such as peeled jelly, pig's trotters, peanuts, egg turnips, etc.

The stew usually contains pork, kelp, fried tofu strips, pig blood, tofu, vermicelli, cabbage or radish.

The staple food is the dumplings with three fillings: celery, pork, cabbage, pork, radish, leek, pork, and pork. They put a little bit of each one, which means it’s just a taste. It’s mainly to eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the lunar month, which is a custom in the north.

Although this place is not considered the north, it has a southern taste, because rice is grown here every year and only grows some flour in dry land. But she is a northerner and loves pasta and rice, but in traditional concepts, it is still mainly in the north.

The Cui family and the Wei family are not good at cooking any dishes, so naturally she controls the overall situation, and her taste is mainly based on her.

There is a custom of eating rice cakes in the south. Baihe also fried rice cake strips and mixed them with brown sugar or soybean powder, which became a cold dish dessert.

This year she also made Lantern Festival with glutinous rice flour. Unlike the southern dumplings, she was dumplings with Lantern Festival, which will be used as a dessert after the first day of the Chinese New Year to entertain these southerners.

Because there are individual differences between the north and the south, many of them are traditional customs and habits, and she has no intention of stopping others from being there, so she should satisfy everyone's needs as much as possible.

Wei Ying and his son said it didn't matter, because Aunt Wei is from the south and Acropolis is from the north, so they will feel that the food they eat is delicious, not picky about food, and it is easy to support them.

San'er was completely developed into the northern appetite by her, and the brother and sister became more pragmatic. Now they run a noodle stall and make pasta dishes. What qualifications do they have to dislike the bad pasta? So the whole family naturally reached a consensus that northern dishes are the main ones and southern dishes are the auxiliary ones. No one thinks this would be strange.

Everyone was busy at this New Year's Eve dinner. When the Acropolis had nothing to do, they went to the foot of the mountain to chat with old friends. When they returned to their homes for the New Year's Eve dinner, Bai He also brought out a jar of the wine he made last year.

"I have hidden the rest of the jar made this year, except for the jar that I enjoyed playing with Uncle Wei, and this jar was from last year. Uncle can taste it well in a while. What's the difference between the two."

Wine is suitable for all ages, especially this kind of home brew, which does not have many additives. You can drink a little lightly, including Liu'er and her. As for San'er, it has never been considered. No wine is suitable for children under the age of ten to try, even fruit wine.

Uncle Wei also loved drinking when he was young. At that time, his wife took care of him, but he didn't drink it often. After Aunt Wei left, no one took care of him. Instead, he couldn't get interested. After drinking the wine she made last year, he realized that the wine could still be drunk like this. The slightly sweet and unpopular fruit wine has become a good wine that he must take a sip of every day.

After dinner, Wei Ying suddenly stood up solemnly, and pulled out a small mahogany box that looked valuable from the side, and then hugged and handed it to Bai He next to him: "Xiaohe, this is for you."

Bai He hugged San'er and looked at him in confusion: "Is this..."

Seeing this, Xiangzi quickly took San'er away. Yusheng was still unhappy because he left Bai He's arms. When Liu'er pouted and was about to cry, he quickly pinched a meatball and handed it to him. As soon as the little guy had something to eat, he immediately forgot to have trouble.

Bai He opened the red box and saw it, and was shocked: "Is this..."

"This is what my family has saved over the years, and there are jewelry I bought for you before. I originally planned to give it to you after we get married, but now I think it can be given."

There are silver, naked sons, two jade bracelets, silver notes, jewelry, and an old-fashioned silver bracelet. It seems that his mother wore it before her death.

This can be regarded as all the Wei family's possessions. He gave it to her on such an occasion. Could it be that he was stimulated by An Xiaoguang's search for a wife?

"Are you trying to urge your marriage?" Bai He raised his eyebrows bluntly. Wei Ying was not shy and admitted it openly.

"Yes, I want to get married with you. Will we get married next year? You said you were young and you will be eighteen after the New Year. I think it's almost done."

He was also direct, and his naked eyes were clearly hinting that he could not wait for too long.

Thoughts on what my godmother said to her a few days ago, although I didn’t agree with it, the current situation.

Cui Xiang and Cui Liu'er both noticed that Bai He's eyes were stuck on the three brothers and sisters for a while, and said quickly.

"Sister, just promise Brother Wei. We promise not to cause trouble for you. We will work harder and earn money in the future, and our lives will definitely get better and better."

Wei Ying nodded and agreed, "Yes, our business is on track now. I visited several farms before the New Year, but I was not very satisfied. I went to see them when the spring was coming, and I got the farm after the summer harvest. When we have the farm, we don't have to live in the valleys. In the future, you can still enjoy your current life. Don't you like mountains? Then let's buy a farm with mountains. We will make more money next year and strive to achieve our wish."

I have to say that his words were in her heart. She did think about buying a farm with mountain ownership. Even if it was a 100-meter-high hillside, she could plant fruit trees and raise chickens and ducks in the future. She enjoyed the joy of picking eggs every day. If it weren't for the small place now and the place could not be used, she would have been doing a lot of breeding.

Acropolis cleared his throat and said, "Girl, don't worry, I'm going to supervise it. If he treats you badly, I'm the first one to be unwilling to do it."

Liu'er was afraid that San'er would delay her marriage, so she pulled Bai He's clothes in a hurry: "Sister, you see, San'er is gone, so she doesn't let her carry you. I'll take care of you. You can really consider your lifelong affairs. We will bother you as little as possible in the future, really,"

Bai He touched her head helplessly: "Silly girl, why do you think so? I'm not dragging your brother Wei because of you,"

"Oh, okay, then I will promise you, but the wedding date is set when you give me a farm as a bride price. This is not an exaggeration? Of course, don't be nervous. If you want to take the mountain, it's not easy to buy a farm, and it won't be cheap. I will give you a dowry. Our whole family will work hard to buy such a good farm. When will this dream be realized, I will marry you, how about?"

Wei Ying couldn't hide his joy: "Be serious?"

Bai He raised his eyebrows: "It's like a fake package to change. It's more real than real gold."

"Okay, that's what you said!"

He settled down his mind and got a specific wedding date. Not to mention him, the Acropolis and the Cui brothers and sisters were also happy.

However, Bai He poured cold water directly: "The price of such a farm is not cheap, at least more than a thousand taels of silver. If you rely on selling noodles alone, you will have to earn the year of the monkey and horse month?"

How could Weiying not know how expensive this price is?

In fact, Bai He said that Qianliang is considered conservative, and he has not been asked about it. Such a farmer has ownership of the mountain, and generally starting with two thousand liang may not be able to get it.

"Then I'll go to the ward after the New Year." The ward is quick, the risk is high, and the earnings are a lot. He has this ability, but he is still worried that he won't make money?

Bai He pursed his lips, disagreed with his desperate efforts: "Is it worth it?"

"What is the purpose of a person in this life? Isn't it just a warm kang for his wife and children? Now that I have found someone who suits me, Isn't it okay to go out and work hard in order to live a good life in the future?"

Cui Xiang clenched his fists and said to Wei Ying: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will help you too."

Liu'er also agreed: "Brother-in-law, I will help you too."

Bai He looked at it for a moment and said nothing: "You are turning your elbows out, why are you afraid that I won't get married?"

Cui Xiang smiled heartlessly, and hugged Bai He's shoulder and looked at Wei Ying.

"It's not just us, but my sister herself, I will definitely not watch you run around without feeling sorry. Don't worry, she will also give up her dowry. Didn't you say it just now? We have all heard it. Since it's for us to plan a future for the future, it's meaningful to designate the whole family to work together, right?"

Bai He was unable to refute what Cui Xiang said, and Acropolis stood up at this time.

"I can work like this old bone for two more years. After the New Year, I will also go out to the mountain to follow Xiangzi to help, and take on some carpenter work from time to time. Let's make money together and move towards our goal together."

This made Bai He feel a little ashamed: "Uncle Wei, in fact, everyone doesn't need to do this. If you really can't buy a house with a mountain, it's okay to just be a farm. If you buy a mountain, we can wait for a few years. After all, the opportunity is not so easy to touch, right?"

This is the truth, but since you have made a promise, there is no reason to cut halfway through it. So the whole family raised their glasses and drank together, silently shouting and encouraging each other!

On the evening of New Year's Eve, Bai He also received New Year's money from Uncle Wei and Wei Ying, and the brothers and sisters of Cui family were favored and filial to her. Although everyone's money was added up, it seemed that everyone had discussed it, only nine cents, but this was a blessing and a wish, and she received it very happily.

Compared to her, San'er was much more pitiful. Each person only gave him a penny. In the end, the money was deceived by Liu'er laughing. The key is that one is willing to beat and the other is willing to be beaten and get rid of it. What should I do if I use food to exchange for money?

"You are not immoral or not, you want all the money for the kids." Cui Xiang looked contemptuous from the side.

Liu'er was happy: "If you don't take advantage of the time when he is easy to cheat, do you have to wait until he is a little bitch when he grows up? Look how obedient he is. As long as there is something delicious, you must let go of money. This thing is a toy in his hands, but in our hands, it is capable of doing big things, right? Sister?"

Bai He smiled and glanced at Cui Xiang: "If you have the ability, you can use it, don't be jealous here."

Cui Xiang jumped: "I am jealous of her? How could I be jealous of her? Sister, you can't do this. You usually lean on her, but now you are still leaning on her?"

"How old are you? It's just this sister. If you don't care about me, I'll feel better!"

Cui Xiang instantly turned into a little cabbage: "Hmph, I'm just losing. The little one is loved and protected by you every day. This big one is with you, and I am the only one who is by your side. I have long passed the age and are restrained from the feelings and politeness. Sister, sometimes I really want to rebuild it. Can I pester you like San'er?"

Bai He didn't expect Cui Xiang to have such a childish side. How lacking love is, but if you think about it carefully, he is just a half-aged child, but because he is the eldest son, he has to shoulder the burden of the family. In fact, he also wants to act coquettishly in front of her like a child, be lazy, right?

Bai He patted his shoulder and rubbed his hair: "Yes, Xiangzi, there are so many unfair things in this world. How old are we? How many years older are we, and how many more meals are than them. You say that we don't care about them at this time, what should they do? You are a good brother, and Liu'er is also a good sister. Without the help of you two, San'er would not grow up as carefree and healthy as you are now. You can think about the children you have seen. Not to mention the distance, just those children at the foot of the mountain who are about the same age as him, which one of our San'er is white, fat and cute? This is not my credit. This is the result of our two families working together. Isn't it a great sense of accomplishment?"

"As he said he was a younger brother, he actually raised him like a son? We are so many older than him. When he got married, our children will be a few years younger than him. To put it another way, with such a young uncle and uncle, will our children be equivalent to having a backer in the future? Everything has two sides. Don't complain, learn to face every day positively. We are not living for him, but working hard for ourselves, right?"

...

Although she knew that Xiangzi was not complaining, Bai He still said something in front of her. She also believed that the child had blamed her parents, but after everyone left, isn’t it meaningless to pursue some responsibilities? Fortunately, the child is growing day by day and their lives are also developing better. Just think this is an indispensable experience on the road of life?

Don't people get through this way?

Let’s see what life the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain live, and then look at their family. With contrast, will you be much happier?

When the bell rang at midnight, firecrackers rang out throughout the village. People who had the conditions or did not have the conditions purchased firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

The children covered their ears happily and ran away while laughing and making noise at the foot of the mountain. Including San'er, he has been used to the scattered sound of firecrackers these days and has become less afraid.

Liu'er covered his little ears and everyone hid in the room. Listening to Wei Ying and Xiangzi carrying firecrackers on wood and walking around the two houses, Bai He leaned against the door frame and looked up at the stars in the sky, sighing: "It's another year!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai He took the children down the mountain to greet the people. When he saw the children, he would give him a ounce of New Year's money. The children who received the money said auspicious words and ran around to tell each other.

The An family is also her parents' home, so she passed by the house without entering. It would not be too late to come to visit her door with her stuff tomorrow.

Of course, Saner and Liu'er also received the "New Year's money" for the New Year, but it was not silver, but peanuts and fruits, and there was not even sugar.

If you give one ounce like Bai He, you will be even less. Ten ounces are a copper coin. If one ounce is a penny, it is equivalent to a penny. Although a penny is small, it is not easy to earn. Liu'er can only earn thirty ounces of money to earn a copper coin. You can imagine what the value is, so naturally no one can be as generous as her.

However, Bai He never thought of letting the siblings make money, just for good luck.

"We have more snacks than others give."

Look, she was treated differently. She gave her one ounce, and everyone knows the value.

Although sensible people can't afford to return this gift, at least they will give more snacks.

When we returned home before noon, Wei Ying and Xiangzi had already prepared their second meal on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Before the first meal, they had to offer incense and kowtow, so in the morning they ate dumplings and fruit pastries that offered incense.

It was noon that was the first meal, and today's lunch was no less than yesterday's sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

I set off a few firecrackers before dinner, and I don’t know what to say. Anyway, I must have gone for the auspicious meaning.

Today Weiying made a complete braised fish, Xiangzi stewed a medicinal chicken, fried the meat again, and steamed a few bowls.

The serious six heat and six cool dishes were filled with twelve dishes, and the whole table was filled with a hearty one.

Seeing so many delicious foods, San'er excitedly waved her hands to grab them, and she was drooling in her mouth and shouted "Fruity" with an unknown voice.

After Bai He started the meal, he first picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs in soft and glutinous rice noodles for him. With the pork ribs, the little guy was quiet.

Last night, everyone had a good sleep because they drank wine. Today is the first day of the New Year. They took out the jar of wine, poured a bowl of each person, and continued to start the rhythm of eating.

Bai He looked at such a family and thought that this was the third Spring Festival they had spent together, and involuntarily sighed that it was not easy to share hardships with such a group of people with the same values ​​in another world. At least for now, she is in a happy state, which is enough.
