Chapter 136 Alone
Aunt Jiang also smiled: "For the new year, for the better life!"

Jiang Dabao grinned, and his childish voice was full of excitement: "Dry the bowl!"

It was not the first time for Jiang Xue to drink apple juice, so she naturally didn't feel bad about it.

But for Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao, this stuff was very fresh. They first took a sip, smacked their lips, and couldn't help taking another sip.

Sweet, with a little sour in the sweet, it tastes better than soda.

Seeing that they liked it, Jiang Xue opened another bottle and poured it into their bowls.

"Godmother, you can drink more if you like, but you should also eat more, and you have to watch the year at night."

Aunt Jiang was the only one who didn't notice, Jiang Xue opened the bottle, she could only nod her head, and asked worriedly: "Girl, if you can't finish drinking this, put it outside and freeze it, won't it go bad?"

I would ask this because Jiang Xue said casually when eating canned fruit before that it is best to eat sealed food as soon as it is opened, and it will go bad if it is kept, especially when it is hot.

Jiang Xue smiled: "Let's drink first, the three of us, don't worry that we won't be able to finish drinking, besides, we can drink when we watch the year."

Although Jiang Xue didn't answer directly, Aunt Jiang could hear it, so she could play it.

During Chinese New Year, even after one year, no matter how hard life is, traditional habits will make people try to eat better on this day.

When the firecrackers sounded, Jiang Xue remembered that the firecrackers had not been set off yet, so the three of them laughed and went to the door to set off the firecrackers together, and then went back to eat again.

"Auntie, eat more." Jiang Dabao gave Jiang Xue a fat sheep with chopsticks.

Then I picked up a chopstick of beef for Aunt Jiang: "Grandma, you should eat more."

"Okay, okay~" Aunt Jiang nodded repeatedly, and said earnestly: "Sanba, you will be nine years old after the new year, and you will be a young adult. You are the only boy in our family. You have to live up to it. Don't worry about it." Let someone bully your aunt."

"Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely live up to it."

Seeing this, Jiang Xue laughed and said, "Godmother, let's just be happy for this New Year's Eve. Dabao is still young, so don't put so much pressure on him."

In fact, she can understand that Mrs. Jiang would be like this. At this time, patriarchy is everywhere. If there are a series of weak girls in the family, let alone the countryside, even in the city, they will be bullied to death by their neighbors.

In the countryside, if you don’t have a baby boy, it’s even more serious. Relatives in the clan and neighbors in the village will take advantage of your family. It’s not surprising that they take advantage of your house and sell your children. It’s not surprising that they sell you.

For this kind of thing, the world before Jiang Xue traveled, the economy and technology were so developed, and from time to time, he could still see news on the Internet that people were dying.

Don't say why you don't resist, when the people around you are bullying you in unison, it's really not to be said every day, and the earth is not working, except death.

But, who wants to die, and who is not afraid of death.

Don't look at Aunt Jiang and Dabao Jiang now have urban household registration, but Aunt Jiang is also afraid that she is a newcomer, and there is no man in the family who can support the family, so she will be bullied by her neighbors.

For Jiang Dabao, Aunt Jiang had no choice but to make a request, which is also a high expectation.

When Jiang Xue spoke, Aunt Jiang nodded naturally. She has no culture, and her daughter has ideas, so she must be right to listen to her.

"By the way, Public Security Lu sent something to our family, but we haven't returned the gift yet."

If Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, Jiang Xue would have forgotten about it, the rabbit meat was still being marinated in the kitchen.

"We should leave Gongan Lu to have a meal together."

Jiang Xue: "Godmother, it's the Chinese New Year. I'm sure she's going to go home to celebrate the New Year and be reunited with her family."

"Too."

At this time, Lu Yan, who Jiang Xue said should be reunited at home, walked to the dormitory with a lunch box.

During the holiday, there are not many people eating in the canteen, and the food in the canteen is simple. If it is not for taking care of the comrades in the compound, the canteen may not be open.

Lu Yan made a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a portion of shredded potatoes. The staple food was two-in-one steamed buns.

If anyone saw it, they would definitely think that Lu Yan was out of his mind. He bought meat, but he didn't eat it as a gift. It's so simple for him to eat it for the Chinese New Year.

But Lu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong. Jiang Xue gave him something, but he just returned the gift.

When every household was watching the New Year's Eve making dumplings, Lu Yan half leaned against the head of the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and read "Xing Shi Heng Yan".

He would read this book three or five times a year, and he was already familiar with it.

Seeing 'Most people in the world have shallow eyes, they only see the skin, not the bones...' Lu Yan thought of Jiang Xuelai inexplicably.

He still remembered that when he passed by at that time, he heard her melodious and crisp voice slowly recite this paragraph, and the scene described in the text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes...

Although dumplings are made for Shousui, no one can finish all the white flour.

If the family is rich, more meat will be put in the white flour dumplings. If the family conditions are poor, the white flour is mixed with cornmeal or sorghum flour to make dumpling skins. For those who are poor, either put a little meat, or simply put cabbage or white radish.

In the years when fine grains are finally available, it is extremely rare to eat such a dumpling.

Jiang Xue's side is different. Although she can only buy three catties of white flour, she doesn't live on supply.

The noodles are just a few catties of flour, and the dumpling fillings include shrimp, mushrooms, pork, and eggs and leeks.

The three of them wrapped three bamboo sieves and two wide bamboo baskets, moved a long bench and set it up in the yard to freeze.

As for why there are so many dumplings, Jiang Xue thinks that the cooking oil and the meat are always delicious, and the neighbors must see it in their eyes. They are eye-catching. The dumplings do not taste very good when cooked. Anyway, it’s okay to keep the year old, so wrap more chant.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, just as Jiang Xue left the room, Aunt Jiang, who got up early in the morning, handed her a red envelope.

"New year, smooth, safe and sound!"

Jiang Xue liked this, so she took it with both hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you, godmother, and wish godmother good health and a long life."

At first, Jiang Xue thought it was fifty cents, but she felt a little hard in her hand, as if it contained something, which was a little strange, she opened it and poured it out, and looked up at Aunt Jiang in surprise.

"Take it, the godmother doesn't have anything else for you." Aunt Jiang pursed her lips and smiled, the money in her hand was still given by Jiang Xue.

This is a pair of Emerald Emerald earrings. You can tell from the craftsmanship that they must have been passed down by Aunt Jiang's family for several generations.

Jiang Xue subconsciously wanted to push it back, but after thinking about it, she took all the valuable antiques and gold bars from Heye Village, so she didn't refuse, and said again: "Then I will accept it, thank you godmother."

Going back to the room to put the Diancui earrings away, Jiang Xue sighed in her heart, who would have imagined that Mrs. Jiang, a peasant woman from the countryside, would have so many good things in her hands.
