Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 243 The New Year's Eve (4)
"Girl Li, what are you doing sitting here, come over and make some dumplings, to please you."

Usually at this time, the only one who can instruct her to work is her second sister. Qingli washed her hands and learned to make dumplings. The second aunt made the best ones. After putting the stuffing, the dumpling skins on both sides were folded in half and followed the crack Lace can be pinched everywhere, and she also wrapped a few with her hands.

"Little sister, your dumplings look okay, but they will be boiled in the pot, and the good dumplings will turn into slices of soup."

"Cousin Qingju, I can't pinch tightly."

"Your pleats are too big."

Mo Qingju demonstrated it to Qingli several times. In her previous life, Qingli was not very good at making dumplings. Since her mother passed away, if she wanted to eat dumplings, she would either go to a restaurant or go to the supermarket to buy quick-frozen dumplings. The leisure and elegance are in their own hands.

When it was almost midnight, little disciples Xi and Dongwa were called up. This is the time to prepare for the new year, and everyone wants to eat reunion dumplings together to keep the year old.

The boiled dumplings are also white and fat. The family prepares a lot of dipping dishes, including soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, chili sauce, and sesame oil, which can also be mixed together.

Qingli ate a few cabbage dumplings and thought they were delicious. Some people wanted to put copper coins in the dumplings, but mother felt that the copper coins were unhygienic. Changing to peanuts also means rising step by step.

Outside the window, the sound of firecrackers is even louder. The weather has been good in the past two years. Basically, every family can cut two catties of meat for the New Year’s Day, and make dumplings to satisfy their cravings. Buy some firecrackers. The louder it is, the more prosperous life is.

After eating the dumplings, the New Year's Eve is here, and Qingli officially becomes an eight-year-old girl on this day. From today onwards, she will bid farewell to the shadows left by her former master and do her best work. A new self and a happy life are her greatest wishes.

It was late at night, and the sound of firecrackers gradually became much quieter. The Qingli family also bid farewell to their grandparents and uncle and second uncle's family. Lanterns, until the third day of the Lunar New Year, the lanterns are not extinguished.

After returning home, the family simply washed up, said good night to each other, and fell into a deep sleep.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, everyone in the family got up late without exception, and missed the time for breakfast. Grandma Cui was still blushing. Everyone was busy on New Year's Eve, and they slept late, so they also got up late. Quickly made a bowl of spinach noodles with some sausage and bean sprouts in it.

It is customary not to go out to visit relatives on the first day of junior high school. This custom does not mean not to go out at home, but not to go out of the village, so women have to wait until the second day of junior high school if they want to go back to their natal home.

It is said that the first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the broom, and the broom cannot be used on this day, otherwise it will sweep away luck and ruin money, and attract the "broom star", which will lead to bad luck.If it is necessary to sweep the floor, it must be swept from the outside to the inside.On this day, you can't pour water outside to take out the garbage, for fear of losing money.Clean up on the New Year's Eve, no broom on the first day of the new year, no garbage dumping, a large bucket is prepared to hold the waste water, and no splashing on the day.

Just after the family had dinner, the door was jingled. Grandma Cui opened the door, and a group of little kids ran in quickly outside the door. They didn't look big, and they still had snot bubbles. Bibs, home for New Year greetings, used to hold pastries, pastries and candies from each family.

Mother Liu is not stingy, she grabbed a handful of candy for everyone when she saw Xiaowa coming, and gave some pastries and snacks. The Xiaowa in the village saw the benefits, and kept saying auspicious words, and then went out to publicize They said that they got a lot of things from which one, but they all knew that Qingli's family was generous, and within a while, they had already visited three or four times to call the little ones.

The little disciple Xi also changed into new clothes, took Dongwa together, and the two of them wore the bibs given by their mother Liu, and they also went from house to house. Poor will grab a handful of peanuts.

Qingli felt that she was already eight years old, not considered a baby, and she was determined not to come to ask for it. Many people even went to the patriarch's house, jokingly, just for that snack, depending on Mo Qingsu's face?How is that possible!

Qingli didn't go out, and stayed in the house with her second sister, who was using the Internet and practicing big characters. The first thing she did in the morning was to see if her elder brother had left. Seeing that his elder brother was still there, she felt relieved. Not much, but the eldest brother said that he will leave in the next year, and it will only be a few days.

After noon, people came to the house one after another. Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo Six were the first to come with Mo Zishan. They also grabbed two chickens in their hands, with joy on their faces. Wearing new clothes, he has already taken off the sad look he had a few months ago.

Parents were kind to Uncle Mo's cousin, brought tea and water, chatted for a while, Mo Zishan was also with Li Moxuan, talked about Chinese New Year, stayed for half an hour, and then went to the next house.

Most of the clansmen in Mojia Village are relatives, and they can’t make it all the way. Everyone usually greets each other on the road, and picks a few familiar people to pay New Year’s greetings. Just now Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo Six also gave She put all the Qingli red envelopes in the drawer of the dressing table. The money is not much, but it is a heart, and she wants to save it.

Dad Mo Ruhu is a learned man, with a high status in the village, and some people who don’t usually move around come to visit for New Year’s greetings. Dad entertains them one by one, and then talks with a smile. In the evening, he didn’t eat at grandma’s house , but opened fire to rebel at home.

Since I was a child, my family basically eats meat every meal, and sometimes several meat dishes are needed. The family members feel that it is greasy. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no meat added, and the family made another meal of dumplings filled with sauerkraut, or cornmeal. Mixed with fine white flour, it tastes delicious like the family members. Qingli somewhat understands why those rich men like to eat vegetarian food, because eating meat all day will feel greasy, unlike the peasants in the village, who eat it every month. She couldn't eat meat once, and she was full of desire for meat. When Qing Li first came here, her mouth would water when she mentioned meat.

In the evening, my mother sent the black eggs and a few gifts that I had saved to my grandma's house. Tomorrow, the whole family will go out, and only Grandma Cui will stay at home to watch the door.

It is not easy for a daughter who is married to go back to her natal home once. If she is far away, it is rare to see her once a year. Originally, her mother planned to go with her uncle, but she had to wait for her little girl Mo Guilan to come back. I also live in the same village as my daughter-in-law, Fu Caiyun, so it would be convenient to have company, so we made an agreement to go back on the third day of junior high school.

Mother Liu has already agreed with her grandmother on the second day of junior high school, maybe her family has been looking forward to it from morning to night, so she hasn't changed the date.

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, Fu Shun drove a carriage to pick up people on time. He was wearing new clothes, with rabbit fur gloves and a hat specially designed by Qingli for him. It's better to cover it tightly.
