Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 67 Making Dumplings

In the days that followed, Yun Song led his sons to tidy up the deserted yard every day. Yu Xian and Wu Shi stayed at home with Fang Shi. It gets better every day.

On the third day of October, the long-lost first snow came late, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. The whole world was covered with white and white.This year's snow is more than ten days later than in previous years. After this snow, the old people in the village feel relieved. They all said that if there is less snow in winter, there will be floods in the coming year, and this time they will not be afraid.

When it snowed, many children in the village were playing snowball fights, making snowmen, and putting sledges on the slope. Dalang and Yun Song went to clean up the snow in the yard together.The yard was almost cleaned up, and the dust in each room had been wiped clean. Later, it was found that there were two kangs in the front yard that were no longer working. Tong Yunsong removed these kangs and put them on again.Now the fire is burning every day, and the kang is half dry.Now only the windows have not been pasted with paper, Yun Song asked the Li family who was driving the car to bring back a lot of paper to paste the windows.

Everyone in the village knew that Yun Song was going to live in the ghost house, and they had different opinions for a while, saying everything.Some said that the Yunsong family was so courageous that they even dared to live in a haunted house, and that something might happen soon after they lived in it.Some also said that the house can be occupied by others, maybe the Yunsong family can live in it.The most talked about is that Mr. Tong's family is too ruthless, they don't give Yun Song a house to live in, forcing Yun Song to live in a haunted house.There is not much work in this winter, and the northerners are idle at home in winter. This is called Maodong, and of course it is also a good time to visit, so the matter about the Tong family is now a hot topic among people in Yanjiang Village and Xijiang Village.The old man Tong didn't dare to go out. He used to play chess with some old men in the village in the winter, draw cards or something, but this year he didn't go anywhere and only smoked at home.The whole room was full of smoke, and when Qin saw it, she started nagging again.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, shopkeeper Fang came again, and gave Fang a pulse. He said that the situation was good, so he rewrote the prescription and handed it to Da Lang.Before leaving, I told Yuxian that there was no need to use ginseng for Fang.Yuxian asked shopkeeper Fang to sell the remaining ginseng plant. Shopkeeper Fang hesitated and asked Yuxian if she had considered it.

"Uncle Fang, we separated, and we brought back twenty acres of land and three thousand catties of grain. But there are eight people in my family, and when my brothers are growing up, the grain is not enough. The vegetables we eat now It was also sent by the neighbors in the neighborhood, but you can’t always ask for others, right? I’m going to move soon, and I need to buy some household items for living, and next year I’ll have to prepare seeds for spring plowing, so which one doesn’t cost money? That’s why I thought about taking ginseng Sell ​​it, save the emergency, and deal with it next year." Yuxian told shopkeeper Fang about the family affairs.

"Okay then, I'll help you sell it, but if you want to sell it at a higher price, it's best to sell it in the capital. I'll go back to the capital after a while and help you sell it along the way." Shopkeeper Fang After hearing this, I also think that buying ginseng is the best way.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang. In fact, the real meaning of medicinal materials is to save people. It would be a waste to just put them there." Yuxian said happily.

"Okay, I'm going back, let Da Lang go with me, and he will figure out his own way when he comes back."

Yu Xian took 20 taels of silver for Da Lang, a total of seven days of medicine. It's okay if you don't take more money, and you can't always let others give it to you.He gave him some copper coins so that he could hitch a ride when he came back.Da Lang took the money and followed Shopkeeper Fang away.

On the seventh day of October, all Tong's family went to Tong Yunhe's house except for Yunsong's family. Tomorrow is Zhao Yueyao's wedding day, so they all went to have a wedding.Tong Yunsong's family couldn't go due to something, so Fang asked Yuxian to find a hairpin and gave it to Zhou, who then asked Zhou to hand it over to Yueyao.As soon as these people left, only Yun Song and the others were left in the entire Tong family. The yard was quiet and quiet, and there were no shouts from Junjie, let alone Qin's scolding.Yuxian was very happy, just when Dalang bought a piece of meat from the town, Yuxian made dumplings to eat.Mrs. Wu also agreed, so the grandpa and grandson were busy chopping meat and vegetables in the kitchen, having a great time.Dalang and the others also deliberately came back early to help, although they are boys, but Dalang is not slow at all in making dumplings. The dumplings brought out by everyone were neatly placed on the curtain.The whole family happily made dumplings, everyone got some white flour on their bodies, and Yu Xian's face was stuck to it for some reason, so Xiao Si laughed at her little cat.After a while, the dumplings full of two large curtains were wrapped.Yun Song led Da Lang to boil water, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu chopped garlic, and Yun Song mashed it into mashed garlic.After a while, the water boiled, and Mrs. Wu started to make dumplings. The snow-white dumplings were floating in the water, making people's mouth water.The water in the pot was boiled three times, and Mrs. Wu took out the dumplings with a strainer, without using a plate, and directly fished them into the covered curtain, and then carried the covered curtain into the room and put them on the table, and everyone gathered around the covered curtain. eat dumplings.

Yuxian put a large plate for her mother and put it on the kang, "Mother, you can't eat garlic sauce, just eat it like this, the stuffing is not weak anyway."

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want. It's better to eat dumplings than to be delicious. It's better to be upside down if you're comfortable. Mom has it all now, so what else do you want?" Fang joked.

Everyone ate very happily. Today's dumplings are stuffed with cabbage. They are very delicious and packed a lot. Everyone opened their mouths to eat.Xiaosi ate and said, "It's better to separate the family, you can eat whatever you want, and you can still eat it. We used to eat dumplings, each of us only had ten dumplings, and the taste disappeared as soon as we ate it. "Everyone was taken aback by what he said, Yun Song felt a little sad, didn't he?In the past, no matter what time it was, even during the Chinese New Year, the Qin family would distribute dumplings to everyone.Each of the children in the family can share ten. After eating, they can only stare at the rest of the plate and dare not move any more. Is never to clip again.But Junjie and the others didn't care about that, even if Qin scolded them, they would eat again.

"In the future, our family will never eat separately. No matter what we have, we will eat together." Yun Song said.

"Yes, our family doesn't do that. The entire family can't even eat a good meal. From now on, whether it's eating bran-swallowed vegetables or big fish and meat, we'll eat together. Everyone earns money together, and everyone eats together." Yuxian also agrees.

"Okay, let's work hard together, I don't believe we can't live a good life." The brothers said in unison.

Wu's tears of joy swirled in her eyes, "I finally waited for this day. From the day your mother got married, I have been looking forward to such a day that your mother can make her own decisions, not be coerced by others, and live a comfortable life of her own." , I finally looked forward to it.”

Fang Shi was also a little excited on the kang, and couldn't stop crying. "Mother, you can't cry. You are the same as confinement. Be careful that you will damage your eyes." Yuxian heard this, and hurriedly climbed onto the kang to comfort her mother.

Wu also got up to comfort her daughter. The whole family persuaded Fang, and Fang stopped crying after a while. She had been suppressed for a long time, and she felt much better after venting this way.

After the meal, the family sat together and chatted affectionately, and they didn't go to bed until the end of the day.

The yard has already been cleaned up. Fortunately, the furniture is ready-made, so there is no need to make it again, which saves a lot of time.The window paper has also been pasted up, and the inside and outside of the house have been tidied up.Yun Song would go to burn the fire every day to prevent the kang from cooling down, so that the house would not be too cold when it was time to move.

In the rest of the time, Yun Song took his sons into the mountains, hunted when they encountered prey, and brought back some firewood if they could not find them.There are plenty of logs in the mountains, but to collect firewood, you must be able to pick up the ones that have died for some reason.This can be done quickly without damaging the forest. Fortunately, there are many such trees in the forest, and one or two can be carried out every day.When he caught prey, Da Lang went to the town to sell it, and bought some things for his family on the way back.

After the rest of the Tong family attended the wedding, the sisters-in-law and sister-in-law all returned to their natal homes by coincidence, leading their husbands and children.Shuzhen didn't return home for three days, this time she said she wanted to go back and stay for a longer period of time.So Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Qin came back after Yueyao returned to the house. When they came back, Mrs. Qin cooked and cleaned up the house by herself. I haven't done any work, and now I can't straighten my tired waist.Fortunately, Tong Yunsong took care of the yard, otherwise there would be more work.

Mrs. Qin was exhausted every day, and saw that Yunsong and the others were able to bring back a lot of prey at every turn. Sometimes they would leave some for Fang's health, and the rest of Dalang would be sold in the town, and they would come back after selling. He came back with a lot of things.Qin's heart became unbalanced again, and she pointed at Sang and Huai every now and then and scolded: "Unconscionable beasts, a pack of wolf cubs, ungrateful things. This time I got what I want, and everyone has no eyes for others. I haven’t lived well yet, if I live well, my eyes won’t open up to the sky? Hmph, what’s so good about it? If you live in a broken haunted house, you won’t be afraid of being caught by ghosts in the middle of the night?” Anyway, every day That's it.

Mrs. Wu couldn't stand listening to her in the Westinghouse.She had never lived in Tong's house before. Although she knew that Qin would sometimes curse, she never expected her mouth to be so bad. Wu wanted to go out and talk to Qin.Fang held back her mother, "Mother, it's only ten days or eight days, we won't be staying here, so we don't need to get angry with her. Let's live our life happily, and she will scold her as much as she likes." Cursed. I guess it must be that no one is working at home, and she is tired from the busy work inside and outside the house. She hasn't done any work since I came in, so it's no wonder she isn't tired."

After listening to her daughter's persuasion, Mrs. Wu also felt that it was not worth being so angry, so let it go.

But Mr. Tong heard it, and said to Qin: "Tell me if you can calm down for a while, Yunsong's family can do enough. We went out for five or six days, and the pigs and chickens in the house were all Yunsong's." Song helped to feed them, otherwise they would have starved to death these days. Now that the families have been separated, they can live their own lives well.”
