Rebirth of a farmer's daughter

Chapter 150 Juan'er's Fate

"Sister-in-law." As soon as Juan'er saw her, a rich smile appeared on her face, and she called in a low voice.

"Are you still used to the days over there?" Qian Jin held her hand and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Nodding her head, her face showed the shyness of a bride, but her heart was filled with sadness: after returning to the door, the first person who asked her if she was doing well was actually my sister-in-law.Ever since she entered the door, her mother has been greeting her outside, and she didn't even enter the house, let alone ask her these kind words.

"They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Seeing the disappointment in Juan'er's eyes, Qianjin asked in a low voice.

"No, they are all very kind to me." Juan'er showed a smile that reassured Qianjin, but she was sad in her heart: Their kindness is that they searched for everything that others gave them, including the cloth given by their aunt. The gold bracelet and gold hairpin from grandma, and the silver collar from my sister-in-law. Fortunately, she put the things my sister-in-law gave her in her natal home, otherwise, she would have nothing.

They are robbing them openly, saying that there is no separation, and all things must belong to everyone. She doesn't want to make her sister-in-law and grandma feel sad, but she can only hope that after giving them everything, her life will be easier.

"That's good!" Seeing that there was a smile on Juan'er's face, and seeing nothing wrong, Qian Jin nodded in relief.

After Juan'er's marriage, it will be almost Chinese New Year.

This year, the family has a new house, and life is better than before. This makes Mrs. Yu very happy, and said that this year he will do a sugar lottery.

The sugar lot is made of glutinous rice flour and early rice flour mixed with brown sugar, steamed in a pot, and then carved with wood patterns, which can be in the shape of "flowers of prosperity", "blessings and longevity" and various flowers, such as Plum blossoms, lotus flowers, chrysanthemums, etc. are beautiful and varied, and they can be stored for a long time. They are a rare delicacy.

Although the sugar lot is made of brown sugar, it can be sautéed with meat oil, add salt, and minced green onion and ginger. The taste is also excellent.The next step is the authentic way, stir-fried with meat oil, add brown sugar and eggs, the taste is sweet and fragrant, the sugar lotus is soft and delicious, it is a favorite delicacy for children and the elderly.

"Wow, it's really beautiful." Seeing the patterns on the sugar lottery, Qian Jin couldn't help but admire.

"Hehe..." Seeing that she looked like a child, Yu sighed inwardly, "I have suffered so much for you all these years!"

"Mother, okay, what are you talking about?" She doesn't like to hear these things, she always feels that life is looking forward, and she always thinks about the hard times in the past, isn't she sincerely making life difficult for herself.

"Mother loves you so much, I haven't even eaten this candy lot." When Yu said this, she thought of the old days, and said with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "When your grandma was here, she was best at making candy." The lottery and the cake tube are well-known in your uncle's house."

When she was not married, she lived a good life, her parents loved her, and she used to eat this candy lot, but after marrying into the Zhou family, she was oppressed by the poverty, and she didn't even forget the taste of candy.If it weren't for the good times this year, she really wouldn't have thought of doing this.

"It's not too late to eat now, Wood, don't you think so?" Seeing that Mu Mu didn't know where his soul had gone, he just added firewood to it mechanically, so he leaned in front of him and asked curiously: "I'm thinking What, so ecstatic?"

"Oh." Zhou Zimu came back to his senses and looked at Qianjin and said, "I was just thinking about when my parents and I were celebrating the New Year outside, and found that every place is different for the New Year. Some families have to prepare pig's head and pig's tail. , there are some places to put fish..."

"Yes." Hearing what Zhou Zimu said, Yu said, "Above my mother's house, there is a small mountain village, and the customs there are even more strange. The dishes served during the New Year are all put in bowls, which are called eight bowls. It's related to the Eight Immortals..."

"Is it the Eight Immortals in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?" Qianjin tilted her head and asked curiously.

"En!" Yu Shi nodded.

"Mother, what are the eight dishes in the eight bowls!" Qian Jin asked curiously, she had never heard of this.

"The eight bowls are lotus seed picking, Xiangzi sea cucumber, Zhongli fanwan meat, Guojiu pickled carp, Dongbin big fish, Tieguai knocking meat, Xiangu pork skin soaking, and Guolao tofu. They are the first dishes for Chinese New Year and festive occasions. Yes." When Yu said this, seeing Qianjin's eyes shining brightly looking at her, she became interested, and continued to say: "It is said that when the Eight Immortals were going back to the Immortal Residence, they passed by the village to hold a wedding. One person cooks one dish to express congratulations, leaving the current eight bowls."

When Qian Jin heard it, her eyes narrowed and she muttered, "Whenever I have a chance, I want to taste those eight bowls..."

"Greedy little cat, the world is so big, even the customs of the New Year and the festival are different from village to village, are you able to eat it?" Mrs. Yu scratched her nose angrily and teased.

"Cold." Rubbing her nose, she complained pitifully.

"Qianjin, what mother said is right. The difference is really big. For example, in the fishing village not far from us, you have to drink ginger juice to make eggs during the Chinese New Year, in order to drive away the cold and dampness." Because of the places I have been to There were too many, Zhou Zimu opened the knot in his heart, and was willing to talk to them, so what Yu knew was that he had seen a lot.

"Egg with walnut and ginger juice." Qian Jin said subconsciously when she heard this, and swallowed hard, feeling that she was really hungry.

Fragrant walnuts are paired with tender eggs and slightly spicy ginger juice. The taste is sweet and can swallow people's tongues... Woohoo, this is her favorite, wood, bad boy, tempting her on purpose of.

Seeing Qianjin's greedy face, both Yu Shi and Zhou Zimu laughed. "Other things are not easy to make, but this ginger-sweetened egg is easy to make. If you want to eat it, mother will make it for you tomorrow."

"Okay!" Swallowing, she didn't push it pretentiously, and nodded directly.

Mrs. Yu made a lottery and gave some to each family, including Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu, as well as Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang's family, and there were about ten yuan left for her own family.

Then, make rice cakes, fish balls, meatballs...the Laba Festival is interspersed in the middle, but Qianjin knows that the fishing village is not just Laba, so just prepare everything quietly and wait for the arrival of the New Year.

This year, Qianjin's family lived extremely well, at least they had a new house to live in, new clothes to wear, and delicious food to eat, much better than previous years.

"I hope we will be better every year!" Saying the New Year's celebration words, the daughter toasted and laughed.

Two years later, Qianjin was 15 years old.

The 15-year-old Qianjin was having a headache, facing Zhou Zimu's pitiful eyes and Yu's nagging forced marriage every day, she went completely crazy.

Fifteen, the bones are not fully grown yet, she would not want to marry even if she was killed, so she tried her best to tell Zhou Zimu that when she was 16, she would definitely marry him, but when she was 15, let her have a good time first.

Zhou Zimu didn't refuse, nor did he agree, but he almost softened her heart with his resentful eyes.In the face of Yu's nagging, she could still bite the bullet and refute her, but Zhou Zimu's soft way made her almost nod her head.

Not to mention fifteen, even sixteen she was a little entangled, but the main reason was that when she was fifteen, Zhou Zimu was already 23, and if she didn't have a baby, she would become an old man.

The daughter is finally in pain, and feels that if she finds an older man, isn't it putting pressure on herself?Now, Mrs. Yu is completely in favor of Zhou Zimu, ignoring her at all, thinking that all the faults are on her, which makes her speechless, and she doesn't even bother to say a word of defense.

"In a few days, Juan'er will give birth. If the Huang's family comes to report, I have to go and see. Juan'er's mother will definitely not want to take care of it." In the past few years, the Wang family has become more and more depressed, and there is something wrong with her mind. He was counting money with Zhou Hong, and he didn't even want to take care of his son, or because Huier knew that, he often came here to eat, so he wouldn't be hungry.
