The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 75

The Laba Festival is a very important festival for the countryside. It is a festival for everyone to worship ancestors and gods, and pray for a good harvest and auspiciousness.

Naturally, Linjia Village is no exception. The custom here is that after each household makes Laba porridge, the first bowl must be carried by the man of the family and placed in the ancestral hall of Linjia Village to bless the good weather and the health of Linjia Village in the coming year.Complete.After the man came home, he began to worship the ancestors.

Fang Yumin began to prepare the ingredients for Laba porridge on the day of Laqi.The material of this Laba porridge is to choose the grain harvested in the year, such as stem rice, corn, beans, peanuts, red dates and so on.

Because there is no limit to the materials used for Laba porridge, Fang Yumin is not limited to mud. She washed the japonica rice, corn, millet, red beans, mung beans, soybeans, peanuts, red dates, etc. and soaked them in warm water.After dinner, she began to cook the porridge. After the porridge was boiled, she simmered it slowly.Wait until the morning of the next day, add brown sugar, and the Laba porridge is ready.

According to the custom, Lin Qiulai took the first bowl of Laba porridge to the ancestral hall in Linjia Village with his two sons, Xiaoyang and Xiaoming.Women were not allowed to go, so Fang Yumin had to stay at home.

After killing the New Year pig last time, Fang Yumin asked Lin Qiulai and Xiao Ming to bring two hats made of gray rabbit fur to Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua to express their filial piety.When Xiao Ming came back, he was full of smiles, saying that the two elders were very happy to receive the gift, especially grandma, who was also very kind to him.

Fang Yumin didn't care if Zhang Cuihua was unhappy, she did this only for Xiao Ming.Children's minds are very sensitive and fragile, and Zhang Cuihua's old woman is partial to the sky, but Xiao Ming always thinks that he is not good enough, so grandma doesn't like him.Fang Yumin didn't want Xiao Ming to suffer psychological harm at a young age, although when he grew up and became sensible, he might understand that some people and some things are unreasonable.But now, Fang Yumin still wants to do more for him.

Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua lived in Lin Chunlai's house, and the activities of worshiping ancestors were naturally also carried out in Lin Chunlai's house.Fang Yumin put the already filled Laba porridge into the food box, and also wrapped some peanut candies and a few apples.Although Lin Qiu said that he could only bring Laba porridge, Fang Yumin felt that fruit and sugar are still needed for ancestor worship.

When Lin Qiu came and they came back, Fang Yumin had already changed clothes and was waiting for them.Lin Qiulai carried the food box and fruit, Fang Yumin took Xiaoyang and Xiao Ming's hand and went to Lin Chunlai's house together.

Laba is very cold this day, as the saying goes: "Laqi Laba, freeze to death 'begging'." The weather is so cold that dripping water can almost turn into ice.Fang Yumin, who was afraid of the cold, almost armed herself to the teeth. Similarly, she also wrapped Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang tightly.

Fang Yumin was wearing a royal blue knee-length padded jacket trimmed with white rabbit fur, and a gray rabbit fur hat on her neck.A colorful cotton scarf was wrapped twice around the neck, sealing the nose and mouth inside, only revealing a pair of bright and big eyes.She put on a pair of dark green cotton gloves, and the two little hands held by her wore gloves with a fat and cute puppy. Of course, the embroidery was not Fang Yumin's masterpiece, but Xiaohong's meticulous work. work.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang are dressed exactly the same, they are also Tang suits, royal blue padded jacket and trousers rolled with white fur, a rabbit fur scarf with one piece of gray and some white, and the same gray and white hat, which complements the roundness The little face is very cute.

Lin Qiulai was not as strong and healthy as Fang Yumin's mother and three, but at Fang Yumin's insistence, he still put on the newly made dark blue padded jacket and gray hat.

The family of four walked slowly, saying hello and auspicious words to the folks who also went to worship their ancestors with food boxes.As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, the taste of the new year becomes stronger and stronger, and every family is hurrying up to prepare the food for the new year.This year everyone has spare money because of sweet potato flour, so it is much easier to buy and prepare this year's goods than in previous years.Whether you are an adult or a child, everyone welcomes the new year with joy.

Fang Yumin's mother and son's dazzling attire completely different from that of the peasant family made many children envious and some daughters-in-law envious and jealous. At the same time, there were also many people who sincerely praised: "Oh, Xiaolian's hands are so clever, look at this The padded clothes are so beautifully made and so energetic to wear."

Fang Yumin smiled and said, "Where is it, my second sister-in-law and little red sister helped me make this, isn't it pretty?"

"Really?" Everyone was surprised, "Xia Lai's daughter-in-law and Xiao Hong's hands are so skillful, so beautiful. Is this rabbit fur?"

"Yes, you also know that my family raises rabbits. Our clothes are so beautiful thanks to the help of my second sister-in-law and little red sister." Fang Yumin said with a smile.

"Can I touch it?"

"Yes you can."

The women chatted together for a while, praised Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang for being so cute, and then waved away.

Such stop and go, it took a lot of time when Lin Qiulai's family arrived at Lin Chunlai's door.Just about to open the door and go in, he heard He calling them from behind: "Uncle, Xiao Lian. Xiao Yang, Xiao Ming, are you here at this time too?"

When Lin Qiulai and the others turned their heads, they saw Lin Xialai carrying a food box, and He Shi walked over smiling, pulling Xiaohua and Taohua one by one.

Xiaohua and Taohua wear the same jackets as Xiaoyang and Xiaoming, except that Taohua's jackets are bright pink.Rabbit fur is the most indispensable thing for rabbit owners.Furry children look good in clothes.

"Second Uncle (Brother), Second Sister-in-Law, you are here too." Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai didn't go in first, they smiled and waited for Lin Xia to come over before entering the house together.

After all the children came to say hello, they no longer let their mother hold hands. They haven't seen each other for a few days and have a lot to say.The four children looked very cute in the same clothes.

"Father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law. We are here." Lin Xialai and Lin Qiulai said loudly as he opened the door, Fang Yumin and He Shi followed behind with the children.

Soon Lin Chunlai came out with a smile: "Come in, it's cold outside."

"Okay, hehe."

"Hello, uncle."

"Good. Come in."

Lin Qiulai's family of four and Lin Xialai's family of four went directly to the house where Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua lived. As soon as they stepped into the living room, Fang Yumin saw that the fur hats they gave to the two elders were worn on Lin Chunlai's two. The son is on his head.

Fang Yumin's eyes flickered and he didn't speak. The cutting of these two hats was made by Mrs. He herself. She naturally knew that they were gifts from Fang Yumin's family, and her eyes flashed with astonishment, and she couldn't help but look at Fang Yumin.

After Lin Qiulai and Lin Xialai greeted Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua with their wives and children, they waited for Lin Daniu and Lin Chunlai to start worship activities.

Zhang Cuihua's eyes stayed on Fang Yumin's body for a while, and stayed on several children's bodies for a while, they flickered non-stop, and everyone could see what she was thinking.But now that it was about to worship, she was patient.

"Father, mother." Lin Qiulai opened the food box and brought out Laba porridge: "This is made by my family, and Xiao Lian even brought her peanut candy to worship."

"Peanut candy?" Before Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua could make a sound, Mrs. Hu called out.

I saw her strode over to pick up a piece, looked at it, smelled it and wanted to eat it, but Lin Chunlai hurriedly stopped her: "I haven't worshiped yet, what should I eat!"

Hu's embarrassed, explained: "It smells very sweet, I can't help but want to eat it." Turning to look at Fang Yumin, he said: "Xiao Lian, have you made a lot? You have a lot, give some to your mother-in-law .”

Fang Yumin smiled: "It's not that my sister-in-law doesn't know that sugar is so expensive, how can I make a lot of it? This is almost half of what I make, and I just want to give it to my parents-in-law and children to taste."

Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. He, and asked maliciously, "Didn't you give some to your second uncle's house?"

He didn't wait for Fang Yumin to speak, and said: "Xiao Lian is so kind, she will give us some to taste. However, my uncle and Xiao Lian work very hard to make money, and my family can't afford candy. How dare I ask others to give me more ?”

What He said made Hu's face black, but he couldn't attack.She just glanced at her mother-in-law and wanted her to help, but Zhang Cuihua was worried about Lin Daniu, after all, today is a big day for ancestor worship.

Lin Daniu snorted, then stood up and took his son and grandchildren to the room where the ancestral tablets were placed.The women who worshiped the ancestors were still not allowed to participate, only Zhang, Hu, Hu's youngest daughters Meihua, He, Taohua and Fang Yumin were left in the room.

Zhang Cuihua stared at the hat on Fang Yumin's head and said, "Daughter-in-law Qiulai, give this hat to Meihua to wear. You are an adult who can withstand the wind and cold, unlike a child, you will easily get sick when the cold wind blows."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu and Meihua looked at Fang Yumin earnestly.Fang Yumin touched the fluffy hat, smiled and said to Zhang Cuihua: "Grandmother, although I am an adult, my body has been so bad that I can't even conceive a child." I was on it, and my mother-in-law almost asked Qiulai to divorce me. How can I be as healthy as my mother-in-law? I gave the fur hats we made by ourselves to our two grandchildren to wear."

Zhang Cuihua's face turned dark when she heard that, she looked Fang Yumin up and down and said, "Your family doesn't lack these two hats, right? The hat on Taohua's head was not given by you? Why didn't you give one to Meihua?"

"Mother-in-law is joking again." Fang Yumin chuckled and said, "Second sister-in-law also has a lot of rabbits at home. This hat is naturally made by second sister-in-law for Peach Blossom, right, Peach Blossom?"

Tao Hua nodded and said, "Mother made it herself."

Zhang Cuihua looked at Fang Yumin's padded jacket again, and said slowly, "I'm so old, I don't even have a decent long padded jacket yet."

Fang Yumin raised her head and looked at Zhang Cuihua with a smile, and asked: "Grandma, you look like you wish I could give you all the clothes, hats, and scarves on my body. I want to say one thing, that is, Granny, you must not get our ideas."

"You!" Zhang Cuihua jumped up against the table and glared at Fang Yumin: "Who made your idea? Just that worthless hat? I don't even want it if I give it to me."

Fang Yumin pursed her lips and smiled: "My daughter-in-law knows. I asked my second sister-in-law to sew two down jackets for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to wear during the New Year. Since my mother-in-law doesn't care about it, I won't give one to my mother-in-law. Well, I will give it to you." Auntie, she has helped our family a lot, and the clothes are warm, I guess Auntie won't be disgusted."

Zhang Cuihua's face turns green and turns pale, He Shi and Taohua couldn't help lowering their heads and laughing when they saw it.
