I Reached the Pinnacle of Life in the 60s by Raising Children

Li Qingyun transmigrated into a book she had read, becoming the male supporting character's early-deceased, vicious biological mother. She took on the responsibility of caring for and educating...

Chapter 64 Doubao, change of name

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Qingyun got up very early.

She plans to make a few baskets of sticky rice dumplings today and distribute them to her neighbors as gifts for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival.

As we spent more time together, I became familiar with some of the families in the village. Although I couldn’t afford to send them mooncakes during the festivals, I could send them some sticky rice dumplings as a token of my appreciation.

I didn’t have time to make breakfast, so I just drank milk, ate eggs and ate yesterday’s leftover steamed buns to make do.

After breakfast, Gu Tingzhou sent Dabao to Cheng's house, and she and Pan Di started making sticky rice dumplings.

They are going to make two kinds of sticky rice dumplings today, one made of yellow rice flour and the other made of glutinous rice flour.

Last night she had taken out red beans, peanuts, purple rice and black rice and soaked them in well water overnight. Now she just needed to wash them, drain them slightly, add some chopped hazelnuts and corn kernels and steam them together.

Take it out of the pot while it is still hot, add sugar and mix well, then add some glutinous rice flour and mix well, roll it into small balls, then use your hands to shape it into the shape of steamed buns, finally coat it with a layer of glutinous rice flour and steam it.

After steaming the glutinous rice flour bean buns, you can start making the yellow rice bean buns.

Mix corn flour and yellow rice flour in a certain proportion, knead the dough with cold water, and "ferment" it like making white flour steamed buns. When it emits a sour smell, start kneading the dough with your hands.

While the dough is resting, cook the red beans and kidney beans, mash them into red bean paste, add sugar, and shape them into walnut-sized filling balls.

Finally, wrap the bean filling with kneaded yellow rice flour, shape it into a bean bun shape, and steam it over high heat for 20 minutes.

The two sisters had planned to do this for the day, but unexpectedly, Wangdi and her husband suddenly arrived at noon.

Wangdi brought pumpkin cakes and hazelnut cakes that she made herself, saying that tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival and she wanted to give gifts to her two sisters in advance. She had already returned to her parents' home early in the morning and rushed over after giving the gifts.

Yu Gui was not good at speaking, so he just followed her stupidly, called her sister and brother-in-law, and started looking for things to do.

Li Qingyun poured some sugar water for Wangdi to drink and asked her to rest. It was difficult for her to walk all the way with a five-month-old belly.

Yu Gui was strong and helped to knead the yellow rice flour. Gu Tingzhou lit the fire and watched the sticky rice dumplings in the pot. The three sisters prepared the fillings, chatted and laughed, and by noon they had finished making all the rice dumplings.

A total of six large baskets of bean buns were steamed, all of which were taken out of the pot and placed in a winnowing basket to dry. A sweet aroma spread in the yard.

"There are plenty of sticky bean buns today. You can eat some first. It's too late to make rice now. I'll make some noodles with臊子." Li Qingyun picked up the last basket of sticky bean buns and put them into the winnowing basket.

There was a can of spicy pork sauce at home, so she fried an egg sauce and cooked a pot of noodles, and each of them scooped a big bowl.

After a tiring morning, everyone ate with relish. Even though they had already eaten a few sticky rice dumplings, they still finished the whole bowl of noodles.

"Brother-in-law, why did I hear you call me sister Qingyun just now?" After having a good meal and a good drink, Wangdi suddenly asked in confusion.

Gu Tingzhou realized he had spoken too quickly and was about to explain when Li Qingyun interrupted him, saying, "I was just about to tell you all that I've changed my name. From now on, I'll be called Li Qingyun. I've been called Li Zhaodi for twenty-three years, and I've had enough."

"Can I change my name myself?" There was obvious longing in Pan Di's eyes, and she asked timidly.

"Big sister, your new name is so nice. I also want to change mine. Wangdi, Wangdi, it sounds so ugly. When people hear it, they know that my family wants a younger brother.

What's wrong with girls? Girls are also treasures and can hold up the sky. When the three of us were at my mother's house, each of us could be as good as three Li Debaos. "

Wangdi said with some indignation that she was more courageous than Pandi in expressing and revealing her true feelings.

"How about, the three of us sisters change our names? There's no need to ask for anyone's opinion. We can be the masters of our own lives." Li Qingyun suggested.

"Okay, I agree. The name you came up with is very nice, why don't you give us one too?

I also like the word "qing" in the middle. It sounds clean and pleasant. How about we do the same with the middle word, just change the last character and it will be fine."

When Wangdi mentioned changing her name, she danced with joy.

Pan Di also nodded in agreement. She also wanted to change her name, just like being reborn and living a new life.

Li Qingyun lowered his head and thought for a while.

"From now on, the eldest sister will be called Li Qinghuan, and the second sister will be called Li Qingyue. How about it?

Huan means joy and happiness.

Yue also means happy and joyful.

I hope my two sisters will be happy in the future." Li Qingyun sincerely wishes the two sisters a happy life.

"It sounds nice, so nice, sister. I didn't expect you to be so good at naming. I like this name so much, Li Qingyue, it's really nice. I will change my household registration name to this one when I get back.

Yu Gui, don't call me Wang Di anymore. From now on, my name is Qing Yue. Everyone remember this, don't make any mistakes."

The second sister, Li Qingyue, was as happy as a little child when she got a new name. She told this and that, and she even wanted to pull out the baby in her belly and tell it to everyone.

The eldest sister Li Qinghuan was calmer, but she could not hide the joy in her eyes.

She has escaped from the clutches of the Han family, her legs have healed, the scars on her body have scabbed over, and she even has such a beautiful new name. Can she really get a new life?

Li Qinghuan was a little confused, but also secretly happy. Everything was getting better and better. No matter what, she still had two sisters around her, and they would never dislike her.

They chatted for the whole afternoon and after they had rested enough, Yu Gui prepared to take Qingyue back.

Qingyun felt a little reluctant to leave her. It was rare to meet a sister with such a compatible personality, but she couldn't see her often.
