In Northeast China, the Chinese New Year usually lasts for seven days.
Counting from New Year’s Eve to the sixth day of the New Year.
I usually go to my husband's house in the first few days and my parents' house in the last few days.
However, those born in the 1990s and 2000s also abandoned this tradition and switched between visiting their own parents’ home and their husband’s home.
Some families that don’t have elderly people will invite both families to celebrate the New Year together.
But in this era, it is inconvenient to leave the village.
The Chinese New Year usually lasts only three days.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people who need to visit relatives start walking around the streets.
Chaihe Brigade and Chaihe Village belong to the same place, so you don't need a letter of introduction to come and exchange ideas.
These two places are relatively lively.
Lu Xinghe got up early and started making dumplings for the whole family.
Generally, people start making dumplings on the night of the 30th and change the type on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
However, the Lu family has no children, so there is no one to watch at night, not to mention that there is also Mr. Cao, an old man who needs to rest early.
All we can do is start preparing early.
The leftover pork from before was made into meat.
Wash the sauerkraut several more times, mash it into stuffing and mix it together.
Add various seasonings and finally add two spoons of cooked lard.
While everyone was not paying attention, Lu Xinghe poured spiritual spring water into the meat filling.
Adding water is not as simple as just putting it in, but the meat filling must be stirred in one direction.
Add water a few drops at a time.
The dumplings made in this way have tender meat, thin skin, large fillings, and are full of juice.
The first day of the new year is a festive day and God is especially kind to it.
The sun was high in the sky early in the morning, the temperature rose and there was no wind at all.
"Grandpa, come in and eat. You can go out and dance with the aunts later."
Lu Xinghe went out and shouted towards the team.
Then he asked Ye Bufan to deliver two plates of freshly cooked dumplings to Mrs. Chang.
As for Su Xingruo and the other two, they left in a hurry after dinner yesterday.
One was from a forest farm, one was from the county, and the other was going to prepare to celebrate the New Year with his younger brothers.
The more dumplings you eat, the more wine you drink.
Mother Lu accompanied Grandpa Cao in drinking a little wine.
However, Lu Xinghe took Secretary Kong and called Ye Bufan who had just arrived and walked out of the house.
"Xinghe, what about the guy? Do you really want him to marry that idiot?"
Secretary Kong asked with a smile. The fat girl's incident yesterday was the topic of conversation at the dinner table.
To say that a girl who likes someone and whose father fights with her is a fool is to hold back.
Generally, people in the village call this kind of person Da Biaozi!
Biao means tiger, which means it has no brains.
"What can I do? I'll just think about sending these two Bodhisattvas away. But I need to discuss with you how to send them away."
"I think we should have a good talk. I think her sister is easy to talk to." Ye Bufan held the fried dough twist in his hand.
This was taken from Cao Guizhi's house. I don't know whether Cao Guizhi and Lu Xingkong have money.
Mrs. Chang is really rich.
Since she's here to celebrate the New Year, we can't not prepare anything for Cao Guizhi.
After all, this is also one of her helpers.
"Haha, she's easy to talk to?" Brother Kong almost spit out a mouthful of fried dough twist. "Xinghe, you only care about your own relationship, why don't you teach Bufan,
That woman is a smart person. It's impossible to negotiate with her. It's better to leave it to the fat girl.
I see she and the guy are both very good at chatting, and they seem to be a good match. "
"Okay, Brother Kong, I'll tell Wang Daiba what I said. You'll be done if he makes a fuss."
Lu Xinghe shook his head and smiled.
When Brother Kong heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
The weak are afraid of the stupid, the stupid are afraid of the aggressive, the aggressive are afraid of the desperate.
It seems that the king is at best a horizontal one.
They are all good brothers. If Wang Daihu gets the upper hand, he will really get angry with him.
Secretary Kong didn't want to argue with the little brat. He wouldn't obey no matter how hard he beat him or how hard he scolded him.
When it comes to dealing with this kind of person, Lu Xinghe is the only one who can handle it, but no one else has any idea how to deal with it.
The three of them chatted for a long time, then put their heads together.
It is said that when three men get together, an idea king will be randomly generated.
What's more, after discussing for a long time, they actually came up with a "good" idea.
"No, you two are a bit too dirty. Is this okay? How about finding a real person for him?"
Ye Bufan is a righteous man and still a virgin. He feels that Lu Xinghe and the others are really bad.
"Where can we find people during the New Year? The two young wives in the forest farm are at their in-laws' house. If we go there now, we will be beaten to death!"
Lu Xinghe didn't care whether Wang Daiba lived or died, he immediately ran into the house and started searching.
There are not many photos from this era, at most some black and white posters, or promotional posters for the county's independent cinema.
There were quite a few picture books before, but in those turbulent times, they were all burned in the stove by the family.
Lu Xinghe and Secretary Kong searched for a long time and finally found a Russian chocolate with a woman on it among the candies that Grandpa Cao gave to the two girls.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a woman. It's just an abstract big-headed doll, similar to the one on the chocolate in the back.
But the little girl in the back is a real person, and she was not born yet at that time.
In the final analysis, it looks like a nesting doll.
"No, brothers, please act like human beings. Is this really enough?"
"What can I do if it doesn't work? How about you go and help?"
When Ye Bufan heard this, he had already imagined that scene in his mind.
He was so frightened that he shuddered quickly.
The brothers had lived together in the mountains before, but no one wanted to live with Wang Daiba.
This tiger guy always likes to grab the crotch when he falls asleep at night.
Ye Bufan was robbed once.
He was so scared that he didn't dare to turn his butt towards Wang Daiba for several days.
Everything is ready.
The three of them said hello to their families and sneaked to Wang Daiba's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wang Daiba kneeling on the ground, and Xiuqin was sitting beside him, watching him with a smile.
The chubby girl and Shen Xiaomei were still eating dumplings one plate after another on the kang table.
Generally, families with children put money inside the dumplings when they make them during the Chinese New Year.
It’s not about making money, but whoever eats the money will have a smooth year.
As soon as they saw each other, they started competing with each other, and Aunt Wang, who was so distressed, burst into tears.
Dumplings are a delicacy for everyone, especially for people from Northeast China.
Dumplings are only made and eaten during festivals and when guests come.
The Wang family usually makes dumplings and eats them until after the Chinese New Year, and sometimes they even freeze some for next year.
But. . . . .
Since last night, the two little girls' stomachs have been like bottomless pits.
I almost bankrupted my family!
"Brother, come and save me, I've been kneeling all night! Wuuuuu, they won't let me get up."
Wang Dai regarded the sight of Lu Xinghe and the other two as a life-saving straw.
"Kneel down!"
Lu Xinghe didn't tolerate it either, and kicked Wang Daiba, who was about to stand up, back.
This Nima Xian was just done for Xiuqin to see. The Wang family is not stupid.
But look at Xiuqin, she is just eating melon seeds with a smile on her face, neither expressing her opinion nor refusing.
This is actually the most difficult thing to do.
