After a while, Liu Ankang pointed at the sesame cake again.
"What's wrong with you today, kid? Why are you so greedy? Don't you see that the adults are shopping?" Song Jinxiu said to Liu Ankang.
"It doesn't matter. We have bought almost everything. Now we are just strolling around." said Lai Di's aunt.
"I'm so sorry, auntie. This child is not like this usually." Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. He's just a child. It's normal." The aunts waved their hands, and Song Jinxiu took Liu Ankang to buy sesame cakes.
"You can't do this next time, okay? Just go wherever you go and buy things. There are so many people here, it would be awkward to keep your aunt waiting." She kept muttering to Liu Ankang as she walked.
At the next market, Song Jinxiu would buy whatever Liu Ankang pointed to.
"Why do I feel that Xiao Song is happier than Niu Wazi?" said Lai Di's aunt as she looked at the two happy people.
"She has a name now. She's going to be called An'an." Aunt Cuihua said. "Hahaha! You just realized that they are both still children."
Song Jinxiu never left everyone's sight today, and Liu Ankang followed her closely.
When buying things, the stalls are always very close. If they are a little far away, Song Jinxiu would rather pass them by than buy from them.
Song Jinxiu was a little afraid of her own accident-prone constitution. Now she thought anyone on the street might be a bad person.
Except when I’m buying things, shopping makes me happy! Hahahaha!!
Then Song Jinxiu suddenly remembered that she had just passed away, so she couldn't put up red couplets this year.
As for clothes, I have always worn plain clothes, and the materials I bought later were all dark in color.
"Auntie," Song Jinxiu pulled Aunt Cuihua. "I want to ask if there's a place in town that sells yellow paper? My father passed away mid-year, and I want to burn some for him."
Aunt Cuihua thought about it, said hello to a few people, and everyone went to a store that specializes in funeral supplies.
Song Jinxiu bought two rolls of yellow paper, incense and candles, and several sets of clothes, for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Several aunts also bought some. After all, everyone has an elder who has passed away in their family.
Afterwards, everyone returned home safely.
When she got home, Aunt Cuihua saw that she didn't understand, so she stayed and told her that if she was willing, she could fold the yellow paper into gold ingots.
Also, it must be completed before the 23rd, and you cannot go out to visit friends and relatives between New Year's Eve and the third day of the New Year.
The kids don't care.
Song Jinxiu asked Aunt Cuihua to teach her twice and she learned it. Since she is offering sacrifices, she should show some sincerity.
Just consider it as fulfilling your filial duty on behalf of your original self.
For the next two days, Song Jinxiu folded gold ingots at home. At first, she was not very skilled and was very slow. But later, she became faster and faster.
But she herself was not a very skillful person, so it took her a day and a half to fold two pieces of yellow paper.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, Song Jinxiu prepared a sumptuous meal and placed cakes and fruits in the middle of the living room.
"I can't go to your grave in person, so I have to do this instead. I hope you are doing well in the grave."
Song Jinxiu said, and then burned the gold ingots in her hand one by one.
Not to mention the original owner's feelings, even her memories of the original owner are scattered.
After finishing their work, the two of them had lunch in the kitchen.
On the 23rd, the New Year atmosphere is already very strong.
The children were running around happily every day, their hands were always busy, and they often brought some snacks from home.
Song Jinxiu makes sugar dumplings at home.
The sugar buns here are not filled with sugar, but sugar is mixed with glutinous rice flour and then steamed together.
After steaming, the whole sugar bun is sweet, soft, sweet and delicious. It is about the size of a palm.
It will turn into powder when it cools down. It will become hard after two or three days, but it will become soft again if you steam it again.
If you don’t want to make breakfast in the future, just steam a few and you’ll be done with it.
On the 24th, her house was new and only needed a little tidying up. She prepared to make dumplings.
Yesterday I asked Dalinzi to secretly buy 50 kilograms of meat for me.
I plan to use ten pounds of meat and cabbage to make dumplings, and make the rest into braised meat.
These dumplings are to thank those people for saving my life last time.
I've been thinking about it for a long time but I don't know what to give as a gift. It won't be good if it's too light or too heavy.
Why not treat everyone to some dumplings?
I already chopped the meat and washed the vegetables yesterday. Today, all I have to do is chop the vegetables, mix the stuffing, and make the dumplings.
Kneading the dough from the morning is really hard work.
Song Jinxiu kneaded ten pounds of flour in three batches until her hands became soft.
Thinking about having to make so many dumplings, Song Jinxiu felt even gloomier.
However, thinking of his life-saving grace, he still started making dumplings with great enthusiasm.
"An An, can you wrap it?" Song Jinxiu asked Liu Ankang who was sitting opposite her.
Liu Ankang shook his head. "But you can learn it. It doesn't look difficult. If I don't help, how long will it take for her to do it?"
Liu Ankang got the hang of it quickly. Except that the first bag he made was a bit ugly, he got into the groove from the second one.
"You're amazing!" Song Jinxiu praised. "I remember when I first learned to make dumplings, I wasted several wrappers."
Liu Ankang pursed his lips and kept wrapping his hands.
The wrapped ones are placed on a winnowing basket, which is a winnowing basket with relatively high edges and a layer of washed banana leaves inside.
Dustpans can be stacked layer by layer without being crushed.
This was what Song Jinxiu asked Dalinzi to help find. It can hold more than sixty of them on one floor.
"It doesn't seem to be that cold these days. Everyone is wearing thin coats."
"I noticed a lot of kids were wearing new clothes this year. Do you think we started it? Hehe!"
"Did you have such a lively New Year celebration before?"
"Are you used to spending the New Year with me this year?"
"What a pity! I haven't been up the mountain much this year. You can take me there in the spring."
"I don't know if there are pheasants or rabbits in the mountains."
"Can you set traps? Snares? Bear traps or something like that?"
"I'm a little thirsty, would you like some water?"
"Why are you just listening to me talking here? Why don't you recite a poem to me?"
The two of them were bored making dumplings, and Song Jinxiu kept talking to Liu Ankang.
Liu Ankang was still reluctant to speak, and only responded with a word or two from time to time.
Anyway, it was just a way to kill time, so Song Jinxiu said whatever came to her mind.
"Man is born good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..." The child's soft voice sounded.
Although Liu Ankang is not talkative, he is very clear when he is asked to read and recite.
From the hoarse voice at the beginning to the clear voice now, Song Jinxiu feels very satisfied.
It turns out that her little An An’s voice is so nice.
After finishing teaching a comic book, Song Jinxiu realized belatedly that the words on it seemed a little sloppy.
It seems that children should start learning from regular script!
So I gave him another copy of the Three Character Classic to learn, and after he finished learning the Three Character Classic, he moved on to the Thousand Character Classic.
The fountain pen was also replaced with a pencil. Oh, it’s really stressful to be a parent for the first time.
If you learn all these words, you will basically be able to read without any difficulty.
