The much-anticipated moment has finally arrived.
When the dumplings came out of the pot, Song Jinxiu had just pulled out a piece of skin. Thinking it would be bad to throw it back, she quickly wrapped one.
Then he kicked Liu Ankang and gave him a look. "Let's go wash our hands together!" Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to go eat.
Liu Ankang glanced at her. Are you still embarrassed?
The two of them washed their hands and went to Aunt Cuihua.
She was turning them over one by one and setting them aside. Just leave them like this in a well-ventilated place.
It won't go bad even if you keep it for more than half a month.
"Why are you looking at me? Go eat!" Aunt Cuihua said to the two of them.
"Let's eat together when you're done." Song Jinxiu said.
She didn't dare to help because the freshly baked chive cake was very hot and she couldn't flip it.
"No need. After I turn them over, I will put new ones in to steam. You guys eat them first. They taste better when they are hot right out of the oven." Aunt Cuihua said.
"Uncle, uncle, it's time to eat leek cake!" Song Jinxiu shouted into the house.
"You guys eat first, I'll be there soon!" The village chief's voice came from the house.
"Brother Dazhu, it's time to eat leek cake!" Song Jinxiu called to Dazhu again.
"Oh, you still remember to call me. I thought you would forget me." Dazhuzi said while washing his hands.
"How can that be! I'm a polite and good kid." I'm a good kid with a red scarf fluttering on my chest!
"Wow, Niu Dan is so punctual. You have a dog nose, right?" Song Jinxiu said, pinching Niu Dan's nose.
We came back just as we were about to eat!
"How could that be? I heard your voice from far away." Niu Dan struggled free and was about to take the chive cake to eat.
"Go wash your hands." Song Jinxiu grabbed the back of his collar. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get free.
"Please let go. Otherwise, how can I wash my hands?" Niu Dan turned around and said to Song Jinxiu.
"Hehe, I forgot!" Song Jinxiu let go of her hand without any apology.
In fact, Niu Dan happened to pass by the door and heard Song Jinxiu's voice.
He immediately said hello to his friends and went home to eat. When the other friends heard this, they also went back home to find food.
A group of people happily ate a meal of chive cakes, which was their lunch.
No, it was just Song Jinxiu and Niu Dan’s lunch. The others stopped after eating a little.
Then I simmered some potatoes and stewed a bowl of vegetables to fill my stomach.
Song Jinxiu put on her happy mask again and continued to make chive cakes.
After eating and drinking enough, I really don’t want to work!
Strength lies in numbers, and we finally finished wrapping everything at around 3:00 p.m.
Mix the remaining chives with the flour just used to pinch the skin in the basin (when wrapping chive cakes, touch your hands with flour to avoid getting them stained) and steam them in a pot. It will be another delicious food.
After packing up everything, Song Jinxiu went home happily, followed by Liu Ankang carrying a chicken and Da Zhuzi carrying two baskets of chive cakes.
The chicken belonged to Song Jinxiu, and Aunt Cuihua's family also wanted to kill a chicken, so they brought it over to be blanched together.
At noon on the 29th day of the lunar year, Song Jinxiu boiled a large bucket of mugwort water for Liu Ankang to take a bath.
Washing with mugwort water during the New Year is also a custom here.
On New Year's Eve, as long as you take a bath, you will be considered celebrating the New Year. This year, it is only the 29th, so it will be the same.
So children would ask adults to boil water for them to take a bath early in the day.
This year everyone had new clothes. After taking a bath, we could put on our new clothes and then go out to play with our friends happily.
Liu Ankang, who had just taken a bath, was also sent out to play. Song Jinxiu could hear the screams and laughter of the children outside even at home. It was very lively.
Song Jinxiu was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at home, and it had to be a sumptuous one.
Song Jinxiu prepared six dishes today.
A whole chicken was boiled and placed on a plate. In order to make the fish complete, Song Jinxiu planned to steam it.
These two dishes are not eaten and are placed on the dining table.
The next four dishes prepared will be dinner for tonight.
After having breakfast early today, Song Jinxiu also went to take an mugwort bath.
Then he sent a red envelope to Liu Ankang.
A must-have for Chinese New Year!
The two of them stayed up all night, ate something to fill their stomachs, and went to bed!
I had thought I could sleep in since I had nothing to do the next day, but I heard intermittent sounds of firecrackers early in the morning.
Song Jinxiu had no choice but to get up.
She couldn't go out these days and had to stay at home. She kept the door open during the day on New Year's Day to welcome people who came to pay New Year's greetings.
There will definitely be no one coming to pay New Year’s greetings this year, but the door still has to be open.
Song Jinxiu was bored and eating melon seeds at home. Liu Ankang had already been sent out to play.
Song Jinxiu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and played a game on the table.
A skinny melon seed said to a fat melon seed, "I heard that you bullied my brother?"
Fatty Melon Seed said proudly, "With your small body, I can beat two more of them just as well."
Then the two melon seeds started fighting, and the thin seed beat the fat seed into kernels.
Guaziren cried and said, "How dare you take off my clothes? I'm going to tell my brother."
It turns out that the melon seed kernel is actually a girl.
Melon Seed was walking with his brother when they saw a fat melon seed.
"It's him." Guaziren pointed with her finger, and her brother went up and started beating Fat Guazi.
He knocked Fatty Melon Seed down directly. Melon Seed Ren walked over and said proudly, "Don't think I won't recognize you just because you put on a few more clothes."
At this time, Fat Melon Seed's brothers and sisters came, and Melon Seed's brothers and sisters also came. When both sides saw the situation, they started fighting.
Hair was pulled, clothes were ripped off, and both sides were beaten to a pulp.
Then
"Awoo!" Song Jinxiu ate all of it.
The four little idiots at the door stretched their necks to look inside.
Carrot Head A: "Do you think she's mentally ill?"
Carrot Head B: "That's possible. A normal person can't play with a handful of melon seeds."
Carrot Head C: "Of course it is. Otherwise, he wouldn't be detained at home."
Carrot Head D: "But her stories are quite interesting."
Carrot Head A: "Poor Niu Wazi, he can't even speak, and he has a sister like this."
Liu Ankang couldn't help it and kicked each of them in the butt, almost knocking them down.
"Niu Wazi, my grandma said that we can't hit people during the New Year." said Luobutou.
"Okay, okay, no matter how you reason with him, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Besides, he didn't hit us, he kicked us." Another carrot head came out to smooth things over.
"An An is here with his friends. Come in and have some candy." Song Jinxiu also noticed them and greeted them warmly.
"Do you think we will become like her if we eat the candy she gives us?" said Radish Head A.
"You're stupid! She didn't make the candy, so that's definitely not the case!" said Carrot Head B.
"You are all stupid. Even if she did it, she did it with her hands, not her brain." said Carrot Head C.
"The candy that Niu Wazi gave me last time was so delicious." Carrot Head D said.
The four of them walked slowly inside, muttering to each other as they walked.
