Chapter 134： Dragon Boat Festival

Chapter 134 Dragon Boat Festival

The next morning, Xu Shiyan rode away early again.

Waiting for seven or eight o'clock, Su Anying followed what Xu Shiyan said, and hung the cow hair on the open space in the yard.

Anyway, the Xu family has a big place, so there is room for everything.

Before going to bed at night, Xu Shiyan told Su Anying how to bask in the buffalo.

During the day, I specially carried my son to the neighbors to see how they rub and dry, and then I followed suit.

Drying cattle hair is not directly drying, so that there will be a line of drying, which is not necessary for the purchase station.

Sun-dried cows have a lot of hair, so they have to be kneaded constantly, and they have to be kneaded hard, but they can't be kneaded.

Knead it with a sack under it. When it is half dry, step on it with a sack, and then knead it into a ball before drying it.

The kneaded and sun-dried ox hair is broad, purple-red in color, twisted and curled up, which makes the vegetables look thick and good-looking.

Xu Shiyan went to the mountain to collect vegetables, while Su Anying coaxed the children to dry the cow hair at home.

The young couple are thinking about one thing and exerting their energy in one place. Are they still afraid that they will have a bad life?

On June 9th, the fourth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Su Anying took advantage of the time to dry the cattle hair, went to the back woods and came back with a basket of oak leaves.

Jiangmi and rhubarb rice were soaked in water separately. Xu Shiqin came back early in the afternoon, and the sister-in-law coaxed the children to cook while making zongzi.

Eat zongzi these days, not so much, and there are no candied dates to put, big dates are rare things.

Fortunately, Su Anying has a way. Soak the big white beans in advance and boil them with some sugar.

When making zongzi, put some beans in it, it tastes sweet and soft, and the taste is also very good.

The rice dumplings were wrapped, and the rice was cooked. Just when Xu Shiyan came back, he ate the rice quickly, and he had to blanch the beef.

"Before this time next year, I will set up a pot in the yard, and let's put it outside to scald the beef.

Otherwise, in this hot day, the kang would be so hot that it would be impossible to sleep at night. "

Xu Shiyan complained while working.

He actually didn’t think about getting a lot of money this year. He didn’t have a bicycle at home. How could he go so far without a bicycle?

After buying a car, I hurried into the mountains to collect vegetables. I didn't have time to set up a stove, so I could only make do with it.

"Let's go back early tomorrow, I'll buy some gauze and nail the windows.

When it’s too hot at night, the windows are left open, and the screens are nailed on to prevent mosquitoes from entering. "

The weather is hot, and the kang is also hot, so it’s really hard to sleep at night.

Open the window, lest mosquitoes come in and bite people, don’t open it, the room is like a steamer, it’s so hot at night that I can’t sleep.

If a stove is set up outside, all the things that consume firewood are made outside, and the kang in the house is burned once a day to ventilate, at least it is not so hot.

Xu Shiyan's words, everyone has a deep understanding.

Especially recently, two pots of cow hair are scalded every night, and the kang is hot to the touch.

Fortunately, the kang is big, so they try to sleep on the top of the kang, at least better, if they sleep on the top of the kang, they will be cooked.

The three of them were stroking cattle outside, and rice dumplings were still cooking in the pot.

After the fire is over, no more firewood is added, and the pot is tightly covered so that it is so stuffy.

Boring all night, get up early and eat directly, neither cold nor hot.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Su Anying boiled six eggs, and there was no need to cook other meals in the morning, just eat the dumplings and eggs directly.

After dinner, the three of them packed up their things. Xu Shiyan took off the rocking cart and tied it firmly behind the Dajinlu bicycle.

Then put the son inside and push him away, so that he doesn't need to be hugged by anyone, and he is comfortable.

On the front handlebar, there are still two Dulu rice dumplings, both of which belong to Jiangmi.

This stuff is usually rare, take it back to give parents and children a taste.

Xu Shiyan pushed the cart, Su Anying and Xu Shiqin walked, taking advantage of the fact that the morning was not too hot and the road was not too difficult, so they went back to the big house.

When going to the riverside to take a boat, Su Anying held the child in her arms, and Xu Shiyan moved the bicycle onto the boat.

Uncle Liu saw Xu Shiyan and the others, and he was quite enthusiastic, "Since you moved out, you haven't come back for some days.

Yo, did you buy this bike yourself? Or else San'er has to be capable, and the bicycles are all bought, all right. "

The group crossed the river with their bicycles. This time, they didn't need to put the child in the stroller anymore. Su Anying held her and soon arrived at Xu's house at the east end of the village.

"Father, mother, we are back." Xu Shiqin shouted first after entering the door.

"I just said, I don't know if you will come back for the holidays? Hurry up, let me see Xiao Yuanyuan."

As soon as Zhou Guilan heard the movement, she hurried out of the house and took her grandson over without saying a word.

"Hey, this fat boy, take a look, he's white and fat, he's just like Yingzi."

Su Anying was born fair, no matter how much the sun tans, she won't get dark, but her skin turns red.

People call this kind of skin color the angry sun, but it is actually cold fair skin.

Xu Haiyuan fell asleep all the way, and woke up when crossing the river just now, feeling very refreshed now.

Hold in grandma's arms, she didn't cry or fuss, and looked around with **** eyes.

As a result, as soon as he entered the room and saw the situation in the room, the child burst into tears.

Everyone was taken aback, "What's wrong? I remember Yuanyuan didn't like to cry. I never cried when I hugged him."

Zhou Guilan was also dumbfounded, she was always serving her during the confinement, the little grandson was so easy to coax, what's wrong?

"Maybe he's hungry? He fell asleep all the way and just woke up."

Su Anying took the baby and went to the side to nurse, the baby stopped crying after all.

Here, Xu Shiyan handed the zongzi to his mother.

"Mom, this is the welfare of the old six. Two catties of glutinous rice, wrapped in rice dumplings, bring some back for you to taste."

Woke up too early, the store was not open yet, and I didn't bring anything else.

Zhou Guilan smiled and took the zongzi, and hurriedly called her granddaughter.

"Feng'er, go to your second uncle's house, call Xiaobo Xiaotao, and say that third uncle brought them rice dumplings, Jiangmi's, come and taste."

In this day and age, glutinous rice is a rarity, and glutinous rice dumplings are even rarer.

It doesn't matter if adults eat this bite or not, let the children have a taste.

As soon as Xu Jinfeng heard about the glutinous rice dumplings, he immediately put on his shoes and went to the Li family in the west of the village to find his two cousins.

Here, Xu Shiyan sat down and talked to his mother about Xu Shiqin's work.

"Mom, I have another good thing to tell you. The sixth child has a job and was left in the tailor shop by her master.

Apprentice workers, the salary is not high, and it will rise slowly later. "

In the beginning, they were called apprentices, and those who did not pay wages are now called apprentices, which is equivalent to apprentices with wages, and have the same benefits as workers, but that is absolutely different.

Zhou Guilan was very happy when she heard that, "Really? Oh my god, that's great. My daughter is going to be a worker."

Originally, among the six children, Zhou Guilan was most worried about the third and sixth children.

Now that the third child has moved to Donggang, life is getting better and better, and he has also arranged the work of the sixth child.

For the workers of the Forestry Bureau, this is a good thing that many people dream of leaving the crop yard and eating rice and iron rice bowls in the future.

"Old girl, you have to thank your third brother, how can you be a worker without your third brother taking you out of our broken valley?"
