Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Are you drunk yet? "Zhou Guilan rolled her eyes disapprovingly when she heard her husband's words.

"If you really want to talk about those shitty things in your family, you can't finish talking in three days and three nights. You, shut up."

The Xu family was in Shijiagou, Yinkuangzi, and they were counted as one of the most famous families.

Dozens of acres of land, a large orchard, and a mountain in the family. The family also runs a flour mill and raises large animals.

Not really a big landlord, but a small landlord is definitely enough.

Xu Chenghou has no brothers, only a younger sister, and everything in the family belongs to him.

The atmosphere at the silver mine is not good, and when the men are free in winter, they either drink for money or smoke.

When Xu Chenghou was young, he didn't smoke, but he was extremely obsessed with playing with money.

He often goes out to play money, and he goes there for ten days and a half months, and only returns after losing all his money.

Gradually, the family property made him lose a lot.

Xu Chenghou's first daughter-in-law was surnamed Jiang. Women in the old society had a hard time living, especially the new daughter-in-law, who suffered from difficulties everywhere in her husband's house.

Xu Chenghou's parents are all old feudal antiques, and the most common sentence they say is "the daughter-in-law who hit him kneads the noodles."

If the daughter-in-law is disobedient, she deserves a beating, no matter what the daughter-in-law does right or wrong, it's just a beating anyway.

The daughter of the Jiang family married to the Xu family for two years, and was tortured to death in a daze.

The other end of the Jiang family sued the officials, and the Xu family spent a lot of money to settle the lawsuit, and it has since completely declined.

Later, Xu Chenghou spent a lot of money to marry Zhou Guilan into the family. It may be because of the example of the previous wife, but the Xu family didn't dare to fight to the death.

Even so, Zhou Guilan suffered a lot during the few years when she first married.

It was better until Xu Shixian was born.

In [-], Xu Chenghou's parents died, and the Xu family fell into disrepair. Even so, the middle peasants were settled.

Coupled with the fact that Xu Chenghou has always been out of tune, he has become the target of the main attack, and he is very excluded from the silver mine.

At the suggestion of Zhou Guilan's mother, she moved to Fusong to settle down.

Not long after the Xu family moved here, the commune was established.

Driven by the commune and the production team, and separated from the environment of the silver mine, Xu Chenghou slowly improved and gradually became famous in Daying Commune.

It's a pity that because Xu Shixian acted as a monster, the Xu family was severely suppressed.

In the end, I had no choice, so I moved to the big house, a remote place in the countryside.

Zhou Guilan doesn't like to bring up things about her hometown the most. Whenever she mentions it, she thinks of how her mother-in-law tortured her back then. Those days are like nightmares now.

"Fortunately, our family has moved out, if we still stay in our hometown, how can we live like this?

You have already been defeated, and the children may starve to death.

What are you talking about?Free time for you.In the future, don't mention your mother in front of me, I don't like to hear it. "

Zhou Guilan has been married to Xu's family for more than 30 years. From being a submissive little daughter-in-law at the beginning to now being an uncompromising head of the family, she also perfectly confirms the saying that a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years.

"Okay, today's Chinese New Year, let's not mention those boring things, just sit down and eat with chopsticks."

Zhou Guilan sorted out her mood, not thinking about the bad things in the past, but greeted the children to eat with a smile.

"Come on, Yingzi, eat a piece of fish and ribs."

Zhou Guilan was afraid that Su Anying would be stupid and that she would be too hard to eat, so she picked up some dishes that were far away and put them in Su Anying's bowl.

"Little Yan'er, if you can't reach the other end, let the fourth child pinch it for you.

For my own family, you don’t need to be an outsider, you can eat whatever you want. "

She has been trained by her mother-in-law and knows how difficult it is to be a daughter-in-law, so Zhou Guilan never makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law, and treats her daughter-in-law very well.

In her own words, it is the hardship I have suffered, and I cannot let my daughter-in-law suffer again.

A table of delicious food, it's too late to eat, who cares about talking?

Anyway, those children in Beikang couldn't wait to stuff their mouths with meat, and they were all eager to eat.

On the Nankang side, Xu Chenghou was not angry when his wife scolded him. He just smiled and asked his son to pour wine, and led his five sons to drink happily.

The whole year is busy, and only during the New Year can we relax.

Xu Chenghou no longer put on the airs of being a father, and chatted with his sons while eating and drinking, very amiable.

After all, the children on the other side of the northern kang are still young, and their stomachs have limited capacity. After eating for a while, they felt that their stomachs were full, and they began to think about it.

Just happened to see the table at Nankang, grandpa, dad, uncle, and uncles didn't know what to drink.

Seeing how happy Grandpa was, he took a sip of the contents of the cup, his eyes narrowed, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Xu Haibo rolled his eyes, put down his chopsticks, got off the ground, and ran to Grandpa Nankang.

"Master, what are you drinking? Why does it look delicious? Give me a sip too?"

Children are curious, so they think that there must be something good in grandpa's cup, and they are not greedy.

"You bastard, that's wine, it's spicy, you're hungry for anything?"

When Xu Shi'an heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he scolded his son.

Xu Haibo was a little afraid of his father, but he was still thinking about what was in his grandfather's wine glass, so he hid in his grandfather's arms.

"Master, what is wine? Is it delicious? Give me a taste?"

The little guy raised his head and looked at his grandfather eagerly.

Although Xu Chenghou is very strict with his sons, he likes his grandson very much, and he is very fond of children.

As soon as he heard that the eldest grandson wanted to taste the wine, the old man dipped his chopsticks into the wine glass and brought it to Xu Haibo's mouth.

"Try it, isn't it spicy?"

How can a child stand the taste of wine?

Although there is only one drop, the bitter and spicy taste made Xu Haibo's face wrinkle quickly.

With a "wow", the child cried. "What is this? It's spicy and bitter."

Originally, she was just a little crying bag, and she cried for a while for nothing, let alone this time.

The angry Xu Shian's face turned dark, "I told you it's not good, you have to taste it, and you cried after you tasted it.

Go and find your mother, don't be annoying here. "

Few men have the patience to coax their children, especially when faced with a crying child, it can definitely break people down.

The child cried, and Wei Mingrong sat there and continued to eat, as if nothing happened.

Anyway, the crying bag in her family cried all day long, the more she coaxed her, the more she cried, and it stopped after a while.

But Zhou Guilan couldn't stand her grandson crying so much, so she hurried down to the ground, filled a bowl of water in the pot and came back.

"Xiao Bo, come quickly, what's the matter with grandma? Your grandfather's is not good, but the water in grandma's hand is delicious. Come and taste it."

The water in which pears are steamed should be light red, because the grape cake and mountain red skin are mixed in it, so the color is much darker.

The purple soup is really a bit of juice.

Children are easily attracted by novelty.

Xu Haibo saw the juice in grandma's hand, and saw that the color was so bright, he immediately fell in love with it, so he took a sip.

Well, this tastes good, much better than that wine or something.

Chapter 1 Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new

Xu Haibo just went to eat meat, Xu's family eats a lot of vegetables, and he didn't drink water, he was thirsty.

There happens to be this sweet and sour juice, why don't you hold a bowl and drink enough?

A bowl of soup was swallowed by him just like that.

"Grandma, this is delicious, much better than the one in my grandfather's cup, sweet and sour."

Children have a simple mind, whether it is good or not, they can judge directly by the taste.

When Xu Haibo yelled, Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu on the other end also cheered up and ran over to surround Zhou Guilan.

"Milk, whatever is good, we want to drink it too."

It was originally used to coax the children, and now the children want to drink, so why not hurry?

Zhou Guilan simply took out a stack of bowls, filled a bowl for each child, and returned some for Su Anying and Wu Qiuyan as well.

"Try it, both of you, it's delicious." Pregnant women can get special treatment.

"If you want to drink, do it yourself. There is still in the pot. After filling, add some water and continue steaming. You can steam it twice."

Zhou Guilan turned her head to look at Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong. They were all married for several years. Her mother-in-law didn't need to do these things, she could eat whatever she wanted.

Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong were not polite either, they went down to the ground to get bowls, each filled some to drink.

Not to mention, this sweet and sour taste is really suitable for women's taste, and it is quite delicious.

"Third son, you've been quiet for a whole day, but you're really good at thinking, you can poke out everything."

Wei Mingrong finished the juice in two gulps, and couldn't help complimenting Xu Shiyan.

However, when she said this, she didn't know whether it was a compliment or an insult.

Xu Shiyan smiled when he heard the words, but didn't say anything. He did this to coax his wife, and it was purely for the family.

Of course, this cannot be said, whatever they think.

This is just right, the women and children drink fruit juice, the men drink alcohol, and the reunion dinner is delicious.

Until after five o'clock, I had enough food and drink, and there were still a lot of dishes left on the table.

Men drink too much, or sleep or get together to chat, while women are busy cleaning up.

Water was boiled in the big pot in the kitchen, and the two kangs in the west room were very hot. A big basin was placed in the middle of the floor, and hot water was poured in.

Xue Xiulin and sister-in-law Wei Mingrong put the children in the water one by one and scrubbed them.

After the children finished washing, the door was locked, and the women also took their own baths.

For Chinese New Year, remove the old clothes and make new ones. Only after washing can you change into new clothes for the New Year.

After finishing the work, it was getting late, so I called the man up, and washed what should be washed, and then started to chop meat and vegetables, and bread dumplings.

In Xu's house, Chinese New Year dumplings must be stuffed with cabbage and radish.

Cabbage is a homonym for Baicai, and radish is also called Laifu, both of which have excellent meanings.

When everything was ready, panels were placed on the south kang in the east house, and the women either sat on the kang or took a stool and started making dumplings.

It is cold in the Northeast, and there must be a kang at home, so I have developed a habit, and I am happy to do a lot of work on the kang.

The old lady in the Northeast is even more unique, sitting cross-legged.

Of course Zhou Guilan would, too. She was sitting cross-legged on one side of the panel, kneading the dough with her hands.

In a short time, knead the dough into long strips, and then use your hands to shape them into evenly sized doses, and place the doses neatly in rows.

Speaking of which, grabbing the potion with your hands is definitely not as fast as cutting it with a knife.

But in this era, eating dumplings is not only a meal, but more of a meaning, and there must be a sense of ritual.

Anyway, at Zhou Guilan's place, the dumplings must be pulled by hand. This is a rule, and it is not allowed to be broken.

A piece of noodles was quickly pulled into four neat rows, and at this time, I grabbed a handful of thin noodles and sprinkled them on, and flattened the noodles with my hands.

Only the girls and daughters-in-law can take it, use a rolling pin to roll it into dumpling wrappers, wrap them with stuffing, and place them neatly on the curtain.

It must be unpleasant to make dumplings like this, and fortunately the family has a lot of staff, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dumplings until midnight.

There are many families in Xu, and there are also many dumplings. The dumplings are made from eight o'clock until eleven o'clock.

It happened that Xu Shixiang and his friends also fried melon seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc., so they boiled the dumplings.

After the dumplings were put into the pot, Xu Chenghou led his children and grandchildren to light firecrackers outside.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the children clap their hands and laugh and make noise amidst the crackling sound, and the new year comes amidst the laughter.

There were firecrackers going off outside one after another, and Xu Chenghou also coaxed his grandchildren to light up a few firecrackers, coaxing the children to play.
