Reborn as a widow in the 70s

According to the custom of Lu Aiguo's hometown, after the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, the family begins to make dumplings while watching the New Year. When it gets dark on the first day of the New Year, they start cooking dumplings to celebrate the New Year.

So after the New Year's Eve dinner, the family started making dumplings again.

Now that there are many people in the family, it is natural that it is not the turn of Song Xiuxiu, a pregnant woman, to take action. She is only responsible for directing from the side.

But she also has the most important task, which is to find a few coins and soak them in water.

"Mom, why did you put the money in the water?" Yaya asked in confusion.

Song Xiuxiu explained patiently: "These coins will be wrapped in dumplings soon."

"Dumplings stuffed with coins? Doesn't it hurt your teeth! Will it produce a lot of money in your stomach if you eat it!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu laughed, and then kissed Yaya's fleshy little face: "My Yaya, you are so cute!"

Yaya was a little confused by what her mother said, so she turned her knowledge-seeking eyes to her brother standing next to her.

Zhao Xuewen said with a smile: "You can't eat those coins, just to win a good fortune!"

Yaya tilted her little head and asked: "What is a lottery!"

Zhao Xuewen: "Whoever eats it will have good luck in the new year!"

Upon hearing this, Yaya immediately said happily: "I want to eat dumplings with coins!"

Song Xiuxiu pinched her little nose naughtily and said, "But we all want to eat it! So we have to see who is lucky!"

Yaya said unconvinced: "I must be the luckiest!"

Song Xiuxiu challenged: "Then let's compare!"

When the dumplings were being made, Yaya kept staring at the coins. Especially when the coins were wrapped in the dumplings, Yaya wanted to stick her eyes to the dumplings.

When Lu Aiguo saw his daughter lying on the Kang table motionless and looking at the dumplings, he asked curiously: "Didn't we Yaya just finish eating? Are we hungry again?"

Yaya had no time to pay attention to her father, and was concentrating on memorizing the characteristics of that dumpling.

Zhao Xuewen said: "She wanted to eat dumplings with coins, so she kept staring at them!"

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo laughed, rubbed his daughter's little head and said, "Then you have to watch carefully and don't even blink, otherwise it will run away!"

Yaya nodded firmly!

When the dumplings were almost finished, Song Sihong took out a small bowl from the kitchen with brown sugar and chopped peanuts in it.

"Let's pack a few of these!"

Song Xiuxiu: "Why do you want to eat sweets?"

Song Sihong: "I didn't eat it, I packed it for you and my second brother-in-law."

"us?"

"Yes! The brown sugar represents sweetness, and the peanuts represent a smooth delivery of your baby!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Aiguo laughed and said: "These dumplings are good, make more, I can eat a whole curtain."

Song Xiuxiu glanced at him and said, "Don't listen to him, just make a bowl. You'll get tired of eating too much!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the man leaned into her ear and whispered: "How can I get tired of being with you!"

Song Xiuxiu: "Do we mean the same thing?"

The man just smiled and said nothing!

Because there were pregnant women and children, Lu Aiguo did not ask everyone to stay up late. Seeing that it was almost past twelve o'clock, he asked everyone to go to bed.

That night, the sound of cannons was occasionally heard outside, and Song Xiuxiu slept peacefully in the man's arms.

Compared with the harmonious and lively atmosphere of the Lu family, Tao Xiaoling's home seemed much deserted.

Tao Xiaoling only made two simple dishes for today's New Year's Eve dinner because she also had to go to work and didn't have time to cook so many dishes. Sun Zhenghui had always been a hands-off shopkeeper and didn't care about anything, so their New Year's Eve dinner seemed... A bit shabby.

However, Sun Zhenghui didn't choose. He finished his meal in silence as usual and went to the study.

Tao Xiaoling sat in the yard, feeling so cold that she could no longer feel the biting cold wind blowing on her face.

Looking at the dark night sky and listening to the sound of firecrackers far and near, Tao Xiaoling felt sad and suddenly felt that she was the most pitiful person in the world.

When I was a child, I was born in a rural family that favored sons over daughters. Because of my good voice, I was spotted by an art troupe that went to the countryside to perform, and I ended up in the army by accident.

It was not until she arrived in the army that Tao Xiaoling discovered that men and women can be equal, that men cannot beat their wives and sell their daughters, and that girls can also go to school.

In this way, Tao Xiaoling worked hard in the army, studied hard, and had a good relationship with everyone. She only hoped that she could stay here for a long time.

But fate always likes to play tricks on people. He has obviously worked very hard, but why would his leader consider demobilizing him?

Just when Tao Xiaoling was desperate and helpless, the appearance of Lu Aiguo became her only life-saving straw. As long as she could catch up with Lu Aiguo, who was still the company commander at the time, she could stay here forever, even if she was demobilized!

Just when she was happily thinking about her new life, fate played tricks on her again.

Just because "parents don't agree", this man abandoned himself and married a village girl who couldn't read a word.

At that time, if Tao Xiaoling fell into the abyss, she wished that someone could help her, but the reality was really cruel.

She has no outstanding results, no deep connections, and no one can help her out of the abyss.

Since there is no such thing, then find a way to build a ladder and climb out by yourself!

But now!

I seem to have climbed out of the abyss, but I don’t seem to have climbed out!

Tao Xiaoling stared at the wall that separated her from the man, wondering why she was having such a hard time while that woman was living a good life!

I just want to find an honest and reliable man to spend the rest of my life without going back to my hometown. Why is it so difficult!

Since you have to live a good life, no one can feel comfortable!

Song Xiuxiu got up at five o'clock in the morning on New Year's Day and started preparing dumplings.

Lu Aiguo also got dressed early and scattered the sesame poles he had prepared in the yard.

There is a saying in his hometown in northern Hebei that one has to step on a sesame pole on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which indicates that sesame seeds will bloom steadily in the new year.

Not long after, Sanhong and Sihong came out with Yaya, and Zhao Xuewen was the last one to get up.

After everyone had finished washing up, Song Xiuxiu called everyone to bring dumplings and it was time to eat!

When he heard that the dumplings were ready, Lu Aiguo took out a bunch of firecrackers and hung them on a branch in the yard.

"Xuewen, do you want some?"

The man said and handed him the incense in his hand.

Zhao Xuewen thought for a while and then said: "Uncle Lu, you are the head of the family, so you should do it!"

Lu Aiguo: "I will have some this year, but you are the eldest son of this family, so next year you will have some!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xuewen raised a smile and said happily: "Okay, I'll do some next year!"
