A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chen Changsheng called all the children over, and they all picked meat dumplings.

"Mom, let's eat rice dumplings tonight!" Chen Sanshou took a bite.

"Okay, but you also eat one during the day, and you are only allowed to eat one at night. If you eat too much of this, your stomach will not digest it."

Fortunately, the meat dumplings were the most packed. Based on the color of the thread, she picked eight meat dumplings, four red bean rice dumplings and two alkaline water rice dumplings and put them away. She said to Sanshou, "I'll finish eating the rice dumplings later." , I’ll give these to you as milk.”

Sanshou stuffed the last rice dumpling into his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll send it over right away!"

Chen Sanshou ran out carrying the rice dumplings.

**

The old house also made rice dumplings.

Because Chen Changsheng gave Old Mrs. Chen ten taels of silver yesterday, she had more money in her hands. The old lady also bought half a catty of pork, half a catty of candied dates and glutinous rice.

She made three kinds of rice dumplings, fresh meat rice dumplings, candied date rice dumplings and pure glutinous rice rice dumplings. The ones she made were on the small side, about twenty.

"Nai, try the rice dumplings quickly." Sanshou handed the basket over.

Mrs. Chen lowered her head and looked at the basket full of rice dumplings, and asked with some confusion, "Why did your mother bring so many rice dumplings? This is too much."

"Not too much, not too much. Mom said let everyone have a taste, so that we can have a good time and have fun."

"I've made a lot of rice dumplings at home, why can't I accept yours? Take them back quickly." Old Mrs. Chen refused.

Sanshou was anxious, "No, no, mother said these rice dumplings are for Nai, uncle, aunt, and several brothers and sisters. If I take them back, I will definitely be scolded. Nai, just accept them. .”

During the stalemate, Mrs. Chen Liu, the second wife, came over and said, "Mom, this is my sister-in-law's wish, let's accept it. The rice dumplings in the morning are ready, why not ask Sanshou to take some back to my sister-in-law and the others to try. "

Old Mrs. Chen immediately beamed with joy, "Mrs. Liu, you have a good idea. Sanshou, just wait. I'll ask your second wife to go to the stove to bring some candied date rice dumplings and meat rice dumplings. Our two families will try each other's flavors. .”

After thinking about it, she pulled a few more mugworts from the large handful she had just pulled back and handed them to Sanshou, "Take this back too and let your mother hang it at the door."

Mrs. Chen noticed in the afternoon that there seemed to be no mugwort prepared in the big room.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, it is customary to hang some mugwort at the door of the house to repel insects and ward off evil spirits.

Chen Sanshou accepted a basket full of rice dumplings and mugwort and ran back all the way.

Mrs. Liu came over and asked, "Mom, the rice dumplings are cooked. Including the ones sent by my sister-in-law, there will be almost thirty rice dumplings this year. Should we eat them today or wait until the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow?" Mrs. Liu came over and asked. .

"Let's get one for each of you. We have a lot of bags this year and it's hard to celebrate the holidays."

"Hey, that's good!" Ms. Liu greeted the children with a smile.

Chen Changsheng is listing the menu for tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival. For a family of five, the dishes can be more and the portions smaller. The weather is getting hot, and there is no refrigerator to store the extra dishes.

Sanshou came back with the things given by the old house. Chen Changsheng looked at the basket full of rice dumplings and mugwort and sighed that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu were also thoughtful people.

The thrilling scene by the river in the afternoon made her forget to pick mugwort and calamus, and then make rice dumplings, completely forgetting about it.

Chen Changsheng hung mugwort on the door, estimated the time, and prepared to meet Ma Daqiang.

Before going out, Chen Changsheng once again demonstrated to several children the six words "In the beginning, human nature is good" and asked everyone to practice the calligraphy outside the house.

"The three words 'nature is inherently good' that we learned yesterday are quite difficult. Today we will not learn new content for the time being. You can continue to review the words you learned yesterday at home. Mom has to go out. Dafu, you three are brothers. Come on, don't fall behind Sixi. When mother comes back from her work, I will check them carefully one by one."

The children responded obediently and practiced writing honestly.

Chen Changsheng went out with confidence, and saw that the courtyard door of Ma's house next door had just opened, and it was Ma Daqiang who came out carrying the keel water tanker.

Aunt Ma spoke first, "Sister-in-law Chen, are you planning to go to the fields?"

Chen Changsheng and Aunt Ma are quite familiar with each other now. "Yes, Uncle Li Zheng said that he would go to the ditch and try the keel waterwheel to see if it works. Auntie, please call me Dafu Niang from now on. It will be more convenient."

"Hey, okay, then you can also call me Tiedan Niang. My Daqiang is also planning to go there. Why don't you two come together and have a companion on the way." Aunt Ma carried the handle of the keel waterwheel to Ma Daqiang on the shoulders.

Ma Daqiang said, "Daju, you can come too."

Aunt Ma rolled her eyes at Ma Daqiang and said, "There is a lot of work to do at home, and the two children are still at home. You go, be careful on the road, and don't break the water tanker."

There is still work to be done on the land and vegetables at home, and this contracting work cannot be delayed.

"Okay, close the courtyard door. Sister-in-law Chen, let's go."

Aunt Ma seemed to have remembered something, and patted her head, "Damn Dafu, I remembered, your mother's family has a visitor this afternoon. Aunt Cai also brought two men, one in his thirties and one in his forties. He looks very ugly, and his legs are still limping."

Aunt Ma was harvesting vegetables at home in the afternoon when she heard something going on outside. She recognized Aunt Cai, so she kept a close eye on her, especially the ugly man who was forty years old. She was shocked by the ugliness.

Chen Changsheng nodded, "I know, we met him when we came back. The one in his mid-thirties is the old woman's son, and the ugly one in his forties is the man introduced by the old woman."

"Old man Li from Lijiazhuang? Well, he is ugly enough. He is totally unworthy of you, Dafu Niang." Aunt Ma also guessed the same thing in the afternoon, and she guessed it right.

Although she was very curious in her heart and wanted to ask Aunt Cai what she wanted to do here, she couldn't get involved in other people's housework.

Aunt Ma said bluntly, "Although Aunt Cai is your mother's family, I don't think your relationship is very good, and you don't welcome her very much, so I paid more attention. Aunt Cai and the younger man heard that you There are sounds of hens and ducks in the yard, you have to be careful of those chickens."

I don’t know if Sister-in-law Chen will blame her for being nosy.

Chen Changsheng smiled gratefully and said, "Damn it, Tiedan, I may have to run to the city a lot these days. If there are outsiders at home, I need you to help take care of them."

Aunt Ma waved her hand carelessly, "How can I help with this little thing? Don't worry about going out. As long as I'm at home, I will definitely watch over you."

Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Ma quickly asked Chen Changsheng and Ma Daqiang to go to the ditch so as not to delay the business.
