Chapter 17 Set a small goal first, ten thousand households
At the market.
There are so many people that there is no way to get through.
Anyway, don’t expect to push the 28 bars, they can only be sent to the car stall at the entrance.
Then Wu Yuan, relying on his stature, protected Yang Luoyan, and squeezed in as needed.
By the way, I bought couplets, firecrackers, and paper money.
Yang Luoyan bought two carp, two catties of fried peanuts and melon seeds, and some nuts and honey stuffing.
Wu Yuan suddenly realized that his daughter-in-law was still thoughtful.
In the past, these meals were all prepared by the third sister.
Or he went to the east house to grab a handful, and then went to the west house to carry it in a pocket, and passed it without knowing it.
The couple bought what they needed and didn't stay long.
went out of the market, and the husband and wife returned home.
It was only after I got home that I realized that there were two baskets at the door.
Yang Luoyan was surprised, opened it, and was a little touched at that time: "My mother sent melon and fruit honey stuffing."
Then opened another one, "What is this dumpling?"
"Sent by the third sister."
Wu Yuan recognized the flowered cloth wrapped in the basket when he saw it.
Yang Luoyan flipped through it casually: "Mom left a note, saying that if you don't want to cook New Year's Eve dinner, you can go back and eat it."
Wu Yuan glanced at it: "Mom's handwriting is really not bad."
"Of course, my mother was an educated youth back then, with a high school education."
"So, you are not the same mother as Big Brother and Big Sister?"
"Well. You don't dislike me, do you?"
Wu Yuan hugged his daughter-in-law, "What's the point, I have to thank our mother for making you so beautiful. Don't think too much, I will take you to the grave to burn paper later, so that parents can meet their daughter-in-law, Be happy and happy."
Hearing this, Yang Luoyan's worries were swept away: "Then I'm going to go now."
While Yang Luoyan was preparing the tribute dishes, Wu Yuan swept the yard, posted couplets, and disposed of the two big herrings.
One sliced fish, marinated with a little salt, ready to cook boiled fish at night.
The other one was cut into sections, sprinkled with coarse salt, threaded with wire, hung under the eaves of the corridor, and made into dried salted fish.
Soon, Yang Luoyan prepared the tribute dishes.
Usually, the third sister would prepare four dishes for Wu Yuan, but now the daughter-in-law directly made six dishes.
Even changed into plain clothes for this purpose.
After burning the paper and paying the tribute, Yang Luoyan's love for Wu Yuan grew stronger.
Thinking of all these years, Wu Yuan has always come here by himself, without father or mother.
She couldn't help feeling distressed.
So on the way back, Yang Luoyan announced loudly: "Let's not go to my mother's for New Year's Eve dinner tonight, I'll make it for you!"
Wu Yuan understood: "Then I will also show my skills and cook boiled fish for you."
The sun on New Year's Eve was quickly overwhelmed by clouds.
The power of Xuehouhan was completely released.
The cold wind swept across the courtyard, making the rhubarb shiver, and even burying your head in the shavings would not help.
Seeing this, Wu Yuan found some old furniture frames and boards from the pigsty, combined with a few red bricks, and built a simple dog shed.
After finishing these tasks, the pots in the kitchen are also vacated.
Wu Yuan washed his hands and cooked the boiled fish.
There is no technical content in making boiled fish, except that more oil is used.
Even Yang Luoyan, who came from a wealthy family, couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Wu Yuan pouring oil like water.
However, when the boiled fish was ready and placed on the table, the rich aroma immediately made her salivate.
"Wash your hands, I'll set off firecrackers, let's have dinner right away."
"Hey, I'm really hungry."
After the 1,000-fired firecrackers were blown up, Wu Yuan returned to the table in the main room and found that Yang Luoyan had specially poured two cups of wine.
Yang Luoyan toasted: "Master, it's Chinese New Year, what can I say?"
The 10,000-yuan rural households in 1988 are still full of gold.
Yang Luoyan was shocked by her husband's ambition, and immediately became proud: "Then I will work hard to give you a baby, and strive to have a family of three next year!"
"This can be!"
Wu Yuan is very happy.
After two lifetimes, this was the first time a woman wanted to give birth to him from the bottom of her heart.
After getting along well in the previous life, there are also.
But it's hard to tell whether it's for him or the number on his card.
But after recovering, Wu Yuan felt that there was no need to be so anxious about the child.
The daughter-in-law is as her name suggests, young and beautiful, she really looks like a wild goose.
Giving birth to a child too early is somewhat distressed and reluctant.
After drinking three cups of small wine, Yang Luoyan put away the wine bottle.
Then I started to concentrate on cooking.
Especially, I have a soft spot for the boiled fish that my husband pours in meat oil.
Wu Yuan is naturally very happy that she likes to eat.
But while eating, Wu Yuan was a little worried.
It was so hot that I couldn't close my mouth, I breathed out again and again, but I still couldn't stop.
If this goes on like this, I'm afraid that the kiss will taste spicy after a while.
Not to mention new, deeper interactions.
After a pot of boiled fish was dried up, Yang Luoyan still fished for a long time with some unsatisfied interest.
Wu Yuan couldn't stop smiling: "You like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow, and there's more than half of the fish fillet left."
Although he is worried about this and that, as long as his wife likes it, Wu Yuan is still willing to give it.
Unexpectedly, Yang Luoyan shook his head instead: "This dish consumes a lot of oil, we have to save it. Besides, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we have to eat dumplings. I will make you any fillings you want."
"I don't pick anything. Those with leeks and eggs, or those with radish and tofu are fine."
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, put the leftovers back together without putting them in the refrigerator.
It's cold today, it's like a natural refrigerator.
Then the two of them simply washed up, and then got into the warm bed to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala in 1988 was quite interesting.
Whether it’s a cross talk or a sketch, there is still a bit of laughter and cursing.
But Wu Yuan still cares more about the quality of the mattress.
Among the sound of firecrackers outside, they tested round after round.
The bell rang at zero, and the firecrackers outside gradually stopped.
The young couple poked their heads out from under the covers, and the program "Journey to the West" by Tang Seng, his master and his disciples happened to be broadcast on TV.
Yang Luoyan looked at it with great interest for a while.
As a result, after Journey to the West, the Spring Festival Gala ended directly with the melody of "We Are Friends".
Isn't it unforgettable tonight?
Anyway, Wu Yuan is quite unforgettable tonight, because Yang Luoyan has learned a lot.
"I blame you, like an animal, the victim didn't even see the Spring Festival Gala."
"Well, it was my fault. Then I make it up to you?"
"Huh? No more, I have to get up early tomorrow to make dumplings..."
New Year's Day, a new year.
When I woke up early in the morning, it was snowing heavily outside.
This is just great.
People who pay New Year's greetings will not come so early, and the young couple hid in the bed tenderly with peace of mind.
Yang Luoyan struggled several times to get up, but was pulled back by Wu Yuan.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that the sound of firecrackers started outside, and everyone else had their first meal of dumplings.
The two of them got up slowly.
It was too late to make the dumplings myself, so I put the dumplings sent by the third sister into the pot and made it the first meal of the new year.
