While talking and chatting, the two of them wrapped out two curtain dumplings, one curtain is cooked tonight, and the other is cooked tomorrow morning.

At the end of the wrapping, there was still more than a bowl of dumpling filling, and Qu Weiyang smiled when he saw it, "Well, it looks like our family's life will be better next year, and look, there is a surplus of dumpling filling." ”

The old rule of northeasterners, making dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, if the dumpling filling is left, it means that the family will be richer and more money next year.

In order to please the mouth, most people will chop more stuffing, of course, there are really cases where a lot of stuffing is chopped, and in the end it is not enough to wrap.

Although they are now advocating the elimination of feudal superstitions, some of the old exquisiteness that has been handed down for many years is not so easy to break.

So Qu Weiyang was still very happy after seeing the leftover dumpling filling.

"Our family's eight acres of land produce a lot, which is enough for our mother to eat, and it doesn't cost much.

Your food and clothing in the army are all managed by the army, and you have brought home a lot of allowances. ”

Qiao Lian laughed when she heard Qu Weiyang's words, it would be strange if his family didn't have a surplus in his life, and what about the big cheat of the system, all the money in the family was saved, could it not be surplus?

While speaking, Qiao Lian had already covered a curtain of dumplings with clean white gauze and brought them to the yard to freeze.

This year's New Year's Eve, February 13 is only Chinese New Year's Eve, the weather is already quite warm, fortunately, the temperature is still low at night, dumplings outside for one night, can still freeze.

The dumplings were wrapped, but it was only eight o'clock, the children were still sleeping, and the two of them were idle and had nothing to do, so they simply turned out the melon seeds and fried a pot of melon seeds to eat.

There are many children in the family, and there are many people who visit the door after the New Year, so prepare more melon seeds, and save too little to eat.

Before the pot of melon seeds was fried, Jiakang Jiayuan woke up first, and when she saw that it was so dark outside, Jiayuan immediately asked, "Mom, are the dumplings wrapped?" ”

"It's already wrapped, I made it with your father, the dumplings for the New Year are particular, and the children can't do it, so they don't call you up.

Wait for the seventh day of the new year to make dumplings, and then you will work together. Qiao Lian was afraid that Jiayuan would not be happy, so she hurriedly found an excuse to coax her.

Unable to make dumplings, Xiao Jiayuan is really a little lost, this baby has been particularly keen on learning to cook recently.

But when I heard my mother say that the seventh day of the new year was still packed, the little loss in my heart was gone, so I happily went to the ground, "Mom, what else can I do to help?" ”

Qiao Lian thought for a while, "Turn on the flashlight, go to the warehouse to pick up frozen pears and come back, tonight I have to survive the New Year's Eve past twelve o'clock, and the frozen pears are cold and refreshing." ”

The girl knew how to help her mother in her eyes, and Qiaolian was of course happy, so she arranged things for her daughter to do.

"Mom, what about me? What can I do? Jiakang also came to Qiao Lian's side at this time and asked.

"Go to your father, you two rummaged through the firecrackers in the cabinet, leave it tomorrow morning and the third day of the new year, and let your father lead you out to set off the firecrackers."

It's a lot of fun, I've bought a lot of fun gunners and tweed this year. ”

Nowadays, there are not many firecracker patterns in these years, Qiaolian almost searched all the firecracker stalls in the supply and marketing cooperatives at that time, and bought all the samples suitable for children to play, Jiakang has never played since he was a child, and he will definitely like it.

Boys and girls are just different, as soon as they heard that they could go and set off firecrackers, Jiakang's eyes immediately widened.

"Dad, take me to set off firecrackers." Don't look at the usual days, Jiakang is very stable and sensible, but a child is a child after all, so he can't hold his breath at this time, and pesters Qu Weiyang to lead him to set off firecrackers.

Qu Weiyang was naturally willing, so he led Jiakang to rummage through the cabinet and took out all the firecrackers and fireworks suitable for children.

Then the two men dressed up and went out with a piece of burning wood.

Qu Weiyang doesn't smoke, there is no incense at home, and it is not okay to light matches directly when there is wind outside, except for chopping firewood, there is really nothing better to use.

"You two go to the gate and put it, Jia Junjiahe hasn't woken up yet, don't scare them. Besides, we have a lot of livestock, and there is too much movement in the yard, so don't startle the mules. Qiao Lian was not at ease and admonished.

"Okay, don't worry." The two men went out with firecrackers, and after a while, they heard a noise, which was not particularly big, and it should be outside the yard.

But even so, Jiajun Jiahe, who was sleeping on the kang, was also woken up, Jiajun rubbed his eyes and woke up, and when he saw that there was only his younger brother on the kang, he called out to his mother.

Qiao Lian hurriedly entered the house, urinated on the two babies, then dressed them, led Jiajun out of the house with Jiahe in her arms, and took them to watch Qu Weiyang set off firecrackers.

Jiajun, a leather boy, was a little scared when he heard the sound of firecrackers at first, but when he understood what was going on, he was not afraid, but clapped his little hands and jumped happily.

However, Jiahe is a little timid, hiding in Qiaolian's arms and covering his ears, not to mention how interesting that little appearance is.

The family played outside for a while, and the fireworks were almost set off, so they turned around and went back to the house to warm up, and after a while, Qiaolian saw that the time was about the same, so she went to make a fire to boil water and prepare to cook dumplings.

The dumplings are cooked after a short time, and when they are brought to the table, as soon as the steaming dumplings are served, the children immediately gather around.

"Come on, eat dumplings, the dumplings for the New Year are different, you can eat slowly later, maybe you can eat something good."

Qiao Lian smiled and distributed small dishes to the children, and told the children to eat slowly.

Hearing this, Jiakang Jiayuan felt strange, "Mom, what's in the dumplings?" ”

"If I don't tell you, it's interesting to taste it yourself." Qiaolian pretended to be mysterious, but she didn't tell them.

Now the children are even more curious, and they can't wait to bite into the dumplings, wanting to know what secrets are hidden in the dumplings.

Qiao Lian and Qu Weiyang glanced at each other and smiled, this is a trick to coax children to eat more dumplings, and lo and behold, it is still effective.

Qiao Lian was smiling, but she didn't pay attention, she didn't want to bite down, she almost lost her teeth, and when she looked down, there was a small amount of money in the dumpling she ate.

"Yes, I was here to coax you, but I ate it myself." Qiao Lian put the small foreign money on the table.

"I have money in the dumplings, see which of you can eat them, and you will have money to spend next year."

The children were originally very curious, but now they heard that they were rich, and they were even happier, so they ate dumplings one after another.

As a result, I didn't eat the money, but I found that the dumplings in my mouth were sweet, "Mom, how sweet are my dumplings?" Jia Yuan asked suspiciously.

"There's sugar there, and next year will be sweet, how good?" Qiao Lian replied with a smile.

"Oops, what is this? Jujube? "That Jiakang ate a big jujube.

"Well, it's good, our family will be prosperous next year, and Jiakang is also very good, and I have eaten jujubes." Anyway, Qiaolian has something to deal with.

Qu Weiyang watched Qiaolian coax the children like this, and laughed along, not wanting to bite into the dumplings, but biting a hard thing, not money, "I ate peanuts?" ”

"Congratulations, next year will be on the rise." Qiaolian coaxed Qu Weiyang as a child.
