Chapter 041: Set a Small Goal
The house suddenly became lively, and a series of greetings of New Years greetings came one after another.
Among them, three sons from Uncle Jiang Si’s family came back, but the two married people did not come out. This time, Jiang Xiuxiu led her nieces and nieces out to walk around.
"Who made dumplings like this? They look so beautiful?" Jiang Xiuxiu stood by the kang and looked at the dumplings on the dining table. They were very small and looked so cute.
Jiang Yan smiled with eyebrows and eyes: "You made the fish, do you want to try it?"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly. She was full at home. After all, she might be a little frugal on weekdays. But for the New Year's Eve dinner, as long as the family is not poor, she will make dumplings, not to mention that she has lived a comfortable life in the past two years.
Jiang Yu picked up a dumpling from her bowl and handed it to Jiang Xiuxiu, and delivered it to her open mouth.
When I took a bite, the meat smelled everywhere. The oil residue was chopped and shattered. The cabbage was added with clear mouthfuls. The oil residue was heated into the dumplings, which contained a rich gravy. Although it was not much, it was also very impressive.
"Auntie Xiaoyu..." Jiang Guoliang's daughter looked up at Jiang Yu and looked at him with a eager look.
Jiang Yu was not stingy either. She picked up a dumpling for each child. Seeing them eating happily, she was also happy.
"Is it delicious?" she asked.
The children nodded quickly, of course it was delicious, but the meat was covered with meat residue. How could it be less delicious?
Besides, the children are already greedy for meat, so they can eat this tonight, but they are so happy.
After dividing the dumplings on the plate to several little babies, Jiang Xiuxiu helped Jiang Yu clean up the dishes and waited for them to change into their clothes, and then the whole family of the same tribe went out in a mighty way.
The first family must go to the home of the oldest elder in the same clan to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to the next round in turn.
After more than half a year in Hexi Commune, Jiang Yu rarely visited his family except for a limited number of families.
As a modern person, she lives in a jungle of steel and iron mud. She may not know who you are in the opposite door for ten or eight years. Naturally, she also has this habit.
Therefore, when she came to Hexi Commune and became Jiang Yu, this kind of scene of casual visits and everyone in the village was a bit strange to her.
When Jiang Yan and his brothers greeted many elders, they received greetings from many elders in the clan. After all, the elders in the family are gone, and now there are only three of them left. No one is rich in material terms, so there are not many people who can help. At least you should care more about it.
Jiang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Nowadays, this era is different from the later period. Now every household has several children, and the saying "half-year-old boy starved to death" is that no one has enough surplus food. If you give it to others, you will have to tighten your belt and live. Besides, the three siblings have not been able to survive. It would be great for her to get the sincere care and greetings from relatives in the clan.
She didn't feel that it was always mentioned how unbearable it was for people to mention that their deceased parents were. They had no conflicts with interests. Moreover, the reputation of Jiang Han and his wife was really good in the commune, so they would only follow these concerns.
Of course, there are people who don’t like them, but those people, Jiang Yan and the other two will not go to pay New Year’s greetings.
After walking around for about an hour and a half, I arrived at Jiang Changhai's home.
When the fourth aunt saw Jiang Yan and his brother, she hurriedly pushed the fried soybeans on the kang, as well as hard fruit candies. She grabbed a few and stuffed them into Jiang Chuan's hand. "Da Ni Er Ni, hurry up and go to the kang to warm up. Is it a lot of firewood burned at home today, and the kang is hot. Is it cold after a long circle?"
The three siblings were not in a hurry to go home. Besides, when Jiang Han was alive, she had a good relationship with Jiang Changhai, so they were happy to go around Jiang Xiuxiu's house.
At this time, when the fourth aunt called her, the two sisters slipped onto the kang, and Jiang Xiuxiu also got close to Jiang Yu, and they occupied a hot kang together.
"Second grandma, are you cold? I have taken over your warm kang." Jiang Yu smiled at the old lady next to him.
Jiang Xiuxiu's grandfather is the second among brothers. He and Mr. Jiang are the same father, so the relationship between the two families is the closest in the village. After all, Jiang Chi only has a son like Jiang Han, and he and Jiang Changhai are the closest cousins.
Jiang Han is two years older than Jiang Changhai, but because Jiang Han got married later, Jiang Changhai gave birth to his eldest son Jiang Guorong when he was eighteen years old. Although Jiang Changhai is now a grandfather, Jiang Yu still wants to call him uncle, not uncle.
The old lady Cui showed her neat teeth and smiled lovingly, "My second grandma is old and can't stand the warm kang, you young people can resist it."
My second grandfather is not at home, so I probably went to the home of an elderly man of the same tribe to play chess. Now there are few leisure activities. The elderly usually have sunbathing and playing chess.
Jiang Xiuxiu grabbed a handful of fried soybeans and stuffed them into Jiang Yu's hand, and said to Zhao Caihua: "Mom, don't you know. When my third brother and I went over, Sister Da Ni had just finished her meal. The dumplings were made by Jiang Yu. The wraps were so beautiful and delicious."
"Yes!" Zhao Caihua looked at Jiang Yu, "Is Erni's cooking skill so good?"
Jiang Yan nodded proudly, "I have been cooking at home for half a year, but I feel much more relaxed."
"That's it." Zhao Caihua smiled and said, "If you live a family, you don't have to be considerate of each other. If you can, you can help, right? Erni, otherwise you will not be exhausted by just relying on your elder sister."
Jiang Yu nodded, "Aunt Four is right. I used to be young and ignorant, but now I know how hard my elder sister has done."
"Good kid, if you have any difficulties in the future, let me tell you that Aunt Si will definitely help."
"good!"
It took him here until four o'clock in the morning before Jiang Yu took his younger brother and Jiang Yan home.
This year is over, and there shouldn't be anyone at home during the day. After all, there are no elders at home, so you can spend the rest of your time slacking off at home and go to the hut to continue studying with several teachers after the New Year.
Jiang Chuan was all napping at this time. If Jiang Yu hadn't helped him on the way back, the child would probably be able to lie down on the street and fall asleep.
Looking at his sleepy appearance, he had been vigilant before. When he returned home, Jiang Yu sent his brother back to his room, but he didn't call him to wash his feet. He thought that this little guy who was doing the New Year was also exhausted, and he would not be able to do this day.
However, she and her elder sister leaned on the soaking feet before lying in the warm bed and fell asleep.
I slept until almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, but Jiang Yan was breathing lightly and there was no sign of awakening.
Jiang Yu was not willing to call her. For some time before, Jiang Yan was busy all day long. In addition, her parents' death day was just a few days ago. It was not easy to persevere until now, both mental and physical pressure.
She didn't have much admiration for Jiang Han and his wife, and the death was gone. Her current goal is to see Jiang Yan marry the man she liked, Jiang Chuan succeeded, and do a career she liked, and find a man she liked, so she was satisfied.
