Chapter 167

After watching the big snakehead "black head", ye Rongrong goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. Today Ye Rongrong is going to make dumplings. In the south, people eat a bowl of dumplings on the winter solstice.

A bowl of hot dumplings on the winter solstice means that life outside is full this year. It's time to get ready to go home for the new year and reunite with parents, wives, children and sisters.

The old man at home eats a bowl of hot dumplings on the winter solstice, and knows that the children far away from home are coming back to unite. It's time to prepare new year's goods and wait for the children to come back for the new year.

Today, what ye Rongrong makes is Yubo dumpling. It is made of first-class glutinous rice flour which is rich in the south. It is used to make skin. Pig oil is used to remove tendons and membranes. It is chopped and put in a basin with sugar. Sesame powder is mixed well and kneaded thoroughly. Then it is kneaded into lard sesame stuffing.

Water mill powder is mixed with water and kneaded into bright and clean dough. It is kneaded into wine cup shape. Then it is put into stuffing center and rounded into dumpling. Boil the water in the pot, put in the dumplings and cook for three minutes. When the dumplings float, add a small amount of cold water and push with a spoon to prevent sticking to the pot.

Cook for a while. When the stuffing is ripe and the surface of the dumpling is jade and glossy, spoon the soup into a bowl, add sugar and sprinkle with osmanthus. It's a very simple method.

This kind of Tangyuan is also called "sweet Tangyuan" in Ye Rongrong's place. Ye Rongrong loved to eat this kind of Tangyuan when he was a child.

When I was a child, when my mother was at the winter solstice, when she made "sweet dumplings" for ye Guangrong, she would tell Ye Guangrong, "you've grown up to be a year old and you're going to be sensible.".

In the south of China, the dumplings are usually cooked before dawn. When the family gets up, they have to eat a bowl of "dumplings". After eating this bowl of dumplings, it means that everyone is one year older, commonly known as "Tian Sui", which means that although the year has not passed, they have already been one year older.

Looking at the two bowls of Tangyuan steaming in front of him, ye Rongrong can't help thinking of his parents. Eating Tangyuan means that the family is happy. But now, except for his wife Liu Qingqing, he has no familiar voice and appearance of his parents.

It's just that ye Guangrong thinks about it from time to time. The lost affection is always so reminiscent. Ye Guangrong thinks that his parents can eat his own dumplings.

It's a pity that all this has become a luxury for ye Rongrong.

The past is like smoke, leaving only the living people, the nostalgia for the lost relatives.

Shaking his head, ye Rongrong hides his emotions in his heart. The past is gone. What he can do now is to cherish the people around him more.

……

"Husband, is breakfast ready?"

Liu Qingqing came into the kitchen and asked. Liu Qingqing, who is used to getting up early, can't go to bed early.

"Well, we'll have Tangyuan this morning." Ye Rongrong said.

"Eat Tangyuan, OK." Liu Qingqing said happily.

……

"Husband, I know an interesting story about tangyuan. Do you want to listen to it?"

A few hot dumplings into the stomach, Liu Qingqing body suddenly not cold, happily his man said.

"What an interesting story, let's hear it." Ye Guangrong asked curiously.

"It is said that in ancient times, Lu Dongbin, one of the eight immortals, turned into an old man selling glutinous rice dumplings in March of Yangchun and sold them by the West Lake."

"At this time, a man named Xu Xian happened to pass by and asked for a bowl. Accidentally, a dumpling rolled down the West Lake and was swallowed by a white snake. So the White Snake became an immortal, turned into a man, and married Xu Xian. "

Liu Qingqing slowly tells the story of "white snake and Xu Xian".

"Ha ha, my wife married Xu Xianlai with the White Snake because she ate a dumpling." Ye Guangrong couldn't help laughing.

"Why not?"

Liu Qingqing said with a white look at his man. It's not easy for him to think of a story about Tangyuan and tell it to him. Liu Qingqing is shocked that he is like this.

"Yes, how can we not, wife? In our South, after the winter solstice, eating Tangyuan means getting older. You are twenty. Should we prepare for our baby?"

Ye Rongrong said. Ye Guangrong is nearly 30 years old. People as big as him in the village already have children. If ye Guangrong doesn't care, it's too fake.

"Honey, will you give me a little more time? I really want to give birth to you, but now I... " Liu Qingqing said something pale on her face.

"Well, wife, don't talk about it. It's nothing after two years. Wife, you're still so young, and it's OK after a few years. I'll just say that I haven't had enough of our lives. I really don't want to have children."

Ye Rongrong interrupted Liu Qingqing. Ye Rongrong doesn't want to put any pressure on his women, although Ye Rongrong really wants to have a child, so that his parents who are already in heaven can know that they have grandchildren and make them happy on the other side of heaven.

But ye Guangrong doesn't want to make his own woman suffer. Ye Guangrong knows that his wife is a little reluctant to have children now. Although Ye Guangrong doesn't know the reason, ye Guangrong knows that he can't make his own woman sad, so ye Guangrong puts the responsibility on himself and doesn't want to make his own woman difficult."Husband..."

Liu Qingqing cried with tears in her eyes.

"Well, don't cry. If tears fall into the dumplings, they won't be sweet." Ye Guangrong helps Liu Qingqing wipe the tears on her face and says with a smile.

……

After breakfast, ye Rongrong lay on the armchair, basking in the sun outside the yard, and watched with interest the group of Mao children in the village feeding "blackhead" by the pond.

Ye Rongrong had to sigh that yesterday, the villagers really caught a lot of fish in the village pond, but they didn't see that almost every one of these children had at least one big fish of at least one kilo.

I don't know whether the parents of these children's families, or whether these children will beat their farts with brooms when they bring their own fish to feed their blackheads.

Ye Guangrong thought maliciously.

Of course, ye Guangrong will not take care of these children when they feed their own "black head" with their own fish, which just saves them trouble.

Blackheads are not afraid of people. When they see children, they swim to the pond and wait for fish to eat.

Suddenly I heard someone talking in the distance. Wang Zai and Xiao Bai, who had been basking in the sun beside Ye Guangrong, jumped up and rushed over.

I saw the old village head leading a man who was wearing leather clothes and had an eye on his nose. Ye Guangrong saw that this man was not from Taoyuan village.

"Old village head, what brings you here all the time." Ye Rongrong stood up from the armchair and met the old village head. They said with a smile.
