Returning to the city in the 1980s and pampering my daughter-in-law

Chapter 41

Years ago, every household issued tickets for the Chinese New Year, which they cut and used. Su Yan used these tickets to buy melon seeds, rock candy, milk candy, wolfberry, longan and other new year necessities in the city.

She also made new clothes for the two babies, Duo Duo is a new red dress, and the front is a new blue dress.

On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, after dinner, Su Yan and Gu Ye took a broom and a feather duster to clean up all the cobwebs and dust in the corners of the house. The two of them worked until after ten o'clock, and the whole house was clean and comfortable.

Su Yan also prepared fermented glutinous rice, soak the glutinous rice well, put it in koji to ferment, and drink sweet fermented glutinous rice after the Chinese New Year.

The kindergartens of Qianqian and Dodo have the same holidays as the employees, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, with a five-day holiday. As for Gu Ye, he can take Sundays off. The more holidays the busier he is, he takes turns.

On the last Sunday of the year before the year, the two children had just been called out by other children in the morning, and they ran back and said, "Mom, let's go to the village to watch the slaughter of pigs."

Su Yan said, "What's so interesting about killing pigs?"

When we were in the countryside, every time the production team slaughtered pigs, everyone happily went to watch. Su Yan felt that the two children were young, so she refused to let them watch.

Before Su Yan listed the names of the children, he said, "They are all going."

Before Su Yan could convince them, Zhang Chunhua and Li Xiuzhen came and said, "Su Yan, have you bought meat for the New Year? The village kills pigs. Let us Go and see?"

Since they came to call, Su Yan said to go and have a look.

When they arrived, luckily the pigs had been slaughtered and they were blowing and shaving the pigs. Many people were watching. The yard was very lively and there was a hot and smelly smell.

Qianqian and Dodo watched with relish with their friends. After watching the butcher divide the meat, they went to see the owner cut up the coagulated pig blood and boiled it in a pot.

Although Su Yan thinks that children are not suitable for watching butchering pigs, Qianqian and Dodo enjoy watching.

There are a lot of people who want to buy pork, and most people are reluctant to eat more meat during the Chinese New Year. They all buy one or two catties, and at most three catties. Su Yan originally wanted to buy more, but seeing this situation, buying too much meat is too conspicuous, so she bought it. I bought three catties of meat and a catty of pig blood.

The other military wives are also very conscious, and they don't buy much meat.

Carrying the meat and passing by Daji, Su Yan also bought oranges and grapefruits, and also went to the tofu shop to buy a piece of tofu.

When she got home, Su Yan made stewed tofu with minced pork blood and minced garlic. This dish was particularly nutritious.

In addition to this dish, there are pork slices with winter bamboo shoots and egg bean curd soup.

While cooking, Gu Ye came back from the camp and brought back the New Year's goods, including rice, oil, pork, sausage, and fish. He carried these things to the kitchen, and Su Yan returned these things to everyone. Gu Ye said: "Grandpa asked us to have New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve."

It is popular to have New Year's Eve dinner in this era, because everyone is working during the day and there is no time to cook a big meal at noon.

I have to go back sooner or later, especially during the Chinese New Year, Su Yan said: "Then what time shall we go?" Gu Ye
