The night passed quickly, and it was the twenty-ninth day of the new year. New Year’s Eve was just around the corner, and the smell of the New Year was all over the big cities and alleys.
That day was also the last shift for office workers. Zhao Li sat around waiting for news from the lawyer for several days, but he went to urge him again. The answer he received was that the bank was still busy with work and that it had to be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
It's not his turn yet.
Zhao Li was so anxious that his liver was on fire. The bank had not assessed the value of the real estate, could not use it as a mortgage, and could not make up for the leak. His son and grandson could only spend the New Year in the detention center.
Zhao Yixiong in the detention center was even more panicked. Because the amount of public funds embezzled, embezzled and evaded was huge, he could not be released on bail, which meant that he would spend the New Year in prison. His body was injured, and his spirit was hit one after another. In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.
It’s also miserable.
Zhao Zongze was even more frightened. He had been to the detention center before. At that time, his father protected him, and he was released on bail after staying for a few days. Now even his father is in the detention center. Yan Xing and the He family have stated that they will investigate to the end. If grandpa cannot protect him,
He may spend several years in jail.
With fear in his heart and no news coming from the outside world, the formerly elegant and graceful Young Master Zhao became disheveled and less energetic than a fan.
Compared to Zhao Li's anxiety, Mrs. Wang's family felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, they postponed the wedding of Wang Yuxuan and Zhao Zongze. If the engagement had not been cancelled, there was no guarantee that the Wang family would not be dragged into the trap by the Zhao family and take the blame for the Zhao family.
Similarly, the person who had been hanging around for a long time in Le Fukang was relatively stable. The Chao family did not take any actions against the Le family, which proved that Mr. Wu still had a lot of face. The Chao family also had to give Mr. Wu face and could not suppress the Le family at will.
With the He family raising a butcher's knife against the Zhao family and his son, the Chao family men no longer need to step on the Zhao family, since there will be others who will add insult to injury.
The He family was not prepared to beat the Zhao family father and son to death with a stick. After taking control of the Feixia Group, they just dragged it away so tepidly, allowing others to watch the show, and giving those who wanted to step on the Zhao family enough time to find
The Zhao family’s handle.
The elders were playing with the Zhao father and son. He Xiaoliu and He Mingxin were on holiday just like a cat nesting in the winter. They stayed at home writing and scratching every day, tearing apart and knocking. If they needed anything, they would ask their brothers to help.
Procurement.
The young and old of the He family knew that Xiaoliu was doing research according to the little doctor's request and gave them full support. They helped him find whatever he needed. Even if they wanted to play with Xiaoliu, they were rejected.
Young people from other families did not see He Xiaoliu. Wang Ruichen, the second young master of the family, had seen He Xiaoliu for advice a few times. He could not understand what He Xiaoliu was up to.
When Le Yun returned home, she had already put all the people and things in the capital aside and enjoyed her vacation happily. After having breakfast on the 29th of the year, she took the tools and a hoe and ran excitedly to dig konjac in the back garden.
p>
Le's father Zhou Qiufeng also ran to join in the fun to enjoy the happy time of family happiness.
Seizing the opportunity to dig konjac, Leyun dug the soil at the spot marked by her father. Konjac is suitable for cultivation in shallow soil. The bigger it is, the closer it is to the mud surface. After digging away about two centimeters of soft soil, it was possible to dig out the skin of konjac.
Remove all the soil, expose the head, and then pry.
The konjac that was pried out had sprouts growing on the concave top of its head, and there was some soil. The rest of the area was smooth. The skin was light yellowish brown and the top was dark brown.
Konjac is really as big as a washbasin and is more eye-catching than an old pumpkin.
Dad Le helped brush off the dirt on the top and moved it aside.
The largest konjac was unearthed, leaving a big hole. Le Yun filled the excavated soil back, dug out three more konjac weighing four to five kilograms, and moved them out of the garden to wash them.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, wanted to help but was kicked away. The reason was: the new mother was pregnant with her younger brother, and konjac would cause allergies, so she couldn't touch it; the father had to have surgery at night, so he shouldn't touch anything that could numb people.
The couple couldn't laugh or cry and walked away to go about their own business, leaving the child alone to mess around with.
When her father and Aunt Feng were gone, Le Yun checked that no one was around, and quickly moved a few konjacs out of the space. She compared them and made her want to cry. The konjacs in her space were stimulated by well water to grow.
, the largest one is only a little smaller than the largest one dug in the garden, and the others are all bigger than those dug in the garden.
It doesn't matter if it's a little bigger or smaller. If it's a bit bigger, she can't adjust it even if she wants to. After all, her father and Aunt Feng are not short-sighted, so they can't not see it.
I had no choice but to swap the largest old konjac and leave the other three alone. I used a brush to scrub the konjac. The big one was dug out from the medicinal field early this morning. She cleaned it very well and mainly scrubbed the smaller ones.
of.
Brush away the mud and sand, and then scrape the konjac skin to avoid residual skin residue in the folds.
Wash the big piece, throw it back into the space, and take out another big piece dug from the garden and scrub and scrape the skin.
Clean up the big piece dug in the garden, cut it into pieces with a knife, leave half of it, and throw the other half back into the space, then twist out another big piece from the space, cut a few more pieces, and mix the two konjac pieces together.
After completing the story of stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix, Le Xiaoxiao was happy. He scrubbed the little konjac, washed it, scraped the skin, put it in a bucket and took it home.
Lele's father, Zhou Qiufeng, was mixing dough to make cakes and cakes. He was surprised when his child came back so quickly. Didn't Lele use konjac as a toy?
When I saw the konjac cut into pieces, I almost thought that the girl... had a fever! When she dug konjac before, Lele would either hold the konjac and play with it as a ball or throw it around, and she was not allowed to grind it until it was enough. This time she was so... anxious.
It makes people wonder if she didn't sleep well and her mind is a little unclear.
The young couple were surprised and didn't ask why. They just let their girl run around. Le classmate brought a large plastic basin and brought the stone for grinding konjac, lime water and the potion she prepared. They mixed the lime water and potion.
Mix it, spoon some into a basin, then move to a bench, put on gloves, sit down and start grinding konjac.
The konjac flour in the shopping mall is processed in a scientific way to make powder, then mixed with water, and then frozen into konjac and beans. The original method of making konjac is actually the kind of earthwork used in rural areas: grinding.
The specific operation is to pick a stone with good texture and slightly convex and concave feeling as a grinding board, and rub it slowly. After grinding, the raw konjac will turn into a gel-like paste, then mix it well, and let it cool for a while to solidify into a jelly.
shape, then boil water, cut into pieces and boil in the water, cook over high heat for several hours, until it is no longer numb on the tongue and can be taken out of the pot. After that, mix with ice, stir-fry and stew, and eat how you want.
Of course, when grinding konjac, be sure to use lime water or water with the same substance as lime water. Without lime fire, konjac cannot condense, and remember to wear gloves. Some people will be allergic to raw konjac, and their hands will itch when grinding konjac.
Except for people with special constitutions such as numbness and burning pain, they should not taste raw konjac. If you taste it, you may be poisoned. Drinking lime water can relieve the symptoms in mild cases. In severe cases, you may die from heart failure before even the hospital can rescue you.
Le Xiao's classmate cannot touch raw konjac before she is four years old. After the age of four, it is okay to roll around in the konjac. Therefore, she does not use gloves when washing the konjac. To avoid worrying her father and new mother, she still wears gloves to protect her hands when grinding the konjac.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, was making steamed buns in the main room. It was cold, so he put a clay stove aside. The two of them sat across from each other at the table, where they could reach the fire. After the children started working, they moved the stove to a suitable place.
It can be roasted by fire.
The three of them each did their own work. Zhou Qiufeng made a batch of steamed buns and steamed them. Dad Le, who was unable to move, sat down to make steamed buns. The couple watched the children, watching more and more gelatinous paste in the basin.
There are less and less raw konjac, and in less than an hour, fill the pot, stir evenly, cover it tightly, cover it with a thin cloth and set it aside to cool, then change to a medium-sized pot.
When the medium-sized pot was full, there was still raw konjac that had not been polished. Le’s father Zhou Qiufeng looked at me and I looked at you, with a confused look on his face. There were only a few konjac, so one big pot and one small pot should be enough. Why?
Will there be so much? Can Lelepei’s potion increase production?
Le Yun ignored the strange look in her father's and Aunt Feng's eyes, and worked excitedly, filling another medium-sized pot, and finally polished the konjac. Of course, she left a fist-sized piece near the buds, and those buds were still good.
Plant again.
After mixing the konjac paste and leaving it to freeze, she picked up the konjac sprouts that had been set aside and rolled them in a layer of dust in the kitchen. Then she took them to the back garden and dug a small hole in the place where they grew before planting them, covering only one layer.
On the shallow soil, get some ground ash and sprinkle it on the surface, then cover it with a layer of dung grass.
If the nutrition is sufficient, the konjac that has been ground once this year will grow almost as big as this year next year, but it is a normal size. It will take two or three years to grow into an extra-large size.
After planting the konjac, when she saw the leeks on the side, she divided the plant and took out a small handful and threw them back into the space. She then dug up a few green onions and threw them into the space as seedlings. Le Yun was satisfied and left the back garden happily. Children in the city
She has the blessings of urban children, and the happiness of rural children. She is a native rural child and cherishes her own happiness. Especially when she comes back from a trip to Kyoto, she feels the value of rural life.
You can drink from the mountain streams in the countryside, but you cannot drink the water in the cities directly even if it has been disinfected. There is no harm in comparing. After comparing, I still feel that it is simpler and happier to stay in the countryside.
After sending the hoe and the dustpan containing manure and grass back to the pig pen, Le Yun secretly threw some sweet potato vines to the pigs to eat. Then she washed her hands and patted her whole body with a rag to avoid dust. When she went to the stairwell, she took off her waterproof shoes and changed into another one.
Plush slippers.
After lunch, Zhou Qiufeng packed up her belongings and her family went to the mountain to worship their ancestors.
During the Chinese New Year in the countryside, every household brings sacrifices to their ancestors' graves to pay homage to their deceased elders in the first three or two days, usually to the first three generations. The old people say that one generation takes care of the three generations, so when worshiping, they start with the eldest generation in the family.
Going back one or two generations, that is, worshiping parents, grandparents. If the graves of the ancestors of the previous generation are close to each other, worship them one by one. If they are far away, just worship the grandparents and parents. Some people only worship their parents.
Yes.
The cemeteries of the two deceased generations of the Le family are not far from each other, and are not far from the Zhou family's graves, so there is a part of the same road when going there. In the afternoon, the Zhou family and the Le family will go together.
Grandma Zhou's family and Village Chief Zhou are descendants of the same great-grandfather. Village Chief Zhou is the youngest in the Zhou family. The Zhou family calls him Uncle Man or Grandpa Man. "Man" is a dialect, which means "unitary". They call him his wife.
For Aunt Man or Grandma Man.
Because they are descendants of the same ancestor, the young and old members of Zhou Village Chief’s family went with Brother Zhou’s family to pay homage to their great-grandfather.
It became lively. Dad Le drove, carrying his wife and girl, as well as Grandma Zhou, Zhou Chunmei, Sister-in-law Zhou and Grandma Zhou Man. Brother Zhou drove Zhou Qiufeng's open car to carry his son, Village Chief Zhou and his four
The grandchildren, Zhou Cun’s eldest son Zhou Dahai and Zhou Xiaohai each rode motorcycles with their wives.
Zhou Chunmei sat next to her grandma and mother. Opposite her were Grandma Zhou Man, her aunt and Le Yun. She felt very comfortable looking at Le Yun opposite her. Especially when she looked at Le Yun's clothes, she felt that they were eye-catching. Those clothes turned out to be world-class.
Famous brand DonnaKaran Donna Karan brand windbreaker.
Village Chief Zhou’s father was good friends with Grandpa Le Tai. Grandpa Le Tai saved the life of Village Chief Zhou’s father. Village Chief Zhou almost had a dystocia when he was born. It was Grandpa Le Tai who saved mother and son. The Zhou family is grateful to the Le family. Zhou
The village chief and Grandpa Le are brothers. At that time, Le's father had a disabled leg and was too weak to make steel. He dared to throw off Le's father's ears.
Grandma Zhouman sometimes goes to her daughter’s house to help her great-grandson, and sometimes she goes to help her eldest son who is doing business in Ling County. She is not at home during the summer vacation for Xiao Le’s classmate.
Sitting in the car, the old lady held the Lejia girl's hand, smiled and asked questions, including whether she was happy in college and how medicine was going.
Le Yun is a good child who respects the elderly and loves the young. She always answers all questions. When it comes to some relatively private issues, she avoids the most important ones and ignores the easy ones.
The old man and the young man opposite were chatting happily, which made Zhou Chunmei feel depressed. After staying up for a few minutes, she finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Everyone got off the car and the young men and women carried ancestor sacrifices.
Leyun carried the bamboo basket for the sacrifices to make it easier for the father and the new mother; the Zhou family were all young people carrying things, and a group of people walked up the mountain.
When Grandma Zhou Man, her father, and Yue Qing all came forward, Zhou Chunmei slowly moved to her aunt and asked in a stern voice: "Aunt, where did you buy the clothes you bought for Le Yun? They look very good.
It looks good, is it expensive?”
"I didn't buy the clothes on Lele," Zhou Qiufeng said with a smile on her face: "Lele's clothes were bought for her by the wife of her head teacher at the university. They are fully matched inside and outside, and there are...
Friends also gave her some clothes. Lele has so many clothes that she can wear them all in a day or a month, so her dad and I don’t have to worry about clothes."
"Teacher is helping Le Yun buy clothes? How old is that teacher?" Zhou Chunmei wondered if she was hearing hallucinations? Teachers' wives usually prevent their husbands from hooking up with female students. How can anyone buy this or that for a student?<
/p>
The niece's words were obviously making people think wrongly. Zhou Qiufeng's face suddenly darkened and her tone became cold: "Don't think so bad of people. The grandson of the tutor and professor of Lele University is one year older than Lele."
Years old, the professor’s wife has no daughter or granddaughter. She wants a considerate little cotton-padded jacket, treats Lele as her granddaughter, gives a jade bracelet worth eight or nine hundred thousand as a meeting gift, and helps Lele buy clothes. What’s the matter?”
Zhou Chunmei felt even worse after receiving the cold words from her aunt. She heard that Le Yun had a jade bracelet worth eight or nine hundred thousand yuan. She took a deep breath. It was worth hundreds of thousands as a meeting gift. How rich would that be?
?
"Gu, I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that Le Yun is young and afraid of being cheated. Gu, are Le Yun's teachers very rich?" She originally wanted to turn around and leave, but followed her aunt to inquire about gossip.
.
"I don't know. Anyway, I just know that the professor's family supports her in helping Lele buy things." Zhou Qiufeng didn't want to go into too much detail. Lele said that what kind of family the professor and his wife's family were like, it was fine for her and Yueqing to know.
There is no need to show off to others and help Lele attract hatred.
The aunt didn't want to say more, but Zhou Chunmei couldn't find out anything even if she wanted to ask. She walked with her for a short distance, but it was really boring, so she went ahead by herself and walked with Zhou Chunmei's grandchildren.
A group of people walking together not far away went separate ways.
The Zhou family went to pay homage to their great-grandfather, and Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, took the girl to pay homage to his family's ancestors. They didn't have to climb far and walked about half a mile to get there.
The graves of Grandpa Le and Grandma Le are on the side slope of the mountain. The front of the grave is relatively flat, and the graves of the two generations are only about ten meters apart.
The family first paid homage to their great-grandfather. Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, helped his grandparents clean up the dead weeds on the grave. Le Yun took paper money and ingot wine.
After some tidying up, incense was burned, wine and food were put on the table, and a string of long firecrackers were set off before the paper was burned.
When Zhou Qiufeng married into the Le family, it was her first time as a daughter-in-law of the Le family to pay homage to the ancestors of the Le family. With the baby in her belly, she respectfully knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times to her grandparents.
After that, we went to pay homage to Grandpa Le and Grandma Le. We also cleaned the graves first, then burned incense and put out wine and food to pay our respects.
Zhou Qiufeng also kowtowed three times in front of the graves of her parents-in-law, officially paying homage to her parents-in-law as her daughter-in-law.
Le Yun's eyes were sore. She had grown up and could protect herself, but her grandparents did not wait until this day. They could not see the day when she would grow up and become famous. Fortunately, she helped her grandparents find a good son.
Daughter-in-law, my grandparents will have a grandson in the near future. I think my grandparents will be happy to know that they know this.
She didn't cry. The person who killed her grandparents had not yet received retribution. She didn't cry. She wanted to smile and see how those people would live. She wanted to send those people to hell with her own hands and let them confess to their grandparents.
.
There is some hatred that I can’t forget even if I want to.
Every time she was tormented by her aunt, every year during the Qingming Festival or when she visited the graves to worship her ancestors during the New Year, the hatred hidden in her heart would spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, reminding her all the time why her close relatives died and how she ended up there.
Walking in the fields.
Fortunately, her father didn't know the reason for her grandfather's death. According to grandma, her father was too strong-willed and couldn't hide his thoughts. Once he knew some secrets, he would collapse even if he didn't find anyone to fight for.
A person who hides hatred in her heart will not be happy. She does not live for revenge, but no one wants her to forget her enemies, and no one wants her to give up revenge. She will not take revenge unless the sun no longer rises from the east.
Le Yun burned paper money in handfuls and pursed her lips. Soon, soon, soon, when she becomes famous in the medical field, when she has enough connections and strength, she can use the blood of her enemies to pay homage to her relatives.
Spirit.
When all the ashes of the paper money were extinguished and no more sparks appeared, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng put away the worship supplies, put them into a bamboo basket, and the family slowly went down the mountain.
