Soon after transplanting the rice seedlings, it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Xu Zuyuan brought rice dumpling leaves, glutinous rice, red beans and bacon to Uncle Jun's house, and asked Uncle Qiugui to help make rice dumplings.

Jin Huan watched Aunt Qiu Gui and her daughters-in-law happily making rice dumplings, and even Grandma Taizu was handing over a rice dumpling leaf with a thread wrapped around it.

In my previous life, Jinhuan had eaten many kinds of rice dumplings, but I had never made them myself.

I couldn't help but pick up the rice dumpling leaves and wanted to try them out. I just started wrapping them with great joy. I couldn't figure it out at first, but after wrapping a few, I was able to wrap them well.

"Look, Zuzu!" Jinhuan picked up a rice dumpling and approached Master Xu: "Are the rice dumplings I made good?"

Grandpa Xu was as happy as if he were presenting a treasure, and he really looked at the rice dumplings carefully: "Well, the rice dumplings made by our Xiao Yu'er are all as good as Xiao Yu'er (called Zhan: good-looking, energetic)!"

"Xiao Yu'er is so capable!" Jia Junbo also liked it.

His eldest daughter-in-law Li Juxiang is sweet-tongued. When Zhang Qiugui fell in love with her, he felt that she could complement his eldest son Xiang Dang's clumsy tongue:

"I really like girls who look like Xiao Yu'er. If I can conceive a girl who is as smart and handy as Xiao Yu'er, I will wake up laughing even when I fall asleep!"

"Sister-in-law, let alone being the same as Xiao Yu'er, if my Xiaolan grows up and is half as good as Xiao Yu'er, I will burn incense!" Zeng Qiaofen, the second daughter-in-law, looked at her daughter in the cradle and said with a smile.

.

Zhang Qiugui's fingers were flying up and down as he quickly wrapped the rice dumplings, and he didn't forget to echo: "The work done by people with skillful hands is to look and feel comfortable!"

"Well, I, Huaifang, have the most skillful hands! No one can compare with me!" Grandma Taizu held the rice dumpling leaves with a serious look on her face.

Everyone was amused by Grandma Taizu's unexpected situation.

In less than an hour, more than a hundred rice dumplings were wrapped and filled into a large basin.

Grandpa Xu left 30 to Uncle Jiajun’s family. His family had a large population, and one person could only share two at most to try out the early adopters.

Jia Junbo's family members were too embarrassed to refuse. Grandpa Xu put the rice dumplings on the table and left in a hurry.

"Put it away! Let's try it when the Dragon Boat Festival is cooked the day after tomorrow! Our family is no less exposed to Mr. Liu! We don't care about this anymore.

Tomorrow Xiangdang will go to the Jianshui River to lower the net, catch some fish and give them to Mr. Liu, the little fish love to eat them!" Jia Junbo told Aunt Qiu Gui to put away the rice dumplings.

In Tianshui Village, there is a custom of hanging calamus and mugwort at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. Basically every family will hang a handful of calamus and mugwort on the door. If the conditions are good, they will also make sachets and hang them on the doors and windows.

Calamus has a fragrant aroma and is a magical herb that can prevent epidemics and exorcise evil spirits in traditional Chinese culture. It is the first of the five auspicious signs in the sky and symbolizes the sword that drives away bad luck. Because of its growing season and shape, it is regarded as feeling the "qi of a hundred yins", and its leaves are shaped like a sword.

type, inserted at the door to ward off evil spirits.

Mugwort represents Zhaobaifu. It is an herb that can cure diseases. It can be inserted at the door to prevent mosquitoes and can also be used for moxibustion. In fact, when I had diarrhea in my previous life, the elders just pulled out the leaves of Chen Ai and rolled them into pills.

It feels really good after eating it. It’s magical even if you think about it.

Grandpa Xu originally planned to go to the river to cut some fish back tomorrow when he took Jinhuan for a run. Just after lunch, brother Xiang Dang from Uncle Jun's family came with two fish and calamus and mugwort leaves.

"Sixth Ancestor, my father explained that this is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you are also celebrating your birthday. I caught some fish and brought some to you so that you can have a meal with Xiaoyuer tomorrow!" Xu Xiangdang said to Xu Zu

I am a bit shy when speaking.

Speaking of which, Xu Xiangdang is also in his twenties and is the father of two children. His temperament is not as talkative and smooth as his father who is a party secretary. He is silent and seldom talks, and is always a bit shy. However, he is tall and strong in life and can do farm work.

He is a good hand, and when he goes to work, he gets full work points every day, but he still doesn't look at the face of his party secretary father.

Grandpa Xu took the fish and mugwort and calamus and thanked him: "You are considerate. I was planning to cut the calamus and mugwort leaves tomorrow morning. It saves trouble. Go back and say thank you to your father for me!"

After Jin Huan listened to their conversation, she realized that the Dragon Boat Festival was Grandpa Xu’s birthday. She quickly said to Xu Xiangdang, “Thank you, Brother Xiangdang. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known that tomorrow is my ancestor’s birthday!”

Xiang Dang still waved shyly, then said goodbye and went home.

Grandpa Xu took the fish to the kitchen to clean it up. Jinhuan was thinking about what to give to Grandpa Xu tomorrow.

I haven't thought of anything good for a long time. For one thing, I don't have money to buy gifts now. Even if I have money, I can't buy anything new at this time.

Secondly, my DIY skills are very poor at the moment, and my craft skills are zero. It is basically impossible to make gifts by myself.

Finally, I decided on the Li Zhu Space. What is there in the space that is suitable for birthday gifts?

Jinhuan's consciousness was immersed in the space, he walked around in a circle, and determined his target in the backyard of the wooden building.

When I first got the space, there was a peach tree in the backyard. It had been blooming for several years, but there were no fruits.

I watered, fertilized, and pruned the trees all by myself, but no peaches came out.

Later, I ruthlessly poured water from the spiritual spring all over, but there was no change at all.

Jin Huan finally came to the conclusion that this peach tree was male and was only responsible for attracting bees and butterflies and was as beautiful as a flower. It was not responsible for giving birth to offspring.

But a few days ago, I accidentally discovered that this tree was actually bearing fruit. A total of nine peaches were born in a short time, and they matured quickly. The largest peaches hanging on the branches can be as big as a small grapefruit, and the color is pink and translucent.

The red color is very attractive and exudes a sweet fragrance.

The bees that Jinhuan keeps in the yard are probably buzzing around these peaches because of the sweet smell.

Jin Huan decided to pick the biggest peach to celebrate Grandpa Xu’s birthday tomorrow. Once he took out this peach, Grandpa Xu would probably make up his own mind that this was the flat peach from the Queen Mother’s Flat Peach Festival.

The next day, the Dragon Boat Festival fell on the weekend, and the couple Chen Dahai and Li Sufen came to the door on a bicycle carrying a bunch of things.

Jinhuan said hello to the couple and sweetly called uncle and uncle.

Grandpa Xu looked at the couple who came in with large and small bags, and complained a little to Chen Dahai: "Why did you bring so many things here? You can't live well!"

"Don't worry, Chief, your holiday allowance is also in it, not all of it is prepared by us ourselves!" Li Sufen quickly explained:

"These rice, flour, grain and oil are the chief's allowance, and these two pairs of shoes and jackets are made by me for the chief and Xiao Yu'er to wear.

The malted milk and toffee were sent back by our Liangwazi, saying we were honoring your old age!"

"How much does it cost for two pairs of shoes and a gown? Malted milk and sugar are saved from Liangwazi's allowance. You don't know how hard it is for the border guards. I collected the shoes and gown and sent the nutritional supplements back to Liangwazi."

!" Grandpa Xu said to Chen Dahai with a serious face.

Chen Dahai scratched his head. He was clumsy and didn't know what to say.

It was Li Sufen who took over: "Chief, don't worry, Liangwazi's allowance has been increased. It's more than eighty a month. The food, drink, clothing and housing of the army are all taken care of. He can't spend much money as a single man."
