Chapter 144 Hairpin
"Grandma, my mother said that eating tooths will cause toothache if I eat tooth. Aren't you afraid of toothache? My mother doesn't let me eat tooth..." Minghui said suddenly.
"It's okay, grandmother's teeth are good, I'm not afraid!" Aunt Niu opened her mouth and showed her teeth to prove it to the child.
"My teeth are good, does it prove that I can eat them too!" Minghui continued to ask.
"Your mother doesn't let you eat, I'll let you eat. I'll go to my grandmother's house to eat later!" Aunt Niu patted Minghui's head and said.
"Give it to you, take it!" Wang Wenling reluctantly handed it to her mother-in-law.
"Let's go, you two go to my grandmother's house with me!" Aunt Niu took the pastry and said to Minghui and Mingliang brothers.
After saying that, Aunt Niu took Minghui and Mingliang home. Niu Dashan did not go back with his mother, but went to his own field to take a look.
Aunt Niu returned home, and Ding Qiaoyun was still lying on the bed and still didn't get up. However, it was still early and it was not yet dinner time. She put the pastry she had just brought back on the table in the main hall for the two brothers to eat. She entered her room and didn't know what she was doing.
When Ding Qiaoyun woke up, she walked out the door and saw Minghui and Mingliang at her home, but she didn't see her brother and sister-in-law.
"Minghui, didn't your mother come?" Ding Qiaoyun asked.
"Auntie, my mother is at home. We came with my grandmother. This is the pastry my mother bought for her grandmother. It is delicious. Come and have some food!" Minghui said with a smile.
"You two can eat. When your brother and sister get up later, you can play together!" Ding Qiaoyun said.
"Well, my uncle said, you bought something for my mother. Can I take it back for my mother later?" Minghui could hear it clearly just now.
"Yes, your uncle is so quick-mouthed. I originally wanted to give your mother a surprise!" Ding Qiaoyun patted Minghui's head and said with a smile.
"I'll thank my aunt for my mother first!" Minghui said politely.
"This child is becoming more and more sensible. Eat quickly. I'll go to the kitchen to see what I'm eating today!" Ding Qiaoyun said and went to the kitchen to take a look.
I have eaten so greasy these days. Ding Qiaoyun wants to eat something light, but she searched for a while and it was mostly meat dishes such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc., and there were no vegetables. She felt that she had no appetite. Now she had a cold cucumber or something, which was very appetizing. But after she took a long time, she found a cabbage. On weekdays, she bought vegetables and other vegetables. Logically speaking, it was impossible for her mother-in-law to buy only one cabbage during the Chinese New Year. She saw carrots and other things yesterday, so why can’t she find any of them?
Ding Qiaoyun was searching and chanting there, but she didn't even notice when her mother-in-law entered the kitchen.
"What are you mumbling about?" As soon as Aunt Niu entered the kitchen, she saw her daughter-in-law bent over and looking for something in the kitchen. She was mumbling and didn't know what she was saying, and then she asked.
"Oh, Mom, you didn't even walk, you scared me to death!" Ding Qiaoyun stood up straight, and said in fear.
"You are guilty. Didn't I just ask you? As for being so scared?" Aunt Niu glanced at Ding Qiaoyun with a squinted look and said.
"Mom, what are we eating tonight? Why don't there be any vegetables at all? They are all meat dishes, and I'm tired of eating them!" Ding Qiaoyun asked.
"You just look for vegetables, have you forgotten? Our food is all in the cellar, and it's frozen outside. When the mountains come back later, just let him go down to get it. Don't mess around, let's see how messed up you!" said Aunt Niu.
"Yes, I forgot about the cellar. What's wrong with me recently? I always forget some things!" Ding Qiaoyun touched her head and said with a smile.
When Niu Dashan came back, Ding Qiaoyun quickly asked her husband to go to the cellar to get vegetables. Not long after, Niu Dashan brought carrots and cabbage, yam and a piece of lotus root. Now he knew what to eat for dinner!
Ding Qiaoyun thought that since she couldn't eat such delicious dishes as cold cucumbers here, she would like to think of some way! Looking at the vegetables in front of her, she suddenly thought that she could make frozen vegetables. It was both simple and easy to cook. It just so happened that the weather was cold outside, and it was a natural refrigerator!
/>Dry it as soon as he said it was dry. Ding Qiaoyun didn't feel frozen at this time. She quickly washed the cabbage and carrots, and asked her mother-in-law to help peel a few garlic. After the water on the cabbage and carrots was dried, cut it into shreds, put appropriate salt in it, then cut the peeled garlic into slices and put it in and mix well, clean the jar of wine at home, wipe the water dry, put the mixed cabbage and carrots in, and after sealing it, they were taken to the yard to freeze it. In this way, the frozen vegetables can be eaten after two or three days. Then mix some balsamic vinegar and sesame oil, sour and crispy, so delicious. Thinking of this, Ding Qiaoyun was so hungry that she swallowed her saliva!
When it was time to make dinner, in order to satisfy your craving, Ding Qiaoyun first mixed a cabbage. Although it was not as delicious as it was frozen, it could also relieve greasy!
When Aunt Niu was peeling garlic, she wondered what dish it took to make. When she saw Ding Qiaoyun put all the garlic and cabbage and carrots on the outside, she felt even more strange!
"I'm afraid that the vegetables will be frozen, so I put them in the cellar. You can pour them out and put them outside to freeze them. Aren't you afraid of them? Isn't this a waste of things?" Aunt Niu said a little unhappy.
"Mom, I used to eat this dish, it's delicious, don't worry, keep it safe, and you'll be satisfied!" Ding Qiaoyun wanted to eat this dish in winter in modern times. This was made in a natural environment and the taste was really great!
"It's better to be as delicious as you said!" Aunt Niu said angrily.
"By the way, mom, I bought you two hairpins when I went shopping today. Come and have a look, it's very suitable for you!" Ding Qiaoyun said quickly when she saw that her mother-in-law was about to go out.
"I am a big old woman, why are you wearing a hairpin? Just keep it for Xiaodong to wear it, I won't need it!" said Aunt Niu. She had worn a hairpin in the past few years she got married, and she hadn't worn it for decades, so she was not used to it.
"I have bought all my sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law. Besides, I bought it for you that is suitable for your age. It is not suitable for my sister-in-law to wear it. Come and see if it looks good on your head. If it is not good, you don't wear it!" Ding Qiaoyun was afraid that her mother-in-law would not come, so she went forward and grabbed her mother-in-law's hand.
"If I wear a hairpin now, the villagers wouldn't laugh at me as an old monster!" Aunt Niu said with a smile.
"Where is an old monster? Look at the old ladies in the county town, which one is not wearing a hairpin on your head? You have so many new clothes to match. What are you afraid of? It must be good-looking. The villagers can only envy you!" Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
Because Aunt Niu is not as hard-working as before and eats well, she looks much more energetic than before. In addition, she has gained a little weight, so she looks quite lucky. If it weren't for this, Ding Qiaoyun wouldn't have bought her mother-in-law's hairpin!
"You can speak with your mouth. It's better if you are half of yours from the second family!" Aunt Niu said with a smile.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, they had already arrived at Ding Qiaoyun's room.
"Hehe... Come and have a look!" Ding Qiaoyun said as she opened the brocade box in her hand.
A pair of exquisite silver beaded hairpins are presented in front of you. The shape is simple and generous, just suitable for people of the age of Aunt Niu.
"This hairpin looks fancy, I like it!" As soon as Aunt Niu saw the hairpin, her eyes began to shine and she said happily.
Originally, Aunt Niu thought her daughter-in-law bought a hairpin worn by a fancy young man. Unexpectedly, Ding Qiaoyun was so sensible. Just by looking at the color of the hairpin, you can tell that this pair of hairpin should be worth a lot of money!
People who love beauty do not matter their age. In the past, the conditions at home did not allow it. Now, if Aunt Niu bought a hairpin and worries her, she is worried that she will laugh at her. When she sees the hairpin Ding Qiaoyun’s purchase, it is so suitable for her age, she is so happy that she can’t stop talking about it!
"I just said you would like it. I'll put a bun on you and put this hairpin on and take a look. I'll make you more satisfied!" Ding Qiaoyun said as she took out the comb on the dressing table and started to put a bun on her mother-in-law.
When Ding Qiaoyun came here, the first thing she learned was to tie her head, so she got it done in just a few strokes. After combing her hair, she carefully put the newly bought beaded hairpin on her mother-in-law.
“
Okay, mom, look in the mirror again!" Ding Qiaoyun said.
"Is this still me? Why do you look so young and you are much more energetic? This hairpin is so beautiful!" Aunt Niu said a little embarrassedly.
"I also bought two for my younger brother, sister and sister-in-law. I will give them when they come!" Ding Qiaoyun said happily.
"Xiao Dong likes these things the most, I must be very happy to see them!" Aunt Niu also became very happy.
"Well, I also bought her a set of rouge powder. I guarantee she likes it. Now she is pregnant and cannot use it. She will be able to use it when she gives birth to a baby!" Ding Qiaoyun said. When she bought it, she didn't remember that pregnant people could not use these things. Later, when she thought that she had bought it, she still had to give it to her sister-in-law. At worst, the baby would be used after giving birth.
"When she comes to pay New Year's greetings, you can give it to her! I'll go to your Aunt Wang's house to make dinner first, and wait until I come back!" Aunt Niu couldn't wait to go out and show off her hairpin, and by the way, she also went out to praise her good daughter-in-law, which made people envy her.
"I think so too. When I send Minghui Mingliang back later, I will give the things I bought to my younger brother and sister. It just so happens that if I visit relatives in the past few days, she can use them." Ding Qiaoyun said.
The sound of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law awakened the sleeping Xiang'er. She rubbed her confused eyes and then saw her grandmother clearly.
"Grandma, you look so beautiful!" Xiang'er said in a sleepy voice.
"You are such a sycoon. Do you know what a good-looking person is? Just praise me!" Aunt Niu said with laughter and cry.
"I know, when I grow up, I will wear it too. My mother said, I will buy it for me when I grow up!" Xiang'er knew she was going to dress up at a young age.
"Yes, when you grow up, I'll buy it for you!" Ding Qiaoyun said dotingly.
Aunt Niu smiled and walked out of the room, preparing to go to Aunt Wang’s house to sit!
Ding Qiaoyun happened to take Xiang'er who was awake and sent Minghui and Mingliang back to the old house. Niu Dashan was watching Jun'er who was still sleeping at home. Ding Qiaoyun told her husband that she would go back and let her husband wait at home.
Ding Qiaoyun gave Wang Wenling two jade hairpins, which were bright and transparent. There were a few traces of milky white in the jade, which made it even more delicate. There were a few small tassels hanging down below, which would make a sound as the wind blows and people move. She believed that her brother and sister would definitely fall in love.
Sure enough, when Ding Qiaoyun took out these two hairpins, Wang Wenling's eyes were straightened, and even her tone of speaking at Ding Qiaoyun changed!
"Sister-in-law, let's have dinner in our yard today!" After Wang Wenling accepted these two hairpins, it was rare that Ding Qiaoyun had finished her meal here!
"I won't bother you anymore, I'm going back now!" Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, I won't leave you for dinner. Thank you for giving me my hairpin! Sister-in-law, you are so nice!" Wang Wenling raised the hairpin in her hand and said happily.
"Why are you so polite to me? We're leaving!" Ding Qiaoyun knew that her brother and sister were also polite, so she went back shortly after sitting down.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Niu Dashan went to the nearby market early, bought two chickens, cut a few kilograms of pork, and bought some pastries and other things. He planned to take his wife and children back to his father-in-law's house today. This festive ceremony must be prepared. The weather was too cold, and he wanted his wife and children to sleep more, so he went to the market by himself.
Niu Xiaodong originally planned to go back to her parents' home today, but when she heard that his elder brother and sister-in-law were going to Dingjiazhuang, she decided to come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Otherwise, Jun'er and Xiang'er would not be there, which would be quite boring!
When Niu Dashan came back from the market to buy things, Ding Qiaoyun had already gotten up and packed it up! As soon as she saw her husband buying good things from the market, she hurried into the house and woke up the two children, telling them that they were going to go to their grandfather's house today! When the two little guys heard that they were going to visit relatives, they were sleepy all of a sudden.
After the family packed it up, it was almost time to leave. Because they brought a lot of things, Niu Dashan simply hired a ox cart today and took his wife and children to drive the ox cart to Dingjiazhuang!
The two little guys chirped all the way, Niu Dashan looked back
Looking at his wife and children sitting behind, he felt that he was the happiest man in the world. He didn't seek wealth or honor. As long as the family was together safely, he would be content!
Soon the family arrived at Dingjiazhuang. Ding Erzhu and Aunt Ding prepared things early and waited for their family of four at home! Ding Erzhu also specially bought delicious candy for the children and the candied haws that the little ones like to eat!
Now Ding Erzhu and his wife are not short of food or drink, and their daughter also gives them a few taels of silver from time to time. They are living a fulfilling life now. When they see their daughter's family live happily, even if the old couple close their eyes, they don't have to worry about their daughter anymore!
Ding Qiaoyun returned to her parents' home, and she was still cooking. Her mother helped her. Niu Dashan sat in the main hall and talked with his father-in-law. The two children also played aside. Soon a sumptuous lunch was ready!
The family was sitting around the table and eating, and only a loud noise outside was heard, mixed with crying and loud scolding from others!
Chapter completed!
