Chapter 229 New Year's Evil
Sang Ye was always worried about the fact that Niu had coveted his own man, and even couldn't help but wonder whether Niu married Zheng Shuiqing was because he didn't give up on his own man and wanted to change his identity and continue to hook up.
Especially when she met Niu yesterday, her pretentious and eye-catching behavior was obvious. Even though she knew that her man would not do something that would be sorry for her, Sang Ye still felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart.
"I tell you, even if it is a woman you come up with, you won't have many glances at, let alone meet them, otherwise you will know what the consequences will be!"
While there was no one in the room, Mang Ye twisted the man's ear and warned heavily that even if she was regarded as a jealous woman, she would accept it. In short, her man would never allow other women to get involved.
Zheng Lin stretched out his hand and pulled the woman to his thigh and sat down. He asked with interest: "Husband wants to know more about the consequences. If the consequences are serious, even if a woman tied Huisband to the bed and stripped her clothes, Huisband would not do anything to sorry for her."
When Sang Ye heard this, he hugged the man's neck with both hands and bite him: "Then listen carefully to me. If you dare to do something that is sorry to me, I will dare to do something that is sorry to you! If you don't believe it, we can try it."
Zheng Lin's face changed suddenly, and she kissed her much rounded face. Finally, she looked at her red face and gritted her teeth and said, "I will never give you a chance to climb the wall, and you'd better give up your thoughts you shouldn't have!"
Sang Ye hummed, poked the man's chest and said, "This matter depends on you. As long as you can be consistent with me, I will naturally be wholehearted about you."
Zheng Lin lowered his head again and rubbed her bright red lips: "Do you still doubt your husband's feelings for you? Do you want to dissect your heart for you?"
Sang Ye pushed away the man's face and showed a disgusting look: "The heart will become red now. Who knows if it will turn black one day? I don't believe in you, but once a person changes his heart, even ten cows can't pull him back. What I said is to give you a reminder to let you know the consequences of changing your heart."
Zheng Lin was helpless and lit the woman's nose and cursed: "With you, a jealous jar, at home, you can rest assured even if you have this lustful heart and no courage for your husband!"
Sang Ye used this matter to let the man know his attitude towards cheating, but he didn't really want to force him to cheat. Seeing that he had said everything he should have said and his purpose was basically achieved, she didn't say it anymore and nodded and said, "Then I won't do anything that I'm sorry for you, you can rest assured."
The couple was tired of it for a while, until the children's play came from the door. They immediately separated and tidied up their clothes and walked towards the kitchen.
After Zheng Daniu and Hu came, Meng and Old Man Zheng replaced the two of them in the kitchen. Now half an hour has passed, the dishes that should be cooked have been cooked, and only the last dish of pig skin jelly needs Zheng Lin to finish it.
Meng asked Zheng Daniu and Hu's reason for coming to the house. Sang Ye briefly explained the matter, but he hid the story of Niu's covetousness towards her husband.
Even so, Meng was so angry that she was so loud that she became louder: "I thought she was just a little bit narrow-minded and coaxed the third brother to the two of us to be unfilial. I didn't expect that her mind was so vicious. Fortunately, she had separated long ago, otherwise what she would do to you and the children, who could guard against it!"
This time, Meng was really angry, even more angry than the two youngest sons who had not raised her in the first place. When she thought of Niu trying hard to figure out her unborn grandson, she had no feelings for Niu, and she hated her to the extreme.
Old Man Zheng was also very angry and asked a very critical question: "There are all separated. What is the benefit of her doing this? What is she trying to do?"
Sang Ye glanced at Zheng Lin jokingly, without saying a word.
Zheng Lin's scalp tightened and pretended to be puzzled, saying, "Maybe it was because he was aggrieved that he had not obtained much valuable things, so he came up with this method to disgust people."
When the old couple heard this, they felt that this was very likely, and they became even more dissatisfied with Niu.
Meng was worried that Niu would use bad tricks again, so she specifically reminded Sang Ye: "With your body in your body, you will not go out in the future if you can go out. If you meet Niu,
You stay away from her so that she won't hurt you madly again."
"Well, I'll be on guard against her."
I knew that my mother-in-law was kind, and although I didn't think Niu dared to hurt her directly, Sang Ye still listened to her mother-in-law's words.
The few people talked for a while until Duohua came in with a big-headed tiger head and shouted that they were hungry. They began to prepare the wine, drinks and meals they needed to sacrifice the gods, and could only sit down and have the New Year’s dinner after the sacrifice ceremony was completed.
Compared with the complicated ancestor worship rituals, the rituals of god worship are simpler. Usually, four bowls of rice, four dishes, tea and wine are placed in front of the shrine, burn incense and burn paper money, and then hang a string of firecrackers.
When celebrating the gods, the woman was not present. After Sang Ye and Meng put the offerings they should have been placed on the table, they went to the kitchen to wait. Zheng Lin and the old man Zheng and his son completed the entire ceremony of sacrifice.
About a moment later, there were loud firecrackers in the yard, which means that the ritual of sacrifice was completed and you can serve the food and have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There were only eight people in the family, and four were children. However, in order to make a good fortune, the Zheng family had sixteen dishes and soup dishes on the dining table, and they were very heavy. If the table was not limited and could not be placed, I would probably have picked up a few more dishes.
These sixteen dishes cannot be eaten at one time. They must be eaten for at least three days until they are sent to the New Year after the third year of the Chinese New Year. The ones they take also mean "there is more than every year". I hope I won't have to go hungry for the next whole year.
Although it is unfounded, every household will abide by it. People with poor conditions cannot make many dishes, and they will make more portions of the dishes they can make and try to survive the third day of the first lunar month.
The happiest thing about such a sumptuous New Year’s dinner is to spend a few more. Even if you can fill your stomach every day and eat meat every now and then, if you can eat so many delicious foods at once, the only way to celebrate the New Year.
Especially when the family is busy together, they can eat whatever they want and eat for a long time. They can play whatever they want after eating. They don’t have to worry about coming back late and missing the meal time and being told by adults. Even if they do something wrong in the past few days, they don’t have to worry about being scolded and beaten.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, you will get New Year’s money from your elders. Most of these New Year’s money will be collected by adults with various excuses, but a little will be left behind. Even if it is only one cent, you can buy a bunch of candied haws or candy cubes when you have the opportunity to go to the town.
When the family sat down around the table, Old Man Zheng said "Start" and was the first to move the chopsticks. The others picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Considering that mulberry leaves need to be avoided, the taste of the soup is slightly lighter than usual, which also retains the fresh fragrance of the food itself to the greatest extent, making it a unique taste, and the whole family is particularly satisfied.
After dinner, Duohua took her younger brothers to go out to play, and dragged Huan'er, who wanted to go back to her room to read, and played various interesting games with her friends of the same age in the village.
Huan'er was not familiar with the children in the village, but she was not worried about how much she was in the village. She wanted to go out for more walks, so she wouldn't be stuck in the room all day and become a nerd.
Without the children making a fuss, the family became much cleaner in an instant. While Meng was washing dishes and chopsticks, mulberry leaves prepared to make dumplings.
It is a custom to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and they are usually eaten during the night. In the next few days, relatives will come to pay New Year's greetings at home, and they will cook them to entertain relatives if they can't wait to eat. It is much more decent than simply cooking noodles.
This time, mulberry leaves were prepared to pack three kinds of dumplings with pure pork filling, mushroom pork filling and pork tofu filling. She beat Zheng Lin to wash the mushrooms, meat, tofu, onion, ginger and garlic that she wanted, and scooped up a full pot of flour to start kneading the noodles.
The dough used for making dumplings should be strong and moderately dry and wet. Otherwise, it will be too dry and not sticky, and it will swell and get too wet when cooked and it will easily stick. Once it sticks to the dustpan, it will not be shoveled with a spatula, so it requires certain skills to knead the dough.
Before the mulberry leaves had been reconciled, Zheng Lin had already washed the ingredients. Seeing that she had difficulty getting together, sweat was already seeping out of her forehead, she took over the dough errand and asked her to cut vegetables.
"No, no, don't add flour. Just knead it hard and it will be elastic and non-stick to your hands." Mangye stared at Zheng Lin's dough while cutting vegetables. Seeing that he was about to add it to the pot.
Flour quickly stopped him.
Zheng Lin didn't listen, and added two large bowls of flour to go in, and explained in his wife's glaring: "Around the sixth day of the lunar month, I have a few brothers coming to pay New Year's greetings. It's hard for you to cook and entertain them, just use these dumplings."
Sang Ye thought that the brothers he was talking about were people who retreated from the army like Zheng Chang, so he asked casually: "How many people are there? See if these fillings are enough."
Zheng Lin said: "It's just three people. I've calculated these fillings, and it's enough."
Sang Ye was stunned and asked in confusion: "No, I remember that on the day we got married, many people came to congratulate you. Even if someone couldn't come, there were more than three, right?"
Zheng Lin glanced outside the house, lowered his voice and said to his wife, "The identities of these three people are different from those of Changzi. You know someone, Zhang Niuyi, whom you met in the city when you bought a cow."
Sang Ye suddenly realized and asked nervously the next moment: "Are they involved in that matter? Will I find that I am the one they are looking for?"
Looking at his uneasy wife, Zheng Lin was about to reach out to comfort her, but when he saw the flour in his hands, he had to wrap his arms around her waist: "You are very different from that little person. Now you are pregnant again, and your temperament is very different. They will not doubt you for no reason, you can rest assured!"
After hearing this, Sang Ye felt a little relieved, but he was still a little worried: "A person with the same identity as you must be not simple. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get out of sick that day and avoid them?"
Zheng Lin was helpless and couldn't help shave her nose: "Is it useless to be a husband in your eyes that even a few people can't handle it? Even if you can't get sick this time, what about the next time? Dodging like this will easily arouse their suspicion. It's better to see them openly."
Sang Ye thought about it and felt that there was some reason, so he had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and nodded: "See you, then. If they are suspicious at that time, I will try to be smarter and not be seen through by them."
Zheng Lin was worried that she had been uneasy about this matter, so she found a more effective reason to comfort her: "There will be no problem. Think about it, Lao Zhang had seen you before, but when he saw your little portrait, he didn't realize it was you. Now that your appearance has changed a little, it is even more impossible to recognize it."
When Sang Ye heard the first half of the sentence, he agreed. When he heard the second half of the sentence, he felt something was wrong and stared at the man and asked, "I have changed a little? Isn't it just that my face is a little round and my waist is thicker? Do you dislike me for being fat?"
When I thought of enduring my body and even raising children for this man with the danger of my life, I was disliked after just getting a little fat. Mangye's heart was sore and cold, and his throat seemed to be blocked. I suddenly felt the urge to cry.
"Ye'er, what's wrong with you?" Looking at such a wife, Zheng Lin's movements were faster than his brain. He didn't care about the flour in his hands and directly hugged the person in his arms. His resolute and solemn face was completely confused at this time.
He didn't understand why his wife, who was asked aggressively the moment before, would cry the next moment, and he didn't understand why she was clearly talking about whether she would be recognized, but she suddenly became concerned about whether she was fat or not. She even looked at him with accusation like this, as if he was the unfaithful man who deserved to die.
Before Mangye could say anything, Meng, who had washed the dishes and chopsticks, came in and saw his son and wife holding each other.
A look of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw. As a result, she accidentally saw the eldest daughter-in-law's eyes red, and thought she was bullied by her eldest son. She immediately rushed up and pulled Zheng Lin away, grabbed Sang Ye's hand and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Ye, is A Lin bullying you? Tell your mother what grievances have you suffered, I will teach him a lesson for you, ah?"
After saying that, Meng did not wait for Sang Ye to answer, and shouted at Zheng Lin: "Xiao Ye is pregnant with your child in her belly. You can't say anything well, but you want to make her cry? A pregnant woman has a lot of thoughts and her temperament becomes unstable. Even if she does something wrong, you can't let her go?"
Meng herself is also a woman, and she can best understand the hardships of women. When she was young, she suffered the hardships of her mother-in-law, so she didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer the hardships she had suffered.
You can tell this by looking at the Ma and Niu above. Especially the Ma family, they gave birth to three children in succession.
My son, during pregnancy, he had a conflict with Zheng Shanqing, and Meng often stood on Ma's side to persuade his son.
Listening to his mother's accusations, Zheng Lin was even more confused. After reacting, he smiled bitterly and explained: "Mom, I didn't mess with Ye'er, really didn't!"
Meng Shiyou didn't believe it, so he patted Sang Ye's shoulder to comfort him, and simply ignored him.
At this time, Sang Ye's mood became much more stable. He explained to Meng with embarrassment: "Mom, I'm thinking too much, it's not about my husband's business, so don't talk about him."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head embarrassedly and did not dare to look at her husband's face. She also noticed that her emotions were unstable recently, and just a few trivial things could make her think of many things.
Especially when I met Niu yesterday, if she had been before, she wouldn't have been talking about it from last night to today. She was so suspicious that she even disliked herself, but she couldn't control her emotions at all.
Meng looked at her eldest son who looked worried, and then at her embarrassed eldest daughter-in-law. She knew that she was a misunderstanding, but she still reminded her eldest son:
"You, it's fine if you haven't come back before. Now you're at home, just stay with Xiaoye. Women with both bodies have a big temper, and it's good to wait until the child is born! If Xiaoye is angry with you, you must not be serious with her, otherwise they will be bad for her and the child in their stomachs."
After listening to his mother's advice, Zheng Lin suddenly realized and finally knew why his wife was like this. He nodded repeatedly and said solemnly: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Ye'er and stop making her angry."
When Meng heard this, she felt relieved. Of course, she believed that this son would not deliberately make his daughter-in-law angry, for fear that he would be dissatisfied with the uncertainty of his daughter-in-law's shadow, and his appearance would be revealed to make his daughter-in-law sad. Now he could understand that that would be the best.
