Ding Qiunan threw a copy of "Human Structure" on the table, turned around and ran away.
In the air filled with the smell of disinfectant, a word floated over: "Brother Donglai, study on your own."
Li Donglai:...
I was stunned for a long time, and finally I could only smile and scratch my head.
Girls in this era are very simple and there is no internship period before marriage.
Of course, self-study is impossible.
past life,
As a bad student, I haven't had any late self-study since I entered high school.
It’s even more impossible in this life!
Still have to... find a way as soon as possible and let the master provide one-on-one guidance...
he....tui!
...
Tomorrow is the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
When Li Donglai was in Qinjiagou, he was busy with "Three Summers" at this time.
I was busy working in the fields every day, and when I came home to wash my face, a basin of clear water suddenly became turbid.
Even eating is in a hurry.
When the big bell at the entrance of the village rings,
Just put down the bowl and pull the pulley.
There is no time for the holidays at all.
In the memory of Dragon Boat Festival,
There is only the fragrance of wormwood on the roadside.
Now that I have entered the city, I naturally want to have a good time.
Li Donglai rode his bicycle and first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for 2 yuan and 10 cents and two kilograms of food stamps. He bought red beans, glutinous rice, and white sugar with the sugar stamps.
Not much, only about two taels of each item.
It just so happened that Xu Damao gave him a big bag of wild dates last time, which was suitable for wrapping red date rice dumplings.
Return home.
Li Xiaomei is already busy.
She took out last year's rice dumpling leaves and was spreading them on the table to clean them.
Zongzi leaves are actually sun-dried corn leaves.
In rural areas, it is often used to steam steamed buns, so that the steamed buns will not stick to the steamer after they are cooked.
In autumn, when the corn is about to mature, every household will pick off the still green corn leaves and dry them in the sun for later use.
"Buy so much glutinous rice, we can't finish it!" Li Xiaomei took out the glutinous rice from the medical kit and immediately pouted.
This brother is getting married soon and really doesn’t know how to save money.
Li Donglai touched her little head dotingly: "You forgot the year before last,
Is that the rice dumpling given by Aunt Wang next door?"
Li Xiaomei pouted her little mouth,
It calmed down all of a sudden.
The rice dumpling was not cooked, so she ate it.
I had a stomachache for two days.
Feeling that she was wronged, Li Xiaomei stopped mumbling and started busy making rice dumplings.
She had seen the aunt in the village making rice dumplings.
Use a small rice dumpling leaf, bend it once, change the direction and bend it again to form two corners.
Tuck the tip of the leaf into the corner leaf layer and use another leaf.
After making the same two rolls, add glutinous rice in both pairs, cross them together and tie them tightly.
A small four-cornered rice dumpling is formed, which looks like a pig's claw.
This is called pig's feet rice dumplings.
Li Xiaomei has finished wrapping the rice dumplings, and Li Donglai has also boiled the water.
Place the rice dumplings on the steamer and continue cooking.
The two brothers and sister held their chins in their hands and waited in front of the coal stove.
It seems that what’s in the pot is not rice dumplings, but expectations for the future.
...
A faint fragrance, along with the white mist, passes through the crack of the door,
It floated into the yard.
The backyard of Yi Zhonghai's home.
Yi Zhonghai was eating eggs boiled with mugwort leaves,
Smell the fragrance.
The eggs in my mouth suddenly lost their flavor.
The aunt stood at the door and looked around, then turned around and said, "It's Li Donglai's house cooking rice dumplings.
His life is getting better and better."
Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Don't look at the fact that Li Donglai's salary is only 48.5, which is not as high as mine. As a doctor, he has a lot of extra money."
Liu Haizhongjia.
Liu Haizhong was drinking a small drink with peanuts.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stood aside, watching eagerly.
He smelled the fragrance in his bangs and clucked his tongue twice: "Can Li Donglai afford the rice dumplings?"
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at his brother with a bruised nose and swollen face: "You can also give me some future, and you can make rice dumplings for me in the future."
Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu: "..."
Next door is Xu Damao's house.
Xu Damao also eats rice dumplings, but he buys them from the market.
He smelled the fragrance, took another look at the rice dumplings in his hand, and said, "Brother Donglai, my jujubes."
Opposite the Jia family.
Ms. Jia Zhang was taken away by the Security Bureau, detained for five days, and fined ten yuan.
Qin Huairu was worried about raising money and had no time to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Smelling the fragrance, she stood at the door in a daze.
My cousin came from the East and made rice dumplings to eat.
Regret!
Next to her, Banggan drooled with greed and tugged at her clothes: "Mom, I want to eat rice dumplings too."
Qin Huairu lowered his head and patted Banggan's head.
"Be good, wait until your grandma is released and ask her to go next door to borrow some glutinous rice, sugar, and zongzi leaves. Mom will also pack them for you."
Sticky stem: "...."
...
When cooking rice dumplings, we should pay attention to the saying that "a thousand boils is not as good as one boil".
After cooking, cover it for half an hour before the rice dumplings become soft and waxy.
When the pot is opened, the white mist dissipates, and a small rice dumpling lies quietly on the basket.
There are three Li Donglai and two Li Xiaomei.
One employee each is Yan Bugui, Ran Qiuye, and He Yuyu.
The rice dumplings were very small, and the sweet glutinous rice was eaten in just a few mouthfuls, even the leaves of the rice dumpling were licked clean.
Soon, the little zongzi was eaten.
At this time, the moxa leaf eggs were also cooked, and the two brothers and sisters had two of them each, and they were full.
Li Xiaomei rubbed her belly, moved a small stool, and sat at the door looking at the chirping sparrows on the big locust tree in the yard.
This day is so happy.
....
The next morning.
Li Donglai tied Li Xiaomei's arms, wrists, and waist with colorful silk threads.
After washing their faces with mugwort water and eating two simple bites of steamed buns, the two brothers and sisters went out.
Today there is a dragon boat race in Shichahai.
Yesterday I made an appointment with Ding Qiunan to go see it together.
Sister-in-law and daughter-in-law always meet.
Li Donglai is also planning to take Li Xiaomei with him.
When I pushed my bicycle out the door, I saw all the residents walking out with their families.
"Dr. Li, are you going to watch the dragon boat race?"
"Yes, let's go together."
"You go first, the bicycle goes faster."
When passing by Yan's house, Li Donglai took Yan Jiedi with him.
Wait for a while and let the two children play together and stop being light bulbs.
Although I was riding a bicycle at a very fast speed, by the time I reached Shichahai, the shore was already filled with onlookers.
Li Donglai's eyes were searching among the crowd.
A clear voice came from my ears: "Brother Donglai, this way!"
Looking back, Ding Qiunan stood pretty under the pavilion on the shore.
She was wearing a floral shirt, her hair spread over her shoulders, and black trousers that made her legs more slender.
This outfit was obviously chosen carefully and attracted the attention of many gay men.
Li Donglai didn't have time to say hello.
Li Xiaomei jumped off the bicycle and jumped in front of Ding Qiunan.
Staring with big watery eyes: "Sister-in-law!"
Ding Qiunan had just been worried about seeing her sister-in-law, but now that she saw Li Xiaomei's enthusiastic attitude, her worries were relieved a lot.
She knelt down and stroked Li Xiaomei's hair: "You must be Li Xiaomei, you look like the porcelain doll in the New Year paintings."
This action made Li Donglai a little worried. Growing up, this child hated others touching her head. Even Li Donglai could only touch her secretly when she was in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Li Xiaomei pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."
...
It's stable, it's stable now!
Before Li Donglai, he was worried that Li Xiaomei would not accept Ding Qiunan, but now he is finally relieved.
The two quickly became familiar with each other, chatting and laughing.
I completely forgot about Li Donglai.
However, Li Donglai was already prepared. He pulled Yan Jiedi who was standing aside in a daze and walked over.
"Little sister, you play with Yan Jiedi for a while. I have something to say with your sister-in-law."
Something to say....
Li Xiaomei immediately understood that her brother and sister-in-law were living in a world of two people.
She nodded obediently, took Yan Jiedi's hand, and went to see the dragon boat.
Li Donglai and Ding Qiunan strolled along the river bank.
The breeze blows, and the weeping willow branches and leaves flutter in the wind.
"Brother Donglai, when will you come to my house?" Ding Qiunan hesitated for a long time and finally said these words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"Next week." Li Donglai nodded.
Although the time is not ripe, I still need to meet my mother-in-law first and finalize the marriage.
The two of them just walked aimlessly.
Until the firecrackers blasted along the river bank and the drums shook the sky.
The dragon boat race has begun.
Thousands of oars on the water surface were launched together, with momentum like flying arrows.
On the shore, shouts, drums, and firecrackers gathered together.
