Chang's arrival made Lin Zhu feel a lot more relaxed. He asked the village chief Lin Changqing to help deal with the matter of Chang's signing of the work contract, and he was rejected by the government. This also made Lin Zhu feel relieved. Although he was not afraid of Chang's
There will be bad intentions, but it is necessary to be on guard against others, not to mention Lin Zhu's situation.
Because the Chinese New Year was coming in a few days, Lin Zhu took the opportunity to go to the county to buy some items for the Chang family, as well as some snacks and the like. He wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year and go around to pay New Year greetings with the children in the village.
Also let them go to their homes to get some food and share it with everyone.
The Chinese New Year is about to come, and there is not much work to do at Lin Zhu's house. Chang mainly helps her look after the Fu Dou'er buns, cooks, does laundry, etc. Of course, Lin Zhu cannot let her do it alone, usually
It's a division of labor between two people.
Mrs. Chang was also surprised when she saw the food prepared by Lin Zhu. She didn't expect that a nine-year-old child could prepare so much for the New Year. But when she heard from Aunt Li about Lin Zhu's life experience, and
The origins of Fu Dou'er couldn't help but feel sorry for them. They were all children who had no mother to take care of them since they were young, so they were so precocious and capable. Mrs. Chang thought of her unknown son again, and her loving mother's heart suddenly overflowed, and she took care of him.
She became more dedicated, and Lin Zhu and Xiao Baozi were treated as sons and daughters by her and she truly loved them.
As a result, Lin Zhu no longer had to do many things, and even cooking was forbidden, leaving her free to do needlework. It happened that Chang had good embroidery skills in the past, and she had been doing it for a long time in a wealthy family, so those
She was very good at teaching the young ladies, so she began to teach Lin Zhu little by little.
This was very painful for Lin Zhu. From sitting, standing, walking, to dressing up, all the etiquette that a lady from an official family should know were explained to her one by one. Although it did not make her become like those ladies from the public right away, but
He taught her everything she should know, and even gave her some pointers from time to time. This made Lin Zhu miserable. When she wanted to refute, she was defeated by Chang's eyes, which were dedicated to her good.
And even the title was changed to Mama Chang.
It's just that all etiquette must be done at home. When leaving home, as long as it's not too out of the ordinary, Lin Zhu can do it the same as before. For example, when playing with friends who are familiar with him in the village, he doesn't have to pay attention to those things and don't look back.
Not showing teeth and other regulations.
Because Lin Zhu has the soul of a modern person, some of the so-called rules for ladies taught by Chang's mother, such as the three obediences and four virtues, are nonsense to her, but she still takes note of them seriously. Anyway, since she wants to integrate into this
In this era, it is essential to learn the rules of this era, at least on the surface, it must be so that no one can make mistakes.
Mother Chang's embroidery skills were very good. When she was young, she recognized an embroiderer in the house's sewing room as her godmother and provided her with a care for her until she died. Therefore, she also learned a good embroidery skill and taught Lin Zhu, an imbecile at needlework.
Later, Ruyu found out when she was playing with Lin Zhu. When she got home, Aunt Li immediately brought Ruyu and Youqing to learn from her.
Because Chang's mother signed a work contract, Lin Zhu could not force her to accept the Lin sisters. Unexpectedly, Chang's mother readily agreed. Several acquaintances in the village often came to ask for advice. For a time, the villagers' evaluation of Lin Zhu
Even better. But that’s a story for another day.
In the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve, and because of the addition of Fu Dou'er, Little Baozi and Chang's mother, Lin Zhu's first New Year in this era has become warm and he is no longer alone.
Although Mama Chang's embroidery skills are very good, her skills in cooking are really lackluster. After eating a few meals she cooked, Lin Zhu insisted on taking the right to cook firmly in her own hands. Mama Chang's
She felt that it was against the rules to ask Lin Zhu to cook for her, and she felt bad about it. But after eating Lin Zhu's cooking, she also knew that her cooking skills were much inferior to Lin Zhu's, and Lin Zhu couldn't eat it either.
She's used to it.
So Lin Zhu, for the sake of her own belly, strongly requested that she cook the meals. Chang's mother helped with the washing, chopping and so on. In this way, both parties cooperated happily, which allowed Lin Zhu to continue doing what he liked.
Showing off one's skills makes Chang's mother not feel like she is just waiting for food, but has something to do.
So the meal for the New Year's Eve was cooked by Lin Zhu and with the help of Chang's mother. With the joint efforts of the two, the sumptuous meal was served on the table. Among them, Lin Zhu put the spinach in the space in front of Chang's mother.
When I went to the place and took it out, Chang’s mother didn’t expect spinach to be so well-preserved in the winter. She was very surprised. Lin Zhu only pretended that it was stored in a special way. Chang’s mother also pressed the button with a wink.
Study further.
Cold shredded chicken, a platter of pig heart and liver, and cold pig ears, these were all gifts given by Aunt Li and Aunt Guo. They had already been stewed for later use, so they were ready quickly without any effort. Stir-fried spinach
Eggs, boiled cabbage, braised roe deer meat, braised fish, braised pork ribs, and the last egg drop soup, it's all ready.
The two of them sat at the table, looking at the food on the table. Chang's mother's eyes were moist, and she said in a choked voice, "Xiaozhu, thank you. If you hadn't taken me in, let alone sitting in front of such a table, I might not even be able to drool."
I can't even drink it. I will never forget your great kindness in my life." After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu quickly got off the stool and wanted to stop her from kneeling, but she couldn't help Chang's mother.
He was very strong, and he had to kowtow three times before he got up.
"Mother Chang, you don't have to be so polite. Fu Dou'er and I are both young. We are lucky to have you taking care of us." Lin Zhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said sincerely. "It's the Chinese New Year again.
Everything is in the past. It will be better in the future. Maybe you will be able to find your son and husband next year. Well, don't be sad, otherwise the good fortune will make you cry away." Lin Zhu was amused by Lin Zhu's last words.
Mother Chang wiped away her tears and said angrily, "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled, how can luck escape so easily?"
Chang's mother's mood had recovered, and the two happily enjoyed the delicious meal. Of course, the black beans were also indispensable. Lin Zhu put a lot of ribs, roe deer meat and chicken in its food bowl, and the black beans were eaten.
It was so refreshing, and its little tail was wagging even more happily. The whole dog's face was buried in the basin, and it didn't even give Lin Zhu a look. It really made her say that it had no conscience. With food, it couldn't even
Her master didn't even look at it.
"What's wrong with you and Heidou'er? He doesn't even eat the food I give him except what you feed him!" Chang's mother pulled Lin Zhu back to the table and asked her to sit down and eat. "Heidou'er, you will grow up in the future."
It will definitely be a good dog when it grows up." "Of course, it doesn't matter who raises it." Lin Zhu said a little arrogantly, "I also picked up Black Bean from the gate at night. He was quite small at that time.
, it’s hard to walk.” Thinking back to Heidou’er’s appearance a few months ago, and looking at his current size, no one would have guessed that he was a puppy that was only about half a year old. Now he is already
It is almost as big as an adult native dog in the village.
"Haha, think about it carefully, you picked us up." Chang's mother said with a smile, "It's lucky that you picked us up, otherwise..." Speaking of this, Chang's mother's voice was choked again, and she couldn't continue.
Okay. Lin Zhu had to coax her once more before she turned from crying to laughing.
The two of them finished the meal happily, during which they also had a regular meal of Fudouer's little buns and a bowl of goat's milk. He was still too young to add complementary food.
The three of them ate, drank, talked, laughed, and teased Fu Douer's little buns, until they finally cooked some dumplings, and the New Year's Eve dinner was finally finished.
After putting Fu Douer to sleep, the two of them followed the custom of this era to stay up late on New Year's Eve.
The room was very warm, and the fire was very hot. After a while, Lin Zhu began to doze off, her head moving bit by bit. Seeing her like this, Chang's mother also knew that staying up late was not good for her, so she put her down.
She gently lay down next to Fu Dou'er and covered her with a quilt. She stayed up all alone while praying to God to bless her husband and son, and pray that the family could be reunited again. She also prayed for Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er.
Good people are rewarded with good things, good fortune, good health, and a long life.
