Chapter 60: Relief food is coming
"Sister, you are so awesome!" Bai Ruxia helped hold a lot of clothes, her eyes sparkling.
"Don't pay attention to this kind of clown if you see it in the future! She's just your elder brother-in-law's little fangirl!" Bai Ruxue said, "I'll buy you a headband!
In the end, the sisters spent more than 100 yuan to finish it.
The second aunt and Aunt Sun Hong didn't know what they were buying. There were so many people here, so they didn't pay attention. They bought a red headband and went out.
When they saw that everyone had already arrived, they were waiting for them. The two of them quickly walked a few steps and got on the bullock cart, and then returned to the village.
It took less than an hour before and after.
It was only after one o'clock when I got home.
"Xiaoxue, why did you come back with so many autumn clothes and autumn trousers?" Wang Cuihua looked at the things her two girls had brought in. The other things were for home use. But they had not yet worn the autumn clothes and trousers.
If it’s broken, you don’t have to buy it.
"On sale at the supply and marketing cooperative, we bought one set for each of us! Wear them differently!" Bai Ruxue said simply, taking it as an explanation.
"This enamel jar..." Wang Cuihua pointed to so many enamel jars and didn't know what to ask.
"One for each person! It's convenient to use! When the time comes, my younger brothers and sisters will also need it when they go to school!" Bai Ruxue explained again, "Okay, Mom, we still need to make dumplings! Just don't ask!"
"Sister, are you making dumplings? Shall we eat dumplings tonight?" Bai Ruxia's face turned red from the cold, but when she heard the dumplings, they popped down again.
"Yes! Make more dumplings and freeze them. It will be convenient to eat in the first month!" Bai Xue, a later generation, had this habit. Dumplings are indispensable almost every day during the first month.
"Okay, it's time to make dumplings!" Bai Ruxia was so excited.
"I also make dumplings, and the clothes are all finished. Sister, there is still so much cloth left!" Bai Ruyun handed more than two feet of cloth to Bai Ruxue.
"Put it away for mom. When Xiaofeng and Xiaocai grow up, I can make clothes for them!" Bai Ruxue said.
"Okay!" Bai Ruyun handed the cloth to Wang Cuihua.
The three sisters left the house and prepared to make dumplings.
Bai Ruxue took out all the pork fillings in the supermarket yesterday, which is a little more than twelve kilograms of fillings, and took out ten kilograms of white noodles. The meat fillings were not frozen, but were chilled in a cool place.
, just in time for stuffing.
Wash all the three heads of cabbage lying on the ground and chop them into fillings.
The three sisters packed it for more than two hours, and it was almost dark before they finished it.
While wrapping, I took the wrapped dumplings and froze them on the outside, then put them into cloth bags and put them into the earthenware jar with the meat outside. After wrapping more than 300 dumplings, the dumplings were about to be cooked. Bai Daliang and his two sons
I just came back, and there is Zhang Yuan behind me.
Dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork are served on the table, making it another filling dinner.
There was an enamel cup in front of everyone, and a few of them drank an extra glass of rare water.
I have never eaten dumplings with so much meat. Except for Wang Cuihua who ate it once, everyone else swallowed it with their tongues.
The same goes for Zhang Yuan. Although he was indispensable for delicious food when he was in Kyoto, the white stuffing was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating it.
It was six o'clock. When everyone had eaten, lit candles and was about to go about their business, the noise of the villagers could be heard outside.
"What's going on outside? It seems like a lot of people are running?" Bai Daliang lay on the window to look, but the frosted glass couldn't see the outside scenery at all.
"I'm going to take a look!" Bai Ruchuan, who was the most agile, quickly got down to the ground, put on his shoes and ran out.
Not long after, he ran back, panting and saying, "The brigade...the brigade headquarters is here...a few tractors came, saying...that relief food has arrived!" He ran out of breath.
"That's great, the relief food came out last year!" Bai Daliang said happily, slapping his thigh.
But this slap didn't matter, it frightened the two babies so much that they cried.
"Be gentle! You're scaring the child!" Wang Cuihua was also happy, but she picked up the child to coax her. Bai Ruyun also picked up the other one to help coax him.
"Oh, Dad is so happy, don't cry anymore!" Bai Daliang was so happy that he touched the head of Xiao Cai next to him and coaxed him incoherently.
"Dad, she doesn't understand!" Bai Ruyun reminded.
"Dad, why are you so happy? Our family is not short of food now!" Compared to the happy couple, Bai Ruxue was very calm.
She knew that even if the relief food came down, it would definitely be coarse food and there would be nothing good about it.
"This kid, food is your life! Our family is not short of food, but many families in the village are living in poverty now. Isn't it a good thing to have a full meal during the New Year?" Bai Daliang disagreed this time.
Bai Ruxue scolded her.
"Okay! Xiaochuan, do you know when the relief food will be distributed?" Bai Ruxue looked at her younger brother who had recovered his breath and asked.
"I didn't ask, but those people were holding sacks. I guess they'll be separated soon. Otherwise, why are they in such a hurry?" Bai Ruchuan told the elder sister what he saw.
"That's right, adults and children are all hungry. When there is food, they will definitely want to get it as soon as possible." Wang Cuihua said.
"Then shall we go now?" Bai Ruxia asked Bai Daliang.
Bai Ruxue looked uninterested in knitting a scarf.
"I'll go take a look!" Bai Daliang said and was about to go to the ground.
"I'll go too!"
"I'll go too"
The two brothers said in unison.
"Take the sacks. If you distribute the food at night, you don't have to go back and forth again!" Wang Cuihua reminded from behind.
The father and son each took a sack and hurried out the door.
Bai Ruxue was knitting a scarf by candlelight. It was already the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was coming soon. She had to finish knitting it quickly so that it could be given to Zhang Yuan as a New Year's gift.
As a result, the weaving lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening, and Bai Ruyun had already sewn out all the cloth bags.
"Sister, aren't you going to sleep?" Bai Ruyun yawned and went up to the kang, then got into the bed of Bai Ruxia who was sleeping soundly and asked her eldest sister.
"I'll finish knitting right away, and I'll go to bed soon! I'll wait for dad and the others to come back by the way!" Bai Ruxue said, because Bai Daliang and his son haven't come back yet.
"My eldest sister is better at knitting than me, and this scarf is so pretty!" Bai Ruyun half stood up and touched the scarf Bai Ruxue was knitting.
"It looks good! I think Zhang Yuandai must be more handsome!" Bai Ruxue said with a look of infatuation on her face.
"I knew this must be for my eldest brother-in-law!" Bai Ruyun looked at Bai Ruxue teasingly and said softly.
"I'll knit one for each of you when I'm free! Go to sleep!" Bai Ruxue smiled as she looked at this gentle and introverted sister who was meticulous in everything she did.
"Great, sister, I want the red one!" Bai Ruyun said.
"You are introverted and gentle, so you are more suitable to wear light pink! Red is too flamboyant, so Xiaoxia should be more suitable!" Bai Ruxue analyzed.
"But where can I find light pink wool?" Bai Ruyun has never even been to Pingyang Town, and has never seen anyone in the village wearing it, so she doesn't know.
"Don't worry! Sister will come back and knit it for you when the time comes! It will definitely look good!"
"Okay, thank you, eldest sister. I'll go to bed then! You should go to bed early too!" Bai Ruyun yawned and lay down.
