It was the 29th day of the New Year. Mu Xiu's house happily pasted Spring Festival couplets. Not only the door of the main hall, but also the doors of all the houses in the courtyard, there were passionate couplets and characters of Fu. The chicken coop was posted with five livestock prosperity, and the rice jar was posted with more than every year.

Mu Xiu went to Widow Chen's house again and sent a bunch of New Year goods. Qiu Caiyun originally insisted on not accepting it. It was not until he finally said that after the New Year's Qiu Caiyun went to work, he paid the salary and returned it to Mu Xiu. Qiu Caiyun then took it down.

On the 30th day, I was about to stay up to the New Year at night. Mu Xiu went to the kitchen with an apron and made fried meatballs, crispy meat, and lotus root clips into a button bowl. All kinds of delicious food were served from the kitchen like running water. The table of delicious dishes was so tempting. The red braised prawns and sweet pork ribs were red, and Mu Xiu didn't forget to take out a bottle of Maotai.

Mu Shuaiji would occasionally drink some wine. Now he took out his wine glass and filled it with everyone in the family. He raised his wine glass and said first: "Come on, let's have a drink." The whole family raised his wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one sip. Even Mu Xiu drank it with him.

"Good wine." Chen Jianqiang immediately knew that this was not ordinary white wine.

Even people like Chen Xuhui who often don’t drink alcohol can feel the difference. The white wine I have drunk before is spicy and unpalatable, but after drinking this wine, I feel that my throat is slightly spicy, and my stomach suddenly becomes hot. It’s the kind of persuasive warmth that makes people feel warm all over.

Although Chen Xuhui and Chen Jianqiang and his wife are not Mu Xiu's family members, they are as friendly as their family members after getting along day and night. Everyone sits together, both old and young, and those who don't know what they think they are a whole family.

Seeing everyone talking and laughing, full of yearning for the future, Mu Xiu's heart was also warm. Before he knew it, the regret of being an orphan in his previous life was filled with these families in front of him, and the people in front of him will be the deepest and deepest ties in his life.

Before they knew it, late at night, Li Pandi and Mu Xiaohua were already asleep. Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaoshu went back to their rooms to accompany their children. In the main room, Chen Jianqiang and Chen Xuhui, Mu Shui and Mu Xiu were still sitting there to stay up to the New Year. Several people talked and laughed. Finally, after twelve o'clock, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Mu Xiu lay on the hot kang, drank some wine, and fell asleep slightly. When she opened her eyes, it was dawn. This sleep was so deep that the new year began.

During the Chinese New Year, life is fast. From the first to the third year of the Chinese New Year, everyone does nothing, just eat, drink, play, and visits to greet New Year. However, every household in the village has children, and every family is not very prosperous, so everyone in the village has unwritten regulations, that is, they do not pay New Year's money to their children...

However, although there is no New Year's money, this family will give you a few peanuts and that family will give you a handful of melon seeds. Children are very happy to get these snacks.

The villagers who have good relationships on weekdays gather together during the Chinese New Year. Today they go to your house for dinner and tomorrow they come to my house for dinner. The children are even more crazy. The older children lead the children to the firecrackers they have set off, and they can also pull out a lot of unburned firecrackers from the broken paper of firecrackers and collect them. Then when they go to the side of the road, they lit one and threw it at the feet of passers-by.

Just hearing the "bang" sound of firecrackers can often scare passers-by. When these children see the frightened expressions of the other party, they will laugh out loud. Some people will curse and leave after a few words, while others will chase them and teach them a lesson. The children will scatter and find the next intersection to continue playing pranks.

Life in the countryside is so simple and happy. The Mu Xiu family is the favorite place for children to go to. Because there are many delicious foods, Mu Xiu asked Li Pandi to entertain her friends with various snacks. Invisibly, Li Pandi became the leader of these children. He ran out to play with his friends every day. The little girl who was bullied by the children when she returned to Yingwu Village with Mu Xiaoshu, was reborn and became a sunny, cheerful and confident elder sister.

It was not until after the seventh day of the lunar month that there were large markets in the countryside, and shops in the county towns were opened one after another. People were all happy and energetic, and there were endless people shopping.

Mu Xiu calculated the day and it was about to reach the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. He could pack some dumplings to sell, pack more, and deliver them to the county town, so that the store would also be placed...

Mu Xiu had strong execution ability and would take action immediately wherever she thought. She told Mu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shuilian about her thoughts. The three of them hit it off and divided their responsibilities to start making preliminary preparations for dumplings.

Mu Xiu first washed away the impurities, bran slices and other suspended substances in the glutinous rice, then soaked them in clean water, put them in the house with a burning kang, and then grind them after four hours.

The three of them soaked more than 40 kilograms of glutinous rice and put all the big buckets of big basins. Zhou Shuilian fryed sesame seeds and peanuts in the kitchen. Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaoshu stood beside them, grinding the fried sesame seeds and peanuts.

Last time, Mu Xiu saw a small stone mill in the county town, which was about fifteen centimeters in diameter. She saw that the stone mill was small and thought that she could grind some rice noodles for Xiaohua to drink in the future. So she bought it and made it once. Zhou Shuilian thought it was troublesome. Mu Xiu saw Mu Xiaohua drinking thick rice porridge fragrantly, so she gave up her plan to make rice noodles.

At this moment, this small stone mill was just in handy. Put the fried sesame seeds in and quickly grind the sesame powder. After grinding all the sesame seeds into powder and stuffing, Mu Xiu added sugar with lard, stirred evenly, melted, and poured the sesame seeds in. After stirring, the sesame filling was ready.

In the same way, grind the fried peanuts into peanut powder, add lard and sugar, evenly dissolve, stir, and the peanut filling is ready. The osmanthus filling can be used with the osmanthus sauce made by Mu Xiu. After all the dumplings are ready, Mu Xiu went to look at the glutinous rice and grabbed a handful. The particles soaked in the glutinous rice are loose, and the glutinous rice is soft and can be put into the stone mill.

Grind the glutinous rice into slurry with a stone mill, hang a cloth bag on the grinding mouth, and use a cloth bag to connect the slippery rice paste while grinding it. Grind a cloth bag and then take it to the outside corridor to hang it and drain it.

All three of them were women. After working on this for several hours, they were tired. Mushui and Chen Xuhui started grinding, and it was not until the evening that they finished grinding all the glutinous rice.
