Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The next morning.

Zhang Xiuping was fully armed, wrapped herself up tightly, and returned to the two-story building on the street.

Then Deng Shirong started killing chickens to make ginger wine. He bought the chickens in advance when he was in his hometown. Every now and then, he would buy a chicken and throw it into the space. Now he has more than 20 chickens stored in the system space, all of them. A handsome chicken born and raised in the countryside.

Of course, in order to cover it up, Deng Shirong still went out and said that he bought it in a nearby rural area.

The method of making ginger wine is very simple. First, heat the oil in a pan, add the chopped chicken pieces and stir-fry until the chicken changes color. Then add enough ginger and continue to stir-fry. After the fragrance is released, add in the chicken pieces. of rice wine, then cook it for about half an hour and it’s ready to go.

The ginger wine made in this way was the favorite of many rural women in Bobai in later generations. Not only did they eat it during confinement, but even if they were greedy, they would cook a pot of ginger wine to drink.

As for the neighbor women, if you call them to eat or something, they will definitely refuse, but if you make ginger wine and ask her to eat, then nine times out of ten they will not refuse.

This shows how high the status of ginger wine is in the hearts of Bobai women.

In this era, because the life of rural people is generally difficult, it is considered good if a mother can drink ginger wine once or twice during her confinement period. But in later generations, every Bobai woman drank ginger wine for a month continuously during her confinement period, basically without interruption.

Deng Shirong couldn't tell you the specific benefits of drinking ginger wine during confinement. Anyway, his ancestors had been drinking it this way for generations, so there must be a reason for it. He just needed to cook the ginger wine and give it to his daughter-in-law.

There are also some mothers who cannot drink such strong wine, so when adding rice wine, they will add some water and cook it together, so that the wine taste will be lighter.

After cooking the ginger wine and frying a few vegetables, the family started to eat.

Deng Shirong filled a large bowl of ginger wine for his eldest daughter-in-law, then picked up another large bowl and said, "Mom, there is a lot of ginger wine in this pot. Sister A Ping will definitely not be able to finish it. I will serve you a bowl." Taste it.”

Zhang's mother quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, it's a waste to give this ginger wine to me. Keep it for Xiuping. If you can't finish it today, keep it for tomorrow."

Deng Shirong quickly filled a bowl and placed it in front of his mother-in-law. He said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, don't be polite. It's all food that goes into your stomach. There's nothing to waste. As for the ginger that A Pingmei ate. Wine, I have to cook it fresh for her every day, so there is no need to save it for tomorrow.”

Seeing that the ginger wine had been brought to her, Mother Zhang stopped being pretentious. She looked at her daughter and said with emotion: "Xiuping, you are really lucky. I thought that when I gave birth to you brothers and sisters, I could do it during confinement." Having one or two chickens boiled with ginger wine is already very good. Now you not only have something to eat every day, but you also eat fresh ones every day. If the older girls and younger wives in the village find out, I don’t know how envious they will be! "

Zhang Xiuping smiled, and even a blind person could see the happiness in her eyes.

Deng Shirong said: "Times have changed. Our era was much more difficult than it is now. My wife didn't have much to eat when she gave birth to Yuntai and the others. For a woman, giving birth is the biggest loss. It is vitality, so during this critical month of confinement, you must eat well to make up for the lost vitality.

There was no such condition before, but now the family has no shortage of money for food and drink. It is the most basic thing for A Pingmei to have fresh ginger wine every day during her confinement period. "

These words made the Zhang family's mother and daughter very happy.

After dinner, when the family was chatting, they mentioned the matter of naming the child.

Deng Yuntai hugged his daughter and teased her while saying, "Dad, how about you come and name this little guy?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "This is your first child, you and your wife should name her!"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and answered: "Dad, this is also your first granddaughter. It is appropriate for you to choose the name."

Zhang's mother also echoed: "Yes, in-laws, your children's names are so good, how about you help me choose a name for my granddaughter?"

Deng Shirong muttered: "Then I will give you a nickname. The child was born at the beginning of winter, so his nickname will be Dong'er. What do you think?"

Rural people in this era, in order for their children to grow up healthily, often give their boys nicknames with the names of animals, and the most common one is with the word dog, such as two dogs, three dogs, four dogs, dog two dogs Three dogs, four and so on.

The nicknames of girls are basically the same as XX sister, and XX is the ranking. For example, the nickname of Deng Yuntai's daughter should be the eldest sister. In the future, the daughters born to Deng Yuntai or other brothers will be called the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, etc.

It is very rare to have a nickname of Dong'er in rural areas.

Zhang Xiuping was the first to agree: "Dong'er, this is a good nickname."

Deng Yuntai also said with a smile: "Well, this nickname is really nice. My daughter, you will be called Dong'er from now on!"

Deng Yunzhen said in a sour tone: "Xiao Dong'er, your grandfather is really partial. I don't even have a nickname for your eldest aunt. When I was young, others called me eldest sister."

Deng Shirong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Looking at what you said, there are not many people in the village who are qualified to call you eldest sister. When you were still breastfeeding, 70% of the people in the village called you Azhengu. Another 20% of people have to call you grandma."

Deng Yunzhen sighed: "Sister-in-law, look at how miserable I am. I'm not even married yet, and I've been my aunt for more than ten years!"

Deng Shirong said calmly: "What aunt? Everyone who calls you great-grand aunt is getting married!"

Deng Yunzhen: "..."

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and said: "Azhen, what's so tragic about this? Isn't it good to be senior!"

Deng Yunzhen said quietly: "Why, they call me old, just like our little Dong'er, when she returns to the village, she immediately transforms into an aunt."

Zhang Xiuping heard this and lived in Bengbu. This seniority is indeed a bit ridiculous!

After joking, everyone returned to the topic and started to name Xiao Donger.

This time, Deng Shirong stopped interfering and just let Deng Yuntai and his wife think about it themselves.

As for Zhang's mother, who is the grandmother, she will naturally not interfere with her granddaughter's naming rights. The same goes for Deng Yunzhen, who is the aunt.

Then, Deng Yuntai and his wife racked their brains and came up with several names for Deng Shirong to choose from.

After some comparisons, Deng Shirong finally chose the name Deng Changju. The chrysanthemum has tenacious vitality and represents an unyielding spirit, which is quite good.
