Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

I would be happy to just shut up the system with one sentence.

Lin Jiu quietly blended Bai Bao Dan into the water, added some brown sugar to cover up the color, and then handed the water with Bai Bao Dan to Yang Aiping.

"Drink more water if you catch a cold."

Yang Aiping happened to feel thirsty, so she took the water jug ​​and drank directly. Although she felt the taste was a bit wrong, Yang Aiping just thought it was something wrong with her mouth after she caught a cold.

"Mom, I don't understand why Ling Meizai pushed me into the water."

Yang Aiping sat on the chair, her eyes a little confused.

"Jealousy changes people beyond recognition. She is jealous that you beat a child and someone hurts you. She is jealous that you are more popular with the villagers than she is..."

"Does it mean you are jealous of someone and want to harm them? What is the logic of this?"

"That's because she has incorrect views. Aiping, you have to remember that life is lived by oneself, not by comparison. Instead of comparing this and that all day long, it is better to compare yourself."

"Mom, I understand, just like I am better now than before." Yang Aiping said narcissistically.

Lin Jiu: You are right to understand it this way.

The next day, Yang Aiping was alive and kicking.

Yang Ling was also sent to the Hongxing Labor Camp for labor reform.

Yang Dahu's family probably felt that they had no face to face Lin Jiu and the others, so they would lower their heads and stay away from wherever they were. If they couldn't avoid it, they would hide in corners and try to minimize their presence.

The culprit has been punished, and Lin Jiu did not hold on to Yang Dahu and his family. The people in the brigade were busy harvesting wheat, transplanting rice seedlings, and planting sweet potatoes, and they didn't have much time to gossip.

The storm that pushed people into the water gradually subsided.

The double-gun work ended at the end of May. After handing over part of the public grain, the brigade distributed the recovered wheat to each family according to work points.

From September until the rice harvest, people in the village basically eat pasta.

"Second brother, you went to several communes to buy some glutinous rice in the past two days. The glutinous rice at home is not enough."

The Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away. According to custom, Lin Jiu has to pick up his eldest fiancée to celebrate the festival two days before the Dragon Boat Festival. In addition, they also have the custom of married daughters picking up their parents for the festival, so Lin Jiu has to make rice dumplings in advance.

"Mom, how much do you think we need to buy?"

"Buy thirty or forty kilograms! I still have some at home. By the way, call your uncle and aunt for coming over to celebrate the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Also call from your mother's house. Where is the third child? You can call me when you go to the district."

Yang Jianjun visited several communes, and even secretly went to the black market, and finally bought fifty kilograms of glutinous rice. The reason why he bought so much was that he discovered that his mother had been particularly fond of eating food made from glutinous rice since she came back from the hospital last time. There was not much glutinous rice left at home because Lin Jiu had recommended glutinous rice flour to eat some time ago.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, early in the morning, Lin Jiu and the others took out the glutinous rice soaked last night from the water, washed the red beans, mung beans, peanuts and other beans, and then mixed them with the glutinous rice.

Wash all the rice dumplings, put them in a pot of boiling water and boil them for ten minutes, then put them in cold water and wash them again.

Cut some older leaves from the palm tree, boil them in the pot for ten minutes, then take them out to cool, and then tear the palm leaves into thin strips, which are used to tie the rice dumplings. Of course, in addition to palm leaves, straw, and jute skins, these can be used to tie rice dumplings.

When the preparations were ready, the whole family gathered around a big dustpan and started making rice dumplings.

Knowing that Lin Jiu's family would be picking up guests tomorrow, Huang Yaomei and Yang Yinyuan came over to help pack the bags without Lin Jiu calling them.

In the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, making zongzi has never been just a woman’s job.

"Mom, look at how big the rice dumplings made by my second brother are, and how small and cute yours are."

Yang Aiping took two rice dumplings and compared them.

"This is a package for the children to eat."

People in the 1970s were accustomed to making large rice dumplings, with each rice dumpling weighing at least half a catty. People with big appetites would usually be full after eating two. However, everyone will also wrap some small rice dumplings as return gifts, so that they look better when taken out.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiu asked Yang Aiping to pick up Zhang Ying for the festival. Logically speaking, Yang Jianguo should be the one to pick it up, but unfortunately he was not there, so Yang Aiping, the unmarried sister, could only do it for her.

After Zhang Ying arrived, she naturally went to the kitchen to help cook together.

In the afternoon, the guests all left one after another, and Lin Jiu gave them the prepared rice dumplings and fried pork fat coins as a return gift.

Lin Jiu originally wanted to keep Zhang Ying at home for a few days, but she was worried about her family and refused to stay. Seeing this, Lin Jiu had to give up. However, when giving her a gift in return, she had to pretend to be rich. This was also done for her. face.

Half a year later

"That's too much bullying. I'm sorry for you." Huang Yaomei and Yang Yinyuan walked into the courtyard with a bit of anger. When they saw Lin Jiu again, their faces were full of apologies.

"Yaomei, what's going on? Who made you angry?" Lin Jiu looked at the couple in surprise. You must know that Huang Yaomei is usually very kind and always smiles when she sees them.

"Sister-in-law, please call off the marriage with the Wu family! I'm sorry for my eldest nephew. I'll find a good one for her in the future." Huang Yaomei said solemnly, "No matter how good that girl is, it doesn't matter if she has so many rogue relatives. Very good, only one point left.”

"What's going on? Jianguo's marriage report has been approved. Now we need to cancel the engagement. What does this make the army leaders think?"

"Sister-in-law, I know now that her uncles are scoundrels. Do you know what conditions they put forward when I went to discuss marriage with them this morning? They actually asked us to exchange marriages." Huang Yaomei suddenly raised her voice, "Don't even look at it. Look at their character, they are all sneaky and sneaky, and they even want to eat swan meat."

"Changing marriages? I think they want to eat shit." Lin Jiu was also angry, "Where is Zhang Ying? What did she say?"

"That girl Zhang Ying didn't agree. She said it was a marriage exchange, so she would die. Those scoundrels said it was okay not to exchange marriages, and they asked us to pay another thousand yuan as a gift."

Lin Jiu knew that the woman's uncles probably didn't want Zhang Ying to marry into the Yang family. Why? Could it be that they were afraid that Zhang Ying would lose control after marrying into the Yang family.

"I remember the Zhang family had been separated a long time ago! What did her mother say?" The attitude of the Zhang family's mother and daughter is the key.

"Zhang Ying and her mother didn't agree, but her brother listened to her uncles' instigation and insisted on a gift of one thousand yuan. Otherwise, he would sever the mother-child relationship with her mother and deny her as a sister. Now. Now Zhang Ying’s mother is still hesitating.”

"Yao Mei, tell me something for Zhang Ying. The Yang family will not give her any more as a bride price. As long as she is determined to marry Jianguo and live with Jianguo wholeheartedly from now on, then the Yang family will be her natal family."
