Pamper Eighties

In the past few days, Mrs. Feng looked at Huzi when she was free, and deliberately muttered in a place where she could hear: “It’s almost the New Year’s Day, there is still meat in the house, but it’s all dried meat, and I don’t know it’s New Year’s Eve. Can we eat fresh meat, even if there is no goat, a wild rabbit or pheasant would be fine.”

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Huzi lying on the ground ignoringly, walked over and grabbed his ears and said, “Huzi, do you think we have this blessing?”

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and Mrs. Feng is looking forward to the return of Huzi from hunting some fresh meat. The family is used to eating fresh meat, and eating dried meat is a little tasteless, but after a few days, Huzi is There was no movement, while Madam Feng was disappointed, she also wondered if she was too greedy.

Old man Feng squatted in the yard and made lanterns. Once he had tied one, he put it aside. Seven lanterns were made to finish. These were prepared for the seven children in the family. He heard his old wife was still nagging at Huzi. He turned around and said: “Come on you, Grandpa Mountain God also went back to Heaven to rest after the Chinese New Year, why would he still give you meat to eat? Let’s not embarrass Huzi, be careful that Grandpa Mountain God is to blame, and he won’t give it to us in the future. Meat is delivered.”

Madam Feng looked down at the languid Huzi, and immediately believed it a little bit, she quickly folded her hands together to tell the Buddha, and said, “Send the Kitchen Lord to heaven a few days ago, I’m afraid it’s not the mountain god, the old man will also come with him. Go to heaven? You are right, old man, we can’t be too greedy, I was thinking that if there is fresh meat, I can make minced meat for Mengmeng or something.”

Mengmeng has grown four teeth recently, and the little teeth are as tender as the spring bamboo shoots that have just emerged from the ground. Not only can she not eat too hard things, but when she eats it, her saliva is always drooling, which makes Mrs. Feng look at her. Gotta be in a hurry.

Huzi used to go hunting for meat in the mountains every now and then. Madam Feng chopped the fresh meat finely and boiled it into porridge, minced meat, etc. for Mengmeng to eat. Faster than dolls of the same age in the village. Now that she has teeth, she hasn’t eaten well for several days in a row, and Huzi is no longer going to hunt in the mountains. Isn’t Mrs. Feng in a hurry?

She stood in the yard and sighed, and then bent down to touch the eggs in the chicken coop. Fortunately, Mengmeng has always liked to eat these eggs, and it’s good to eat eggs if you can’t eat meat.

Madam Feng had given up hope, but she didn’t expect the day before the new year. Hu Zi suddenly went to the mountains and brought back a small deer. It was still alive. The deer looked only six or seven months old. It should have been born last fall. , that meat is sure to be tender and tasty.

The little deer was dying, and the tiger didn’t care if it was thrown away. Madam Feng hurriedly called her family to come out to kill the deer and let the deer bleed, cut the venison into pieces, put them in a bamboo basket and hang them on the well with a rope. Store for a few days.

With fresh meat, Mrs. Feng is much easier to handle, so she cooked a bowl of minced meat for Mengmeng that day, chopped the tenderest piece into fine pieces, added an egg and stirred it evenly, then put a little salt to separate it. Steamed with water, the fragrance can waft out far away, Mengmeng fell in love with it as soon as she ate it, the chubby face smiled like a dumpling, and her saliva stopped flowing. A bowl of porridge.

Madam Feng touched her bulging belly, and said to Hu Zi with satisfaction: “Hu Zi knows that you want to feel sorry for Mengmeng, I just told you that Mengmeng has no meat to eat, so you went to get the meat and come back, It’s not in vain that Mengmeng picked you up.”

Huzi squatted on the ground and gnawed at the flesh and bones without raising his head. If he could talk, he would definitely tell Mrs. Feng, it wasn’t because he didn’t want to go to the mountains, but because Mengmeng had teeth and lacked energy in the past few days, he was worried. I didn’t go to the mountains.

Just after noon the next day, Madam Feng took advantage of the sun to take advantage of the sun to bathe Mengmeng and put on her new clothes with big red flowers, which made her little face extra white and tender, like that enamel doll. of.

Mrs. Feng put her on the cot and let her play, and she started busy with the old folks, washing and steaming the rice, cooking it into a big pot of crystal white rice, cutting a piece of venison and slicing it finely. Throw it in a frying pan and fry it for a while, then take it out. Then I oiled the fish I caught from the sea this morning. I added some onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, etc. to braise it. I took off a piece of fat and thin and air-dried. Cut the meat into thin slices, stir-fry it with the sour beans, and finally boil the shells that Dawa Erwa touched from the seaside into a pot of soup, and this fragrant New Year’s Eve meal is ready.

Throughout the afternoon, the old Feng’s kitchen wafted out the fragrance after another, causing the two children to drool. A green light is about to emerge.

Mrs. Feng came out of the kitchen, and the two children hurried up and asked, “Ma, when are we going to have dinner?”

“When your sister’s porridge is ready, we’ll have dinner. You guys go to the ancestral hall to see if your father and your father are coming back?” Madam Feng sent them away casually, and her old man and eldest son went to the ancestral hall. It’s almost time to come back for ancestor worship. Madam Feng turned around and walked into the kitchen again. Mengmeng’s pot of porridge was still cooking on the stove.

This porridge is added with venison, fish and shell meat. It is all chopped and put into a casserole and slowly boiled over a small fire. After cooking, it becomes a pot of thick miscellaneous porridge with a layer of moist rice floating on it. Oil, this is the New Year’s Eve dinner specially prepared for Mengmeng.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Feng family also came back. Madam Feng set up a table in the main room and put all the food on it, and the family sat around to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The big baby and the second baby devoured the food, the big baby stuffed something in his mouth and said, “It’s so delicious, milk, when will we be able to eat such a sumptuous meal. meal?”

Madam Feng smiled like a wolf with a big tail, touched his little head and said, “You will go to school in a few days. You can study hard for me, and you can eat this meal when you have a good future.”

Da Wa didn’t understand what this meant to him, but when he heard that he could still eat this meal, he smiled and nodded his head like pounding garlic, and even Er Wa said, “Milk, I I have to go to school, and I have to eat.”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon.” These two little boys are making trouble at home every day, and now they finally have a chance to send one away. Mrs. Feng plans to wait for the older one to go to school, so she will let him go back home to teach a lesson. Teaching Erwa, she can spare a lot of time to concentrate on serving Mengmeng.

In her opinion, the grandchildren can be beaten no matter how hard they are, and they can’t be too spoiled, but the little granddaughter is different. The Feng family only gave birth to such a one hundred years ago, and she has a special fate and is very close to her. A table full of food is only available after Mengmeng, how can I say that she is a lucky girl?

Thinking like this, Madam Feng took out a small red cloth pocket from her bosom, stuffed it into Mengmeng’s hand and said, “Here, this is the New Year’s money that grandma gave us to Mengmeng. We will be one year old after the new year. Bless us Mengmeng grow up safely.”

Mengmeng sat on the small sedan chair just after her stomach was full, when suddenly there was a small red cloth pocket in her hand. She looked down and saw that Hong Yanyan was square. Her little hand was very dexterous. The blue-gray banknotes were all ten yuan and ten yuan in new money.

Su Wan saw the stack of money, and was moved but couldn’t help but shirk: “Mom, Mengmeng is still too young, how can I take so much money from you?”

“What’s wrong? We Mengmeng have been smart since we were young, and we must know the benefits of money. Grandma told you, this money can buy delicious and easy-to-use food, and you can use it when you grow up.”

Mengmeng kept looking at the stack of money over and over again. At first, Madam Feng was worried that she would tear up the money. I didn’t expect that when Mengmeng heard her words, her big eyes would shine. Qian waved it in his hand, and laughed out eight millet teeth.

“I knew that Mengmeng is smart, and she can understand everything grandma says.” Madam Feng raised her chin and said with great pride, and took out two small red envelopes wrapped in red paper from her arms and stuffed them into The big baby and the second baby said, “You two also have New Year’s money. After the new year, you are one year older. You can’t be naughty. Take care of your sister, you know?”

Dawa and Erwa took apart the red paper and took out ten cents from it. They were so happy that they couldn’t figure out how much it was for a long time. They were pulling their fingers there.

Madam Feng couldn’t bear to see it, why was she so stupid? She closed her eyes and said angrily, “That’s a dime. You two are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately, do you hear?”

“Understood, milk.” The big baby and the second baby finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, and they had the New Year’s Eve money in their hands. They ran out of the house and went to have fun. Although there wasn’t even a shop selling things in the village, they knew they were rich at a young age. It’s also good to show off with your friends.

As soon as the main room was cleaned up, the second and third children next door brought the whole family to pay New Year’s greetings. Madam Feng also gave the same New Year’s money to several grandchildren, and even gave them candy to eat, making the grandchildren happy. Home is good.

When Chen Hongmei returned home after praying for the New Year, she immediately grabbed the five babies and six babies and said, “Where’s your New Year’s money? Bring it to Mom to keep it for you, and use it for you to marry your daughter-in-law in the future.”

Liuwa didn’t know what a daughter-in-law was, but Mom said she would give it if she wanted it. He obediently handed it over. Wuwa looked at him with disgust. How old are they both? In the year of the monkey, the month of the horse, if the money is given to his mother, he will definitely not come back, so he is not so stupid.

Wuwa shrank his shoulders and slipped out of his mother’s hands. As he ran out, he turned back and shouted, “Mom, I don’t want to marry a daughter-in-law. I will keep the money myself.”

It was completely dark, and Mrs. Feng lit two kerosene lamps and placed them in the main room, and the family gathered around the kerosene lamps to keep the year old.

Mengmeng clings to the tiger after eating, chasing the tiger to grab its fur, how can she be faster than the tiger? It was Huzi who kept letting her go, stopped when she saw that she could barely crawl, and ran again when she was about to reach, making Mengmeng crawling around the room.

When she got tired of playing, Mrs. Feng brought her an old dress and spread it on the ground, and asked her to sit there with her back against Huzi, when Mengmeng took out her little red cloth pocket to play, Mrs. Feng He teased her and said, “Mengmeng, do you want to keep this money for yourself, or do you keep it for your mother?”

“Qian Ka Ka Ka…” Mengmeng pinched the little red cloth pocket and smiled very happily, and suddenly stuffed it into Hu Zi’s mouth, Hu Zi grabbed the little red cloth pocket and ran out the door instantly, Feng Feng The family hadn’t reacted yet. After a while, Hu Zi came back, and the red cloth pocket in his mouth was gone.

“Oh, Huzi still hides money.” Everyone in the family knows that Huzi has the habit of hiding things, like the little cloth tiger that Mengmeng no longer wants to use as a toy, and no one can find it after it is hidden. But from time to time, it can be seen to play with it, and it must have been hiding money when it went out just now.

Madam Feng thinks Huzi is a spiritual animal, and she has no doubt that it will lose money, and she also reminded: “Then you have to hide it for Mengmeng, and return it to her when she grows up. Don’t forget her.”

Huzi shook her big tail, walked to Mengmeng’s legs, lay down and licked her little feet, making Mengmeng ticklish and giggling. She wanted to hide Huzi to the side and chased after her to lick, Mengmeng’s mouth Saying “bad bad”, he suddenly grabbed the fluff on Hu Zi’s body and stood up, and followed Hu Zi forward two steps.

The whole family can’t believe that Mengmeng has learned to walk like this. She used to learn to crawl very quickly, and she learned to speak quickly, but she can’t learn to walk. Mengmeng came over: “Mengmeng, come to grandma’s side.” “Go to grandpa’s place.” “Mengmeng, father is here, come here, father to hold you up high.” “Mengmeng, come to mother.”

Mengmeng’s face was flushed with excitement because of her family’s encouragement. She just felt that walking was also a very honorable thing. Take a few steps forward.

She didn’t have enough leg strength. She wanted to reach out and ask someone to hug her when she was halfway there. Seeing that they didn’t want to come over, Mengmeng prefers to crawl. She just bent down and wanted to squat or not, Mrs. Feng Immediately slapped her hands and said, “Mengmeng is good, grandma loves Mengmeng the most. You go to grandma’s place and grandma will hug you.”

Mengmeng regained some strength after listening to this encouragement. She grabbed the tiger and followed it a few steps. When it was about to get there, she loosened its fur, and staggered and swooped towards Mrs. Feng’s arms. Sweetly called “milk”, and let out a series of “giggle” silver bell-like laughter, which surprised the whole family as if they had picked up a treasure, and surrounded her with a loud compliment.
