As mentioned before, spring almost always arrives in March in other places, but this place in the Northeast is particularly different. The trees have not sprouted in March.
But the vernal equinox has to be passed, it’s a routine.
Although every household is not rich nowadays, the stomach that has not eaten anything since the Spring Festival is waiting to be replenished at this time.
On the vernal equinox, spring cakes and vegetables are naturally indispensable.
Although you can't eat the kind of "luxury meal" that Yun Shu makes, the spring cakes made from corn flour, sweet potato flour or soy flour mixed with bran noodles that have been sifted several times are also rare and delicious.
If you want to mix it with vegetables, add a few drops of oil to shredded cabbage and potatoes, then stir it through and it will be crispy and sweet.
If you add two scrambled eggs with shredded green onions, it would be so fragrant and luxurious.
In addition to spring pancakes and vegetables, the specialty of Northeast China, rice porridge, is an absolute must.
People who have some conditions will also make a bowl of dumplings. After all, Chinese people’s love for dumplings is really indescribable. No matter what festival it is or what solar term it is, dumplings are a must-order delicacy.
In addition, there are also Northeastern stews, such as goose stewed in an iron pot, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli... They are really delicious.
Time goes back to noon, when Yun Shu and his two younger brothers were eating shrimp and three delicacies dumplings, the Wang family's old house was also eating.
The seven people who were originally a happy family were divided into two groups after Yun Shu "resurrected from the dead".
On a snowy night, Wang Dazhi suffered frostbite on his leg. The behavior of Wang Tiezhu and Xia Zhaodi also made Mrs. Wang realize how cruel these two couples were. After she became disheartened, let alone having dinner together, Mrs. Wang even brought up the baby she raised by herself. Wu didn't want to see him anymore, and naturally Xiaowen didn't care about it either. He only focused on looking after his old man, not even his little girl.
Today is the Spring Equinox. In the past, Wang Dazhi would go for a walk in the mountains and fields, and then ask the village farming experts about the weather and discuss the date for spring plowing. This was the top priority in the village.
But now...
Wang Dazhi was already chilled to the bone. If Yun Shu hadn't given him a sip of spiritual water mixed with ten thousand year old stalactite to save his life, he would have passed away today.
However, although Wang Ye performed acupuncture afterwards, no matter how superb Wang Ye's medical skills were, he was still not a god. He could not save lives by treating illnesses, but the best result was that he could force the cold air to his left leg without paralyzing Wang Dazhi on the kang.
Now that he has been raised for a month, although he can still go to the ground, it is good to be able to take care of himself with a leg that is cold in the bones.
Therefore, for the position of captain of the production team, he had already submitted an application to resign. Two days ago, the town responded and agreed. Then the team voted for a new captain, who took office a few days ago.
Mrs. Wang knows her husband well and knows that although he doesn't care on the surface, he must be unhappy in his heart.
So she asked her daughter to go to the town with meat tickets and buy two kilograms of meat a long time ago, waiting to make dumplings at the Spring Equinox.
The old man loved to eat dumplings made with pickled cabbage and pork. The old lady gritted her teeth and made pure white noodles. Since she wanted to eat them, she let the old man eat them happily.
It's a pity that three large bowls of steaming dumplings were served on the table, and there was not a trace of smile on Wang Dazhi's face.
Mrs. Wang was not always a good-tempered person. Now that she had been busy all morning, and seeing the old man's dejected face, she felt that the tone of her heart was suffocating her to death, and she dropped the chopsticks in her hand directly on the table.
"Why, are you still waiting for your good granddaughter to come over and say hello to your old man?"
"Bah, Wang Dazhi, you should have some shame."
"Jin Alin and I have a grudge against killing our father. I treated his granddaughter harshly and abused his great-grandson. I did it on purpose, and I don't feel guilty. But you, Wang Dazhi, really don't know anything?"
"Now I regret it. If I had to live or die, why would I go to my son's grave to make amends? But you never thought about how the village would evaluate your eldest granddaughter if you really died? Hey, this is the same person who forced my own grandfather to death. Wang Daya."
"Oh, you haven't thought about it, because you know that with the abilities of that child and Mr. Wang, you can't die. As for being injured and disabled, it just so happens that you can have peace of mind yourself, and that damn girl might forgive you for this... "
"Haha, that damn girl, Da Ya, has been able to pretend for so long under our eyes. She is as smart as a monkey. Do you think she can guess what you are thinking?"
"If she guessed it and still acted filial in front of you, what do you think she wanted to do?"
"Don't tell me that the three siblings have to rely on you in the village. Those three have to move to Changbai Village now. You, a disabled grandfather who has resigned from office, do you have anything to worry about?"
"Of course, it's also possible that the bad bamboo will produce good bamboo shoots, and the person is really filial."
Old Mrs. Wang was too lazy to speak after she had shouted so much. The room was silent for a while.
If Yun Shu were here, he would definitely praise the old lady for being "truly sober in the world." By the way, I would like to prove that, yes, she is a good bamboo shoot from that evil bamboo. She, Wang Yunshu, should die in filial piety!
But she is not here, so Xiao Wen, who is still ignorant, is not included in and outside the house. The remaining six people are selfish and do not believe that others are "really filial".
Not to mention Wang Dazhi, who was blushing at his wife's rebuke and instantly turned pale because of his wife's analysis. Wang Tiezhu and Xia Zhaodi, who were also preparing to eat in the west room, were also stunned when they heard what was going on in the east room.
Even Xiao Wu, who was clamoring for dumplings, calmed down with a wink, but when his parents weren't paying attention, he secretly grabbed a piece of egg from the shallow plate with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
The scrambled eggs that had just come out of the pot were naturally still hot. Now the couple couldn't think about anything, and they beat and scolded Xiao Wu and poured cold water on him.
Afterwards, sitting on the kang, Xia Zhaodi looked at a plate of mixed-noodle spring cakes, a plate of fried shredded cabbage, two lightly fried eggs and a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions on the table. She thought of the white noodles stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork that Dongwu had eaten. Dumplings, braised pork from a state-owned restaurant in the county... Look at the father and son who are eating so deliciously carelessly, and the crying daughter has peed on the kang again...
Compared with the man who bought her clothes, food and food and his whole heart was focused on her, everything in front of her made Xia Zhaodi extremely bored.
She didn't want to live like this, and she didn't want to sleep on the same bed with a loser like Wang Tiezhu anymore...
Furthermore, although the damn old woman in the east room was mean, she was not confused. Xia Zhaodi also felt that something was very wrong with that damn girl in Daya.
Thinking of Daya's words about "climbing from hell", Xia Zhaodi shuddered. She could no longer stay in the Wang family... It was time, she couldn't wait any longer.
After making a decision, Xia Zhaodi ate the meal calmly, and even changed from her indifference in the past few days and rolled spring pancakes for Wang Tiezhu herself.
"Master, I want to go back to my parents' house to see my father."
Wang Tiezhu frowned: "You just went back a few days ago, why are you going back again?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Zhaodi in confusion, "Don't you despise your father the most for spending all day long and despise your parents for not doing anything for you? How many times have you gone back during this period? Why didn't I know you were so filial? .”
As for the extent of his father-in-law's leg injury, Wang Tiezhu didn't ask a question.
Xia Zhaodi had a guilty conscience and was shocked when she heard this. However, looking at the man's face carefully, she knew that he didn't know anything. He just said it casually, and then she felt relieved.
Pretending to be sad on his face, he said: "No matter how bad my father is, he is still dear to me. Besides, my mother said she missed her grandson last time. There is also Xiaowen. Her grandmother met her when she was one month old. My father-in-law was not in good condition before and we couldn't leave him. You, I didn’t mention it. You haven’t been there since the second year of junior high school. Now there’s nothing important. Why don’t you ride your bike and take the three of us there to have a look?”
Before Wang Tiezhu could say anything, Xiao Wu curled his lips and said, "Mom, please pull it off. My grandma misses me? What does she miss me for? Does she want me to beat her precious grandson, or does she want me to pee on her kang? Miss Xiao Wen? Then It's even more nonsense. Last time grandma came, she said Xiaowen was a loser. If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won't go."
While his son was talking, Wang Tiezhu stuffed the last piece of egg into his mouth and nodded while eating: "My son can carry it cleanly. I won't go either. If you want to go, go by yourself, and don't take Xiaowen with you. I'm afraid your mother will kill me." My daughter secretly sold it."
Although Xia Zhaodi didn't want to take them there in the first place, when she heard this, she almost cried because of the two fathers. At this point, the last hesitation in her heart because of the two children was gone.
She put down her chopsticks and pretended to be upset and said, "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself. I won't be back tonight. You two can cook for yourself."
Xia Zhaodi stopped eating, packed two pieces of clothes, opened the door and left.
Wang Tiezhu and Xiao Wu were left looking at each other. Are they really angry?
Wang Tiezhu stood up to chase, but thought of something and sat down again.
"It doesn't matter if your mother isn't at home. We, the three of us, will go to your room to eat at night."
When Xiao Wu heard this, he couldn't move.
His grandma doesn’t like his mother. Now that his mother is gone, can his grandma give him some white flour dumplings?
Compared with dumplings, scrambled eggs don’t even taste good... Hey, where are my eggs?
