When he got home, he couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, do we want to make zongzi?"
Fang Hui replied nonchalantly: "What are you making rice dumplings for? It's boring. What's so good about making these things? Only poor people would spend time doing this kind of thing. If you want to eat them, I'll buy them tomorrow."
Fang Bowen pursed his lips and said, "No."
When he got home, the little boy couldn't help but ask Si Nian: "Mom, can I have cake for my birthday?"
After saying that, fearing that Si Nian might think that he was still greedy for someone else's cake, he hurriedly explained: "Mom, I don't want such an expensive cake for my birthday."
Si Nian didn't expect that he was still thinking about this. Seeing that he was a little envious, he touched his head and said, "Does Xiaohan want to have a birthday?"
The little boy nodded immediately: "I think so!"
He watched people in his class celebrate their birthdays, and others even gave them gifts.
If it was his birthday, someone would definitely give him a gift.
He said: "My brother and I still have the same birthday, but we never celebrate birthdays."
Although there is a three-year age difference between him and his brother, their birthdays are both on June 1 of the lunar calendar.
Si Nian had also seen the birthdays of the three little ones in the household registration book before. The second one and the eldest child were on the same day, while Yaoyao's birthday was postponed one month to July.
Judging from Zhou Yueshen's situation, he probably isn't the kind of person who celebrates birthdays.
Not many people in rural areas can pay attention to such a ritual as birthdays.
No wonder Xiaohan is so envious.
She said: "When it's your birthday, mom will make cakes for you and your brother."
"At that time, you can also invite your friends to our house to celebrate your birthday. Does Xiaohan have any friends you want to invite?"
Oh my God, my mother can also make cakes!
Zhou Zehan was so excited that he immediately counted on his fingers and said: "The first one must be Shitou, then Xiao Jiang, and the classmates in our class... yes, yes, there are also Xiaozhu and the others from Tongzilou."
Jiang Zhu's ears twitched: the first one was actually not him but a stone.
He heard the name Shitou many times from his second brother. Every time the second brother mentioned his hometown, he would mention stones.
He said that they went up the mountain to chop firewood, cut pig grass, and catch loaches and small crabs...
Moreover, Shitou will help the second brother take care of his sister.
My sister also likes stones.
The whole family loves rocks.
Jiang Ji felt sour in his heart.
Is the stone more likable than him?
Others are fine, but the rocks are indeed a bit far apart.
You can't let people come all the way to celebrate his birthday.
Si Nian was helpless, but he did not defeat his son.
But she hadn't seen the little guy for a long time, so she was still thinking strangely.
Aunt Zhang and the others used to take care of themselves a lot.
Si Nian planned to give some of the rice dumplings to them and take them back. It was a holiday tomorrow, so she went to buy some clothes and toys for Shitou and her younger brother, and asked her eldest brother to send them back.
Si Nian looked at Zhou Zedong again and asked, "Where's Xiaodong, who do you want to invite to celebrate your birthday?"
She also wanted to know if Xiaodong had any friends.
He was originally worried that the little boss had not made friends yet, but unexpectedly he said: "Mom, can I invite Brother Chen and Pang Dun?"
My younger brother invites all students, but he has no friends in school.
I only have a little familiarity with Brother Chen and the others.
But Brother Chen and the others were gangsters, and he was afraid that Si Nian wouldn't be happy.
Si Nian immediately smiled and said, "Of course!"
She said, touched the heads of the two children and let them play by themselves.
Si Nian went to wash the rice dumpling leaves first and soak them in water.
Then soak the glutinous rice.
It takes at least three hours to soak the glutinous rice. She starts cooking after it is soaked.
To celebrate the festival, Si Nian asked the children to take a bath so that they could wear new clothes tomorrow.
The little boy immediately followed Jiang Jiu home and went to his house to rub his bathtub.
I heard that some fashionistas also have shower heads that can put hot water in, which is very convenient.
Zhou Zedong bathed his sister at home and then washed himself.
He doesn't have the shamelessness of his younger brother to take a shower.
After cleaning up, Zhou Yueshen came back.
He was holding a bag of chopped mutton in his hand.
When he put it in the kitchen, it smelled like mutton.
"Our pig farm slaughtered the sheep today, and we can eat the mutton tomorrow."
He couldn't afford mutton in the countryside. After coming to the city, Zhou Yueshen noticed that people here ate mutton during the Dragon Boat Festival.
During this period of time, hundreds of sheep have been sent to their breeding farm for slaughter.
A good pig farm, with a strong smell of sheep.
I heard that the slaughterhouse was closed for the holidays and took the opportunity to increase the price. It used to cost only ten yuan to kill a sheep, but now they charge twenty.
It happened that my own pig farm was all done by myself, and I didn’t know where the news came from, and more and more people came.
It's almost three o'clock in the morning and there are still ten sheep to kill.
It's not impossible to do it tomorrow morning, but everyone wants to celebrate the holidays.
Tonight, we can only pass in the early hours of the morning.
When Si Nian heard this, he thought they were working hard and said, "Okay, I'll make more rice dumplings later, and you can take them over and share them with everyone."
As a boss lady, you have to show off during the holidays.
Zhou Yueshen had already guaranteed bonuses for everyone, but after hearing what Si Nian said, he didn't want to cause trouble to her.
But seeing several children gearing up to make rice dumplings, he didn't say much and nodded slightly.
After everyone finished eating in the evening, Si Nian saw that the glutinous rice was almost soaked and started to wrap it.
Jiang Jiu shouted to make rice dumplings and refused to go home.
Hearing that Si Nian wanted to make rice dumplings, Grandma Jiang's family came over.
Jiang Wenqing was sitting next to his son and listening to him teach him how to make rice dumplings.
From time to time, when his son criticizes him and says, "Dad is so stupid," he not only doesn't get angry, but actually smiles happily.
Grandma Jiang is like a rich woman, but she didn't expect to be very good at making rice dumplings.
Si Nian thought about the old couple and guessed that Wenqing was not the kind of person who knew how to cook, so he proposed to eat mutton hot pot at home tomorrow morning and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together.
Before Grandma Jiang could politely refuse, Jiang Jiu said happily: "Okay, okay, let's celebrate the holidays with my second brother!"
"Auntie, I want to sleep with my second brother tonight!"
In order to avoid going home tonight, the little guy has already changed into his pajamas and has a nightcap on his head. His fair little face is particularly cute.
Si Nian is a bit of a face-controlling person, and every time he sees Jiang Jiu, he feels that this child is so pretty and cute.
If it was a girl, she would definitely be kidnapped and brought back to be her son's wife.
Zhou Yueshen had to go out early in the morning, so Si Nian sent him to sleep.
Zhou Yueshen was not happy at first. After all, everyone was busy here, how could he sleep.
He didn't go back to his room until Si Nian secretly whispered in his ear that they would go to a movie together tomorrow.
Watch a movie?
He had never gone to the movies with Si Nian.
I heard this is something only couples in love would do.
Zhou Yueshen fell asleep immediately.
Everyone was busy all night and made two big pots of rice dumplings.
Some of it was given to the Jiang family, and Si Nian packed a big bag for Zhou Yueshen to take to the factory, and the rest was eaten at home.
