Thinking of the fact that the head of the family was hosting in the past, my mother couldn't help but feel a little sad. This year's old god did not bless her husband, or did the old god miss her husband, so she took her away?

I gave up this idea and began to kneel on the ground. Behind, the others also knelt down in order. The room was small, and although there were only a few people, they were all full of kneeling.

At this time, I don’t know the peach pits sleeping on the kang in the west room. When it comes, he will have his place here. During the Spring Festival every year, this ceremony has a deep memory. Of course, for a child, he doesn’t understand what he is doing. In short, every time this ceremony is held, it means that he can eat meat for several consecutive days.

I was talking in front of me, asking the old god to go home for the New Year. At the same time, I hope the old god will bless my family and protect my wife and live comfortably in another world.

After saying these words, I picked up a yellow watch in my hand. It was a thing that was folded with yellow paper. It looked a bit like an envelope, but it looked similar to a file bag. This yellow watch was specially burned for the old god.

On the ground in the outer room, I lit the yellow watches, a total of three. Seeing them slowly burning to ashes, I kowtowed to the tablet three times, then stood up and lit three incense sticks. From now on, the fireworks of this incense cannot be stopped. Fortunately, the incense burns for a long time, and changing twice a day is enough. The ceremony is over.

"Okay, everyone should remember that from now on, don't take anything out of the house." My mother said, not everyone in the village would invite the old gods. Only in a family like her, the old man used to be the shopkeeper of the town and went out of business. In order to bless the old man, the family invited him back.

After the old god arrives at home, he can't take things out. He can only send the old god away after the third year of junior high school.

After completing this ceremony, it was already noon. Lunch was still the same as before, and it was called stir-frying cake in the dialect here.

This rice is very simple to make. Boil water in a large pot. After the water boils, put the cornmeal inside, stir it vigorously with a pair of chopsticks or a shovel, and continue pouring the cornmeal while stirring. The cornmeal will be cooked in the water. At the same time, as the cornmeal is poured in, the pot will eventually become sticky. When the cornmeal underneath has stuck to the bottom of the pot and becomes a crust, the stir-frying cake in the pot will be considered ready.

A few years ago, I couldn’t even eat cornmeal. Everyone ate sorghum noodles. That food was really hard to swallow, and my throat hurted. Now it’s a blessing to be able to eat cornmeal.

After the stir-frying cake is finished, use a shovel to shovel and put it in the bowl. There is another interesting thing at this time, which is to push it hard in the bowl. The stir-frying cake inside will roam back and forth in the bowl, churning up and down. Originally, the stir-frying cake was sticky, but after this, its surface will become smooth.

This thing is just a meal, how to solve the problem of the food?

When winter comes, three large jars of sauerkraut are pickled at home. All winter is this one. There are three large jars of sauerkraut standing on the ground in the outer room. The sauerkraut inside constantly smells of sourness, and the smell is permeated at home throughout the winter.

The sauerkraut is pickled with cabbage. Wash the cabbage and put it in a water tank. Sprinkle a layer of cabbage with salt and spread it layer by layer. After it is full, pour water inside. The water must flood the noodles, and then press it with a large stone. It will be eaten in about half a month.

In that special era, food had to be preserved through special methods, and almost every winter was spent on this sauerkraut.

When eating the cake, the dishes are not needed. Just serve a spoonful of sauerkraut soup and pour it on the cake. This is considered a dish. It is sour and thick. When you eat it in your mouth, it will definitely feel different from eating the kind of boiled corn.

If you use this kind of cake, Lao Liu can eat three big bowls. Only by eating can he work. Although Lao Liu is thin, Lao Liu still has some strength.

While eating delicious cakes, the dog in the yard barked. Lao Liu stood up and pushed open the door and saw a fat and short woman coming over.

"Shut up and stop barking. Don't your family recognize you?" The woman shouted at the roaring dog. In this era, almost every household has a watchdog.

The woman also held a small basin in her hands.

"Second sister-in-law, come in quickly." Lao Liu welcomed the woman in. This woman was his second brother's wife. He basically went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. Since he split up with his second brother, he has not come here much. Today is New Year's Eve, why is the second sister-in-law back?

"Yeah, it's New Year's Eve, why are you still eating cakes?" Sister-in-law said to the people in the room. Everyone was embarrassed to say this. Even on New Year's Eve, they couldn't eat delicious food!

"We are preparing to make dumplings. We are not busy, so we invite the old gods, so we didn't care about it and we could almost eat it in the evening." Yulian said on the side. The dumpling stuffing and other things are all ready, so there must be something delicious tonight.

"This rice has to be prepared early." The second sister-in-law said proudly: "In the morning, I stewed the chicken and stewed it all morning. Now it's just cooked. I thought my mother couldn't eat pork, so I brought a pot over."

After the second sister-in-law finished speaking, she put the basin of chicken on the table and opened the lid on it. Sure enough, the aroma of chicken wafted out, including large pieces of chicken nuggets, potatoes, and even a few pieces of kelp, a full pot.

As soon as the fragrance came out, everyone couldn't help but move their throats. It was very fragrant!

"Second sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Fangfang said from the side.

"Well, it was prepared for my mother, but let's eat together!" The second sister-in-law was very generous.

Could it be that I took care of my mother? My second sister-in-law also felt that she had saved a lot of trouble, so she came here to get closer to her relatives during the Chinese New Year?

Lao Liu secretly thought in his heart that after all, it would be nice to have a shout when he met before, but he would never expect her to bring such a basin of chicken to come here!

Although I put away the rags this year and had a few money on hand, Lao Liu only cut more than a dozen kilograms of pork, chicken, duck, fish, etc., but I never thought that after all, those all cost money. To talk about eating chicken, that was a year ago. An old hen raised at home was bitten to death by a dog, and then I ate the chicken.

It’s hard for my mother. It just so happens that I have chicken to eat. It’s the Chinese New Year, which is the filial piety of my second brother’s family.

"Mom, eat!" said the second sister-in-law with a smile.

"Or why don't we find a basin to put it first and free it up for your second sister-in-law. We're already full of lunch, so let's eat it later in the evening!" said the mother with a smile.
