Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays

Since entering the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and everyone in the village is happily preparing for it.

This is the first year after Lin Ru traveled through time. She feels it is particularly meaningful and takes it very seriously.

I went early to learn how to make sticky rice dumplings made of rhubarb and rice flour from the village head's wife, Aunt Wang, and to build relationships with her so that it would be easier to get things done in the future.

"Aunt, I learned it."

Lin Ru shouted happily while holding the sticky rice dumplings which were still a little untidy in her hand.

Although she had never made these before, she was able to make dumplings, buns, and wontons with ease, so after practicing twice, she was able to do it, but it didn't look very good yet.

"Not bad, you can tell at first glance that he is an experienced hand."

Aunt Wang looked at the sticky rice dumplings in Lin Ru's hand and praised them sincerely.

Compared with other people in the educated youth point, Aunt Wang still likes Lin Ru the most. She thinks she is quiet and does not take the initiative to cause trouble. Even if there is trouble, she is also considerate of the village and does not make things difficult for her husband.

So when she brought some things today to learn how to make sticky rice dumplings, Aunt Wang happily agreed.

"It's almost time for our village to slaughter the New Year pig. Not only can we get some pork, but we can also eat the slaughtered pig dishes, which are very delicious."

Aunt Wang's fingers flew as she skillfully wrapped the sticky rice dumplings. With a smile on her face, she chatted casually with Lin Ru, and from time to time she glanced at Maodan who was drooling at the side.

"Maodan, stay away from the sticky bean buns. Your saliva is about to flow all over them."

Maodan raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth randomly, then supported himself on the kang with his two little hands, stuck out his butt, slid back, and quickly sat up straight. His movements were extremely smooth and silky, and his eyes were staring straight at him, not moving away for even a moment.

Lin Ru burst out laughing, Aunt Wang scolded with a smile, Maodan blinked his big, innocent eyes, looked at the two of them, and also grinned foolishly, but he didn't laugh twice and stared at the sticky rice dumplings again.

Aunt Wang calculated the time and went to the kitchen to bring in the steaming sticky rice dumplings.

When Maodan saw Aunt Wang come in, he immediately changed his target and followed the sorghum stalk curtain in her hand until Aunt Wang placed the curtain on the kang.

Maodan immediately sat next to him and stared closely.

"Maodan, stay away."

Aunt Wang called out, but Maodan didn't hear it at all, his mind was full of sticky rice dumplings.

When Lin Ru saw Maodan like this, she felt that it was very similar to her childhood. At that time, she was also very greedy. Whenever her mother made delicious food, she would follow her closely, just wanting to have a taste first. Although she had enough food to eat on a normal day, she just felt that the food from the pot was especially delicious.

Thinking of this, her heart softened. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up and would no longer wait by the pot just to have one more bite.

"Come, give our little one the first sticky bean bun."

Lin Ru picked up a sticky bean that was still a little hot, put it in a clean, empty bowl, raised the corners of her mouth, and handed it to Maodan with loving eyes.

Similar scenes, similar words, except that she changed from a little person receiving the bowl to an adult handing the bowl.

The steam was too strong and made Lin Ru's eyes a little red.

Maodan looked at the bowl handed to him greedily, and then looked at Aunt Wang inquiringly. Aunt Wang looked at Maodan's greedy look and nodded gently.

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

Maodan took the bowl carefully, looked at the sticky rice dumplings in the bowl with satisfaction, and wanted to scoop a piece into his mouth with a spoon. However, the sticky rice dumplings just out of the pot were too sticky, and Maodan was not strong enough, so he fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't get it into his mouth.

He was so anxious that he put his mouth close to the bowl and used all his strength with his hands. This time he did scoop out a small piece, but his force was too great and his small body fell backwards and directly onto the kang.

Maodan was startled and just lay straight on the kang. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he raised his two hands at lightning speed, looked to his left to see that the sticky rice dumplings were still firmly stuck to the bottom of the bowl, then looked to see that the rice dumplings were also stuck to the spoon. He imitated the adults and breathed a sigh of relief, then happily put the spoon into his mouth.

After fiddling with the sticky rice dumplings with his little teeth and the spoon for a long time, he finally tasted the glutinous and sweet sticky rice dumplings. Edamame was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Lin Ru and Aunt Wang looked at Maodou's funny little appearance and laughed so hard that they fell over. They put the sticky rice dumplings in their hands on the chopping board, freed their hands to cover their stomachs, and laughed until tears came out of their eyes.

Maodan looked at Lin Ru and Aunt Wang and laughed, and wanted to laugh too. However, the rhubarb rice flour in his mouth was too sticky, and after opening his mouth for a long time, only a small opening could be made. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, jumping up and down like a monkey.

At this moment, Lin Ru and Aunt Wang laughed so hard that they lay down on the kang. For a moment, the small room was filled with laughter.

Amidst laughter and joy, all the yellow sticky rice dumplings were completed.

Relying on his great strength, Lin Ru managed to leave twenty for Aunt Wang, and then ran away as if escaping. He really could not withstand the extreme pull.

The days before the New Year always go by quickly. During this period, Lin Ru, apart from making all kinds of delicious food at home, went to the county to sell goods. Because people are always more willing to spend money before the New Year, Lin Ru made a lot of money.

Of course, she did not forget to deliver food to the old lady's house, but the amount she delivered this time was much larger because the old lady's friends asked for another batch of food.

Chinese people are like this. Whether they are rich or poor, they will do their best during the Chinese New Year to ensure that their families are well fed and clothed as possible.

When delivering food, Lin Ru saw that the old lady's family of three had become fatter and smiled more often. She was very happy and left a jar of well water for them.

The old lady was very grateful to Lin Rushi, and when she gave her the money, she also gave her a jade hairpin.

Lin Ru looked at the old lady's sincere eyes and didn't know how to refuse, so she could only accept it silently.

Originally thinking that this would be the last visit to the old lady's house before the New Year, but now that she had received her things, Lin Ru decided to send more supplies so that they could have a happy New Year in a lively and festive manner.

Lin Ru was so happy during this period that her hands cramped from collecting money and she made so much food that she couldn't finish it.

I thought I would be so happy until the time to slaughter the New Year pig and eat the slaughtered pig dishes, but I didn't expect to go up the mountain and get into trouble.

On this day, Lin Ru suddenly had the urge to go to the mountains to see if there were any wild animals, so he put on his equipment, picked up a large backpack, and headed up the mountain.

Breathing in the somewhat cold air and looking at the snow-covered mountains and the trees everywhere, my mood inexplicably improved.

After a stroll to her secret base, Lin Ru still found nothing. She was very puzzled. She could catch a few occasionally before, but she didn't know what happened recently. She basically came back empty-handed.

It doesn’t matter if she can’t catch him. She has enough food anyway. It’s another day with nothing to gain. Lin Ru picked up a basket of firewood and went down the mountain.

However, she discovered something was wrong on the way. She actually saw bright red blood, which scared her.
