She cannot teach her children to hate, but she does not want them to be trapped in so-called family exploitation.
She was already an example of being tied to death by family ties in her previous life, so there was no need for Ru Xin to try again.
Ru Yue changed the subject: "Hurry up and make the dumplings. After a while, we will sacrifice the food to the stove and we will eat the rice dumplings made with fermented rice. They are sweet."
"Oh, let's eat fermented dumplings!"
Ru Xin cheered, very happy, not affected by what he just said at all, and really had no intention of mentioning Tang Zihong again.
Ru Datao came back just in time, and was very happy when he heard the cheers: "I'm back, I heard it all, let's eat dumplings today!"
Ru Xin cheered and rushed over again: "Dad! Dad is back!"
Her hands were still stained with flour, and she covered Ru Datao's sleeve with white flowers.
But Ru Da Tao didn't mind, he caught her immediately, picked her up and lifted her up high: "Hey! My Xin Xin."
Ru Xin smiled with excitement on her face: "Dad, I will be one year older after the Chinese New Year, right?"
"Yes, you will be eight years old after the Chinese New Year."
"Then can you still lift me?"
"I'll try again next year."
"Can daddy lift my sister?"
"My sister is now a big girl, so it's not easy to lift her around like this. But when my sister was your age, my father also lifted her to watch outdoor movies."
"Dad, I want to be like my sister!"
Ru Xin screamed loudly and kept pushing her body towards Ru Yue. Finally, Ru Da Tao hugged her and let her hand hook around Ru Yue's neck.
Ru Datao said: "Okay, if there is an outdoor movie next year, dad will take you to see it too."
"No, no, I want to be as powerful as my sister, tall, beautiful, and able to make money."
The little girl's voice was crisp, and when she shouted, the whole family became lively.
This excitement lasted until the next day, and Ru Xin was still very excited, helping Ru Yue run errands and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Sister, where do you put this chicken drumstick?"
"Put it on a clean cutting board. After I've cut it, I'll pour the prepared scallion sauce over it, and it'll be a white-cut chicken."
Now Ru Yue will try her best to teach Ru Xin every step every time she cooks. No matter whether she can learn it or not, she will teach her later.
Looking forward to the day when Ru Xin will prepare meals for her to come back and eat soon.
"What about the fish?"
"These fish will need to be cooked for a while longer. The salted fish will be cooked for a while to get the flavor."
Ru Xin suddenly came closer and changed the topic: "Sister, that mute, can he really not hear us when we speak?"
What Ru Xin was talking about was Yang Jianshe's son Doudou, whose real name was Yang Zhihang.
This morning, Yang Jianshe brought Doudou to Ru Yue and sent a lot of goods for many years, including pork and salted fish. They said they were sent by Li Ying's natal family in the countryside, and they specially gave Ru Yue a portion.
Because they almost lost their child before, the Yang family now pays close attention to Doudou. They usually don't let him go to other people's homes to play. That is because they think Ru Yue is a trustworthy person, so they dare to take the child out to visit relatives.
.
Doudou is very introverted, and almost hides behind Yang Jianshe when he comes here.
Ru Yue asked Ru Xin to play with Doudou for a while. They were probably about the same age and the two children could play together. When Yang Jianshe wanted to take Doudou away, Doudou was still unwilling!
At this moment, Ru Yue heard Ru Xin ask this and couldn't help but give her a warning look:
"Xinxin, I've already told you that Brother Yang's children have names, Doudou. Don't call them dumb. Being mute is a physical defect of a person, and no one wants to be named after a defect. For example, you are now
If you are very thin, would you like people to call you thin? For example, if your hair used to be yellow, would you like others to call you yellow?"
"Oh." Ru Xin stuck out her tongue: "I know, I won't say that next time. But sister, you haven't answered me yet. That mute, blah blah blah, Doudou, can he really not hear it at all?
"
"Yes, Brother Yang said, he couldn't hear it at all."
"That's really weird! Why do I feel like he can hear me? When I was moving the sunflowers in the yard, I said I wanted to move the yellow ones, but I didn't move the red ones first, so he helped me move the yellow ones."
Ru Xin's eyes were full of disbelief, and Ru Yue became confused when she saw her: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"What a coincidence? I moved five times, and all five times were just a coincidence?"
"Uh... Xinxin, it's probably a coincidence that Doudou's parents say that Doudou is deaf-mute. Which parent would normally lie about this kind of thing? And it's just because Doudou is deaf-mute, so he went to school
This time he lost it and he wouldn’t even go home on his own.”
"...Is that so, okay? That might be a coincidence. Eh? Could it be that he likes yellow? Then I will give him my yellow socks next time!"
"Do you like him playing with you?"
Ru Xin lowered his head and looked at his toes: "It's not like he doesn't like it very much, and it's not like he doesn't like it. He doesn't talk, but I don't have anyone to play with."
This is an issue that Ru Yue ignored.
Ru Xin used to have a weird personality, like a little hedgehog with thorns all over his body. Now he is a bit better, but he hasn't been to school for a long time recently, and he really doesn't even have a playmate.
Thinking of this, Ru Yue suggested: "Then during the Chinese New Year, I will take you to Brother Yang's house to pay New Year greetings. You go and play with Doudou."
"Well, okay! Then I'll go to the yard to make sugar cookies. Dad and Brother Chen will be back soon!" Ru Xin ran away happily.
To make sugar cakes, put lime powder in a basket with fine holes. Walk around in the yard and knock it, leaving a round lime mark on the ground.
This is a custom in Songyu. It is said that the man-eating monster "Nian" has a habit of not turning back. When it sees white marks on the ground, it will mistakenly think that these are the footprints it has walked on, and will not go back.
If the festival comes again, then those who have made sugar cookies will have a safe and prosperous new year.
Ru Yue was frying egg dumplings on the small stove while looking out.
The sky was a little cloudy and it looked like it was going to snow, but Ru Xin didn't care about the weather at all. She took an old bamboo basket and happily left white marks in the yard.
Although the white seals are messy, they add a strong flavor of the New Year.
Ru Yue was looking at the corner of her mouth slightly when she heard someone knocking on the door.
The force of the knocking was so strong that it didn't feel like knocking, but tapping.
Even Ru Xin sensed that something was wrong. He stopped beating the "sugar cookies" and shouted outside the house: "Who is it? Why are you knocking so loudly? Do you want to pay for the damage to the door?"
The yellow-haired dog Xiaolang sat up straighter, straightened his ears, and looked at the door warily.
Ru Yue also looked outside in confusion, wondering if someone else was looking for Zhong Chen?
As a result, I heard a strange voice outside the door shouting: "Does that Ru Yue live here? Let her come out! Ru Yue, come out!"
