Thread Without End

Chapters 16. Chinese cake fry.

After finishing touring the neighboring houses to congratulate the new year, Alin and his two children returned home and cleaned up all the mess that had been made by Yudi at home.

While Yudi himself chose to go to the house of his other friends and was reluctant to invite his wife because of the shame of bringing Alin who did not wear new clothes and did not look attractive like other wives from friendsfriends mostly.

They are so good at taking care of themselves and are also good at preening, and good at pleasing their respective husbands.

But it was better, because Alin could rest at home without Yudi, who loved to order and rule at will. In addition, he also did not have to hear the words of the wives of Yudi's friends who hurt in other people's homes.

Meanwhile Yuan was very happy to get a lot of angpao from the elders he went to his house. Instantly inside his little head he had been circling about his plan to buy something from the money.

But the carefree smile on his face suddenly faded, after seeing the expression on his mother's face that was so sad in a long daydream.

"Mama," called Yuan while shaking his mother's arm to stop daydreaming.

Alin looked over and smiled faintly. "Yes Koh, what's wrong?" weak tanyanya.

Yuan showed the money in his wind that was worth quite a fair amount. "Stocky to get a lot of money, we snack! Let Kokoh pay," bargained the boy tried to comfort his mother.

"No need Koh, dear money. Mending money Sturdy tube yes," reply Alin refused.

"Yes Sturdy will save half the money, but Mama do not refuse the gift of Sturdy." The yuan divides the money into two different parts of value.

The low value he put in his pants pocket and the rest were quite nicely glittered put in a chicken-shaped piggy bank of clay.

"Well, it's hard to get into the piggy bank!" point Yuan a little unwillingly. Because his desire to buy toys must be buried again.

Alin smiled and rubbed the top of Yuan's head. "Good, saving is very useful. Sturdy can use the money for sudden needs that are more important than using it for temporary fun things," Alin's advice explains how important saving is.

Yuan nodded obediently, as if understanding what the mother said to him. "Yes Ma, Sturdy understood."

Alin smiled and took Yuan out of the house. "Mom want ice cut, sturdy buyin ya."

Yuan smiled widely and nodded quickly. "Yes, it'll be solid buyin!"

The two of them sat in front of the house, waiting for the ice cutters to come past their house. And when the long-awaited iceman was seen at the end, Yuan immediately stopped the ice cart, spread out his arms wide.

"Abang stops, Sturdy wants her ice!" decah Yuan's.

The ice-cut brother stopped according to his instructions and served his small customer. "What flavor of ice does little broom?"

"The avocado is the same brown," replied Yuan acting like an adult by pointing at what he saw in front of the wagon.

While Alin just smiled looking at his son's behavior and accepted when Yuan gave him a piece of avocado ice flavor. "Thank you" said Alin.

"Together" replied Yuan.

The two of them sat back and enjoyed the ice cut while waiting for the afternoon to arrive, occasionally greeting the neighbors who passed by their house.

...----------------...

A few days later.

Fourteen days after the Chinese celebration, all Chinese citizens will celebrate the night of Cap Go Meh or it can be said also as the closing night of the Chinese new year.

Usually, on that night there will be a festive event in a number of temples or in various special places that present some performances of the art of barongsai dance and also the art of dragon dance/Liong.

And that afternoon Alin lowered the basket cake on the table of ashes and the basket cake with the banana leaf wrap he opened and then cut into small pieces.

Then after the cake into small pieces, Alin made flour dough like dough for bakwan. Where it smoothes seasonings such as shallots, garlic and pepper/pepper. Then put into a flour dough and stirred evenly by adding water and salt to taste, to be fried in hot oil.

Many of them create their own shape and taste according to the taste of their respective tongues, but for Alin the recipe is what he likes the most.

The savory flour flavor scented onion, combined with the sweet and soft taste of the cake basket itself is very fitting. Especially if enjoyed in conditions still warm, and accompanied by a cup of black coffee or fresh tea when eating it.

Besides being fried, Alin also steamed a basket cake and covered in coconut grater so as not to stick to his son Yuan.

"Mama, Sturdy loves this steamed chinese cake." Yuan ate with his favorite cake.

"Eat it slowly baby, it's still hot. Sturdy part can ketelak loh if the food is not chewed first," said Alin.

Yuan chuckles. "It's delicious!" the answer doesn't care.

Alin quickly brought Yuan some drinking water to make it easier for Yuan to swallow the cake, Yuan's fondness for fried chinese cakes, reminding Alin to return to her husband. Where her husband would spend a plate of fried chinese cake with a cup of bitter coffee.

"Alien! Which cake?" ask Yudi.

"There's on Koh's table" Alin said.

"Ambilin, make a coffee cave!" tell Yudi who just woke up in broad daylight.

"Yes," obediently Alin carried out her husband's wishes.

It did not take long, Alin brought her husband's order and Yudi immediately ate fried chinese cake while sipping hot coffee.

"Have you registered the Yuan of the belom elementary school?" ask Yudi.

"Belom" replied Alin.

"Then enter him in private school" said Yudi.

Alin instantly widened his eyelids. "Private school? Yuan wants Alin to enter the presidential (country) school aja Koh," he refused.

Yudi looked at Alin. "Don't go to school in the presidential palace! Shy cave same friends cave Alin!"

"If the private school is expensive Koh, mending Yuan school in the presidential palace," insisted Alin.

Because not without cause, for daily life alone Alin felt short and difficult to find more money. Especially to finance school in Private schools, which costs are very high, Alin has not been able to accept it.

"Bodo time! Anyway the cave wants Yuan to go to private school, if you can't be nyangupin. Mending our children doesn't need school. Point!" hold Yudi too.

"Oke Yuan was an expensive Private school, but Kokoh helped Alin make more money for his school fees" Alin replied.

"Caves every day also look for money, but the elegance is a holy pretentious do not want to receive money from the cave," replied Yudi.

"How can Alin accept it if it's money from the Judi, is not a blessing Koh. Alin did not want Yuan to get education from illegal money," said Alin gave his reason..

"Well, you yourself are the one who refuses and pretends to be holy, so you are the one who is looking for halal money if you feel that way!" reply Yudi.
