Chapter 411 The Taste of the New Year on New Year's Eve
Shen Yi couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought that she was too busy to take care of her children, "If I had known you were waiting for me, I would have come back overnight last night and bought you some snacks, your mother Where? "
Shen Yi entered the main room and saw that there were only four children at home and Su Tai was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Yuezhang sighed like a little adult, "My godfather sent a letter three days ago, asking my father to get some more seafood to send to the imperial capital. After my mother received the news, she went to Dahe Town. Busy work.
Big. During the Chinese New Year, every household is busy! My mother has no choice but to hire people to do the work. Now the salary has increased to 150 yuan a day. I thought it would be great if my mother could come back for a reunion dinner tonight! ”
"So our family hasn't prepared a reunion dinner yet?" Shen Yi walked towards the kitchen house.
The four children shook their heads in unison.
Following Shen Yi, Shen Congrong said: "Dad, my grandfather sent a roasted whole lamb over early in the morning. My aunt said that she would send a pot of freshly baked meat buns later. "
The twins climbed onto the shelf and were quickly picked up by Shen Yi with quick eyes and hands.
Shen Congyu struggled and pointed to the clay pot on the shelf, "My mother stewed delicious food in it. She said that she could eat it after steaming the pot in a big pot."
Shen Yue'an echoed vigorously, "There are so many delicious things, I have seen them all!"
Shen Yi opened the clay pots one by one and found that they were either stewed soup or porridge, and there were two pots that the children liked. Sweets, coupled with roasted whole lamb and big meat buns, tonight’s dinner is complete.
When he thought that Su Tai was so busy and had to worry about taking care of her family, he couldn't stay any longer. He turned around and gave a few words to the four children, then hurriedly rode away again.
Ye was wearing a large cotton-padded jacket and walking halfway with a basket. When she saw Shen Yi coming on horseback, she subconsciously leaned to the side.
She waited until the horse passed before walking to Shen Yi's house and pulling the wooden stake.
Shen Yuezhang thought it was Shen Yi who left something behind and returned. He was about to speak when he unexpectedly saw Ye.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
Ms. Ye hurriedly handed over the basket, "Today is New Year's Eve, I made some food myself. It is a famous dish in Fucheng called red braised pork. , made with good pork belly, let me try it for you.”
“How embarrassing.” Shen Yuezhang declined in fear.
But Ms. Ye insisted, "Thanks to your family's care this year, we can have a good year. The family really can't bring out anything good. I hope Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen won't dislike it."
"No, no." At this point, Shen Yuezhang could only accept it and explained: "My father went to find my mother and is not at home. I will tell them later when my parents come back."
"There's nothing to say. Since your adults are not here, my aunt will go back first."
Seeing that Shen Yuezhang had collected his things, Ye was in a good mood and trotted back to the village to study with the empty basket. backyard.
Seeing her return, Zhou's mother hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did Mrs. Shen say? Do you dislike the things we gave you?"
Mr. Ye patted the snow off her coat and took off her coat. He came down and took it to the stove to bake, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen is not that kind of person, how could she dislike it? But she seems to be still busy in Dahe Town, and Lord Shen came back and left again, saying that he was looking for Shen Madam went.”
Mother Zhou couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "You said that people are so rich, and they are still officials. They work so hard during the New Year. They deserve to be rich."
"No! It's just Mrs. Shen's few All the children are excellent. The eldest lady speaks and handles things neatly and thoughtfully. I like how he treats people and behaves politely. The eldest son is polite, courteous and well-mannered. The second son is smart and smart, and the second lady is lively and cute. How wonderful!"
Ye talked about Shen! The Yi family is not stingy with all kinds of praise.
Zhou Ran on the side raised his eyebrows, "I agree with what you said about Yue Zhang and Cong Rong, but what you said about Cong Yu and Yue An is still too lively!" Su Tai reminded her when she first arrived when she sent her children to the village school. He told him that the two children were naughty and needed more control, but he didn't take it seriously until the two children took the other children to the house and built seven or eight snowmen as tall as people in the backyard, and even put clothes on the snowmen. Clothes.
He got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and almost went crazy because of the snowmen. Only then did he realize how stupid he was for thinking that Su Tai was exaggerating.
Ye hit Zhou Ran's arm angrily, "What's wrong with the child being naughty? Look at our child, his body and bones have become much stronger since he played with the second young master and the second young lady."
Zhou Ran also discovered this and could only show weakness and shut up.
At the same time, Shen Yi rode across the Daxun River and saw a series of long sheds built outside his villa in the distance. The tenant farmers on Zhuangzi and the villagers in Zhangjia Village were all working outside.
Fang Wei and several people were in charge of patrolling. As soon as they looked around, they saw Shen Yi's figure and hurriedly greeted him, "My boss, you are here!"
Shen Yi dismounted, tied the reins, and asked: "What's the situation now?"
Fang Wei frowned, "There are too many goods, and there is no place to set foot in the yard, so we can only Cleaning out step by step, you can see that we have dug a big hole in the ice, which is specially used to collect water and process sashimi.
And here, fifty cauldrons have been prepared, but some are still not enough. Madam said it will be busy for a while, and everyone is preparing to celebrate the New Year here. "
While speaking, Shen Yi was already here. When we walked to the gate of the yard, as Fang Wei said, there were mountains of seafood inside, leaving only a path leading to the warehouse for people to walk on.
He waved his hand and asked Fang Wei to continue working. He went in to look for Su Tai, and finally found Su Tai's figure at the end of the yard.
"Xiao Tai, what are you doing?"
Su Tai glanced at him in her busy schedule and continued working, "Hurry up and help me, I will explain to you when I finish the work later!"
Shen Yi Without saying a word, he took the tools in her hand and started working.
The couple worked until it was almost dark before letting those people leave.
A firework bloomed in the sky, reminding the two of them what night it was.
Shen Yi closed the courtyard door and mounted the horse with Su Tai in his arms. "The work is never finished. The children are still waiting for our reunion!"
Su Tai huddled in his arms and clung to him. back, nodding heavily.
Fireworks bloomed on the road they walked.
The couple just arrived at the entrance of the village and found many red lanterns hung in the village.
Those lanterns are all fixed with wood and will not sway even in the wind.
Under the illumination of lanterns, the village is as bright as day.
Many children wearing thick coats ran to the yard to set off firecrackers and play. Almost every household bought fireworks, and everyone took turns setting them off until dawn.
Shen Yi slowed down, and the couple walked around watching the lights, and unknowingly arrived at the door of their house.
The four children of his family were also playing in the yard. The gate of the yard was open, and three black dogs were standing there like door gods. Most people would not dare to step in after seeing it.
“Children, we are back!”
