Chapter 426 New Year’s Eve Dinner
“Uncle, aunt!”
Qin Huairu’s voice came from the door, and Yi Zhonghai, who had returned to normal, quickly opened the door.
"Huairu, what's the matter?"
"Master, this is just the Chinese New Year. I always bothered you to talk to Auntie before. I told Zhuzi that I would come to my house this year. Come with me.”
Standing at the door, Qin Huairu's smiling face became rounded, and Yi Zhonghai also smiled as he stared at her.
"Okay, we'll be there in a moment."
"Okay, I'll go back and make dumplings."
After Qin Huairu left, Yi Zhonghai looked at Shazhu's house again , showing a smile.
……
Yangjiazhuang, brigade headquarters.
Pots were lit, firewood crackled, tables were put together, and long benches were placed on both sides of the tables. The old man sat with a pipe in his hand, watching the lively scene in front of him.
Little daughters-in-law wearing big flowered jackets gathered together, talking about so-and-so having a baby soon; busy women were fiddling with the water in the pot, talking about whether they should take it out of the pot; The two big men chatted about everything, as if they were giving advice on the country.
Yang Xiaotao was among a group of women, holding a spoon in his hand and constantly stir-frying the large intestines in the pot. He was good at this.
Ran Qiuye was with a group of young daughters-in-law. These young daughters-in-law who had just married into the village knew that Yangjiazhuang was better off than their village before they married, but they did not expect that they would kill pigs during the Chinese New Year, and there was such a thing A sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner is simply like the life of a landlord's family.
Like Ran Qiuye, they are all looking forward to a better life.
Papa
The running children took bamboo sticks and kept throwing them into the bonfire outside, and then there was the sound of burning. "Xiao Tao, where did you learn this skill?"
Yang Dazhuang's wife smelled the aroma in the pot and asked involuntarily. Several women on the side also pricked up their ears.
“That’s right, the food you cook is more delicious than those of us who sit around the pot all day long. There must be some secret.”
"There's no teaching on this. I figured it out myself."
"Besides, it's not surprising that many of the chefs are men now."
Yang Xiaotao said perfunctorily. It can't be said that it was given by the system. I guess they didn't know what the system was.
The women were all disappointed, but they looked at the pot without blinking, remembering Yang Xiaotao's every step.
In the pot next to you, pieces of pork the size of your finger belly are tumbling in the pot, water pork, and pieces of cabbage leaves inside.
In the distance, two pots were steaming, and pig bones were thrown in to make soup.
The whole yard is filled with the smell of meat.
Mr. Yang and others got together again. The wood and bamboo mentioned by Yang Xiaotao inspired them. The waterway does not have to be fixed. It can be disassembled anytime and anywhere with bamboo sections. From this point of view, it seems that bamboo is better.
A few people quickly reached an agreement, and then began to discuss where to get so much bamboo. After all, land is being reclaimed these days, and the bamboo forest in the village alone is not suitable for much.
Finally, Yang Dazhuang thought of Fatty Ding. This guy was the director of the Grain Institute. He had a wide path and must have a way.
I planned to ask this guy for help after the New Year.
“It’s out of the pot.”
Yang Xiaotao put the large intestine into a large basin with a spoon, and someone immediately took the basin away.
"Next, fried pig blood."
Soon, pieces of dark red pig blood were brought over, and the pan was brushed with oil.
Wow
When the pig blood is put into the pot, there is another burst of aroma.
"Next."
Dang Dang Dang
In the eyes of everyone, Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang rang the bell together. As the bell rang at twelve o'clock, the time Enter the new year.
Finally everyone sat back down.
The men gather together and the women sit at the same table.
The elders are in the front, and the juniors are in the back.
Men drink wine and women drink tea.
Children are not counted, so take advantage of any loopholes.
The soup in the pot was still boiling, but it was no match for the lively crowd.
Smelling the aroma in the basin and the tempting pieces of meat under the light, I couldn't help but swallow saliva in my stomach.
However, everyone still suppressed their inner desires and looked to the front, where the oldest person in the village sat.
Mr. Yang and his brother were sitting together. On the table were cooked pieces of meat. Several dishes were also easy to chew. In addition, there were Erhe noodles and steamed buns. And of course a few salted duck eggs.
In front of each of them was a black bowl filled with white wine.
"Come, let's celebrate the New Year together."
Mr. Yang picked up the wine bowl, and the juniors below also stood up. The men held the wine bowls, and the women held cups with water in them.
Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang were together. There was no meat on the table, just a bowl of bones, then Erhe noodles, steamed buns, and stick pancakes.
Everyone holds a large bowl of broth with green vegetables floating on it.
At this time, it’s a competition for teeth. Whoever has good teeth will chew bones and eat meat, and whoever has bad teeth will drink soup.
The tables around are all young and strong men, and they naturally behave boldly when drinking.
After taking this sip, there was no shortage of wine in the bowl.
There is no way, there are too many people, after dividing it up, each person only has two taels of wine.
Be careful.
As the elders moved their chopsticks, everyone below started eating.
It’s Chinese New Year tonight, so I can eat enough.
Ran Qiuye sat with several pregnant women in the village, and they all had a common topic, discussing how to raise children in the future and what to pay attention to.
The food on their table is very exquisite, including not only Yang Xiaotao’s pork belly and pig intestines, but also specially prepared salted duck eggs and apples.
These are all contributed by Ran Qiuye, and the whole village can't stop praising them.
On the other side, women also gathered together, eating and drinking.
Some elderly people are obviously smiling, but they always feel like they are crying.
Tears of satisfaction.
"Dad, this must be done as soon as possible."
Xu Damao picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.
I returned to the Siheyuan today. Seeing the scene, I had no intention of celebrating the New Year in the Siheyuan, so I took the pork and money to buy wine and walked all the way back to the village.
After walking all the way, we didn't get home until dark.
The soles of my tired feet ached.
At this time, Xu Damao missed his bicycle very much. If you were still a projectionist, you would naturally have a bicycle.
“Do it, do it, can this be done if you just say it can be done?”
Xu's father clapped his chopsticks angrily. If he hadn't just had a son who was looking forward to his retirement, he would have hit him with a stick.
“Old man, it’s time to celebrate the Chinese New Year.”
Xu’s mother persuaded and looked at Xu Damao at the same time, “Da Mao, there’s nothing we can do about this.”
"There is someone above this person who is looking for connections. The original Li Huaide has been transferred again. Who can we find?"
After hearing this, Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and drank.
"Da Mao, what do you think about your daughter-in-law?"
After hearing this, Xu Damao drank another drink, "What do you think about it? Let's find it."
"Anyway, let's find it. "You are young and you are not afraid of not being able to find her."
Xu Damao didn't care. It would be better to get divorced. In the past, he would secretly go to the countryside to find a widow. Now that he is single, even if he is discovered, it is a normal relationship. save trouble.
It’s just that going to the countryside is the key.
If time goes by, will those lonely little widows get involved with the new projectionist?
Wouldn’t that mean that I was going to be cuckolded again?
Huh? Why again?
Xu Damao thought of Lou Xiao'e and Yang Xiaotao, "I must take that bitch back."
"Dad, don't worry about this, I will do it myself."
With a fierce look in his eyes, Xu Damao placed the wine glass heavily on the table. At this moment, he looked very much like Xu's father back then.
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Father Xu nodded gently. This child, after all, learns from every experience.
Siheyuan, Jia’s house.
One table of food, one table of people.
The old man and his mother sat on either side of the deaf old woman. Outside was Qin Huairu, Silly Zhu, and the remaining two children.
“This cabbage is made by Huairu at first glance.”
The uncle pointed at the cabbage and stir-fried meat and said with a smile. Silly Zhu heard this and said, “Master, you are like this How can you tell?”
“Oh, this aunt said, in our courtyard Huai Ru is very meticulous in her work. She picked the cabbage cleanly and cut it evenly, but she cut it evenly along the chopsticks. It would have been thrown into the swill bucket if she had left it alone."
The whole family was filled with laughter, and the deaf old lady even opened her toothless mouth and pointed at Silly Pillar for her life.
"Old lady, eat a clove of garlic to whet your appetite."
Silly Zhu held the garlic, but Qin Huairu snatched it away, "Old lady, you have bad teeth. You are such a bad person."
There was laughter again, and Shazhu yelled, "I cooked a table of dishes together, and you don't want to see them inside or outside."
Qin Huairu took a knife and smashed the garlic, put it in a bowl and poured soy sauce on it, "Eat you."
< br>“Yes, it’s up to you.”
The eldest mother and the first uncle looked at each other, and the deaf old lady even smiled.
The room was peaceful.
In the hospital, Mrs. Jia and Zhang finished eating the dumplings sent by Silly Zhu. She felt uncomfortable mentally. She was in the hospital for the Chinese New Year. Alas.
Looking at the son beside him, he didn’t know whether he was asleep or unconscious.
If you don’t say anything, you are like a useless person.
Alas.
Picking up Jia Dongxu’s share of dumplings, Jia Zhang stretched out her hand.
One night passed, and in the new year, the sun came and illuminated the future.
Yang Xiaotao woke up, stretched out his hand and felt the familiar outline, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Picked up the watch and looked at it, it was half past six in the morning.
This year has gone by so fast.
Last night, the whole village went into battle together and ate up all the sugar in the pot, which was a hundred pounds of pork, which was an eye-opener for Yang Xiaotao.
Everyone looked dry and thin, but when they ate, they drank three bowls of broth and continued to chew on two pancakes. Even he was shocked by the amount of food.
Of course, his appetite also shocked the people in the village.
One person is worth three.
My stomach is still a little full after eating.
After finally cleaning up, it was almost two o'clock. Everyone brought their things, put out the fire, and left the pots and dishes to be cleaned tomorrow, and everyone went back to their homes.
However, the men who had eaten and drank enough tonight were obviously full of energy. It can be expected that there will be more newborns in the village in the coming year.
Looking at the dawn outside, there was not much movement. I guess everyone in the village was hugging their wives on the kang.
Yang Xiaotao was no exception, reaching out and hugging Ran Qiuye from behind.
It's as warm and soft as jade, comfortable to hold.
Ran Qiuye, who was sleeping, lazily raised his hand, "Don't move, sleep for a while."
Yang Xiaotao stopped when he was about to touch the little guy, when a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. .
Ding!
What's going on?
Does the system also give out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?
Yang Xiaotao quickly checked.
咻咻
"Xiaowei?"
A familiar voice came to his ears, Yang Xiaotao immediately became excited, and then he felt a coldness in his arms, and a group of emerald green gradually appeared, After a while, Xiao Wei's figure was revealed.
Xiaowei's cry immediately came to mind.
"Boom!"
There was joy in the voice, like bright sunshine shining on his body. Yang Xiaotao felt his body warm, and the feeling of fullness disappeared unexpectedly, and he felt full of energy.
Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment and immediately checked the properties panel.
