Chapter 213: New Year's Goods
Zhou Heng looked at Wang Rui's expression, remembered a joke, and immediately asked him with a smile: "Wang Rui, do you know why your parents had a second child after giving birth to you?"
Wang Rui asked, "Yes, why? Because I'm too naughty?"
Zhou Heng laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I thought that you were too weak and would be bullied, and I wanted to give you a younger brother to help you get ahead, right?" ”
Of course, Wang Rui will not admit that he is weak, but if this is really the reason, it means that his parents are still warm-hearted and he is still his own!
So, he asked Zhou Ying: "Mom, is this so?"
Zhou Ying also smiled, not knowing why her brother said this, so she said, "You ask your uncle to go." ”
Zhou Heng said seriously: "Of course that's the case." You don't want to think about it, Wu Dalang is so weak, his father and mother immediately gave birth to a second child, gave birth to a younger brother to him, and always protected him. Isn't it?"
When Wang Rui heard this, he knew that he had been tricked by his uncle, and chased after him to seek justice.
Zhou Heng took all his things and left with a smile. The people behind also laughed.
Wang Siqi didn't know what everyone was laughing at, anyway, she was happy to see it, and she laughed with everyone.
Zhou Heng asked everyone: "Why don't you have dinner here, rest for another night, and go back tomorrow?"
It's more than four o'clock in the afternoon, if you rush back, it's okay, but you will walk at night, and it's better to go tomorrow if you're not in a hurry.
Zhou Faqiang saw that so many people, how much does it cost to eat and stay in the provincial capital for one night? It's not good to go back to sleep in the bed at home!
But then again, this trip with the outing, although I didn't go to many places, but I entered the TV station as an audience, and I also gained a lot of knowledge, and this time it was enough to blow for half a year.
Last time, Zhou Hengguang showed his face on the news, which made the whole village envious of him, and this time he also drove to the TV station to accept interviews with others and participate in the show.
I don't know what the people in the village will envy.
Happy is happy, but he is reluctant to spend money - the habit of saving money has been carved into his bones, and no matter how much money he has on hand now, he still thinks that he can't spend what he shouldn't spend.
In the end, Zhou Heng decided to stay for another night and leave tomorrow morning.
Actually, I should have done more shopping today.
There are too many people, and they have different hobbies, so it's too restrictive to go together, so just divide into several teams and go to their own places.
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Zhou Heng bought a lot of New Year's goods for his family, eating and drinking, Zhou Ying rarely went shopping with his father, and quickly took the opportunity to let him try on some clothes and buy new clothes for his parents for the New Year.
In this regard, being a son is always less caring than a daughter.
Zhou Faqiang didn't want it, saying that he only bought new clothes last year, why did he buy it again this year, wasting money. The clothes from the previous year were still new.
He was reluctant to let his daughter spend money, so he pushed back.
Wang Rui came up and said, "Mom, grandpa doesn't want it, you buy it for me." I just saw a tracksuit and it's on sale. ”
Zhou Ying ignored him and said, "You will be noisy, I bought it for you last time, and it has only been a few days? ”
Wang Rui suddenly covered his heart, looking pierced.
As they strolled, Wang Siqi followed Jiang Xiaoxuan to eat and drink, and when he saw something delicious and delicious, he bought and bought!
They don't hang out with them, it's too boring.
Seeing that there were beautiful children's clothes for sale, she also bought a few sets for her, and she really loved this cute little girl.
After Wang Siqi put on her new clothes, she was so happy, she quietly walked to Jiang Xiaoxuan's side, and then beckoned her to squat down.
Then, she reached out and put her arms around her neck and kissed her sweetly on the face.
Jiang Xiaoxuan was also happy for a while, and bought her a small silver crown, spoiling her like a little princess.
After shopping, Zhou Heng invited everyone to have a buffet, mainly because there are many people, and it is difficult to decide what to eat, so just eat a buffet, and eat whatever you like.
However, Hu Jinhua and the others didn't have dinner with them, they are now a romantic world for two, and they finally went out on such a long trip, of course they have to be romantic.
The next day, after breakfast, they rushed home with large bags and small bags.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that almost all the people in the village had come out - they saw Zhou Heng and their car coming back from a distance, so they came out to greet them.
Last time, I only saw him on Press TV, but this time I was amazing, and I drove directly to the provincial TV station for an interview.
Their village is going to be on TV again!
It's amazing!
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, many young people have returned to the village, but there are no longer as few people and no lively atmosphere as usual.
Now they are busy preparing for the New Year, and they all have time to join in the fun.
Zhou Heng didn't pay attention to it and wanted to drive home directly, but when he saw this battle, it was not easy to go back directly.
He lowered the window and greeted the people. These people are so welcoming.
Zhou Faqiang had already prepared, and asked his son to buy a lot of candy last night, so he took it out at this time and sent it to the big guy, making everyone happy.
After all, it's a rare thing.
Zhou Heng said with a smile: "I couldn't have asked me to buy more candy yesterday, it turned out to be here." ”
He was still thinking that no one in the family loved candy, how much could the two children eat, and they didn't need to buy so much even during the Chinese New Year.
Hehe, it's still Daddy who thinks thoughtfully and anticipates things like a god.
Zhou Faqiang got out of the car with the sugar bag and chatted warmly with the people in the village, and Zhou Heng got the opportunity to drive the car back.
Jiang Xiaoxuan laughed at him: "Yo, you have become a celebrity in the village!"
Zhou Heng didn't care at all, and said proudly: "Of course! We are people who have been to the provincial capital! ”
This kind of serious braggadocio made Jiang Xiaoxuan laugh, and then hammered him.
When I got home, it was lively, Zhou Ying's family was here, how could there be any idleness.
When the big yellow dog heard Zhou Heng's voice, he immediately rushed up to greet him with his tail wagging happily. As a result, as soon as he saw Wang Rui, he immediately bypassed it.
was so angry that Wang Rui chased the dog and barked loudly "wow" in its ear.
Wang Siqi rushed into the yard delicately, and the milk in his mouth screamed "Grandma, grandma", which was sweet.
In the yard, Li Yunlian was busy with New Year's goods at this time, and when she heard the child shouting "grandma, grandma", she immediately smiled and agreed.
I'm looking forward to these two.
"Come and eat, is it cold?" she asked cheerfully.
The lunch has already been prepared, and I know that they will come back at this time, so I deliberately cooked the dishes just now, and I will wait for them to come back.
Zhou Ying helped take down the things in the car, and then took out the clothes she bought for her and handed them to her.
Li Yunlian began to complain to her: "Why did you buy it for us again? Listen to me, don't buy it again next year, my clothes are all new, and I won't have a chance to wear them......"
"Then why don't you usually wear it, you buy it all, why don't you wear it?" Zhou Ying also complained to her.
Zhou Heng also helped: "Mom, my sister bought it for you, you can wear it, don't wear it white, right?"
Wang Siqi saw that the adults were talking separately, ignoring her, she tried to answer several times but didn't find a chance, so anxious that she walked around in the middle of the crowd, and then said loudly: "Grandma, I have new clothes, my aunt bought them for me." ”
The little one has to find a presence for himself.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ying was suddenly a little embarrassed, she occasionally mentioned to the child that this aunt would be called aunt in the future, but she didn't expect the child to shout out now.
She hurriedly glanced at Jiang Xiaoxuan, afraid that she would be angry when she heard it, but seeing that she just looked to the side shyly, she didn't mean to object, so she didn't apologize for the child at the first time.
She thought to herself, it would be good to have this childlike unintentional mistake, and pierce the window paper, but things would be easier to discuss.
Anyway, it's not going to be a matter of time. As an elder sister, she is always anxious to worry about her brother's marriage, and it doesn't matter if she is a harlequin.
So she asked Wang Siqi: "Then have you thanked your aunt?"
Wang Siqi didn't know that the old lady was so anxious that she was sweating just now, for fear that she would provoke her future brother-in-law and make trouble for her younger brother.
She nodded a little proudly: "I thank my aunt, and I kissed her." ”
A small turmoil, just such a faint past-Zhou Heng didn't think about it so much at all, in his opinion, isn't it natural to call his aunt?
Although he has not proposed to her yet, it is a sure thing, and it will not change.
After everything was taken off the car, Li Yunlian urged them again: "Eat lunch quickly, wash your hands quickly, the weather is cold, and the food will be cold after a while." ”
Drove a bunch of them to eat.
Then seeing that Zhou Faqiang hadn't come back yet, after asking Zhou Heng what was going on, he muttered to him again: "Your dad is like this, whoever started his family with him has been talking there, and he doesn't know how to go home, look at it, how long has it been, and how many words have been finished." ”
Although he muttered, he was mainly afraid that he would come back late and have to eat cold dishes.
Fortunately, he was about to go out and call him, and he came back, with an irrepressible smile on his face.
I just chatted with the people in the village, and everyone praised his son for a while, so of course I was happy.
Li Yunlian teased him: "Look at your father, after going to the provincial capital, the corners of his mouth are going to the sky, as if no one else has been there." ”
The family immediately went to eat lunch.
The weather is cold, eat hot and warm some.
Wang Rui walked out with a bowl and gnawed on oily pork ribs, and asked, "Grandma, why don't you eat it?"
"Grandma has eaten, you came back late, I have eaten with them. Li Yunlian replied, she was still busy with some things at hand.
In the courtyard, there is a bamboo strip utensil for drying things, and she is putting the freshly steamed glutinous rice on it to dry.
This is prepared for making glutinous rice paste. After drying like this, it is ground into flour and can be stored for a long time. Usually use boiling water to rinse, add some sugar or honey, delicious and hungry.
In her words: In the past, the landlord's wife only had this kind of food, which was very precious, and the poor only had to smell it, but now ordinary people do not eat it rarely.
In the past, if the milk baby was not enough, he would eat this glutinous rice paste, and the child could be raised for nothing.
In her opinion, how can the fancy children's snacks sold outside now compare to these! This one is clean, nutritious, and delicious, how good.
Half of the steamed glutinous rice is dried and the other half has other uses, which can be made into a delicacy similar to rice cakes.
This is not the kind of rice cake that people are commonly used to, and the way of eating it is completely different.
It is soaked in glutinous rice overnight, steamed, then pureed, then kneaded into long strips, shaped and cut into slices like potato chips, and then fried in a pot with river sand.
When stir-fried, it will swell a little bit, and the burnt flavor is crispy and crispy, with the aroma of glutinous rice, which makes people drool just thinking about it, which is really indescribable.
Stir-fried New Year's goods with river sand are very popular in this area, fried peanuts, fried chestnuts, fried rice, fried popcorn, etc., which have a unique flavor.
This kind of New Year's goods is easy to say, but cumbersome to do, plus in the past New Year, Zhou Heng only stayed at home for a few days, and there was no one to eat, Li Yunlian hadn't done this kind of thing for two years - now the New Year, life is getting simpler and more simple and ordinary.
Maybe there are fewer New Year's goods, and the New Year's flavor will fade, right?
But this year, there were people in the family to eat, so she happily started doing this.
There is so much glutinous rice steamed at one time, so dry some more and make some glutinous rice paste, so as not to spend twice.
