Chinese New Year's Eve, eating Chinese New Year's Eve, of course, cannot be passed empty-handed, but the New Year's gift for the elderly was sent a week ago.

Each of the two elders had a cotton jacket, a pair of rabbit skin cotton shoes, ten yuan, and fifty catties of rice, which was more than double that of previous years.

Old man Jiang is a stinky old man, wearing a padded jacket and rabbit leather shoes early in the village to find an old man to talk, who asked about the new clothes on his body, he was busy and said helplessly: "Oh, it's not the second family, I told it, I have clothes with his mother, I have to make it for us, saying that we are old, we have worked hard all our lives, and we have to wear something good." As he spoke, he pretended to raise his feet unintentionally, and slapped off the invisible snow particles on the rabbit leather shoes, and the corners of the mouths of the old men in the village twitched, this old man Jiang really likes to show off too much.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by the Jiang family's big house, and after Yao Huazhi and Jiang's father discussed, they directly let Momo burst a spicy hare out, a whole hare, five pounds of meat, plus chili green onion dried potato chips, and a whole clay pot.

Yao Huazhi was generous and didn't put it out at all, just covered the grate, wrapped it in burlap and went away, and the big and small families were also busy.

When I arrived at the big house, there was laughter and laughter in the courtyard, and the people from the third and fourth rooms also arrived.

Yao Huazhi said hello to Grandpa Jiang, who was chatting in the yard, and entered the kitchen, and just two minutes after entering, he heard Ma Zhaodi's exclamation: "Hey, second sister-in-law, you are out of blood, this pot of rabbit meat, you can't eat it for three meals, why is this color so beautiful, hey, I'll taste it, this taste is so fragrant......" I heard Ma Zhaodi's voice crackling like a cannonball.

The men standing in the courtyard all poked their heads curiously, and Jiang Erhe explained with a smile: "The child fried the rabbit and brought it over to add vegetables, thinking that our family has a large population, so I fried the whole one!"

Old Man Jiang nodded and said, "The second daughter-in-law has always been a careful person!" As he spoke, he dusted off the non-existent dust on his new padded jacket.

The other three sons on the side are ashamed, their own family is not doing well this year, the second family is really dedicated this year, I have to talk to my mother-in-law when I go back, and look at the beginning of the spring to prepare some good things for my father, whether it is to make up for the body, or clothes, I have to behave well.

Old man Jiang secretly glanced at the expressions of the other three sons, and was very proud, he Jiang Old Man has not achieved anything in his life, but no matter what these four sons do outside, they are really filial to him and his mother-in-law!

This meal, eating lively, four cold and six hot, set up three tables, only to sit down, fortunately, the amount of dishes is large, especially the pot of rabbit meat, divided into three plates are full, which makes the second room family very face-saving.

On the man's table, the wine brought by Jiang Sancheng was also placed, and the old man Jiang was very happy, so he simply asked his daughter-in-law to bring another wine cup and fill it for several daughters-in-law in the family.

Pouring the wine, the old man Jiang began to speak: "This year, although our family has also had some small problems, but in general it has been smooth, the men, women and children in the family are healthy, I and your mother, also happy, I hope that this new year, our family will continue to carry forward the spirit of unity, if there is something in the family, whoever has the ability will help, they are all relatives of the family, do you hear?"

The men and women in the family all responded, and the old man was happy, and said to the old lady Jiang at the other table: "Child, what do you think you say?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled all of a sudden, and raised her glass embarrassedly: "Our family is neat and tidy, it's really good, this is the happiest thing for me and your father, next year, I hope that our daughters-in-law will continue to educate their children well, didn't the big leaders outside say, children are the hope of the motherland, I think, it is the hope of our family!"

As soon as he finished saying this, everyone applauded, and Old Man Jiang said happily: "Okay, what the old woman said is right, come and raise a glass!"

The men and women all drank happily.

Jiang Momo was a little moved, she had never spent the New Year in such a big family in her previous life, and for many years, she spent the New Year alone or in a tour group, not to mention the taste.

And Jiang Momo also felt at this time that the old saying is really reasonable, Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, and this old man and old lady of the Jiang family really have a hand in handling their own children.

This meal was eaten until nine o'clock in the evening, and there was a vigil first, but the two elders were old, and when they talked until ten o'clock, they arranged to go to bed.

Jiang Sancheng's family slept in Jiang Lao's house, and Jiang Sikui's family slept in Jiang Erhe's house.

Almost every year, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Sikui has to sleep at Jiang Erhe's house, so the innermost room in the west burned down three days ago, and the bedding eliminated at home was dismantled and washed and placed there, which is better than the new ones of ordinary people.

There was no entertainment in the countryside, so I simply ate some melon seed candy and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yao Huazhi according to the plan of the previous days, warmed the buns in the morning, cooked the baogu Zhenzi porridge, ate it with Jiang Sikui's family, and began to prepare lunch.

At noon, Jiang Momo and the three of them had already discussed the menu.

A large family, at least three table dishes, six hot dishes, four cold dishes, of which there must be a soup in the hot dish, four large meat dishes, a fish, a chicken, a stewed mutton, a braised pork, a vegetarian dish fried fungus eggs, it is also a small meat dish.

In the cold dish, a cold pork belly, a dried pigweed cold vermicelli, a boiled three shreds, carrots, white radishes and shredded potatoes.

Then there is steamed red dates in sugar water, which is a dessert cold dish invented by Jiang Momo, which is the second time it has been served, but it still makes a large family full of praise.

Only Jiang Yue'e was shocked and suspicious, many of the dishes here have a taste that only came from later generations, but they are even better than those from later generations, because the meat quality and seasonings have not been polluted, but this method is not something that can be made by the first generation.

This lunch made Li Guihua in the big house roll her eyes, not to mention the amount, the taste is better than her family, this second brother and sister, she really can't be a person, she is the eldest sister-in-law of the long house, why did this card go over her house?

How can she associate with other concubines in the future? How to establish the prestige of her sister-in-law, Li Guihua is angry, but she doesn't eat anything, the stewed wild goat meat is particularly soft and rotten, each table has a small tile pot, two pieces per person is not a problem, Li Guihua ate a large piece alone, the braised pork is not down the chopsticks to the bowl, and finally the shrimp skin seaweed soup that came up, she just poured down two bowls, and said that it was salty.

Grandma Jiang looked at it and rolled her eyes, blaming herself, she didn't choose a daughter-in-law for her eldest son at that time, she said that she had to look at the old sow to buy piglets, and she also had to look at her mother-in-law when she chose a daughter-in-law.
