Chapter 348: Chinese New Year's Eve

On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Canghai slept until more than seven o'clock before opening his eyes, this is not Canghai lazy, but now the big guys love the activity of sleeping lazy, get up early and make a meal for one person, waiting for everyone to get up and cook again, it is too troublesome. In addition, it was snowing heavily outside, and there was nothing to do after eating, so I had to run back to bed and lie down, so it was better to sleep until I was hungry and then get up.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't get up immediately, but he and Shi Wei were tired in bed until half past eight, and then they got up from the bed and began to prepare for cooking.

The meal of the Chinese New Year's Eve is not particular about breakfast and lunch except for dinner, you can eat anything, last night Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng proposed to cook white rice porridge, so the staple food this morning is white rice porridge, plus the fried oil cakes sent by the third aunt yesterday, as well as home-made fried small fish, steamed in the pot, with two small pickles is a meal.

Canghai had just entered the kitchen and saw that Ping An was already working. The boy was picking leeks in the kitchen, and the little leeks that had just been cut from the greenhouse were green and watery, and some of the leek leaves were still hanging with dewdrops.

The selection of leeks is to make dumplings at night, this kind of small leaf in the leek is not big, almost only half the height of the big leek sold in the vegetable market, and each leek has dead leaves, which need to be selected by hand one by one. Hard-to-choose small-leaf leeks are a good ingredient for making dumplings, with enough flavor, whether they are served with eggs or meat, they are the best stuffing ingredients for leek dumplings.

There are a lot of people in the Canghai family this year, so the demand for leeks is naturally large, of course, it is impossible to eat only one kind of dumplings for the New Year, and there must be other fillings, such as celery, horse vegetable filling, but these two fillings are also easy to make, and the dried horse vegetables have been flooded last night, and the celery goes directly to the greenhouse.

"Second brother, what do you say Wu Hui is doing at home now?" Ping'an saw Canghai walk into the house, looked up and asked.

Canghai smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's only been a few days since you left, you kid missed Wu Hui?"

Ping'an's face flushed, and he said after a while: "I just feel a little empty in her heart without her, as if something is missing all of a sudden."

"She'll be back after the New Year" Canghai walked to the side of the rice cabinet, picked up a small measuring device and began to scoop rice into the basin, scooped it four times and felt that it seemed to be a little worse, so he scooped it again.

Holding the basin filled with rice, I came to the side of the faucet and twisted it gently, and put the basin up to catch water and wash rice.

"Second brother!"

Ping'an just wanted to say something more, but when he saw that the curtain at the door was raised, Xu Xiaomin walked into the house and had to close his mouth.

Xu Xiaomin saw that Canghai was washing rice, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Canghai, is there anything I can help with?"

Canghai smiled: "Godmother, just rest well, there are not many things to do this morning, and white rice porridge or something is easy to boil."

Canghai is telling the truth, in the past, every morning was either hand-rolled noodles or something messy, every breakfast Canghai and Shi Wei had to work for an hour or two, today this white porridge or something is relatively too pediatric.

"I'm almost ten hours asleep, and if I sleep again, everyone will be wasted, so it's better to get up and find something to do," Xu Xiaomin said.

Xu Xiaomin is a little older now, and his sleep is a little bad, five or six hours a day, and he can sleep for seven or eight hours every three or five hours, although he sometimes makes up for sleep at noon, but in general, he still feels that his body is starting to decline.

I slept twice in Canghai here, I slept until dawn every day, and I fell asleep not long after lying on the bed as if I had been cast a spell by someone, and nearly ten hours of sleep made Xu Xiaomin often open his eyes before seven o'clock, this time I opened my eyes, I got up, I didn't, I didn't get up, I didn't get up and I had nothing to do in bed, I said to go outside, it was snowing outside, and it was finally getting up in Canghai, how could Xu Xiaomin be willing to go back to the house.

Seeing that Canghai didn't send work, Xu Xiaomin simply pulled a small bench and sat next to Ping'an, helping Ping'an choose leeks.

"Where's the godfather?" asked Canghai.

Xu Xiaomin listened and replied: "He, he is like a fish in water here, every day he either plays chess with a group of old men or gathers around to listen to books and talk about ancient times, he only comes back from the east of the village at ten o'clock, and now he sleeps like a dead pig, and he snores very much!"

Saying this, but in his heart he is very happy, Qi Feng has such a big career and worries all day long, the sleep time is less than Xu Xiaomin, and the quality of sleep is also poor, now when he comes here, he sleeps for two nights and finds that every day when he lies down and opens his eyes, it is seven or eight hours of sleep, and when he sleeps well, his mood will naturally improve, so in the past two days, Qi Feng is smiling, and the whole person looks full of energy, as if he is five or six years younger.

As soon as the spirit came up, Qi Feng didn't have to think about the company's affairs, so he and Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng all day long together to find a group of old men in the village to play poker and chess.

"It's good to sleep well, I'm afraid that my godfather is a little unsuitable for the first time," Canghai said with a smile.

Xu Xiaomin said: "He is too adaptable, I suspect that he is reluctant to go."

Canghai smiled and said: "I am reluctant to go, I will tell the village at the beginning of spring next year, your old couple is also here to punch the kiln, if you want to come over and live for two days, you will feel more at home when you make the kiln."

"Don't say it, I really want to dig a hole in the kiln here to live," Xu Xiaomin said.

"Then you go back and talk to your godfather, and when the spring comes, the soil will not be so hard, and you will open a kiln with Wen Yi's family," Canghai said.

Now Sijiaping Village is full of less than 100 people, according to the family is only a dozen or so, this is still to dismantle everyone into a small family to count, and the surrounding is inaccessible, not to mention one or two more kilns, even if there are ten or eight more, there is not a third of the normal village.

While talking about Canghai, he motioned for peace to come over and light the fire.

Ping'an clapped his hands when he saw it, sat directly on the back of the stove, quickly picked up a wheat pole and bent the head and tail like this, lit the fire with a lighter and put the wheat straw into the stove, and then skimmed some small branches into it, waited for the small branches to almost burn, and finally split the firewood.

Canghai poured the rice into the pot, added a few scoops of water, brushed the bamboo curtain, put it on the pot, and then put the cake to be steamed, fried fish or something on the curtain, and covered the pot.

Everything was fine, the curtain was lifted again, and Fang Wu, the kid, walked in.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Fang Wu saw that Xu Xiaomin was there, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth to work, obviously preparing to start the mother-in-law route.

"Let's take care of the leeks!" Canghai stretched out his finger.

Fang Wu saw that it was exactly what I wanted, and immediately sat down on the small stool where he was sitting peacefully, grabbed a handful of leeks and began to sort them out.

To say that Xu Xiaomin and Qi Feng's attitude towards Fang Wu, Canghai secretly mentioned it and nodded straightly, the two of them were like peace to Fang Wu, there was a certain distance and they did not lose their affection, as if they didn't know about Fang Wu's pursuit of their daughter, and showed their attitude, that is, they were not ready to meddle in the affairs of Fang Wu and their daughter.

Fang Wu didn't know what he was thinking, but Canghai knew that this already represented a kind of acquiescence between the two: As long as you have the ability to catch up with my daughter, then we have no opinion.

This attitude is very open-minded, not like many Chinese-style parents, interference in the transition of their children's marriage, what is the right thing to do, etc., is not something they consider at all, and the requirements of the two of them for their future son-in-law, then there is only one that can be good to their daughters.

"Auntie, did you sleep well last night?" Fang Wu took care of two leeks and turned on the sycophant mode.

Xu Xiaomin said with a smile: "Thank you, I slept well, I slept well every day for the past two days."

"That's good!By the way, the snow outside has stopped today, I heard Qi Yue say that there are a lot of fun things here, if you have time to go out with your uncle, skiing or something, or go fishing on the river with Qu Bo and Xu Bo or something......," Fang Wu said.

Canghai used to think that Fang Wu's kid was a stuffy gourd, where did he think that when he met his mother-in-law, this little mouth talked endlessly.

Xu Xiaomin smiled when he heard this: "Where can I play that!"

Canghai listened to the interface and said: "Why don't you go skiing, you don't need to learn much, just take a small climbing plow, sit on the slope, and naturally slide down."

Xu Xiaomin really doesn't have anything to talk about here, Shi Wei is too young, the mother-in-law in the village has no common language with her, the mother-in-law in the village can make a shoe or something together, Xu Xiaomin can't, one is the wife of a rich family who lives in a villa in the city, and the other is a peasant woman in the village who really can't find any topic to talk about, and after a few polite sentences, she can only talk awkwardly, which is really boring.

"Let's talk about it" Xu Xiaomin mainly used to open books to pass the time in the past two days, she also likes to read such activities, sit by the large floor-to-ceiling window in the room, put a cup of hot tea on the small pestle next to her, turn on a good book, and when she is tired of reading, she raises her head and lets her eyes shine through the window, and she is happy to take a look at the surrounding snow. Because the location of Sijiaping Village is higher, at a glance, the sky and the earth are vast, and the magnificent scenery of the vast sky and the wide earth is not comparable to the devil.

Just wanted to say a word, Canghai turned his head and found that the lid of the pot was hot, so he said to Ping'an: "Let's have a small fire, don't use a big fire, just simmer for a while, go and call Qu Bo and Xu Bo to come over, and when they get up, this meal should be eaten."

When Fang Wu heard this, he said, "I'll go!"

Canghai nodded after hearing this, and then instructed: "Don't knock on the door outside, listen with your ears, if the two of them get up, you call them over for dinner, if you don't get up, don't call the door, these two old men are very angry when they get up, if you wake them up, it is equivalent to waking up the two old lions, and it is strange if you tear them apart."

Fang Wu hummed when he heard this, then washed his hands, wiped them with a dry towel and went out.

"Are the two of them so interesting?" asked Xu Xiaomin with a smile.

Canghai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The two old men pay the most attention to this, they have to sleep until they open their eyes naturally, and they will lose their temper when they are woken up by anyone!"

Canghai didn't understand that the reason why the two old men wanted to come to Sijiaping was the main reason for the sleeping problem, not because they had insomnia, and like the two old men at this age, they were much more sensitive to the surrounding situation, sleeping for eight hours in the big city, they could last for half a day, and they had to take a small nap at noon, and they slept for eight or nine hours here in Sijiaping, and their spirits could be maintained well throughout the day, and the whole body was full of refreshment, otherwise as for the genius who had just left, the two old men came over again. People like them still lack quiet cottages in the city?

Came to Sijiaping, the two old men were particularly concerned about sleeping, unless it was a fire in the house, who woke them up, they were angry at whom, after two fires at the followers before, the whole village knew the problem of the two old men, so no one called them when they were sleeping.

In short, the sky is big, and it is the biggest sleep for the two old men!
