When the sun had set and it was completely dark, it was time that all the men in the village had dreamed of.

Don't think about it, just look at the cards.

At present, there is no electricity in this village.

I can't watch the Spring Festival Gala, so I can only get together in the evening to watch two cards and kill time.

Just look at these two small cards, lose two or three cents.

The men of every family were still strictly controlled by the women, and they were not allowed to go.

Only, the ban was lifted on the thirtieth night of the New Year, so the old men of the family took five or six cents after eating and quickly found someone to form a group to see the small cards.

Zhou Shujie's grandfather and uncle love to play cards.

Grandpa is better, no one cares about him, he can play two games every time.

Uncle can't do it, he is very strict with his uncle, and he can only play twice a year during the New Year.

On days like today, Uncle Zhou's family gathers a lot of people.

There were two candles lit on the table, and the four of them sat there playing with small signs, and they gathered around to watch the excitement.

Aunt Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou prepared some boiled water and fried hazelnuts or something, and brought them up for these people to eat and drink.

Such a lively nightlife has nothing to do with Zhou Shujie now.

When she wasn't married before, she also loved the excitement of the two days of the New Year.

Although Zhou Shujie can't join in the fun now, there are bursts of laughter in her house.

It turned out that Zhou Shujie was playing games with his hands in the light of candles, turning into a rabbit for a while and a pigeon for a while. After a while, it turned into a dog again, accompanied by Wangwang, meowing animal meows, making the child and the mother-in-law giggle with laughter.

I laughed until seven or eight o'clock, which is also the time to go to bed every day.

At this time, the child and the mother-in-law are sleepy.

Zhou Shujie spread a futon on the kang, let her mother-in-law and children fall asleep first, and then call her mother-in-law and them when they had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When the child and mother-in-law fell asleep, in addition to the sound of steady breathing, all that was left in the room was the crackling of candles to accompany Zhou Shujie to keep vigil.

She sat there, thinking about it.

Thinking about it in a mess, his hands were not idle, he took a few dried chili peppers and followed them with a rice bowl. Take scissors and chop them up, which is prepared for a while to fry the chili oil.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, I thought of the scene at home during the New Year in the future life.

At that time, the rank of the pillar had risen to a high level, and there were more nannies and drivers in the family.

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner or something, just move your mouth to say what you want to eat, and leave the rest to the nanny.

When you do New Year's goods, you just tell the driver what you want to buy, and someone will buy it for you.

Although everything is convenient and you have everything, you can no longer feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

The family just sat there, eating a meal quietly and watching a Spring Festival gala.

It may also be because her husband and son are both serving in the army, and they are usually more serious people.

And the daughter-in-law is also a high-educated person with her own job.

Only Zhou Shujie herself is an authentic village woman, and no one in her family has a common language with her.

Now that Zhou Shujie thinks of life at that time, he still feels depressed in his heart.

When her son married her daughter-in-law, she was also excited and wanted to get along with her daughter-in-law, but after getting along, she realized that the two of them couldn't get along at all.

When the little grandson was born, Zhou Shujie also excitedly revolved around the little grandson every day.

But because her daughter-in-law is the only daughter in the family, she often puts the child in her parents' house when she is out of confinement, and Zhou Shujie rarely has the opportunity to hold her grandson.

In my last life, I saw other people's daughters so caring, and every time I saw it, I regretted it in my heart.

Now it's okay, Zhou Shujie, look at the sleeping daughter.

I thought: "This time I will protect you well and let my little padded jacket grow up healthy." ”

In this way, the time came to nine o'clock.

And now comes the main event.

When! When! When! Party! That is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!

When the author was a child, he listened to the book review and listened to "Yanwang Sweeping the North" told by Teacher Shan Tianfang.

There is a passage used to describe the scene where the cook cooks.

I find it particularly interesting, so I'm writing it for all of you here.

: Burn the fire with your feet, knead the dough with your hands, and rub garlic on your arms.

The eyes look at the fire, and the nose smells salty.

The big spoon is fried, the small spoon is bumpy, and it is smoking......

There's only so much I remember, and I'll forget if I'm there.

Let's get down to business!

Although Zhou Shujie can't be like the top chef described above, then she can do things in a good way.

The things that need to be used are basically packed up during the day, and now they just need to start the fire.

The stove pit is ignited, put more oil in the pot, wait for the oil to boil about (yao read three sounds) to come out, fry a bowl of chili oil, and then put the blanched chicken pieces and lion's mane mushrooms together in the pot and keep stir-frying and coloring.

When it was fried for eighty or ninety points, it was put into a casserole by Zhou Shujie, poured boiling water from the kettle into the casserole, and carried it to the stove in the house, letting it boil slowly.

The big pot in the outhouse continued to put oil, and after the green onion was fried, the rabbit meat was poured into the pot to make the "dry fried spicy rabbit meat", which was actually spicy rabbit meat, without hemp, because Zhou Shujie didn't buy the pepper.

The rabbit meat is blanched in advance, so you don't need to put water to stew, you can just fry it dry.

When it is almost cooked, throw the dried chili peppers prepared in advance into the pot and then stir-fry, stir-fry the spicy flavor, put some monosodium glutamate and stir-fry twice, put it out of the pot and put it on the plate, and use a large basin to buckle it on the pot table.

In this way, it will still be warm when you eat it for a while.

Next is the cod stew, which is the last stew, brush the pot and stew the cod.

Zhou Shujie also came to the door and took care of the cut cold dishes.

It took another half an hour to wrap out fifty dumplings.

When the fish is ready, put it on the pot and buckle it with the rabbit meat.

Zhou Shujie added four scoops of water to the cleaned pot, put firewood on the bottom of the pot, and when it boiled, you could cook dumplings.

When he was done, he went into the house, looked at the casserole on the stove, flipped the chicken up and down with chopsticks, closed the lid, and let it continue to be on.

Zhou Shujie raised her hand and glanced at the time, it was already half past eleven in the middle of the night, and it was almost time for the two children to breastfeed every night.

She walked along the edge of the aisle, reached out to touch the child's feet, and touched the child's hands, and was poked by her like this, and the two children who were about to wake up woke up with a chirp.

Zhou Shujie picked them up first and gave them a soak of urine.

I didn't rush to feed them after peeing, because they had to fall asleep as soon as they fed.

I threw a warm towel into the washbasin and wiped their hands and faces.

The two children immediately became energetic, and even their eyes widened.

At this time, Zhou Shujie smiled, put them on the kang, and let them play by themselves.

Walked up to her mother-in-law and shouted softly: "Mother, mother, it's time to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, eat delicious meat!"

"Well, oh!" Hearing Zhou Shujie's scream, the mother-in-law woke up in a daze.

During the day today, when Zhou Shujie was cleaning up the meat, her mother-in-law saw it and asked her when she would eat it.

Zhou Shujie told her that she would eat it at Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the middle of the night.

So this time Zhou Shujie called her mother-in-law, she woke up very quickly, and she was still thinking about eating meat!

Seeing that the mother-in-law and the child have woken up, the pot in the field has also been boiled.

Zhou Shujie went to cook dumplings.

The dumplings were boiled here, and the other side was put on the table, and the finished dishes were served in the same way.

Casserole, she didn't dare to go up.

I was afraid that it would burn the child and my mother-in-law, so I let it sit on the stove, but I took a bowl of chicken soup for the child and put it aside to dry, and made a plate of chicken for my mother-in-law and put it on the table.

After a while, the dumplings were cooked and put on the table.

Zhou Shujie made a bowl alone, put it on the cabinet lid, and put chopsticks on it. This is for the ancestors.

It's all busy, and it's almost twelve o'clock.

The village also resounded with the sound of crackling firecrackers.

I heard people setting off firecrackers.

Zhou Shujie only remembered that there were firecrackers in her house, and she would have forgotten about it if she didn't let it go.

Put on your clothes and grab your 100-shot firecrackers.

He took out a piece of wood with coals from the pit, opened the door and went into the courtyard, went to the window, lit the firecrackers by the candlelight of the candles in the house, and hurried to throw them into the open space far away.

Cover your ears and listen to it crackle.

Although I smelled the smell of gunpowder, it made people feel very comfortable.

Zhou Shujie entered the house, and when he saw that the two children were in sync with his mother-in-law, he stared and twisted his head, looking out of the window in surprise.

Zhou Shujie was amused.

When the three grandparents heard her amusement, they turned their heads around in unison.

"Huh!ha......ha

It didn't matter if I saw their synchronized expressions. Zhou Shujie, who was about to go to the kang, almost fell to resist, squatting on the edge of the kang in an awkward position, and it took a long time to ease up.

The three grandparents and grandchildren really looked at this "mother" and "daughter-in-law" with a blank face, and they didn't know what she was laughing at?

When eating, Zhou Shujie couldn't help but snort when she thought about it, puff and joy!

At the dinner table, Zhou Shujie kept putting meat dishes into her mother-in-law's bowl.

Occasionally, she looked up, and she saw that the expression on her mother-in-law's face seemed to be a little wrong.

When I raised my head again and looked carefully, I found that my mother-in-law still had the same expression as usual, and there was nothing special about it.

Zhou Shujie tilted his head and thought, "Could it be that I'm looking dazzled?" Well, it should be dazzle." Thinking like this, I let go of the matter.

Zhou Shujie ate almost, the chicken soup was also cold, picked it up and gave it to the two children for a little, and fed them some milk powder less, seeing that the two children were so sleepy that they couldn't sit still, he put them in the quilt and patted them to sleep.

When the mother-in-law finished eating, she lowered the table, cleaned up and washed up.

Zhou Shujie just got on the kang, ready to lie down and squint for a while while in his clothes.

The time shown on the table is already half past one, and I can only get lost for three or four o'clock, and I will get up again to make breakfast on the first day of the new year.

Zhou Shujie, in his sleep, met the people who couldn't go home for the New Year......
