The Chinese New Year is approaching, but the dinner of the founding marquis mansion is not reunited.

Pei Zhengwen didn't come back from training in the barracks, so Cui Mengzhang found an excuse to hide in the room and take his own son Pei Xingde to avoid eating at the same table with Pei Shuo. A few people in the big room were not there, and Li Shuangyu in the second room couldn't go over to the head of their house, Pei Xingzhiba had to see Pei Shuo, and several brothers came to complain to him, saying that Pei Shuo let go of his snake to scare them, telling them not to come to the Hou Mansion in the future, otherwise they would see each other and bite once.

This time, there were only three people at the table: Pei Suiyin, his brother-in-law Pei Xingning and Pei Shuo.

Cheerless.

Pei Suiyin sighed: "The family is not a family, and your eldest brother has not come back yet." ”

"Grandpa. Pei Xingning comforted him, "The second uncle and the second aunt are estimated to have something, as for the eldest brother, it may be delayed on the road." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law didn't come out either. Pei Suiyin said in his heart. Every day with Xingde, Xingde is already six years old, he should go out of the inner courtyard and move to the outer courtyard to live with his brothers, and he should go to a private school for enlightenment like Xingning, she sees that the calf is so tight that she doesn't want to let go, let alone let him contact with a few brothers, so sooner or later it will be abolished, but unfortunately the eldest is busy with the military camp and has no time to teach his son, and the second one is also in the house and gradually has no contact.

Pei Suiyin doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't force his two daughters-in-law to come to him in the morning and dusk, but as he gets older, he only has Pei Xingning by his side, and there is always a moment or two of longing for excitement and reunion at home.

The quiet child grew up, and he was already gentle and introverted when he was about to reach the year of dancing elephants, and if there was no accident, Pei Xingning would be as peaceful and peaceful as his name in the future.

Six years ago, he was afraid of Pei Shuo and became closer to Pei Xingzhi. As the two went to Nanxun to study, the fourth brother Pei Xingde was born, Pei Shuo went to Yanmen to serve in the army, Pei Zhengwen had no time to take care of the family, the housemother had no intention of taking care of him, his aunt was weak, he was taken by his grandfather to practice martial arts, listen to Pei Shuo's letters home, listen to his deeds of breaking the enemy in Yanmen, the original fear slowly turned into envy and worship, seeing Pei Shuo was sent home to recuperate after his personality became more and more violent, he was surrounded by what to do, and he also complained about his incompetence and cowardice in his heart.

Now that Pei Shuo is better again, Pei Xingning can't be happy, so he hurriedly shared with his grandfather: "Grandpa, my eldest brother has been fine recently, eh, it has become normal...... Uh......" Pei Xingning explained more and more, "I didn't mean that." ”

"I understand, go on, I'll hear how he's getting better. ”

Pei Xingning received his encouragement, and he slowly talked about the signs he had heard and seen—he and Pei Shuo were not studying together: "Recently, the master praised the eldest brother's strategy, saying that his article was well written, although it was not a splendid article, but it was simple and beautiful. ”

Pei Suiyin's face was slightly satisfied, and he planned to go back to Pei Shuo's homework, and the man's family should be both civil and military.

As they were talking, Pei Shuo was holding the food box and carrying ribs in his hand, "Grandpa, third brother, I brought you food." ”

He handed the ribs to the maid and took them to the kitchen to say that they would be made tomorrow, opened the food box and took out all the dishes inside, and introduced: "This is the lamb ball soup with shredded radish, and this is the lamb fried with green onions." I went hunting sheep in Dongshan a few days ago, so you can taste them. ”

A small charcoal stove was placed at the bottom of the food box, a soup was placed on a bamboo board across a layer, and the vegetables were placed on the top layer.

Pei Sui sighed, the rabbit cub knew that he was filial to the old man, but unfortunately Pei Shuo's father was not there, and when he came back, he showed off Pei Shuo's filial piety to him. He picked up a lamb meatball and tasted it, it didn't taste strange, it was chewy, and it didn't stuff his teeth.

"Grandpa, the shredded radish is very soft, you can taste it too. Pei Xingning added some shredded radish to Pei Suiyin, and Pei Suiyin said yes again and again.

"It's really good, it's delicious, who bought it?"

Pei Shuo scratched his head, "I didn't buy it, I asked A-Yao to do it." ”

Which A-Yao?

When did Big Brother meet the girl?

One big and one young, two people had questions at the same time.

Jiang is still old and spicy, Pei Suiyin quickly remembered that six years ago, Pei Shuo did not hesitate to poke a wound by himself for the sake of a little girl, and his expression was grim: "She came to the capital?"

"Hmm. ”

"I see. ”

"Grandpa, don't beat her up. ”

Pei Xingning looked at his grandfather and looked at Pei Shuo as if he was playing a sharp game, if a kitten scratched the wall in his heart, who are you talking about, don't play dumb riddles!

……

The small turmoil of the Pei family, A-Yao is not clear, the New Year is approaching, the proprietress is going to take the two babies back to her parents' house, it is said that the road is still far away, so she was given a holiday in advance, and she did not continue to open until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

It's a holiday!

Rounding equals a winter break!

Ah Yao was so happy that she received a meager salary, and the next day she slept three days a day, so she went out to continue looking for workers.

Dig a pond in the backyard, spread a thick layer of pond mud, plant some lotus flowers and lotus leaves, surround a circle of stones on the shore, and raise a goose to prevent some people from coming in over the wall.

The original plan was to dig a pond and then buy the goose, who thought that within a few days, there would be a hawker carrying two cages of live geese through the streets and alleys, A-Yao saw a cute little goose at a glance, and no matter if the goose can help her take care of the house, raise one first, and then say, if not, it will be fattened and slaughtered to eat.

And then ......

The little goose, who has just become a member of the new family, runs all over the ground with its wings, teasing the puppies sleeping under the tree, and it is the battle between the two young versions of the goose and dog, and the scene can be described as a goose flying dog jumping on the ground.

Did she pit herself?

Ah Yao fell into deep thought, went to the kitchen and took out the whetstone, splashed the well water upward, and sharpened the knife against a dog and a goose.

These two finally stopped.

After calculating that the day should break the ground, Ah Yao, accompanied by Aunt Wang, invited the workers to start work.

"Aunt Wang, thank you for your hard work. A-Yao rubbed the flour in the basin and thanked Aunt Wang.

"Everywhere, it's the neighborhood. Aunt Wang smiled, "What are you going to cook today, this is the first day, you have to eat and drink well......

"I made lamb stew, and my friend beat me sheep. Seeing Aunt Wang's eyebrows raised, obviously disagreeing, A-Yao leaned over and whispered: "You don't have to worry, I have already eaten a good part with him in the store yesterday, and I am still worried that no one will help me eat it." ”

"It's good that you know what to do. ”

"A stewed mutton, and then make a braised pork, chestnut stewed chicken, burn a pot of fish head tofu soup, fry a few plates of zucchini, steamed buns are all you can eat, what do you think?"

“…… The Chinese New Year is no exception. Aunt Wang said.

Ah Yao smiled, she cooked for the sake of practice: "Isn't it just for the New Year." ”

I borrowed a table from a neighbor and joined it with the table at home to form a long table, and a dozen people sat around and watched, and various dishes were put on the table. Braised pork with thick oil red sauce, fragrant stewed mutton, with yuba and shallots, fragrant and delicious chestnut stewed chicken, you can eat several bites of white flour steamed buns with the sauce, and the last bowl of tofu soup with fish umami is under the stomach.
