The steamed buns were steamed from morning to afternoon, and there were seven pots of steaming, with a total of more than 140 large steamed buns.

The old lady put the steamed buns outside to cool, and then took a silk bag and filled two bags.

Yuan Si was not idle when she got up late, and she was fine today, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was her chef.

This is not difficult for her, I think she was also in the kitchen at the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that she had no time to go to school and work, which round would get the old lady to get started.

So Yuan Si threw off her arms in the kitchen and started working. Da chop meat filling, when the dangdang cut potatoes, brush and wash vegetables, I am also very busy alone.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the food was about to be set up, there was a knock on the courtyard door of the Li family.

"Who is this, why are there still people visiting the door for the New Year. The old lady muttered, but stopped what she was doing and prepared to open the door.

Yuan Si was in the kitchen, and she also heard a knock on the door, but when she saw the family of four outside, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, it seems that this year is not very easy.

The old lady opened the door and saw that it was her son's family of four standing outside.

Li Dubao hugged his little son and called his mother a little embarrassed.

When it was Xiaohu, he happily ran over and hugged his thighs, and shouted affectionately: "Grandma Happy New Year, I came to see you, do you want Xiaohu." ”

The old lady's originally stiff face also smiled a little, and she touched her grandson's little head, but in the end she let the door open and let them into the yard.

"Okay, grandma is fine, are you naughty or not?"

"No, I'm obedient, I finished all my winter vacation homework yesterday, and I also helped my dad clean up the house and cook, don't you believe my dad. The child was afraid that his grandmother would not believe it, so he quickly turned his head and asked his father to testify against him, "Dad, am I obedient and help you work." ”

"Yes, you are the most obedient. Li Dubao saw that the old lady's face was a little relaxed, and the people were also relaxed, seeing that his son was so natural with the old lady, he was also faintly envious in his heart, that was his mother, his own mother.

"Little uncle, I'm here, are you happy? As soon as Xiao Fuwen came out of the house, he was seen by the sharp-eyed little tiger, and then immediately let go of his grandmother's thighs and ran over to hug his uncle's thighs.

The child is very smart, he can tell whose thighs are thick.

"Happy. Xiao Fuwen also touched Xiaohu's head, when this child is not a bear, he is still very cute, "Big brother, sister-in-law is back, hurry up and enter the house." He looked up and said hello to Li Dubao and his wife.

Although he can't look at it, no matter how he says it, it's small, and it's polite to greet him first when he meets. Besides, this is his own home, Li Dubao's family is a concubine when he comes back, and he, the master, has to entertain him. The most important thing is that since the old lady let them into the house, the meaning is obvious, how can he, who is a son-in-law, have to give his mother-in-law this face, and he can still afford to pay for those few pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

"Hey!" Li Dubao didn't know what to say, so he could only bow his head and answer.

Let a few people into the house, he went over to close the courtyard door himself, and he didn't enter the house, and went directly to the kitchen, "Daughter-in-law, I see that your eldest brother's family seems to have something to do when they come over this year." ”

"What do you say?" Yuan Si saw the situation in the yard just now, but the dishes were still in the pot, and she didn't want to entertain the family, so she hid in the kitchen and didn't go out.

"You see that Zhou Yaping is such a capable person, and he came over quietly today, without squeaking, how strange. Xiao Fuwen analyzed to his daughter-in-law, "A while ago, I didn't let Xiaohu come to our house, but now I took the initiative to come over, and my motives are not pure at first glance." ”

Yuan thought about it and nodded in agreement, the two of them didn't believe that they were going back to the shore, they only knew that dogs couldn't change their.

"I guess I have some bad idea in my heart. "The two of them are not afraid, as long as the old lady can hold on, Zhou Yaping is good idea, no matter how good it is, it will not work.

"Let's just listen to it for a while, don't talk, don't scold Zhou Yaping, if you make the old lady angry, we will still suffer. Xiao Fuwen first gave his daughter-in-law a preventive shot in advance.

"You are my three-year-old child, can I not know this truth, the dish is out of the pot, you serve it, and I will be finished with one dish." Yuan Si waved the spatula and brought out the dishes that had been fried in the pot.

You know these truths, but aren't I afraid that you won't be able to control your temper when the time comes, Xiao Fuwen took the plate and couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

In the house, the old lady sat on the bed, Li Dubao had already untied the burden on her chest, and carefully put her little son beside the old lady.

"Why did you think you were coming back today, I thought you forgot that you still have a hometown. The old lady looked down at her grandson, and what she said was not polite at all.

Li Dubao bowed his head and was silent, and Zhou Yaping replied in the back: "Look at what you said, if you have that condition, who doesn't want to go back to your hometown for the New Year, but isn't your son not that capable." ”

The old lady asked her son, "The child is not yet three months old, what are you doing tossing him on a cold day, what if you catch a cold?" I haven't been back for so many years, and it's still a year away. ”

"It's okay, I dressed the child a lot, and along the way, I covered him with a dress outside, and it didn't blow him. ”

Xiaohu saw that the adults were revolving around his younger brother, and he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly ran to his grandmother's side, this time holding his grandmother's legs and shouting: "Grandma, don't like your brother, he may be crying, not well-behaved at all." "That means you still like me, I'm better than my brother.

"Really, Xiaohu doesn't cry, does he? The old lady was happy when she saw her eldest grandson's tiger-headed appearance.

Xiaohu nodded hurriedly, isn't it, since he educated his sister-in-law, he is a big child, sweating and bleeding without tears.

"Is the little one named?" asked the old lady her son.

Zhou Yaping was not happy to see that no one was paying attention to her, but thinking that there was something to ask for the dead old lady today, she suppressed the resentment in her heart, looked at the house, and walked directly to the dining table, there were already eight dishes on it, although they were all buckled with plates, but just smelling the smell knew that they were all good dishes.

"Up, the big name is Li Shangnan, the nickname originally wanted to be called Erhu, didn't you say it was not good, I went back and thought about it, I wanted to call Xiaoxiong Xiaoniu or something, but Xiaohu said it was not good, he said that his younger brother was called Niu Niu. Li Dubao said this, and there was a smile on his face.

"Mom, don't steal food, my sister-in-law said that you have to wait for grandma to serve the table before you can eat, and if you steal it, you won't give it food. Xiaohu saw that his mother was going to eat secretly, and hurriedly reminded him that he was kind, and he was afraid that his mother would be kicked out by his sister-in-law for a while.

The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law and ignored her. Li Dubao wanted to say a few words to her daughter-in-law, but after looking at her mother, she didn't speak.

Zhou Yaping's outstretched hand turned around and touched her hair, and snorted in her nose.
