With melon seeds in her mouth, the second aunt shouted "Xiaoxi" indistinctly, but Xiaoxi still heard it and looked at her suspiciously.

Spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, "Xiaoxi, you tell me again about the methods of what jujube cake and pumpkin pie are, I have forgotten a little." ”

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Old Man Chen, who was chatting with Uncle Zhao, heard it and turned back in surprise and asked.

The second aunt reproduced how she found out about the food in the morning, how she thought it was delicious, and how the third aunt asked Xiaoxi for advice on how to make it, as if it was a rare thing for everyone to reproduce.

also said the third aunt's reaction, in the words of the second aunt, "Hey~ Didn't you see the battle of the three women, both eyes lit up", while speaking, I saw that her eyes were also wide, imitating the expression of the third aunt, which made several people by the fire laugh.

Then he praised Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi is smart, she remembers so many steps and told us about it." He pretended to be annoyed again, "Oh, the baby's family is smart, like us, and I forgot about it after a while." So, I asked the creek to tell me again. ”

Xiaoxi listened to the excitement for a long time, and when he saw that he was talking about himself, he said: "Second aunt, if I don't write it down for you, if you forget it again, you can also look at it on paper." ”

Several aunts have been to school for a few days and know all simple words.

The second aunt of the Chen family is the best of the three sisters, and the husband she married is also the best among the three uncles.

"That's fine. "The second aunt is not afraid to recognize or not, if she doesn't recognize it, she will find Lao Zhao.

Xiaoxi quickly got up, went back to the sleeping house and got a pen and paper, lay down on the dining table, and carefully recalled each step before writing down carefully.

The second aunt also had fun and came to Xiaoxi's side to watch her write.

"Hey, Xiaoxi is weirdly beautifully written. The second aunt said with a look of surprise.

"I'll see. When Uncle Zhao heard this, he was a little interested, and he was ready to go and see the words written by Xiaoxi.

didn't think about it, the second aunt dragged the notebook pressed under Xiaoxi's arm and handed it to Uncle Zhao. Xiaoxi was stunned, and Uncle Zhao was also stunned before he took it.

"It's okay to write, it's square, it's better than the average person to write. After reading the comment, Uncle Zhao handed the book in the direction of the second aunt.

Xiaoxi smiled embarrassedly at him, took the notebook with both hands, turned around and lay on the table to continue writing.

The second aunt didn't know what was going on, and continued to praise Xiaoxi next to her, "It's a two-year book, the handwriting is beautiful, this woman will have a future in the future, and other people's books are also good......"

How to read her words and feel that she will have a future in the future, the straight boasting brook has hot ears, slowly buries his head, pretends not to hear them, and earnestly dictates the production method.

Xiaoxi has always felt that her handwriting is neither good-looking nor ugly, and there is no style at all, so in her life, she plans to practice her calligraphy well. She was very envious of those who could write well, especially those who were unique.

After writing it, I checked it again and saw that there were no mistakes, so I tore off a few pieces of paper and handed it to my second aunt.

The second aunt took over, looked at the front and back again, and then said the word "right", folded a few pieces of paper and put them in her pocket. He had a satisfied smile on his face all the time.

"Dad, Mom, then we should go back, it's time to be busy at night. Seeing that the time was not early, the second aunt got up and said goodbye to Old Man Chen.

Old Man Chen didn't keep it, and when they left, his family would start to get busy. "Okay, pick up the things and bring them back to the two babies to eat. He reminded by gesturing to the two bags on the table.

The corners of the second aunt's mouth are almost to the root of her ears, she saw this grape when she went to the county seat two days ago, but it was a little expensive, she was reluctant to buy it, but she didn't expect her old man to buy it and give them some.

And those that are eaten, fresh and delicious.

Hearing what Old Man Chen said, he didn't bother to say a lie at all, picked up the bag, and walked out the door.

In addition to Chinese New Year's Eve meals every Chinese New Year's Eve night, there are several important things, one is to burn paper and set off cannons for the dead.

This morning, after the three aunts arrived, the whole family, large and small, except for Granny Chen, all went with paper cannons.

First, in front of the door, I burned paper for my ancestors. Old Zuzu died one winter three years ago, and Xiaoxi was really sad at that time, because he was a very cute and poor old man.

After he died, his son and daughter did not come back, so several families in the courtyard, that is, the uncle's family, the second mother-in-law's family, the eldest mother's family, and the Xiaoxi family, sent the old man out together.

The house he left behind became the joint property of the four families.

Every year his grandson still comes back to his grave. If they want to say that they have a conscience, then why didn't they have time to come back to see the old ancestor before, why did the old ancestor die, and they didn't come back to carry the old man out. To say that they have no conscience, they have to come back every year before the beginning of spring to burn paper to the grave of their ancestors. The brook was confused.

Burn it for the old ancestors, and go further.

There is a grave forest on the Chen family's side, and it is basically buried by the Chen family. The family carried paper cannons to the graves of Mr. Chen's parents and Granny Chen's parents, first burning a pile of printing paper, lighting three incense sticks, inserting them in the soil, and then lighting the cannons.

In this life, Chen Yubin is fine. After burning the paper, Old Man Chen followed them home. The waist is straight, talking and laughing with everyone, and it is no longer the old back in Xiaoxi's memory.

After paying tribute to the deceased, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, write it down to get rid of the old.

Granny Chen had already boiled two large pots of water, and was mixing warm water at this time, and was about to pour it into the basin.

"Xiaoxi, where are the clothes?" Seeing that Granny Chen began to scoop water, Old Man Chen suddenly remembered where the clothes were still in the stream.

The roasted sleepy stream, when asked suddenly, his head was dazed, and he said in confusion: "What?"

"It's the new clothes you washed last night, aren't they put into the space, take them out, and when you take a shower later, your mother-in-law will definitely ask." Old Man Chen said anxiously.

Today I have been busy from getting up to now, so Granny Chen has never thought about the clothes, and she is going to take a shower now, so she must remember it, so Old Man Chen is a little anxious.

Xiaoxi slapped his head and cleaned it instantly, "Oh~ Yes, yes, yes, you have to take out your clothes quickly, so as not to wait for your mother-in-law to ask." Then he turned around and went out, and then came with a large bag of clothes.

Old Man Chen pinched it casually a few times, and said in surprise: "Hey~ It's all done." ”

Xiaoxi nodded lightly, said the word "um", and didn't say anything.

When Old Man Chen saw that the clothes were brought, he got up to help Granny Chen carry water.

They were going to take a bath by the fire at the head of the stove house, it was still a little cold these days, and they had to take precautions. There was a pot of ginger soup boiled next to it, and after taking a bath, I drank a big bowl to keep out the cold.

The four of them took a shower and changed into new clothes. When my hair is dried, I go out for a walk.

Adults just get together and chat blindly, children just run up and down as usual, play with mud, play with marbles, etc., and after the New Year, there is one more, playing with cannons.

But now that they have all changed into new clothes, for them who rarely wear new clothes twice a year, they have to be much more careful than usual without special instructions from adults.

After chatting for a while, it was about six o'clock, and several people rushed home to start preparing dinner for the evening. On the way, I discussed it and prepared to cook the hot pot, and the hot pot ingredients were bought back yesterday.

When I got home, I changed into my old coats, and I will wear them tomorrow. Now that I was working, I changed into old clothes.

Choose the vegetables, wash the vegetables, and cut the vegetables. When the dishes were almost ready, Xiaoxi took out the hot pot ingredients and asked Mr. Chen to stir them in the oil pot, which was more delicious.

As soon as the hot pot ingredients were poured into the oil pot, a choking and spicy smell came to the face, and after a while, it filled the real room, so that the other three escaped as if fleeing for their lives, leaving only Old Man Chen on the stove with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Because there was nothing to cook for the hot pot, an iron shelf was set up directly on the fire, and the ladder pot in the middle of the stove was used to hold the hot pot soup and put it on the iron shelf, and the four of them sat around the fire and ate in the pot.

There is a dining table in the middle, with hot pot dishes, separating Old Man Chen, Granny Chen, Xiaoxi, and Chen Yubin.

The pot was now on the fire, and it was filled with chicken feet and bought meatballs. The brook helped set the spices.

Yesterday, I bought sesame seeds, but they were all cooked sesame seeds, but I asked the boss to help me buy some raw sesame seeds, and the boss agreed.

After coming back, Xiaoxi grinded some sesame paste and sesame oil in the space, which was just used for shabu-shabu today.

Place the sesame paste, sesame oil, vinegar, chopped green onion, coriander, and chopped pepper on the dining table and season it yourself.

The sesame paste and sesame oil on the table attracted the attention of Old Man Chen and Granny Chen, and Xiaoxi explained.

After putting the spices on the table, Xiaoxi asked everyone what juice they wanted to drink to quench their thirst.

"What's the juice?" asked Old Man Chen.

Xiaoxi folded his hands and counted, "There are apple juice, watermelon juice, pear juice, orange juice, grape juice, peach juice, hawthorn water, well~ That's probably it." ”

"Oops, I want to drink it when I hear it~" Chen Yubin said unabashedly with a thick heart.

"Then think about it, what do you drink first, and then change to another one later. ”

"Well, I think about it...... Then I'll ask for a watermelon juice. ”

"Well, Binbin wants watermelon juice, what about Granny Chan?" Xiaoxi asked Granny Chen.

"I'll just have an orange juice. ”

"Orange juice, huh, where's Grandpa?"

"I'll just drink hawthorn water sour, eat while eating, eat more, hahaha......" Old Man Chen said and joked to himself.

Xiaoxi saw a glass of draft beer at the farmer's market yesterday, so he bought a few, which happened to be used for juice.
