"zha weir. Not at all surprised.

I remember in my previous life, when I was a child, I rarely ate any snacks at home, such as fruit and crispy meat, and I only ate them once or twice a year, so every time I went to the house to fry crispy meat and fried fruits, it was very strange, and I would pick up the stove and ask: "Mother-in-law, what are these fruits fried?"

Granny Chen would not answer seriously every time, but would say, "Take it to zha weir." ”

Then Xiaoxi will seriously ask, "What is the zha weir for?"

Granny Chen continued: "The weir pond has collapsed, and it is not blocked to the point of rectification, in case it leaks. ”

Xiaoxi frowned and said, "Ah~ The weir pond has collapsed again." The tone is very lost, these are all taken to zha weir, what do you eat.

"Then why don't the others go to zha yan, I want you to go. "It's not their family's weir pond.

This made Granny Chen laugh, and she said nothing more.

zha weir, there is a side of the weir pond, and if it collapses, it must be blocked with stones and soil, otherwise it will leak.

It's funny to think about it now, but I actually believed it at the time. Later, when asked again, Granny Chen still said this, but Xiaoxi didn't believe it at that time, and smiled and didn't say anything.

The mother-in-law still said this stalk as always, and Xiaoxi quickly buried her head and laughed silently.

It's good to live a new life, these memories that are about to disappear, and I will experience it again. Wiping the tears from her eyes, Xiaoxi struggled to raise the corners of her mouth, smiled silently, and continued to boil the pot. It will be different, in this life, she will not escape anymore, and she will live wonderfully.

Granny Chen looked up at the stream in front of the stove door, and she didn't know why she was smiling so happily, and the corners of her mouth were about to reach the root of her ears. But I feel very different from my previous laughter, but I don't know what is different.

I didn't think much about it and continued to work.

It took another hour of busyness to come to an end. Xiaoxi collected half a basket of lean crispy pork and pork ribs, and a basket of eggplant crispy meat.

With the left hand, put the colander on the iron basin, and with the right hand, scoop the oil into the pan and pour it into the colander to filter out the flour residue at the bottom of the pot.

Seeing that the glutinous rice had been soaked for more than two hours, the creek got up and scooped up the water and took out more than 20 sections of lotus root, after all, there was a pot of glutinous rice soaked.

Carefully cut off the joints of the lotus root so that the lotus root holes are not exposed. Throw it into a basin of water and carefully clean all the small crevices.

Bring a knife to peel the lotus root, for her, it is more convenient to use a knife for things like peeling.

"Sister, what are you doing? I'll help you. Chen Yubin, who was sitting by the fire, saw Xiaoxi busy working in front of the board, so he ran over and said with the board.

"You're here just in time, bring that knife. Xiaoxi glanced at the knife not far from the board and motioned for him to bring it.

"Come on, help me peel these lotus roots, I'll use them later." "After the creek had cut a section of lotus root, he used a kitchen knife to cut off two or three centimeters at each end of the lotus root and the lotus root, and put it aside to be used later.

Because these lotus roots are produced in space, they are extraordinarily coarse, half a length longer than ordinary lotus roots, so in order to be convenient for loading glutinous rice, both sides are cut.

The water used to soak the glutinous rice was cleared, brought to the board, and a pair of clean chopsticks were drawn, and the creek began to fill the glutinous rice.

While filling, I also poke it with chopsticks from time to time, and because the lotus root is long, I put glutinous rice from both sides. A section of lotus root is filled, take the lid of the lotus root that has been cut off on the side, and close it......

Alas~ Why did I forget it. Annoyed, he slapped his head and put down the work in his hand, Xiaoxi climbed from the stairs of the sleeping house to the second floor, and found the bamboo strips that Old Man Chen had chopped in the house where the sundries were kept.

These are all leftovers that Old Man Chen made up and memorized, and they were left upstairs.

They are all five or six meters long, and I smoked one at random, and went downstairs to find a bamboo knife, but I didn't find it for a long time, so I dragged the bamboo strip back to the stove room.

"Sister, where did you go, don't say a word, leave me alone here to help you cut the lotus. As soon as Xiaoxi entered the door, Chen Yubin saw it and couldn't help complaining. "What are you doing with this bamboo stick?"

"Hey...... I forgot something just now and went to look for it. Xiaoxi remembered that someone Chen Yubin came to help, but she left him and ran away, so she touched her head and smiled embarrassedly.

"That's all you have in your hand, what do you want it for?"

Xiaoxi looked at the things in his hand, "No, I haven't done it yet." With his things, he walked up to Old Man Chen, "Master, where is the bamboo knife? I searched around but couldn't find it." ”

"Tell me to put it up, what do you want a bamboo knife for?" Looking at the bamboo strip in her hand, and then asking for a bamboo knife, Old Man Chen knew what to do, just ask more.

Putting the bamboo stick in his hand on the dining table, "Master, I want to use a toothpick, but we don't have it in the house, so I'll find this." Master, you helped me cut it into such a long ......."

Xiaoxi made a five- or six-centimeter-long gesture with his thumb and index finger, "I'm going to use it to insert lotus roots, and it's okay to cut the thick ones, just to be strong, it's too thin." ”

Old Man Chen looked at his granddaughter in front of him with a smile, "Okay, just call me." Then he got up on his knees, "I'll go get a knife." ”

Xiaoxi covered her mouth and smirked, "Hee-hee......"

Before returning to the board, Chen Yubin had already cut four or five sections of lotus root, and Xiaoxi brought the peeled lotus root and continued to fill it with glutinous rice.

"Sister, do you say that we are really going to the county seat tomorrow?" Chen Yubin leaned over to Xiaoxi and whispered, he was still not at ease, because until now, Old Man Chen had not revealed any news, saying that he was going to the county seat tomorrow.

"Yes, I promise. Xiaoxi raised her right hand and looked at him sincerely, reassuring.

"That's good, that's good. Chen Yubin nodded, looking finally relieved. Back in place.

Xiaoxi looked at him, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of his hands, he would pat his chest, he was very helpless, why was he still thinking about this for a long time.

"Sister. "I came over again.

The stream, with its eyes upward, rolled its eyes. However, Chen Yubin's eyes were on the lotus root and knife in his hand, but he didn't notice it.

"Huh?" she could only reluctantly know, and the movement of the glutinous rice in her hand was not slow at all.

"Sister, do you say that there are more cannons and fireworks sold in the county town than in Longyan?" Chen Yubin said excitedly.

"Definitely, the county is so big, there are so many people, and there must be many styles and types sold. ”

"Ah~ Then I'm going to buy a lot of guns, buy so many, and fireworks. Chen Yubin's eyes lit up, he put down the lotus root and knife in his hand, and gestured with his long hands.

However, when he thought of something, the look in his eyes dimmed a little, "Sister, you say, how many cannons will grandpa agree to buy from us?" I want to buy ground rats (sky monkeys), scrubbing cannons, smashing cannons, fireworks, ......" and counted carefully with his fingers.

Wipe the cannon, like a match, and you can ignite it by rubbing it on the sandpaper on the cardboard box. It's very powerful, and Xiaoxi is more afraid of this, so he basically doesn't play with it.

Smashing the cannon is very simple, you only need to smash it on the ground and it will sound. It's not dangerous, she is all playing with this, only a dollar a box, which is cheap, safe and fun.

Fireworks are actually flash thunder, a thin cylinder, held in your hand, lit up to the sky, still a bit like fireworks, but the time is too short, only a few sounds.

But this, for them at that time, was the best thing for the Chinese New Year. If they heard that fireworks were being set off at night, the whole family would crowd in the courtyard and watch until it was over.

Because at that time, boxes of fireworks were sold too expensive, and most people were reluctant to buy them, unless they bought a few boxes of fireworks like a big birthday or a happy event, and put them in the evening, and everyone was lively and lively together.

To live a big life is to do a whole life or something.

Therefore, such as this kind of small fireworks in a cylinder is the most popular during the Chinese New Year, basically every household will buy a handful (four or five) for the children at home to play, and leave it for the 30th night or the first or second night of the new year.

"I want to buy more of everything, I want to have enough...... I'm going to buy two, no, not enough, three. Fireworks, I want to buy a little more, how much to buy...... Sister, what can I do if you say that you don't buy it for me?" Chen Yubin frowned, and his two hands hung helplessly on the edge of the basin, unable to count.

"You are stupid, grandpa won't buy it for you, you don't know how to buy it secretly. What are you doing with your money?

"Besides, you bought it and hid it in the jade pendant, and he didn't know it. Wait until the New Year to play with it, even if your grandfather knows about it, and if you buy it for the New Year, he won't say anything about you. ”

Chen Yubin turned his head and looked at Xiaoxi excitedly, and said excitedly: "Sister, you have a good idea, why did I forget that I still have a jade pendant." ”

Carefully took out the storage jade pendant hidden in the sweater, rubbed it several times with his fingertips, and then stuffed it back into the sweater, put his hand on the jade pendant on his chest, and said sincerely: "It's so convenient to have this thing." "Through the sweater, you can also carefully trace the silhouette of Pixiu.

"But when the time comes, we will have to follow Grandpa, and he will definitely not let us run around. "One problem is solved, and another problem follows.

"Hey...... Sister, you must help me then. Blinking and looking pitifully at the stream. I think my sister will definitely be able to think of a way.

If it weren't for the lack of time on his hands, Xiaoxi would definitely poke his forehead viciously and look for trouble all day. Although he didn't have time to make a move, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." ”

After solving this matter, he turned his head and thought to himself, "When the time comes, I will go to the county seat, if I see anything delicious and have not eaten, I will buy more and put it in the space, anyway, I have money." Again he patted the jade pendant with satisfaction.

Alas~ If I hadn't stopped you, you would have spent a lot of money, and you still have a fart money, and you're still here magnificent, cut~

"Xiaoxi, can you take a look at these?" Old Man Chen put all the sharpened bamboo sticks on the dining table and called Xiaoxi to take a look.
