In a flash, Xiang Gang's birthday arrived.

At this time last year, the couple was not married, they were still in the stage of talking about objects, and they were not in the same place, so they had no chance to have a lively time.

This year is different, the family has added Ding to increase the number of people, and the work is not busy, no matter how you don't pay attention to it, you can always do it if you get a few good dishes and fried plate birthday noodles.

What's more, when Xiang Gang was alone before, he never had a birthday. Xia Lao thought about him, and stuffed him with a favorite gift around his birthday, but he never cared about it.

Sometimes Xia Lao is not in the military region, and when he goes north or south, he is even less concerned, and he even remembers it after a month, and he is inadvertently a year older.

Therefore, Yingfang wanted to give him a good celebration this time.

On her birthday, Jiang Xinrou came early in the morning, cooked a bowl of steaming birthday noodles for her son-in-law, and handed her hand-picked mille-feuille shoes.

Yingfang sewed a pair of preserved egg gloves for him. I felt sorry for the crack of his hand, and the birthday gift that was planned early in the morning was a knee pad sewn with rabbit hair tanned at the beginning of the year.

When it's cold, I'm most afraid of the cold wind pouring into my trouser legs, and my knees are freezing cold.

The gloves were made after he was transferred to the road repair team. And in order to surprise him, every day he takes it out and sews it after he goes out.

The wear-resistant Clicker fabric is covered with chubby and soft new cotton, and it can be worn on the hands when it is cold to go out to work, and it can warm from the palm to the heart.

Ying Fang tried it on for him and said: "Even if the weather is not particularly cold, you can wear it, look at you going up the mountain in the past few days, the tiger's mouth has made several cuts, the weather is dry, the wound heals slowly, and you will suffer less when you wear it." Then he put on a knee pad, "I don't feel cold when I ride this in the morning." ”

"Hmm. Xiang Gang was warm in his heart, looked at his daughter-in-law gently, and in front of his mother-in-law, he was embarrassed to say sensational words, but happily hooked the corners of his mouth and shook his daughter-in-law's hand.

thanked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for the gifts, held the ocean bowl, and ate the longevity noodles with eggs.

I thought it was a good birthday, and I was about to go out, but I didn't want to hear my daughter-in-law say: "Come back early after work at noon, don't go to the mountains to hang around, I invited Xia Lao to come over for birthday dinner." The regiment commander can't spare time at noon, so it's better to invite them in the evening, except for Battalion Commander Wu, Battalion Commander Lin, Deputy Battalion Commander Qin, and Deputy Battalion Commander Meng, you can see who else wants to invite? ”

Xiang Gang was surprised, and there was noon?

"Isn't that too grand?"

It's not that I feel sorry for those vegetables and grains, but I'm afraid that the teachers will move the people, and the impact will not be good.

Ying Fang glanced at him amusedly: "I don't go around preaching, what's the grandeur? Xia Lao invited, don't you have anything else to discuss with him? Even if it's not your birthday, I want to invite him to have a light meal at home these days." As for your comrades-in-arms, don't you want to get together with them a long time ago? This is not a ready-made opportunity, there is wine and food at home, you just have to be responsible for calling people to come. My mom and I will prepare the meals. ”

Xiang Gang looked at his mother-in-law.

Jiang Xinrou looked at him with a smile, which is also what he meant.

Scratching his head, he said embarrassedly: "That's troublesome." ”

Knowing that her daughter-in-law has a big belly, her mother-in-law will definitely not let her work more.

"Some work that is not in a hurry, leave it for me to come back and do it. He pinched the back of his daughter-in-law's hand.

"Alright, it's too late to leave. Ying Fang smiled and pushed him out.

Xiang Gang looked at the time, and it was time to go.

Hurriedly told his daughter-in-law: "Then I'll go." You take it easy, don't be tired, mom too, don't worry about making a few dishes, everyone is happy. ”

Ying Fangmu sent him downstairs and returned to the house to prepare the dishes for lunch and evening with her mother.

It's better at noon, and only entertains Xia Lao. Xia Lao has never forgotten the tofu and crab pot made by Yingfang once, and he happened to buy a red paste pike crab today, stew the crab pot with tofu, and then fry the peanuts and stir-fry the two hot dishes.

The staple food is Wufu Sushou noodles with five kinds of vegetables, such as bean sprouts, leeks, shredded tofu, shredded fungus, and shredded carrots.

It also looks good - crispy white bean sprouts, yellow dried shreds, green leeks, black fungus, red carrots.

Make more toppings, and save half of the evening fried noodles.

There were many people who came in the evening, and the two of them discussed a few dishes, and the comrades-in-arms were not like Xia Lao - they were not very interested in meat when they were old, on the contrary, these people's love for meat was difficult to describe in words.

Finally, I ordered braised pork with bamboo shoots, stir-fried smoked rabbit with garlic leaves, steamed eggs with bacon, stewed taro with bone broth, and a few dishes such as stir-fried seasonal vegetables and peanuts, which should be enough for a table of people.

Among these dishes, the meat stewed with braised pork is bought freshly, and the rest is either hoarded at home or produced in the fields and mountains.

The bamboo shoots were soaked by Secretary Guo's daughter-in-law. Her mother's house is close to Zhushan, and you can see the exposed bamboo shoots everywhere on the bamboo mountain.

During the Chinese New Year, if someone brings out a pot of bamboo shoots and roast pork to entertain relatives and friends, it is very polite.

Yingfang used to dig up bamboo shoots, all of which were part of dried bamboo shoots, part of them soaked in sour bamboo shoots, and the rest were eaten fresh. I didn't know that there was such a way to eat bamboo shoots.

The first time I ate the meat roasted with bamboo shoots, it was simply delicious. So, I privately took millet and brown sugar and asked the secretary's daughter-in-law for a few catties.

The secretary's daughter-in-law smiled from ear to ear.

Not long after her eldest daughter gave birth to a child, millet and brown sugar were simply sent into her heart. Enthusiastically took Yingfang's hand and said, "If you want to eat and come again, it's a big deal that I will go back to my mother's house and carry more fresh bamboo shoots to soak bamboo shoots." ”

Ying Fang thought that it was okay, so that there was another delicious seasonal dish for the New Year. My father and grandfather, who haven't come back from Yuncheng yet, must also like it. So he agreed with the secretary's daughter-in-law: Before the arrival of the new year, I will definitely exchange at least five catties of bamboo shoots with her. The secretary's daughter-in-law agreed with a smile.

To get back to the point, today's roast pork with bamboo shoots, two meals in a row, has been well received by everyone, and they have asked her how to cook it, why the meat is so delicious.

At noon, Xia Lao, who usually only eats one bowl of rice, roasted meat with bamboo shoots, and wanted to add two bowls after eating, which scared the guard, and persuaded him again and again to take it easy, and he couldn't stand it because he couldn't stand it because of his gluttony. Ying Fang packed a bag of bamboo shoots for Xia Lao and asked the guards to make them for Xia Lao to eat in two days. This thing tastes good, but eating too much at once is not necessarily a good thing.

In the evening, the head of the Chen regiment also called it delicious. Especially the head of the group, Chen, who was full of wine, looked around for his mother-in-law, and insisted on letting her find Yingfang to learn from her. Otherwise, every time I come to Xiang's house for a meal, I always feel that I usually eat pig food when I return home...... Balabala. decisively provoked everyone's laughter.

Li Shuangying gave him face and didn't twist his ears on the spot, but it is unknown whether he was punished after returning home.
