Hang Chen handed over a basket containing a basket of all kinds of snacks to Second Sister-in-law You's hands, and when Second Sister-in-law You saw so many things, she immediately said politely: "The things I brought here are not enough for the money I carried back."

"It's not worth much, it's just some beans and peanuts and the like! You have a lot of children at home, so it's just right, and I'm also sent here," Wen Xu said with a smile.

At this time, it is a matter of courtesy, and it would be a bit cheesy to really calculate the value of this, and besides, who in Wenjia Village now lacks this kind of food? Not to mention now, even in the past, no one cared about these, they were all villagers who were so calculating that they spread out, and who lost this person!

"Then I'll go?" Second Sister-in-law You is just polite, knowing that Wen Xu is not bad, and there is no need to be polite during the New Year.

Just when Second Sister-in-law You was about to turn around, Li Yumei came out of the kitchen, still holding a sea bowl in her hand, and the sea bowl was full of meatballs that could not be piled up: "His second sister-in-law, slow down, the freshly fried meatballs, this is the fruit of Erhua's labor!"

As she spoke, Li Yumei walked to the side of Second Sister-in-law You, grabbed the edge of the basket with one hand, and poured the balls into the basket with the other.

In the countryside, everyone is not too particular, and almost all of the food used by each family is a bamboo basket, so there is no problem of whether the meat balls are poured into the basket.

"Auntie, you ......," Second Sister-in-law You said with a smile and a smile.

Li Yumei said with a smile: "Your family's meat balls may not be as delicious as this time, because our family has a new laborer" said and stretched out his finger to Erhua, who was still holding a wooden pestle over there.

"Yo, can Erhua work?" Second Sister-in-law You heard Li Yumei say, saw Erhua happy, and at the same time reached out and touched a meatball and put it in her mouth.

Under such a bite, he suddenly felt that a refreshing smell of meat immediately seemed to explode in his mouth, and the juices seeped out along the corners of his mouth at once, and in a hurry, the second sister-in-law immediately bent over, raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.

Standing up again, I was a lot more careful when I bit this time, and I felt that it was delicious, and even my eyebrows jumped up: "It's really delicious, I can hardly taste any ingredients, bite into the fried skin, it's all meat pulp, it's so delicious." As soon as you bite into the pulp, the meat will flow into your mouth, and it will be fresh and tender! Really, the dumplings in the village restaurant are not as good as yours."

"Erhua has a lot of strength, the fat meat is mashed into juice, the fibers of the lean meat are also hammered open, and the whole meat filling is really beaten into meat paste, where can people have so much strength and so much patience to pound the meat like this" Li Yumei said with a smile.

"Then thank you, aunt, I can't stay any longer, there are still things at home, the two daughters-in-law at home are preparing for the festival, I have to go to the side and watch a little, clumsy" You Er's sister-in-law finished eating a meat ball, stretched out her finger and said after instigating it in her mouth.

"Then go slowly!"

"Okay, aunt, you stay, don't send it, what is this official thing to do when you look down and don't look up?"

The two of them walked out of the house while chatting, and after saying a few words, Li Yumei sent You Er's sister-in-law out of the door, and then turned back.

"That's it, don't eat at noon?"

As soon as Li Yumei turned around, she found that Hang Chen was holding a fried small fish and gnawed it, not only Hang Chen, but even Erhua also threw down the work in her hand, holding a fried small fish in both hands, straightening her body and eating it with her brain crooked.

Hang Chen said to Li Yumei while eating: "Mom, it's really delicious, it's very fresh, brother, it won't be MSG, right?"

Wen Xu listened and reached out and ripped off a piece of fried noodles from the fried fish in Hang Chen's hand, this thing is like a fried chicken leg in foreign fast food or something, and if you want to tear the skin at this time, it must be with fish skin. He put the dough and the fish skin in his mouth, and Wen Xu shook his head after tasting it.

"No, it's not the taste of MSG, it's the umami of river fish, the fish that is not fed with feed and antibiotics can fry this taste, the level of the second sister-in-law's fried small fish is really amazing," Wen Xu said, reaching out to tear off another piece of the fried fish that Hang Chen held in his hand.

It's a pity that the girl turned around and gave Wen Xu the back of her head: "If you want to eat it, go get it yourself, why eat me!"

Li Yumei came to the table at this time, took out a fried small fish from the wooden basin, pinched the two ends with both hands, and separated a fried small fish from the middle, the small one with a part of the fish head was kept for herself, and the large one with more meat was handed over to Wen Xu.

"Well, it's really good, I haven't eaten fried fish for a long time" Li Yumei also praised after taking a bite.

Wen Xu listened and asked curiously, "Auntie, you also have fried fish in your hometown?"

"We don't call it fried small fish, we call it noodle wrapping, fish is just one kind, even if it is wrapped in fish, there are sizes, the big ones are bigger than this, and the small ones are some small fish seedlings, and the food is crispy, like big fish eating umami...... At that time, everyone was poor, and the staple foods such as white flour and rice were quite few, and it was estimated that many places ate them like this," Li Yumei said.

Li Yumei was thinking bitterly about the sweetness here, and a voice sounded in the courtyard again: "Is Daxu at home?"

As soon as Wen Xu heard that the third brother Wen Shida's daughter-in-law, who was also Lu Xiu, was here, she immediately walked to the door, opened the door and said to Lu Xiu in the courtyard: "Third sister-in-law, what are you doing when you come out on a cold day?

While talking about Wen Xu, he welcomed Lu Xiu into the house.

When Lu Xiu entered the house, like You's second sister-in-law, she was carrying a basket, and the basket was also covered with a piece of sand cloth.

"I don't know if your family has made some noodles and fruits to eat, I fried some of them myself, so I thought of sending some to your family," Lu Xiu said and uncovered the basket.

Wen Xu was immediately shocked by a basket of small fruits, the simple crispy fruit Wen Xu knew how to get it, and the noodles were fried in the pot, but cat ears, snow cakes filled with bean paste, such things were not something Wen Xu could handle.

"Third sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to have this craft!" Wen Xu pinched a cat ear and threw it into his mouth.

Cat ears are the common name of Wen Xu's hometown, and the name of cat ears may come from the fruit look, like cat ears, which are generally wrapped in rock sugar, but Lu Xiu improved it, and it was filled with honey, although it was not as good as the black honey in Wen Xu's house, but it was also good honey, and it smelled of osmanthus in the mouth. When this thing was eaten in my mouth, I first bit into the fragrant and rustling glutinous rice flour, and then I heard a crisp sound of clicking, and after biting through the shell, the bees inside flowed out.

Lu Xiu heard Wen Xu's praise and smiled and said: " In the past, my father did this, during the New Year's festival or the big gathering, he would make some to sell on the street, in the past, our children always ate secretly, but as soon as they were found, they would be beaten, when I was a child, I thought this thing was the best thing, and now I think this thing is too sweet to put rock sugar, I changed it to honey, your third brother said that it tastes good, let me send a little to you to taste, know your mouth, if you can eat it, I will also send some to the second sister-in-law and their families."

"It's delicious, it's really delicious! It has the taste of what I ate when I was a child, and it was still handmade, but now it's all machines, and it has lost its original taste. Thank you, third brother and third sister-in-law, then I can only give you a little vulgar here! You know my brother, I am a lazy person" Wen Xu hurriedly stretched out his hands and took the basket, turned his head and gave it to Hang Chen.

"Yo, your family also fried a small fish, this little fish is fried well, I look like the second sister-in-law's craftsmanship!"

"Where our house was blown up, it was sent by his second sister-in-law, we don't have such a thing!" Li Yumei said with a smile.

"I can't blow up this thing either, our head of the house said that the second sister-in-law fried this thing the best in the whole village, and the second sister-in-law sent it over before she finished speaking...... Lu Xiu smiled.

Hang Chen was already cooked, so he made a basket and put it in Lu Xiu's basket and handed it to Wen Xu's hand.

Wen Xu didn't answer at all: "Such a big child doesn't have any eyes at all, send it back to the third sister-in-law!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Wen Xu say this, Hang Chen immediately happily picked up the basket.

When Lu Xiu heard this, he immediately said: "No, no! It's all a family polite! I'm not ten months or eight months, now I have to learn from your daughter-in-law Shang Zhen to walk around more every day, exercise more and strengthen her physique!"

"You wander around, you wander around, let Hang Chen send this thing to you, you should do me a favor, when I saw her in the morning, my head was bigger, hurry up and take her away" Wen Xu said jokingly.

"You think I want to see you!" Hang Chen pouted: "Third sister-in-law, is Katsuo not at home?"

After asking, I saw Lu Xiu nodding, and went out with a basket.

Lu Xiu saw her go out, thanked her again and went back.

In the next few hours, even if it was lunch time, there was no broken person, either this one sent something to this or that one sent Zhong'er, when I got up in the morning, there was still a New Year's thing, and in the evening, I found that there was no need to buy anything else this year, from melons, fruits, pears and peaches to bacon sausages, and there were a lot of piles in the whole living room.

The consequence was that Wen Xu originally bought a lot of snacks, as well as the stone mortar that Erhua had pestled for a day, and Dahua served a day's plate and spent the meat balls made by a small half pig, but there was no one left in his own house, and they all went to someone else's house as a return gift. In the end, Li Yumei had to take out the pork belly in the refrigerator and fry a pot of meatballs, radish balls and the like after dinner.

"There is really a New Year's flavor here, too enthusiastic, a bit like the previous New Year, each family walks diligently and quickly, where it seems to be in the community now, maybe the neighbors have not met, each door for a day, the party is even the New Year, there is no human touch" Li Yumei said that although she fried the balls for a day today, her spirit was very good, and she praised Wenjia Village for the New Year.

Shi Shangzhen said with a smile: "The village is already so big, and it is naturally a little more lively as a family, where can the atmosphere of the festival in the city be compared with here, they all sweep the snow in front of the door! This year, our village also has to have a little human touch, and everyone who celebrates the New Year here has some things in the village! If there are children here, we will also prepare small lantern pets, and let the people who celebrate the festival in our Wenjia Village also feel the human touch."

Speaking of this, Shi Shangzhen said to Wen Xu: "By the way, tomorrow, you still have a task for you in the village in the morning!"

"Give it to me?" Wen Xu asked curiously, "What task can I have?"

"What is your task? Your task is to hang up the lanterns with all the men in the village, and our village will also give him a city that never sleeps during the Chinese New Year, not only on both sides of the main road, but also on the trees at the entrance of the village, and hang lanterns......," Shi Shangzhen said.

When Wen Xu heard that this was the case, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Shi Shangzhen looked at Xiao Yao again: "Xiao Yao, don't run around tomorrow, go to Grandpa Tai and ask Grandpa Tai to write some blessing characters, as well as fortune and treasure, just write two words for each of them."

"Why bother the old man, this thing is all in the house, including the couplet, and the harsh winter has been sent over" Wen Xu said that the couplet or something was sent by the telephone engineering department.

Wen Xu thought about what to do if he had all of them, and bothered the old man.

"This is a tradition at home, couplets can not be written, but fortune and treasure, the word Fu, especially the word Fu on the door of the house, must be written by grandpa," Shi Shangzhen insisted.

Wen Xu didn't say anything when he heard it, and said to Xiao Yao: "You will do this tomorrow!"

"Okay!"
