Qiao Lan peeled some raw chestnuts and prepared to make a chestnut roast chicken on Chinese New Year's Eve, which tasted good.
Finally, when he was twenty-nine years old, he got up early in the morning and saw the snow white all over the world, although the snow was not too thick, but fortunately, it was half a foot, and the old man Li seemed very happy, smiling all day.
"Now you can rest assured, I don't know if the county master will think that there is something wrong with the two of us and deliberately run to show off. The old lady ran out to look at the sky, and teased the old man with a smile on her face.
Old man Li shook his head, "No, this year's snow is half smaller than before, and it comes later, the county master is a person from Beijing, and there are capable people around him, whether I am right or not, he will naturally go back to judge him, don't worry." ”
"Yes, just go back and ask Chuanhu. ”
Xuewen and Xuewu swept the yard clean, Qingyuan and Qinggang followed Qiaolan to build a snowman at the gate of the yard, and a radish was stuffed on their noses.
Clean the house today, and boil water to bathe the whole family, so as to welcome the New Year cleanly.
In the past few days, Qiaolan has stepped up her work and made a very beautiful dress for Xiaoling's sister-in-law, and a dress for her grandparents, parents, and parents, using the fabric brought back by Xuewen.
Chuanhu came over early in the morning, "Grandparents have a good New Year." ”
"Huzi is here, have you eaten?" the old lady smiled and nodded.
"No, I'll tell grandpa, the county lord said that you are like a god, although it snowed this year, but it is indeed much smaller than in the past, and the snow is not thick enough, the county lord said that he has written a letter to Beijing to prepare to allocate a little money to dig the canal, and he will dig the canal in the coming year. ”
"Really, that's great, that's a great thing, although we are close to the dock, but many villages do not have rivers in front of them, and they are still a little far away, if we can dig them all up, it will be a good thing for the people." Old man Li looked very happy.
"Well, the county magistrate is young and wants to do a career, you can rest assured, this is a great achievement for the county magistrate and Shangfeng, and they are definitely willing to do it. Chuanhu took the porridge bowl handed over by Li's mother.
"That's good, that's good, that's great, let's meet the master of Qingtian, do things for our people, God opens his eyes to bless us Daqingshan." Old man Li smiled, his eyes were full of joy and relief.
"Well, this is the blessing of our Daqingshan. Chuanhu snorted and drank Li rice porridge, salted duck eggs and side dishes, and ate two big buns.
"I'm leaving, I'm going to help my second uncle work, and I'll come back to you for the New Year. Chuanhu was about to leave in a hurry, and it looked like he was going up the mountain.
"Okay, be careful. ”
"Got it. ”
The family of the second uncle in Chinese New Year's Eve had already picked up and came over to help prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the ladies were busy talking and laughing in the kitchen, and the masters were talking in the house, talking about what kind of plans and prospects the coming year would be.
This year, there are more Wang family members of four, and there are many people in the house, and the children are chattering together, following the adults to paste couplets, and they are busy running before and after.

A table of dishes is extremely rich, everyone sits together, the old man Li drank the old man Li's own brewed grain wine and aging, the old lady and Mother Li they had fun drinking the scalded green plum wine, this is the only remaining point, and then want to drink it until the green plum comes down.
His family's wine is the best to drink, only a little bit of good wine is left, and the rest has to be sold for a little income to supplement the family, green plum wine is not sold, in fact, green plum wine is not cheap and the price is quite high, but the old man hurts the children, knowing that the ladies in the family love to drink this mouthful, and the wife also likes to drink this, and every time it is brewed, it is saved for himself to drink.
"The plum wine is so delicious, brother. Qiaolan's little face flushed, and she coquettishly played to her brothers.

"In the spring, I went to the mountains to dig, dug up the flowers and herbs and transplanted them together, and got a few more plum trees, which is still very good. Xuewen also smiled and nodded.
"There are more mothers to sell, more variety. Qiao Lan grinned, a little drunk.
"This girl doesn't drink well and likes to take a sip, she's drunk. Zhao also smiled.
The Chinese New Year's Eve had to keep the year, and Qiao Lan had eaten and had almost the same strength after eating, and ran to the yard with a few children in Qingyuan to set off a cannon battle, which was used to coax the children on the day of Chuanhu.
Eating dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mother Li wrapped several kinds of fillings, the meat was fragrant and delicious.
Before eating, you have to worship the ancestors, of course, the ancestors of the Li family, after going to the ancestral grave, the children began to play, at this time, every household will not block the children from playing, will give a handful of melon seeds, peanuts or something for the children to eat.
Even the poorest families rarely have children coming for a snack, which is a face and a blessing, and they stubbornly believe that innocent children will bring hope and good luck in the new year.
During the Chinese New Year, the children are almost not at home, this family catches a twist flower, that family eats two dumplings, three eats two meals on the stomach, turns around and goes to play, until it is dark and does not hear the shouts of adults, it will not go home.
Qingyuan led Qinggang Chunni to play somewhere, and he couldn't find anyone for a long time.
Qiao Lan was cooking in the house and heard a shout outside, "Is Qiao Lan at home?"
"I'm sitting in the house. Qiao Lan responded and went out of the house to welcome the guests.
"It's Xiuhua, good New Year, your new clothes are so beautiful. Qiaolan seems to know everyone, a village named Xiuhua, wearing a new dress of red cloth, combing with big braids, looking very energetic.
"I'm here to greet you. Xiuhua smiled.
"Sit in the house. Qiao Lan warmly beckoned people into the house to warm up.
