On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after breakfast, Old Man Li specially called his second son to the house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Red Army, your mother and your brother are not at home, can you call your eldest brother's family over for dinner during the Chinese New Year this year?" Old man Li knew that this family could not be the master now, so he called his son over to discuss.
Li Hongjun frowned, when the eldest brother's family came, there were more people eating, and his daughter-in-law had to suffer.
Old man Li saw that his son's brows were furrowed, and he thought that he didn't agree, so he hurriedly said: "Our family has been too lonely for more than a year, and we are not popular, now you finally come back and call your eldest brother and them over to get together, there are many boys in his family, so that our family will also be prosperous." In the end, after holding it for a long time, he said again, "They came over for a meal, and they couldn't eat anything." ”
This is the little thing that worries about the second son's distress and the eldest son's family.
Li Hongjun looked at Old Man Li's eyes a little cold, "Dad, these days, several children in my eldest brother's family often come over, and they eat as much as they are fat, and I have never said anything, am I the one who cares about that little thing, you also look up to your son too much." "I was misunderstood by my father like this, he is also heartbroken, he has not spent less these days, and his strength has not been less, why does his father have such thoughts.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to make the house lively. Old man Li's face was a little red, but he couldn't say anything to apologize to his son.
"I also want to be lively at home, but there are too many people, so my daughter-in-law is busy in the kitchen alone, so let my sister-in-law help cook when the time comes. Li Hongjun doesn't feel sorry for that thing, he feels sorry for his daughter-in-law.
"Okay, I'll go and tell your eldest brother later. Old man Li heard his son's consent, and a smile appeared on his face. As for what the son said about letting the eldest daughter-in-law work, it was all a trivial matter, and let them discuss it by themselves.
After Li Hongjun came out, he went to the kitchen to tell his daughter-in-law.
Shen Yunfang didn't say anything, it should be said that he had expected it a long time ago, even if Old Man Li didn't call, it was estimated that Wang Dan would have to bring the child over.
"Okay, everything that should be prepared is almost ready, then stir-fry two more dishes when you come." ”
"Thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law, I'll give you a hand. Li Hongjun saw that there was no one left and right, so he went up and kissed his daughter-in-law on the face. In the past few days, the two of them have slept on a kang with their children, and they don't dare to do intimate things, so Li Hongjun found an opportunity to tease his daughter-in-law.
"Go, go aside, let people see that there is no shame in shame. Shen Yunfang smiled.
"No one saw it, my dad went to my eldest brother's house, and the children went to run away with the dogs, so we were at home. Li Hongjun came over slimy, "Besides, we are husband and wife, so what kind of person is a hot spot." ”
"Oh, stay away from me, don't you see that my hands are dirty, don't rub against you. Shen Yunfang saw that he was really coming, and hurriedly raised his hands high, just now he was cleaning up the chickens.
Today is thirty, and at noon, there will be a whole table of delicious food, chicken, duck and fish must be there. They also bought these things at the market, and they put them in the house to thaw yesterday, and they cleaned up in the morning.
"Don't be afraid, my daughter-in-law is fragrant. Li Hongjun said sweetly.
As soon as he reached out and took his daughter-in-law, who was tied in his arms, he heard the shouts outside.
"Mom, Mom, I'm back, my brother bullied me, you let Dad avenge me. ”
Yes, the little overlord at home is back, and the claws that Li Hongjun just stretched out are withdrawn again.
Old man Li went to the courtyard to inform him, but it turned out that there was a group of children who came with him, and Wang Dan and his family did not come. Old man Li explained that Wang Dan had to clean up the house before he could come over, after all, it was the Chinese New Year, even if he went here to eat, he couldn't leave it at home.
Li Hongjun frowned when he heard this, and his heart was like a mirror, this is the sister-in-law who is lazy.
Shen Yunfang doesn't care, there's nothing to do, and these few people don't have much work.
"What are you frowning for, sister-in-law can't come, you just come over to do chores, don't want to be lazy for the New Year. ”
Li Hongjun didn't say a word, took over the work from his daughter-in-law, sat on a small bench and began to pluck chicken feathers.
It was past ten o'clock that Wang Dan was late.
When he entered the house, he shouted, "Oh, Yunfang, I'm late, what work do you have to do, you tell me, I'll do it, you rest for a while." ”
As soon as Shen Yunfang heard the music, she really gave way, "That's great, sister-in-law, I've been standing here all morning, and Li Hongjun just came over to help me work for a while." Our father just said that you are cleaning up the house at home, and I can't look for you to go, but now it's just right, you come to take over, and I will also clean up the house. ”
Wang Dan was a little dumbfounded when she took the apron, this really made her work.
Shen Yunfang didn't care, after explaining the work to be done, she went back to the house and lay down, standing this morning, she was indeed a little tired.
"Yun Fang, I washed all the vegetables, and then what are you doing?" Wang Dan took an apron, washed all the cabbages on the ground, peeled the potatoes, and hurriedly shouted towards the house.
Shen Yunfang lay on the kang and said lazily: "Sister-in-law, the cabbage should be cut into slices, fry the black cabbage for a while, you take two potatoes and cut them into small pieces, and cut the rest into shreds, and mix them with cold vegetables for a while." ”
After going back and forth like this, it wasn't until after eleven o'clock that Shen Yunfang came out of the house and took over the work of the chef.
Wang Dan's cooking level is known to the family, and in order to have a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Shen Yunfang did not expect Wang Dan to be in charge.
At half past two in the afternoon, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready.
There is a full table, a total of twelve dishes, because it is winter, meat dishes are the majority, and green vegetables are very few.
Old man Li sat in the middle, on the right was Li Hongxing's family of five, and on the right was Li Hongjun's family of four, a total of ten people gathered around a table.
Li Hongjun took out his self-brewed aged liquor and poured it full for Old Man Li and Li Hongxing.
"Master, you hurry up and take a bite first. "The dog is holding chopsticks next to him.
The second uncle just said that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten by the grandfather first before they can follow along. Their family doesn't have such broken rules, but now that people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads.
Old man Li was still holding a small wine cup in his hand, looking at the children below looking at him with blank eyes, he wrinkled an old face and said, "Eat, eat, our family doesn't have so many rules." ”
For Old Man Li, between delicious food and wine, he is still more rare in that wine, that is, there is no big fish and meat, give him a bowl of pickles, he can also drink two taels.
The dog looked at the second uncle, he dared not to listen to his father and mother, and dared not to listen to his grandmother, but this second uncle was amazing, he didn't dare not listen.
Li Hongjun stretched out his chopsticks expressionlessly and took a bite of the dish and put it in his father's bowl, "Eat." He took another chopstick and put it in his daughter-in-law's bowl.
When the children heard that the second uncle said that they could eat it, they went to the meat on the table like a little tiger going down the mountain.
