In the end, a group of men began to put things outside, and the three women and the girl went back to the house to change their clothes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This New Year, it is expected to be very lively!
Xi'er's original worries dissipated like dark clouds, and she even began to look forward to her first New Year in this world.
Originally, Tian Yuliang and Li Ying were cleaning the house, and the roof built with wheat straw would hang ash for a long time.
There were hundreds of bunches of gray and black things hanging from the roof, like bunches of grapes, and although Xi'er cleaned them often, the smoke and dust and cobwebs always reappeared the next day.
Li Ying swept in front with a broom, and Tian Yuliang pinned the leaves of the paulownia tree into the beam one by one in the back, which also looked quite different.
At this time, Li Ying went into the house to help Gu Liya change her clothes, and the work of cleaning up was handed over to Dong Liang and Wu Hao, and Li Haipeng and Tian Yuliang pinned the leaves behind.
The roof, which had been blackened by boiled animal feed, even smelled a little bit of aboriginal after being pinned with leaves.
Xi'er's room was newly built, so she didn't need to clean it for the time being, and at this time, all the food was basically moved to her room.
The whole room was filled with the smell of candy preserves, and even the air was filled with a sweet smell.
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone is rolling up their sleeves and working in full swing regardless of the cold weather.
Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi were also very busy at this time, although they didn't have to clean the house, but the furniture at home was not completely made.
Zhang Qing thought that he could be rushed out before the year, but Old Man Tian went over to help, and the cooperation during this time formed a quite tacit understanding.
On this day, everyone ate at Xi'er's house, and the remaining two days were the woman's life, and the educated youths decided to go back and clean up their kennels.
Fortunately, the weather was good in the past two days, and everyone took out the quilts to dry.
Xi'er has already done these things in front, the sun is very big in the space, and the hard-working housekeeper of the golden retriever ensures that each quilt is soft and warm, and there is a strong smell of the sun.
When Li Ying came to see that her daughter was no worse than herself, she was both proud and guilty in her heart.
Tian Cheng, this kid, has become Zhang Yi's little follower when he comes here, who makes people better than him.
What kind of wooden pistol, bamboo dragonfly, just come with your hands, and then look at the mud ball in your hand, your heart will suffer 10,000 points!
The conditions at home were good, and when Xi'er rushed to the market, she bought a few more kerosene lamps, still with lampshades.
In this way, even at night, when everyone is keeping the New Year, the house will not be too dark.
At night, everyone ate and drank enough, so they went back to their respective homes, this time Xi'er's parents came over, Gu Liya was embarrassed to continue to sleep in bed, Li Haipeng They hugged her quilt and cotton clothes and sent her back.
Early in the morning, the smell of food fills the village.
Even the poorest families should start preparing for Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal at this time.
Li Ying is a native of Beijing, so this Chinese New Year has a special flavor in Beijing, and she began to boil croquettes early in the morning.
Carotene meatballs, Sixi meatballs, fried pork ribs, fried hairtail, boiled meat skin jelly with meat skin and soybeans, steamed rice flour meat, boiled with Sichuan pepper and star anise cinnamon to make two or three feet square fat white meat cubes.
In the foggy winter, Li Ying was so busy unbuttoning her padded jacket that her forehead was sweating.
Tian Cheng slipped away early and disappeared, and Xi'er began to squat in the stove room after breakfast, giving her mother a hand to light the fire.
At this time, the benefits of the renovation of the stove room are shown, the large pot of braised meat, the small pot of croquettes, and the hot water in the middle of the urn can be used to wash and wash at any time.
Li Ying kept praising the stove room for being well renovated, and the oil smoke was directly taken away by the chimney, so as to prevent women from being burned by the smoke inside.
The underground fire is strong, the bottom of the pot is heated evenly, and the cooking time is saved by more than half, and it is worry-free.
Li Ying chatted with Xi'er while cooking, and the two mothers and daughters were in the kitchen, and under the influence of the aroma of food, their emotions continued to heat up.
Tian Yuliang heard the laughter inside outside, and his heart was also itchy, so he sneaked in from time to time, took a look, and asked them what they were laughing at.
Then Xi'er could only pick up the conversation and say it again, and then Tian Yuliang also laughed.
Eventually, every now and then a person would come into the kitchen.
Tian Cheng and Zhang Yi smelled the fragrance and came in to steal their mouths, Tian Yuliang and the old man felt that it was not interesting to be outside, so they came in from time to time to rub the topic.
Later, Li Ying simply assigned an errand to the two of them, and took the chickens in the cage to Zhang Qing's house to kill.
The mother and daughter have a bunch of things on their hands, and a few big men have nothing to do, and they come in from time to time to make trouble.
In the end, even Zhang Qing was assigned an errand to fry peanuts and sweet potato chips.
It can only be said that Li Ying is very far-sighted, and the one and a half acres of land she and Tian Yuliang shared were all used to grow these miscellaneous grains.
Soybeans, peanuts, and even a few rows of sweet potatoes are planted on the edge of the field, which are specially prepared for the children's New Year's tooth festival.
After the sweet potatoes are harvested, the perineum is dried, and when the sugar content of the sweet potatoes increases, the sweet potatoes are sliced with a special planer, dried and stored.
Zhang Qing's job is to put the sun-dried sweet potato chips and sand into the pot and stir-fry them until the potato chips are golden brown and there are some irregular swelling points on them, and the fragrant, crispy and sweet potato chips are fried.
Tian Cheng and Zhang Yi volunteered to help him, and now it's okay, the kitchen is finally quiet, and the two mothers and daughters can talk quietly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Poor Gao Xian'er didn't have a chance to come out with Xi'er to catch fish and shrimp until the end of the year.
On the twenty-seventh and eighth days of the lunar month, adults will detain children and not let them go around.
At this time, the door-to-door preparations for the New Year's goods are being carried out, and it is very impolite for the children to visit the door at this time in the eyes of adults.
However, the official statement of the adults is that at this time, the children are confined to work at home, and you have no time to play with you when you go.
Xi'er originally didn't like to go to the door, Tian Cheng and Zhang Yi were just playing with themselves, and they didn't go to the village at all.
The destructive power of these two boys is amazing, they have been conspiring together every day for the past few days, and they don't know what they are planning.
Fortunately, Zhang Yi is sensible and will not do anything particularly out of the ordinary, so everyone will toss with the two of them.
In the past few days, Tian Cheng and Zhang Yi have eaten and slept together every day, inseparable, and Xi'er laughed at them for becoming conjoined babies.
At that time, Zhang Qing was still curious to ask what a conjoined baby was?
After listening to Xi'er's explanation, everyone looked more and more alike, only to see that the faces of the two were dark, and they looked at each other with disgust.
made a bunch of people laugh...... Only then did he know that he had been tricked, and he pounced on him to seek justice.
The kung fu of the three-legged cat, where is Zhang Qing's opponent, he was pressed on the kang in three or two clicks, and Xi'er stepped forward and began to itch all kinds of until she shouted for mercy.
Cat Niuer said
Today's two watches, Guangzhou today from the summer directly into the winter, the cat has not had time to change the quilt, take a nap at noon and curl up into a ball, mom~~~ This taste, too sour.
