Chapter 21: Chinese New Year's Eve

"The five lakes and all the seas are spring, thousands of rivers and mountains are full of brilliance, horizontal criticism: Vientiane is renewed! Good word! It has the charm of Yan Zhenqing, the book is vigorous and vigorous, and the atmosphere is majestic, but the pen power is slightly jerky and insufficient, and the momentum is slightly immature. Standing outside the courtyard, Zheng Wen, who was touching his goatee, nodded while praising and commenting, and said to the old man regretfully: "Tianci can never be delayed, it is a last resort to put down books during this time, and when it is stable, I must send Tianci to re-enter the private school." With these two words alone, it is already rare, and ninety out of nine can get the guarantee of the student to be admitted to Xiucai. ”

How can the old man Wu not know the reason, the current situation is causing trouble, God gives this child bad luck!

Wu Nuandong listened to the chatter of the two old men in the thatched house, and watched Zhou tear a large piece of red paper into small sheets, and the torn red paper was folded a few times in the hands of Qian and Zhao, and then tore into auspicious patterns casually.

The thatched huts and shacks had no windows, and the curtains were pasted on the walls and curtains by the children, and soon the smell of festivity in the courtyard became stronger, and everywhere was full of prosperity.

Wu Shanhe was holding a snow-white white rabbit, staring at Wu Nuandong jumping up and down against the window flowers under the leadership of Wu Chunxi, but he didn't dare to approach.

Tian Huilan stared at Wushanhe urgently outside the shack, and when she saw that Wushanhe was just about to take a step, she shouted: "Xiaoshan, come back, it's windy outside, your face is not good, come back quickly!" ”

Wu Shanhe pouted, and walked towards Tian Huilan reluctantly. Qian and Wu Tianxin glanced at each other, helpless.

"Xiaoshan, come here, and the milk has made you a new dress."

Tian Huilan looked at her mother-in-law with a smile on her face, and finally didn't say anything, Wu Shanhe has reached the age of knowing how to look at her face, and when she saw her mother's expressionless face, she understood that her mother was unwilling. Remembering the appearance of his mother holding his hand tightly behind his back and crying, he shook his head, and the previous joy was gone, "Milk, Xiaoshan went back to the house and lay down, and when the wind is gone, Xiaoshan will go to find milk and put on new clothes." ”

"Hey! Good boy! Qian naturally saw Wu Shanhe's embarrassment, that is, he was pleased with his grandson's sensibility and worried about his performance. After Wu Shanhe obediently returned to the shack, a thin face was not smiling, and Xiumu stared at Tian Huilan coldly, until Tian Huilan lowered her head slightly cramped and returned to the shack.

"Big sister!" Zhao hesitated to call out to Qian, and Qian smiled bitterly: "As long as Xiaoshan is not difficult to do, let her be!" "Tian's dissatisfaction, resentment and weakness of heart towards Wu Nuandong are in her eyes one by one, but what can she do? Nuan Nuan obviously knew that she was wrong, and she had been trying her best to compensate Xiaoshan recently, and Xiaoshan also wanted to get close to Nuan Nuan but didn't dare, it was really hard for the two children. Tian is not even as good as a child, and he still can't let go of his knot, and he is drifting away from his relatives. The Qian family still doesn't know that Tian Huilan has maliciously fed the smallpox virus to Nuan Nuan, if she knew, she would immediately take out her mother-in-law's style and forcefully deprive Tian Huilan of her qualification to raise Wu Shanhe. How can such a vicious woman raise a child well!

Tian Huilan is also weak-hearted, so she is very evasive in front of the Wu family, and her relatives are seriously ill during this time, and she has a desire to control her son.

The men of the samurai family are not delicate, and they did not notice the changes between the women, and set up a large wooden round frame as a table, and the whole family, regardless of gender, had a few simple dishes on the night of the vigil and drank wine, and the boys ran to the courtyard to happily fiddle with the bamboo after eating a few bites.

"Nuan Nuan, come, take a sip of wine and taste it!" Old man Wu dipped his chopsticks in the liquor and handed it to Wu Nuandong in his arms, Wu Nuandong was very appreciative, and then his little face wrinkled into a bun, "Grandpa is so spicy!" ”

Listening to the old man and a few adults laughing loudly, Wu Qiuzhi helplessly raised his chopsticks and hurriedly fed his little sister a mouthful of fatty and greasy meat, "Quick, eat meat!" ”。

Wu Nuandong used to not eat fatty meat, and many modern girls don't like to eat it, but now that there is a lack of food and clothing, it is a great blessing to be able to eat meat.

The meat is fat but not greasy, the original taste, Zhao's cooking skills are much better than Qian's, especially when making meat, even the old meat can be cooked rotten.

"Delicious!" Wu Nuandong smiled and squinted, struggled from the old man's arms, picked up a piece of fish maw with chopsticks and put it in the old man's bowl, "Grandpa eats steamed fish." ”

"Uncle and aunt, fat pork belly."

"The second uncle and the second aunt eat chicken legs and chicken wings."

"The fish eyes that Uncle God likes."

……

"Sister-in-law Tian and Xiaoshan eat meat dumplings."

"The third brother eats cold wild vegetables."

Several children couldn't stay and were all taken out by Wu Xingchuan, only Wu Qiuzhi was not in good health, and was firmly stared at by adults to eat, so he was used to being quiet, so that he didn't like to go out as much as ordinary boys. Even during the holidays, he was like a little adult, sitting next to the old man, and when the old man couldn't take care of Nuan Nuan when he was drinking and chatting, he would feed Nuan Nuan a chopstick from time to time.

"Yo! Nuan Nuan, why do you eat wild vegetables for Qiuzhi! The second uncle deliberately teased Wu Nuandong, chewing Wu Nuandong's chicken leg in his mouth, and his eyes were smiling.

"That's it, Nuan Nuan, how can you clip chicken feet without meat for your father?" Wu Tiande took a sip of wine with his chicken paws, his mouth full of depression.

Wu Nuandong was speechless, why are adults all of this problem, nothing to tease the child and something to educate the child, "Didn't you say that you can make up for what to eat, didn't you twist your finger the day before yesterday?" ”

Burst! Zheng Wenjiu squirted! This warm little mouth really makes people cry and laugh, chicken feet are better than human hands, and she can't think of it.

Wu Tiande was just about to stare at Wu Nuandong when he was suffocated back by the old man's angry eyes, and the old man choked up: "Hurry up and eat your claws, you are squeamish, and let Nuan Nuan remember, not ashamed!" ”

"That's right. Dad, second uncle, Nuan Nuan not only remembers what everyone likes to eat, but also remembers that a few days ago, Grandpa Zheng instructed me to eat everything and not be picky, so he gave me wild vegetables. "Wu Qiuzhi didn't like to eat vegetarian dishes since he was a child, and he rarely lacked meat when he was good, but his body was weak and his body was full of fire, and eating too much meat was not good, and he was prone to lung fire, that is, Wu Nuandong gave him chopsticks, otherwise he would not easily move vegetarian dishes. Even if he doesn't like to eat, he can see that his father and second uncle are embarrassed by the little sister, his little face croaked down first, and quickly explained for Wu Nuandong, and he ate the vegetables in one bite, and after swallowing it reluctantly, he raised a smile and enthusiastically recommended, "Uncle, second uncle, father, little uncle, you also eat, the wild vegetables mixed by the eldest aunt are delicious!" ”

Zheng Wen laughed again, this kid is also a black-bellied master, didn't he see that the faces of the four brothers of the martial arts family were black! Men love to eat meat, especially men who practice martial arts, and they are even more panicked about meat, vegetables and wild vegetables can be avoided, if it weren't for the lack of vegetables in disaster years, and Zheng Wen specially instructed that the nutrition was balanced, they were afraid that they wouldn't even look at the wild vegetables.

"Uncle, second uncle, father, little uncle, you eat!" Wu Nuandong cooperated with one person with a chopstick, impartiality, and then secretly smiled at Wu Qiuzhi.

Wu Tianxin and Wu Tianci glanced at their two younger brothers (elder brothers) with resentment, obviously they had suffered an unwarranted disaster, and they were warm and warm little villains, and they even reorganized their uncles (little uncles) together.

Although the dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal are small, there are only steamed two river fish, a bowl of braised wild boar, a bowl of wild vegetables stewed with hare, roe deer and mountain chicken, and a plate of cold bamboo shoot mixed vegetables.

The fish and wild boar meat were all eaten, and the remaining wild vegetables and mixed meat were mixed by the two aunts, added with oil residue, chopped into meat filling and began to make dumplings.
