The little couple rode their bicycles all the way home, walked in the door, and giggled non-stop.

When the grandmother heard that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law had returned, she called them into her house. There are a lot of cut blessing characters, window flowers, magpies and so on on the kang edge of the house, all of which are some auspicious objects. Zhang Xiaoqiang admired her grandmother's good craftsmanship, and looked at them one by one like observing a work of art.

Grandma took out a very special window flower, Zhang Xiaoqiang took a closer look, and it turned out that she and Li Aobai were silhouettes. The expressions are very similar, which can be expressed more than just admiration.

Grandma said, "This is what I gave you, and I hope you can love and love you for the rest of your life." I want to report my great-grandson sooner! ”

Li Aobai said: "Grandma, I must let you hug it, don't worry!" ”

Grandma said, "That's good, good boy." ”

Coming out of the grandmother's house, the little couple pasted the silhouettes of the two people cut by the grandmother in their own room, and then smirked at them.

"Oh, Mom, I'm so tired that my feet are about to break." Shen Cuihua's voice came from the courtyard.

I saw that she carried a large bag of things, including door gods, incense wax, paper watches, firecrackers, couplets or something, and Li Aobai took the things in his mother's hand.

Shen Cuihua said: "You young people don't understand the rural customs of the New Year, and those years will be over. She pointed to the courtyard and said, "I thought you weren't coming back this year, and I didn't clean your house when you cleaned the house, and I finished cleaning up everything else." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang muttered in her heart, what did you sweep. It's not much different from not cleaning.

Li Aobai took out the bits and pieces that his mother bought and pasted them with his daughter-in-law. The land lord and the land lady are pasted in the yard. The Stove is sticking in the kitchen. The dragon lord sticks to the top of the water tank. One person brushes the paste, one person pastes, and it's done quickly.

Zhang Xiaoqiang has passed so many Spring Festivals, and this is the first time this year, and it is estimated that every household is like this.

Li Dabiao specially told him to smear some honey on the mouth of the Stove God, and Zhang Xiaoqiang did so. That's it, pointing to him to heaven and saying good things. Bring the joys and joys of the world to the sky, so that the gods can also envy the happy life on earth.

Zhang Yang and Li Jun pasted couplets together, and Li Aobai hung lanterns. Then. Lanterns are hung at the door of every house in the village, and there is a joyful scene.

Shen Cuihua took back the dry noodles she had changed and put them in the kitchen, she was still muttering that Li Xiangxiang was not there. How nice it would be if my daughter was here.

Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that in the heart of this mother. With such an excellent son in front of her, she didn't pay attention to it at all. Ignore the mother-in-law and let her mumble.

Li Dabiao turned around and went out, exchanged corn for some tofu and bean sprouts, and then said to his daughter-in-law: "Tomorrow I will start preparing some dishes for the New Year, your sister Xianglan's family is back in the second year of junior high school, so I have to entertain it." and on the fifth day of the new year, your grandmother's house also came. Prepare it in advance and put it on. ”

Seemingly. This father-in-law and mother-in-law only have their own daughter in their hearts.

Zhang Xiaoqiang walked into the kitchen, and there were some dishes on the board that she bought when she came back, as well as some dishes prepared by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, which was full of boards.

For the Chinese New Year, steaming steamed buns is a must, and all prepare some fillings for the buns first. She washed the radish, meat, tofu, vermicelli, and green onions, chopped them and put them in a larger basin.

Then the materials for the whistle were also prepared and put on separately. Because the whistle noodles are the main meal for entertainers, a bowl of spicy and fragrant whistle noodles symbolizes red fire and warmth.

Finally, the meat must be stewed first, whether it is stir-fried or used to make a whistle.

Zhang Yang came to help his sister, he felt that in other people's homes, he had to work more and have long eyes. Sensible children are always doing that diligently.

The two sisters and brothers were busy in the kitchen, Li Aobai came over several times in the middle, but Zhang Xiaoqiang blocked back, saying that he didn't need his help.

The meat was tumbling in the pot, gurgling and fragrant.

Zhang Xiaoqiang took advantage of this time to send a large pot of noodles first, put it in a small pot at the back, and added some warm water to it.

The meat was stewed, and half a pot of whistles was fried. At this time, Li Aobai came in and said, "Qiang'er, can we eat whistle noodles in the afternoon, I want to eat whistle noodles you made." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Of course there is no problem. ”

It's getting late, it's getting dark. Everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year, and they didn't feel that it was time to have lunch.

It just so happened that there was a replacement of dried noodles, and Zhang Xiaoqiang began to make whistle noodles.

Take out the noodles from the small pot in the back and put them on the hot kang in your room. Then I started to make the whistle soup, and put it in a small pot at the back, and the oil flowers floated on a layer, and there were leek leaves on top.

The cauldron began to lay down, and Li Aobai had already asked everyone to sit in the hall and wait. Zhang Yang took the salt, vinegar, and spicy food. Once the noodles are cooked, remove them into a bowl, pour a whistle over them, and bring them to the table.

As soon as Shen Cuihua saw that she was eating whistle noodles today, she yelled directly: "What's the matter with you little two, you can only eat things that are only good for hospitality, you will eat them greedily today." ”

Li Aobai said: "I want to eat it, so I let my daughter-in-law make it." It's cold and hot, and it's not nothing. The hospitality is ready, you can rest assured. ”

When she heard her son say this, she felt very uncomfortable. The son, who has been raised for more than 20 years, speaks to his daughter-in-law everywhere.

Grandma spoke: "I said Da Biao's daughter-in-law, our harvest this year is good, there should be no shortage of white noodles, since it has been made, let's eat it." Don't waste the baby's craftsmanship and heart, come and eat together. ”

Grandma is reasonable and amiable, as soon as she speaks, Shen Cuihua is silent.

This first pot of noodles was not enough to eat at all, and the second pot was served, and Shen Cuihua was distressed to death.

Rural people eat with a big old bowl, one bowl per person, how many noodles do you need? She kept counting this, oh my god, what if she was going to eat like this.

After eating, Zhang Xiaoqiang boiled a pot of hot water and washed all the dishes and chopsticks. It was still Zhang Yang's help back and forth, Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Yangwa, stay for a few more days, and then leave after the New Year." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Sister, it's okay. Grandma Li is so kind to me. You weren't here today, so she found a few more clothes from her brother's childhood and mended them. ”

Yes, Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen have never experienced what the warmth of home is since they were children. Zhang Chen has never eaten milk since he was born, and he has always been fed with batter, and he often can't eat enough.

Since she has this grandmother of the Li family, she not only makes shoes for the two children, but also mends clothes, and takes Zhang Chen into her arms several times to tell stories. Zhang Xiaoqiang saw these in her eyes and was grateful in her heart. (To be continued.) )
