On this day, Father Qin and Xiaojun also stayed at home and helped together, in fact, Xiaojun was only five years old and didn't know how to do anything, so let Xiaobao and Xiaojun play on the side, just keep Xiaobao from making trouble.

After breakfast, I began to prepare the dishes for noon, washed everything to be washed, cut the things that should be cut, and waited until noon, just done. Most of the dishes at noon were handed over to Lin He, and Lin He himself was also interested in cooking, but he was still too short and the stove was too high, so it was a little difficult.

In the end, Lin He moved a small wooden stool and put it underneath, stood on it himself, and then let Dabao and Xiao Chen lay hands on the side, handed over things, Erniu lit the fire, and Huang was responsible for cutting vegetables.

The first is to make braised pork ribs, braised pork ribs cut a relatively large piece, Lin He first put some oil in the pot, wait for the oil to heat up, and then put the ribs in the pot, put peppers, garlic and these things, put them in the pot and stir-fry them, wait for the water vapor in the ribs to dry up, and then put them out, and then put them in other small pots and steam them with fire, and they can be eaten after steaming.

The rest of the stir-fry like these is very simple, and in less than half an hour, a few small stir-fry are made quickly. In the end, Lin He also fried a plate of chicken and duck sent by Uncle Wen with chili peppers, and the courtyard was full of vegetable fragrance, and Father Qin smelled it in the courtyard, and said with a smile, "He'er's cooking skills are good, and it makes people drool when they smell it." ”

Erniu also said with a smile on the side, "Child, mother, you see, He'er is young, and the stir-fry is decent, after a while, I'm afraid your cooking skills won't be able to catch up with He'er." ”

Huang smiled and said, "That's good, in the future, our family will let He'er cook, and I can be idle." In the future, I will concentrate on my embroidery work, and I still wish I could. ”

The whole family was in a burst of laughter, had lunch, and in the afternoon they were busy making dumplings, and the dumplings had to be prepared more, and then every morning before the third year of junior high school was to eat dumplings.

This washing vegetables, chopping stuffing for a while busy making dumplings, making dumplings Lin He is willing, Lin He has learned from people before, and will make many different kinds of dumplings. Lin He wrapped some goldfish dumplings and put them on the plate, but they were very popular with a few small ones, and said that he would eat the dumplings made by the second sister in the evening.

The dumpling fillings in Lin He's house are all made by Lin He, which is different from ordinary people's homes, and the dumplings of ordinary people in this era are only put a little bit of meat, and the others are assured of radish, cabbage and the like, which tastes like a big radish, and there is really no taste of dumplings.

The dumpling filling made by Lin He, even if it is a vegetarian dumpling, is dripping some lard into it, and it tastes very fragrant.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family ate dumplings, and their bellies were round, and they shouted that they were delicious, indicating that they still had to eat, especially Linhe's goldfish dumplings were particularly popular.

Only Dabao and Daddy Qin and Erniu were left, and Daddy Qin saw Xiaojun sleeping on the side, and said that he went to sleep, and he was too old to stay up late, so he also took Xiaojun to sleep in his room.

Here, the Huang family was sewing the hand warmer for Lin He, because the Huang family knew how to make the hand warmer, so he helped make some, and the appearance of the toy puppet embroidered on it still depended on Lin He to do it himself.

Early the next morning, a firecracker woke Lin He up, it turned out that his father set off firecrackers at the gate of the courtyard, firecrackers in this era are very expensive, ordinary people will not buy them, but Erniu said that his family built a new house this year, or spent some money to buy some firecrackers to come back to Wangyiwang.

It didn't take long for the Huang family to get up and tell these little buns to get up, saying that they were going to get up quickly to greet the elders, Lin Chen got up and said, "Get up and pay New Year's greetings to your father, you can get the New Year's money." ”

Dabao's clothes are the most ordinary, because Dabao is a big child, so he makes ordinary scholar clothes, and his hair is tied up with a turban, which looks very spiritual.

Lin He's clothes are made by himself, Lin He's own clothes are more special, using ordinary silk cloth, yellow and pink long coats and trousers, but there is an extra long armor on the outside of the jacket. Because Lin He's embroidery is not very good, she used the method of coiling buttons to decorate the edge of the dress with different large flowers, and the little girl of her age wore it, which looked lively and playful

Lin Chen's clothes are also made of the same style, but the color is changed to tender green, which is also extremely beautiful, Huang looked at his two beautiful daughters with a smile, and he was also happy.
