Chapter 116: Reunion Dinner

"Sister, are you tired? I've been walking for so long today, and I've bought so many things," Yan Shaojie asked Yan Yan as soon as he got home, Yan Yan had his eyes closed just now on the ox cart.

"It's okay, I haven't been out for a long time, but I had a good time today," Yan Yan felt that it was a woman's nature to buy things whenever she wanted, and today she and the Yang family had a hard time, how could this shopping be tiring for a woman? Yang is also full of smiles, although he spent a lot of money, but the New Year's picture is festive.

The next is the busy days of the Yang family, because there is no work to do in winter, but Yan Qingshan still herds cattle and makes fields as usual, and Yan Shaojie can calm down and read books and study; Yan Yan is on par with needlework, sewing and mending in the room all day long, but he has made a lot of progress.

There are four little pigs at home, Xu Yan has nothing to do, he will feed the pigs with Yan Qingshan, clean up the pigsty or something, in short, everyone has their own arrangements, waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

I don't know if it's because it's going to be the New Year or what, it was completely cold in less than two days, Yan Yan refused to go out of the room, Xu Yan also reluctantly put on a new cotton jacket, this is the cyan cotton coat made by Yan Yan, Xu Yan felt instantly warm to the bottom of his heart.

"It's really cold this day," Yan Qingshan came back from outside, rubbed his frozen hands, and hurried to the stove to keep warm.

"But it's not, it seems to be another cold New Year," Yang Shi looked at the sky, "It is estimated that it will snow, this potato is better to look good, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, hurry up and get ready." ”

"Rest assured. It's all done, it's not bad to freeze, "Yan Qingshan has been covering potatoes with straw with everyone to keep warm these days."

"Mother. Let's eat hot pot tonight, it's just right to be so cold," Yan Yan felt that it was just right to eat hot pot for the reunion dinner, there was no need to cook so much, such a cold-cooked dish would easily get cold.

"Okay, it's hot to eat like this, so I'll prepare it. It is estimated that everyone is about to eat, "Yan Qingshan has come back from the grave, and the Yang family is ready to eat." Not sooner, not too late.

"I'll come too," Yan Yan put down the clothes in his hand, got up and went to the kitchen with Yang, after all, he hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time. This time, she still had a good time. Yan Qingshan had absolutely no opinion when he heard about eating hot pot. Xu Yan hasn't eaten it, but he's looking forward to it.

Yan Yan wants to make a sauerkraut fish hot pot, the most important thing in the family is fish, Yan Qingshan just fished a big bucket back to prepare for the New Year, Yan Yan picked two big carp, this amount should be enough, right? There are also a lot of side dishes, this pot should be enough.

Because there is always a chicken in the Chinese New Year, the chicken head and chicken feet are stewed into soup, and then a hodgepodge hot pot is made. There are cabbage, mushrooms (dried and can be used when soaked), potatoes, Huaishan, yams, radish, pork, chicken, and tofu. So many things mixed together and cooked, it's really fragrant.

"Mother, are these two cauldrons enough?" Yan Yan looked at these two big hot pots, full of ingredients, and thought that it should be enough.

"That's enough," Yang glanced at the hot pot and felt his appetite increase.

"Do you want to cook a few meals? You can cook vermicelli and eat it tonight with the soup base, "Yan Yan doesn't want to miss such a thick and good soup base, the boiled vermicelli is just enough to taste."

"Okay, listen to you," Yang was also drooling by Yan Yan's words, the two of them hurriedly prepared, Yan Yan asked Yan Shaojie to serve the hot pot, this is still very heavy, Yan Qingshan ordered the stove, as soon as the two big pots were served, everyone's saliva was "flying down three thousand feet", and they were all their own family members who hurriedly started eating, and no one was polite.

"It turns out that this is hot pot, which is wonderful! I'm blessed today," Xu Yan looked up and spoke after eating half full.

"This hot pot is very delicious, but we haven't eaten it a few times, and every time my sister has a different trick, so we can't even talk anymore," Yan Shaojie ate with a red mouth, and still had an expression that was not enjoyable enough.

The sauerkraut fish quickly bottomed out, because the fish was cooked just right, and everyone was rushing to eat it, Yan Yan hurriedly put some vermicelli and cooked it. The flavor of this sauerkraut fish is relatively strong, but the smorgasbord is clearer because it is made of chicken soup, but this stomach still needs to eat too much spicy things at once, and the chicken soup can be slowed down.

"Girl, this vermicelli is delicious enough! Delicious! Yan Yan first gave Yan Qingshan a bowl, everyone rushed over to ask for vermicelli, before the men had eaten a bowl of rice at the bottom, now a bowl of vermicelli is definitely not enough, Yan Yan had to hurry up and cook it.

"Look at you, one by one, the starving ghosts are reincarnated," Yang really couldn't cry or laugh, every time Yan Yan did something new, everyone rushed to eat, and they didn't have a pleasant expression.

Everyone was very happy and satisfied with this reunion dinner, especially Xu Yan, this was the warmest and most delicious reunion dinner he had ever eaten since he was born, Xu Yan thought that Yan Yan was really a very amazing person, she could always bring so many surprises and satisfaction to everyone, it was really heartwarming. I don't know if he still has such an opportunity to eat such a warm and delicious reunion dinner in the future?

Xu Yan hurriedly threw away this idea, saying that he couldn't think about it anymore, and he couldn't have such extravagant expectations for Yan Yan, because he couldn't afford such a beautiful woman as Yan Yan, his life was dark and full of sycophancy, so he couldn't have such thoughts anymore.

After eating, it's time to visit the door, but Qingzhu is pregnant and Xiaoyun can't go out alone; Plum blossoms are set to kiss the big night, and it is not easy to go out; The weather was so cold that it was uncomfortable for the two poplar brothers to walk from the head of the village to the end of the village; So in the end, only Niu Xiaoyu next door came to find Yan Shaojie and Xu Yan. Yang and Yan Yan sat by the stove doing needlework, and the men were chatting together, which was nothing more than some boring topics.

"Shaojie, when are you going to Suzhou to take the exam?" Niu Xiaoyu suddenly asked.

"The specific time is still uncertain, but it should be in May or June," Yan Shaojie was surprised that Niu Xiaoyu suddenly asked this question, but he still answered carefully, and he would always be asked.

"Then you also have to prepare in advance, Suzhou is not far away, it is better to plan early," Xu Yan said.

"yes, are you going alone?" Niu Xiaoyu wanted to go out alone, or Suzhou, where he was unfamiliar with life, and his tone was full of worry.

"I haven't thought about this yet, but you reminded me, it seems that I have to think about it in detail," Yan Shaojie really didn't think of so much, because the previous focus was at home, so he didn't think about going to Suzhou, and now it's time to plan well.

The Yang family and Yan Qingshan were even more worried when they heard this, their son had never been to such a far place, or Suzhou that he had never been to, how could they not be in a hurry? Yan Yan had other ideas, she didn't know what this Suzhou was like, she was still quite curious. (To be continued......)
