The next-door neighbor and some relatives bought a lot of fish at my grandfather's house, as well as some snails and eels.

The grandparents of snails and eels didn't want money, but a few people refused, so they had to symbolically make a symbolic idea, ten yuan a pound for snails and five yuan a pound for eels.

When it was very late, my grandparents picked up the lamp to settle the accounts, and today's income was more than 600 yuan, so the second elder was also a day of sleep.

The next morning, my grandmother stewed corn porridge and green onion egg cakes.

Corn porridge is launched with a small mill at home, the size of mung beans, soaked early, made of corn porridge, which belongs to coarse grain vitamins and minerals, and has a high content of linoleic acid, and regular consumption has many benefits for the human body.

As for the green onion egg cake, make it simple, mix the flour into a paste, add eggs, chopped green onions, mix well with seasonings, burn the iron pot on the fire, pour some soybean oil, wait for the oil to be hot, pour the batter into it, spread it into a cake shape and present golden brown, but pay attention to turning over, don't burn, pay attention to whether there is soybean oil at the bottom of the pot, add it appropriately.

It is the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and in previous years, all employees of Zhiyu International Media Company will have a long period of vacation, from the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month to the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Because it was only a week before his company's long holiday, in the morning, Fang Mowei deliberately moved a desk, placed a computer on the desk, went to a brighter room to work, held a video conference with several directors, assigned them year-end work, and told them to remember to pay year-end benefits.

My grandparents were in a hurry, disemboweling the fish left over from yesterday, and then marinating them and drying them at the tuyere.

Cheng Xiaorui gave them a hand, helped them, and was on call. After Fang Mowei finished the meeting, he also went directly to help his grandparents.

Midday. At home, I am going to make snails to eat.

The snails taste delicious, but they are very troublesome to make, and eating them outside is not hygienic enough. No way, there is a shell. Cleaning is not easy. To make snails at home, you have to wait at least two or three days to clear the water several times to let the snails spit out the dirt and dirt inside. Grandparents and their people like to add a little soybean oil to the water when they eat snails, which can speed up the snails to clear the dirt in the body.

Two days ago, my grandmother kept the snails in a large water tank on the east side of the house, changed the water once a day, and added soybean oil last night. This morning, the water was changed a second time.

At this moment, my grandmother fished up the snail and put it in a basin of water, and it seemed that the water in the basin had been clear, and it seemed that the dirt had been cleaned up.

"It's so good, Brother Mo Wei, I have snails to eat at noon." Cheng Xiaorui snuggled up to Fang Mowei, holding one of his arms, swallowing her own saliva, and said coquettishly.

Fang Mowei looked at her gluttony, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the red tender flesh on her face. said: "Little girl, I think about eating all day long!" ”

Cheng Xiaorui said playfully: "Ask for three meals a day, ask for a dormitory at night, people die for money, birds die for food......"

Fang Mowei shook his head. said that he was too lazy to take care of her.

Grandma had already taken the basin to the shaking well behind the house, and Fang Mowei and Cheng Xiaorui followed along.

Speaking of shaking wells, it is rarely seen even in rural areas these days. And in the nineties of the last century, it was the source of drinking water for people in many areas.

It is a tool for directing groundwater to the ground, made of cast iron, with a cement-like block at the bottom. The head of the well is the water outlet, thick at the back and thin at the front, and the tail is a pressure handle connected with the center of the well, which is about twenty or thirty centimeters long. Use it often to make it brighter. In the center of the well is a drainage skin. It is the force of this diversion skin and the core of the well that leads the groundwater pressure up.

The shaking well uses the principle of physical lever, and the fulcrum, resistance point and force point are all on the long handle. After you have poured water into the well, press the handle. The piston inside moves up and down to reduce the pressure, and the water below naturally comes up.

Grandma put a pot of snails weighing a pound on the ground, aimed it at the well, and shook some water into the basin.

The bottom of the snail must be clamped open with pliers, and the intestinal debris is taken out, leaving only the snail meat, which is not only economical and hygienic, but also hygienic, and grandma said to Cheng Xiaorui: "Go, Xiaorui, go and get a pair of pliers." ”

"Good!" Cheng Xiaorui nodded hurriedly, turned around and went to the back room, and quickly took a pair of pliers out.

The two of them looked at their grandmother, but it also takes skill to clamp dirty things such as intestines, Fang Mowei looked a little depressed at this time, grandma broke a snail not a little, looking at the dirty snail meat, he felt a little unappetizing.

There are two springs this year, and it has been three days since the beginning of spring in the blink of an eye. The warm sun is dawning, and the spring is red. The hairpin obliquely wears the color swallow, and Luo thinly cuts the spring insects. With the power of the golden knife, the cold invades the jade and refers to the wind. Where to wear it, the mountain temples are green.

In the afternoon, my grandfather had a whim and wanted to plant a few trees.

He is old, he is in the age of antiquity, and if he accidentally leaves one day, maybe few people will remember that he came to this world. So he wanted to plant a few more trees, and as time went on, year after year, year after year, the trees would become more and more leafy and vibrant. After planting the tree, he placed all his soul and his emotions on the tree, and at least the tree remained after he died.

Fang Mowei and Cheng Xiaorui agreed to accompany their grandfather to the market town to buy saplings.

The three of them stopped and walked, and their grandfather introduced them to the scenery along the way.

The C River where the ribbon floated in the distance was white, and the slightly reflected sunlight seemed to be sown with gold. There is also a paddy field under the road, which has water all year round, and can only grow rice, and it is dormant at this time.

The trees planted in the beginning of spring are green and secluded, and the trees planted in the beginning of summer have no harvest. At the end of the year, the bamboo branches are green, and the trees are planted at the beginning of the year.

Coming to the market town only three or four miles away from their home again, the three of them walked along the ancient street together, all the way to the end, all kinds of things, densely placed with bamboo, and some saplings in the gaps.

They looked here and asked there, and there were various kinds of saplings, including osmanthus trees, grapevine trees, pomegranate trees, chestnut trees, pear trees, jujube trees, etc.

In the end, my grandfather decided to buy a few chestnut trees, grape vines, and a few osmanthus saplings and hickory saplings.

When they went back, they walked another street, Fang Mowei carried those saplings, and his grandfather and Cheng Xiaorui were leisurely, strolling around, selling some miscellaneous things that could be used for the New Year.

After passing by the livestock, the livestock market was a little dirty, cattle, horses, sheep, dogs, pigs and rabbits, what do you want, Fang Mowei couldn't help wrinkling his nose, a little depressed, he couldn't get used to the smell of the feces of these animals.

When they saw a maroon horse, the three of them stopped and looked at it for a moment. To tell the truth, in the first ten years, the business of buying and selling horses here has been very prosperous, but unfortunately the role of horses has been much smaller in the last ten years.

When he returned home, his grandfather placed the saplings he had bought in a shaded corner. The next morning, in the rush of the crystal dew, my grandfather got up early, chose a few places in front of the house with a few wet and soft soils, dug a few pits of appropriate depth, filled them one by one, planted them and watered them.

As the Spring Festival approaches, every household is becoming more and more lively, and many people who work in the city in other places are also going home to prepare for the New Year.

These days, Fang Mowei and Cheng Xiaorui have been staying at home honestly, accompanying their grandparents to work, and at the same time hoping that their grandparents can arrange some things for them to do.

In the blink of an eye, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the new year has arrived.

When it comes to small years, the twenty-third day of the lunar month in the north is the small year, and the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month in the south is the small year. The Han folk even have the saying of "three officials, four people, five boats, Taoist monks", that is, in ancient times, all families with talents and above fame and officials were in the 23rd month of the lunar month, and the people of Li were the 24th lunar month. The people on the boat and the Taoist monks are said to be the twenty-fifth year of the lunar month. Of course, what must be done during the New Year is to clean and sacrifice to the king of the stove.

My grandparents got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast, and Fang Mowei and Cheng Xiaorui of course had to get up early to clean up. Although my grandparents said that they didn't need to help, they couldn't help the two of them before they agreed to help clean up after they couldn't help with the volunteers.

Before breakfast, Fang Mowei had already put on the coarse clothes and trousers prepared in advance, stood in front of the door with his back to the door, stretched his waist and said to himself: "Comfortable!" It's surprisingly comfortable to stretch in the morning. ”

Suddenly, a fragrant wind struck, and then his eyes went black, his eyes were covered by a pair of soft and delicate hands, and then he felt a small body pressing against him.

"Guess who I am......" Before Fang Mowei could react, a familiar and mischievous voice sounded in his ears again.

Because he was too close, a warm air flow instantly swept through Fang Mowei's whole body from the root of his ear, making his pores open in an instant, and an indescribable feeling constantly stimulated his nerves.

The nose was constantly attacked by the familiar fragrance, the eyes were covered by the smooth little hands, and there was a soft fragrance behind it, coupled with the strange feeling coming from the ears, Fang Mowei was stunned for a while, and the hands that he wanted to raise were also put down, allowing this feeling to be transmitted to the whole body and indulging in it!

"Say, guess who I am." A soft voice sounded again, making the intoxicated Fang Mowei wake up all of a sudden.

"This girl, really!" Fang Mowei sighed in his heart, smiled, crossed his hands and said, "Okay, then I'll guess who this is?" Could it be my super invincible, cute and touching puppy Cheng Xiaorui? ”

Then Fang Mowei reached out and lifted Cheng Xiaorui's hand and slowly turned around.

"Eh, Young Master Fang, you are the little dog!" Cheng Xiaorui said very unconvinced, and stuck out her tongue at him again. (To be continued) R580
