This Chinese New Year's Eve meal, which was too rich for the Zhuang family, lasted for more than an hour, from the end of the Shen to the beginning of the morning (21 o'clock in the evening). It is also a loss to the end of each dish, and a small charcoal stove and hot water are prepared in advance to maintain the temperature of the dishes. Rao is like this, and halfway through, Aunt Zheng also replaced the hot water several times and added a lot of black charcoal.

By the time Aunt Xiao Zheng put a pot of freshly baked hot glutinous rice reunion cake on the table, they were actually all round and full of oil. From the perspective of health preservation, it is best to eat seven minutes full of meals, eat less and eat more often. However, on this special day, it means a good day for family reunion, and it is very understandable to occasionally go down to one of them.

However, in order not to be like Li Xu's pot-bellied woman, with a belly that gradually appeared to be pregnant for three or four months, Li Zhengyuan was a little helpless to let Aunt Zheng boil a pot of thick hawthorn honey water again. Who would have thought that Aunt Xiao Zheng would have boiled the hawthorn water early, at most, just warm it again.

In the Tianqi Chaoyue Town, this generation has the custom of eating glutinous rice reunion cakes in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Li Junran originally thought that the so-called glutinous rice reunion cake was nothing more than a kind of rice cake-like food. Xiao Qiliu's remaining memory has only a very vague impression. Before, on the fourth room of the Li family, even if it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, this meant that the coming year was auspicious, and the glutinous rice reunion cake was high every year, and the little Qiliu brothers and sisters were not qualified to eat it.

This time, Li Junran deliberately kept her stomach and prepared to eat more. Who would have thought that after Aunt Xiao Zheng really put the so-called glutinous rice reunion cake on the table, Li Junran was dumbfounded. It's a big piece. Each one is at least seven or eight inches in size, and more than half an inch thick. Snow-white and snow-white, mixed with colorful preserved fruits. The surface has a beautiful pattern, and the center is covered with a big red round medallion, which is the traditional bird seal "auspicious Ruyi" four words.

As the eldest in the family, the seventh uncle was responsible for cutting the glutinous rice cake into several large pieces and distributing them to the juniors in the family. The junior has to bow his head and respectfully accept the reunion cake from the elder, while saying auspicious words to express his gratitude.

Li Junran followed behind his uncle Li Zhengyuan's younger brother Li Junyang. After receiving the reunion cake given by the Seventh Uncle. Unceremoniously took a big bite. The mouth is full of sesame seeds with the sweetness of honey, chew carefully, and you can also eat the dried fruit aroma of peanuts, walnuts, melon seeds, and kernels.

It's really delicious.

After eating glutinous rice reunion cake, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is almost the same. Aunt Xiao Zheng neatly cleaned up the leftovers on the table into the kitchen. Li Zhengyuan and Li Junyang put out the fruit bowls. Make a pot of tea. He began to play the leaf card to keep the year.

Usual. In the seventh uncle's family, there are seven uncles and Li Zhengyuan's grandfather and grandson, and as for the second room of the Li family, there is only Li Cui's alone. The Xiaoqiliu family is a family of four, but unfortunately the Chinese New Year's Eve every year is the busiest time for Daddy Baozi and Li Xu. Especially for Li Xu. Not to mention that she was in charge of Zhang Luo for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after eating, she waited for her to clean up inside and out.

This year, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the 46th year of Emperor Inshundi is destined to be different. Li Xu's family was very rare to be able to take a break, accompanied by the seventh uncle ancestor and Li Cui's family, and played the leaf card. As for a few juniors, they also set up a table next to them.

What? Three missing one? Li Junran's brother and sister, plus uncle Li Zhengyuan and Yin Xiaolian, aren't exactly four. It's just that it didn't last long, but it's true. Because Li Junyang was so powerful, it didn't take long for him to win the silver on the cards of the other three people. Among them, it is the most tragic one that Li Junran lost, and the whole fortune boy.

Li Junran, who lost too hard, threw away the leaf card in his hand and ran away. Since the three missing one side couldn't fight, Li Junyang and the three had no choice but to switch to the side of the seventh uncle. After a while, except for Bao Zi's father, there was a military advisor sitting behind each of the three Seventh Uncles. Xu is behind the relationship between the military advisor, the three uncles and ancestors of the three uncles killed the bun father did not leave any piece of armor, and there was even a round of bun dad who fired a cannon and fired three shots, almost losing all the **.

It's really a barbecue with three fragrant meats.

"Dad, do you want my mother to lend you some rouge gouache silver?" Because he won a lot, Li Junyang looked at his bun father with a smile.

"Go aside. Lao Tzu waited for Liu Er to come and help me. ”

"Come on, Liu'er's little girl just lost the most." Li Zhengyuan, who didn't lose or win, stretched out his hand and pointed to the leaf card in the hand of the seventh uncle, and said softly, "Grandpa, play this, this one." ”

The Seventh Uncle Ancestor craned his neck and looked at the table, listening to his little grandson's advice.

Here, a large family of people is in a warm and spring-like house, talking and laughing and playing leaf cards, eating all kinds of dried fruit cakes, and Li Junran sneaked into the backyard alone. There are lanterns lit in front of and behind the second room of the Li family, although the light is a little dim, but it does not affect the eyesight.

Li Junran didn't go to the kitchen, not because she had changed into a little boy at this time, and Aunt Zheng had never seen her before. Of course, it's not that I didn't think of helping Aunt Zheng wash and scrub. In fact, the reason is very simple, on this good day of family reunion and celebration, Aunt Zheng, who is alone, will inevitably think of her original home and her only daughter.

At times like these, you have to leave some room for people. It's like Li Junran sneaking to the back, and she needs to change her mood.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was pitch black, and there was not a trace of the moon in sight. However, at this moment, Li Junran really wanted to see the bright jade plate hanging in the air, and he wanted to be with his family.

She really wanted to go home......

"Liu'er ......"

"Little brother?" Li Junran didn't turn her head, just from the footsteps, she found out early that the person who came was Li Junyang.

"Are you crying?"

"Nope."

Regarding Li Junran's insistence, Li Junyang only smiled faintly. He can understand, really. Every festive season, Li Junyang once read this sentence in a book.

After a moment of silence, Li Junran, who had already collected his mood, opened his mouth and asked, "Little brother, why did you come out too?" ”

"I'm looking for you." Li Junyang joked with a smile, "Dad is about to lose everything, waiting for your precious girl to go back and save him." ”

"Stinky boy, do you think my sister and I will really lose to you?" Li Junran was furious.

"Who knows." Li Junyang spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "I don't know if it's ......."

Before Li Junyang's words were finished, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the courtyard, and he immediately alertly pulled Li Junran, who was standing beside him, into a dark corner and hid.

"Liu'er ......"

"Shhhh (To be continued.) )
