Chapter Seventy-Eight: Happy Events
"Sister-in-law, you're drying clothes! I'll help you. Zhu Hongxiu stepped forward, picked up the clothes in the bucket and started with her.
Chu Tianyi smiled and said, "Why are my younger brothers and sisters free?" ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to show me the other day! I'll come over after I'm done at home today; I wondered if I was really pregnant, and I dreamed that I had given birth to a girl for the past few days. Zhu Hongxiu lowered her head embarrassedly to dry her clothes.
"I see!" Chu Tianyi glanced at her meaningfully, and joked with a smile, "Do you want the child to think so much?" Has your battalion commander made a lot of efforts? ”
Zhu Hongxiu blushed instantly, and pushed her with a shy face, "Sister-in-law." ”
"What a shame, I've had children." Chu Tianyi laughed.
"If you do this again, I won't tell you." Zhu Hongxiu squinted at her, "You were taken by Sister-in-law Tang." ”
"Hehe, I'm stating the facts, could it be that your battalion commander didn't work hard?" Chu Tianyi smiled and was very happy.
Zhu Hongxiu touched her hot face, how could she answer this question?
Chu Tianyi dried the last coat and touched her shoulder, "Let's go!" Go in and take your pulse. ”
"Sister-in-law, you're so bad." Zhu Hongxiu followed her into the living room and sat down on the sofa, "I'm sorry sister-in-law." ”
"Don't bother, you also helped me a lot last year, but I just diagnosed you, what's the trouble?" Chu Tianyi grabbed her wrist and put it on the vein, tasting the vein.
After a while, he let go of her pulse, nodded and smiled: "Congratulations to my brother and sister, I am indeed pregnant." ”
"Really? Hahaha....... Great, I'm finally pregnant; I'm going back and telling Lao Xi that he must be happier than me. ”
Chu Tianyi stretched out his hand to soothe her excited emotions, "Don't be too excited, the child is less than three months old, you have to take care of it." ”
"I see, thank you, sister-in-law; Sister-in-law, that ....... I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you next time! Zhu Hongxiu smiled and trotted out.
"Brother and sister, you slow down."
"Got it!"
Chu Tianyi shook her head and smiled, it was the first time she had seen such a cheerful and unabashed Vermilion show.
"Ahh
Is the baby awake? Chu Tianyi walked into the bedroom quickly, and when he saw it, he sneered and laughed; Xi Xi pressure. On Yangyang's body, Yangyang couldn't move his brother away from him all the time, and when he was angry, he opened his mouth and bit it.
"Alright, you two don't go crazy." Hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Xixi, and rubbed his arm with a small gum imprint, "It doesn't hurt!" You are also stubborn, your brother has bitten you like this, and you still don't let go; Like your father, he has a bullish temper that does not admit defeat. ”
"yes, horn, ahhhh
Chu Tianyi grabbed his angry little fist and stuffed it into his arms, "Okay, my brother doesn't want to bite you!" Who told you to press your brother? ”
"Providence, what's wrong?" Wu Cuihua walked into the bedroom and saw Lei Chuyang spitting on the bed, and instantly smiled, "Ouch, our Yangyang is awake!" Come and hug my aunt. ”
Lei Chuyang pushed her hand and struggled to crawl to the edge of the bed; Pulling Chu Tianyi's pants, pulling her pants to wipe her saliva.
As if to express his anger with this, Chu Tianyi laughed for a while, "Okay, mom didn't ignore you, you bit my brother and hurt it, mom just look at my brother first." ”
The fleshy little body rolled into her arms, holding her feet and gnawing on them, "Ahh ”
Wu Cuihua stared at the two little things greedily, "I'm still gnawing on my feet, it must have been taught by Jiahui again; This kid doesn't teach good habits, but teaches some bad habits, and I'll scold him in a while. ”
"Auntie, don't scold Jiahui, I saved a lot of effort with Jiahui to play with the two of them; It is in the nature of children to let them play if they love to play. Even if Jiahui doesn't teach them, sooner or later they will have to take the foot-gnawing as fun. "Anyway, she has the habit of bathing her children every day.
"You're just used to him, how old you are, you don't seem to be sensible." Wu Cuihua said this, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "You play with them, I'll cook." ”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Chu Tianyi picked up the small shoes on the table and put them on, and walked out of the bedroom with one in one hand.
Song Sancheng stepped forward and clapped his hands, "Come to Xixi, uncle hug." ”
Xixi pouted, and his hands fluttered around her neck, not letting him hug her.
Song Sancheng saw this transfer Chaoyang Yang stretched out his hand, his face was full of flattering smiles, "Yangyang, come and take your uncle out to play, there is fun outside." ”
"Yikes!"
Yangyang was more direct, and screamed on his mother's shoulder and didn't move.
Chu Tianyi was amused, and his uncle often ate in front of the two children, but every time he saw them, he still had to coax them before he stopped.
"Uncle, I'll put them on the sofa, you can play with them! I go to the kitchen to make cured meat, which can be used for wine during the Chinese New Year; Now that I'm twenty-five, I'm ready to make a dish, and I can add a dish on the day of the New Year. He put them on the couch, and the two boys immediately rolled into a ball.
Song Sancheng squatted in front of the sofa and guarded it strictly to prevent the child from falling off the sofa, "Go ahead!" ”
Chu Tianyi pinched Yangyang's little ears and went to the kitchen.
"Daughter-in-law, why are you here? What about Yangyang and Xixi? Wu Cuihua turned her head to look at her, lowered her head and continued to work.
"Playing on the couch! It's no problem to have an uncle watching. Chu Tianyi opened the freezer and proposed that the six pieces of third-line meat prepared before be put in the sink to thaw, "Uncle, in the past two days, more packs of dumplings and rice balls are put in the freezer, and they will be used on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
"How much do you want to pack?"
Chu Tianyi calculated, "Maybe two or three hundred, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten at our house; At that time, there will be about four of Lei Ze's comrades-in-arms, plus their families, there will be quite a few people. ”
"Okay, we'll start doing it in the afternoon. Making dumplings is very fast, and it can be finished in three hundred or two hours. "Wu Cuihua was originally a cool person, and since the last time she came to provoke each other's unhappiness, she no longer cares about their husband and wife.
Now that we get along, we have regained the harmony we had when we got married.
"Then I'll make the noodles first, and then adjust the filling, and just wrap it in the afternoon." Now that the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, even if you mix a large pot of filling, it won't be bad.
Just do it.
One cooks and the other prepares for the afternoon's work, and it is pleasant to talk and laugh with each other.
......
He lived for a few days and ushered in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chu Tianyi prepared the hot pot soup base, and the meat and vegetables were all cut and put on a plate for preparation, "Auntie, you can bring the cut to the table first." ”
"Right away." Wu Cuihua hurriedly extinguished the fire in the stove, scooped up clean water to wash his hands, and served the cut meat and vegetables to the table; Stacked plate by plate, after a while, the round table will not be stacked.
Luo Ying is also busy with her feet not touching the ground, her knife skills are not good, so she can only follow Chu Tianyi to do some cleaning work.
Zhu Hongxiu stood in front of the stove and put the stir-fried side dishes on the plate and served them.
In the kitchen, several women are busy, and in the living room, the men are joking uncontrollably and laughing.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, you don't need to wash it; It should be enough for them to eat, you wash your hands first, and I'll go outside to see if the hot pot soup base is ready. Chu Tianyi picked up the only two remaining plates and came to the living room and stacked the two plates; Unlieving the lid of the pot, the smell of the hot pot soup base is overflowing in an instant, and the fragrance is tangy, "The soup base is ready, and you can prepare the meat dishes." ”
"Okay, come, sit down." Lei Zer beckoned everyone to sit down, "The things prepared today are enough for everyone to eat, everyone let go of their stomachs and eat." ”
Feng Jixun poured the contents of pork, beef, tripe, and duck intestines into the pot in one go, "Okay, then I can let go of my stomach and eat; I went back to my hometown last year, and I didn't taste the hot pot made by my sister-in-law for Chinese New Year's Eve, and today I want to eat enough, don't grab it with me! ”
"Hahaha, you foodie, you can't be cooked after so many falls." Xi Chengtao picked up the dried fruit on the table and threw it on his head, "Be greedy!" Now I can't eat it. ”
Luo Tianjun came alone, sat next to them and laughed at them, adding fuel to the fire by the way, "Lao Feng is not smart, he does stupid things, and he doesn't do a few smart things." ”
"Don't lose it, if you lose it again, I'll fight back!" Feng Jixun knew that he had done something stupid, and he deserved to be laughed at, so he accepted their teasing calmly.
Chu Tianyi went to the kitchen to fill a pot of boiled bone broth and put it on the stove, "Sister-in-law Tang, Brother and Sister Xi, aunt, you go out to eat first." ”
"Don't worry, do you have any other dishes to do?" Zhu Hongxiu asked with a smile.
"No, you go out to eat first, and I'll boil the hot water and come out; After eating hot pot for a while, I cooked a pot of dumplings and ate them to change the taste. ”
"Daughter-in-law, if you go out to eat, I'll boil water!"
Chu Tianyi shook his head with a smile, "No, aunt go eat!" I'm going to cut a plate of cured meat and give them wine, and that's just a little bit of work; I won't be hungry, you go eat first. ”
"Then let's get out!" Wu Cuihua took off the apron and threw it on the shelf next to her.
"Okay, let's go out first, I'll pack some food for my brother and sister." Luo Ying didn't make much excuses, and went out with Zhu Hongxiu.
Chu Tianyi added firewood to the stove, and returned to the back of the stove to take out two pieces of bacon that had been cooked.
Chu Tianyi has good craftsmanship and fast knife work, and quickly cut a plate full of cured meat, and put some dried chili peppers on it to eat spicy and fragrant.
Walking into the living room with bacon, he put the cured meat on the small table next to the hot pot, "The cured meat will serve you wine, and you will drink more for a while." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Feng Jixun couldn't wait to pick up a piece and throw it into his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, everything that passes through my sister-in-law's hands is so delicious." ”
"Eat more if you like." Qingli's face was not covered with a thin layer of dense sweat, and there was a kind of poetry of clear water coming out of hibiscus, "You eat first, and I'll come out in a while." ”
Tang Lixing picked up a glass of wine, "Brother and sister, don't leave first, I'll toast you; Today, my brother and sister worked hard, and they made such a table of good dishes for us, and even the wine was made by my sister-in-law. ”
"Shall I replace wine with water?" Chu Tian asked embarrassedly.
Luo Ying pushed her husband, took the initiative to pick up a glass of warm boiled water and handed it to her, "Okay, my brother and sister are still nursing their children, and it is really not appropriate to drink; It is enough to use water instead of wine to express it. ”
"Yes, yes, look at my memory, I forgot about this stubble." Tang Lixing patted his head and came to his senses, "Come, brother and sister, I toast you, thank you for making so much delicious." ”
The cups touched each other, making a crisp sound, "Yes, Instructor Tang can't be so polite, I drank this cup, you eat and drink well, you don't have to be polite at your Lei Deputy Group's house." Drink all the warm water in one gulp, "You eat, I'll come when I go." ”
Tang Lixing took a sip of medicinal wine, sighed comfortably, and sat down next to Luo Ying; and fought with Lei Ze and others to eat vegetables.
The men gradually lost their minds, and when they dispersed, the meat and vegetables had been eaten, and even the medicinal wine had gone to most of the jar.
After a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the guests and hosts were happy.
