Chapter 44: Mid-Autumn Festival
Soon, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xu Rujin started preparing early, she bought fish and stewed chicken, and also made braised pork, which was more hearty than what ordinary people eat for the New Year.
Xu Rujin thought that they had been in the countryside for almost three months, and this was the first festival that the whole family had spent together after she was reborn, so she wanted to improve the food.
Moreover, they now have some savings in their hands, although it is not enough to live in the city in the future, but the Ye family is no longer as miserable and lonely as in the previous life, and it is time to make a break with the past.
Just after breakfast at this time, Hu Xianglan was chasing the naughty Ye Youran with wicker all over the yard, Ye Youran hid behind Ye Nanshan vigorously, and from time to time she stretched out her head to take a look, and the sound in the yard has never stopped.
Xu Rujin looked at the vibrant family and sighed in his heart: It is no longer the empty small room where there were only her and Ye Chengwei in the previous life......
Now they have a comfortable courtyard, and there are chickens in the yard, but it is very lively!
Xu Rujin tied an apron and looked out the window with a smile. It's good that as long as people live, there is still hope for everything.
"Ye Youran, if you clean up with a broom for me immediately, I won't clean you up. If you are naughty again, you will not be allowed to eat today, and watch us eat!" Hu Xianglan couldn't catch her, so she simply didn't catch her, and gave Ye Youran an ultimatum.
Ye Youran was already playing with Hu Xianglan, but this time he was threatened with dinner, and immediately obediently took a broom and cleaned it up.
Before the accident at home, Ye Youran was the most picky eater, but after feeling hungry, he got rid of this problem. Now he is more active in eating than anyone else, of course, there are inevitably reasons why Xu Rujin and Ye Chengwei have superb cooking skills.
The whole family worked together to clean up the house inside and out, and then washed off the sweat and changed into the new clothes that Xu Rujin had made for everyone before.
In the evening, the table was moved to the courtyard under the big locust tree, and the table was full of food made by Xu Rujin.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods!" Ye Youran looked at the fish and meat on the table, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Although Ye Nanshan on the side didn't speak, he couldn't take his eyes off the food on the table.
"How do you finish eating so much?" Hu Xianglan looked at these dishes and felt a little distressed about money, she knew that it was not easy for Xu Rujin to earn some money.
"Don't worry, Mom. Xu Rujin naturally understood Hu Xianglan's thoughts, "It's September now, these dishes won't be bad if you can't finish eating them overnight, and you can continue to eat them tomorrow." ”
"Sister, when will we start eating, I'm hungry......" Ye Youran looked at Xu Rujin pitifully.
Since Xu Rujin prepared the ingredients in the morning, Ye Youran and Ye Nanshan's mouths have not been idle. At noon, these two little guys ate a big bowl of hot dry noodles by themselves, and it was only six o'clock at this time, how could they be hungry?
Ye Chengwei on the side ruthlessly dismantled her, "The moon cakes in my hand haven't been eaten yet, so I'm hungry noisily?"
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Rujin and Ye Chengwei made mooncakes for seven or eight days and sold them on the black market, and they would keep a few pieces as snacks every day to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.
Early this morning, Xu Rujin specially made some more moon cakes, one was to keep them at home to eat, and the other was to distribute them to the neighbors and villagers to thank them for their help during this time.
Since Hu Xianglan taught the children to read, the tasks assigned to the Ye family by the production team have been contracted by the parents of these children, giving them a lot of time and effort.
"I ...... Mooncakes are dim sum, and they can't be eaten as meals...... Ye Youran stuffed the mooncakes in his hand into his mouth at once, and said inarticulately: "Now there is no ......"
Finally swallowed the moon cake, Ye Youran turned his head to look at Xu Rujin again, "Sister, let's have dinner!"
Xu Rujin was amused by her gluttony, nodded her head and said, "Don't worry, you and Nanshan go to the kitchen together to bring out the stall of wine we made before, and we can have dinner." Be careful not to break the jar, you know?"
"Okay!" As soon as he heard that he could eat after moving the jar, Ye Youran's eyes lit up as soon as he rubbed it, and he immediately agreed, pulling Ye Nanshan and running to the kitchen.
"Leisurely, how can it be better to break the jar, or I'll go. After speaking, Hu Xianglan was about to get up.
Ye Chengwei pressed Hu Xianglan's hand, "It's okay, they should also move and digest it, they have eaten too much food." After speaking, he looked at Xu Rujin.
Xu Rujin's eyes and Ye Chengwei called back, and then pursed his lips slightly and lowered his head. She really thought so, the two children were gluttonous, and she wanted to indulge them again during the festival, the jar of wine was very heavy, and it would take a lot of effort for the two children to move over. After tossing it like this, it will be digested.
"This ...... The jar is so heavy......" Ye Youran cooperated with Ye Nanshan to move the wine jar, and at the same time threw a plea at Xu Rujin and Hu Xianglan for help.
"After moving the wine, you can eat. Xu Rujin was not soft-hearted at all, and watched the two children move the wine jar to the table without interfering.
She opened the sealed lid, and the aroma of wine slowly spread through the air, mixed with the sweetness of the wisps of fruit.
If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, that's what you say......
Xu Rujin poured wine for everyone, but there were not many in the twins bowl, and the amount of two small sips was so that they could taste the wine and feel the atmosphere of the festival.
The braised pork is crystal clear in color, fat and thin, Ye Nanshan and Ye Youran like this dish the most.
The two children ate several pieces in a row, and Hu Xianglan hurriedly stopped, "There are other dishes, don't just stare at it, eat too much meat and don't digest it, and it will be uncomfortable at night." ”
"Besides, there are so many more, and there will be more tomorrow. Hu Xianglan saw that their bowl of rice had bottomed out, and she was afraid that they would be overwhelmed.
Ye Youran burped and took a bite of green vegetables, "The dishes made by my sister are so delicious, I feel that I can't eat enough." ”
"But your stomach says it's full," Xu Rujin smiled and patted Ye Youran's already bulging little belly.
At this moment, her eyes were foggy, she was already drunk, and the wine in the bowl had been emptied by her.
"Then I won't eat, I'll ......" Ye Youran leaned in front of Xu Rujin and raised a finger, "Sister, can I take another sip of wine?"
"Just take a sip, the wine is sweet, like a drink, it's delicious. Ye Youran begged, "Just one bite, okay, sister......"
"No, I can't. Without waiting for Xu Rujin to answer, Ye Chengwei spoke first, "It's already an exception to let you taste it, you can drink as much as you want when you grow up, but not now." ”
Seeing that Ye Youran still wanted to entangle, Ye Chengwei glanced at her coldly, "Why don't I test your homework, answer all ten questions correctly, and give you a drink?"
As soon as he heard that he was going to take the exam, Ye Youran immediately waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm so sleepy, I went to sleep......"
After saying that, he immediately slipped away.
