Chapter 182: Chinese New Year (Part II)
After following Zhao Furui to worship his ancestors, the big guys began to disperse and return home.
Zhao Fuxiang because of his unique shoes and hats, attracted a lot of sunshine on this occasion of worship, so that everyone dispersed, and there were many people around him.
Of course, the Zhao Shanlin brothers also got together a lot, after all, their fathers came out together, and they were all dressed similarly.
Most people are asking Zhao Fuxiang how he got this shoe and hat.
Zhao Fuxiang had a consideration when he wore it out, and he didn't deliberately hide it now, he directly told the production method of this shoe and hat, and added a mouthful of other available furs such as cattle and sheep.
Of course, as for whether other people can make the same shoes and hats, Zhao Fuxiang doesn't care.
After speaking, Zhao Fuxiang took everyone home happily.
In the Zhao family's courtyard, the Li family and the others had already gotten up, and at this time, the Li family was busy with the three Liu family in the kitchen for lunch.
For the New Year, you have to have a good meal.
Li Shi was not polite, and directly put out the copper hot pot he brought back from the shop.
He also took out the frozen meat pieces left over from the killing of pigs a few days ago, and Li called Liu and others to cut them crosswise according to the thin slices when eating hot pot.
And by herself, she took out the mountain mushroom greens she brought back, washed them and put them on a plate, and then began to prepare other hard vegetables.
In the kitchen chimney, thick white smoke was constantly rising out.
Outside the yard, Zhao Dongmei and a few other small ones in the family were playing carefree.
Because it is the New Year, the old and the new, so the adults and children in the family are wearing brand new clothes.
As soon as Yuan got up in the morning, he specially put on the red coat and red skirt that he asked Liu to make, and their hair was tied into a bun shape, and a colorful pompom hanging down on each side was tied on both sides.
Being dressed up like this, the two girls are like dolls in New Year's paintings, and the whole person is glowing.
As soon as she dressed up, good guys, not only did Zhao Dongmei and her sisters look envious, but Zhao Chunhua was even more grinding Cheng when she saw it, until she was dressed exactly the same.
And Yuan himself, because he had to cook, was not willing to wear the new clothes he had prepared for himself, but his hair was neat, not only inserted two silver hairpins newly bought from the city, but also wrapped in a big red peony pattern cloth, looking at it was refreshing and refreshing.
Liu and Cheng looked at it well, their hair was wrapped in various colored cloths, and they inserted hairpins that they were reluctant to take out on weekdays, and they went to the kitchen to help when they were dressed beautifully.
came over with such a show, and originally Li wanted to talk about it when he saw it, after all, what is the use of coming to the kitchen to cook, all these bells and whistles.
However, who made the shop opened in the second half of this year really busy, and the three daughters-in-law also helped a lot.
Forget it, it's not bad to dress up for the New Year now.
Thinking of this, Li Shi turned a blind eye and didn't care anymore.
"By the way, eldest daughter-in-law, the basket of eggs next to you, the three of you took the time to divide it, the second day of the first month is not to go back to your parents' house, these eggs should be regarded as a gift to the family."
Li is not at home, and the chickens at home have not dealt with the eggs, and now he sees that there are too many eggs saved, and after thinking about it, Li is in charge and directly sells one of the three people.
The three of Liu's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they only felt that her mother was really generous.
In this basket of eggs, there are at least a hundred smaller ones, and the three of them divide them equally, and one person can almost get more than thirty, he, but a lot.
Thanking Li with a smile, Liu quickly put away this basket of eggs, and prepared to take advantage of Li's absence to divide it with Yuan Cheng for a while.
Li didn't care, and took out some of the pork at home and divided it one by one, all of which were used to go back to his parents' house on the second day of the first lunar month.
And there are a lot of things at home, after all, there is no accident, Zhao Jinyan and Zhao Yinyan sisters will also come back on the second day of the first month, and on the fifth day of the first month, the surrounding relatives will also come to visit, not more to prepare some things, and it will be embarrassing if it is not enough.
…………
At noon, Li and the others put in a lot of effort, including the hot pot, and the preparation was extremely rich.
Bacon, sausages, and dried meat brought from the shops in the city were all on the table.
In addition, there are various dishes such as marinated meat, braised pork, bone broth, pork ribs, hot and sour vermicelli and other dishes at home.
There are also a lot of dumplings, and there are pork and Songcai fillings, and there are also eggs and Songcai fillings, but they are all taken out and frozen outside, ready to be eaten at night vigil.
After serving the prepared meals on the table, Zhao Fuxiang sat on the main seat, looking at the children and grandchildren who were full of things at the moment, it was even more difficult to suppress the joy in his heart, and he drank two taels of white wine happily.
followed a few sons, and imagined the beautiful situation of the coming year one after another, and this meal was very harmonious.
After eating, everyone had nothing to do, so they all hurried back to squint and sleep, nourish their spirits, and keep a good night for the New Year.
In winter, it gets dark very quickly.
Seeing that the sky outside had darkened, Zhao Fuxiang lit the two oil lamps on several tables in the hall early.
The lamp oil in the oil lamp is also used with vegetable oil from the home.
The taste of vegetable oil is small when it is burned, and since the family has made money, for these little things, whether it is Li or Zhao Fuxiang, they are not very strictly controlled, so that the amount of oil lamps in each room has risen sharply, and they are all very arrogant.
After lighting the oil lamp, Zhao Fuxiang found a pair of thumb-thick red candles bought by Li from the house.
Fix it, light it, take out the lantern that Li used to set up a stall when he went to the temple fair before, and put the candle inside.
Then, Zhao Fuxiang beckoned Zhao Shanlin, who came over, and hung two lanterns with candles directly on the pear tree in the yard of his house.
The red lantern emitted a faint light, which immediately filled the Zhao family's courtyard with brilliance.
The dressed children couldn't help but run out and have fun in the yard.
Suddenly, the children's laughter filled the entire courtyard.
Seeing this, Li simply lit a fire in the hall at the main entrance, so that the men could also have a place to rest.
And the women were taken to the kitchen by the Li family to prepare the food for the vigil.
There are many customs for the Chinese New Year, the first of which is that the oil lamp in the house cannot be extinguished.
Therefore, the entire Zhao family's courtyard, regardless of whether there was anyone in the house where they lived, all lit the lamp oil, and there was light everywhere.
Dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is simple and not as complicated as lunch.
Because dumplings were prepared as the main dish in advance, the Li family took the Liu family and the three of them, but they also made several common dishes such as braised pork, braised meatballs, mixed tofu, stewed vermicelli with Songcai, and mountain mushroom soup as side dishes.
When everything was ready, the whole family gathered together in the hall and sat down to eat together.
At the end of the year, it is only during the New Year's holidays that the men, women and children of the family can be at the same table.
Therefore, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also very joyful.
After dinner, Li and the others began to wash the dishes, brush the pots, and clean up the kitchen.
Zhao Fuxiang and others took out the fruit pastries that had been stored at home for a long time, put them on a plate and put them at hand, the children circled around the adults, and the adults discussed the situation next year, while taking care that the children must not bump into it.
In Zhao Yu's opinion, the vigil is boring.
After Li and the others joined in, Zhao Yu lay directly on Li's lap, listening to the gossip and gossip of the adults, and rubbing his eyes sleepily.
Later, I don't know what happened, Zhao Yu fell asleep directly.
Li felt a sinking in his legs, and looked down to see that he was asleep.
Hurriedly gesticulating, Li hurriedly carried Zhao Yu into the back room.
didn't send it to Yuan's house, and slept directly in their main house.
Not only Zhao Yu, but also Zhao Dongmei and a few other small ones were also sleepy.
They were all carried on their backs or carried back to their own houses to sleep.
After the children have left, the only way to keep the New Year is to go down to the adults in the house.
The furnace was raised more vigorously, and the Li people began to gossip about the affairs of the village.
Because the Li family has never come back, so I don't know much about the things in the village, but fortunately, there are Liu and others, and the words are not ambiguous, almost from the beginning to the end, everything that can be said has been said, and the Li family who listened nodded again and again.
When it came to the third watch, everyone reacted, it was not too early, and they hurried back to the house to sleep.
