Chapter 128: Go home for the New Year

After opening the kiln, Su Cuifeng screamed excitedly,

"Great, great, I can bake sweet potatoes!"

Then he put the sweet potatoes he had prepared earlier in the hole of the kiln, excitedly stuffed firewood into it, and watched the flames get stronger and stronger, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Each of you four sisters and brothers guards a kiln to see who burns well and burns well!" Father Su also rarely smiled.

"Dad, it must be me!" Su Xiaoyun swore an oath.

"Cut, sister, I was young before, I dare to assure you, this time it must be me!" Su Cuifeng was not to be outdone.

However, Su Xiaoxiu sat there silently and lit the fire seriously.

Su Yue happened to sit among them, she sat on the stool, looked left and right, the flame reflected everyone's face red, and there was a jumping starlight in everyone's eyes.

It's really good.

Such a peaceful day is what she longs for.

After experiencing the ups and downs of his previous life, Su Yue thought that family harmony and beauty were the most important things.

After a while, Liu came up with a pot of tea, and Su Yue helped her hand the teacup to the third and second uncles.

"Third uncle, is my aunt back?" Su Yue and the third aunt taught in junior high school together, and the relationship was relatively good.

And Su Yue's third uncle is a person who is not smiling, he took the teacup with a wooden face, the tongs in his hand were not idle at all, and continued to hand firewood inside.

"She'll be back tomorrow with your brother!"

The third uncle and the third aunt have a son, and this little guy is only in the second grade of primary school.

"What about the fourth uncle, are they coming back for the New Year?" Su Yue asked again.

"I don't know, I called before and said I was back, maybe I won't come back until the twenty-ninth or the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve!" The third uncle took a sip of tea.

Su Yue asked the second uncle next to him at the same time,

"Second uncle, did you win money playing cards?"

"Nope!" Su Yue's second uncle has the best relationship with Su Yue, and he often smiles at Su Yue.

"Haha, that's fine, you made money anyway!"

Su Yue's second uncle goes out to work all the year round, his skills are good, he can earn a lot of money every year, and he is very economical, almost does not spend much money, except for playing cards and losing some money, he has no other expenses, and the money is handed over to the third uncle to deposit in the credit union for him.

"What about you, how much money have you made this year!" The second uncle asked her with a smile.

The third uncle next to him was also rarely interested,

"Your aunt said that you ran a class, and the school teachers were envious, how much money did you make in running a cram school!"

Su Yue said proudly, "Uncle, I have earned a total of about 5,000 yuan this year, except for my school salary!" ”

"That's good!" The second uncle gave her a thumbs up.

The third uncle also showed a rare smile on the side, "Yes, yes, it's just that teaching is your job, you can't waste it, you still have to take classes seriously, by the way, what did you do in the provincial capital a few days ago?" Your dad is still here to ask! ”

Su Yue explained, "I want to do a few projects and make a set of teaching aids, by the way, third uncle, when my teaching assistants come out, you have to help me get your school done!" ”

"What? Teaching aids? The third uncle frowned a little strangely.

Su Yue then said, "Now we don't have any good teaching aids on the market, I want to find someone to write a set of teaching aids!" ”

"Do you really have an idea, is this so easy to do? It's so easy, someone has already done it, don't think about it, do your job well! "Third uncle's serious lesson.

Su Yue knew his temper, smiled in his heart, and nodded yes on his face.

After burning for half an hour, Su Cuifeng's sweet potatoes were roasted, and he ate them in a hurry.

Su Xiaoyun and Su Xiaoxiu's sweet potatoes were also baked.

Everyone compared, and it was really not good to burn Su Yue's kiln.

"Sister, you can't do anything except read!" Su Cuifeng disliked her and said.

Su Yue laughed.

Su Xiaoyun took half of the sweet potato in his hand and gave it to Su Yue,

"Sister, my roast is delicious!"

Su Yue hadn't eaten baked sweet potatoes for a long time, so he ate them.

When Su Xiaoxiu saw it, she silently changed her seat to her kiln hole, and lit a fire for Su Yue while eating sweet potatoes.

Su Yue smiled like a flower.

In her previous life, as the eldest sister, she once envied others as sisters, but in this life, she felt very happy to have them.

The kiln burned until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and then went back to sleep one after another.

Early the next morning, Su's father got up to see the kiln, and the fire of the kiln could not be broken.

Su Cuifeng also got up and joined in the fun.

Liu cooked noodles early, and after the three sisters ate them, Su Xiaoyun and Su Xiaoxiu also roasted sweet potatoes in the kiln last time.

Su Yue stayed behind to help the Liu family with housework.

"Yue Yue, you help me bring all the meat to the stove, I want to smoke meat today!" Liu instructed Su Yue while washing the dishes.

Su Yue went to the front room, because he was afraid that people would steal the meat at the end of the year, so he put the meat in the vat in the back room.

The day after Su Yue went to the provincial capital, the Su family slaughtered a sow that had been raised for a year.

Got nearly two hundred pounds of meat.

People in Yeniugou Village like to make bacon, and at the end of each year, those whose family conditions are not bad will slaughter pigs for the New Year.

This year, the pig raised by Su Yue's second uncle's family died, because the second uncle had not yet married a daughter-in-law, and Su Yue's grandmother could raise pigs at home.

Grandma Su Yue was born as a landlord and was not able to bear to do these rough jobs, so she raised a sow behind the family.

As a result, he died of illness after half a year, and then he didn't raise it.

This year, the third uncle and the fourth uncle are all at home for the New Year, and they must want pork.

Su Yue asked Liu Shi while carrying pieces of meat with iron hooks to the back stove room,

"Mom, do you want to give grandma's meat this year?"

Liu's face pulled down when he heard this,

"Twenty catties were given on the day of slaughtering the pig!"

"Oh, then they've had enough of the New Year!"

Liu nodded, "No, your grandmother is too little, saying that there are few of us, and there are many of them, what's the matter!" ”

Su Yue smiled, "We have few people, but we have to eat for a year, and they will ask for meat for the New Year, besides, the second uncle and grandma have money, they can buy a little meat!" ”

"Who said no, we give your grandmother 800 catties of rice every year, and 20 catties of meat for the New Year, it's about the same! Our family has a heavy burden, what burden do they have, your grandmother never wants to reduce the burden on us, she just thinks about herself! Liu complained.

Su Yue smiled and didn't make a sound.

Her grandmother has four sons, but she always dislikes Su Yue's father, and feels like the eldest is picking it up.

Usually eccentric to the other three.

Su Yue likes to eat bacon and bacon, she helped Liu put the meat out, and then put it on a large water tank, Liu has put bran and charcoal into the water tank, turned around and lit the charcoal, buried the chaff, and the smoke came out one by one.

In the countryside, this old-fashioned method is used to smoke meat.

"Yue Yue, I have to buy some noodles, there is no noodles at home, and I have to go to the tofu house to buy some tofu, I told him yesterday, just go and get it today, the New Year, there are many people who want tofu, I have to go quickly, otherwise someone will rob you, you are at home, you have to come and see from time to time, don't burn it!"

Liu repeatedly explained, wiped his hands, took off his apron and took a dozen yuan to go out.

There was a hole in the big tank of bacon, and the charcoal fire burned in it, and it was covered with a thick layer of chaff.

Su Yue sat on a small stool and tilted his head to look at the charcoal fire, and when he saw that it was prosperous, he stuffed some chaff into it, and when the fire was small, he added some charcoal to keep the fire stable.

There is a lot of charcoal in the place where the fire is burned under the stove, and the so-called charcoal is not the briquettes bought, but the charcoal left over from the firewood, which will be filled with a jar on the side, which can be used when the coal fire is burned.

You don't need to buy any of this.

Ordinary people burn charcoal, and only those who have the conditions to buy briquettes to burn the stove and roast the fire.

But even if you save it, during the Chinese New Year, every household will buy some briquettes for backup.

During the Chinese New Year, when there are too many people to cope with it, they will use briquettes to burn a stove and use it to boil water and make soup.

Su Yue had only been in the back for three minutes before he heard a loud voice outside.

It sounds like a quarrel.
