Chapter 169: It's New Year!
Before leaving the space, Yunshang took braised beef, two pork belly, a stick bone, and a dozen ribs from the supermarket and put them in a basket. He also wrapped the cooled meatballs and roasted tofu slices separately and put them on top of the bones.
After that, I went to the dried vegetable area and took kelp, bamboo shoots, vermicelli, tofu skin, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus, and cabbage and white radish from the space, all of which were packed into a large basket.
There are many kinds of food, but the amount of each item is not much, and one big basket holds it all.
Yunshang flashed out of the space, quietly touched the kang, and tiptoed into the side room where the rations were placed.
In the house, near the north wall, there were several ropes hanging from the beams, on which were placed a wide plank, on which were arranged five large baskets, which were used for food rations.
The reason why the rations are hung in the air is to prevent rats.
Yunshang collected a basket, put the basket containing New Year's goods in the space on the wooden board, and then returned to the main house and quietly got into the bed.
On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yun Shuilian got up early to clean up inside and outside the house, but Yun Xiang stayed until nine o'clock in the morning, until the old couple and Yun Erchuan came over with rations and food, and then they got up and dressed slowly.
The old lady first picked up the teapot on the stove, poured hot water for Yunshang to wash her face, and then took out the sweet potatoes that had been roasted on the side of the stove all night and gave them to Yunshang for breakfast.
The old man took a broom to clean the gate, Yunshang wiped the cream in the mirror, held the sweet potato in his little hand, carried the small horse, and ran to the door to accompany the old man with a cigarette.
"Master! It's cloudy again, is it going to snow again tomorrow? ”
The old man looked at the sky, looked back at Yunshang who was sitting at the gate, and responded, "It's good to snow, if it snows tomorrow, next year will be a bumper harvest year!" ”
Yunshang wrinkled her little nose and muttered, "But if it snows in Ming'er, it will be difficult to walk on the road, there is no mule cart, and Second Brother Gu will have to walk for several hours when he comes over." ”
The old man didn't hear what Yunshang said clearly, and was about to turn around and ask, when a person turned out of the alley behind him and greeted the old man, "Fellow, sweep the floor?" ”
"Hmm." Seeing that the person who greeted him was a bad element who had been sent over, the old man responded coldly and stopped talking.
The man put down the basket behind him, shoveled up the cow dung on the side of the road, and continued to ask, "Fellow, the county gave your baby a commendation two days ago, right?" I heard that your baby has made meritorious contributions to catching spies in the provincial capital, which is amazing! ”
The old man's face looked better, his mouth was modest, but his voice was full of pride, "It's nothing remarkable, it's the luck of the babies, they just happened to meet, and the spy is unlucky!" ”
It's not that the spy is unlucky, where to hide, but hide until my baby's eyes are low, who will you catch if you don't catch it?
This bad element is bad, and he is quite discerning, and he knows that my baby is amazing......
The expression on the man's face froze for a moment, and then he lowered his voice again and continued, "Fellow, my family is in the Beishan Coal Mine, I heard that the spy captured by your baby is the spy who blew up the Beishan Coal Mine......"
"Master! Grandma calls you home to work! Yun Sheng sat in the doorway and shouted, interrupting the bad guys.
"Hey~ I'm back!" The old man made a few last strokes of the broom, turned and walked towards the courtyard.
The bad guy stood in place, looking at Yunshang from a distance, and when Yunshang raised his head, met his gaze, grinned, lowered his head again, and continued to walk outside the village.
Yunshang looked at the back of the bad actor and fell into deep thought.
This person was the bad guy who scared her in the office of the brigade headquarters that day, when the cold and bloodthirsty aura around him was almost overflowing, and she was terrified at a glance, and a layer of cold sweat subconsciously appeared on her back.
The same face, but at this time, it seems like a different person, with a gentle and honest face, bent over the waist, and a middle-aged man who has been hit hard by life.
How can a person change so much before and after?
Yunshang stood in place for a while, and saw Li Hongmei holding the bolt from a distance, supporting her waist with one hand, and moving small steps towards this side.
Looking at Li Hongmei's pretentious walking posture, the corners of Yunsheng's mouth twitched a few times, picked up the small horse under her feet, and turned back to the house.
The reason why Li Hongmei was called over to eat was because he was concerned about the face of the old couple and Yun Erchuan, and also wanted to take the goodwill of the whole family member on Chinese New Year's Eve, so he chose to take a step back, not because Yun Xiang had no prejudice against Li Hongmei in his heart.
Li Hongmei is a little more interesting today, An An divides herself as a guest, if she is not interesting, dare to say something bad on Chinese New Year's Eve, which makes the old two unhappy, Yun Xiang dares to turn her face directly, and then drive Li Hongmei back.
"Grandpa, grandma, I can't reach the New Year's goods, you can help me take the New Year's goods down!"
The old lady had just put the pinched cornmeal steamed buns into the pot, and when she heard Yunsheng shouting, she turned around and washed her hands, and came out one after the other with the old man.
"Dress, what's the New Year's goods? Where do you put it, I will get it for you. ”
Yunshang didn't answer, took the hands of the old couple into the side room, pointed to the big basket hanging above his head and said, "Grandpa, grandma, Second Brother Gu put the New Year's goods in the basket on the side for me, I can't reach ......"
"Master took it for you." The old man reached out and checked the bottom of the basket, carefully removed the basket from the plank, and took it off with the help of the old lady.
"Milk, there are two cabbages in the basket, and a few white radish, what kind of dumplings do we eat at night?"
"Let's eat cabbage filling, it's fresher than radish dumplings."
The old couple lifted the basket to a bright place, and Yunshang lifted the fine gauze covering the basket, took out the cabbage and white radish first, and pointed to the things below:
"Milk, there's a lot of dried vegetables in the basket, and now it's going to be soaked. This big bag is fried meatballs and vegetarian meatballs, as well as fried sweet potatoes, which can be eaten as a snack on weekdays. There is meat at the bottom, let's make dumplings. There are also big bones, stewed on the stove before going to bed at night, and when Ming'er stews fragrantly, we can drink soup and eat hot pot. ”
The old couple looked at the basket full of food, and their eyes were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall out, especially when they saw the fried meatballs and tofu, the old lady's distressed mouth turned white:
"Ouch, this oil is so expensive! These two children, why are they willing to be banned from oil! The oil cost to fry these things is enough for our family to eat for two months. Oops, Te won't live anymore. ”
Yunshang blinked, consciousness entered the space, and immediately washed a white porcelain jar for pickles, poured a large bucket of dark-colored rapeseed oil into it, and pointed to another basket on the wooden board and said:
"Master, there is a big jar of oil in that basket, you can also help me take it down, it will be easier for us to eat oil in the future."
