When dinner was served, everyone was overjoyed when they looked at the two extra dishes. In this kind of weather, you can eat green vegetables, even dried vegetables.

Xie Wenan first picked up a chopstick cauliflower fried meat, and said with a satisfied "Hmm~": "The taste of this cauliflower fried meat is really good." After speaking, I sandwiched another piece of braised dried eggplant and brought it to my mouth. Hmm~ When you bite into the meat, it feels like it has a different flavor. ”

The Zhou family in the east room listened to his son-in-law's words, and also took a bite to taste, and immediately nodded again and again.

"Everyone come and try this dish, it tastes really good, it's the first time my wife has eaten such a delicious cauliflower."

Qi Shi also took a bite, and heard her praise said: "What my mother said is good, and my daughter-in-law is also the first time to eat such a delicious cauliflower." ”

Tong vaguely guessed that these dried vegetables must be related to Sister Qing'er, but there were so many people at this time, she didn't say anything, just opened her mouth to let everyone eat more.

As a result, after this meal was eaten, several boys shouted: I ate too much.

The calf patted his little belly and said with a satisfied smile: "Godfather, why is our cauliflower so delicious today?" ”

It's no wonder that the calf asked, cauliflower is the most common vegetable in summer, and everyone often eats it, but today everyone found out that this meal of dried cauliflower fried meat is also too delicious.

Xie Wenan saw that the two little ones in the family both looked like they liked it very much, so he touched their heads and said, "Since you like it, let's let Sister-in-law Chen cook a few more meals in the future." ”

"Uh-huh."

The two little ones nodded in response.

Later, everyone went back to their own houses, and Xie Wenan and Tong also went to the West Chamber.

In front of Yilin and Xiaoniu, Xie Wenan's words were a little covered.

"Sister Qing, is there still a lot of that (dried vegetables)?"

"Well, I've frozen some ice lumps too."

"Ice lumps?"

"Yes." After Yiqing finished speaking, she used her two hands to compare the appearance of a bundle of vegetables, and continued: "I just put it outside to try, and it turned out to be an ice lump." After Yiqing finished speaking, she was afraid that her father and mother would not know what it looked like to be frozen, so she went out and wanted to bring it in to show her father.

When she came back, she saw that she had brought in a bamboo basket from outside and placed it in the outer room. Inside the bamboo basket is white snow, and under the snow there are small green spinach trees. It's just that those little spinach are frozen into ice spinach.

Tong saw that half a basket of small spinach was frozen into ice lumps, and he felt pity.

"Such a good thing, it's so wasted."

Xie Wenan intercepted her words: "If you don't thaw it, it should be okay to just make soup and eat it directly." ”

Yiqing nodded secretly when she heard this: I didn't expect my father to understand everything.

Xie Wenan glanced at the half basket of small spinach again, and carefully picked up his little padded jacket.

"Sister Qing, don't freeze in the future, it's better to dry the vegetables."

According to Xie Wen'an's idea, in autumn, dried vegetables can be dried at home. But that frozen dish is not something that ordinary people can make.

"Hmm." Yiqing also thinks that frozen vegetables are quite stupid.

Xie Wen'an instructed Sister Qing to say a few more words, and then went back to the room with Tong. Before leaving, I didn't forget to take away the half basket of small spinach.

In the following days, Yiqing was still thinking about drying vegetables, and finally made some progress.

It snowed again on this day, and looking at the overwhelming snowflakes outside the door, Yiqing was secretly worried.

Although the mountains and snow are beautiful, there are countless risks hidden under this beauty.

At this time, heavy snow covers the mountains, and the rugged and winding mountain roads are covered by heavy snow one after another. At this time, Songling County was like a lonely city, trapped in the wind and snow surrounded by mountains.

If Shen Qian came back, he didn't know the dangers he would face along the way. As soon as she thought of this, Yiqing's heart couldn't help but feel cold. In the last letter, she had clearly told him to stay in the capital and come back to Songling when the weather was warmer.

Yiqing didn't know that someone was busy day and night in order to come to Songling earlier.

The weather in the wax moon is dripping into ice, Yiqing is okay now, and she doesn't even want to go to the house, and she doesn't want to move in the house all day.

No way, it's too cold.

Sitting in the room, listening to the north wind blowing outside the window, and the window paper also followed the hula.

Yiqing looked forward to getting dark soon, and when Yilin and the calf slept, she could go into the space to run. Otherwise, she was afraid that when spring came, the joints of her whole body would be inflexible.

Yilin and Xiaoniu, while their sister was not paying attention, ran to the front door. As soon as I opened the front door, the heavy cotton curtain had just been opened, and I felt a cold wind blowing in.

Yilin shuddered, and asked the calf, "Shall we still go out to play?" ”

The calf just wanted to say, "Just go out and play for a while." ”

But I heard my sister talking in the house: "In such a cold weather, if your little hands and feet are frozen, don't cry." ”

Thinking of the miserable situation of the previous days, the calf immediately shrunk his little neck and lowered the door curtain.

Yilin remembered that the calf was crying and chirping a few days ago, and he was also frightened and took several steps back.

The little cow took the little brother's hand with a little weakness, "Little brother, let's go back to the house." ”

"Hmm." Yilin answered, and immediately closed the front door tightly.

Seeing the two little guys, who took off their shoes and slipped on the kang again, Yiqing turned around and laughed silently.

……

In the upper room, Xie Wenan and Tong were also discussing, it was almost the New Year, whether to send the calf back for a few days.

"Don't send the calf back, you see the snow outside is knee-high, and the mountain road has long been buried by snow. Third Brother Chen is not familiar with the mountain road at all, and if there is any accident along the way, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. ”

The Tong family is very disapproving, sending the calf back at this time, of course, if the Song family comes to pick it up, it will be another matter.

Of course, Xie Wen'an thought the same as the Tong family, this kind of weather allowed Chen Sanchuan to drive the carriage to the mountain road, which was simply equivalent to murder.

After the couple discussed the calf, they talked about some things to do during the New Year.

After all, the Tong family is also here for the New Year, and the specific need to make new clothes or something should also be put on the agenda.

Tong's idea is more convenient, "A few years ago, one person had one piece of clothing and materials, including my mother and my sister-in-law, as well as Miao's mother and daughter. ”

"What about after the year?"

"What else will be in the future?"

"It's nothing, but we have to give it for the New Year's money or something."

"The New Year's money must be given, and we can't give less of the New Year's money this year." As he spoke, Tong began to count how many children there were this year.
