γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Belch......
Harukeda was embarrassed again.
"That, I'm ......"
"Okay." But before she could say that she was ugly, Chai Dong had already turned his head a little, and then picked up Chai and walked forward.
Why did he suddenly agree so readily? Or is it ...... Don't want her to continue to be embarrassed?
Chunzhi pursed her lips, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly raised her heels.
The two of them together, Chunzhi picked up firewood according to experience and tied it up, and Chai Dong took it on his back, his movements became more and more skillful, and his cooperation became more and more tacit. Unconsciously, the awkward atmosphere that diffused between the two people slowly disappeared.
By the time they had collected enough firewood and returned, they were already side by side. Although he didn't speak, the intimate gesture was visible to anyone.
Huang made turnip cake this time. It is to wash the white radish and cut it into thin strips, and marinate it with salt for a while. The spilled radish juice is poured out separately and mixed with the sticky rice flour to form a thick pulp. Then cut a little pork belly and stir-fry the oil, then add shredded radish and stir-fry. When the fragrance is overflowing, add the shredded radish and stir-fry. Stir-fry shredded radish and radish pulp together, add salt to taste, and then steam in a steamer.
Things are simple, and there are not many materials, but after steaming, the lid of the steamer is lifted, and the fragrance of radish accompanied by the rich fragrance of lard hits the face, which makes people hungry and swallow saliva.
Wang let the radish cake cool and then poured it out, cut it into small pieces, first took a large piece for Chai Dong, and then gave a small piece to Chunzhi. "Let's eat!"
Chunzhi hurriedly picked it up and took a bite, and she immediately squinted her eyes comfortably.
"It's delicious! Mother, you're amazing! She nodded hurriedly, and quickly took several more bites.
Growing up in the village since she was a child, even having a full meal is a luxury for her, let alone eating such a snack? In particular, pork is added to the confectionery! Harue really felt like she was going to die happily.
Wang smiled proudly: "This thing is simple, I can make more dim sum!" When you have money in the future, I'll make a few more, and keep it so that you can't stop eating! β
"Really? Mother, who did you learn from? Harueda asked hurriedly.
"Follow...... Can you handle it? Wang reacted quickly this time, and she immediately glared at Chunzhi, "If you have something to eat, you can give me a good meal!" What you shouldn't know, you don't ask! β
So he hurried out.
Harueda sighed helplessly. "I'll just ask, I don't mean anything else!"
"Then you shouldn't ask." Chai Dong next to him suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
Chunzhi turned around and saw that his eyes were also slightly heavy.
"There are some things that you don't know are actually better for you." He whispered, and then lowered his head and took a small bite of the turnip cake at hand. Eating almost half of it, seeing that the piece in Chunzhi's hand was also half eaten, he jerked her pastry over and stuffed his own into her hand.
Harukeda was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"
"Shh Chai Dong hurriedly shook his head, "Beware of my mother to hear it!" β
Then if Wang came in and saw her holding Chai Dong's dim sum in her hand, she would definitely be angry again.
Harue understood what he meant, of course, and she quickly shut up.
Chai Dong ate her half in two bites, and asked her again, "Will your brother and sister like to eat this?" β
"Definitely! Some of them are happy to die when they eat them, let alone such delicious pastries? Harueda nodded busily.
"Well, that's fine." Chai Dong nodded, then turned around and went out.
He...... Just gone? Haruzhi was a little dazed. She looked down at the radish cake in her hand, which was much larger than the piece of pastry that Wang had given her, even if there was only half left, and slowly brought the pastry to her mouth and ate it one bite at a time.
In the evening, Haruka didn't struggle any more and just lay down on the bed.
Chai Dong heard the voice coming from behind him, and a smile slowly appeared on his face facing the wall.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chunzhi got up early in the morning and cleaned up the house with Chai Dong and the Wang family. Chai Dong also wrote a few couplets with a stroke of a pen, and pasted them at the gate, at the door of each room, and at the door of the kitchen. Chunzhi then cut a few squares of paper with the remaining red paper and handed them to Chai Dong, who dipped a brush in ink and wrote a few big blessing characters, and Chunzhi also took them and pasted them on the window.
The room was full of joy for a moment, that is...... It's still too lonely.
Counting it up, this is the first time that Chunzhi has celebrated the New Year outside of Gujia Village. I remember that in my mother's house before, there were so many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and everyone laughed and made trouble on the New Year's Day, not to mention how lively it was. Especially before the reunion dinner, everyone has to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, although she is a girl and can't enter the ancestral hall, but the girls in the village get together to play, it is also lively!
However, the Wang family and Chai Dong no longer belong to Wangjia Village, and now they are only temporarily living here, so the ancestor worship of Wangjia Village has nothing to do with them. Wang's Chai Dong had almost no contact with the people in the village, so this year was only spent by the three of them. This is called the spring branch that is used to the lively and lively New Year, and feels a little desolate.
Chai Dong noticed her Yixing, and his expression also dimmed.
Wang saw that her son was unhappy, and she was not happy either. She hurriedly spoke to Chunzhi: "I can tell you, my family is on this condition, our mother and son have lived like this every time during the Chinese New Year before, and it will definitely be like this in the future, you better get used to it for me as soon as possible, otherwise I don't care!" β
She knows, isn't she adapting now? It's just that it takes a little bit of time to get used to it! Harueda whispered in her heart.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the meowing of a cat coming from the rooftop.
Chunzhi's heart moved, and he hurriedly raised his head, and suddenly a smile bloomed on his face.
When Wang heard this voice, her face turned black directly. "Hurry up and get these cats down for me! I just fixed the roof, I can't let them trample on it! β
"Okay, got it!" Haruka nodded quickly and greeted the cats.
The cats immediately jumped off the roof.
And when they hit the ground with their feet, Harue discovers that almost every one of these cats has a fish in their mouths!
After Wang and Chai Dong found out, they were also stunned.
"What are they doing here?"
Chunzhi had already lowered her head, touching the heads of the cats that had come to her one by one, and then looked at the pile of live fish at her feet, she sighed in a low voice: "They are here to send us New Year's goods." β
Of these fish in front of me, the lightest one is about half a catty, and the final one should be more than two catties, right? Seeing that the fish is still wet, it should have just been fished out of the river. After being thrown into the ground, a few of them are still stubbornly doing their last struggle.
Looks...... Well, it should taste good.
After bringing the fish to the feet of Haruzhi, the cats took a step back and sat down across from them, raising their heads and looking at them with round eyes.
Wang snorted lowly: "Even if they have a little conscience, they know that they will be rewarded for eating my family's food!" β
Chai Dong frowned. "So, should we keep them for Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"They've already brought their own food, isn't it too much for us to leave them behind?" As Chunzhi spoke, the little two turned their heads to look at Wang's side.
Wang immediately stomped his feet in anger.
"Okay, I'll just say why are they so diligent today, and they want to come to my house to eat? This one by one, I'm really blackmailed, isn't it? After shouting and scolding, she changed her words again, "Forget it, for the sake of them still knowing how to bring fish over, then leave them for a meal." But just this one, there won't be much in the future! β
"This one is enough!" Haruka nodded hurriedly.
With Wang's concession, she was in a good mood immediately, and quickly picked up the fish: "Mother, I'm going to wash and dissect the fish!" β
"Hurry up and go to you!" Wang waved his hand speechlessly.
There were so many fish, Wang picked up a large one wrapped in flour and steamed it, and two small ones made a soup. As for the rest, she picked up five or six smaller ones and boiled them in plain water, added some vegetable leaves, and boiled the boss's pot. When everything was cooked, she used a basin to put the fish on the table where the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was placed: "This is your Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, eat!" β
When the cats smelled the fragrance, they immediately meowed, and they all rushed over, formed a circle around the basin, and ate it in a big gulp.
Chunzhi looked at such a picture, and she hurriedly turned to Wang: "Mother, thank you." β
"Don't think that a few kind words will make me promise to keep these wild cats! Our family can't afford it! Wang's eyes immediately widened again.
Haruka is so helpless. "I don't have that idea."
"You don't have it now, but you definitely will have it later!" Wang said viciously. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
