In the end, the three of them didn't go shopping, and spent an hour in the KTV before they separated, each going back to their own homes and looking for their own mothers.

When Yan Muqing arrived home, the snow in the yard had been swept away. Only the vegetable garden outside the fence was still covered with a layer of snow that was not thin or thick. Beans, cucumbers... The seedlings have been pulled a long time ago, the land has been cleared, and a pit has been dug in the center, in which are carrots and sweet potatoes, and covered with a thick layer of dry firewood, so that it is no problem to survive the winter. At this time, the snow on the dry wood also has a tendency to melt, revealing the dry yellow leaves, and under the fence, the melted snow water flows down the wood, soaking the soil under the fence, and then down the small slope, leaving a long watermark.

"Mom, I'm back" Before anyone saw it, the sound came first.

"Yan Muqing, you're back" Before the mother could reply, Yan Aiqing jumped out of the house.

"Coming back?" Yan Muqing patted Yan Aiqing on the shoulder in the first part.

"yes, I got home early in the morning, look, I poured out the snow here, isn't it?" Yan Aiqing pointed to the yard that had been cleaned up, and said proudly, looking like a primary school student waiting for praise.

"You're back, shouldn't you push it, do you still want your parents to push it?" Yan Muqing glanced at him, and Yan Aiqing walked towards the house with his shoulders around him.

"How did you eat at this banquet, did you bring back the candy?"

After entering the house, Yan Muqing took off her coat and sat on the sofa to rest for a while before taking out the heart-shaped souvenir from her bag.

"Is this candy? Is this packaging so exquisite? Yan Aiqing came over and begged for fine candy to eat.

"Where's Mom and Dad?" There was no figure of Yan's father and Yan's mother in the house.

"Mom and Dad went to the supermarket, didn't you say that your partner will come tomorrow, let Brother Yisheng leave some fresh vegetables and meat tomorrow" Yan Aiqing is still studying the small box.

Yan Muqing looked at his struggling appearance, hey, it's really stupid.

"Take it, I'll open it for you" said Yan Aiqing snatched the box in his hand, there was a button on one side of the box, and with a slight "click", the lid of the box automatically popped open.

"Is it so advanced?" Yan Aiqing snatched it again.

The two sisters have been like this since they were children, fighting and making trouble, and their relationship is very good, even if they are adults now, one goes south to study, the other goes north to work, and they don't see each other a few times a year, but they are still hot and ruthless when they meet.

"Don't blame the box for your own low, I'll see what's inside?" Yan Muqing was also very curious.

A small bag of candy is indispensable, as well as a small red rose, as if made of soap, so you can wash your hands...

Well, it's really small.

"Nuo, give you the candy to eat" Saying that, Yan Muqing threw the bag of candy to Yan Aiqing, about five or six yuan.

After the two chatted for a few words, Yan's father and Yan's mother came back from outside, each carrying a big bag in their hands, and the family dog also circled around the feet of the two, and came forward from time to time to smell the bag.

Yan Muqing got up and went out, and took the bag in the hands of Yan's father and mother, oh! It's pretty heavy.

"What did you buy, so heavy?" Yan Muqing said as she quickly carried the two bags into the kitchen.

"Two big carps, and a bag of elbows," Yan's mother explained behind Yan Muqing, and stomped the snow on her boots at the door before entering the house.

"Why do you buy so much? I can't eat it" Yan Muqing opened the bag, put the fish into the big basin, added some water, and the two carp came back to life when they met the water, and they writhed their huge bodies in the basin with great difficulty. The fish was big and small, fluttered a few times, and then stood still as if it were dead.

"Braised one tomorrow

, Another stewed pickle, I look very big, and the price is right, so I bought it back" Yan's mother put the elbow meat into another basin and chatted with Yan Muqing.

"By the way, what does Xiao Lu like to eat, I'll prepare it tomorrow"

"He's not a picky eater, just cook at home" Yan Muqing thought about it for a while, it seemed that Lu Anming didn't have any taboos, and he didn't see any dishes he particularly liked.

"How can that work, how can you not make people laugh at it"

"I'll ask in a moment"

"How is today's wedding, how is the banquet?" the busy kitchen couple began to chat.

"The banquet is very good, it is the middle and upper grade of Yuelai Hotel, how bad can Li Nianci's father's money be?"

"Hey, Cici got married and went through a catastrophe, but the ending is always good" The matter between Li Nianci and Mr. Chen, Yan's mother knows it, every time Li Nianci comes, the two little sisters don't shy away from talking about their mother.

"When you get married, you will be down-to-earth, live a good life, and live well is better than anything else"

"Let's have something simple to eat in the evening," Yan Muqing suggested.

"What do you want to eat?" Yan's mother's hand to open the refrigerator stopped.

"I'll do it, you can either go back to the house and rest, or give me a hand"

"Then I'll do it with you, and see what weird stuff you make to eat"

"Okay, you wash two potatoes and one carrot and cut them into small pieces."

After Yan Muqing finished speaking, he took out the pork ribs he bought before from the refrigerator and put them in cold water to melt.

"Okay," said Yan, the mother took two potatoes and a carrot from the vegetable basket and got busy.

"Li Nianci got married, is it really tortuous?" Yan Muqing peeled the onion and garlic while chatting with Yan's mother.

That is, the oolong incident at the time of kissing, and the hearty laughter of the mother and daughter came from time to time in the kitchen.

The pork ribs are melted, put green onions and ginger in a pot under cold water, a little cooking wine, a spoonful of salt, blanch them to remove the fishy smell.

"Alas, you go and change your clothes, why don't you wear this to cook" Yan's mother pushed Yan Muqing with her elbow.

"I forgot" After speaking, Yan Muqing shook off the water in his hand and went back to the house to change into a lounge clothes. Floral little padded jacket, mom's brand, it is said that my mom did it when she got married, last year it was dismantled and renewed with new cotton, not thick, a thin layer of cotton, but it is still very warm. Yan's mother couldn't wear it, so it came to Yan Muqing's body, and she was wearing a pair of black down cotton pants, which were also thin.

Go back to the kitchen, tie your apron, and get busy.

It was already dark, and the street lights didn't know when they would turn on. The sky was fine, the stars were dotted at night, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and the constellation Orion was about to turn due south. The older generation of people say that Samsung is going to be in the south of the New Year, and Samsung refers to the three brightest stars in Orion. Every year during the Chinese New Year, Orion is due south. The little black dog at home didn't know when it was frozen and ran into the house, the yard was quiet, the door light was faintly shining, everything was so beautiful.

Unlike the silence of the courtyard, the kitchen is full of heat.

Yan Muqing wrapped around her mother's apron, the ribs in the pot had been fished out, the pot was washed, boiled dry and put oil, the ribs were put in after the oil was hot, and there were still some water droplets on the surface of the ribs after blanching, touching the hot oil, making a "stinging" sound, Yan Muqing lowered the intensity of the fire, gently turned the ribs with long chopsticks, and fried them on both sides to be golden brown and fished out for later use.

"Mom, you go and put some rice in the rice cooker, wash it, just the amount of rice we usually steam and don't put water after washing, I'll be useful later" After speaking, he put the pot on the stove again.

After the pot is hot, add the oil, then add the green onions, ginger and garlic in turn and stir-fry until fragrant, and then put in the fried ones

Pork ribs, stir-fry back and forth, until each rib is wrapped in the aroma of green onions, ginger and garlic, then add light soy sauce, stir evenly and put sugar, and then pour in a bowl of water, the water is not over the ribs. When the cold water meets the hot oil, there is a "stinging" sound, and a large piece of water vapor comes out, accompanied by the aroma of pork ribs.

Then put the oil, dark soy sauce, bean paste and salt, cook for three to five minutes, put in the potato and carrot pieces that Yan's mother had just cut, stir it, put in half a bowl of corn kernels and half a bowl of pea grains, and after all the ingredients are soaked in the soup, turn off the heat. First, put the pork ribs in the rice cooker, spread them on the freshly washed rice, then potatoes and carrots, and finally pour the soup and corn kernels and peas into it together, change the lid of the rice cooker, and adjust the gear to firewood rice, and it's OK.

Mother Yan had never seen this way of eating, and at the same time, she was also calmed by Yan Muqing's series of skillful movements.

"What's this way to eat?" Yan Muqing asked as she peeled the garlic.

"It's called lazy rice, it's delicious, please!" Yan Muqing took a rag and wiped the oil stains splashed on the stove, and wiped the counter by the way.

"You have a lot of tricks" Yan's mother's doting eyes kept stopping at Yan Muqing's body.

"Haha, no way, I always go out to eat alone, it's not suitable, I fry too much at home, I can control the amount and save trouble."

"Alas, Xiao Lu can't cook," he said and pulled Lu Anming again.

"Do you know how to cook instant noodles?" Yan Muqing looked at her mother with a smile.

"That's a person who will cook," Yan's mother gave her a blank look.

"Hehe, he'll do something simple, but it's not complicated."

"It's okay for two people to have one who can do it"

The mother and daughter returned to the living room, Father Yan and Yan Aiqing were watching TV, Xiao Hei was lying at Father Yan's feet, also staring at the TV, and looked up at Father Yan from time to time, like a person.

Hearing the sound of the door sliding, it stood up vigilantly, and when it saw that it was Yan's mother and Yan Muqing, it shrank the dog's head again, took two steps, and then lay at Yan's father's feet.

"Mom, eat candy" Yan Aiqing peeled off a piece of candy and stuffed it into Yan's mother's mouth.

"Sweet or not"

"It's not sweet, it's a little bitter" Yan Muqing looked at the sugar paper, coffee-flavored, can it not be bitter?

Before Yan Muqing came out of the kitchen, he untied his apron, and at this moment, he was doing it cross-legged on the sofa, his hands crossed together, and his two hands were put into the sleeves of his padded jacket, looking like an old lady.

What is playing on TV is a celebrity reality show, the one that Yan Aiqing has been chasing before, I didn't have a chance to watch it at school, so I went home and made up all the previous issues. Dad also accommodated him, and he didn't even watch the military program he liked to watch today, and watched it with relish.

Yan Muqing also looked at it for a while, and then took out her mobile phone.

What do you like to eat? ] was sent to Lu Anming.

After a while, the message came back.

[I like to eat everything you do] scumbag-style reply.

[Cut, what about the serious? Tomorrow my mother will make it for you to eat, my mother's craftsmanship is good...] balabala... The most self-mother's craftsmanship is a boast.

[Anything, you don't know me yet, and I'm not a picky eater]

[Oh well]

[What time did you go back?] Ignoring people for such a long time? An aggrieved expression.

[You big man send this expression, are you ashamed]

The two chatted back and forth, for a few minutes. Lu Anming's love words from time to time made Yan Muqing's face flush for a while.

Love knows no age, and everyone likes the feeling of being pampered. Well, it's the same if you're not ashamed, just like Lu Anming.
