There is also a part of sauerkraut meat buns.

Liu Ya has also made sour cabbage stew on the stove in the boiler room.

Muffin also made a potato stew.

The dishes were served, and everyone was hungry.

Xiao Chen was curious about the yellow bean paste bun and jujube paste bun.

Liu Ya handed it to him: "Break it first, burn it." ”

Xiao Chen broke open a jujube paste and handed half of it to Liu Ya.

Then I couldn't wait to take a bite: "It's so soft." ”

Before he came here, he didn't know there was such a thing as soft yellow rice. I thought that the only soft rice was glutinous rice.

"There is still soft yellow rice, which is delicious." Xiao Chen said.

"Now there is none, there used to be soft sorghum." Zhou Zhigao smiled: "When your grandfather was alive, he loved to eat cakes made of soft sorghum. ”

Cake is a food unique to the Northwest.

It is generally made with this soft yellow rice noodle.

It's the big one, you can wrap bean paste, jujube paste, brown sugar, or cabbage.

Then rub, or fry.

Frying is to fry in an oil pan until the surface is golden.

Rubbing it, that is, the grease on the pan is on the chin, which makes the surface a little burnt.

Of course, this is the final step.

It's a very difficult thing to do.

To use boiling water and noodles first, and then knead into a small ball, the middle of the ball must be breathable. Then put on the pot and steam.

After half an hour, boil the pot, take it out and then rub it, this step is the most critical.

It is to use your hands to make the noodles extremely smooth, because you must carry it as soon as it comes out of the pot, and it will be hard when it is late.

So it's hot.

After you have it, it is a cake dumpling. At this time, you can actually eat it, and Liu Ya likes to eat cake dumplings at this time.

But that's not the end of the story.

Then make it into small pieces, wrap things or not, wrap anything at will.

Then it is fried or rubbed.

This thing, the receptionist. In particular, the red and white banquet is a must.

Chinese New Year is not necessarily.

You can do it if you want.

But apparently Liu Yajia is not doing it this year.

Speaking of this, Xiao Chen felt hungry again, but he didn't say it, it was really not easy to sit up.

But fortunately he didn't say it, because he only ate half of this sweet yellow rice bread.

Okay, he's not good with sweets.

Obviously, Liu Ya is not very good, and the two of them eat one together.

I went to eat vegetable buns.

Finally, this year did not happen at the last minute.

Although the wind is strong and sometimes small, it is still within the acceptable range, of course, it is the breadth of the acceptable range of people.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone makes dumplings while talking.

In the past, the older ones watched the Spring Festival Gala, and the younger ones either played cards or did some work.

may also watch the Spring Festival Gala together and complain.

It's more about holding your phone and playing.

There are a lot of red envelopes on this night, everywhere, and there are various activities on various merchant platforms, so they are busy anyway.

This year, mobile phones are useless.

However, at eight o'clock, a simple New Year's greeting was also heard on the radio, as well as the blessings and songs of several stars who were quite familiar in the past.

There was no elation, just calm wishes and encouragement, and then the songs of those blessings were sung.

Listening to the familiar song through the airwaves, it is hard to think that perhaps these people have also lost their families.

Maybe not, but they're certainly not the glamorous they used to be.

has lost the aura of idol stars, but they have become an existence that can encourage everyone.

From eight o'clock to ten o'clock, I listened to a lot of songs and listened to a lot of blessings.

At the end, the familiar host said in an emotional voice: "The past few months have been months that we never thought of before. It will go on for a long, long time. But at least we're alive. To live is to have hope, and to live is everything. Winter is coming to an end, and spring is always coming. We will also have a new life. Don't give up, friends, and never give up. The Motherland is with us. ”

This kind of talk can be heard in previous years, but it is far less than what it feels now.

It was a sourness that spread from the bottom of my heart.

Then, people can't help but cry.

"Finally, let us observe a moment of silence for the departed. I pray for the future of the living. ”

There was no sound on the radio, but everyone was encouraged.

The radio at the brigade headquarters was also played all the time today, facing the horn.

Although not everyone in the village could hear it, everyone who heard it was crying at this time.

Especially those who have lost family and friends, and they are crying bitterly.

People are strange, sometimes fragile and vulnerable, sometimes powerful and invincible.

At least, when you don't give up, you can really swim against the current.

As long as you want to live, you can always live.

At twelve o'clock, Zhou Zhigao didn't go out to set off the cannon, and it was windy. In case this artillery battle blows away, where the fire is caused, it will be too late to put out the fire in this weather.

The people in the village probably thought so, but this made the troops give the artillery battle in vain.

"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year. In the new year, our family will be fine. At twelve o'clock, Liu Ya smiled.

"Okay, you're all right." After all, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Jing went back.

There were only four people in the house, and there were two large dogs lying on the ground.

"According to the rules, Xiao Chen just came here this year, and he gave a big red envelope for the New Year, but now there is nothing. If you don't give it, you'll have a good time. Zhou Zhigao said.

"Dad, don't worry." Xiao Chen took Liu Ya by the hand: "No matter how difficult the days are, we will be fine, and our family will be fine together." ”

The weather is too cold, and there is no need to stay up late.

So I still slept.

It's just that as soon as I got up early, it was still very early, and Liu Ya was knocked on the door.

"Hurry up, you can't sleep lazy today." Muffin said.

Liu Ya covered her head and drilled into Xiao Chen's arms.

"Mom, we'll be up right away." Xiao Chen is also sleepy.

After a while, the two of them still got up, but they didn't call the family several times.

They wore red cardigans for couples.

Liu Ya wore a very loose style, with her hand-tied ball head, which looked petite, cute and white.

Xiao Chen is handsome.

Two went downstairs to greet the New Year.

Today, Zhou Zhigao and Ma Fen also changed into new clothes, after all, it is the New Year, even if they can't go out, they have to be at home.

People, the most afraid is to lose that vitality, and you have to have mental strength in the process of life. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more and more unbearable?

So everyone tacitly doesn't think about those disasters, at least today is the New Year, and we still have to live well.

In the morning, it was steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables, and rice was also made for Xiao Chen.

According to local customs, stir-fried vegetables are served in the morning and dumplings are served at noon.

It was also a table in the morning, certainly not as much as in previous years.

Everyone also had a happy meal.

Of course, such a strong wind, receiving the gods or something, can only be held at home.

Young people don't care about that, but at times like this, it's good to have faith. So Liu Ya didn't say anything.

After eating, it stands to reason that it is time to go to my relatives.

The local custom is that the first day of junior high school goes to the relatives of the family, and the second, third, and fourth years go to the mother's house, sisters, aunts, uncles and aunts, etc.
