"Auntie, add some chili peppers, eat some spicy food in winter, and feel comfortable!" When Shen Tuantuan went to the city to buy New Year's goods, he deliberately bought a lot of chili powder.

"It's not big, is it?" Aunt Wang hesitated, "Nanxing has a light taste, shouldn't you eat spicy food?" ”

The Ning family has two grandchildren, and they have lived with the Shen family in previous years, but this year, the old man Ning has long been shy and sent twenty catties of meat and ten catties of flour to the Shen family. As for the ten catties of flour, they were returned by Aunt Wang.

Even if the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ning family waited at the Shen family for the entire New Year, they couldn't eat twenty catties of meat.

In addition, on weekdays, the Shen family also went to the Shen family to get medicine.

If it weren't for the fact that the twenty catties of meat had already been bought, it is estimated that the Shen family would not have wanted it.

"Then leave a little non-spicy for Ning Nanxing, the others are fried and spicy, don't say anything else, it's just that Grandpa Ning's taste is strikingly similar to mine." Shen Tuantuan asked Aunt Wang to fry it first, and then add chili powder to the rest.

Aunt Wang saw that Shen Tuantuan was rarely thinking about Ning Nanxing, and sighed silently in her heart, "Tuan Tuan has grown up, and she will be thirteen years old after the New Year, and she looks like a big girl!" ”

Shen Tuantuan was confused, and he didn't know where Aunt Wang's emotion came from. But good words are always like to hear, Shen Tuantuan didn't chase after him, and quickly helped Aunt Wang stir the meat filling together.

The closer the Chinese New Year gets, the more dried tofu He Chunlou ordered, and the Shen family is in a hurry to make dried tofu almost day and night, and they have to buy a donkey, otherwise, they will not be able to supply He Chunlou's orders.

Early in the morning, Shen Xiao got up.

Liu was washing the radish, "I came back late last night, and I haven't asked you yet, have you purchased all the New Year's goods I asked you to buy?" ”

Shen Tuantuan had already paid this month's salary in advance, in order to allow the two families to buy New Year's goods earlier. also said that when the Chinese New Year comes, there will be a big red envelope. Although Shen Xiao disagreed, he knew that Shen Tuantuan, his niece, had done what she wanted and did what she said. This point is that Shen Xiao doesn't want to admit it, and he must admit that Shen Tuantuan is more decisive than ordinary men.

Therefore, even if he and Shen Shishi said that they didn't have to give it, Shen Tuantuan would definitely give it.

Although Shen Xiao didn't know how big this big red envelope was, he had been doing it for nearly half a year, and he had saved 6 taels of silver. Originally, Shen Tuantuan said that it was a meal, but later it didn't work out, so he simply gave Shen Xiao a salary of one tael a month. That's worth the wages of the outside bookkeeper!

Shen Xiao is naturally very satisfied, and of course he is very serious about his work.

Because life is better, Shen Xiao also thinks about this year, when he invites Shen Zhong and Shen Chunyun's family to dinner, he will get a little real feast.

No, early in the morning, the yards of other people's houses were already bubbling with aroma, and Shen Xiao couldn't help but ask out loud when he saw that the Liu family was just washing the radish.

"I bought it, I bought five catties of meat!" Liu stretched out five fingers and shook them!

Liu's thought very well, her mother's family came over to use two catties, the Shen family used two catties, and her family ate one catty during the New Year, and five catties of meat were enough. ”

"What about the others?"

Liu said, "What else do you want to buy?" Go back and ask for a plate of tofu at your eldest brother's house, get a little balls, and keep them for the New Year. Make a little more dumplings and that's enough. Isn't that how we lived in previous years? ”

"I just gave you a tael of silver yesterday to buy a little more meat, and you will buy me five catties of meat? Go buy another five pounds! When the eldest brother and the younger sister came, were you going to fool people with a little bit of meat foam? Shen Xiao knew very well that he had been taken care of by Shen Zhong and Shen Chunyun a lot over the years. If this was before, the two sons were still young, and life was tight, and Shen Xiao also turned a blind eye to Liu's style of picking and picking at Suosuo.

As soon as the Liu family heard that he had to buy another five catties of meat, he was reluctant to do so. "This Chinese New Year, your eldest brother and your little sister will lack such a mouthful of meat in the house? Don't think I don't know, but I heard that a few days ago, Shen Tuantuan, a little girl, ordered twenty catties of pork from Niu's house! If you want to eat pork, just go to your big brother's house and eat your fill! What do you have to do with a swollen face and a fat man at home! ”

Shen Xiao was blushed by Liu's anger, and just wanted to scold, but was stopped by Shen Wan. "It's the New Year, Daddy, don't quarrel. My mother is also to save money for the family, and she doesn't have any bad intentions. ”

For Shen Wan, Shen Xiao was still counting on this girl who married into the city to take care of her son more in the future, so for Shen Wan's sake, Shen Xiao endured it. just put on a face and yelled at Liu: "Lao Tzu has worked hard all year long, if you want to eat something good, you still have to go to someone else's house to eat?" You loser, don't think about sticking it to your mother's house! ”

The Liu family had already thought about it today, and they wanted to send five catties of meat to her mother.

"Mother, you just listen to your father! Dad has lost a lot of weight these days, so hard! ”

With the steps given by Shen Wan, the Liu family still reluctantly agreed, "Wan'er, you will go to your uncle's house in a while and ask for a plate of tofu." I don't know what's going on this year, this tofu has been delivered a long time ago in previous years. We're waiting for tofu to make meatballs. ”

Shen Xiao was eating the thin porridge that Shen Wan had served, and when he heard Liu's words, he couldn't hold back another meal. "In the past few days, the dried tofu in the restaurant has not been supplied, even Tuan Tuan is also helping, how can there be free tofu! If you want tofu, go to Liuye Village to buy a board, don't come to make a mess. Otherwise, if you are squeezed by Shen Tuantuan, don't call me, I can't afford to lose this person. ”

Since beating Shen Zhong's family to sell tofu, when has the Liu family been buying tofu! When I hear this, I don't like it!

"You are not satisfied with the salary of one tael a month, are you, you are going to make trouble until this dried tofu business can no longer continue, so you will stop?"

As soon as the Liu family heard that Shen Xiao's salary was going to be gone, they were a little afraid to do it, you know, this salary of one or two silver a month is not tiring, but it can't be found with a lantern. "It's as serious as you say, it's just scrighting."

"If you don't believe it, just do it, if you can't hand over the amount ordered by the restaurant, the eldest brother's family has a good one, you see if I can keep this job!" Shen Xiao finished biting the last bite of steamed buns and walked out.

As soon as Shen Xiao left, the Liu family began to scold Shen Xiao, "Look at your father's dead appearance, the old lady is tired and tired of serving him for food and clothing, and she is not pleased!" ”

"Mother, just say a few words. If the uncle's family is free, you will be missing a piece of tofu. ”

Liu Shi was right when he thought about it, "Then I'll go buy meat, and by the way, I'll go to your rented mother's place." ”

Shen Wan didn't like Liu's maiden family a hundred times. "Mother, don't you keep saying that the rent and uncle are not good to you, why do you still have to send things! Daddy doesn't want to! ”

Because the Liu family is famous for plucking the feathers of geese, they come to her house every year to pay New Year's greetings, and even if they don't carry things, the whole family comes to eat, and they don't eat one by one and don't get off the table, and before leaving, they have to take a lot of things. Otherwise, you won't be able to go!

So, needless to say, Shen Xiao doesn't like it, even Shen Wan doesn't like it.

It's one thing for the Liu family to dislike their mother's family, but when they heard that Shen Wan also disliked the Liu family, the Liu family was not happy.

Dislike the Liu family, isn't it disgusting to dislike her? She also came out of the Liu family, and she is the Liu family!

"You have no conscience, if it weren't for the Liu family, how could there be your mother! Your grandfather's family is no more, and it's not something that one of your juniors can say no. You can learn from that Shen Tuantuan, and you have no respect for the elders! ”

Shen Wan couldn't hold back in the end, and rolled her eyes, "Mother wants to stick to someone's cold ass with a hot face, you can go, when I didn't say it." Anyway, I don't want to recognize any of the relatives of the Liu family. "It's a shame.

Liu was so angry that he went to Niu's house angrily, and chopped ten catties of meat and sent it to his mother's house with a ruthless heart.

When they arrived at their parents' house, the sisters-in-law saw the meat she sent, and the words were not good. "Didn't you say that Shen Xiao is now making a lot of money by relying on his eldest brother's family? Why are you still stingy, just take a little bit of meat to fool your father and mother! ”

"yes, it's called Hanako! I'll just ask my father and mother not to worry about getting married, how can people still remember my father and mother! Maybe I eat and wipe my mouth every day at home, and I won't think of my father and mother. ”

Liu Shi trembled with anger, listening to her two sisters-in-law say that she was not, but she didn't know that the meat was sent by mistake.

In the end, Liu was sent out by her mother, and she didn't even get a mouthful of water, so she was sent back the same way, but the ten catties of meat in her hand were missing.

was blown by the cool breeze, and the Liu family regretted it.

If it weren't for Shen Wan's dead girl to stimulate her, she wouldn't have taken ten catties of meat and sent it back to her parents' house. It's good now, if you don't buy meat back, it is estimated that Shen Xiao will be angry.

The Liu family couldn't, so he had to go to Niu's house and buy another five catties of meat.

I made up my mind, and when my mother's family came to the door, I didn't plan to prepare a plate of meat dishes.

As for the Shen family, they fried vegetarian meatballs, tofu meatballs, pure meatballs, and made radish buns, tofu buns, meat buns, and bean paste buns. It's quite rich.

When Shen Xiao came to work, Aunt Wang happened to be frying meatballs.

Shen Zhong had just risen, and Shen Tuantuan didn't expect that Shen Xiao, who only went back in the middle of the night yesterday, would rush back so early, and his heart was a little touched. "Second uncle, you came just in time, we are making croquettes, you can eat some too!"

Shen Xiao listened to the sound of crackling oil explosion in the stove room, and was a little shocked, "You guys are using fried croquettes?" What a waste! ”

"It was Grandpa Ning who bought it, saying that their grandparents would toss these things, so they specially bought oil and let my aunt make croquettes, saying that they hadn't eaten it for several years." Shen Tuantuan had already thought of his rhetoric, anyway, what was shocking, Shen Tuantuan couldn't be wrong if he pushed it to the Ning family next door.

Shen Xiao was also relieved when he heard that it was bought by the Ning family. The Ning family is not bad for money, and it is normal to want to eat something good during the New Year.

"Eat, I've already had breakfast."

However, Shen Tuantuan still dragged Shen Xiao to sit at the table, and after a while, he held a big bowl of meatballs and a bowl of salted porridge. "Second uncle, you eat, taste my aunt's craftsmanship!"

"I don't need so much, how can I eat so much, keep it for the New Year, eat it now, it won't be enough by then." Shen Xiao shook his head, although he was happy that Shen Tuantuan respected him, but when he thought that he was still a little girl in the end, it was rare to eat fried croquettes, so he couldn't wait to finish it.

Shen Zhong was also holding a bowl of meatballs and a bowl of porridge, "Second brother, you can eat, Tuan Tuan's thoughts, don't shirk it." When the time comes for the New Year, you may not be able to eat a few bites. ”

Shen Xiao no longer shirked, and ate the balls. I have to say, this meatball is really delicious.
