Chapter 346: Years Ago
"You're back! I also guess that you should be back in the next two days, the house has been cleaned up for you, and you can sleep when you go in. ”
Aunt Zhao was very happy to see Si Si and Lu Yan coming back, and hurriedly put down the work in her hand and walked over.
"Why did you make so many things, you have them all in the house, aren't you wasting money?"
Aunt Zhao saw the cart of things that Si Si and the others brought back, until they were brought back by Si Si and their filial piety, but they always said a few words verbally.
Si Si also understood, didn't mind at all, smiled and held Aunt Zhao's arm, and said: "What is my aunt talking about, have a good New Year, what's wrong with buying something and coming back, it's not expensive, and it's all used at home!" ”
After Lu Yan said hello to Aunt Zhao, he unloaded the things on the car and moved them one by one in the net house.
"Okay, okay, got it." Aunt Zhao glanced at Si Si dotingly, "Hurry up and help Lu Yanrong!" I'll get it done, take a break, and I'll be ready to cook. ”
"Uh-huh!"
When everything is almost sorted out, the meal is ready.
The village chief, Ji Xiang and Zhou Bowen also returned.
It's almost the New Year, and the school has been on spring vacation early, Jixiang and Zhou Bowen stay at home to read books and practice martial arts, and from time to time they go out with the village chief.
The village chief has no grandchildren, and he used to be very envious of other people's families, but now that Jixiang and Bowen are by his side, he feels as if he has two more grandchildren.
In fact, the village chief really treats the two of them as his own grandsons, and when he goes out to meet people, he must boast a lot, which makes Jixiang and Bowen embarrassed.
"Daddy, Mom, you're back!"
After Jixiang saw the people in the yard, he rushed over at once, and hugged Si Si's thigh, "Mother, you're finally back!" ”
I haven't seen my son for a while, Si Si also thought about it very much, and wanted to pick him up but found that Ji Xiang was much heavier and had grown a lot taller.
Si Si could only squat down, hugged Jixiang, touched his head, and said lovingly: "Has Jixiang obediently listened to his grandparents recently?" ”
"Uh-huh! Auspicious and obedient! ”
Ji Xiang nodded his head heavily.
This child is becoming more and more energetic, tiger-headed, because he is still young, and his face still has a little baby fat, white and tender, and he is pleasing to look at.
"It's really good, my mother's auspiciousness has grown a lot taller, and I'll soon be an adult."
After finishing talking about auspiciousness, Sisi looked at Zhou Bowen who was following Jixiang.
Zhou Bowen has also grown a lot taller, he is two years older than Jixiang, much taller and more auspicious, with a straight face, he really has the feeling of a little adult.
"Bowen too, he's grown a lot taller! Your sister and daddy must be very happy to see it. ”
When talking about Zhou Cailian and Zhou's father, Zhou Bowen's eyes lit up obviously, and he looked at Sisi without saying anything, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
Si Si saw it clearly, and said bluntly: "I sent a letter to your sister and father, let them come back for the New Year together, presumably they should come back tomorrow, you can rest assured!" "Hot Spot Library
After Si Si's explanation, Zhou Bowen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Si Si, "Thank you, sister." ”
"That's not right! You have to call me my mother-in-law! ”
Si Si hasn't said anything yet! Ji Xiang said first: "You call me my mother's sister, so I am not a generation younger than you for nothing?" You're two years older than me! ”
"Then thank you, Auntie."
Zhou Bowen didn't bother much about this kind of trivial matter, and simply changed his name.
Si Si smiled at the two children and said, "Okay, go wash your hands and get ready to eat!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
The next day, the father and daughter of the Zhou family also came back, Sisi let them live in the guest room of the village chief's house, and his family went back to live in the house in Tianshui Village, but when they ate, they would go to the village chief and eat with the village chief and his wife and the Zhou family.
It's obviously three families who are not related by blood at all, but they seem to be a family.
Before the New Year, there will be a big cleaning, this thing is done before Si Si and the others come back, Aunt Zhao has already done it all, and there are only a few days left before the New Year, Si Si plans to cook something delicious with the big guys.
The food that Si Si thinks makes is rice cakes and taro paste.
The rice cake is simple, you can sit with glutinous rice, but it takes a little effort, but fortunately, there are men at home, and there is no shortage of strength for this hand.
Si Si thought made water mill rice cakes, and I had eaten them once before, but now I think about it, I am still very greedy.
To make water-milled rice cakes, you must first wash the good glutinous rice, soak it in water for one night, soak it, then steam it for nine years, then pour the steamed glutinous rice into a large sturdy wooden barrel, pound the cooked glutinous rice with a sturdy wooden stick, and pound it repeatedly while it is hot.
This is very laborious, Si Si saw that Jixiang and Zhou Bowen seemed to be very interested in this, so he asked Lu Yan to take these two little guys to pound rice cakes.
"Remember, you have to work hard! The rice cake made in this way is more chewy and refreshing, and when the sticky rice is very sticky and can't be stirred, then pour it onto a clean board. After Si Si instructed again, he let them do it.
Jixiang and Zhou Bowen were both making rice cakes for the first time, and they were so curious that they couldn't do it, and after watching Lu Yan for a while, they clamored to get started.
Lu Yan was also done by them, and the three of them were still a little rusty at first, but after slowly becoming more proficient, they were still quite decent.
Si Si saw that they were going well, nodded with satisfaction, and went to make taro paste by himself.
The fields in Tianshui Village were bought, but fortunately, there was still a lot of taro left from the previous planting, and the village chief didn't eat much, so they kept it all the time, and they took it out when they heard what Sisi was going to do.
Seeing that these taros were not bad, Si Si planned to make a dish of lard taro puree.
She first cut the fat pork she bought into pieces of the same size, put the fat pork in the pot, and then added a little water to the pot to boil the lard, which made it easier to produce oil and more fragrant.
Waiting for the time to boil the lard, Sisi peeled and cut the taro into pieces, put it in the pot and steamed it, and waited until it was steamed until it was easy to insert it with chopsticks.
Remove the lard residue from the pot, turn off the heat, wait for the temperature of the pot to cool down, then pour in the steamed taro, mash the taro into a puree, add sugar to the taro puree, and then pound well.
Then sprinkle some chopped sesame peanuts or something, and the dessert is ready.
