Seeing Qian Yao crying, Qian's mother was so distressed that her eyebrows and eyes frowned together, holding Qian Yao with one hand and gently stroking him on the back with the other.

Someone comforted her, Qian Yao cried even more unscrupulously, Qian Qianqian had a headache, and her voice couldn't help but raise: "Brother Yao, don't cry anymore!" ”

Qian Yao really stopped his mouth, a pair of big moist eyes looked at Qian Mu aggrievedly, and his fleshy little mouth was pursed into a line.

Mother Qian only felt a pain in her heart, and glanced at Qian Qianqian: "You girl, what are you yelling at him for?" ”

Qian Mu's voice was even higher than her, Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then explained in a good voice: "The jade pendant is not clean when he takes it in his mouth, and besides, this jade pendant is small, so I have to swallow it accidentally......"

Before the words were finished, Qian Mu's expression sank, and she took a few steps back to protect Qian Yao, her eyes full of disappointment and defense that made Qian Qianqian's heart frightened: "What are you talking about?" You're so desperate for your brother, isn't it? ”

Qian Qianqian's heart was cold, and Qian's mother's words were more stinging than the flying snow and frost outside, piercing her heart. She tugged at the corners of her mouth and laughed at herself: "Brother Yao is also my own brother, how could I not want him to be good?" ”

Qian Mu realized that she had spoken a little heavily, but she couldn't do it if she lowered her face now and apologized to Qian Qianqian.

simply wrapped Qian Yao in a cloak, and without saying a word, he pushed the door and left.

Compared with Qian Qianqian's astonishment and speechlessness, Qian Fen and Qian Xuan were obviously not surprised.

"Mother feels sorry for Brother Yao, let's just bear with it."

"That's right, eldest sister, every family is like this, you don't have to think about it."

Every family is patriarchal, especially if they have no father, it is reasonable for the mother to take more care of the two younger brothers in the family.

Qian Fen and Qian Xuan disagreed, and Qian Qianqian said that she was not disappointed, which was false.

She pushed open the window, saw that there was snow outside, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road, looking at the empty and lonely street, Qian Qianqian's thoughts had quietly changed.

Qian Fen poked her head, in this family, her favorite is still the eldest sister and the third sister.

She stretched out her index finger and gently poked Qian Qianqian's waist, Qian Qianqian turned her head and squinted and smiled at her.

"In two days, the shops in the town will have to close, so it's better for us to buy some New Year's goods and store them today, otherwise we won't have anything to eat for the New Year."

Mother Qian was so focused on her two sons that she had no time to take care of anything else, so the trivial matters in such a major event as the New Year had to be handled by the three sisters themselves.

"Our family is too lonely, why don't we invite Aunt Liu and them to celebrate the New Year together?" Qian Fen proposed.

"Aunt Liu naturally wants to be invited." Qian Qianqian said and pushed open the door and said to Tongbo in the lobby: "Tongbo, if you are not busy during the New Year, why don't you come to me to spend it together?" ”

A widower who had lost his wife for many years and had married his children, he did not want to live with them, so he often kept a room alone.

Hearing this, Tong Bo held the pen for a moment, and said a little embarrassed: "Then how can it be done, your family is lively." ”

"Hey, Tongbo just said it, when today is over, our hot pot restaurant will also start to close for the New Year, you can rest at home for two days, and I will pick you up when the New Year comes."

Qian Qianqian has long regarded Tongbo as her own family, and knows that Tongbo has a bad relationship with her children, and she has not removed it during the Chinese New Year, so she naturally wants to take him over.

After arranging Tongbo, the three sisters discussed the New Year's recipe in the house, and after the discussion, one of them walked outside with a vegetable basket.

"Tongbo and other people are gone, you can close the hot pot restaurant, and this is a red envelope for the New Year, everyone has a share."

Qian Qianqian took out a few red paper bags, except for Tongbo's one which was ten taels of silver, and the rest of the people were five taels of silver.

Several people got the silver and said auspicious words happily, each with a smile on their faces.

Out of the hot pot restaurant, the three sisters went straight to one of the biggest fishmongers in town.

The fish are all fresh, jumping around in the water, Qian Qianqian chose three big ones, in addition to the fish, and bought some potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, etc., which are easy to store, and then went to other places to buy some mutton, beef and pork, pig bones, etc.

When buying pork, Qian Qianqian also bought some pigs at a very cheap price.

To put aside the past, Qian Fen and Qian Xuan would rather not eat pork than eat dirty and smelly pigs, but since the eldest sister did it once, the two have said what is pork? The taste of pig water is a must!

The three baskets were finally full, and the three of them were already tired and tired when they went back in the soft and thick snow.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qian Qianqian got up early in the morning and threw herself into the kitchen.

First, the beef brisket is stewed with potatoes, and after it is prepared, the crockpot with potatoes and beef is put on a small stove and simmered, and after a few hours, it is a rich and juicy taste in the world.

There are many people, some people eat spicy, some people don't eat it, Qian Qianqian made a heavy taste of braised fish, and made a light taste of steamed fish.

Chicken stewed mushrooms are also a major dish, chickens are milled by Qian Qianqian from the dead skin in the space, and mushrooms are also a good variety. The chicken is tender and juicy, blending with the unique aroma of mushrooms to create a unique, fragrant but not greasy delicacy, and even the chicken broth is rich in white.

As for mutton, mutton has a strong smell, and it will make people sick if it is not good to eat, and that smell drives away many people.

Therefore, mutton has always been seasoned with heavy ingredients, and Qian Qianqian simply made a mutton hot pot with this hot pot base.

Pig water Qian Qianqian only made a stir-fried fat sausage this time, the fat sausage was washed with flour, and the excess fat meat was scraped off, and the green onion and dried chili pepper were stir-fried, which attracted a lot of saliva as soon as it came out of the pot.

The main dishes are done, Qian Qianqian does not forget to make a few light small vegetarian stir-fries, and the meat and vegetables are not greasy.

After all the dishes were ready and out of the pot, Qian Qianqian took advantage of the time when no one was there to send Xiaobai a sumptuous meal.

Xiaobai was moved for the first time, and his round eyes faintly flashed with tears: "Even if you have a conscience, remember to bring me delicious food." ”

"Of course." Qian Qianqian touched Xiaobai's head with a smile, Xiaobai helped her a lot.

After saying a few more words to Xiaobai, Qian Qianqian promised to send good food in the next few days, so Xiaobai waved her paws and let her go.

Because of the large number of people who came, the two tables were put together and a dozen dishes were filled.

Aunt Liu brought Liu Han with her, and Tong Bo also brought her little granddaughter with her.

As soon as Aunt Liu came in, she still smiled enthusiastically, and took out the home-brewed plum wine: "You don't lack anything, I will bring two jars of wine brewed at home, don't look at this thing is home-brewed, the taste is no worse than the wine sold in the wine shop outside." ”

After taking Aunt Liu's plum wine, Qian Qianqian smelled it on the spot with a lot of face, and said in surprise: "Fragrant but not spicy, clear and mellow, Aunt Liu has good craftsmanship." ”

Aunt Liu smiled happily like a flower, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were squeezed together, she became more and more kind, and stroked Qian Qianqian's hand and said, "Whoever wants to marry you is a girl, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Mother Qian passed by with Qian Yao in her arms, and sighed: "Sister Liu, don't talk and lift her up, this girl is becoming more and more unpleasant now." ”

After retelling the events of that day in the hot pot restaurant, the corners of Qian's mother's eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be sure that Aunt Liu could understand her, so she said: "You said this girl, how can you be more serious with your own brother, Sister Liu, if she can listen to what you say, you can help me persuade me." ”

Aunt Liu's face was embarrassed, and she said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, no matter whether it is the official or the people of Limin, they can't escape.

Speaking of which, no one can tell whether it is right or wrong.

Aunt Liu saw that Qian Qianqian was smiling reluctantly, so she patted her on the back and said, "This is the New Year, what are you talking about." ”

She changed her words and said: "By the way, the Qian family, what new patterns have you embroidered recently, you have to show me after eating." ”

In addition to taking care of Qian Yao on weekdays, the only thing left for Qian's mother to do is embroidery, and when Aunt Liu mentioned it, she really took her attention away from Qian Qianqian and fell on the embroidery.

Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house with Tongbo.

The little granddaughter of the Tongbo family is only three or four years old, and it is the most lovely time, especially when this little girl follows her grandfather without crying or making trouble, with a pair of big eyes looking around curiously, full of interest everywhere.

Qian Qianqian knew that Tongbo would bring the little girl here, so she specially prepared a pink dress for the little girl, embroidered the cuffs and trouser legs with a small flower pattern that the little girl liked.

The little girl really liked it very much, and she was reluctant to let go of it in her hand, until it was time to eat, and she reluctantly put down her clothes in the reprimand of her grandfather.

Aunt Liu smiled when she saw this: "The little girl is young and has a love for beauty, which is exactly the same as Qianqian." ”

Qian Qianqian is a beauty-loving person, while making money, she has not forgotten to take good care of herself, and her daily clothes are carefully matched, although it is not exquisite, but it is also clean and regular.

Qian Qianqian smiled embarrassedly, and glanced at Mother Qian, who showed a look of disapproval.

"The girl's family still has to learn from the girl, and learning to take care of housework is the most important thing, and the goblins and monsters are not good."

"Mother." Qian Qianqian's voice intensified, stopped Qian's mother, turned her head and said softly to the little girl: "In the future, follow grandpa to the hot pot restaurant more, and my sister will teach you how to write, okay?" ”

The little girl didn't understand what writing was, she just thought it was funny, and nodded obediently.

Mother Qian's face immediately sank.

Qian Qianqian is making it clear that she is against her, she just said before that the girl should learn more from female celebrities, and Qian Qianqian will teach others to learn when she answers her mouth, isn't it just a slap in the face?

Aunt Liu was afraid that the two mothers and daughters would quarrel, so she hurriedly said: "I am not in a hurry to eat the good dishes on this big table, Qianqian's craftsmanship is amazing, how can I bear it so much today." ”

Aunt Liu interrupted like this, and Qian Qianqian also said: "Thank you Aunt Liu, Brother Liu, Tongbo for your help these days, if it weren't for you, our family might have suffered a lot of crimes." ”

Mother Qian also remembered Aunt Liu'er's good coming, and by the way, she remembered the days in Qianjia Village, and couldn't help crying: "Yes, she Aunt Liu, I really have to thank you, I owe it to you those days." ”

Aunt Liu waved her hand: "Wherever you are, the neighbors are all helping each other." ”
