Chapter 183: Happy Year
Twenty-eight has passed, and twenty-nine has arrived.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve falls on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.
During the Chinese New Year, everything you do is fresh.
Yesterday, I invited Song Weiguo's family to join the New Year in advance, although they also killed chickens and ducks, but at this time, after all, it is not like the later generations, and they are very positive about eating meat, and Jiang Ruonan's good cooking skills have completely realized the disc.
Therefore, on the day of the 29th New Year, everyone got up early in the morning, and everyone was busy.
Needless to say, killing chickens, ducks, and cutting fish, the kitchen is also in full swing.
The oil pot is burning in the cauldron, hot, first fry the crispy meat, wait for the fish to be cleaned, and then fry the fish, which means that there is more than enough every year, absolutely not saved, and live fish must be killed. Then the rice balls are also fried...... Golden and crispy, one basket and one basket are all full. In the small iron pot, the soup is stewed, gurgling and steaming...... Such a grand occasion can only be seen during the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Ruonan was in charge, and Liu Chunhua was in charge. Even Lu Chengan and Lu Zhenjun, father and son, are not idle, peeling garlic and washing vegetables, this is destined to be a busy morning for the whole family to eat.
Several children woke up early in the morning, and first received a red envelope placed on the pillow, a dollar, which is simply a huge fortune. A few babies were overjoyed, and they jumped downstairs.
Because there are a lot of big dishes to be made, and the kitchen is full of adults, this day is a completely liberating day for children, they just have to go out and play, just come back before eating. Relatives are here, there are delicious candies and snacks, and there are all kinds of dazzling delicious, big fish and meat are piled up and eaten with an open belly, so that people don't know what to eat.
Lu Zhenjun grabbed a few babies and took the boiled knife head 1, and was about to go to worship the ancestors. During the New Year's holidays, good things must be invited to the ancestors to taste first, and there is no need for any tablet, the custom here, as long as the incense is burned in the middle of the hall to worship.
The fragrant wax yellow paper has been prepared for a long time, Lu Zhenjun took a few babies, offered candy snacks, knife head liquor, and a chicken leg that was just fished out, knelt down to burn the paper, and prayed to the ancestors to bless the prosperity of the family in the coming year.
Although Liu Chunhua is now a worker in the city, she is actually an authentic small-peasant feudal ideology in her bones, which is deeply rooted. In the past, in the city, living in that building, it is not good to engage in these worship activities, but when I arrived at Lu Zhenjun, there was no difference between the family and the countryside, and I saw that Lu Zhenjun paid tribute to his ancestors, and let him come out to worship the Bodhisattva of heaven and earth in the courtyard, it was not enough, and burned the yellow paper to the kitchen, and paid tribute to the Bodhisattva of the Stove King with incense and wax, and also chanted a word, saying that there is no pig at home now, if there is a pig at home, then it is necessary to worship the Pig King Bodhisattva......
Anyway, after such a pass, the yard was full of smoke, and the few children who didn't plan to go out to play couldn't stay.
"Mom, let's go out and buy explosives 2 to play!" Dabao took Sanbao and ran to the kitchen door to report to Jiang Ruonan.
Jiang Ruonan looked at the pot, and only then did he fry the crispy meat and fried fish or something, and he would have to cook the fish and stir-fry the vegetables later, there are still many things, and it is still early at this time, and it is strange to have a few dolls to get the New Year's money, and it is strange to be able to settle down with a huge amount of money.
There's nothing to play all year round, and the sound of explosives exploding can be heard outside from time to time.
Jiang Ruonan didn't want to detain a few babies, so he said to Dabao: "Go, pay attention to safety, if you want to play with explosives, you can't scare people, take care of your younger brothers and sisters!" ”
"Yes!" Dabao cheered, "Little uncle, let's go!" ”
The second sister and the third treasure also cheered again and again: "Let's go!" ”
Liu Chunhua was not particularly willing to play with explosives when she heard it, after all, although it is a child's thing, there is also a bit of gunpowder in it, and it is very dangerous to blow it up on your body if you don't pay attention. But Jiang Ruonan had already opened her mouth to agree, and Lu Chengan and Lu Zhenjun didn't say anything, so it was difficult for her to say anything against it.
At this time, when I heard that Lu Zhenxing was going to go with me, I hurriedly leaned out in front of the stove and shouted: "Zhenxing, take a good look at Dabao and them, play carefully, and pay attention to safety!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Lu Zhenxing was very happy when he heard that there were bombers playing, he had only been in the camp for a few days, and he had already mingled with his nephews and nieces, and even the second sister, a little girl who had always been quiet at home, followed him everywhere.
A few children ran out of the door, and Liu Chunhua was still shouting in the back: "Come back early for lunch, don't worry about staying when other people's families cook!" ”
It is generally believed that it is very unlucky for a family's New Year's dinner to be disturbed by outsiders. But you can't close the door when you eat the New Year's dinner, so it is all up to each family to restrain their children, and when the meal is over, hurry home and don't run to other people's homes.
A few children ran away, Liu Chunhua shook his head: "This revitalization, be honest at home, as soon as you get here, you will be wild." ”
"Zhenxing is still young, it's a child!" Jiang Ruonan answered with a smile, "Let him take his nephews and nieces to play, he should play." ”
Talking and laughing, Lu Chengan peeled a small bowl of garlic, washed his hands and looked at Xiaobao.
The family helped out, and the morning passed in the aroma of various meals.
As plates of dishes were served, firecrackers had already been set off at the Lin family next door, and several children finally ran back in Liu Chunhua's hope.
"Daddy! Mom! My aunt has a letter! ”
Dabao's voice mingled with the sound of firecrackers outside and entered the courtyard.
"I'm finally back, hurry up and wash your hands and serve the table!" Liu Chunhua didn't hear clearly, and hurriedly greeted people when they saw them coming back.
Or Lu Zhenjun's ears were pointed: "You said that the little aunt sent a letter?" Show me. He stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and took the letter in Dabao's hand, which turned out to be a fax.
"When we go to the service agency and meet them to bring it, I'll get it back myself!" Dabao hurriedly said, and then asked, "Dad, what did my little aunt say?" Wouldn't she be scared when she was home alone? ”
"That's right, we all eat so much delicious food, my little aunt can't eat it at home alone! It's so pathetic! Sambo said with a pout.
As soon as Liu Chunhua heard this ambiguity, she couldn't help but slap Sanbao's hand when she looked down: "You monkey, wash your hands and eat again!" He called Lu Zhenjun again, "You can read it later, I'll take these monkeys to wash their hands!" ”
Lu Zhenxing had already washed his hands and came back: "I have seen it, the third sister is reporting safety, she said that she is fine at home, today they are all having a reunion dinner in the hospital, let's not remember her......"
"How many words do you recognize, have you finished reading them?" Liu Chunhua was not happy that he was showing off.
Lu Zhenxing smiled proudly: "Even if you haven't finished reading it, you can guess it!" What else can the third sister say besides those? He sat down in his seat, helped set the dishes and chopsticks again, and looked, "Sister-in-law, it's time to eat!" ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" Jiang Ruonan held the small iron pot, "You guys sit, I'll be here soon." ”
Lu Zhenjun put the dishes on the table, looked back and was shocked: "Such a big pot of soup, why don't you call me to mention it?" You're ......."
"Alright, alright, it's time to eat!" Jiang Ruonan put the iron pot away, took a big pot and put a big pot out, "Eat it!" ”
Liu Chunhua also wiped her hands for a few small ones, Jiang Ruonan went to bring Xiaobao over, and brought out the steamed egg custard for him, and the family sat down.
