Chapter 74: Living Together
Yuan Ning couldn't suppress the groove in his heart, "It's the same with you rich people eating...... Clean? ”
Su Heting put down the dishes and chopsticks, slowly wiped the corners of his lips that did not have any oil stains at all, and then said lightly: "I'm different from them." I can eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and I can also eat the bran vegetables. ”
Yuan Ning nodded, "Thank you for sending me something this time." ”
Su Heting got up and stretched, "It's so late, you won't drive me away, right?" ”
Yuan Ning stood up outside the window, the north wind was cold, and there was the sound of snow particles on the window paper......
At this time, it seems that it is not appropriate to let him go.
"But," she pursed her lips, "our house is really cramped, and you can see it. ”
Su Heting sat down again and arranged a few straw mats together, "If you want to sleep, don't worry about me, just go to sleep, I'll make do with it, just don't blow the cold wind, don't worry, I will definitely leave at dawn, I won't cause trouble for you." ”
Yuan Ning saw him like this, but he didn't know how to refuse.
Zhong Ling silently went to take the dishes and chopsticks to wash.
Ji Xiu and Shu Yu have already begun to get sleepy.
Bo Zhong went up to spread the kang, washed their faces and feet first, and then arranged for them to sleep.
After that, Yuan Ning took Bo Zhong and Zhong Ling to the hall to wash. Because there are outsiders, the younger brothers and sisters are relatively silent, Yuan Ning comforted: "It's okay, this person is not a bad person, don't be afraid, sleep how you want." ”
When they finished washing up and went back, they saw that Su Heting had fallen asleep against the wall, with a pair of long legs half on the straw mat and half on the ground.
The fire in the crockpot had not yet been extinguished, and by the light of the fire, he could see that his face was full of exhaustion, the bruises under his eyes were very obvious, and the stubble on his chin was coming out.
Yuan Ning's heart softened, and he silently told his younger brothers and sisters to go to sleep, and he took the crane of Su Heting that he had washed before, shook it open and covered him, and then extinguished the fire in the crockpot, but moved the crockpot to his side.
The temperature of the embers can also last for a while.
After thinking about it, I went to burn a wall of fire.
Su Heting happened to be leaning against the wall of fire to sleep, so even if it was dawn, he wouldn't feel a chill in his back.
After doing all this, he touched the dark and slept on the kang, because there were outsiders, he took off his coat and slept next to Ji Xiu in a close-fitting jacket.
She didn't know that as soon as she fell asleep, Su Heting opened her eyes, looked at the crane covered on her body, felt the temperature from her back, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Because he slept in cotton clothes, Yuan Ning didn't sleep well all night, and only felt uncomfortable.
When I woke up at dawn, I went to see Su Heting on the ground for the first time, but I saw that the straw mats on the ground were neatly placed, and Su Heting had really disappeared.
She got up and got dressed and went down to the ground, looked at the hall, there was still a basket sent by Su Heting in the corner, if it weren't for that, she would have suspected that she was hallucinating at night.
The younger siblings got up one after another, and they didn't have any big doubts about Su Heting's arrival, after all, they didn't say anything else after they came......
But Yuan Ning still repeatedly told them not to tell Su Heting about what he had been here. Otherwise, it's really indisputable.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Yuan Ning went to the street, bought a few sticky tooth candies with the merchant, and came back to make dumplings with Zhong Ling and offered them to the king of the stove.
The twenty-three stove prince went to heaven, and the sugar melon stuck to his mouth, and he could only keep safe.
On the twenty-fourth, Yuan Ning sent Zhong Ling to watch the children at home, and he and Bo Zhong went to the old patriarch and Aunt Zhao's house respectively to help clean the house, even if they couldn't help anything, it was enough to comfort people with this heart.
The old patriarch also wanted to give Yuan Ning some cured meat, but Yuan Ning didn't ask for anything, but just had a meal at their house at noon.
When he got home at night, Zhong Ling had already cooked the meal, because Yuan Ning required that there must be a meat dish every day, and they were not there during the day, so the meat dish was left to be made at night, and it was cabbage slices. I put a big spoonful of meat oil, and the taste is still okay.
Bo Zhong brought back some dried beans and dried eggplants from Aunt Zhao Liu's house, but he didn't want them originally, but Aunt Zhao sent them over directly, and they had to accept them.
In the next few days, Yuan Ning and Zhong Ling were busy making New Year's food together. Their family is filial piety, so they don't have to go out to pay New Year's greetings, but this does not prevent them from eating something good.
I made a lot of radish balls and meatballs. The steamed buns and rice cakes are also steamed.
Dumplings are wrapped in advance and frozen outside, and can be eaten and cooked at any time.
In this way, before I knew it, I had reached the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.
There is no thirty this year, so the twenty-ninth of the lunar month is Chinese New Year's Eve. After tonight, it will be the fifteenth year of Xuande.
At dusk on Chinese New Year's Eve, people from the clan took Bo Zhong and Shu Yu to add soil and paper to their ancestral graves.
Seeing that the little brothers were wearing clothes spliced with cloth heads, clean and neat, they also sighed: "At the beginning, I said that these five children had to be together and had to starve to death, but who knew that people really lived their lives." ”
Some people also said: "If the third sister-in-law separates from the third brother so neatly, the children will be able to live their lives, let alone the adults?" ”
As the two brothers listened, they held their chests high, and their hearts were filled with pride.
As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to learn it to Yuan Ning.
Yuan Ning couldn't help but smile, "Say what others like to say!" ”
In the evening, they wiped the legs of the table clean, lifted the table to the kang, set a table full of food, and lit oil lamps to stay up all night.
The two paper lanterns that Yuan Ning bought back also lit small red candles and hung them in the hall, and there was wind outside, if the wind blew and burned the paper lanterns, what a pity.
Of course, they had dumplings for dinner today, and there were three meat dishes.
Now there are all kinds of snacks on the table, and they are eating with and without a match, guessing riddles and telling jokes.
Ji Xiu, who has begun to learn to climb, crawls around on the kang, and she can give anything that is not dangerous for half a day at night, very well-behaved.
The dried fruits on the table were not allowed to be eaten by her, so Yuan Ning took a cleaned carrot for her to play with, and Ji Xiu, who had only grown two teeth, took this molar.
At first, the children could survive, but when it was about to be right, Ji Xiuxian fell asleep on the kang first.
Yuan Ning undressed her and put her in the bed.
Although Shu Yu was sleepy, he still forcibly stayed up and refused to sleep.
The New Year is to survive the New Year, you must survive the child, listen to the cannon outside to be considered to be over, the New Year is to have a happy year, he is also the same as his brothers and sisters, looking forward to the family getting better and better, in a small heart, I feel that the New Year, even if I have survived the suffering, everything in the past has become the past.
