Chapter 45: Chinese New Year
Xia Zhi got into the car and waved his hand at the two, watching Xia Zhi's figure getting farther and farther away, Xia Aidang raised his head and said to Xia Aiguo, "The eldest brother and sister are much better than the second sister." ”
Xia Aiguo nodded silently and said, "You have to remember that the eldest sister is good to us." ”
Xia Aidang nodded ignorantly, and then urged him, "Big brother, let's go eat, I'm starving." ”
Xia Aiguo immediately took Xia Aiguo to the wonton stall on the side and asked for two large bowls of wontons.
When she went out, Mrs. Gu gave Xia Zhi some meat stamps and sugar stamps, as well as a large stack of food stamps, and asked her to spend and buy whatever she wanted, and Xia Solstice couldn't do it.
In addition to the bills and money given by Mrs. Gu, Xia Zhi also had all kinds of money and tickets given by Gu Beicheng in his hand, and he took a lot of them when he came out.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are more people in the mall, Gu Beicheng was worried that the summer solstice would be crowded, so he asked Xia Zhi to wait outside the mall, and he squeezed in to buy things.
At noon, the two went out of the restaurant and went home in the evening, and when Mrs. Gu saw the little couple carrying a big bag into the house, she immediately smiled and squinted.
After Hu Lina, the old lady's standards for her daughter-in-law are actually quite low, as long as she is a person who can live and knows that she feels sorry for her son.
The summer solstice obviously exceeded the old lady's expectations, she looks good, she is still a college student, she respects the old and loves the young, not to mention, she is also very polite, the key is that the son likes it, looking at the happy appearance of the little couple, the old lady is not to mention how happy.
In a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was a special period, the state did not allow the Spring Festival to be pasted, and the superstition was a set, but after all, it was a tradition for many years, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Weidong's family also returned to the old house.
Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, and Gu Beicheng both have salaries, and the family bought nearly 20 catties of meat, three fish, and a bag of Fuqiang flour, and a lot of eggs, cabbage, and radishes.
In the afternoon, Xia Zhi followed Mrs. Gu to work in the kitchen, and the old lady said vigorously, "You little girl go out to play, I'll do it alone." ”
Where is the summer solstice, the old lady Gu is so old, let the old lady work alone in the kitchen, but she is waiting outside to eat, this is too unusual.
Besides, Xia Zhi has been a snack all her life, and she has eaten a lot of food when she travels around the world, in order to be able to eat often in the future, and when she encounters a special favorite food, she will go to apprenticeship and give those masters some money, as long as it is not an important recipe, those masters are also willing to teach her.
Xia Zhi first fried vegetable balls with Fuqiang powder and white radish, and the fragrance wafted out far away, attracting many children in the courtyard to linger at the door of Gu's house, watching with blank eyes.
Mrs. Gu is a soft-hearted person, and she is not stingy, so she immediately brought out a bowl of vegetable balls and gave one to those children, and those children were so happy.
They all took them in their hands, ate them one by one, their eyes were shining, and their mouths kept saying, "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”
The vegetable balls fried on the summer solstice are indeed delicious, the old man Gu and the old lady Gu are old, their teeth are not good, the vegetable balls are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is good, which is very in line with their wishes, the old man Gu ate most of the bowl alone, if it wasn't for the fear that the old man would hold on, the old lady would not let him eat more, and the old man could eat more.
Shen Mei also helped on the side, and said with a smile, "Brother and sister, don't look young, but make good dishes, unlike my sister-in-law, any good ingredients fall into my hands, and it's good to be cooked." ”
Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Sister-in-law has won the prize, if my sister-in-law likes to eat, I will make more, if you want to learn, I will teach you." ”
Shen Mei immediately smiled, "That's good." ”
fried a large pot of vegetable balls, because it was the Chinese New Year, the old lady was not stingy, and let a few children eat them with an open stomach.
Since the meatballs were fried, Xia Zhi fried the two carps in the oil pot by the way, and made them into sweet and sour carp, and poured the mixed juice on the carp, which looked particularly good-looking, revealing a sweet and sour taste.
Xia Zhi also made several major dishes such as braised pork, back pot meat, boiled pork slices, etc., which dazzled everyone, and the smile on Mrs. Gu's face was almost a flower, and she was indescribably satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Gu Xiangyang and Gu Hongxing ate with their mouths full of oil, and kept praising in their mouths, "The dishes made by the little aunt are so delicious." ”
"yes, I've never eaten such a delicious dish!"
Everyone was eating happily, but at this time the door was knocked, and everyone looked at each other, this Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know who it is?
Gu Xiangyang went to open the door, and when he saw someone outside the door, he was surprised, "Aihong, why are you here?" ”
Xu Aihong saw that it was Gu Xiangyang who opened the door, and smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Xiangyang." ”
Looking at Xu Aihong's cramped appearance, Gu Xiangyang frowned, but still let go of his body and said to Xu Aihong, "You can come in first." ”
Everyone saw that it was Xu Aihong, although the old man Gu had some resentment about his eldest daughter in his heart, but he was still more distressed about Xu Aihong's granddaughter, and when he saw Xu Aihong coming, although he didn't speak, he didn't open his mouth to pick up people.
The old lady said, "Aihong, why are you here?" ”
Xu Ai's eyes turned red and shouted, "Grandma, grandpa, I'm hungry." ”
Xu Aihong, a 15-year-old girl, shouted that she was hungry in front of everyone, and the old lady's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said, "Why, they don't give you food?" ”
Xu Aihong shook her head and said, "It's not, it's just... Just say I miss you..."
Everyone knew at a glance that there was a cat in it, Xu Aihong didn't tell the truth, something must have happened in the middle.
The old man's face was gloomy as water, the old lady sighed, beckoned to Xu Aihong, "Don't stand, sit down and eat together!" ”
Xu Aihong sighed, and was not polite, and sat down immediately.
Gu Hongxing is a sensible person, and took a pair of chopsticks to Xu Hong from the kitchen, Shen Mei also sighed deeply when she saw it, and said, "Eat quickly, it's all made by your little aunt." ”
Xu Aihong hurriedly set her eyes on Xia Zhi and smiled at Xia Zhi, but she didn't open her mouth to call people, and the old lady was silent and didn't notice this.
Xu Aihong took the chopsticks, immediately went to a large piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth, and by the way, took a white-flour steamed bun from the table and took a bite hard.
The sweet and glutinous soft braised pork melted in his mouth, and a thick fragrance filled his mouth, Xu Aihong only felt that he had never eaten such delicious braised pork, and when he clamped his chopsticks tightly, his mouth was full.
After eating a white-flour steamed bun, Xu Aihong's eating speed slowed down, and she began to chew slowly, and quickly added another vegetable ball, and when she ate it in her mouth, her eyes narrowed, and she enjoyed it, and said to Mrs. Gu, "Grandma, your family eats so well!" ”
Mrs. Gu regarded Xu Aihong as a child who didn't understand anything, and she was even more distressed when she saw this, and said to Xu Aihong, "If it's delicious, you can eat more." ”
By the time Xu Aihong finished eating, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and seeing that the time was not early, Xu Aihong put down her chopsticks and said to the old man and the old lady, "Grandma, grandpa is not early, I will leave first." ”
When he was full, he left, Gu Xiangyang pursed his lips and did not speak.
The old lady quite understood Xu Aihong's situation, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then you slow down on the road." ”
It's quite safe in this era, and Mrs. Gu is not worried, and besides, Xu Aihong's residence is not far from them, so she let Xu Aihong go back.
