Early in the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Zhou Lanxiang had just woken up in a daze, when she heard the sound of Han Jin brushing and sweeping the yard.

The foal in the yard was jubilantly hoofing, calling twice from time to time, and Han Jin lowered his voice while sweeping the yard and scolded it: "You give me a stop!" Call the New Year again to let you gnaw on the grassroots! ”

Zhou Lanxiang buried her face in the quilt and snickered, the whole production team was afraid of Han Jin's cold face, the animals in the livestock shed didn't dare to stumble when they saw him, just this little foal who had just been born for a few months was not afraid of him, and loved to tease him, as soon as he came over, the little guy followed him, and he worked in the yard, and the little guy always liked to make trouble.

Han Jin looked very annoyed by this little thing, in fact, Zhou Lanxiang knew that he often secretly fed the little pony candy to eat, and that little thing was closer to him than to his grandfather!

Xiaoshan saw that his sister was awake, so he hurried to boil hot water, as he did every day, he had already got up and lit the stove to heat up the house, and the washing water was also warm in the pot, just waiting for his sister to get up.

Zhou Lanxiang put on her clothes and folded the quilt, Xiaoshan hurriedly brought her the hot cotton shoes that were baked by the stove, Sister Fang Ya said, my sister is often sick and cold, so he always pays attention to it and never lets her sister get a little cold.

After Zhou Lanxiang finished washing, Xiaoshan immediately came over with a bowl of egg water washed with boiling water, which was instructed by Brother Jin, to give his sister a bowl to drink every morning, saying that it is good for the body, and many people in the city drink it like this.

Beat an egg, put white sugar, and wash it down with boiling hot water, it is a bowl of egg water, I heard that it is nutritious!

Zhou Lanxiang took it and drank it, but fortunately, the water in their house was changed to space water, otherwise with ordinary water, I don't know how fishy it would be!

But this is a piece of the hearts of the two younger brothers, she can feel the worry in the hearts of the two children, what they are most afraid of is that she is sick, and she will try to cooperate if she can.

Xiaoshan saw that his sister drank it, and the smile on his face was much brighter, and he took out a piece of pork jerky from his pocket and put it in his mouth and chewed it. The little boy has no bottom in his stomach, and he doesn't feel tired of eating jerky when he gets up early in the morning.

This jerky is made of half a wild boar meat brought back from the mountains by Han Jin, he wants to exchange it with Uncle Liu, Zhou Lanxiang didn't let it, leaving a hind leg, and marinating the sturdy tendon meat with various seasonings and space water, and fried it in the oil pan on the day of boiling lard until it is half dry, and the jerky is salty and fragrant one by one, the only problem is that the wild boar meat is thick in fiber and very difficult to chew.

But this is not a problem for Xiaoshan and Xiaojin at all, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and it's good to have a chewy head!

Now they have nothing to do with two jerky, one can be chewed for a while, and when Xiaoshan chews, it is delicious, not to mention how happy it is!

Han Jin came into the house after sweeping the yard, carrying a basket of wooden halberds, and a piece of jerky in his mouth, chewing vigorously!

I used to think that wild boar meat was not as delicious as domestic pork, and it was firewood and had no fat, but since Xiangxiang made this pork jerky, Han Jin felt that the wild boar meat in the past was really blind! He plans to find an opportunity to go into the mountains after the year and come back with two pork legs!

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening is the most important, most people eat very simple in the morning, they have a simple breakfast, just cook frozen dumplings.

However, Zhou Lanxiang still mixed a cabbage heart, and took out the leftover tofu from yesterday, and watched Xiaoshan run over to smell the shallots and coriander planted under the windowsill, so she pinched it, passed the tofu through hot water, and made a shallots mixed with tofu.

Because of the sesame oil she got from Uncle Zhao, she ordered a few drops of vinegar, and before she could put it on the plate, Xiaoshan circled around her.

Han Jin boiled water to boil dumplings, he has cooked frozen dumplings very well recently, as long as he is alive here, it will be his.

The three of them worked together, and soon breakfast was ready, and Xiaoshan also served everyone a bowl of dumpling soup very intimately.

Zhou Lanxiang looked at his white face and beautiful big eyes and smiled: "So caring, you are a sister, right?" "This child couldn't keep up with nutrition a few years ago, and when he was not yet tall, he still looked like a little boy.

He has looked five or six points like his sister since he was a child, and he really looks like a beautiful little sister, better looking than many little girls in the tunzi.

Xiaoshan snatched the dumpling soup at her hand and taught her sister angrily: "It's Brother Jin who brought you badly!" Don't listen to his nonsense in the future! ”

The dumplings that Han Jin was about to put in his mouth stopped, what did it matter to him?

Zhou Lanxiang tried hard not to let herself laugh, and hurriedly nodded and coaxed Xiaoshan: "If you don't listen to your brother, my sister won't let him say it in the future!" ”

Xiaoshan was satisfied, and snatched two dumplings from Brother Jin's plate before letting him go.

Zhou Lanxiang hurriedly sandwiched two of them to Han Jin, and she had to coax them in her heart to see how old they were.

It's really good, Xiaoshan knows that he has a little temper and has grown taller, more than two months ago, this child still looked like a little adult, thin and small, and he can't wait for a small body to all the hearts of their siblings.

Xiao Jin also laughed more and more, and even Sister Fang Ya and Aunt Zhao Wu said that they dared to tease him now, he used to be like a dynamite bag, and the eyes of people made people panic.

The three of them will definitely get better and better in the future!

After eating, all three of them changed into new clothes.

Zhou Lanxiang is a small red floral thin jacket, brand new inside and out, it is the material that Han Jin bought back when he went back to the county to sell mountain goods, the color is particularly positive, the small flowers are dotted, yellow, purple and blue, and with fresh and tender small leaves, festive and watery, it was specially bought for her to wear for the New Year.

Zhou Lanxiang felt that this color was too bright, but Han Jin felt that it was just right, "Little girl, don't you have to wear bright clothes, don't you learn from those educated youths and those iron girls, dress like an old lady, and look at them for the New Year!" Can you still be called a woman like that? It's a big man! ”

As soon as this kid said it, she called her a little girl, Zhou Lanxiang wanted to pull her ears and teach him a few words like when she was a child, but unfortunately he was too tall to reach.

Han Jin is Zhou Lanxiang made him a new set of dark gray khaki tunics, he has grown up, he has to meet next year, this year Zhou Lanxiang made him several new clothes.

This set officially wore a full set for the first time today, he is tall, long-legged, and straight-waisted, and he has no more energy! Xiaoshan was so envious, "Brother Jin looks better than the teachers in the county!" More energetic than Brother Jianguo wearing a military uniform! ”

This is the best person Xiaoshan can think of, but in his heart, no one is as good as Brother Jin's spirit!

Han Jin saw that Xiangxiang also nodded in agreement with Xiaoshan's words, straightened his waist even more, and decided that Zhao Jianguo would wear this before returning to the army!

Xiaoshan's clothes are not new, the jacket is changed from a small military uniform worn by Han Jin, although it is old, but there are also seven or eight percent new, there is no patch, this dress is worn out, it is much more powerful than new clothes in the little boys!

The pants were also changed from Han Jin's old pants, a pair of blue labor cloth pants, and the little guy couldn't wait to put them on early in the morning.

Although the clothes are not new, they are not patched, he is young, and when he is tall, he has done a lot of new waste, and he also has a new set of clothes for school, and he is making it.

After changing into new clothes, they began to prepare for the reunion dinner, Zhou Lanxiang first started the oil pot croquettes, they are going to fry a few more things this year, the same vegetarian meatballs, and then make a sweet potato ball, the three of them will work together, and soon the fragrance will spread far and wide.

But there is no one at the team site today, and the old grandfather has also gone home for the New Year, and the young people are all engaged in battles in the commune, and there are no people living near the threshing floor, so it is not easy for people to smell the fragrance.

Zhou Lanxiang saw this time and decided to make more and keep it until the spring thaw.

As soon as it was blown up, the three of them stopped to eat some, several of them grew up under Grandpa Han's knees since childhood, and the old man was used to children, and he never restrained them in eating.

After the meatballs were fried, they began to prepare other dishes, and the eldest brother Zhou Qingsong came over with a small pot of white noodles.

The eldest brother has always been clumsy, and he doesn't know what to say to his younger siblings, so he just handed over the noodles and smiled honestly, "Make dumplings for you, and I'll pick up Xiaoxiang to go around the well when it's dark." ”

They have a custom that unmarried girls in the family on Chinese New Year's Eve are taken by their parents or brothers to the well platform for a few circles, which is said to be able to ward off diseases and disasters.

They all had one or two big wells, and all the people went to the wells to fetch water to eat, and there were wooden troughs for the cattle to drink. The well is a very lively place in the tunzi, and many customs are also related to the well, such as the child who is not in good health on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to go to the ice pile by the well to roll, and then bring back a piece of ice, which is said to be good health.

Zhou Lanxiang sandwiched a big bowl of balls for the eldest brother and asked him to sit by the stove to eat, looking at his thin cotton jacket and cotton shoes with exposed cotton, his heart was sour.

But she can manage children, but not adults, she used to do needlework for her eldest brother, and her sister-in-law made a fuss when she found out, saying that she picked up her eldest brother and her own centrifugation, and the two of them didn't know how many times they fought for this, and she didn't dare to care about it in the future.

The eldest brother refused to eat a few balls, Zhou Lanxiang tried to persuade him to no avail, so Xiaoshan asked him, "Big brother, how many dishes will our family eat for the New Year?" What are my mother and sister-in-law doing now? ”

The eldest brother smiled innocently, "Eat several, and the family has started cooking." ”

After staying for a while and leaving, Zhou Lanxiang looked at the small pot of noodles, poured out the small pot and filled it with a pot of vegetarian balls for the eldest brother to take back, "It's the New Year, give it to the children." ”

The eldest brother said that he didn't want anything, pushed it for a long time, and locked Zhou Lanxiang in the house and ran away. Xiaoshan chased after him, and the eldest brother was worried about them for the New Year, and they couldn't let the eldest brother go home and be complained.

No one has much face, and he took away a small pot of sister-in-law, maybe how to toss it at home!

Xiaoshan caught up with the eldest brother on the road, and after coming back for a while, he didn't expect Zhang Guirong to come over.

As soon as she entered the door, Han Jin and Xiaoshan stared at her, she looked for a good change, and found an opportunity to whisper to Zhou Lanxiang, "Xiaoxiang, didn't you notice that your reputation has deteriorated a lot after the divorce?" Why aren't you paying attention? You fried so many balls and sent them to Fangya's family, Zhao Wu's family, the pole family, and the captain's family, why don't you send some to your eldest sister's family? Your Aunt Liu hasn't eaten balls for several years! ”
