On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Shen Pomegranate's clothes were finally sewn, and he took it over for Shen Shu to try it on, and it was quite right.

Zheng also brought the sewn clothes to Shen Shimei, and looked at Shen Shimei's stitches by the way, and boasted: "It's good, although there are still places to make hand, but the first time I made it like this, it is much stronger than my mother at the beginning." ”

Shen Shiliu was naturally happy when she was praised, and hurriedly went back to find a piece of straw paper and began to draw drawings, and she could make clothes herself in the future!

Shen Shu saw Shen Pomegranate leave like this, and said with a smile: "It's really a big girl!" ”

Zheng said: "I didn't want to stay, sooner or later I want to get married, it's this Du Xuanmo, I'm really not at ease, I will have to suffer from the pomegranate in the future!" ”

"Pomegranate likes it, and Pomegranate is not an ignorant person, she should have calculations in her heart, and she won't really let herself jump into the fire pit. And Pomegranate also said that if you really want to marry Han Shuliang, you may not be able to enjoy happiness, so let your mother rest assured. ”

"This kid is older, I don't know what I think about being a mother!" Zheng pondered that he couldn't control it.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Shimei changed into new clothes. The pink jacket is also decorated with rabbit fur on the edge, and the whole person looks round and cute.

"It's good-looking, the pomegranate is really getting better and better, I said it a long time ago, your brother is all good-looking, you must be not bad!" Zheng said with a smile.

Shen Shimei looked at herself in the mirror, although it was still quite round, but it looked quite pleasing, it was very different from the greasy face before, and the results of her weight loss were finally seen.

"Let's take it off first." Shen Shiliu took off his clothes as he spoke.

"Huh? Why take it off with all the hard work! Zheng wondered.

Shen Pomegranate said with a smile: "Take it off first, wait until the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is ready and then put it on, otherwise it will be infected with the smell of oil smoke, and it is hard to make it, I can't bear it!" ”

"That's right!" After Zheng responded, he hurried out to prepare.

Their Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve food here is very important, and after a year of hard work, they can only eat and dress well during the New Year, and live a comfortable life, so they pay attention to it a lot.

Shen Shiliu changed into her usual clothes and went to the stove to help Zheng, it was the first time for her to celebrate the New Year here, and she couldn't figure out what to say about how to prepare.

There was a large pile of ingredients on the large table next to it, which had been prepared a few days in advance.

"How many Chinese New Year's Eve dinners are we going to make?" I feel like I can't finish this big table in a day! Shen Shiliu said.

"It's good that you can't finish eating, and you can have a surplus in the coming year, which is just a good omen." As for how much to make, we don't have to make too many dishes, just ten dishes, perfect and auspicious! Zheng said with a smile.

Shen Shiliu nodded, ten dishes is not much.

When night fell, Shen's father hung up the red lanterns, and Shen Shu also hung up the firecrackers he had bought, and waited for a while to put them when the meal was served.

"Pomegranate, there's nothing left on the stove, you and your brother go outside to put flowers!" Zheng said, just the last two stir-fried side dishes, she can get it alone.

Shen Shimei nodded, hurriedly washed his hands, put on his new clothes, and then put flowers in the yard with Shen Shu.

There is no "smoking ban" in modern cities, and the villagers like to set off firecrackers during the New Year's holidays. Shen Pomegranate estimated the time, and estimated that if he hadn't come here, he would have watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in his hometown in the countryside!

I used to think that the more I watched the Spring Festival Gala every year, the more boring it became, but now when I compare it, there is really no entertainment here. There are no old lines like "audience friends, I want to kill you" in previous years, which makes Shen Shiliu a little trance again.

"Pomegranate, what do you want?" Shen Shu looked at Shen Pomegranate and looked at the flowers in his hand and was stunned, so he asked.

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that this year had passed quite quickly." When she came, the spring flowers were lush and green, and now they were covered in snow, and time passed quickly.

"You'll be fourteen next year, and you'll be able to get married by fifteen." Shen Shu said.

"Marry, how easy is it to marry?" Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly, she is living in modern life, and it is so difficult to get married. It's difficult to just find a partner, all kinds of inappropriate, all kinds of picking, and finally becoming an older leftover man and woman. In such a comparison, I feel that the marriage of this ancient person is simple to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and in the end, the big sedan chair is carried away, and it is a lifetime, but whether it is good or not in the end is another matter.

Shen Shu looked at Shen Pomegranate like this, and said: "Don't worry, my brother will help you, my sister is so good, unless Du Xuanmo is blind and stupid, or he won't like you!" "He Shen Shu is such a sister, he wants to make Shen Pomegranate happy in the future!

Shen Pomegranate smiled: "My brother is the best!" "Shen Shu is really good to her sister, the Shen family is also a kind person, there is no patriarchy, and she is not good to her because she is fat and round, she feels that she is really lucky and grateful.

Zheng shouted at the two children at the door: "Come in for dinner, the firecrackers have been lit directly!" ”

Shen Pomegranate stood up and watched Shen Shu go to the gate to light the hanging firecrackers.

The crackling firecrackers shattered the red paper on the ground, and the smell of the New Year in the air became more and more intense. Other families in the village also set off firecrackers, and when it was time for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, every household was setting off firecrackers.

Entering the house, the table was already full of a large table of dishes, and all the dishes that Shen Shimei was good at were also placed today, with wine and meat, and Shen's father was already happy.

"Last year's New Year was still bitter haha, this year's days are really much better, thanks to the fast rotation of our pomegranate brain!"

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner almost became Shen Pomegranate's commendation meeting, and Shen Pomegranate was praised so much that he couldn't find the north.

"Okay, okay, I also know that I'm excellent, and we're all a family!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, her painting style is different. Others have crossed the rebirth of what are the kings and grandsons, and opened the mode of tearing cockfighting, although she is not rich and expensive in this little people's house, but she is not frozen and hungry, her father is kind and her mother is virtuous, and there is a brother who loves and cares, she can be regarded as opening the "country daughter mode"!

After eating, the family just sat together and chatted, staying up late on Chinese New Year's Eve is really staying up late, and the family of four stared at the eyeballs until dawn.

In the morning, Shen Shimei was already sleepy, she had never stayed up all night like this, and her eyes were a little wilted.

It stands to reason that there are relatives walking around on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Shen's father's parents died early, and the Zheng family has to go back to the third year of junior high school as a daughter, and there is no one in the next generation, so there will be a bye on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is no need to go around.

Firecrackers on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year are a must, and there is another meal of dumplings. After all the work was done, Shen Pomegranate's eyelids were fighting together, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"I'll sleep for a while......" Shen Shiliu went back to the room listlessly, this New Year is not the same as what he thought, it is still a manual work.

The Shen family was disbanded, and they all went back to sleep first.

Shen Shiliu slept until noon, there were firecrackers in every house outside, and the village was not big, Shen Shiliu didn't sleep well this time, and she was in a daze like someone setting off firecrackers next to her ears.

After getting up, Shen Pomegranate went to the stove to light the fire, and heated up all the leftover dishes from yesterday, but no matter how delicious things were, they couldn't be eaten in a row, Shen Pomegranate looked at the dishes on the table and was a little tired.

The rest of the Shen family also got up at this time, and their spirits were better after making up for sleep.

"Why don't I make some soup and get rid of the greasy." Shen Shiliu said.

Zheng nodded, and Shen Shimei went to work.

Shen Pomegranate first went down to the cellar and took two potatoes, and then went to the pickle vat to get a sauerkraut in the pickle jar.

"Do you make sauerkraut soup?" Zheng asked.

"Well, it'll be fine in a while!" Shen Pomegranate replied, and then went to make sauerkraut soup.

Sauerkraut soup is not uncommon in their place, pickled with cabbage in autumn, and is considered a staple of the table in winter.

Shen Pomegranate wrung the water in the sauerkraut first, and then ripped off the vegetable leaves one by one. Because the cabbage will be a little thick, if you eat it directly, it will definitely be difficult to bite and affect the taste, so Shen Pomegranate uses a knife to slice the cabbage gang horizontally first, so that when you shred it, it will be light and easy to bite.

Shred the potatoes, drain the sauerkraut with water to clean it, and the preparation is OK.

Add water to the pot, Zheng took the remaining half of the elbow flowers from last night, and Shen pomegranate was directly put into the pot.

There was sauerkraut soup squatting in the pot, and soon the whole room could ask about the faint sourness, Shen Pomegranate saw that it was almost boiled, so he rubbed a handful of dried chili peppers and threw them in, and finally came out of the pot.

"Come on, drink some sour anti-greasy!" Shen Pomegranate handed everyone a bowl of hot sauerkraut soup.

Father Shen took a sip and said, "Even if you are rich and rich, you can't eat chicken, duck and fish like this every day. ”

Shen Shiliu said with a smile: "So our family's life is already very good, no matter how rich you are, you must have a good body to enjoy, and you can't stand eating so much greasy fish and meat every day!" "In modern times, we still pay attention to whether cholesterol is high or not, and ancient people should pay more attention, otherwise there is no cure for high blood pressure fatty liver!

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Shiliu thought that there was nothing to do at home, but at noon, someone knocked on the door.

"It's coming!" Shen Pomegranate hurriedly went to open the door, and Shen Pomegranate was quite surprised when the door opened.

"Brother Du?" Shen Shiliu didn't expect Du Xuanmo to come at this time.

Du Xuanmo saw that it was Shen Shimei who came to open the door, and said, "It's a New Year's greeting for you!" ”

Shen Shimei was quite surprised that Du Xuanmo would come!

"Come in!" Shen Shiliu went to welcome Du Xuanmo in.
