Chapter 325: Lively Reunion
It's already cold and windy outside, but in the Sanjin courtyard of Ye Mansion, it's not deserted at all, especially in the East Warm Pavilion where you eat, and now it's filled with a strong warmth and rich aroma.
The eldest girl Xiaohu took one of Cui'er's hands and followed Cui'er into the Dongnuan Pavilion, "Grandma, grandpa, we're back!" ”
"Good...... Come on, is it cold outside? Master Ye and Mrs. Ye were sitting in the room talking, and when they saw the two children walking in with Cui'er, they pulled the two children to their side with a smile, looked up and down, and asked carefully.
"It's not cold outside, Yahuan got a small hand stove!" Hearing this, Xiaohu raised his head from Master Ye's side, and raised the hand stove that was wrapped in the embroidered purse with a smile.
"Well, there is a charcoal fire in this hand stove, so be careful not to burn it when you use it on weekdays." Mrs. Ye nodded when she heard this, and then reached out and touched Xiaohu's hand, and saw that his hand was really not cold, so she was relieved.
"Father, mother, don't worry, I asked them when they came back." Cui'er said with a smile, watching her mother take fruits and snacks for the children, for fear that the children would be hungry, and hurriedly said, "Let's eat shabu-shabu later, but we all have a little stomach, or we won't be able to eat it!" ”
"Eat shabu-shabu, that's good!" As soon as Mrs. Ye heard about eating shabu-shabu, she no longer stuffed things into the children's hands, but instructed the mother around her to put these fruits and everything in the food box, so that they could be brought when the big girl and the little tiger left later.
Cui'er watched her mother and mother busy working, but she didn't interrupt or correct, and felt that her mother cared about the two children too much, which was a little funny, but she felt very heartwarming, forget it. Although the Dingguo Mansion is not bad for eating and drinking, it is a piece of the mother's heart, and if she is willing to bring it to the children, she will bring it.
At this time, the curtain of the door was lifted, the light behind the screen dimmed, and the tall Lian Qingshan walked in from outside, took off the cloak he was wearing and handed it to the maid at the door, and stood in front of the brazier at the door and said. "I'm back!"
"Daddy's back!" The big girl and the little tiger were dazzled when they saw Lian Qingshan. Hurriedly rushed to Lian Qingshan, holding Lian Qingshan's big hand and chattering.
"Did it go well?" Cui'er watched Lian Qingshan come in and went to the basin of water. He mixed some hot water from the copper kettle, threw a steaming handkerchief, and then walked to Lian Qingshan, "Wipe your face." ”
"Hmm!" Lian Qingshan ran outside all morning. He had just entered the house from outside in the snow and wiped his face with a hot cloth. Being steamed by the heat like this, my hands and face are much more comfortable, "It's okay today, it's not cold to have a little snowflakes floating outside." ”
"You kid. Don't take yourself seriously while you're young, your injuries are just right, how can you always run outside like this! Mrs. Ye said disapprovingly.
"Got it. Mother, this is not all in the wax moon. Arrange the things outside, let's celebrate the New Year, right? Lian Qingshan understood his mother-in-law's care in disguise, and replied with a smile.
"Okay, Qingshan is giving a New Year's gift to his colleagues, it's not a bad thing, his brothers are all on the battlefield, entrusting him to take care of the family, can this help!" Although Master Ye also felt sorry for his son-in-law, he thought more than Mrs. Ye.
Seeing that they had already entered the wax moon, even Qingshan and Cui'er had found General Yang and their old colleagues, so they should move around, so they took advantage of this wax moon to prepare the New Year's ceremony with Cui'er, and walked door to door to take a look.
One is to better communicate with the previous colleagues, so that it is easier to do errands after restoring the identity of the deputy general, and the other is also to take care of the families of the comrades.
Today, Lian Qingshan went to Brother Hu's house, his house because of Cui's affairs, cleaned up a lot of people to go out, this is almost the New Year, there are many things that need to be busy, and some things are inconvenient for Sister-in-law Hu, a woman who is inconvenient to go out, will send someone to Lian Qingshan to ask him for a favor.
"Good, good...... You men always have something to say, I won't nag you, I'll go see how the hot pot is! Mrs. Ye naturally knew that Lian Qingshan was planning for the future, but she felt more sorry for her daughter, thinking that her daughter's stomach was already bulging, she must have wanted Lian Qingshan to be by her side, and wanted to beat her son-in-law with words, but she was worried that her daughter was distressed, so she simply didn't want to do this, waved her hand and pulled the girl, and went to the dining room to see how the meal was prepared.
Master Ye smiled and waved at Lian Qingshan, Lian Qingshan put Xiaohu on his shoulders and walked towards Master Ye's side, making Xiaohu clap his hands and laugh, but it scared Cui'er's heart to jump. It's not that Lian Qingshan threw Xiaohu to the ground, but Lian Qingshan was already tall, and he carried Xiaohu on his shoulders, if he was still in the old house in Shantun, Xiaohu's head would be on the roof, and the house was high.
"Aunt Cui, I'll take the small bag and the soft!" The cotton curtain was beaten up by the little girl, and Hui Ya walked in wearing a new cotton skirt, her body was slender and slender, but she was holding a pink and tender round and soft like a cotton bag, and she was followed by Xiangmo, who was holding a small bag.
"Huiya, you're just in time, I'm about to be called you!" When Cui'er brought Da Niu and Xiaohu over just now, Soft and Xiaobao hadn't woken up yet, so Cui'er asked Huiya to watch for a while, and then hugged them when they woke up, so as not to wake up the two children and make them uncomfortable.
"Mother...... Giggle...... "Soft saw her mother, stretched out her little arm and was about to pounce on Cui'er, Huiya hurriedly hugged Soft, and said while walking to Cui'er's side, "Soft, you can't pounce like this, if you fall to the ground, it will hurt." ”
"Hehe...... softly obviously knew what Huiya was talking about, and smiled at Huiya's flattering hehe, revealing a few white little teeth, looking at her pink little face, Huiya was worried in her heart, but she couldn't say the words of reprimand.
"Aunt Cui. Look at the soft, only such a small person......" Huiya didn't know what to say, she held Softsoft in her arms and stood beside Cui'er, and gently scraped her tender little face with her fingers.
"Yes, such a small person, who made you such a ghost!" Cui'er also stretched out her hand and pinched her soft little face, touching the little face under her hand that was smoother than the finest silk. Just feel for these kids. No matter how much you love, you can't love enough.
"Come soft, brother!" Xiaohu had already earned it from Lian Qingshan's body when he saw the softness. Ran to Huiya's side, stretched out his little arm and smiled softly.
"Hug!" nodded with a soft smile, and as soon as he slipped off Huiya, he was tightly held by Xiaohu. One big and one small wandered around the house. Xiaobao saw his brother playing with his sister, and he was also anxious. Busy yelling to get off the ground, following Xiaohu and Soft Ass, he also stumbled and walked, very happy.
Cui'er watched the children happily holding hands and playing. I was worried that after the big girl and the little tiger returned to the Guogong Mansion, they would alienate the feelings of their brothers and sisters, and the worries also disappeared.
"The meal was ready. Let's eat! "Here, the maids have already brought up the bottom of the pot that Cui'er asked the cook to prepare early in the morning, and the copper hot pot built according to Cui'er's memory is steaming. The milky white three-fresh soup base inside, as well as the bright red spicy soup base with chili peppers, are all trying to exude the aroma outward.
"It's time to eat! Eat hot pot! As soon as the three children heard about eating, they happily rushed to the direction of the table, and were caught by the quick-eyed Cui'er and the big girl, and did not hit the table.
"It's time to eat?" Suddenly, as if a gust of wind was blowing, Xianyunzi Daoist quietly appeared in the courtyard of Sanjin, opened the door curtain, and the aroma came to his nose, sniffed, Xianyunzi rubbed his hands happily, "It's a hot pot, it's so good, it's great!" ”
"It's time to eat!" It's all a family, and you don't need to let anyone, sit down in the seat you are used to on weekdays, and the family will start in this tempting aroma!
Thinly sliced mutton, pork and fish slices after being frozen, fresh shrimp brought from the seashore and frozen into lumps, fungus and mountain mushrooms soaked in water, fish balls and shrimp balls made from fish and shrimp meat mashed, fresh tofu, frozen tofu, fried bean skin, potatoes, sweet potato vermicelli and various vegetables.
Plates of fresh vegetables, put in the bottom of the pot or fragrant or spicy, they are cooked, and then dipped in Cui'er's special sesame sauce, just like that, they are eaten so hot, which is a supreme enjoyment in the winter.
"Mother, you eat!" Cui'er put the scalded lamb slices into her mother's bowl, scalded a few more slices of meat, and put them in the bowl of the big girl and the little tiger. Seeing this, even Qingshan was busy scalding the meat to honor his father-in-law, as well as the Taoist of Xianyunzi.
"Dad, mother, you eat too!" The eldest girl looked at Cui'er and Lian Qingshan busy with the old people, so she followed the example of her mother and picked up the scalded meat for her father and mother to eat.
Xiaohu has short arms and can't reach the copper hot pot, but there is a Yahuan by his side, watching Yahuan put the meat slices in front of him after scalding, Xiaohu sandwiched the fragrant meat slices, and dipped them in a little sesame sauce after gently blowing them cold, but he didn't stuff them into his mouth, but carefully brought them to the soft front and fed them to the soft ones.
Xiaohu's movements are still a little rusty, and he looks clumsy, but this cautious and funny appearance makes the adults lean forward and backward, Mrs. Ye clapped her hands and smiled, "Look at Xiaohu like this, he will definitely be a daughter-in-law when he grows up in the future, look how well he takes care of his sister!" ”
"Haha, yes, yes, just like Daddy!" Lian Qingshan said quite proudly, obviously there was nothing wrong with Xiaohu's concern for his sister, and when he said that he loved his daughter-in-law, Lian Qingshan felt that he was a leader.
"Hurt daughter-in-law?" Xiaohu flashed his eyes, looked at the softness, looked at her pink and tender little face, and suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, "Well, I love my daughter-in-law!" (To be continued)
