Thank you Ying, Zhou Ying, and listen to the rain for your rewards. The red envelope to 350 has a plus more Oh O(∩_∩)O~

——————————————————————————

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the new year. There is a custom of eating dumplings in the north during the New Year, which means to see off the king of the stove, because in ancient times there was a saying of "sending off dumplings to the wind".

On the day of the new year, early in the morning, the old man led a family to sacrifice the king of the stove. Liu expertly boils stove sugar, which is a sugar product made from malt and millet. The milky white large pond is placed on the offering table in front of the statue of the king of the stove in a square plate, and the others are clear water, beans, and straw...... It is also necessary to paste the festive Stove King couplet.

Freshly made stove candy, put it in the mouth and bite it, it is crispy and fragrant, and it is a favorite snack for children. Every year of the year, families with conditions will do more to give their children a tooth sacrifice.

Yu Xiaocao is not very good at making traditional stove sugar, so she boils white sugar into syrup, and then puts in fried sesame seeds or peanuts to make sesame candy and peanut candy. During the Chinese New Year, you can have a few more snacks. was scolded by Liu's laughing and scolded a few words of "loser girl"! In this era, it is good for ordinary people to have a full stomach, where is the extra money to buy white sugar to make sesame candy and peanut candy?

In the evening, the Yu family made two kinds of dumplings, meat and vegetarian. The meat dumplings are filled with wild boar meat and green onions, and the fat and thin wild boar pork belly is cut into diced meat and chopped into meat filling with green onions. There is more meat and less vegetables, and it tastes delicious.

The vegetarian dumplings are filled with leek vermicelli eggs, the vermicelli is soaked in hot water to soften, cut into minced pieces to dry, fried in oil, plus scrambled eggs, minced leeks, if you add the oil residue left over from oil refining, not to mention how fragrant. Yu Xiaocao likes to eat a few bites of the filling when making vegetarian dumplings, and the taste is simply beyond words.

The family sat around the kang table, eating their favorite meat and vegetarian dumplings, and the happy atmosphere made Yu Xiaocao sigh at the beauty of the family reunion.

In the previous life, the parents left early, especially in the first few years of the Chinese New Year, there were only three and a half children left, and it was all kinds of desolation when you thought about it. Fortunately, when she left, her younger brothers and sisters had their own small families, and she had less concern about her previous life.

Yu Xiaocao's expression was a little trance-like, in her previous life, it seemed to be getting more and more distant, so far away that it seemed like it was a dream, a long and difficult dream......

"Cao'er, what do you want? The vegetarian dumplings you like will be snatched up by a few little guys if you don't eat them! Yu Hai saw that her little daughter looked lonely, staring at the corner of the kang table in a daze, looking a little out of place in the lively atmosphere, so he hurriedly sandwiched a few dumplings for her and interrupted her softly.

In the northern year, Xiaonian generally eats meat dumplings, and it is only because Xiaocao likes it that he wraps a plate of dumplings with leeks and eggs. Maybe it's eating fresh, Liu Yan'er, Liu Fangping, Yu Xiaolian and Xiaoshi, you taste one, I will taste one, and half a plate will go down at once. Xiao Nian is a lively reunion, so the two families live together.

The dumplings with leek eggs are all scrambled with meat oil, and the eggs are also put in a lot, as well as the fragrant oil residue, no wonder the children like it.

Seeing that Dad put the delicious vegetarian dumplings into the second sister's bowl one by one, Xiao Shi protested: "Dad, you are eccentric!" You gave all the vegetarian dumplings to the second sister, what are we going to eat? ”

Yu Hai glared at the smiling stinky boy and said, "Don't you love pork dumplings?" Don't follow the foolishness, there are so many pork dumplings! ”

Yu Xiaocao sandwiched a leek dumpling for his younger brother from his bowl and said, "Dad, the dumplings of wild boar are also quite delicious, and I love to eat them too!" Dumplings are lively when everyone eats them together! ”

Xiao Shi covered his small bowl and smiled strangely: "Second sister, I'm teasing our father!" How can vegetarian dumplings be as delicious as pork dumplings? Second sister, your preferences are different from everyone! Leek dumplings, let's just try them, and leave the rest for you to eat! ”

Yu Xiaocao stretched out his hand and pinched his fleshy little face, and said, "You are a rice bucket when you are the second sister, these dozens of dumplings are left for me to eat, which can make my stomach explode!" Eat quickly, help the second sister share a few! ”

Yu Xiaocao divided the vegetarian dumplings on the plate with each of the two families. After dividing the circle, there are still about a dozen left, just enough for her to eat!

Xiao Shi covered his face and protested: "Second sister, I'm no longer a child, don't keep pinching my face!" I'm going to take the Xiucai exam next year! ”

"Don't talk about taking the test Xiucai, even if you are admitted to the top prize, you are also my little brother! Pinching you means liking you, who called you the youngest in our family? Yu Xiaocao pinched his little face again.

Xiao Shi protected his face, pouted and snuggled up to Liu's side, and said loudly: "Mother, you have another little brother, so that the second sister will only pinch the little brother and not me!" ”

Liu listened to his son's words, his face flushed with shame, and he slapped him twice on the back. Her man laughed a few times beside her, and got her little white eye.

After the small year, the New Year is getting closer and closer. The weather has been fine these days, and the town is the last big gathering of the year, and many families have dragged their children to the town to make up for the New Year's goods. The carriage of the Yu family was equipped with a shed, in which sat the twin sisters Yu Xiaocao and Yu Xiaolian, and the five children Liu Yan'er, Xiaoshi, and Liu Fangping, chattering so lively.

Yu Hang and Liu Junping thought they were big children, and sat outside chatting with Yu Hai and Liu Hu, who were driving the car. Except for the two hostesses Liu and Yu Caifeng, who washed and washed at home to prepare for the New Year, the others came out to catch the big set.

The carriages and donkey carts of the Yu family were parked at the carriage and horse shops outside the city gate, and as long as they paid a small deposit fee, they could park for a whole day and help feed the livestock. However, you have to bring your own forage or spend an extra fee. The horses and donkeys of the Yu family didn't care about the forage outside at all, and they all ate their own forage with a little spiritual stone water.

When the children jumped out of the carriage, Yu Hai and Liu Hu looked at the little radish heads of different heights and felt a little headache. After entering the city gate, I saw the crowded streets, and my head hurt even more!

Yu Hai said to his eldest son and Liu Junping: "Your task is to be optimistic about your younger brothers and sisters, there are many people during the Chinese New Year, and those who shoot flowers will take advantage of the chaos, but don't be careless!" ”

Yu Hang and Liu Junping nodded solemnly. Xiao Shi showed Xiao Hei in his hand fearlessly, and said with a smile: "If you meet a flower shooter, let Xiao Hei bite his buttocks!" ”

Xiao Fangping also took the rope that tied Xiaobai from Xiaocao's hand, jumped and shouted: "And Xiaobai!" Xiao Hei bites one side of the buttocks, and Xiao Bai bites the other side! Biting the bad guys whoa!! ”

Although the little black and white are not big, after all, they are purebred wolves, and they look majestic and not easy to mess with. However, the personalities of the two little ones are diametrically opposed. Xiao Hei is honest and cute, has an excellent temperament, and can play with anyone. Xiaobai has a cold temperament, except for Yu Xiaocao, he shows a disdainful expression towards everyone.

At this time, Xiao Bai saw that his reins were in Liu Fangping's hand, bit the other end of the rope with his teeth, pulled hard, and took advantage of Xiao Fangping's lack of attention, pulled the rope over, grabbed Xiaocao's side, grabbed her pants with his front legs, and stuffed the rope into her hands. Then he gave Liu Fangping a disdainful look.

"It's all up to you! Don't be left behind!! After Yu Hai told the children uneasily, he led the large army into the flow of people.

Liu Junping held his sister Liu Yan'er with one hand, and turned his head with the other hand to please Xiaobai's younger brother Liu Fangping. Yu Hang followed his example, dragging the small stone with one hand and Yu Xiaolian with the other, and asked Xiaolian to pull her little sister. The four brothers and sisters are each escorted by a majestic wolf on each side, forming a dazzling scenery on the street.

There are seven cousins, although they are dressed modestly, they are very clean and tidy, there is not a single patch on the clothes on their bodies, and their appearance is above average. The appearance of the Yu family brothers and sisters is better, Yu Hang has already drawn almost one meter seven, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a healthy wheat complexion.

Xiaolian and Xiaocao, twin sisters, look very similar at first glance, but they are very different when they are carefully identified. The skin of the grass is like a shelled egg, white and red, without a single blemish; Xiaolian's complexion is slightly darker due to the long-term exposure to the wind and sun on the dock. Xiaocao's eyes are big and bright, as if she can see through people's hearts, Xiaolian's eyes are not small, but her face is slightly rounder, and her eyes are not so prominent. Overall, the two of them are very good-looking, and they are a pair of two-eyed sisters.

Xiao Shi is the handsome little Zhengtai, whose eyes are always smiling, his nose is straight, and his facial features are the most outstanding among the four brothers and sisters.

Yu Hai and Liu Hu were shopping for New Year's goods in front, and several children could honestly follow behind at first. Later, I was attracted by the various snacks and toys on the side of the street, and slowly dispersed. Fortunately, Liu Yan'er's sister and brother were stared at by Liu Junping, and Yu Hang followed closely behind the younger brothers and sisters.

"Big brother, there's a monkey in front! Let's check it out!! Without waiting for Yu Hang to respond, he shook off his eldest brother's hand and led Xiao Hei into the crowd.

Yu Xiaocao was also full of interest in monkey play, followed behind the eldest brother, and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers. In the circle, a pair of monkey tricksters who look like grandparents and grandchildren, the girl beats the gong to attract people to see, and the white-haired old man directs the clothed monkey, sometimes somersaulting, sometimes walking tightropes, sometimes climbing high poles, and sometimes wearing masks to open boxes...... From time to time, the crowd erupted in bursts of cheers.

After the performance was over, the little girl held the gong to collect the money. Those who did not want to give money gradually dispersed, and those who did not lack the penny or two threw one or two copper plates into it. Yu Xiaocao looked at the little girl with yellow face and thin muscles, and felt that it was not easy for folk artists, so she threw two copper plates into it.

At this time, in the dispersed crowd, there was a sudden cry: "Where is my child? Who saw my child? Dog baby-dog baby-"

"Alas-" An old man beside Yu Xiaocao sighed deeply and said, "It must have been taken away by Pai Huazi!" Every time there is a big gathering during the New Year, there will always be a few children lost. These adults too, don't know how to take care of their children when they go out......"
