Yu Xiaocao was full of black lines, glared at Da Gray warningly, and got a few dumplings for the little guy. Xiao Hei licked the little master's hand gratefully: Little master, you are the best! Xiao Hei loves you the most!! Then he devoured his dumplings, for fear that the unscrupulous father would rob him again.

Da Ash wants to repeat his old trick and grab Xiaobai's dumplings. Xiao Bai is not as good at talking as Xiao Hei, the dumplings were not grabbed, and Xiao Bai bit a tooth mark on his face. Big Gray looked at the "unfilial son" threateningly: If it weren't for the master watching from the side, Lao Tzu would be able to call you to the wall with a slap! Dare to show your hair with Lao Tzu, wait!!

Xiaobai finished eating the dumplings unhurriedly, without glancing at his father: bully the couple, the main silver won't give you good water, hum!!

Seeing Yu Xiaocao go out of the door of the west room, Xiaobai walked out behind with arrogant steps, ignoring the big ash that scratched the ground with his claws. Big Gray turned his head to look at Xiao Hei's rice bowl, and the little guy immediately took the last two dumplings in his mouth and rushed out of the door as fast as he could. The big gray heart is full of resentment: Master, why don't you have my delicious food, and you still send me to work?

In the main house, Zhao's mother and son and Kuroko had already finished eating dumplings. Lao Yutou teased the cute little Doudou and asked him to kowtow to the New Year: "Doudou, give grandpa a red envelope for the New Year!" ”

Under the guidance of his brothers and sisters, Doudou knelt with difficulty on his little short legs, touched his head a few times on the kang, and said auspicious words in his mouth: "I wish grandpa a happy new year, health and longevity!" ”

In the past, when there was no separation, the small characters gave New Year's greetings to the old Yutou couple, and they all had to kowtow. After Yu Hai went out separately, he just let the children bow and bow. It doesn't matter what form of New Year's greetings you have, as long as your heart arrives.

Xiao Doudou received a red envelope from his grandfather and was instigated by his brothers and sisters to open it. Xiaoshi smiled and said, "Doudou, count how many pennies you get?" ”

Xiao Doudou has learned to count, and it is not difficult for him at all: "One, two, three...... Ten copper plates, a total of ten pennies! ”

Zhao took the red envelope from his son's hand and prepared to return it to the old man: "Dad, it's too much, just give one or two articles to make the child happy." ”

In her opinion, the old man's food, clothing, housing and transportation all point to the second brother and sister-in-law's family, there are so many children, and ten copper plates for one person cost eighty or ninety wen, don't these have to be prepared by the second brother? She is here with her children today to pay New Year's greetings, not to earn New Year's money. She is not like her sister-in-law Li, who is shallow-eyed, and has exhausted the affection between relatives for a little cheapness.

Lao Yutou glanced at her, took the red envelope and stuffed it back into the hands of the aggrieved little grandson, and said, "Take it, everyone has it!" Don't worry, I have money. Your second brother will give me some pocket money every month, and I can't usually spend it. After saying that, he gave Kuroko another red envelope.

Xiao Doudou smiled, the second uncle, the second uncle, the eldest aunt, and the eldest uncle all gave red envelopes, and his little hands were stuffed full. Zhao was a little embarrassed, sat down and chatted for a few words, and then planned to go back. Lao Yutou thought for a while and said to Liu: "Second daughter-in-law, are there still dumplings in the kitchen?" Let the third daughter-in-law bring a bowl back to her man. "He's gone, but the third child is the blood and blood of his Yu family after all!

Liu didn't say anything, went to the kitchen and took a bowl of dumplings, put them in a small bamboo basket, covered them layer by layer with cotton cloth, and handed them to Zhao's hands. When Kuroko saw it, he wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he was not embarrassed to speak.

Seeing off the Zhao family's mother and son and Heizi, the Yu family soon ushered in a group of New Year's greetings. The first is Zhou Sango, who has a good relationship with Yu Xiaocao, followed by her brother Zhou Shaohua, as well as Qian Wen, Qian Wu and Qian Yafang of the Qian family. The three families are close to each other, and they move around a lot, and the relationship between the children is very good.

Qian Wen will be fourteen years old after the New Year, and he has grown into a beautiful young man. He is also preparing for the children's exam in February, and he works very weekdays, and when the academy is not suspended, even if he is off, he rarely comes back and stays in the academy to work hard. The college was affected by the disaster year and suspended classes, so he studied hard behind closed doors at home. Therefore, Xiaocao has not seen this little boy for a long time.

Yu Xiaocao took out snacks to entertain his friends. Zhou Sango's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Fried pumpkin seeds, fried peanuts, maltose, sesame sugar, peanut candy...... Xiaocao, your snacks are too rich. And this, this is the sunflower seeds that your family planted in the backyard, right? ”

Yu Xiaocao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes!" I fried the pepper and salt flavor, taste good or not! ”

Zhou Shan grabbed a handful unceremoniously, followed the example of the grass, took a sunflower seed and knocked it on the side of his mouth, clumsily peeled out the melon seeds inside, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, nodded and said, "It's very fragrant!" The things I brought back from the West taste pretty good! Taste it, all of you! ”

A few children were eating sugar and melon seeds and peanuts lively, talking and laughing, so happy. It didn't take long for the family to usher in a batch of New Year's greetings, including the eldest daughter of Uncle Zhu's family, Liu. Intelligent. Fang's youngest daughter Liu Yingzi, and the second son of Uncle Zhu's family, Tie Dan'er. Zheng Xiaocui, who always wanted to get to the side of the little county king, also came.

Eating the rich snacks of the Yu family, Zheng Xiaocui was envious and jealous in her heart: if it weren't for the prince of the county, how could the Yu family's life be so nourishing? If she becomes the concubine of the prince of the county, her family will definitely live better than the Yu family!

Alas! A man cannot be without self-knowledge. As far as her dark and thin ghost appearance is concerned, her facial features are quite delicate, and she may be praised for her good looks in Dongshan Village. Don't say it's the capital, even a random little girl on the street in the town is more beautiful than her. King Yangjun is not a pervert, it's strange that he can take a fancy to you!

No matter what kind of mood this group of children have, since they have come to pay New Year's greetings, those who have the ability will give the children a dried fruit snack or something. Liu grabbed sunflower seeds, peanuts and various sugars for the children, and the children went to the next house to pay their respects to the next one. Several children of the Yu family were also dragged by good friends to pay New Year's greetings to other families.

Not everyone is like the Yu family, who has prepared a lot of delicious food. In previous years, there were all kinds of nuts and dates on the mountain, and in autumn, every family would pick some back for the children as snacks. But this year, the mountains are bare with locusts, and there are many fewer people who can entertain small guests during the Chinese New Year. People like the village chief's family, the Qian family, and the Zhou family, who have a lot of money, will make some maltose or fried some fruits, and many families can't even eat enough, where do they get snacks to entertain the little ones who greet the New Year?

However, simple village children, whether they can get snacks or not, will happily give New Year's greetings. These cute little guys add a bit of New Year's flavor to the dreary Spring Festival......

After eating the sweet Lantern Festival and enjoying the colorful lantern festival, the Spring Festival is coming to an end. In order to prepare for the county examination in February, Rongxuan Academy resumed classes just after the Lantern Festival. However, eating became a big problem. Rice grains are easy to buy, but vegetables are hard to find. The master in the cafeteria is heartbroken every day for the children's meals. In the first days, except for pickles, which were dried vegetables, they were also very expensive. Fortunately, the children of wealthy merchants who lived in the south brought some radishes, cabbage and meat from the south, which alleviated the problem of eating vegetables.

Xiaoshi also signed up for the county exam in February. In order to let the younger brother eat well before the exam, Yu Xiaocao moved to the house in the town, and also moved the boxes of vegetables at home to the town. When transporting, cover it with a thick quilt so as not to freeze it.

The house in Yujia Town was specially selected to be close to Rongxuan Academy, so that it was convenient to open a small stove for small stones. Xiao Shi applied to the academy for day school, so that he could eat three meals a day at home. The dishes in the academy are too simple, and the chef's skills are average, how can the dishes cooked by the second sister be delicious?

Every morning, Yu Xiaocao boiled fragrant corn porridge for his younger brother, a boiled or fried egg, and spread an egg cake, or a leek box, or steamed pork buns. At noon, the sisters and brothers served two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and added a soup, and the main food was either rice or white steamed buns. In the evening, there are either dumplings or all kinds of noodles, and there are no heavy ones for a week. Xiao Shi held his little belly every day and went to the academy to show off to his classmates.

One day not long after, Xiao Shi came in with a wrong expression, Yu Xiaocao just wanted to ask if he had a conflict with someone in the academy, and when he looked up, he saw two little tails behind his little brother - Xiao Shi's roommate Liu Jinye and Little Fat Sun Runze. The other roommate was relatively young and did not participate in this year's children's examination, so he did not come to the academy to study for books.

The little fat Sun Runze said enthusiastically: "Second sister, let's partner up." My father gave me ten taels of silver a month for food, and I put it here for you. If it's not enough, I'll send another letter to my father to send it to me! ”

Liu Jinye is already thirteen years old after the New Year, and he explained with a little embarrassment: "The food in the academy is too poor, and I can't concentrate on reading because I can't eat enough. We know that the little grass girl is good at craftsmanship, and we want to build a fire ......."

A sheep must be driven, and a flock of sheep will be herded. Yu Xiaocao didn't say anything refusal, only said: "It's a disaster year, and it's just spring, and the ingredients are relatively simple, if you don't dislike it, let's eat it together." However, you're going back to the academy after dinner! ”

"That's nature!" Liu Jinye and Sun Runze nodded busily.

The little fat man asked even more excitedly, "Second sister, what are you going to eat tonight?" I don't pick and choose, as long as I can eat enough! ”

Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes in her heart, and said in her heart: Don't pick? Why don't you eat at the academy if you don't pick one, and what kind of fire do you have?

"Eat pork and bean sprouts stewed vermicelli at night. When you come, add another sour and hot shredded potato! Yu Xiaocao is not ready to get used to these two, she will do whatever she has at home, and they will eat whatever she wants.

The little fat Sun Runze's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Sour and hot shredded potatoes?" Is it the 'hot and sour potato shreds' for five taels of silver in the treasure house? Newly introduced vegetables from the West? ”
