In the blink of an eye, it's time for the children's favorite day - Chinese New Year's Eve!

Xiao Wu got up from the quilt early in the morning, Xu Miao hadn't gotten up yet, looking at Xiao Wu sitting in the new quilt with an excited face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and asked:

"Why do you get up so early? It's not dawn yet. ”

When the little guy heard this, he excitedly and carefully crossed Xu Ya, got into Xu Miao's bed, and raised his head coquettishly, afraid of making noise to San Lang and Xu Ya, and whispered:

"Eldest sister, it's the New Year, it's the New Year."

It is said that what children are looking forward to most is the New Year, which is really true. Xu Miao stretched out her hand and gently touched her brother's little face, nodded, and whispered:

"Yes, it's the New Year today, and our little five are one year older and six years old."

"Hehe...... the little guy finished laughing, hugged Xu Miao tightly, smelled the smell of new cotton and said, "The new quilt is warm." ”

Xu Miao didn't say anything, just patted the little five in his arms one by one, and after a while, the little guy closed his eyes again and fell asleep. At this moment, the sky outside also began to brighten up.

Xu Miao carefully pulled out his arm, tiptoed to start dressing, just got off the ground, San Lang woke up, these few days of recuperation, plus nutrition can also keep up, San Lang's body and bones are much better.

At this time, when he saw that the eldest sister got up, he also put on his clothes, Xu Miao looked at San Lang's movements, but he didn't stop him, and did some small work appropriately, so that he would not be really tired.

She opened the door and went to the outhouse, put the firewood that had been brought in the night before in the stove, lit it with a fire breaker, and then filled the cauldron with water, and she sat next to the stove and watched the fire in the stove.

After a while, San Lang came out of the back room, looked at Xu Miao and said:

"Sister, I'll go out and sweep the yard."

Saying that he was about to go out, Xu Miao quickly stood up, shook his head after holding him, and said, "You look at the fire, when the water is warm, you wash first, and then add water to boil, and my sister will sweep the yard." ”

"Big sister, I'm ......"

San Lang knew that his sister felt sorry for him and didn't want him to go out and suffer from the cold, but just as he was about to speak, Xu Miao directly shook his head and refused, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Obedient, sister will come back after a toss, our yard is small and not dirty."

After speaking, he pushed the door out of the west wing, took a big broom and began to sweep the yard. There was also movement over there, and it was the turn of the Jiang family in the third room to cook today, so this yard was swept by her boss Xu Zhenghai.

The uncle and nephew took a look, but no one spoke to anyone, although Xu Miao had a good impression of this Xu Zhenghai, but in the end he still had to keep a certain distance, after all, he and Xu Zhengjiang and Xu Zhenghu were brothers, and it was inevitable that they would be similar in personality.

Xiao Nizi was sweeping the yard, and Xu Zhenghai was also sweeping the courtyard, it was still early at this time, so there was really nothing else in the yard except for the sound of the broom sweeping the floor.

In the countryside, the New Year is to have lunch in the afternoon, when the family has firecrackers, this means the New Year. Children who want to wear new clothes have to wait a little longer, and after dinner in the evening, they have to boil water to take a bath, and after taking a bath, they can change into new clothes, celebrate the New Year, and eat dumplings.

Xu Miao shook her head secretly while sweeping the floor, in the previous Spring Festival, she basically spent it in the mahjong hall, no way, her parents died early, the so-called people go to tea and cool, as soon as her parents left, her former relatives rarely moved, and she had nothing to make a living during the New Year, and there was no other way than to go to the mahjong hall.

She has never watched the Spring Festival Gala, and she will feel a little congested when she looks at each house. This crossed over here, although there is no mahjong machine, and there is no TV, but with three little radish heads to accompany it, it seems to be good.

While thinking about sweeping, the ground was swept quite quickly, put the broom in the mezzanine, and picked up some firewood, and then returned to the house. Xu Ya and Xiao Wu have already gotten up, San Lang washed Xiao Wu's face again, and Xu Ya was folding quilts, cleaning up the house, and sweeping the floor.

Xu Miao never had to worry about this kind of work that they could do, the children were sensible, and they took the initiative to do it without telling them.

In the morning, the four sisters and brothers ate very simply, sauerkraut soup, wowotou, and a stack of small pickles. The meal at noon will be very rich, and there is no need to talk about it at night, so this morning, I will deal with it all, and then I will put away the nest head and hide it in the tank to freeze.

There is an unwritten custom in the countryside that from the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, it is not allowed to eat the head of the nest, it is said that the more you eat, the more bears you eat; Fine rice and fine grains, eat it.

This Yang, Xu Miao once thought, should mean that the days are getting better and better. Although there is no scientific basis, it is a fine grain all year round, and you must always eat some good ones during the New Year.

Xu Miao has never been stingy with food and clothing, even if she doesn't have the fifty taels of silver as a backing, she won't consider the problem of insufficient money, you can make more money when the money is gone, and the body is the capital of the revolution.

After breakfast, Xu Miao took Xu Ya to start preparing the noon meal, and after this evening, Xu Ya was also eight years old, although he was still a little short, but this cooking work could be handed over to her.

The sisters were busy in the kitchen, San Lang was not idle, and took Xiao Wu to pick up firewood outside, not that the firewood at home was not enough to burn, Xiao Wu was at home every day, San Lang was a little distressed, so he took him out to pick up firewood.

Xu Miao instructed the two of them, and began to prepare the meal, don't look at Xu Ya is still young, but this knife skill is really good, the shredded potatoes are cut evenly thick, the sweet potato pieces are cut to a moderate size, and the shredded sauerkraut is not an exaggeration to say, it can pass through the eye of the needle.

Xu Miao looked at the little girl's appearance, nodded with satisfaction, while looking at the fire in the hearth, while starting to stew chicken and fish, the little eight families are here for the New Year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is just to eat dumplings, and there are not too many stir-fried dishes.

After Xu Miao filled the pot with soup, she covered the pot and began to chop the pork belly, and she planned to make pork and green onions for dumplings tonight.

The meat bought this year, except for the fact that their sisters and brothers had some oil and water after the separation, at other times, they really ate some meat on the day they killed the New Year's pig. Xu Miao shook her head helplessly while thinking.

Xu Ya cut the vegetables, looked at the appearance of his eldest sister, tilted his head and asked:

"Eldest sister, what's wrong? Why are you still sighing? ”

"Nope!" Xu Miao looked at her and said with a chuckle, "Let's eat dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions tonight, ah!" ”

"Huh?!" When Xu Ya heard this, she was stunned, and after a long time, she muttered, "Sister, isn't it a little too blessed......
