The next day, the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, is Song Haonian's birthday, when the two of them discussed marriage, Li Caifeng sent eight characters, which were clearly written.

When he opened his eyes early in the morning, Lily kissed Song Haonian on the face, and asked him with a smile: "What do you want to do about your birthday today?"

Song Haonian is not very happy to celebrate his birthday, he is not loved by his parents when he is a child, and his brothers and sisters have birthdays, but he can't give it to him, and after a long time, he will lose interest.

The first time someone asked him how his birthday was, this was a novel experience, Song Haonian was stunned for a moment before replying: "Just pass it casually, let's not pay attention to that." ”

Lily rubbed him, "It's a birthday anyway, even if you don't want to live it, you have to be grand." ”

I didn't want Song Haonian to be in good spirits early in the morning, so I called her this rub, rubbed the fire, and turned over and pressed her underneath: "I just want to live with you." ”

There was a fire burning in his eyes, full of aggression, and he looked straight into the lily's eyes. Lily's heart throbbed, and she leaned up to kiss his eyelids.

Song Haonian couldn't hold back anymore, so he licked the lilies all over and ate them all over the morning with that little bit of anger in the morning.

In the middle, Lamei came to knock on the door: "Sister, are you up?"

Baiyi was shocked, Song Haonian almost disarmed and surrendered, the two of them looked at each other like thieves, and tasted the fun of sneaking, Song Haonian couldn't help but continue.

Lily gritted her teeth and restrained herself, squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth: "I haven't gotten up yet" and the words behind it were eaten into his throat.

Lamei came to her senses outside the door, and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast with a red face, because she was so embarrassed that she almost stumbled over the kitchen threshold.

On the third pole of the day, the little couple was still lying in the quilt with their faces snuggled, and Lily whispered to Song Haonian: "The clothes are cold." ”

Song Haonian reluctantly incense her face twice, got up in her clothes, and took the lily's clothes to the brazier to warm up, "It's warm now." ”

Lily got up and wanted to dress herself, but Song Haonian held her down again: "I'll come." ”

She is like a little doll, just stretch out her hands and feet, everything is properly arranged by Song Haonian.

When the two of them walked out of the room, Lamei was already having breakfast for the second time, and when she saw the eldest sister coming out with all her beards and tails, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Eat quickly." ”

The little girl still didn't understand what it was like for husband and wife to get along, and she faintly felt that the little movement she heard in the morning was a good thing, and she was afraid that it was her brother-in-law who was scolding the eldest sister, otherwise why would her voice be out of tune?

At this time, seeing Lily's face radiant and radiant, without the slightest appearance of being wronged, Lamei was really relieved.

From the twenty-third year to the young age, there is no need to work to make money, or do some needlework at home, or around the brazier to keep warm, which is a rare leisure time of the year for farmers.

Lily added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, put it under the salt-free to disperse the smoke, and when it was hot, she carried it into the house, and beckoned Song Haonian and Lamei: "Come and bake the fire." ”

Lamei Dingding didn't like to come to them at this time, and always felt that she had to see too much, so she said, "I'll go find the second sister." ”

She had a good relationship with Song Ermei, and Lily was very happy to see that she had her own friends, so she asked her to bring a few pieces of osmanthus cake: "Give the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister a taste." When you go, remember to tell the eldest brother, the second brother, and Xiaofu that your brother-in-law's birthday is today, and you will have time to eat in the evening. ”

Lamei went out, the little couple was roasting around the brazier, Lily was accepting a pair of insoles, looking at the size Song Haonian knew that it was not his own, and it didn't look like Lily would wear it himself, "For Lamei?

He remembered that his sister-in-law didn't seem to have such big feet.

Lily chuckled, "For the green pine." ”

Song Haonian then remembered that he had a brother-in-law who was rarely seen, a little boy in his teens who was not tall, but had a pair of big feet, which were bigger than Lamei's feet.

The insoles are embroidered with a few bushes of orchids, and the white background is lined with green threads, which is very bright. Song Haonian was a little jealous and said, "Daughter-in-law, why don't you make me an insoles?"

Lily put down the needle and thread and looked at him curiously: "You still compete with a child?"

It's rare for this big man to be coquettish, and it's really fun.

Song Haonian was a little embarrassed, twisted it, and became arrogant again: "You are my daughter-in-law, Qingsong wants to wear it, ask his daughter-in-law to make it for him!"

How old is Qingsong, and he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to marry his daughter-in-law?

Lily made a fuss about this person, walked to the side of the bed and lifted the mattress: "It's not yours?"

There are three or four pairs of insoles neatly placed on the bed board, embroidered more carefully than Qingsong's pair, and exquisite, now Song Haonian is satisfied: "You treat me well!"

After being satisfied, he began to feel sorry for Lily again: "What are you doing so much needlework, do a little less, and be dizzy carefully." ”

After bowing his head for a long time, it is indeed not very good for the cervical spine and eyes, so Lily supported him: "I see that you also brought back hairy chestnuts, go and get some, let's roast chestnuts and eat." Song Haonian took a handful of hairy chestnuts and put them on the table, and Lily put away the needlework and tongs. A small opening on the chestnut is Song Haonian's work buried in the brazier, covered with high-temperature charcoal, and after a while, you can hear the sound of "poof", it is the chestnut that is cracking,

The sweet scent is slowly coming out.

Lily's fingers are thin and white, and if it weren't for the rough palms, they don't look like a peasant woman's hands, but like a young lady who is literate and pinching a pen.

Song Haonian watched Lily flexibly stir up the fire, and his heart began to itch again, holding her hand and rubbing it a few times, choking the tips of his fingers and licking her nails.

Lily struggled slightly: "Don't make trouble. ”

He didn't stop, kissing all the way from the tips of his fingers to the back of his hand to his wrist, his wrist was also thin and white, and he had to roll up his sleeves, and suddenly there was a "pop", a chestnut exploded, and both of them were startled, and they temporarily rested their intimate thoughts.

The chestnuts are roasted, turned out of the ash heap, blown off the floating ash and eaten. Lily has less strength in his hands and is difficult to peel, Song Haonian quickly peeled several of them, did not eat them himself, and fed them to Lily one by one.

The roasted chestnuts are piping hot, and they can be tasted after a few rolls in the mouth, with a rich sweetness and a long aftertaste. Lily squinted and looked up pleasantly: "You can eat it too." ”

"You eat first, I'll talk about it later. "Song Haonian is feeding the lily happily, and it doesn't matter if he eats it or not.

At noon, Lamei came back and said: "I have told Brother Liu Yi, Brother Dagui, Brother Sanping, Brother Wuping, Brother Ping'an, and Brother Xiaofu, and I will come to the birthday banquet in the morning." ”

As soon as she said it, she was a string of "brothers", which made Lily laugh.

"Where is the birthday banquet," Song Haonian muttered quietly, "Just do whatever you want." ”

Lily didn't want to have a birthday banquet at home, her plan was to get Song Haonian's righteous brothers together a year ago, and everyone would be fragrant and fragrant.

Among the things that Song Haonian brought back this time, there were sheep and a few fish.

Mutton is delicious, but it is easy to smell if it is not done well, and ordinary people can neither afford to eat it, nor are they willing to make mutton. Fish is the most fishy thing, with many spines and no oil and water, and people in the countryside regard fat meat as a treasure, and they are reluctant to eat fish until they have to.

The combination of these two fishy things is a "fresh" word fish and sheep fresh.

Lily asked Song Haonian to break open a cavity of sheep, take out the ribs and chop them, and wash them with water.

The fish has been washed and dried with salt for a few days, although it is not very fresh, it is better than nothing. Scrape off the remaining fish scales, rinse the internal dirt, wash until the fish is white and tender, without a trace of blood, and chop it into pieces of meat similar to the size of mutton.

Blanch the lamb in hot water to remove the blood. Put oil in a pot, heat it with ginger slices, pour the fish into it and fry it until it is slightly yellowed on both sides, add water, green onion knots, and Sichuan peppercorns and cook together.

After the water boils, pour in the lamb pieces, first bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat, and keep the soup clean and milky white while cooking.

Lamei sniffled and disgusted when the lily was rectifying the fish: "It smells so bad!" At this time, she inhaled while burning the fire, "Why is it so fragrant!"

Lily sent her to the cellar to open a jar sealed with yellow mud, take out a few more apples, pears, and pomegranates saved before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and by the way, bring out a few sweet potatoes to make silk sweet potatoes.

Lamei ran to fetch the fruit, Song Haonian came over to give Lily Dao a hard time, and told her not to bother too much, her own brother, don't pay attention to this.

Lily said: "Then it's your own brother, you must have the number of courtesies, if you go to the eldest brother's house, Sister Caifeng will give you leftovers, what do you think?"

Li Caifeng is a shrewd person, she has never done anything rude, she gets along well with her brothers, Lily can't be too far behind her, with her guidance, the etiquette is also good.

Lamei is much more awake now, Lily only told her about fruits and sweet potatoes, and she took it upon herself to bring out two cabbages: "If you want to make vegetables, just one sweet potato is definitely not enough, so let's add another cabbage." ”

Lily praised her casually: "That's it, how much trouble you saved me!"

After receiving the affirmation, Lamei happily cut the sweet potatoes and soaked them in water, and washed the cabbage and cut them into thin strips one finger wide so that they could be stir-fried later.

When the brothers came one after another with gifts, Lily had already asked Song Haonian to go to the neighbor's house to borrow a big table and a dozen bowls. The men sat at one table and drank, and the women arranged another table. The steaming fish and sheep are freshly placed on the table, the soup is milky white, the aroma is rich, and a few tender green onions float on it. A plate full of fried cabbage with oil residue is the solid weight of the countryman. Crack the whole egg into warm oil and fry it until it is fluffy and soft, sprinkle with salt and peppercorns, and again

A dish that makes the mouth water.

White rice is served in a wooden basin, and everyone can eat it as they wish. If you don't want to eat rice, you can choose pumpkin sweet potato cake or vegetarian stuffed buns brought by Li Caifeng from home.

Sweet potatoes must be eaten while they are hot, and finally on the table, Lily takes off her apron and beckons everyone to eat, and on the man's table over there, Song Haonian holds up the wine glass and thanks the brothers for coming to celebrate his birthday.

For the second glass of wine, he crossed the table and saluted Lily: "Daughter-in-law, without you, I would not be where I am today, you treat me well, and I remember every penny." Li Caifeng and the eldest sister-in-law coaxed Lily to drink, Lily's face was red, and before she could drink, she was already drunk.
