After eating, Yan Xie Cheng took Yu Li and the child back to the courtyard, after all, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family has to be cleaned up, and Yu's father and mother did not stop them, just let them take the children over to see when they are free.

When he got home, Yan Jiecheng changed his new clothes, afraid that he would get dirty when he was cleaning.

sent the two children to Yan Bugui's house, Yan Bugui and their school holidays were early, and the three mothers and the two students cleaned up their homes early, and they had nothing to do to help watch the children.

As soon as Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li finished cleaning up the house, it was snowing heavily, and the two children were running around in the yard shouting to build a snowman.

Yu Li was angry and walked over to give them a look, and the two little ghosts came back to the house obediently, Yan Xie looked at Yu Li adoringly in the back, and he still had to let his sister-in-law take action to deal with these two children.

It was still snowing heavily on this cold day, and Yan Jiecheng was too lazy to cook, so he took out the copper pot that he had bought from the thrift market a few days ago.

The most suitable thing to eat in this weather is hot pot, let Yu Li clean the pot, Yan Jiecheng started to fry a hot pot base, and there is no place to buy hot pot base in this era, and you have to make the base material yourself if you want to eat hot pot.

Prepare green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, Sichuan pepper, dried chili, and take out a bottle of bean paste from the cabinet. First pour the oil into the pot and heat it, then put the peppercorns and star anise dried chili peppers in it and fry it, then the bean paste, burn the red oil and put the green onions, ginger and garlic into it, and the fragrance will come up.

The two children, who were standing at the door watching the snow, stopped looking at it and ran in frantically.

"Dad, what are you going to eat, give me a taste."

Yan Jiecheng was afraid that the two children would eat the base ingredient and hurriedly said, "This is a seasoning, you can't eat it." Don't move around and go play with your sister-in-law. ”

"Dad, you can't steal it."

"Got it, I'm sure I'll call you two back when we eat, let's go." Yan Jiecheng said speechlessly.

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's assurance, the two ran out to play with Yan Xie again.

Yan Jiecheng fried the base and put it aside, went out to the cellar and got a few cabbages and potatoes, two pieces of tofu, and a pound of mutton.

This pound of meat is definitely not enough for their family of four to eat, so there is no way to put more vegetables at that time, it will be almost the same as eating some steamed buns, this mutton is not easy to buy, just this catty, Yan Jiecheng got up early in the morning and went to the vegetable market to queue up to buy it.

After washing the vegetables, the potatoes and mutton are cut into slices, and the tofu is cut into small pieces.

Take the copper pot that Yu Li had washed and put it on the table, put the base material in it, add water, put charcoal under it and light the fire.

Yu Li went to call the two little guys, and Yan Xie Jian also called over.

A few people sat down, and Yan Xie Chengcheng began to put the dishes in the pot.

The two little guys were also eating hot pot for the first time, and they shouted happily, holding the fast child in their hands and stretching it into the pot.

"Don't move, wait, Dad will clip you home." Yan Jiecheng looked at it for fear of burning the two of them, so he hurriedly stopped her. After saying that, he took out the potato chips and cabbage from the pot and put them in their small bowls. There is also 28 sauce in the bowl as a seasoning, that is, peanuts and sesame seeds are mixed according to the ratio of 28, and they usually put a cold dish or something at home.

The five of them ate all the dishes that Yan Jiecheng took out.

After eating, Yu Li cleaned up the table, Yan Jiecheng took out the tea leaves given by Yu's mother today and made a pot of tea for himself, and the two children also let Yan Xie fall asleep and were carried into the hut by Yu Li.

………

The next day, when Yan Jiecheng got up, there were still snowflakes in the sky, and it had been raining all night without stopping, and it looked like this was going to rain until next year.

After washing up, I took out the leftover hot pot soup from yesterday and took out the next handful of noodles, and boiled two eggs for the two children.

As soon as the family finished breakfast, an uncle came over and wanted to organize people in the courtyard to clear the snow, and there was one person from each family.

Yan Jiecheng thought about it and didn't say much, so he followed the master out with a broom.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw Silly Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiefang...... It's all there.

One of the three uncles came out with tools to remove snow with everyone, not that he wanted to work, but there was no one in her family, if he didn't come, he couldn't let an aunt come.

"Hey, who do you see? How did you get into our hospital? ”

"It looks a little familiar, who is this?"

"Look at you two, don't you know? Isn't this the boss of the second master's family? ”

Yan Jiecheng also looked up when he heard everyone's discussions, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Guangqi.

How many years has this guy been since he got married and went to the third line, how can he think about coming back today.

Liu Guangtian was stunned when he looked at the eldest brother who was holding the child and pulling his daughter-in-law, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to tell Liu Haizhong the news.

Uncle Yi looked at Liu Guangqi standing at the door and walked over and chatted with him.

After a while, the second uncle and the second aunt ran over from the backyard, and the second uncle gave Liu Guangqi a punch when they met. The second aunt hurriedly pulled the second uncle to persuade him.

The second uncle actually doesn't really want to beat the boss, he really can't save face, the boss ran away without saying a word after getting married, and if he doesn't react when he comes back this time, then he won't let the neighbors in the yard laugh at it.

The second aunt said a few words, and the second uncle borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, stopped, and didn't speak with a straight face. looked at where the second aunt was pulling the boss to ask for warmth.

The second uncle looked at the little girl in the arms of the eldest daughter-in-law and smiled at her. Although the second uncle is also patriarchal, this is the first child of his old Liu family after all, and he is still the child of the old family who has not seen each other for so many years.

The second uncle wanted to go over and bring the child over, but he was afraid that it would affect his image. Standing there motionless with his hands behind his back is like leading the inspection work, not to mention that it is really a bit similar in terms of temperament.

"Okay, Lao Liu, your eldest is also back, hurry up and go home, there are still children, don't freeze the children on this cold day." Uncle Yi saw the bangs and his family standing at the door, and he was unspeakably envious in his heart, so he hurriedly asked their family to go back, out of sight and out of mind. This is always dangling in front of his eyes, isn't this angry himself.

The second uncle reacted and didn't pretend, so he hurriedly pulled the boss and walked to the backyard, for fear that his baby granddaughter would freeze for a while.

Everyone cleared the snow from the compound and went back. Yan Bugui set out his own table and began to give people this couplet.

Uncle Yi and Silly Zhu's family died this year, and there was nothing at home during the New Year. In this way, Yan Bugui was disappointed, and he had to make a lot of money less.

Although the first uncle's family didn't post it, he still enthusiastically bought a pair and posted it on the door of the compound, which made Yan Bugui a lot happy.
