Jiang Xiaobai returned to Jiangwan, the door of the house was open, and there was no one to be seen.

"Whoa!"

Jiang Shi's cry sounded, and Wang Xiuju walked out of the stove house with wet hands.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai came back, he said in surprise: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said casually: "Mom, I invited some colleagues to come to my house for dinner in the afternoon, and I came back in advance to prepare." ”

Hearing that there was a guest at home in the afternoon, Wang Xiuju said happily: "That's good, when I finish the mash, I'll go to the bay to pick some vegetables and come back." ”

While talking, he said to Feng Yanhong and Wang Gang: "Yanhong, Xiaogang, you are also here, come into the house and do it, pour your own tea, I can't leave here." ”

"Third aunt and grandmother!"

Wang Gang screamed affectionately.

Feng Yanhong said: "Third father, you are busy with you, we pour tea ourselves." ”

Wang Xiuju said with a smile: "That's it, when you come to the third father's house, you treat it as your own family, why didn't Ping Ping come?" ”

Feng Yanhong said: "He will come with other colleagues in a while." ”

Wang Xiuju let out an "oh" and asked Jiang Xiaobai again: "Are there many people coming?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "More than ten or twenty people." ”

Wang Xiuju was shocked for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to pull some food back." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, looked at his father and Jiang Ting, and asked, "What about Dad and Tingting?" They're not at home? ”

Wang Xiuju said: "Your father took Tingting to your uncle's house, and he was making tofu today." ”

In the 80s and 90s, before the Chinese New Year, every household made glutinous rice cakes and rice cakes to prepare snacks. After all, there were relatively few snacks in those days.

Moreover, some families are relatively poor, and they do not make a fortune.

But beating tofu is a must.

After beating the tofu, you will generally leave some fresh tofu for cooking, such as mapo tofu, tofu stir-fried meat, or hot pot.

Some tofu fruits will also be fried, which is especially delicious when another dish, mainly under the hot pot, stewed hoof.

Of course, filtered okara is also a dish.

It can be said that you can get several dishes by beating tofu once. This can be said to be both economical and affordable in the era when dishes are relatively scarce.

"Grandma, grandpa went to grandpa's house, then I have to watch them make tofu."

Jiang Shan said excitedly.

Children, they always like to be lively.

Wang Xiuju said: "Xiaogang is here, you will play with Xiaogang at home, when can't you go to grandpa's house?" ”

If it were an ordinary child, he would definitely be obedient, but Jiang Shan smiled: "Grandma, I can take Xiaogang's younger brother with me." ”

said to Wang Gang: "Brother Xiaogang, do you want to go and see tofu!" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Gang replied without thinking.

Jiang Shan blinked her eyes slyly and said with a smile: "Grandma, look, Brother Xiaogang wants to go." ”

Wang Xiuju said angrily: "Obviously, you want to go yourself, what kind of cover do you use Xiaogang for?" He sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, you can go if you want." ”

"Yay!"

Jiang Shan jumped up happily.

"Baba, Ma Ma, I took my brother Xiaogang to grandpa's house!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Go ahead!" ”

Wang Gang also said to Feng Yanhong: "Mom, then I'll go play with Sister Shanshan." ”

Feng Yanhong said: "Okay, you go, go and see the grandfather, they want to call someone." ”

"Well, I know!"

Wang Gang said obediently, and happily took Jiang Shan's hand, "Sister Shanshan, let's go!" ”

The two little ones held hands and trotted out of the house.

"Slow down!"

"Be careful not to fall!"

Wang Xiuju looked at the backs of the two and said loudly.

The two little ones had already run out of the door.

No response.

"Adults are just verbose, they really treat us like children!" Jiang Shan said with a smile.

Wang Gang nodded, and said, "But we are children!" ”

Jiang Shan Gege smiled: "With such a smooth road, how could we fall." ”

"That's right!" Wang Gang said.

The two descended the stone steps and walked along the main road, chatting affectionately as they walked.

Wang Gang said: "I set off fireworks here last time, and I want to see fireworks again." ”

Jiang Shan folded her fingers and counted: "Today twenty-eight, tomorrow twenty-nine, the day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the day after tomorrow you can set off fireworks again." ”

Wang Gang pouted: "But the day after tomorrow, I'm not here." The little face was full of regret.

Jiang Shan said: "You ask your cousin to buy more fireworks, anyway, your family is not short of money now." ”

"Hmm!" Wang Gang nodded: "However, you have to tell my mother to buy things, my family is not like your family, my family's money is controlled by my mother, and my father has no money." ”

Jiang Shan said: "Then tell the cousin." ”

Wang Gang said: "My mother is not as good as my father. ”

Jiang Shan said: "Then you ask Uncle Cousin to call Uncle Huang and ask him to send a car directly to your house, everything is delivered, and Cousin will definitely give money." ”

Wang Gang's eyes lit up and he felt that this was really a good idea.

However, he was a little worried and asked, "Will Uncle Huang send it?" ”

Jiang Shan said: "Definitely, I just called Uncle Huang to ask him to deliver it." ”

Wang Gang let out an "oh", "Then when my father comes, I'll ask him to call Uncle Huang from your phone." ”

"Okay!"

The two little ones had already walked to the village activity center while talking.

It's usually very lively here, and every day there are military cards here to load out-of-season vegetables. But today it's deserted.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the sales of out-of-season vegetables have stopped, and the sales will start on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The two little guys continued to walk up the mountain, the bluestone slab path in the past has now been built into a cement road, in addition to the original old houses on both sides, a new style of small courtyard buildings have been built, which looks new and beautiful.

"Your Jiangwan has really changed a lot now!"

Wang Gang looked at the new-style small courtyard buildings and the greenhouses in the fields, and said with emotion.

"That's it!"

Jiang Shan's little face showed pride, and said, "The uncles, aunts, aunts, grandparents in the bay all said that I made them rich. ”

Wang Gang nodded: "Uncle Cousin is amazing!" ”

Jiang Shan pointed to the new-style courtyard buildings and said, "You see, some families have already moved in, and they are all in new houses for the New Year this year. ”

Wang Gang said: "So many people have moved into a new house, so you haven't eaten a lot of banquets!" ”

In rural areas, moving to a new house will generally result in the whole wine.

Jiang Shan shook her head: "Not yet, no one in the bay has been drinking during this time." But next year, I guess a lot of people will be setting up a drink, and then I will be able to eat! ”

Children are very eager to eat at the table.

Not only is there a lot of food to eat, but more importantly, it's lively.
