Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Wang is afraid that this day is too hurried, so he thinks that he will continue to do Li Mingyi's family affairs after the year, after all, there are still some processes that have not been completed, and he is too hasty to worry that things will not be handled well. After the friendly negotiation between the two sides, Zhao Yunlan was busy waiting for the New Year.

This is the first time to celebrate the New Year here, Li Zhizhi bought a lot of firecrackers from Zhenshan and came back, Zhao Yunlan remembered her modern parents, I don't know if they are also thinking about themselves. Think about it when I was a child in modern times, my father quietly bought fireworks and planned to take him to find a suburb to set them off, but before they were released, they were reported by neighbors who had quarrels, and the fireworks were strangled in the cradle before they started, and my father was taken to educate them. Zhao Yunlan's mother laughed for several days, although it was not set off into fireworks, but Zhao Yunlan also felt that those days were very happy. It's just later, hey~

"Mother, we're going to set off firecrackers!" Xiaobao came over and shouted Zhao Yunlan and pulled back Zhao Yunlan's thoughts. Zhao Yunlan looked at the cute and loving fat boy in front of her, and her heart was wrapped in warmth.

Li Mingren came back and took Zhao Yunlan's hand and picked up Xiaobao with one hand: "This kid has gained a lot of weight!" ”

Xiaobao: "Daddy, I'm not fat!" ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Okay, you're not fat, it's your father who can't." ”

Li Mingren snorted twice.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingming and planned to light the fire: "Didn't you say that you won't set off firecrackers until Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Li Mingren: "The fourth child wants to kill the New Year's pig today and set off a firecracker to celebrate." ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at Xiaobao seriously: "You can't light that firecracker yourself, that danger!" ”

Xiaobao nodded obediently: "Mother, I know, if you want to bang bang, your hands will hurt." ”

Zhao Yunlan rubbed Xiaobao's face: "It's really good." ”

Li Mingzhi lit the firecrackers, only listening to the crackling, although there was no modern fireworks, but as soon as the sound sounded, the atmosphere of the New Year in Lijia Village was ignited.

After the firecrackers were set off, Li Mingli invited Li Shishi to help kill the New Year pigs, and the people in the village volunteered to help, Zhao Yunlan thought about the etiquette of leaving, and killed the two pigs together. After killing the pig, Zhao Yunlan beckoned the villagers to eat the pig killing dish together, a village is happy, the table should be moved at home, the bowl should be taken home, Zhao Yunlan also added some wine to everyone, the atmosphere in the village was high, and the villagers also helped Zhao Yunlan clean up the yard after eating.

With the progress of Zhao Yunlan's family's New Year pigs, the families who raised pigs in the village have been killing New Year pigs from house to house, and Zhao Yunlan has been a little tired of eating pig killing rice in recent days. Li Mingzhi said beside him: "Sure enough, my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is good, and if I continue to eat like this, I'm afraid I'll lose interest in pork!" ”

Old man Li: "I think you have only eaten rice for a few days and forgotten the hard days!" ”

Li Mingming silently closed his mouth.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Xianggong, third brother, after a while, you go to the town to deliver pork to the Liu family and the Wu shopkeeper, and let Mingyi close the shop and come back!" ”

Li Mingren nodded.

After eating the pig-killing meal that day, Zhao Yunlan divided the pork that was kept into four parts, one each from the town and the Liu family, one from her mother's side, and one for her own family.

Zhao Yunlan divided her own pork and made some bacon and sausages. Wang looked at the meat hanging under the eaves, and was happy to be so rich this year.

The day is lively and lively to the Chinese New Year's Eve, on this day the Li family and the whole family are busy with work, today is the last day of the year, the family will have a happy reunion dinner.

Zhao Yunlan had already prepared a fish, after all, the New Year would have more than enough every year. It's just that there are not many fish in winter, and Li Mingyi went to the county seat for a long time to buy them.

Zhao Yunlan drew up a menu for a reunion dinner, sweet and sour fish, roasted chicken with fungus, pork tofu, stewed pig's trotters with wild mountain mushrooms, and braised pork head. This marinade was tried by Zhao Yunlan little by little, with the help of the tea egg package, the tea was removed and the recipe was changed, and it was modulated a few more times, and it felt almost the same, barely a simple version of the marinade. Although the taste is not as good as that of modern small shops that make lo-mei, the taste is definitely enough here.

In fact, Zhao Yunlan is also planning in advance to open a restaurant in the future, this restaurant is definitely going to open, in addition to making money, of course, it is to satisfy her appetite!

As soon as the smell of braised pig's head meat came out, everyone in the Li family came around, and even the Wang family, who was able to stabilize to the end on weekdays, followed this time. Zhao Yunlan looked at everyone with a smile: "Incense!" Isn't it more fragrant than tea eggs! ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingyi: "Second brother, hurry up and hand over to me a copy of your plan for opening a restaurant after the New Year, and the dishes in my restaurant are prepared one by one." ”

Li Mingyi nodded, smelling the strong fragrance, looking at the dishes piled up in the kitchen, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

Zhao Yunlan is almost ready here, and then she starts to serve, almost all the dishes on this table are big meat dishes, looking at the sweet and sour fish Li The old man sighed, how much oil does this have to waste! Now that the Li family is in such a good situation, Old Man Li is in a trance.

The family waited for Wang and Mr. Li to talk, Wang just sighed again and again, there seemed to be some tears in his eyes, and Old Man Li was speechless, who would have thought that at the beginning of this year, the family had a difficult life to sell their land, and at the end of the year, they were eating big fish and meat.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the second elder and didn't speak, so she had to say: "Everyone has worked hard in the past year, this is our starting point, and then we will continue to work hard for a better life." ”

The family was in the mood, and Li Mingren clapped his hands: "Okay! "Disrupted the atmosphere.

Old man Li and the Wang family cast their eyes one after another.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Let's eat, it's not delicious when it's cold!" ”

Li Mingming: "Sister-in-law, the dishes you cook are delicious even if they are cold!" ”

Everyone nodded approvingly.

After eating, everyone Li Mingyi and the brothers took Xiaobao to play with firecrackers in the yard, and Zhao Yunlan, Li Mingren and Li Mingmei accompanied Wang and Old Man Li to keep watch in the house. Xiaobao was tired of playing, his eyes were sleepy and narrowed, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingren to take Xiaobao back to the house to sleep, Xiaobao said that he would not go back, so he would accompany him to keep the New Year.

Finally ushered in the new year, Zhao Yunlan said a few New Year's greetings, and everyone went back to the room to sleep. At this time, Xiaobao was already asleep, and Li Mingren carried Xiaobao's family of three back to the house.

Li Mingren took off his clothes for Xiaobao and gently put it in the quilt, Zhao Yunlan came over after washing and saw this warm scene, her heart was warm, and she kissed Li Mingren on the cheek unexpectedly, and Li Mingren was stunned on the spot. Zhao Yunlan didn't care how turbulent Li Mingren's heart was at the moment, climbed into bed and hugged Xiaobao and fell asleep after a while.

Li Mingren lay on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep for a long time. Next to him, Zhao Yunlan and Xiaobao didn't know how many dreams they had had.
