Zhao Yunlan gave out the New Year's gifts a year ago, and the day was in the blink of an eye to the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

This year, there is one more person in the Li family, and it seems to be more lively than in previous years. Zhao Yunlan asked the opinions of a large family, and decided to cook mutton hot pot for the reunion dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Wu Yi hadn't eaten hot pot at Li's house before, so the novelty was not good.

Zhao Yunlan was boiling hot pot soup, and Wu Yi followed alongside her. Zhao Yunlan actually wants to eat beef hot pot, but the people who can buy beef in this dynasty are either rich or expensive, after all, they are ploughing cattle, in this era of small-scale peasant economy, cattle are not only regulated, but even all the pillars of a family.

Zhao Yunlan still had a fluke mentality and asked Wu Yi: "Brother and sister, do you know where to buy beef?" ”

Wu Yi thought he hadn't heard clearly, and asked repeatedly, "Beef?" I was shocked that this peasant girl was so bold that she could even think about eating beef. No wonder my father would choose to cooperate with my sister-in-law.

Moreover, in the environment of the Li family, the father-in-law is so attentive to the cow, and the rest of the Li family also takes good care of the cow at home, and the sister-in-law will also come up with the idea of eating beef, this woman is really different from other peasant women.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Wu Yi and was stunned for a while, and shouted: "Sister Yi, brother and sister, it's beef!" I'm just asking, if you can't buy it, forget it? "I thought I was out of luck.

Wu Yi came back to his senses: "Ah~ sister-in-law, it's not that I can't buy it, I also ate beef at my mother's house before, but the beef was sent by the eldest brother from Fucheng, and I have to ask my father and eldest brother about this place where beef is sold." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded and didn't continue to ask. Seeing that the soup in the pot was boiling, it was poured into the small pot, and Li Mingyi came over and brought the pot to the small stove in the middle of the table.

Zhao Yunlan continued to take Li Mingmei and Wu Yi to prepare the dishes together, and Sister-in-law Xia worked beside her.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, how about I rub this ball?"

Zhao Yunlan: "It's good, Xiaobao can also take one bite at a time." ”

Wu Yi: "Well, I also prefer small balls. ”

Zhao Yunlan silently wrote it down. This reminded Zhao Yunlan of some small problems to pay attention to when preparing a restaurant and preparing food.

"Alright, let's bring the food over! Xianggong, go and call your father and mother to eat! Zhao Yunlan was shouting Li Mingren, and Li Mingli and Li Mingming also came to the kitchen.

Li Mingren: "Why don't you usually see your brothers, but you come out at dinner!" ”

Li Mingming: "Hehe, sister-in-law, our brothers and sons will serve the food, you go to the dining hall and sit first!" ”

The family sat at the dinner table, and Li Mingyi whispered to Wu Yi: "Sister-in-law, the taste of this hot pot soup base is good, and the mutton shabu is simply a must, you can taste it more later!" ”

Wu Yi nodded.

Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan: "Yunlan, do you have anything to say?" ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "This year is a bumper harvest for our family, whether it is the crops in the field or the studies of Xianggong, of course, more importantly, we have one more family member, I just hope that we can get better and better in the coming year." ”

Li Mingmei echoed: "Well, we will definitely get better and better!" ”

Wang smiled and said, "Then let's eat!" ”

In the evening, it was another full meal, and after eating, the family sat in the hall to watch the New Year together, and in order to relieve the boredom, Zhao Yunlan also got the backgammon out.

Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingren to draw a backgammon chessboard, and then went to choose some small stones of similar size that Xiaobao picked up home on weekdays to make chess pieces. Some of them are dotted with ink as sunspots, and the other part is white.

Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan played a few handfuls, which was very interesting, and Li Mingyi and Wu Yi watched from the side and wanted to end the game.

Li Mingyi: "Big brother, you can't keep occupying the chessboard?" ”

Li Mingren was fascinated and dared to say: "Your sister-in-law still occupies the chessboard?" ”

Li Mingmei is a loyal fan of Zhao Yunlan: "Sister-in-law wins you every time!" ”

Zhao Yunlan pulled Li Mingren's ears, the Wang family and Old Man Li were already surprised!

"Let's play Win or Lose now! If you lose, go down and come up with another person! Zhao Yunlan set the rules of the game.

Li Mingyi squeezed Li Mingren away, but everyone was a first-time player, and they didn't know Zhao Yunlan's tricks, so they couldn't replace the next person in a quarter of an hour.

In this game, it was the third child's turn to play, Li Mingli still wanted to use delaying tactics, Zhao Yunlan was not in a hurry, but Li Mingmei couldn't wait, and urged Li Mingli. This time, the third child buckled his head, and he had no regrets in a panic, and finally he could only replace Li Mingmei.

Li Mingzhi originally took Xiaobao and Ye Sheng to play with firecrackers outside, but when he saw that the room was exclaiming for a while, he was clapping his hands for a while, and he was curious, so he came in with Xiaobao.

"Old Five, how can you make this move?" Li Mingming watched Li Mingmei play chess from the side, and was annoyed for Li Mingmei.

"Fourth, shut up, I don't know how to get noisy!" Li Mingmei shouted.

Li Mingming: "Stupid is not allowed to be said!" ”

The brother and sister quarreled back and forth, and the family had a headache, but Wang said: "Okay, little sister, if you let the fourth child play with your sister-in-law for a while, maybe it's worse than you!" ”

Li Mingmei: "Hmph~"

Li Zhizhi also: "Hmph~"

Li Mingzhi and Zhao Yunlan faced each other, Zhao Yunlan was a little sleepy at this time, she had been playing chess, she had spent too much energy, and she had been winning, which caused Zhao Yunlan to relax and let Li Mingzhi take advantage of the loophole if she didn't pay attention. Just when Li Mingmei was about to cheer Li Mingming was one step away from winning, Zhao Yunlan found a way to survive and turned the situation around, and finally won the game.

Li Mingming and Li Mingmei both sighed, and Li Mingmei said: "Fourth, it's okay, you're better than us!" ”

Li Mingming patted Li Mingmei on the shoulder.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the brother and sister quarreling because of a game of chess and reconciled because of a game of chess, shaking her head and smiling.

"You guys come to play, I'll take Xiaobao to play for a while!"

Zhao Yunlan gave up her position, Xiaobao wanted to participate, but several adults wanted to occupy the chessboard. Zhao Yunlan looked at Xiaobao with a look of wanting to cry, and made a chessboard again.

Zhao Yunlan: "Mother will play with you!" ”

Xiaobao happily held the pen, because there were not many stones, Zhao Yunlan took two pens, one drew a circle and the other drew a triangle, although Zhao Yunlan did not let Xiaobao, but the mother and son had a lot of fun.

Li Mingzhi suddenly said: "This game must be liked by students, right?" Eldest brother! ”

Li Mingren nodded: "Indeed!" ”

Li Mingyi: "Why don't we make more to sell?" Sister-in-law, what do you think? ”

Zhao Yunlan's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that the brothers of the Li family are very good now!

Instead, Li Mingli picked at his brain and asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you come up with this game?" ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at everyone incomprehensibly and said, "Read more!" ”

Zhao Yunlan continued to listen to Li Mingyi talk about the topic of selling backgammon, the New Year came in the family's conversation and laughter, with backgammon, Xiaobao didn't fall asleep this year!
