Chapter 300: Red Envelopes
Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the afternoon, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang ended the business of the fried chicken restaurant early, and returned to their hometown with Lan Xiuming, who was on duty until the last day.
When the three of them arrived home, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Lan family, steamed buns and steamed buns were steamed on the open-air stove, and croquettes and stewed meat were in the kitchen.
In addition, the two legs of lamb are cleaned up, the thighs are marinated, and they are waiting for the barbecue in the evening, and the bones are kicked down and put away, and the bone broth that warms the stomach is cooked tomorrow morning.
Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn't expect that when they were away, they would be so well prepared at home.
Of course, Lan Shu is responsible for buying, buying, and commanding, and the main people who do the work are the two brothers Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo.
The two big men understood the kitchen set, and they didn't even give Tang Chu, the new daughter-in-law who married into the Lan family, a chance to perform!
In the evening, a family of seven gathered around a table with a large pot of stewed meat, four buckle bowls around it, two plates of roast lamb shank, and a fried chicken sold in their own store.
There are also radish and cabbage, which are all side dishes in the stew pot, and the amount is not much.
These things are enough for the family to eat well and well.
In addition to eating, Lan Shu also prepared something to drink.
When eating meat, each person has a cup of sour plum soup in front of them, which is delicious and greasy.
Ume and hawthorn are preserved fruits brought back from Kyoto by Lan Shu, and when boiled with rock sugar, they taste good.
After eating, there was no entertainment at home, and it was quite cold outside, so everyone went back to their rooms.
When she got to the house, Lan Shu had time to look at the news on the pager.
The messages on the pager can be kept up to ten, so Lan Shu started to look at them from back to front.
- 'Lan Shu, have you eaten?' ’
- 'We have a family of three, six dishes and two soups. ’
- 'It's a pity that you didn't spend time in Kyoto this year. ’
- 'It's snowing again in Kyoto. ’
- 'The compound is full of white. ’
- 'The snow is beautiful. ’
- 'Is it snowing in your place?' ’
The news ended here, Lan Shu finished reading it, and subconsciously looked up at the window.
It was moonlit outside, and there was no sign of snow except for the cold.
So Lan Shu used a pager to call the signal station and sent a message to Xiaobai.
"There's no snow here." She said.
When the words fell, the hazy moonlight was reflected outside the window, and there were white flocculents floating and falling.
"It's snowing?" Lan Shu was stunned, and then she put down the pager in her hand, opened the door and walked out of the room.
The cool air outside the door instantly poured into the neckline and cuffs, and the face was full of coldness.
But the snowflakes in the sky made Lan Shu feel a sense of novelty and joy in her heart-
This is the second New Year she has spent in this world.
During the first Chinese New Year, she came to this world not long ago, although she had family and friends, and some expectations for the future, her sense of belonging was not strong after all.
And now, she's been here for more than a year.
Looking back, this experience was much more profound than she had imagined.
"It's snowing!" In the courtyard, Lan Sibo came out of the room at some point, and he looked up at the snowflakes fluttering in the air with a smile on his face.
Hearing Lan Sibo's voice, the rest of the family also came out of the room one after another.
Lan Xiuming looked at the sky and stretched out his hand to let the snowflakes fall on his fingertips.
Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang also stood together, watching the falling snow.
"Ruixue Zhaofeng year~" Lan Shengli said with emotion.
On the side, Chang Chunfang took over, "I hope that next year's life will be better and better~"
Beside the two, Lan Dazhuang also walked out of the room with Tang Chu.
Looking at the snow falling from the sky, Lan Dazhuang also said with feeling, "I hope there will be a good harvest in the field next year." ”
…
Because of the snow, that night, Lan Shu sent another message back to Xiaobai.
- 'It's snowing. ’
Xiaobai might have been busy over there, so Lan Shu didn't get an immediate reply.
Just waited until twelve o'clock, when the new year came, Lan Shu, who was already lying asleep in the bed, faintly heard the sound of the pager in the room.
It was a newly received message.
From Kyoto, a message from Xiaobai.
- 'Happy New Year, Lan Shu. ’
At this time, Xiaobai, who was far away in Kyoto, was sitting on the windowsill of his room, even though it was already late at night, but he did not fall asleep.
Xiaobai looked at the bright moon in the night, and thought, in the new year, he should be the first person to say good New Year to Lan Shu, right?
…
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
On the first day of the new year, Lan Shu didn't sleep lazy, and got up just after eight o'clock.
After wearing a thick cotton coat, Lan Shu first flipped through the messages on the pager, and saw the sentence of the little white hair, "Happy New Year." She smiled slightly, and then pushed the door open and walked out of the room.
At this time, except for her, everyone else in the family had already eaten, and there was lamb leg soup in the pot, and Lan Shu ate two big meat buns with the soup to make her stomach full.
In the new year, on this day, every household does not have to work.
Even Lan Dazhuang didn't go up the mountain to work, and the day before he added enough food to the free-range chicken farm.
Not long after Lan Shu finished eating, she saw her parents coming back from outside.
Seeing that she woke up, Chang Chunfang immediately took out a red envelope from her arms and stuffed it into her hand.
"Shushu, Happy New Year." Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang talked, and then outside the door, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming also came back from outside one after another.
When the two saw Xiaomei, as in previous years, each of them stuffed a red envelope into Lan Shu's hand.
"Happy New Year, little sister."
On this day, Lan Sibo's red envelopes will naturally not be less.
Although Lan Shu opened a factory, did business, and made the most money in the family, in the eyes of her parents and brothers, she was always the youngest child in the family, which made them want to love the little sister.
In addition to Lan Shu, the only two people in the family who can receive New Year's red envelopes are Tang Chu, who just married into the Lan family this year.
Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang treated them equally, and gave their daughter 500 New Year's money, and her daughter-in-law also paid 500 yuan.
When handing out red envelopes, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang still sighed a little.
A few months ago, where would they have had so much money to make red envelopes?
If it weren't for Shushu's idea to make them decide to leave the village and go out to do business, they wouldn't have been able to make so much money.
Although working outside is much more tiring than in the village, the joy of making money is something they have never experienced when they are at home.
So now, they have money, and they have the confidence to wrap a big red envelope for their children and daughter-in-law during the Chinese New Year.
Tang Chu received a red envelope of 500 yuan from the second elder during the Chinese New Year, and as a new daughter-in-law, she was really surprised.
With so much money, she was a little flustered when she held it in her hand, and she had a lot of worries in her heart, and even felt that her parents were wrong?
Fortunately, there is still Lan Dazhuang on the side.
Although Lan Dazhuang is five big and three thick, he is quite careful about his daughter-in-law, and he can see that his daughter-in-law is emotionally unstable, Lan Dazhuang reached out to hold his daughter-in-law's hand, and whispered beside her, "Parents gave it, just take it." ”
Happy New Year to all~
In the new year, I hope that the cuties can continue to support and vote more~
Preview it, there will be a break next month~
