The snow is falling in a hurry.

The ridge of the roof, the yard, and the trees have been covered with a layer of white.

The falling snow flutters around the lanterns, and the red lanterns sway gently in the wind, revealing the light that makes the snowy night seem to be dyed with warmth.

"Brother Ah Zhen, this lantern is so beautiful." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the lantern and said.

Combined, she had never seen such a beautiful lantern.

Ah Zhen looked at the lantern and tightened Xiao Fuyuan's hand.

At this time, the capital has already snowed heavily.

When he was a child, when the first snow had just fallen, he would make a fuss about hanging red lanterns of various shapes at the corners of the eaves, and he would dress up the whole temple as if it were a Shangyuan Festival.

The mother will order the palace people to hang all kinds of red lanterns of different shapes.

At night, my father would come by stepping on the snow, and he would pick up the snow with the palace people and step into his mother's palace.

The palace is warm, the mother will untie the father's fox fur with her own hands, hand the father a glass of warm wine, the father will cover the mother's hand and say that the capital is not as cold as the border, how did the mother get to the capital but it is getting colder.

The candles in the house burst and burst, and the house was full of plum blossoms.

After dinner, my father and mother would stand under the porch and watch the lights and enjoy the snow, while he would run into the snow and throw snowballs.

Sometimes, Dad would go down and stuff snowballs around his neck.

He shouted, the nurse on the side was very worried, and privately reminded his mother that his father would make him cold, and his mother smiled and said that their father-son relationship should be like this, and he was not so weak.

Since the death of his sister, his father has not come to his mother's palace, and red lanterns have never been hung around his mother's palace.

My mother always remembered him, and knew that he liked to hang red lanterns when it was snowing, so she sent one beautiful lantern after another from the fast horse in the capital.

Since my sister died, my mother has fallen ill, and I don't know if my mother's illness will attack in winter.

Xiao Fuyuan found that Ah Zhen's eyes were wet, held his hand tightly, and said, "Brother Ah Zhen, are you worried about your mother?" ”

Ah Zhen nodded and said, "My mother coughs in winter." ”

Xiao Fuyuan said seriously: "Your mother will be fine, she will be fine." ”

Soon, Xie Chuntao prepared dinner.

Bai Zhaomei also came back from outside.

Due to the large number of people, Xie Chuntao made two pots, one of which was borrowed by Village Chief Zhao, so Village Chief Zhao brought a pot of wine to Zhao Xiaogui uninvited.

Bai Muban thought about it, and invited He Shun over again, originally wanted to invite Xie Xiaolian, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find it, and even Bai Zhaomei went out to look for it twice and didn't find it.

So the Bai family set up two tables of pots, one was placed in the hall, and the white plank, He Shun, the village chief of Zhao, Wu Xiaoying, and the men who drank from the Bai family sat around this pot.

One bite was placed in Zhen's room, and Mrs. Bai sat with the Bai family's daughters and Xiaofuyuan, Ah Zhen and other children.

Originally, Bai Zhaomei was going to sit with her sister, but the old lady Bai was pushed to the table on the white plank, saying that he was not a child anymore, and he couldn't mix with his female relatives in the future.

Snow drifts outside, and pots are eaten indoors.

Xiao Fuyuan thought, this is the hot pot of the future.

Especially in winter, it is very happy to be able to eat hot pot around the stove in a warm house.

The old lady Bai personally mixed the sauce, sesame sauce, leek flowers, and bean curd.

Zhen scalded the meat, first to Ah Zhen, and then to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan and Ah Zhen devoured it.

"I just went to deliver balls to my father, and I smelled the wine sent by Ah Zhen, it smelled so good. This wine from the capital, why don't we try it too? After Eugene Gui finished speaking, he glanced at Old Lady Bai.

Not only did Eugene Gui smell the wine outside, but even Mrs. Bai and the others also smelled it.

I can't help it, the aroma of the wine is so strong, it wafts from the outside to the inside.

"Drink." Xiao Fuyuan ate the meat and said inarticulately.

"Okay, let's have a few drinks like these old men." The old lady Bai got up herself and went outside to bring a jar over.

The wine has already been warmed by Zhen's, so it is still hot in his hand.

Xie Chuntao had already placed an empty bowl in front of everyone.

"In the end, it is wine from the capital, and even the jar is so good-looking." Xie Chuntao took the wine and praised it, and even the jar was painted with exquisite patterns.

You can't throw it away when you're done drinking, and it's good to put wildflowers in the house.

"Xiao Yuanbao and Ah Zhen Dalang Saburo don't pour them out, children are not allowed to drink." Zhen said.

Saburo Daro's face was full of disappointment.

Xiao Fuyuan knocked on Da Lang's head and said, "Children are not allowed to drink." ”

Dalang Saburo nodded in unison.

Anyway, as long as my aunt speaks, everyone must do it.

Xie Chuntao poured wine in front of everyone in the banquet, except for Tian Maimiao, of course.

"This wine is like honey." Eugene Gui took a big sip and said to Qiu Niang on the side.

The wine in this capital is good, it smells fragrant, and it is even more fragrant to drink, unlike the spicy wine at home.

Xie Chuntao also took a sip and said, "This tastes so good, sweet, and floral." ”

Xie Chuntao can't describe it.

Old Lady Bai and Zhen also took a sip.

Zhen's tears are about to fall, and this wine is all too familiar.

It was brewed at home by her grandfather when he was disarmed and returned to the field, and it was a famous bright moon drink in the capital that year.

"This is what my grandmother asked me to bring." Ah Zhen Zhang Ruo said unintentionally, "I don't drink alcohol, but my grandmother gave me two jars of wine." ”

Zhen's heart has mixed feelings.

This is the wine my aunt gave me!

borrowed the wine and asked her if she still remembered the past of the Zhen Mansion.

One winter, my aunt mischievously stole two jars of good wine from my grandfather, and roasted venison in the garden to drink, while she was piling snow in the garden.

The aunt took her to drink with her, and the aunt and nephew drank blushing and fell asleep under the windy and snowy porch.

When my grandfather found out, he reprimanded my aunt severely.

And my aunt touched her head after being reprimanded and blamed herself, what should you do if you drink with me so young? What should I do if I can't get married?

Xiao Fuyuan put the mutton in the bowl in front of Zhen, Zhen's thoughts were pulled back again, and he lowered his head and drank the wine in the bowl in front of him.

"Why am I so familiar with this wine?" Old Lady Bai tasted it carefully.

Yes, when she went to Zhen's Mansion as a guest to participate in Zhen's family banquet, she drank this kind of wine.

She was with her mother-in-law, who felt that the wine was the same as honey and water, and she would not get drunk, so she drank a few large bowls.

In the end, she fell drunk in Zhen's mother's yard, and Grandma Du, who was still a big girl, helped her into the house to sleep.

"Is it really delicious?" Tian Maimiao was very greedy, and fiercely stabilized the wine in front of Xie Chuntao.

"It's delicious." Xie Chuntao took another big sip.

"Sister Mai Miao, I'll give you two jars later." Ah Zhen said.

Tian Maimiao nodded.

Eugene Gui had already finished drinking a large bowl and poured another bowl.

Xie Chuntao's bowl was also empty, and he stretched out the bowl to Eugene Gui.

"Don't look at this wine and honey, but you can't drink too much, you can get drunk." Zhen reminded his daughter-in-law with a smile.

"It's okay, it's at home anyway, it's too big to go back to the house to sleep when you're drunk." Xie Chuntao said.

Zhen and Mrs. Bai saw that Xie Chuntao rarely showed her lively side, so they went with her.

"I'll have a good drink too." The old lady raised the bowl and took the lead.

"Girl, don't be hungry for this wine, let's eat meat." Zhen touched Xiao Yuanbao's head and said.

"I eat meat, Brother Ah Zhen also eats meat, and Dalang Saburo also eats it." Xiao Fuyuan took the meat and went down to the pot.

The pot was steaming, the meat was fragrant, and the sound of wind and snow outside the window was accompanied.

Cosy rural winter evenings.
