Xiao Hong had already thought of countermeasures, even if Xiao Jianhua and the others found out that the lo-mei was not as good as theirs, they would only think that it was because of their stepfather's hand.

When she saw Liu Meijuan giving Xiao Yuhang the most meaty bones to gnaw, her eyes flashed: "Dad, you cut three plates for me, and I want to send one plate to the second grandmother and their family." ”

Xiao Jianhua responded and began to cut the braised pig's head meat.

His parents are gone, and his brother is not in the village, so if there is something at home, he really has to help his cousins.

Besides, over the years, his uncles and aunts have treated him well.

Not to mention, their family built a house in the second half of the year, thanks to their help.

When the Xiao sisters and Xiao Jianhua went to deliver braised meat together, Liu Meijuan pushed her son who gnawed bones, and nagged dissatisfiedly: "Eat and eat, you know how to eat, and I don't know if you follow your father to have a long face." ”

Xiao Yuhang's stomach was propped up, but he was still reluctant to stop, and said unhappily: "They are not good to me, they don't give me toffee to eat!" ”

After saying that, he took the bones and ran.

Liu Meijuan had heard her daughter say before that the Xiao sisters took cigarettes and toffee to the other three families to pay New Year's greetings.

Thinking that they didn't give anything to their children, she also pulled down her face: "These two little hooves deliberately came to hit me in the face." ”

He looked at his daughter again and asked, "Have you written down all her techniques for marinating and lo-mei?" ”

If her daughters were gone, she wanted them to go quickly, and she didn't want to serve them anymore.

"I've written it down, but I'm not sure how much she has for each spice." Lou Fenfang persuaded her: "Mom, don't worry, let her teach me next time, so that I can know in my heart." ”

After speaking, he was a little worried: "It's just these days, I'm afraid there is no fresh pig's head in the market to buy, right?" ”

Liu Meijuan thought that the bazaar would not open until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she really didn't want the Xiao sisters to live for so long, and she couldn't sit still anymore: "I went out to ask, I remember that the Yinmei family killed a pig yesterday, and the pig's head couldn't be sold." ”

Now almost every household in the village raises pigs.

Wait until the New Year to kill the pigs, some people are all left, choose some fat meat to boil into lard, four legs and some knife heads to marinate into bacon, can eat all year round.

There are also some people who will sell most of the pork, so that they can have one or two hundred yuan more in their hands, and those who are more frugal will be able to use it for a while.

However, this also leads to the lower price of pork during the Chinese New Year.

There are also pigs' heads that make trouble, but they can't be sold.

Liu Meijuan went around the village and really bought two pig heads.

Although they have all been salted, they have only been salted for two or three days, and if you change the water a few times, it should be almost the same after soaking overnight.

In the afternoon, Xiao Jianjun came back with a bag.

Xiao Jianhua was surprised and asked, "Brother, why did you come back by yourself, why didn't your sister-in-law and Haodong come back?" ”

The Xiao family estimated that there were genes for the twins.

Not only did Wu Julan give birth to twin daughters, but even Xiao Jianjun's wife gave birth to twin boys.

can make Xiao Jianjun envious, he thinks that his wife can give birth to two sons for him, but who knows that it is two daughters who are born.

After Xiao Jianjun put down his bag, he visited the new house inside and out: "She has to be on duty for the New Year, there is no leave, Haonan is also on duty, Haodong They are talking to the second grandmother at the entrance of the village." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at his younger brother curiously: "I heard that Julan and they opened a store to sell lo-mei to make money?" And Xiao Hong, did she teach you how to make lo-mei? ”

"Even you know?" The corners of Xiao Jianhua's mouth twitched, in a small village in the countryside, if there is anything rare, everyone who can spread it soon will know.

Xiao Jianjun couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Hong is still towards you, but it's a pity that our grandma left too early and couldn't enjoy the blessings of her eldest granddaughter." ”

persuaded him again: "Don't be too patriarchal, it's best to bring Xiao Hong back, like our eldest sister, how good and filial to our grandma!" ”

"You are like this, speaking of which, you have a stepmother and a stepfather, how can you be so confused?"

Xiao Jianjun can't say that he can be better to his daughter than his son, but he is not as patriarchal as his younger brother.

He just entered the village, the second aunt and the third aunt and some of the village aunts pulled him to complain, from the summer vacation, Xiao Jianhua was arrested for gambling, and now his wife wants to marry Xiao Hong to the second-rate son in exchange for the bride price, Wu Julan came to take Xiao Hong away, and now Xiao Hong is still very conscientious to come back to teach Xiao Jianjun to make lo-mei...

He is far away, and now that his grandmother is gone, he hasn't even come back from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he really doesn't know that his brother's house is like this.

And his wife is unwilling to come back, so she can't look down on her current brother and daughter-in-law.

Anyway, he is very glad that his wife has not come back, otherwise he would have been unstable this year when he heard this.

Xiao Jianhua didn't dare to be arrogant in front of his eldest brother, and he blushed a little when he heard it: "I know, I didn't expect her to be so confused." ”

At this time, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was not at home at that time, or now he was afraid that he would be beaten.

The two families are together, and there are many people.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, seven dishes were placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, and everyone worshipped at home today.

When the worship was finished, the yellow paper ingots were burned, the firecrackers were set off, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table of the Eight Immortals were put away, and Liu Meijuan and her daughter began to cook dinner.

It's not that she doesn't want the Xiao sisters to come into the kitchen to help, but to make a good impression in front of Xiao Jianjun.

She is also a little afraid of this big brother, and her face sank to make people feel frightened.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, all of whom were different.

Xiao Haodong graduated from medical school, and now he is an intern doctor, he doesn't talk much, but he has a good temperament, and he first asked them about their studies when they met.

Xiao Haonan doesn't like to study, he went to work before graduating from high school, and now he is following his father in the railway bureau, and he didn't come today, after all, when the Chinese New Year was on the railway, there were many people like squeezing dumplings.

Xiao Mengqiu is still studying in medical university, although she hasn't seen them for a long time, she is not unfamiliar with them, and deliberately tells ghost stories to scare Xiao Hong and them.

Taking advantage of the absence of the adults, Xiao Mengqiu sat between Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang, hugged them left and right and asked in a low voice, "Is your stepfather really good to you?" ”

She stared at Xiao Hong with a suspicious expression: "I remember last year's Chinese New Year, your cooking skills were average, is it that now you are not in school at all, your stepfather let you work in the kitchen every day, and you learned to braise pig's head?" ”

Xiao Hong couldn't help but smile: "Sister, your imagination is really rich enough?" ”

Xiao Jianjun's three children had to go to work when they were young, so they were sent to the countryside to live with their grandmother during the winter and summer vacations, and they were indeed closer to Xiao Hong.

Until my grandmother died, they didn't come back for the summer vacation.

Therefore, Xiao Mengqiu felt a little sorry for Xiao Hong in her heart, she felt that if she came back to accompany Xiao Hong during the summer vacation, she would not have almost had an accident.
