Chapter 254: The Night of the Winter Solstice
The three of them heard He Mi's voice and hurriedly got down from the kang, but He Mi came alone today.
When Han Li and the others were luring them out, He Mi was holding a basin in his hand and was pushing the door open with his ass in a backward manner.
Even though she was wearing thick cotton pants, Han Li could still feel the roundness and fullness that far surpassed that of the Yun family sisters.
Seeing this, Yun Yingying hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door of the house and said.
"Sister He, why are you here?"
"Isn't it the winter solstice today, according to the customs of our hometown, we should eat dumplings and stewed mutton, I estimate that you must have prepared the dumplings, so I will bring you some stewed mutton, we say that the winter solstice does not eat meat, frozen toes, these old sayings are okay or not, anyway, we are trying to be auspicious."
Yun Yingying hurriedly stepped forward to take He Mi's basin, and Yun Jingjing pulled her to the back room to talk.
Han Li was about to follow him to the inner room when Yun Yingying suddenly stopped him.
"Brother Li, what should we put in Sister He's basin? After receiving other people's meat, I returned dumplings, which I felt a little inappropriate. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to put meat on it too?"
"But we don't have any stewed meat? Is it raw meat that is returned? ”
"Okay, why not, He Mi doesn't care about this."
Yun Yingying thought that she was returning raw meat, so she directly took a large piece of venison and put it in.
When He Mi left, he was a little unhappy when he saw the meat in the basin, so he told them with a smile.
"Isn't it just a pot of meat? Is it necessary to have such a clear relationship between us? ”
"Sister He, we didn't mean that, the main thing is that it's not good to go back with an empty basin."
Seeing that the three of them were about to start pulling again, Han Li hurriedly said on the side.
"He Mi, this is the venison I bought from someone last night, just like you said, with the relationship between us, even if you didn't send stewed mutton over today, we plan to send you some to try, but Aunt Zhang came over to deliver dumplings and just left, haven't we bothered to go to your side."
"Really?"
He Mi asked pointedly, and now Yun Yingying answered this question directly without Han Li opening his mouth.
"Sister He, what is our relationship, of course this is true."
"Venison? Then I'll take it, but the next time Han Li goes to buy meat, if the other party still has venison, can you help me buy some back." ”
"Of course this is no problem, I can go over and have a look another day, and if there is, I will buy some for you."
After He Mi saw Han Li agreeing with a smile, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he also left with a smile.
After sending He Mi away, Yun Yingying lay down on the kang very unladylike and said.
"Wait a minute, Sister Hongmin and Sister Xiuying, won't they come over too."
Yun Jingjing stepped forward and slapped her sister, reached out and pulled her up to sit down.
"It's not unlikely."
"If they come over, they must bring rice balls, but why should we take them back here? Dumplings? Raw meat? ”
"It doesn't matter what it is, it's not easy for anyone these days, we just don't let people go back empty-handed."
Han Li leaned against the wall and watched the two sisters discuss this over there, when he suddenly thought of something and said.
"Yingying, you go and cook a few dumplings sent by Aunt Zhang to taste them."
"Well, I'll go now, but Brother Li, you won't be hungry not long after eating, right?"
"What do you think, I'm not a rice bucket, how can I be hungry just after eating, let's try Aunt Zhang's dumplings are delicious, let's stay and freeze in the tank, if it doesn't fit, I'll borrow flowers and offer Buddha."
"Is it for Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu?"
"Well, the two of them live together, and they may not even remember that today is the winter solstice, even if they know that they will definitely not make dumplings."
Yun Yingying got up and went to the outhouse to cook dumplings, and Yun Jingjing followed behind.
When he walked past Han Li, he was lightly slapped on his upturned buttocks, and Yun Jingjing gave him a look with a complicated expression.
It didn't take long for the two sisters to bring the dumplings, and since everyone just tasted them, they cooked a total of six.
Han Li tasted Aunt Zhang's dumplings and turned out to be stuffed with pork and beans, there was not much meat in them, and the meat seemed to have been fried in sauce, and the sauce flavor was more obvious than the meat flavor in one bite, but the taste was generally okay.
The two sisters also said that it was not bad, saying that there was a smell of fried sauce, and what to do to let Han Li have an idea, Han Li thought about it and gave it to Zhang Yaozu and them.
"Anyway, our family is not short of meat, my sister's craftsmanship is much stronger than Aunt Zhang's, we can make better dumplings when we want to, so I think this dumpling should be given to Zhang Yaozu and them."
"Brother Li, just take your idea."
"Then you two stay at home, and I'll go back as soon as I go."
Han Li didn't swagger out with a lid, but put the dumplings in a cloth pocket before walking towards Zhang Xiangjun's house.
Han Li walked over against the wind and snow, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he heard Zhang Yaozu's voice complaining.
"Why is it windy and snowy, after the snow, the uncles don't go to the mountains for the time being, the bad geese are so bored at home."
"If you're bored, come and help me cut the plank, it doesn't matter if it's broken, we're going to burn it anyway."
"Hey, Brother Han, you're here."
"Brother Han."
"It's still so hot in your house, so you have to be careful of catching a cold when you go out to the bathroom. By the way, do you know what day it is? ”
After Han Li finished speaking, the two of them shook their heads at the same time and asked.
"What day?"
"Today is the winter solstice, according to the customs of Sijiu City and the local customs, I want to eat dumplings today, I know that you two have not prepared dumplings, so I won't send them to you."
As soon as Han Li's words fell, Zhang Xiangjun immediately said with excitement on his face.
"I'm so confused, I didn't know that today was the winter solstice, thank you Brother Han for still thinking about us."
However, Zhang Yaozu's expression was a little low after hearing that today was the winter solstice, and he said a little frustrated after thanking Han Li.
"Before I knew it, it was the winter solstice today, and the geese at this time of the year were spent with their families."
Seeing Zhang Yaozu's expression, Han Li should have been homesick, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"You kid can't be homesick and want to cry, right?"
Zhang Yaozu immediately tilted his head back when Han Li said this, and said angrily.
"It's a little bit homesick, but the goose is a man who wants to be on par with Yang Zirong, so the goose won't be homesick and want to cry."
However, his words made Han Li and Zhang Xiangjun all laugh, and their laughter made Zhang Yaozu's face turn red directly.
Then, as Han Li expected, Zhang Xiangjun wanted to pull Han Li to drink again, and said that the dumplings would be more and more drunk, and the dumplings would have a brilliant life, Zhang Yaozu was helping with ill intentions on the side, and when he saw him like this, he wanted to get Han Li drunk.
However, Han Li would not fall for them, and besides, what was the point of drinking with the two of them today.
There are still two beauties in the house waiting for him to smash shabu, shabu, and shabu together at night.
Han Li directly rejected the offer to drink, chatted with them for a while and left.
However, when Han Li returned home, Hao Hongmei and Yang Xiuying were sitting on the kang and talking to the Yun family sisters.
"Brother Li's back."
"Han Li, where did you go with such a heavy snowfall?"
"I'm out there to enjoy the snow."
"Everyone drills into the warm place, only you are nervous to run outside."
Han Li smiled and said, "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, must be sunny, looking at the red clothes and plain wraps, it is extremely enchanting. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.., I went to feel the feelings of the great man at that time, so that I could better follow in the footsteps of his old man. ”
Han Li's words directly stunned the few of them, and it took a long time for Yang Xiuying to ask.
"And what did you feel?"
"One word can describe how I felt."
"What word?"
"Cold."
"Haha."
Han Li's words made the laughter in the room ring, but the scene of flowers and branches trembling was indeed very eye-catching.
It took them a long time to stop their laughter and start laughing in unison to mock Han Li again, but he only responded with a smile,
At this time, Hao Hongmin's face suddenly turned red, and then she secretly pulled Yang Xiuying's hand to make a gesture.
The two of them were about to leave, and the two Yun sisters took out a bottle of canned plums for them to take back.
But at this time, Hao Hongmei seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and accepted it after two shirks.
Han Li was a little confused by Hao Hongmei's appearance, could it be that there were rats in her own house that bit her buttocks, otherwise why would she look so impatient, but Yun Yingying whispered in her ear after seeing him like this.
"Sister Hongmin must have been the one who suddenly flowed, and now she is in a hurry to go home and change the toilet paper."
Yun Yingying immediately understood when she said this, but Yun Jingjing said at this time.
"What Yang Xiuying said just now meant was that I wanted to invite you to have time and take everyone to the lower reaches of the river for winter fishing."
"Winter fishing? Everyone? Sister, do you want to go? If you want to go, I'll be a little tired and lead the team. ”
Han Li thought for a moment when he said this, and then continued.
"According to the local proverb, if you don't make a move on the 19th and 29th, you will go on the ice on the 39th and 49th, and I don't approve of going now for the safety of my sister, and it will be safer until after the 39th."
In order to make the evening activities smoother, Han Li walked the dogs around early today.
It was early evening, and Han Li was quietly using decomposition to cut the mutton in the outhouse, and the two sisters were fiddling with the brazier, casserole, and preparing dipping sauces and the like.
At this time, God seemed to be about to accomplish the beautiful things of this evening, and suddenly the wind roared, and the wind and the snowflakes also became violent, and a blizzard was the beginning of a big smoke cannon.
Han Li watched the sudden change in the weather outside, and his heart was also happy, he immediately got up and went to close the street door.
Back inside the house and looking at the busy sisters, Han Li's heart suddenly became excited.
