Chapter Forty-Six: It's New Year
"Still asleep? Hurry up, you are not allowed to sleep lazy during the Chinese New Year today, everyone is busy with work, are you embarrassed to put this to sleep? Ning Qingxi, who was asleep, was picked up by her grandmother Wang Xiujuan.
The An family is preparing things for the New Year, the women are busy pasting red paper on the window and door frames, and the men are responsible for cleaning the dead corners of the high places.
If this is usually the New Year, I will also paste some red paper, once a year to celebrate, but not like this year, I have made a lot of money this year, so I can have a lively fat year.
After confirming that Ning Qingxi got up, Wang Xiujuan left her a bowl of noodles with an omelette on it.
Wang Xiujuan came to the kitchen to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei, who finished pasting the red paper, also came to the kitchen to help prepare, cutting the meat, washing the vegetables, and proceeding in an orderly manner, Wang Xiujuan commanded Ning Lao Er to chop a lot of meat, preparing to make meat balls at night, Ning Lao San was responsible for lighting the fire there, and occasionally exchanged with Ning Lao Er, chopping so much meat was also quite exhausting. Ning Changrong was tidying up his ox cart outside, Carpenter Sun's work was very meticulous, Ning Changrong checked for a long time and didn't find any punctures, and the place where the wood was handed over was very stable, there was no abnormal noise, and the roof of the car was also well done, there was no water accumulation in a slight arc, it was easy to disassemble, and the surrounding cards were very firm, and it would not collapse when running.
The more Ning Changrong looked at it, the more he liked it, wiped it inside and out, and put it next to the cowshed, the lazy thing with the black spot was lying on his side in the straw, glanced at the ox cart, and then glanced at Ning Changrong and continued to chew the food in his mouth.
Ning Changrong didn't know if the other cows were also so lazy? He loves to lie down when he has nothing to do, which is completely different from the majestic appearance he saw that day.
The more he looked at the cow, the more familiar it became, and suddenly a painting flashed in his mind.
Isn't this what his daughter looks like lying on the couch watching TV?! While stuffing something into your mouth, you watch TV!
After eating, Ning Qingxi was in charge of helping to watch the little cousin of the second aunt's family, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said in his heart: It can't be someone who is talking bad about me, right?
The family was busy with joy on their faces.
The ingredients are sufficient, Wang Xiujuan played a cooking skill, that night there were mutton dumplings, fried meatballs, fish ball soup, garlic fish fillet, braised pork, spicy chicken, stir-fried rabbit meat, fried tofu with green onions, hot and sour cabbage.
Since eating mutton hot pot, the family has fallen in love with the taste of dogwood, and this spicy chicken is replaced with dogwood.
Wang Xiujuan and the three of them are not used to eating pork here, and the Ning family likes to eat it, so Wang Xiujuan also made a braised pork for them to eat, anyway, the three of them will not move with chopsticks.
There are too many dishes to do at night, relying on Wang Xiujuan to make it too slowly, and there are a few simple ones she put to Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei to cooperate with.
Li Dafeng looked at the rich dinner on the table and grinned, "My mother, I have never eaten so many dishes in my life!" ”
Seeing that her mother poured such a large bucket of oil to fry meatballs to make fish fillets, Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei looked at the pain in their hearts, but now that they looked at it on the table with such a sumptuous appearance, they thought it was worth it.
Although their mother seems to be getting better and worse, this craft is getting better and better.
Wang Xiujuan sat in the first place, holding a glass of wine in her hand, there was no degree, and there was a strange astringency, so she bought it back for the occasion. "Celebrate our family and cross the year safely, I hope that next year, the year after tomorrow, and the days to come will be more prosperous.
"Cheers."
The Ning family didn't know what Wang Xiujuan meant by toasting, and after seeing Ning Qing and Ning Changrong all raise their glasses, they also hurriedly raised the small wine glass in their hands, and strangely learned from them to clink glasses with everyone.
The other people's cups were full of rice wine, and what was in Ning Qingxi was water.
Ning Laosan took a sip of wine, "Okay!" Our family will definitely get better and better! ”
"Milk, you're really good at it! No regression! "Fish balls are good Q, they should be good for frying.
"Mother, what do you think, you want to break this fish? It's so delicious! After Ning Lao Er ate a few bites of braised pork, he found that everyone else was grabbing fish balls, and he was curious to clip one, and when he wanted to clip it again, he found that only soup was left.
This fish meat was chopped out by his own hands, why did he only get one?
Without fish balls, he could only turn his head and grab garlic fish fillets from others.
The Ning family originally thought that pork and mutton and chicken were the best, and the fish was not valuable, but seeing that Ning Qingxi and the three of them were eating chopsticks non-stop, they found that when it was delicious, there was not much left in the bowl.
It's quite interesting for you to fight for me, not to mention it.
There are still some dishes on the table after the last one has a round belly and can't eat, except for mutton dumplings, most of them are vegetarian dishes, this is the first time Ning Qingxi has seen leftovers at home after wearing it, it is not easy.
Without waiting for Wang Xiujuan's instructions, Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei quickly cleaned up the rest of the meal. It should be washed, the excess should be brushed and kept, and continue to eat tomorrow, looking at the lazy appearance of the man in the family, Wang Xiujuan kicked Ning Lao Er and asked them to go to the kitchen to help her daughter-in-law.
Ning Changrong didn't get in easily, so he was responsible for cleaning the table where he ate.
Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San, after entering, Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei still wanted to drive them away, and they were moved to hear that it was their mother who let them in, they had never seen such an enlightened mother-in-law.
Ning Laoer, who slept on the kang at night, suddenly spoke: "The dishes made by my mother are all good, but this tofu feels a little worse, but this dish is not meat, and it is normal that it is not as delicious as other dishes." ”
Fang Chunmei paused when she entered the house, she made the tofu. She ignored Ning Er's words and prepared to wash up and sleep.
Ning Lao Er didn't get a response and looked at his daughter-in-law with some puzzlement, what's going on, why does she look a little unhappy, who recruited her to provoke her during the New Year?
When Li Dafeng is willing to put the seasoning, her cooking skills are not much different from Wang Xiujuan, and Fang Chunmei has no talent, and she is not happy to be poked in the center by her husband.
The next morning, the family ate mutton dumplings with hot and sour cabbage noodles.
This day was so beautiful that the Ning family was satisfied, and even Ning Qingxi was satisfied. The processed lamb has no smell and is fragrant.
After receiving several families from the village who came to pay New Year's greetings, the Ning family also began to go out to pay New Year's greetings in the next few days, and Ning Qingxi had the opportunity to recognize all the people in the village.
The first New Year in ancient times passed peacefully. Ning Qingxi's family also has a sense of belonging here.
The family has money, and this year is over, Wang Xiujuan plans to divide the family, of course, on the surface, she will definitely not go to the transfer of the family, this ancient tax payment is according to the household, if this is the transfer of the family, don't they add a burden to themselves?
