Chapter 140: Another Year

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Shen Xiangxi, Su Jieru and the Han family all came back from the county seat.

Han and Shen Xiangxi brought a lot of things, these are New Year's goods issued by the unit, and there are many types.

Shen Ruoqing volunteered to write couplets.

She actually writes well with a brush, and the Shen family is quite popular anyway.

Especially Mrs. Ji.

"My good baby is versatile, look at this handwriting, it's really beautiful. It's more beautiful than Principal He's handwriting. ”

Principal He is the principal of the school in their village, and everyone likes to write Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, so please ask Principal He to write them, because Principal He's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and it is very beautiful.

"Mom, can my words be compared to Principal He's?" Shen Ruoqing was a little embarrassed to be praised, Mrs. Ji was too heavy on her filter.

The neighbor next door heard that Shen Ruoqing wrote well with a brush, and specially took a couplet to ask Shen Ruoqing to help write a pair. said that Shen Ruoqing was a Wenqu star, and the couplet she wrote must have a good meaning.

Somehow, in addition to a few neighbors nearby, a few families from afar also came over to ask Shen Ruoqing to write couplets.

Mrs. Ji felt that this was a particularly long face, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and she was also generous when she saw someone coming, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and listened to the people in the village constantly praising Shen Ruoqing, and her old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

The people of the family first cleaned the house inside and out, and then ate meat, vegetables and soup at noon, of course, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was definitely more sumptuous.

In the afternoon, Shen Ruoqing had nothing to do, so he started playing cards.

Those few little ones must not be able to play Shen Ruoqing, and after a while, several people's faces were covered with white stripes.

Mrs. Ji, Han's and Su Jieru were busy in the kitchen all afternoon. Because last year, Shen Ruoqing said that fried mushrooms were delicious, and this year he made a lot of fried mushrooms. I also made a lot of croquettes, all of which were croquettes. And today, Mrs. Ji was reluctant to kill the hens that lay eggs in her own house, so she specially bought two hens and ducks that did not lay eggs from other people in the village, and was killing chickens and ducks and plucking feathers.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old Shen family and the whole family set up two tables for a reunion dinner.

Although it was mainly the Han family who was in charge, Mrs. Ji still wanted Shen Ruoqing to show her hand. Shen Ruoqing thought about it and made a sweet and sour tenderloin. The rest was made by Han, and Han also made a finale dish - Dongpo elbow.

Han is worthy of studying in a state-run restaurant for so long, and then looking at her cooking process like cooking with oil in the pot, Su Jieru kept praising her.

This Dongpo elbow, Shen Xiangbei also said that he had never seen this kind of Dongpo elbow with attractive color and attractive fragrance and domineering fragrance, so that people don't taste it as if they know that it is soft and delicious, juicy and delicious!

Dongpo elbow is the last dish, the other dishes have long been ready, and when the dishes are ready, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will officially begin.

A large family eats and drinks, and praises this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, after all, they have not eaten so good in previous years, chickens, ducks and fish meat are neat, one does not fall, and the eyes of the big guys are glowing green.

Of course, the most popular dish is the finale, Dongpo elbow.

Seeing Dongpo's elbow, Shen Hanwen and Shen Hanwu immediately wanted to use chopsticks to grab it, but now Shen Xue is not the submissive character she used to be, she didn't give in, and while grabbing a large piece of meat, she didn't forget to grab a piece for her sister Shen Yun. The battle at the children's table is fierce.

Fortunately, Shen Ruoqing sat at the adult table. Dongpo elbow is also greedy for others, but it is still restrained. Mrs. Ji first clamped a large piece for Shen Ruoqing, and then they used chopsticks for the rest.

"Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really amazing, not much different from the craftsmanship of the master of the state-run hotel, I think you can also be the master chef in charge." Shen Xiangxi gave a thumbs up.

"If you like to eat, eat as much as you like." Han said with a smile.

After eating, it was the New Year's Eve, Shen Xue pulled Shen Ruoqing to touch the black jumping rubber band, this rubber band was still changed by Shen Xue with the head flower made by Han and the classmates.

"Small ball, kick, Malan blossoms twenty-one. 28256, 28257"

Shen Ruoqing hasn't jumped the rubber band for many years, and I think it's quite interesting to play like this.

After coaxing the little girl, the three sisters and Shen Ruoqing all yawned and went to sleep, and the adults kept vigil with melon seeds, and their spirits were surprisingly good.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Ruoqing ate dumplings stuffed with green onions, and then got up to greet her mother for the New Year, and got a rich red envelope.

Her nephews and nieces lined up to say auspicious words to her and asked for red envelopes, and Shen Ruoqing gave them one by one. Then I saw that Shen Hansong had finished worshipping the New Year, but he didn't want her red envelope.

"Sister-in-law, I'm 16 years old this year, and I can't ask for red envelopes anymore."

"Fool, you're not an adult, why don't you want red envelopes? If your sister-in-law gives it to you, you will take it. Shen Ruoqing couldn't help but say it, and forcefully stuffed the red envelope to Shen Hansong.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Compared with last year, there are obviously a lot more people who come to pay New Year's greetings than last year, but fortunately, Mrs. Ji has prepared more candy melon seeds or something, and she has stuffed a handful of melon seeds, peanuts or candy into the New Year.

Ji Meihua also came to pay New Year's greetings.

Ji Meihua was wearing a fur coat and showed off to Mrs. Ji shyly.

"Cousin, why are you still wearing the same clothes from last year? Didn't your eldest daughter-in-law find a job in the county? And your third child, isn't he a tractor driver? Why didn't I buy you clothes? Ji Meihua's eyes flashed with pride.

"Plum blossoms, your clothes are leather, oops, they are slippery to the touch, and they are beautiful and foreign! Compare our cotton jacket made of homespun cloth directly to the mud! Where did you buy this? Who bought it for you? Which child of yours is so filial? Someone touched it enviously.

"This fur coat looks so good, it's just a thin touch, sister-in-law, can it be warm?"

Ji Meihua proudly and cherished her fur coat.

"Warm, how can this not be warm? How can my children be so filial, this is my future grandson-in-law bought for me, specially let people from the big city to piggyback, a total of two, I have a piece of my eldest granddaughter, I heard that I can't buy it if I want to, you say this child, how old am I, what do you want to wear this fancy do, don't want it, and I'm afraid that the child will be unhappy, yes, let's catch up with the old man, let the old sisters see the joke! ”

said that he didn't want it, and it was rare to touch left and right on his hands, but it soured a group of old ladies to death.

"Son-in-law? Do you have a partner? When? Who is it for? "Someone grabbed the keyword.

"Who else can it be, it is Li Zhiqing, who lives in our house, and suddenly took a fancy to my family's Xinyi girl. We are also an enlightened parent, since the two children are in love with each other, we are not easy to do, the wicked man who beats the mandarin duck is not, let the two of them look everywhere first. ”

"What? Li Zhiqing and Xinyi are in love? When did this happen? ”
