Chapter 355 Winter Solstice
Xiaohong and Xiaowei had a pen and paper, and Cheng Li also gave Cheng Wenyuan a picture book, and brought three children to draw on the dining table in the south hall.

With a few simple strokes, you can draw a small animal.

The three children are interested.

Cheng Li carefully directed their pen nibs to turn.

Not to mention, Xiaohong is a fast learner.

Xiaowei is the worst, the painting is crooked.

Cheng Li doesn't care, the skills are taught, she is not a real teacher, she is just drawing for fun.

Cheng Wenyuan didn't know if it was because his nerves were too rough and he had no imagination, and he was not much better than Xiaowei.

After a while, the two boys went to play yo.

When Wu Yuting came to pick up the child, he saw his daughter's painting and was very satisfied, "That's right, after Xiaohong learned it, she drew one for Xiaosi, but she didn't draw one for her, so she cried anxiously."

"No, if I can draw Xiaosi, I'll give it to her, she is my younger sister."

Wu Yuting nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, Xiaosi is my younger sister, and I will learn how to draw with my younger sister."

"Uh-huh."

……

In the evening, ten people came back from the stall.

Cheng Guotian asked Cheng Mei and Cheng Lan, "Is anyone teaching you today?"

"Yes, the factory manager personally took us to find a very good-tempered aunt who taught us seriously."

Cheng Guotian nodded, "Then you all should study hard and try to become a teacher as soon as possible."

"Uh-huh."

Cheng Li glanced at the clothes on the two of them, "Mom, find two new sets of clothes and shoes for Sister Mei and Sister Lan. If they wear this way, others will know that they are country girls and will bully them."

"no, I'm fine."

Cheng Mei and Cheng Lan hurriedly refused, because each piece of clothing cost several or tens of dollars.

"Respect the clothes first and then the people." Cheng Guotian agreed with the little niece's words, "Xiaomei Xiaolan, change into new clothes and ask your fourth aunt to record the purchase price, and then return it after you get your wages."

The second uncle said, Cheng Mei and Cheng Lan did not refuse.

Cheng Zhu and Chengju have already gone to the kitchen to help out. There are 20 people eating, and cooking is a big project.

The two cousins ​​understood each other's thoughts with just a glance. At dinner, they said that they would go to the stall every day and leave one person to help the third uncle cook.

The Cheng family has no objection to the decision of the cousins, and it is a good thing to have an opinion.

……

The next day is the winter solstice, and of course dumplings are eaten during the winter solstice.

For this day, Mr. Cheng exchanged the meat ticket with others, worried that it would expire, and finally saved the meat ticket for him and his second son for half a year.

When the six catties of meat tickets came into Cheng Li's hands, she giggled, "This time, I'll enjoy it."

Cheng Wenyuan was puzzled, "You haven't stopped eating meat, have you?"

"Those are chicken, mutton, and pig offal. If you don't understand, don't eat meat dumplings any longer."

"That won't work."

"Then shut up."

"Oh."

Mrs. Cheng went to buy meat early.

If you want to buy quickly, you must bring your little granddaughter.

At the steps of the approach bridge, I met Grandma Li who was carrying a sack.

"Mom? Why are you so early?"

"Didn't I think that today is the day to eat dumplings? So I pulled out fresh radishes and sent them here, lest you buy them again."

"Then you go back first, let's go buy meat."

"I'm with you."

"Let's go then."

……

There are quite a lot of people buying meat today. Fortunately, food companies kill a lot.

As soon as Cheng Li entered the gate of the store, the butcher behind the counter saw it. He liked to jump in line for this little fat girl the most.
"Come here, fat girl, how much do you buy, the uncle will cut it for you first."

Under the glaring gazes of the people in line, Cheng Li chubby pointed, "The front legs are lean."

"Buy lean meat again? Everyone likes to buy fatty meat."

"I just like to eat lean meat."

"Okay! How much do you want?"

"Six catties."

"So much?"

"I saved it for half a year, just for this day."

"How old is it?"

"There are still chickens, ducks and fish during the Chinese New Year, so the meat can be less."

"You fat girl, you really know how to count."

While talking, the meat was cut and tied with a straw rope, "Anything else to buy?"

"Then let's go into the water like a pig."

"okay!"

The butcher was happy, he killed two more pigs today, but everyone bought meat, and the pigs couldn't be sold anymore.

Mrs. Cheng paid the money and tickets, and left the sales office with two skewers.

Grandma Li, who was waiting at the door, saw that she had bought so much meat, and said the same thing as the butcher, "It's not the end of the year?"

"There is still one month left before Chinese New Year, and there will still be chickens, ducks and fish."

"Then why do you still buy pigs to go into the water?"

Mrs. Cheng also wanted to ask her granddaughter this question.

Cheng Li waved her hands and walked ahead, "You always bring food, ask your daughter to marinate it for you, take it home and eat slowly."

The eyes of Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Li's grandmother were red.

Back home, Mrs. Cheng went into the kitchen to help make breakfast.

Grandma Li scrubbed the pig into the water.

Cheng Mei saw it, and quickly put the trash can at her grandmother's feet, "Except for water, all other things are taken here."

"Uh-huh."

Grandma Li has been here several times, and she knows how to operate the pool.

Meimei is willing to teach her, and she accepts.

As soon as breakfast was over, the Cheng family went about their business.

Cheng Zhu cleaned up the two tables of dishes. Fortunately, she and Xiaoju decided to keep one of them. Otherwise, how could Third Uncle be busy with so many things by herself?
She still has to find time to do her own work. She admires the third uncle very much.

……

Mrs. Cheng decided to make some dumplings for lunch, and asked her mother to follow suit.

Grandma Li waved her hand, "Don't, you have a lot of family members."

"It's okay, the one with some radish fried meat sauce, the taste is not worse than the pure meat one."

Cheng Li helped make dumplings, and Grandma Li happily looked at Cheng Li's little paws, she was really not slow.

Cheng Li looked up, "What are you doing? Hurry up!"

"Uh-huh."

Even if seven people set up a stall outside and don't eat dumplings, there are still twelve people in the family!

There were more than 100 dumplings in total, Mrs. Cheng filled three bowls of [-] dumplings, and gave them to her husband, second brother and old lady respectively.

Cheng Li ate two to indicate that she would eat minced meat at night.

Cheng Wenyuan followed his sister.

Cheng Zhu was too embarrassed to eat too much.

Only Cheng Wenzong didn't know how to be polite.

It was useless for Cheng Wenan to kick him.

Cheng Wenan sighed, is this cousin a real elm lump?

Forget it, the Li family's own grievances.

Cheng Shanghu came back to pick up the rice and tasted a few, "It tastes good, I will wrap some fried meat sauce in the evening."

……

In the afternoon, Grandma Li helped make dumplings for a while before leaving with stewed liver and tripe.

Cheng Li glanced at the stuffing and noodles, worried why didn't mother and elder sister come back to make dumplings?

Cheng Guotian asked his grandson to help put the stuffing in. He fumbled for the bag, "Xiao Si, you are in a hurry."

"Second Grandpa felt it?"

"Well, don't worry, if you pack slowly, eat later, if you pack quickly, eat earlier."

"Hmm." Cheng Li knew it was useless to worry.

It wasn't until after four o'clock that seven people returned home with the goods.

"There are so many people today, I have wanted to close the stall for a long time, but I can't close it."

Cheng Guotian smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's getting cold, it's time for a change of season."

Cheng Yan washed her hands and sat down, "Isn't that right? Isn't that group of people who want to take advantage of the opportunity just moaning? The more anxious we are, the happier they are."

Cheng Li raised her head, "A lot?"

"En!" Cheng Yan nodded.

Cheng Li looked at her mother, "Are you losing money?"

Chao Yun shook his head, "What's that little bargain? It made your grandma's eyes turn red. She is afraid of missing calculations, and always chases customers to question her. Many people don't like to buy from her."

Cheng Li was relieved, her mother knew it well.
