The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 115 Gomoku on New Year's Eve

Zhao Yunlan gave out all the New Year's gifts before the year, and it will be New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

There is one more person in the Li family this year, and it seems to be more lively than in previous years.After Zhao Yunlan asked the opinions of the whole family, she still decided to cook mutton hot pot for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner.Wu Yi hadn't eaten hot pot at Li's before, so it was a novelty.

Zhao Yunlan was making hot pot soup, and Wu Yi was making it alongside her.Zhao Yunlan actually wanted to eat beef hot pot, but in this dynasty, the people who could buy beef were either rich or expensive. After all, they farmed cattle. In this era of small-scale peasant economy, cattle are not only controlled, but even the whole pillar of a family. .

Zhao Yunlan still took chances and asked Wu Yi: "Sister and brother, do you know where I can buy beef?"

Wu Yi thought she didn't hear clearly, and asked repeatedly: "Is it beef?" She was shocked. This peasant girl was so courageous that she even thought about eating beef.No wonder my father chose to cooperate with my sister-in-law.

What's more, in the environment of the Li family, the father-in-law cares so much about the cow, and the rest of the Li family take good care of the cow in the family. The sister-in-law will also have the idea of ​​eating beef. This woman is really different from other peasant women. Same.

Zhao Yunlan looked at Wu Yi in a daze for a while, and then shouted: "Sister Yi, brother and sister, it's beef! I'm just asking, if you can't buy it, let it be fine?" Thinking in her heart, she was out of luck.

Wu Yi came back to her senses: "Ah~ sister-in-law, it's not that I can't buy it. I also ate beef at my mother's house before, but the beef was sent by my elder brother from Fucheng. I have to ask my father and elder brother."

Zhao Yunlan nodded and did not continue to ask.Seeing that the soup in the pot boiled, he poured it into the small pot. Li Mingyi came over and brought the pot to the small stove in the middle of the table.

Zhao Yunlan continued to take Li Mingmei and Wu Yi to prepare dishes together, and Aunt Xia was helping.

"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, see how my balls are doing?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Very good, Xiaobao can also take one bite at a time."

Wu Yi: "Well, I also prefer small meatballs."

Zhao Yunlan wrote it down silently.This reminded Zhao Yunlan of some minor issues that should be paid attention to when preparing restaurants and dishes later on.

"Okay, let's bring the dishes over here! Mr. Xianggong, let's call parents for dinner!" Zhao Yunlan was calling Li Mingren when Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi also came to the kitchen.

Li Mingren: "Why don't you two brothers usually see each other, but you will come out at meal time!"

Li Mingzhi: "Hey, my sister-in-law and my brothers are here to serve the food, you go to the dining hall to sit first!"

The whole family was sitting at the dining table, and Li Mingyi whispered to Wu Yi: "Sister-in-law's hot pot soup tastes really good, and the boiled mutton is simply a must, you will have to try it later!"

Wu Yi nodded.

Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan: "Yunlan, do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "This year is a bumper harvest for our family, whether it is the crops in the field or my husband's studies, and of course the more important thing is that we have an extra family member. I only hope that we can grow more and more in the coming year." it is good."

Li Mingmei echoed: "Well, we will definitely get better and better!"

Wang said with a smile: "Then let's eat!"

It was another full meal in the evening. After the meal, the family sat in the main room to watch the New Year together. Zhao Yunlan even played backgammon to relieve boredom.

Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingren to draw a backgammon board, and went to pick some small stones that Xiaobao usually picked up to make chess pieces of similar size.One part is dotted with ink as sunspots, and the other part is white.

Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan played a few times, which was very interesting. Li Mingyi and Wu Yi watched from the side with greedy eyes, and wanted to end it too.

Li Mingyi: "Brother, can't you keep occupying the chessboard?"

Li Mingren was fascinated by the game and boldly said: "Is your sister-in-law still occupying the chessboard?"

Li Mingmei is a loyal fan of Zhao Yunlan: "Sister-in-law beats you every time!"

Zhao Yunlan grabbed Li Mingren's ear, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li were already familiar with it!

"Let's play win or lose now! If you lose, go down and replace someone else!" Zhao Yunlan set the rules of the game.

Li Mingyi squeezed Li Mingren away, but everyone was new to the game and didn't understand Zhao Yunlan's tricks, so they couldn't change someone within a quarter of an hour.

It was the third child's turn to play in this game, and Li Mingli still wanted to use delaying tactics. Zhao Yunlan was not in a hurry, but Li Mingmei couldn't wait, and kept urging Li Mingli.This time, the third child was straight on the head, and he had no regrets in the panic, so he had to replace Li Mingmei in the end.

Li Mingzhi had originally brought Xiaobao and Ye Sheng outside to play with firecrackers, but seeing the exclamation and clapping in the room, he brought Xiaobao in out of curiosity.

"Old Five, how can you make this move?" Li Zhiming watched Li Mingmei play chess, feeling annoyed for Li Mingmei.

"Fourth, shut up, I don't know what to do with the noise!" Li Mingmei shouted.

Li Mingzhi: "Stupid people don't allow people to talk about it!"

The brothers and sisters quarreled and quarreled, and the whole family had some headaches, so it was Wang who said: "Okay, little sister, let the fourth child play with your sister-in-law later, maybe he is worse than you!"

Li Mingmei: "Huh~"

Li Zhiming also: "Huh~"

Li Mingzhi and Zhao Yunlan faced each other, and Zhao Yunlan was a little sleepy at the moment, playing chess all the time, expending too much energy, and was always in a winning state, which caused Zhao Yunlan to relax. Let Li Zhiming take advantage of the loophole.Just when Li Mingmei was about to cheer that Li Mingzhi was one step away from winning, Zhao Yunlan found a way to turn the situation around and finally won the round.

Li Zhiming and Li Mingmei both sighed, Li Mingmei said: "Fourth, it's okay, you are better than us!"

Li Zhiming patted Li Mingmei's shoulder.

Zhao Yunlan shook her head and smiled as she watched the siblings quarrel over a game of chess and make up over a game of chess.

"Come and play, I'll play with Xiaobao for a while!"

Zhao Yunlan gave up the position, Xiaobao wanted to participate, but the adults wanted to occupy the chessboard.Seeing Xiaobao's face about to cry, Zhao Yunlan made a chessboard again.

Zhao Yunlan: "Mom will play with you!"

Xiaobao happily took the pen, because there were not many stones left, Zhao Yunlan took two pens, one drew circles and the other drew triangles, although Zhao Yunlan did not give way to Xiaobao, the mother and son had a great time playing .

Li Mingzhi suddenly said: "This game must be liked by the students, right? Brother!"

Li Mingren nodded: "Indeed!"

Li Mingyi: "Why don't we make more and sell them? Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Zhao Yunlan's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that these brothers from the Li family are really on the right track now!

It was Li Mingli who scratched his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you come up with this game?"

Zhao Yunlan looked at everyone inscrutablely and said, "Read more!"

Zhao Yunlan continued to listen to Li Mingyi talking about the topic of selling backgammon. The New Year came amidst the family's chatting and laughing. With backgammon, Xiaobao didn't fall asleep this year's New Year's Eve!
