Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 242 The New Year's Eve (3)
The sky is getting dark, and the smell of chicken soup can be heard from the yard. In Grandma’s main room, there are two large tables. Fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, spinach mixed with peanuts, fried pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried bean sprouts, spicy tofu, fried fungus with cabbage slices, fried meatballs, shrimp slices, shredded sweet potatoes, and a little refreshing spicy cabbage, Cut the salted duck eggs in half and put them on a plate, anyone can put whatever they like.

All the family members stood up first, lit a stick of incense, and worshiped again and again in the direction of the ancestral hall of Mojia Village. Then they sat down and poured a glass of water and wine on the ground. Start eating this reunion dinner.

This year's reunion dinner at Mo's family is much richer than in previous years. The family's fortunes are good, and everyone is happy. The younger Mo Zidong also married a new wife, Fu Caiyun, which can be regarded as increasing the number of people in the family. Grandma also gave Fu Caiyun a chicken leg, telling her to take good care of her body and add a son to the Mo family as soon as possible, which made the new daughter-in-law Fu Caiyun blush.

"Girl Li, there is another chicken leg for you to eat, this is your favorite."

Prepare a new pair of chopsticks next to Nai, and she always uses these chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and it is Qing Li's next turn, and Qing Li said that chicken wings are not easy to eat, and prefers to eat chicken drumsticks, Nai kept that in mind.

"Give the chicken legs to Qingdai, Qingdai hasn't come back for a long time."

A total of two chickens had been stewed to only have four legs. Qing Li is not the youngest in the family, but she always gets attention from her own grandma. Regardless of whether she can eat chicken legs or not, this kind of affection is rare.

"Third aunt, give it to my little sister. I'm too old, how can I compete with the little girl for chicken legs?"

Mo Qingdai smiled, the family members are very humble, the second sister Qing Qiang prefers to eat chicken wings, she doesn't need to be humble with others, she just picked one up, "I like to eat chicken wings, although the meat is not much, but delicious , haha, I’m not welcome, you guys can’t beat me.”

"Who will rob you."

Mo Qingdai also said angrily, and gave the second sister Qing Qiang the duck wings of the duck in sauce, and put one in a bowl, "This duck wing is similar to the chicken wing, and I'll give it to you too, so we'll grab it from you."

"There are still duck legs, why are you so anxious, Dongwa, you and the boy like each other."

Grandma takes care of everyone's meals, and no one is polite. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can't say too many words of refusal. It's unlucky. Grandma Cui can only sit with everyone at the same table with tears in her eyes and a smile. God's restraint.

"Uncle, I haven't been back for so long, I still miss your fried meatballs the most."

Mo Qingdai picked up several meatballs in a row, and they were delicious. The meatballs contained some shrimp oil and ginger. This is my aunt's unique secret recipe. Most people don't know how to eat it. Shrimp oil in Fengyang City It is not common to sell it, and it is far away from the sea. In this era, the transportation is not developed, and there are few opportunities to eat seafood here.

"If you want me to say, it's rare to eat spinach and garlic sprouts during the Chinese New Year. Those old men from big families in the city can't get it. The vegetables shipped from the south were robbed as soon as they arrived in Fengyang City. It's just that our family planted them this year. It’s too late, if there are more varieties, it’s worth a lot of money.”

The second aunt had stayed in a big family, so she knew the market very well, and she was very sensible when she talked about it, but there was not so much space in the house, and even if there were boxes on the kang, it would not be enough to grow much, only enough for the family to eat.

"The vegetables in this winter are very expensive, and they must be carefully served. The kang can't be too hot, and it can't be too cold. It's also the first time for us to plant, and we still have no experience with Li girl."

My aunt talked about growing vegetables, and the family only grew garlic sprouts and spinach. Qingli’s family added tomatoes and eggplants, and a box of green peppers. Now they are all fruited, but they are not yet ripe. This is still used by Qingli. The result of watering with diluted spiritual spring water.

"Girl Dai, this time when you come back, if you want to eat meatballs, just say, it's okay to make a meal from time to time."

People in the village can’t eat fried meatballs a few times a year, unless they catch up with weddings or celebrations or Chinese New Year, the main fried meatballs are very oily, and most people are reluctant to put a few drops in cooking, let alone fried things.

After a meal, everyone was lively, at the man's table, the uncle and the second uncle were admiring the wine again, pushing glasses and changing glasses, sitting together, thinking about the days of the coming year, the grains will be plentiful, the world will be peaceful, and nothing bad will happen , the family can continue to live in harmony.

When it was time to light the lamp after a meal, everyone was still unsatisfied. The uncle brought some hot tea and dried fruit, and the grandfather took the uncle and the others to drink tea to hangover. They also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and chatted while eating. This time the main speech He is the second uncle, and he has seen the world working in a big family in Fengyang City, so he talked about his experience in Fengyang City, and also talked about the luxurious life of those rich masters and wives.

After listening to a few words, Qing Li felt bored, those so-called extravagances were just a drop in the bucket to her, there were so many luxury items in the space, it would be no problem to buy Fengyang City, and she didn't envy the life of those rich families at all.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside the window became louder, and the little disciple Xi and Dongwa held hands and went out for a run. Qingli also wanted to go out to feel the atmosphere of the New Year in Mojia Village.

"Little sister, look at what I made and let you play with it."

The third elder brother Mo Zisong came in excitedly. After seeing Qingli, he took out what he held in his hand like a treasure. It was a round ice lump with a hole cut in the middle, and a red candle was stuck inside. , surrounded by strong ropes, and the handle is a small wooden stick.

This should be the legendary ice lantern. Qingli remembers playing with similar ones when she was a child. Sometimes she put candles in cans, but if you don’t pay attention, the cans will break, so it has been improved to use orange peels. small orange lights.

"This is so fun!"

As Qingli said, she also pulled the handle and took it outside. The candle was thin and had a faint light, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night, and the smiling face that reflected her also became a warm color.

"Fourth sister, this ice lantern is so beautiful, it should be pasted with red paper-cuts around it!"

As soon as Qingli came out, the little disciple Xi dragged Dongwa to surround her, "Fourth sister, don't go too fast, the wind will blow out the candle."

The third elder brother Mo Zisong's eyes were shining, full of longing, Qing Li understood what he meant, smiled and praised a few words, which made the third elder brother happy.

On New Year's Eve, we have to watch the year, and the new year is after the child time. The women in the family are not free at this time after the meal. After cleaning up the dishes, they have to make bread dumplings. In the shape of ingots, it symbolizes the wealth of money in the coming year, which is a good omen.

Xiaowa gets tired easily after arguing for a while, Zixi and Dongwa lie side by side on the kang in the main room, sleeping soundly, Qingli looks down at her little brother's bun face, really wants to pinch it, nutrition keeps up , the younger brother's face is white and chubby, his skin is tender, with baby fat on his face, he breathes evenly, and there is glistening saliva around his mouth.
