Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 178 Happy New Year
"Ahem." Tian Xiaoyu was startled by Aunt Ye's voice, and immediately escaped from Gu Yunqing's arms, her whole face was flushed like a ripe apple.

Gu Yunqing was also quite embarrassed.

But how could Auntie Ye be any better? She looked down for a while, and then said, "Well, I, Xiaoyu, I just came to ask you what to eat tomorrow?"

"Ma'am, I don't care. I will eat whatever you eat." Tian Xiaoyu's face was as hot as a fire, and her voice was a little weaker.

Aunt Ye smiled awkwardly, "Well, that's good." After finishing speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave.

But after thinking about it, he still said to Gu Yunqing, "Yunqing, why don't you go to the guest room, Xiaoyu, this is the critical time."

Although what I said was cryptic, the meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, you are not allowed to have intercourse.

How could Gu Yunqing be willing to leave his daughter-in-law? He couldn't sleep well if he didn't hold Tian Xiaoyu in his arms at night. He hurriedly said, "Ma'am, I have a sense of proportion. Don't worry, I'll sleep here. When the fish gets up at night, I can still light the lamp for her."

When Aunt Ye thought about it, she didn't say anything more. Originally, it was difficult for her to talk about the matter of the young couple.

After Aunt Ye left, Tian Xiaoyu punched Gu Yunqing on the shoulder, and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault, I made Auntie laugh."

"How could it be, the aunt also misses our love and affection." Gu Yunqing wrapped her small fist with a big hand, and her voice was as gentle as water.

Seeing that it was going to be thirty nights, the ice cellar had been made long ago, and the meat was frozen in it. Pots of stewed meat were also filled, and some were sent to Liu Yingchun's house, some to Aunt Fu's house, and some to Aunt Fu's house. I also sent some to Wang Hu and his family.

Waking up on the morning of the New Year's Eve, there was chattering outside and inside the house. It sounded lively. Tian Xiaoyu got up and put on a brand new red padded jacket and went out. It turned out that everyone was hanging red silk and lanterns in the courtyard.

Aunt Ye called Tian Xiaoyu into the main room, and said that she was cutting window grilles, and the glazed windows were pasted with bright red grilles, which would be the most beautiful.

Tian Xiaoyu has been lethargic lately, and is always the last to wake up. Hearing Mrs. Ye's orders, there will be no delay, so she hurriedly cuts.

But she is not very good at this window grille, Aunt Ye taught it by hand several times before she has learned it.

"Auntie, why do you know everything?" Tian Xiaoyu turned over the red paper in his hand, and carefully cut it out with scissors, fearing that if a petal was not too small, he would cut the petals wrong.

Aunt Ye's skills are very skilled. She cut the window grilles and said slowly, "My mother and mother-in-law taught it. This will be passed down from generation to generation. In the future, you will also teach your daughter."

When Tian Xiaoyu heard this, she nodded, then tilted her head and said to Qiaomei, "Qiaomei, study hard, and I will pass it on to your daughter in the future."

"Sister-in-law, you're bullying me again. I'm not married yet, so you talk about a girl. I think it's not bad for you to have a girl." Qiaomei was teased by her, her eyes became anxious, and she didn't choose what to say.

When Aunt Ye heard this, she scolded, "Hey, what are you talking about, this baby must be a son."

Tian Xiaoyu knew that the people here were patriarchal, and he could guess it by looking at how the original owner was treated at home.

But she didn't care. Aren't her sons and daughters born by herself?What's the difference.

Tian Xiaoyu smiled lightly, and said disapprovingly, "It's fine as a girl, I like girls, and I don't think I like peach blossoms from my aunt's house."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye thought of Taohua's obedient appearance, she nodded approvingly, and said, "That's true, but there are two boys in the family, so this girl looks a bit precious."

"Hmph, mother, what did you say, the princess is not precious?" Qiaomei was not happy when she heard this, she was an only daughter.

"Fart, can you compare with the princess? What about the capital thousands of miles away, can we compare? The princess is naturally precious, but she is definitely not as precious as the prince!" Aunt Ye was not reconciled to Qiaomei's rebuttal. Show weakness and argue.

Tian Xiaoyu looked at the blushing and thick necks of the two mothers, and quickly persuaded, "It's all good, each has its own good, this child has made grandma and aunt quarrel before even a word, it's really a formidable one. "

When the two heard this, they were both amused.

Yuan Bao followed Gu Yunqing to hang lanterns in the courtyard. The lanterns were made by Gu Yunqing himself a few days ago, and he knew how to weave bamboo baskets, let alone the lantern frame. , it's pretty good.

Qiaomei took the boiled paste and pasted the window grilles. This couplet was sent by Xiao Lezi two days ago to give money. She said it was written by shopkeeper Xie herself. Now, it happened to be pasted together.

Aunt Ye followed Tian Xiaoyu to work on the New Year's Eve dinner. It was only noon, and every household was full of cooking smoke.

Tian Xiaoyu cut up the sauce fish, cut up the marinated pig ears and pig tails, put them on a plate, and steamed them all in a pot.

For this New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Yunqing specially went to basket fish and came back.

In this icy and snowy place, it is even more convenient to fish in a basket. Make a hole in the ice and put some crumbs of steamed buns in the fish basket, and the fish will take the bait by itself.

In the winter, of course it is braised fish. Tian Xiaoyu's cooking skills are the best. Although Mrs. Ye can't bear to make her work too hard, she can't be careless for such an important New Year's Eve dinner, so she only keeps a few hard dishes Do it for Tian Xiaoyu.

The chickens in the backyard could have been killed for food long ago, and just in time for the Chinese New Year, two chickens and a duck were directly slaughtered.

These ducks were bought before and kept for the Chinese New Year, so they will naturally not be forgotten on New Year's Eve.

When it was getting late, the kitchen was even more busy. Qiaomei ran to both sides of the main kitchen room, Tian Xiaoyu's shovel and Ye Auntie's kitchen knife never stopped.

Braised fish, white-cut chicken, crispy duck meat slices, sauce fish, braised pork, fried three delicacies, green pepper bacon, salt and pepper pork ribs, amber walnuts, a bowl of Sixi meatball soup, all served on the table Go, when these delicacies are put on the table, Yuan Bao will already be drooling by the table.

When Qiaomei was busy bringing food into the house, Gu Yunqing also hung firecrackers under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Before the primer was lit, the firecrackers from other houses in the village had already exploded.

This family can't be left behind, Gu Yunqing hurriedly took the long incense and lit the primer, ran far away, stood on the steps of the courtyard dam and watched the red firecrackers bloom and crackle, as if announcing a new One year, another new beginning.

Yuan Bao covered his ears and ran to stand beside Gu Yunqing. Snowflakes slowly floated in the sky, making the New Year's atmosphere even more intense.

The fiery red lanterns are hung high, the crackling sound of firecrackers, the steaming New Year’s Eve dinner on the table in the house, and the beautiful and beautiful family. Is there anything happier than this?
