The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 492 New Year's Day (2)
"Ah?" The boy was taken aback by what he said, and didn't dare to look back, so he quickly followed him out.

As soon as the people left, Min Lansheng quickly got up and closed the kitchen door.

Turning around and seeing the posture of the lady who seems to have work to do, I can't help but feel distressed: "Take a rest, isn't it enough to eat? Why is the lady still busy?"

"I made this for Yuan Bao alone." Su Xiazhi lowered her head and kneaded a piece of dumpling dough on the chopping board, then rolled it out with a rolling pin: "Tomorrow's first day is Yuan Bao's birthday..."

"My son's birthday, my mother's hard day, now that her mother is gone, we have to make him a bowl of noodles!"

"Well, it should be!" If that woman was alive, Yuan Bao would surely be happy tomorrow, but now his husband and wife are talking in a low voice, Min Lansheng only feels that this topic is too heavy.

Su Xiazhi rolled out the small piece of dough on the chopping board to form a long strip, then took a brush and touched a thin layer of lard on the dough, then folded the dough in half and pressed it to death. Carefully rub it up...

"This is?" Min Lansheng looked at the lady's way of making noodles, and couldn't figure out what she was going to do, so she asked, "Is this making noodles?"

"That's right." Su Xiazhi nodded and said, "Great the middle with oil, and knead the noodles finely. This is made of hollow noodles. I'll cook this one in the pot tomorrow. It's a big bowl..."

"Hollow noodles..." Min Lansheng repeated it in a low voice, and immediately said sourly: "My husband has never eaten it!"

"Then, when you celebrate your birthday this year, I'll make it for you. Make as much as you want, okay?" Looking up at him with a smile, Su Xiazhi said as if fooling a child.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the lady's skill in pressing the box was taken out again, and it was not for himself, Min Lansheng felt sour in his heart, but thinking about Yuan Bao's pitiful life experience, he had no choice but to give up.

"On my husband's birthday, I have to eat more than spaghetti!" Letting go is giving up, but he didn't forget to bargain.

"What else do you want to eat? Tell me, as long as I know how to make it, I will make it for you!" Su Xiazhi said righteously.

"I still want to eat my wife!" He murmured in a low voice.

"Smelly shameless!" She raised her flour-covered hand as a gesture to hit...

Outside the kitchen, it was snowing all over the sky, and it was already extraordinarily beautiful wrapped in the silver clothes of the imperial capital.

In the kitchen, the warmth is warm, and the scholar is hugging his wife and "gnawing" and forgetting his feelings: "Anyway, it's just this time, and the lady will give it to me for the first time in the future... Even if it is the first time to make new food, I must first give it to me. Husband eats..."

Early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the courtyard of the Min family was full of joy and laughter!

The three little girls were wearing the same pink jacket and skirt, the same bun on their hair, and the same silver bells. They would make a crisp sound when they walked, making the room extraordinarily lively.

The buds with bells on their heads were bought by An Yi for them, and they are very valuable.

However, you get what you pay for, the money is spent, and when you wear it on the hair of the little girls, even Su Xiazhi can't help sighing: It's so beautiful!It makes the children look like dolls in the painting!

First set up an incense table to pay homage to the ancestors, Su Xiazhi wanted to go to the kitchen to boil water first, she opened the door and saw the door of the east wing just opened, and the servant was leading Yuan Bao who was also dressed in a new cotton robe walked out.

"Boss, you have auspicious new year!" The two of them met their faces, and the young servant hurriedly led Yuan Bao to her and pulled up his robe to salute.

Su Xiazhi grabbed him with both hands: "I wish you New Year's greetings too! But we don't like this, you know I'm the most shameful person to kneel..."

Yuan Bao, on the other hand, knelt down on the snow without hesitation and knocked his head on the ground. He straightened up with his bare head, but the dog fur hat fell on the snow: "Auntie, Yuan Bao also wishes you New Year's greetings!"

"It's cold on the ground, get up!" It seemed that the adults had taught the children in the house, so Yuan Bao kowtowed when he saw Su Xiazhi.

Su Xiazhi quickly bent down to pick up the dog fur hat that was buckled on the ground, patted Yuan Bao on it a few times, and then directly picked him up from the ground: "Your illness is not cured yet, don't kneel on the snow..."

While speaking, she glanced at the young man, and the two returned to the main room one after another.

Walking in front of Min Lansheng, Su Xiazhi stretched out her hand: "Give us the New Year's ingot first, and hope that this year we will be healthy, healthy, and grow tall and strong!"

Yuan Bao saluted Min Lansheng in Su Xiazhi's arms, and Min Lansheng patted his head, took out a red purse from the sleeve and handed it to the child: "Take it, get rid of the bad luck, good luck!"

In ancient times, New Year's money was actually dirty money... So Min Lansheng said a word of blessing to the child.

"Hey, my son has already put away everything first?" An Yi entered the house with a few things wrapped in red cloth in his hand, and waved to a few little girls, and the girls from the Min family hugged him together. In front of him, they saluted in a proper manner, and said in unison: "Mr. An, auspicious new year!"

The eyes of An Yi's smile were narrowed, and he immediately passed one of the things in his hand to each child: "Good luck! This is from Uncle An and your elder brother Shoucheng..."

An uncle, an elder brother... This generation...

Su Xiazhi shook her head, put the ingot on the ground, and asked him to play with her sisters in the main room, while she opened the door and went out to boil water to cook dumplings.

"Boss, I'll just light the fire." The servant followed her into the kitchen without saying a word.

"Not busy." Su Xiazhi looked outside, then took out a pouch from the armhole and handed it to the boy: "You have a share of this too!"

The boy was taken aback for a moment, but reached out to pick it up: "Give it to me? I'm already an adult..."

"My lord, you are a child to me!" Su Xiazhi said with a smile, "I gave you this red envelope alone, the biggest! Good luck!"

The boy tremblingly held the purse with the word "吉" embroidered on it, then slowly folded it up and hugged it to his chest. He lowered his head, speechless for a long time...

As far as he can remember, he has lived a life of ups and downs, and was sold by his parents at a very young age.
