Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 158

Upon hearing this, Lin Fansheng looked at the sky and said, "I see, it's going to rain in a while, you should lock the courtyard door first."

You Ran only nodded and replied: "Okay, then put on your hat, it's probably about to get off, don't get wet."

After Lin Fansheng responded again, he put the dishes on the small square table, walked through the small door, picked up the straw hat, and walked through the backyard to the small forest.

Lin Fansheng went to check the chicken coop, while Youran put the food on the table, then went to the yard to unbolt the gate, locked it, picked up the wolf cub who was looking for her, and strode into the main room again.

Then the door of the main room was closed, two candles were lit, and the windows of the warehouse on the west were closed, so as not to rain for a while, and the rainwater would splash in. You must know that the food inside is full of food, but it cannot touch the water.

Daju and Sanhua also came out of the room when they smelled the aroma of the rice, meowing loudly, and leisurely threw two pieces of dried pork to them to let them settle down.

Just after she finished serving the meal, Lin Fansheng also came back from the small forest.

"How is it? Is the chicken coop okay?" Leisurely said while dividing the chopsticks.

"It's okay, the chickens are here, I locked the door first, it's not too windy outside." Lin Fansheng put the straw hat away before replying.

"That's fine, come on, let's eat first?"

"Okay, I'll go and light the firecrackers first."

After saying that, Lin Fansheng took a small roll of firecrackers from the low wooden cabinet, smoked another stick of incense, and immediately went to the front yard.

The custom here is to light firecrackers before the New Year's Eve dinner to scare away those unclean things.

Through the small door of the main room, leisurely saw Lin Fansheng spreading out the firecrackers, so she quickly hugged the wolf baby, covered her ears with her hands, and followed the sound of crackling firecrackers, leisurely looked outside the yard, where the smoke Lin Fansheng, the two couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

The wolf baby was not overly frightened when his ears were covered, but he still leaned into Youran's arms, staring at the crackling sparks outside, and then covered the ground with red.

Daju and Sanhua were frightened and ran into the room, probably because they felt that there was a sense of security there.

After Lin Fansheng closed the small door of the main room, there was also the sound of firecrackers one after another not far away, and it must have been eaten.

This year, due to the bumper harvest, people paid the grain tax in the first half of the year and then caught up with the higher-ups to buy the grain they had with half of the money, plus doing casual labor in the town behind.

Apart from the recent unsettled times, the people in Lihua Village have some extra money and no shortage of food, so there are many more firecrackers that people can buy than in previous years.

All in all, it's been a good year.

Leisurely made a total of eight dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, which was hearty enough for three people.

They are steamed chicken, fried meatballs, braised fish, spicy fried cabbage, fried garlic sprouts with chili bacon, fried sausage, candied sweet potatoes, and a pork ribs tofu and radish soup.

The two big and small ate until their stomachs became round, Youran and Lin Fansheng stopped their chopsticks, and the wolf boy was still gnawing on a big chicken leg.

Leisurely knows that this child eats a lot, so let her do it, I am afraid that after eating this chicken drumstick, he will probably be a little full.

Leisurely put away the table first, while Lin Fansheng went to wash the dishes.

After the wolf baby gnawed the chicken legs clean, Youran just came back from the kitchen, took her small handkerchief, and wiped her mouth and hands.

The handkerchief was scalded with hot water, and the temperature was just right after walking all the way.

After the three of them were full, they had nothing to do, so they moved the candles from the main room to the room, which was very bright.

The charcoal basin was lit again, and a pottery pot of water was slowly boiled on it. After a while, you can make tea or milk tea when you are thirsty.

Daju and Sanhua are nestling in their little den, licking each other's wool.

Just now they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to leave the door of the room, so Leisurely picked out the chicken breast, tore it open and put it in their small plates for them to eat.

This part of the meat is relatively woody and not easy to taste, so it is not too salty, so they are also edible.

Now that they are full, they start to clean themselves according to their nature.

It's leisurely, and Lin Fansheng can say what leisurely says, if the gossip women in Lihua village know that leisurely feeds chickens to cats, they may be astonished and call her prodigal.

But leisurely is only tonight, so why would you feed them chicken every day on weekdays? After all, chicken is no better than others. At present, it is indeed considered a small luxury.

But other dried pork or pork liver, fish mixed with porridge and so on are indispensable for leisurely feeding, even if you feed them every day, you don't feel bad.

That's why these two are so slick, but they also try their best to guard the house, at least with them, Youran has never met a single mouse.

It was getting dark, and there was no sound of firecrackers outside, only the constant whirring of the wind.

In the room, Lin Fansheng was studying his books, while Youran and the wolf boy were nestled in the bed. Youran put his hands in the candlelight, using the light and shadow to make small animals, and successfully attracted the wolf boy.

After a while, Lin Fansheng was also attracted, and finally got on the bed.

The three of them kept warm under the quilt, and they were next to each other. The wolf boy was on the innermost side, Youran was in the middle, and Lin Fansheng was on the outermost side.

Fortunately, the quilt was big enough for three people to cover it. Leisurely taught one big and one small to do hand shadows.

Lin Fansheng is fine, after all, he is an adult and has a strong learning ability, so he will be able to teach him leisurely once or twice.

Although the wolf boy's learning ability is not bad, but after all, he doesn't understand the language, and he is still a child. Youran will teach him hand in hand, and he will be able to learn it a few times.

In the dim yellow candlelight, the shadows of the three people overlap, only the shadows of a few small animals are active, or dogs, or birds
After playing happily for a while, the three of them took a rest. They were planning to watch the new year leisurely, but it was too warm in the bed, so they fell asleep within a while.

The wolf baby played on its own for a while, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.

Lin Fansheng just opened his eyes, stood up, covered the two of them with the quilt, looked at Youran's sleeping face, couldn't help smiling, caught a glimpse of the wolf boy from the corner of his eye, and thought, if he and Youran had a child, it would probably be the same. This feeling is not bad.

Lin Fansheng looked at Youran attentively and tenderly for a long while, leaned over and kissed her, then fell asleep with his arms around her.

*
As a result, the three of them didn't sleep for too long when they were awakened by a rumbling sound.

Daju and Sanhua shuddered in fright, and got under the bed directly.

The wolf baby sat up in fright, and when Youran woke up, he hugged her into his arms, and Lin Fansheng also hugged her.

The three of them sat there, listening to the rumbling thunder outside and the crackling rain, a little dazed.

From time to time, a flash of lightning flashed across, illuminating the room brightly.

Leisurely through the half-closed window in front of the desk, she watched the branches of jujube trees in the front yard swaying to and fro by the strong wind, and the rain was also falling like it didn't cost money.

Lin Fansheng got out of bed and closed the window. After all, the charcoal basin was out.

When he returned to the bed, You Ran leaned towards him again with her arms around the wolf baby.

Lin Fansheng put his arms around Youran, frowned and glanced at the non-stop flashing lightning outside.

Leisurely also frowned, thunder in the first month is not a good sign.

After all, it is said that there is thunder in the first month, and there is a severe drought of [-]. This year, I am afraid it will be difficult.
