Chapter 941:
The little Lolita said she wanted to give flowers to her new mother as a gift. Lan San wanted to cover his face. Oh my god, the captain’s heart must be so cool!
"No, no, how can you give away the flowers that others gave you? You can do whatever you want." Zhou Qiufeng almost stopped laughing. People as smart as Xiao Lele will occasionally be confused, and the handsome guy will definitely be heartbroken.
Yan Xing's heart was not broken. Anyway, the flowers belonged to the little Loli. She could give them to whomever she wanted. To be honest, if the little Loli wanted to stroke the petals and take a bath, he would be happy to do it for her so as not to prick the little Loli. Delicate and slender jade fingers.
Le Yun also knew that Aunt Feng couldn't accept the bouquet, so she carried the flowers to the door and put them on the ground. She went to get her mobile phone to take pictures, then found a bamboo basket and put it in the place facing the door for decoration. Needless to say, the red bouquets placed there made the whole place look brighter.
Dad Le was surprised for a while when he saw the big bouquet, and secretly ran to wrap a red envelope for his wife as a Valentine's Day gift. Zhou Qiufeng felt embarrassed and sweet at the same time.
Before breakfast, Young Master Yan and Lan San unpacked the things they had brought back. There were two sets of large boxes inside small boxes, including refined flour, red dates and several kinds of melon seeds.
The Le family only had two fresh-keeping boxes that little Loli brought back from Kyoto to pack toast. They were not enough, and they didn’t buy any on the rural streets. Young Master Yan went to the county town to bring back two sets, which were enough for Little Loli to pack dumplings and bread. It is convenient to wear konjac even when you return to Beijing.
Le Yun did not "sympathize" with Handsome Yan because he gave her flowers, and still sent him to work. She soaked the beans last night, and Handsome Yan and Handsome Lan's morning job was to grind tofu.
The two handsome guys took the job and happily went to work in the backyard.
Classmate Le also had something to do. He took out tools and raw materials and learned to make cakes. He used sorghum flour, glutinous rice flour, dragon claw corn flour, buckwheat flour and a small amount of rice flour and flour as the main ingredients, and added some broken kernels such as melon seeds, peanuts, and pine nuts. , as well as red dates, raisins and other ingredients. The method is to add ingredients while steaming. A layer of mixed flour of glutinous rice and rice flour, a layer of sorghum flour, a layer of buckwheat flour. Once the layer is cooked, add another portion of ingredients. Layer upon layer.
The cake was steamed in a steaming bucket, and the steaming was not completed until nearly noon. When it was finished, it was removed from the oven and taken out of the steaming bucket. Le's father Zhou Qiufeng and the two handsome guys were stunned to see it. Regardless of the taste, the cake was so beautiful.
The fragrance is also very strong.
Several adults were wandering around the steamed cake, but they still couldn't control their greed. They used a knife on it and cut it into a section about seven or eight inches high from the bottom. They were reluctant to cut it from the top because there was a hole on the top. Dome, beautiful graphics made of ingredients like red dates.
Cut the cake into fan-shaped pieces and give each person one piece. The cake is soft, more condensed than cake, soft and sweet, and powdery particles fall off when you bite it.
"Lele, this is delicious, can you steam another one?" Lele's father ate a piece and discussed it with his girl very cutely.
"Dad, I want to order some tofu this afternoon." She has a father who is a foodie, and Le Yun is helpless. Is this a try? It's still a bit hot.
"Give me some tofu and I'll make the tofu." Le's father rushed to work.
"Dad, you have to kill chickens, ducks and geese in the afternoon, and you have to go to the bamboo craftsman's house to help me get bamboo film and bamboo tubes." "
Let the handsome guys help kill the chickens and ducks, and your aunt will help get the things, and I will make tofu."
"Dad, save it. Just do your business. I'll make something smaller in the afternoon." "
Okay, little cotton-padded jacket must keep your word."
Little cotton-padded jacket agreed to make cakes again. Dad Le was happy and decisive. He divided up the whole layer of cake.
Yan Xinglan San was also overjoyed. The little Loli is a gourmet, and the variety of delicacies she prepared are really unique and delicious!
In order to eat delicious food, the two handsome guys were also very diligent. In the afternoon, they helped light the fire, kill chickens and ducks, etc. When the little loli steamed a cake that was only half as high as in the morning, they helped wash the pot and boil water to make soy milk. , help with filtering, little Loli stood by to direct, order brine, and make soft tofu and tofu curd.
Classmate Le finished ordering the tofu and boiled the marinade to make the pickled pepper feet. The Le family had saved all the chicken feet from killing chickens after August 15th. They killed dozens of chickens when the new building was topping out. They saved enough feet to make them. A medium-sized crisper full.
Young Master Yan eats delicious food and drinks at Little Loli's house every day, and is as happy as a god. Yan Lao stays at home, and the closer the New Year is, the more desolate he feels. On the 28th of the New Year, Aunt Jin is asked to go home to reunite with her relatives, and he keeps the coldness alone. house.
Seeing that it was the twenty-ninth year of the year and his grandson still hadn't come back, he knew that his grandson really would not return to Beijing. He felt sad. In the middle of the afternoon, he received a call from his grandson, asking him to pack some change of clothes and pick him up outside the compound. It was the Chinese New Year, and Mr. Yan packed up his clothes shakily and went to the courtyard to wait. Sure enough, someone came to pick him up soon. He got in the car and followed them.
The person who went to pick up Mr. Yan was Brother Xiao Bingbing. He took Mr. Yan’s grandfather to Mr. Yan’s private home and celebrated the New Year with them.
For the first time, Mr. Yan knew that his grandson had a small courtyard that he didn't know about. He knew that it was the property that his old wife and beloved daughter had helped his son to buy privately. He felt even more heartbroken and regretful. Fortunately, his grandson was willing to have someone take him to the small courtyard. The Chinese New Year made him feel that he was not completely abandoned.
Brother Xiao Bing and Brother Dai Bing did not go out to hang out because they were about to celebrate the New Year. The small courtyard was also very lively.
The annual New Year's Eve also comes with people's expectations, and every household in urban and rural areas is busy celebrating the New Year.
New Year's Eve is here, and people in Plum Village get busy early in the morning. If there is anything they haven't done yet, they should do it quickly, so as not to delay the things of the previous year into the New Year, which would be a bad omen.
The Le family was busy making steamed buns and steamed buns early in the morning, while the girls from the Le family were busy making pancakes. After a long day of work, they packed up some items and went up the mountain with the Zhou family to celebrate the passing of their elders.
Last year, the Le family was a family of three, but this year there are more children. The four of them, a husband, a wife, a son and a daughter, make up two good characters.
When they arrived at the mountain, the Zhou family and the Le family separated. The Le family went to pay tribute to their four ancestors. Le's father remembered that his father was killed by a villain, and he knelt in front of the tomb. With great difficulty, he was persuaded by his wife and daughter to accept his grief. , to pay homage to grandparents.
After worshiping the mountain, the Le family went home first.
The two handsome guys did not follow them to the mountain. Instead, they went to the lotus root pond in the village to fish out some lotus roots. They cleaned and drained some of the Le family's furniture and moved it to the balcony on the second floor to dry in the shade. When the Le family's family of four returned, they helped make New Year's stew. Meat eaten at night.
Busy and busy, half a day passed by in a flash. Around five o'clock in the afternoon, every household began to worship gods and ancestors, and the sound of firecrackers came and went.
The Le family also offered sacrifices to the gods and ancestors after five o'clock, then fed the chickens, ducks and geese, cleaned up inside and outside, washed their hands, and sat around the stove to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
When having a meal with the family, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng must let the girl sit in the middle so that he can pick up food for her. Since there are two handsome guys visiting at home, it cannot be made family-oriented, otherwise it will appear to be exclusive. Let the girl sit with the two handsome guys. The couple sat next to each other. Xiao Leshan didn't want his father or mother to hold him, but his sister.
It is necessary to drink some wine on New Year's Eve. Leyun will open a few bottles of the more than 60-year-old red wine obtained from country F and drink it.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, doesn't know much about red wine. After tasting it, Yan Shao and Lan San praised it and ate a few bites of the food. Yan Xing and Lan San greeted the hosts and thanked them for their warm hospitality. Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, drank a glass and returned the favor.
Le Yun didn't do that, and even took the vaccine fiercely: "Brother Yan, I'm the first to say something ugly. In the first month of the year, don't be too greedy. I'll try my best not to yell at you. If you find it yourself, you can't. You can't blame me, I'll still beat you no matter it's the first month or February." "
I understand, I try to keep my mouth shut and not be greedy. If you can't hold it back, I'll beat you up. I won't hold a grudge against you. Yan Xing showed a cute smile: "Little loli, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, let's make steamed cakes again?" "
Foodie, you are looking for scolding." Le Yun really wanted to slap someone in Feiyan.
"Little Lolita, don't be angry. Come, eat a piece of meat, and you will grow ten centimeters in the future." Yan Xing saw that something was wrong, and immediately cleverly gave the little Lolita a piece of pig's ear.
Yanren's words were very pleasant to the ears, but Leyun let him go, glared at him angrily, and settled the matter.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, laughed so hard that the muscles on his face were sore. When he saw that little Lele didn't hit handsome boy Yan, he laughed and shouted, "Eat food, eat food."
Lan San looked at the captain scolding him, but he didn't say anything and tried his best to enjoy the warmth of home.
In addition to the large pieces of pork that every family must have, Lejia's New Year's Eve dinner also has side dishes such as a eight-treasure goose, a bamboo tube chicken, braised fish and seafood, pork liver, etc.
I ate a few large pieces of meat, switched to goose meat, chicken and fish, tried a little of each, ate slowly, and chatted slowly. Most of the time I listened to Yan Shuailin and Lan Shuaiguo say that they were in some places in other provinces. Characteristic New Year customs during the Chinese New Year.
The Le family's New Year's Eve dinner was a joyous one, and the whole family of Brother Zhou's family was also very happy. Basically, it can be said that most families in Plum Village had a very happy New Year's Eve, with the exception of Zhang's family.
The Zhang family consists of Grandma Zhang and Zhang Ke. There are no children in the family, so it seems particularly deserted. The mother and son are really orphans and widowed mothers. Even if the family is full of everything, it is boring.
Also enjoying the New Year's Eve dinner was Wu Jianye's family, young and old. Because Wu Jianguo was still unconscious and needed medical expenses, and Wu Lingling had to help fill the gap in the money she spent, Wu's father and Wu's mother had already listed their house in the city. They went out to resell, and people moved back to their hometowns.
When Father Wu and Mother Wu returned to their hometown, they naturally lived in the same house as their son. The building in the county town belonged to Wu Lingling, and the building in their hometown belonged to the brothers Wu Jianguo and Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye and Li Jiaojiao did not dare to say anything.
No matter how reluctant they are to go home, the children of Angkor also returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year. Their father is in a coma. If they don't go home even for the New Year, if some netizens deliberately target them and expose them, they will definitely be disappointed. The bad situation will be worsened and it will be difficult to move forward.
Other people's family celebrated the New Year by playing guessing games, which was very lively. After the great changes, the Wu family was shrouded in sorrow. Even if the whole family did not sigh, they were not in the mood to eat well, so they just ate hastily.
The Wu family was not having a good life, so the Le family's New Year's Eve dinner was lively and warm, and they ate for more than an hour before leaving in a hurry.
In the spirit of the fact that the handsome guys are guests after all, Le Xiao's classmates are quite loyal and don't let them wash the dishes. They clean up the dishes themselves, do good hygiene, get melon seeds to make tea, sit around and eat homemade food, and stay up late.
Sitting until ten o'clock, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng gave New Year's red envelopes to the children and young people, one for each person, including Xiao Leshan. The red envelopes were not many, each of them had three hundred and sixty-six, which represented success every day throughout the year.
Young Master Yan and Lan San were also interested in giving each of their hosts a red envelope to express good luck.
Le Xiao’s classmate happily received the red envelope, carried it and hid it, and then brought back a few bricks to give each to his father, new mother, and younger brother. However, the two handsome boys only had a small, bulging red envelope.
The little Loli gave a bulging red envelope, and Yan Xinglansan took it faster than grabbing it and put it in his hand. He was secretly overjoyed. The little Loli gave him pills, which were their personal share.
"Lele, you can't be partial." Lele's father blushed a little when he saw that little Lele didn't give Yan and Lan a big red envelope.
"Dad, you can't give these two handsome guys big red envelopes. Giving them a big brick is equivalent to bribing them. It's most appropriate for me to give them a few candies." The Le family father and daughter were talking about giving them red envelopes, and Lan San hurriedly responded
. Loli's words: "Uncle Le, the little beauty is right. We have discipline and cannot accept big red envelopes. We like the candies given by the little beauty the most." "Well, okay." Dad Le also knows how to stuff big red envelopes
. It might be really embarrassing for these two handsome guys, so I won’t force it.
Zhou Qiufeng opened Xiao Lele's filial piety red envelope. It was still the same as last year. Each of the adults received one hundred thousand, and Xiao Leshan's was sixty-six thousand. She took the money and put it in the bedroom to hide it.
After giving the New Year's money, the next step was to happily watch the New Year's Eve. At 11 o'clock, I drank a bowl of tofu, ate biscuits at 11:30, and drank healthy honey tea.
At twelve o'clock, it is the beginning of the 18th year. Fireworks take off in the cities and countryside, and there are fireworks everywhere.
The little loli didn't like fireworks, so Yan Xing and Lan San didn't waste money on them. They accompanied the young and old of the Le family to watch the sky outside for a while, then went back to sit inside, waiting for the sound of fireworks to gradually disappear, and went to rest happily.
Yan Xing was very excited because he successfully went home with the little Lolita to celebrate the New Year. He lay down and fell asleep, with a soft smile on his lips in his sleep.
Lan San is an orphan. He has no relatives or a home of his own. He is either spending the New Year in the army or away from home. It is not the first time to spend the New Year at someone else's house, but it is the happiest one because the owner of the Le family never regards him as an outsider. They treated them as juniors, and the little loli didn't treat them as outsiders, so she often attacked him and the captain. He was happy inside, and soon fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Leyun slipped back into the room and did not sleep. After her father, Aunt Feng, and the two handsome guys upstairs had fallen asleep, she got up lightly and went to the kitchen to make sea snail soup for the little fox.
A pot of soup simmered for two hours. After simmering, it was sent back to the space. He tiptoed back to the bedroom, climbed into the space, set up the table, took out the jade bowl, and divided the soup between the little fox and little Huihui.
She only drank a small cup. After finishing the soup, she left the pots alone. She took some space, put on a set of black clothes and rubber shoes, went out through the door leading to the eaves, locked the door from the outside, and felt in the dark. I didn't turn on the flashlight on the village road next to the house, so I ran along the road in the dark toward the back of the village.
She is going to do something big, and she must not let others know about the big thing that she has planned for a long time!
