Chapter 29 New Year's Eve

A good night of dreams.

In the morning, I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside. Although it was not yet the official New Year's Day, there were many people returning to their hometown to worship ancestors or villagers worship ancestors and visiting graves, so the sound of firecrackers has not stopped during this period. There are also small firecrackers for children to have fun, forming one of the most lively main themes in the village.

Lu Jingyan didn't have to go to the town these days. There was a man at home. The weather happened to be good, so he asked Lu Jingyan to find some cypress branches and set up a shelf in the backyard, put the sausages that were poured yesterday on the shelf and hung them, and then started to smoke the sausages.

Thinking about how much meat there was, he said to Lu Jingyan that he was careless about the sausages, so he went to the kitchen to make bacon again.

After adding salt and pepper, stir-fry the star anise over low heat until the salt turns slightly yellow before pressing the heat. Then, when the pot has almost cooled, put a few pieces of meat in it.

After applying several pieces of meat evenly, I found a large basin that had been filled with sausage meat yesterday. After finishing my work, I returned to the backyard. Seeing Lu Jingyan sitting upright, I couldn't help but walk forward with a funny look, "Are you sitting like this?"

"You said you should pay attention to it." Lu Jingyan answered very seriously.

Chaole also has a headache for men who are too persistent and serious at times, but he cannot say that he is wrong. Is it wrong for others to be serious?

I didn't even bother with this issue. I took a look at the place where the sausage was not a problem, so I pulled the man to stand up, "This stool is too short and you are too tall, so it feels like I'm huddling on the ground all the time. It's very uncomfortable."

"What did you do just now?" Without answering Chaole's question, he asked her why she had disappeared for so long.

Thinking of the results of her busy life just now, she immediately smiled heavily and kept silent at Lu Jingyan, "I've gone to make the things, and I'll smoke bacon here again in a few days."

Bacon?

Lu Jingyan has never heard of it, but he now firmly believes that Chaole's craftsmanship is all made of delicious things.

So in the next few days, until the day before the Chinese New Year, both of them stayed at home to smoke sausages and bacon.

When Aunt Li came to the door, the two of them happened to come out of the backyard.

"What are you two doing?" As we approached, we asked about the smell on both of them. We couldn't help but wonder. Both of them didn't farm, and at most they just cooked the meals they ate themselves, so why did they get so smoky all over their bodies?

The things have not been done yet, so Chaole just said simply, "Make some bacon and eat it."

The old man is not curious. This year, New Year's Eve, every household is reunion festival. Lu Jingyan has been in the village for three years. This is the third Spring Festival. Although he was rejected the first two times, this time the old man still came to invite the two of them.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we really won't go. The backyard is still smoked and we can't leave anyone." She glanced at the man next to her. Anyway, she felt what Lu Jingyan thought at this moment, so she came forward to refuse the old man's kindness. Then she remembered something, and hurried into the kitchen to cut a large pot of crispy meat for Aunt Li. "It's not something valuable, it's just a layer of fried meat with sweet potato flour. I'll call it crispy meat. You can take it home and let a few brothers and sister-in-law taste it."

Aunt Li was so angry, but she was very happy in her heart. She had no relatives and no reason but got along well with Lu Jingyan Chaole. She didn't lack meat at home during the New Year. She thought about bringing them a few dishes later. Anyway, the same was true for the past two years, so she brought a bowl of crispy meat back.

But I didn’t expect that a bowl of crispy meat was served on the New Year’s Eve dinner. Before I finished the other dishes, a bowl of crispy meat was killed first.

The three sons, daughters-in-law and several grandchildren all went home. Aunt Li was very happy. Although there was a large pot of crispy meat, she only had two pieces of it. It was crispy and crispy. The two tables were still unsatisfied with people. Several grandchildren all licked their mouths and looked very greedy, which made Aunt Li feel a headache.

"Mom, did that girl make this food again?" The second daughter-in-law of the Li family asked her mother-in-law with a smile.

In the past few months, the Li family's sons will come back to see their old mother when they are empty. Except for Li, the husband of Liu Yue, who has seen Chaole, no one has seen it before, but it does not affect everyone's curiosity about Chaole. After all, the changes at home are also the delicious and novel foods that have never been heard of.

"Yes, that girl was very polite. She wanted to let her and Jing Yan go home to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, but she still refused as two years ago." Aunt Li was disappointed in this regard.

Lu Jingyan and the Li family are all familiar with each other, and they also know that their mother likes Lu Jingyan very much, and they almost treat him as another son to take care of him. However, this Chao girl who had only been in the village for a few months made them very curious.

The Spring Festival is the most important and most important festival in China throughout history. On the first day of the new year, every household is decorated with lights and colorful lights. The sound of firecrackers sounded throughout the sky. The whole quiet village became fresh in an instant. People with conditions basically changed into new clothes and shoes, which meant the new year. The good will continue to be good, and the bad will be thrown away and started again.

Chaole's hometown has the custom of eating dumplings on the Spring Festival morning, so she made glutinous rice flour, poured warm water into the glutinous rice flour into the dough and woke up for a quarter of an hour, and then made sesame and white sugar as filling.

Aunt Li came to the house because Chaole and Lu Jingyan had just finished eating dumplings. They also brought two children, including Xiao Awen, and the other one was not recognized.

"Why are you giving it to me again?" Looking at the red envelopes that Lu Jingyan handed to his two grandsons around him, the old man waved his hand to stop him, and his face also sank.

"It's just a form, my heart, I hope the children will grow up healthily, you can't refuse this." Looking at the old man's stern face, Lu Jingyan was not afraid at all and spoke in an orderly manner.

The two children were so happy that they received the red envelopes. After hearing Lu Jingyan's words, they obediently took the red envelopes from several future brothers and sisters at home.

Looking at the children's happy smiling faces, Aunt Li's eyes were filled with gentle smiles, and she rubbed her two grandchildren's heads, "Isn't thank you for your uncle and aunt yet."

"Thank you uncle and aunt." The two children smiled and were extremely cute.

Chaole knew about the several red envelopes prepared by Lu Jingyan last night. In the years here, Lu Jingyan was very clear about how many children there were in Aunt Li’s family. There were not many children with one child, but calculating the purchasing power of this era, two copper plates can buy one egg, and twenty copper plates can buy ten eggs. For the people in the village, this is definitely a big red envelope, and for the children, this is definitely a "huge sum".
