Chapter 109 Chinese New Year

Xiao Hong had already thought of a countermeasure. Even if one day Xiao Jianhua and the others discovered that the braised food was not as good as theirs, they would only think it was because their stepfather had left it behind.

When she saw Liu Meijuan giving Xiao Yuhang the meatiest bone to chew, her eyes flashed: "Dad, cut it into three plates for me. I will send one plate to Mistress Mistress and her family."

Xiao Jianhua responded and began to cut the braised pork head.

His parents are gone, and his brother is no longer in the village. If something happens at home, his cousins ​​will really have to help.

Besides, his uncles and aunts have been kind to him over the years.

Not to mention, their family will build a house in the second half of the year, thanks to their help.

When the Xiao sisters and Xiao Jianhua went to deliver the braised pork, Liu Meijuan pushed her son who was chewing the bones and complained dissatisfied: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. I don't know about asking you to follow your father to grow a face."

go."

Xiao Yuhang's stomach was full from eating, but he still couldn't bear to stop, and said unhappily: "They are not nice to me, they don't even give me toffee!"

After saying that, he took the bones and ran away.

Liu Meijuan had heard from her daughter before that the Xiao sisters took lavish cigarettes and toffee to visit three other houses to pay New Year greetings.

Thinking that they had given nothing to her children, she also grimaced: "These two little hooves came to hit me in the face on purpose."

Then he looked at his daughter and asked, "Have you memorized her braised food techniques?"

If her daughters knew how to do it, she would want them to leave quickly and not want to serve them anymore.

"I've written it down, but I'm still not sure about the amounts of each of her seasonings." Lou Fenfang advised her: "Mom, don't worry, let her teach me next time, so I know what to do."

After saying that, I felt a little worried: "It's just these days. I'm afraid there won't be any fresh pig heads to buy at the market, right?"

When Liu Meijuan thought that the market would not open until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she really didn't want to let the Xiao sisters stay for so long, and she couldn't sit still anymore: "I went out to ask, I remember that the Yinmei family killed a pig yesterday, and they couldn't sell the pig heads.

.”

Now almost every household in the village raises pigs.

When the New Year pig is killed, some people keep all the meat, boil some of the fat meat into lard, and marinate the four legs and some knives into bacon, which can be eaten throughout the year.

There are also some people who sell most of their pork, so that they can have one or two hundred yuan more in their hands, which can be enough for a frugal family for a while.

But this also causes the price of pork to be lower during the Chinese New Year.

Also, pig heads are troublesome to make, so they can’t be sold.

Liu Meijuan went around the village and actually bought two pig heads.

Although they have all been salted, they have only been salted for two or three days. Change the water a few times and soak them overnight. It should be almost done.

In the afternoon, Xiao Jianjun came back carrying a bag.

Xiao Jianhua was surprised and asked: "Brother, why are you coming back by yourself? Why haven't my sister-in-law and Haodong come back?"

The Xiao family probably has twin genes.

Not only Wu Julan gave birth to twin daughters, but Xiao Jianjun’s wife also gave birth to twin boys.

But Xiao Jianjun was so envious. He thought that his wife could give him two sons, but who knew that he would give birth to two daughters instead.

After Xiao Jianjun put down his bag, he visited the new house inside and out: "She has to be on duty during the Chinese New Year. There is no holiday. Haonan also has to be on duty. Haodong and the others are talking to the second grandmother and the others at the entrance of the village."

After he finished speaking, he looked at his younger brother curiously: "I heard that Julan and the others opened a shop to sell braised food and made money? And Xiao Hong taught you how to make braised food?"

"Even you know about it?" Xiao Jianhua's mouth twitched. In a small rural village, if there is something rare, it will be quickly spread to everyone.

Xiao Jianjun couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Hong still loves you, but it's a pity that our mother left too early and didn't get to enjoy the blessing of her eldest granddaughter."

He then advised him: "Don't be too patriarchal. It's best to get Xiao Hong back, like our eldest sister, how kind and filial she is to our grandma!"

"You are like this. You have a stepmother and a stepfather. How can you be so confused?"

Xiao Jianjun cannot say that he treats his daughter better than his son, but he is not as patriarchal as his younger brother.

As soon as he entered the village, his second and third aunts and some aunts in the village dragged him to complain. During the summer vacation, Xiao Jianhua was arrested for gambling. Now his wife wanted to marry Xiao Hong to a second-rate man in exchange for a bride price. Wu Julan came to take Xiao Hong away.

Come on, Xiao Hong is still very conscientious enough to come back and teach Xiao Jianjun how to make braised meat...

He is far away. Now my mother is gone and she has not even come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I really don’t know that my brother’s family is in such trouble.

And his wife doesn't want to come back, so she looks down on her current sister-in-law.

Anyway, he is now very glad that his wife has not come back, otherwise after hearing this, he may not be able to live a stable life this year.

Xiao Jianhua did not dare to be arrogant in front of his elder brother. He blushed a little: "I know, I didn't expect her to be so confused."

At this time, he couldn't help but secretly be glad that he was not at home at that time, otherwise he would be afraid of being beaten now.

When two families are together, there are so many people and it’s so lively.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, seven dishes were placed on the Eight Immortals' table. Today, everyone will worship at home.

When the worship was finished, the yellow paper ingots were burned and firecrackers were set off, the bowls and chopsticks on the Eight Immortals table were put away, and Liu Meijuan and her daughter began to make dinner.

This is not because she doesn't want the Xiao sisters to help in the kitchen, but because she wants to leave a good impression in front of Xiao Jianjun.

She was also a little afraid of this eldest brother, and the look on her face made people feel frightened.

The dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of whom are different.

Xiao Haodong graduated from medical school and is now an intern. He doesn't talk much, but he has a good temper. When they met, he first asked them about their studies with concern.

Xiao Haonan doesn't like studying. He went to work before graduating from high school. Now he is with his father at the railway bureau and he didn't come today. After all, during the Chinese New Year, there are so many people on the railway that it's like squeezing dumplings.

Xiao Mengqiu was still studying at the medical university. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, he was not unfamiliar with them. He even deliberately told ghost stories to scare Xiao Hong and the others.

While the adults were away, Xiao Mengqiu sat between Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang, hugged them on the left and right and asked in a low voice: "Is your stepfather really nice to you?"

She stared at Xiao Hong with a look of doubt on her face: "I remember last year during the Chinese New Year, your cooking skills were average. Is it because you are not in school at all now? Your stepfather makes you work in the kitchen every day, so you learned how to braise pig heads.

?”

Xiao Hong couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, your imagination is really rich, isn't it?"

Xiao Jianjun's three children's parents had to work when they were young, so they were sent to the countryside to live with their grandma during winter and summer vacations, and they were indeed relatively close to Xiao Hong.

They never came again during the summer vacation until grandma passed away.

Therefore, Xiao Mengqiu felt a little sorry for Xiao Hong. She felt that if she had come back to accompany Xiao Hong during the summer vacation, she would not have almost had an accident.
