When Yu Qing and Xiang Yisen came down from upstairs again, the boss of the Zhou family had already left.

"Grandma, have you left? Did you say anything?"

"Humbling, who knows what he wants to say? Even if he wants to say something, I won't give him a chance."

Grandma Ruan guessed that it might have something to do with the money. The granddaughter just moved here yesterday, and it hasn't been three days. She will not allow the boss of the Zhou family to say some inappropriate words, lest the granddaughter get into trouble.

"That's good." Yu Qing breathed out.

Everyone knows it well, but they just moved into a new home, and they don't want to make things too ugly between relatives.

The boss of the Zhou family didn't know what to say, they still had to worry about Zhou Jingfang's face, and there were some things they didn't want to talk about.

Han Xue asked, "What does this uncle do?"

"My family opened a restaurant."

"Is the business of their restaurant not good?"

This is also where Grandma Ruan couldn't figure it out and wondered, "I haven't been to their Zhou's restaurant since then, but from the few words Jing Fang usually chatted with, I heard that the business of their Zhou's restaurant seems to be good."

"A good business does not necessarily mean that they have made money. Maybe they can't manage it." Although Han Xue doesn't understand business, she knows that there are four words of poor management.

How the Zhou family's business is doing, as long as they don't bother her, Yu Qing doesn't bother to pay attention.

But Grandma Ruan and Han Xue didn't think so, and they were all guarding against the boss of the Zhou family visiting again for the next few days.Seeing their defensive appearance, Yu Qing was a little dumbfounded.

As a result, the boss of the Zhou family did not come to the door again on the fourth day.

After Laba at the end of the year, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, no matter in the city or in the countryside.

The diesel engine factory, diesel car factory and diesel tractor factory all have a lot of things waiting for Xiang Yisen to deal with, so it was impossible for him to stay in the provincial capital all year ago.

After moving into a new home, he stayed at home for three days. On the fourth day, Xiang Yisen bought an evening train ticket to take the train back to Yicheng.

"I'm not at home, you have to take care of yourself, and you have to worry about the children." Xiang Yisen watched his wife help pack the luggage, full of reluctance.

Yu Qing packed the suitcase, raised her head and smiled: "I have my mother-in-law, grandma and family to take care of me, so you can rest assured. But you, you must pay attention to rest and take care of yourself when you are alone in Yicheng."

"it is good."

Xiang Yisen raised the corners of his lips, and put the packed suitcase in the corner.

Yu Qing walked around in the bedroom and found nothing missing, so she let out a sigh of relief: "Then go down and have dinner, and let my dad drive you after dinner."

Xiang Yisen said worriedly: "Okay, when you usually drive the car at home, pay attention to safety and don't drive too fast."

The husband and wife have two cars in Yicheng, and this time they moved to a new house, Yu Qing's car with air conditioning was checked in early.

Now Xiang Yisen's car is in Yicheng, and Yu Qing's car is consigned to the provincial capital. There are cars on both sides, and it is convenient to travel on both sides.

At the dinner table, Ruan Xiuhua poured a small cup of medicinal wine for Mr. Ruan and Xiang Yisen, "You have to take the train back tonight, and I dare not let you drink too much, so just drink a small cup."

"What about me, brat, I won't go out at night!" Mr. Ruan protested, looking at the small glass of wine in front of him.

Grandma Ruan picked a piece of fish for him, and said angrily: "According to my opinion, for the sake of your health, you don't even drink this small cup, it would be better to just eat and eat vegetables."

Mr. Ruan brought the wine glass in front of him and hummed, not daring to say anything more.

Ruan Nan raised his hand and asked with a smile: "Grandma, grandpa, brother-in-law and dad drink, can we have soda?"

Grandma Ruan stared: "Drink soda at night, do you want to wet the bed at night?"

Now Ruan Nan stared blankly, his face flushed, he wanted to say that he wouldn't wet the bed, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't wet the bed when he fell asleep at night, so conflicted!
Qiao Jun also wanted to drink soda, so he asked Yu Qing in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, can I drink it if I don't know how to wet the bed?"

Yu Qing pinched the flesh on his cheek with a broken smile, "You can drink if you want, but to be on the safe side, we don't drink too much, how about sharing a bottle between the two?"

After all, she looked at Ruan Nan and Ruan Bei.

Ruan Nan applauded: "Listen to my sister."

Yu Qing asked the nanny to open a few bottles of soda, pour them into the cups, share a bottle between the two, each person is about half a cup of [-]ml, and they have almost digested it by the time they go to bed at night.

Except for those who drink, other adults refuse soda, mainly because the weather is too cold, and if you drink cold soda into your stomach, you are afraid that your stomach will not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, in the villa, Yu Qing bought two air-conditioning boxes from the foreign mall, installed one on the first floor, and installed one on the second floor, so the heat surged upwards. She didn't install any on the third floor, and the temperature was similar to the first floor.

After dinner, Xiang Yisen reluctantly bid farewell to his family, and Ruan Xiuhua drove him to the train station.

After Xiang Yisen left, the time entered the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the weather became colder and colder.

This year is the first New Year for the Xiang family in the provincial capital. In order to celebrate the New Year well, Yu Qing, Grandma Ruan and Han Xue discussed what to prepare for the new year.

In the past, at the end of the year, Yu Qing would prepare a pig, smoked bacon, and fried tiger skin meat. This year, she didn't want to miss this good season for smoked bacon.

"Grandma, mother-in-law, Chinese New Year is less than 20 days away, shall we smoke some bacon this year?"

Han Xue has seen how much smoked bacon Yu Qing said. She used to think it was a waste of pork, but now she doesn't think so.

After all, bacon can be eaten for a year after being smoked. In March and April, when the pork supply is tight, there is still bacon to eat at home.

"You have a good idea, but where can you buy so much meat at once in the provincial capital?"

Grandma Ruan nodded: "The whole family's meat bills add up to only a dozen catties, which is really not enough for you to smoke bacon."

Yu Qing smiled and said, "We can ask my dad to drive around the countryside to see if we can buy a pig. If we are lucky enough to buy a pig, we will share one share, enough to smoke bacon for the New Year."

Grandma Ruan didn't object: "Then let your dad go to the countryside."

The smile on Yu Qing's face became stronger: "Well, when my dad comes back from get off work in the evening, I told him to let him buy some more chickens and ducks by the way. Now that the manor we live in is big enough, we will buy it when the time comes. Raise them one by one, and kill them when you want to eat them during the Chinese New Year."

"You have a good idea. If you buy such a big manor, you can't raise anything you want." Han Xue lives in the manor, and often sighs at night. When the Xiang family was not in decline, the place where they lived was not as big as here.

Yu Qing's eyes lit up when she heard the words: "My mother-in-law reminded me that next spring in the lotus pond in the manor, I will ask someone to put some fish fry in it. When the fish grow up, we can catch fish anytime we want. How convenient!"

Grandma Ruan was very happy when she heard that: "I heard you say that, we can raise pigs, chickens and ducks."

Yu Qing shook her head: "Let's forget about pigs, it's too smelly, and it's too troublesome to raise pigs. You can raise some chickens and ducks. They usually look for food by themselves. Just feed them in the morning and evening, so they won't be too tired."

Pigs eat too much and it takes too much energy to raise them.Collective households will be disbanded in the whole province next year, and the fields will be divided into households. There must be a lot of farmers raising pigs. It will be more convenient and cost-effective to buy smoked bacon in the countryside.

Grandma Ruan: "Hearing what you said, I didn't consider it properly. If you think it's dirty to raise chickens in the manor next year, you can drive the chickens and ducks to our land next door to forage."

The land bought by the Ruan family next door has already been fenced, and it is very suitable to go there, so Yu Qing smiled and nodded.

After receiving the task, Ruan Xiuhua drove the car outside against the cold wind for two days, and finally bought a 100-jin black soil pig in the countryside more than 200 miles away from the provincial capital.

This kind of black soil pig has good meat quality, tender and delicious meat, rich in red fiber, and the meat color is close to that of beef. It is better than the foreign breed of white pig widely raised in later generations, both in terms of nutrition and taste.

Grandma Ruan exclaimed while rubbing salt, "This pork is really beautiful. The fat on the back is as thick as a palm, and the color is still snow white."

Looking at the thick fat meat, Yu Qing dare not say that the quality of this pork is good, but it is too fat.

However, it doesn't matter if you use it to smoke bacon.

The eldest aunt Shi Huilan nodded approvingly: "I want to thank my second brother for buying such good meat this time. If I didn't have a car, I wouldn't have traveled so far to buy such good meat."

Otherwise, in the past, their family wouldn't have been nervous every year during the Chinese New Year, and later relied on Yu Qing to help them.

This time it was a pig, Grandma Ruan asked for half of the fan, Yu Qing and Shi Huilan shared the other half.

There are almost 60 catties, [-] catties of smoked bacon, and [-] catties are reserved for usual food, which is enough for their family.

Han Xue sat aside and said with a smile: "I have to thank my in-laws."

More than 200 catties of pork have been marinated, and it takes three or four days to start smoking. If the weather is too low, it may take a week to marinate.

By the time the bacon is smoked, it is already the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month.

Tomorrow is the New Year in the North, and Han Xue is from the north. She has always been used to celebrating the New Year at 23.

Yu Qing discussed with Grandma Ruan, and on the 23rd, the whole family will spend the northern New Year together in the manor.

On the 24th year in the south, Yu Qing took her family to Ruan's house to celebrate the new year.Each family can take good care of this arrangement, which is exactly what Grandma Ruan wanted.

23. In Xiaonian in the north, the lowest temperature reached minus five degrees Celsius.

It has been cloudy and rainy outside for two days, and snow particles fell without accident today.The villa is warm like spring due to the installation of air-conditioning boxes.

In order to meet the occasion, Yu Qing asked the nanny to make a lot of noodles and chopped a lot of minced meat. Everyone sat in the warm villa and made dumplings together.

Even the two-year-old little Zhuzhu came to join in the fun, insisting on sitting on a chair and learning how adults make dumplings.

"Zhuzhu, are you making dumplings? I think it's more like kneading dough." Yu Qing laughed and picked her up and sat on her lap, teaching her how to make dumplings.

"Children at her age are curious about everything, want to participate in everything, and want to be like adults in everything." Grandma Ruan shook her head. She was mischievous, and adults couldn't bear to beat her up.

Yu Qing remembered the bad things this child did, and shared with everyone: "It's really like what grandma said, last time when her father was at home, she saw me putting on skin care products, so she took my skin care products to help her father apply them. , making her father's whole face miserable."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed.

Grandma Ruan asked curiously: "Issen honestly let her harm that face, he didn't get angry?"

Yu Qing smiled indescribably: "Before I knew him, he was a cold-tempered person who seemed indifferent to everything. Now facing his daughter, he seems to be a different person, and his patience in front of Zhuzhu has never been better."

Han Xue's heart is for his son who is far away in Yicheng, "I don't know how he will live alone in Yicheng today? Did he eat well?"

Sitting in Yu Qing's arms, Xiao Zhuzhu watched her mother hold the dumplings while comforting her grandma: "Grandma, let's call daddy in the evening."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone was amused by her.

Han Xue promised her with a smile on her face: "Okay, let's call Dad at night to see if he misses our Zhuzhu."

Zhuzhu nodded her head seriously: "Yeah, Dad misses me the most!"

"Ha ha!"

In the afternoon, stew the chicken in advance, and then marinate a pot of beef.There were still some seafood left in the studio, and Yu Qing also took them out in advance, and asked the nanny to watch over the arrangement, so they must make a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner at night.

It gets dark early in winter, at 05:30 in the afternoon, the sky outside slowly gets dark.

The four King Kongs of the Ruan family came first with Shi Huilan, then Mr. Ruan, and Ruan Xiuhua and Zhou Jingfang were the last to arrive.

As soon as Ruan Xiuhua entered the house, Yu Qing noticed something wrong with her father Ruan's expression. She glanced at Zhou Jingfang, who also had an unnatural expression, and didn't ask any more questions, just pretending that she didn't notice that there was something wrong with them.

During the dinner, the faces of Ruan Xiuhua and Zhou Jingfang returned to normal. Father Ruan, Mr. Ruan and several nephews drank and chatted happily.

But Zhou Jingfang took care of the two brothers, North and South, everything was normal.Yu Qing was busy taking care of the children, so she didn't pay much attention to them.

After eating and taking a bath, Xiao Zhuzhu kept thinking about calling Xiang Yisen before going to bed. Han Xue was busy taking care of the children and forgot for a while.

It was Zhuzhu who reminded her: "Grandma, call Dad."

Yu Qing had just sent Ruan's family away, and when she turned around, she heard her words, and she was pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect this little girl to really miss her father."

"I didn't expect that, Qingqing, you called and asked. I'll take Da'an to take a bath first, and I'll wash Xiao'an later." After finishing speaking, Han Xue carried Da'an into the bathroom.

Xiao Zhuzhu couldn't wait to urge: "Mom, dial!"

Yu Qing stretched her back after being tired all day, sat down, picked up the phone and dialed it.

"Hey."

The phone rang twice before it was connected, and a deep male voice came from the opposite side.

Yu Qing joked: "You answered the call in a timely manner."

Xiang Yisen pursed his lips and smiled lowly: "Hehe, I happened to be sitting next to the phone, are you still asleep?"

"No, your daughter misses you before going to bed, and she won't go back upstairs unless we call." Yu Qing glanced at Zhuzhu who was standing beside her impatiently.

"Hehe." There was another pleasant and low-pitched laughter from the other end of the phone.

Seeing that Yu Qing was on the phone and only focused on talking, Zhuzhu hurriedly climbed onto her body and shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, I miss you."

Yu Qing smiled lightly and put the microphone next to her ear, let them chat with their father and daughter.

"Father also misses Zhuzhu, are you good at home?"

"good!"

"Did you have a good meal?"

"Delicious!"

"Did you take care of your brothers?"

"Have!"

Holding Zhuzhu in her arms, Yu Qing listened to the unnutritious question and answer of their father and daughter, and shook her head amusingly.

"Zhuzhu and her father have a lot to talk about." Han Xue came out after helping Da'an take a shower, and wanted to laugh seeing Zhuzhu's serious chatting posture.

"Mother-in-law, you can chat with them here, I'll help Xiao An take a bath." Yu Qing put Zhuzhu on the sofa, got up and took Xiao An from the nanny's arms.
