After dressing as a peasant girl, she owns a whole forest

Chapter 129

Xing'er didn't say a word, it didn't matter to anyone, no one knew how to choose, she couldn't use her thoughts to ask others.

"Let's cook."

Shen said something.

Everyone stopped talking about it and went to dinner.

Xing'er's dishes are almost done here, but Mrs. Xue hasn't come back yet. It is said that Mrs. Xue lives farther than Liu Changsheng's house, but no matter how far away, she only needs to walk a few minutes longer. It's been almost half an hour, Mrs. Xue should have led the little tiger back, but he hasn't come back until now, what happened?

Xing'er thought about it and looked at Shen Jiayu. Shen Jiayu had been looking at the door, and she was also anxious.

"I'll go take a look."

Xing'er was afraid that something might happen.

"I'll go with you."

Liu Changsheng also stood up. Just as the two of them were about to go out, Mrs. Xue came back with the little tiger. When they came back, everyone saw that they were all fine, so they felt relieved.

As soon as they came back, Shen Jiayu hurriedly hugged the little tiger, and felt his hands to see if it was cool.

After dinner, Aunt Cui and Liu Changsheng went back, Xing'er and the others soaked their feet, Xue Shi gave Xing'er a wink, Xing'er said to go to the backyard to see the dishes, and followed Xue Shi to the backyard.

Because Mrs. Xue and the little tiger live in the backyard, Chunhua and Xiuju don't have to take turns sleeping in the backyard, as long as Mrs. Xue is watching.

Xue's side coaxed the little tiger to sleep, and she told Xing'er that she met Zheng Dayou at home today.

"So coincidentally?"

Xing'er frowned, she thought Zheng Dayou would not look for Xue Shi again.

"It's not a coincidence. I suspect that he is guarding over there, otherwise I won't meet him as soon as I go back. He asked me where I have been these few days. He said that he came to give me money, and he was afraid that I would not have money. Qian and Xiaohu can't celebrate the new year, I think he is a little unwilling to give up, he wants to see how I am doing, also wants to see if I am separated from him, and if I have found someone again."

Xue's face was a little cold.

"What did Auntie say?"

Xing'er also guessed that Zheng Dayou was definitely not willing to part with Xue Shi, but she agreed to separate from Xue Shi because of fear.

"I said that I was at your house, and that I thought you were very close. Anyway, sooner or later we were together. If we meet now, we can talk about it in the future."

Xue can no longer let Zheng Dayou have any thoughts about her.

Xing'er nodded, it's not that no one knows about Xue's being in her house, there's nothing hard to say about it, Zheng Dayou, Zheng Xuemei and the others know about it, they may guess that Xue's will be possessed by the ghost king sooner or later, that's for sure She and Xing'er are in the same group, so she won't suspect anything.

"I told him not to come to me again, and I wouldn't ask for his money, so he left, but I feel he still doesn't give up."

Xue Shi really didn't want to get entangled with Zheng Dayou, she couldn't help it at first, but now she doesn't want to have any contact with Zheng Dayou, even if it's fake.

"Leave him alone, and scare him when I find a chance."

Xing'er felt that although Zheng Dayou was unwilling to give up, he did not dare to do anything according to his courage.

Mrs. Xue nodded, and then she gave Myolie a paper bag.

"This is?"

Myolie didn't know what was inside.

"This is for your self-defense. I made it. If you are in danger and you can't beat it, you can open it and blow it at the opponent. The opponent will be stunned and you can run away."

Xue Shi has been thinking about this since she came back from the town that day, she went back today, she found this, she made it before, but it didn't work, now it's just right for Xing'er, just in case.

"Okay, I'll keep it, thank you, auntie."

Xing'er accepted it, this kind of thing is for self-defense, she also needs it, in case it will be used in the future.

The two talked for a while, and Xing'er went back to the front yard to rest.

The next day is New Year’s Eve. Thirty has been the most important festival for people since ancient times. Every household will prepare for this day. Those who have money will prepare exquisitely, and those who have no money will do their best to prepare. Have a dumpling.

Xing'er got up early in the morning and went out to see that everyone was up, even the little tiger, she was the last one.

After breakfast, everyone had nothing to do. After talking for a while, Xing'er and the others began to prepare lunch.

At noon, Xing'er cooked some meat dishes and some vegetarian dishes. The staple food was rice. Everyone talked and laughed together. After lunch, they started making dumpling fillings. Dumplings are a must for Chinese New Year.

Xing'er prepared radish and cabbage. Radish dumplings are a tradition here, that is, wash the radish and cut into slices, then boil it in water. When it is almost cooked, remove it and put it on a large chopping board. Mince, mince and then put it in the cage cloth, wrap it well, squeeze it out vigorously, squeeze out all the radish water, then put the squeezed radish in the mixed meat stuffing, and stir well.

As for the radish soup, many people do not pour it. Some people drink radish soup specifically, saying that it is good for the body and also cures cough. People are prone to colds and coughs in winter. Drinking radish soup is very good.

Xing'er's home cooked it upside down, no one drank it, Xing'er didn't like the taste, Shen didn't drink it, Shen Jiayu saw that everyone didn't drink it, so she didn't drink it either.

Cabbage means a lot of wealth and has a good meaning, so people are willing to eat cabbage dumplings during the Chinese New Year. As for sauerkraut, in modern times, people in the Northeast are willing to eat sauerkraut dumplings, but some people say that it is good to eat it at ordinary times, but don’t eat it on New Year’s day. Pickled cabbage means sour, which is not good, so Xing'er didn't make pickled cabbage dumplings this day.

The minced meat was chopped by Liu Changsheng, he has strength, he chopped the minced meat quickly and well, Xing'er was very satisfied.

Make the dumpling stuffing, make the noodles over there, start to wake up the noodles, and Xing'er starts to prepare other dishes here, she doesn't participate in making dumplings, she cooks other dishes.

Speaking of Chinese New Year, their dinner here is dumplings, and every household makes dumplings. Those who can make a few dishes to eat with them, and those who don’t can only eat dumplings.

Xing'er thinks that Chinese New Year can't just eat dumplings. There are so many people, so she has to cook a few dishes. This is called Chinese New Year.

After the dumplings were finished, Shen Jiayu distributed some of the dumplings to Liu Changsheng, and Xue Shi and the others asked them to carry the dumplings and the boiled white meat back.

Why do this?
Because the Chinese New Year here is very particular, the dumplings cooked this evening must be worshiped first. This worship is to worship the heaven and earth, and worship the ancestors.

Mrs. Xue led the little tiger back to worship, and Aunt Cui and Liu Changsheng also had to go back to worship. This cannot be done at Xing'er's house.

Chunhua and Xiuju don't need to go back, there are people in their family who don't use them.

Xing'er also cooked dumplings here, before the dumplings were cooked, Xing'er heard the crackling of firecrackers outside.

"Who is this? The dumplings cook so fast."

Chunhua listened to the firecrackers and said loudly.

Xing'er smiled, this is also the custom here, the first time the dumplings are cooked, fire the cannons first, this is to tell everyone that their dumplings are cooked, there is another meaning in doing this, whoever cooks the rice first, the next year His family's food is cooked first, and under normal circumstances, no one wants to lag behind, so the dumplings are cooked earlier.

"It's ripe."

Xing'er yelled, and put a bowl in the bowl first.

"Sister Xing'er, go quickly, I'll serve it here."

Chunhua took the strainer from Xing'er's hand and asked Xing'er to go out with the dumplings.

"Myolie, come here quickly."

Shen Jiayu called Xing'er to light firecrackers.

"I don't want to order it, mother, you can order it."

Xing'er ordered it once in the countryside when she was a child. She was not interested in this thing. She watched too many scenes of being injured by firecrackers. She didn't want to be injured by the explosion.

"Go over quickly, mother is afraid."

Shen Jiayu took the dumpling from Xing'er's hand, Xing'er is the child of this family, and there is no need for her when she has the next generation.

Xing'er had no choice but to light the firecrackers, and when she lit them, she ran away as fast as she could, then covered her ears and listened to the crackling of the firecrackers.

Shen Jiayu also wanted to cover her ears, but she held the dumplings in one hand and it was difficult to cover them, so she could only listen with a smile.

Shen looked on with a smile on her face under the eaves.

Xiuju and Chunhua were in the kitchen, they glanced at each other and laughed, although they couldn't go home on Chinese New Year, they were fine here.

After the firecrackers were set off, Shen Jiayu brought the dumplings, Xing'er brought the cooked meat, Shen Jiayu brought Xinger to worship, and Xinger just followed Shen Jiayu, listening to Shen Jiayu's nagging Myolie’s thoughts are a little wandering. When she was a child in the countryside, her grandfather and mother also took her to worship in this way. At that time, she also followed, listening to them talking about worship, so many years have passed in a flash. No, she can never go back.

Xing'er was slightly sad, but after Shen Jiayu went from the yard to the house to worship, she had recovered her expression.

Xing'er continued to go to the kitchen to prepare her dishes. After a while, Liu Changsheng, Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Xue and Little Tiger all came back. The dumplings and meat were left at Liu's and Zheng's. They were for ancestor worship, at least not for today. of.

Everyone sit down, Mrs. Shen is the elder, and she sits at the main seat. On one side of her is Shen Jiayu, on the other side is Mrs. Cui, next to Shen Jiayu is Mrs. Xue, and next to Mrs. Cui is Liu Changsheng.

Sitting between Xue Shi and Xing'er is the little tiger, who is also like a little adult, sitting on the stool and staring at the dishes on the table.

Chunhua and Xiuju sat next to each other.

In the center of the dishes on the table is a plate of fish, with the head of the fish facing Shen. Of course, this fish is not a real fish, but a wooden fish carved by Xinger when she was free. It is said that cooking fish is popular during the Chinese New Year, which means There is more than enough every year, but when Xing'er comes here, she knows that there are few fish in this place, and she hasn't bought any fish, so it is impossible to eat fish.

Not only her family, but every household in the village has no fish to cook. Some families can put wooden fish on the plate. Not only wooden fish, some people also put wooden carved chickens, ducks, meat and so on. Her family only needs to put wooden fish.

She bought the chicken, and she cooked it at night. There is a big pot, enough to eat.

Meat, she made a large plate of square meat, which is fashionable here, satisfying cravings and delicious.

For cold dishes, she made cold cucumbers, shredded tripe, lotus root slices, pig ears and four cold dishes.

For the hot dishes, she made fried pork with bean curd, fried pork with beans, fried pork with chili, fried egg with persimmon, crispy pork, chicken and square meat, and that plate of fish, a total of twelve dishes, and several plates of dumplings, I can't finish it.

There are jugs and small wine glasses on the table. This wine glass is very small, it is the kind of small wine cup, and you can take a small sip of wine. Chunhua and Xiuju poured wine into everyone's glasses, of course, except for the little tiger. There was no drink, and Xing'er poured sugar water into the wine glass for the little tiger. The little tiger didn't care what was in the glass, he only knew that he, like everyone else, had a small wine glass with water in it, so he was happy.

Mrs. Shen is the elder and the head of the family. She held up the cup and said a few words. The auspicious words she said were also blessings to the younger generation.

After Shen finished speaking, she took the lead to have a drink, and everyone followed.

The wine was a bit spicy, Xing'er fanned it with her hand, but it's nothing to drink, so don't worry.

The little tiger also happily raised his glass to drink with everyone. The water in this glass is sweet and he likes to drink it. After he finished drinking, Xing'er poured it for him again.

In this way, everyone ate and talked and drank. If you have a good capacity for alcohol, like Liu Changsheng, you will drink one cup at a time.

Xing'er also drank more than two glasses, and the total amount was less than one tael. She didn't drink any more. She didn't like drinking. Although she wouldn't get drunk, she didn't want to make herself suffer for things she didn't like.

"I also want to respect everyone, little tiger wants to be my sister Xing'er's younger brother, and we will live in this house from now on, eat and play together, okay?"

The little tiger also raised his glass. He listened to everyone talking, and everyone was happy. He also wanted to say that he felt that he was really happy during the few days he lived in Xing'er's house. Everyone treated him so well. , he likes it here, he wants to live here forever.

"Yes, that would be great."

When Shen Jiayu heard what the little tiger said, she was overjoyed, and everyone laughed, scrambling to toast with the little tiger.

Seeing that everyone was happy, the little tiger smiled happily, and his eyes became brighter.

Mrs. Xue touched the little tiger's head, it was Zheng Dayou who went to look for her yesterday, when the little tiger was there, Zheng Dayou said that the little tiger is not Xing'er's younger brother, how can he stay at Xing'er's house all the time, she didn't expect that little tiger The tiger heard it in his heart, and said today that he wanted to be Xing'er's younger brother, it seems that he really likes this place.

Xing'er also had a drink with Little Tiger, she likes this little brother.

Everyone had eaten enough, Chunhua and Xiuju began to tidy up. The leftovers were left on the table without tidying up. Cold dishes can be eaten the next day, and hot dishes can be reheated the next day, so they won’t spoil on this day.

"mother."

The little tiger here was pulling the corner of Xue Shi's clothes. He heard the sound of cannons being fired outside, and he wanted to do so too.

"Brother Changsheng, let's take the little tiger to fire the cannon, but we have to watch him and not let him get too close to the cannon."

Xing'er knew what children wanted to do at a glance. When children were young, especially boys, there was no one who didn't like to set off cannons. But the little tiger was so young, it was impossible for him to set it off by himself, and he couldn't get out of the cannon. look at her.

If you don't let him go, he will feel disappointed and want to go even more. If you let him go, as long as he sees it, he will be very happy.

"it is good."

Liu Changsheng nodded in agreement, this is a trivial matter.

Xue didn't stop her either, she believed that both Xing'er and Liu Changsheng had their own sense of proportion.

Liu Changsheng went out with the little tiger and Xing'er in his arms.

"Let's go out and have a look too."

Shen Jiayu said a word, and everyone followed.

Chunhua and Xiuju also finished washing, and they followed suit.

　Xing'er has a younger brother, and she is happy during Chinese New Year.
