The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 750 Good News

  It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming soon!

The sky is blue, the grass is green, the birds fly beautifully, and the insects chirp rhythmically...

Yan Yu's mood continues to improve!

She didn't actually need anything urgently, she just missed a few friends on the platform.

As soon as Yan Yu entered the yard, she saw her father preparing meat.

"Wow! Dad, are we having pork elbow today?"

"Well, your uncle will be back today and prepare something good." Yan Laoer said in a relaxed tone.

In addition to the pork elbow, he also planned to make a bowl of cold dishes, stir-fried liver tips, and an egg drop soup.

There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, and they are rich in nutrition.

"Dad, please make some more rice dumplings."

Yan Laoer: "There are still a few days left, no rush, do you want to eat? How about Daddy make it for you tomorrow?"

"Just today, before midnight." Her hint couldn't be more obvious.

Yan Laoer understood and stopped what he was doing.

"here we go again?"

"coming!"

"Yes! I'll go soak the rice!"

"Hehe! Then I'll go to the river and pick some leaves."

"Wait a minute, go down to the cellar and get some jujubes, red beans, etc."

"Okay daddy!"

Li Xuemei and Mrs. Tian walked into the yard chatting and laughing.

"Huaian, what are you busy with?" Mrs. Tian asked as she poured water to wash her hands, wanting to lend him a hand.

"Master's wife, don't get involved. I'll be done soon." Yan Laoer reported the dishes he planned to cook and said that Yan Huaiwen would be home today.

Li Xuemei put away the various scraps of cloth she brought back, looked around, and took the red beans and dates to wash.

I went to the kitchen again.

"Why did you soak the glutinous rice?"

"Dabao wants to eat rice dumplings." Yan Laoer looked up at her, avoiding Mrs. Tian with his eyes almost blinking away.

Li Xuemei lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she understood. She stopped asking questions and rolled up her sleeves to help with the work.

Yan Laoer: "What kind of rice dumplings does Master's wife like? Let's make more."

Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "I love eating white rice dumplings. I only need to pack two. I can't eat more. It's only once a year, so I don't think about it normally."

Yan Laoer was amused: "People from the same family are like one another, haha, it's the same with my family, we just eat a few during the solar terms."

Mrs. Tian hurried back to the house without saying a few words.

Yan Lao Er asked his wife, "Mei, why are you in such a hurry, Master's wife?"

“During the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat rice dumplings, tie five-colored threads, and wear sachets.

Xiao Er's aunt said that her master's wife went to her house to buy medicinal herbs a few days ago. She did not take her master's wife's money, but she got an inspiration. She mixed the herbs for the sachets into small portions, and found Qi's sister-in-law and several people in the village who were good at embroidery. She planned to sew more sachets and prepared dozens of five-colored threads to sell them at the market on the first day of the new year.

The mistress gave them a few patterns. Xiaoer's aunt said that if they made money, everyone would have one. If there was any left, they would share it with their children or give it away. Qianchu in our family is busy with this. She and her sisters sew several a day. "Li Xuemei smiled and said, "But they don't make money from the market, they are going to sell it in the shops in the city."

"My wife has to go to each family every day to teach them how to make dye vats. They all have free time to do the work, but my wife is busy. We have four children, so that means four sachets. I guess they haven't finished making them yet. Now that you want to make zongzi, my wife will be anxious."

"Oh my! Our sister is really smart." Yan Lao Er clicked his tongue twice, "Qian Chu and the others are also quite smart."

"By the way, how is the cloth dyed?" asked Yan Laoer.

"The first batch of dyed cloth has dried, and the color is a little light. I kept a few pieces of cloth as samples and tried dyeing it a few more times." Li Xuemei planned to make dyeing color cards from the scraps of cloth she brought back, and gradually enrich the color of the samples.

"Everyone's dye vat has been made. What's left is to continue dyeing, testing colors, and maintaining the dye vat. Tomorrow, Master's wife won't have to teach. It's a good time for her to have a good rest."

……

The dagger in Yan Yu's hand was extremely sharp.

When she was done plucking leaves one by one, she would just cut it in half, cut it and then pick the leaves, which was much faster. She would take the leaves home and clean them up.

Li Xuemei took care of the child, Yan Laoer and Rong Mama were responsible for the baby, and as for Yan Yu, she went down to the cellar again.

She had to take a careful inventory and get a rough idea of ​​what her friends had that could be traded.

……

Yan Huaiwen saw the smoke from the village from a long distance away.

He had a vague feeling that the smoke was coming from his home.

Enter the village and walk to the big rock.

Yan Huaiwen: "Kang Er, go home. I'll call you if there's anything in the next few days."

He nodded to the children behind him and said, "You can go home too."

The book boys on duty happily went home.

However, Kang Yinzhi insisted on sending Yan Huaiwen into the yard before leaving.

Although it was only a few steps away, he didn't dare to gamble.

Kang Er could not forget that Yan Huaiwen got lost in the military camp a few days ago.

Although the military camp was large, they only went to a few places at a time.

  Even so...his employer is still gone!

Besides not knowing the way, his boss had another bad habit: he didn't like to ask questions of others.

There were obviously soldiers patrolling around, so he could have just asked them, but he didn't do that and just wandered around the barracks alone.

It took him a long time to find it.

From then on, Kang Er learned his lesson. If he wanted to go somewhere that Yan Huaiwen couldn't be seen, he would follow Yan Huaiwen closely and never leave his side.

The closer Yan Huaiwen got to home, the more relaxed he became.

The rich aroma of rice wafts in the air.

It made him hungry.

"Uncle!" Yan Yu was the first to see it and cheered.

"Dad is back!" Yan Qianchu looked delighted.

"Brother!" Yan Laoer was quicker than his daughter and ran over to take the bag. "Why did you come back so late? We were all waiting anxiously."

Yan Huaiwen said in a gentle voice: "I was delayed by something before leaving, so I left a little late."

"Dad! Didn't brother Heng come back with you?" Yan Qianchu looked outside and didn't see anyone behind him.

"He will come home on the fourth day of the New Year and go back on the sixth day." Yan Huaiwen said.

"You're leaving after just spending the holidays at home? So busy?" Yan Lao Er muttered. Seeing his elder brother looking over, he hurriedly said, "Be busier, be busier, do your job well and gain more skills."

After Yan Huaiwen washed up, he called Yan Qianchu over. The father and daughter closed the door and talked for a while. When they came out, Yan Laoer had already set the dining table in the yard.

Yan Qianchu's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head shyly as she followed her father.

Yan Yu pulled Qing'er to sit next to him. Zhang Cong was very tactful and did not sit at the table, but continued to help in the kitchen.

Li Xuemei sat next to Yan Qianchu.

The mother and daughter whispered something to each other.

The redness on Yan Qianchu's face spread all the way to his ears.

Yan Laoer and his wife kept exchanging glances, and their eye contact was very frequent.

Yan Yu did not join in. She was already hungry and her eyes were fixed on the big elbow.

Mrs. Tian was smart and saw something. She looked at Yan Qianchu and smiled kindly.

really.

Before starting to eat, the head of the Yan family announced the good news.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the Cheng family would invite a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
