Chapter 14 Neighborhoods
Yang Erni and Yue Mian greeted each other, exchanged things and went back home. This is not the first time that something like this has happened.

When the smoked bacon is arranged, it means that the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

After a heavy snowfall, Jiangjia Village, which had been silent for half a winter, became lively again, and the mountains and plains were covered with whiteness.

The children who have been detained at home by the adults and not allowed to go out since the cold weather seem to have received some signal. The village is full of children's laughter, and a few exclamations can be heard from time to time, so who must be caught again? The snowball hit.

Mrs. Jiang saw that the young children in the family couldn't sit still, and they stayed with their sister and refused to go out.So he couldn't help teasing them, "Qilang, don't you want to go out and play?"

"Is it possible?" Jiang Qiming was a little moved, but when he thought that he would go out to play, the other brothers and sisters could stay with his sister for a while, so he shook his head tangled.

After a while, his eyes fell on the straps. He had seen those aunts and aunts in the village use this to carry little children on their backs. Jiang Boyuan said coolly: "Don't dream. My sister is so young and it's so cold outside, she can't bear it."

Jiang Qiming stopped thinking like this, and sat for a while, he had an idea, ran out of the house, gathered a small snowman, brought it to Jiang Yuan, smiled and said: "Look at Yubao, this is snow , this is the snowman I gave you."

Not to be outdone, the other boys followed Jiang Qiming's example and went outside to pinch a snowman and show it to Jiang Yu'an.

In her previous life, Jiang Yu'an was from the south, and she rarely saw such heavy snow. Later, she became an actor, and when she went to the north, she was mostly busy with work, so she hardly had time to purely play in the snow.

At this moment, she was fascinated, trying to stretch her neck to see the world of ice and snow outside.

Mrs. Jiang saw that she wanted to go out to play, and was worried that a young person like her would catch the cold easily, so she hugged Jiang Yu'an and stood in front of the bed for her to watch.

In the heavy snowfall every now and then, the New Year has come like this.

Although Jiang Yu'an is growing fast now, and the clothes she made will be unwearable in a month or two, Mrs. Jiang still made her a red jacket that fits perfectly, with rabbit fur rolled around the neckline. It looks like a pleasing person My favorite Fu doll.

I have been busy for several days before, preparing steamed buns, fried fruits, twists, tofu and other things, and pasting couplets. On the New Year's Eve, the only thing left for the Jiang family is making dumplings.

Jiang Zixing, who has been busy for several days helping everyone write couplets, is now free to help clean up.

As the cook of Lao Jiang's family, the job of making dumpling stuffing naturally fell on Yang Erni

There are not many vegetables that can be eaten in winter, and dumplings can only be made of pork radish and pork sauerkraut. Sun Yan and An Shuhui rolled dumpling skins one by one, and made dumplings by the other. Cover it with a cloth and put it outside for half a day before it freezes, and it can be stored for several days.

The New Year's Eve dinner was also headed by Yang Erni, because the big black pig that Jiang Yu'an released before, Lao Jiang's family had ample meat reserves this year, and everyone had a full belly for the New Year's Eve dinner.The children kowtowed to the elders one by one according to the order of teeth, and then they received red envelopes one after another.

At midnight, the sound of firecrackers came from the village one after another.

Some people who are a little richer will buy firecrackers to set off, and some people find bamboo and burn it in the fire. The sound of "cracking" sounds very festive.

It was Jiang Yu'an's first time seeing firecrackers in the true sense. He stared at them without blinking. His white and tender face was flushed by the firelight, and his eyes were also bright.

Seeing that she was not afraid at all, Jiang Zixing raised his lips and touched his daughter's forehead with his forehead, "Does Yubao like to watch it? Then Daddy will burn some more for you, okay?"

In the light of the fire, the bamboo made a sound again. Looking at the family members around him, Jiang Yuan felt extraordinarily peaceful in his heart.

For her, this is the happiest and most important New Year in her life.

Seeing her daughter clapping her hands in excitement, she added a few more bamboos until Jiang Yuan yawned uncontrollably before taking Jiang Yuan back to sleep.

Beside her loving parents and elder brother, and hearing the laughter of the other elder brothers, Jiang Yuan felt extraordinarily peaceful, and soon fell into a dream.

When I woke up again, it was already a new year.

Everyone went to bed very late yesterday, but today no one slept in late. Before the sky was fully lit, the sound of firecrackers was heard in the distance, and everyone got up together and was busy cooking dumplings.

As soon as the children woke up, they could eat dumplings that they seldom eat. The dumplings in the bowl were all white and fat, and the fillings were delicious.

Everyone was too greedy, but they couldn't eat right away. They happily kowtowed to the elders in the family, said a few auspicious words, and then got together to eat dumplings while planning how to spend their lucky money.

Even if everyone knows that the New Year's money will be taken away by parents after the Chinese New Year, and they will never see the New Year's money again, this will not affect the enthusiasm of everyone's discussion.

After the new year, the weather is getting warmer every day, and Jiang Qiming just became a member of the school.

There was already news about the saplings Mrs. Jiang asked someone to buy, and when she was about to discuss with Jiang Zixing and settle down, Shen Mingwan came to the door with Lianqing, who directed the people he brought to bring dozens of saplings. Put it in the yard of Lao Jiang's house.

"Wanniang, this is..." Although Mrs. Jiang didn't know where Shen Mingwan got these saplings, the faint fragrance in her nose was enough for her to guess that these saplings must be excellent wood.

It can even be said that this is not a sapling anymore, it is obviously a tree that has grown for several years.

"Auntie, this is Xiangnan. Although it is not as good as golden nanmu, it is still a good material for making furniture." Shen Mingwan smiled and said, "I heard that we will prepare it for our daughter here, and I gave it to Yubao. Gift. I have already asked when I bought it. We can grow this nanmu here. Auntie, I prepared this for Yubao. You must be polite to me. If you don’t accept it, I will The saplings are bought for nothing."

Mrs. Jiang couldn't think of how to refuse for a while, she just felt that such a sapling must not be cheap, "Wanniang, you can plant it for the child in your womb, no matter if it is a boy or a girl in your womb, you can always grow it." Is it useful?"

"Oh, auntie." The smile on Shen Mingwan's face was like a spring breeze, "We are all neighbors, your family used to smoke bacon and cook next to you, didn't you think of me, and you wanted to give me a copy of the dumplings for the Chinese New Year. As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, our neighbors miss each other, I think of you when I have good things, and you think of me when you have good things, this is the truth.”
