Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Gao Shufang's return was welcomed by everyone. Gao Mingli took out five eggs from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Jinling, saying he got them from home.

"My mother scolded me a lot for these eggs!" Gao Mingli said with a smile while sitting on a stool.

Gao Shufang also laughed. She told everyone what happened and said helplessly: "The fourth brother kept urging me and even took away the eggs given to my sister-in-law during confinement! My nephew ran to complain, and I didn't know it for a while. What should we do!”

"In such a rush, I haven't even had time to pack up some things! I didn't even take the cream to wipe my face with!"

Zhang Jinling also smiled. She first glanced at Gao Mingli with a pursed lips, and felt warm in her heart, feeling that her husband was finally on her side.

Zhang Jinling said to Gao Shufang: "What's the matter? Just wipe your face with my cream!"

Gao Shufang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the store to buy some when I'm free tomorrow. Second brother, do you want to go there and make preparations now?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "It's still early. After lunch, you guys will go over there to make preparations. We will have a big dinner tonight. Let's have a simple lunch. Let's cook some rice noodles and put some meat and eggs on it. And vegetables, it tastes good too.”

Gao Mingcheng's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Eat simply for lunch, and then you can eat as much as you want at night!

At noon, everyone had a simple meal. After lunch, Duo Mei took the keys to their new home and greeted Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling to get in the car.

I had already bought all the groceries in the morning, but there were so many groceries that it would be tiring for people to carry them there, so I decided to drive a tractor and take both the people and the groceries to my new home.

When they arrived at the new home, Gao Mingcheng helped carry the dishes to the kitchen and said to Duomei: "You three go to work first. The store closes at 4:30. Then we will come over to help."

"Okay, just keep an eye on the store, take good care of your son, and leave it to us three women!" Duo Duomei said with a smile, while Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling were both smart people and got busy immediately.

First wash the vegetables that need to be washed, cut those that need to be cut, marinate those that need to be marinated, and then put them in the pot to stew first.

Gao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Water cooling, you turn on the water heater!"

Duo Mei said: "I know, I'm going to turn on the water heater now. Several stoves will be burning later, and it won't be cold at all! You go over there quickly, you don't have to worry about this."

With that said, Duomei ignored him and strode towards the bathroom, plugging in the water heater first.

After Gao Mingcheng left, Duomei arranged for everyone to work. There was a lot of food tonight, so there was a lot to do.

The three women were washing and talking and laughing, but they didn't feel tired at all. After they had washed everything that needed to be washed and stewed what needed to be stewed, they saw Gao Mingcheng and the others coming together!

"It's half past four?" Duo Mei was stunned, but he didn't expect to get busy and the time passed quickly.

Gao Mingcheng took a look and saw that everything was almost ready, so he said: "You guys, stop being busy now, sit down and have a rest and eat some fruit snacks!"

Gao Mingcheng asked the three heroes to sit down and rest first, and then asked if the lamb legs were marinated.

I bought half a lamb today, and the two legs are going to be made into roast lamb. The lamb bones in the middle are cut into pieces to make soup for the bottom of the pot, and the meat is cut into thin slices and scalded for eating.

Duo Mei said: "As soon as I came here, I marinated the lamb legs first. It has been nearly three hours, and it should be marinated in flavor."

"Okay, I'll grill the leg of lamb over charcoal!" Gao Mingcheng rolled up his sleeves and was ready to show off his skills.

When everyone talked about crock pot soup last time, Gao Mingcheng said that he also planned to get a big crock pot and install an iron frame inside the big crock pot, with a circle on the top and a circle on the bottom. Small crocks can be placed below. It is used to stew soup, and the iron rack above can be used to hang barbecue.

Hang the marinated lamb leg on the iron rack, then burn charcoal fire inside the large earthen pot, and use the heat of the charcoal fire to roast the lamb leg bit by bit.

This baking method is relatively simple and convenient. You only need to pay attention to the heat and turn it over when the time is up.

This big earthen jar was bought not long ago and has been kept in the new home, so Gao Mingli and the others have never seen this thing.

"Second brother, is it cooked like this?" Gao Mingli looked over and asked curiously.

Gao Mingcheng said confidently: "Of course it's cooked! Just wait and see if you don't believe it!"

Gao Mingcheng closed the lid and waited for time to prove everything. At this time, he heard footsteps at the door.

He went out to welcome Gao Yue and Gao Mingwan and his wife.

"Did you happen to meet each other on the road? Come on in and sit down!" Gao Mingcheng greeted them into the house and sat down.

The table has been set up with various snacks, fruits and melon seeds and peanuts.

Luo Li and Wang Xiuxiu were both pregnant and couldn't help, so they just sat on the sofa, eating snacks and exchanging pregnancy experiences.

Ask each other whether the belly is round or pointed after pregnancy, whether the child in the belly kicks, and whether there is swelling, stretch marks, etc.

There were many beauties to take charge of, and Hu Yinchen took care of little Xuxu. At this moment, Hu Yinchen held little Xuxu, sat beside them, and taught them the experience of having children.

Luo Li's mother died young and she couldn't tell her this, so she listened quite seriously. Even Wang Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly to express that she understood.

And took the opportunity to ask Hu Yinchen to take care of her during the confinement period.

Wang Xiuxiu had planned to ask her mother to take care of her, but after counting the days, her mother said she would not be free at that time and asked her to go back to the village to give birth to the child, or call her mother-in-law to the county to take care of her.

But both Wang Xiuxiu and Gao Mingwan knew Luo Xiaohua's personality.

Luo Xiaohua is very capable and can take good care of Yuezi, but unfortunately they may not be able to invite him. Wang Xiuxiu and Luo Xiaohua also get along well, so they would rather hire outsiders to take care of her.

When Hu Yinchen heard this, she did not agree immediately, but said, "It depends on what Ming Cheng and Duomei want first."

Hu Yinchen was hired by Gao Mingcheng. She was personally quite satisfied with this stable job. If an outsider asked her to do something, she would refuse directly, but now the person who hired her is the boss's sister-in-law. , it was hard for her to refuse directly.

Wang Xiuxiu said hurriedly: "I know this, I will make an agreement with my second brother and second sister-in-law."

Chatting here, cooking rice and cooking over there!

Squid and taro soup is simmering in the small pot, and mutton bone soup is simmering in the large iron pot. Now, the mutton bone soup is poured out and poured into the copper hot pot. The excess soup is put in a large bowl for later use when the hot pot is heated. Come add soup.

After the big iron pot was freed, we started cooking.

When cooking, you should fry the meat vegetables first, then the vegetarian vegetables. Fish can be cooked first, because fish tastes good whether it is cold or hot. Unlike other dishes, it is not so delicious once it is cold.

While cooking in the kitchen, Gao Guobing and Zhao Dongmei finally arrived.

Huang Dazhi was the last one to arrive. When he arrived, the kitchen had already begun to stir-fry vegetarian dishes, and the copper hotpot was also lit with charcoal fire.

"Dazhi, come and sit here!" Gao Mingcheng called to Huang Dazhi to sit down.

The table in the new home is a large round table that can seat ten people. If it is squeezed in, it will not be difficult to seat twelve or three people. In addition to the large round table, there is also a small table where pregnant women can sit and eat without worrying about being crowded. There are also various dishes.

Gao Mingcheng opened a bottle of four special wines and filled it for all the guests who were drinking. As for those who didn't know how to drink, they also filled it with drinks.

Gao Mingcheng raised his glass and said loudly: "Today is New Year's Day, and the time has entered the 1990s. Let's raise our glasses together to celebrate! I wish all of us a prosperous new year and better times!"

"Happy New Year's Day!" Gao Guobing and others stood up and toasted together to celebrate.

In the lively atmosphere, everyone began to enjoy the food. At this time, Duomei reminded: "Mingcheng, are the roasted lamb legs ready?"

Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Look at me, I have forgotten it. Uncle, aunt, you all eat first, I will go and take a look at the back."

Gao Mingcheng hurried to the backyard. The earthen jar was placed on the back eaves so that the smoke from the charcoal fire would disperse outside.

He opened the lid, and the smell of meat suddenly hit his nostrils.

This rich aroma of barbecue makes even Gao Mingcheng want to eat it.

He wrapped a piece of cloth around an iron hook and lifted out a leg of lamb.

This leg of lamb has been slow-roasted over charcoal fire for nearly two hours. It is already cooked, and there is still a little bit of charring near the bottom of the charcoal fire.

Gao Mingcheng placed the leg of lamb on a large plate and then brought it to the big table first.

The leg of lamb is roasted whole, but the meat on it has been cut so that it can be marinated and roasted. Gao Mingcheng left another knife and said: "The roasted leg of lamb is ready. You can cut it and eat it yourself." !”

Immediately afterwards, Gao Mingcheng returned to the crock and took out another roasted lamb leg. This roasted lamb leg was placed on the small table.

The roasted leg of lamb took up a lot of space, so everyone was busy removing dishes that were about the same size before making enough room.

"It smells so good! It's delicious! Mingcheng, others use earthen pots to stew soup, but you've changed it to barbecue!" Gao Guobing laughed and praised Gao Mingcheng for being smart.

Gao Mingcheng smiled silently. This method was not invented by him, but he saw someone doing it in a short video in his previous life.

It’s much cheaper to cook meat in a crock pot than to spend money on an oven!

"You're welcome, you can eat whatever you want!" Gao Mingcheng greeted everyone to eat and drink, and he also took a knife and cut off a piece of roast lamb.

This kind of roasted mutton, which has been highly praised by Gao Guobing and others, is quite fragrant, but the meat is not fresh and tender enough. For Gao Mingcheng, who has eaten northern grassland sheep, it is still a bit lacking.

The same goes for the lamb bones stewed in the pot, which are harder to chew.

But this was purely because Gao Mingcheng was picky, because everyone else except him was extremely satisfied with the meal.

Although a leg of lamb was big, it couldn't hold up to a few grown men, and soon only the bones were left. So many beauties brought the roasted leg of lamb from the women's table over here and said, "You guys eat Well, we’ve already tasted it, and we can’t finish so much.”

Although the roast lamb is good, the other dishes today are also good!

After eating and drinking, everyone began to sit on the sofa and chat. Sitting in twos and threes, the women talked about women's topics, and the men talked about men's topics. It seemed quite noisy for a while, but this noise, This is a lively display.

Hu Yinchen helped clear away the leftovers and dishes on the table, and then said goodbye to Duomei.

Upon hearing that Hu Yinchen was planning to leave, Gao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Wait a minute before leaving, there's no lottery yet! Come on, everyone, get ready, we're here to draw the lottery! The prizes are all small things and red envelopes, just for pictures. Lively and festive!”

As Gao Mingcheng spoke, he went to the house and took out a paper box. In the paper box, there were many paper balls. He motioned for everyone to grab a paper ball and take it out.

Let the elders grab them first, and then grab them one by one. Even Gao Mingcheng himself caught one.

This lottery-like lottery made everyone excited, even Gao Guobing grinned from ear to ear with joy.

He unfolded the ball of paper, and there was an auspicious saying inside, as well as the words "a red envelope of 66 yuan will be awarded."

Gao Mingcheng caught a glimpse of it and immediately smiled and said: "Uncle, you are very lucky. I wish you good luck in the new year!"

Then he turned his head to look at what Zhao Dongmei had drawn.

What Zhao Dongmei drew was an item, and she was rewarded with a piece of clothing, allowing her to choose from a clothing store!

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "My aunt is also very lucky. When she is free, she will come to my store to choose some clothes! What about you? What did you get?"

"I got a piece of clothing!"

"I am a red envelope of eighteen yuan!"

"Haha, I got a red envelope of thirty-six yuan!"

"I drew a watch!"

……

Everyone announced their prizes one after another, and then burst into laughter. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with the prize.

Gao Mingcheng also smiled and lowered his head to open the paper ball he drew.

The auspicious star shines brightly, and the bonus is 66 yuan!

Gao Mingcheng pursed his lips and smiled.

The sixty-six yuan red envelope was the largest red envelope here, and he only put two in it. One was drawn by Gao Guobing, and the other was drawn by him!

It seems that in the new year, he and Uncle Guobing will have the best luck!

In 90, six or six great successes!

Gao Mingcheng stood up, took out the red envelopes and prizes, and distributed them one by one.

This lottery is really interesting. I was already very happy when I got the prize. When I got the prize, I felt happy again!

One thing can make people happy twice!

Hu Yinchen also laughed, she got a piece of clothing!

But instead of choosing for herself, she planned to choose a dress for the men in the family!

The lottery is tonight's climax. After the climax, the heat will slowly decrease, but the warmth will rise.

After drawing the prize, Hu Yinchen was ready to leave.

Duo Mei sent her to the door and warned: "You brought a flashlight, right? Walk slowly on the road, be careful!"

"Hey, I get it." Hu Yinchen said with a smile and took out the flashlight from his pocket.

She turned on the flashlight, and a beam of light shone on the ground, illuminating the area.

After watching Hu Yinchen leave, Duo Mei returned to the living room. Because it was a busy day, Xiao Xuxu showed no intention of falling asleep. He was hugged by this one and teased by that one, which made the little guy giggle. (End of chapter)
