Chapter 182 Keeping the Promise

At noon, Qin Xi cooked the pork ribs. There was no refrigerator at home. Although it was cold, the ribs were almost out of storage. If they were broken, the meat would be for nothing. She cooked all the remaining ribs.

Qin Jiang Qin He was very, very satisfied with this lunch. It was pork ribs made of pure meat, and there was a lot of broth to drink. They had never eaten meat so refreshingly. Chinese New Year is so good!
Thinking of the dumplings at night, Qin Jiang and Qin He felt like he was drooling again, it's better to follow his sister!There is meat to eat.

This is the real thought of the two of them. Qin He is still regretting it. If he had known that after going to the countryside with Qin Xi, his life was so easy and refreshing, he would not have been sad and entangled back then. The situation is not far off.

The current Qin He can no longer remember what Qin Xi was like before, and now this mature, stable and reliable sister has taken root in his mind.

As for Qin Jiang, he only needs to know that this is his sister, and he doesn't need to care about anything else.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the three brothers and sisters of the Qin family were already busy with kneading noodles, chopping stuffing, and the rest of them were heating hot water.

Today is New Year's Eve, among other things, she still needs to take a shower. Others Qin Xi doesn't force her to do so, but she has to take one herself.

The taste of the dumpling stuffing was adjusted by Qin Xi. Simply put salt and ginger water, and finally put green onion. I also chopped a small half of the leftover lard dregs from three days ago, and wrapped ten taels with it. Dumplings with stuffing, others are dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.

Originally, she wanted to chop it all in, but she suddenly thought that the taste of dumplings with lard residue might not be very good, so she only chopped a little, and tasted it. If it tastes good, she will wrap it next time. This lard Scum, let it go for a week or something, it should be a small problem.

Qin Xi only chopped half of the cabbage into it. Eating only meat was too stressful. Of course, the most important thing was that when she was making sausages, she chopped more than half of the lean meat into it. More dumplings, not enough.

But fortunately, these days, the oil and water at home are still sufficient. For the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s good to eat happily. Compared with eating the meat in one meal, she is more inclined to eat the meat separately and eat him for three days. , Within three days, the fresh meat at home was consumed, and then there were sausages to eat.

Even the dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, Qin Jiang and Qin He are looking forward to it very much. This is white flour and meat. If you dislike it, then you are too ignorant.

You know, at home in Yongxin County, the dumplings made by Li Chunhua, Liu Qin and Qin Shan for the Chinese New Year did not have as much meat in them!
According to Liu Qin, I bought a few catties of meat for the Chinese New Year. It would be too wasteful to eat it all at once. There are not so many meat tickets at home. Now that I have finished eating, there will be guests at home later. What should I eat?
Of course, if there are guests at home, they are not allowed to serve them, and they will not be able to eat any meat. There is only so much meat in the bowl. If you eat too much, what will the guests eat?
Generally speaking, if there are more than three slices of meat, you will be beaten on the back of your hand as a reminder. If you pretend to be deaf and dumb, or greedy, you will be taught a lesson with a cane or fist by your elders. , it has a long memory.

At this moment, Qin Xi prepared enough dough for each of them to eat ten, and even the dumplings to be brought to Fangzheng's family were enough.

Here, Chen Yao came down from the mountain panting with the big two brothers and the three wooden brothers. The Qin family wanted twenty bundles of firewood. In less than two days, this "debt" will be paid off.

Thinking that that day would come soon, Chen Yao frowned with a smile. After all, he is debt-free and light-hearted!
"Take a rest here! I'm exhausted." Chen Yao knelt down directly, and then he took the burden off his shoulders.

When this burden was first picked up, it was quite easy. At that time, he felt that he could walk three miles in one breath, but he could not last for 3 minutes before he showed his original shape. This is the second time he rested. The movements are obviously more proficient than last time.

He and the big head are older than the two woods, and the burden on their shoulders is naturally heavier than theirs. The firewood on their shoulders is a full circle larger than that of the two younger ones.

"Brother Yao, why don't you put this burden here first, wait for me to pick it up, and then come back to help you."

Although he is much shorter than Chen Yao, his stamina is incomparable to him. When he picked up the burden on his body, his big head and legs were trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and followed all the way here. It wasn't that Chen Yao had let go of his burden and rested, he must still be able to persist.

In terms of enduring hardships and standing hard work, his wild way is far behind Chen Yao.

"No, let's go together after I have recovered my breath." Chen Yao shook his head and refused.

Today he realized his waste again. He had seen his second elder brother carrying firewood loads many times, but no matter what, the load was bigger than his, but his second elder brother picked it with ease. Every time I pick it up in one breath.

It's like him, he has already rested once, this is the second rest, and he should rest again later, his physical strength is not even comparable to the long-term hungry big head, just a word, scum.

This time, stealing the chicken was not enough to lose the rice, so the four of them were taken in. Those educated youths had no clue in their hands. Originally, the twenty bundles of firewood could not be returned, but Chen Yao thought it was a promise. Promise, then they have to keep it, and this is how they are tired today.

The firewood on this mountain has been "picked up" by them. They have to change places next time, or wait a month or two to come back. In short, the next few bundles will definitely not be as easy as today.

Moreover, they are exhausted today, and they have to slow down next time they go into the mountains.

When they arrived at Qin's house, it was already half an hour later. Instead of entering the door, they silently put the firewood under the big pine tree seven or eight meters away from Qin's house. Seeing that someone came out to check, they also left.

"Xiaoxi, those people are here to pick up firewood." Qin He walked over to have a look, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he went back to the house and said to Qin Xi who was sitting warming himself by the fire.

I didn't expect that group of people to be really trustworthy. They brought eight bundles of firewood before the day arrived.

Although the size of the firewood varies, there is absolutely no fooling around. On average, a bundle weighs more than 20 kilograms. When they usually collect firewood, a bundle of firewood weighs about the same.

"Go and have a look." Qin Xi didn't comment, but got up and walked out.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

How about the specifics, you have to see it with your own eyes before you can count.
