Candide in Chronology is on strike

Chapter 36 New Year's Countdown Part [-]

"Ah? I don't know!" Qin Xi said pretending to be confused while brushing his thinning hair.

As long as she doesn't admit it, the person who just spoke is not her.

Qin Qing also woke up at this time. She was kicked awake this morning. The person who kicked her was still Qin Xi. Uncles can bear it, aunts can't bear it.

"Qin Xi, why are you kicking me?"

"If you don't say one, two, three, four, I won't let you go, and neither will my grandma."

While talking, Qin Qing rubbed her eyes, she is a little lady who pays attention to her image.

These days, she often sneaks into her mother's room and wipes her face with that clam oil. In winter, her face is dry, and other classmates wipe it. How could she not wipe it!

Her mother is too stingy, the mothers of other classmates use cream, which is fragrant, smells good and has a face, but her mother uses clam oil, and she doesn't know how to treat herself better.

"It's time for you to get up and make breakfast. I kicked you because I don't want to be hungry in the morning, and you don't want to go to school hungry either!"

"Look at the sky outside, it's already almost bright, if you continue to dawdle, do you think Mom will beat you up?" Qin Xi pointed to the window and kindly reminded her.

You know, when Ms. Liu Qin hits people, she is really ruthless.

Since Qin Qing was beaten up by her last time, now he always listens to her.

"Grandma, look at her." Qin Qing couldn't tell her, turned to look at Li Chunhua, and said coquettishly.

"Okay, isn't it just cooking?"

"I'll go." Li Chunhua gritted her teeth, lifted the quilt, and crawled out from the innermost side of the bed.

"Who made my life miserable for my old lady! I have such a daughter-in-law and grandchildren."

"People say that when you are old and have worked hard all your life, you should enjoy the blessings. My life is probably just a toil!"

After getting out of bed, putting on cotton trousers and cotton shoes, Li Chunhua tremblingly went to the kitchen to cook.

Her winter equipment is the most complete in the family, even cotton hats. Of course, none of them are new, they are all passed down from the old Qin family's ancestors. It's not completely rotten, but it can still be used after modification.

Seeing Li Chunhua get up and go out, Qin Qing sat up and gave Qin Xi a provocative look.

Unfortunately, the room was too dark, so Qin Xi couldn't see it.

"Did you see? My grandma loves me the most." Among little girls, there is nothing more satisfying than me having you and not having you.

Li Chunhua's doting is the source of her pride in this family. It can be said that there are six brothers and sisters in this family, and Qin Qing is not afraid of any of them. Li Chunhua's doting is her greatest confidence.

Looking at the childish Qin Qing, Qin Xi heheed twice, she really couldn't associate this annoying person in front of her with the heroine of the novel.

If it weren't for Qin Qing's frequent jumping in front of her, looking for a sense of presence, she would have forgotten that she was wearing a book. After all, she is in a living world now, and everyone she sees has flesh and blood No matter what, she couldn't put the three characters of paper man into them.

What's more, since the day she came, changes have already occurred, and the future is not static, so she doesn't need to worry about the plot of the novel, the development of the story, living in the present, living well, is to herself, to This body is the most responsible.

When the environment improves in the future, she still wants to take this body to see everywhere and travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland!

This morning's breakfast, Li Chunhua prepared very perfunctorily. It was just a pot of sweet potato soup. The sweet potatoes were cut into large pieces, and they were not boiled soft, just cooked.

Li Chunhua got up too late. He had to light the fire and clean up the sweet potatoes by himself, so he was in a hurry.

The sweet potato at home is a traditional old variety, also known as white potato. It tastes very powdery and full, but it is also really hard. At this time, this kind of sweet potato is used to make sweet potato wine. The pink glutinous sweet sweet potatoes are taller, but it is really difficult to step on the sweet potatoes. They are hot when they are just out of the pot, and they are hard when they are cold, like a stone. On the one hand, from time to time, I have to soak my feet wearing rubber shoes in a bucket of cold water to cool down. This is what Grandpa Qin Xi did when he was a child.

When Liu Qin got up and looked at the food in the rice bowl, she knew who cooked it. In this family, she was the only one who could cook things so sloppily.

It's useless to talk about it, and she doesn't bother to waste words, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, she is very busy, and it's time to prepare things for visiting her mother's seven aunts and eight aunts.

It's a pity that the chickens in the family don't like to lay eggs in winter. If there are forty or fifty eggs in the house now, she won't have to worry so much.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Stove Lord went to heaven. Although it is old-fashioned now, the smoky and black portrait of the Stove Lord at home has been burned long ago, but Liu Qin got up early in the morning and put a bowl where the portraits usually were. A small piece of brown sugar bowed towards the place where the statue of the Stove Lord was hung before.

After she finished eating, she put away the candy again, so as not to be eaten by the baby at home.

Whether it is a textile factory or a steel factory, it is not yet the time for the holiday. Last year, it was the holiday on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and this year is the same.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the house began to be cleaned. Liu Qin and Qin Shan were not at home. Li Chunhua became the overlord and ordered everyone except her and Qin Qing to be around.

Qin Xi thinks it's very lively. She likes such a lively atmosphere. Even though the room is full of dust and dust is falling on her body, the sound of the twins fighting, and Qin Jiang and Qin He who are sweeping the dust just like her, this It was a scene from her childhood dreams!

After cleaning the house at noon, the whole family sat around the stove in the afternoon, waiting for the water to boil while warming the fire. Like Qin Qing and Qin Xi, they must want to take a bath early. As for the twins, they want to take a later Wash it later, it is best not to wash it.

25. Grinding tofu. The Qin family didn't have a stone mill, nor did they plan to make tofu, but Li Chunhua got up early in the morning and didn't eat breakfast, so she hurriedly took the tofu ticket at home and went to the market to grab tofu.

One can imagine how lively the tofu stalls in the vegetable market will be today. If you go there late, it might be gone!

People go there after six o'clock, and they don't come back until seven o'clock or almost eight o'clock.

After going out all morning, Li Chunhua didn't feel cold. In the vegetable market, she was so hot and sweaty.

After buying two and a half catties of tofu, Bai Shengsheng's tofu immediately attracted everyone's attention, but you have to wait until evening to eat it. After all, Liu Qin and Qin Shan are still at work, so you have to wait for them. !
