Before being reborn and returning to the city, he flirted with a crazy loyal dog and a rough guy to

In this way, Gu Xia and the others no longer need to prepare pork for the New Year, and they can't finish all the pork given by the villagers alone.

As for other New Year's goods, there are fresh vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse, and you can pick them anytime you want.

Gu Xia fried the peanuts and melon seeds himself in a big iron pot, and they tasted great, much better than those bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as the people who came to their home to pay New Year's greetings ate their melon seeds, they sat there and started chatting. They ate handful after handful and left after chatting until their mouths were dry.

When you finally leave, you have to shamelessly grab a handful of melon seeds or peanuts and put them in your pocket.

The children in the village knew that their melon seeds, peanuts and fried soybeans were delicious, so they all came to kowtow and say good luck to the New Year, and finally left with a smile on their faces as they filled their pockets.

In addition to meat, vegetables, roasted seeds and nuts and other snacks, the New Year goods to prepare include various kinds of steamed buns, steamed buns, fried goods, etc.

Needless to say about steamed buns, everyone made seven or eight pots of noodles and steamed them together, which was enough for more than ten days, because everyone said steamed buns were not steamed during the first month.

However, they don't steam that much. The steamed buns that are left too long are as hard as rocks and really don't taste good.

Gu Xia mixes the meat filling for the buns, and everyone makes them again.

As for fried fish, fried dried sweet potatoes, fried crispy pork and other fried goods, the apprentice sister-in-law is in charge of cooking, with Gu Xia guiding them.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, there was no fried crispy meat or fish at home, only dried sweet potatoes, white flour leaves and other things.

As long as it's fried, even if it's cornmeal, it's very fragrant.

On weekdays, no one would have the luxury of frying food.

It only explodes a little during the Chinese New Year.

I don’t know how to make meat buns, so the little bit of meat stuffing I get is used to make a big dumpling. The rest will be dried and made into bacon that can be stored for a long time. Every time there are guests at home, some will be cut off and put in vegetables.

This year is certainly different!

Everything is prepared in excess, and after the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will entertain relatives. The dishes will be prepared more abundantly, so we won’t be afraid of not being able to finish them all.

In addition to these foods, Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, new clothes and shoes are also essential for the New Year.

Gu Xia and his family not only put up Spring Festival couplets and the words "blessing" in their home, they also hung up many red lanterns and colorful ribbons. It was nothing more than a display of lanterns and festoons.

The red lanterns are not bought, they are made with bamboo sticks and red paper, with candles inside.

Many people in the village know this craft, including Ye Jialei.

Gu Xia took the children at home to learn how to make red lanterns with Ye Jialei, which was fun and exercised the children's hands-on skills.

Among them, Chuntao is the oldest and the fastest to learn. She has already started her apprenticeship after learning to make a red lantern.

A few four- and five-year-old children were just playing and not causing trouble, so they couldn't help.

However, they were all chirping and very happy.

She thinks this game of making red lanterns is good and very educational.

Li Xianglian and the others laughed at her for doting on her children, obeying them in everything, and even playing with her.

Gu Xia can understand the mentality of parents now.

It’s great to be able to fill your stomach. No matter how capable you are, you can send your children to school. Spending money to send your children to school is the greatest education.

There are many children in the family, and the older ones look after the younger ones. No adults are free to play with the children.Therefore, in the eyes of Li Xianglian and others, Gu Xia's behavior was a case of pampering a child too much.

Gu Xia thought to herself, where is she?

You will never imagine that in the future, every family will only have one child, and the grandparents will take care of it. The whole family will revolve around one child, but they will still feel exhausted.

There are also firecrackers and fireworks now, but compared with later generations, the types are very simple. The advantage is that they are not prohibited from being set off.

Ye Jialei bought a lot of cannons and let the children at home have a good time.

As for new clothes, Gu Xia is here, and everyone in the family has a woolen coat and new cotton-padded clothes.

Gu Xia doesn't have time to make duck down himself, otherwise he would make down jackets for everyone, which are lighter and warmer.

As for the new shoes, my mother-in-law prepared them in advance and made them by myself.

Nowadays, leather shoes are single, without velvet inside.

They look good, but in the winter when the temperature is below zero, it’s too cold and my toes freeze.

Everything for the New Year was prepared. When waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Xia's carefully prepared New Year's Eve dinner fed everyone.

After dinner, everyone sat together to watch the New Year's Eve. The children all went back to sleep before twelve o'clock.

Gu Xia and the others ate melon seeds and chatted. Amidst the laughter and laughter, the new year arrived unknowingly.

"Happy New Year!" Gu Xia smiled and said to Ye Jialei,
"I hope you will be well and in good health in the new year."

Ye Jialei smiled, shook her hand, and whispered, "It's enough to have you by my side."

It's really hard for a man like him to say such love words in front of so many people.

Ye Jiaming laughed and cheered, "Oh, the third child is quite good at sweet-talking."

"Hmph! Look at Lao San, people who don't usually talk much know how to say something nice. You talk loudly every day, but now you can't even hear a word." Zhang Feng pinched the back of his hand unhappily.

"Ouch. You bitch, you are really getting more and more angry." Ye Jiaming screamed and said with a playful smile,
"So, leader, do you have any specific instructions? Whatever you want to have or buy in the new year, I will arrange it for you!"

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Zhang Feng heard the unforgiving words and narrowed his eyes ridiculously, saying,

"This year we will build a house first. We will build a bigger house with red bricks on the ground. Anyway, don't worry about the money and build it as soon as possible."

With that said, Zhang Feng looked at Sun Mei and Gu Xia again and asked them,

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoxia, what do you think? How do you want to build the house? How about we exchange homesteads with the villagers? The three families can still build together. We can take care of each other if we live closer."

"I think you want to make a living, and you also want Xiaoxia to help you take care of your children!" Li Xianglian glared at her and said.

"Hey, Mom, of course not. I am now Xiaoxia's follower, no, my secretary. Of course I have to live close by and follow her orders at any time. As for having a meal occasionally, the children can play together and listen to Xiaoxia's stories. Singing and stuff like that, oh, it's all incidental.

Zhang Feng grinned and said shamelessly.

Gu Xia smiled and said,
"Houses need to be built, but what I want is for the village to build buildings uniformly. Building ten six-story buildings will not only allow all the [-] households in the village to live in, but also leave a large number of vacant buildings for everyone to provide. It will be used for the marriage of future children and grandchildren.

Now that we have a biogas tank and our pig farm is there, we don’t have to worry about running out of biogas.

With this biogas, after we build a building, we can provide unified gas supply and let everyone use biogas stoves for cooking. This is clean, trouble-free and fast. "(End of chapter)
