Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1102 Second Brother's Birthday
Mrs. Fang Xu used to go into the kitchen to help cut vegetables and take seasoning jars during Chinese New Year. Today, she just walked around the door and said with a smile: "There are so many people? The kitchen can't be crowded, so I won't go in and make trouble." Already."

Fang Xiaofu was teaching his sisters how to prepare marinated eggs. Hearing this, he glanced at Fang Xu. Fang Xu gave her a mocking look, then turned around and went to talk to Ziya.

Fang Xiaofu looked away, and asked Fang Liu to mash the steamed potatoes to make potato cakes and potato balls.Fang Yang's side is preparing the ingredients for stir-frying three delicacies.

At noon, some people who ate the New Year’s dinner early had already started to set off firecrackers. Zihong and Zisheng ran back from the outside and asked anxiously when they would eat the New Year’s dinner?

It is also a custom to not lag behind in the New Year's meal.

Although there are twelve dishes in Fang Xiaofu's menu, four of them are cold dishes, which are easy to put together. Adding two thick and clear soups and two desserts, the table is still very rich.

This is a family New Year's Eve. In the evening, in addition to the leftovers, stewed pig's feet and dumplings are added. The supper for the New Year's Eve is wine glutinous rice balls with cakes. It's as simple as that.

The next day is the highlight of the new year. Early in the morning, the whole family will worship their ancestors, and the second master's family will also come over.After worshiping the ancestors, the two families eat together as a family.

The old man is only a brother like the second master, he is relatively single, and he has a good relationship since he was a child. Although the family separated, the ancestral card is still on the old man's side.

Therefore, every year on the first day of the new year, we worship the ancestors together.

The menu Fang Xiaofu prepared for the next day consisted of four cold dishes, twelve large and small dishes of meat and vegetables, two different soups, and six desserts.

The table was so full that they started to set up plates.

There are 24 bowls and plates, large and small, but there are several reasons for such a grand ceremony.

One is that the old couple worship their ancestors and have a reunion dinner together; the other is to get a good fortune on the first day of the new year;

Of course, the second brother's birthday must be carefully prepared.Fang Xiaofu said this to Fang Ziyuan, and Fang Ziyuan immediately coaxed him to smile like a spring breeze.

But what made Fang Ziyuan the happiest was not the meal, but the tassel that Fang Xiaofu made up for him during the night watch last night.

Eighteen pearls are used to make a wishful knot, and the extra pearls are also strung into a thread, and then tied with a white jade pendant, which is very elegant and high-quality.

He was so happy that he put the jade on on the spot, but he still reluctantly put it away again.Others only said that he was reluctant to part with the jade pendant, but in fact he was reluctant to part with this tassel, for fear of getting it dirty or wearing it out.

Seeing his son's face full of joy, Fang Xu felt very uncomfortable and snorted coldly, but after receiving a few scrutinizing glances, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Fang Xiaofu ignored her, and taught the sisters how to tie the net with a smile.It was the first time for Fang Yingchun to experience this kind of New Year's atmosphere, and she was full of longing while feeling complicated.

Apart from not daring to look at Fang Xu, she was still in a very happy mood.

Although Fang Zhiyi and Fang Xushi came back, Fang Yingchun bowed to them and apologized for their previous stupidity, but Fang Xushi just snorted and walked away without saying anything.

Fang Yingchun felt very ashamed, but Fang Xiaofu said that this was her own mistake, and she must bear the consequences herself, so she can only learn from it and never make another mistake.

After that, except for a little bit of weird atmosphere, everyone passed the New Year's Eve in peace, and it was the first day of the first lunar month.

After worshiping the ancestors and eating lunch, the adults sat together drinking tea and chatting, and also called out to the brothers.The sisters went to wash the dishes, and the younger brothers went outside to play with cannons in the yard.

Seeing that the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were all left behind, Fang Xiaofu didn't know what the adults wanted to ask, so he also stayed and sat beside Fang Zizhan.

"Erlang has turned eighteen from today, and he's already eaten nineteen." The second master was pushed out as a representative, and asked Fang Ziyuan with a smile, "I don't know what's the plan for this year?"

"I want to try the township examination this year. If I pass the exam, I will earn a lot of money." Fang Ziyuan said with a smile.Yes, you are a big man, and of course you have to think like a big man.

"Take the exam this year?" Not to mention the second master, even the old man was a little surprised and said, "It's so hard, let's talk about it two years later. You are different from Yunxuan, he will be a few years older than you."

In the eyes of adults, their brothers are still teenagers, and Lu Yunxuan is 21 years old, he is already a big man.

"Master, I'm just going for the provincial examination, not to go to Beijing next year to rush for the examination." Fang Ziyuan quickly explained, "Since I am the No. 2 scholar on the top list, I always have the opportunity to participate in the provincial examination."

"Our Fang family has a juren, so doing business is more secure. And I have made an appointment with cousin Jiahan, so we will try it out."

Fang Ziyuan looked at Fang Zizhan while talking, and said: "Although the third child is fifth in the exam, he is younger after all. You don't have to follow so closely, you will tire yourself out, and the fourth child is the same."

"Brother, there is no need to worry. After all, he was limited by his family in the past. He didn't have as much time to study as our younger brothers. Now that the family is better, he can concentrate on studying, just laying the foundation."

Fang Zijian smiled, but didn't say anything.

In fact, everyone knows his situation. Fang Xiaofu also knows that his eldest brother once wanted to drop out of school and give up the exam. Now it is not easy to be on the top list, even if he is No.10.

"Well, you can go and try it." The old man stopped blocking him after hearing this, and turned to Fang Zijian and said, "Da Lang, what are your plans for this year?"

Fang Zijian didn't expect to ask himself the question in the blink of an eye, and suddenly he hesitated.And Fang Xiaofu also somewhat understood the intentions of the adults, but he didn't expect to mention it on the first day of the new year.

Perhaps people in this era also understand that the plan for a year lies in spring and the new year's new atmosphere.

"If Dalang has any ideas, just tell him. What are you hiding? Look at Erlang. If you want to test Juren, you can tell it clearly, and save everyone from guessing." Fang Xu laughed when he saw this.

It's just that other people couldn't understand the meaning of her words, but the few people who had already had a rift with her frowned when they heard that they were mocking Fang Zijian with Fang Ziyuan.

"Big brother has big brother's considerations, how can it compare to me being carefree and doing whatever I want?" Fang Ziyuan immediately asked to help big brother, and gave his mother a displeased look.

"Why are you glaring at me? I don't want to scold you for the Chinese New Year, you unfilial son!" Fang Xu's face immediately dropped, and she glared at Fang Ziyuan.

"Third daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" The old man knocked on the cigarette pot by the table, gave Fang Xu a bad look, and said in a low voice, "Third daughter-in-law, you have a good temper this time."

When he said this, the others also looked at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu's face blushed, she quickly got up and saluted the old man, explaining: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare, but she complains that Erlang neglected the marriage, and she is not very happy."
