Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 143 New Year's Eve

The glowing charcoal fire burning in the brazier reflected on the person's face, which was glowing red, adding a bit of joy.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng simply cleaned up, removed the leftover dishes from the table, cleaned the bowls and chopsticks, and took out several plates of melon seeds, peanuts and other dried fruits for everyone to share. Eat and chat to relieve boredom.

At this time, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly remembered the frozen persimmons he had put in the yard earlier, so he rushed to the yard, pulled out those frozen persimmons, put them in a basket, Take it to the main room.

These persimmons were specially picked by Lin Erniu up the mountain for Lin Xiaoqiao. Lin Xiaoqiao kept them and was not willing to eat them. He planned to freeze them into frozen persimmons to eat in winter.

Now, looking at the hard frozen persimmons on the table, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't wait to pick up one, gently tore open a hole in the skin, and took a sip with his mouth, the taste was really good, Sweet, and a bit icy cold.

After eating a frozen persimmon, Lin Xiaoqiao felt that the greasy feeling caused by eating too much dinner just now is gone, and now he is really comfortable physically and mentally.

The rest of the people were waiting to see Lin Xiaoqiao enjoying the frozen persimmon, and they didn't want to eat it because they were too full, but now they all picked up a frozen persimmon, imitating Lin Xiaoqiao's appearance and sucking it up.

After eating, everyone felt good, Chen Xuewen also praised that this frozen persimmon is really suitable for relieving greasy.

After everyone ate a frozen persimmon, Mrs. Li didn't let them eat more, saying that everyone's food was too greasy today, so they couldn't eat more of the cool frozen persimmons.

The rest of the people didn't have any complaints after hearing Li's words, only Lin Xiaoqiao muttered a few words in his heart: This is not enough, so I won't let others eat it, it's really boring.

When Li Shi saw her little girl's listless expression, she also knew in her heart that she was not happy for not being able to enjoy herself to the fullest.

However, Mrs. Li didn't think it was a big deal. She still knew this girl, and every family of children had this kind of temper, and it would be fine after a while.

Therefore, Mrs. Li put away all the leftover frozen persimmons on the table, and then ate melon seeds and chatted with the big guys.

Sure enough, without even having time for a cup of tea, Lin Xiaoqiao regained his former vigor, chatting and joking with the big guys with great interest, and later on, he himself adapted several scenes that he had seen in his previous life. It's a joke, tell it to add fun to everyone.

Those jokes were quite classic in the past. After Lin Xiaoqiao made some adaptations, he was beaming again, and told them one after another, so everyone laughed out loud.

The two brothers, Dalang and Erlang, laughed the most exaggeratedly, especially Erlang, who was originally a lively and active person. He listened to those strange jokes told by his younger sister, and couldn't help laughing for a while, leaning back on the chair On his back, his center of gravity suddenly became unstable, and he almost fell backwards.

Even Chen Xuewen and Widow Zheng, who were always prudent in their words and deeds, this time they laughed so hard that they changed their calm faces from the past.

It provoked Li Shi to smile and rub his belly, pointing to Lin Xiaoqiao, and said in his mouth: "You little man, how can you come up with such weird words, look at all of us I can't breathe because I laughed so hard! Hehe—"

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at all of them laughing exaggeratedly, and when he heard Li Shi's words, his face was full of complacency, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Hey, don't look at how clever my little head is! "

After saying this, I immediately got two supercilious looks. The two brothers Dalang Erlang looked at Lin Xiaoqiao's frightened look, and said jokingly, "Yes, look at how the seeds on our little girl's head grow. Yes, it’s full of food and things to play with!”

Lin Xiaoxi also joked and said: "Well, my little sister's head is different from other people's, let me take a good look at it! Ah, the top of the head seems to be square, and the shell of the head is also pointed, no wonder it is so You're smart!" As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xiaoqiao's little head.

Lin Xiaoqiao heard his brother and sister's jokes, and knew in his heart that they were just having fun, so he pouted his mouth and squinted his eyes, and said to Dalang Erlang and Lin Xiaoxi: "Hmph! Don't care about it with you, you are envious and jealous!"

Everyone was delighted to hear the interaction between the four brothers and sisters, and Widow Zheng couldn't stop laughing, and said in her mouth: "Oh, I can't breathe from laughing! These little ones Man, it's really interesting, it's so funny!"

Listening to Widow Zheng's words, Mrs. Li smiled and shed tears, and said: "These treasures in our family are really good at playing treasures today!"

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, the melon seeds and peanut shells on the table were also piled up in several small piles, and the tea in the teapot was refilled several times.

Mrs. Li saw that the time was almost up, and there was another hour until Zishi, the new year was coming, and everyone wanted to eat dumplings.

So, she took Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters to the kitchen to wrap up the dumplings, and Widow Zheng also came out to help.

This dumpling is also one of Lin Xiaoqiao's favorite foods, and dumplings are not often made at home, so Lin Xiaoqiao feels it is even more rare.

Therefore, when she was having dinner, she was only sixty percent full, and after eating some snacks and digesting for a while, she felt that she could still eat a dozen dumplings by herself.

This afternoon, Mrs. Li had already mixed the dumpling fillings, and now it was only necessary to mix the flour, roll out the dumpling wrappers, and wrap the dumplings.

So, in the kitchen, Mrs. Li was making noodles, Widow Zheng was rolling out dumpling wrappers, and Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters were wrapping dumplings, and their movements were quite nimble.

While making dumplings, Lin Xiaoqiao murmured to Lin Xiaoxi that she would like to eat some dumplings with what kind of stuffing later.

Speaking of the dumpling stuffing, Li Shi originally wanted to add a cabbage stuffing according to the old practice, but her little girl refused to let her see it.

Therefore, according to her little girl's opinion, Li made several kinds of dumpling fillings, and Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters wrapped some of each filling.

There are stuffed with cabbage and meat, mushrooms and fresh meat, chopped green onion and eggs, and a kind of stuffed with dried bamboo shoots and bacon meat, each of which packs [-] to [-] pieces.

After all the dumplings were wrapped, the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers outside also rang out one after another, and the hour of midnight was slowly approaching.
