Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 297 Reunion
After everything is done, the husband and wife are going back to Huju Mountain.

Ning Wan didn't think much about it before, she just felt that when Tie Shi came, she should go with Tie Shi, so she had already visited her natal family and relatives and friends everywhere.But when it was time to leave, he suddenly changed his mind, and discussed with Tie Shi at night, "Why don't you go back first, I will accompany my mother-in-law to celebrate the New Year before going there."

Tie Shiyuan was only able to return to the army with him as his daughter-in-law. Now he couldn't help being a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood, so he gently stroked his daughter-in-law's back and said, "It's better that you think carefully."

"I've been very busy these days. First I saw off Brother Luo and my sister, and then there was Ning Qing. I haven't really thought about it, but when I saw my mother-in-law making jerky today, I felt that I should stay with her." Ning Wan said softly: "I want to accompany you too, but after all, our days are still long."

Lu Tieshi just laughed, he knows how much his daughter-in-law hates him best, but she still thinks about the old man and the child, and when it comes to it, she is thinking about herself. "For so many years, I haven't spent much time at home. My mother is really lonely. Fortunately, I have you and Huai Hua'er. It can be seen that I got married very well!"

"It's really silly, it's not like this when someone gets married."

"No, my wife is the best, no one else can compare to her!"

The two laughed and quarreled under the covers for a while, and the next day Ning Wan quietly packed up Tie Shi's things by herself, and sent him out a few days later.

When the mother-in-law knew that her son was about to get on the horse, she complained to them and said, "Why don't you discuss it with me and make up your own mind! I'm not alone at home with Sophora japonica, but it's so deserted for Tieshi to spend the New Year on the mountain alone!"

Tie Shi had already got on his horse, pulled the rein and said with a smile, "It's not deserted at all during Chinese New Year in the army. Hundreds of people are having barbecue and drinking together. It's more lively than at home!"

Aunt Wu and the others persuaded, "Isn't it convenient for Madam to accompany the old madam after fifteen years before going to the army? And we can also go to the county to watch the lights together."

Mrs. Wu had always had nothing to do with her son, but now she saw her son riding away on a horse in smoke, she went back to her room and said to her daughter-in-law: "It's not because of you. Nothing happened." He glanced at his daughter-in-law's stomach as he spoke.

Ning Wan felt a little guilty, she had agreed to her mother-in-law, but she was not too stubborn.Now she blushed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely conceive after the New Year!"

The mother-in-law of someone else's family would not believe such words, but Mrs. Wu has already believed in her daughter-in-law very much after many things, so she smiled, "Well, you should hurry up after the new year and have another child." She complained about her son and daughter-in-law, but she didn't mean it sincerely. The house where the daughter-in-law stayed was more lively and festive, so how could the elderly not be happy?

Not to mention all the things that happened in Lu's old house years ago, but to say that Tie Shi came back suddenly on the afternoon of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.He galloped over on a big black horse in a suit of armor, and stunned the whole family who were accompanying Sophora japonica setting off firecrackers in front of the courtyard.Everyone was happy while the other was worried, "Why are you back at this time?"

Ning Wan was especially nervous, and immediately thought, "Could it be that the barbarian is calling?" Although she remembered that the barbarian went south should be autumn, it might not be known if things have changed, so she ran forward to ask in a moment of urgency.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so worried, Tie Shi laughed, "Why did you come up with this idea? There are many stations along the way from Duolun to Hutai. Wouldn't the news of the military situation come first? At that time, everyone would naturally avoid Hutai County. , why wait until I come over!"

Ning Wan thinks about it as well.Didn't Xu Qianhu get the news and run away early?In fact, I also have the opportunity to run, but I don't want to leave the whole family behind.As the time I remembered in the dream was approaching, I was actually a bit of a loser.And just like other things have changed, the barbarians may not really come.

At this time, Lu Tieshi had already jumped off his horse in a blink of an eye, "Just received the document, the imperial court appointed the crown prince, and the whole world celebrates. Anpingwei will have a military parade on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and thousands of households will be recruited back to the Acropolis. I can spend this year at home too! "Speaking and laughing, a pair of bright eyes swept across the face of the daughter-in-law.

Looking at his bright smile, Ning Wan suddenly remembered their encounter in Hutai County back then, her face became hot, and she quickly hugged her daughter to stand in front of her, "Hua Hua'er, your father is back to celebrate the New Year with us!"

Sophora Hua'er clapped her little hands and laughed, "Father is back for the New Year!"

Tie Shi went up to take his daughter and put it on his shoulders, and together with his wife helped her back home, "Our family is the most complete for Chinese New Year this year!"

The most important thing in the Chinese New Year is reunion, and the mother-in-law smiled when she heard that, "No way!" Then she said: "It seems that the imperial court's appointment of a crown prince is really a good thing, and our family will follow suit."

The prince in the distant capital, in fact, everyone didn't recognize and didn't care about it at all, but now he borrowed his light to reunite with his family, so he was praised a few times, but then he was completely forgotten and talked about his own family. little things.

Although Tieshi can go home for the New Year, in fact, not all of them can.This time, he came back with two soldiers from hundreds of households and waited outside Anping City. At the end of the fifth day, he had to go to Anpingwei to form a military parade with all the troops, so he gave everyone a holiday and brought dozens of soldiers with him. The soldiers who couldn't go home went to the old house of the Lu family and resettled everyone in the new house-so although he went home, he didn't die without incident.

But this is enough to make everyone in the old house extremely happy.Ning Wan said to her mother-in-law: "There are so many people here, they must be counted as our guests. In the evening, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will treat everyone to a bar."

The mother-in-law laughed, "Didn't you just say you were going to make a mutton pot tonight? You might as well invite everyone to eat the same pot. I will pay for everything!" Then she asked Aunt Wu to get the money.

Elderly people who have money in their hands like to treat guests generously. Ning Wan smiled and cheered for her mother-in-law. Contribute."

Quanyang Guozi is the most commonly eaten pot in Liaodong. It has a strong taste and is not difficult to make.There are many people in the family, and Ning Wan assigns them one by one: those who buy sheep, those who buy chickens, those who buy various materials, and those who stay at home also perform their duties.

After the distribution was complete, she took a knife and cut the cabbage.The cabbage stored in the cellar has been stored for several months, and one or two layers of leaves on the outside have withered, but after peeling off, the white and fresh cabbage inside is revealed. There is an extra sweetness, and the taste is better than fresh vegetables, especially suitable for cooking pots.She picks and washes the leafy vegetables, and cuts them into three-inch long strips, stacking them neatly in one place.

Lu Tieshi changed his clothes a long time ago. Looking at his hair wrapped in a handkerchief and a calico apron around his body, the busy daughter-in-law couldn't help showing a smile, went into the kitchen and leaned over and said, "You really cut the cabbage really well." Well, it is exactly the same as the vermicelli cut into sections over there."

Ning Wan smiled and said, "This cabbage should be cut to the same size as the vermicelli. It will look good when it is soaked in water and spread on the bottom of the hot pot."

Lu Tieshi was about to take the kitchen knife, "I can cut it so well, why don't I help."

Ning Wan heard that Mrs. Bi and Wan's were snickering, so she put on a straight face and said, "How can you use you for these small things at home? Just now, my mother-in-law asked you to go over and ask about things, why don't you hurry over there."

Where did the mother call herself?Lu Tieshi felt his wife's embarrassment, so he said: "I'm just asking casually," and said: "I think your apron strap is a little loose, come here and help you tighten it." He fiddled with his daughter-in-law's waist Twice, gently pinched before going to the upper room.

After a while, he came in again with his daughter on his back, and said to his daughter-in-law confidently: "Hua Huaer wants to see how to make a mutton pot, so mother asked me to bring her here!"

How could Huaihua know how to cook at such a young age? He must have instigated it!Ning Wan wanted to laugh but tried her best to keep her face sullen, "Since Huai Huaer wants to see it, you take her with you, and don't let her touch a knife or anything."

So Lu Tieshi walked around beside his wife openly, and as for Huai Huaer, she sat on her father's shoulder and looked around condescendingly. I am happy, I feel that the Lord is more fun than other places.

After a while, the mother-in-law also came over with an apron tied on, and smiled at her daughter-in-law and asked, "Look you are busy, let me help with some work too."

Normally, Ning Wan would not allow her mother-in-law to do things long ago, but today was different, so she said with a smile: "It happens that the dishes are almost ready, mother-in-law will take everyone to set the pot."

The mother-in-law took Aunt Wu to the new house with a big bowl of vegetables.

After a while, Ning Wan passed by and saw her mother-in-law carefully arranging the dishes in the marching pots one by one: the bottom layer of cabbage and vermicelli were placed in a dark iron pot like white jade; The cooked mutton slices of lamb head meat, lamb eye meat, lamb marrow meat, lamb heart meat, lamb loin meat, lamb tail meat, etc. are neatly arranged in layers; then the fungus slices, mushroom slices , daylily, and magnolia slices are arranged in several circles according to the color, black, brown, yellow and white; finally sprinkled with ginger, green onion, coriander powder, pepper and other seasonings, the pot looks like a big flower.

Sophora Hua'er sat on a high place and clapped her hands early and laughed, "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Tie Shi couldn't help but say, "It really took a lot of work!"

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "It's a big festival, even if it takes some effort, it should be done!"

Once Quanyang Guozi has done this step, everything is ready. Ning Wan brought someone to pour the boiled chicken soup into the pot, and at the same time put a lid on it and light it on fire. The pot is ready to eat when the soup in the pot boils.

When the pot is boiled, the aroma immediately overflows. The mutton is delicious. The cabbage and vermicelli on the bottom of the pot become more delicious after being soaked in the aroma of the mutton. Everyone eats while drinking the soup, accompanied by good wine , The martial arts arena in the old house was full of voices.Lu Tieshi walked around in front of each cauldron, ordered two general banners to accompany everyone, and went home by himself.

The Lu family also eats pots, and the two kang tables are set up differently. One is the same whole lamb pot as the outside, but slightly smaller; the other is a vegetarian pot for the old lady, and the meat is replaced with various mushrooms and fungus. , Dried.Huai Hua'er clapped her little hands and said, "It's time to light the fire! It's time to light the fire!"

The hot pot at home is naturally much more particular than that in the military. The shiny brass pot is placed on a plate filled with a shallow layer of water. Various foods have been packed in the pot. Now pour the soup into it and cover it. The same brass lid, added charcoal to the inside of the pot.It turned out that the pot was hollow, and there was a cylinder standing in the middle for adding charcoal. The charcoal was put in here, and the brass pot was just heated up, and the water vapor lingered in the room.

After eating a few chopsticks of mutton, Tie Shi said to his wife, "Pour me a glass of wine."

Ning Wan herself has a winemaking workshop, and the family bought a lot of sorghum wine today, but she waved her hand, "The wine has been delivered to the new house, I'll serve you a bowl of soup."

The mother-in-law brought a bowl of fresh soup from her own pot, "I add wolfberries, red dates, and Hericium erinaceus to the soup here. It is the most nourishing. It is better for you to drink a bowl than to drink."

Tie Shi has always been a bad drinker, and today he just mentioned it casually, so he drank the soup and praised his mother and daughter-in-law, "It's a good treat for you this time!"

The mother-in-law laughed, "It's all made by your daughter-in-law Zhang Luo."

Ning Wan said, "It's not the money from my mother-in-law!"

"My money was given by both of you."

The whole family laughed, and the room was full of joy.
