Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 223

Cheng He was preparing to make dinner when Cheng Shi came and asked the father and daughter to go to their house for dinner.

Anyway, they usually eat together, and they might as well eat together on the first day of this year.

Cheng Xinxin had just hidden her box, ran out and saw Cheng Shi.Suddenly, as if she had done something and was known by others, she hid behind her father and chuckled softly.

She thought Cheng Shi saw her hiding something.

Cheng He caressed his daughter from behind, and couldn't help smiling. The child couldn't hide anything on his face. It was the first time he hid something, and it immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing her appearance, Cheng Shi teased her: "Xinxin, what did you hide? Don't show it to uncle? Uncle's house also has good things, do you want it?"

"No. I have it myself."

"what do you have?"

"I will not tell you."

"Then I won't tell you either."

Cheng Xinxin didn't answer anymore, and ran from behind to the front of her father, buried her face in her father's knee, and twisted her legs.It seems that Cheng Shi did not deceive her.

lovely child.

With her, it's really more fun. I don't know how much.

Cheng He laughed, picked up his daughter, and said, "Come on, let's go to Uncle Cheng Shi's house for dinner."

Cheng Xinxin turned her head, saw the little wild goose, and greeted her, "Jiujiu, let's go, let's go to Uncle Cheng Shi's house for dinner."

Walking into the yard, I saw the big yellow dog again, and said, "Take it, let's go, let's go to Cheng Shi's house for dinner."

This is to bring the whole family along.

Cheng Shi said: "Xinxin, there is still a cage of chickens, do you want to call them together?"

"No, the little chicken won't go." Cheng Xinxin said.

The voice is soft and childish.

"Why?" Cheng Shi asked.

Cheng Xinxin suddenly felt embarrassed, she didn't speak, but buried her face in her father's neck, secretly smiling.

Cheng He is also very curious, what is this girl thinking?
He whispered, "Come on, tell Daddy, why isn't the chicken going?"

Cheng Xinxin put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear: "Because... because the chickens were brought over by their family, if they go with us, they won't be able to come back. Uncle won't let them come back."

Cheng He was taken aback for a moment, the chick was indeed brought over at Cheng Shi's house.But after so long, she still remembers it!

He said: "Honey, don't worry, Uncle Cheng Shi's family won't want to go back. That's our chicken."

This girl knows to worry about her family.

I just don't know where her idea came from.

When he arrived at Cheng Shi's house, there were still two or three people sitting in his house, all of whom were his own uncles, chatting with Cheng Shi's father.

When several people saw Cheng He coming in, they all greeted him warmly.

Cheng Shi's mother came out to meet her, and said to Cheng Xinxin, "Xinxin, please call me."

Cheng Xinxin didn't need to teach at this time, and said sweetly, "Grandma, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

"Hey, okay, okay, this girl is really sensible. Come on, grandma will give you a red envelope." Then, she took out another red envelope and handed it over.

Cheng Xinxin quickly caught it.

"Baby, didn't you take grandma's red envelope today? You can't take this." Cheng He said.

"What are you talking about the child! Give it to her. You can't talk about the child in the first year of junior high school." Cheng Shi's mother stopped Cheng He from admonishing the child, and said, "Xinxin, don't listen to your father. Grandma can accept it."

She really likes this kid.

Then, he took another look at Cheng Shi, this brat, he is not married yet this year!He didn't like any of the relatives he met a few years ago!When can such a cute child be born!
I wanted to scold him a few words, forget it, today is the first year of junior high school, let's talk about it in a few days.

She glanced at Cheng Xinxin again, and said, "Xinxin, put away the red envelope and don't lose it. Tell grandma, what do you want to eat?"

Cheng Xinxin smiled, put the red package into her pocket, and said, "Grandma, I want to eat ice cream."

"Ice what?"

"ice cream."

Cheng He hurriedly said to Cheng's mother: "Auntie, don't listen to the nonsense of the child, she will eat everything."

Cheng Shi's mother hadn't heard what Cheng Xinxin said clearly, so she asked persistently: "That won't work, the child obviously wants to eat, she said, what about ice?"

"Grandma, it's ice cream." Cheng Xinxin spoke more clearly.

Cheng He said: "Grandma doesn't have ice cream here. How can there be? Can't you say that a grandma's house has it?"

Cheng Xinxin said again, "Then I'll eat fish."

"Hey, okay, we really want to eat fish. Grandma is going to fry the fish, you guys hurry up and sit on the table." Cheng Shima understood now and replied happily.

After speaking, he went to the kitchen.

……

On the second day of junior high school, Cheng He had nothing to do, so he took his children to the temple fair in town.

Those who come back to recognize their ancestors will arrive tomorrow, and there is no need to pick them up today.

Temple fairs are actually a very old thing. During the Nanshan generation, many places had the tradition of holding temple fairs.But in recent decades, the wave of anti-superstition and anti-feudalism has been very strong, and temple fairs in many places have long since disappeared.

But over the years, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year has become more and more deserted, and there are signs of gradual rise of lantern festivals and temple fairs in various places.

In the past two years, Nanshan City has changed its tricks to do something every new year.

This year, there will be a temple fair from the first day to the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and it is quite lively watching it on TV.Anyway, there is nothing to do, Cheng He decided to take his daughter to see.

The little girl said last time that she wanted to eat McDonald's, and yesterday she said that she wanted to eat ice cream, so let's take her there to eat today.

The temple fair in Nanshan City was entrusted by the city to Fuxing Park, because there is a very popular Tianwang Temple in Fuxing Park, which has been full of incense in the past.

Fuxing Park has long been free for citizens to enter for leisure.There is a huge open space in front of the park. There are usually no people there. During the few days of the temple fair, it was almost occupied by some vendors.

This adds to the lively atmosphere.

It's the second day of junior high school, and it's nothing more than selling all kinds of snacks, fried and roasted kang, all of them.

There were too many people, Cheng He was afraid that his daughter would be crowded, so he hugged her up.In addition, there were too many people, and the little girl was too short, so following in the crowd, she could only watch her legs.

If she hugs her high, she can also watch some fun.

It was the first time for a child to watch a temple fair, and he looked around happily, his eyes were almost used up, and he was so happy to watch.

"Dad, I want to eat that..."

She pointed to a fried tofu stand from a distance and said.

The fried tofu stand is an ordinary-sized stove with a pan on it, and a layer of oil on the surface. The tofu is cut into mahjong-sized pieces and fried on it.

When it is fried until the two sides are yellow, sprinkle some seasonings and green onion on top, it looks very eye-catching and very appetizing.

As the saying goes, tofu mixed with scallions is clear and white.And now the tofu that has been fried to a golden skin is very attractive in color.

When no one is buying, the stall owner puts the fried tofu on the outer ring of the pan without adding any seasoning for the time being.The temperature there is not high, but it is not cold, which can ensure that the tofu is not mushy, nor cold.

Cheng He said, "Come here."

"Big or small?"

Cheng He thought, how much can a child eat?Then he said: "Let's keep it small. Children eat it."

"Okay."

The stall owner quickly shoveled the tofu cubes into a box, sprinkled a layer of seasoning on top, added finely chopped green onions, and handed it over, still steaming.

Cheng He paid the money, took the box of fried tofu, walked to a place with fewer people, and sat down on a stone pier.

Then he said: "Baby, take it, Dad, you eat. Slow down, be careful not to burn it, and be careful not to get the bamboo stick in your mouth."

This kind of snack is not given chopsticks, but a pair of thin bamboo sticks.

Cheng Xinxin swallowed while agreeing, "Okay."

Children's families already hold chopsticks in a good shape, but now they are replaced with bamboo sticks, and there is no problem at all.

Although the tofu is fried golden on the surface, it is still very soft inside, and it will be pinched if you use too much force.

The little girl picked up a piece and said, "Father, try it."

Cheng He was moved for a while, his little padded jacket!If you want to eat something, remember to give Dad a taste first.

"You eat first. Baby."

"Dad eats first."

Cheng He saw that piece of tofu was crumbling on the bamboo stick. If it fell off in a while, he was afraid that the little girl would cry again, so he quickly bowed down and ate it into his mouth.

After eating this, I unexpectedly found that it was very delicious!
The tofu is very soft and tender, and the skin is fried until golden, but it is not hard at all, but a little crispy, very fragrant, and has a good taste.The most important thing is that the condiment is a mixture of many flavors, and it is delicious when sprinkled on the surface.

The taste is very well adjusted.

He suddenly felt a little regretful, why didn't he order two servings just now?
Cheng Xinxin was very happy to see her father eat, and now it's her tasting time.

After eating the tofu, the father and daughter felt endless aftertaste, and said repeatedly: "It's delicious."

Cheng He just thought, um, the child can't be fed with one kind of food, otherwise her stomach won't have room for other things.

After thinking about this excuse, he asked his daughter twice in a row.

Cheng Xinxin was naturally willing to accept his request.If it's someone else, that's another story.

A small bowl of fried tofu was eaten up quickly, it was hot, and I was a little sweaty after eating it.

The father and daughter squeezed into the turbulent crowd again to see what fun and delicious food there was.

On such occasions, balloon sellers are naturally indispensable.Cheng Xinxin chose two, one was Ba La Ba La Xiao Moxian, and the other was Piggy Peggy.

The hydrogen-oxygen ball is easy to fly away, Cheng He tied one end of the rope to her cuff, so that the little girl will not forget to play, and the balloon will fly into the sky as soon as she loosens her hand.

Looking at Cheng Xinxin's excited expression, going out to the temple fair is indeed much more interesting than staying at home.

As the crowd squeezed forward, a burst of clear flute sounds hit my ears, amidst the noisy waves, it was so fresh and refined.

Cheng He held the child in his arms and followed the prestige to see a stall selling bamboo and silk musical instruments. The stall owner, an old man, was playing the song "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms" melodiously and freshly.

Sure enough, the master is among the people.

Look at the old man who sells silk and bamboo instruments, he must be over sixty, and he can still play such melodious tunes.Not bad.
