The era of farming is so sweet

Chapter 163 165. New Year
At noon, the firm noodles are served with hot and sour toppings of minced pork with capers, a big bowl for one person.

After lunch, Jiang Weidong went to the post office in Yuxia Town to post things.

In the following days, I read medical books at home every day.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger.

Jiang Weidong and the others go out to shovel snow together every day.

Time slipped by his fingertips quietly.

At the end of the year, everyone is busy and busy.

Zhixia sent some more things over.

It was cold, a few people were sitting in the room, and Zhixia was flipping through medical books.

Wu Lanlan looked up, "Hey, are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Yuan Ling and Sun Hong shook their heads.

"No, I have to toss about ten days on the way back and forth. I won't go back this year."

Wu Lanlan blinked, "Oh, Fangfang, how about you?"

Shen Fangfang looked up, "If Ah Xia doesn't go back, I won't go back either."

After receiving their answers, Wu Lanlan nodded, "Okay, I've decided, I'll stay and spend the New Year with you guys. Let's have fun together,"

"Well, let's celebrate the New Year together."

"it is good."

……

In a blink of an eye, it is the root of the year.

Zhixia and the others cleaned up early in the morning, steamed buns and croquettes.

Every household is filled with the smell of food.

It's been a year, and the food is the best during the Chinese New Year. The pigs were slaughtered in the team, and a few people got a lot of meat.

Of course, among the few educated youths, they got the most points.

Zhou Yuan and Zhao Yujing went back in the first year of their marriage, and Bai Xue also went back home.

Only Zhang Ping and Wang Qian were left next door.

The men didn't go back either.

I brought some things over, and asked Zhixia to help cook some New Year's Eve dinner.

Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year must eat better, at least they don’t have to eat stick noodle porridge.

Zhixia also happily agreed.

It just so happened that Jiang Weidong ate with them.A few of them are at the same table.

On New Year's Eve, the house is full of joy.

Jiang Weidong and several big men posted Spring Festival couplets.

The windows were pasted with window grilles that Zhixia had cut. They were brightly red and festive.

Wu Lanlan, Shen Fangfang, and Sun Hong picked vegetables, and Yuan Ling helped Zhixia work on the chopping board.

Compared with the joy and harmony on their side.Zhang Ping and the others next door seemed a little more deserted.

Wang Qian was lying in bed reading a book, while Zhang Ping was lying down and sleeping.

No one has the intention of getting up to cook the New Year's Eve dinner.

It's just that her nose contracted inadvertently, revealing her thoughts, the food next door is really too tempting.

Gradually in the afternoon, the table was set.

There are two servings of cold dishes.

Cold bean sprouts vermicelli, pork skin jelly, pig ears, pig head meat.

I bought it at a butcher shop and cooked it myself when I came back.

Preserved eggs and a pound of stewed beef were sent by Jiang Weidong and his family.

Wu Lanlan's family has a lot of food, such as sea fish, sea shrimp, and white flour and rice.

When she knew that Wu Lanlan would not go back for the New Year, she sent a big package directly.With a letter written five sheets of paper.

Several cold dishes are on the table, and hot dishes are also prepared.

Steamed prawns with garlic vermicelli, pan-fried fish, braised pork, stewed pork ribs with radish, and stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes.

The dishes are put on the table one by one, and a cannon is fired at the door, and it is ready to eat.

On the boy's side, Jiang Weidong took out a bottle of white wine sent from home.Pour one cup per person.

The girl here is Zhixia's fruit wine with a different packaging.

Fill everyone up.

"Today is New Year's Eve, let's raise our glasses to celebrate the arrival of the new year, and I am even more happy to have your company. Although we come from different places, it is fate that we can sit together now, cheers."

"cheers."

……

The girls are eating happily here, while the boys are there.

Looking at the table full of dishes and drinking a glass of white wine, I feel a little melancholy.

Li Aiguo patted Jiang Weidong on the shoulder.

"Weidong, do you think we are good brothers?"

Jiang Weidong nodded, "Of course."

We have been together for a year, so there is naturally affection.

They are also pretty good, and they are also good people. Jiang Weidong naturally regards them as his own.

Hearing Jiang Weidong's words, Li Aiguo came over, "Then can you help and talk to Lin Zhixia, can you cook for us next year? Give her all the food, and eat whatever you choose. I'm giving you one yuan a month. Food expenses, this is the most money I can come up with. Do you think it will work?"

Wang Jinjin and Liu Aimin also followed suit.

Jiang Weidong thought for a while, "I'll ask for you tomorrow, but it's none of my business whether people agree or not."

Just asking, if Zhixia doesn't want to, there's nothing he can do.

Li Aiguo grinned happily, "Okay. Whether we can eat hot food and rice when we get off work will depend on you. You should help us speak well."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

After hearing his words, Li Aiguo felt relieved.

I also prayed that Zhixia would agree.

Because in the past year, the rice cooked by the few men was no different from pig food.

It's just too much salt and vinegar.

Especially when I come back from busy farming, I can hardly lift my arms and legs, and I have to cook.

I am very envious of Jiang Weidong who has hot food and rice after work.

And the rice cooked by Zhixia is really delicious, even a simple noodle soup, they also think it is delicious.

After dinner in the evening, the dishes were cleaned up, and several people sat on the kang to play cards and watch the new year.

Yuan Ling and Sun Hong also slept here.

Waking up early the next morning, Zhixia made a simmered soup.

In Shanxi Province, we eat noodles with glutinous rice flour on the first day of the Lunar New Year and dumplings at noon.

After eating in the morning, I was ready to make dumplings for noon.

Jiang Weidong called Zhixia out, and the two stood under the eaves.

"Zhixia, I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

Jiang Weidong pointed to their house.

"Yesterday, some people from Li Aiguo wanted me to ask you if I could help them cook together. You will be given all the food provided by the team, but the extra subsidy is only one yuan. This is the most money they can give. "

This issue……

"But my pot is so small, I can't cook meals for so many people at once."

Hear this question.

Jiang Weidong had no other choice.It's just how to talk to them.

Zhixia looked around.

Point to their house.

The place where the firewood is placed on the left wall, "Look at that place, these two days you have built a big pot, and you are buying a big pot. How about cooking for you there. Oh, yes, adding a small stove Taiwan, sometimes two pots cook together faster."

Hearing Zhixia's words, Jiang Weidong had a smile on his face, "Okay, anyway, I'm free these two days, we can get out by working faster."

"Okay, that's it."

Radish meat dumplings at noon.Nine people cooked three pots.

Tonight is yesterday's leftovers, white porridge and steamed buns.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a few people stayed at home and played cards.

In this era without TV entertainment, we can only play mahjong and cards to pass the time.

Jiang Weidong and the others quickly cleaned up the place while they had time.

Pick up soil and go out to carry stones.

Go to the woods behind to chop wood.
