farmer's husband

Chapter 43 New Year's Gifts for Cats
Uh……

Harue was embarrassed again.

"That, I..."

"Okay." But before she could say that she was Chou Yinmao, Chai Dong nodded his head, picked up the firewood and walked forward again.

Why did he suddenly agree so readily?Or...do you not want her to continue to be embarrassed?
Chun Zhi pursed her lips, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and hurriedly raised her heels.

The two of them worked together, Chun Zhi picked up firewood according to experience and tied it up, Chai Dong took it on his back, the movements became more and more proficient, and the cooperation became more and more tacit.Unknowingly, the awkward atmosphere between the two slowly disappeared.

When they gathered enough firewood and went back, they were already shoulder to shoulder.Although he didn't speak, anyone could see that intimate gesture.

This time Huang made carrot cake.It is to wash the white radish and cut into thin shreds, and marinate it with salt for a while.The overflowing radish juice is poured out separately, and mixed with sticky rice flour to form a thick slurry.Then cut a little pork belly and stir fry the oil, then add shredded radish and stir fry.After the fragrance overflows, add shredded radish and stir fry.Stir-fried shredded radish and radish pulp are mixed well, seasoned with salt, and then steamed in a steamer.

The food is simple, and the ingredients are not too much, but after steaming, you can open the lid of the steamer, and the fresh fragrance of radish accompanied by the strong fragrance of lard hits you head-on, which makes people gulp down.

Mrs. Wang let the radish cake cool down and poured it out, cut it into small pieces, first gave a larger piece to Chaidong, and then gave Chunzhi a smaller one. "Eat it!"

Chun Zhi hurriedly picked it up and took a bite, she immediately narrowed her eyes comfortably.

"It's delicious! Mother, you are amazing!" She nodded hastily, and quickly took several more bites.

Growing up in the village, even having a full meal is a luxury for her, let alone such snacks?Especially with the addition of pork in the dim sum!Chun Zhi really felt that he was going to die of happiness.

Mrs. Wang smiled triumphantly: "This thing is simple, and I know how to make a lot of dim sum! When I have money in the future, I will make a few more, and keep it so that you can't stop eating!"

"Really? Mother, who did you learn from?" Chun Zhi asked hurriedly.

"Is...you in control?" Wang Shi quickly realized this time, she immediately glared at Chun Zhi, "If you have something to eat, you can eat it for me! You shouldn't know about it, you Ask less!"

He ran out in a hurry.

Haruhi sighed helplessly. "I'm just asking, it's nothing else!"

"Then you shouldn't ask." Chai Dong next to him suddenly said heavily.

When Chun Zhi turned her head, she saw that his eyes were also slightly dull.

"Some things are better for you if you don't know about them." He said softly, then lowered his head and ate the carrot cake in hand.He probably ate half of it, and seeing that the piece in Chun Zhi's hand was also half eaten, he grabbed her pastry and stuffed his own into her hand.

Harue was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

"Hush!" Chai Dong quickly shook his head, "Be careful for my mother to hear!"

Then if Mrs. Wang came in and saw her holding Chai Dong's dim sum in her hand, she would definitely get angry again.

Of course Chunzhi understood what he meant, so she quickly shut up.

Chai Dong ate her half again and again, and then asked her, "Would your siblings like this?"

"Sure! They will be so happy to eat some, not to mention such delicious cakes?" Chun Zhi nodded hastily.

"Well, that's fine." Chai Dong nodded, then turned and left.

He... just left?Chun Zhi was a little dazed.She looked down at the radish cake in her hand, even if there was only half left, it was much bigger than the piece of pastry that Wang gave her, she still slowly brought the pastry to her mouth, and ate it bit by bit.

At night, Chunzhi didn't struggle any more, and just lay down on the bed.

When Chai Dong heard the voice behind him, a smile slowly appeared on his face facing the wall.

In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the New Year's Eve.

When Chun Zhi got up early in the morning, he, Chai Dong and Wang Shi cleaned up the house inside and out.Chai Dong also wrote a few couplets with a brush, and pasted them on the gate, every room door, and even the kitchen door.Chun Zhi then cut a few square pieces of paper with the remaining red paper and handed it to Chai Dong, and Chai Dong wrote a few big blessing characters with a brush dipped in ink, and Chun Zhi also took it and pasted it on the window.

The room was instantly filled with joy, but...it was still too deserted.

Counting it, this is the first time that Chunzhi celebrates the New Year in a place other than Gu's Village.I remember when I was in my natal family, there were so many siblings in the family, and everyone laughed and made noises on New Year's Day, not to mention how lively it was.Especially before the reunion dinner, everyone has to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors together. Although she is a girl and cannot enter the ancestral hall, the girls in the village all gather together to play, which is also lively!

But the Wang family and Chaidong no longer belong to Wangjiacun, and now they are only living here temporarily, so the ancestor worship in Wangjiacun has nothing to do with them.Chaidong Wang had little contact with the villagers, so this year was only spent by the three of them.This made Chun Zhi, who was used to the hustle and bustle of New Year's Eve, feel a little desolate.

Chai Dong noticed that her interest was fading, and his expression also dimmed.

Seeing that her son was not happy, Wang was not happy either.She quickly said to Chun Zhi: "Let me tell you, this is the condition of my family. Our mother and son have lived like this every New Year before, and it will definitely be like this in the future. You'd better get used to it early, otherwise I don't care!"

She knows, isn't she adapting now?It just takes some time to get used to it!Chun Zhi said quietly in his heart.

Just as she was thinking, she heard a cat meowing from the roof.

Chunzhi's heart moved, and he raised his head quickly, and a smile bloomed on his face immediately.

When Wang Shi heard this voice, her face immediately turned black. "Hurry up and call these cats down! The roof I just repaired, I can't let them be trampled!"

"Okay, got it!" Chun Zhi nodded quickly, and then greeted the cats.

The cats jumped off the roof immediately.

And after their feet landed on the ground, Chun Zhi discovered that almost each of these cats had a fish in their mouths!

After Wang and Chai Dong found out, they also froze there.

"What are they doing?"

Chun Zhi had already lowered her head, patted the heads of the cats that approached her one by one, and then looked at the pile of lively fish at her feet, she said with a low voice, "They are here to give us New Year's goods."

Of the fish in front of me, the lightest one weighs about half a catty, and the final one should be more than two catties, right?Seeing that the fish is still wet, it should have just been picked up from the river.After being thrown into the ground, some of them were still struggling tenaciously for the last time.

Looks like... well, it should taste good.

After delivering the fish to Chun Zhi's feet, the cats took a step back, sat across from them, raised their heads, and looked at them with round eyes.

Mrs. Wang snorted: "Forget them with a bit of conscience, they know that they will be rewarded for eating my family's food!"

Chai Dong frowned. "Then, shall we keep them for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"They've already brought their own vegetables, isn't it unreasonable for us not to keep them?" Chun Zhi said, the young couple turned their heads to look at Wang Shi in unison.

Wang immediately stomped her feet angrily.

"Okay, let me just say why they are so diligent today, and they want to come to my house for food? They all really think I'm a good blackmailer, don't they?" After shouting loudly, she changed the subject again, "Forget it, since they are still smart enough to bring the fish over, let them have a meal. But just this meal, there won't be much in the future!"

"This meal is enough!" Chunzhi nodded quickly.

With Wang's concession, she immediately felt better, and quickly picked up the fish: "Mother, I'm going to wash and dissect the fish!"

"Hurry up and go!" Wang waved her hands speechlessly.

With so many fish, Mrs. Wang picked up a big one, wrapped it in flour and steamed it, and made a soup with two small ones.As for the rest, she picked up five or six smaller ones and boiled them in plain water, then added some vegetable leaves, and boiled the big ones in a pot.When everything was cooked, she put the fish in a pot and put it on the table where the New Year's Eve dinner was placed: "This is your New Year's Eve dinner, eat it!"

When the cats smelled the scent, they immediately meowed, and they all rushed over, formed a circle around the basin, and ate big mouthfuls.

Looking at this scene, Chun Zhi quickly turned to Mrs. Wang: "Mother, thank you."

"Don't think that just saying a few nice words will make me agree to keep all these stray cats! Our family can't afford it!" Mrs. Wang immediately rolled her eyes again.

Harue was so helpless. "I don't think so."

"You don't have it now, but you will definitely have it in the future!" Wang said viciously.
