Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 62

Dizzy, can't it be a water duck? It has grown two legs. It's not normal to want to go out and wander around. Is there any need to be so anxious?

What's more, it was only early in the morning, and a large living person disappeared for 24 hours before the police could file a case.Zhang Qian let go of Liu Junhao's distraction after talking about it, but then asked him to promise to get Qiuqiu back.

"Don't worry, if Qiuqiu really can't find it, I'll let you catch one of my water ducks later." Liu Junhao said, patting his chest.

"I don't want it, you are a stupid water duck, my Qiuqiu is so smart" Zhang Qian said nothing.

clever?It seems that this word cannot be used on that teal duck.It didn't have three legs or two heads, and it was born and hatched by the same mother as the teal ducks in my yard. Could it be that it became smarter when it was born an hour or so later than other teal ducks? ?

Of course, these words were just in his heart, he knew that Zhang Qian still valued that little guy.

The result of finding the water ducks proved that Zhang Qian's worries were unfounded. Before the fog cleared at noon, Qiuqiu returned to the yard squawking, and nothing happened.

Probably the road to Daqingshan has finally been repaired. People feel that there is hope in the future, and their faces are filled with festive colors, so this year's twelfth lunar month is particularly special.

It's only been a few days since the twelfth lunar month, and the number of people on the street has obviously increased. Although the weather is very cold, it can't hide the enthusiasm of people to buy.

Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao also bought their own New Year's goods early, but there were too many people going to the market on the street. Liu Junhao was afraid that Professor Zhao would be bumped, because he didn't let him do it, but went to the street to do two. New Year's goods.

New Year's food is nothing more than big fish and big meat, fish is easy to handle, just fish a few from the ditch in your yard and you can live together, and you can eat and catch it now, the taste is definitely fresher than the ones sold in the town.

When Liu Junhao went to the pork stall, he didn't want to pick and choose and cause trouble, so he directly asked someone to chop off a thirty or forty catty hip tip.Now that I have both lean and fat meat, I can do whatever I want when I go back.Then he went elsewhere to buy about ten catties of beef and mutton and it was over. The weather is cold this year, so these meats should be able to be stored for a longer time.

He didn't want to run to the street every day, so he planned to get all the New Year's goods in one go.Whatever pots and pans, goalkeeper pairs, yellow paper firecrackers, etc., as long as they were used for the New Year, they were all swept away all the way, and in the end they couldn't fit on my bicycle at all.

It's easy to handle if it can't fit, Liu Junhao directly ordered a Numb New Year's Cargo and sent it to Liujiagou with a bicycle. This numb business just started after the Daqingshan Highway was repaired.

The road of more than ten miles arrived in the blink of an eye. Hearing the sound, Professor Zhao and his wife went out to meet him and helped him unload all the things he bought.

On the afternoon of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Junhao went to visit Old Man Liu’s grave early. This year he specially bought two three-foot-long earthen firecrackers, one of which was going to be set off now. The crackling firecrackers continued for more than ten minutes. Then he burned a large bundle of yellow paper on the grave, knelt firmly and kowtowed a few times before finishing the work.

From the 24th, the countdown to the new year has completely entered, and every household has become more and more busy: steamed bean buns, sugar buns, vegetable buns; fried dough sticks, fried chicken, duck and fish, dumplings, etc. are all prepared for the New Year.

In the past, the rules of the Chinese New Year in rural areas were very strict. There were many taboos during the first few days from the first day to the fifth day of the new year. According to the old rules, we had to eat dumplings for five days in a row, which made people tired of eating.Of course, there are fewer things to pay attention to now, only the meaning of eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year.

This period of time is the happiest time for the children. Firstly, the winter vacation is finally over, and no one cares about how they want to play. Second, every family cooks delicious food, and they are allowed to eat with their stomachs open.

When the winter vacation started, Zhang Qian packed up her things early and went back to the city for the New Year. In order to take better care of Qiuqiu, she deliberately put Qiuqiu in a cage and took her home by car.

Her luck was not bad. On the day she left, Dr. Wang happened to be driving a private car to see her vegetable field, so Zhang Qian took a ride.

On the afternoon of the 29th, both Zhao Weidong and Zhao Weihong arrived at Liujiagou on time. They had already agreed to spend an authentic rural New Year here this year.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as them. In the past two days, many people from the city have come to Liujiagou.

Unexpectedly, on the [-]th day, it suddenly started to snow lightly, and it fell for a whole afternoon, and by the time it got dark, the ground was already covered with a layer of white snow.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year. Although the snow is a bit small, it can be regarded as a good start for the new year.

On the evening of the [-]th, Professor Zhao and his family gathered in Liu Junhao’s house to make dumplings. The dumplings made in rural areas are different from those made in cities. Boxy.The dumpling stuffing is not the kind of stuffing that is mashed into meat, but directly chopped into pieces.

There are two kinds of dumpling fillings: pork and scallions and mutton and cabbage. These are all fried, and the five-spice seasoning smells delicious. Before they start making dumplings, the two little guys are all around the pot. The dumpling stuffing inside.

Liu Junhao looked a little funny, so he made them a half bowl to satisfy their greed.

They have a lot of hands, and they pack very quickly. They wrapped a whole chopping board in two hours.They started serving dumplings after dark, while Liu Junhao ran to the yard and threw a string of firecrackers.

The sound of the cannons scared the animals in the yard to fly, scream and jump, but Xiaopi was bold and even rushed towards the firecrackers with a bark.When Liu Junhao saw it, he quickly stopped it. Although the earth firecrackers were not very powerful, it was uncomfortable to be blown up.

There are two big pots full of dumplings, because they are served separately, so you can choose what kind of stuffing you want.

Eating hot dumplings, everyone gathers around to watch the gala, which is indescribably pleasant.

Of course, the dumplings are really delicious. Not only are they big, but they are also very chewy. Once you bite into the meat, although it may be a little scalding accidentally, it is so hot that you can't stop.

This is not like the round-leaf dumplings outside, where the meat is beaten to powder. The dumplings are not like dumplings, and you don't feel anything in your mouth when you eat them.

Because they are not outsiders, the family is also very casual, and everyone eats with all their might.

After dinner, Liu Junhao saw that the room was a little cold, so he lit a large pile of rosin wood fire, and everyone leaned comfortably on their chairs to continue watching the gala.

The two little guys were dishonest, and they kept throwing small firecrackers into the fire secretly for fun, no matter how much the adults reprimanded them.In the end, Liu Junhao got up and took out all the melon seeds and candies to divert their attention. He spent a whole morning cooking these watermelon seeds on the 29th. He cooked most of the bag and prepared to eat them for the New Year.

Just after twelve o'clock, someone in the village set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.The sound of cannons did not stop throughout the night, and even the dogs in the village barked all night.

Liu Junhao was afraid of disturbing Zhao Weidong's sleep, so he didn't get up until dawn and put the remaining three-foot-long earth firecrackers at the gate, and the red robe paper was piled up thickly at the gate.
