The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 157 New Year's Eve (5)
"Father, there is no water, let's fetch water first!" Luo Xiaojiang was about to help add water to the pot, when he lifted the lid of the bucket, he found that there was no water.

Luo Xingzu immediately threw the firewood in his hand again, got up and picked up a bucket to fetch water.

"Father, I'll go with you."

In Sankeng Village, all the people in the village drink water from a well at the foot of the mountain to the south of Sankeng Village. The water in that well is clear and sweet, much better than Nongfu Spring and Yibao.

Qingguo even thought, if this is at the feet of the emperor, she must get a water truck to push the well water and sell it for money!Didn't the literati and poets of all ages pay attention to meeting friends with tea?How can this good tea lack good water?It's a pity that Sankengzi Village is far away from Huangchenggen Tianzi's foot, breaking Qingguo's fantasy of having no native money!
"Father, that seems to be our uncle." Qing Guo said, pointing to Luo Xingcai who was approaching with water.

Luo Xingzu nodded, "Well, it's your uncle."

Luo Xingcai also saw Luo Xingzu, and when he approached, he frowned and smiled at Luo Xingzu: "Second brother, I can't tell, I thought you were honest, but I didn't expect you to be the most cunning one. As the old saying goes, you will It really makes sense for a biting dog not to bark!"

After the words fell, Luo Xingzu didn't wait for Luo Xingzu to open his mouth, he carried the water and walked away.

For Luo Xingcai's provocations, Luo Xingzu was already used to numbness. If one day Luo Xingcai talked nicely to him, he would think it was weird.Shaking his head, he said to the furious Qingguo, "Let's go, your uncle is such a person."

But Qingguo said bitterly: "Who is this? It's unlucky to give someone a bite out of nowhere early in the morning."

The father and daughter picked up water and went home. Qingguo told the story of meeting Luo Xingcai, and finally said hesitantly, "Why do I think he meant something?"

"I also think so. The last thing our uncle can afford is loss. But the question is, has our family had anything to do with him recently?" Qingping said.

"Never mind," Luo Xiaojiang waved his hand and said, "Just treat it as if you stepped on dog shit when you went out!"

Qingguo let out a "puchi" laugh, and said in agreement: "Yes, just treat it as if you stepped on dog shit when you went out."

The three siblings laughed and put the matter aside.

The water in the pot was boiled, and Luo Xiaojiang followed Luo Xingzu to kill the chicken. Because of the dumplings to be eaten in the morning of the first day of the new year, Qingping and Qingguo prepared the stuffing for the dumplings. , to see how to burn, how to match the plate.

"Guo'er, how did you say you want to cook these sweet potato vermicelli?"

Qing Ping and Qing Ping looked up and said: "Chop up the meat and fry it with vermicelli."

This is a good dish suitable for all ages, and it has a nice name "Ants Climbing the Tree". It was a must-order dish for Qingguo in the past.

"Then I'll make the braised pork first, and when your father and the young general kill the chicken, we will stew the chicken, fry a few side dishes, and finally cook the fish, that's it!" Lin said.

When the braised pork was stuffy in the pot, Mrs. Lin began to mince the minced meat. Qingping and Qingguo were about to take the prepared green onions to the well to wash, when suddenly they saw Luo Fugui poking around outside the yard.

"Fugui, what are you doing?"

When Luo Fugui heard Qingguo's voice, he shrank his head and turned around and wanted to run. When he saw that Qingguo didn't catch up, he stopped, smiled at Qingguo and said, "Guoer, your family killed a chicken today, didn't you?"

Qing Guo looked at Luo Fugui, nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Luo Fugui scratched his head and said with a smile: "My aunt said that your house has both fish and chicken, so I can't finish it. Let me get half a chicken."

"Tch..." Qingguo laughed angrily, sometimes she really wondered if this Luo Xiangyuan was born by the Chen family, it was completely disabled!Anyone with a little brain can do such a thing!

"You are so easy to say, give you half a chicken? When you eat chickens during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, why don't you divide our family's half!" Qing Guo said angrily: "Go, go, go, tell my aunt Go, if you want to eat chicken, buy it yourself."

"Guo'er, old lady can't eat, turn around, grandma will easily spare you!"

"Damn!" Qing Guo spat and said, "I'm being polite, call her milk, I'm not polite, who is she? Don't forget, our family is out of the clan, it has nothing to do with Lao Luo's family."

Luo Fugui was dumbfounded. The reason why he was willing to come was because Luo Xiangyuan promised him that he would give him half a chicken leg.It's all right now, not to mention the chicken legs are soaked in soup, and they were scolded by Qingguo!
"Fugui," Mrs. Lin came out of the house upon hearing the commotion, "I have vegetarian crabs, do you want to eat them?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Fugui nodded quickly.

Lin smiled, turned around and went into the room to get a big bowl of vegetarian crabs, "Go, let's eat."

Luo Fugui left happily holding the bowl.

Qingguo curled her lips, turned around and called Qingping to wash the onions.

After the end of time, the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another.As soon as the firecrackers sounded, it meant that this family was going to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

"Mother, this is the sound of firecrackers from my grandfather's house." Xiaojiang Luo ran in from the house and said.

Lin's dishes are almost ready, except for the last fish dish.

There is also particular attention to cooking fish. Some people cut the whole fish, while others fry it in sections. Because they want to eat the whole first month, the housewives are the most concerned.

Lin divided the grass carp into three parts, namely the fish head, fish body and fish tail.She fried the fish head and tail until cooked, and put them aside. The fish body was added with soup and ingredients, and the juice was collected on high heat. into a complete fish.

In this way, even after the first lunar month, the fish still looks like a whole fish, just like what the old man said, it will be more than enough every year!
"This fish is ready, our family can eat." Lin said to Luo Xiaojiang: "Go, take out the prepared firecrackers with your father."

"Hey!"

Luo Xiaojiang ran into the house like a gust of wind, scared Qingguo called Luo Xingzu again and again, for fear that Luo Xiaojiang would accidentally light the firecrackers and blow himself up.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the New Year's Eve dinner began.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Luo Xingzu couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Mother Guoer, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard." Mrs. Lin shook her head, looked at the children on the table, smiled and said, "As long as our family is happy, no matter how hard or tired I am, I am willing!"

Qing Guo couldn't help thinking of the cups and toasts in the company's New Year's Eve dinner in her previous life, and thought to herself: It's a pity that there is no fruit juice or fruit wine, otherwise it would be nice for the family to have a lively drink.

There was no pre-dinner speech, and no outlook for the future, but some were full of warmth and sweetness.
