There are beautiful girls in the hunter's house

Chapter 85 New Year's Eve (Part [-])
Having been alone for many years, even if it was the New Year's Eve, it was no different from usual. At this moment, looking at Lin Xiu's silhouette in the sun, Xiong Qingshan suddenly felt anticipation in his heart.

He began to look forward to this new year, and to every festival he would spend with Lin Xiu for the rest of his life.

Lin Xiu tidied up the quilt, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Xiong Qingshan staring at her. She said angrily, "What are you looking at me for?"

The corners of Xiong Qingshan's lips curled slightly, "Of course it depends on your good looks."

Lin Xiu's face turned red, she glared at Xiong Qingshan, her eyes were full of charm, "Nonsense!"

Xiong Qingshan smiled, and didn't take her words seriously, because it wasn't the first time she said this.

After the two exchanged a few words, Lin Xiu washed her hands and went into the kitchen to start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The locals don’t pay much attention to the Chinese New Year, and there is no custom of preparing a table of sumptuous meals for the New Year’s Eve dinner. They usually eat a little better at noon, and eat dumplings at night, and it’s over.Therefore, when Lin Xiu entered the kitchen, she began to chop the dumpling stuffing.

The meat was bought two days ago, fearing that she would be tired from chopping, Xiong Qingshan took over the job of chopping the minced meat. Lin Xiu only needed to chop the cabbage leaves and the vermicelli that she bought, while she was chopping the vegetables, Beside him was Xiong Qingshan holding a kitchen knife, chopping the meat bang bang bang, it was very harmonious for a moment.

After Xiong Qingshan chopped the meat, Lin Xiu gathered the stuffing together, added seasonings and let Xiong Qingshan mix well, then it was ready, and she turned to prepare lunch.

Lunch should be as big as possible, so on the last day when she left the stall, Lin Xiu bought a chicken from the market. She asked Xiong Qingshan to kill the chicken and bleed and pluck the hair, while she prepared the side dishes in the kitchen .

……

With Xiong Qingshan helping, Lin Xiu prepared three dishes.

A stewed chicken with potatoes, a dish of soy cabbage, and a dish of spicy tofu are all large portions, even if Xiong Qingshan has a big appetite, it is enough to eat.

The three dishes were delicious, and with the corn and rice, Xiong Qingshan was full again. He helped Lin Xiu clean up the dishes, and Lin Xiu asked him to boil some hot water for washing in a while.

It's cold in winter, and Lin Xiu washes her hair during the day, so it can dry faster. Today is thirty, so it's time to boil some hot water to wash and welcome the new year brand new.

Xiong Qingshan was on fire, and Lin Xiu was kneading noodles aside, ready to wash in a while, and then began to make dumplings.

When making dumplings, Xiong Qingshan also helps.

Lin Xiu glanced at him, "Are you good at rolling leather or making dumplings?"

Xiong Qingshan: "..."

"I don't even know it, but I can learn."

Lin Xiu didn't say anything, but began to teach seriously.

She also knew that with Xiong Qingshan's appetite, there must be no shortage of dumplings, so she prepared a lot of stuffing and noodles.However, with such dumplings, if she is the only one who rolls out the dumplings or makes the dumplings, she will be exhausted to death.

It was precisely because of this that she taught Xiong Qingshan earnestly, hoping that he would learn and help her share the burden.

It's really not difficult, Xiong Qingshan watched for a while, and then he learned how to roll the dumpling skin, he said: "I'll do it." He took the rolling pin and started rolling the dumpling skin.

Lin Xiu looked at it for a while, and saw that the leather he rolled out looked good, so she felt relieved and picked up the rolled leather to wrap it up.

……

After Xiong Qingshan got started, his speed became faster and faster. In the end, he even threw Lin Xiu off.

Seeing that there are still a lot of skins, he said, "I'll wrap it for you."

Lin Xiu naturally agreed, she asked Xiong Qingshan to watch her movements, and when she finished wrapping one, she looked at him and asked, "Can I watch it?"

Xiong Qingshan simply nodded, "It's not that simple."

It is easier than rolling leather. After all, rolling leather is not just rolling. You have to cut out a piece of dough first, and cut it into pieces before rolling.Making dumplings is much easier, just pick up the dumpling wrappers and put stuffing on them.

Xiong Qingshan picked up a leather bag, picked up a lot of stuffing with his chopsticks, put down the chopsticks and started pinching, but he put too much stuffing, in the end, he couldn't wrap it.

Lin Xiu has been paying attention to him, and when she saw this, she gave him a trick: "Try pressing down the stuffing, but if it doesn't work, you can only pick some out."

Xiong Qingshan followed what she said, and finally made the dumpling.

After wrapping the first one, Xiong Qingshan's speed for the second one was significantly faster. With his help, the accumulated leather would soon be finished. Lin Xiu reminded him to cut another piece of dough and roll out the leather.

The two of them made dumplings for a long time, and they finally made enough dumplings for tonight and tomorrow morning. At this time, more than half of the afternoon had already passed.

"Sir, do you still want to offer incense sticks to your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" In the afternoon of New Year's Eve, there is a local custom for descendants to go to the graves of their ancestors. Lin Xiu was busy making dumplings before, but Lin Xiu forgot. Now that she remembered, she He hurriedly asked.

Xiong Qingshan responded.

He didn't forget it, but he felt that he had to help Lin Xiu make the dumplings first, and going to the grave was very simple.

"Then I'll help you pack your things first, and you go wash your hands first." Lin Xiu said, and went to pack Xiong Qingshan's things.

To go to the grave of the elders, joss sticks are naturally necessary. Other than that, there are some folded paper ingots, firecrackers, etc. Fortunately, the paper ingots were folded early. I caught some and wrapped them all together in a bag.

She handed the burden to Xiong Qingshan, sent him outside the door, and said: "Be careful, go early and return early."

Xiong Qingshan once told her that the Xiong family's ancestral grave is on the mountain, and the people who went to visit the grave must have returned by now, so she was a little worried about Xiong Qingshan's safety.

Xiong Qingshan waved his hand at her, and went up the mountain with the burden.

……

The Xiong family settled here in Xujiaao decades ago. At that time, the Xiong family was the great-grandfather of Xiong Qingshan. Up to now, there are only three generations in the ancestral grave. Lighting firecrackers, I took a few paper ingots from the bag and lit them, then went to the graves of my grandparents, and finally, it was the father and mother.

He pulled the weeds in front of the grave, lit the paper ingots, and watched the dancing flames silently. After a long while, he whispered: "Father and mother, don't worry, my son is doing well now, and he is still asking for money." You have found a good daughter-in-law, so you can go at ease."

The paper ingots were devoured by the fire, leaving ashes on the ground, and the flames became weaker and weaker. Xiong Qingshan checked again and saw that the fires in front of several graves were all extinguished, so he put away his things and turned to go down the mountain.

On the winding path, his back is chic with a bag in his hand, his back is facing the setting sun, his face is full of anticipation.

It was getting dark, and he didn't know if he stayed and started to burn the fire. He had to hurry up so that he could get home before Lin Xiu boiled the water, so that he could set off the firecrackers before the dumplings were put into the pot.
