Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 132 Winter Solstice
"Meng Xiang?! Dreams come true! Well, yes, the implication is quite good. But, can dreams really come true?" Chen Xue muttered to herself, and her mind began to tangle again.

"Hehe, of course! Xiaoxue, don't be discouraged, I believe that there are always miracles in the world. You have to think about Yanan, they have gone through so much, and now they have a miracle too?" Although Meng Zhen was not sure about Juice Whether it is effective or not, but she doesn't want her friend to always carry such a heavy psychological burden.

"Miracle? How can there be so many miracles? Aren't the red fruits you gave Yanan mutated now? Oh, let's see again. I'm busy with work now, and I'm better. When the Chinese New Year comes, you Look, Zhao Kai and his family's relatives will definitely talk about me again!"

Chen Xue smiled self-deprecatingly, her mother's background was poor, and Zhao Kai's seven aunts and eight aunts would often make jokes, and she was used to it.Anyway, there are only one or two days of Chinese New Year every year.This year, she provided a new topic, and the few days during the Chinese New Year will definitely be used as their talking point again.

"Are you going back to your mother's house during the Chinese New Year this year? Does Auntie know about you?" Chen Xue has always been strong, and has rarely relied on her family since she went to college. She also gritted her teeth to raise money to buy it by herself, and she insisted on not asking her family for a penny.Now that she suffers from such a disease again, she should discuss it with her natal family, right? !

"Well, go home, my hometown is far away, and I can go home to have a look at the Spring Festival in a year. Besides, my mother is also worried about me!" Although she didn't complain to her family, when she was missing last time, Zhao Kai found someone Her phone call also reached home, and her parents knew the truth of the matter.Now, her mother doesn't care about her younger brother, and concentrates on helping her find folk remedies and good doctors.

Meng Zhen nodded. She has taken root in Zhoujiazhuang now, and her father has also picked her up. She will definitely stay here during the Chinese New Year.

The next day, Meng Zhen took the child to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities. Meng Xiang's household registration fell under Meng Zhen's name and became Meng Zhen's legal adopted daughter.After completing the formalities, she came to a photo studio run by a netizen.Sister Yu said last time that she would take a photo album for her, hehe, now that she thinks about the full moon, she plans to take a group of parent-child photo albums together, which can be regarded as a belated birthday congratulations to the baby.

The winter in Quancheng is very cold. When Meng Zhen went out, he wrapped the baby tightly. When he arrived at the photo studio, he found that the temperature inside was not bad. After saying hello to Sister Yu, he began to choose the style and clothing for shooting.

Meng Xiang, a child, is very cooperative, showing a big smile in front of the camera, and doing the actions demonstrated by the photographer with the mother who just took office.It is winter now, and there are not many photo shoots and wedding photos, so she basically didn't wait, and the photo shoot was finished after an hour.

When Sister Yu heard from the receptionist that Meng Zhen was here, she rushed over to say hello. This Xiao Meng was very mean to her, so all the fruits and flowers for their studio were taken from Meng Zhen's online shop.Meng Zhen also knows how to be a human being, and after a long time, he will give her a unique flower basket.Perhaps, things are not worth anything, but she can feel his heart.

When I saw her today, I found that she was holding a little baby girl, and the big and small ones were having fun taking pictures.She couldn't hide her surprise in her heart, Meng Zhen seemed to be unmarried, where did the child come from?
"Hehe, Xiao Meng, today you finally went to the door of the elder sister, I thought you forgot me?" Seeing Meng Zhen taking off her makeup, she sat on the side with a smile and complained.

"No way, am I worried that you are busy here? Sister Yu, I just brought a basket of citrus and put it at your front desk. Don't forget it later!"

People said that she only charged the cost price for the photo shoot, but she was ashamed, she didn't have anything else, and when she came, she brought a basket of citrus.

"Tch, what else do you bring? Is this your baby?" She looked at the child being held by the confinement wife, and asked casually.

"Well, it's Meng Xiang, my daughter!" The person asked casually, and Meng Zhen was not too formal, so he nodded and told his friend openly.

After taking the photos, Meng Zhen and the others drove home.Since December, there has been less work in the fields, and the villagers in the village have also begun to prepare for winter.Most of the villagers in Zhoujiazhuang still burn the soil for warmth. They usually buy a carbon stove and connect a few radiators. When the weather gets cold, they start to prepare anthracite coal.When her car was at the intersection, she saw a car delivering coal from a coal selling station. She stopped for a while, waited for the truck to drive away, and drove into the village.

Because the weather is colder, there are many fewer people on the street. The sisters-in-law and aunts of Dahuaishu have moved to the neighborhood committee, where the duty room has a stove, and there is enough tea, so they can chat while drinking.

"Hey, hey, do you see, it's Zhen Nier?"

"Well, it seems that she took the child out, hehe, look, she is rich, and she even hires a babysitter when she picks up a child. Tsk tsk, rich people are different?"

"That's right, you said that she is a good big girl, and she doesn't want to get married early, so why does she still adopt a child?"

"Hey, who knows? But, let's say, Meng Zhen's conditions are good enough. You see, if you want money and money, you want a house and a house, and you look good, and you have a good education. If anyone marries her, It will be a blessing in the days to come!"

"That's not right. Hey, his third sister-in-law, didn't your husband's nephew also graduated from college? He seems to be a teacher at the Liu family's concentrated school. Why don't you introduce him to him. It's really done, Zhen Nier, why don't you thank the matchmaker?" ?”

"Well, don't say it, my nephew is really good!"

The charcoal stove in the duty room was burning hot, and several women were kneading melon seeds, drinking hot tea and laughing.

When Meng Zhen first took over the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he also installed soil heating, and several rooms were connected to radiators.As soon as winter came, Zheng Jian drove the truck in the vegetable garden to buy two tons of large coal. After the temperature dropped, he tried the furnace once, and the effect was not bad, which was better than turning on the air conditioner.Now, the heater in the room is burning hot, and Meng Qingliang is watching TV with Han Chunyan.Their child is seven months old, and Han Chunyan has gained a whole circle of weight because of the good maintenance and rich nutrition.

"The days are so fast, and the winter solstice is coming in a blink of an eye. As the old saying goes, the winter solstice is ten days in the Gregorian calendar, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed!" Han Chunyan sighed softly. Life was hard before, but it will be hard when the new year comes , Those who want debts and urge money, it is really the end of the year.Looking at today's life, and thinking about the past, it is really a sky and an earth, she is so content.

"Well, it's pretty fast. I feel like we just moved here. It's almost half a year without paying much attention. By the way, shall we go back and see the relatives of your natal family this year?"

When I was in my hometown, I had to visit relatives every New Year's Eve. Although we didn't get along very close, if we didn't move around during the New Year's Eve, we would really break the relationship.

"No, they know about our situation. Besides, no one said to come and see us when our life was tight before. Now that we are living a better life, hey, they come to Baba's to make friends." The first two years of Han Chunyan's marriage to Meng Qingliang were also very tight. Both of their partners died of illness.My husband spent all the money in the family and owed a whole lot of debt, and even sold the house; when Meng Zhen's mother was sick, it seemed that he also spent a lot of money. Although something happened and he got some compensation later, but Lao Meng saved the money in Zhenzhen's name.No matter how difficult the family is, they are not allowed to use it.

"Well, yes. Hehe, we are quiet here, and we don't have any relatives here, so we don't need to prepare too many New Year's goods. Oh, by the way, Xiao Min may be coming, she seemed to be talking about it when she called me last time Said that it was too far to go back to her mother's house in the second day of junior high school, so come directly to our place!"

"Xiao Min..." Han Chunyan sighed silently in her heart. She really doesn't like this child, and his work is too utilitarian. If she is in the Chinese New Year, maybe she will really help? !

"Sister, what kind of stuffed dumplings should we make?" Zheng Jian went to the kitchen to fill a dustpan of coal. Today is the winter solstice, and Aunt Xie asked for leave to stay at home with the children, so I have to solve lunch by myself.

"What kind of stuffing do you want to eat?" Meng Zhen was sitting on the sofa coaxing to think about it. Hearing his brother's question, he remembered that today is the winter solstice. Busy, I have to eat dumplings during the winter solstice.

"Anything is fine, I don't choose, hehe, think about it, uncle is here, do you miss him yet!" Zheng Jian washed his hands, and happily ran to tease the child.Although this child was not born by his sister, he also likes it very much. He and his sister are not related by blood, so they get along very well.Since it is my sister's child, it is his niece, so when Meng thought about the full moon, he gave a set of silver bracelets and silver bells.

Meng Xiang wore a silver bracelet on her chubby little hand, and clapped her hands happily when she saw Zheng Jian.This girl has a very good temper, basically she is cheerful when anyone teases her, and she seldom cries.

"Okay, let's have mackerel dumplings for lunch." After eating it twice in Daocheng, she liked it very much, so she thought about making it herself.Just in time, Liu Jiajia's mother brought them a lot of Spanish mackerel and hairtail two days ago, so they can try to make them by themselves.

"Okay, I'll go pick leeks!" Zheng Jian also ate them in restaurants, and they tasted good, but he believed in the old lady's craftsmanship, so he quickly agreed to wash the vegetables.

Han Chunyan and his wife stayed in the living room to watch the children. Meng Zhen and Aunt Chen, one chopped fish and the other kneaded noodles.Meng Zhen took the Spanish mackerel out of the refrigerator, and while the fish was still frozen, he sliced ​​the fish, peeled the skin and removed the spines, and gently cut the fish into cubes.Then cut a small piece of pork belly and mixed it with the fish.Then, add minced green onion, ginger juice and seasonings. At this time, Zheng Jian also washed the leeks. She took them to control the water, cut them into cubes, poured them into the fish and stirred slowly.

Aunt Chen's face also reconciled, the two of them rolled the skin and made a bag, and Zheng Jian helped.It took only an hour or so, and the wrapped dumplings were neatly stacked on the cover pad, each one like a small ingot.

"Okay, the water is boiling, let's serve the dumplings!"
