Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 136 Busy Years (Part [-])

"Twelfth lunar month 24, dust and sweep the house", Meng Zhen hugged the baby, watching his father and Zheng Jian wearing old clothes, holding a bamboo pole tied with a feather duster to sweep the cobwebs and dust in the corner of the house.

"Hey, I usually feel pretty clean. Why is this sweeping so dirty?" Zheng Jian took a hat and cleaned the living room first. The furniture in the living room was temporarily moved to other rooms, or moved to the corridor.The rest of the large pieces of furniture were also moved, and the corners and corners that could not be cleaned normally were swept. After cleaning the living room, all the furniture was moved back, and then cleaned in another room.

"Hehe, I've lived in this house for almost a year, and those corners can't be reached when they are usually cleaned. If they are collected together for cleaning, there must be a lot of dust."

Meng Zhen looked at his gray face, and said with a busy smile.

"Zhen Nier, is Zhen Nier here?"

Second Aunt Meng's voice came from outside the gate, and just as she finished speaking, she rushed in hurriedly wearing a thick cotton coat.

"You're at home, Second Aunt, what's the matter?" Meng Zhen tucked up the little padded coat he was thinking about, and then hugged her to welcome her out.

"Hehe, look at Xiao Nizi, she's only a few months old, she's so energetic!" Second Aunt Meng first reached out and gently pinched the baby's small face, watching her waiting for her big round eyes, neither afraid of life nor crying , smiled and boasted to Meng Zhen: "I used to worry that you were inexperienced, but as a result, this child has been raised for nothing, and he is blessed at first glance!"

"Hehe, how can it be, Second Aunt, I heard that your eldest daughter is back?"

Since entering the Layue Gate, many young people who went out to work and study in the village have returned, many of whom she doesn't know, but the village is obviously much more lively.

"Yeah, I'm helping with cleaning at home. Zhen Nier, do you still have stick noodles at home? My big Nier likes to eat candied dates and steamed buns. I'm going to steam some when I steam bean buns tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, how much do you want? I'll get it for you!" Meng Zhen kept a lot of corn for himself, and part of it was ground into cornmeal, which was often used to cook polenta in the morning.

"It doesn't need to be too much. When I steam the bean buns, I just pinch a mat for her." Second Aunt Meng was very happy when she saw the child she hadn't seen for a year. Today, Da Nier accidentally mentioned: I want to eat nests Wotou, she didn't do the cleaning anymore, so she came to Meng Zhen's house to ask for stick noodles.

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away!" Meng Zhen handed the child to Han Chunyan, went to the kitchen to get a grocery bag from the supermarket, took out about two catties of cornmeal from the porcelain urn where the food was placed, and took it out of the cabinet Pack a handful of jujubes from my yard and give them to Aunt Meng together.

"Just some stick noodles, let's forget about dates, I have them at home!"

Seeing that Meng Zhen had brought out two bags, Second Aunt Meng hurriedly declined.

"Hehe, take it and eat it. I made it from my own yard. Steamed jujube rolls are also fine. When making bean buns, you can put stuffing in it for seasoning."

Meng Zhen stuffed the handle of the bag into Aunt Meng's hand. After she came to Zhoujiazhuang, the second aunt's family took good care of her. If there were gossips about her in the village, the second aunt would always defend her.Compared with what others give to me, this thing is really nothing.

"Okay, after I finish steaming, I'll bring you some. By the way, how is your family's New Year's goods prepared? These two days, Liujiaji has a big market, and the meat and fish are very fresh."

"Well, I've already bought almost all of them. Hehe, we don't eat much. We just get a little of everything. It looks like it means Chinese New Year!"

There is really no shortage of things in Meng Zhen's house, vegetables and fruits are all grown by himself, and he can take whatever he wants to eat; when he went to the market two days ago, his father bought a slaughtered sheep, two pheasants, two A pork knuckle, and I bought a few catties of beef and pork stuffing; fish, there are a lot of fish in the river and sea of ​​the manor, absolutely fresh.With these things, Chinese New Year is absolutely no problem.

"Well, your nannies have gone home for the New Year. If you need help when frying things, don't be shy!"

The second aunt took her things, greeted Han Chunyan who was sitting on the porch coaxing the child, and hurried home.

"Hey, good!"

Meng Zhen also agreed casually. Although the nanny and confinement wife have gone home for the New Year, there is not much work at home. After cleaning today, I will send benefits to the employees on 26 and then reconcile the accounts. Bean buns, fried New Year's goods on 28, seem to be quite busy, but there are not many things to do. With her dad and Zheng Jian, there should be no problem.

"Here, from my husband's unit!"

After paying salaries and bonuses to the employees in the studio, Meng Zhen and Chen Xue organized everyone to clean up, and then distributed a box of packaged fruits to everyone. In the instructions of "safe journey" and "happy new year", Say goodbye to everyone.

There were only the two of them left in the huge warehouse. They divided the work and checked the wiring and switches of each room. After everything was fine, they drove to Meng Zhen's house.

When getting off the car, Chen Xue took out a big gift bag and a barrel of peanut oil from her compartment and handed them to Meng Zhen. Except for her, their family was either from a public institution or from the army. It's so much that if you eat it by yourself, you won't be able to finish it.

"Hehe, that's great, the oil for frying New Year's goods has arrived." Meng Zhen opened the door, and the two of them sat in the living room and began to reconcile accounts.After the online store has professional customer service, sales have been high. Excluding rent, water and electricity, taxes, and employee wages and benefits, Meng Zhen has done the math, and the profits in the past few months have been quite a lot.Although money is not so important to her now, who would think that there is too much money, so when she saw the zero after another on the account, she still laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes.

"Tch, look at your virtue!" Chen Xue was also very happy. Ever since she found out the cause of the disease, she had been very depressed, but after accepting Zhenzhen Studio, she felt that the feeling of starting a business was very good, and she had already started Plan your own career direction.

"Hehe, is it good to spend the New Year with money? Are you unhappy?!" Meng Zhen counted her income, and she gave Xiaoxue 20%. According to the calculation, the year-end dividends given to Xiaoxue were also quite a lot.After the two reconciled accounts, Meng Zhen went to pour her a glass of juice, and then carefully looked at her flat belly: "Xiaoxue, you've been busy recently, are you okay?"

Calculated in terms of days, it has been more than two months since she first gave Xiaoxue and juice. If there is any effect, there should be a reaction, but when she had dinner with the staff at noon, she did not have any taboos or abnormalities.Is it not effective?
"It's okay, we have a good foundation, even when Wangwang exploded a few days ago, we can hold on!" Chen Xue took a sip of the warm juice, and saw some nuts in the rose-shaped fruit plate on the tea table, I twisted it up and ate a few, "Well, yes, really, what is this, it looks a bit like almonds to me!"

Meng Zhen was feeling depressed. Hearing her words, he casually said, "Oh, that's the core of that fruit tree. I broke it open and looked, and it looked like almonds. Linglong likes to eat it very much. I also like it." I tried to taste it, it tasted very good, so I collected all the cores, if you like, you can eat more, if it’s not enough, I still have it in the cabinet!”

"Mmm, mmm!" Chen Xue ate her head in suspense, and said "Mmmmm" twice without raising her head when she heard her words.

"Boom" and "Boom" there were more and more firecrackers on the street, Meng Zhen was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.Cutting lotus root slices, shredded radish and green radish, making batter, and mixing meat stuffing, it was a lot of work.

Han Chunyan watched while thinking about it, teasing the child from time to time, and then casually chatting with Meng Zhen.

Meng Qingliang and Zheng Jian were not idle either. Father Meng was chopping chicken and rabbit meat outside with a kitchen knife. The meat had been stored in the refrigerator for a few days. block.

Zheng Jian is guarding a stainless steel basin and picking up hairtail with scissors.According to the custom of Quancheng, during the Chinese New Year, stewed pork ribs, stewed chicken, fried couples, radish balls and hairtail are also served.

Hairtails are a New Year's gift in the village. When the big trumpet notified every family to come and pick up the New Year's items, Meng Zhen thought he didn't have any of his own.In the end, I was dragged all the way by my second aunt, and found that not only myself, but also Zheng Jian, even Xiao Xiangxiang.

This year, Zhoujiazhuang developed a resort. Although it was not very popular, it also made a lot of money for the village.The village committee had more money, and distributed more things to the villagers than in previous years. Each person had ten catties of hairtail, ten catties of wild eggs, and some fresh vegetables.

Cut open the stomach with scissors, take out the internal organs, and then cut them into sections.

"Xiao Jian, don't forget to wash all the black things inside, otherwise it will be bitter!"

Meng Zhen cut the lotus root, carefully filled the stuffing one by one, then squeezed the shredded green radish into clean water, put it in a clean basin, added flour instead of water, added salt and monosodium glutamate, and then Put the water with the radish to reconcile the noodles of the meatballs.

Here Zheng Jian has already cut the fish into long pieces, washed them with warm water, and brought them to the kitchen.Meng Zhen also made the batter. She took the octopus, put it in a small basin, and marinated it with salt and five-spice noodles.

Dad Meng also chopped the meat. After cleaning it, he put all the meat pieces in a big pot, put the aniseed, fragrant leaves and seasonings, poured water, put the big pot on the stove, and started to stew the meat .

Han Chunyan hugged Meng Xiang in one hand, and teased her with a toy in the other, while Xiang Xiang's eyes kept chasing after her busy mother, and her small mouth made a cry of "ahhh", as if to attract Meng Zhen's attention.

"Hehe, it's true. Thinking about it, she's getting cuter and cute, and she's still so good. I don't think I've seen her cry much." Han Chunyan looked at the baby's cute face, and remembered that she would be born in two or three months. son, his heart is full of love.When Meng Zhen adopted the baby at the beginning, they all opposed it. After all, Zhen Zhen belonged to a girl's family. If they adopted a child, would they marry or not in the future?

But her identity is more sensitive, and she is in this situation, so she can't say much.Now it seems that this child is really well raised.Looking at the quiet Meng Xiang, she also began to look forward to her unborn child.

"Hehe, isn't it?" Meng Zhen finished packing his things, and smiled at Xiangxiang: "Okay, everything is ready, there is a lot of oily smoke here, auntie, take Xiangxiang and go to the living room to watch TV!"

"Hey, okay!"

After they left, there was the sound of "stabbing" frying in the kitchen...

When I checked just now, I found out that I forgot to write the title in Chapter 81. It should be a busy year ([-]).
