Chapter 51

The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the ground is covered with thick snow.The sound of stepping on the soles of the feet is very pleasant.

I don't know if it's because there was no rain in the first half of the year. God wants to make up for it, so at the end of autumn and winter, there will be more rain and snow.

The green wheat is covered with a thick layer of snow, so that the pests that spend the winter will be frozen to death, and the harvest will be good the next day.

Du Yu's family started steaming meatballs, making steamed buns, and frying various things again, and started preparing new year's goods again.

Now Du Yu is not only working as a fire girl, but sometimes she can also cook.

There are only four women in the family, old, middle and young, and it is not the man's turn to cook.

Like in the past, the Qi family did not allow Du Yu to intervene, for fear that she would waste it, and now he has relaxed the requirements, but Du Yu doesn't like the way her grandma stares at her when she is cooking, so she pours the oil and then pours it. If it is less, it will be said.

Although it is said that less oil can prevent obesity, no one in the family has ever been fat.

It is estimated that there is not much oil and water in the stomach.It's so healthy.

Uncle Hu came over again, but this time he brought Hu Xin with him. They bought a mule in the early winter. Although the mule has no reproductive ability, it has great strength. Barrel fish, fresh!

That's really rare.When Mr. Du saw this, he was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Dalang, where did you get this thing? It's not cheap, right? How can you give it to us?"

Qi Shi also said: "Yes, we are all very sorry that you give these things away every year."

Uncle Hu said with a smile: "This fish was given to me by a family in the county who has some friendship with me. It didn't cost any money. I'll give it to you to try."

There are his sister and nephew here, and he wants to give them away just for them.

Both Mr. Du and Mrs. Qi said that if they are serious, this Hu family really knows how to behave, and they are all a little bit sorry.

Hu Xin picked up the bucket of fish from the back and sent it to the kitchen. Mrs. Qi praised Hu Xin again, thinking that this young man was good at reading, and he also worked hard.In the future, maybe he will be an official.

The Qi family has nothing against other people's families sending their children to study, not to mention that the conditions of the Hu family are also good, and they can afford it. Unlike them, they have a large population and live a miserable life.

When Hu Xin came here today, in addition to giving things to his uncle and aunt, he also wanted to give Dalang Erlang and Du Yu some pens and ink, etc.There are also a few books he read earlier, which are basically out of use now.

In fact, he has long wanted to send things here, but the Qi family here has that attitude towards reading, and he was also warned by his family not to do that, so he never did.

It's all right now, he knows his uncle's plan, and uncle and Da Lang are copying books to make money, so it doesn't matter if he sends a few books.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Qi insisted on keeping Uncle Hu and his son for dinner, and Uncle Hu didn't refuse. He also had something to tell his brother-in-law.

Hu Xin also said that he needed to ask Mr. Du for knowledge matters. Mr. Du was very happy when he heard it. Mr. Du's ambition was unpaid, and his wife at home despised him for studying. He was depressed for most of his life. The flowers bloomed, so I caught Hu Xin and went to his so-called study to discuss knowledge.

The Qi family would usually save old man Du face in front of outsiders, not to mention that this was requested by Hu Xin himself.

The fish that Uncle Hu and the others sent were live carps, one or two were alive and kicking, and they made people like it just by looking at them.

This noon meal must be cooking fish, and Mrs. Qi was afraid that others would ruin it, so she had to do it herself.Not to mention, Qi's is not easy to do it, but her handicraft is really good.

Du Yu wanted to eat the fish pot, so he made some fungus soup, then put the fish pieces in and boiled them slowly. The longer the cooking time, the better the taste.

There is also sauerkraut made by myself at home. If you go in, it will be sauerkraut fish.

What a great thing to eat in winter.

Mrs. Qi is also worried, what is the method of this fish, if it is kept for a long time, it will be cold?It's too bad for people to eat something cold.

"What are you thinking, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that Du Yu was absent-minded about picking a dish, Qi pushed her.

Du Yu hurriedly said: "Grandma, it's nothing. I thought we ate a pot during the reunion last year. The more we ate, the warmer it would be. It would be great if the fish could also be put into the pot."

"Let's not talk about it, you girl. I've heard people say before that if you stew the fish in a pot slowly, it tastes good." Mrs. Qi thought of a way to use it.As someone who has been cooking for decades, Mrs. Qi definitely knows more than Du Yu, so there is no need for Du Yu to say what method to use. Let her think of going there.

And the Qi family doesn't like to praise people, especially girls.I always feel that if this girl praises too much, she will become impetuous in the future, not knowing how much she has lost.

After cleaning the two fish, Mrs. Qi made a fish pot, and thought Du Yu was getting in the way in the kitchen, so she kicked her out.

Come on, there's really nothing wrong with her.Alas, she never won in front of the Qi family.

Du Yu had nothing to do, and she didn't like to play around every day. After a while, the third uncle and the third aunt came back after selling the tofu.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt!" Du Yu saw that both of their faces were red, and it seemed that their hair was steaming, and the tofu in the back of the car was sold out. Hey, she suddenly thought of it, fish and tofu are stewed together , wouldn't the taste be better, especially the tofu in the fish, it will become more and more delicious by then, it is really delicious.

"Hey, Yu'er, are there any guests at home?" Du Youxian asked.

"My uncle is here." Du Yu hurriedly said, "Third uncle and third aunt, go and have a rest."

I've been busy since the morning, so I can't say it's not hard work.

It's not easy to make money. Fortunately, Mrs. Qi said that they keep half of the money they earn, otherwise it would be really unbearable.

Just like that, the hands of Third Uncle and Third Aunt were so cold that they split open.I don't have the kind of grease to wipe my hands and face at home, it can only become like this.

Gao's heart darkened, someone from the Hu family came, and she definitely sent something. In comparison, her natal family didn't have anything to send, and she felt inferior and panicked.

However, this is not comparable. If they are really compared, she will have to die of inferiority?That's the condition of my natal family. Fortunately, I am not the eldest daughter-in-law, otherwise I would feel even more uncomfortable if I have a younger sister-in-law who is more decent than you in everything.

As the third daughter-in-law, she is not as decent as her sister-in-law, so she can get by.

Du Yu helped drive the donkey to the barn. The donkey had made a great contribution to the family, but Du Yu found that the donkey was old enough.For a rural family, having an animal is a great asset. If the donkey fails, I don't know what will happen to the family.

When Chinese New Year was approaching, there were more people buying tofu, and each purchase cost five or six yuan. Du Youxian and the others couldn't use the cart, so they used a donkey cart.This sells more.Of course, more money is earned.

"Let me do it, be careful that the donkey kicks you." Cousin Hu Xin came over at some point, but when he saw Du Yu tying the donkey, he hurried over.

"Big cousin, aren't you talking to my grandfather about learning? Why did you come out so soon?" Du Yu asked.

Hu Xin said: "Da Lang and Er Lang continued to listen, so I came out." In fact, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Du Yu didn't know that his grandfather caught a man who could talk and learned, and his addiction came up. He must be talking endlessly.My big cousin couldn't take it anymore, so he slipped out.

The overly enthusiastic hospitality is unbearable. Du Yu really smiled secretly. Seeing the little fox-like smile of his little cousin, Hu Xin couldn't help rubbing Du Yu's hair, and Du Yu twisted to hide "Big cousin, be careful, my donkey likes to throw its kicks at strangers."

Be careful that it kicks you with one back kick, it's not worth the candle.

Du Yu said, the donkey didn't know if he understood, but he was really going to kick his ass.The two cousins ​​were taken aback.

But after thinking about it, they felt it was funny again. Both of them couldn't help laughing. The people working in the kitchen also heard it. Mrs. Gao went into the kitchen to help without stopping. Mrs. Hu asked her to light the fire This also means warm and warm.

Hearing Du Yu and Hu Xin laugh, Gao said with a smile: "Yu'er has a good relationship with her cousin, just like a brother and sister."

After hearing this, Hu laughed and said: "Xin'er treats his sister Xiaoling well at home, and Yu'er and Xiaoling are not much different. Usually, if there is any delicious food, I will leave a portion for Yu'er."

Mrs. Qi was chopping fish, and said after hearing this: "I think this kid Hu Xin will definitely be promising in the future, and I don't know whose daughter will be so lucky in the future."

The old man, what he said was the matter of marriage.Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "My brother and sister-in-law all want to let Xin'er become famous in reading, and then talk about kissing. Anyway, Xin'er is not too old now."

The Qi family also wouldn't say, if they don't pass the exam, they won't get married all the time, wouldn't that be a disappointment?What's more, even if Hu Xin doesn't pass the exam, his family's conditions are pretty good, and he doesn't worry about not being able to marry a wife.Where is it like the old man, the family conditions are not good, and he is hated by his elder brother and sister-in-law. Hu Xin is the only son, although, now Ji is pregnant again, but the difference is too big, why?

What's more, Hu Xin is still the boss, and there is no problem they encountered before.

After all, this Hu Xin is a child of the Hu family, and she has nothing to do with his marriage, so why worry about that?
After the meal was ready, Uncle Hu and Du Youzhong also agreed on something, and they both asked Uncle Hu to sit on the seat. Uncle Hu was not willing to sit on it with Mr. Du, so it was considered good.
