No dream for a night.
Cheng Huan got up early the next day and prepared the ingredients needed for the New Year's Eve dinner.
When I went to the next restaurant last night, Cheng Huan saw a lot of fresh vegetables and various meats in the kitchen. Jiang Mingyuan said that they were delivered by someone. She didn’t ask who delivered them. But just by looking at the quality of the raw materials, you know. All are good things.
The preparation before a meal has always been the most cumbersome. Cheng Huan cooks porridge in the pot, soaks the beef in cold water, defrosts the lamb chops, cuts the pork belly into pieces and blanched them to prepare braised pork.
Put the meat in a pot and put it in a low heat. The porridge on the other side is almost ready. There are pickled radishes from home. Cheng Huan tasted it. It tasted good, crisp and refreshing, and slightly sweet. She picked some out and put it in a bowl. , I baked two omelets with the dough, and when they came out, the father and son came down from upstairs.
The star was still led to jump down, and when he came over, he raised his nose and said that he was looking for meat to eat, but when he went to the kitchen, he found that all the meat was raw and felt disappointed.
"Mom, I want to eat meat." The little guy pouted.
Cheng Huan patted his head: "You can eat it these nights."
"What about noon?"
"We have chicken noodles at noon."
"Don't eat meat?"
"Shredded chicken is meat."
"All right." Xingxing was not satisfied, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the person in charge has the right to speak. The little guy nodded, reluctantly agreed, and asked again: "I still want to eat chicken legs."
Cheng Huan took him to the dining table, took the bowl of porridge that Jiang Mingyuan handed over, and tore a piece of cake from the plate and put it into his mouth: "Eat breakfast, stop talking."
"Oh." Xingxing grabbed the cake and stuffed it into his mouth, chew it, chew it, and finished eating, then began to express his opinion: "Mom, the cake is delicious!"
...
After eating, Jiang Mingyuan went to wash the dishes, and Cheng Huan started to stew chicken.
The chicken is an old hen that is raised in the countryside. The meat is tight, and there is not much meat on the body. It tastes best when used to make soup.
The chicken soup was being cooked, and the lamb chops were almost melted into ice. Cheng Huan couldn't help but tossing around for a few laps, stepped aside, and asked Jiang Mingyuan to come and help chop into pieces.
Jiang Mingyuan's hand is very strong, and it's easy to chop a lamb chop, but he is not good at knives, and the final product comes out in different sizes, and the gap is huge.
Cheng Huan didn't care about it because he was eating at home anyway. He put the sheep aside and started to deal with other things.
There are too many things to get, even if there is someone to help, Cheng Huan is too busy.
The chicken soup had been boiled, and Cheng Huan used the soup to make three bowls of noodles. After the family finished eating, they were ready to go to the grave.
Father Jiang was buried on the mountain. The cemetery was connected by a winding road. The road was not wide and there were many cars parked on the road. The cars couldn't get in at all. Several people had to get off the car and walk over.
There was a stall selling chrysanthemums near the cemetery. The flowers were fresh and expensive. Jiang Mingyuan bought three bunches, and three of them walked into the cemetery holding a bunch of flowers.
The area of the cemetery is huge. It was built according to the mountainous terrain. The front is low and the back is high. A two-meter-wide path is built in the middle. The two sides of the road are planted with green cypresses, which adds vitality to the cemetery.
Many people came to worship on New Year's Eve, and some people greeted Jiang Mingyuan along the way.He is considered a celebrity in this small town. Although he has not come back many times, everyone knows him and wants to get a relationship with him.Jiang Mingyuan didn't show much impatience for these people who came in endlessly. He responded when they came, but there were no more.
Rao Jiang Mingyuan didn't say much to everyone, but because of the large base, it took them nearly half an hour to walk from the cemetery gate to Jiang's father's cemetery.Father Jiang’s cemetery is behind the cemetery. This area is obviously more luxurious than the front, and the distance between the two is also far away.
There were a lot fewer people here to worship, and the three of them walked more smoothly.Jiang Mingyuan led the way, and two minutes later, he walked to a tomb.
The area of the tomb is not small, about 20 to 30 square meters. A wall was built around the tomb with pebbles. Inside is a reduced version of a double-storey Chinese-style small building. At the front entrance of the small building is a tombstone with the words Father Jiang. In the middle above the tombstone, there is a picture of Father Jiang inlaid with his name and the time of his birth and death.
The cemetery has a special person to take care of it, but the wages are not so careful. There are some weeds around Father Jiang’s grave. These grasses are tenacious and the cold wind in winter did not make them completely succumb. They still hold their heads up. .
Jiang Mingyuan walked to the tombstone, put down the bouquet in his hand, went to clean up the weeds, and returned to the tombstone, took a veil from his arms and wiped the tombstone clean, and then knelt down in front of the tombstone: "Dad, Happy New Year."
He didn't talk much, and after a few simple words, he stretched out his hand and pulled the star over.
Xingxing knelt beside his father ignorantly, staring at the photo on the tombstone, and it took a while to figure out what was going on: "Dad, is this grandpa?"
"Yes." Jiang Mingyuan touched his head with gentle eyes. He let the Xingxing kowtow to his grandfather, said a few words in a low voice, took the child to his feet, and then took Cheng Huan's hand to the photo. People said: "Dad, this is my girlfriend and future wife."
The two were not married, and Cheng Huan didn't need to kneel down to Jiang's father, but bowed in front of the tombstone.Jiang Mingyuan looked at her sideways, with a gentle smile in his eyes. When she straightened up, the man turned to his father and said, "When we get married, I will bring her to give you tea for your wife."
In front of Jiang's father's grave, Cheng Huan couldn't say anything, and only quietly pinched him. Jiang Mingyuan didn't respond at all on his face, reaching out and clenching her hand tighter.
The wind was strong, and a few people didn't stay in front of the tombstone for too long, and then walked back after speaking. When they returned, the sky was gloomy. Many people burned paper in front of the tombstone and there was the sound of firecrackers.The star was startled by the sudden sound of firecrackers, and hid in Jiang Mingyuan's arms, clutching his head, unwilling to come down.
Back home, Cheng Huan continued to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Jiang Mingyuan helped. The stars scurrying around the room, coming to the kitchen from time to time to order something to eat, and then going out after eating.
Starting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, some people have started to eat New Year's Eve dinner one after another. It is customary to set off firecrackers before eating New Year's Eve dinner.In fact, fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed at the foot of the mountain because of forest fire prevention, but the supervision of small places is not so strict, so this regulation is usually just a piece of paper, and the sound of firecrackers has never stopped since the meal.
Xingxing was very afraid of the firecrackers at first, so he would not be afraid after hearing more, and asked his own house enthusiastically.
Jiang Mingyuan raised his head and said to him, "Our house is too close to the mountain to set off firecrackers."
His house is backed by the mountains and forests, and the weather is dry in winter, and the mountains and forests will catch fire if you are not careful. Jiang Mingyuan can't control what others do, at least he can't know it.
After he finished speaking, he put the peeled shrimp on the plate and wiped the water off his face with his arm.The prawns are freshly caught and transported by air. When they are delivered, they are still alive and kicking. When they are peeled, they can slip out of your hands without paying attention, and then throw the water all over you.
Jiang Mingyuan peeled a pot of shrimps, and the whole person became extremely embarrassed. The chest of the well-cut suit was stained with dark water stains, and the hair was wet into strands, still dripping.
He sighed, stood up with a plate and handed the shrimp to Cheng Huan. After washing his hands with hand sanitizer several times, he smelled and smelled, and said to Cheng Huan, "I'll take a shower."
Cheng Huan waved at him: "Go, take my son by the way."
On New Year’s Eve, Cheng Huan lived with her grandfather when she was a child. Every time on New Year’s Eve, she had to take a bath and put on new clothes before going to eat New Year’s Eve dinner.When she was a child, she would rejoice with the new clothes and delicious things. When she grows up, she will not worry about food and clothing, but those customs have become a kind of fond memory, which she retains.
Jiang Mingyuan did not have this custom of taking a bath before eating, but Cheng Huan said he would not object. The father and son took a bath and put on new clothes. When they went downstairs, Cheng Huan just cooked the last dish.
She brought out the cooked dishes and put them on the table, reached out to untie her apron, and Jiang Mingyuan came to help when she saw it.The apron was taken off, and Cheng Huan asked him to get the dishes and chopsticks: "I'll take a bath, and I can eat later."
"Yeah." Jiang Mingyuan put an apron on his arm, lowered his head and pecked her lips: "Wait for you to come down."
The star next to them looked at them with wide eyes, but didn't say anything.Cheng Huan was a little embarrassed, pushed him a bit, turned and ran upstairs.
The same is to take a shower and put on new clothes. Cheng Huan painted herself a light makeup. Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, she raised her lips and said "Happy New Year", then turned around and walked downstairs gracefully. .
Today she is wearing a beige long coat with a pair of nine-point wide-leg pants of the same color. The long hair that reaches to the waist is scattered, looking a little lazy.
When Cheng Huan went down, the cousin whom he had seen before came again and asked them to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. He said that he did not leave after he made it. He had to say that the past was so crowded.
Jiang Mingyuan has always refused politely, but cousin always has countless reasons.It was not satisfactory until he agreed to eat tomorrow.After sending the people away, Jiang Mingyuan exhaled, closed the courtyard door, returned home, with a smile on his face again, and walked over to sit on the dining table.
The dishes are very rich, although considering the number of people to cook, it is far from what they can eat.
There were cheerful soundtracks on TV, and the atmosphere on the table was also lively. Jiang Mingyuan had not had such a reunion atmosphere for the Spring Festival in many years. He was so excited that he couldn't help drinking too much, but he was not so drunk, but a little bit drunk. He talked a lot more, holding Cheng Huan's hand on the table, calling her name after a while, and then watching her smile, Cheng Huan's heart was itchy.
After eating, Jiang Mingyuan took out a red envelope and handed it to the stars: "Come on, New Year's money, the stars will also be healthy and happy next year."
Taking into account his son's knowledge, Jiang Mingyuan's red envelope contains real money, not much money, but enough to fool the little guy.Xingxing took it happily, opened it and took a look, smiled happily, and said thank you father.
Jiang Mingyuan gave it, and Cheng Huan also took out a red envelope. The two discussed and gave the same money. So Xingxing was happy again, holding the two red envelopes in his arms and jumping around like a little fool.
Cheng Huan leaned against Jiang Mingyuan to watch her son scurry, feeling satisfied and calm in her heart.She couldn't help but thank this crossing for giving her the opportunity to experience a different kind of life.
The man beside her stretched his arm around her shoulders, Cheng Huan leaned in his arms and didn't care.Who knows that in the next second, a red seal will be handed to his eyes, and the man whispered: "Give you the lucky money."
Cheng Huan glanced at him with a smile: "What kind of New Year money do I want."
Jiang Mingyuan put the red envelope in her hand, put his arm around the person from behind, and said close to his ear: "I give it, of course you can."
"You..." Cheng Huan paused, and said nothing else. She took the red envelope, got upstairs, and came down after a while. She took a red envelope with a similar style and handed it to him: "For you, We will be healthy and safe for the whole year next year, and make more money."
"Okay." Jiang Mingyuan took the red envelope, took her hand and kissed it in the palm of his hand: "Make money to support you."
"No need, I can feed myself." Cheng Huan retorted in a low voice, pulling out his hand, taking off his jacket and rolling up his cuffs to prepare to wash the dishes.
"Let me come, you should rest after a busy day." Jiang Mingyuan pressed her, got up and walked over to pick up the pile of dirty dishes.
He was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Cheng Huan wiped the table. After wiping, he went in and washed his hands. Then he found a clean cloth and wiped the dishes that Jiang Mingyuan had washed.
The two didn't say anything, but the actions cooperated tacitly, and the occasional gaze crossed and revealed some sweet taste.
The last bowl was washed clean, Jiang Mingyuan wiped his hands, put his arms around the woman's waist from behind, sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and whispered, "I'm so happy."
