Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 17
On New Year's Eve, the whole family is busy.

Mr. Xia instructed his sons to climb up to the roof to sweep the snow and replace the roof with new tiles and thatch.

The old couplets were removed from the gate and new ones were pasted.

Similar to "look up to see happiness", "six animals prosperous", "lucky snow and good year", window flowers with blessing characters, etc., have all been posted.These things must be neatly attached before noon, and not a single place can be dropped.

Mrs. Zhou brought her family members, big and small, and sat together making dumplings.

The Zhou family assigned tasks to several daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Liu was in charge of mixing the noodles with fine white flour, and after making up, she kept it awake in the basin.Kneading the dough is a tough job, Liu Shi didn't want to sweat, but he didn't dare to refuse.Hearing her mother-in-law's assignment, her smile froze.

Mr. Sun was in charge of mincing ten pounds of minced meat. The meat was personally selected by Mr. Zhou, and it was all fat and lean pork belly.

Mr. Zhou also carefully selected two cabbage, two sauerkraut, and two radishes, and asked Mr. Wu and Mrs. Jiang to divide the labor and work together to clean them first, then chop these vegetables finely, and prepare the stuffing.

The fifth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cheng, was in charge of taking care of the pregnant daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, while watching a few younger children, such as Meihua, Linghua, Liulang, and Zaohua.

Mr. Zhou did it himself, spread out twenty eggs, and added two pieces of tofu.

Xia Yujiao is responsible for peeling the onion and garlic, and adding the dumpling stuffing.

The older girls, Jinhua, Peach Blossom, Xinghua, and Pear Blossom, were all assigned by the Zhou family.

Jinhua is in charge of choosing leeks, Peach Blossom is in charge of setting fire and boiling water, Xinghua is in charge of cleaning chopping boards, knives, and cleaning pots and pans.

Pear flowers are responsible for soaking mushrooms, fungus, and dried vegetables, and they have to check for leaks.Once she encounters a shortage of people and needs to help, she has to go upstairs.

The other children were also very knowledgeable. The boy took three or five small firecrackers and ran to the village to invite friends and friends, buried the firecrackers in the snowdrifts, lit the letter with half-cut incense, and then covered his ears and retreated to safety. distance.

Boys love firecrackers, and there are sporadic "collapse", "ba" and "bang", one after another, continuously.

The girls follow their sister sensible, and are very discerning and ready to help her at any time.

Of course, there are also less conscious ones, such as Yinhua.

She was bored in the house at first and didn't want to come out.Later, although she came out, she didn't go to Jinhua's side, but moved to her sister-in-law Zhu's side and accompanies Zhu to talk to relieve the boredom.

Xia Daohua's eyes occasionally swept over, and Yinhua's eyes were somewhat panicked and dodged.

I don't know what she is afraid of.Was she afraid that Xia Daohua would hold her accountable for not reporting the letter to her family in time?Or worried that Xia Daohua will think of something bad for her?

After being busy for a long time, the noodles soon woke up, and the fillings for several kinds of dumplings were mixed well, so the Zhou family took the daughter-in-law and granddaughters and sat down happily to make dumplings.

When there are more people, the work will naturally be much faster.

At about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the slanting sun shone warmly into the house, and the table was already full of curtains.

On each of the curtains, there are white and fat dumplings standing in circles and circles, squeezing each other, forming a line.

The lids and curtains are taken to the outside to freeze, and then the meat, tofu and sauerkraut blood sausages are stewed.

The Xia family was busy until it was dark, and every household in Beiguan Village lit up their lights.

On weekdays, at night, whoever dares to light a lamp to boil oil will be scolded by the family's budget-conscious old man.

But it's New Year's Eve!
Every household, pay attention to a bright and dignified.

Even the poorest people in the village have to turn on the lights, and they must not go out until the sun rises.

After dinner, the Xia family first went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, kowtowed to their ancestors, and then returned home. Everyone gathered together and had a very hearty dinner. Except for the children, they all drank some wine. .

At the wine table, the big guys were also lively and chatty, not as quiet as usual.

After drinking and eating, it was a hassle to clean up again.

After that, he kowtowed to the old man Xia Ping'an and the old lady Zhou Shi to pay New Year's greetings.

Press the head of the room, starting from the big room and ending with Xia Yujiao.

Then came the generation of Dalang.

The old Xia family's rule was that as long as they didn't get married, they were considered children.

Therefore, in Daohua's generation, only Xia Dalang and Zhu's did not have New Year's money.As for Xia Yujiao from the previous generation, although she was older, she had some lucky money to take.

The New Year's money is wrapped in red paper, but everyone knows who gets how much—ten coins for each boy and five coins for each girl.

Then the old couple took out the treasures they had been hiding—a large pot of frozen pears, frozen persimmons, and frozen red flowers.

The children cheered and jumped up, and Xia Daohua couldn't help but smile.

The old lady Zhou hurriedly stated: "Don't worry, you can eat at most one frozen persimmon and frozen pear each, and you are afraid of catching a cold. You can eat a handful of bonuses, but you can't freeze your appetite. Save some belly, and I will return it later. Gotta eat dumplings!"

The children cheered, agreed, and stretched out their little hands to pick out their favorite food from the big pot.

As soon as you grab it, turn around and run.

Xia Daohua also stretched out her little hand and took a frozen persimmon.She took a light bite on the persimmon skin, it was icy cold, and she was instantly refreshed.

The persimmon skin is slightly astringent, but the sweetness is more intense.She followed the small bite and took a deep breath.The thick, sweet persimmon juice flows into the mouth with a "swish".

"Shu Tan!"

Xia Daohua narrowed her eyes with a smile.

I don't know if it's because the variety is relatively primitive, this persimmon is not big, but the taste is really delicious!
Not only the children happily ate these frozen fruits characteristic of Beiguan Town, but the adults also picked their favorites and ate them happily.

Zhou Shi's mouth is not bad, holding a dark frozen pear, while gnawing, talking to Mr. Xia.

Everyone laughed for a while, and then heard the melodious bell ringing, followed by "Bang!" A burst of fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating half of the night sky.

The light penetrated through the thick two layers of window paper and entered the room.

It turned out that the county government rang the bell, announced the time, and set off fireworks.

The fireworks set off by the county government are like a signal, and then, in many places in the county, firecrackers sounded along with the "crackling", and many large families also set off fireworks.

For a time, the night sky was full of beautiful scenery.

Colorful, radiant, fire trees and silver flowers, beautiful.

It attracted everyone to run out of the house, stand on the open space with a good view, stretched their necks, raised their toes, looked around, their heads kept spinning around with the light of fireworks and the sound of firecrackers, and they didn't know where to stare. Just look.
