Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 90

No matter how cold the weather is, no matter how strong the winter wind is, the villagers' excitement for welcoming the New Year cannot be dispelled. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, every household is busy.

Xiaonian has a good meal first, then cleans the house and pastes the windows, washes the clothes and quilts and covers the door curtains, kills chickens and pigs and stews meat, cleans up inside and out, and prepares for relative banquets after the year and year after year...

The Xue family's pigs were still young, and Ye Ya was reluctant to slaughter them, so Xue Song only killed two chickens, and then bought twenty catties of pork from a pig slaughterer in the same village.

Ye Ya thought he bought too much and wasted money, Xue Song didn't speak, just looked at her and smiled.

On the 29th day, the Wang family who sells lozas in the village sent his son to bring Ye Yading's fifteen lozas.After lunch, Ye Ya started to make sticks.

The three brothers of the Xue family, Xue Song still has some memories of the Chinese New Year when they were young. Xue Shu and Xue Bai have long forgotten to be clean. So many tricks?The second aunt's house treats guests, and they just go to eat at the o'clock, they can only eat, they can't cook.Now that I have a daughter-in-law, it is a pleasure to watch her cook, so just as Ye Ya moved the kang table to the west room kang, the three brothers occupied the other three sides, looking like they wanted to watch.

After half a month of deliberate "training" of her by her brothers, Ye Ya has become a little accustomed to their battles, and thinking that they like to watch her cook because they lost their mother early, she is reluctant to drive them away.

Rolling sticks takes a lot of time, and it's too cold outside, so you have to make them indoors.Ye Ya moved the cutting board to the kang table, mixed the batter and put it aside, then knelt down on the edge of the kang with her back straight and began to get busy.The thin meat stuffing was chopped on the outside, with green onion and garlic inside, and the cut corners. Ye Ya wanted to crack an egg into it, but remembering that Xue Bai didn't like it, she didn't put it in.

She stacked the strips cut into strips layer by layer, staggering the upper and lower sheets by more than a finger's width.

"Daughter-in-law, you are not aligned, let me fix it for you!" Xue Shu stretched out his hand to help.

Xue Song grabbed him in time, pointed to the vacant corner and said, "Don't make trouble, that's what you want, and you'll have to put batter here in a while, so watch carefully."

Xue Bai sat quietly at the side, looking at Ye Ya seriously.Because she had to cook, her sleeves were rolled up, revealing two slender white and plump wrists, but her frozen red fingers looked slender and pitiful.Although every daughter-in-law cooks like this in winter, he just doesn't want her to freeze.There is no way this year, and in the future... Forget it, prepare for the college entrance examination first, everything is just a dream before you have fame.

Seeing Xue Bai staring at her in a daze, Ye Ya blinked suspiciously.

Xue Bai smiled brightly at her.

Ye Ya blushed and didn't dare to be distracted anymore.

After stacking the layers, spread the batter one by one on the specially reserved places on each layer. Ye Ya uses chopsticks to clamp the meat stuffing to the end of the layer that has not been coated with batter. It is also piled up into a thick finger and placed in a long shape. One piece, after laying it out, roll it up, roll it up and stick it to the place where the batter is applied, and this one will be rolled up.Put it aside first, and after it is all rolled up, cut it into a few sections as long as your little finger.

Estimating the time, Ye Ya habitually asked Xue Shu to go to the western pot to burn oil.

Xue Shu didn't really want to go, but Xue Song and Xue Bai obviously didn't intend to help him, and his wife didn't order them, so he pouted, "I'll eat first then!"

"Well, I'll eat it for you first!" Ye Ya looked at him with a smile.

After Xue Shu went out, Xue Bai suddenly said: "Second sister-in-law, don't burn the western pot tomorrow, we will all watch the night in the east room, heat up the kang, so as not to be cold in the middle of the night, then you and the second brother will be there directly Just go to sleep."

"Did you keep vigil every year?" Ye Ya asked in surprise.There is indeed a night watch custom on New Year's Eve, but in winter, not many people really insist on staying up until midnight. At most, the family is lively and lively, and they just go to bed later than usual. When she was a child, she almost fell asleep after eating dumplings.

"Well, it was decided by the eldest brother." Xue Bai replied with a smile.

Xue Song looked at him calmly and lowered his eyes.

When Ye Ya agreed, she didn't think much about it, she lowered her head and continued rolling the sticks, so she didn't see Xue Bai's smirk.

The sticks are all rolled up, and the oil is hot, put them all into the pan, deep-fry until light golden brown, remove and control the oil.

Xue Shu couldn't wait to eat it, Ye Ya stopped him, pointed to the remaining twenty or so in the pot and said: "Eat that later, these are not cooked yet, save them for later." After finishing speaking, he returned the big pot. The sizzling sticks were put into the cupboard.

After waiting for a while, the sticks had turned golden yellow and were a little burnt, so Ye Ya picked them up on a plate and gave them a taste for the three brothers first.

The skin of the sticks is crispy, and the meat filling is salty and fragrant. Xue Shu said it was delicious and not too hot, so he ate three of them in a row.

After Xue Song cleaned up the table, he put the cutting board back to its original place, and asked Xue Bai to bring the pick plate into the room, while he wiped Ye Ya's hands with a warm, wet handkerchief, "Okay, I've been tired for a long time, wipe it off." Wipe your hands, let's go and sit inside."

Ye Ya wanted to come by herself, but how could she beat Xue Song's big hand?

This afternoon, the four of them had a delicious snack at the top of the kang. The next day was New Year's Eve, and Ye Ya made six dishes at noon, braised pork ribs, stewed chicken, fried octopus, fried skewers, and stewed pickled cabbage. Tofu, and a plate of bright red fried peanuts.The family ate very happily. Except for the peanuts, they hardly moved, and ate up all the other five items.

After the meal, Xue Shu washed the pot, Chun Xing and his brother came over, and Ye Ya talked with them.

There are so many people, and you talk to each other, time seems to pass by all of a sudden, and it will be dark outside in a blink of an eye.Ye Ya hurriedly drove the two away and started busy making dumplings. Fortunately, Xue Shu said that all three of them know how to make dumplings, and they should be able to make two meals tonight and tomorrow morning before dark.

However, when she mixed the stuffing, rolled out the dumpling wrappers, and saw the dumplings made by her brothers, she was completely dumbfounded.

The dumpling made by Xue Song, ahem, is very firm, and the filling will not be exposed at first glance, but the shape, no matter how you look at it, is a small bun!

The dumplings made by Xue Shu were long and flat, and couldn't stand at all. As soon as he let go, the dumplings fell on the panel, like a listless little mouse.

The dumplings made by Xue Bo barely caught the eye, but his movements were too slow, especially when he closed the dumpling skins at the end, he kept pinching and pinching, as if the dumplings would break open after being put into the pot, but he Why don't you think about it, he stuffed so much stuffing, can the skin not be broken?
She made a decisive decision, and it was rare for her to tell her three brothers: "Brother, go over there and make Yuanxiao. Ashu, go outside to boil water. Third brother, you, look at how I made it, don't put so much Stuffing." After finishing speaking, he began to make dumplings quickly, and if he delayed, it would be dark.

The three brothers looked at each other, Xue Song's face was a little hot, he picked up the sticky noodle basin and moved it to the other side of the panel, Xue Shu went out aggrieved, Xue Bai stood next to Ye Ya in a victorious posture, but Ruyu's face also appeared. A touch of red.

The four of them divided the work and finally finished their work before night fell. However, when they finished eating the hot dumplings, it was completely dark.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go back to the house and sleep." Xue Shu finished washing the pot, came in and called Ye Ya.

Ye Ya was about to go to the Westinghouse to bring over the bedding, when she heard this, she couldn't help being taken aback: "Aren't you going to watch the night?"

Xue Shu was even more at a loss than she: "Why do you have to watch the night? I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!"

The prestige that Ye Ya had built up in front of her three brothers before the meal disappeared immediately.

Her heart was beating wildly, she didn't even look at Xue Song and Xue Bai, she moved to Kang Yan'er and was about to go to the ground.

Xue Song sighed helplessly, and reached out to catch the little girl who was about to run away.

Ye Ya became more and more nervous, lowered her head and struggled in the man's arms: "Brother, let me go, I want to go back to sleep!"

"Don't make trouble, Yaya, it's really just a vigil together, don't worry. Second brother, go and bring your bedding over here. When the vigil is over, you two will sleep here. There is no fire today, and the kang is cold. "I have to sleep in the same room sooner or later, what is more suitable than the opportunity of vigil?"
"Daughter-in-law?" Seeing Ye Ya's unwillingness, Xue Shu felt a little embarrassed.It doesn't really matter where he sleeps.

Just as Ye Ya was about to refuse, Xue Bai said calmly, "Second sister-in-law, it's really just a night watch, so don't think too much about it. My eldest brother and I left after the fifteenth day. We don't have much time with you. You can accompany us more Can't you just talk if you stay half the night?"

The voice was calm, but with a hint of begging.

Ye Ya was reluctant to part with her, bit her lip and thought about it, then nodded.No matter how big brother thinks about it, it is impossible for him to mess around tonight. As for the third brother, he doesn't seem to think about it at all. She has nothing to worry about. As for Xue Shu, he gets sleepy very easily. When we talk about it later, he will definitely not be able to make it through Stay and sleep first.

She agreed, and Xue Song had no reason to hug her anymore, and put her beside him, and the kang table had not been removed yet.

Now that the decision was made, Xue Shu went to get the things.

"Daughter-in-law, where do we put the quilt?"

"Put it in the middle." Xue Song answered first, got up, and moved his quilt to the east, but Xue Bai also dragged his quilt over, and gave the kang head to Xue Shu: "Second brother and second sister-in-law Sleep on the kang, it's hot."

Xue Shu sighed, put the quilt on, and sat down on the west side of the kang table. Seeing Ye Ya kneeling between the elder brother opposite and the third younger brother in the south, he greeted her with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, the edge of the kang in the north is cold, come here, I will Holding you." He was already sleepy, if he hugged his wife, maybe he could last longer.

Just at this moment, a louder sound came from far outside.

Xue Bai's heart moved, and he suggested with a smile: "Second brother, now the second sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the three of us, we can't just let you hold her alone."

"Third brother!" Ye Ya couldn't lift her head, she quickly sat down on the north side, facing the door: "I sit by myself, no one needs you to hug."

Xue Shubuyi: "I want to hug my wife, or I will fall asleep!"

"Then you go to sleep first!" Ye Ya replied angrily, really getting more and more nonsense.

"But I'm not sleepy enough to sleep now, I want to watch the night with you!" Xue Shu said loudly, remembering that his elder brother hugged his daughter-in-law just now, he got up and pulled Ye Ya into his arms, letting her sit on his side lap, hugged her tightly, and then smiled proudly at Xue Song and his brothers.

Not waiting for Ye Ya to resist, Xue Bo said again: "That's all right, second brother, you hold the second sister-in-law first, and after the second watch is knocked, let the eldest brother hold her, and give it to me after the third watch, how about it?"

"Third brother!" Ye Ya was really angry this time, raised his head from Xue Shu's embrace, and glared at Xue Bai angrily.

Xue Bai didn't feel guilty about doing anything wrong, and looked at her with a smile on the corner of his lips, his peach blossom eyes became more tender and affectionate in the candlelight: "Second sister-in-law, it's rare to celebrate the new year, just promise us, besides, it will be dark and windy in a while. , you are weak, we will hold you, and you will not be cold."

Ye Ya didn't expect Xue Bo to say this, she didn't dare to look at him anymore, knowing that she couldn't explain the reason to him, she looked at Xue Song for help: "Brother..."

She was petite and was held in Xue Shu's arms, her pretty face was flushed, and she looked at him pitifully, her almond eyes were full, as if she was holding two cups of autumn water, full and moving.Xue Song was a bit reluctant to force her at first, but when he thought that she would come into his arms after the second watch, he could hold her for a full hour, and he couldn't say anything to reprimand his two younger brothers.After a moment of silence, he comforted her in a low voice: "Just hug her, don't be cold." After speaking, he looked at Xue Bai and changed the subject.

Xue Bai suppressed his smile, and instead of looking at Ye Ya's astonished expression, he spoke to Xue Song very seriously.

Xue Shu didn't care whether he really understood or pretended to understand, and immediately joined them.

Ye Ya was hugged by Xue Shu blankly like a child, listening to the three brothers talking, after some time, she came back to her senses, glared at Xue Song and Xue Bai hatefully, turned her back and buried herself in Xue Shu's arms, pretending to be dead not talking.Since they are going to keep watch at night, they should go watch. She sleeps, who cares who holds her, she sleeps!
But she just thought about it this way, pretending to be asleep to deceive them, how could she be able to sleep in this situation?

Slowly, listening to the different but pleasant voices of the three brothers, she gradually calmed down, instead of being so angry and ashamed.

After the new year, the eldest brother will go to the town, and if the third brother has passed the college test, he will soon go to the county to study, and then there will be the autumn test. Time, how long can he stay at home?How many times do the four of you have the chance to get together and chat like this?

His heart calmed down, and when Xue Bai tried to talk to her again, Ye Ya responded in a low voice.

Where there is the first sentence, there is the second sentence. Under Xue Bai's patient guidance, Ye Ya raised his head from Xue Shu's arms without knowing it, and naturally joined their conversation.She leaned on Xue Shu's arm with her whole body relaxed, with her little feet inserted under the quilt. It was undeniable that she was hugged by a man, even though it was late at night and the air was cold, she didn't feel cold.

The candle flickered and lit a little.

Before the second watch, Xue Shu was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

Xue Song and Xue Bai moved the kang table to the east, and let Xue Shu sleep first.

As a result, the relaxed atmosphere was interrupted, and she was about to be hugged by Xue Song, Ye Ya became nervous again, and whispered to them to sleep too.

Xue Song directly pulled Ren into his arms and told her his thoughts with actions. To Ye Ya's surprise, Xue Song asked Xue Bai to put out the candle.

"Second brother is sleeping, he can't sleep well when the room is on, you two can talk later, don't worry about me."

Ye Ya instinctively felt something was wrong, but Xue Bai had already blown out the candles, and the room fell into darkness instantly.

After a while of silence, Xue Bai continued to talk, but lowered his voice.

There was silence again in the room.

Xue Bai hugged Ye Ya tightly, put his face close to hers, and murmured in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, your face is so hot, is it because I hugged you?"

Ye Ya's heart was beating like a drum, and she didn't know what to say.She is very hot, because of Xue Song, and because of being hugged by him, which is more and which is less, she can't tell.

"Second sister-in-law, I've wanted to hug you like this for a long time, you are as light and soft as I dreamed..." Xue Bai kissed her temples once.

Ye Ya was really thirsty, she couldn't help swallowing, afraid of being heard by him, she held her heart and slowed down her movements.

"Second sister-in-law, you are so stupid..." Xue Bai smiled softly, held her face in his hands, and kissed her deeply.

Between lips and teeth, he unbuttoned her coat.The thick winter clothes fell off her body, she was cold and shivered in his arms.

Ye Ya closed her eyes, did he finally want her too?But she is just like Xue Song, the bottom is still wet, will he notice it?

"Second sister-in-law, sleep with me tonight, let me hold you to sleep overnight..."

He whispered in her ear, Ye Ya was cold and hot, she was nervous, she thought, but she was afraid.

Xue Bai kissed her face, put her down, gently put the kang table on the ground, then stepped over the two who were sleeping honestly, carried over the unused quilt on the west kang, spread it, and lifted the quilt.Ye Ya obediently got in, and after lying down, she nervously shrunk in until she was blocked by the wall and had nowhere to hide.

Xue Bo then undressed.He came in, hugged her, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of her hair.

Ye Ya waited anxiously, but he didn't move for a long time.

Until the high spirits that were pressing against her gradually calmed down, Ye Ya's expectation finally turned into deep disappointment.

She was wronged, what exactly does he want?If you really don't want to, don't tease her?
The shoulders in his arms trembled suddenly, Xue Bai was taken aback, and when he touched her face, it was really wet.

"Why are you crying?" He bowed his head and kissed her tears.

Ye Ya pushed him away violently, got up and was about to leave.Whether she is afraid or not looking forward to it is one thing, whether he wants it or not is another thing, if he doesn't want her...

Xue Bai hurriedly pulled the person back, turned over and pressed on her to prevent her from hiding, "What's the matter?"

Ye Ya bit her lip and didn't speak, and didn't let Xue Bai kiss her, but she couldn't stop her tears.

Even if she couldn't see it, Xue Bai could still imagine with a few touches and dodges that she must look aggrieved.

He's a smart guy and figured it out quickly.

"Second sister-in-law, I was wrong, I didn't tell you clearly." He hugged her waist tightly, letting her feel the changes in him because of her.

Ye Ya's heart trembled, he obviously wanted it very much, could it be...

Just as she was thinking wildly, Xue Bai leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Stupid, of course I want you, I'm going crazy thinking about it, but I don't have anything now, and what I told you before is just empty words. Second sister-in-law, wait a little longer, I will definitely come back with a test for you, and let you know that what I said is true, no matter how good the marriage is, I only have you in my heart, and I will not do anything for anyone. People are shaken. Second sister-in-law, wait for you to believe me, then give it to me and let me take you well, okay?"

So he actually thought so...

Ye Ya felt ashamed of her wild thinking, and felt sorry for him, "Third brother, I believe in you, even if you don't have fame, I still believe in you."

"What does the second sister-in-law mean, do you want me to want you now?" Xue Bai whispered ambiguously, and intentionally pushed her lightly twice through his coat.

"No, I'm not, that means..." Ye Ya's face was on fire, and he hesitated, not knowing how to explain it.

"I really want you now!"

Xue Bo kissed her fiercely until he was almost unable to breathe, then he got off her body with difficulty, hugged her and dared not move any more.

This time, although he didn't want her, Ye Ya felt sweet in her heart. She cuddled in his warm arms, and slowly fell asleep under the gentle caress of the man.
