Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 567
After playing in the snow for a while, it was almost lunch time, Cheng He called Cheng Xinxin back with great effort.

I have been playing in the snow for a long time now, I have to go back to warm up, or I am afraid that she will get sick.

This guy is not so easy to coax back when he comes out.This reminded Cheng He of a joke on the Internet - the husky who hadn't played enough didn't want to go back, so he paralyzed himself on the ground and refused to go. Tongue sticking out to play dead.

At this time, Cheng Xinxin was probably on the verge of dying, so she refused to go back no matter what she said.

Cheng He saw that her little hands were red from the cold, and asked her, "Is it cold?"

"not cold."

It's so wrong!
Probably she is wearing a lot of clothes, and she has been playing in the snow and has been active, so her body is not cold.But the two little hands were really frozen into carrots.

Cheng He decided to be a domineering father once more, and instead of discussing with her, he picked her up and carried her home.

Cheng Xinxin struggled around like a loach: "No, I still want to play, Dad, I won't go back, I won't go back..."

"What are you playing! Don't play, go back to warm up. Look at your hands, how frozen are they?" Cheng He held her with one arm, and no matter how hard she struggled, she would not move.

"I don't warm up, I don't get cold..." Cheng Xinxin tried to argue.

Cheng He changed his strategy and said, "Let's have hot pot for lunch, shall we?"

Eating hot pot on a snowy day is warm and comfortable, and most importantly, there is a high probability that eating it can divert the girl's attention.

Sure enough, Cheng Xinxin was moved by the food, and said, "Let's boil eggs in the hot pot, shall we?"

She likes to eat eggs in hot pot, which is the kind that is directly boiled in a hot pot. It is similar to poached eggs, but it has not been fried in a pot, and it has a hot pot soup taste.

Cheng He said: "Okay, how many do you eat?"

"I want to eat...three..." Cheng Xinxin said while thinking.

Cheng He pinched the rabbit ears on her hat and said, "Eat three? You only eat eggs and nothing else?"

Cheng Xinxin said, "I want to eat something else, I want to eat a lot, a lot, a lot."

She is still held by Cheng He, her whole body is almost lying sideways, and it is a bit difficult to speak, but it feels strange to walk back like this. She raised her head and looked around, looking at her yard from a perspective that she had never seen before.

Bai Qian saw the father and daughter from the window.

Seeing Cheng Heheng holding a pink baby rabbit, she almost choked with laughter, and said, "I see you, there is really nothing you can do about her, if she wants the stars in the sky, you have to Figured out a way?"

Cheng He said leisurely: "That's natural. Even if I can't get the real one, I will make an imitation one for her."

With that said, he carried the little guy into the fire house.

As soon as Cheng Xinxin landed, she immediately went to play with her toys, made out with the big yellow dog for a while, and gave it all her toys.

Cheng He asked, "Baby, aren't your hands cold?"

"It's not cold, my hands are so hot, Dad, my hands are hot..." She stood up suddenly, walked towards him, and showed her hands to her father.

The two little hands are still very red, having grabbed snow before.

At this time, the redness has not faded, but the hands that have played in the snow will have a fever for a while, and the little guy can't express clearly, saying "the hands are so hot".

Cheng He squeezed her hand, rubbed it for her, and said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter. Now you know how powerful it is? You just asked you to come back, but you still don't want to."

Cheng Xinxin smiled innocently, stomped her feet on the ground lightly, and let her father rub her hands.

After warming up for a while, Cheng He went to make hot pot.

It’s good to eat hot pot in winter, and it’s easy to cook. You don’t need to cook, just prepare some meat and vegetables, and it’s still warm to eat. In snowy days like this, you can eat it all the time, and you’ll feel warm all over.

Cheng Xinxin ate the eggs in the hot pot as she wished, but there was only one, not the three she had said.

Always pay attention to balanced nutrition. If you are full with three eggs, you will not be able to eat anything else.

After dinner, Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin took a nap. Cheng He didn't want to sleep, so he went to clear the snow off the top of the pigsty.Although the current pigsty is not like the previous one, where a straw shed was built to make do with it, and it could not withstand any wind and snow, the current pigsty is much stronger.

But Youxue still shoveled it off habitually, and then added some hay to the pigsty to make the last days of these two guys more comfortable, and it was almost time to kill the pigs.

Sometimes, those pigs really don't live up to their expectations, and they put in the hay they changed to keep them warm and sleep more comfortably. As a result, they get lazy and urinate there, freezing to ice when it gets cold.

Alas, mentioning these makes me angry.

After changing the hay for the pig, Cheng He went to the field again and cleaned the snow from the giant tomato shed.

Although the snow is not very heavy, I am afraid that it will continue to snow tonight. At that time, it will be a relatively large load. If any place is relatively fragile and the shed collapses, the giant tomatoes that have been planted for such a long time will also suffer. .

Fortunately, there is only such a large piece of land, and it is easy to get it up, and it can be cleaned up in a few strokes.

The days in winter are short, and although these things don't take much time, they are busy until the afternoon.

When Cheng He went back with a wooden shovel, he was walking on the road and saw firecrackers set off in front of Cheng Shuangwu's house, followed by a burst of fireworks.

Crackling is extremely lively.

Cheng He suddenly thought, what is their family going to do today?Forget it, if you get married, there are no young people of marriageable age; if you celebrate your birthday, their kid seems to be seven or eight years old?Probably not.

Or are they over thirty?forty?It doesn't feel like it.After all the calculations, it was probably the birthday banquet of their elders.I reckon this can't be wrong.

In their place, there are any banquets, such as wedding banquets, such as birthday banquets, such as teacher appreciation banquets, etc., which are called "official days", to the effect that they mean the days when there are some happy events.

In the village, except for some invitations for weddings, no invitations will be issued for the rest of the day, and wedding invitations are issued to relatives, or family members who often exchange gifts.

Peach Blossom Village is full of people with the same surname, such as side branches or those that are far away, so they will not send invitations according to the etiquette, but will only set up a big firecracker in front of the house to let the village know.

In the past, there were only firecrackers, but later the firecrackers got bigger and bigger, and the sound became longer and longer. Now that every family has money, in addition to a big firecracker, they also added several buckets of Chunlei fireworks, just one bright and loud!

The villagers who heard the sound of firecrackers knew that their family was about to hold a festival, and those who wanted to come to give gifts and take red envelopes would come by themselves; , this one will not come either.

This is the legendary human relationship.There are red envelopes of favor and favor, and if you come, I will go; if you don't come, I won't go, and neither will suffer.

This has been a tradition for a long time. In fact, it is more humane. After the firecrackers are set off, people in the village are free to come or not, and there is no embarrassment.

And if the host’s family doesn’t want to make a fuss about the day, and don’t want too many people to find it troublesome, then don’t set off firecrackers. Only relatives or close relatives gather together to have a quiet event, and the nearby folks will know that they If you are not prepared to accept other people's favors, you will not go.

It is estimated that to the people in the city, this is very complicated. If you want to manage your day, just call and let me know, and then you will be given a red envelope. Why is it so complicated?
In fact, only people who live here are particularly touched by the sound of firecrackers. Today, there is an old man in Cheng Shuangwu's family who is going to have a big birthday, probably the [-]th birthday.

Cheng Shuangwu's family is quite honest. When Bai Qian just came back, their family brought several chickens, and they usually gave away a lot of things. Moreover, Cheng Shuangwu himself also works in the village's security department, so he is very diligent.

His family has a birthday banquet, and Cheng He naturally wants to go, have a birthday banquet, and make a red envelope.

If others are worthy of him, he must be worthy of others.

When he got home, Cheng He changed into clean clothes, and was about to help Bai Qian make dinner before going out, when he saw Cheng Shi's daughter-in-law coming and invited Bai Qian to her house for dinner——

After Cheng Shi got married, he was going to do this kind of human relationship. He probably went to drink today, and his wife ate at home.

Zhou Yunan thought of Bai Qian, if Cheng He went to have a drink, if Cheng He took Cheng Xinxin, then Bai Qian would be left alone at home, so he came over and asked her to have dinner.

Originally, for general banquets, if the family is relatives, the whole family will go to eat after giving favors; but Cheng He is far away from Cheng Shuangwu's family, and it is a very distant side branch. It is okay to take a child there He was a little embarrassed to bring Bai Qian with him, and Bai Qian was even more embarrassed to go.

Therefore, he planned to make dinner for Bai Qian first, and then go to the banquet.

The banquet in Peach Blossom Village usually lasts for one and a half days, and tomorrow is the real day, but there was also a banquet the afternoon before, which is more lively than in the city.

In the past, this table was called "Supper", which was a veritable night snack, and it was held after seven or eight o'clock in the evening.And the quality of the banquet is also a bit worse than that of the daytime, so it is not considered a formal banquet.

Over the past ten years, I don't know how it started, the supper has also become a main meal, and the time has also been advanced, and it is directly regarded as a dinner.

In terms of quality, today's banquet is exactly the same as tomorrow's banquet, and it also starts with "three yuan and first", so the cost of the banquet is also greatly increased.

This is probably formed by the wind of comparison.

However, the people in Taohua Village can afford this money now, so it's not a problem at all.Cheng He even thought that if Cheng Shuangwu's family was in the past, he might not be able to celebrate his father's [-]th birthday.

Now that I have money in my pocket, and I have nothing to do in the twelfth lunar month, let's have fun.

Seeing Zhou Yunan coming over to ask Bai Qian to have dinner, Cheng He said politely to her, "How embarrassing, I'm about to cook for her."

If it was Cheng Shi himself, how could he be polite.

Zhou Yunan also had a big belly at this time, but she was younger than Bai Qian, and said: "What's the matter, the banquet has started over there, if you don't go, be careful not to catch up! Besides, you let Xiaoqian eat alone, Isn't that too lonely? Let's go, stop talking nonsense..."

With that said, she pulled Bai Qian away.

Cheng He took Cheng Xinxin by the hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the banquet."

Inexplicably, Cheng Xinxin became excited, and quickly followed, holding her father's hand and asking, "Dad, where are we going to have a banquet?"

This guy feels like a good thing.
