Jia's daughter-in-law of Zhen Hanzi's family

Chapter 207 The Gap
Now no one left obediently, they all started snowball fights, screaming excitedly.

Especially when Lu Xiu was still young, if she accidentally squatted on her buttocks, she didn't cry or make noise, instead she kept laughing excitedly.

The endless world is covered in silver makeup, which is magnificent and extraordinary.

It was the first time for Jia Yunhang to see such a thick snow, and he was so happy that he was a fool, rolling on the snow from time to time, and then holding a snowball for a snowball fight, screaming non-stop.

Tired from playing, Jia Yunhang called to Zhen Xiaoer, "Where's the bird?"

Zhen Xiaoer had never seen a bird before, so he acted confidently: "I was scared away by you lunatics."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by several snowballs, which knocked him into a daze.

Jia Haohao laughed loudly: "You know, Xiaoer, your expression and tone are so unbearable."

The others all followed suit: "That's right, let you lie!"

A few boys came running not far away, and they waved and said hello: "Little brother, come quickly, let's build a snowman and have a snowball fight here."

Zhen Xiaoer and Jia Yunhang were very moved, and asked them hypocritically: "Do you want to go together? These people won't tolerate you in snowball fights like us."

Mainly boys of this age are crazy when they play, and the four girls here will hold them back.

"Let's go back first." Jia Haohao didn't feel that his body was very strong. Seeing that the faces of Erniu Sanniu and Lu Xiu were flushed, and beads of sweat were dripping on the tip of their noses, he was afraid that one of them would catch a cold. He hurriedly said: "Let's go back and drink brown sugar tea, then eat some dried red dates and biscuits."

He waved at them again: "Go quickly, come back after playing for a while, drink some hot tea and eat something delicious."

Zhen Xiaoer nodded immediately, very well-behaved: "Yeah, my brother will come back after cleaning them up, can you save some for us?"

It has to be said that Jia Haohao really knows these two boys too well, hooking them up with delicious food is definitely more useful than calling them back directly.

However, when they went back, Dr. Huang had already made brown sugar ginger tea, and greeted them kindly: "Hurry up and drink some brown sugar ginger tea, it can dispel cold and dehumidify and prevent colds."

Although it didn't taste very good, Jia Haohao was also afraid that his runny nose would be too unsightly during the New Year's Eve, so he took the lead to drink two big bowls, and then obediently went to the kang to warm up.

I have to say that it is very useful to have Sister Zhen at home. The kang is warm all day long, so I don't have to worry about it myself.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

Even if the economy is in short supply now, it is difficult to have a better New Year’s Eve dinner, but every family has changed their ways to prepare a richer meal. Even in the most difficult times, they still treat them grandly, and look forward to the coming year. The weather is good, the food and clothing are abundant.

Yesterday, Zhen Youqin went to sell charcoal in private, and went to the town with her two younger brothers. When she came back, she complained that there were long queues in the supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable shops and restaurants in the town. Everyone bought New Year's goods with tickets.

In the end, they went to the black market and paid a high price to buy two roosters, as well as some fruits, meat, fish, cakes, etc. from the south, and of course they didn't forget to buy firecrackers.

Because today is the New Year's Eve, it is rare for Jia Haohao to get up early, and he gets up before eight o'clock.

In the usually quiet village, there were sporadic firecrackers.

The sound of chopping meat came from the kitchen, Er Niu and San Niu were already pasting window grilles and couplets.

The window grilles were cut by a few of them, and red window grilles were pasted on the not very transparent windows, which seemed to have the atmosphere of the New Year all at once.

The couplets were bought on red paper and cut out, and then brought to Cui Xiucheng in the educated youth spot or the head of the brigade, and they helped write them.

Sister Zhen is also very generous today. Early in the morning, according to what Jia Haohao said, she boiled a large pot with dried longan, red dates and shelled eggs, and put brown sugar in it. The taste is amazing.

Everyone in the family ate several bowls. If they were not thinking about the delicious chicken at noon, they would have eaten more.

"The Chinese New Year food over there is really decent." Sister Zhen served Jia a bowl of longan, red dates and eggs, and said with a smile: "I also heard from your brother that you used to have chicken, duck and fish for Chinese New Year, and we also roasted chicken at noon. , grilled fish, how do you want to eat it?"

Although it's rare for younger siblings to cook, even Sister Zhen can't deny that younger siblings can't cook, and she cooks fish very deliciously.

Jia spat out the longan core before smiling at Sister Zhen: "He bought some dried shiitake mushrooms yesterday, and stewed the shiitake mushrooms with the chicken, and added some ginger and rice wine."

"That's fine." If Sister Zhen's idea is to follow, and there are many people in the family, more potatoes or dried beans should be added to the stewed chicken, so that it can be eaten.

But today is New Year's Eve, and she still wants to satisfy her sister-in-law.

"By the way, big sister, just find a crock pot stewed chicken." Jia thought about the crock pot chicken his grandma made for him, it was delicious.

"Understood." Sister Zhen admired her siblings for their attention to food from the bottom of her heart.

Jia Hao finished a bowl of sweet longan red dates and eggs, and rejected the suggestion to add another bowl. Seeing Zhen Xiaoer kneading noodles, Jia Yunhang chopping meat, Dr. Huang lighting a fire, and even Lu Xiu squatting Sister Zhen is the one who has the most free time when she is plucking chicken feathers.

No, why isn't my man here?
She asked, "Sister, where did Yuqin go?"

"Go to Second Uncle's house to get furniture." Sister Zhen said with a smile: "Second Uncle and the others have been busy building two cabinets these days, and they have already put one in our room."

"That's pretty good." Jia took a good look at it. At home, there were chests, desks and stools in his own room. In addition, the room they lived in only had a kang and a stool, and nothing else.

Definitely need some furniture.

It's a pity that furniture is not easy to buy now. People who are going to get married are waiting in line with tickets and money to ask for chests of drawers and square tables, chairs, large wardrobes and dining cabinets.

Even if Second Uncle Zhen was in the furniture factory in the town, he couldn't decide to sell it to them privately.

Fortunately, there is a lot of wood in the village, and it was transported privately to the furniture factory for processing before. Uncle Zhen didn't have time at first, but now he brings his son and nephew to work overtime when he is free during the holidays.

Although Jia Haohao dislikes that the current furniture is one-of-a-kind, she does not dare to ask for novel styles, for fear that these will attract people's attention and bring unnecessary trouble to herself.

To put it nicely is low-key, to say it badly is timid.

Anyway, she made up her mind a long time ago, before ### stepped down completely, she will stay safely in this remote mountain nest.

"By the way, I'll go to the cellar to see how the garlic is doing now." Jia Haohao, who had nothing to do, finally thought of what he could do.

Go and see if the garlic seedlings are alive or dead.

Sister Zhen didn't have time to accompany her, so she asked her to take the key and oil lamp before going.

Jia Haohao was not used to using coal lamps, so he went back to his room to get a flashlight, pulled Xiao Qi out of the bed, and coaxed Xiao Qi to be his companion: "Get up, I will take you outside to play."

Xiao Qi rolled himself into a ball, and complained sullenly: "I'm still young, I'm still growing, and I need enough sleep, can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

"You've grown a whole body of fat." Jia carefully weighed Xiaoqi's weight and laughed, "If this continues, I'm worried that you will be caught and put in the pot when you go out."

After finishing speaking, he put Xiao Qi in his coat pocket, and he did not forget to add another sentence: "Look for yourself, this pocket is bulging, and it will soon be unable to hold it."

Xiaoqi pretended to be dead.

The main reason is that Xiaoqi also understands that people nowadays are really short of oil and water, and they are very greedy for meat. I discovered a cruel fact before. When I go out, someone always looks at me with green eyes. Light.

Although Xiaoqi felt that those stupid human beings would not be able to catch her, but seeing that look in her eyes, she was still very disturbed.

Hey, why I don't want to go out is because I don't want to be treated as meat on a plate.

Just as Jia Haohao went out, he saw Zhen Youqin and his cousin Zhen Youhua coming out of Xiao Er's room.

Zhen Youhua is already a 20-year-old boy, probably because he is not familiar with Jia Haohao, he greeted her a little shyly, and left quickly.

"It's cold outside, where are you going?" Zhen Youqin took a few steps back and patted the sawdust on the outside of his cotton coat.

"I'll go to the cellar." Jiahao simply asked him to go with him, and showed off his cleverness in turning waste into treasure.

The snow on the hills and trees outside has not melted away, but the snow at home has been cleaned almost, but the muddy ground is still wet.

It is said that the snow is not cold, but the snow is cold.

Even though Jiahao put several warm baby stickers on his body, and was wearing a woolen sweater, a small cotton padded jacket that was close-fitting, and a big cotton padded jacket outside, he still felt chilly.

Walking into the cellar, she felt warmer instead. Seeing crooked garlic sprouts about ten centimeters high in the clay pot, she was pleasantly surprised: "Look, I never thought I could really live and grow so tall. The vitality of this garlic seedling is really not small."

After all, he was ready to collect Suan Miao's corpse.

Zhen Youqin was a little skeptical about whether this thing could be eaten, and whether it would cause accidents, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that his wife would be angry, so he could only say euphemistically: "You don't know, last year, someone in our village put We ate uncooked potatoes that germinated and turned green, and all of them were poisoned and sent to the hospital, leaving only a small life.”

"If the doctor hadn't said that green sprouting potatoes should not be eaten, we wouldn't know?"

"Are you saying that this matter is unjust? But you still have to be careful with what you eat, right?"

"That's right, it's common sense!" Jia Haohao didn't realize the meaning of his words for a moment, and immediately reported to him: "Talk to your sister, if I didn't insist on it last time, they would put The sprouted potatoes were eaten."

"What's even more frustrating is that they don't think that what I said makes sense so they don't eat sprouted potatoes, but they think that those few potatoes can be saved and planted next spring."

After Jia complained well, he realized what he meant. He rushed over angrily and punched him with his fists: "Zhen Youqin, you don't believe me, do you think something will happen if you eat these? You are afraid of death, then Just don't eat it, and see if I will go to the West Paradise if I eat it..."

"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong." Zhen Youqin hurriedly covered her mouth with his hands, and said with a smile on his face, "It's the Chinese New Year, don't say those unlucky words, okay?"

Jia Haohao stared at him ferociously, hummed angrily, struggled, and his words became slurred: "You don't believe me!"

Only then did Zhen Youqin let go of her hand, bowed his head and kissed her on the lips, apologizing with the desire to survive: "It's because I don't know much, it's because I rarely see it, I believe you are right."

However, he has already decided that no matter how his wife wants to eat this strange thing, he will try it first to see if he can eat it.

Seeing that he obediently admitted his mistake, Jiahao hummed in satisfaction, popularized his knowledge, and showed off how much he knew by the way: "Garlic sprouts taste very good and have high nutritional value. Not only can they be grown in water, but they can also be planted in In the soil, it is very good to feed."

"And it can be planted all year round. When harvesting, cut off the yellow garlic, and the rest can continue to grow. Generally, three or four stubbles of garlic grown in hydroponics can be cut, but they can't see the light."

I regret it again: "It's a pity that I didn't think of it before, or there would be more dishes in this winter."

Hearing what she said so clearly, Zhen Youqin didn't seem to be doing it on a whim, but he became interested: "Then if the taste is very good, we can get more to sell. Now there are few fresh vegetables at this time, so we can Get a good price."

After pondering for a while, he continued: "If it can be sold well, we will dig another cellar and plant it specially, and find a few strict-minded companies in the village to let them plant it. We can sell it out, which will save trouble. You can also make more money.”

Jia Haohao looked at him with complicated eyes, thinking that he was really born to do business.

She just wanted to add garlic sprouts to the table in winter, and he had already thought of planting them on a large scale before reselling them.

Hey, I always thought I was very smart, how could the gap between him and him become so big?

After Zhen Youqin finished speaking, he found that his daughter-in-law was looking at him with watery eyes. She didn't know what it meant for a while, and asked cautiously: "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just think my man is too smart." Jiahao smiled at him, not forgetting to put gold on his face: "You and I thought of going together."

Zhen Youqin likes to hear his daughter-in-law praise him the most, the original shrewd calculations disappeared without a trace, and he put his arms around her and smirked: "Daughter-in-law, we have a good understanding!"

Jiahao rolled his eyes in his arms: It's your big hammer!

Seeing that the man was still reluctant to let go, Jiahao urged him: "Okay, let's go!"

Zhen Youqin felt that there was only herself and her here, and it was very warm. After hearing her words, she reluctantly let go of her and asked, "Don't you want to get some of this to taste?"

"Not now, it's too short, at least seven or eight days longer?" Jia Haohao has no experience, and he is still at the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, so he is not sure.
