(first update)

On Laba day, we drink Laba porridge.

After all, this was the first time she and Lu Yujing celebrated the New Year together in their first year of marriage.

The two of them have talked about it now and plan to live a good life. Yu Ran feels that this year will have a sense of ritual.

Even if they don't return to the capital, the two of them will spend this year unforgettable!

Yu Ran is full of confidence.

When I got up in the morning, I took out the red beans, mung beans and peanuts that I had soaked all night yesterday, washed them and put them in the pot. I washed a lot of rice and put them in. I also grabbed a few handfuls of glutinous rice and put them in. This will make the porridge stickier.

thick.

These are all the New Year's goods she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative these days.

I also put longan and red dates in the porridge, and even put a few dried candied dates in it.

The ingredients are very rich, and you can definitely cook a good Laba porridge.

It was so cold today that Yu Ran didn't even bother to be lazy, and even pulled Lu Yujing out of bed early.

At this moment, Lu Yujing saw her busy, sitting by the stove and lighting the fire, "You made so much, can we finish it?"

This big iron pot was so big, she made more than half of it.

"If you can't finish it today, just save it for tomorrow. Besides, if Yang Yang and the others come to play, I can give them some drinks."

After Yu Ran finished making the Laba porridge, he took out a plate of pickled garlic from the vat, which was also considered Laba garlic.

When the porridge is ready, drink some porridge and eat garlic. It tastes pretty good too.

Just after breakfast, the porridge in the pot was still scalding, when Yang Hong and Wang Wenxin rushed to the door with their children.

Yu Ran put down the bowl and glanced at Lu Yujing proudly. What did she say? There will definitely be children coming later.

Lu Yujing smiled and consciously took her bowl over to wash it.

"Sister, sister-in-law, you are here. I will make Laba porridge in a moment. Can I give you some to try?"

"No, we just drank at home." Yang Hong refused.

"It's okay. Laba porridge is just a taste, and it doesn't take up much space in your stomach." Yu Ran planned to serve it to them.

"That's okay, don't serve too much, we won't be able to drink much," Wang Wenxin said.

Yu Ran filled two large bowls and gave each of them a bowl. He originally wanted to serve more to the children, but they didn't want it.

"Let's drink a little to taste, and give the rest to each of the children to take a few sips. There's no need to fill it up, as it won't be finished." Yang Hong said, taking a sip, her eyes lit up.

"The porridge you cook is really delicious." It's fragrant, mellow, and sweet.

Yu Ran smiled, "I put a lot of things."

Isn't it, a full bowl with everything put in it, it tastes much better than what they cook.

Yang Hong and Wang Wenxin only tasted a sip, and gave the rest to the children.

Yang Hong asked Da Wa and the others to play with Da Ya, and took out a few salted duck eggs from the cloth bag to Yu Ran, "You are busy every day and don't have time to salt them, so I'll give you a few to eat during the New Year."

She exchanged these duck eggs with farmers.

Yu Ran did not refuse and thanked with a smile, "Thank you, sister."

Wang Wenxin on the other side saw that Yang Hong had given them, and took out several preserved eggs from his bag, "I'll give you some too, so you can still buy more when the time comes."

Yu Ran is busier than them every day and can't spare much time for pickling.

"Okay, I won't be polite then, keep them all, and when I make some delicious food, I will send you some to try."

Yu Ran took it with a smile and put it in the kitchen.

"If it's ready, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative. This should be the last time it opens before the end of the year. The next one won't open until after the fifth day of the first lunar month." Yang Hong suggested.

"Okay, let's go together and take the kids with us?" Yu Ran looked at the children who were having fun in the yard after drinking Laba porridge.

Wang Wenxin looked at the naughty children with some disgust and said, "It's better not to take them with you. It's probably a lot of trouble to take them shopping with them."

Chen Yangyang had sharp ears. When his mother said this, he stopped playing and immediately retorted, "We are going, and we have to buy firecrackers and fireworks!"

His roar attracted the attention of Da Wa and the others, "We also want to buy fireworks, and we want to set off cannons!"

Yu Ran looked at the children who were in a hurry and worried that adults would not take them to buy them, so she covered her mouth and laughed.

Yang Hong glanced at Da Wa, "Why don't you hurry up if you want to go? We are leaving now. If we can't catch up, we won't take you with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, several children quickly dusted themselves off and stopped playing.

Wang Wenxin and Yang Hong just played with their children. If they really didn't want to take their children, they wouldn't have brought them here early in the morning.

In this era, unlike modern times, fireworks and firecrackers were prohibited.

The fun of Da Wa and his friends is to save a lot of firecrackers so that they can set them off non-stop on New Year's Day.

Yu Ran was afraid that Lu Yujing would be bored staying at home alone, so she asked him if he would go.

Lu Yujing waved his hand, what if he, a grown man, followed these girls out?

"It's okay, you go ahead, I'll clean up the house at home."

A few days before the Chinese New Year, it is customary to clean the home, no matter whether it is dirty or not. It means sweeping away bad luck and welcoming the new year.

Yu Ran smiled, "Okay, thank you for the hard work."

A few people were walking and chatting, and children were playing around.

"My man has been in much better health these days. He stared at those who were training and wanted to spar. I was so angry that I gave him a lesson." Yang Hong said about her man with a smile on her face.

"That's probably because he's not used to being idle all of a sudden." Yu Ran said with a smile.

I am also happy for Yang Hong.

Zhang Tiezhu checked some time ago and found that he is recovering well from his injuries. He will be able to return to the army after he recovers in a while.

And this time, the superiors were thinking of his merits and planned to record his merits. When his merits are accumulated to a certain level and his age reaches a certain level, he can be promoted to a higher level.

Huo Aiguo, on the other hand, received neither praise nor criticism for this mission. Most likely, half of Zhang Tiezhu's injuries were caused by his mistakes.

It can be regarded as equalizing the merits and demerits.

"Seriously, Yu Ran, I really thank you this time. Last time I checked, I was afraid that the doctor would say that my man would never be able to serve as a soldier. That would probably be more uncomfortable than killing him." Yang Hong said, her eyes widening.

Still a little red.

It was really hard some time ago.

Just rely on the breath in my heart to hold on.

Zhang Tiezhu also reassured her that she was fine. At worst, she would be discharged from the army and return home to farm, which would be a contribution to the country.

But Yang Hong knew that her man had deep feelings for the army, and it would definitely be uncomfortable if he suddenly retired from the army.

Several times, she saw men looking at her legs lonely, but he never showed it in front of her.

Fortunately, it recovered well during the last inspection.

"Sister, how many times have you thanked me? Are you still polite to me?" Yu Ran smiled.

But I was guessing in my heart that in the original work, Huo Aiguo was promoted one after another with almost no rivals. Is it because of Zhang Tiezhu's accident this time?

After all, in the army, Lu Yujing could say that Huo Aiguo and Zhang Tiezhu were almost equally matched in strength.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you." Yang Hong smiled, but she thought in her heart that Yu Ran was her benefactor in this life. If Yu Ran is useful to her in the future, she will try her best to help as long as she can.
