On the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, for two consecutive days, Jiang Chen took Tang Wan, Tang Xiao and Ningrui back to the village at nightfall. When he woke up the next morning, the white outside the window was visible to the naked eye.
It was rare that Tang Wan did not disappear, and the bed became even warmer because of this.
Seeing Jiang Chen wake up, looking at her blankly, blushing, Tang Wan couldn't help but laugh. She moved her mouth to Jiang Chen's face and pecked her, and smiled: "Fool, okay, just sleep a little longer."
After saying that, he sat up, his long hair hanging down naturally, the warm fragrance overflowed, and the fullness under his autumn clothes was ready to come out.
Jiang Chen stared intently and said quietly: "Let's go together, it's still so early anyway."
Logan blushed again and spat: "Bah, you just think, I am afraid that you will sleep alone in my parents' room. What do you think?"
"oh."
Jiang Chen wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and laughed. Tang Wan didn't respond, but his face turned even redder.
It was during this short delay that Ning Rui bumped into her when she came out of the room.
"you?"
"you?"
Ning Rui was shocked on the spot, looking at Tang Wan who had not yet fully put on her clothes with a look of disbelief on her face.
At the same time, there was a touch of envy and a strong fire of gossip in my heart.
Tang Wan was also startled. When she came to her senses, she quickly put a finger in front of her lips: "Shh, where is Xiaoxiao? She hasn't woken up yet?"
"No." Ning Rui snickered: "Tell me, what is the situation? Is it still a girl?"
"Of course!" Tang Wan's pretty eyes widened, her face flushed, and she whispered: "Don't think nonsense, I just saw that he was in a bad mood, and I wanted to comfort him, nothing else."
"oh."
"Then you comforted me all night and warmed the bed all night, right?"
They are all adults.
There are some things that Ning Rui would never dare to say, but she is really not afraid of it.
Tang Wan felt guilty, so she let Tang Xiao listen. She quickly covered Ning Rui's mouth, pulled her aside, and warned: "Don't talk nonsense, there really is nothing. You also know that person. He sheds tears when he gets married."
, he is so stupid to say that he won’t have a daughter in the future, I can’t ignore him.”
It's just to cover up and find reasons.
But it was also true. Although he didn't shed tears, there was a time when Jiang Chen was really not in a good mood that day.
Logan didn't understand why this happened, even though she shed a lot of tears during that short moment that day.
Ning Rui thought for a while and smiled: "That's right. Brother Xiaochen is a bit silly sometimes. Okay, I won't say it, but you should be careful. If Xiaoxiao finds out, there will be trouble."
Tang Wan pursed her lips and wanted to be harsh, so what if she found out, but she didn't say it in the end.
It will be normal after that.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the sky was covered with heavy snow, and even the hand-pressed wells were frozen and icy.
After pouring some hot water in, melting the ice layer on top, you have to press it, and warm and steaming well water will come out from the bottom.
The two of them washed their faces and brushed their teeth with the well water.
After that, I put on my rubber boots, walked into the vegetable garden, pulled garlic seedlings, cut cabbage, pinched chrysanthemums, and made breakfast.
On the other side, Jiang Chen was lying on the bed, clearly unable to sleep and too lazy to do so.
Finally remembering it, Tang Xiao sneaked over, got under the quilt, stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "It's so cold, Brother Xiaochen is warm under the quilt."
Jiang Chen was startled, raised his hand and slapped her on the butt: "Get out of here, who asked you to come here, you are only wearing autumn clothes, go back, hurry up!"
"I don't!" Tang Xiao chuckled, and boldly hugged Jiang Chen, rubbing his little face: "Actually, my daughter is also very good. Look at me, how well-behaved and caring she is."
"You're not the problem either!" Jiang Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
Tang Xiao blinked: "But I will not leave you, never, right?"
Jiang Chen: "..."
After a while, he touched Tang Xiao's head: "Okay, I know you are good and sensible, okay, go back quickly, otherwise your sister will see that she should educate you!"
"Just educate, I'm not afraid." Tang Xiao stuck out his tongue, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
However, he quickly slipped away and took Jiang Chen's clothes with him.
Not long after, he came back dressed again and blinked, "Brother Xiaochen, get up, the sun is shining on your butt..."
A new day begins like this.
In fact, Jiang Chen was fine. He was just a little emotional at the time. It will be fine after that period.
Get up, gourd and gourd with a ladle of water, you take a sip and I take a sip. The two of them squatted by the well to brush their teeth and wash their faces. When they were done, Jiang Chen grabbed a stick of ice, which was locally called Ling hook, and took a bite. Click——
Natural ice, crunchy and crisp, then came to the kitchen.
The sow hadn't given birth yet, but she was about to give birth. Jiang Chen swept the pig pen and brought in new dry straw for her to make a nest.
Done, the rice is done, so I rolled up my sleeves, stewed the whole beef brisket in the hot pot, and had some wine. The four of us gathered around the small coal stove, drinking, eating, and serving dishes, not to mention how leisurely it was.
After dinner, the morning was almost over. Guns were not yet completely banned, so I borrowed a shotgun and took it out to hunt rabbits.
In the end, I didn't catch any. Instead, I saw someone else's sheep and spent money to get one.
I originally thought that we would only have mutton tonight, and instead of grilling skewers, we would have to have a hot pot to warm us up. When night fell, Zhang Hai brought a bag of sparrows that had been cleaned.
nice one.
Fry this thing in a pan, take it out, add some minced onions, ginger and garlic, make a dry pot, and drink some wine.
Then start preparing.
Zhang Hai decided to go to his mother-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year, so he didn't call.
For four people, stewed lotus root and stewed trotters are all essential dishes that need to be prepared in advance, especially stewed trotters. According to local customs, nothing can be missing.
I was busy until about ten o'clock at night, then I went to sleep, and the next day soon came.
Today is New Year's Eve.
The local custom includes New Year's breakfast and night vigil, so the firecrackers started crackling, banging, banging, banging early that day.
Logan got up very early, quietly.
Tang Xiao also rarely slept in. He got up early and got ready.
Needless to say, Ning Rui would not sleep in at someone else's house. To be honest, it would be unreasonable, and she was already used to getting up early.
Under such circumstances, even though Jiang Chen got up early, it was still a little late. When he got dressed and came out, the table in the main room had been set, the small hot pot had been lit, and the hoofs that had been stewed all night were simmering.
It's bubbling, and dark green chopped garlic sprouts are sprinkled on top, which looks quite attractive.
In addition to trotters, stewed lotus root with pig trotters, steamed Wuchang fish, shredded pork with celery, stewed beef with carrots...
Despite the small number of people, there was quite a lot of food, and there were also red wine, beer, small champagne, medical stones, and various other drinks.
When the food is ready, the lights are turned on, and according to custom, wine and drinks are poured, rice is served, kowtows are burned, incense is burnt, paper money is burned, and the deceased ancestors are invited to the table.
After finishing the work, a large firecracker with thousands of ringing lights was lit, and two more fireworks were lit. Jiang Chen took out the three big red envelopes he had prepared in advance.
