Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Zhou Guilan hurriedly moved into the kang, made room for her grandson, and beckoned for Xu Haiyuan to sit beside her.

"Hurry up, take off your shoes and get on the kang, it's warm on the kang."

"Grandma, it's okay today, it's not too cold, and it's almost done on the train."

How could Xu Haiyuan really take off his shoes and get on the kang?So she sat next to Zhou Guilan on the edge of the Kang.

While talking, Xu Haiyuan took out the award certificate from his backpack.

"Grandpa, grandma, master, grandpa, grandma, this is my award certificate."

The certificate of the national competition must be different from that of the provincial competition. Whether it is printed or produced, it is more exquisite.

The certificate case of big red flannelette, with a few large characters in gold stamping on it, looks festive and majestic.

Xu Chenghou took turns holding the certificate to look at it, the joy is beyond words.

"Good boy, the eight generations of old Xu's ancestors have never had a child as promising as you.

If this is left in the past, is it considered a champion or something?Can you be an official? "

Holding the certificate, Xu Chenghou couldn't put it down, looked at it over and over again, and kept talking.

"Father, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Yuanyuan won a prize in a chemistry competition. If it was in the Qing Dynasty, it should be the eight-legged essay test.

However, our Yuanyuan's level is indeed high, and I feel that if we put it in ancient times, it would be quite powerful.

You will definitely be able to win the Jinshi, and if you don't have enough guarantees, you can still be granted the title of marquis and worship, then you will really honor your ancestors. "

Xu Shide was at the side, pondered for a while, and explained to his father.

"I don't care if it's eight-part or nine-part essay, I just know that it's enough for our family to be promising."

Xu Chenghou waved his hand, so he didn't bother to care about the text.

Anyway, he knew one thing, that in the old Xu family's life, there were children who were promising.

Xu Shiyan and the brothers looked at each other and smiled at each other. At this time, stop arguing with the old man and just say what you like.

"Yes, Dad is right, the children of our younger generation are all very promising.

You can see that Xiaobo is at the Agricultural University, Jinfeng is at the Banking University, and Xiaotao and Xiuxiu are next. I think they are all good.

Pingping, Jingwen, and Jingyi who are further down are also doing well in their studies.In the future, there will definitely be several college students coming out of our family. "

Xu Shiyan sat on the edge of the kang, looked at the nephews and nieces in the room, and said happily.

"Well, that's good. Your mother and I don't expect anything else in this life, but we hope that our old Xu's family will prosper and our descendants will be prosperous."

Xu Chenghou's eyes swept over the children and grandchildren, and he nodded in relief.

"Okay, old man, stop talking nonsense here.

The third child and the others just got home, so they must be hungry, let's eat quickly, and we'll chat after we finish eating. "

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and granddaughters had already packed up the food, Zhou Guilan quickly greeted everyone for dinner.

Xu Shiyan and the others ate in Hunjiang in the morning.

At this time, the car is too crowded, it would be nice to have a seat, where is there any time to eat?

It's already two o'clock, aren't you hungry?

Especially the smell of stewed meat and sauerkraut all over the room made me feel hungry.

In order to congratulate Xu Haiyuan for winning the prize, the family slaughtered a fat pig weighing nearly [-] catties today.

So this meal must be an authentic pig-killing dish.

Sauerkraut and white meat blood sausage, big bones in sauce, bone-deboned meat, pork heart, liver, and tongue platter, fried meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, pig ears mixed with cucumber, square meat dipped in garlic sauce.

Although there are only these few dishes, the servings are not small, and several of them are served directly on the basin.

Especially the Fangzi meat, all of which are streaky and three-layer skinned loin meat.

The palm-sized square meat is cooked in a pot and let cool, then cut into slices with a knife.

Mash the garlic cloves and put some soy sauce in it, which is what people in Northeast China often call garlic sauce.

The large piece of cooked meat is trembling, dipped in some garlic sauce, the meat is not greasy and the meat is full of fragrance, and it is safe to eat and still want to eat, and there is no way to stop.

Su Weizhong and his wife, Su Anfang, Su Anhua and others all came, and the three tables were full.

The five old people are all at this table on the kang, Xu Haiyuan is the protagonist today, so of course he is also on the kang.

Xu Shiyan and Su Anying, who had a good time with their son, were also at the same table on the kang.

The children of Su Anfang and Su Anhua's family were young, and it happened that Su Weizhong and Han Cai'e hugged each other and coaxed them to eat.

The 26th of the twelfth lunar month is only a few days away from the Chinese New Year.

Xu Shixian and the others all directly took a long vacation and came back, planning to go back after the new year here.

In the spring of this year, both Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang bought buildings in the county.

Living in this building is much more convenient than a one-story house. You can just lock the door, and you don't have to worry about burning the fire all day long.

Xu Shide's family lives in the public house of the Beigang Township Government, so there is no need to worry if someone is taking care of them anyway.

Brothers and I have discussed it, and all of them will stay and celebrate the new year with parents.

After all, Xu Chenghou and his wife are getting older and older, so spend more time with the elderly during the holidays, so as not to leave regrets in the future.

The children and grandchildren stayed to celebrate the New Year, and the happiest couple was Xu Chenghou and his wife.

This year, a pig was slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, plus Xu Shiyan's benefits from his work unit, and the things sent by brothers such as Guo Shouye, Yang Junxian, Huang Shengli, etc., the family didn't lack anything.

Since the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the old lady has led her daughter-in-law and granddaughters to prepare things for the New Year.

Pork in a big pot, pork knuckles in soy sauce, and stewed skin jelly.

In the morning, there are two large pots of noodles, and at noon, steamed jujube steamed buns, hair cakes, steamed buns and rolls with sugar triangles.

Zhou Guilan knows how to make good pasta, jujube steamed buns can be made in various designs, and can also make various steamed buns such as goldfish, hedgehog, and bunny.

Inside the sugar triangle, white sugar is mixed with walnut kernels, peanut kernels, and sesame seeds. It is fragrant and sweet after a bite.

Fat cake is fermented with rice flour and white flour, and sprinkled with chopped dates, honey beans, raisins, etc. inside.

The steamed hair cake is soft and sweet, not to mention how delicious it is.

Not only these, Zhou Guilan also brought out the prepared glutinous rice, zong leaves, candied dates, etc., and led the daughters-in-law to make zongzi.

Pronounced in the Northeast dialect, Zongzi is actually called Earn Zi. Zhou Guilan put money and dates in the Zongzi, which is called Zaoqian, which has a very good meaning.

After the staple food, fry up some snacks.

Put a large spoon on the stove, croquettes, dried fruits, crispy twists, collars, mushrooms, eggplant boxes, meat segments, etc.

Anyway, the smell in the kitchen has never been broken, causing the children to stand outside the kitchen one by one, staring at the delicious food inside.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Anfen and Ji Tongzhong, who were far away in Yangcheng, and Su Anzhen and Nan Zhendong, who were in the capital, all rushed back.

No one expected that on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin would also come back with their children.

The couple spent the New Year in Yangcheng last year, so they plan to come back this year.

However, Han Liwei was delayed for a few days because of something urgent, and he didn't get home until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

On New Year's Eve, the Xu family's side will be very lively.

Waking up early in the morning, Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao led his younger brothers to erect lantern poles, hang strings of lights, and post couplets with the word "God of Fortune" outside.

The boys are mischievous, they are doing their work, and they just light firecrackers and throw them away from time to time.

The firecrackers exploded, and the little ones clapped their hands happily and jumped up and down.

The girls were not idle either, sticking window grilles and helping with cooking in the house.

The reunion dinner at three o'clock in the afternoon, a large family of more than twenty people, the scene was not to mention how lively it was, Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were laughing from morning till night, unable to close their mouths.

In the evening, the women make dumplings, the men get together to laugh and chat, and the children have a lot of fun.

Xu Haibo led his younger brothers to find out the glass jar, wrapped it with wire, made a handle on it, and lifted it with a small stick.

Add nails to the small wooden blocks on which the candles sit and place them in the bottom of the jars to make a simple lantern.

A few young people held a lantern, and then they dressed neatly, covered themselves tightly, and went out to play with the lanterns.

Chapter 789 The Most Lively Year

There was a big red lantern hanging in the courtyard of the Xu family, and a [-]-watt light bulb was pulled into the lantern.

On the plastic sheds and garden poles, there are string lights of various colors.

It's Chinese New Year, all we need is this atmosphere.

Today's life is better, the electricity bill is not bad for these few days, and the happy day of family reunion is naturally as lively as it is.

With so many lights, the yard is very bright, even if the children don't play lanterns, it's fine.

But these children can't stay idle, so how could they just obediently play in the yard?

The children from the neighbors in the neighborhood came over and yelled, and these children went out in a large area, jumping and slipping all over the street.

Xu Haiyuan led his younger siblings and ran to Su's house for a tour.

Xu Jinping and Xu Jinhui planned to help grandma and grandpa make dumplings for a while.

Anyway, there are a lot of people in the family, so they are not bad for the two of them. If I have time, I just come to accompany my grandparents, so as to save them from being lonely.

When the old couple of the Su family saw their grandson and granddaughter coming, they were very happy, and brought out all the delicious food at home, and let the children eat whatever they wanted.

It's Chinese New Year, and every household has food, not to mention the Xu family.

Bought by the old couple, shared by Xu Shiyan, gifted by relatives and friends, brought back by Xu Shixian and others, there are many.

Apples, oranges, pears, etc. are directly placed in baskets and boxes in the outhouse, and the children can get what they want to eat by themselves.

But the children are still very face-saving, grab a handful of pine nuts, or eat a frozen pear with a bit of ice.

Su Weizhong grabbed several handfuls of candy and stuffed them into Xu Haiqing's coat pocket.

"Take it home and eat slowly. If your mother dislikes you, just tell her that I gave it to you."

Xu Haiqing secretly glanced at his brothers and sisters, then nodded towards his grandfather with a smile, and patted his coat pocket contentedly.

I was thinking in my heart, I will hide the candy when I get home, so that my mother can't find it.

Xu Jinping had already seen her little brother's tricks, but she just didn't bother to argue with him during the Chinese New Year.

"Grandma, let me help you make dumplings."

The two girls took off their coats, scarves and hats, went straight to wash their hands, and sat on the edge of the kang to help make dumplings.

Xu Jinping can roll out skins and make dumplings, but it's a quick job.

I saw her rolling the rolling pin in one hand and the dough in the other hand, but she didn't see how to roll it out, and the dumpling skins came out.

Not long after, there was a pile of dumpling wrappers in front of her.So I stopped the rolling pin and started making dumplings.

Northeast people like to make dumplings with bone spoons, which are usually ground from beef ribs and have a round front end, which is more convenient to use than chopsticks.

There was a dumpling wrapper spread out on Xu Jinping's left hand. With her right hand, she used a bone spoon to dig a lump of meat stuffing into the dumpling wrapper, and then grabbed and pinched it with both hands, and the dumpling came out.

Xu Haiqing ate a frozen pear over there, but his sister had rolled out the skin and wrapped it into a small half-covered curtain.

Although Xu Jinhui wasn't as quick as her sister, she was pretty good. The dumplings she made were small and delicate, and they looked pretty good.

"Our Pingping's work is really incredible. Among these girls, they are also top-notch."

Han Cai'e looked at the two granddaughters and smiled happily.

"Huihui is also very good. She is so big. She can cook and do everything. The dumplings are so beautiful."

With the help of Xu Jinping and sisters, the dumplings were naturally made much faster. After a while, the two curtains were full.

"Grandma, grandpa, let's go home first. After eating the dumplings later, we will be the first to come over to say New Year greetings to grandpa and grandpa."

It's almost ten o'clock, and the children are thinking about cooking dumplings and setting off firecrackers for a while at home.

Anyway, the dumplings are almost done, so I hurriedly told Su Weizhong and his wife, and ran home after dressing up.

The Su family is only a mile away from the Xu family. For these children, it takes no effort at all. They slid all the way, and they arrived home in a few minutes.
