On New Year's Eve, Su Jiao finished breakfast in the morning and started working on lunch.

The lunch on New Year's Eve will consist of braised pork ribs, chicken and fish from the New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year. Su's mother is not here, except for two people who can only help with lighting the fire and chopping vegetables. Su Jiao is the only one who is the main force. If she doesn't prepare early, she won't be able to make it. .

Su's mother will not come to her these days. The eldest brother Su and the third brother Su are at home. Su's father and mother Su cannot eat at her place during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, the backbones of the two brothers of the Su family will be ruined by the villagers. People poke and break.

The ribs and chicken were chopped and frozen by Ye Mingyuan before in an urn in the yard. They were so frozen that they were taken into the kitchen to thaw before going to bed last night.

It was almost gone in one night.

In the big iron pot at home, we stew the ribs first, then stew the chicken, then stew the cabbage with tofu, and put the three delicacies on the stove to warm on an enamel plate. Finally, stew a pair of large grass carp, and steam a piece of it on the pot fork. A bowl of rice with white flowers.

The stove at home is not idle either, and a casserole of mutton soup is simmering over low heat.

While the pork ribs and chicken were stewing, Su Jiao mixed the cabbage core shreds and jellyfish skin that Ye Mingyuan had cut into cold dishes.

When only the fish in the pot was left to stew for about half an hour, it was already eleven o'clock.

"Mingyuan, most of the children outside have gone home now. You can take advantage of the fact that there is no one on the street and deliver the dishes to Shuting and Grandpa Chen."

Su Jiao filled a large plate with each of the ribs, chicken and the fried meatballs from the past few days, put them into the basket, covered them with a cloth, and said to Ye Mingyuan who was lighting the fire.

"it is good."

Ye Mingyuan went back home and put on his coat, hat and gloves before going out.

Chen Shuting's parents sent another letter and money a few years ago. Su Jiao had already sent over the New Year's goods prepared for the cowshed a few days ago, and also sent a lot of frozen dumplings and steamed buns for the New Year.

There are many people during the Chinese New Year period, so Ye Mingyuan will be asked to deliver meat and vegetables again. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, their family will keep a distance from the cowshed.

This is probably the last year that the grandfather and grandson will suffer from grievance. Waiting for the second half of the year, they will start to be redressed one after another, and the two of them will not be able to stay in Xiangyang Village for long.

There was no need for anyone to keep an eye on the firewood burning in the stove, so Su Jiao asked Ye Yao to watch so that the firewood wouldn't fall out. She filled up a plate of ribs and a plate of chicken and went to give some to the Cheng Qingshan siblings.

These two siblings are not very good at cooking, so they can barely eat. It turns out that there was still hope when Cheng Lan was here. If Cheng Lan goes home, the two of them will suffer.

Some time ago, the village divided the meat, and Cheng Qingshan gave her a pound of ribs and a pound of pork.

He asked her to help him make two plates while he was cooking a big pot of food on New Year's Day.

After all, it’s the Chinese New Year, so you have to be kind to your stomach.

As for Su's father and Su's mother, Su Jiao will not go there to deliver it. Su's father and Su's mother have no shortage of meat in their stomachs this year. They have been eating with the eldest brother Su and the third brother Su's family for the past two days. The two brothers of the Su family have also divided the meat this year. I asked for a lot, so there was no need for her to give it away.

Su Jiao carried the basket to the door of Cheng Qingshan's house, and bumped into Cheng Qingshan who was about to go out.

Behind Cheng Qingshan was a tall man wearing a military coat. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face looked somewhat similar to Cheng Qingshan and Cheng Yuanshan.

Su Jiao knew about it. She heard Cheng Qingshan say a few days ago that she had sent a telegram to her brother, who was a soldier in the army, and wanted to ask if her brother could take leave to spend the New Year with her and his brother.

However, there was no reply since she sent the telegram. Cheng Qingshan felt a little disappointed, saying that maybe her brother was on a mission and had no time.

Unexpectedly, I came directly without replying to the telegram.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here? We are about to go to your house. Let me introduce you formally. This is my eldest brother Cheng Linhai. He is a soldier. He took leave this year and came to celebrate the New Year with me and Yuan Shan. , I didn’t reply before, I really thought he wouldn’t come, but I didn’t expect him to come directly this morning, which shocked me and Yuanshan.”

"Brother, this is what I just told you, my good friend Su Jiao."

Cheng Qingshan grabbed Cheng Linhai's arm and introduced him, with excitement in his tone.

"Hello, Comrade Su, thank you for taking care of my little sister."

Cheng Linhai smiled and patted Cheng Qingshan's hand, walked two steps forward to Su Jiao, and shook hands with Su Jiao.

Su Jiao smiled and stretched out her hand to shake her hand, "Brother Cheng, you're welcome, just call me Su Jiao. Qingshan and Yuanshan and I are friends, and we should help each other."

"Jiaojiao, are you here to deliver the meat dishes you cooked for me? My brother and I are just about to go find you. My brother has prepared a New Year's gift. I've finished delivering Xiaoqin's and I'm about to give it to you. I’m going to get some meat by the way..."

After watching the two of them say hello, Cheng Qingshan looked at the basket in Su Jiao's hand and chirped like a little magpie. While talking, he pointed at the cloth bag in Cheng Linhai's hand.

Cheng Yuanshan, who was in the house, also saw the three of them standing at the door without moving, and joined the camp with a smile.

"Sister Jiaojiao, my brother is amazing..."

Su Jiao couldn't even get a word in, she smiled and nodded. She had never seen them so excited before.

"Okay Shanshan, Xiaoshan, it's too cold outside, let's go back to the house to talk."

Cheng Linhai looked at Cheng Qingshan and Cheng Yuanshan, their excitement still not over. They were standing at the door and talking about getting dark. He almost praised him to the sky and nothing on the earth, and he quickly said with some embarrassment. Something went wrong.

"Yes, yes, come on, Jiaojiao, let's go into the house and talk."

Su Jiao was still stewing fish at home, so she stayed with Cheng Qingshan for 20 minutes, and listened to the two siblings praising Cheng Lin Hai for 20 minutes.

Finally, when she returned home with the New Year's goods given by Cheng Linhai, she felt like she was hearing hallucinations, as if she could still hear the voices of Cheng's siblings.

Ye Mingyuan has also arrived home and is sitting in the kitchen watching the fire.

Su Jiao put the empty bowl and the New Year's gift basket on the ground, opened the lid of the pot and took a look. The juice was almost gone, and she took out the fish on a plate.

Ye Mingyuan looked at the basket on the ground and saw clearly the contents. There were cans, White Rabbit toffees, and two fresh dried pork sausages.

"Daughter-in-law, I heard from Yaoyao that you went to become an educated youth. Where did these things come from?"

Su Jiao held the fish and said without raising her head: "Oh, the soldier in Qingshan came this morning. This is the New Year gift he brought us. Mingyuan, take out everything in the basket." Well, those two meat sausages are raw and have to be steamed. You can take them to the yard and freeze them first. The pork ribs at home are enough for a few days."

"I know." Ye Mingyuan stood up immediately, washed the dishes and packed things obediently.
