When I trimmed the rooster's feathers, I started on my own steps.

In fact, in the courtyard, everyone puts a lot of thought into the dishes for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

The aroma of meat will only waft out after a few days.

After all, most of the things that need to be purchased now require tickets.

In order to have a richer meal on New Year's Eve, many people have saved up meat tickets for several months.

"Hmm~"

smell good!

Even though it was so cold, it couldn't stop the children from coming over because of the fragrance.

They kept sniffing and lingering in the front yard.

From time to time, I would glance at Yang Hehua's house.

Even if you're freezing and your nose is running, you can just wipe it with your sleeve.

Xiao Qian was blown hard by the cold wind. After shivering, she just buried her head in the work in her hands. Although the children in the yard looked pitiful, it was not something she could decide.

After all, she doesn't belong to any of these children.

Xiuxiu and Manman were looking at the biting cold wind outside and the snowflakes falling to the ground in large flakes. Even if they wanted to play in the snow, the various aromas in the kitchen made their mouths water. They wanted to have a taste of them all, so they didn't even think about playing.

As for Xiaobao, Yang Hehua was afraid that he would run around and might bump into the stove as he was too small, so she simply carried him on her back in a sling. From time to time, he would be smoked by the heat and would say a few words of "ababa" before nothing else.

Of course, Yang Hehua would give the three greedy children a few meatballs or a piece of braised pork from time to time, and she would also take a few bites from time to time, squinting her eyes with satisfaction.

Then they started frying the crispy fish and crispy meat. Both of them are very delicious whether you eat them as they are right after frying, or process them a little more to make dishes like sauerkraut fish or crispy cabbage and pork soup.

Yang Hehua was doing a great job, but the Yan family next door to her had a lot to say about it.

Second Aunt Yang Ruihua was cooking chicken while talking about the aroma coming from the opposite door all day long. Yan Bugui was concentrating on writing the couplets, and now he was reading the newspaper very seriously by the stove, looking up from time to time to respond.

As for the four siblings Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi, they lay on the glass and looked at the opposite side.

In the middle courtyard of the Jia family, Qin Huairu, who had smelled the fragrance for almost a day, was stewing a rooster that Jia Dongxu brought back in the afternoon after killing it. She turned her head to look at her husband who was lying on the kang, crossing his legs and humming a little tune from time to time, and a feeling of discomfort surged in her heart.

So many days have passed. I wonder how Banggeng is doing in the juvenile detention center.

Damn Su Qinmi, if it weren’t for her, Banggeng wouldn’t even be able to spend New Year’s Eve at home.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's tears suddenly came out. She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves while crying.

Wait!

Sooner or later, Su Qinmi and Sha Zhu will have to pay the price!

Because Su Qinmi married He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu thought that they were husband and wife and hated them both!

He Yuzhu, who had already cooked the chicken at home, had no idea that Qin Huairu had already hated them both. He was now chopping the meat and preparing to make dumplings after dinner.

He Yushui was kneading the dough while breathing heavily.

Su Qinmi was eating melon seeds, sitting by the stove with her legs crossed, watching the two of them work.

----backyard----

Xu Damao and his wife have already finished preparing for dinner.

Xiaoling's belly was already very big, and her movements were slow. With the help of Xu Damao, she finally sat down. As soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she said, "Da Mao, do you feel that the courtyard has been a little quiet these past two days?"

"An Jing?" Xu Damao had just put a piece of mushroom fried meat into his mouth with chopsticks. "Everyone has been busy preparing for the New Year recently, so An Jing is not very quiet. Besides, who would do something before the New Year? "

Seeing that her husband Xu Damao didn't understand what she meant, Xiaoling didn't look anxious. She took a steamed bun, took a bite, chewed it carefully, and then said, "I'm talking about the uncle's family. Usually, their family is in chaos when it's time to eat. Since the wedding banquet of Sha Zhu in the Central Courtyard, the uncle's family has been much quieter!"

When Xu Damao heard the word "uncle", he couldn't help rolling his eyes!

When there were three uncles in charge of this courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong especially loved to make trouble for Xu Damao!

Ever since Yi Zhonghai stepped down, the former second uncle Liu Haizhong was promoted to the first uncle, and he started to show off his power in their backyard from time to time. Moreover, this ignorant man would always stop to lecture him, Xu Damao, whenever he met him.

It's so annoying.

However, ever since the deaf old lady had dinner at Uncle Liu Haizhong's house, the old man no longer had the time to preach.

When Xu Damao heard his wife Xiaoling talk about this, he couldn't help but recall it.

It seems that this is really the case!

Xu Damao slapped his thigh fiercely and asked Xiaoling in a low voice: "Wife, do you know the inside story of this matter?"

"In fact, I don't know the inside story, but I know a little bit. A few days ago, I saw the deaf old lady next door go to an old man's house for dinner. Later, it snowed heavily and I haven't seen her since then."

"But sometimes when I go out for some fresh air, I see an old lady carrying food to the deaf old lady's house. When she saw me, she smiled and explained that the deaf old lady asked them to deliver the food because it was cold!" Xiaoling talked about what she saw and heard in the past few days.

When Xu Damao heard this reason, he looked very disappointed. He thought it was some news.

Glancing at the snow still falling outside the window, Xu Damao understood.

Xu Damao has lived in this courtyard for twenty years. The deaf old lady is a person who knows how to enjoy life very much, so he knows a little about it.

In the past, when the deaf old lady ate at that old man Yi Zhonghai's house, it was Yi Zhonghai's ex-wife who brought her meals every day.

If the deaf old lady had not suffered a loss in food at Liu Haizhong's house, how could she have caused unrest in the Liu family before.

Could it be that the uncle and aunt had a change of heart these days and prepared better food for the old deaf lady, so she stopped making trouble! ?

Xu Damao recalled that in previous years, whenever the neighbors in the courtyard prepared New Year's dishes, the deaf old lady would come to their house and sit for a while, regardless of whether it was windy, rainy or snowy, and would not leave until she had eaten. So he asked, "Hey, wife, the neighbors in the courtyard have been preparing New Year's dishes these days. Have you seen the deaf old lady go out?"

Xiaoling basically stayed at home because she was pregnant, and even chores like buying groceries were done by Xu Damao. Naturally, she had the most free time at home.

Xiaoling looked confused for a while, then thought about it and shook her head: "No."

After hearing this, Xu Damao understood everything completely. With a smile on his face, no matter how Xiaoling asked him, he didn't reveal it at all. He was happily eating the steamed buns with two-grain flour and stir-fried meat with mushroom slices.

(I have something to do these days!)
