Li Ming's team didn't finish working on the new house next door until early December.Although the weather was cold at this time, before it was cold enough to snow, a group of people excitedly ran to Miao He's house to build a fence.

At this time, Miao He and Yang Dalang had more than 40 taels of silver on hand. Although they bought a donkey cart and dug a well, they sold sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and added money for vegetables.I didn't want Li Ming to spend too much money, so I only asked them to give the wall of the gate, and Miao He and the others paid for the other three sides.

And as long as there are bricks, there is no need to use blue bricks this time, and the speed of building walls is very fast.After a few days of busy work, Miao He's house has a beautiful and magnificent gate and wall, replacing the original overcoming fence nailed with wooden boards.The original doorbell on the gate was also designed according to the same design, and a more beautiful and louder one was made.

During the construction period, due to Miao He's mobility difficulties, Yang Dalang prepared all the meals.And this season, of course, is to eat pot, simple and delicious!When the sauerkraut pot was served for the first time, everyone's eyes lit up.Holding the rice, pour a spoonful of sour and fragrant sauerkraut soup, together with the soft boiled cabbage and bean skin, and crisp shredded sour cabbage, ah... so there is such a delicious food in the world...

Besides, the tofu skin is also related to the recipe sold by the stall outside.After a turmoil, there are many people selling bean curd and bean curd in the town, and making it at home will not attract suspicion.Miao He remembered that bean curds go well with sauerkraut pot, so he used soybeans grown in the soil to let Yang Dalang prepare a large box of soft, tender and pure bean curds!

The men in the food team are all fascinated, and they order directly after this meal, which means that it will be good to return this kind of pot tomorrow! !

Miao He was also holding a bowl of white rice with sauerkraut, and was happily grilling the rice. "I see. Tomorrow Dalang is planning to make spicy pot."

"Ma, spicy pot?" Someone sucked in their saliva.You've just had enough, why are you a little hungry again?

"Hehehehe, of course it's up to the customer! We can eat whatever Brother He cooks!! You people, why are you talking so much!?"

"That's right, that's right!! It's us who talk too much, talk too much!! Don't pay attention to it!! Mala pot is good, just Mala pot!"

Miao He smiled wide-eyed.

He begged for this spicy pot for a long time and promised not to eat too much, so Yang Dalang was willing to get it.

Afterwards, apart from the fence, Yang Dalang spent a few more taels of silver to build an extra row of long houses near the back mountain, which can be used as warehouses and guest rooms.In the future, people will be invited to come and work, and there will be houses for people to use.Not to mention, the construction team has been sleeping in the cellar for the past few days. Although it is warm, it is really aggrieved.

In any case, when the work team returned happily, Miao He's home was almost fully equipped with hardware.There are cars and wells, walls and guest rooms, chicken coops, sheep coops and even donkey coops.At this time, there were more than 30 taels of silver left on hand.

Miao He, who was chubby in clothes, held the money urn, "Where is the rest of the money? Just save it."

Yang Dalang touched the man's head, but said, "The south side has been bought, I think, slowly buy the north side as well."

"I don't know if the fruit will really sell after it is planted, and will it expand?" Miao He was a little surprised by Yang Dalang's bold investment.

"Buy the land and save it, don't buy it yet. The tax is also low, so it's not a loss." Yang Dalang said.

Furthermore, according to the news from the work team, the nobles who came next door seemed to have discovered their orchard, and built a viewing tower for this.Yang Dalang intuitively felt that if others would care about this, then someone might buy the land next door in the future.It's better to buy it yourself when no one wants it, and it will be convenient for you to use it in the future.

Take one step, see three steps.Yang Dalang tried his best to use what he had learned during this time.

Thinking about leaving the money at home without earning interest, and worrying about being robbed or stolen, Miao He nodded. "Okay then, just ask."

Only then did I feel that more than 30 taels should be due to the limited range of purchases, but I didn't know that within a few days, the dividends of the teahouse at the end of the year were distributed.And even if it was only half a year's worth, Yang Dalang brought back more than 300 taels of silver!

"More than 300 taels!?" Miao He was a little dizzy when he heard it.I feel that I can't make as much money as I can by selling ice.Knowing this, why are they working so hard? !Just lie down and collect money!

But these are not irrelevant to Miao He's efforts.It is true that the ice sold is very profitable, but the restaurant also has Miao He and the others' delicious dishes and cakes for them, which makes the revenue so bright.

Yang Dalang touched his younger brother's flushed cheeks with excitement, "It's just right, there are more than 200 taels on the mountain, and the remaining 100 taels are pocket money."

"Hey, okay! From now on we will be the landlord class." Miao He was delighted.

Seeing people like this, a smile flashed across Yang Dalang's eyes.I couldn't help bowing my head and kissing, hugged and touched people's now round belly. "Are you still playing today?"

Miao He moved and nestled into the person's arms more firmly, "I haven't stopped for a day. He must be a naughty one."

Just as he was speaking, Yang Dalang's palm visibly moved again.

Miao He let out a soft hey.Yang Dalang patted lightly, "Good boy. Don't kick."

So... the kicking inside became even more exciting, and small movements came out again.

The old god Miao He was stroking Yang Dalang's hand, "Let him kick, I don't feel at ease if I don't kick him."

At first, Miao He really couldn't imagine what he looked like with a big belly.But when things came to an end, I got used to this state naturally.The embarrassment and discomfort that I still had in the past are long gone.Now I just want to see the naughty kid inside sooner, so that I can teach others how to behave.

Hearing this, Yang Dalang skillfully changed the posture of Yuanyuan's little brother, and slowly rubbed his waist with the other hand.The old doctor Ji said that backache is unavoidable if you have a big belly, and rubbing it more can make people feel more comfortable.

Seeing that the little brother had to carry such a big belly, Yang Dalang felt reluctant, but he couldn't help, he just wished he could help with everything.It's not that they didn't discuss the matter of buying a few servants from outside to go home to help, but there are more outsiders living together, and they have to beware of Xi Rang's secrets. Think about it, only the family members are more comfortable.

like now.

There was a gust of cold wind outside, the room was dizzy from the flames of the oil lamp, the charcoal stove was quietly burning in the corner, the little brother was snuggling in his arms, the black cat was yawning on the cat climbing frame, and the four big The dog was lying by the door of the main room, flicking its tail.

The little brother almost narrowed his eyes, "It's comfortable."

"Sleep for a while."

"But I only slept in the afternoon..." the little brother muttered.

"Sleep if you want to sleep."

"Well, then, let's sleep again..."

"kindness."

Days like this are precious.

In mid-December, flakes of snow make the whole world silvery.

Miaoshui Village, which had already started nesting, became lively again.Because it's New Year's Eve.

For a while, Miao Afang, a pig raiser, wanted to kill the pigs, and for a while, the New Year's Market in the town opened.Miao He regretfully missed it.With his big belly, Yang Dalang would frown deeply as long as he walked near the door of his house.

At this time, the second aunt went to his house a few more times to remind him.Now Yang Dalang is no longer a bachelor, and the young couple is passing the New Year for the first time, and some festival customs must be taught, so as not to be laughed at by others.

So sweet rice cakes were made, door god pictures and Spring Festival couplets were bought, new clothes were cut out, and caramel for worshiping the kitchen god was also available. The fish for the New Year’s Eve dinner should not be forgotten, and there are some preserved fruits and nuts fried twists. When the home is in the spring, you have to bring some to the door.The etiquette is not serious, just to make it lively.

On New Year's Eve, Yang Dalang posted Spring Festival couplets at noon, and different aromas came from the kitchen one after another in the afternoon.Croquettes, deep-fried fish, ribs with sauerkraut, stewed chicken soup, braised pork, steamed buns, and of course chopped cabbage dumpling stuffing, I have to make dumplings at night.Dabai and Mao Mao are very busy, whenever they smell something new, they come to see if there is something new to eat.

The chef is Yang Dalang, but with the support of excellent ingredients, the taste is not bad.And Miao He stayed on a chair nearby, occasionally helping to chop vegetables and doing activities.Chatting and busying all the way until the evening, a whole table of sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.

Hot dishes filled the low tables in the main room.

Sitting in the warm room, first drink the chicken soup served by Yang Dalang, then take a big fat steamed bun, remove it, pick up a piece of marinated fat, soft and sweet braised pork, get some cucumber shreds, peanut powder, and bite down!Miao He's eyes narrowed immediately, "Mmm, it's delicious!"

Yang Dalang softened his eyes, "Eat more if it tastes good."

Miao Heenen nodded, "I'm sure I can eat two, no, three servings today. Hurry up, don't let me eat it all!"

But looking at the little brother with bulging cheeks, Yang Dalang was satisfied from the bottom of his heart, and took another piece of fish.

"Eat fish." Looking forward to having more every year, looking forward to being like this every year.

"En!"

"ball."

"En!"

"Ribs."

"Thank you!"

"Steamed buns, or rice?"

"meal!"

Unknowingly, the New Year's Eve dinner has also become a feeding event.

The Miao He that I ate had to hold my stomach in circles in the main room to digest food later.

"You should remind me, don't eat so much!! I will eat dumplings later!"

"No. You can eat it."

"..." Why do you want to hit someone a little bit?

-

On the next day, I started walking in the spring, because the road was snowy and might be slippery, so Yang Dalang only asked Miao He to go to two places, and ran the rest by himself.These two places are, of course, the second aunt's house and Yuanshen's mother's house.

The second aunt's house that I went to first gave dried black dates grown in the interest soil, and gave red envelopes to the two little nephews.Later, I heard from my second aunt Xi Zizi that the master Li in the town really came to order furniture later, and he ordered quite a few!Yang Datong has never been so busy, and now he even has to consider recruiting more people.

Miao He was also happy to hear that, after all, he was considered an original.However, Yang Dalang told Yang Datong that he should come to him to discuss the matter of the carpentry workshop in detail, and his feelings are to seriously consider helping Datong expand the scale.That's right, the place where Yang Datong works now is to set aside a piece of land in the backyard as a workshop.The noise on weekdays makes it difficult for children who are often disturbed to sleep, but there is no way, this is the most economical way.

After that, I went to Yuanshen's mother's house, in the second day of junior high school.

Because of the bride price incident, the New Year's greetings were weird from the very beginning.

Seeing Miao He's big belly, Grandma Miao He still makes people kneel down when they should, and pay New Year's greetings when they should.Fortunately, Miao He's body is really well-raised, and he is only panting after a series of movements.Yang Dalang couldn't say anything, the custom is like this, but he left a bad impression of this cold and heartless elder in his heart.

As for Zhang Mian, she received a lot of warnings from the village head.The village chief warned severely that if his family went to find Yang Dalang again, no matter what the reason was, people would think that they were determined to ask for another bride price!What impact will this matter have and who will it affect? ​​Let her think about the marriage of her family Miao Yu (Zhang Mian's youngest son).

So Zhang Mian put on a bad face the whole time but didn't say a word, and Li Zhaodi, she is now a sinner in the family, let alone speak.Even the gift from Yang Dalang was not accepted by her.The two parties had nothing to say early on, so Yang Dalang took his leave without staying for lunch.

In the other days, Yang Dalang continued to pay New Year's greetings to other homes.

When he came to Aunt Qing's house, Miao Qiang happened to be away.Yang Dalang delivered the gift, and planned to leave after sitting down.After thinking about it, Aunt Qing sent Yang Dalang out for a walk.On that occasion just now, there were other relatives from Miao Qiang's father's family, so it was inconvenient to say some things.

This statement was heard by Miao Qiang who was returning home from the other end.

It's so hard to die, what he heard was the order his aunt mentioned.

... Avoid a wife and children, and live alone for the rest of your life? !

After Miao Qiang hiding behind the tree's face changed repeatedly, the first thing that surfaced was a trace of relaxation.
