simple life

In a blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival.This year's Spring Festival has a particularly strong taste, because this year there is white snow to complement it.

Since Tang Guo was a little older, he hasn't seen much snow in winter, especially during the Spring Festival.After all, they were in the south, and it was already February during the Chinese New Year, so it was almost impossible to see snow.

At that time, when he and his mother went to the market to buy necessities for the New Year, they saw the little chubby baby in the New Year picture playing with firecrackers in the snow, lively and lively.He was immediately attracted by this kind of scene. It would be great when he could set off firecrackers in the snow during the Chinese New Year!

Later, when I watched TV, it was snowing heavily outside during the Chinese New Year in the north, which matched the red lanterns.Very nice.He had been dreaming of this scene in his heart.

This year, his wish was fulfilled.Although the reason behind it is not so beautiful...

The family began to prepare for the New Year a few days ago.The minced meat and tofu balls were also fried early, and everyone ate them deliciously.Although there is no tofu made from home-grown soybeans this year, this one is not bad.This is a board that Mama Tang asked the lady who sells tofu in the market to make for her.

Once the tofu is ready, Tang Guo and the others drive to pick it up. When they come back, they mash the tofu, mix it with minced meat and other condiments, knead it into small balls, and then fry them in a frying pan.It is delicious when eaten hot.

On New Year's Eve, they got up early.Tang's mother took over the command of the family, and she arranged people and things in the family.

You write couplets, I fry yams, he handles chickens, ducks, fish and geese... Everyone has their own things to do.

Everyone is very happy.For Tang's parents and Tang's mother, although they are celebrating the New Year in other places this year, they are at their son's house, and the surrounding environment is very good. The six young men are all gathered together, and it is very lively, even more lively than at home.

For Yan Ting and Lu Zhongze, this Spring Festival is of great significance.Because they have a lover to live with themselves, and they will no longer be alone in the future.

For Tang Guo and Tang Feng, they have an extra partner, and they are grateful that everything is beautiful.

Bai Li and Jiang Qi also had different experiences.This year, they not only have more parents, but also more brothers and friends.It was the first time they had such a lively year.

Potato and Dapang are also very excited, because last year they went to uncle's house with Yan's father to spend the new year.And this year, my father is here, my grandparents are here, and my uncles are here too.Everyone is preparing for the New Year, it's so lively!Most importantly, everyone treats them well, and everyone loves them.Everyone plays with them, don't have too much fun.

After noon, everyone began to post couplets and hang lanterns.After a while, the house became prosperous, and everyone was in a great mood.

This year's dishes are more abundant than before, after all, it is a New Year's Eve dinner for eight people.Yan Ting was in charge, Lu Zhongze and Jiang Qi were assistants, and Tang Guo and the others were outside picking vegetables, peeling beans and so on.

Not to mention, these delicate tasks require patience too much, such as peeling beans, this is not a problem of peeling one or two.Taking advantage of the large number of people, I have to peel off a large bag of beans I bought and put them in the refrigerator, so I don’t have to bother anymore.

Tang's mother has been cooking New Year's Eve dinner for so many years since she got married. It was the first time she was freed from it. She watched several young men discussing various dishes in full swing, and made everyone laugh with a joke from time to time. An indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Father Tang also needed help with various things in the past.But this year there is a lot of labor at home, and they don't need their old hands. After writing the couplets, they can take care of all kinds of flowers and plants in the yard with peace of mind.

Firecrackers were set off at night, and everyone began to eat.Yan Ting has never made a mistake in cooking, and every dish is delicious.Coupled with the fact that there were so many people eating together, it was the first time that everyone felt that this year's New Year's Eve dinner was very delicious, and the chopsticks couldn't stop.

At this moment, Yan Ting picked up a piece of pork belly with sauce for Tang Guo: "Eat and eat, I made it specially."

Tang Guo put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up: "En! This is delicious!" The sauced pork belly was blocked by other dishes, he hadn't seen it before.

Yan Ting laughed.

Tang's mother said with a smile: "Xiao Yan is too good at cooking. If anyone marries you in the future, he will be very happy."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, but it soon eased over.Tang Feng hurriedly said: "Mom, Yan Ting's braised fish is delicious, but I like your cooking better. I've been used to it for so many years. Make it for me tomorrow!"

Tang Ma's attention was diverted in an instant: "Okay, I'll make it for you in two days!"

After eating at nine o'clock, several people put down the bowls and chopsticks first, and moved out the fireworks they bought.Moving outside the yard, Yan Ting pulled out the fuse, ignited it, ran back into the yard and closed the gate.Then go over and stand side by side with everyone at the door to wait for the fireworks to bloom.

After a while, the fireworks began to rush out of the fireworks barrel, exploding beautiful and gorgeous fireworks in the night sky.

What they bought were the expensive ones with particularly large flowers.A few people stood in the yard, the deafening noise and the beautiful flowers set off each other, giving people a shock.

Tang Guo is very fond of fireworks, but he is afraid to watch them under the fireworks, especially when the explosion sounds, he always asks him to close his eyes quickly, for fear that the gunpowder of the fireworks will fall into his eyes.Want to see but dare not.

Yan Ting put on a pair of plain glasses for him at this time, without prescription.

Tang Guo glanced at him, and Yan Ting said, "You don't have to worry about anything falling into your eyes if you take this with you."

Tang Guo felt warm in his heart: "Thank you!" Then he watched the fireworks side by side with Yan Ting.After watching the fireworks, everyone went back to the house and started eating.

In fact, they have been eating for a long time, and they can't eat anything. They just pick up something with one chopstick but not the other.Then watch the Spring Festival Gala together.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, they went to set off fireworks and firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

After that, Tang's father and Tang's mother washed up and went back to the room.They don't have to follow the vigil, and there are so many people this year.

The rest of the people discussed it. Jiang Qi and Ali stayed until 02:30, Tang Feng and Lu Zhongze stayed until 04:30, and finally Yan Ting and Tang Guo stayed until their parents woke up in the morning.

Those who haven't reached the time can go to bed first, and just wait until the time comes to change shifts.So Tang Guo and the others went back to their room and went to bed first.

Tang's father and Tang's mother did not go to bed as soon as they returned to their room.

Tang Ma said, "Tell me, do they get too close?"

Father Tang: "They were friends before, but now they're a family again. It's so strange to be close."

"That's not what I'm talking about. Don't you think they're too boring? Xiaobao and Xiaoyan, Feng'er and Xiaolu, Xiaoqi and Ali..."

Father Tang thought for a moment: "It's really a bit..."

"Do you think they will..." Tang Ma thought of a possibility, and instantly covered her mouth.

Father Tang said in a low voice: "Don't think about it all day long, go to bed quickly! It's so late, I still have things to do tomorrow morning!" After finishing speaking, he fell asleep.

And here, Tang Guo and Yan Ting went back to their room and lay down.Tang Guo said: "Tell me, could my mother have discovered something? She said that just after you added food to me today. Is it a test?"

Yan Ting said: "What you said is really possible. Women's thoughts are more delicate, and the sixth sense is very accurate..."

Tang Guo's heart skipped a beat: "Then what shall we do?"

"Don't worry. We always have to be honest with them. From now on, let's get along as usual, don't be too deliberate, and don't just stay silent. Let them digest it slowly..."

Tang Guo grabbed the quilt tightly: "Yes!"

By the time they changed their shift at 04:30, Tang Guo had already fallen into a drowsy sleep.Yan Ting originally wanted him to sleep directly, and he could just keep watch, but Tang Guo disagreed.He picked up the quilt and went to the living room.

In fact, he was just lying on the sofa to prevent Yan Ting from watching the night alone.Yan Ting was also reluctant to let him sleep warm and soundly, and wake up from time to time to lighten the fragrance.The fragrance was basically exchanged by Yan Ting.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Tang's mother got up.It was still dark at this time, so Tang Ma asked them to go back to sleep with the quilts in their arms, and wait until lunch was ready before getting up.

Tang Ma washed and boiled the eggs first, and then started making dumplings.

The workload this year is not easy. There are eight people in the family, and six of them are young men who eat delicious food. They have to pack a lot to eat.Put the rest of the bag in the refrigerator, and cook it when you want to eat.

Tang's father also got up after a while, and came to follow Tang's mother's clumsy package.A few of them were still exposed.Tang's mother looked disgusted, but she still patiently taught him how to wrap it.People in the south don't eat noodles very much, they mainly eat rice, and they don't make this stuff a few times a year, especially because Father Tang doesn't cook much, so it's not normal.

When the dumplings were about to be cooked at noon, Tang's mother called a few people to get up.Freshen up and eat.

It was still the same as in previous years, as soon as they sat on the sofa, each of them was stuffed with a red egg by Tang's mother before they could eat dumplings.

Looking at the big pot of dumplings, Tang Feng said emotionally, "Mom, it's hard work to make so many dumplings early in the morning."

Tang Ma said with a smile: "I don't eat it a few times a year, what's the hard work. And this year your dad also helped me make it, and it will be very fast."

Tang Feng murmured: "No wonder there are a few of them revealing their secrets. This was not the case in previous years..."

Tang's father coughed from the side, with an unnatural expression on his face.

Tang Feng quickly said: "It's the same whether the stuffing is leaking or not, it's still eating. Thank you for your hard work, Dad!"

Father Tang's face paled slightly: "Okay, I think it's cooked and ready to eat."

Yan Ting brought the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, and Jiang Qitang asked them to bring the already hot dishes, and then everyone began to eat the first meal of the new year.
