It's enough to be beautiful [farming]

??The person waiting here is the owner of the peach grove.

?? A very serious middle-aged man, wearing very simple clothes, holding a pair of scissors.

"You two go over there." Uncle Zheng said.

?? Li Yuan and Qi Changqing stepped forward together.

??The middle-aged man glanced at Li Yuan with a smile in his eyes. He took scissors and cut a small handful of peach branches and handed them over. Qi Changqing stepped forward and cut an even smaller handful of peach branches.

?? If there are any juniors in the back, they will go forward and wait for the peach branches. If there are those with their own juniors, they will send the juniors over.

??Young children bounced forward, and juniors like Li Yuan and Qi Changqing seemed a little older.

?? Uncle Zheng waited at a distance, Li Yuan went to meet him holding the peach branch, and then walked back along the path.

?? It was also at this time that Li Yuan knew where the peach branches in the hands of every household in the village came from.

?? He was curious before. When it comes to Chinese New Year, every household seems to have peach branches, but there are not many peach trees in the village.

?? He didn't know that there was a large peach forest just across the mountain, but it was still managed by a special person, and he didn't know that going to the grave, coming down from the mountain, and taking another road directly led to the peach forest. The owner of the forest will take the initiative to send peach branches.

?? It happened to be two peach branches. Li Yuan took it to Uncle Zheng and put it down, and Qi Changqing took it back to the big house and put it down.

"I have to save this for the night of the New Year's Eve, put it at the door, and then sprinkle it with grains to ward off evil spirits." Xu Jinmian put his hands in his hands and looked very understanding, "Your grandma is getting old. It’s not convenient to go to the grave, what did you do with the peach branches?”

?? "My dad sent some from home." Li Yuan said.

?? Uncle Zheng went to Grandpa and Grandma’s place for a walk almost every day. He helped out with some manual work, such as shopping for new year’s goods, and the peach branch was no exception.

"I have to go see grandma." Li Yuan suddenly remembered Li Buqun's grandma.

"Go." Xu Jinmian nodded.

?? On Xiaonian, the tradition in Kaoshan Village is to eat dumplings at home, and some people will steam a lot of steamed buns on this day, put them outside and freeze them, and they can be eaten for a long time.

??Li Yuan didn't steam the steamed buns here, but Aunt Zheng was busy almost all day.

??Actually, Aunt Zheng steamed a lot of steamed buns, but Li Yuan ate steamed buns at home every day.But steaming has a different meaning today, and there are many tricks.

??Like the kind of kidney beans that are very big and taste very soft, mixed with sugar every day, the slightly sweet kidney bean steamed buns, red bean steamed buns, pea steamed buns, and glutinous rice stuffed steamed buns, and even some There are many kinds of sticky bean buns filled with red beans.

??It’s all steamed, put it in a crock pot, and move it outside to freeze. Basically, as long as it doesn’t thaw, these can be eaten all the time.

?? "I have only heard that there are many kinds of steamed buns since I was a child, and there are also many kinds of sticky bean buns. However, my family has always steamed steamed buns without sinking. Occasionally, some steamed buns with glutinous rice are steamed, but most of them are given to my sister. Go, keep the rest for the guests, I won’t eat it myself.”

??Li Buqun lives a frugal life, but even if he steams some steamed buns with various patterns, he doesn't spend a lot of money.

??Now is not the time when there was not enough food in the family before. At least there is enough food in Li Buqun's family. A good meal during the Chinese New Year will not lead to poverty or starvation.

??But Li Buqun's attitude towards life is just like this.

?? Regarding this, Qi Changqing didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

??When we got to grandma's side, Li Yuan went into the room to have a look, and asked a few more questions.

"Your uncle and second uncle both brought peach branches over here. The dumplings are not frozen before, just take some and cook them." Grandpa was very appreciative, "Oh, your sister and who are here, I took a carton of milk and a handful of peach branches."

?? "Oh, very good." Li Yuan said something.

??Grandpa said: "Everyone has his own destiny."

?? Seeing that grandma and grandma had everything they should have here, Li Yuan felt relieved, chatted for a few more words, and then made excuses to leave.

??When we got outside, Li Yuancai said, "It seems that my sister has really decided to hire a new wife. Going to the grave is an old tradition in the village. Married daughters are basically not allowed to go on such a day..."

?? "Grandpa is right, everyone has his own destiny. Everyone has the opportunity to choose, and they only need to be responsible for their own choices."

?? That's all.

"That's right." Li Yuan also felt that what Grandpa said was right.

?? On the day of Xiaonian, I was so busy that I still had to eat dumplings together in the evening.

?? But Aunt Zheng cooks dumplings after steaming all kinds of steamed buns and sticky bean buns at home; at the big house, they also cook dumplings, which can be regarded as firing on both sides at the same time.

??Li Yuan went back to the big house first.

??Zhu Wu and Li Zeyuan are not here, and Li Hu and Wei Yangyang are at the shed. Even Xiaonian can't leave their jobs, but their circumstances are special, and it's normal not to leave.And Xu Jinmian is even more special, he does not belong to the backer village, but intends to abide by the customs of the backer village.

?? "You two are going to eat there tonight, and I will come to the big house by myself." Xu Jinmian specially changed into an imposing home clothes.

??The dumpling fillings and dumpling wrappers are all ready-made. The dumplings made by Xu Jinmian are afraid of being exposed, so there is very little filling, and they look particularly dry.

??The dumplings were so soft that they couldn't stand up, they were all lying on the grates.

?? Xu Jinmian did not ask Li Yuan to help with this matter, and did everything by himself.

??Seeing that it was getting dark, other people's homes started to cook dumplings.

??Xu Jinmian also entered the kitchen with dumplings.

??Get the pot to boil water, wait for the water to boil, put the dumplings in, boil the pot, add cold water, and continue to boil.

?? "Xiao Yuanzi, you go." Xu Jinmian said while busy, "I can still do this little thing myself."

?? "There is ready-made beef in the refrigerator, just slice it. There are also ready-made dipping sauces..." Li Yuan couldn't help but say something.

?? "All right, all right, I know, you go quickly." Xu Jinmian urged.

?? Seeing that although the dumplings were a little shriveled, they really didn't turn over when they were cooking, and they were cooked smoothly, so Li Yuan didn't keep any more, and hurriedly dragged Qi Changqing away.

??When we got outside, Li Yuan wiped his eyes and said, "I originally thought we would be separated temporarily, one on the side of the big house and one on the side of my parents. The teacher usually looks good, and there are always people around, but Now, he's alone."

?? Just looking at Xu Jinmian's hard work, Li Yuan couldn't say what he said no matter what.

?? "The teacher thinks that way, let him do that." Qi Changqing said.

??"I know."

??So Li Yuan didn't say anything, and came out obediently.

??When we arrived at Zheng Shu and Aunt Zheng's side, the dumplings had already been cooked. Before eating, we had to take out a dumpling to worship our ancestors, and then we could eat as usual.

??Actually, the dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings are the same as those at the big house, but the people who make the dumplings are different, so the fullness of the dumpling fillings is also different. Aunt Zheng’s dumpling wrappers are thinner and fuller. Some.

??The sauced beef and dipping sauce are the same as over there.

?? When dinner was about to start, Miao Xing said, "I wanted to help out there, but the teacher wouldn't let me intervene, saying that I was a guest."

??This is also old-fashioned. This is the case in the mountain village. During the festival, if there are guests at home, the guests are generally not allowed to do it. The host does it himself. The guests only need to wait for the meal.

?? "Sister Miao Xing, don't think too much, the teacher probably has other ideas about this matter." Li Yuan said with a smile.

?? It is rare for Xu Jinmian to be so persistent in one thing, and it must not be as simple as a whim.

??In fact, everyone is not stupid and can vaguely see it, but Xu Jinmian didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask inappropriately.

??Since Xu Jinmian wants to be alone, let him be alone.

??I ate steaming dumplings here. Even if this festival is completely over, the days are still the same as usual. In the evening, I eat fruits, nuts, snacks, watch TV, and think about it by the way. Yes, get ready now.

?? After eating, Li Yuan and Qi Changqing came out and went back to the big house.

??Xu Jinmian ate a meal of dumplings by himself, and cleaned up the pots and pans by himself. Li Yuan went to the kitchen to take a look, and found that there were double servings of bowls and chopsticks in the dishwasher, but only one serving Yes, the other one is useless.

??I took some fruits, washed them, cut them and brought them out.

??Red Dou ran out of the kennel, howled loudly, and Black Dou and Soybean also ran out.

??The little fox lay on Li Yuan's lap dignifiedly, watching Hongdou running around the sofa, finally couldn't help it, jumped to the ground and stretched out his paws at Hongdou.

??Red bean da da da ran over, lay down on the ground, and gave the little fox a ride.

??The little fox rode the dog and circled in the living room.

??The familiar news broadcast was playing on the TV. Some people outside started to set off firecrackers, and there were also faint sounds of firecrackers on the distant mountains. This is because some people were too busy and finally went to the grave now.

?? "Sister Miao Xing lives there at night, but I won't come." Li Yuan said.

??The strawberries in the greenhouse taste very sweet and have almost no sour taste. According to Yue Haojie, after a little packaging, they are given as gifts and placed on the sales line of the supermarket. The price is set slightly higher, and the business is actually very good.

?? Now apart from those people who regularly delivered food, ate a lot of food, and tasted the benefits, other people have gradually been accepted by Amway, and they have recognized the vegetables and small tomatoes sent out by the mountain village.

??This can be regarded as progress at the beginning of all kinds of difficulties, and a little bit of market has been opened up, but even though it is only such a small amount of market, it is enough for a small backer village to be busy.

?? "The New Year is coming soon, and many logistics have stopped." Li Yuandao, "No matter how much goods Yue Haojie needs, there is no need to bother."

?? "It will be good if the projects in the surrounding villages are started in the spring of next year." Xu Jinmian boiled water by himself, made tea by himself, and took a sip while holding the teacup. "Yue Haojie is reluctant to part with the money now, but sometimes, Money is not everything.”

?? Money can buy a lot of things, but not this holiday spirit.

??Li Yuan vaguely understood, but Xu Jinmian didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask directly.

?? On the other hand, Xu Jinmian seemed to know what Li Yuan was thinking, and took the initiative to change the subject, "Your family Ah Qing is leaving soon, why don't you take advantage of these few days to be gentle? You don't have to worry about the subject matter, these few days God, I'll just keep an eye on it."

?? "Understood." Li Yuan quickly agreed.

?? It's not that he wants to be gentle with Qi Changqing, but it can be seen that Xu Jinmian is not in a good mood now, and he needs to work to divert his attention.

?? After a busy day, he went to take a shower at night. Li Yuan specially wrapped a thick coat around his body, and waited for Qi Changqing to come out of the shower. He said, "Ah Qing, why don't we go to the roof to watch the stars?"

?? Hongdou carried the little fox on her back, and followed behind.

??The top floor has not been decorated yet, it is still rough and rough, but the doors and windows have all been installed.

??Following the stairs to the third floor, Hongdou retreated a little when he saw the not-so-smooth concrete floor.

?? When Li Yuan opened the door and went to the huge terrace, the cold wind blew in. The little fox pawed at Hongdou's ears, and Hongdou turned around and ran away. He didn't dare to try to challenge the severe cold anymore.

?? Li Yuan had already prepared for it. He was wrapped in a thick coat, but he was not too afraid of the cold wind.

??Qi Changqing also came out wrapped in a big coat.

??The winter in Kaoshan Village is very cold. When it doesn’t snow, there are very few clouds in the sky in many cases, and it is basically blue and blue, without any trace of pollution. And every night, when there is a moon, the moon The color is very bright, and when there are stars, the little stars are clearer.
