Beloved Plantation King

After such an incident, everyone's New Year's mood is still somewhat affected.

The world is impermanent, always feeling sad.

"Aniang, I'll kill these two fish?" Yin Peinan carried the big wooden bucket containing the fish to the pond to kill the fish.

Zhao Xiu'e and Zuo An were also plucking chicken feathers by the pond, without looking at him, they replied: "Kill it, kill it, cook it and send one to Dahai's family."

Zuo An then asked: "By the way, A Niang, there seems to be no bowls and chopsticks in the old house. Did you deliver the food and get the bowls?"

Zhao Xiu'e paused, straightened her waist, and said angrily, "Oh, yes, I forgot to take the bowl! I'll send it to them right away."

Wen Yi happened to take the two little ones to paste couplets and hang lanterns in front of the kitchen, and said, "I'll go, I just happened to send them a few lanterns."

"That's fine, you go, bring some vegetables and rice bowls, don't forget the chopsticks."

Yin Peinan added: "Then bring another firecracker over there."

"Okay." Wen Yi went to the utility room to get firecrackers and lanterns.

Zuo An whispered: "I don't think they necessarily want to hear the sound of firecrackers."

The sound of the roof collapsing last night is probably something they will remember for a lifetime.

Zhao Xiu'e sighed, and said: "To get rid of the old and usher in the new, and to send off the new year, we still need to light firecrackers."

She turned her head and said to Wen Yi again: "Brother Yi, by the way, tell them that we will not be able to prepare the food and send it there until the end of time."

"Row."

Wen Yi took out a bunch of firecrackers, and took the bowls and chopsticks in a bamboo basket. Brother Ning and the others were going too, so he asked them to take the lanterns and firecrackers and go there together.

The New Year’s Eve dinner here in Xinping County starts in the afternoon and can be eaten from noon to night.

Today, because of the affairs of Yin Dahai's family, the whole village's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared a bit late, and most of them didn't have breakfast.

Yin Peinan and the others turned on several stoves at the same time, stewing, stewing, and frying.Yin Peinan and Zhao Xiu'e cooked together, Zuo An and the others worked together, and finally finished all the dishes when it was not right.

All dishes are served in duplicate, including chicken, duck, fish, pork knuckle, braised pork, wild game with cured meat, and other small stir-fries, plus two vegetarian dishes.

"Okay, send it over!" Zhao Xiu'e finished the last dish.

The family puts the hot dishes in the cauldron into bowls and picks them up in baskets, or carries them on a dining plate, or directly carries them through a cloth to deliver the meals.

On the way, they also met a few villagers who were coming back from there.

"Daqiang, did you send them here too? Didn't I say we're coming today?" Zhao Xiu'e looked at Daqiang and his wife and asked.

Daqiang smiled and said, "It's okay, we just sent one over."

When Zhao Xiu'e and the others arrived at the old house, there were already four or five dishes on the table, and they were all meat dishes.

When Yin Dahai's mother saw Zhao Xiu'e and the others coming, she hurriedly said, "Xiu'e, are you here? Village Chief Daqiang and the others have brought food over."

Zhao Xiu'e and the others put down the dishes, and the table was full, leaving two or three dishes with no place to put them.

"It's okay, it's just a little thought from everyone." Zhao Xiu'e looked at the stewed chicken and tamales that Yin Peinan was carrying, and said, "Ah Nan, there is no place to put it here. There is chicken on the table, let's put it in the stove. eat."

"Okay." Yin Peinan took the chopping board in the kitchen.

Zuo An put a cauldron of rice on the iron rack next to it, and said, "Grandma, the rice is here."

"Okay, thank you, Brother An, for your hard work."

"You're welcome." Zuo An sent the dishes in his hand to the kitchen for storage.

A table full of dishes can be said to be the richest in the whole village.

Yin Dahai and his mother kept wiping away tears, and the gratitude in her heart was beyond words, so she could only keep repeating thank you.

What Zuo Baoying was carrying was a basket of snacks and melon seeds and peanuts, which she hadn't put down yet.She tugged at Zuo An's sleeve and asked

: "Brother, where do you put this?"

Zuo An patted her on the shoulder and said, "You go to grandma, tell her not to worry, celebrate the new year well, take care of your health, and just say a few auspicious words."

Zuo Baoying hesitated for a moment, she was not very familiar with the villagers, especially the elders.

"Go." Zuo An encouraged her.

Zuo Baoying passed by.

She walked up to Aunt Yin Dahai, raised the small basket with both hands, and said in a low voice, "...Grandma, and this. I wish you good health and success."

Aunt Dahai took it over, touched Zuo Baoying's head, and smiled through tears: "Okay, Yingying is good, thank you Yingying."

"You're welcome." Zuo Baoying blushed a little, and turned her head back to Zuo An.

Zuo An patted her in relief.

Zhao Xiu'e and the others went in to see Dahai and his wife. Because their legs were injured, they could only lie in bed for the New Year.

Dahai's wife has already woken up. After learning everything, her eyes are still red and swollen, obviously she has been crying for a long time.

"Don't worry, you'll get better soon, take care of your health, and let my aunt call us if something happens." Zhao Xiu'e comforted Dahai's daughter-in-law's hand.

Dahai's daughter-in-law sniffed and thanked: "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you."

Now they live, eat, and use all from Zhao Xiu'e's house, and the quilts on their bodies are specially carried by Zhao Xiu'e.

Zhao Xiu'e and the others comforted them, and Yin Peinan set off firecrackers for them, and the family went back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The food was served on the table, because it was kept warm in the cauldron, and it was still hot.

After worshiping their ancestors, Ning Geer and Zuo Baoying followed Yin Peinan and Zuo An to the gate to set off firecrackers.

Children are fascinated by firecrackers.

Yin Peinan hung the firecrackers on a long bamboo pole, and held them obliquely, and Zuo An went to light them.

Ning Ge'er and Zuo Baoying watched from the door.

Ning Ge'er looked at the incense in Zuo An's hand eagerly, and asked expectantly: "Brother Brother, give me some, okay?"

"What do you think?" Zuo An raised his eyebrows and looked at Brother Ning. This little guy is sometimes very timid and sometimes very courageous. He is also very afraid of pain.

He reminded: "Be quick, if it blows up to you, it will hurt very much."

"I, I'm not afraid!" Ning Ge'er looked at the firecrackers and said courageously.

"That's fine, then you come." Zuo An handed him the incense, and said to him: "Tap the lead wire below, see?"

"Yeah." Ning Ge'er took the incense, and approached the firecracker carefully, Zuo An was worried, and followed behind him to protect him.

There were still three feet away from the firecrackers, so Ning Geer didn't leave.

He stretched out his arms, covered his ears with one hand, and stretched out his arms carefully to touch the lead wire.

But the firecracker was hung on a bamboo pole, it was so long, and the wind was blowing, so it was very swaying, Ning Geer couldn't align the lead wire at all.

"Oh, brother, don't shake it, I can't even order it." Brother Ning yelled at Yin Peinan.

Yin Peinan replied to him: "You are asking too much, and I can't control the wind, or you can let the wind stop blowing?"

Ge'er Ning pouted: "The wind doesn't belong to our family, and it doesn't listen to me."

"You still know? Hurry up, if you can't, give it to your brother-in-law."

"I order me!"

After the two quarreled, Geer Ning went to light it again, but the lead wire swayed left and right with the firecracker, and he couldn't light it at all.

Zuo An simply grabbed the firecrackers, carried them a foot away, and said to Brother Ning, "Come on."

Brother Ning stared blankly at his brother-in-law's hand: "That much?"

Zuo An nodded: "Yes, order."

Brother Ning was a little worried: "What if it explodes later?"

"I'll throw it away when you light it."

Yin Peinan looked at it and said: "My dear, be careful."

"It's okay." Zuo An replied, then turned to Brother Ning and said, "Hurry up. Run as soon as you order, you know?"

"Oh." Brother Ning nodded obediently.

Now that the brother-in-law is carrying firecrackers, it will not be so wobbly.But at the same time, the pressure is even greater.

What if it blows up my brother?

Ning Ge'er swallowed his saliva, and took a lunge forward with one leg, in a posture where he could turn around and run at any time, and then approached the lead wire with shaking hands holding the incense.

It was getting closer, getting closer, the fire on the incense stick was blown very brightly by the wind, he slammed at the lead wire, but didn't dare to see if it was lit, so he ran away.While running, he did not forget to shout to Zuo An: "Brother, run!"

Zuo An looked at the unmoving wire in his hand: "..."

"Come back, it's gone." Zuo An called him back again.

"Ah? Isn't it lit?" Brother Ning turned around and stared blankly at the firecracker in his brother-in-law's hand, and sure enough it wasn't lit.

He came back again and continued to point.

He got close to it twice, but he retreated before it was lit, and the third time, it was finally lit.

"Zizzi-"

"Run." Zuo An flicked the firecrackers, and quickly dragged Ning Ge'er back to the gate.

"Crackling crackling——!"

"It's ringing! It's Chinese New Year~~!" Brother Ning shouted excitedly.

Zuo Baoying had already hid behind the door, only poking her head out to watch.

The sound of firecrackers drives away plagues and evil spirits, bids farewell to the old and welcomes the new, welcomes the gods and welcomes blessings.

New Year!

The family had a lively and beautiful New Year's Eve dinner.

After eating, they rested for a while, and they were busy rolling dumpling skins with noodles to make dumplings, which could be eaten at night.

Noodles are Wen Yi and Zuo An's home game, they rolled dumpling skins very fast and round, Yin Peinan and the others didn't even have time to make dumplings.

"Is it necessary to stuff copper coins? I remember that copper coins were stuffed last year." Ning Ge'er and Zuo Baoying were also wrapping and playing at the side, and what they made didn't look like dumplings, but like wontons.

Zhao Xiu'e nodded: "Yes, I need to put copper coins. It's ready. I washed it."

She went out to the window sill and brought back the copper coins, and said, "Six packs, and another six packs of peanuts and red dates, when the time comes, send two bowls to Da Hai's family."

"I want to make copper coins." Brother Ning grabbed a copper coin and stuffed it into the dumplings he made.

Shuizhu laughed at him: "I'll see who has copper coins later."

Ning Ge'er blinked, looked at his own, then at the ones made by sister and the others, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll pack a few more."

Zuo An praised him a bit: "My brother is smart."

Brother Ning proudly raised his head: "Of course."

The crowd burst into laughter.

As he said that, Brother Ning really worked hard to wrap several pieces, but he didn't squeeze them tightly enough. In the end, Zhao Xiu'e reprocessed them all.

The whole family gathers together to make dumplings, no matter what the shape of the dumplings is, whether they look good or not, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is this kind of harmonious and warm atmosphere, which feels very warm and comfortable.

In the evening, after the dumplings were cooked, Zhao Xiu'e and Wen Yi sent two big bowls to Da Hai's family.

In the evening, they had to watch the New Year's Eve, and the family gathered around the warming table to warm up by the fire. Zhao Xiu'e and the others mend their clothes when they had nothing to do, and chatted with each other.

Yin Peinan, Zuo An and the two younger ones ate melon seeds and teased them to talk.

When they were children, the two little ones had already fallen asleep leaning against Yin Peinan and Zuo An, and they took them back to their respective rooms to settle down.

Not long after, Zhao Xiu'e and Wen Yi couldn't bear it anymore and went to sleep.Shuizhu didn't want to disturb brother-in-law and brother-in-law, so she also went to bed.

Yin Peinan and Zuo An were left, very similar to last year, yet very different.

Anyway, there were only the two of them, Yin Peinan put his wife in his arms and let him

Leaning on his shoulders.

"Sleep when you're tired."

Zuo An shook his head and said, "Last year, we were the two of us who stayed until dawn, and I fell asleep halfway through."

Yin Peinan kissed his daughter-in-law on the head and said: "Well, we hadn't confessed our love at that time. Do you know my dear, that day, you leaned against me, and I secretly hugged you while you were asleep."

Zuo An chuckled and said, "I know, I feel it, I thought it was a dream at first."

"It's not a dream." Yin Peinan rested her head on Zuo An's head, lost in memory.

"You don't know. At that time, I felt so happy. I wished that it would never be dawn. I secretly leaned against your head, just like now, but I didn't dare to fall asleep. I was afraid that it would be dawn after I fell asleep. It’s not worth it. So I just lean on it, feel and imagine with my eyes closed.”

Zuo An raised his head to look at him: "What are you fantasizing about?"

Yin Peinan looked at his wife and laughed, "That's all."

"What?" Zuo An raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Fantasy holding you, kissing you; fantasizing about us being together...anyway, there are so many."

Zuo An laughed, hooked Lao Gong's neck and sat on his lap, nestled into his arms, and said, "At that time, I didn't even dare to think that we could be together."

Thinking of the oolong incident in the past, the two sighed at the same time and laughed again.

"Why was I so stupid back then?" Yin Peinan felt incredible every time he recalled it.

"Well, I'm stupid too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Yin Peinan held Zuo An's face and said, "Fortunately we are together, otherwise this life would be so regrettable."

"Well. So we don't have any regrets in the future."

"it is good."

Yin Peinan replied softly, moved her head forward, and the two exchanged a sweet and moist kiss.

The day of yesterday cannot be left behind, and there may have been many regrets, but those are all in the past.More importantly, in the days to come, cherish every moment, live a good life, love each other, and don't leave any regrets.
