Chapter 16 Happy New Year



In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is here.

Before his grandparents got up, Fubaoer placed the prepared New Year gift package in the main room.

Couplets, blessing characters, paper-cuts, window decorations, and big red lanterns were all made by Fu Baoer himself when he was bored. They are bright and festive.

In addition, food and drinks are also essential!

Killed chickens and ducks, cleaned grass carp and silver carp, and put a basket of lively river shrimps, loaches and eels. Of course, as a koi fairy, carp is absolutely not allowed!

There are also large pieces of beef, pork and donkey meat, neatly stacked on the plate, I hope they will scare my grandparents later.

Thinking that she had never brought any fruit to her grandparents, Fubaoer rubbed her little head. Her fish-like brain was too careless. There was no shortage of fruit trees in the blessed land. Every tree was lush and full of fruits.

Apples, oranges, pears, winter dates, and some mountain products, chestnuts, hazelnuts, etc., to enjoy after dinner.

Fu Baoer searched the paradise for a long time and dug out a jar of the best osmanthus wine, which everyone in the family can drink!

After finishing preparations, Fubaoer yawned and went back to sleep.

When Jiang Fengxia got up, she was still a little confused. She put on her clothes and walked towards the main room. Suddenly, she seemed to kick something over with her feet, and a round object rolled out with a thud.

Jiang Fengxia rubbed her eyes and lit the kerosene lamp. When she saw everything clearly, she screamed and covered her mouth.

Oh my god, the gods have appeared again.

"Old man, hurry up and get up! That person is coming!" Jiang Fengxia woke Fu Manshan up. "Be quiet, don't scare the child."

Fu Manshan hurriedly put on his cotton jacket and stood up. Even though he was used to such things, he was still shocked by the things in the room.

The table and the floor were piled high with things.

"Wow, this is enough for us to eat until next year's New Year."

The old couple bowed towards the sky several times, sincerely thanking God for the gift.

Jiang Fengxia sorted the things and put them away, Fu Manshan went out to make paste to stick up the Spring Festival couplets, and Heiwa followed behind to help his grandmother move things one trip at a time.

At around seven o'clock, Zhaodi and Pandi woke up. They put on their cotton-padded jackets and were surprised to find two red hairbands and a few pieces of fruit candies and milk candies on the head of the bed.

Pan Di grabbed a piece of candy, peeled it, and put it in her mouth, "Great!"

"Little greedy cat!" Zhaodi was not as impatient as her sister. She put the candy in her pocket and went to find her grandma excitedly with the red hairband.

"Grandma! Tie my hair!"

Jiang Fengxia found a comb with a smile, braided two pigtails for Zhaodi, and tied them with red hairbands. She looked so beautiful.

"Grandma, I want one too!" Seeing her sister's beautiful braids, Pan Di couldn't wait to ask Jiang Fengxia to braid them for her as well.

Pan Di has short hair, so Jiang Fengxia tied it into a small bun to show her style. But even so, Pan Di still looks very beautiful.

"Let's go eat!" Jiang Fengxia was happy when she saw her granddaughters. She felt that her life was full of purpose.

Ever since Zhaodi came to live with her grandmother, her favorite thing is to eat the food her grandmother cooks.

Today is Chinese New Year, and Jiang Fengxia prepared a very sumptuous breakfast. She fried a few kinds of food, cut the stewed pork into slices, sprinkled some green onions on it, and steamed it in a pot for a while. She also made a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts.

Zhaodi held a big white steamed bun in one hand and a spinach fish in the other, and her little mouth was covered in oil as she ate.

Fu Manshan broke the steamed bun into two halves, put a few slices of meat in it, added some garlic sprouts and eggs, and finally put two mung bean meatballs on it. He squeezed it hard and the meatballs were flattened.

Pan Di looked at the rice in her hand and immediately felt that it was not as delicious as her master's, so she insisted on exchanging it with Fu Manshan. Fu Manshan was afraid that she would be too full, so he took half of the steamed bun and gave her another one.

Zhaodi secretly stuffed Heiwa with several slices of meat, and his face was filled with happiness. Who in the family understood? As an old dog that had practiced for a hundred years, it was actually okay for him to eat a little salt...

Jiang Fengxia served the corn porridge over, and when she saw the three people and the dog eating, she couldn't stop smiling.

Fu Baoer smelled the smell of food in her sleep. Her little hands and feet fluttered happily, and tears flowed from the corners of her mouth...

After breakfast, Fubaoer was put on a simple wooden bed that Fumanshan had just made, and helped everyone make dumplings.

Jiang Fengxia had chopped the minced meat last night, added soy sauce, fennel powder, pepper, sesame oil and other seasonings, and marinated it overnight. Fu Baoer really liked the smell of this raw meat filling. The dumpling fillings she had seen in her previous life were not as delicious as the ones made with milk.

Fu Manshan looked at the many kinds of meat fillings and kept clicking his tongue, "Old lady, how many kinds of dumplings do we have to make?"

"Not many, cabbage and pork, carrot and mutton, and green onion and beef, just three kinds!"

When Zhaodi heard this, she was happy. It was all meat and she liked it.

Fu Baoer actually wanted to eat leeks and eggs, but unfortunately she had no say.

As Jiang Fengxia pressed the dumpling wrappers, she said, "I don't prepare much of each type of meat filling, we just want to try something new."

"Okay! I'll do as you say!" Fu Manshan skillfully took the pressed dumpling wrapper, put the stuffing on it, held the dumpling in one hand, and quickly pinched wrinkles into the wrapper with the other hand.

In no time, a beautiful and plump dumpling is ready.

Zhaodi was smart. She followed suit and after pinching a few, she was able to wrap a few as well.

As for Pan Di, she can only harm the noodles and fillings.

"Go, go, go, you and Pan Di go out and play." Jiang Fengxia was disgusted with Pan Di for ruining such a good thing, and drove them out, "Let Hei Wa follow you."

Zhaodi took her younger sister and went to the village to play with other children. Since she came to her grandmother's house, she didn't have to work. She ate and drank every day and became familiar with the children in the village.

Heiwa squatted nearby, like a bodyguard for the children. If there was a fight, he would stand up and enforce justice. Under his dominance, no one dared to cause trouble, and the village was peaceful for a while...

In the distance, the twins from Fu Laoer's family, Fu Chengru and Fu Chengjie, looked at their friends playing hopscotch here with envy. Because of Zhao Li's affairs in the village, they were also disliked by others.

Fu Chengru saw Zhaodi's cotton-padded jacket and the red hairband on her head and couldn't help but run over. "Fu Zhaodi! Your father is almost crippled, and you're still playing around! You have no conscience!"

Zhaodi paused, "My dad just broke his leg, he'll be fine in the future."

"You may not know this yet, but because my father and Third Uncle didn't get any good hunting, my uncle refused to pay for our schooling!" Fu Chengjie said proudly, "But my mother said she has the money to pay for our education, but you're out of luck! You'll never be able to go to school again!"

Zhaodi was devastated. She also wanted to go to school, but her parents would definitely not pay for it.
