Since I was going to cook a lot of delicious food today, I just cooked noodles and ate some salted vegetables for breakfast and finished it quickly.

After dinner, the sisters-in-law cleaned up the kitchen and started frying.

The more common things like fried fish and fried vegetable meatballs were made by Zhang, while Zhou was in charge of the fire.

Liu Tangxi removes the cores of the soaked hawthorns, strings them into strings, and then boils sugar on a small stove nearby.

Children are generally not allowed near the fish when it is being fried, for fear that the oil will burst out and burn the children, or that the children will talk nonsense.

But the attraction of Tanghulu to children was too great. Although they knew they couldn't get close to it, they couldn't help but want to get close. So, after playing in the yard for a while, Shulan was the first one who couldn't help but walk towards the kitchen door.

Although Bosheng wanted to go, he was the eldest brother and had to look after his younger sisters, so he did not move and reminded Shulan.

"Shulan, grandma and mom said we can't go over there. The oil is too hot and it will hurt us."

Hearing this, Shulan stopped, looked at Bosheng, pursed her lips, and said, "Brother, but I want to eat, what should I do?"

As a good brother, Bosheng didn't want to make his sister sad, but the adults told her not to get close.

Bosheng was in a dilemma as to whether he should be a good brother or a good son.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should let Shulan go on.

Fu Yao's eyes were always looking towards the kitchen. Hearing this, he muttered, "Why don't we just take a look outside and not go in?" Then he walked towards the kitchen.

"Fu Yao, no..." Bo Sheng opened his mouth to stop him.

Fuyao is about the same age as Bosheng, and Bosheng is not as tall as her. She never really listens to Bosheng. She probably only thinks of Bosheng as her brother when she makes a mistake and needs to blame him. She doesn't have this awareness at other times.

"Just taking a look, why are you making such a fuss?" Fu Yao rolled his eyes at Bosheng and pulled Shulan towards the kitchen.

Shulan smiled, without even looking at Bosheng, and followed Fu Yao.

Seeing this, Bosheng couldn't help his curiosity and followed his sisters over.

Although she walked steadily, she stopped at the kitchen door. She lay down at the door and carefully poked her head inside. Shulan saw her doing this and followed her example by lying down at the door. Bosheng did the same.

Fortunately, the small stove used by Liu Tangxi was near the door, and the big stove was inside, so they could see the process of Liu Tangxi making candied haws.

The kids were making so much noise that Liu Tangxi could hear it even when she was making candied haws concentrating on making them.

Seeing three heads staring at her movements, Liu Tangxi put the candied haws into a string and smiled at them, saying, "Don't worry, go and play for a while, it will be fine after a while."

Although Liu Tangxi said this, the children did not move and kept staring at the candied haws in her hand.

In response, Liu Tangxi smiled and said nothing more.

Finally, after the child swallowed his saliva several times, Liutangxi's candied haws were ready.

Bamboo sticks are free, and if they are too long, it is difficult for children to eat them, so Liu Tangxi put five or six on a string for them. But she put more, about twenty strings.

After it was done, Liu Tangxi gave each of them a string.

Because of his love for candied haws, Fu Yao quickly bit off one.

Seeing Fu Yao eating, Liu Tangxi quickly asked, "Is it delicious?"

Fu Yao nodded quickly: "It's delicious, better than all the candied haws I've eaten before."

Bosheng also said: "Yes, this hawthorn is not so sour, it's a little sweet, very delicious." After saying that, he couldn't wait to take a bite.

Liu Tangxi thought that it must be his golden finger that worked again and changed the taste of the hawthorn.

That’s great! If I can’t make a living in the future, I can still go around the streets selling candied haws.

Sell ​​one skewer, eat one skewer, earn money and eat delicious food.

Just as she was thinking about it, a small hand grabbed her sleeve.

Liu Tangxi looked sideways and saw Shu Lan.

Shu Lan narrowed her eyes and said anxiously, "Auntie, I can't eat it."

Liu Tangxi took a look at Shulan's thick clothes, then looked at her high wrapped neck, and immediately laughed.

It really is like a ball.

In order to let Shulan have it, Liu Tangxi squatted down and adjusted her cuffs and collar.

Soon, Shulan also had the candied haws.

"It's delicious." Shu Lan said with a smile.

Seeing the children eating happily, Liu Tangxi felt warm in her heart.

Mrs. Li had gone out early in the morning and just happened to come back. When the children saw her coming back, they all ran over and scrambled to give her candied haws.

"It's too sour. I won't drink it. You can eat it yourselves." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

"Grandma, it's not sour, but very sweet. Third Auntie made it so delicious." Shu Lan said in a baby voice.

"If it tastes good, eat a few more." Li touched her granddaughter's hair.

"Yeah." Shu Lan nodded with a smile and continued eating.

However, Fuyao is a little older and not as naive as Shulan.

Under Fu Yao's insistence, Li finally took a bite of the candied haws. After eating it, she was also very surprised.

"Oh, this hawthorn is really delicious, not so sour."

Fu Yao said proudly: "Because it was made by Third Auntie, everything Third Auntie makes tastes good."

After hearing this, Li smiled and said, "Yes, your third aunt's cooking is delicious."

Hearing these compliments, Liu Tangxi smiled.

The children were having fun, but Zhongxing, who was sleeping in the house, suddenly started crying.

Liu Tangxi hurried back to the stove and replaced Zhou, asking her to coax the child.

Zhang quickly fried the large items for the New Year. Liu Tangxi prepared and started frying lotus root, crispy pork, egg custard, sweet potato balls, etc., which were the children's favorites.

So, after eating the candied haws, Bosheng and his friends ate a lot of meatballs.

The adults were very tired after the morning, but the children were very happy.

After finishing one, they stood at the door waiting for the second, all smiling happily.

Hearing their laughter, the adults suddenly felt less tired.

Bosheng had his holiday around the 20th of Lavender, but Wei Hanzhou did not.

It was not until the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month that Wei Hanzhou returned home on the snow.

As I arrived at the door of my house, before I even went in, a snowball was thrown at me.

The broken snow particles fell into the clothes through the collar, feeling icy cold.

He just wanted to shake it off, but his luck was bad. Not only did he fail to shake the snow off, but a piece of snow stuck to his head also slid down his collar into his inner clothes.

The feeling of the snow falling on my body is like a knife. It is not only cool, but also a little painful.

Fortunately, my body temperature was very high, and the snow melted on my body almost instantly.

This is really not a good experience, Wei Hanzhou frowned.

He lowered his head and brushed off the snow on his body. Just as he was about to push open the door, he heard laughter coming from inside.

"Haha, Third Auntie, you are too strong. You didn't hit me, but flew over my head." Fu Yao said proudly.

Liu Tangxi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Why don't you tell me that you haven't eaten recently and you've grown too short? Otherwise, I wouldn't have missed out."

There are more and more delicious foods at home recently, which leads to a problem. The children eat a meatball and a piece of crispy meat, and by the time it is time for dinner, they are all full and no one eats their rice.

Fu Yao immediately retorted: "I...I didn't."

After saying that, he looked at Bosheng and Shulan who were standing beside him.

"Big brother is not as tall as me, and Shulan is not as tall as me either."

Bosheng looked up at Fu Yao's height and a look of loss appeared on his face.

His sister is younger than him but taller than him. Why doesn't he grow taller?

Seeing Bosheng's expression, Liu Tangxi said quickly, "Girls grow faster than boys when they are young. When they are in their teens, boys start to grow taller."

Fu Yao is an outgoing girl, and her personality is somewhat like a boy's.

Bosheng, however, was an introverted person. As soon as Liu Tangxi saw the expression on his face, she hurried to comfort him, fearing that he would be unhappy.

"Really, Auntie?" Bosheng asked excitedly.

Liu Tangxi nodded and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask your grandma."

Li had just come out of the kitchen. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "It's true. Your third uncle was also short when he was a child. Your cousin was younger than him, but a head taller than him. She called him a shorty every day. Then one day, your third uncle suddenly grew taller. Look, he is taller than your father now. So, don't worry, you will grow taller in the future."

Little Dwarf...

Hearing these words and thinking about Wei Hanzhou's current appearance, Liu Tangxi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Shulan has always liked Wei Hanzhou. When she heard what Li said, she immediately said, "Third Uncle is not a shorty. He is the tallest."

"Yes, yes, your third uncle is the tallest." Li said with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, didn't know whether he should go in or not.

"Ah? Grandma, was Third Uncle really so short before?" Bosheng then asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. Your grandfather knows why grandma lied to you. If you don't believe me, ask him." As she said that, Li looked at Wei Lao San who had been standing near the pigpen.

Wei Lao San also smiled and started talking to Bo Sheng.

After hearing this, Bosheng smiled and said, "Great! Can I be as tall as Uncle San in the future?"

"Yes, I will in the future." Wei Lao San answered affirmatively.

Liu Tangxi thought, no one in Wei Lao San's family was short, and Zhang was even taller than Li, so it would be difficult for Bo Sheng to grow short.

A few people were talking when they suddenly heard Wei Erhu's voice coming from outside the door.

"Hey, Lao San, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you go in?"

Wei Hanzhou frowned and said, "Big brother, second brother."

"You look like you just came back?" asked Wei Daniu.

Wei Hanzhou nodded: "Yes, I just got home."

"Let me hold it for you. It looks like there are quite a few books in it." Wei Daniu said after taking a look at the bag in Wei Hanzhou's hand.

"Thank you, big brother. No need. It won't sink." Wei Hanzhou rejected Wei Daniu's kindness.

"Okay, go in." Wei Daniu said with a smile.

As he spoke, Wei Daniu pushed open the door in front of him.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw everyone standing in the yard.

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu didn't hear what everyone had just said, so after they came in, they started chatting with everyone with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Wei Lao San asked, "Are you done with the work?"

Wei Daniu nodded: "Yes, it's done. The dock is closed before the New Year. We will go again after the 15th."

Wei Lao San smiled and said, "Well, I've been tired for a whole year. It's time to take a good rest."

"It's okay, I'm not that tired." said Wei Daniu.

After saying a few words, Wei Lao San looked at Wei Han Zhou who was standing at the back and said, "Lao San is back too?"

"Well, school is on vacation."

Since everyone saw Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu every day, they paid less attention to them. Wei Hanzhou only came home once a month, so Li naturally paid more attention to her youngest son.

After this glance, I found a clue.

"Hey, third brother, why are your clothes wet? There's some water on your hair, too. Didn't the snow stop early this morning? Could it be that it's still snowing in the county?" Li expressed her doubts.

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou raised his eyes, passed Li and Wei Lao San, and looked at Liu Tangxi who was standing at the back. From the conversation just now, he learned that the snowball was thrown by Liu Tangxi.

Ever since Li mentioned Wei Hanzhou's nickname just now, Liu Tangxi had a better understanding of Wei Hanzhou, and Wei Hanzhou's aloof image also collapsed step by step in her heart.

Now seeing him suddenly appear, Liu Tangxi stared at him and imagined that he was a short boy like Bosheng when he was a child.

Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi couldn't help laughing.

She thought her little action was not obvious and was hidden behind people, but somehow, it was still discovered by Wei Hanzhou.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou looking at him, Liu Tangxi immediately covered his mouth to hide the fact that he was laughing.

Looking at Liu Tangxi's expression, Wei Hanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "The snow in the county town also stopped this morning."

"Then how did you get this? Did you fall?" At this point, Li immediately stepped forward and looked at her son carefully, "Look at you, you are so grown up, and yet you are so careless when you fall."

"No, my son didn't fall." Wei Hanzhou denied. He glanced at Liu Tangxi and added, "Just now, a kid was playing snowballs and got hit by accident."

Looking at Wei Hanzhou's meaningful eyes, Liu Tangxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This bastard would never do anything without a purpose. Since he was looking at her, he must be hinting that this matter was related to her.

Thinking of the snowball he had just thrown, and then considering that Wei Hanzhou seemed to have been standing outside the door for a while, Liu Tangxi became more certain of his guess.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then wipe it with a cloth, don't catch a cold." After saying that, Li changed her mind and said, "Why don't you just change your clothes? You've been covered in dust since you came back from outside."

"Okay, son, I'll go now."

After saying that, Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi again and turned back to the house.

"Big brother and second brother, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll call you for dinner later."

"Oh, okay, mom."

Today, Zhang and Zhou will cook, so Liu Tangxi is not needed.

Several children followed their fathers into the house, and Wei Lao San and Li also returned to the main room.

The originally bustling yard suddenly became empty.

Liu Tangxi had nothing to do, so after thinking for a while, he walked towards his room.

Wei Hanzhou had just entered the room and was about to take off his coat and change his clothes when the door was opened again.

Liu Tangxi didn't expect Wei Hanzhou to move so quickly. She was just stunned for a moment, and he had already taken off his coat swiftly.

Wei Hanzhou didn't expect Liu Tangxi to follow in.

He never stayed at home for long, and he had no habit of locking the door.

Just like that, Wei Hanzhou, with his inner garment tightly on and his collar slightly open, turned around and looked at Liu Tangxi who was standing at the door in a daze.

Liu Tangxi just thought that Wei Hanzhou's movements were too fast. She thought he was still looking for clothes, but she didn't expect him to take off his thick outer clothes so quickly. She didn't think she saw anything unseeable. She often saw topless male celebrities on the Internet, so she didn't think it was unseeable to see someone like Wei Hanzhou who was wrapped up tightly.

Moreover, she found that although Wei Hanzhou only knew how to study every day, he had a good figure.

Considering that he goes climbing every morning and works in the fields, he must have exercised a lot.

But Wei Hanzhou is different. He and Liu Tangxi received a different education.

He was surprised and a little annoyed at Liu Tangxi's appearance.

"Close the door." Wei Hanzhou said coldly.

This attitude is very obvious, it is an order to leave.

Liu Tangxi was chilled at first, and then she suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. Last time when Wei Hanzhou came back and forgot to close the door, she also said this to him with disdain.

Thinking about his attitude towards him last time, and thinking that the snowball he threw just now should have hit Wei Hanzhou, Liu Tangxi felt that Wei Hanzhou's expression was not too cold, and his attitude was not too bad.

It's her fault.

She accidentally wet Wei Hanzhou's clothes.

Moreover, Wei Hanzhou was only wearing his undershirt at the moment, so he must be very cold. So Liu Tangxi put on a flattering smile, turned around, and closed the door without hesitation.

After closing it, he turned around and looked at Wei Hanzhou with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou was changing clothes. Moreover, although they were husband and wife, they were actually innocent and nothing had ever happened.

He knew that she had her own thoughts in her heart, and he had no intention of doing anything with her until everything was clear.

So, he thought she would close the door and go out.

But unexpectedly, the girl didn't feel embarrassed at all. She closed the door and stared at him with a smile.

"It's all my fault. I forgot to close the door. It's too cold. You should put on your clothes quickly." Liu Tangxi said after taking a look at the clean clothes in Wei Hanzhou's hands.

The look on her face seemed as if she was planning to watch him change his clothes.

Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips and blushed slightly. He didn't know if it was because he was angry, or because he was suddenly hot from outside, or maybe... shy?

However, Liu Tangxi was more inclined to be angry.

Thinking of what Wei Hanzhou had said before, Liu Tangxi said in a relaxed tone: "Are you trying to say don't look at me if I don't want to? It's okay, we are husband and wife~"

Liu Tangxi repeated to him everything Wei Hanzhou had said before.

She thought, it's just a coat, and I'm not showing any flesh, so why should I be so shy?

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou's expression changed again, obviously he was very angry, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt refreshed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened.

Wei Hanzhou stared at Liu Tangxi for a long time, and seeing that she looked very interested and didn't seem to avoid him at all, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He slowly raised his hand and placed his fingers on the belt that fastened his inner garment.
