“You are bad!”
Coming out of the grove, He Xiaoyu kept wiping the marks on her mouth.
After he found a bright spot, he asked Lu Xinghe to check whether it was clean.
I was afraid that someone would see me eating the delicious food secretly.
Seeing Lu Xinghe nodded, he rolled his eyes at Lu Xinghe, pushed the door open and went in to eat.
There were fried fish, milky white fish soup, and the meat that had been stewed in the morning.
Liu Xisheng and the other gentlemen were already drunk to the point of being dazed.
Mother Lu left the table with the two little girls.
When he saw the two of them coming back, he hurriedly asked about Xiao Hongmei's situation.
"How is Hongmei? Is her fever serious? She doesn't need to go to the hospital. Director Ye said he has a car to pick her up in the evening. If necessary, he can take her there directly."
"No, Xiao Hongmei is fine. She will probably be fine after a good night's sleep. You guys should go back to your room and get some rest. It will be in time if you start preparing for the New Year tomorrow."
Lu Xinghe smiled at He Xiaoyu with ill intent.
This is not a fever. Even if Xiao Hongmei didn't have a fever, Widow Wang would find a reason to let him go.
"Okay, I'll come and clean up after dinner. You and Xiaoyu should go to bed early, eat more, and spend some time with your leader."
At the end of this year, whether it is the general environment or the information in the newspapers.
There are fewer sensitive issues.
However, Mother Lu was still worried. The two people in the room were considered the greatest leaders she had ever met.
It's an honor to have such people come to my home for dinner.
What she didn't know was that when he and Xiaoyu had their wedding, the old man who talked to her about his parents was actually the most powerful leader in the entire Danjiang City.
After three rounds of drinks, heavy snow began to fall outside, and Director Ye was picked up by the forest farm, swaying from side to side.
Li Chunhua supported Liu Xisheng and waved goodbye at the back door.
Liu Xisheng lived in the brigade, just a few steps away from Lu Xinghe's house through the back door, so he didn't let Lu Xinghe send him off.
"You guys should go back quickly. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and we don't know when it will stop. So, take advantage of the convenience now to cover the firewood and other things, and don't let anything go wrong."
Seeing that it was getting dark and there was no light at all, Li Chunhua patiently tried to persuade them.
Unexpectedly, her words came true!
The heavy snow continued for two days without stopping.
However, it is said that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.
After the Little New Year, it is equivalent to the New Year.
Even though the wind was howling outside, the whole sky was snowing heavily as if there was a leak.
Happy white smoke was emitting from the chimneys of every household.
At this time, at Lu Xinghe's home.
Lu Xinglin, He Xiaoxue and Xiao Hongmei covered their mouths and sat quietly on small stools in the kitchen.
Drool flowed from between fingers.
His eyes are full of desire for New Year's goods.
In the past, the Lu family was not well off and didn’t have much money or food left after the New Year.
The four things we prepare for Chinese New Year are candied dumplings, peach cakes, peanuts and melon seeds.
And these have been accumulated since the beginning of the year.
It tastes like Kara.
The Kara smell is the smell of something growing hair.
However, one year later, Mother Lu looked at the food slowly piling up in the shed, waved her hand, and directly restored the old tradition!
In the room of Lu's mother and two little girls.
In the steaming pot, golden fried dough sticks float on the whole pot of oil.
Deep-fried dough sticks, fried dough twists, spring rolls, hemp leaves, deep-fried cakes…
Every one of them is a delicacy that can make children cry.
However, since we want to have a great New Year!
Then keep all the traditions.
One of the rules is that children cannot talk when adults are preparing New Year’s goods.
It means that when adults are preparing New Year's goods, the Kitchen God will make the New Year's Eve dinner a little more special and make more food when no one is paying attention.
Children are impatient and easily say the wrong things, so they should cover their mouths when preparing New Year’s goods.
However, these are all auspicious customs. In Lu Xinghe's opinion, they are just to cover up the drooling that keeps flowing.
And in Lu Xinghe's room.
The big pot was filled with slowly cooked wild boar and bear meat.
Of course, just stewing meat cannot reflect the disregard for the Chinese New Year.
After the meat was stewed, Lu Xinghe sprinkled sugar all over an abandoned pot.
Then place all the meat on the pot curtain above the sugar.
Wait for the meat to dry and cool.
Light a firewood fire under the pot.
The firewood must be pine wood, so that the heated sugar can not only emit a caramel flavor.
There is also a fresh pine scent.
This is a sugar-smoking method unique to the Northeast.
Not only can the meat be preserved longer, the smoked meat is more delicious, and even the fat is fatty but not greasy.
Lu Xinghe, who normally doesn't like to eat fatty meat, can eat half a pig.
"You are such a loser~"
Ye Bufan was drooling and felt heartbroken looking at the bag of sugar.
Every time the Chinese New Year is approaching, white sugar and brown sugar are rare commodities that are out of supply.
Who can be as wasteful as Lu Xinghe?
"Cou, don't eat it when it's ready." Lu Xinghe was also very greedy.
This was done by his grandfather before, and later it was passed on to his father.
He just sat on the stool and waited like Ye Bufan.
However, as he started his own family, he could only learn from his elders and take care of the whole family.
But you know what, for a man, it's very satisfying to see the smiles on his family's faces.
This is actually the happiest thing.
After waiting until nightfall, all the prepared New Year's goods were put into the two little girls' rooms.
Lu Xinghe firmly opposed it, but his mother was afraid that the smell of oil would be too strong and would suffocate He Xiaoyu.
Isn't this equivalent to putting food in a rat's mouth?
However, seeing the mother's persistence and the hopeful eyes of the two little mice.
Lu Xinghe had no choice but to agree.
Just as New Year’s Eve approaches.
In the entire Lu family, no one could still sleep.
In Lu's mother's room, under an oil lamp, Lu's mother looked at the family photo and kept wiping away tears.
All he was thinking about was his eldest son who was wandering outside.
The two little girls hid in their beds, their mouths stuffed with food non-stop like little hamsters.
As for Ye Bufan, he naturally recalled the past events.
"Xiaoyu, why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you missing home?"
Inside the big house, Lu Xinghe hugged He Xiaoyu and pulled open the curtain of the back window.
"Yeah, I miss home and my dad. I wonder how he is doing in Meng Province. Is he still alive?"
"He must be alive, and you will be able to see him in less than a year. Do you believe me?"
Lu Xinghe comforted quietly.
"Believe it! How can I not believe it? You can even tell Grandma Chang's fortune."
Speaking of this, He Xiaoyu burst out laughing.
"That's fine. Trust me, your father will be fine."
But it’s different from the warmth here.
In the stone cave of Linhai County, Lu Xingkong and Shen Dazhuang hugged each other tightly.
Trembling all over, he stood guarding the fire in front of him.
In this non-snowy weather, it's still barely bearable inside the cave.
It snowed heavily for two days in a row and the sun could not be seen during the day.
Not to mention going to Chaihe Brigade for revenge, even the piled up snow outside the cave blocked the two of them inside the cave and they couldn't get out.
"Go sweep the snow!"
Shen Dazhuang said in a commanding tone.
"Get lost, why don't you go..."
Lu Xingkong was almost freezing to death, so it was impossible to ask him to clean up the snow!
