At half past three, it was already getting dark, and the snow, which had stopped for a while at noon, began to fall again.
After looking at the sky, Shen Anning called her brother, "Anyu, fill the kitchen with hot water and boil a few more pots. I'll go get grandpa and grandma over. Let's get together tonight. They haven't seen Zixi for a while."
"Okay, alright, big sister, you go first."
Wrapped in a military coat, Shen Anning went out. Fortunately, no one was outside. When she arrived at her grandparents' house, they were preparing to cook.
Seeing this, Shen An Ning stopped them and said, "Grandpa, grandma, don't cook tonight. It's snowing today, and no one is going out. Come to my yard and stay overnight. It's snowing today, and no one will come to visit. Go take a bath, have a good rest, and come back tomorrow." Shen An Ning put the food in his arms into the jar where Grandma Shen collected things, and put out the fire without saying a word.
The two of them couldn't resist and wanted to go see their great-granddaughter, so they put on their cotton-padded jackets and cotton shoes, locked the door and followed Shen An Ning away.
Shen Anxuan stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, watching the three figures approaching, and was very happy. After living here for half a year, this was the first time that grandparents came to their small courtyard.
First go to the north wing. Grandpa and grandma sleep with Shen Anyu at night. Shen Anning has already made the quilt. In total, Shen Anning has added three mattresses, three thin quilts, and four thick quilts to the house. The twins didn't think it was inappropriate.
The warehouse was made of adobe and wooden boards and was very well sealed. First, put the coal stove in, moved the bath tub out and cleaned it, put the clean clothes prepared for grandparents on the stool, and Shen Anyu brought in the hot water kettle and the cold water bucket.
Shen Anning brought her grandmother in. "Grandma, you wash first. I've prepared the water. It's hot. Soak for a while. If the water is not hot enough, you can add more. The kettle is on the side."
Grandma Shen was very moved. It is not easy to take a bath in the winter in the Northeast, so she just wipes herself every time. She smiled happily when she heard her granddaughter's words.
“Grandma, this towel is for you. I’ll put some herbs in it to invigorate your blood circulation.” The steam-filled warehouse was very warm. The soap and the basin for clothes were placed on the side, so she didn’t disturb Grandma Shen and went to the kitchen to prepare food first.
Grandpa and grandma finally came once, and Shen An Ning also planned to let them take some back tomorrow morning, so she didn't put anything away. Anyway, she had the final say on how much stuff was at home. It would take more than an hour for the two old people to take a bath. It was only a little after four o'clock now, and they would be busy until six o'clock to have dinner just in time.
Close the kitchen door, take out two pounds of pork, two pounds of mutton, two ribs, potatoes, dried vegetables, and dried mushrooms. First, use the rice cooker in the space to cook a pot of rice porridge, knead the flour and let it rise, chop the pork and cabbage into stuffing and season it, then start making dumplings. I made forty-six dumplings and put them in the steamer in the space to steam. Chop the ribs into pieces, blanch them, and stew them with potatoes, then add some dried beans, braise the mutton and radish, take out a piece of pork liver and make stir-fried pork liver. Thinking that grandpa likes to eat braised meat and pig intestines, the pig intestines of the six pigs in the space have not been touched at all, so I took them out and cut off a piece, added red dried chilies and planned to stir-fry them. Finally, cut a plate of red sausage. Five dishes are enough for the whole family.
There was a lot of meat in the buns, so Shen An Ning took out ten white flour buns, steamed four of them, and put the rest away to bring to grandma tomorrow morning.
A little after six o'clock, Ana Shen had finished cooking. She really had to thank the heavy snow, otherwise she would have cooked so many dishes and the smell would have been too strong.
He shouted towards the yard: "An Yu, An Xuan, come over and serve the dishes. Take the tray and be careful."
The twins each carried two plates of food, took them over first, and then came back to get the rest and the bowls and chopsticks. Shen An Ning filled a dustpan with twenty buns and four steamed buns and took them over.
The family sat on the kang, Grandma Shen held Shen Zixi in her arms, and the twins surrounded them, which made Shen Anning unable to control her tears again.
I tried hard to hold my breath and move forward.
Fortunately, the kang table was big enough to hold five dishes, and the porridge bowls and buns were placed on the kang. Looking at so many delicious foods, Grandpa Shen felt like it was the New Year.
"Girl, I made so many delicious dishes, but it's a pity that there is no wine."
Shen Anning opened the kang cabinet, took out a bottle of Moutai, poured half a bowl and placed it in front of Grandpa Shen, then put the bottle back.
"Yes, yes, but you can't drink too much. There are many snacks tonight, so you are allowed to have one drink." Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen had dinner around ten o'clock in the morning. They were already a little hungry. Looking at the delicious food prepared by their eldest granddaughter, they immediately picked up their chopsticks and started to taste it.
Shen Anning was willing to use oil, and with the help of space seasoning, every dish was at the level that could be taken out to open a restaurant.
Shen Anyu ate three buns and drank a bowl of porridge, and was so full that he lay on the kang and burped. Shen Anning ate less at night, one bun and a bowl of porridge. Grandma Shen and Shen Anxuan were the type who chewed their food slowly, two buns and a bowl of porridge each, and ate them very deliciously.
After dinner, Shen Anyu took An Xuan to wash the dishes, and Shen Anning took out the milk powder to feed the baby at home. Shen Zixi was very lively at night, more noisy than during the day, and he opened his mouth and talked to the family, making everyone laugh.
Considering that they had to get up early in the morning to go back, at ten o'clock, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen lay on the kang and prepared to rest. They had a bath today, had a good meal, and had the children by their side, so they slept more soundly than usual.
On average, the little girl has to be fed once every two hours for fear that she will howl at night. After Shen An Ning waits for her sister to fall asleep, she takes the little girl into the space, puts her on the big bed, changes her into a diaper, and plays some light music. She falls asleep quickly. Now Shen An Ning intends to let her little niece sleep with a round head, so she will often change her sleeping position and put something under her head.
Take out a chicken, wash it and put it in a casserole, add some red dates, wolfberries, and two ginseng roots, and stew it on a coal stove. Grandpa and grandma can drink it tomorrow morning when they wake up.
