Not long after Guo Yu and Zhou Feng put down their bowls, the Guo Jianping brothers brought the chicken and fish back to the kitchen.
Then joined their chat.
They chatted for about half an hour, and then Deng Qingling and Li Chunyan came back after washing the vegetables.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Liang Xueying asked Guo Jianping and others to prepare lunch so that Guo Yu and others could eat and return to the county town.
After all, today is New Year's Eve.
As a daughter-in-law, Guo Yu is the only one in her husband's family who can cook decent meals. She has to go back to the county town early to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Soon, Guo Jianping and his colleagues prepared lunch skillfully.
Because I was in a hurry, I just made some simple stir-fried dishes at noon instead of stewing any.
Even if it's just stir-fried meat slices with sauerkraut, stir-fried shredded potatoes, or stir-fried chicken with celery, these three dishes are enough to feed the whole family.
Soon, the food was gradually reduced amid everyone's laughter.
After lunch, Deng Qingling and Li Chunyan cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table.
The others were chatting in the main room.
As they were chatting, Guo Yu remembered the tangerines still in the package, "I almost forgot, we bought some tangerines."
As he said that, Guo Yu stood up and hurried to find the tangerines. After finding them, he put them all on the table.
"I didn't realize this little tangerine was so sweet."
Guo Jianping picked up a small and exquisite orange, peeled it, and first gave it to Guo Ninghuan and Guo Ningwan, and then peeled it for himself.
At this time, there are already tangerines in Guilin, Guangxi.
Shatang oranges were first introduced to Guilin in 1958.
"I bought this specially in Guangzhou. I heard that this tangerine came from Guangxi." Guo Yu said with a smile.
"No wonder they taste better than the oranges we ate before. It turns out they are from other provinces." Guo Youxing said.
Satsuma tangerine is a fruit with thin skin and thick flesh. Its flesh is delicate, juicy and sweet, and tastes good. Eating a tangerine will give you a refreshing feeling. It is really delicious.
Satsuma mandarin oranges are also rich in essential nutrients for the human body, such as vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, as well as carotene and citric acid. They have the effects of clearing the lungs and moistening the intestines, regulating qi and resolving phlegm, strengthening qi and resolving phlegm, and strengthening the spleen and replenishing blood.
As soon as Deng Qingling sat down, Guo Jianping stuffed a freshly peeled tangerine into her hand.
Deng Qingling only ate half of the tangerine and gave the other half to Guo Jianping.
It’s not that she doesn’t like to eat them, but these are the only tangerines left at home, and she’s too lazy to compete with everyone else for these fruits.
There are all kinds of fruits in her own space, but maybe she has eaten too much, so she is not so keen on eating fruits.
Sometimes I eat a little bit when I see it, but sometimes I don’t eat it at all.
Everyone silently watched the loving gestures of Guo Jianping and his wife, and continued to talk and laugh while eating tangerines.
After all, they are used to it.
At around one o'clock, Guo Jianping drove a ox cart to take Guo Yu, Zhou Feng and their family to the town to catch a bus.
Before leaving, Deng Qingling and Li Chunyan gave New Year's money to the Zhou Jiazhen brothers.
Of course, Guo Yu also gave New Year’s money to his nephews and nieces.
Liang Xueying also specially packed two sacks of things for Guo Yu. They were not valuable things, just potatoes and cabbages grown by herself, a chicken, pickled meat, sauerkraut, pickled bamboo shoots, and dried vegetables.
In the afternoon, Deng Qingling and her family started boiling water for bathing early. There were many people in the family, including six children, so a lot of hot water was needed to go around.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
With everyone's concerted efforts, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready before six o'clock.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner consisted of four dishes and one soup: a plate of braised pork, a plate of minced meat tofu, a steamed fish, a plate of stir-fried cabbage with oil residue, and a pot of chestnut stewed chicken soup.
It sounds like there are few dishes, but the portions are large and these dishes are enough for their whole family to eat.
After dinner, Deng Qingling and Li Chunyan cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table, while Liang Xueying held Guo Haojie and chatted with Guo Jianjun and his son in the main room.
Guo Jianping took the children to play with fireworks in the yard.
The children were running around in the yard with their fireworks sticks, having a lot of fun.
These fireworks were brought back from the provincial capital by Guo Jianping's master. Not only were the fireworks sold at the county supply and marketing cooperative expensive, they were also extremely difficult to buy.
After coming out of the kitchen, Deng Qingling did not go to watch Guo Haochen and the others play with fireworks. Instead, she sat in the main room, warming herself by the fire and chatting with everyone. It was really cold and she didn't want to go out in the wind.
***********☆☆☆☆☆***************☆☆☆☆☆*******
Maybe they were tired from playing with the fireworks, so the children stayed up until around ten o'clock and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
It was so cold that Deng Qingling didn't want to stay any longer, so she went back to her room with her daughter to sleep.
It’s more comfortable to lie in bed in this weather.
When Guo Jianping returned to his room, he saw his wife sleeping soundly next to their little daughter, so he took off two pieces of clothes and went to bed quietly.
Deng Qingling, who was half asleep, felt a familiar breath and couldn't help but snuggle into Guo Jianping's arms, adjusted his sleeping position and continued to sleep.
Guo Jianping put his arm around her waist and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
