On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was nothing special to do, so Su Xia simply cleaned the house.
In fact, she usually pays great attention to the hygiene of her home. She basically does a light cleaning every three days, a simple scrub every half a month, and a deep cleaning every month.
And all things must stay in the cabinet and be neatly arranged.
Even if the two children were playing at home, she would only fence off an area in the living room for them to play to their heart's content.
When they have enough fun and want to rest, Niuniu will take Baobao to put all the toys in the cabinet.
So Su Xia's house has always remained the same as when it was first built.
The only trouble was the coal stove and the kitchen, and the shed above the stove. Su Xia was helpless because the technology at the time was not as advanced as the plastic boards of later generations.
Just wipe it and it's done.
Su Xia cleaned all the rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom.
I don't know when Chen Jianguo will come home, so the quilt cover, pillow and pillowcase are all put aside.
꺗 prepared a set of pajamas for 놛, which Su Xia made herself.
Socks and slippers are all ready.
As for the two bedrooms on the east side, the cabinets in one of them are filled with various fabrics, wool, and spare clothes, pants, shoes and socks.
The sewing machine decided not to be put into the space, as she had earned a lot of money this year.
After selling pigs and eggs, Su Xia earned 500 yuan from grain and eggs. Before adding Chen Jianguo's salary, there was 800 yuan in the box now.
Everyone in the village knew that she knew the county steel plant, so it was not easy for her to get a sewing machine.
The cabinets in the outer room were filled with food. Su Xia put some melon seeds, peanuts, candies, biscuits, and more, enough for the New Year.
Two bags of 꺶宝 milk powder and two bags of 尼尼ｕanyu malted milk, and now the two of them have to drink a bowl of it every day.
Apples and oranges are sold in these counties, but in smaller quantities.
Su Xia went to the kitchen and filled the boxes with cornmeal and flour. She took out 20 catties of rice, 10 catties of noodles, 10 catties of millet, and 50 catties of rice bran.
There were also some beans, vermicelli, fungus, mushrooms, and dried vegetables neatly arranged. There were 50 eggs and 20 goose eggs in the egg basket.
One jar contains salted eggs, and the other jar contains pickled goose eggs.
The chickens in the backyard would occasionally lay one or two eggs, and there were more than 150 eggs in the space, enough for our family to eat.
All the seasonings were filled up, and the jar of lard in the cupboard was filled with soybean oil, and the spare seasonings, brown sugar, white sugar and rock sugar were all replenished.
To the east is the pot, the stove, and then the pickled cabbage jar.
There was a washstand and a bathtub in the bathroom, and on the shelves were towels and toiletries. Anything that was missing was fully stocked.
As the sun rises, the number of jars of pickles in the house increases.
Su Xia had no choice but to build a three-layer shelf at the back door of the kitchen, against the east wall.
There are some shallow bamboo baskets on the ground, which contain potatoes, sweet potatoes, and various canned jars with ketchup, chili sauce, and preserved fruits.
If you have eaten all of it, you can go to the cellar to get more.
The two layers below are pickled vegetables in jars. Cucumbers, sour beans, garlic eggplant, pickled radish, kimchi, mustard greens...
Because there are so many varieties, each one is pickled in small amounts, so the total amount can last for a long time.
Su Xia went to the cellar and took out all the potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbages, radishes and corns in the space.
In an instant, the whole cellar was full.
There are still 300 kilograms of corn, 300 kilograms of potatoes, 250 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 100 kilograms of cabbage, 60 kilograms of radishes, and 30 kilograms of carrots.
There are also garlic, dried chili peppers, 30 kilograms of bacon and three bacon chickens.
Before the festival, I got some pork, including a pig head, two pig elbows, two pig trotters, 5 jin of spare ribs, 20 jin of pork bones, 60 jin of pork belly, and 30 jin of lean meat.
These are all frozen in the jar.
Su Xia bought two chickens and three fish, so there would be enough meat for the New Year.
There are frozen green onions outside, use chopped green onions.
There was a pot of green onions and a pot of leeks planted in the living room. Su Xia had already eaten them all. Now they could be eaten, but she had to wait until the Chinese New Year.
After finishing everything, Su Xia took out the pig blood left over from the last pig slaughter in the space.
While I have some time today, I’ll make them into pancakes. I used to do this when I was a child during the Chinese New Year at home.
Heat the wok, add lard, and when it starts to smoke, use a spoon to spread it out spoonful by spoonful.
It took about twenty minutes to finish cooking the whole pot of pig blood.
I cooked some millet porridge, and had pig blood cakes and millet porridge for lunch, with some side dishes.
Niu Niu and Bao Bao didn't dare to try it at first, but Su Xia coaxed them into eating a bite, and then they left no one to watch over them.
The two little guys took one bite after another.
"Mom, I didn't expect this cake to be so delicious."
꺶Bao껩 followed suit: "Mom, it's delicious"
Niuniu rolled her eyes and corrected 꺶bao.
"Brother, the cake is delicious, not mom?"
Bao Bao opened his eyes and said, "Mom, it's delicious!"
Niuniu...
I could only continue eating the cake angrily.
Su Xia has been watching Le. She found that Niuniu, as a big sister, has been teaching her little brother, but Xiaobao is too young and has little ability to understand.
So many times, she would be so angry that she would grit her teeth or run to her to complain.
After dinner, Su Xia took a basket and put some pig blood cakes in it.
Tell Niuniu to put on her clothes and "give this to grandma"
Niuniu put on her clothes, picked up the basket, and left, ignoring Xiaobao who was calling her from behind.
"Woo woo....
Sister, don’t take me!
...."
"She'll be back soon, why would she take you with her?"
"Really, mother?"
Su Xia nodded, and 꺶宝 sat down by herself and played with building blocks, looking towards the door, as if waiting for her sister to come back.
Why....
Sometimes, when I see 꺶宝 clinging to 妮尼ｕ, 꺗 thinks of my younger brother in the future.
Su Xia simply tidied up and started her project.
First, make a bowl of white flour and a bowl of corn flour, then add yeast and ferment them before use.
Then he made a bowl of white flour and a bowl of cornmeal, and added a little white flour into them.
On the day of Little New Year, take out all the fillings.
First, make 50 white flour dumplings and 50 corn flour dumplings with each filling, and then wait until all the flour is used up.
Start steaming the buns. In the end there are 5 kinds of fillings, two kinds of noodles, and a total of 200 buns.
By the time Su Xia finished wrapping the wound, both wrists had lost feeling.
I rested for half an hour before I felt better.
The dumplings and lids are placed outside to freeze.
After thinking about it, I took the steamed buns out to freeze, and kept 5 white flour, pork and cabbage, and 5 oil-dregs sauerkraut for dinner.
After everything was done, Su Xia went to the living room, lay on the sofa, and rested while accompanying the children.
At this time, the only thought was that it would be nice to have a TV.
Niuniu and Baobao knew that she was tired, so they didn't disturb her at all and just played by themselves.
When Xiao Niang was eating buns at midnight, Niu Niu was still thinking about her biological father.
"Mom, is Dad really not coming back yet?"
Su Xia rolled her eyes. She was almost annoyed by being asked this question several times a day.
꺶宝 held the 꺶包子 in both hands and ate so much that his eyes could be seen.
What dad? The buns are not as delicious as his.
Where is Chen Jianguo at this time?
We have finally reached the county town, but it's getting dark and there's no car. We can only prepare to go home on foot. But thinking of my wife and children at home, this distance is not a problem!
Su Xia's mother didn't know yet that in more than two hours, the man of the house would be home!
