Chapter 309 New Year's Eve, making dumplings

The last day of the lunar calendar in the year, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is the most beautiful day in our Greater China. There is a folk song that is popular all over the country and sings this way: Three hundred and sixty-five days, the sweetest and most beautiful is New Year's Eve. The wind is filled with fragrance, the snow is covered with honey, and the Spring Festival couplets are full of auspiciousness...

New Year's Eve is indeed very beautiful. Every household gets up early in the morning, sits around the table, and after having a sumptuous breakfast, post Spring Festival couplets, door gods, post blessings, hang lanterns, and decorate them with lanterns... The whole village is filled with extremely festive celebrations.

After dinner, Luo Hui did not rush to do these things. He drove straight to the city and took the old mother over. As for Comrade Luo Qingyun, he must be not at home. At this moment, he probably was either in an orphanage, a nursing home, or a poor family.

My mother went directly to Gaoshou’s house, Luo Hui returned to the mountain and began to post those festive things with Gao Qianqian.

"Brother Xiaohui, put a little on the couplet, it's tilted, go to the left..."

"Brother Xiaohui, the word "Fu" is not posted directly, you have to post it upside down... How can you not come upside down if you don't... It's so stupid..."

"Brother Xiaohui, hang a little more lanterns, there are six in total. How can you hang them like this..."

Gao Qianqian was the commander and Luo Hui was the soldier who was in battle. Soon, with the joint efforts of the couple, all these things were done. At this time, we looked at the small bamboo building on the mountain, which was very festive and warm.

"Come on, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Tsui, Xiao Hou, I'll wear you new clothes."

Gao Qianqian called out, and was admiring the three little guys who were embellishing the beautiful little bamboo house on the ping. She immediately ran into the bamboo house with great enthusiasm and rushed into the bamboo house. Gao Qianqian was holding three big red clothes or jumpsuits in her hand. This was made of red cloth recently. Is this person going to celebrate the New Year, and do the little animals also going to celebrate the New Year? The key is that these three little guys are now in love with wearing clothes and feel that after wearing clothes, they become handsome and cool. They are still showing off...

Gao Qianqian and Luo Hui cooperated to change their big red clothes. The three little guys were very happy and went to play with them. The two let the little guys go in a naughty way around the mountains, and they also went to the old house.

The old house was very lively, with two Eight Immortals tables in the middle, Luo Laogao songs and Gao Shuan. Four men occupied a table and played dominoes. Heaven, earth, people, this thing is 987, 65, 32 cards. When the cards were shuffled, one was stacked, one was pounding, eight cards were pounding, and four stacks in total. One person caught eight cards, and it felt like it was easy to play. In fact, it was really a bit complicated. Anyway, Luo Hui had watched others play several times before, but he couldn't understand it, so he was too lazy to read it later.

On another table, Luo Hui's grandmother Liu Guihua and Yao Yuzhen. Add Yu Fangyi, the four of them were happily playing Mahjong, the national treasure that is the largest and most popular in Greater China.

"Thirty thousand..."

"Eat one...two tubes..."

“Seven…”

"All of them are so bad... I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed, you're three..." But Yu Fangyi pushed the card. Yao Yuzhen, who pointed the cannon, smiled and said, "What's the shame? You're going to get it, it's your ability..."

Luo Hui couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Mom, do you play mahjong too?" This is the first time in more than 20 years that I have seen my mother play mahjong, which is really strange.

"As a Chinese aunt, it's very shameful to not be able to play mahjong..." Yu Fangyi took the money given by Yao Yuzhen, put on the cards, and smiled, "Your father doesn't stay at home all day long. If mom doesn't find something to do, she won't be suffocated... In fact, this mahjong was only learned for a while after returning from your mountain during the Mid-Autumn Festival... But mom has played very little recently..."

Luo Hui sat down on a stool next to his mother and nodded, "It should be very interesting to learn at the beginning, why did you play less?"

"Haha, I was a little empty some time ago, but recently I have less free time... Now, I'm not knitting clothes."

"Knitting clothes?" Luo Hui was puzzled. When he was a child, he often wore clothes knitted by his mother, but as he grew younger, his mother never knitted them... When he thought of the warm sweater his mother knitted, Luo Hui suddenly felt very warm all over, and he felt more distressed, "Mom, knitting clothes is too tiring, you don't have to knit for me anymore."

"You think beautifully, and you'll knit clothes for you..." Yu Fangyi teased Luo Hui and then said, "I knitted it for my two grandsons... Didn't you know that Xiaoqian was pregnant with twins before, so she only knitted one series, and she had more time to play mahjong. Now she must have two series..."

Gao Qianqian, who was sitting next to Luo Hui, blushed. Everyone at the table was laughing, and Luo Hui also laughed foolishly.

"Xiaohui is amazing, he is his father at once." Liu Guihua said with a smile, shouting at the table where the dominoes were playing, "Shuozi, you have to work hard too... You were leading 1-0, but now you see, Xiaohui has surpassed you..."

The people in the room laughed after hearing Liu Guihua's words.

"Yes, Shuanzi, you have to work hard. Look at Xiaohui, come from behind..."

"Shuozi, you can make three shots and bring Xiaohui back..."

Gao Ge Gao Shou was joking, Gao Shuan and Yang Huilan, who were sitting next to him watching him playing dominoes, couldn't help but blush.

It is normal for Yang Huilan to blush, but when Gao Shuan blushed, he would inevitably bring everyone a joke.

"Ko Lin..." Gao Shuan couldn't resist everyone's talkatively, and continued to firepower. He decisively called out that Gao Xiaolin, who was using a stool as a table, was sitting on a small stool to teach Niu Niu to play checkers, diverting his attention.

"Brother Shuanzi, what's the matter?" Gao Xiaolin looked up at him. This kid turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window and was only dedicated to teaching Niu Niu chess. He didn't listen to the excitement just now.

Gao Shuan said, "Look at your sister and brother-in-law, two of them are like magic, and they become four people in an instant. Should you also work harder?"

"I think about it, but my mother doesn't allow it...my sister and brother-in-law don't allow it either..." Gao Xiaolin smiled and stretched out her index finger and pretended to shake it left and right, "It's Brother Shuanzi, you can't do it. I think my sister-in-law doesn't seem to react... You have to work harder, learn from my brother-in-law, and have a double shot..."

The people in the room laughed again, Gao Shuan's attention did not change, but was hit by Gao Xiaolin. He blushed again with Yang Huilan, closed his mouth, and focused on playing dominoes.

Gao Xiaolin teased Xiao Niu Niu, "Niu Niu, do you want your parents to give birth to a little brother for you?"

"I want to!" Niu Niu cheered without thinking, "I really want to!"

"Then do you like your little brother or your little sister?"

“I like it all.”

"Would you give me a baby?"

"Not good." Niu Niu shook her head.

"Why is it not good?" Gao Xiaolin was stunned.

"Don't give birth to one person in the same way. You need to give birth to one person in the same way." Niu Niu said decisively.

"Ah, so many people have, that's not a pig?" Gao Xiaolin didn't keep any verbal words.

"Yes, it's like a pig mother, there's a lot of things in her life." Niu Niu blinked cutely and pointed her little head straight.

The room was laughing. Gao Shuan and Yang Huilan were so embarrassed.

“…”

The room was talking and laughing, making noise, and playing cards happily all morning.

At noon, a full table of sumptuous lunches were made, men drank sauts, women and children drank sweet wine, and after dinner, eight people who would never be able to play cards continued to fight.

Luo Hui and Gao Qianqian did not participate in the game, so they went back to the mountain to take a nap. In fact, Luo Hui's energy is quite good. The key is that expectant mothers need to have enough sleep so that the babies in their belly can develop and grow healthily... Luo Hui was sleeping with her.

After waking up from a nap, the two of them didn't go anywhere. They returned to the old house to watch them play cards, watch TV, and play chess... If nothing happened on New Year's Eve, they usually don't run outside. Are they reunited? The family stayed in the house and enjoyed the joy of the family.

When the mahjong game is about five o'clock, the work is over and there is something big to do.

What are you doing? Make dumplings. In fact, there is no such custom of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year in Gaojia Village, but it is very popular now. First, the dumplings have meaning, and second, the delicious food is dumplings. These days before the Chinese New Year, the meal was big fish and meat, and it was really good to change the taste.

The number one pioneer in making dumplings is Luo Hui.

Luo Hui quickly poured the flour into the basin. He rubbed it while adding water... After the water was almost done, he rubbed the flour repeatedly... After the rub was almost done, he divided the large flour into several pieces, and then rubbed these small pieces of flour into long strips...

Cut the long strips of flour into small pieces with a kitchen knife, flatten it into a cake shape with your hands... and then use a piece of round sand stick to roll the flour cake back and forth... The flour cake will become thinner and thinner, and finally become dumpling skins.

While Luo Hui was rubbing flour and rolling dumpling skin, Liu Guihua, Yao Yuzhen, Gao Qianqian, Yang Huilan was cutting vegetables and chopping fillings... The filling was very rich, the most common pork and cabbage filling, but this pork used authentic wild boar meat; beef and vegetable filling, authentic farm beef; rabbit meat and mushroom filling, fat rabbit in the forest; chicken and winter bamboo shoot filling, like pheasant that was replaced by fake packages...

None of these fillings use the best ingredients on the hill, but when Luo Hui mixes flour, he adds cucumbers and tomato juice squeezed with a press, so that the dumpling skin will taste more flavorful, and the whole dumpling will naturally taste more delicious... I feel drooling when I think about it...

A few kitchen knives and a few chopping boards were chopped and rhythmically. After all the fillings were chopped, Gao Xiaolin helped Luo Hui and cut the flour into pieces and pressed it into a cake. Luo Hui just rolled the dumpling skin and was OK.

Now, the dumplings are officially started. Liu Guihua, Yao Yuzhen, Gao Qianqian, Yang Huilan, four main forces; Yu Fangyi often makes a meal for Luo Qingyun at home, and her movements are quite skillful; Xiao Niu Niu also joined in. Although the speed is slow, she can also wrap the dumplings. The little girl is so wonderful that she can wrap the dumplings into the shapes of animals...

"This is a pig."

"This is a little rabbit."

"This is a lamb."

"This is a pony."
