438 I have a daughter who has grown up (seeking monthly pass)
"Are you three sure?"
In the yard of the Xu family, Xu Da came to the table filled with tributes, stood with his hands behind his hands, and seriously asked the three boys kneeling in front of him.
Zhao Bei looked at his wronged son and couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.
Wang Pingping and Xu Erniang each held a baby, and sat in front of the warm stove in the room. They looked through the window at the three people Zhao Adou who were about to become sworn brothers in the courtyard, with smiles from the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.
It's a funny laugh.
Xu Yue was even more exaggerated. She had already burst into tears from laughing. Xu Dalang stood next to her and held a handkerchief for her. From time to time, he helped wipe the tears from the corners of his sister's eyes, and at the same time patted her on the back to cheer her up, so as not to laugh to death.
But even though the background environment was so noisy, it still couldn't affect Zhao Adou's desire to become sworn friends.
The little guy had a stern face and nodded solemnly towards Xu Da, who was presiding.
Then he raised his little hands to the sky, imitating what his mother had told him, and said exactly the same words as his father.
"The sky is above, the earth is below, I am Zhao Adou!"
The little guy turned to Daniel and Ajian and raised his chin. The two of them said with helpless and doting eyes:
"It's Daniel!"
"I'm Wang Jian!"
Zhao Adou took the lead and said: "The three of us became brothers today under the witness of Aunt Wang, Uncle Xu, Brother Dalang, Sister Erniang, Sister Youniang, and my father!"
"From now on, we will share blessings, bear hardships together, work together, and never give up... You two should read after me!"
Daniel and A Jian looked at each other and followed Zhao Adou:
"My three brothers, the eldest brother Wang Jian, the second brother Daniel, and the third brother Zhao Adou, do not want to be born in the same year and the same day, but they want to live and die in the same year and the same month, and we will never lose each other!"
Zhao Adou excitedly held A Jian's hand: "Brother!"
Then he turned around and held Daniel's hand: "Second brother!"
The three of them hugged each other, and Daniel and Ajian shouted in unison: "Third brother!"
Xu Da nodded heavily and shouted: "The ceremony is completed!"
Zhao Bei silently put down the hand covering his face and looked at the three boys with sincere eyes. He was in a daze, remembering the passionate years of his three brothers, and his eyes gradually became wet.
Xu Yue, who was still laughing, stopped laughing, because in her opinion, the Coca-Cola incident was a very serious matter in the eyes of Zhao Adou and the others and needed to be taken seriously.
Wang Pingping shouted in the room: "Come in now that the ceremony is over and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner! Xu Da, Dalang, come over and watch the Northeast Plain."
Aunt Xing is back home for the holidays, and they have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tonight by themselves.
Everyone in the courtyard returned to the house. The open door brought in air-conditioning, and most of the heating in the house was gone.
Xu Da walked to the cradle and picked up the twins' blankets and wrapped them up to prevent them from accidentally freezing.
The three Daniel brothers, who had just finished their sworn vows, gathered together and listened to Zhao Adou telling them about the heroic deeds of his father and two uncles back then.
From time to time, Zhao Bei would interject and correct his son's mistakes, with a proud look on his face.
Xu Yue led her sister and grandma to the kitchen, where all the ingredients had been prepared.
Tonight's main course is mutton shabu-shabu.
Xu Erniang makes soup, steams steamed buns and cooks rice.
Wang Pingping chopped firewood and watched the fire.
Xu Yue is in charge of other side dishes.
It's freezing cold, and the yard is a natural refrigerator. I took out the brine I bought directly from the shop yesterday.
Then I beat a few eggs, made two bowls of steamed eggs that the twins could eat, and steamed them in a steamer with the marinated water.
As long as you are on Xu Jiajun's territory, eating vegetables in winter is not a problem.
Xu Yue washed a big radish, two handfuls of small green vegetables, and soaked half a pot of vermicelli.
Wash the radishes and cut them into long strips, cut the green vegetables into sections, and roll the vermicelli into small balls. Put them on separate plates and serve them to the table as side dishes for hot pot.
Xu Erniang's soup base was also ready. Wang Pingping took out the pieces of mutton frozen in the snow, and amid the exclamations of Zhao Adou and the other three boys, she "swished" them into pieces that were thinner than paper.
Lamb rolls.
The two staple foods of steamed buns and rice are served at the same time. Finally, steamed eggs, marinated water, and dipping sauces are served, and a simple New Year's Eve dinner is ready.
Zhao Bei sniffed the fragrant bone soup and said with emotion: "The last time I ate hot-boiled mutton was just yesterday, when Xu Jiajun was just Xujiazhuang..."
Xu Yue took out the small red velvet flower she bought for Xu Pingyuan, took the little one out of her father's arms, tied two small knots on her and pinned the velvet flower on her.
Xu Erniang put the dishes and chopsticks and turned around to see her daughter's happy face. She suddenly slapped her head and went out in a hurry.
He quickly rushed back, holding several red clothes in his arms.
Xu Yue thought they were all for the twins and happily took them: "I'll dress them."
"Wait a minute." Xu Erniang turned away, avoiding Xu Yue's hand, and suddenly smiled strangely.
As soon as Xu Yue saw her sister's smile, she didn't understand anything. She was startled and was about to put down the twins and move away.
"Stop!"
"I don't!" Xu Yue pushed Xu Pingyuan into her father's arms and ran away.
Zhao Bei was still recalling the past, filled with emotion. In the blink of an eye, people were chasing each other inside the house, and it was extremely lively.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Bei looked at Xu Da curiously.
Xu Da coaxed Xu Pingyuan, who kept grabbing the little red flower on his head with his hands, and joked:
"It's okay, it's a game between sisters, let's start eating, don't worry about them."
"Oh." Zhao Bei was confused. While watching the bustle of the sisters, he ate the delicious hot-boiled mutton.
There are no rules in the Xu family. Zhao Adou and the three of them filled a bowl of food and ran to the door to look at the Xu Yue sisters chasing each other in the yard. They giggled from time to time and didn't know what they were laughing at, but they felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
.
In the end, Xu Yue was defeated. Under Xu Erniang's proud gaze, she put on a gorgeous red dress, combed her hair in an exquisite bun, put on powder on her eyebrows, put on red lips, and walked slowly into the hall.
With a "bah" sound, the wine glass in Zhao Bei's hand fell on the table, and the drink almost splashed all over Xu Da.
But at this moment, Xu Da didn't care about his clothes anymore. Looking at the girl in red approaching, he took a deep breath and almost choked himself with a sip of wine.
There is a daughter in my family who has grown up. Wang Pingping’s mind is filled with this sentence.
"Is this still the leader?" Daniel's eyes widened in shock. He suspected that he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. The girl in red in the room had not changed.
Zhao Adou dropped the chopsticks in his hand and hurriedly picked them up. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the girl in the red dress in the room looking back and smiling softly. He was immediately fascinated and muttered:
"I, when I grow up, I want to marry Sister Yue as my wife..."
A Jian slapped him down, and Zhao Adou screamed and woke up instantly.
"How could Sister Yue like you, a little brat!" Ajian sneered.
Zhao Adou felt aggrieved and said: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu brother, hit me, I'm your third brother..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Dalang's cold eyes swept over him. Zhao Adou trembled all over. He quickly picked up the chopsticks and immersed himself in eating the rice. He didn't dare to mention anything about taking Sister Yue as his wife.
