Xue Ling hurriedly took it and welcomed the old man into the door.
"Uncle San, why haven't you been here often recently? My dad was talking about you last night, saying that you haven't been here for four or five days."
The third uncle laughed and said, "My eldest son and I went to Beidaihe to play. We drove there and stayed there for two days, and then came back slowly. As we were older, our bones were loose, and we had to ride the bus for a long time.
If you take a two-day break, you won’t be able to recover. Isn’t it only four or five days after a while?”
"It's so good!" Xue Ling said: "While you can still walk, hurry up and play more!"
Xue Sanbo explained: "These oranges were bought on the road. When we passed by someone's orange garden, we saw that the trees were yellow and orange, and we liked them. The oranges were more durable, so we bought a big basket. We can't eat them at home.
After that, I took some to eat with everyone.”
"Thank you, Uncle San." Xue Ling said: "You sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea. My dad and father-in-law have gone for a walk downstairs, and they should be coming back soon."
"Okay." Uncle Xue San greeted everyone and sat in the center of the living room.
When Xiao Ranran saw him, she was very happy. She trotted forward and gave her little toy to play with.
Cheng Tianyuan was making rice cakes while protruding his head out.
"Uncle San, stay here at noon and celebrate the festival with us in the evening! Uncle Zhilan and Aheng are also coming, so everyone gather together to celebrate the festival."
Uncle Xue San stopped and said kindly: "The sons and grandchildren are going to come back to celebrate the festival with me. We have made an appointment to gather together for a meal every festival. Everyone will have fun and laugh, so that the festive atmosphere will be strong.
”
"It's so good!" Cheng Tianyuan said: "Then I won't keep you. My mother and I are making rice cakes and bean cakes. You will take some back to eat when you go back. These are our southern snacks, so let them be fresh while they are fresh.
You can try it.”
"That's good!" Uncle Xue San smiled: "I ate it once last time, but I still miss you now! I will take a few more back later, and I will be polite!"
"Your family, why are you polite!" Liu Ying said: "It's rare that you like it, we can't be happy!"
Xue Ling poured tea to his third uncle and explained: "The factory stopped working today, and my mother came with Aheng in the afternoon. I have been too busy recently and can't keep it tight. I have to rest for a day or two occasionally, otherwise my work efficiency will be low.
”
"Yes, enough rest is for better work." Xue Sanbo said in a warm voice: "You just need to understand this principle."
Xue Ling shook her head and laughed: "I'm looking for an excuse to be lazy!"
Three Boss laughed.
After a while, Dad Xue and Cheng Muhai returned.
So, grandfather hugged Xiao Yangyang, grandfather led Xiao Ranran, and took the third uncle to watch TV together.
Xue Ling had no choice but to stop him, so he turned around and went to the kitchen to help.
Cheng Tianyuan had already made more than a dozen small mung bean cakes. When he saw Xue Ling go in, he said, "You go and boil the water first. Use a lot of water at home in the afternoon. First, boil some and put it in the thermos, and then put it on the corner."
"Okay." Xue Ling hurriedly did as he did.
Liu Ying is making rice cakes and his movements are very skillful and fast.
"The stove here has already boiled. You can put water and boil it first, and steam it while doing it."
Xue Ling quickly helped.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "By the way, what should we eat at noon? What do you want to eat?"
Xue Ling glanced at it and said, "There are so many noodles here, so just make a ramen and everyone can eat a bowl of them."
Everyone ate early in the Mid-Autumn evening, and then ate fruits while waiting to watch the moon.
Since you have to eat early in the evening, it will not be delicious at noon, and it is good to eat too much. On the one hand, it will leave a little empty stomach for the evening.
"Then I have to make some soup." Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "I sent some steaks when I bought beef yesterday, and I was still hanging it outside. I'll get some to make it."
"You keep going, I'll do it." Xue Ling hurriedly went.
With her help, the rice cake and bean cake were soon ready.
Cheng Tianyuan was not satisfied with the mung bean cake, so he took some red beans and then made more than twenty more.
Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "Are you going to eat it as a mooncake?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Fry the crust first, fry it again when you want to eat it in the evening, and then use a clean cloth to suck out the oil. It should be quite delicious."
"It sounds pretty good, so let's do it." Xue Ling muttered: "No wonder he didn't buy mooncakes at home. He turned out to be made by himself."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "It's just a good deal, it's not difficult."
At this time, grandpa Cheng Muhai walked in and said, "Yang Yangyang's urine is wet and he is asleep. I carried him in and went to sleep."
"Have you changed the wet pants?" Xue Ling asked.
Cheng Muhai shook his head: "It's just a little wet, it's okay."
"That's not possible!" Liu Ying explained cautiously: "The weather is cold, and the wet urine is wet, and it is easy to catch cold when you fall asleep. There are so many small pants, not one, so change it quickly. The child is dry and sleeping.
Will be comfortable."
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said: "Go and help him change it."
Grandpa had to go there obediently.
At noon that day, Uncle Xue San stayed to eat ramen and ate a few freshly steamed rice cakes. He was very satisfied with the food.
After he had enough, he brought more than a dozen cakes and eight rice cakes and happily returned.
Cheng Tianyuan drove to the market and bought a lot of fruits and some ingredients, as well as a big lamb leg.
The lamb leg was very big, which made everyone confused.
Dad Xue guessed, "It must be about thirty kilograms?"
"No." Cheng Muhai carefully estimated and replied: "About twenty-five kilograms."
"Not bad." Cheng Tianyuan explained with a smile: "Twenty-six pounds are just right."
Dad Xue laughed, "Ayuan, go and slice it quickly, it looks very fresh! It should be delicious!"
Cheng Tianyuan should have done it, so he quickly went into the kitchen to prepare the sauce, made a large basin, and then sharpened the blade of mutton and put it into the basin to soak it.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Heng and Xue's mother came over.
Xue Heng lost weight a lot, his eyes were dark, almost like a panda. Xue’s mother picked up a bag of fruit and smiled and said that part of it was bought by herself and part of it was given by Zheng Sanyuan.
Everyone greeted him, and Dad Xue felt sorry for Xue Heng and whispered: "There are still a few hours before dinner. If you don't mind, close the door and go to my room for a sleep. You kid, all of you
Have been stayed for several nights, right?”
Xue Heng gestured three fingers and said in a daze: "Uncle, then I'll go to sleep for a while."
"Go and go." Dad Xue took him to the room, pulled the curtains up, and then opened the window.
Unexpectedly, just turned around and found that Xue Heng had fallen asleep on the bed.
Dad Xue smiled bitterly and shook his head, covered his stomach, and then quietly closed the door and left.
Liu Ying made braised pork and yam rolls. Because there were many people, he made two large plates, while Cheng Tianyuan prepared the main courses and desserts.
After Xue's mother washed her hands, she hurried into the kitchen to help.
"Ah? Why didn't you see the two children? Ling Ling took them out for fun?"
