Chu Xuanhuai, Xu Chenghou and others stopped her, and Su Anying sat down to eat.
Over there, several children had already eaten up a plate of prawns.
During the Chinese New Year reunion dinner, it was the first time that all the dishes were eaten.
But no one cared. Xu Chenghou smiled and watched his grandchildren eating, feeling more comfortable than eating in his own stomach.
After the shrimps were finished, there were still so many delicious things, so the children moved their positions and continued to eat other dishes.
When you can eat it, your digestion is good, everything you eat tastes delicious, and it is a good dish on this table. If you don’t eat it, what are you waiting for?
This year there are not only delicious food on the table, but also a lot of drinks, which Guo Shouye brought here.
In addition to the aerated ones, there are also blueberry juice, indigo juice, and the beverage factory's new winter product, iced grape juice.
In recent years, a ginseng farm has cooperated with the Forestry Bureau to use old ginseng fields and abandoned wasteland to develop various cash crops, including several mountain vineyards.
This fall, some mountain vineyards have begun to bear fruit, and the yield is not bad.
In the fall, I was too busy to pick them, so I picked them after the snow fell.
The juice extracted from mountain grapes that have been frozen by frost and snow is sweeter and has a unique flavor than those picked in autumn.
Guo Shouye specially sent some for the Xu family to drink during the New Year.
Several children each have a bottle of drink, eat two bites of food, and then have a sip of sweet and sour drink. This little life is so beautiful.
After a while, everyone’s stomachs became bloated after eating each one.
"No, I can't eat anymore." Even Xu Haiqing, the best eater, declared defeated.
Several adults shook their heads when they saw the children acting like that.
"You guys, how can you tell that you are full? You are obviously full of drink.
If you drink a lot of drinks, you won’t feel hungry again until night.”
What can be done? Anyway, there is a lot of food at home, so let’s do whatever we want, they won’t be hungry.
Children don't listen to adults at all, as long as they are full at the moment.
The reunion dinner was late, starting around four o'clock, and it was almost five o'clock now.
Xu Haiqing shouted that he wanted to watch TV.
A few days after Su Anying returned from Yangcheng, TV also came back.
Originally, Xu Shiyan said that he wanted to move the big TV to Chu Xuanhuai's room and the small one over.
Chu Xuanhuai refused, saying that he was used to looking at the younger ones, and felt dizzy after seeing the older ones.
Xu Shiyan knew that these were all excuses, but his master disagreed, and Xu Shiyan had no choice but to put the big TV in his room.
As soon as the big TV was installed, the children all came here to watch TV.
The big one looks great, the people inside are big, the picture quality is clear, and it’s comfortable to look at.
Xu Haiqing was anxious to watch TV. Xu Haiyuan went over to turn on the TV after obtaining the adult's consent.
During the winter vacation, the TV stations have more programs, but during this time, there are not many good TV programs. All over the world, Baiyuan, that's all.
"Oh, why are there no monkeys? I want to see monkeys, I want to see Sun Wukong."
As soon as Xu Haiqing watched those programs on TV, he cried and said.
The monkey Xu Haiqing talks about is naturally "Journey to the West".
Since all twenty-five complete episodes were released this year, my dear, all these children have become obsessed and want to watch monkeys all day long.
The same goes for Xu Haiqing. As soon as he turns on the TV, he wants to find monkeys, but the TV station has the final say. It is impossible to release monkeys every day.
"Is the TV station run by your family? You can watch whatever you want?
It would be nice to see some of them. If you continue to gibber, your dad will get angry. Be careful, he won't let you see anything."
Xu Jinping glared at her younger brother, some of them looked good.
This is the Chinese New Year. On a normal day, it would be less than six o'clock. Want to watch TV? Just dream.
Xu Haiqing was scolded by his sister and immediately stopped talking and sat there obediently watching TV.
For children of this age, television is still very attractive.
It doesn't matter what the show is, as long as there are people on the TV, everyone can watch it.
The children watched TV. Su Anying cleaned up the table and kitchen, and then she and Zhou Guilan chopped stuffing and noodles together to prepare dumplings.
This year's dumpling fillings, in addition to the must-have cabbage, radish, and pork fillings every year, there are also leek, elm, mushroom, and shrimp fillings.
Leeks and mushrooms are both grown on farms.
The two greenhouses on the farm do nothing else in winter except grow various vegetables for the family to eat during the New Year.
Anyway, they don't mean to make money, just for their own convenience.
The green leeks and the bright yellow elm mushrooms all exude an attractive aroma.
Then boil the frozen prawns in water, peel off the shells, remove the shrimp threads, cut them into small pieces, and mix them into the stuffing.
In order to prevent the vegetable filling from becoming watery and difficult to wrap, some meat filling is also mixed in.
The fillings of these dumplings don’t need to be cooked before they are eaten. They just smell fresh and taste really great.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy making noodles and cutting stuffing, while Xu Chenghou followed Chu Xuanhuai back to the east room to cook.
Especially Chu Xuanhuai, he is getting older after all, no matter how good his physique is, his mental state is always a little worse.
I have to go and stare for a while now, otherwise I will have an uncomfortable night.
Years ago, everyone took a bath in the bathhouse next to the Canshi Hotel.
There is no need to wash it in a big basin like in previous years, which saves a lot of trouble.
Xu Shiyan had nothing to do, so he stayed in the house with the children, watching TV and cracking melon seeds.
A few days ago, someone sent me a lot of frozen pears and persimmons, so I simply picked up a pot and soaked it in cold water.
It is said that New Year's Eve is the coldest time, but the Xu family can't tell how it feels.
As soon as winter comes, the windows are covered with cloth strips, a layer of window film is sealed on the outside, and a plastic shed is attached to the outside.
With this thermal insulation measure, three layers inside and outside, can it still be ventilated?
When I was cooking at noon, the kang was so hot that it burned my buttocks.
The boiler never stopped burning, and the radiator was hot to the touch.
Xu Haiyuan and the others were in the house, all wearing sweaters. They were still feeling too hot, so they just had some frozen pears to cool down and it was very comfortable.
At 6:25, the cartoon "Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse" started playing on the TV.
This time, Xu Haiqing stopped talking and stared at the TV intently, wishing he could get in.
"You all stay away from the TV and get on the bed. If anyone comes so close to the TV again, I won't let him watch."
Xu Shiyan had no choice but to lower his face and warn the children.
So, the children all got on the kang and sat down obediently to watch TV.
Donald Duck's exaggerated voice on TV made the children laugh, not to mention how happy they were.
"Listen, everyone, as long as there are cartoons, they will be happy.
This life is just a life with children.
You said that if there weren't these children making noises and just a few adults at home, even celebrating the New Year would be meaningless."
Zhou Guilan was making noodles in the kitchen. When she heard the laughter of the children in the room, she couldn't help laughing too.
How wonderful, living a good life means being popular.
If there are only two or three people here all day long, and there is not much movement, then what's the point?
