When Zhang Peng came back from sending people, the house was almost tidied up. Zhang Peng threw the remaining bones to Rhubarb outside, while Xiaohong received special treatment, including leftover soup, steamed noodles, and steamed buns.
There is still some meat in it, so there is no harm in this treatment without comparison.
As for Rhubarb and the others, they were given the treatment of adding some vegetable soup to the hot corn noodles. However, although it was not a good vegetable rice, Rhubarb and the others were not picky eaters and the food was delicious.
Time flies by very quickly, and soon it’s New Year’s Eve. When Zhang Peng got up in the morning, he found light snowflakes floating outside. There has been very little snow this winter, so it would be better to have some light snow during the New Year.
The implication is that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
"Mom and Dad, have a great New Year," Zhang Peng said when he got up and saw Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen working in the outhouse.
"Haha, happy New Year," Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen said with smiles after hearing Zhang Peng's words.
"Hurry up and wash your face, and then we'll have dinner." Wang Xiufen also said to Zhang Peng.
"Okay," Zhang Peng agreed, and then went to the washbasin stand to wash up.
After washing up, Zhang Peng went to the east room and found that Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan, who were very promising today, had already gotten up, wearing new clothes and tying their hair.
"You two got up early enough today," Zhang Peng said to the two of them.
"Brother, you are so lazy. We got up early, but you weren't up yet at that time," Zhang Xiaoxia said to Zhang Peng.
"Haha, yes, I got up late today," Zhang Peng said with a smile
Then Zhang Peng also walked into the yard and looked at Xiaohong and their mother. Zhang Peng had moved them out yesterday, and then slightly thickened the surroundings of the kennel. At least there would be no more air leakage.
The inside of the nest is also covered with several layers of torn sacks.
When we first moved them out, the little jackals seemed a little uncomfortable with the temperature. After Xiaohong entered the nest, they all stayed next to Xiaohong, and then they settled down.
Dahuang was obviously very interested in this nest of little jackals. He always looked at Xiaohong's nest with furtive eyes, just wanting to get in front of Xiaohong's nest. However, he was discovered by Zhang Peng. After cleaning up twice,
Then it stopped. It’s not the fault of the rhubarb. It didn’t know how much the jackal had eaten. It was because of Xiaohong. If there was no Xiaohong, it would definitely be a mouthful without ambiguity.
After Zhang Peng checked around and saw that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved and then turned around and returned to the house.
"Mom, have they fed rhubarb?" Zhang Peng asked.
"We've finished feeding them. When you get up to feed them, Rhubarb and the others will be in pity," Wang Xiufen said jokingly.
"Hey, when are you going to eat? I'm already hungry." Zhang Peng also changed the subject, and then said to Wang Xiufen.
"Hurry up and put the table down so you can eat," Wang Xiufen said to Zhang Peng.
Breakfast is very simple. I made some hot porridge, steamed buns with mixed noodles, garlic eggplant and pickles. This meal on the morning of New Year's Eve is relatively simple, and the highlight is at noon and evening.
After breakfast, there was nothing else to do. Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen were both sitting on the kang. The things they needed for lunch had been prepared last night and were all ready-made, so there was no rush. Zhang Peng was lying on the kang and kowtow.
I was chatting and eating with Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xiufen.
Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan were playing wildly outside. They couldn't stay idle. It was snowing outside, and they piled snow together to make a snowman.
After a while, a small snowman took shape. The two of them patted the snow on their hands, sighed and returned to the house.
"Haha, you must be freezing." Zhang Peng looked at Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan who entered the room and said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan ignored Zhang Peng, quickly took off their shoes, and then got into the kang, ready to dress up Xiaobao a little.
At this moment, the door outside was opened, and Zhao Chunming walked in with a smile.
"Uncle, aunt, second brother, and sisters, have a good New Year," Zhao Chunming said to everyone with a smile as he entered the room.
"Oh, happy New Year, this kid came here so early," Wang Xiufen said to Zhao Chunming with a smile.
"Hey, my mom is preparing things at home, and my dad is helping me. It's not interesting for me to be the only one left," Zhao Chunming said with a smile.
"How many dishes will your mother prepare today?" Wang Xiufen asked.
"My mother said there are eight dishes this year, what about you?" Zhao Chunming asked.
"There are only eight of us. We originally wanted to make ten, but then I thought about it and let it go. We can't eat all that much, and the leftovers won't taste good," Wang Xiufen said with a smile.
"Well, that's true, my mother said so too," Zhao Chunming also said with a smile.
"Second brother, if you have nothing to do, let's go out for a walk," Zhao Chunming said to Zhang Peng.
"That's okay, there's no point in staying around anyway," Zhang Peng thought for a while and said.
"Go ahead. When you come back, go to your Uncle Zhao's house and invite him over. We agreed that he will celebrate the New Year at our house this year." Zhang Tiejun also reminded Zhang Peng and said.
"Okay, I understand, Dad," Zhang Peng also replied.
Then Zhang Peng put on his hat and gloves and followed Zhao Chunming out. Zhang Tiejun didn't stay long before he got up and prepared the offerings. As usual, the three generations will be offered this year, and the Baojiaxian will also put out tributes.
.
Offering to the Three Generations is a wooden table. This table is an offering table. It is close to the wall. There is red paper on the wall with the words "Zhang's Offering to the Three Generations" written on it. In front of the red paper, steamed buns are placed in a tower shape, and then there are chickens and chickens on the left and right.
Fish, this is the standard three-generation offering table.
Zhang Tiejun arranged the prepared chickens and fish, then burned three sticks of incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times. This was to invite the three generations back to enjoy the fireworks during the New Year, and then send the three generations away after the New Year. p>
Wang Xiufen is also ready to start packing. The stew will take some time. Once the stew is almost done, it can be stir-fried after being poured out.
After Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming came out, they first went to Wang Xiaoli's house. When they entered the house, Wang Xiaoli was busy outside.
"Second brother, Chunming, you came here so early," Wang Xiaoli said happily when he saw the two of them.
"It's not the Chinese New Year for us, come and see her big breasts," Zhang Peng said to Wang Xiaoli.
Then they entered the east room, where Wang Xiaoli's grandma was sitting and rubbing her shoes. When she saw them entering the room, she smiled and said hello.
"Big breasts, have a great New Year," Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming said to Grandma Wang Xiaoli on the kang.
"Okay, okay" Grandma Wang Xiaoli replied with a smile.
Grandma Wang Xiaoli also looked at them on the kang with a smile.
"Are you guys ready at home?" Wang Xiaoli's grandma asked with a smile.
"We're almost ready. My mom started preparing last night, so there's nothing to do today," Zhang Peng explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's ok, come here and have something to eat first," Grandma Wang Xiaoli said to Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming with a smile.
"No, Big Nai, we have to go to another house, so let's go first," Zhang Peng also said to Wang Xiaoli's grandma.
