There are rewards everywhere in life

Chapter 156 Returning to the old house for the Chinese New Year!

"Sit down and have a rest first. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some meat, and I'll make dumplings later. If you're hungry, there are still biscuits at home. You can eat some to fill your belly."

Wang Xiuqin looked at Ye Xiaotian and said.

"Mom, don't bother, just eat whatever you want."

When Ye Xiaotian saw Wang Xiuqin's appearance of inspiring teachers and mobilizing the crowd, he couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

"You think it's just for you, we have to have a good meal."

Wang Xiuqin gave Ye Xiaotian a white look, and without waiting to talk to Ye Xiaotian, pushed the door and left.

Ye Xiaotian could only shake his head helplessly, and went to his bedroom to make the bed in his spare time.

Not long after, Wang Xiuqin opened the door and came back.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian also got up in time and left the bedroom, just after he came out, he saw Wang Xiuqin carrying a lot of things from the door to the house, Ye Xiaotian hurried forward to help, "Why did you buy so many things at once?
Are you done eating? "

"Got to buy more.

Meat is getting more and more expensive now, so buy more for a rainy day.

Not to mention that the price of meat is expensive now, but even the price of eggs is much more expensive. "

Wang Xiuqin complained.

In the past, even if Ye Xiaotian heard Wang Xiuqin nagging about the trivial things at home, he wouldn't take it to heart.

But Ye Xiaotian had also been in the hand pancake business, subconsciously thought that with the increase in the cost of selling hand pancakes, the profit would definitely drop.

However, Wang Xiuqin just mentioned a word without saying anything, and started busy making dumplings.

Ye Xiaotian also washed his hands and stepped forward to help.

"You just came back from the train, so you should sit there and watch TV and play with your mobile phone."

Seeing this, Wang Xiuqin wanted to push Ye Xiaotian away.

"It's okay, it's idle anyway.

Besides, there isn't much to watch on TV these days. "

Ye Xiaotian explained.

Wang Xiuqin also felt that it was not bad to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Ye Xiaotian after not seeing her son for such a long time, so she did not insist on it.

While preparing the stuffing and dough for making dumplings, Wang Xiuqin asked Ye Xiaotian how he was doing at school, whether he was tired from studying, and what he ate...

Although Wang Xiuqin had already asked these questions when Ye Xiaotian came home last time, and talked about them during the video call, Wang Xiuqin still couldn't help blurting out, as if she could only feel at ease when she got the answer from Ye Xiaotian with her own ears.

Kneading noodles, rolling dough, and mixing stuffing are still difficult technical tasks for Ye Xiaotian at present.

After all, the ratio of water to noodles should be paid attention to when making noodles. The noodles should not be too soft or too hard. The ratio of various vegetables and meat puree seasonings for dumpling fillings also needs to be controlled well.

Compared with the first three, the technical difficulty of making dumplings is much lower.

Although there is still a gap between Ye Xiaotian's level of making dumplings and Wang Xiuqin's, and who made them can be distinguished at a glance, but fortunately, as long as the dumplings can be wrapped well without revealing the filling, it is considered a success. Appearance is secondary.

When Wang Xiuqin and Ye Xiaotian mother and son were making dumplings and talking and laughing about their home and school, Ye Zhijiang opened the door and came back with a bunch of new year's goods.

"Why did you buy so many things back?"

Wang Xiuqin also caught a glimpse of what Ye Zhijiang brought back, and opened her mouth to ask.

"New Year benefits issued by the unit.

Moreover, the Chinese New Year is coming soon in a few days, and it is time to buy some new year's goods. "

Ye Zhijiang explained.

"Didn't you say that you will go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year when Xiaotian comes back?"

Wang Xiuqin was surprised.

"Then we can't go back empty-handed."

Ye Zhijiang laughed.

Wang Xiuqin nodded.

Ye Zhijiang brought home a box of wine and apples, and even bought a lot of melon seeds, candy and other dried fruits.

If it was during the Chinese New Year before, Ye Xiaotian would definitely go forward and take it apart to try something new without saying a word.

However, as Ye Xiaotian grew up, he no longer had this sense of freshness.

However, Ye Xiaotian is not surprised to go back to the suburbs for the New Year. After all, in the past few years, he always went back to his hometown in the countryside to celebrate the New Year. Moreover, there are old houses in the countryside, so there is no need to worry about having nowhere to go home.

At the same time, compared to living in the city to celebrate the New Year, the suburbs and the countryside are more flavorful.

The next day, early in the morning.

After breakfast, Ye Xiaotian's family packed their luggage and prepared to go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year.

Although the old house is located in the suburbs, with the increasing speed of urbanization, the city is also spreading to the suburbs, and the roads from the city to the suburbs are also being built rapidly. I am afraid that in a few years, the suburbs will follow disappeared with the process of urbanization.

It has to be said that the most obvious manifestation of the acceleration of urbanization is the rapid advancement of infrastructure.

It used to take a long time to turn east and west to return to the old house, but now it takes more than an hour to see the village from a distance.

Ye Xiaotian's family first returned to their self-built bungalow in the village. They needed to clean up the house before they could meet people.

I thought that after returning home, I needed a thorough cleaning before I could live in people.

However, when I opened the door and went in, I didn't expect it to be much cleaner than expected, as if it had been cleaned, and with a little cleaning, it would be ready for people to live in.

"Did Mom and Dad come to clean the house for us?"

Wang Xiuqin scanned around and asked.

"should be."

Ye Zhijiang nodded.

Since Ye Xiaotian's family moved to the city, they would only return to the suburban house for a period of time during the New Year and holidays. Therefore, they also left the key of this house to Ye Xiaotian's grandparents. Ye Xiaotian's family will come back early for the New Year to clean up.

"Then let's save trouble now, pack up our luggage, and let's go to the old house to have a look."

Ye Zhijiang walked around the room, saw that there was no place that needed their cleaning, so he said.

Going to the old house obviously cannot go empty-handed.

Ye Zhijiang was carrying a box of wine, Wang Xiuqin was carrying the dried fruits that Ye Zhijiang brought back yesterday, and split them in half. Even Ye Xiaotian was not empty-handed, with a box of milk in his hand. The family of three walked towards the old house in a mighty manner. .

At this time, it has already entered the twelfth lunar month, the weather has turned cold, and the wind blowing on the face is chilly.

"Zhijiang's family is back for the New Year?

Is this going to visit the old house? "

He ran into someone who was acquainted with Ye Zhijiang under the same lintel.

"Yes, I just came back and went to the old house to have a look.

What about you, where are you going? "

Ye Zhijiang greeted with a smile.

"Go to the back of the village and push a tree root home to light a fire for warmth."

The other party explained while pointing to the back of the village.

"Okay, then you are busy first, and we can talk later."

Ye Zhijiang nodded, and after a brief exchange of greetings, he took Ye Xiaotian and Wang Xiuqin to the old house.
