The happy little days of the Ye family

Today is New Year's Eve, and Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing got up early.

After breakfast, Ye Qingqing took out the red lanterns, window grilles and couplets he bought earlier.

Ye Qingqing bought two pairs of red lanterns and planned to hang one pair at the entrance and the other pair at the entrance of the hall. They looked beaming with joy.

Tang Xiaojing took out the wooden ladder, and the father and son went to hang the lanterns together, while Ye Qingqing got up and went to the kitchen to make paste.

"Whoa, whoa..."

"Whoa, whoa..."

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I heard the sound of a little puppy bleating.

Ye Qingqing walked to the stove. There were a lot of straw beside the firewood, and Xiao Huang was lying on the little one breastfeeding.

A few days ago, Xiao Huang gave birth to three chubby puppies, one was pure black, one was light yellow like Xiao Huang, and the other was yellow-black.

Ye Qingqing thought to himself, sweet potatoes are brown, and Xiaohuang is light yellow. How could a pure black puppy be born? Could it be that the father of these little guys has another dog?

Most of the dogs in the village are yellow, and Ye Qingqing rarely sees pure black dogs in his impression.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Xiao Huang had plenty of milk, and the three little ones were all chubby. Seeing the three chubby little puppies drinking milk hard, Ye Qingqing felt like she was being turned into a cute person.

The black puppy was particularly fat, and it was even more ferocious when it came to feeding. While eating, it also squeezed away the other brothers and sisters around it, which was very domineering.

The two little guys next to me didn't get angry when they were pushed away. After whimpering twice in grievance, they turned around and continued to feed elsewhere.

Yesterday, Ye Xilin came over to see these little guys. He took a fancy to the little black puppy at a glance and wanted to take it back to raise it, but was driven away ruthlessly by Ye Qingqing.

Of these three little guys, except for the light yellow one ordered by Ye Qingmei, she planned to keep the remaining two for herself.

Especially the black one, it was Ye Qingqing's treasure, and he would come over to see it several times a day.

But Ye Xilin was just talking. Xueqiu at home had just given birth to a litter of puppies a few days ago.

Among them were two little white puppies. Ye Xilin liked them so much that he planned to send one to the Li family to make Li Guoer happy after the little ones stopped breastfeeding.

Ye Qingqing squatted in front of the stove, looking at the little guys sucking milk hard, with the raised corners of his mouth never coming down.

"so cute."

After watching for a while, Ye Qingqing finally remembered that she was here to make paste, so she quickly cleaned the big iron pot and started boiling water.

When Ye Qingqing brought out the paste, the father and son had already hung up the red lanterns and were arranging pairs of couplets.

Ye Qingqing bought a lot of couplets and planned to put a pair on every door, as well as window grilles, which he would put on every window.

After putting up the couplets and window grilles, the three of them went to Ye's house next door to help with the work.

The two families agreed to celebrate the New Year together and have New Year's Eve dinner together at Ye's house in the evening.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing couldn't cook, so they consciously went to the backyard to kill chickens and geese with Ye Xilin.

Father Ye on the side was killing a large grass carp weighing 6 pounds.

At this time, Mr. Ye and Ye Donglin were posting couplets. Father Ye asked Lao Tongsheng to write couplets and brought back a lot of them.

As soon as Ye Qingqing entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of meatballs.

Ye Qingqing walked slowly to the kitchen and saw Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu frying various kinds of meatballs.

Mrs. Ye was kneading the dough on the chopping board, preparing to fry the small twists later.

Seeing that her daughter was heavy, Ye's mother did not dare to let her work. She brought a small bench over and asked Ye Qingqing to sit on it and light the fire.

"The meatballs are almost ready. Don't make the fire too high. Just fry them slowly over low heat."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm a professional at lighting fires."

Ye Qingqing was at home during this period, lighting fires for Wang Chunyu and Ye Mu every day, and had become very good at controlling the heat.

"You girl, you're a ghost."

The Ye family was very lively at this time. Everyone was performing their duties and no one dared to be lazy. After a while, all kinds of tempting fragrances came out.

The first dish Ye Mu cooks is braised large grass carp, which is more than enough every year, indicating that the coming year will be prosperous.

The second dish is Chinese cabbage stewed with dried shrimps and scallops. The cabbage is the same as Bai Cai, which indicates that you will make a lot of money in the coming year.

The third dish is a hard dish, a big pot of fragrant mutton stew. I hope that in the coming year everyone will enjoy the spicy food and live a happy life.

The other must-haves every year are plain-cut chicken, braised goose, braised rabbit, braised pork ribs with dried mushrooms, fried squid with celery and boiled lettuce.

The soup is chicken soup stewed with dried bamboo fungus.

The aroma in the kitchen was getting stronger and stronger, and Ye Qingqing was drooling while lighting the fire. Mother Ye saw that her daughter was greedy, so she fed her two pieces from time to time to let her taste it.

Not only the kitchen, but also the whole yard was filled with the rich and tempting aroma of meat. The sweet potatoes, snowballs and rhubarb were so greedy that they all stood at the door of the kitchen and drooled.

Even Xiao Huang in the next door room was so greedy that he moaned.

But before eating, he had to set off firecrackers. Tang Xiaojing took a large basin of chicken soup for Xiao Huang to make rice and hurried back to the Tang family next door.

Tang Xiaojing first brought Xiao Huang's meal over, and then lit the firecrackers prepared in advance. There were bursts of firecrackers at the door of the Tang family.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of firecrackers sounded at the door of Ye's house, and then a series of firecrackers sounded nearby, as well as bursts of children's laughter.

All kinds of delicious dishes cooked by Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu filled the whole table, and the family sat around and started to eat the family reunion dinner.

Ye's father also brought out a jar of good rice wine, and Ye's mother also brought out a bottle of green plum wine specially exchanged with Aunt Tang.

The family ate delicious food and drank wine. The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until the moon climbed up the treetops.

Last time Ye Xilin drank at Li's house and fell unconscious, he felt a little embarrassed.

After finishing the meal, I specifically asked Father Ye for a large bowl of rice wine, intending to practice his drinking so that he could earn back his face the next time he went back to the Li family.

"Can you please, don't waste my good wine." Father Ye felt very distressed as he poured the wine.

"Why not? Hurry up and pour the wine, fill it up, fill it up."

Ye Xilin picked up a large bowl of rice wine and drank hard. After half a bowl of rice wine, he lay down on the table and couldn't get up.

The remaining half bowl of rice wine in his hand was also spilled, which made Father Ye feel very distressed.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have poured wine for you, a useless brat.

Ye Donglin saw Ye Xilin fell down after drinking half a bowl of rice wine, and laughed again:

"Hahahaha, this kid is so useless."

But ridicule was ridicule, Ye Donglin still carried Ye Xilin back to the house, and covered him with a quilt before leaving.
