Mo Niang pulled Jiang Luorou to the table and sat down, while she went to the cabinet to get red paper and scissors.

Sitting next to Jiang Luorou, she picked up the scissors and cut the red paper into a suitable size.

After some folding, Mo Niang took the scissors and cut them up and down on the red paper.

Not long after, Mo Niang stopped the scissors and carefully unfolded them on the table.

Well, I haven’t handled these things for a long time and my hands are a little rusty.

But it’s not a shame if the cut is still readable.

Pointing to the window grilles on the table, he said to Jiang Luorou: "Come and take a look. Are these things missing on the windows?"

Jiang Luorou looked at the table and saw a pair of window grilles with lace and the word "Fu" placed there flatly.

Is this something that can be cut by human hands? It’s so pretty too.

He sincerely praised: "Mo Niang, your hands are so skillful, you can do anything."

Mo Niang seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "What does this mean? When it comes to paper-cutting skills, I have to count my wet nurse as the best. Everything she cuts is vivid.

She taught me these superficial skills, so they are nothing. "

As he spoke, his smile gradually disappeared, and there seemed to be an indescribable sadness in his eyes. He sighed softly and said, "I don't know if she is doing well now..."

Seeing this, Jiang Luorou quickly patted Mo Niang's back and comforted her softly: "Auntie, she is a lucky person, she must be safe and sound.

Don't add to your troubles here. "

Then he took out the handkerchief and handed it to Mo Niang: "Come and wipe your tears. What does it look like to cry during the Chinese New Year?

Let the children see it and think I bullied you. I will not take the blame. "

When Mo Niang heard this, she took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced out a smile.

"As you said, the wet nurse will definitely be there, waiting for me to return and fulfill my filial piety.

Come on, let's continue cutting the window grilles. "

After Mo Niang finished speaking, she continued to cut the window grilles with the scissors. After a while, she cut out several pairs of window grilles with great meanings.

There are fish playing with lotus flowers every year, there is wealth and peace with peonies in the vase, there is a shed of gourd vines hanging fruits, and there is a small table below with a butterfly and longevity peach on it.

Before Mo Niang's hand stopped, exquisite window decorations appeared on the table.

After cutting the paper, Jiang Luorou and Mo Niang came to the window and started to put up the window grilles.

At this time, there were knocks on the door from outside, and Jiang Luorou had no choice but to get up and open the door.

I saw Bai Cai standing outside the door with a carriage. When he saw Jiang Luorou coming out, he stepped forward to say hello.

Jiang Luorou had no choice but to return the gift and say hello. After some questioning, she learned that Bai Cai was here to deliver New Year's gifts for Mr. Bai.

Baskets and items were carried into the house.

After moving the things, Bai Cai stood up and was about to leave.

Jiang Luorou politely asked to stay: "Since Brother Bai Cai is here, just go inside and have a cup of tea before leaving."

Bai Cai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, there are many things going on in the New Year's Palace today and it's really inconvenient to stay here any longer. Let's talk some other time." After saying that, he got on the carriage and got up to leave.

After Jiang Luorou saw the carriage go away, she closed the door and returned home to continue putting up the window grilles.

After putting up the window grilles, Jiang Luorou turned her attention to the baskets of things.

Various fresh fruits, mutton, beef, shrimps, hairy crabs, a few hairtail fish, and various vegetables that are not available in this season.

Jiang Luorou drooled when she looked at the crisp lettuce. It wasn't that there wasn't anything in the space, it was just that it wasn't the right time to take it out now.

Beef, mutton, lettuce, fried tofu, kelp, mushrooms... I really want to eat hot pot.

Just do it as you say, pulling Mo Niang along and getting busy in the kitchen.

Jiang Luorou removed the spines from the fish and chopped it into minced fish, chopped the beef into minced meat, marinated it, added an appropriate amount of starch and water, cooked it and made it into meatballs.

Cut the mutton into thin slices and prepare various dishes.

Started preparing dishes again, including fried hairtail, steamed hairy crabs, stir-fried shrimps...

The two people who were busy in the kitchen heard another knock on the door. Jiang Luorou couldn't help but asked Mo Niang to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the yard suddenly became lively.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao entered the yard, she pointed to the window grilles on the window and said to Jiang Luorou: "Your yard is decorated for a festival, and the flowers are cut to look like real ones."

Sister-in-law Li praised: "Mother Zicheng, I asked you why you are not good at needlework? It turns out that all your hard work is spent on this."

Jiang Luorou hurriedly replied: "Sister-in-law, please stop teasing me. How can I have such skillful hands? My mother Mo cut these."

Naturally, the two of them held Mo Niang's hand and praised her again and again. They also asked Mo Niang for a fat doll with a carp in its arms in order to have both children and a daughter.

Mo Niang naturally agreed, and turned back to the main room to cut the window grilles.

Jiang Luorou pretended to be slightly angry and said, "You two sent all my helpers away and you didn't come over to help."

"Come here." Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li rolled up their sleeves and walked towards the room. "

At this time, Jiang Luorou was sitting on a stool, peeling the prawns.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li entered the kitchen, they saw many ingredients they had never seen before, and they were naturally curious.

Mrs. Zhao pointed at the prawn and asked curiously: "Brother and sister, what is that in your hand?"

"This is a prawn." Jiang Luorou said casually.

I have seen shrimps myself, and there are many of them in the river in late spring and early summer. There are no shrimps this big.

"Brothers and sisters, please don't lie to me. I have never seen such a big shrimp before."

"These are prawns in the sea, so they are naturally bigger," Jiang Luorou replied casually.

Sister-in-law Li looked at the hairtail in the basin and said, "This strange-looking fish is also from the sea!" Then she reached out and touched the head of the hairtail.

Seeing this, Jiang Luorou stopped her quickly: "Sister-in-law, please stop, this fish will bite."

Sister-in-law Li hurriedly took back her hand and said fearfully: "Here, this fish is probably possessed by a ghost. How can it still bite people after it is dead? Throw it away as soon as I'm afraid it can't be eaten."

Although Zhao didn't say anything, her expression showed that she was scared.

Jiang Luorou had no choice but to explain to them, and then she was able to dispel her doubts.

Only then did the two of them sit down and help Jiang Luorou.

At this time, Brother Li and Ningtang also came in from outside. Just as they wanted to come in to help, Jiang Luorou and the others kicked them out.

The two of them were not idle when they went out, chopping firewood and feeding cattle.

With the help of Sister-in-law Li, Mother Mo and Mrs. Zhao, the meal was quickly prepared.

Several people started to work again to set up the table, set the dishes and chopsticks, and serve the food.

Ning Tang and Brother Li each held a firecracker and lit it at the door.

There was a crackling sound, and the New Year's Eve dinner began.

In the candlelit hall, there is a table for children and a table for adults.

In the middle of the adults' table was a steaming pot, which whetted everyone's appetite.

Questions were thrown out one after another, and Jiang Luorou naturally answered them one by one.

After their doubts were dispelled, the group gathered around the table and started using their chopsticks. Naturally, the first thing they tasted was the hot pot with red oil floating in the middle of the table.
