The sun was almost setting in the afternoon, and she knew Li Yunshan was back when Heizi screamed and ran out excitedly.

Before she could go out, someone came in from the door.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Why so late?"

"It's the end of the year, and there are so many people buying rice that they have been waiting in line for a long time." Li Yunshan said, "The town is very lively right now. I heard that there will be a stage on the third day of the year."

"I haven't seen the show yet. Have you seen it?" she asked Li Yunshan.

Li Yunshan nodded, "It's been several years, and everyone in town has watched it."

After speaking, he glanced at her again and said, "It's too far. Let's look at it again when we have a chance."

"I know." It was one thing for her to be curious, but she didn't have to go.

Li Yunshan took out the rice from the basket, which was almost as much as what they bought last time.

"how much?"

"Twenty, here are seven buckets."

"This year the cabbages are white again." She said with a smile.

Li Yunshan also smiled, "It's the New Year. If you eat well, your life will be better next year."

He nodded and said, "Sit down and take a rest." Then he carried the rice to the grain house.

When she came back, Li Yunshan was already lying on the bed. She put the mushrooms into the pot and stir-fried, then added water. When the water boiled, she cut the kneaded noodles into thin slices with a knife and put them into the pot to cook. When the rice was boiling, she added some salt to taste. , Li Yunshan got up by himself without her shouting.

During the meal, she said, "Xiaoxia came as soon as you walked today."

Li Yunshan kept eating and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Mao Xiaosui thought about what she said and guessed, "It feels like it has something to do with grandma. I don't know the specifics. Anyway, when she said it, she asked me to talk back with soft words, and then she left after I had nothing to say."

"Don't worry." Li Yunshan didn't care.

She asked tentatively, "You won't let grandma live in our house, will you?"

These words would make an ordinary man fly into a rage, but Li Yunshan would not. This man's mood is more stable than most people, and he would not take action if he was unhappy.

"No." Li Yunshan said with certainty, "You probably don't have a bad temper. I think we can live a good life like this. It will be troublesome if she really makes a fuss."

"I do hold a grudge." She curled her lips, "We are at odds anyway."

"I can tell." Li Yunshan said, "I am actually annoyed with her, but after all, I am an elder. If I really want to make trouble with you, I can't just push her like others."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, this is the truth.

After running around all day, Li Yunshan went to bed first after eating. She washed the pot and went to bed after the door was blocked.

The reason for vomiting in the morning is that Li Yunshan has been sleeping inside lately, she is sleeping outside, and Heizi is lying next to the clay stove.

_

She slept until dawn, before Li Yunshan woke up. She used hay to heat the clay stove, boiled water in the pot, and then went to feed the chickens and rabbits. When she came out of the backyard, she heard the sound of cannons in the direction of Chenjiacun. .

Even on the New Year's Day, there were very few people setting off cannons near the village, not to mention that it wasn't the New Year yet.

After the cannon went off, there was no movement. Li Xiao's daughter-in-law, Wang Yan, also heard the noise and came out to watch the fun, and asked, "Auntie, have you had breakfast?"

"No, why are you so early?"

"It's getting late." Wang Yan replied with a smile, "Auntie, I'm going to feed the chickens."

"Go." She also entered the house.

Li Yunshan was already awake in the house. When he saw her coming in, he asked, "Whose house is setting off cannons?"

"Which village over there from the Chen family is not listening carefully."

Li Yunshan lay down for a while and got up after she finished washing.

Mao Xiaosui poured the remaining hot water in the pot into the basin for him to wash up. After cooking the porridge, he started cleaning the house.

The bedding was arranged, the table was wiped, and the wooden shelves moved from the kitchen were wiped. The water that Li Yunshan had washed his face was sprinkled on the floor, and then the floor was swept after the water seeped down.

This is the only thing we have to do every day at home. After cleaning up, we sit and wait for dinner.

Not long after the meal, Zhang Zhi came. When he walked in, he asked, "Do you have any noodles at home? Lend me one."

"Yes." Mao Xiaosui stood up and took a piece from the jar on the shelf to her, and asked, "Are you going to steam buns so soon?"

"Hurry and clean up while the weather is fine, in case it snows and freezes to death."

Mao Xiaosui originally thought of doing it a day or two ago, and it made sense to hear what she said.

Zhang Zhi hurried back, grabbed some introductions and left.

Li Yunshan said, "It may snow in the next two days, so we might as well prepare early."

"Knead the dough in the afternoon. The house is warm. It will be ready in an afternoon and evening." She got up and went to the food room to take some soft-skinned vegetables that she had not picked before. She poured them all into a basin and soaked them in hot water from the pot. After a while.

Wait until the soft-skinned vegetables are soft, wash them twice, then take them out and carefully select them.

The table was set aside, and the two of them sat facing each other and working.

Li Yunshan said, "There are still a few episodes left, and business will not be bad during the Chinese New Year. I will sell them again then, and I can make some money."

"Okay." She nodded, "You can figure it out. I'll make the steamed buns and some food in the next few days."

In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time. Mao Xiaosui soaked half a pot of mushrooms in boiling water, chopped the mushrooms into pieces, put two drops of sesame oil in the pot, stir-fried a few times and added water.

Knead half a bowl of white flour into a dough and roll it into a thin round cake, cut it into four parts with a knife, put it together and cut it into small pieces, then put it into the soup and boil it. After boiling, season with salt and remove from the pot.

Li Yunshan got up and dug out a chopstick of salted green onions and came back to eat.

After dinner, Mao Xiaosui washed the pot and boiled water.

There was still half a bag of last year's white flour, so she dug out two and a half pots.

Pour all the remaining noodles in the pot into a soup pot and dissolve with warm water. Stir with chopsticks and pour it into the noodles in batches. Stir with chopsticks while pouring. Mix the noodles into a flocculent shape and then knead them into a smooth texture. Dump the dough, cover the basin with a cloth and place it on a wooden stand to rise.

Seeing the honey jar on the wooden shelf, Mao Xiaosui asked Li Yunshan, who was picking soft-skinned vegetables, "Do you want to eat sugar cakes?"

"Eat." Li Yunshan replied to her.

Mao Xiaosui dug out another half bowl of noodles and came back, and also blocked the courtyard gate.

Scald the white flour with boiling water, knead it into a ball, and roll it out into small doughs. Put the rolled out dough into the palm of your hand, put a small spoonful of honey in it, pinch it tightly, and then gently roll it into a palm-sized round cake.

Brush a layer of sesame oil into the pan, put the cake in and fry over low heat.

Li Yunshan stood up and took a sip of water. He stopped moving his hands and stared at the cakes in the pot.

The noodles are blanched and rolled out thinly, and both sides are quickly browned to golden brown.

She took out the cake and put it on a plate. Li Yunshan was not afraid of burning it, so he picked it up and broke it open.

There isn't much honey in the middle of the dough, and part of it has seeped into the dough, making it taste sweet.

Li Yunshan finished half the cake in two mouthfuls, and said with unfinished content, "There's a little less honey."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and said, "This is my first time making honey. I'm afraid that if I put too much honey, it will leak and burn the pot."

The lack of honey really didn’t taste good, so she put three spoonfuls into the second cake. The crust was a little thicker than the first one, but fortunately it wasn’t broken. After tearing it open, the honey in the middle would flow out, making it sweet in the mouth. It's sizzling and fragrant.

Only four noodles were cooked out of half a bowl of noodles. After eating, the two began to pick out the soft-skin vegetables.
