Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

New Year's Eve.

After lunch, Li Yunshan took the bones to the yard and smashed them with a firewood axe.

The bones were thick and hard, and there were no cracks after being hit several times in a row, but the shock made Li Yunshan's arms numb.

Mao Xiaosui was afraid that the bones and scum would hit her, so she left only her head outside and called him, "Just chop it."

"It will damage the blade." Li Yunshan swung the ax and smashed it again. After seven or eight blows in a row, it finally cracked, and after a few more hits, it was completely broken.

Li Yunshan brought the bones in and washed them with water. He then put the pig's feet on the fire and burned them. He used a knife to scrape off the black stuff on the surface. After washing them again, he took them to the kitchen to cook with the bones. .

He smashed the remaining bones and put them away. After packing them up, he entered the house and saw Mao Xiaosui holding some dried beans in his hand.

Ask "Where did it come from?"

"It's from my aunt's house." Mao Xiaosui said, "I soak some and fry it in oil. The bibimbap is very fragrant."

Li Yunshan had no objection and washed his hands carefully with soap. He went to the kitchen to add firewood and when he came back he said, "The lard is soaked."

"Let's do it after the New Year." Mao Xiaosui said.

She soaked the dried beans in a small pot, grabbed some Sichuan peppercorns and pounded them in a stone mortar.

Li Yunshan sat on the edge and watched her busy, and asked, "Will you kill the fish later when the rice is cooked?"

"Okay." She said.

In the afternoon, every household in the village is preparing New Year's dinner, and the aroma of oil wafts out of the village.

When he felt that the time was almost up, he steamed the rice. Li Yunshan killed a fish. Mao Xiaosui put oil in a small pot, threw in two peppercorns and fried the fish until both sides were browned. Pour a little salt water with boiling water and pour it on. Add the shredded green onion, cover the lid of the tandoor and simmer over low heat.

After the fish came out of the pot, Mao Xiaosui cut the soaked dried beans into small dices, dug out a spoonful of lard residue, and half a pot of mushrooms, which were also cut into dices.

Put a little lard in the pot, beat two eggs in the pot, fry the eggs and put them out. Pour in the oil residue and the rest of the vegetables and stir-fry. Finally, put the eggs in, season with salt and pepper, and finally throw in a handful of green onions. Crush and remove from pot.

When the gastrodia was dark, Li Yunshan lit an oil lamp, took out the cooked pig's feet and bones from the kitchen pot, threw in the cabbage and mushrooms, and added salt and chopped green onion to season.

The New Year's Eve dinner for two people consisted of three dishes, one soup and one rice, and they were all large portions.

Li Yunshan brought Heizi's dog bowl in, threw in two dry food mountain rats that Heizi had prepared for him before, and ate the meat from the pig bones and the marrow in the bones before throwing them to him.

The mountain rat was only a little bigger when dried, and the sunspots disappeared after a few mouthfuls. Since it was the Chinese New Year, Li Yunshan simply gave it some more, as well as some bone soup and vegetables.

After eating and drinking enough, Heizi hugged the bones and began to chew on them.

Li Yunshan came back with the unfinished wine from last year, poured himself a glass, and made a bowl of honey water for Mao Xiaosui.

The two sat face to face, separated by the oil lamp in the middle of the table. Li Yunshan raised his cup and said with a smile, "Happy New Year's Eve."

Mao Xiaosui touched the bowl with him and said with a smile, "Happy New Year's Eve, next year will be better..."

Li Yunshan drank the wine in the cup without pouring any more. He got up and went to rummage in the closet.

Mao Xiaosui didn't say anything like he was messed up, he just stared at him.

When he came back with a green hairband, he smiled, reached out and took it, and asked, "When did you buy it?"

"When buying rice." Li Yunshan asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." She smiled and took off the dusty hair tie and tied the new one on.

One section of the hairband was draped over her shoulders. She reached out and flicked it and asked, "Does it look good?"

Li Yunshan stared, and finally nodded with a smile, "It looks good, whatever you wear looks good."

"I like it too." She smiled happily.

The room was warm, and the two of them were eating and chatting leisurely. The sound of people stepping on the snow "creak, creak" came from the yard.

When Li Yunqiang opened the door and came in, he was stunned when he saw them still eating. He smiled and said, "Why haven't you finished eating yet?"

The two of them didn't actually eat much and kept talking.

Li Yunshan held the bowl and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't we agree to drink together? If I don't see you coming down, I'll come and take a look."

"I don't drink." Li Yunshan said, "I just had a few drinks, and I will get drunk if I drink any more."

"It's so easy to get drunk. I'll help you up when you're drunk."

Li Yunshan still shook his head: "You guys drink."

Mao Xiaosui also smiled and said, "We just had dinner, do you want some?"

Li Yunqiang shook his head, "Then you eat quickly." Then he said to Li Yunshan, "Brother, please finish eating. I'll wait for you to drink."

"I won't drink." Li Yunshan already frowned.

The smile on Li Yunqiang's face was a little unbearable, and he said, "We haven't talked together for a long time. It's the Chinese New Year, so we two brothers can chat for a while."

Li Yunshan still shook his head, "I'm worried about your sister-in-law being alone."

"I asked Xiaoxia to come up and accompany her."

Mao Xiaosui didn't say anything, and Li Yunqiang didn't wait for his response. He just said "Hurry up" and left.

Mao Xiaosui snorted, and the meaning of his smile was unclear, "I am determined to tell you about digging a nest..."

Li Yunshan wasn't too happy when he saw it, and just said, "It's such a troublesome scene, and the quarrel will be endless."

"Block the door." She said. Normally, the door should not be blocked during the Chinese New Year, but such a bad thing would only affect their mood during the New Year, so it would be better to just disappear.

Li Yunshan raised his eyes, hesitated for a while and then went.

The two of them finished their meal quickly, washed the pot and poured out the swill. Li Yunshan brought the dried fish and three sweet fruits.

He put one of them in a bowl and put it on the tandoor to heat it, and ate two of them without the ice melting.

She had eaten too much meat in the evening, and she was very tired of it now. She took Li Yunshan's hand and took a small bite. When she wanted to take a second bite, Li Yunshan stuffed it all into her mouth. He stood up and poured her a bowl. Water, says "Don't eat it cold."

Mao Xiaosui snorted and became less angry when he caught a glimpse of the new hair tie.

He pinched a small piece of grilled dried fish and ate it bit by bit. After a while, Heizi suddenly stood up. Li Yunshan pinched its mouth with quick eyes and hands. Soon, someone knocked on the courtyard door, and there was a sound from outside. Xiaoxia's voice.

The two of them pretended to be deaf by the fire. Lu Xiaoxia shouted and knocked for a while before leaving. After a while, the courtyard door rang again, and it was Mao Mingzhu's voice.

Li Yunshan went to open the door, and all the women in the village who were usually close to him came.

Mao Mingzhu told him, "Go find your cousin and the others, they are playing dice at home."

Li Yunshan responded and left. As soon as they lifted the curtain, they saw the new hairband on her head. Mao Mingzhu said "yo" and said with a smile, "Did Yunshan buy it for you?"

Mao Xiaosui was a little embarrassed by the laughter, but nodded.

"How much?" Zhang Zhi asked.

She shook her head, "I didn't ask."

Several women started to touch it, and Lu Feng said, "It's a good thing to touch. The color makes it so white. It should cost a lot of money."

"This Yunshan really loves my mother-in-law..." Yuan Xiaochun also joked with a smile.

Mao Xiaosui didn't move and asked them to bring in the wooden pillars at the door and sit on them.

After a few more jokes, Mao Mingzhu asked her, "Why are you blocking the door during the Chinese New Year? I heard someone knocking on your door and calling you."

Mao Xiaosui stood up and looked at the door. Li Yunshan closed the door after going out, and then said, "Maybe it's Lu Xiaoxia."

"What's she doing here?" Mao Mingzhu just asked Zhang Zhi and said with a smile, "What can you do today on New Year's Eve? Come visit like us."

Yuan Xiaochun also said, "This Xiaosui's home is so warm. No wonder you guys like to go here."

Mao Mingzhu snorted and said, "If anything good comes to that family, come to them."

Several people immediately looked at Mao Xiaosui, and then she said, "Li Yunqiang insisted on calling Li Yunshan to drink, and also called Lu Xiaoxia to come up and accompany me."

When Mao Mingzhu heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, "It's right not to go. It's not good to be designated."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said nothing.
