As soon as the firecrackers go off, the New Year arrives.

Early in the morning, the children in the village began to shoot off firecrackers, and the women in the village were also busy preparing New Year meals.

Mao Xiaosui stood by the wall and listened and found it quite interesting.

White smoke was rising from the chimney in the kitchen. She stood for a while and estimated that the steamed buns were almost done before going back. When she entered the courtyard, she reached out and fiddled with the hanging red lantern.

Li Yunshan was wearing bottom-of-the-pack clothes, and he was the only one without patch patches.

First, I played with the hanging lanterns, and then started cleaning the yard.

Because it was Chinese New Year, she cooked a lot of millet noodles and steamed steamed buns with my bean noodles in the morning. There was also a bowl of steamed eggs with mushrooms on the steamer.

She shouted out, "Eat first." She put the steamed buns and steamed eggs on the table, and boiled some cabbage in the soup where she cooked the meat yesterday.

The broth was not very tasty and tasted weak, so the two simply drank it as water.

While eating, Ding Wenxiu came in through the door.

Mao Xiaosui subconsciously glanced at the steamed eggs on the table and shrank his neck.

Li Yunshan acted as usual. He stood up and asked her, "What's the matter?"

Ding Wenxiu looked at his expression and handed him the small brown bag in his hand, "Take it and drink it."

Li Yunshan didn't answer, and just asked lightly, "What is it?"

"brown sugar."

"Take it back and drink it." Li Yunshan didn't answer, and asked again, "Have you eaten?"

Ding Wenxiu's face became a little better. She just took it up and let it go again. She said, "I haven't eaten yet. I have to go back to steam the steamed buns. You can eat." He put the things on the table.

Without waiting for Li Yunshan to see her off, she disappeared with short legs.

Li Yunshan's expression remained the same, and the brown sugar the size of an egg was placed on the table without anyone touching it.

Although Mao Xiaosui was greedy, he didn't want to touch Ding Wenxiu's things.

After finishing the meal, Li Yunshan conveniently placed it on the wooden shelf and clasped it with a bowl.

Two pots of noodles were steamed all morning, and Mao Xiaosui had time to make hemp cakes at noon.

Knead the risen white flour into a smooth ball, cut it into small pieces and roll it into a round cake.

Add sesame oil and a little salt to the sesame seeds to taste, use chopsticks to stir in one direction until smooth, then take a piece and spread it on the rolled out dough, fold one end over and press it tightly so that it doesn't leak.

Put a little sesame oil in the pan, heat the oil and fry the pancakes.

Li Yunshan was wandering outside and walked in after smelling the smell.

"Does it smell good?" She was a little proud. She took out the baked cake and cut it on the chopping board. She took two bowls and divided half of it into each person.

The taste was so fragrant that Li Yunshan couldn't wait to take a bite.

"It's delicious." He nodded and said, "We can set up a stall now."

"really?"

Li Yunshan smiled, "It's too expensive and I can't sell it."

"The man selling sesame cakes at the market is from that village. If you look at his business in the market in the morning, he can't sell even a few."

"People here are still too poor. If we go to the county, we should have business."

"Forget it, it's just a small business. Just renting a house is enough for us to eat and drink for several years. It's quite good now, and it's quite leisurely."

Li Yunshan just said casually that he didn't have the ability to really go to the county.

Even so, I was a little surprised that she was willing to stay here.

Not just in the village, but in all the girls and women from all over the country, including men, there are few who do not yearn for the life in the county or town.

When others heard her words, they would only feel that she was hopeless.

Two kilograms of hemp seeds were used to bake five pancakes, and the remaining white flour was used to make a basket of steamed buns and several steamed buns with mushrooms, cabbage and meat.

People in the village eat fish during the Chinese New Year. Fish represents surplus, and they also hope to have surplus food and money every year.

It was fried before, but this time Mao Xiaosui threw in a few peppercorns and poured half a bowl of water to boil.

Since there was no white rice at home, she cooked a bowl of millet and steamed a bowl of steamed eggs with mushrooms.

I have been busy all day, and now the sky is gloomy and it looks like it will snow again.

She brought a bowl of meat cooked yesterday, and prepared cabbage and mushrooms. She dug out everything she could cook at home.

The whole village was enveloped in the meaty aroma of meat. She hadn't stopped eating it all day, and she wasn't greedy now.

Snow began to fall in the sky before dinner was even served. Li Yunshan came back from feeding the chickens, lit the oil lamp, and waited in the kitchen.

Mao Xiaosui felt sleepy at the moment, sitting on the stool and yawning all the time.

Li Yunshan got up and went to the main room. When he came back, he was carrying half a bowl of beans that had been roasted on the clay stove.

Mao Xiaosui grabbed a few and chewed them. They waited until it was completely dark outside before they started eating.

The clay stove in the main room was very warm. Li Yunshan went out for a trip and came back with a small jar as big as a palm.

The red cloth stuffed on the jar is very conspicuous, and the smell of wine is very strong.

He searched around the house, wiped the dirt off the altar with his hands, then went to the kitchen and brought back two bowls.

"When did you buy it?"

Li Yunshan didn't say anything, but poured some for her, "Drink to feel comfortable."

Mao Xiaosui didn't believe it. She had only used it when cooking before. She didn't like the smell alone. It was too strong.

But she didn't refuse, picked it up and took a sip.

The taste was indeed strong, so she sipped it a little with her lips, and the taste soon passed.

She took another big sip, and this time it was almost too strong to send her away.

From the mouth to the throat, all the way down, the stomach and heart especially hurt.

Li Yunshan was frightened by the way she opened her mouth, so he quickly picked up a chopstick of cabbage and handed it to her mouth.

Mao Xiaosui opened his mouth to eat, and slowly recovered.

"I don't drink like you." He picked it up and took a small sip to show her, "Just sip a little. If you drink too much, you will get drunk easily."

Mao Xiaosui responded with a "hmm" and took another mouthful of food. He waited until the energy was almost gone before taking another sip.

The little wine at the bottom of the bowl was almost finished, but she still didn't think it tasted good, but she still wanted to taste it in her mouth.

Li Yunshan took the wine bowl from her, drank the last bit, and gave her a rabbit leg. "It's cold to eat."

She stared, a little unhappy, "What are you doing? I haven't finished drinking yet."

Li Yunshan looked at her with eyes blurred, and then said, "Eat."

Mao Xiaosui threw his chopsticks and stared at him.

Li Yunshan was speechless and raised his hand to pour her some more...
