Joe's Farming

Not to mention other people, it was also the first time for Qiao Yu himself to celebrate the New Year in such a lively manner.

It would be perfect if he could drink too.

The roasted chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and both the spicy and honey flavors are delicious, because it’s not convenient to tear the whole chicken apart.

So Gu Feng roughly divided it up first, and knowing that Qiao Yu liked to eat chicken wings, he tore off a piece for her first.

The chicken legs were given to the three children and the old man, one for each.

Gu Xiaoxue put the chicken leg into Gu Feng's bowl: "Daddy, eat it. I want to eat more other dishes."

Gu Feng naturally knew that this was his daughter's way of showing filial piety to him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. Ever since Qiao Yu got married, he had not paid as much attention to the two children as before, although he had mostly let them do what they wanted before.

"Be good, tell Daddy what you want to eat and Daddy will serve it to you."

There were so many dishes that the big table was filled up, and the children couldn’t reach any food even if they stood up.

Gu Xiaoxue smiled and said, "I want to eat sausages, steamed meat, fish, and the cold dishes prepared by Daddy."

Gu Xiaoyan also blinked and looked at Gu Feng: "Daddy, I also want to eat what my sister said."

Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel that it was a mistake. She should have made two servings of the same dish and placed one on each side.

"Sister Lan, go get two large porcelain bowls." Qiao Yu said.

When the large porcelain bowl was brought over, he picked up some of the dishes from the other side and placed them in front of the children. At the same time, he picked up a bowl of dishes from his own side and brought it to the other side.

This way everyone can eat all the dishes.

I never thought about eating all the food during the reunion dinner. Anyway, it wouldn’t go bad if left for two or three days.

Everyone chatted and laughed while eating for a full hour, but half of the food was still left.

Qiao Yu asked Da Zhuang and Su Qing to share half of the leftovers and put them in the kitchen of the old house. When they were hungry in the morning or at night, they could have a snack for themselves.

"This salty pickled vegetable is delicious when used to cook noodles." Qiao Yu strongly recommended it.

Da Zhuang smiled happily: "Hey, I'll cook noodles tomorrow morning."

Then he looked at Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, I will cook noodles for you tomorrow morning."

Xiao Bai blushed and nodded.

He will spend the evening at Gu's house tonight to celebrate the New Year and will be preparing to return to his own home early tomorrow morning.

Li Xin touched his round belly. He had never had such a delicious reunion dinner before.

"Brother, I want to follow you forever."

Qiao Yu smiled and shook her head: "No, my children won't stay with me forever, let alone you."

Qiao Xing frowned when he heard this, feeling a little aggrieved: "Little Daddy, can't I do that too?"

Qiao Yu laughed and rubbed his head: "Xiaoxing will have to start a family and build a career in the future. Why do you want to follow me?"

Qiao Xing whispered, "But I want to follow little daddy forever."

Seeing that his husband seemed to be about to soften his heart and agree, Gu Feng immediately said, "I am the only one who can always follow your little daddy."

Qiao Yu:......

Qiao Xing could only helplessly say, "Okay."

Qiao Yu said to Qiao Xing gently, "Be good, go see what your brothers and sisters are doing."

Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan each held a dog and stood guard outside the sheep pen of the shack.

Qiao Yu was a little full and looked at Gu Feng: "Would you like to walk with me to help digest the food?"

Of course Gu Feng agreed.

The two of them slowly walked around their yard.

"Husband, are you happy during the New Year?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked him.

Gu Feng nodded.

"I'm glad to have you here," he added.

Qiao Yu smiled and said: "This is the first time I celebrate the New Year like this. When I was there, I always celebrated the New Year alone.

I feel very happy. ”

Qiao Yu touched her belly.

Gu Feng smiled knowingly: "Next year, we will have another little treasure in our family."

Qiao Yu asked him, "Have you thought about a name?"

Gu Feng shook his head: "I have never been to school, so I can't get it. Qiao Er will come to get it."

Qiao Yu thought about it, and finally said: "Let's wait and see. We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, so we can give it a nickname first."

Gu Feng nodded: "Yes, the nickname is Baby."

Qiao Yu looked at him speechlessly: "Are you serious?"

Gu Feng was a little confused: "Qiao Er, do you think it's bad?"

Qiao Yu smiled and shook her head: "It's not bad, it's just that many people in our place like to call people baby, for example, I can also call you baby."

Gu Feng's ears turned red with embarrassment: "Then let's change the name. How about calling me Beibei?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Let's just call him baby. Babies are so cute, and everyone is a baby."

He would never call his child Beibei, because he had seen too many puppies with that name...

-

Qiao Yu planned to cook dumplings early in the morning.

Since there were many of them, they kneaded the dough and made the dumplings right in the main room.

There are four kinds of fillings: pork and leek, lamb and green onion, pork and cabbage, and pork and sauerkraut.

As Qiao Yu wrapped the bag, she said, "I'm already drooling."

It was as if the lunch I had was fake.

The happiest moment of making dumplings is not when you eat them, but when you make them together.

Even the three children were making dumplings with serious faces under the guidance of Qiao Yu and Bai Lan.

The ones who wrapped themselves the best were Qiao Yu and Bai Lan, Hong Xiu and Xiao Bai were okay, and the ugliest were Li Xin and Da Zhuang.

After Li Xin broke two of his wrappers, he resigned himself to starting to roll out the dough. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be quite talented at this.

Qiao Yu washed a few copper coins in advance and asked everyone to wrap them in dumplings.

"Whoever eats the copper coin will have good luck for the whole year," said Qiao Yu.

Qiao Xing wanted to secretly make a mark and give one to Qiao Yu and the old man when the time comes.

"Don't think about making a mark, it won't work when the time comes." Qiao Yu continued.

Qiao Xing had no choice but to put down the copper coin in his hand silently.

The dumplings that Gu Feng made were as big and plump as he was.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Gu, I'm full after eating three of the dumplings you made."

Gu Feng pursed his lips and reduced the filling a little when wrapping the next one.

Seeing this, Gu Gang smiled and said to Hong Xiu: "Xiao Feng is just afraid of her husband. Look at me, I can wrap her up however I want."

Hongxiu took a look at the dumplings that Gu Gangbao had made. They were square in shape. How could they look like ingot-shaped dumplings?

Hongxiu said with some disdain: "Um...Brother Gang, you don't look like a dumpling at all. How about you listen to me too?"

Gu Gang raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, if none of you guys like me, I'll eat it myself."

Qiao Yu took a look at the strangely shaped dumplings everyone had made and smiled, "It's OK. As long as the skin isn't broken, you can eat it after boiling it into soup. It tastes just as good."

We prepared a lot of dumpling skins and fillings, and in the end we made more than 400 dumplings.

It was definitely too much to eat in one meal, so Qiao Yu arranged them one by one, put them outside to freeze first, and then put them together and covered them with a lid.

You can cook or steam it directly when you want to eat it, which is very convenient.

Qiao Yu knew how much her family ate, so she planned to cook three hundred of them tonight.

He and the kids would definitely be full with ten.

But Gu Feng and his friends might need to eat thirty or forty of them.

As before, dumplings need to be dipped in chili peppers, so I made a big bowl of red chili peppers.

The firewood in the countryside is very strong, so you have to add water three times when cooking dumplings, otherwise the skin will be cooked but the inside will not.

After taking out the dumplings, I cooked a pot of cabbage with the noodle soup.

The four fillings are cooked together, and tasting the flavor is like opening a blind box.

But because all four flavors were so delicious, no one minded this.

In the end, the coin was eaten by Da Zhuang, Qiao Xing, and Li Xin.

Da Zhuang and Li Xin were so happy that they didn't know what to do. Only Qiao Xing silently pushed the coin in front of Qiao Yu.

"Little Daddy, I'll give you all the good luck next year."
