My husband in farming

Twenty days passed quickly, and it was the 24th of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.In six days it will be New Year's Eve.Not only Xiao Xiao's family, but also every household in Zucchini Village was busy preparing for the New Year.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, dust off and sweep the house.From early in the morning, the people in the mansion, under the leadership of the two mother-in-laws, cleaned the rooms one by one.Windowsill table corners, bedding sheets, pots and pans, everything must be cleaned to welcome the arrival of the New Year.Even the two courtyards were swept clean by the servants. As long as it does not snow before the New Year's Eve, there will be no snowflakes on the ground of the Han Mansion.

Xiao Xiao is childish, and Han Ping let go of him.At this time, among the people in the courtyard, he is the happiest.

The weather was fine today, so the big guys took advantage of this time to hang two red lanterns outside the gate of the mansion.Candles are lit inside at night, and the red and red lights are very beautiful.Xiao Xiao liked it so much that he even installed a lot of red lanterns in the yard.Those who don't know think that there is some happy event in this house.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, grind the mill to make tofu.Xiao Xiao didn't know there was this custom, it was Aunt Liu who told him.Because tofu is full of homonyms, just like gourd is equal to fortune, and cabbage is equal to wealth, it is an infinite expectation for a better life in the new year.So today we are going to grind tofu.Xiao Xiao heard the news on the 24th, and ran to Aunt Liu's house early in the morning on the 25th, and sat in the yard, waiting to drink the first bowl of soy milk that Aunt Liu's family ground, to make a fortune.The stone mill at Mrs. Liu's house didn't stop all morning. Later, when the new men saw that the family was tired of pushing the stone mill, they all took the initiative to help them push it together.Until the afternoon, the villagers of Zucchini Village went to Aunt Liu's house one after another to drink a bowl of soy milk.Ask for a lottery.

Xiao Xiao also asked for a small jar, and took it back to share with his family, not because of the amount of soy milk, but mainly for celebration.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are slaughtered to cut the meat of the new year.Today is the time to start shopping for New Year's goods.Most people go to the county town to go to the market on this day to buy pork.After all, the people in the village are poor, and most people can only eat meat once a year, so they pay special attention to it.However, Han Ping had already purchased the New Year's goods for Xiao Xiao's family as early as half a month ago.Uncle Zhang took advantage of Han Ping's return from Guanyang City, quickly greeted Han Ping, and went to the outer village to bring back two pigs.Both of them are fat and healthy.Just waiting to kill today.

The villagers of Zucchini Village came to the village late, so there was no pig raising in every household. Ding Tian'er was like Xiao Xiao's family, who caught a few pheasants on the mountain and raised them in the backyard.And because Xiao Xiao loves chicken very much, and more than a month ago, when the group went to Pingnan City, Uncle Wang brought a lot of poultry back to raise together.So there is no shortage at home.

I don't raise poultry in winter, mainly because it's getting colder every day, and all the poultry I buy are cubs.The price of adult poultry is high, and it is not profitable to buy and sell.The cub is too young, and the weather is cold and hard to live.Therefore, even if someone wants to raise them, they will wait for the spring of the next year to catch a few strong ones and come back to raise them.And Xiao Xiao's house already had earth dragons installed, and Uncle Wang has decades of experience in raising poultry, so naturally he is not afraid of not being able to keep them alive.Xiao Xiao once went to the place where the pheasants were raised in the backyard. It was true that all the pheasants were fat and strong, and they looked very energetic.The cockscomb is bright red, and the sharp beaks can reflect the light under the light of day.Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move forward.After watching for a long time, he quietly ran away.

Butchering pigs is a big deal in the village, so Xiao Xiao's house was very lively again.This time it was similar to the last time I ate hot pot.Call all the men in the village over, and let's all help slaughter the two fat boars.Because I was afraid that the sound would be too terrible when slaughtering pigs.So Xiao Xiao and Yang Xu went to Aunt Liu's house together and waited.The two mother-in-laws in the family have seen blood and are not afraid of killing pigs.But the two younger brothers were younger brothers who had not yet given birth to a baby. They were afraid that they would be frightened by screaming and bloody, so they drove them out before using the knife.

Xiao Xiao hadn't seen Yang Xu for a long time, so he took him to Aunt Liu's house and chatted a lot.By noon, it is estimated that the family should be almost finished.Xiao Xiao followed Yang Xu and returned home with Sister Ying who hid together.

At this time, a stove has been set up in the yard, and the two pots on the stove are steaming.The two mother-in-laws are good at cooking, and there is a lot of pork in the house.As an animal like a pig, there is almost nothing that cannot be eaten from the skin to the internal organs.So Granny Liu worked hard to cook a lot of dishes.The pig-killing dish is naturally the most important, and the sliced ​​and cooked fat and thin pork belly is served on the plate together with the heart, liver and kidney.He fished out a few watery sauerkraut from the tank, cut them into shreds and put them into the pot to stew together.The pig's blood was not wasted at all. It was directly made into blood sausage and put on a plate to be stewed together.Then I used the remaining pork to make several meat dishes such as braised pork with potatoes, stir-fried kidneys, fat intestines, etc., and made buns stuffed with pork and green onions.In the end, because Xiao Xiao liked it, he made another soft fried tenderloin, which was specially served to Xiao Xiao's table and the women.

After the two big pots were boiled, the smell of meat wafted all over the courtyard.It has been more than half a month since He Yi came to Han Ping's place, and he has gradually become familiar with the way every family here gets along as one.This time, he didn't even need to be persuaded, he just took the wine jar and found someone to drink.Not even nonsense.

After dinner in the afternoon, after the family cleaned up the dishes, the servants diligently boiled water for the two masters, and asked the two masters to wash themselves inside and out and put on new clothes.Because there is another custom in this 26: wash inside and outside.This day is also called "Xi Fu Lu".If you wash it today, you will have a lot of blessings in the coming year.Therefore, the subordinates naturally and diligently urged the two masters to wash up quickly, only hoping for more blessings.Today's clothes were also taken out by mothers-in-law to wash and dry

Xiao Xiao, who had been busy all day and washed clean again at night, was Han Ping who was also clean at a cheaper price.Xiao Xiao was tossed and turned by Han Ping throughout the night, and the two of them kept arguing until the middle of the night before it died down, and the next day it was the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, chickens are slaughtered to catch the market.Xiao Xiao's family has no shortage of New Year's goods and has a lot of poultry and pheasants, so Xiao Xiao put up the window grilles in advance on this day.Xiao Xiao naturally doesn't know how to cut the window grilles. Yang Xu helped him cut the window grilles when he came over.Not only is Yang Xu's embroidery beautiful, but she is also very skilled in cutting window grilles.According to Yang Xu's request, Xiao Xiao cut out window grilles that were twisted and crooked, similar to the things that seven or eight-year-old children just learned to cut with scissors.That Yang Xu took the scissors, and cut out a jumping carp, a round lucky character, and even a fat doll like Xiaobao in a few strokes.Although Xiao Xiao was clumsy, he couldn't be happier watching Yang Xu cut it. Xiao Xiao posted it while Yang Xu cut it.One day passed, and the doors and windows of the house were covered with red stickers by Xiao Xiao, looking very festive.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, make cakes and steamed buns with decals.Early this morning, my mother-in-law took out her face and started preparing for the face-to-face.In rural areas, white rice is eaten less than a few times throughout the year, and pasta is the staple food during Chinese New Year.Therefore, the mothers-in-law started to prepare in the morning, and prepared the noodles for steamed buns.There is still the custom of making rice cakes in the south, but most of the family members are from the north, and there is no tool for making rice cakes at home, so Xiao Xiao will not let anyone prepare them.After the pasta is ready, let everyone rest.The past few days have been busy.

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is also called Little New Year’s Eve.There is only one day left before Chinese New Year.The mothers-in-law kneaded the noodles made yesterday and made them into rounds early in the morning.Prepare steamed buns.Started to prepare for tomorrow's New Year's Eve meal again.Because of the cold weather, the leftover pork was frozen outside after being cut.The servants took the parts needed for cooking tomorrow, thawed them and prepared to cut them up for use tomorrow.Even the pheasants and roosters were slaughtered together today, and they were cleaned up for cooking tomorrow.

On the morning of the 29th, Xiao Xiao begged Han Ping to take him to Xishan.Han Ping naturally knew why he went to Xishan at this time.So there is no objection.He waited for Xiao Xiao to get dressed, then put a layer of cotton coat on him outside, put on scarf gloves, and even buttoned the cotton hat made by Mrs. Huan on his head.After covering Xiao Xiao tightly to ensure that there will be no air leakage.Then he went to the kitchen again.When I came back, I took a food box.

Xiao Xiao and Han Ping didn't take anyone with them, so they went out the door.The little leopard seemed to know that the two of them were going to Xishan, and followed the two of them when they went out.At this time, the little leopard is basically an adult, and his whole body has grown a lot, and his standing height has reached the position of Xiao Xiao's waist.

Xiao Xiao watched the little leopard follow him, looked up at Han Ping, and asked silently.

Han Ping nodded, acquiescing that the little leopard could follow them.

Xiao Xiao and Han Ping didn't go to other places all the way, and went directly to the place where the original owner Xiao Xiao once set up the tomb.At this time, Xishan Mountain was already buried under heavy snow, and it took Han Ping and Xiao Xiao a lot of time to climb up.Fortunately, there was a little leopard exploring the way ahead, so the two of them saved a lot of energy.

Xiao Xiao cleaned up the Clothes Tomb with his own hands.Han Ping took out the contents of the food box.There are not many things, just four plates of side dishes and one plate of steamed buns.There is also a wine jug next to it, but it is filled with clean water.

Xiao Xiao had long wanted to come to pay homage to the original owner, after all he had taken over his body.Instead of the original owner, he survived in this world.In this world, except him and Han Ping, no one knows the fact that Xiao Xiao has left.

Xiao Xiao looked at the things on the ground, and said silently in his heart: I hope that your next generation will be reborn into a good family, so that you can live comfortably, be safe and happy.

Han Ping silently stood beside Xiao Xiao, looking at the little brother who was wrapped up like a ball standing in front of him, the tenderness in his eyes couldn't be melted away.
