Hearing that Huo Xiaohan was going to get the pot and bowl, Yuan Anping said that he would go back with him.He can't help here, and he will be robbed of his work if he does something, so he can only watch from the sidelines, so he might as well go home and stay.

On the way, Zhou Xiangzhi asked Yuan Anping, "Anping, how many bowls did you buy?"

"Six bowls, six plates and two porcelain pots."

Zhou Xiangzhi thought about it in his mind, the family had enough tableware, but it seemed that this bowl was not enough to invite people to dinner at night, thinking that he would ask her husband to bring his own tableware later. Borrow a few from others.

When Yuan Anping and the others pushed open the door, Zhong Sunrui was sitting by the kang talking with his grandfather.He is very rare for a kang bed that can generate heat. In addition, this winter, he does not need to eat and sleep in the open, and he will soon have a shelter. He feels very at ease, which makes his speech lively.Seeing Zhongsun Lianjue felt very uncomfortable. The child has suffered with him in the past two years.

Hearing the movement from the gate, Zhong Sunrui hurriedly got out of bed: "Grandpa, I'll go out and have a look."

When Yuan Anping entered the courtyard, the three little guys came to greet him first, because they were well fed, and they looked very cute with their chubby chubby faces, and then they saw Zhong Sun Rui who ran out.

"Is your grandpa okay?" Yuan Anping asked, taking care not to step on the puppy that kept approaching his feet while walking into the house.

"Grandpa is fine." Zhong Sunrui replied in a low voice, and then followed them into the house like a little tail.

The things were packed by Huo Xiaohan, so he went directly to get the things when he entered the house.Because the mutton was going to be cooked at night, Yuan Anping brought out some aniseed prickly ash and a piece of ginger.The Northland does not produce ginger. The ginger they eat here is transported from the south, so it is more expensive. It is not used for cooking on weekdays. I only buy some in winter. One is for cooking during the Chinese New Year. The second is to drive away the cold.

Zhou Xiangzhi took the seasoning, and these things can only be used when making meat dishes. Her family only buys some in the twelfth lunar month, and this year's hasn't been bought yet.

After checking the amount, she said, "This is too much, just use a few grains in one pot."

Yuan Anping didn't care too much and said, "You can take the excess back and use it. I bought a little too much."

Zhou Xiangzhi smiled and declined: "No, save it for Xiaohan. I'll buy it after the twelfth lunar month."

Huo Xiaohan heard that he was mentioned, but he couldn't say anything about such a topic.Fortunately, Yuan Anping went on to say: "I really bought a lot, and I will share some with others when the time comes, and you can take the more and use them, so as to save you from going all the way to buy them."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Xiangzhi was no longer polite: "That's fine."

Putting all the vegetables at home in a bag, Yuan Anping said to them: "You go first, I will boil some hot water and send it to you later."

Zhou Xiangzhi: "I don't need you to boil water. After the pot is set up, I'll boil some hot water for them along the way."

Yuan Anping thinks it's okay, he doesn't have a kettle here, and it's not convenient to get there after it's boiled: "Auntie, they are so busy, do you want to make sugar water for them? I still have brown sugar here." He also has tea, but He felt that these people should prefer drinking sugar water to bitter tea.

"No need, brown sugar water is served only when guests come. That's fine, you don't have to worry about it. They don't have anything to say about you for the two big pots of mutton soup in the evening."

Yuan Anping was relieved when she heard her say that. When looking for a job in the village, he was most afraid of being scolded, otherwise it would be difficult to ask someone to help next time.But he also understands that too much is not good, so although he can also prepare a large table of good dishes, he didn't intend to make it too good.

Helped deliver the things there, and met Li Zi and his friends on the way back.

Several people ran to Yuan Anping's side: "Brother Anping, what are you doing?"

"Don't do anything, just go home."

Hearing what he said, Li Zi proudly said to his friends: "Look, I said they won't let Brother Anping work together."

Li Dongfeng couldn't help yelling at him: "What's there to be proud of, I also know that they will definitely not let Brother Anping work. Brother Anping is a gentleman."

Yuan Anping was a little speechless after understanding what they were saying, and interrupted them: "Why do you guys get together?"

Fat Dun hurriedly said: "I came to play with Brother Anping."

Li Zi denied: "It's not for playing, it's for chatting, it's for asking questions."

Li Dongfeng broke the stage: "What is the question, didn't you just say that you came to talk to Brother Anping?"

Yuan Dahe, who was leading his younger brother, explained: "I wanted to help out, but my mother thought I was in the way, so she let me play with my younger brother."

Seeing this, Yuan Anping said, "Let's all go to my house."

On the way, Fat Dun dutifully murmured about Zhong Sunrui's existence to others, so when they saw Zhong Sunrui, they didn't show a particularly strange expression.Zhong Sunrui hadn't played with other children much, so when he saw them, he didn't know what to do, so he stood aside and didn't speak.

Yuan Anping introduced them to them: "His name is Zhongsun Rui, and you guys will take him to play in the future."

Several people readily agreed.

Yuan Anping took a look at Uncle Zhongsun's condition first, and found that he was still in good spirits, so he said to the younger ones, "Go and sit on the bed, don't make too much noise."

A few people entered the back room very happily. They liked Yuan Anping's kang bed. It was warm and big enough, and it was very comfortable to sit and talk together.So a few people entered the room, greeted Zhongsun Lianjue obediently, and then consciously took off their outer pants and went to bed.Li Zi also warmly invited Zhong Sunrui to sit with them.

Here Yuan Anping made some walnuts, red dates and candy for them.Seeing this, Li Zi smiled and said, "Brother Anping, don't keep bringing us food, every time we come you bring some food, which makes us a little embarrassed to come."

Li Dongfeng felt the same way.

Yuan Anping smiled and said: "Don't be a good boy. Besides, I don't lack this food."

After setting up the small table, Yuan Anping gave the candy to Yuan Xiaohe, the youngest. This little guy was his cousin, but it was his first time coming to him.The little guy didn't recognize his birth, and when he saw the sugar, he immediately took it, and his happy eyes were all smiling.Yuan Anping took another piece of candy to the somewhat shy Zhong Sunrui, fearing that he would be too embarrassed to take it.As for the others, there is no need for him to greet them.

Zhongsun Lianjue looked at Yuan Anping from the side, and judging from his attitude towards children, he felt that this person should be a kind-hearted person.This reassures him a lot.

After settling them down, Yuan Anping said, "You guys are playing here, I'll go and pack up."

After leaving the house, Yuan Anping closed the door, and then went to the tank where the things were kept, and took out the things bought a few days ago from the space under cover.Mainly some rice noodles, all kinds of miscellaneous grains such as millet and mung beans.As for the meat in the space, Huo Xiaohan is going to take the fat pork for oil refining in two days, and keep the other meat to eat slowly.During the Chinese New Year, everyone can't help being extravagant, and he doesn't have to worry about the envy of the smell of meat.

………………

The so-called strength comes from a large number of people. Yuan Gensheng looked at the almost finished roof and thought that they repaired it very quickly.Looking at the sky, I think it's almost time to make dinner.It happened that Zhou Xiangzhi came over and asked him, "Why hasn't the old Liu brought the meat here, why don't you go over and have a look. The stew needs heat, it's time to cook."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Yuan Gensheng didn't go far when he saw old Liu head and his son walking this way.

As the two approached, Old Liu put away the cigarette pot and explained with a smile: "It took some time to steam the sheep's blood, so it won't delay your cooking?"

"No delay, no delay."

Old Liu said with a joke, "Gen Sheng, I just saw your third brother and the three of them coming here too. It's too late to help."

Yuan Gen said with great heart: "It's already ordered, how could it be possible to come to help." Taking the basket of meat from Old Liu's hand, the three of them walked back together.

After sending the mutton into the kitchen, Yuan Gensheng knew the characters of his third brother and his wife, so he pulled his wife aside and said, "Old Liu said, the third brother and the others are here too."

Zhou Xiangzhi frowned when she heard that: "It's all ordered... No, I have to ask Xiaohan to send the mutton to Anping. Those two people are not enough to take advantage of it. Open your mouth and ask Anping. There are so many people here, and Anping can't afford it." It’s not good not to give it to him. I can’t eat this loss.” He hurried into the kitchen, saved the meat used for cooking, put the rest in a basket, covered it with a cloth, and said to Huo Xiaohan: “This Send the rest of the meat to Anping, and steam two pots of pancakes over there by the way."

Huo Xiaohan didn't think much about it, he carried his things and left obediently. After going out, he saw Yuan Genshuo's family from a distance, walking this way, and he understood what was going on.He imitated what he had done before, hurried past with a basket in his hand, bowed his head, and didn't stop when he heard them shouting.

Fang Hua complained dissatisfied: "This Huo Xiaohan is deaf, no matter how you tell him, he doesn't know how to stop."

Yuan Genshuo hadn't seen Huo Xiaohan much: "You don't care what he does, let's go, it's time to cook. I think we came too early."

Fang Hua disagreed: "It's better sooner than later. If they finish picking the meat later, we'll be thankful."

Yuan Dafu hurriedly said: "Mother, you can help me put more meat at that time."

"Okay, wrap it on your mother, and I will definitely get you more meat."

The family of three entered the yard, Yuan Genshuo and Fang Hua were thick-skinned people, seeing that no one was talking to them, they took the initiative to talk to others with a smile.Seeing Yuan Gensheng who was busy, he stepped forward and called Big Brother with a smile.

Although he didn't want to see the couple in his heart, but as the eldest brother, it's not easy to ignore them, so Yuan Gensheng said indifferently: "Coming?"

Fang Hua glanced at the roof that was about to be repaired, smiled and said to Yuan Gensheng: "This house is about to be repaired. Hey, we knew too late, otherwise we could have come to help earlier."

Won Geun Suk also said: "Yes, big brother, I, as an uncle, will naturally help with Anping's affairs. You are also serious, why didn't you inform us?"

Hearing what they said, Yuan Gensheng felt that his heart was in shock, so he said: "This is to help Huo Xiaohan, if you really want to help." He pointed to the two unrepaired west chambers, "See if you can help me?" , Those two rooms haven’t been repaired yet, you can come over and help tomorrow.”

Yuan Geunshuo didn't really want to work, even if he could have a good meal by helping with the work, so he laughed and laughed but didn't answer.

Seeing that there was no sign of Zhou Xiangzhi in the yard, Fang Hua said, "Where's sister-in-law? She's in the kitchen. I'll go over and help." She said and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen were Zhou Xiangzhi and a helping woman, both of them didn't have a good face when they saw Fang Hua coming in.Fang Hua didn't care about their expressions at all. After saying hello with a smile, she looked around and saw the basket on the table. Right? That’s quite a lot. Anping is generous in what he does.”

Zhou Xiangzhi walked over to pick up the basket, and said sullenly: "These people come to help and let people eat it." Then he asked the woman who lit the fire: "Sister-in-law Zhao, is the water hot? I'll wash the meat."

"Okay." Mrs. Zhao said, taking a ladle to fill hot water out.

Fang Hua didn't look at the meat again, knowing that she couldn't get it, and saw a lot of sheep's blood in the basin: "Sister-in-law, there is so much sheep's blood, I can't use it up, take two pieces when I leave. I like to eat sheep's blood Stir-fried cabbage, I have been thinking about it for a long time."

Zhou Xiangzhi didn't expect that she really wanted everything: "If you can use it up, then it's not enough. For a dozen or so people, a cow can eat it."

Fang Hua didn't care so much: "There's so much meat, how can I miss two pieces of sheep's blood." Then she took out two pieces, put them in a bowl, and shouted outside: "Dafu, come here. "

Yuan Dafu was playing outside, when he heard his mother calling him, he hurried to the kitchen, thinking there was something delicious.

Fang Hua handed the bowl to her son: "Here, take this back to our house."

Zhou Xiangzhi frowned. This man's thick skin really had nothing to do with her, so he could only say, "Remember to take the bowl back, there are not enough bowls here." She felt that if she didn't say anything, Fang Hua would have given the bowl away by the way. , It's not like I can't do this kind of thing.

Fang Hua said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to rely on your bowl."

"I just want to remind you." Zhou Xiangzhi said in his heart, "I'm really afraid of you doing this."

Yuan Anping didn't know the situation here. At this moment, he looked at the basket of mutton with all four mutton legs, and said to Huo Xiaohan: "Let's save a mutton hind leg and some ribs, and the rest will be used by Uncle and his family for the New Year."

Huo Xiaohan is meeting with each other, so I don’t have any objection to what he said. Thinking of the Chinese New Year, he thought of Yuan Anping’s uncle. According to the rules, Yuan Anping should give meat to his two elders during the Chinese New Year: “Your uncle and his family also After it’s over, Aunt Zhou asked me to bring the meat over.”

Yuan Anping naturally understood what the family wanted to eat, so he didn't care too much.As for why the meat should be sent back, he could also think clearly, the so-called shameless people are invincible, sometimes there is really nothing to do with such people.

"Too lazy to think about them." He got some rice out, "Let's make rice porridge, it just goes with pancakes."
