Surviving the end of the world

It’s only a few days before the Chinese New Year, whether it’s really happy or fake happy, everyone put on a smiley face, people try their best to prepare for the Chinese New Year, there are no couplets, no New Year pictures, and the Stove King and the God of Wealth have not invited The gods came back, but people still tried their best to worship these gods who had never appeared before.The adults do their best for the New Year, and the children are mostly happy. The table is no longer just porridge with clear soup and little water, and potatoes and cabbage vermicelli that make people almost spit it out, but a lot of meat. Cold, chickens rarely lay eggs, but for the New Year, the parents are ruthless, take out most of the accumulated eggs, steam them in the meat pot, or make egg soup, even at this time, People are also carefully calculating the use of oil. After all, it is too cold, and the next oil extraction will have to wait until the weather is warmer.

These children were originally spoiled and spoiled. The younger ones are okay. They don’t have much impression of the good life they once lived. The older ones have grown up now. The difficult life let them know that many things can be solved without complaining. What's more, they still have their parents and family to take care of them, which is already a blessing in misfortune.For these children, the Chinese New Year is obviously a great joy, even though the braised pork on the table is not so authentic due to the lack of sugar and soy sauce, and the meat tastes a bit dry because too much oil is fried. There were no fresh vegetables or drinks, and all they could eat was porridge with a handful of old rice, and they were still satisfied.

At the age of [-], some adults who can't give their children too good food have the cheek to bring their children to eat at other people's homes to grab some delicious food. No matter what the neighbors think or how unwilling they are, they always take Only a small bowl comes out, and the children are invited to taste their own dishes.

Compared with most other families, in the eyes of many people, Chen Jin and Bai Jing belong to the kind who can't live a life. The usual food is good, let alone this time of Chinese New Year, but there is nothing to be jealous of. The family is strong and capable, the work in the fields is done neatly, and there is a lot of food brought back, which is enough for them to eat. Therefore, it is common sense to exchange for more meat during the Chinese New Year.

When Li Lin came over with Xinxin in his arms, Chen Jin and Bai Jing were gnawing on a large piece of braised hoof. Layers of skin can stick to lips.

Seeing Xinxin coming in, Chen Jin quickly moved a stool. Bai Jing liked Xinxin quite a bit, wiped his handles, and brought a bowl over. In the bowl: "Come on, Xinxin, try it and see if it tastes good!"

Xin Xin's eyes lit up, she didn't even need chopsticks, she just reached out and grabbed the big piece of meat, stuffed it into her mouth, her deciduous teeth were working hard, Chen Jin smiled: "Don't worry, eat slowly, what else is there?" Li Lin, sit down and eat something too, as I told you before, we are just these few people, we just celebrate the New Year together, and save my aunt and grandma from being busy all the time at such an old age!"

Li Lin quickly waved his hand: "Cousin, how can this be done? I usually bother my cousin enough, but now it's not easy for everyone. How can I count on my cousin for the New Year! Speaking of which, I'm also incompetent. Then what is the use of a computer, now that it’s on the ground, it doesn’t know anything!”

"I didn't know anything at the beginning, just learn it slowly, who can still work at birth!" Chen Jin comforted with a smile, and gave Li Lin a bowl of radish rib soup, but, no longer Let’s talk more about the previous things, everything has its own limit, Chen Jin just has something delicious, and occasionally gives Xinxin a copy, but definitely not too much, Sheng Mien, Dou Michou is not just kidding , Chen Jin can't let people form a habit, and thinks it's a matter of course.

Fortunately, Li Lin was quite sensible. After he sipped a bowl of bone soup, he watched Xinxin eat half full. Even though Xinxin was still a little bit reluctant, he still hugged Xinxin: "Cousin, my house also It's almost ready, grandma is still waiting at home, so I took Xinxin back! Grandma baked some corn pancakes today, specially made with meat stuffing, I'll send some over later!"

"What do you do with this matter, leave it to Xinxin to eat!" Chen Jin also took a sea bowl, filled it with a bowl of braised chicken nuggets, and stuffed it into Li Lin's hands, "Today's cooking is too much, and it's troublesome to heat it up. Take some back to taste, and just send the bowl back later!"

Li Lin's eyes became hot, and he didn't pretend to refuse. His family is old and young, and Li Lin is not good at doing farm work. A few chickens and two pigs were fed, but after the weather cooled down, there was not enough to feed the pigs. In this weather, if the pigs were fed grass, they would not only not grow, but also lose fat. It was time to switch to someone else.During the Chinese New Year, because they were worried about the lack of food, the whole family only exchanged more than ten catties of pork. Even if my aunt and grandma made up their minds to kill two chickens, they had to calculate and eat. How could the dishes on the table be so rich? Well, adults can fool them, but they can't even wrong the children.

Li Lin carried Xinxin in his arms and left with the bowl of braised chicken. Soon, he brought a large bowl of corn pancakes in that bowl. Originally, the custom here is to bake buckwheat pancakes during Chinese New Year, but this kind of Weather, where can buckwheat be grown, so cornmeal can only be used instead.Chen Jin kept the bowl of corn pancakes. The pancakes were quite big and thick, but after walking for such a distance, it was now bright. Chen Jin took one, put it on the stove to bake for a while, and then broke it. Yes, he and Bai Jing are half of each other.

There is indeed stuffing in it, but there are a lot of cabbage and little meat, and the stuffing is only a symbolic point. Bai Jing has been with Chen Jin for so long, and his mouth has become sloppy. After taking a bite, he put it down and complained: "It's too thick. It's gone, and it's tasteless!"

Chen Jin smiled, but the tortilla was soaked in the broth of the braised chicken nuggets: "Try it now?"

Bai Jing took it and took a bite, reluctantly: "It's better now!"

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Give it to me if you don't eat it! Don't complain, not everyone is like ours, hoarding a large amount of salt. You know what happened before. The price of salt is too expensive, and my aunt is reluctant to let it go." Salt is also normal, this pancake is actually to be baked on the meat pot, I will make it for you later!"

Bai Jing nodded quickly. Although Chen Jin's craftsmanship can only be regarded as ordinary, he has always been very supportive. Even if Chen Jin just cooked a pot of porridge, he could finish it with dignity.

Fortunately, no one came to bother them afterwards. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two huddled in the room. Chen Jin was a little full, so he could only get up and clean up the dishes. When he was about to go into the space to wash, he turned around. But he saw Bai Jing's extremely enthusiastic eyes. (The word N is omitted here)

Nowadays, there are no recreational activities, and the days are short. Generally speaking, people still get used to going to bed early and getting up late, but you can’t wake up too late on the first day of the new year. You can’t be asleep when people come to pay New Year’s greetings.

Before dawn, Chen Jin climbed up with his sore waist, stewed a pot of rice porridge on the stove, and put the wontons wrapped earlier on the steamer to steam. When voices came from outside, Chen Jin and Bai Jing also woke up. They just drank some porridge, and Bai Jing squeezed a wonton with his hands and put it in his mouth. New Year's greetings also came.

The main force of New Year's greetings is a group of children. The parents tried their best to prepare brightly colored clothes for them. Even if they were remade from old clothes, they looked new anyway.Chen Jin hurriedly took out something to entertain the children. It wasn't rare, and it wouldn't arouse suspicion. It was a large plate of fried pumpkin seeds and some fried beans.At this time, it’s not a big problem if others eat thin and you eat thick. After all, the difference is not big. However, if others are eating porridge, but you are eating meat and showing off in front of them, the problem will become big. It was purely for hatred. Therefore, although Chen Jin said that the fruits in the space were often inedible and had to find a way to make jam or dry the fruits, but he never took them out, and this time was no exception.

But this is not bad, a few children said auspicious words in their mouths, and looked at the melon seeds and beans on the plate with bright eyes. Chen Jin was not stingy, and everyone grabbed a handful full of them, making them busy Throwing these into his pockets.

Looking at the cheerful figures of the children, although the adults said congratulations to each other, the expressions on their faces were completely different. Now these home-made things, two years ago, these children would be disgusted. Maybe it's just a taste of something new, and it's new now, because there is nothing else except these.
