The peace of rebirth is a blessing

Chapter 10 New Year's Eve

Ji Xiaohui, who still didn't want to go to Ji's house, was dragged out of the house by Ji Minghui. Ji Xiaohui felt aggrieved to see other people's families reunion on such a day, but he was alone.Unable to break free from Ji Minghui, Ji Xiaohui's expression turned ugly. "I'll go again in a few days! I really can't go today." Ji Xiaohui held the door with one hand, and tried to break away from Ji Minghui's pull with the other.

"I said why are you so awkward? What's the point of you being at home alone?" Ji Minghui let go of Ji Xiaohui's hand, thinking whether he should pick it up and walk outside.

"Do you understand, today is Chinese New Year, I will go to your house to see your family reunion, I feel good? I will stay very comfortable?" Ji Xiaohui quickly retreated to the yard, closed the door directly, and inserted OK, turn around and go back to the house.

Ji Minghui, who was shut outside the door, touched his nose, thinking that bringing Ji Xiaohui back would make this Daidai feel better, as if he had the wrong idea.Ji Minghui walked a few steps silently, then looked back at the closed door, hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone and called home.

After returning to the house, Ji Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cloth and tidied up the living room, and added some coal to the stove. Uncle Li bought the coal for him. When it was cold, he bought it for him. Ji Xiaohui was busy with the exam and forgot to buy coal. Fortunately, Li's family helped him think about it, otherwise he would die of cold this winter.

Turning on the TV, Ji Xiaohui sat on the stool and watched TV.During the Chinese New Year, there is nothing interesting about the programs on TV. It is not the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala, or the special programs organized by various cities to welcome the New Year. This is the case every year.Staring at the TV, Ji Xiaohui was thinking about things in a mess. Just as he was about to turn off the TV and read a book, he saw a figure shaking by the window.Ji Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat, could it be that he was robbed?Ji Xiaohui was so frightened that he ran to the kitchen to pick up the fire stick, carried it to the window, and looked sideways towards the door. The windows in the house were all made of plastic steel, except for the normal lock. I also tried it, and it is really easy to use. I used an electric drill to drill holes in the alternate places of the window, but it did not penetrate. I can insert a convenient chopstick, and the window is safer. Even if I use brute force outside, I can’t open it unless the glass is broken. Shattered, such a window, how could the glass be easily broken.

Now that the sky is getting dark, I can't see the front of the figure outside clearly, but I vaguely feel that it is a tall man. The more Ji Xiaohui looks at it, the more he feels that something is wrong. He throws the fire stick aside, runs to open the door, and sees Ji Minghui holding his arms. Stop stomping. "How did you get in here?"

"Hey~ over the wall." Ji Minghui smirked, and then walked into the room quickly, "It's really cold." He stomped his feet again and put on big fur slippers. "It's still warm in the house."

"Why didn't you go back?" Ji Xiaohui looked at Ji Minghui with some precautions. It was impossible for him to follow Ji Minghui to his house for the New Year.

"Don't worry, I came here not to ask you to go back with me to celebrate the New Year, but I am going to accompany you here to celebrate the New Year. You have prepared something for the New Year. Why is it not festive at all? Didn't I bring a lantern? And Pairs, first hang the lanterns, then paste the pairs, and the word 'Fu', although it's a bit late, but it's not too late." After Ji Minghui finished speaking, he began to turn out the pile of things he brought.

"Just post the pair and the word 'Fu'! Grandma just passed away, so it's not good to hang red lanterns." Ji Xiaohui stopped Ji Minghui's movements, and just heard Ji Minghui say to come with him, and he felt warm in his heart. In the past, every New Year, he would Go to bed early, afraid of thinking wildly.Ji Xiaohui admits that he is a cowardly person. Even after such a big blow, he still hasn't learned to be strong.

Ji Minghui found out the pair and the word "福", "Where is the flashlight? Is there any pulp?"

"There is a big transparent glue." Ji Xiaohui ran into the room, and came out with scissors and transparent glue after a while, "Which one is the upper line and which one is the lower line?"

"Uh...don't care, just paste it." The two ran to the gate to paste the pair, and there were two "Fu" characters pasted on the door, which was the correct "Fu". Looking at their results, it seems that one is high and the other is low, the two of them didn't care, they took a deep breath and ran back to the house.

I checked the time, it was 06:30 in the evening, and it was already dark outside.

"I called Xie Yunfang, and I happened to set off firecrackers at the door of the bookstore at night." Ji Minghui walked in and made a phone call while talking.

Ji Xiaohui thought about it and decided what to do. The family is not alone, and there is always something to prepare when there are guests.Pick up two washed apples, cut them into slices and wrap them in a frying pan.Beat the eggs and stir the fried noodles with the noodles.After Ji Minghui finished making the phone call, he ran to the kitchen to watch Ji Xiaohui busy. "If any woman marries you in the future, she will enjoy the blessing."

Ji Xiaohui just smiled. He probably won't get married. He can't afford other people's lives. He didn't think about it before, and he won't think about it now.

Ji Minghui thought Ji Xiaohui's smile was shy, and didn't say much. He was thinking about whether to abduct Ji Xiaohui. He was only a third-year junior high school student, and he was too serious, so he couldn't do it.

Xie Yunfang came over quickly, and Ji Xiaohui had just reconciled the noodles and was about to fry the noodles.Ji Minghui has already eaten a lot of apple slices, the sweet and sour taste is very good.Hearing the door ring, Ji Minghui ran out to open the door, holding two apple slices in his hand.

It was Xie Yunfang's first time entering Ji Xiaohui's house. After looking around, he looked at Ji Minghui, "This doesn't look like a kid from a poor family."

"It's probably left by his grandma. I heard Aunt Li say that Ji Xiaohui's grandma is a very capable person." Ji Minghui didn't want to check Ji Xiaohui's net worth, but Aunt Li next door was very enthusiastic about Ji Xiaohui's family. thing.

Xie Yunfang didn't say any more, the old man passed away, and there was no one who could shade him, so it's okay for Ji Xiaohui to die for money. After all, he was only in the third year of junior high school, and after high school and university, money will be needed.

The two squeezed into the big kitchen, watching Ji Xiaohui busy frying noodles, Xie Yunfang took a piece and threw it into his mouth, it was tasteless.

"If you find it tasteless, you can sprinkle some salt or sugar. It's still hot now, and it will be very crispy when it cools down." Seeing Xie Yunfang's expressionless expression, Ji Xiaohui explained.

Ji Minghui immediately found some salt and sprinkled some, "He talks too fast, do you need to prepare anything else? Do you want to help?"

"I need to fry some meatballs. I saw that you brought squid. I'm going to wrap it in noodles to make squid balls." Ji Xiaohui took out the fried noodles from the pan, and put the rest in to fry.

"Xie Yunfang also brought a lot of things here. Let's see what else can be fried. Let's fry it together! I'll cut the squid for you." Ji Minghui rolled up his sleeves and got ready to work.Xie Yunfang on the side glanced at his friend, and said coldly, "Would you do it?"

Ji Xiaohui couldn't help laughing.Xie Yunfang turned around and went out to bring in the food he had brought. There were some fruits, as well as chicken wings, pork feet, ribs, sausages, mutton, beef and fresh vegetables.

Ji Xiaohui turned off the fire, squatted on the ground and looked at it, "I'll fry eggplant boxes for you to eat, stuffed with meat." Ji Xiaohui picked out the clear vegetables, "Brother Ji, you are in charge of washing the vegetables, and Brother Xie is in charge of stamping the meat stuffing. Stamp it evenly, otherwise it won’t taste good. I put the pork ribs on top and the pig’s feet on it with a pressure cooker. After you wash it, go to the room facing the kitchen on the second floor to rest. The kang must be very hot.”

"It's okay, I'll follow you and learn how to do it here." Ji Minghui thought it was quite new and interesting, and he didn't plan to be the eldest master.Xie Yunfang nodded aside, agreeing with Ji Minghui's statement.

Ji Xiaohui didn't refuse, cut some onion, ginger and garlic, found a few big ingredients and threw them into the pot to cook the pork ribs, and directed Xie Yunfang to stomp the meat. Ji Xiaohui filled some more noodles and stirred them very thinly, preparing to make them sticky later.Take out the squid and let Ji Minghui wash it, and instruct Xie Yunfang to cut it into small pieces, make them into balls with noodles, and throw them into the pan for frying.

After washing the dishes, Ji Minghui found it interesting, and immediately shouted "I want to make it", grabbed the spoon from Ji Xiaohui's hand, and made meatballs.

Xie Yunfang glared at Ji Minghui, holding the kitchen knife a little harder, Ji Xiaohui immediately stopped, "The meat is almost ready, I'll do it, Brother Xie, wash your hands!"

"Haha, as soon as I heard Xiaohui called Brother Xie, I wanted to laugh." Ji Minghui did not forget to laugh at his friend while having fun.

The three tossed in the kitchen for more than three hours before moving to the second floor.

"This room is indeed as Xiaohui said, very warm. Phew~ the buttocks are hot on the kang." Ji Minghui jumped up as soon as he sat down, looking at the furnishings in the room, it seemed that Ji Xiaohui often used this room.

"I live here in winter, and the fire below will heat up immediately above, and the circulation pipe below is, haven't you noticed that the water you use is hot! We can also take a bath in winter, and we won't feel cold." Ji Xiaohui looked proud. He designed the house at the beginning. It was nothing special in the past, but it is very proud now.

"That's right, grandma is very forward-thinking." Ji Minghui nodded, he only thought that the design of the room was thought of by Ji Xiaohui's deceased grandma.

Xie Yunfang stretched comfortably on the kang, "I remember the teacher said before that sleeping on the kang can cure rheumatism."

"Yes, it's really comfortable to lie on. If we didn't install all the air conditioners in front, I really want to build a fire pit." Ji Minghui was lying at the end of the kang, and the top of the kang was too hot for him to bear. "By the way, you said it's recycled water. Does your water bill cost a lot in winter?"

"Huh? Don't you know that the water bill in this area is charged per head? My family used to be me and my grandma, and they only charged six yuan. Now it's just me, and it should be three yuan, but the front has been changed to a store. Just five people, Li’s family is the same, but their family is more, because the tutoring center over there has a lot of people going to work every day, it is set as 20 people, and their family is 23 people. But their family and my family The design is different. Their house does not have circulating water. It is the most primitive kind. It is very hot in the first half of the night and very cold in the second half of the night. My house has a constant temperature, and it will be very hot when it burns a lot. Because this room is the first to be heated. room, so it feels much hotter than other rooms, and the pipes in this room are densely arranged.”
