Two or three days before the New Year, Duan Jie took Tuan Tuan to sweep the grave.He didn't go last year because of confinement.They were supposed to come on Qingming this year, but it just so happened that Tuantuan fell ill and had a fever during those few days. Duan Jie was only concerned with taking care of the little guy, and was in no mood to visit the grave.To be honest, Duan Jie didn't have much feeling for these relatives of Yu Shi. He said he was just going to visit the graves for a formality. If he hadn't seen the surrounding villagers go to visit the graves of their ancestors, he probably wouldn't have remembered it.But Tuantuan is indeed his other father who should come and see, as well as those elders.

Standing in front of Yu Shi's parents' grave, Duan Jie thought silently, wondering if your son has gone looking for you, and I didn't intend to occupy your son's body on purpose.I will bring up this child well, and I hope you can feel at ease down here. I will bring you a group to visit every year in the future, and I will also take care of your grave.As soon as Duan Jie finished reading, a gust of wind blew up and rolled up the unburned paper money in front of the grave.The moment the wind picked up, Tuantuan suddenly smiled towards a certain direction. Duan Jie looked there, but saw nothing, and couldn't help feeling a chill down his back. He hugged the little guy and went home. The drinks and food placed in front of the grave were also confiscated.

Back home, Sang Feng was already kneading the dough there.Because of the cold weather, you have to wait at least a day if you want to leaven the noodles, so the noodles have to be kneaded early.Duan Jie originally planned to have a face-to-face meeting when he came back, but Sang Feng rushed to do it again. Looking at the somewhat thin figure, Duan Jie's heart softened.I also made some money this year, so I should give my children more wages.

On the day of New Year's Eve, Duan Jie gave Sang Feng two taels of silver, which was considered his wages for the year.This number is definitely much higher than what was agreed at the beginning, Sang Feng blushed and refused to accept it no matter what.Duan Jie coaxed and persuaded him for a long time, but the child still refused.In the end, Duan Jie began to settle the accounts for him. When Sang Feng turned eighteen and went out alone, he would always have to build a house and buy farm tools. You need some money.And at that time, he was eighteen, so it was time to talk about kissing, and the cost of marrying a daughter-in-law was even more.Two taels a year, and only ten taels of silver in four or five years, it is too little to start a business on your own.

Sang Feng was dizzy from Duan Jie's conversation, and finally accepted the money.

For the New Year's Eve dinner, it is natural to have chicken, duck and fish. Duan Jie took a few fish from the farm yesterday when Sang Feng went to Aunt Song's house to beg for coriander, cleaned them up, and hung them outside the kitchen.

In the early morning of the [-]th, Duan Jie started to make preparations. First, he took a fish, sliced ​​the fish meat off, and began to mince the fish, picking out the thorns from the fish meat while chopping.Sang Feng was on the sidelines chopping meat and vegetables, preparing stuffing for buns and dumplings.

Soft and sweet bean paste buns, sweet potato buns, jujube buns of various styles, cabbage pork buns, mutton and green onion buns.The room was steaming with freshly-cooked pasta, and the unique aroma of pasta spread all over the yard.

The mushrooms picked in summer have already eaten a lot, and there are less than two catties left. Duan Jie grabbed a handful and soaked them, and then took the frozen chicken into the kitchen to thaw, and prepared to cook a chicken stew with mushrooms.A few days ago, the marinated beef was also cut into a plate, sprinkled with garlic sprouts, sesame oil, soy sauce, and mixed slightly, the aroma was tangy.

Steamed fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised lion head, fish ball soup, braised beef, these are six dishes, of course they can't all be meat, that would be too greasy.A plate of vinegar bean sprouts, a plate of spicy tofu, and a plate of gold and silver double silk, in fact, the egg white and egg yolk are fried separately and cut into shreds, with sauce and scallions on the side, and wrapped in steamed buns.The dishes during the banquet can also be rolled into this cake, and it still tastes quite flavorful.The nine dishes were all salty. Duan Jie soaked another bowl of glutinous rice, took red dates, red bean paste, hawthorn cake, dried fruits of various colors, white sugar, and orange jam, and steamed a large bowl of soft, glutinous and sweet eight-treasure rice. The important dumplings are also a must.

There are a total of ten dishes, and it is a perfect prize.Since the dishes were served one after another, Tuantuan had been squatting by the table, and every time a dish was served, the little guy's eyes would light up for a while.Sang Feng originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but he couldn't leave at all.As soon as he walked away, the meat dumpling was about to grill the dishes on the table.

Hurry up, and finally brought all the dishes to the table before the sun set. Duan Jie extravagantly lit a few candles, making the room bright.They never ate so late on weekdays, they ate early, and went to bed as soon as it got dark.

In order to let Tuantuan stay on guard for a while, Duan Jie made the little guy sleep for a while during the day.

Sang Feng was extremely excited. This was the most prosperous year he had ever lived since his parents passed away.Duan Jie picked up the wine glass, said a few auspicious words, and everyone began to eat.

Tuantuan was already in a hurry, pointed to the most beautiful eight-treasure rice, and shouted inarticulately, "Seven, seven." Duan Jie picked up a chopstick, blew it, and brought it to the little guy's mouth, waiting The little guy swallowed it down, scooped up another bowl of fish ball soup, sandwiched the fish balls, and blew them to cool.Seeing those small millet teeth of Tuantuan struggling to chew, her little face turning pink, her big black eyes looking at one for a while, and another for a while, she really wished she could grow a few more mouths.

After a few mouthfuls of the same dish, the little guy was almost full.Duan Jie touched Tuantuan's belly, and it was round, so he stopped feeding.It's just that the little guy was still not reconciled, and looked at his father eagerly with his big black and white eyes.Duan Jie put him aside and stuffed him with a cloth tiger.The little guy knew it was impossible to continue eating, so he hummed and played with his baby cloth tiger.That cloth tiger is worthy of being Tuantuan's baby toy, and it will 'run' to the kitchen table by itself in a short while.Of course, the owner of the cloth tiger will go to retrieve the cloth tiger, and rub it by the dining table for a while.

Duan Jie sighed while eating, it would be great if there was a Spring Festival Gala at this time.Although it is said that the Spring Festival Gala is boring every year in modern times, but after the Chinese New Year, it is really a bit unaccustomed to not have this lively next to it.Of course, this is also because there are too few entertainment activities here. Go out and buy some books someday and come back to read them. There are too few things to do after you are free.

After a while, the firecrackers outside crackled, and Duan Jie asked Sang Feng to take out the firecrackers as well. The already sleepy Tuantuan was startled by the firecrackers, and the little guy hummed a few times in a crying voice , was hugged and coaxed by Duan Jie for a while.The sound of firecrackers was really too loud, Duan Jie had no choice but to cover Tuantuan's ears with his hands, and quietly waited for the sound of firecrackers outside to dissipate.

After staying up all night, Sang Feng couldn't hold back and fell asleep long ago, and Duan Jie didn't wake the child up, anyway, it's the same if he was alone.

The next day, Duan Jie washed his face with cold water while yawning with his red eyes.After a while, when I go to town, I must buy some books and come back. Sitting all night is too exhausting.

Yesterday's leftovers have been brought back to the kitchen.Duan Jie and Sang Feng ate some breakfast casually, and took Tuan Tuan out to celebrate the New Year.The little guy has received countless red envelopes, and of course his pink face has been pinched a lot. When the little guy finally got into a stranger's house, he immediately buried his face in his father's arms. No matter how you shout, don't show your head.

After paying New Year's greetings, Duan Jie brought Tuan Tuan back home, and put out the peanuts, melon seeds, and various dried fruit snacks he bought a few days ago.It is very likely that children will come to the house in the afternoon, so these must be prepared naturally.Put the red envelope received by Tuantuan into a small jar for him.Speaking of red envelopes, Duan Jie has always been resentful since he was a child. He had to hand in all the New Year's money he received when he was a child, and he didn't even get a cent.At that time, he thought that when he had a child, he would definitely not take away the child's lucky money.Well, he can be considered to have done it.

After putting away the lucky money, it is time to prepare the red envelopes for other children.In order not to be conspicuous, Duan Jie followed the crowd and put only one copper coin in a small red envelope.

There were quite a lot of children who came to the house in the afternoon, and Duan Jie gave away twenty or thirty copper coins.For children who come to the house, Duan Jie will grab a handful of melon seeds and peanuts for them to eat.Of course, there are also those who are particularly greedy, and they grab them directly in the small cloth pockets they carry with them, and don't stop until the cloth pockets are stuffed and bulging.

The liveliness of the first day of junior high school was also tiring. It was not yet night, Duan Jie had already fallen asleep on the kang, Sang Feng carefully hugged Tuan Tuan aside, took off Duan Jie's outer padded jacket, and covered him with a quilt.He walked out lightly with the little guy in his arms.This sleep, has been sleeping until almost dawn.The first thing Duan Jie did when he opened his eyes was to touch Tuantuan to make sure that the little guy fell asleep beside him, and then he continued to sleep in peace.

Yu Shi's parents are gone, so there is no need to go back to her mother's house in the second year of junior high school. The family of three just stay at home and spend the day comfortably. It is said that on the third day of junior high school, it is easy to quarrel with people when going out, and most people will stay in a daze. at home.Duan Jie naturally stayed at home with peace of mind, eating and drinking, and playing with the group by the way.

On the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year to catch up with the poor, we have to get up early in the morning to set off firecrackers, and put them outside from the courtyard. It is said that all unlucky things can be driven away. Prepare dumpling stuffing, ready to make dumplings.On this day, the dumpling stuffing has to be chopped very loudly, so that the neighbors around can hear it, because this is a villain. ==

Duan Jie chopped it a few times and found that it was definitely a laborious job.However, he could hear the sound of the neighbors chopping dumpling stuffing.Sang Feng eagerly expressed that he could chop up this villain, and Duan Jie handed over the job to Sang Feng with honor.Not to mention, the kid chopping is really powerful, Duan Jie felt that his own cutting board was about to be chopped up, and seeing Sang Feng gnashing his teeth, Duan Jie couldn't help but think to himself, who is being chopped by the kid's imagination.
