New Year's Eve.

Cheng Yanping woke up to the strong smell of chicken soup.

Perhaps it was because of her age that Liu Wenyin didn't sleep much, so she woke up early in the morning, and there was snow like goose feathers floating outside the house. She had nothing to do and was cleaning the snow on the path with a broom.

Her movements are gentle, sweeping snow is as beautiful as dancing.

Zhao Hou poked his head out from the kitchen. He felt that people from big families were different after all. "Mother, you'd better go back to the house and rest, and I'll clean it later. Yan will definitely quarrel with me."

Liu Wenyin's smile was extraordinarily gentle.

These days,? She has seen it with her own eyes. This Zhao Hou is really good to her family Yanping.Although she is tall and thick, she is rare and considerate,? Just like when she came here for a few days, she always felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Hou asked Cheng Yanping about her taste in private, and cooked her some of her favorite meals on weekdays alone.

I also know that she is afraid of the cold, and every night when she is going to sleep, there is Tang Pozi, and a charcoal basin, all of which are fully prepared for her.

He was even more caring than her own son.

"How dare he? If he bullies you later on, you can tell mother that she will teach him a lesson for you."

The two were talking, Cheng Yanping opened the curtain sleepily, and was refreshed by the cold wind outside. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed, "Zhao Hou, have you stewed chicken soup? I haven't had chicken soup for a long time, you wait for me, I will come right away."

After a while, Cheng Yanping entered the kitchen and couldn't wait to take off the lid of the sand jar.

Before Zhao Hou had time to remind him, Cheng Yanping yelled "Ah".

He hurried over and put the man's finger in his mouth, "Why are you so careless?"

It was just that he was burned, and his fingertips were slightly red. Seeing that he was nervous, Cheng Yanping blushed and said, "Mother is still outside, I'm fine."

Zhao Hou lifted the lid, scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to him.

The soup is golden yellow and tastes delicious.

This is an old hen that has been raised for a year, and it is most suitable for making chicken soup.

The chicken soup that was just served was a bit hot, Cheng Yanping pouted his mouth and blew it, and drank it in small sips, every time he took a sip, he let out an exaggerated "ah" to express his love for this bowl of chicken soup .

The kitchen was originally not big, but when Liu Wenyin came in, it seemed even smaller.

Zhao Hou brought the chicken soup to the main room.

"Mother, I'm a little casual for breakfast today, don't mind. We'll have New Year's Eve dinner later."

As soon as the New Year's Eve dinner was mentioned, Cheng Yanping became energetic. He discussed it with Zhao Hou a few days ago, and specially listed a New Year's Eve dinner menu, which can be described as extremely rich.

After breakfast, Liu Wenyin accompanied Cheng Yanping to write Spring Festival couplets in the room.

Liu Wenyin was born in a famous family, and she wrote very beautiful hairpin lowercase script. In addition, many people in the town also entrusted Cheng Yanping to write Spring Festival couplets, so she wanted to help out for a while.

Zhao Hou was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.

The glutinous rice was cooked in the morning. After it cooled down, Zhao Hou put the minced ginger and minced meat in it. He also added enough soy sauce, broad bean paste made by Grandma Sun, and various seasonings. Then, start kneading.

Dip your hands in chicken broth, then roll the glutinous rice into balls the size of half an egg.

This is glutinous rice dumpling.

Every household in Longmen Town must do it every year to celebrate the New Year, which means reunion.

Besides glutinous rice balls, Zhao Hou also prepared dried noodle balls and potato balls.

The method of making noodle balls is similar to that of glutinous rice balls. As for sweet potato balls, the potato balls are peeled and cooked in a pot, mashed into a puree, poured in the pre-prepared glutinous rice flour, kneaded into dough, and then kneaded into pigeons. Beat the eggs into small balls.

These things were almost ready, he called Cheng Yanping to light the fire again.

Poured half of the rapeseed oil into the big iron pan, and when the oil was [-]% hot, Zhao Hou first took two glutinous rice balls and slid them into the oil pan to test the oil temperature.

Cheng Yanping's burning fire is getting better and better, and he can control the fire between the big fire and the small fire very well.

After the glutinous rice balls are fried, they are golden in color and fragrant.The vermicelli balls are soft and firm, with a delicate taste.The sweet potato balls are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with endless aftertaste.

Cheng Yanping secretly ate while lighting the fire.After the dumplings were all fried, he rubbed his stomach and said regretfully, "Zhao Hou, I'm already full from eating dumplings, so what should I do if I can't finish the New Year's Eve dinner with so many delicious dishes?"

Zhao Hou smiled and said: "If you're too nervous, go to the yard to sweep the snow, digest your food, and you'll be able to eat again at night."

When Zhao Ling and Cheng Dingyan arrived, Zhao Hou and Cheng Yanping were pasting couplets.

The newly hung red lanterns and red couplets on the porch added a bit of festive atmosphere to the small courtyard. The snow stopped in the afternoon, and in the evening, firecrackers sounded outside.

Cheng Yanping greeted the two of them into the room and made tea for them.

Then let Liu Wenyin greet the two new emperors, while he went to the kitchen to help.

When it gets dark, the family sits around the table.

Before moving his chopsticks, Zhao Hou, as the head of the family, went to set off a string of firecrackers. He originally wanted to let Cheng Dingyan do it, but Cheng Yanping refused to do it. So what, it is only my brother and sister-in-law who entered the door of my house."

After setting off the firecrackers, Zhao Hou hurriedly returned to the main room.

He prepared a large table of dishes, chicken, duck, fish, all kinds of home-cooked stir-fries, and specially prepared two pots, which were extraordinarily rich.

"My skills are average, and I can't compare to the cooks in the palace. Brother and sister-in-law, don't take offense."

When he said this, Cheng Yanping was not happy, "Who says your craftsmanship is mediocre, I think the dishes you cook are much better than those in the palace banquet, and those dishes are better than the shape, really want to eat It tasted bland and tasteless at all."

Cheng Dingyan laughed.

Cheng Yan gave him a flat look, "If brother doesn't believe me, just ask mother."

Liu Wenyin nodded.

"Ho'er's cooking is really good. As long as you're all doing well, whether it's palace banquets or home-cooked dishes, mother will love it."

Both Zhao Ling and Cheng Dingyan grew up in the capital, and they are used to delicate delicacies. When they suddenly tasted these home-cooked dishes, they felt extraordinarily fresh.

After pushing the cups and changing the cups, the atmosphere became lively.

In this small room, there is no imperial power, only the joy of the whole family.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was drunk.

Liu Wenyin originally wanted to watch the New Year with everyone, but she went to bed before Haishi.

Zhao Ling is also sleepy. These days he and Cheng Dingyan are so busy that they don't touch the ground. Now it's rare and quiet. There are no endless scriptures and endless ministers. He leans on Cheng Dingyan's arms, his eyes are so drunk concentrated.

"It's great for me to watch Yan Ping and Zhao Hou. They stay in this small courtyard, eat three meals a day, all year round, plain and warm, happy and happy."

The stone lanterns in the courtyard were dimly lit.

Cheng Yanping, who was drunk, was really rambunctious, and he thought it was too hot in the house, so he insisted on clamoring to build a snowman in the yard for fun.

Zhao Hou had no choice but to play with him in the yard.

In the end, six snowmen were built.

Zhao Hou asked him, "There are only five people in the family, why add one more?"

Cheng Yanping pointed to the snowmen and introduced them one by one.

"This is you and me, this is brother and sister-in-law, this is mother, and this..."

He pointed to the little snowman, and lay down next to Zhao Hou's ear.

"This is our baby, you said we were going to adopt one."

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent over and retched twice.

Zhao Hou patted him on the back, "It must be because I ate too much, and this will attract cold wind again..."

......

New Year's Day.

Early in the morning, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers. Da Huang and Xiao Hei were afraid of the sound of firecrackers, so they hid under the bed, no matter how much Cheng Yanping yelled, they couldn't come out.

Breakfast is very simple, just noodles with chicken soup and some balls in it.

It was named gold silk wrapped ingots.

Everyone is about to have breakfast, and there are people outside to pay New Year's greetings.

Since Cheng Yanping was the teacher in the town, there were a lot of people here, so there was no quiet time at home all morning.Because Zhao Ling and Cheng Dingyan came here quietly, they only said they were relatives, and the people in the town didn't know their identities.

He just sighed that it really is a family, and they all look so good-looking.

After noon, there were finally fewer people coming.

Zhao Hou took Cheng Yanping to the mayor's house and Grandma Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings.

......

Cheng Dingyan and Zhao Ling stayed in Longmen Town for five days, and they were really reluctant to leave. If there were not too many affairs in the court, they would have thought about the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before leaving.

The days flowed away quietly like running water.

The first month came out in a blink of an eye, and the weather didn't get warmer after the beginning of spring, but it was still a bit warmer than in winter.

The mayor came to discuss with Cheng Yanping about the start of school, but it was already noon, and Cheng Yanping was still asleep, so he went into the inner room himself and dragged him up.I saw the person on the bed with disheveled hair, sleepy eyes, only a face that may have eaten too much during the Chinese New Year, and it became more rounded, the skin was white as snow, and the inside was rosy.

No matter how you look at it, it is a picture of a beauty sleeping in spring.

Zhao Hou heard it from outside, hurried into the house and pushed the mayor out.

"Left and right are fine now, so let him sleep more."

The mayor snorted, why do you call it all right?It's spring, and the students are waiting to go to school, but my husband hides at home and sleeps in. Is it okay?

It was easy to send the mayor away.

Zhao Hou muttered.

In the past few days, for some reason, Cheng Yanping was lethargic and often felt nauseous, and liked to eat some sour food. Apart from these physical problems, there was nothing wrong with him, and his appetite was larger than before.

He went to find Liu Wenyin.

"Mom, what do you think is going on?"

Liu Wenyin frowned.

"Could it be there?"

She had given birth before, when she was pregnant with Cheng Dingyan, Cheng Yanping's reaction was exactly the same as now, but Cheng Yanping is a man, can a man also be pregnant?

Zhao Hou didn't react for a long time, and when he did, he hurriedly ran to invite He Changming.

After He Changming's pulse diagnosis, he stroked his long beard under his forehead.

Just when Zhao Hou was sweating profusely, he opened his mouth slowly.

"It's indeed a happy pulse!"

.......

In the same year, Zhao Ling and Cheng Dingyan ascended the throne as emperors, established their capital in Xianyang, and named their country Qicheng.

All countries came to congratulate, and Dayu ushered in real stability.

The first year of Qicheng, July.

In the fiery July, the weather is very hot.

A bright sun hung in the cloudless sky.

"Um...uh..."

A loud cry of a baby broke the silence of Longmen Town.

"It was born, it was born, it's a handle..."

Zhao Hou didn't even have time to take a look at the swaddling baby, and rushed into the room sullenly.

There was a faint smell of blood in the room, he walked to the bed and looked at the weak Cheng Yanping, a majestic man, a general who made the enemy fearful on the battlefield, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He hugged him gently in his arms, bowed his head and kissed him on the forehead.

"Thank you, Yanyan. Thank you for giving me a home!"
