In Xu Ning, every household before the Spring Festival every year would make steamed buns. There are various kinds of steamed buns, fish buns and so on. The buns made by the old lady are particularly beautiful, at least in Xu Ning’s opinion. .
On the night of the New Year's Eve, Xu Ning wanted to eat a tail of fish-shaped steamed buns, which means more than a year.
Steaming steamed buns is hard work. The steamed buns eaten on weekdays can be steamed by simply kneading the steamed noodles and cutting them into pieces. However, the steamed buns for the Chinese New Year are different. The flexibility can only start to make the shape, otherwise it will collapse quickly if it is too soft, and it will be ugly when steamed.
The night before, the old lady kneaded a piece of dough and sent it up. The noodles were ready before dawn.
Wake up Xu Jianjun and his daughter, the three of them started kneading dough on the kang in the old lady's room.
Xu Jianjun is very strong. He has contributed to the dough kneading every year. Xu Ning's strength is not good enough for the old lady, so let her watch by the side. If she hadn't asked for it the night before, the old lady would not call her. get up.
I saw the old lady squeezing a piece of dough that Xu Jianjun had kneaded. She felt that the softness and firmness was right. Then she took it and knead it twice, and then it was constantly squeezed in her hand, not much in the shape of a peach. The steamed bun is ready, then take a cotton thread and draw a mark on it. After the bun wakes up, use the dipped blade to make a knife on the mark. The steamed bun will be A mouth opened, which means that the peaches are ripe.
Fish-shaped steamed buns are stuffed with a date in the head instead of the fish mouth.
Another way is to press a date directly on top of the dough, using the meaning of the old lady. This is the "Guo Lao". Each pan of steamed buns will have two "Guo Lao" in them, so that these two steamed buns can look at the rest of the steamed buns. , Lest it steams badly.
Xu Ning really likes to eat this one, because the old lady will stuff brown sugar in it.
It takes two days to steam the steamed buns. Steaming two pots a day, dozens of large steamed buns, is enough for the family to eat out of the first month. A gloved bun is about one size bigger than Xu Jianjun’s head. The family of four eats a meal. At most one and a half eaten, Xu Ning can panic a quarter.
Coupled with the good wine and food during the Spring Festival, naturally there will be less steamed buns.
I remember that when I was young, the steamed buns would get moldy before the Lantern Festival every year, which was caused by improper storage.
"Make more sugar-hearted buns for Ningning this year." The old lady said with a smile while kneading the white dough in front of her.
Xu Ning nodded, "I like the candy heart buns made by grandma the most."
After working for more than an hour, all the steamed buns were made, twelve birthday peaches, and two people who watched the pot. This is the weight of a pot. If it weren't for the iron pots in rural areas that are big enough, they really couldn't put it down.
Xu Ning offered to help set the fire, but the old lady did not agree.
"You go to sleep again, I look at the fire, it saves you burned thinly or flourishly, and the open mouth of the steamed bun is not suitable."
Xu Ning had already got up and had no plans to go to bed again, so she called Xu Jianjun to go out for morning exercises.
At this time, many chimneys in the village had begun to emit light smoke, and breakfast was a little earlier. After all, the sky was still drowsy now, and it should be the same as their home. They all got up and steamed steamed buns.
"Looking at the snow last year." Xu Jianjun raised his head and looked at the sky. There were no stars, and he felt a little gloomy.
"I like snow." At this time, I felt that the world had become extremely quiet.
Xu Jianjun smiled, and then said: "By the way, at the end of the year, Dad went to the county for a meeting. It seems that the county decided to build two high schools, one and nine. It is estimated that Xiaozheng and the others will move to the county to go to school in their third year of high school. May live on campus."
"In the county?" Xu Ning was a little surprised. There should be news at this time in his previous life, but Xie Zheng finished his third year of high school here. "Is it okay on our side?"
"It's not bad, it's just a lot of considerations." Xu Jianjun analyzed to his daughter: "Where there are schools, business development will be very fast. The county also decided to vigorously develop the commercial economy, so it decided to stay in a place in the county. Building schools in open areas will encourage the economy, and the surrounding land prices will also increase. Our high school here is the earliest in the county, so it is also a key development target. This is actually quite good, and living in the school can also allow the children to collect Heart."
Xu Ning thought, if his family makes money in the future, his family will also buy a few properties in big cities.
She likes houses. After all, she rented old houses in the city until her death in her previous life. She didn't have a house of her own.
Although there is still this small farmyard in Xiangshan Village, Xu Ning has no face to come back to live, so that after Xu's family is destroyed, she doesn't know what happened to the house. Zuo is just deserted.
When she died, it was said that the holidays in China's first-tier cities had soared to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands per square meter. Now it is probably very cheap, one or two hundred per square meter, I don’t know if there is any.
However, Xu Ning knows that 20 years later, their house prices will not exceed 1,000, and 40 years later, they will not be more than 56,000. This shows that there will be no bubble economy here for at least 50 years. It is also the benefit of small cities, with stable prices.
The imperial capital, the magic capital, these two places are world-renowned cities in the later period, if there is a chance, she really wants to make a home in these two cities.
Although this is quite a dream for Xu Ning, people always have a dream, if it comes true.
Xiao Zhong and Hua Hua are both kind-hearted and good girls. Many times I see Xu Ning having a hard time alone. They will also invite her to their house to gather together during New Years and holidays. Xu Ning can’t be bothered by the two girls, and has been to Xiao Zhong’s house. Her parents are both intellectuals, doing decent jobs, decent mentality and decent manners, and they are very friendly and enthusiastic towards Xu Ning, as are the elders in Huahua’s family. No wonder they can teach such two lovely 'S girl, but she has prepared herself in her heart, and she's not embarrassed to set foot again after only going there once.
If there is a chance in the future, she will still get to know these two girls, and in this life she will use a good life to contact those two good girls.
"It's also good to live on campus, to exercise independence and autonomy."
"It's okay when the weather is warm. In summer, I live with so many classmates. If you don't like to be clean, you will have a headache. In winter, I am afraid it will be very cold."
"I'm not so squeamish." Xu Ning looked at his father amused.
Xu Jianjun feels bitter, isn't his precious girl still squeamish?
Okay, thinking about these days, my daughter is really not squeamish, but he and his wife carefully held her in their palms, thinking that sooner or later they would suffer that kind of sin, and they were really reluctant to bear it.
After wandering around the village, the father and daughter went home.
The old lady is still in the kitchen at this time, preparing flour.
"I'm back, haven't you sweated?" She looked at the two and asked.
"We walked slowly. We didn't run or sweat. Don't worry about grandma." Xu Ning walked into the kitchen and saw her grandma's behavior. "Are you going to make pimple soup?"
"Don't like to eat?" If you don't like to eat, you can make sliced noodles.
"I like eating very much."
Xu Jianjun went back to the house.
In the bedroom, Qin Xuejuan was already awake, and she was reading an English book softly while wearing her coat.
"Wake up as soon as daybreak?" Stepped forward and put one of his hands under the bed to warm him, "Squint for a while."
"Sleep well. From now on, the child is a month old and can't sleep well at night. It's better to get up and walk around."
Upon seeing this, Xu Jianjun hurriedly took clothes for his wife and helped her dress.
"Oh, this child is tossing you. I will definitely educate and educate when he is born." It's February in the Gregorian calendar, and it only takes two months to come out. Although the child is not in his stomach, the daughter-in-law has worked so hard. He sees it very clearly.
Because he loves his wife very much, he loves his children very much. He was born with hard work, but he didn't have to take care of it carefully.
Qin Xuejuan opened her mouth and smiled: "I see you are amazing. Ning Ning was a tossing person at first, and I didn't see you scolding our girl."
"How can I be willing to do this?" Xu Jianjun pretended to be surprised. "People say that my daughter is a little padded jacket from my mother and my father's lover in his previous life. That is our baby. Of course, we have to take care of it with pain."
Qin Xuejuan chuckled and glared at her husband in an annoyed look, "Then if it's a son or the little lover of my previous life, I won't allow you to teach it."
"No, I don't. If it's a son, I'll definitely have to teach him a lesson. Whoever snatches my daughter-in-law will beat him up, beat him wildly."
"You..." Qin Xuejuan smiled from ear to ear, "I can't tell you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xuejuan noticed that the child in her stomach moved a few times, causing her to gasp.
"What's the matter?" Xu Jianjun asked worriedly.
"It may be that I heard that you were going to beat someone. This little guy was upset and protested in my stomach." Qin Xuejuan stroked her abdomen, "Don't say any more."
"Okay, I won't say it." Xu Jianjun nodded, but silently looked at his wife's belly, followed by tapping twice with his index finger, and said in a mouthful manner: "After coming out, I won't beat you."
The couple happily got up to wash, and breakfast was ready here.
After steaming the steamed buns for two days and killing the last pig in the pigpen, it was very close to the New Year’s Eve.
During this period of time, people in the village moved frequently, and the neighbors and villagers had good relations with each other to give each other New Year gifts. You gave me some bacon and I gave you some dried fruits.
The children are also very entertaining. Although it is cold outside, some children can always be seen jumping in the alleys or on the streets. Now they also have the candy bargaining chip in their hands, making the noise even more vigorous.
On the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, the old lady took out the three tablets of the Xu family and placed them on the altar table in the middle of the hall. There was also a large painting on the wall, and two well-dressed couples sat in the middle. It represents the two ancestors of the Xu family.
Usually this painting will be kept carefully by the old lady, and will only be hung up during the Chinese New Year. Usually such a painting can be used for more than ten or twenty years, and it can be used for decades if it is kept carefully.
In the countryside, girls don't go to the grave or bow down. Every year in the Xu family, Xu Jianjun kowtows to the ancestors and ancestors. I don't know if a male doll will be added to him in the future.
On the 30th day of the new year, the Xu family simply had a lunch, and then the grandparents and grandchildren sat in the kitchen and started preparing dumplings.
Dumplings need to be made two meals. Both the New Year's Eve dinner in the middle of the night and the first morning of the first day of the new year are all dumplings. As for the dinner, it is a very rich dish.
The old lady was cutting meat while Xu Ning chopped cabbage, and Qin Xuejuan prepared scallions, ginger, garlic and so on. As for Xu Jianjun, he took a broom and iron shovel to clean the snow outside the house.
A few days ago, it snowed for a full day and night. Although it was not big, it was still three-finger thick. If it was not cleared out, the young people in the first village came to pay a New Year greeting. It is said that there is still a pregnant woman at home, how can you be relieved.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Grandma Gao walked in next door with a face full of joy.
"Chunhua, don't forget to come to my house after dinner at night, let's keep the year old together."
"I can't forget." Yu Chunhua said, "Is your family finished making dumplings?"
"I just finished my work, and the kid Xiaozheng helped me roll out the dumpling wrappers. It was very brisk. I'm going back to stir-fry here too. I'll go early in the evening." After speaking, he shook his arm and walked away.
Tonight Xu Ning personally cooks the dishes, including cabbage tofu, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork bones, cold spinach, chicken vermicelli, and the six dishes of Dangdang, all of which are very generous.
This kind of dish was not eaten every day in the landlord’s house of the old society, and now the rural people don’t eat it very often. Meat is usually cooked by the guests at home or on New Year’s and holidays. Every household usually uses Chinese cabbage. Chinese cabbage, or Chinese cabbage.
The dishes came out the same, and at six o'clock in the evening, the family sat around the dinner table.
The old lady babbled something to tell the deceased old man, and then looked at the three juniors in front of him and smiled: "Okay, let's pick up the chopsticks."
Because I have to take care of Qin Xuejuan, the food at home has a relatively mild taste, but even so, the whole family will eat with a smile.
After dinner, the old lady went back and packed some melon seeds, fruit candies, etc., and she greeted her family to go next door.
When they came to Jiang's house, they had finished their dinner. Seeing the Xu family coming, Grandma Gao enthusiastically greeted their family and hurry up to warm up on the Kang.
The house of Mr. Jiang’s house is widely spaced, which is much more spacious than the house of Xu’s house. Therefore, the hot kang in their house is also very large. The seven people sitting on the kang are not crowded at all, and they didn’t even open two tables to play the king. problem.
The king did not have to fight, but they got together and prepared to play Mahjong until midnight.
Little gambling is happy, the two families don’t play for money, they play the same way as children, and the gambling money is candy.
Xu Ning curled her lips and smiled, no wonder her grandmother had to carry a bag of candies when she went out.
Qin Xuejuan sat on the hot kang, leaning on the folded bedding and watching Xu Jianjun and the others play cards, while Xu Ning chatted with Xie Zheng every sentence.
At this time, the CCTV on the TV was playing an old movie, Xiangzi Luo Tuo.
This movie was played on New Year's Day before, but they didn't see it here, but now it can be seen on TV.
At this time, it has entered the ending part of the plot. Huniu died because of her laziness and was pregnant. Xiangzi sold the foreign car and buried Huniu...
"Brother Zheng, did you look ahead?" She asked Xie Zheng, who was beside her.
Xie Zheng was sitting on the edge of the kang in his shoes at this time, so he was ready to pour tea to the four mahjong players at any time, so that he could not bother up and down.
"Well, I watched it during dinner." Xie Zheng nodded. He really likes this kind of old movies. At least the acting skills of Siqin Gaowa and Zhang Fengyi are very serious, although Zhang Fengyi's acting skills are still here. Slightly young, but they are the real artists. Compared with the later stars who only paid for money and didn't care about their works, they were a heaven and an underground.
"What did you say before?" Xu Ning had never seen Mr. Lao She's work, but knew the title of the book and the names of the two main characters in it. At this time, she was a little curious.
Xie Zheng beckoned, asked Xu Ning to sit down next to him, and then whispered to her the story that was played before.
Of course, she also peeled peanuts and melon seeds by the way. The movements were very steady, not fast or slow, and very beautiful.
Qin Xuejuan occasionally looked up at these two children, and a soft smile appeared in her eyes.
The old man also listened to Xie Zheng’s story about Camel Xiangzi, and when he was done, he took the stubbornness and said, “Oh, the days before, it was really hard to touch, not to mention whether you can fill your stomach, but whether you can live until tomorrow. It's a dilemma. It's better now, and the days are rushing, it depends on whether you are willing to contribute."
"It's not what it is, it is finally making our group of old guys have a good life." Yu Chunhua slapped a card.
"The best thing is their generation. We have also caught the tail of the good society and followed along. They just caught up, and I am so envious of them." Grandma Gao gave a two-tut, just as soon as she played a card. Was touched by the old man.
The two looked at each other and laughed in a low voice.
Soon after the movie was finished, how could the final destiny of Xiangzi Luo Tuo be so miserable? Fortunately, Xu Ning didn't look ahead, otherwise he might shed tears.
After an advertisement, the news broadcast began, and Xu Ning discovered that Xie Zheng had a little energy at this time.
This made her feel a little bit cheerful. When she was a child, she didn't like to watch this kind of news programs. It's not as interesting as watching TV or cartoons produced by Magic City. The news has nothing to do with her.
I still like to watch these current affairs news when I get older. Of course, cartoons are no longer interested, but family ethics dramas are often watched.
Because it is New Year's Eve, the news network seems to be a little bit more joyful, at least the host dresses very festively, and the news tonight is a big party from all over the world.
What surprised Xu Ning was that after the news broadcast ended, there was a promotion news saying that CCTV had a gala at 8 o'clock in the evening.
She has a vague impression of the gala, and I don't know when the show started.
Xie Zheng looked at Xu Ning's expression and said with a smile: "There will be a show tonight."

In Xu Ning, every household before the Spring Festival every year would make steamed buns. There are various kinds of steamed buns, fish buns and so on. The buns made by the old lady are particularly beautiful, at least in Xu Ning’s opinion. .

"In the county?" Xu Ning was a little surprised. There should be news at this time in his previous life, but Xie Zheng finished his third year of high school here. "Is it okay on our side?"
"It's not bad, it's just a lot of considerations." Xu Jianjun analyzed to his daughter: "Where there are schools, business development will be very fast.

Although this is quite a dream for Xu Ning, people always have a dream, if it comes true.
Xiao Zhong and Hua Hua are both kind-hearted and good girls. Many times I see Xu Ning having a hard time alone. They will also invite her to their house to gather together during New Years and holidays. Xu Ning can’t be bothered by the two girls, and has been to Xiao Zhong’s house.

The old lady babbled something to tell the deceased old man, and then looked at the three juniors in front of him and smiled: "Okay, let's pick up the chopsticks."
Because I have to take care of Qin Xuejuan, the food at home has a relatively mild taste, but even so, the whole family will eat with a smile.
After dinner, the old lady went back and packed some melon seeds, fruit candies, etc., and she greeted her family to go next door.
When they came to Jiang's house, they had finished their dinner. Seeing the Xu family coming, Grandma Gao enthusiastically greeted their family and hurry up to warm up on the Kang.
The house of Mr. Jiang’s house is widely spaced, which is much more spacious than the house of Xu’s house. Therefore, the hot kang in their house is also very large. The seven people sitting on the kang are not crowded at all, and they didn’t even open two tables to play the king. problem.
The king did not have to fight, but they got together and prepared to play Mahjong until midnight.
Little gambling is happy, the two families don’t play for money, they play the same way as children, and the gambling money is candy.
Xu Ning curled her lips and smiled, no wonder her grandmother had to carry a bag of candies when she went out.
Qin Xuejuan sat on the hot kang, leaning on the folded bedding and watching Xu Jianjun and the others play cards, while Xu Ning chatted with Xie Zheng every sentence.
At this time, the CCTV on the TV was playing an old movie, Xiangzi Luo Tuo.
This movie was played on New Year's Day before, but they didn't see it here, but now it can be seen on TV.
At this time, it has entered the ending part of the plot. Huniu died because of her laziness and was pregnant. Xiangzi sold the foreign car and buried Huniu...
"Brother Zheng, did you look ahead?" She asked Xie Zheng, who was beside her.
Xie Zheng was sitting on the edge of the kang in his shoes at this time, so he was ready to pour tea to the four mahjong players at any time, so that he could not bother up and down.
"Well, I watched it during dinner." Xie Zheng nodded. He really likes this kind of old movies. At least the acting skills of Siqin Gaowa and Zhang Fengyi are very serious, although Zhang Fengyi's acting skills are still here. Slightly young, but they are the real artists. Compared with the later stars who only paid for money and didn't care about their works, they were a heaven and an underground.
"What did you say before?" Xu Ning had never seen Mr. Lao She's work, but knew the title of the book and the names of the two main characters in it. At this time, she was a little curious.
Xie Zheng beckoned, asked Xu Ning to sit down next to him, and then whispered to her the story that was played before.
Of course, she also peeled peanuts and melon seeds by the way. The movements were very steady, not fast or slow, and very beautiful.
Qin Xuejuan occasionally looked up at these two children, and a soft smile appeared in her eyes.
The old man also listened to Xie Zheng’s story about Camel Xiangzi, and when he was done, he took the stubbornness and said, “Oh, the days before, it was really hard to touch, not to mention whether you can fill your stomach, but whether you can live until tomorrow. It's a dilemma. It's better now, and the days are rushing, it depends on whether you are willing to contribute."
"It's not what it is, it is finally making our group of old guys have a good life." Yu Chunhua slapped a card.
"The best thing is their generation. We have also caught the tail of the good society and followed along. They just caught up, and I am so envious of them." Grandma Gao gave a two-tut, just as soon as she played a card. Was touched by the old man.
The two looked at each other and laughed in a low voice.
Soon after the movie was finished, how could the final destiny of Xiangzi Luo Tuo be so miserable? Fortunately, Xu Ning didn't look ahead, otherwise he might shed tears.
After an advertisement, the news broadcast began, and Xu Ning discovered that Xie Zheng had a little energy at this time.
This made her feel a little bit cheerful. When she was a child, she didn't like to watch this kind of news programs. It's not as interesting as watching TV or cartoons produced by Magic City. The news has nothing to do with her.
I still like to watch these current affairs news when I get older. Of course, cartoons are no longer interested, but family ethics dramas are often watched.
Because it is New Year's Eve, the news network seems to be a little bit more joyful, at least the host dresses very festively, and the news tonight is a big party from all over the world.
What surprised Xu Ning was that after the news broadcast ended, there was a promotion news saying that CCTV had a gala at 8 o'clock in the evening.
She has a vague impression of the gala, and I don't know when the show started.
Xie Zheng looked at Xu Ning's expression and said with a smile: "There will be a show tonight."
－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－
Brother Zheng: Ningning, come closer, brother holds you.
Ning Mei: Oh.
Brother Zheng: Ningning, give it a kiss.
Ning Mei: Oh.
Brother Zheng: Ningning...
Ning Mei: Don't get into an inch.
In Xu Ning, every household before the Spring Festival every year would make steamed buns. There are various kinds of steamed buns, fish buns and so on. The buns made by the old lady are particularly beautiful, at least in Xu Ning's opinion. .On the night of the New Year's Eve, Xu Ning wanted to eat a tail of fish-shaped steamed buns, which means more than a year.Steaming steamed buns is hard work. The steamed buns eaten on weekdays can be steamed by simply kneading the steamed noodles and cutting them into pieces. However, the steamed buns for the Chinese New Year are different. The flexibility can only start to make the shape, otherwise it will collapse quickly if it is too soft, and it will be ugly when steamed.The night before, the old lady kneaded a piece of dough and sent it up. The noodles were ready before dawn.Wake up Xu Jianjun and his daughter, the three of them started kneading dough on the kang in the old lady's room.Xu Jianjun is very strong. He has contributed to the dough kneading every year. Xu Ning's strength is not good enough for the old lady, so let her watch by the side. If she hadn't asked for it the night before, the old lady would not call her. get up.I saw the old lady squeezing a piece of dough that Xu Jianjun had kneaded. She felt that the softness and firmness was right. Then she took it and knead it twice, and then it was constantly squeezed in her hand, not much in the shape of a peach. The steamed bun is ready, then take a cotton thread and draw a mark on it. After the bun wakes up, use the dipped blade to make a knife on the mark. The steamed bun will be A mouth opened, which means that the peaches are ripe.Fish-shaped steamed buns are stuffed with a date in the head instead of the fish mouth.Another way is to press a date directly on top of the dough, using the meaning of the old lady. This is the "Guo Lao". Each pan of steamed buns will have two "Guo Lao" in them, so that these two steamed buns can look at the rest of the steamed buns. , Lest it steams badly.Xu Ning really likes to eat this one, because the old lady will stuff brown sugar in it.It takes two days to steam the steamed buns. Steaming two pots a day, dozens of large steamed buns, is enough for the family to eat out of the first month. A gloved bun is about one size bigger than Xu Jianjun's head. The family of four eats a meal. At most one and a half eaten, Xu Ning can panic a quarter.Coupled with the good wine and food during the Spring Festival, naturally there will be less steamed buns.I remember that when I was young, the steamed buns would get moldy before the Lantern Festival every year, which was caused by improper storage."Make more sugar-hearted buns for Ningning this year." The old lady said with a smile while kneading the white dough in front of her.Xu Ning nodded, "I like the candy heart buns made by grandma the most."After working for more than an hour, all the steamed buns were made, twelve birthday peaches, and two people who watched the pot. This is the weight of a pot. If it weren't for the iron pots in rural areas that are big enough, they really couldn't put it down.Xu Ning offered to help set the fire, but the old lady did not agree."You go to sleep again, I look at the fire, it saves you burned thinly or flourishly, and the open mouth of the steamed bun is not suitable."Xu Ning had already got up and had no plans to go to bed again, so she called Xu Jianjun to go out for morning exercises.At this time, many chimneys in the village had begun to emit light smoke, and breakfast was a little earlier. After all, the sky was still drowsy now, and it should be the same as their home. They all got up and steamed steamed buns."Looking at the snow last year." Xu Jianjun raised his head and looked at the sky. There were no stars, and he felt a little gloomy."I like snow." At this time, I felt that the world had become extremely quiet.Xu Jianjun smiled, and then said: "By the way, at the end of the year, Dad went to the county for a meeting. It seems that the county decided to build two high schools, one and nine. It is estimated that Xiaozheng and the others will move to the county to go to school in their third year of high school. May live on campus.""In the county?" Xu Ning was a little surprised. There should be news at this time in his previous life, but Xie Zheng finished his third year of high school here. "Is it okay on our side?""It's not bad, it's just a lot of considerations." Xu Jianjun analyzed to his daughter: "Where there are schools, business development will be very fast. The county also decided to vigorously develop the commercial economy, so it decided to stay in a place in the county. Building schools in open areas will encourage the economy, and the surrounding land prices will also increase. Our high school here is the earliest in the county, so it is also a key development target. This is actually quite good, and living in the school can also allow the children to collect Heart."Xu Ning thought, if his family makes money in the future, his family will also buy a few properties in big cities.She likes houses. After all, she rented old houses in the city until her death in her previous life. She didn't have a house of her own.Although there is still this small farmyard in Xiangshan Village, Xu Ning has no face to come back to live, so that after Xu's family is destroyed, she doesn't know what happened to the house. Zuo is just deserted.When she died, it was said that the holidays in China's first-tier cities had soared to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands per square meter. Now it is probably very cheap, one or two hundred per square meter, I don't know if there is any.However, Xu Ning knows that 20 years later, their house prices will not exceed 1,000, and 40 years later, they will not be more than 56,000. This shows that there will be no bubble economy here for at least 50 years. It is also the benefit of small cities, with stable prices.The imperial capital, the magic capital, these two places are world-renowned cities in the later period, if there is a chance, she really wants to make a home in these two cities.Although this is quite a dream for Xu Ning, people always have a dream, if it comes true.Xiao Zhong and Hua Hua are both kind-hearted and good girls. Many times I see Xu Ning having a hard time alone. They will also invite her to their house to gather together during New Years and holidays. Xu Ning can't be bothered by the two girls, and has been to Xiao Zhong's house. Her parents are both intellectuals, doing decent jobs, decent mentality and decent manners, and they are very friendly and enthusiastic towards Xu Ning, as are the elders in Huahua's family. No wonder they can teach such two lovely 'S girl, but she has prepared herself in her heart, and she's not embarrassed to set foot again after only going there once.If there is a chance in the future, she will still get to know these two girls, and in this life she will use a good life to contact those two good girls."It's also good to live on campus, to exercise independence and autonomy.""It's okay when the weather is warm. In summer, I live with so many classmates. If you don't like to be clean, you will have a headache. In winter, I am afraid it will be very cold.""I'm not so squeamish." Xu Ning looked at his father amused.Xu Jianjun feels bitter, isn't his precious girl still squeamish?Okay, thinking about these days, my daughter is really not squeamish, but he and his wife carefully held her in their palms, thinking that sooner or later they would suffer that kind of sin, and they were really reluctant to bear it.After wandering around the village, the father and daughter went home.The old lady is still in the kitchen at this time, preparing flour."I'm back, haven't you sweated?" She looked at the two and asked."We walked slowly. We didn't run or sweat. Don't worry about grandma." Xu Ning walked into the kitchen and saw her grandma's behavior. "Are you going to make pimple soup?""Don't like to eat?" If you don't like to eat, you can make sliced noodles."I like eating very much."Xu Jianjun went back to the house.In the bedroom, Qin Xuejuan was already awake, and she was reading an English book softly while wearing her coat."Wake up as soon as daybreak?" Stepped forward and put one of his hands under the bed to warm him, "Squint for a while.""Sleep well. From now on, the child is a month old and can't sleep well at night. It's better to get up and walk around."Upon seeing this, Xu Jianjun hurriedly took clothes for his wife and helped her dress."Oh, this child is tossing you. I will definitely educate and educate when he is born." It's February in the Gregorian calendar, and it only takes two months to come out. Although the child is not in his stomach, the daughter-in-law has worked so hard. He sees it very clearly.Because he loves his wife very much, he loves his children very much. He was born with hard work, but he didn't have to take care of it carefully.Qin Xuejuan opened her mouth and smiled: "I see you are amazing. Ning Ning was a tossing person at first, and I didn't see you scolding our girl.""How can I be willing to do this?" Xu Jianjun pretended to be surprised. "People say that my daughter is a little padded jacket from my mother and my father's lover in his previous life. That is our baby. Of course, we have to take care of it with pain."Qin Xuejuan chuckled and glared at her husband in an annoyed look, "Then if it's a son or the little lover of my previous life, I won't allow you to teach it.""No, I don't. If it's a son, I'll definitely have to teach him a lesson. Whoever snatches my daughter-in-law will beat him up, beat him wildly.""You..." Qin Xuejuan smiled from ear to ear, "I can't tell you."As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xuejuan noticed that the child in her stomach moved a few times, causing her to gasp."What's the matter?" Xu Jianjun asked worriedly."It may be that I heard that you were going to beat someone. This little guy was upset and protested in my stomach." Qin Xuejuan stroked her abdomen, "Don't say any more.""Okay, I won't say it." Xu Jianjun nodded, but silently looked at his wife's belly, followed by tapping twice with his index finger, and said in a mouthful manner: "After coming out, I won't beat you."The couple happily got up to wash, and breakfast was ready here.After steaming the steamed buns for two days and killing the last pig in the pigpen, it was very close to the New Year's Eve.During this period of time, people in the village moved frequently, and the neighbors and villagers had good relations with each other to give each other New Year gifts. You gave me some bacon and I gave you some dried fruits.The children are also very entertaining. Although it is cold outside, some children can always be seen jumping in the alleys or on the streets. Now they also have the candy bargaining chip in their hands, making the noise even more vigorous.On the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, the old lady took out the three tablets of the Xu family and placed them on the altar table in the middle of the hall. There was also a large painting on the wall, and two well-dressed couples sat in the middle. It represents the two ancestors of the Xu family.Usually this painting will be kept carefully by the old lady, and will only be hung up during the Chinese New Year. Usually such a painting can be used for more than ten or twenty years, and it can be used for decades if it is kept carefully.In the countryside, girls don't go to the grave or bow down. Every year in the Xu family, Xu Jianjun kowtows to the ancestors and ancestors. I don't know if a male doll will be added to him in the future.On the 30th day of the new year, the Xu family simply had a lunch, and then the grandparents and grandchildren sat in the kitchen and started preparing dumplings.Dumplings need to be made two meals. Both the New Year's Eve dinner in the middle of the night and the first morning of the first day of the new year are all dumplings. As for the dinner, it is a very rich dish.The old lady was cutting meat while Xu Ning chopped cabbage, and Qin Xuejuan prepared scallions, ginger, garlic and so on. As for Xu Jianjun, he took a broom and iron shovel to clean the snow outside the house.A few days ago, it snowed for a full day and night. Although it was not big, it was still three-finger thick. If it was not cleared out, the young people in the first village came to pay a New Year greeting. It is said that there is still a pregnant woman at home, how can you be relieved.At 4:30 in the afternoon, Grandma Gao walked in next door with a face full of joy."Chunhua, don't forget to come to my house after dinner at night, let's keep the year old together.""I can't forget." Yu Chunhua said, "Is your family finished making dumplings?""I just finished my work, and the kid Xiaozheng helped me roll out the dumpling wrappers. It was very brisk. I'm going back to stir-fry here too. I'll go early in the evening." After speaking, he shook his arm and walked away.Tonight Xu Ning personally cooks the dishes, including cabbage tofu, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork bones, cold spinach, chicken vermicelli, and the six dishes of Dangdang, all of which are very generous.This kind of dish was not eaten every day in the landlord's house of the old society, and now the rural people don't eat it very often. Meat is usually cooked by the guests at home or on New Year's and holidays. Every household usually uses Chinese cabbage. Chinese cabbage, or Chinese cabbage.The dishes came out the same, and at six o'clock in the evening, the family sat around the dinner table.The old lady babbled something to tell the deceased old man, and then looked at the three juniors in front of him and smiled: "Okay, let's pick up the chopsticks."Because I have to take care of Qin Xuejuan, the food at home has a relatively mild taste, but even so, the whole family will eat with a smile.After dinner, the old lady went back and packed some melon seeds, fruit candies, etc., and she greeted her family to go next door.When they came to Jiang's house, they had finished their dinner.
