The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

After pasting the words "Fu", Zicheng pestered Chuyi to accompany him to paste the New Year pictures that Xiaomoli brought. He wanted to paste them on the head of his bed and look at them every day.

Chuyi was pulled in by Zicheng, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Ruan Sanlang and Wen Qingcheng, mother and daughter, chatting happily.

"Sanlang. Look, you brought us some fish." Ye Xiuying's face was full of smiles.

"Aunt, this is a sea fish that a friend of my eldest brother brought from the seaside. This kind of fish has few bones and is especially delicious. When storing it, put a few pieces of ice in it and hang it under the eaves. It won't go bad even if you eat it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Ye Xiuying said a little embarrassedly: "The beach is so far away from here. Your eldest brother's friend brought it to you with great difficulty. You can keep it for yourself. This is too much."

"There are more at home. These are what my eldest brother specifically asked me to bring to you. My eldest nephew can go to school thanks to Uncle Wen... Your family is our benefactor." Ruan Sanlang knew that Wen Liang had left and was not back for the New Year. He regretted that he should not have mentioned Wen Liang at this time and made Ye Xiuying sad, so he quickly changed his words.

Ye Xiuying didn't care. "Da Lang is too polite. San Lang, wait a minute. I'll pick something up for you."

Ye Xiuying came out of the kitchen, carrying a basket with things piled high in it, and a large cloth bag in her other hand.

Seeing this, Ruan Sanlang hurried over to help her lift it, "Aunt, what are you doing?"

"This is the New Year's gift for you. I have been very busy these past two days and have not been to your house. I was planning to send your sister Qingcheng to deliver the gift to your house this afternoon, and it just so happens that you are here."

The two of them pushed and shoved again, and Ye Xiuying insisted that Ruan Sanlang accept it. Ruan Sanlang couldn't refuse, so he carried the noodles and the basket and left.

After seeing Ruan Sanlang off, Ye Xiuying put on an apron, went into the kitchen and started chopping dumpling stuffing. Wen Qingcheng had an excellent learning ability and knew the process after making dumplings with Ye Xiuying once. She put the dough board in the main room, put on an apron and started kneading the dough.

After Zicheng finished pasting the New Year pictures, he came running over and asked, "Sister, now that you've finished pasting the New Year pictures, what are you going to do next?"

Zicheng thought that he was a big boy now that he went to school and should participate more in housework. Wen Qingcheng also always encouraged him to do housework, saying that men should start doing housework from an early age.

"Go check on the child now. Xue'er can roll over now. Watch her and don't let her fall off the kang."

"Okay." Zicheng received the task card and went into the house happily.

Chuyi stood there and saw that Wen Qingcheng's face was also covered with flour. Suddenly, he felt that she looked like a cute little cat.

Chuyi came over, stretched out his hand and carefully helped Wen Qingcheng wipe the flour off her face. Feeling Chuyi's fingertips sliding across her skin, bringing a slight shudder, Wen Qingcheng's breathing became a little rapid, and she raised her eyes to meet Chuyi's, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air between the two of them.

Just then, Ye Xiuying came in with a dish, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere. "The dumpling filling is ready."

Chu Yi withdrew his hand, and Wen Qingcheng also came back to her senses, with a barely perceptible blush on her face.

"I'm also on good terms."

"You need to knead it some more." Ye Xiuying said, looking at Chuyi, "Chuyi, go wash your hands and knead the dough some more. You have strength, so knead it some more so that the dumpling skin will be chewy."

The family sat around the table making dumplings. Zicheng saw that everyone was outside in the main room, so he couldn't help but run out, "Mom, I want to make dumplings with you too."

Ye Xiuying had a smile on her face, "You want to make some too?" Zicheng nodded immediately.

"Okay, then let's carry Xue'er out and watch us pack."

"Well, let's make dumplings together as a family." Zicheng said as he rushed over to roll the dough, but Ye Xiuying stopped him.

"Go wash your hands first. Look, your hands and face are all covered in ink."

Zicheng smiled shyly and ran out to wash his hands. Ye Xiuying also carried Xueer out and laid her on a chair beside her, while she sat in front of the chair.

After Zicheng left, Qingcheng said, "Our Zicheng can do all the housework. Who knows which girl will be lucky enough to marry Zicheng in the future? She won't have to do anything. Zicheng will definitely serve her well."

Ye Xiuying smiled and said, "This is what happens between husband and wife: if you treat me well, I will treat you ten times better. Zicheng will treat his wife well in the future, and his wife will love him more."

The family was wrapping dumplings while cooking them, and when all the dumplings were cooked, they were full. After collecting the flour from the chopping board, Song Jiao came.

"Aunt." Wen Qingcheng saw Song Jiao coming with a bamboo basket in her hand.

"Qingcheng, have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"I fried some vegetables and brought them to you."

Ye Xiuying came out of the kitchen and saw Song Jiao bringing them some fried vegetables. She scolded, "I was just about to fry some vegetables this afternoon. Why did you put so much in there?"

Song Jiao said with a giggle: "Not much, not much. Just fry less in the afternoon. I don't have anything good to give you normally. Tingyu can go to school thanks to your family."

"Look at you, aren't we all family? Just wait." After saying this, Ye Xiuying went to the kitchen and took out several bags of various cakes and dried fruits.

"Take it and give it to Tingyu."

Song Jiao quickly declined, "I'm delivering something to you, why am I taking yours?"

"It's New Year's Day, there's no point in carrying an empty basket back home. Take it and feed it to the child."

As soon as Song Jiao left, Hongxiu came with Huzi, and then several families came one after another. They were all grateful to Wen Liang. Some of them sent all their boys and girls to school, and they kept coming to thank Ye Xiuying's family.

After finally sending them off, Ye Xiuying couldn't sit still and fried some more meatballs in the afternoon. "Mom, take a break. We can't finish all the food we've brought."

"After I fry this, we can save it for stewing during the New Year. This year, we have saved a lot of effort. Everyone has sent so many things, and we bought so many at the New Year market. Everything is ready, so we can wait for the New Year in peace and security."

Ye Xiuying recalled that when she lived with Old Lady Wen in previous years, she started to be busy ten days before the New Year, cleaning the house, frying vegetables for the whole family, chopping wood and fetching water. She was also busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner until very late, and by the time she and Qingcheng came to the table, everyone had already finished eating, so they could only eat a few bites at random.

"Mom, what are we having for New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Didn't your third brother send some sea fish? Let's steam two fish tonight, which also means abundance every year."

"Okay, I'll go take care of the fish right away."

Ye Xiuying stretched out her hand to stop Wen Qingcheng, "Don't go, you'll get all fishy. I'll go later. Go wash the vegetables and cut two more radishes, and then we'll stir-fry a few more dishes."

"We have so many fried dishes and fish, let's make fewer vegetarian dishes."

"There are so many fried foods, it's greasy if you eat too much, eat more vegetarian dishes to balance the taste, so as not to get diarrhea from eating too much greasy food."

Wen Qingcheng said, "After the New Year, let's plant vegetables in the vegetable garden of the new house, and then slowly add furniture. This way it will be convenient to eat vegetables in the future, and we don't have to go to other people's houses to exchange."
