After everything was put away, Li Xiaoran used a basket to grab a basket of melon seeds and peanut candies.
I also took out some snacks that Li Xiaoran packed from the tea house when he came back, as well as some snacks bought in the grocery store.
After greeting everyone to eat whatever they want, Li Xiaoran didn't see his mother, so he took a few cakes and went to find someone.
Finally, over the laundry at home, Li Xiaoran saw Zhao Xiu, her hardworking mother.
This winter, even if the sun is out, the water is still freezing.
The water on the side of the laundry table is a pipe made of bamboo, which flows from the stream on the mountain.
It is very convenient for washing clothes on weekdays.
Li Xiaoran took a piece of mung bean cake in his hand and stuffed it directly into Zhao Xiu's mouth.
I was suddenly stuffed with mung bean cake, Zhao Xiu took a bite, and ate while washing clothes.
"Hey, this mung bean cake is really delicious!"
Li Xiaoran smiled when he heard what his mother said, so he fed Zhao Xiu another mouthful.
Just like that, mother and daughter, you take one bite, and I take one bite, while talking and eating.
"Mother, don't be so tired, put these clothes here, I'll wash them later!" Li Xiaoran looked at his mother's red hands, and said with some distress.
"I've already washed, why are you here to join in the fun! If I wash alone, I will freeze me alone, why bother dragging you to suffer. Besides, wash now These clothes are much less than when I was in Lao Li's house before!" Zhao Xiu said with a smile.
Speaking of the old Li family, what did Zhao Xiu think of.
"By the way, you probably don't know! Li Yan is getting married today! I don't know what happened, but Li Yan got married in such a hurry! I thought about it with your father, If you don't give anything away, it's like you don't know! It's really something from the old Li family's side, so if you get caught, you might not be able to get rid of it!"
Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard his mother's words.
"I'm getting married today? I remember that the date I set before was not after the New Year?"
"No, I don't know what your uncle's family thinks. Time is so fast, so just marry someone!" Zhao Xiu said, and remembered a rumor: " Girl, don't you know! Now everyone in the village has spread the word. It is said that Li Qiang swallowed all the dowry money sent by Pei Xuanxin, and did not give Li Yan a dowry at all. Even the dowry is a piece of cake. , people can't see!"
Li Xiaoran sneered when she heard this.
"Mom, it's not like you don't know, just my grandfather and grandma's selfish temperament can teach good children. Among the three children, it is my father who sees it. It's better. But doesn't my father also have a lot of problems? As long as my father can be tough before, we won't suffer so many crimes in Lao Li's house. "
"Don't say this in the future, your father will be sad when you hear it! Your father, it has changed a lot now!" Zhao Xiu glanced at her daughter and said disapprovingly .
Li Xiaoran received a reminder from her mother and laughed.
"I also targeted my father, mainly because of the things my father did in the past. Thinking about it makes me feel very irritating! Don't worry! Mother, as long as my father changes it, it is still in our hearts The best dad!"
As soon as these words came out, the mother and daughter burst into laughter.
"You girl, I really can't do anything about you!" Zhao Xiu finally said.
After the clothes were washed, Li Xiaoran also went to wash her hands and helped Zhao Xiu cool the clothes.
"In the two days since you left, your father and I cut some shredded radish and shredded mustard, as well as shredded mustard to dry. After two days of drying, we can put the seasonings on the altar. The bacon and sausages are also smoked well, or we will get some bacon sausages to eat today! Speaking of which, I am really greedy for this taste!" Zhao Xiu muttered while drying clothes.
"Mother, just cook it if you want to eat it!" Li Xiaoran said.
"This is not good, the first bite of the bacon sausage made this year must be eaten by the whole family! Today you and Luo Chengcheng are here, and our family is considered complete, and we can cook and eat it today. If you are not at home in the future, I will cook it myself if I want to eat it!" Zhao Xiu said very insistently.
Li Xiaoran is very moved, maybe this is the love from her parents!
Anything delicious or fun, they will think of their children for the first time.
Even if it's just some very common things, I still insist on keeping it until my children come home and taste it together.
He said that he would cook and eat by himself next time, but Li Xiaoran can be sure that when he eats next time, his parents will still miss them and eat together when they are there.
"Okay, then listen to my mother, I'll ask Ziyang to pick up the bacon and sausage! Speaking of which, my saliva is also greedy!" Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
Zhao Xiu couldn't help laughing when she heard what her daughter said.
"Hurry up! I'll dry this last piece of clothes by myself! Speaking of which, I'm hungry too!"
Li Xiaoran nodded, then shouted towards the room.
"Ziyang, take a piece of bacon and a few pieces of sausage, we're going to try it today!"
Luo Ziyang immediately responded with a smile when he heard his sister-in-law speak.
"Got it, sister-in-law!"
Speaking, Luo Ziyang went to get the knife and began to choose.
"Brother Ziyang, this piece, this piece!" Guan Kang was also interested at this moment and said another piece of bacon.
After that, I cut several sections of sausage and put them in a wooden tub.
Li Xiaoqing had already filled the kettle with water when she heard what her eldest sister said, and put it on the small stove to burn.
Here, Luo Ziyang held the bacon with tongs and put it on the stove to burn the skin.
As the meat skin was burned, a fragrance came out.
Guan Kang smelled this smell and felt that his saliva was about to flow out.
"Brother Ziyang, you don't know, I have never eaten bacon sausage!" Guan Kang said suddenly.
Li Xiaoran just came in to see how the bacon was being cooked, and when he heard Guan Kang's words, he felt a little distressed.
"Did you not have good health before, so you can't eat bacon sausages? Can you eat your body now?"
When Guan Kang heard Li Xiaoran's voice, he nodded obediently: "I can eat now! My current body is no different from an ordinary child, just can't eat more!"
Li Xiaoran looked at Guan Kang's good-natured appearance, reached out and touched his head.
"It's okay, then we'll eat a few less pieces! There's a lot of bacon sausages at home. When you want to eat it in the future, just say it, and we'll cook it for you!"
