In the past few days, New Year's goods have been prepared.
According to local customs, Qin Yi's family also has some preparation activities for the New Year: steaming jujube mountains and jujube flowers, stewing meat, boiling soup, fried noodles, fried meatballs, fish nuggets and chicken Blocks of tofu Datong's busy work was an eye-opener for Sousa and Kolo, who were celebrating Chinese New Year for the first time.
Especially the various types of jujube steamed buns.
Under the hands of Qin's mother and father Qin, a ball of dough, cut with a knife and rolled with a stick, was shaped into the image of a flower or butterfly, and matched with red dates, it was warm and festive.
It made the two girls marvel, made Qin Yi's parents laugh, made the whole family live in harmony, and brought endless joy and happiness.
According to the tradition of Qin Yi's hometown, Zaoshan is dedicated to the gods, and Zaohua is the daughter who got married.
When she returns home on the New Year, the gift her parents give to their daughter has some meaning of happiness and contentment, and is a blessing to their daughter. .
Therefore, these two items are must-haves for the Chinese New Year.
Even though machine-made steamed buns are now popular, most families still stick to tradition and still choose to make these emotionally sustenance foods by themselves.
If Zaoshan Zaohua is an emotional sustenance, then stewed meat, fried noodles, etc. are completely a celebration of a busy year and harvest.
These big fish and meat are very delicious when marinated and stewed, so they are naturally very popular with Angel.
In particular, the ingredients brought back from the ranch are delicious, and Qin and his wife have decades of cooking experience.
They are already proficient in the heat and ingredients, even better than Qin Yilai.
Therefore, the soup is thick and moist, and the meat is rotten and crispy, making the little girl sit on the sofa without wanting to move.
Seeing their cute little granddaughter lying on the sofa, moaning and groaning, the old couple were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
In fact, Qin's mother cooked the food in the first two days after returning home.
It still doesn’t quite suit Sousa and Kolo’s taste.
After all, it was the first time that the two parties met, and Qin’s mother didn’t know everyone’s taste habits.
It was always inevitable to add too much salt and not enough ingredients.
However, the two girls helped Qin's mother, and after cooking a few meals, Qin's mother took control of the heat.
The meals we cook every time are loved by everyone.
Ke Luo also took the opportunity to learn cooking from Qin's mother.
Not to mention, in a few days, she really learned a few dishes.
Although they didn't look good, they still tasted good.
Qin Yi's parents were even more happy.
Their daughters-in-law were well-behaved and sensible, and they helped cook all day long.
This day, there is no happiness anymore They know that the daughter-in-law of another family in the village, let alone letting her cook, will not give you a good look if you cook it for her and serve it in front of you.
There is no comparison with my own wife She was satisfied from the bottom of her heart with her two daughters-in-law and her little granddaughter.
The dishes change every day and make local delicacies.
Some dishes that both girls like.
She especially remembered that from time to time she would make one or two special dishes, which made the two girls say that they were going to get fat.
Happy days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, time has arrived on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
This year’s twelfth lunar month is not thirty.
Therefore, the 29th is New Year’s Eve.
Early in the morning, some families with good conditions set off firecrackers, making crackling sounds.
Let the air be filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
And the warm atmosphere of celebrating the New Year is brewing more and more intensely.
As a habit developed in the ranch, Qin Yi and others woke up very early, and it was the same today.
Everyone lost sleep around 6 o'clock.
But there is really nothing going on at home now, and the bed is really comfortable in the cold weather, so Qin is also rarely lazy, hugging Susa and Keluo, and whispering in bed.
Naturally, some hands and feet are inevitable.
When they went to bed last night, this guy pulled the two women into his room.
They hadn't done anything shameful for a few days, so the three of them had some thoughts and were busy until late.
But with a happy body and mind, coupled with a few hours of deep sleep, I am still energetic and radiant early in the morning.

The three of them hid in the bed, chatting about love and gossip, leisurely and leisurely, until after seven o'clock.
Today is the last market of the year.
After breakfast, Qin Yi's parents planned to go to the market to see if there were any omissions and buy some more.
Qin Yi originally wanted to drive them there, but his parents refused.
They walked with five or six neighbors, chatting and having fun.
Moreover, the market is in the next village, a mile or two away, so Qin Yi did not insist.
It’s good to be active and take more walks to stay healthy.
As the sun rose in the morning, Qin Yi took the woman and child and sat in the yard to bask in the sun, warm and comfortable.
It was half noon, and it was time to put up the door painting.
While Sousa and Kelo were cutting, Qin Yi held Angel in his arms and asked the little girl to paste it on by hand.
This task made the little girl happy because she felt that she had also participated in the adults' work, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.
The family is in great spirits.
There are more than a dozen rooms upstairs and downstairs, as well as on the car, on small trees in the yard, on the outside walls of the house, with door paintings, couplets, blessing characters, etc., all posted up, adding to the festive charm of the New Year.
Enough The old couple who went to the market to check for deficiencies also came back.
When they saw Angel's excellent work, they naturally couldn't help but praise her, which made the little girl smile.
At noon on New Year's Eve, of course every household sets off firecrackers, and Qin Yi's house also has a long string of red ones all over the ground, crackling, making the little girl cover her ears and cheer.
After setting off the firecrackers, it's naturally time to eat.
The food is not fancy either.
Just stir-fry some meat and vegetable dishes, and some water chestnut and white fungus soup.
The whole family sits around the table and enjoys the meal.
Especially the water chestnut and white fungus soup.
The little girl had never eaten water chestnuts in the United States.
The sweet and crisp taste attracted her at once, and she drank two large bowls.
Mother Qin bought these water chestnuts in the morning.
Seeing that the little girl liked them, she said she bought them right.
Then, she cooked boiled water chestnuts and found a peeler to peel them specially for Angel to eat.
This made the little girl very happy.
The peeled water chestnuts were white and round, crisp and refreshing, and she ate them with a crunching sound.
But Susa didn't want Qin's mother to spoil the little girl, so she let the little girl do it herself.
Ever since, Angel stuck out her little butt and peeled each piece by herself, enjoying herself.
Fortunately, Mother Qin specially soaked the water chestnuts in warm water, otherwise they would have become cold.
The afternoon is naturally the time for making dumplings.
Sousa is better at this, and Kolo is just fine.
So Qin's father ran out to play cards, Qin Yi took over the job of rolling out the dough, and Qin's mother took Susa and Keluo to chat and make dumplings.
Angel was not idle either, happily performing singing, dancing and other performances for everyone, which made the adults smile for a while.
Looking at the happy family, Qin’s mother sighed to herself: She is really lucky this year, with both people and wealth.
I have never felt so comfortable this year.
Naturally, dumplings are not all fillings.
Qin's mother and Qin's father naturally like pork and radish fillings.
Qin Yi likes leek and eggs the most, while Susa and Keluo have the same flavor as spinach and eggs.
Add a sweet potato vermicelli and tofu filling specially prepared by Qin's mother, and there are several kinds of fillings at once, which makes An Qier smile and arch her eyebrows.
After all, eating so many dumplings of different flavors at the same time is not enough for a snack like her.
What a blessing During the process, Qin's mother also found a few coins, washed them, and made dumplings with the fillings.
She also explained to her daughters-in-law: "Whoever eats them will make a fortune next year."
As soon as these words came out, not only them, but also Angel looked expectant.

Not for making a fortune, just for fun Naturally, I saved the dumplings for tomorrow, but the evening meal did not disappoint Angel at all.
Chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetable dishes, pastries and fruits, sweet and salty soups, etc. were laid out on a large table, which was extremely sumptuous.
Qin's mother drank juice with her daughters-in-law and granddaughter, and Qin Yi drank two glasses with Qin's father.
A sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner made the family enjoy the meal warmly and lively
