Second days, two people went to Town God's Temple in the morning, and they visited Yu Garden in the afternoon, bought a lot of special products and souvenirs, and stayed in the forenoon for another night.
On the third day, I drove home. It was 8 p.m. when I got home, Xiao Q heard the noise and ran out to meet me.
"Are Zhennan and Xiao Guo back?" Aunt Zhang's voice came from inside.
"It should be!" Goosid walked out of the door.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan walked in with big and small bags.
Aunt Zhang hurried out to help get things. "Have you bought so many things?"
"They are all special products. It's the new year. There are also some new year goods, some of which we don't have in the capital." Guo Xiang said with a smile.
When they came to the door, they saw Gu Xide standing by the door. They called "Grandpa" in unison.
"Back?" Couid nodded.
"Hey, Grandpa, it's cold outside. Come in." Guo Xiang said.
"It's all right. I'll just stand for a while." Gu Sid smiled and was happy to see that his grandson and his wife were so good.
"Haven't you eaten yet? I made dumplings today. I'll cook two bowls of dumplings for you? " Aunt Zhang said.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!" Guo Xiang's mouth is very sweet. Gu Zhennan always doesn't speak.
After eating dumplings, they washed and went back to their room.
"Ah, finally back!" Guo Xiang threw himself into bed.
Gu Zhennan smiled and found that his daughter-in-law liked this action very much. It was very cute, like a small animal.
"Get up!" Gu Zhennan patted his daughter-in-law's ass.
"What's the matter?" Guo Xiang stood up muddleheaded and thought there was something wrong.
"Wait for me to lie down..." Gu Zhennan lay down on the bed and said to Guo Xiang, "just do it again!"
"..." Guo Xiang.
My husband's level of playing hooligans is getting higher and higher.
"What's the matter?" Gu Zhennan looked up at her. Why didn't he rush over?
"Get out..." Guo Xiang laughed and scolded, pulled on the quilt, buried Gu Zhennan, pressed him and laughed.
They made a scene in bed and rolled into bed again.
The next day they got up at more than nine o'clock. When they had breakfast, they saw Aunt Zhang doing hygiene.
"Aunt Zhang, are you cleaning today? I'll help you later! " Guo Xiang said.
"Good!" Zhang Shen smiled, "today is the 24th year of the year, which is the day to sweep the dust and sacrifice the stove."
"Today is twenty-four years old? Then yesterday was not Xiaonian? " Guo Xiang said, "we all forgot to spend a small year outside."
No wonder Aunt Zhang made so many dumplings yesterday. She also wants to eat dumplings for the new year.
"It's all right. It doesn't matter in the new year. Just spend the new year together." Aunt Zhang smiled.
Guo Xiang nodded, "I still remember a song in our capital:
Don't be greedy, child. It's the year of Laba.
Laba porridge, in a few days, Lilla 23.
23、 Sugar melon sticky; 24、 House sweeping day;
25、 Fried tofu; 26、 Stewed white meat;
27、 Kill the cock;... "
"Twenty eight, send the noodles..." Aunt Zhang smiled and then patted her forehead. "Yes, I also made Laba garlic. Would you like to try it?"
"Well, I haven't eaten for years." Guo Xiang smiled.
Aunt Zhang took out a transparent glass bottle with green Laba garlic from the kitchen cupboard.
"Why is it green?" Gu Zhennan is a little curious.
He left home early and his mother was depressed a few years before he left. Later, his father took Cheng Juan and didn't treat him as a son, so he didn't have any impression of the new year in Beijing.
"The Laba garlic is pickled with sugar and vinegar, so it turns green." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
Take two pairs of chopsticks, a small butterfly, clip out a few cloves of garlic, "try it!"
Gu Zhennan picked up chopsticks and threw one into his mouth. It was sour and sweet, with a little spicy flavor of garlic itself.
He nodded and suddenly missed the chopped pepper made by Wang Guiying. There would also be garlic in it. The salty and spicy food was the most delicious.
There is still a big dietary difference between the north and the south.
Guo Xiang also tasted one. "It's very authentic. It's the same as my mother's."
Aunt Zhang smiled very happily. Food makers like to be praised for their good cooking.
"Laba garlic is the best to eat dumplings. I forgot to take it out yesterday." Aunt Zhang said.
"It's all right. We can eat today." Guo Xiang smiled.
"Zhennan, let's help Aunt Zhang clean up together?" Guo Xiang said.
"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded. Although Aunt Zhang was only a nanny, she took care of Gu Xide for many years and has been doing her duty, so they regarded her as an elder. Now they naturally help together when they are free.
Gu Sid came out of the room. He felt very stuffy in the room alone. When he heard the excitement outside, he wanted to come out.
Aunt Zhang naturally understood his mind. She took a brazier and put it under the table and covered him with a thick blanket so that he could watch everyone work in the hall without staying alone in the room.
Guo Xiang was very grateful to Aunt Zhang for her care.
The small yard is not too big. Gu Zhennan is responsible for sweeping the dust, and Guo Xiang and Aunt Zhang scrub everywhere.
It was cold. Aunt Zhang burned hot water, so her hands wouldn't be so cold.
After working all morning, she ate dumplings at noon. In the afternoon, Aunt Zhang said she wanted to sacrifice the stove. Although the gas stove is now used, she said that the tradition can't be lost.
In the kitchen, a statue of the stove was pasted, and Kanto sugar and water were placed.
Then he pasted the New Year picture in the hall and asked Gu Zhennan to take the door god and paste it on the gate.
He brought another roll of red paper and said he wanted to cut window flowers.
This is generally not in the south. Guo Xiang thought it was fun and asked Aunt Zhang to teach herself to cut window flowers.
Aunt Zhang's hand is very skillful. She doesn't need to draw. The scissors in her hand turn around. Finally, when she spreads it out, it is a pair of magpie Primula.
"Aunt Zhang is so powerful!" Guo Xiang exclaimed.
"No, in the past, when I lived in the political and legal courtyard, my neighbors would come to ask Aunt Zhang for window flowers every new year. They have no place to go this year." Gusid smiled.
"Aunt Zhang, teach me quickly. I also want to cut it!" Guo Xiang is very positive.
"Well, it's not difficult. Look at me!" Aunt Zhang took out another cut red paper and folded it. Guo Xiang also folded it like her.
"Then cut a knife here first, and then do this..." Aunt Zhang said while Guo Xiang followed.
In the last exhibition, although Guo Xiang's is not as beautiful as Aunt Zhang's, you can probably see the pattern, which is quite good.
"Xiao Guo is really smart. Just learn!" Aunt Zhang is very satisfied.
Guo Xiang smiled. Maybe because he always took the scalpel and scissors, he did a good job? But let her knit a sweater or something really hurt her hand.
Gu Zhennan looked at her and smiled. Her daughter-in-law was smart and no one could match her.
"Put this on the window of our room?" Guo Xiang gave Gu Zhennan the window flower he cut. Although it was not cut evenly, it was his first work and worth staying.
The villas of later generations almost don't stick these, even if they are pasted, they are also finished products bought.
"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded happily. No matter how ugly her daughter-in-law cut, she couldn't lose it.
