Chapter 716 The Most Precious Good Thing
When they are not delivering goods, the cattle and horses are fed in the countryside. Anyone in the village can borrow them as long as it is convenient.
Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao exercise early every morning, bringing Xu Laowu and Erlang along with them.
In particular, Lao Wu is a tall and powerful man. He has been working in the iron industry for many years. He has a strong body and brute strength. Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao taught him some fighting skills and flexible steps, which made Lao Wu feel enlightened.
When I first asked him to exercise, he was not willing to go. He felt that it would waste his time to do things. After all, he had multiple jobs...
After I learned the ropes later, I felt that my work became much easier. There was no need for Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao to call him. They just automatically got up and waited for Xu Jiaojiao and his wife.
Erlang joined later. As soon as Erlang joined, the boys from the old Xu family, Xiaosilang, Sanlang, and Xiaowulang all joined.
A unique team of Lao Xu’s family went up to the mountain for early training.
So many people went to the mountains to exercise together. With the strength of many people, they were idle. They contracted the work of transporting spring water to the mountains in the morning.
After the morning exercise, the mountain spring water truck was transported back to the winery.
Kill multiple birds with one stone.
This is not Xu Jiaojiao's overthinking. What if Liao Qing really goes to the big college next year? Even if she goes there occasionally, even if she goes there occasionally, if something unexpected happens at home when she is not at home, these old Xu family
It would be more reassuring if the men could do some boxing and kicking.
It can be considered as a precautionary measure.
Years ago, I brewed a batch of Anshen Pills, and after making the wine that won the gold medal, the number of Anshen Pills was greatly reduced.
Except for the top-quality tranquilizing pills that have not been touched, the ordinary tranquilizing pills are given to Xiao Hei, and he occasionally takes them, and a large part of them are used on the gold list wine, which is almost used up.
This time, the He family sent more than twenty snow stone lotus worms, all of which were boiled.
The Anshen Pills can be stored for a long time. After her observation, they will not expire within at least a few years. But with Xu Xiaohei and the wine named on the Golden List, she is afraid that her Anshen Pills will not be stored for two years at all.
Half of the Anshen Pills she prepared in the past had to be sent back to the He family. This time she bought them herself. Mrs. He's condition improved and she no longer needed the Anshen Pills. She left behind all the Anshen Pills.
Twenty bugs, some big and some small, came out this time with three top-quality tranquilizing pills.
There were seven pills left before, but this time there were ten top-quality tranquilizing pills in total. These are Xu Jiaojiao's most precious goodies.
It will not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Then, the top grade, middle grade and bottom grade totaled more than sixty pieces.
It seems like a lot. If there are no extra expenses, Jiaojiao can just eat and play by herself. It can last for several years. With Xu Xiaohei, a foodie, one pill every month, plus the gold list wine, then
It only lasts for one year at most.
With money in hand and tranquilizing pills, you can live a prosperous year. As the saying goes, if you have food in hand, you will not panic.
***
This year is a cold year. As the New Year approaches, it starts to snow and it snows for several days.
Everyone who had nothing to do was warming up the fire at home, and Lao Xu’s family entered New Year mode in advance.
There was plenty of food and drink, and several hundred kilograms of charcoal was purchased. In the front yard where Xu Zhang and his wife lived, a charcoal fire was lit in the middle hall, which was kept constant and kept the room warm.
In the backyard where Xu Jiaojiao and the others lived, a charcoal fire was also lit in the study room, so that Liao Qing could study and learn without freezing his hands and feet.
There was also a holiday in Shiro's school, so during the day we went to Liao Qing's study in the backyard to enjoy the charcoal fire, read and write together.
Xu Jiaojiao and the others were chatting, doing embroidery and shoemaking work, and warming themselves by the fire in the central hall of the front yard. The quiet study in the back yard was left to them to study.
The New Year atmosphere in the village is also very strong. Although the weather is bad and it snows heavily, it does not prevent them from going to the market to sell New Year goods. The smell of meat is wafting from every house, and everyone is smiling. Old Xu’s family is celebrating the New Year this year.
He was so generous that he gave five kilograms of rice and noodles as a festival gift to every household in the village. Those who were polite also returned some in return one after another.
There are a lot of things to say back, but they are all just thoughts.
On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, a big sun came out and all the snow melted.
Many houses in the village have thatched roofs, and the snow is too thick. If it were like previous years, because the inside of the house would be warmer than outside, the snow underneath would melt first, seep into the thatch, and then rain would leak.
This year, life in Xujia Village has basically been better, and almost all roofs have been repaired. There are several households in need. Xu Youde and Xu Zhang secretly donated money and asked Li Zheng to come forward and help them repair their roofs.
Therefore, Xujiacun plans to have a new and solid year this year.
In the early morning, every household posted Spring Festival couplets, adults and children wore new clothes, and women were busy in the kitchen cooking delicious food, including chicken, duck, and fish. This day was the reunion dinner.
The most hearty meal of the year.
Lao Xu's family has become rich this year, so the food is naturally more abundant. They roasted two fat pig's trotters and stewed them according to the method provided by Xu Jiaojiao.
Home-made pickled vegetables like this, two big pig's trotters, smell a strong aroma from a distance.
There was also the old hen that Mrs. Xu Zhang killed with a knife last night. The old hen was stewed in fresh mushroom soup. It had been simmered overnight. The thick soup was shiny and fragrant.
There are also steamed pork ribs with potatoes on the bottom, steamed meat on top, and steamed pork ribs. They are both glutinous and fragrant.
Fried pork spring rolls, fried tofu meatballs, frozen fish cakes, and the indispensable fragrant big meat buns, big steamed dumplings...
Xu Youde suggested that the fourth family be invited to have a family reunion dinner together, but Xu Zhang did not approve.
It's not that I don't want to feed that beastly bastard, the fourth child, but I just waste my money when I see him. He didn't do anything stupid before. It's not a person. It's disgusting. Damn it. Within a few years, that impression won't be gone.
The Chinese New Year is all about a harmonious atmosphere. If you call the Fourth Brother over and everyone feels uncomfortable, what’s the point?
Finally, Mrs. Xu Zhang called Luo Shi and the three children over for dinner. Luo Shi resisted drooling for a long time, but still refused, saying that he would have a meal at home with his fourth son, and let the three children come over to eat with his grandma.
Reunion dinner.
This is also true!
Sanlang, Wulang, and Xiaoliulang were all wearing new clothes. The three brothers were all beaming with joy. They came over and bowed down to Xu Youde and Xu Zhang to wish them a good year.
Especially Xiao Liulang, who had grown two years older when Xu Jiaojiao traveled through time.
The snotty dumplings I used to have are now much cleaner and taller.
I don’t like to cry anymore, I am more cute and cute, following my brothers, every move is in perfect harmony.
Make people laugh.
