But Tang Xiaoman's good mood did not last long.
The next day, New Year's Eve.
Tang Xiaoman got up early in the morning, packed up all the New Year's goods that were to be taken back to the Su family's old house today, and loaded them on his ox cart.
Of course, including the beef, mutton, pork and some cloth bought yesterday.
Speaking of this piece of cloth, Tang Xiaoman originally planned to polish it up before giving it to the Su family, but it was a bit too late.
Tang Xiaoman placed Su Pingan's wheelchair on the bullock cart, and then she drove the bullock cart back to the Su family's old house.
After arriving at Su's house, Tang Xiaoman realized that he was still a little too young.
Today is New Year's Eve, and it was actually almost noon when they arrived. Normally, the New Year's Eve dinner should be prepared at noon, but the house was deserted, the stove was cold, and no one was lighting a fire at all.
Where did these people go? As soon as Su Pingan and Tang Xiaoman entered the door, a sweet voice came from inside.
"Third uncle, third aunt, you are going home to celebrate the New Year!"
I saw Little Peach Blossom jumping out of her room. She was still wearing her usual old cotton-padded jacket.
The child has grown a bit taller, but his body looks thinner.
Tang Xiaoman felt very sorry for Little Taohua, patted her head and said, "This is the new hair flower I bought for you!"
After saying that, a very cute red head flower appeared on the little peach blossom's head.
Moreover, this head flower is the latest style and very beautiful. Of course, Little Peach Blossom was very surprised. She happily touched the flower with her hand and started jumping up and down.
Tang Xiaoman then asked Xiao Taohua, "Where is your mother?" Xiao Taohua pointed to the warehouse with her hand. There was also a special place for putting and washing vegetables in the room where the kitchen was lit.
Xiao Taohua lifted the door curtain and saw Mr. Liu washing vegetables inside.
Tang Xiaoman handed all the meat and vegetables he brought to Mrs. Liu and said to Mrs. Liu, "This is the new year's goods we bought!"
Ms. Liu quickly took it and said, "Xiaoman, you are already very happy when you come back to celebrate the New Year. Why are you bringing so many things!"
Tang Xiaoman smiled and said nothing.
At this time, he saw Mrs. Zhao coming out of the back room while smacking melon seeds. When she saw Tang Xiaoman coming back, her eyes turned white, and then she said in a pretentious manner: "Are the Xiaomans and his wife back?"
Tang Xiaoman ignored her, she was asking for trouble.
Su Ping'an had already turned around and went into the house to see his parents.
However, Su Ping'an didn't have much communication with his sister-in-law.
Tang Xiaoman ignored Mrs. Zhao and asked Mrs. Liu, "Second sister-in-law, why are you cooking so late today?"
Mrs. Liu was about to reply, but when she saw Mrs. Zhao's face, she immediately lowered her head and stopped speaking.
"I just went to my mother's room. I had something to say to her, so I didn't come over to help you cook. Don't mind, sister!"
Mrs. Liu quickly said: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to do, go and do it! I can handle it here by myself!"
"Really? I don't care about that! I have to go back and change my son's new clothes!"
After that, she left.
Seeing that Zhao had gone away, Ms. Liu said to Tang Xiaoman: "It's late today because my brother-in-law hasn't come back yet! My eldest brother just went to the city to pick up my brother-in-law, so my mother asked us to prepare the meal..."
I dare to say that if Su Bingcheng doesn’t go home to celebrate the New Year, the Su family may not even eat the New Year’s Eve dinner this year!
Since Su Bingcheng is back, there should be a scene of affection between mother and son in the house now. Tang Xiaoman said that he did not want to go into the house now to watch the scene of affection between mother and son. But she turned around and saw, when did Su Pingan go in?
This guy really doesn’t make people worry!
Tang Xiaoman was also virtuous. She rolled up her sleeves and said to Mrs. Liu, "Second sister-in-law, let me help you cook!"
"OK, all right……"
Mrs. Liu looked flattered. She was actually a little disappointed when Mrs. Zhao was left here just now, but now that Tang Xiaoman took the initiative to help her cook, Mrs. Liu felt warm in her heart.
The two people were busy in the kitchen. There were really a lot of dishes to prepare today, but from time to time there was laughter and laughter from inside the house.
Tang Xiaoman was surprised that there was also the voice of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao. Didn't Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang have a falling out because of Su Wangcai being imprisoned? Now, Mrs. Zhao came in and had a laugh with Mrs. Wang.
Tang Xiaoman expressed her doubts, but Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "You didn't know that this sister-in-law can coax people, and now my mother likes her very much!"
It turns out that Mrs. Zhao relied on her clever mouth to win the favor of Mrs. Wang again, which was really a bit confusing.
Tang Xiaoman was speechless.
It seemed that people with sweet mouths were more popular with others. She looked at Mrs. Liu who was working hard and couldn't help but sigh.
Ms. Liu has a lot of work to do, but the one who has the worst situation in the family, her husband treats her badly and doesn't talk to her, and the whole family seems to come and pinch her, who is a soft persimmon.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh.
"No, a few days ago I saw my aunt giving grandma fifty cents and buying her a new cigarette bag!"
After Xiao Taohua finished speaking, she looked at the room, where laughter and laughter continued.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped Xiao Taohua, "Children, don't talk nonsense!"
She scolded Xiao Taohua, who did not dare to speak. It turns out that Mrs. Wang really has the habit of smoking cigarettes, and she just can't put it down for the new cigarette bag.
So the old Mrs. Wang is naturally very proud of Zhao, but where did Zhao get so much money?
Today's New Year's Eve is a highlight. Tang Xiaoman finally found that the Su family has so many ingredients for cooking, and the ingredients are also very sufficient. Tang Xiaoman said in her heart, today I will show you my skills.
After all, she and Su Pingan had to eat this meal together, so they couldn't take it too seriously. In her previous life, Tang Xiaoman was still a gourmet and snack connoisseur, so she took this opportunity to cook a few dishes properly.
Tang Xiaoman skillfully plucked the old hen's feathers and bled it. Then she hollowed out all the internal organs of the hen and put in some glutinous rice, wolfberry and other spices that were available at home.
Tang Xiaoman's operation stunned Liu who was standing by.
"Brother and sister, I've never seen you so good before? You turn out to be so good at cooking!"
The previous owner was lazy to the core, so naturally he was not as proficient in cooking as Tang Xiaoman.
Tang Xiaoman smiled, then put the hen stuffed with ingredients into a small pot and stewed it.
This dish would take some time, so she asked Mrs. Liu to help with lighting the fire first.
Tang Xiaoman was also very surprised to see that today's vegetables include fungus and green pepper. After all, these things are hard to see in winter.
She thought for a moment, right!
