Chapter 434 Winter Solstice Dinner
Chapter 434 Winter Solstice Dinner
He quickly looked around, then shook his head and said to An Ning, "An Ning, don't talk nonsense."
An Ning quickly shut her mouth, and the two sisters sat quietly, but their eyes occasionally glanced at the busy crowd.
An Yuechunzhi and her group continued to be busy with their work and did not pay much attention to the arrival of An Jing and An Ning.
Aunt Zhang looked at her two daughters from time to time, feeling mixed emotions.
She was happy about the arrival of her two daughters, but she was also worried that they had ulterior motives.
Half an hour passed.
The eldest daughter stood up quietly, walked up to Zhang, and said softly, "Mother, I see that this shop has a lot of customers. Can't we make ten taels of silver every day?"
Zhang just glanced at her eldest daughter quietly and didn't say anything.
At this time, An Yue came over.
She looked at An Jing and An Ning, and said calmly: "My elder sister and second sister have finished reminiscing with my aunt, and the shop is very busy now, so we don't have time to entertain you for a while."
"How about...you guys just go back?"
When An Jing and An Ning heard An Yue's words, a hint of displeasure appeared on their faces.
An Jing frowned and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
An Ning lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
Aunt Zhang looked at her two daughters, then looked at An Yue, and said with some difficulty: "Yue Yue, this..."
An Yue raised her chin slightly and said calmly, "Aunt, let me say it again. Our shop is very busy right now. There are no tables or chairs for customers to sit on, and we don't have time to greet them."
An Jing bit her lip, took a step forward and said, "Sister An Yue, we came here today just to see mother and grandmother, there is no other intention."
An Jing pulled An Ning's arm, stared at An Yue, and said angrily: "An Ning, let's go and not disturb them from doing business."
After saying that, the two sisters walked towards the door of the shop.
An Yue folded her arms across her chest and watched their departing backs with interest.
She couldn't help but smile calmly, and secretly said in her heart: [Just forget about your little tricks! ]
An Ning followed An Jing to the door reluctantly, and looked back at Zhang.
Zhang looked at her two daughters' leaving backs, feeling somewhat melancholy.
An Yue glanced at her aunt who was wiping the table and said nothing.
But the encounter between them made the aunt-in-law naturally hide away.
Zhang lowered her head, frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and continued to work on the task at hand.
An Yue knew that her aunt was feeling unhappy at the moment.
But An Yue also understood that the sisters An Jing and An Ning were not easy to deal with. Visiting them at this time was just a weasel's way of wishing a happy new year - they had no good intentions.
It was a bit cloudy and rainy in the afternoon.
An Yue took advantage of the fact that the shops at the market were still open and hurriedly picked up her backpack to buy meat.
I bought flour, a few pounds of pork and ribs, two pieces of pork liver, and a four-pound carp.
......
An Nian came to the shop from the school at the west entrance of the town.
An Yue picked some spices to take home and make a sumptuous dinner.
She saw An Nian walk into the shop and asked with a smile, "Niannian, why are you leaving school so early today?"
"The teacher said that today is the winter solstice, so we should go home early." An Nian said, walking up to An Yue with a smile.
Shen Shi.
After the family cleaned up the stall in the shop, Erzhu, Axia and Cui Niang went back to their homes.
An Yue and her family closed the shop and prepared to go home.
After closing the door, Da Niu led the mule cart and the family got on the mule cart and went home.
Along the way, An Yue's heart was full of emotion.
During this period of time, the whole family has been working together to make money, and now their lives are getting better and better.
The weather on the winter solstice was overcast and rainy, and it was quite chilly sitting on the mule cart.
......
After returning home.
Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer carried Xiaobao on her back and kneaded dough to make dumplings.
The whole family gathered in the kitchen, busy washing vegetables, cutting meat, cooking and preparing hot pot.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with steam.
The family members are busy running back and forth, and the whole house is filled with warmth and happiness.
Grandma handed over firewood, Chunzhi chopped the meat, A'er washed various vegetables, and the aunt-in-law cut the pork for the hot pot on the chopping board.
An Yue was preparing to make a braised fish. She skillfully put oil into the pot and added some coarse salt.
Then, put the cleaned carp into the pan and fry the fish until both sides are golden brown.
Finally, add spices and soy sauce and simmer for a quarter of an hour.
......
Soon, everything was ready.
An Nian set out the dishes and chopsticks, and the family sat around the eight-immortals table on the benches in the main hall and began to enjoy the hotpot.
The steam from the hot pot rises in the main hall, and with the laughter of the family, the cold winter solstice is no longer biting.
An Yue looked at everyone's satisfied expressions and her heart was filled with happiness.
She picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth, the fresh taste spread on the tip of her tongue.
This familiar smell reminded her of how difficult the journey had been.
An Yue put down the chopsticks in her hand and said with emotion: "Now our lives are getting better and better, but everyone is also very hard-working on weekdays. Let's eat more today."
After hearing this, everyone smiled and nodded.
......
After the winter solstice, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, and the weather is not as good as before.
It was foggy most of the day.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Early in the morning, the family was busy in the shop as usual.
Suddenly, two people walked into the shop.
An Yue turned around and saw quietness and peace.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Yueyue, it's winter now and there's not much farm work to do in the fields at home. We thought Sister An Yue's shop is busy again, so we thought of coming over to help."
An Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the two sisters.
There was a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes: "Help?"
An Jing immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Sister An Yue, we were wrong before. Now, we really want to help."
An Ning also said, "Yes! We are here to help our family run the shop. In the future, we will be able to hold our heads up high in my husband's family, right?"
An Yue snorted and said, "Then I have to take a good look at your performance."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the cabbage and potatoes beside her.
He said, "Would you please wash the cabbage in a basin first?"
An Jing and An Ning looked at each other, rolled up their sleeves, and walked to get the wooden basin to wash the cabbage.
The water was icy cold today, and An Yue just wanted to see how long they could hold on.
Jing and Anning gritted their teeth and washed the cabbage back and forth in the cold water with their hands.
Soon, their hands were frozen red, but they still did not give up.
An Yue watched them silently from the side, wanting to see when they would back down.
