Chapter 321 Sheng Xitai Gets Carried Away

After staying in the mountains for nearly three months, Mr. Sheng and Liancheng finally came back for the holidays. It happened to be the New Year's Eve, so they must make something delicious.

Zhang Shuzhen had already planned to make dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork today.

So last night she brought some pieces of meat back from outside and let Sheng Xikang chop them out this morning.

"Daughter, when the child is asleep, you should also take a nap. Don't worry about things at home. I take care of everything.

When the dumplings are ready, I'll come over and ask you to eat. "

Zhang Shuzhen changed Sheng Xinhua's diaper and put the baby to sleep, then carefully placed it next to Zhou Qinglan so that the two of them could sleep together.

Zhang Shuzhen came out of the west room, quickly opened the sauerkraut jar, and took out two sauerkraut plants from it.

In October, sauerkraut is pickled in a vat and can only be eaten after the full moon.

By now, it has been several months, and the outermost vegetables of the sauerkraut are a bit rotten.

So you have to peel off the outermost layer, leaving the inner part, and wash it twice in the basin.

Wash and dry the sauerkraut and put it on the chopping board and shred it. After cutting it all, put it in twice, knead it into balls, and then chop it into pieces.

I took out some of the grease stains left by the previous simmering, chopped it into pieces, and put it into the minced meat.

The key to the deliciousness of these sauerkraut and pork dumplings is that there should be some oil in them.

In particular, wild boar meat itself is lean and does not have so much fat. If it is not stained with oil, it will not taste good at all.

Mince the meat filling and oil, then add chopped green onion, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce and other seasonings, scoop out two spoons of the old soup from yesterday's meat frying, stir well, and finally pour the pickled cabbage filling in and mix evenly.

The noodles are ready, the dumpling fillings are ready, and the whole family starts cooking together.

Sheng Xiping kneaded the dough and cut the ingredients, Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xi'an rolled out the dough, Zhang Shuzhen led the two girls to make dumplings, Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng used the dumpling legs to make the dumplings.

Sheng Xikang went to pick garlic and smash the garlic sauce, bring dumplings to the outhouse, light the fire and wash the pot to boil water. Anyway, no one was idle and had work to do.

As a family, how about some dumplings? At three o'clock, the dumplings are ready.

In the kitchen, Sheng Xikang boiled a pot of water and it was boiling.

Zhang Shuzhen came out, holding the curtain, and dropped all the dumplings into the pot with a splash.

"Old Sheng, go and turn off the whip. The dumplings will be cooked in a while and we will eat."

Sheng Liancheng went down early this year, and his whole family was here, so there was no need to wait until five or six o'clock to eat. He had to pack up and eat quickly. How about resting early?

"Hey, I got it, let's go now." Sheng Liancheng responded and walked out with a two-hundred-ring firecracker.

"Boss, don't come out. Go to the West Room and cover your son's ears. The firecrackers will make a lot of noise, so don't scare him."

After all, Sheng Liancheng is also the father of six children. This is where his experience lies. When he saw that his eldest son was about to follow him out, he hurriedly said.

"Oh, isn't it? I didn't even think of this."

Sheng Xiping slapped his forehead. He really forgot about this and hurriedly turned around and went to the west room.

On the kang in the west room, Zhou Qinglan was sleeping with her son in her arms. When she heard someone coming in, Zhou Qinglan woke up. "What happened?"

"It's okay, our dad is going to set off the whip, so let me come over and cover Xinhua's ears." Sheng Xiping said while covering his son's ears with his hands.

At this time, Sheng Liancheng lit firecrackers in the yard.

The firecrackers were bought by Sheng Liancheng from the forest farm store at noon. They were not as loud as the ones bought in advance and placed under the kangqin. The sound seemed a bit muffled.

Even so, Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng were so happy that they stood in the yard and clapped their hands and jumped up and down.

In the west room, Sheng Xinhua seemed not to hear the sound at all and still slept soundly.

"This little guy, the dog outside made him cry. Now that the whip is off, he actually sleeps soundly."

When the sounds outside stopped, Sheng Xiping moved his hand away. Looking at his son's still sleeping face, Sheng Xiping carefully leaned over and kissed his son on the forehead.

"Son, grow up quickly. When you grow up, daddy will take you out to set off firecrackers."

"Well, you don't need to tell me this. When Xinhua gets bigger in the future, all the bad guys will follow you out to do whipping.

Brat, he just loves a whip, he can't be as quiet as a girl. "

Zhou Qinglan started laughing. It was conceivable that there would be another bastard in the Sheng family.

"With his brother-in-law taking care of him, he will definitely be a master at climbing into houses and causing mischief in the future."

Zhou Qinglan felt her head buzzing when she thought of this. It would be better to have a daughter to save her worries.

"For boys, it's normal to be a little skinny.

What did Xiaofeng look like when he first arrived? Look how good it is now for Lao Liu to take care of him. He is skinny, healthy and smart. "

Men and women think differently. Zhou Qinglan was worried about how to take care of children in the future, but Sheng Xiping felt that boys were born with such nature that they should be more lively and out-of-the-box.

Just be naughty, what boy doesn't get into trouble? I remember doing it when he was little.

When Zhou Qinglan heard this, she rolled her eyes at Sheng Xiping. Just as she was about to speak, someone knocked on the door of the west room, "Brother, sister-in-law, the dumplings are ready."

After the words fell, Sheng Yunfang opened the door and came in, holding a plate of steaming dumplings in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, our mother told you that you are still in confinement and cannot eat garlic sauce, so just eat some dumplings."

Sheng Yunfang put the plate and chopsticks on the kang, then turned around and went out.

"The dumplings are ready, you go out to eat quickly. It's already this time, aren't you hungry?"

Zhou Qinglan picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and was about to eat it when she saw Sheng Xiping sitting there motionless, so she asked.

"It's okay. I'll wait until you finish eating and then I'll eat. What if your brat starts crying when you're halfway through eating?"

Sheng Xiping smiled, lying on the edge of the kang, staring at his eldest son.

“Our mother said not to stare at the child all the time.

You go out to eat quickly. Why can’t I eat these dumplings? Do not worry. "Zhou Qinglan asked Sheng Xiping to go to dinner.

Sheng Xiping refused and just sat there without moving. Zhou Qinglan had no choice but to eat the dumplings quickly.

"Well, the dumplings made today are so delicious. Our mother's skill in preparing the stuffing is amazing. They are delicious."

The dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork were still stained with oil. Taking one bite was really delicious. Zhou Qinglan nodded while eating.

"Here, you eat one too." Zhou Qinglan took one and put it to Sheng Xiping's mouth, letting him eat it.

"You can eat by yourself. I will go back to the east room to eat later. If you eat more, you will feel more comfortable in your stomach than if I eat it. Eat yours quickly."

Sheng Xiping shook his head and asked Zhou Qinglan to eat it by himself.

Not to mention, Zhou Qinglan's appetite has increased since she became pregnant. She could finish a plate of dumplings by herself.

"Well, it's so delicious and fragrant."

As soon as Zhou Qinglan finished speaking, Sheng Xinhua, who was sleeping on the kang, frowned and started to murmur.

When Sheng Xiping saw it, he quickly went over to pick up the child, unbuckled the quilt and reached out to touch it. It was all wet.

"You brat, you are filial and know how to let your mother finish her meal before making any fuss."

Sheng Xiping was already very skilled in taking care of children. Before Zhou Qinglan could do anything, he changed his son's diaper and quilt, wrapped him up again, and sent him to Zhou Qinglan's arms.

"Okay, you feed him, and I'll go back to the east room to eat. If you need anything, call me."

After saying that, he took out the plate and chopsticks, put them on the pot table, and then went to the east room to eat.

In the east room, everyone had finished eating, and there were still two plates of dumplings on the table.

Sheng Xiping didn't care about that, just sat on the edge of the Kang and started eating.

"Boss, eat these, they're hot."

At this time, Zhang Shuzhen brought two plates of dumplings into the room and placed them in front of her son.

The dumplings would get cold after taking them out for a long time, so Zhang Shuzhen put two plates of dumplings in the pot in advance just so that her son could eat them hot.

"Mom, I can eat anything, it's okay."

If there is something hot, who would eat something cold? Sheng Xiping went directly to pick up the hot dumplings.

"Well, the dumplings today are so fragrant and delicious."

"Don't eat in vain. There is garlic sauce and chili oil here. If you want to eat, just scoop some on the plate."

Zhang Shuzhen smiled and pushed the garlic sauce bowl and chili oil bowl in front of her son. "Are you jealous? I'll get you vinegar."

"Mom, no need. It's good to eat it just like this. It's stuffed with sauerkraut, so there's no need to add vinegar."

Sheng Xiping waved his hand, took a spoon and scooped some garlic sauce into a small plate, then some chili oil, and ate the dumplings for dipping.

With Sheng Xiping's appetite, two plates of dumplings were no problem at all, and they were all eaten in a short time.

After Sheng Xiping finished eating, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei picked up the plates and bowls, wiped the table with a rag, took it to the outhouse and erected it against the wall.

Sheng Xiping went to pour two tea jars of hot water and sat on the kang chatting with Sheng Liancheng.

"By the way, Lao Liu, how did you do in the final exam? And Xiaofeng, what about you? How many points did you get in the final exam?"

The last time he came back, Sheng Xiping was busy taking care of his wife and children, so he didn't have the time to ask these questions.

The whole family was here and had nothing to do. Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"Brother, my final grade this time is really good. I'm second in the class, just one point behind the first place.

My sister-in-law said that my composition was a little bad, otherwise I would have been ranked first. "

When her eldest brother mentioned the final results, Sheng Xitai came to his senses and said proudly, patting his chest.

"My sister-in-law praises me and says I'm smart. If I take classes and listen to lectures well next semester, I might be number one in the class."

This guy is rarely ranked second in the class, which can last for several years.

"Xiao Feng's grades are pretty good too, with 100 points in math and Chinese. There are three or four double 100s in his class, so he's probably tied for first place."

Before Chen Feng could speak, Sheng Xitai told Chen Feng's results again.

"Hey, the first-grade questions are so easy. I can answer double hundred with my eyes closed."

Ranking second in the class gave Sheng Xitai immense confidence, and he was a little proud.

"Haha, really? How do I remember that when you were in first grade, you were almost at the bottom of the class at the end of the semester?"

Sheng Xiping looked at the old man, sneered twice, and asked.

Sheng Xitai, who was feeling very proud, suddenly deflated like a popped balloon when he heard these words.

"Brother, Xiaofeng is still here. If you just say this about me, where can I put my brother-in-law's face?"

Sheng Xitai was unhappy, pouting and mumbling.

"Hmph, your elder brother said you were right, I think you haven't been very good at it these days.

Whose credit does it take for you to be second in the class? Is it you?

That's your sister-in-law, who watches you studying at school during the day, and comes home to watch you do homework and review. Without your sister-in-law, you would still be fighting wolves at the back of your class. "

At the other end, Zhang Shuzhen, who had finished cleaning the kitchen, came into the room, glared at her youngest son, and hummed.

"You just said that your sister-in-law praised you, why didn't you say that she asked you to read more, memorize ancient poems, and write a diary? Did you write it?

You take Xiaofeng out all day long, and I am too busy to settle the score with you. Are you still beautiful?

Just wait, your sister-in-law will be pregnant in a few days, see how she deals with you. "

During this period of time, Zhang Shuzhen had to serve Zhou Qinglan during confinement, wash clothes, cook and take care of the family, so she really didn't have time to care about Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng.

It was just in time for the winter vacation. Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng ran out to run wild after dinner in the morning and did not come back until lunch time.

I don’t know if I have finished my winter vacation homework, I guess I haven’t finished it yet.

The person Sheng Xitai was most afraid of was his eldest brother before and now his sister-in-law.

I was having so much fun these days that I immediately forgot all the study tasks assigned by my sister-in-law.

At this moment, after being reminded by his mother, Sheng Xitai suddenly realized that the holiday seemed to be almost halfway over, and he had not written a few words in his holiday homework.

"Can't I write tomorrow?" Sheng Xitai shrank his shoulders and moved to the North Kang.

He dug out his schoolbag from the cabinet at the edge of the kang, found out the ancient poems that his sister-in-law had prepared in advance to recite, and hid in a corner and muttered the recitations.

Seeing Sheng Xitai's virtue, everyone in the family except Chen Feng couldn't help laughing.

Sheng Xiping also shook his head helplessly. This bear thing was quite smart, but he just didn't want to study. All he could think about was eating and playing.

If there is a word to describe this kind of person in later generations, it would be "xuesu".

Not a top student or a bad student, but somewhere in between.

If someone is knocking next to it, pinching it hard a few times, and applying a little pressure, it can be formed. But if no one cares about it, it will fall into pieces.

In the previous life, no one in the Sheng family could control Sheng Xitai in his studies. This kid had poor grades and had no choice but to join the army.

In this life, Zhou Qinglan became a teacher, and she stared at Sheng Xitai and beat him all the time.

According to the current pace, as long as no big surprises occur, Sheng Xitai will probably be successful.

So Sheng Xiping was thinking that he should add more steel to let his wife take good care of Sheng Xitai.

If this kid's intelligence is really used in his studies, he should have no problem getting into college in the future.

In the 1980s, college students were still very valuable and promising. For the sake of their own good, they had to be strictly disciplined.

Fortunately, Sheng Xitai didn't know what his brother was thinking. If he knew, he would probably cry to death.

From now on, I'm afraid I won't have a leisurely life, it's miserable.

After cleaning up Sheng Xitai, Sheng Xiping asked about the results of several other siblings.

Not to mention, since Zhou Qinglan came to the Sheng family, the grades of these naughty kids have generally improved.

This made both Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping happy, and Sheng Liancheng even praised the children.

Sheng Liancheng, his father and his son, had lived in the mountains for several months and finally came home for a family reunion. There must be something to talk about.

There are many interesting things happening in the mountains and at home. The whole family is just sitting on the hot kang, talking and chatting. Unknowingly, it is too late.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and go to bed. There is still work tomorrow." When the time came, Zhang Shuzhen urged everyone to go to bed.

"Boss, we are getting married on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month in Weiguo. Do you guys have to go into the mountains to do something?"

"Well, I plan to buy some condoms tomorrow, and take the dog for a walk in the mountains the day after tomorrow to get some things for Wei Guo to hold a banquet."
