Otherworldly Days

Chapter 269

After the winter moon, the sky is getting colder and colder, and the snow outside has hardly stopped.

The people in the village still go out to clean the road when the snow stops for a short time. Even though the road will be covered by the falling snow soon, they still wait for the snow to stop before running outside. Do these jobs.

In Caojia Village this year, the old people and children in the village said that this was the best winter they had ever had. They had enough food to fill their stomachs without going hungry, and they also had warm clothes.The air leaks in the house were mended before the winter, and there was no cold wind coming in when sleeping in it, so even if it was winter, people’s hearts were full of joy and anticipation, hoping that this winter would pass quickly, and next year would be even better. good.

In previous years, some people in the village would freeze to death in their sleep in the cold winter, and this year there was no accident.If something happened in the village, Li Zheng and the two deputy village chiefs would deal with it in advance, but fortunately nothing major happened.

Everyone living in the academy was alright. Later, Cao Xiangnan went there twice, mainly to see how the children were doing.A few children went to the academy, they had food and clothing, and they were fatter than when they first came here. The lazy guys who were caught last time don't dare to be lazy anymore.

It was a bad day, and the academy was closed. The brothers in the village took the children there for a period of time, and after a period of class, they learned a few words and simple arithmetic, which opened up a new path for them.Everyone hoped that the snow would stop, so that they could go back to study with their husband, but the weather was not as expected, and the snow continued to fall.

There was nothing going on outside, Cao Xiangnan stayed at home most of the time, eating on the hour every day, eating and drinking was another day, at most he would go to Cao Gang's house across the street when the snow stopped.

In recent days, the family often kills chickens, and he cuts off the chicken feet to make chicken feet with pickled peppers.A jar of chicken feet with pickled peppers was unsealed. After trying a few small ones, they didn't want to eat them. They were too spicy. However, Wanfeng, Aning and Fang Ziye sat in the living room and ate them non-stop.

"Hiss... so spicy..."

"Yes, very spicy, very spicy, delicious."

The people who ate the ground couldn't stop at all. The lips of several people were red when they ate the ground. They were breathing and saying how spicy it was while eating.

"..." Cao Xiangnan sat there and peeled a roasted chestnut from time to time to satisfy his hunger.

Fortunately, these chickens have no hormones, and the chicken feet with pickled peppers he made have no food additives and pigments and other modern industrial additives. If you eat too much, there is nothing else but spicy.

In addition, he also steamed a plate of drunken crabs. Er Shun and Xiao Su like to eat drunken crabs. The two young ones are about the same age, just the age of gluttony. After a bit of taste.However, rather than eating these things, Dr. Huang prefers to take a sip of shochu.

"These days, life is like a fairy." After taking a sip of soju, Old Doctor Huang was also half drunk, squinting his eyes and shaking his head there.

A Wu sat there listening to the old doctor Huang talking without a word, the glass of wine was still in his hand.Now seeing that the master's belly is so big, he maintains his silent attitude as always.

From that day on, Fang Ziye stayed at his place to raise a baby with peace of mind. He had experience in taking care of his own daughter-in-law, and Cao Xiangnan was also quite experienced in taking care of her pregnant husband.But Fang Ziye didn't need him to take care of him, he had servants and doctors who came with him, at most, he would make some nourishing food for him to eat every day.

I don't know if it's because he ate well and slept better, but Fang Ziye's whole body became fatter like blowing up a balloon, and his complexion gradually became better and better, even if he tried to cover up his distended belly.What's more, he didn't hide his growing belly anymore. There was a stove in the house to keep him warm, and he didn't wear a thick coat anymore, so even the children at home knew about his belly There is a little doll living in it.

Ah Ning knew that Fang Ziye was pregnant, she was a little surprised, she accepted it naturally, and took the initiative to take care of the pregnant person.

Only a few familiar faces came in and out of the house. Sun Bailian knew that Fang Ziye was pregnant.As for Cao Gang and the others, they don't even care about other people's affairs.

"Okay, let's eat the rest another day, and we can't eat any more." When the chicken feet on a small plate were eaten up, Qi Wanfeng announced that he couldn't eat any more.

Fang Ziye's eyes fell on the jar beside him, he knew there were still many in the jar.The chicken feet that he ate were so hot that his face was flushed, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and "I want to eat" was written in his eyes.

"Don't eat, don't eat, I can't stop eating this thing, the more I eat, the more I want to eat it. Come on, Wanfeng, Ziyu, drink some water, too." Ah Ning poured hot water for several people, and he He had a drink and poured himself another.

The person who said he wouldn't eat saw that there were still drunk crabs in Ershun's place, so he stretched out his hand again.

"Ziyu, you can't eat crabs, it's cold." Seeing that Fang Ziye's hand was also stretched out, Qi Wanfeng grabbed his hand.Facing the pitiful eyes looking at him, he couldn't bear it again, and finally took a step back, and discussed, "Can I give you two more chicken feet?"

Fang Ziye's eyes lit up, and the pity inside was gone, waiting for the evening wind to feed him.

His appetite is very good now, and he is particularly addicted to spicy food. In the past, his taste was mild. Since he ate a hot and sour fish that day, he has been out of control.He wants to eat anything spicy. Today’s chicken feet are very suitable for him. After eating one, he wants to eat up the whole jar.

"Okay, the last two pieces." A chicken foot was cut into several pieces, and there was no half chicken foot in the two pieces. Qi Wanfeng took two pieces out of the plate, sealed the mouth, and put the small The jar hid in the back.

Fang Ziye stared at the jar, and then ate the last two pieces of chicken feet.

"Hehehe... Dad is so bad."

"Aren't you saying Dad is bad?... um, is he bad or not?"

"Hehehe... No... Hehehe, it's not bad, it's not bad."

Cao Xiangnan grabbed An An and hugged her in his arms to tickle him. Ever since he knew that An An was disturbed by the birth of his younger brother, he and Wan Feng would spend as much time as possible with An An and the other two little ones.

The two children Xiangzai and Xingxing did not express any rejection of Xiao Lele's arrival. These two children have always been very well-behaved, so it is easy for people to ignore them.

As for the youngest one, he sleeps when he is full, eats when he is full, and lives a carefree life.

Qi Wanfeng glanced at the past, seeing that Husband was teasing the children again, he was going to laugh out loud.

Seeing that look, Cao Xiangnan no longer scratched An An's itch, held the child in his arms to comfort him, and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?" Seeing that they finally stopped the jar of chicken feet Yes, he asked.

"It will be all right."

"Just the one you made last time, the one with meat and vegetables wrapped in leather pancakes?" Qi Wanfeng said after thinking about it.

"Oh, good." Cao Xiangnan remembered what Wan Feng said about the rolls. He made leather pancakes, fried some crispy meat pieces, and a few side dishes. He rolled them himself according to his own taste, and then Sweep the sauce inside, "This is also good, you can roll whatever you want." He nodded and said.

It's a pity that I can't buy shrimp this day, otherwise the fried shrimp will taste even better when rolled up. I can consider this question after the spring of next year. "Can you eat this rolled pancake?" Qi Wanfeng looked at Aning and Fang Ziye, and asked the rest.

"Yes." Fang Ziye said.

Others have even less of an opinion.

"An'an is playing here, daddy is going to make some delicious food for you. Sit here and have a cup of tea, you will be fine in a while." Cao Xiangnan let go of the child in his arms and let him play here, and he went to prepare lunch.

An An followed his father like a little bear, holding his father's clothes with his small hands, and said, "Let's go together, An An."

An'an is coming, and the three younger ones are also coming together. There are too many brats in the family, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing in this respect.He had several painful experiences of making pasta with his children and ended up getting flour all over the floor. Cao Xiangnan resolutely refused in his heart and gave Wan Feng a wink to take the child away.

Qi Wanfeng smiled and followed Fu Lang, coaxing the little ones away.

It is very fast to make dough pancakes. After making dough pancakes, bake them in a pan, and then fry them with pork slices dipped in flour. After frying, there are still chicken pieces.The man A Wu silently followed behind him to help. The knife skills cut very quickly, sliced ​​and diced, and the size can be cut to the same size. Cao Xiangnan had to admire these knife skills.

Cucumber shreds, still A Wulai, the knife fell on the cutting board without even making a sound.

"How did you master your knife skills?" Even Cao Xiangnan was curious.

Ah Wu froze, looking at the person who asked him.

"Okay, if I didn't ask, you continue." After finishing this, Cao Xiangnan didn't ask any more.

"No practice." Ah Wu replied.

"..." You had better not answer, your heart was stabbed.

The leather pancakes are baked, the meat pieces are fried, and a few side dishes are ready. The sauce is still ready-made. These sauces are always prepared at home. Usually, everyone likes to eat some sauce.The porridge in the pot was also hot, so Cao Xiangnan went to call everyone to eat.

Both adults and children came together, and the younger ones sat on the chairs, looked at the food on the table, and waited for the adults to feed them.

"Wan Feng, you can prepare some porridge for the children first." Cao Xiangnan was rolling pancakes according to the taste of several small ones, and said, "You can do it yourself, I will roll it for the children first It’s over, or I’ll roll it for you later.” “We’ll do it ourselves.” Ah Ning came after washing his hands, and he helped move his hands.

Fang Ziye now enjoys every meal without spicy food, and even eats burritos with hot sauce in the middle.

We have lived together for a period of time, and we have always been happy at the dinner table.

After the little ones had finished their porridge, they each ate a pancake. Cao Xiangnan rolled up one when he saw who didn't have any. He put the last one into his mouth and sat down.

There were a lot of leather pancakes, and Cao Xiangnan took two or three of them per person to ensure that everyone could have a full stomach.

After the laughter and laughter, the house gradually quieted down. At this time, everyone went back to the house to take a nap. At this time of the day, the family returned to the quiet time.

When everyone was taking a nap, the door of a room was gently knocked from the inside, and the person who came out opened it and then closed it gently, so as not to wake up the people sleeping in the room.

The person who came out of the house went out of the living room, and his eyes searched for the put away jar, which contained his favorite chicken feet, with a triumphant smile on his face, Fang Ziye walked over to take the jar, sat on the bench down.

The little white fox sleeping in the den rolled its eyelids, stretched itself, jumped out of its den, and onto the table.

"Well, it smells so good." Fang Ziye lifted the lid of the jar, and it smelled like this. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. He just thought about the chicken feet in this jar, so he got up and looked for the chicken feet. I found it.

I used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of chicken feet into it, and took a piece of it in my mouth.Fang Ziye saw the little white fox jumping on the table, was watching him eat it, and spit out the bone in his mouth, he asked, "You want to eat too?" As he said that, he handed a piece to the little white fox.

The little white fox sniffed the smell. It smelled a little pungent at first, but after one bite, it became so spicy that its eyes turned red, and it stuck out its tongue. When it saw the person squinting and eating the ground, it continued to eat. stand up.

So when everyone was sleeping, one person and one fox ate chicken feet with pickled peppers.

A Wu, who heard the sound in the room and followed him, walked to the corner and glanced at the master who was eating chicken feet, paused, then turned back to the room in silence, but couldn't fall asleep after lying down.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw that one person and one fox were eating chicken feet, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
