Breakfast was ready, and Yaya hadn't woken up yet, so she and Shen Gongqi ate first.
After breakfast, I lit a fire in the house, opened the courtyard door, and waited for the children in the village to come to pay New Year greetings.
This year's children came earlier, and they were all the children who got candies here last year.
After Yaya woke up, Fang Nuo pricked her hair with the two hairdressers Shen Gongqi bought.
Fang Nuo gave her two hairpins, then turned them into two ball hair, and then put on the headband.
She was given a set of red cotton-padded jackets, made by Fang Nuo himself.
Dressed up, Yaya looks like a New Year painting doll, and she looks so cute.
At this time, the children who came to pay New Year greetings had not yet left home. When Fang Nuo came out with Yaya, a little boy said: "My sister is so beautiful, I want a sister like this."
"Me too, me too, I also want a sister like this" the other children also said
There are more boys coming to pay New Year greetings. In this era in rural areas, girls have to do housework at home. Generally, the ones who can come out so early are boys.
Only a few girls who are loved by their families will come out together.
A little boy boldly walked up to Fang Nuo and asked, "Aunt Shen, can I play with sister Yaya?"
"Yaya, do you want to play with your brother?" Fang Nuo knelt down and asked his daughter
"Is that okay?" It was the first time that Yaya had another child want to play with her, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to ask her mother.
"Of course you can. As long as Yaya is willing, you can play in the house with other brothers and sisters for a while. When you grow up a little later, you can go out and play with them." Fang Nuo encouraged the first pick-up. children making friends
"Mom, I want to go play with my brother and the others for a while," Yaya said
"Okay, you and your brothers and sisters will play in the house, you know?" Fang Nuo said
Then he said to the little boy just now: "Yaya is still too young now, so you can take her to play in the house, okay?"
"Okay, Aunt Shen, I understand. Don't worry. My mother said that I am already a five-year-old man and will protect my sister," the little boy said.
"Okay, Yaya, go ahead and play with your brothers. Mom will go to the kitchen to prepare some food for you," Fang Nuo said to Yaya.
When the little boy saw Fang Nuo walking away, he walked up to Yaya and said, "Hello, sister Yaya, I am Goudan. I am five years old this year. You can call me brother Goudan."
"Brother Goudan" Yaya shouted obediently
When Xiaowudan heard his sister calling him, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and then he pulled Yaya and went to his friend.
The children first began to introduce themselves, and Fang Nuo eavesdropped. The names of these children in the village were... very good.
There are those named Ergou, Xiaowei, Da Niu, Er Niu and Xiao Hua.
She saw that Yaya quickly integrated into their circle, and the other brothers and sisters who were older than her also took good care of her, so she turned around and said to Shen Gongqi: "Brother Qi, just watch from here. , don’t let the children have conflicts, you can give them some water from time to time, you know?”
"Well, I understand, go and do your work," Shen Gongqi said.
As for taking care of children, he has completely mastered it in the past six months.
Fang Nuo went to the kitchen to make some white fungus soup for the children, with some watermelon chunks in it.
I happened to have a dozen watermelons left at home this year and stored them in the cellar.
She also made some transparent pearls with sweet potato flour and cooked them in them.
She is quite generous to good children.
She picked the white fungus back from the mountains. Before eating it, she turned it into dried white fungus.
Now it needs to be soaked in warm water first. Fang Nuo soaked the white fungus and then went to the cellar to get a watermelon.
Just one drink couldn't fill her stomach at all, so she prepared to fry potato chips and dip them in ketchup for the children.
She picked up three kilograms of potatoes, peeled them and cut them into strips. She washed away the starch on the surface in water. She did not pour out the water. After it settled for a while, she poured out the excess water and poured out the starch water collected previously. There is a piece of sediment inside.
After waiting for a while, change the water repeatedly, rinse and precipitate several times to flush out the dirt inside, then put the potato starch underneath into gauze, hang it overnight to drain the water, then break it open to dry all the water, and you have potatoes. Starch.
Potato starch can be made into stuffed dumplings, as well as crystal dumplings.
She first took out the yellowed part of the roots of the soaked white fungus, then chopped it into pieces and stewed it in a pot of water to get the glue.
The small pearls rubbed with sweet potato starch are first cooked in another pot, and then rinsed in cold water.
The watermelon is also cut into small pieces for later use. After the baby over there is cooked, add another piece and eat it.
When the white fungus is almost cooked, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, add the pearls after it is cooked, cook for another fifteen minutes, then scoop it into a basin with watermelon.
The watermelon and white fungus soup here is ready. Fang Nuo cleaned the pot, boiled the water, poured a little more oil, and when the oil was hot, poured the drained potato strips into it, fried it for a while and then turned it over a few times.
When all the potatoes are fried, fry for a few more minutes until the potato strips are a little brown, then drain the oil and put them in a pot.
She first carried the white fungus soup into the house. When the children saw that there was food, they didn't fight for it.
Several children followed Fang Nuo out to the kitchen and helped with the dishes and chopsticks.
After Fang Nuo put the potatoes and ketchup on the table, he asked the children to take off their shoes and sit on the kang.
She first scooped some white fungus soup for each of the children and let them drink some hot food first. Then she took a pick for each of them and dipped the potato strips into the ketchup.
The children were so happy to eat fresh food.
I have a better impression of this aunt of the Shen family, and there are several people taking care of Yaya while eating.
Yaya also ate with her brothers and sisters. Fang Nuo scooped up the tremella soup for them, gave them the sticks, told them to eat carefully, then scooped up two bowls of tremella soup and brought it to the brazier.
He handed a bowl to Shen Gongqi and said, "Brother Qi, try it too. Is it delicious?"
Shen Gongqi took it and said, "It tastes good" even before he drank it.
"You haven't even drank this yet, how do you know it tastes good?" Fang Nuo asked.
"I can tell it tastes good just by looking at it, otherwise those brats wouldn't laugh so happily," Shen Gongqi said.
Fang Nuo could tell from his words that he was a bit disgusted.
"What's wrong? These kids have offended you?" Fang Nuo asked in a low voice.
"No, I just think they want to kidnap my daughter," Shen Gongqi said.
"You're still a kid, so they want to kidnap your daughter," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
I didn't expect that he was so fond of this. Maybe it was because his daughter was at home most of the time, and he took care of her most of the time, and she was relatively close to him.
Now that he has new friends, he is a little neglected as his old father, so he feels a little awkward.
