Chapter 74: Chinese New Year (1)
Chapter 74 Chinese New Year (1)
Out of the space, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that there were no bloodstains on the battlefield yesterday, and a heavy snow covered them all, leaving only a piece of purity, as if everything before had never happened.
After a whole morning, Lu Xiaoxiao finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. She looked around and found no one, so she quickly returned to the courtyard.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door of the main room and saw that everything in the room was still the same as before she left, but there was a thin layer of dust.
After she rolled up her sleeves and set the two kangs on fire, she found a rag and started to clean. After more than an hour of struggle, she finally cleaned up the house. It may be because she practiced mental methods. She cleaned After so long of hygiene, I don't feel a little tired now.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at the dirty clothes on her body due to cleaning. She has a slight obsession with cleanliness, so she immediately went to the space to take a bath. After taking a bath, she ate a few buns and carried a catty of egg cakes. Half a catty of fruit candy and Wuliangye bought in Beijing walked towards the captain's house.
When she arrived at the captain’s house, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the captain’s family having lunch, so she put the things on the kang table and told the captain that she was back. These things were an annual gift for them.
This time neither the captain nor Aunt Caihua refused her gift, but accepted it readily. She chatted with the captain and the others for a while and knew that Liu Xiaofeng would be home tomorrow.
When Lu Xiaoxiao was planning to tell the captain that she had to go back home, Aunt Caihua patted her thigh and told her to wait, and then hurried out of the house.
After a while, Aunt Cauliflower came in with two frozen ribs, saying that when the pigs were slaughtered, the family could share eight taels of meat, and the educated youths would share half a catty. Because she said she likes to drink rib soup last time, so this time I asked for it for her. The two spare ribs didn't ask for meat, I hope she doesn't blame her for making her own decisions.
Aunt Cauliflower is kind enough to think about her. If she still blames Aunt Cauliflower, she really has no conscience, not to mention that she really likes ribs.
Lu Xiaoxiao thanked Aunt Cauliflower for helping her ask for ribs, then she said goodbye to the captain's family and walked home with the ribs.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao thought that the Chinese New Year would be the day after tomorrow. She hadn't prepared anything because she went up the mountain. Although supplies are scarce in this era, everyone will find a way to make the family eat well on the day of the Chinese New Year.
It seems that she will be busy tomorrow, preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner the day after tomorrow.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while that she had nothing to do this afternoon, so she planned to make the dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner first, and there was an afternoon today, so she could make more dumplings and eat them later.
After an afternoon of hard work, Lu Xiaoxiao made 300 dumplings filled with pork and cabbage, 300 dumplings filled with pork and shallots, 200 dumplings filled with beef and scallions, and 200 dumplings filled with mutton and leeks. Fortunately, there are machines for kneading noodles and pressing dumplings skin, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make so many dumplings.
Lu Xiaoxiao kept twenty dumplings of each kind outside the house to freeze, and took three of each kind of dumplings out for dinner, and put all the others in the space.
After dinner, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the space to continue her practice. She planned to practice her mind at night and practice her kung fu in the morning. As for the second volume of the Medicine Sutra and Nine Turns Returning to One Needle, she will learn it when she has time.
The next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao got up and planned to go to the yard to practice exercises. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door of the main room, she saw that the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. It seemed that it snowed heavily last night, and she was practicing mental exercises in the space. So don't know.
Since she couldn't practice in the yard, she could only go back to practice in the living room of the space villa. She followed the movements in the book and didn't feel the inner strength written in the book.
She didn't feel any of the wind in her palms, or the strength in her legs. Instead, she felt as if she was dancing some kind of dance.
