Years: Salted Fish Life Since Going to the Countryside

Chapter 256 The Busy Beginning

When Han Li was busy filtering the wine at home, the Yun sisters were already sitting on the kang at Hao Hongmin's house. The four of them were chatting happily at this time, but they didn't expect Wu Lili and Jinmen Meng Zaihong to come.

"Sister Hongmin, Sister Xiuying, we are here. Let's continue playing cards today. The two comrades Yun are here too."

Wu Lili insisted on going over to give gifts when Han Li got married last time. The Yun sisters couldn't show their faces to her now, so they responded with a smile.

"We just came here not long ago."

As the hosts, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were also very helpless about this somewhat embarrassing situation. When the two sides clashed, they stood with the Yun sisters.

But Wu Lili kept sticking to this side. They couldn't offend each other to death because of other people's affairs. However, if it weren't for the winter, they would have experienced this situation a long time ago. What's more, Meng Zaihong, a new educated youth, came with them today. The two of them could only be polite. As for if Wu Lili continued to fight against Han Li and the others later, the two of them were not fools and naturally knew that they should sit on the buttocks.

"Lili, Zaihong, you two should sit on the kang quickly. It's very cold down there."

"What are you talking about?"

"Hehe, nothing, just some trivial matters in life, and the recent pregnancy of the widow in Xiaohe Village."

"It's that thing. I was also surprised when I heard Sister Xiuying talk about it yesterday. I didn't expect that Xiaohe Village would often make some things happen."

The arrival of the two of them directly lowered the atmosphere in the room, and even the topics of conversation became much more awkward.

Wu Lili didn't seem to notice it at all, and took the initiative to take over the topics of the two sisters several times.

Although Yun Jingjing felt a little helpless, Wu Lili gave Han Li a gift when he got married. It was a bit inappropriate for her to just walk away when she arrived.

After everyone chatted awkwardly for a while, the Yun sisters looked at each other and said that they had things to do at home and left.

Hao Hongmin sent them to the door of the house and was stopped by the two sisters. However, Yun Yingying started to grumble as soon as they walked out of the street.

"What does Wu Lili mean? She knows that we don't like her, but she always continues our conversation."

"Does it matter what Wu Lili means? She doesn't come to provoke us, so we can do whatever we want. Anyway, we know it in our hearts."

"That's right, but I still can't stand her like that."

"The snow seems to be getting heavier. Let's go home quickly."

The two sisters smelled a strong smell of fruit wine as soon as they entered the door when they got home. Yun Yingying sniffed twice.

"Brother Li smells..."

Han Li saw Yun Yingying's look and immediately said in a very proud tone.

"Not bad, this is made from the grapes I carefully selected."

"It smells really good, brother Li, go and take a rest, let the two of us do this."

"Okay, then I'll go see how the mutton is thawed."

The two sisters took over the task of filtering the wine, and Han Li went directly to the health room to deal with the mutton.

He Mi was also doing the thawing of the mutton at home, but she was not very focused today.

Although Qi Zhaodi didn't know what was going on, she pulled He Mi to the kang and made the mutton outside.

.

Wu Lili also knew that tomorrow was the winter solstice at Hao Hongmin's house. She calculated the current family assets and planned to have a good meal tomorrow to reward herself.

Meng Zaihong didn't say anything when she heard the news, because several women in the Youth Academy had talked about this when they were chatting on the kang. At first, everyone planned to make dumplings together for the festival, but they had differences in the final distribution of materials, so they had to give up in the end.

However, it was purely coincidental that Meng Zaihong came to Hao Hongmin's house with Wu Lili today. She came here for other things. That is, she heard that Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were both from the south and liked to eat fish, so she planned to invite them to go winter fishing together.

Meng Zaihong has lived by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal since she was a child. Not only has she won the championship in the swimming event held in Tianjin to commemorate the commander-in-chief's swimming in the Yangtze River for two consecutive years, she is also a good hand at catching fish and shrimp at home, and winter fishing is even easier.

In Meng Zaihong's opinion, even if the two southern girls are not as good at water and fishing as herself, they should not be much worse. This is one of the reasons why she found Hao Hongmin and others.

Another reason is that it is more convenient to handle and eat the fish at Hao Hongmin's house after catching it. After the two sides have established a good relationship, she can also put the pickled and dried fish at their house.

Originally, Meng Zaihong would have been more suitable to find Zhang Shulan and Hou Yuhua who came with her, but after she did not agree to buy the Yun sisters' house together, the two sides became a little unhappy. In addition, the two people basically had no contact after moving out, so she put this idea on Hao Hongmin and others.

As for Wu Lili, Meng Zaihong has not considered it at all. Although she often comes to chat with her, the superiority she shows from time to time makes her very uncomfortable.

Meng Zaihong really regrets it now. Why didn't she agree to buy the Yun sisters' house together with Hou Yuhua?

In that case, she might be nervous for a long time, but at least she avoided the current situation where she can't do anything she wants.

Meng Zaihong had been wearing Wu Lili away, and then she told Hao Hongmin and the others her proposal.

Who knew that Hao Hongmei and Yang Xiuying hesitated after hearing this, and then Hao Hongmin told her what she thought.

"Zaihong, let's not talk about whether we can break through the ice. The key point is that there are often villagers and children playing on the river near Shanghe Village. No one can bear the responsibility for what happens because we break through the ice. "Well, if you want to fish in this season, you have to go far downstream. There is no safety guarantee for us little girls in the wilderness."

Yang Xiuying also interjected at this time: "No matter how popular you are, you don't think that everyone around you is as safe as Hecun, do you? Then think about why things keep happening in Xiaohecun, and is it true that what happened to the widow was of her own free will? You know Sometimes it’s not just wild animals that can harm people.”

Meng Zaihong was obviously frightened by what they said. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but Hao Hongmin's voice changed and she almost said to herself.

"Xiuying, what do you think about calling Han Li when we go fishing in the winter? Will he accompany us?"

"Sister Hongmin, what's there to think about? Han Li will definitely agree. If he doesn't agree, I'll go and persuade Sister Yun. Then he will follow for the safety of his wife."

"Xiuying, I want to eat fish. After I leave, let's find a way to go fishing."

Yun Jingjing made two kinds of hairtail braised and braised tonight, and also stewed some soaked mushrooms with a little pork.

When stewing the mushrooms, I put a circle of small flower rolls mixed with noodles around the iron pot. This is the method of sticking pancakes on top and stewing vegetables after I came here.

She also replaced the brazier with fresh charcoal, and then boiled a pot of rice soup on it. This way the temperature in the room also increased, and everyone had soup for dinner at night.

Han Li ate the hairtail fish that he had always wanted to eat, and the small flower rolls absorbed the soup of the stew and tasted very satisfying. In short, he felt quite comfortable with this meal.

After eating, Han Li dressed up and went out to walk his dog. The two sisters started making dumpling fillings for tomorrow at home.

However, Han Li had already chopped the mutton and pork, and they only needed to add some necessary ingredients such as green onions and minced ginger to mix well.

By the time Han Li came back from walking the dog, the two sisters had already finished it, so they should follow the usual process.

But Yun Yingying was worried about getting up early to make dumplings tomorrow, so that night. This situation caused Yun Jingjing to sleep alone with the quilt under her arms.

On the second day of the winter solstice, Han Li just helped the two sisters put their quilts under their quilts and went out. The two sisters opened their eyes almost at the same time.

Then a busy morning began. The two sisters quickly cleaned up the room and started making noodles.

Of course, Yun Jingjing didn't bother to take pictures when she got up every morning, looking like she was in a hurry.

This made Han Li feel a little nostalgic, but thinking that he no longer had to be secretive after tonight, his spirit immediately became excited, and even the Spring Breeze Transformation Rain Technique he practiced today was extremely smooth.

In addition to the customary mutton filling, today's dumplings also had sauerkraut and pork filling that Han Li specially requested.

Since the two sisters prepared it earlier, Han Li's dumplings were finished early.

But he didn't plan to do anything today. He just chatted with his wife and sister-in-law on the kang.

For example, we talked about some old sayings from the Four-Nine Cities, or folk songs from Xinjiang, and similar situations in various places, etc.

However, their chat today was not so peaceful. First, Aunt Zhang brought over a large dumpling with lids.

He also said that he knew that Han Li had many family members, so he brought some more over.

Aunt Zhang originally put down the dumplings and was about to leave, but when Han Li asked Yun Yingying to hold her while she talked, Yun Jingjing quickly filled a bowl of dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork.

As a result, the three of them didn't say that it was still snowing, and they had a good time in the yard.

Han Li was not suitable to come forward to this kind of tug and pull between women. He just looked on with a smile and gave verbal support.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, the two sisters did not wear gloves or scarves. When they finally sent Aunt Zhang away and returned to the house, the sisters' ears and hands were all red from the cold, and their clothes were also pulled by the force just now. Become crooked.

Han Li quickly made two cups of hot tea for his wife and sister-in-law, but today's situation was not over yet. When the two sisters had just recovered, He Mi's voice came from the yard.

Thanks: Time is never omitted. Reward: 1000 points.

Thanks to: Xiao Se Internal and External Reward: 100 points.
