    After Hao Nai and Gongsun Wan'er left, Yan Xiaokai stood on the arch bridge in a daze for a while, then took out his cell phone and called Xia Bing's private number.

    Although Hao Nai and Li Xuetao have told him a lot, he still can't make a decision, because this matter is really big or small.

    As an agent, he cannot act emotionally, but he is swayed by emotions, so he needs to listen to more opinions!

    Xia Bing was surprised when she received a call from Yan Xiaokai, and immediately asked: "Strange, aren't you happy and carefree with your little goblins at this time? Why would you bother to call me?"

    Yan Xiaokai asked: "Sister, are you feeling well?"

    Xia Bing said: "Very good!"

    Yan Xiaokai asked: "Where is the child in the belly?"

    Xia Bing said: "It's pretty good!"

    Seeing that she answered so simply, Yan Xiaokai didn't know what to say!

    Xia Bing said: "You called just to say hello?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "Yeah!"

    Xia Bing said: "That's it, you asked and I answered. That's it."

    Yan Xiaokai said: "Huh?"

    Xia Bing wanted to hang up, but she still held back and said: "The doctor said that when pregnant women answer cell phones, there is radiation, which is not good for the baby!"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "Sister, don't hang up yet, I have something else I would like to ask your advice on!"

    Xia Bing said: "Business or private matters?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "Half public and half private!"

    Xia Bing seemed to be in a good mood, so she said generously: "Say it!"

    Yan Xiaokai then told Xia Bing the matter.

    Xia Bing was silent for a long time after hearing this, and asked: "If this decision is really in your hands, what will you do?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "It depends on what Li Song thinks? If he just wants to go back and enjoy his old age, as a son-in-law, I will not stop him."

    Xia Bing said: "What if he wants to go back and regain the throne and overturn history?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "I'm afraid this will be difficult. It is difficult for a hemiplegic old man to make waves in the river of history! Moreover, judging from various signs, he no longer has such ambitions!"

    Xia Bingbing snorted: "What if he is pretending? What if he has learned how to make guns, ammunition, or even nuclear weapons? What do you think will happen after he brings these things back to the Tang Dynasty?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "This"

    Xia Bing said: "Do you want to listen to my suggestions or orders?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "Suggestion!"

    Xia Bing said: "My suggestion is to use more brains and keep your wretched father-in-law Li Song. Since he wants to spend his old age in peace, why can't he live in peace somewhere? Why do he have to go back to the Tang Dynasty?"

    Yan Xiaokai asked: "Where is the order?"

    Xia Bing said: "The order is, no matter what, keep Li Song here and never let him go back!"

    Yan Xiaokai sweated wildly and said, "Is there any difference?"

    Xia Bing said: "Of course, the former is using your brain. The latter is using your fists."

    Yan Xiaokai smiled bitterly, and finally could only say: "I know!"

    Xia Bing said: "Is there anything else?"

    Yan Xiaokai said: "No, sister, I wish you a happy New Year."

    Xia Bing said: "Well, you should also pay more attention to your own life. I don't want my son to be without a father as soon as he is born!"

    Yan Xiaokai sweated again, "I know, don't worry!"¡ª¡ª

    On New Year's Eve, the sky was just getting bright, and the sound of firecrackers was already ringing.

    Every household in Hekeng Village has been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and has prepared various new year goods for the New Year.

    According to the custom in Yan Xiaokai's hometown, starting from the New Year's Eve, no one is allowed to go out to buy vegetables or meat. After the New Year's Eve dinner, leftovers are not allowed to be thrown away. Whether they are eaten or not, they are not allowed to go out.  It has to be fifteen before it can be thrown out.  Therefore, during the Chinese New Year in rural areas, the most important thing at home is food.

    Yan Xiaokai suddenly brought so many "spare daughters-in-law" home to celebrate the New Year, which somewhat disrupted the plans and rhythm of Yan's father and mother's New Year celebrations. He temporarily bought two large double-door refrigerators and went on a shopping spree, including food.  I had to drink so much that I could barely feel at ease.

    They are not afraid of anything, they are just afraid that when the girls come, they will not have enough to eat at home!

    ¡°In addition, the Yan family, who in previous years could not even finish a twenty or thirty kilogram pig thigh, also killed a whole pig this year.

    Yes, in rural areas of Haiyuan, pork is the highlight of the Chinese New Year.

    Such a highlightYan's father, who rarely goes into the kitchen, usually manages it by himself, and this year is no exception. However, because this year it is a whole pig, Yan Xiaokai and the women need to help.

    At around seven o¡¯clock in the morning, Yan Xiaokai was woken up by his mother to post couplets. He had to post them everywhere in his house, in new and old houses, in breeding companies and crab farms.

    It was not until nine o'clock that Yan Xiaokai and a few women finally posted all the couplets.

    By this time, the neighbor who had been invited had already disemboweled a farm pig weighing more than 190 kilograms, broken its belly, and removed its internal organs.

    Mother Yan led three or four women and put the pig tripe, pig lungs, pig hearts, pig kidneys, pig intestines, etc. into several baskets, and then took them to the creek behind the house to clean them.

    Yan's father stuffed a few packs of cigarettes into the neighbors who came to help, gave them another three hundred yuan, and after sending them away, he used the bone-cutting knife to cut the pork into eight large pieces, and then asked Yan Xiaokai and the women to cut the pork into eight pieces.  Scrape the fine hair remaining on the pig and wash it thoroughly.

    After finishing it, Father Yan began to divide the pork into half a catty and half a catty of skin-on cubes, some were fat, some were lean, and some were even with bones!  After all the pork was cut into cubes, two large baskets were put in it!

    The water in the big pot in the courtyard has been boiled, so the pork is poured into the water in batches.

    After the pork is soaked in water, it is already familiar to some extent, so we start to put it into the red-hot pot and stir-fry it with a large spatula!

    The pot was too big and there was too much pork. Although he had fried it five or six times, Yan¡¯s father was old after all. After only a few flips, he was already sweating profusely and panting!

    Seeing this, Ji Mingzefang, who was on the side, handed a towel to Yan's father, "Uncle, you are tired, let me do it!"

    Father Yan took the towel and wiped the sweat, shook his head, this girl has slender arms, slender waist and long legs, as if she could be knocked down by a gust of wind, how can she have any strength?  So he said: "No, my daughter, you can't do this job!"

    Yan Xiaokai smiled and said: "Dad, don't underestimate me, she is very powerful!"

    Yan¡¯s father had no choice but to hand the oversized spatula to her.

    Ji Mingzefang took the spatula, took a slight breath, and then gave a sweet drink. He held the pot with one hand and inserted it into the bottom of the pot. Then, as if practicing iron sand palm, he stir-fried large pieces of pork.  .  Slowly at first, then faster and faster, and finally the whole pot of pork was rolling.

    Father Yan originally thought that such a delicate woman could not move over at all, but he did not expect that she would actually be able to do it more easily than a big boss like himself. He couldn't help but stare into two eyes.

    When the pork is fried until golden brown on all sides, Yan¡¯s father begins to add condiments, cooking wine, mushrooms, squid, dry rice, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and salt.  As for chicken essence and MSG, they are never found in farm dishes.

    After putting down the condiments and stir-frying for a while, the strong smell of meat spread out in the yard, making the women who had not eaten much for breakfast move their index fingers.

    A large pot of meat is fried, and it is put into a large wooden basin that has been cleaned and prepared, but this is only half done, and it needs to be steamed next!

    If such a large piece of meat is not steamed thoroughly, the juice will not soak into the meat and it will not be chewable at all. Therefore, it is necessary to put it in a large steamer, steam it over high heat first, and then simmer it slowly over low heat.

    After frying one pot, another pot started again. This time Lun Yunu showed up first and grabbed the spatula, followed by Li Xuetao, Wan Yanyu, and then Hao Nai!

    Everyone who knew Kung Fu went up to fry the meat. Those who didn't know Kung Fu could only watch them. The most exaggerated one was Yan Xiaokai. He didn't even use a spatula. He just wrapped the rim of the pot with a few pieces of cloth and grabbed it with both hands.  During the pot-throwing performance, the women were stunned for a while.

    When the large pot of meat was finally steamed and taken out of the drawer, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Yan's mother had already led the other women to prepare Hakka stuffed tofu, stuffed mushrooms, boiled shrimps, white chopped chicken, and duck with tangerine peel.  Braised goose, steamed fish, steamed crab, stir-fried pig intestines with ginger and scallion, stir-fried squid with celery and garlic sprouts, stewed pork offal with red dates and fungus, stir-fried lettuce with minced garlic, and finally there is pork belly wrapped in chicken and bird's nest soup, and the one in the middle, naturally  It's that domineering and super large piece of braised pork.

    The dishes are served one after another, but we can¡¯t start eating at this time. Everyone must take a shower before we can start.

    At this time, Yan¡¯s mother had already boiled several large pots of grapefruit leaf water. This is a must-have bath water for every household to welcome the New Year. It is called to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and cleanse away the bad luck of the past year.

    After everyone took a bath with yellow-green grapefruit water, long firecrackers were already hanging from the roof of the third floor.

    Yan Xiaokai took a stick of incense and lit the firecrackers, then went into the house with his head in his arms, and then laughed happily to the roaring sound of firecrackers.?A toast to start the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.

    There is no doubt that the women were all full from this meal, and almost all of them left the table holding their stomachs.

    In order to relieve the women¡¯s stomach and digestion, Yan Xiaokai, who likes to drink green tea, specially brewed black tea and let each of the women drink two or three cups.

    ¡°While they were cracking melon seeds, watching TV, flirting, and scolding, Yan¡¯s father and mother came in, each holding a large stack of red envelopes in their hands, one for each of them!

    This is also a rule. Elders should give red envelopes to young unmarried men and women and children. However, there is no such thing as New Year's money like the northerners do. However, those who are married usually do not receive red envelopes, and those who are not married generally do not receive any.  Red envelopes, but those given to parents can be an exception.

    After Yan Xiaokai received the red envelopes from his parents, he actually took out two red envelopes and handed them to his parents respectively.

    Yan's father and mother were very surprised, because this was the first time they received a red envelope from their son. After going out, they quietly opened the red envelope and found that there was no cash in it, but there was a check with a long string of words written on it.  Zero, the two elders couldn't count it. It wasn't until they put on reading glasses that they finally figured it out!

    Good guy, three hundred million, three hundred million per person!  !  !

    The two elders were really shocked, perhaps for this reason. When night fell, Yan's mother dragged Yan Xiaokai, who was preparing to set off fireworks with the women outside, into the house, and whispered: "Kaizi,  Everyone at the Crab Village has gone home for the holidays, and there are a lot of valuable things there, so Xiaoxin and I went to sleep over there, while your dad went to the breeding company!"

    Yan Xiaokai was not stupid enough to ask, where should I go to sleep? Instead, he said with a smile: "Thank you, Mom!"

    Yan's mother pretended to be annoyed and said, "Thank you. I'm not condoning you or anything. I was thinking that Xiaoxin and I went to Crab Village. It's not appropriate for your father to live in the same house with so many of your female friends. Let you  Dad will go live with you at the breeding company, and I¡¯m not worried about leaving these women at home, so I let you stay at home.¡±

    Yan Xiaokai hurriedly said: "Oh, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely protect them!"

    Yan¡¯s mother then snorted softly, calling Yan Xiaoxin and Yan¡¯s father to leave the mansion
