C7 Little Nian

Tang Xuemei tidied up the things Lin Kaishan took out and gave half of the fat and sugar to Lin Kaishan.

"Take these things to your parents and treat it as a New Year's gift. We'll get more for them next year."

Lin Kaishan happily took the things from Tang Xuemei and left the house. After all, he was happy to give his parents something.

Tang Xuemei placed the remaining red sugar in the kitchen cabinet and carefully poured one or two salt into the empty salt jar. Then, she started to deal with the cut fat.

Tang Xuemei looked at Lin Miaoting who was still roasting by the stove and said with a smile, "Keer, today we will make dumplings with the oil dregs that you love the most."

Tang Xuemei skillfully cut the fat into pieces and placed them in the bowl. She walked to the stove and told Lin Miaoting to stay away from the stove. She did not want the oil to splash on Lin Miaoting's body.

Crack ~

The smell of meat drifted in the room. The fat in the pot shrunk bit by bit, and a faint yellow oily substance appeared around it. Tang Xuemei put the oil in the pot into the prepared jar and froze it to be used for cooking in the future.

Then she took out the oil dregs from the pot, which were the oil spindles that the northeasterners mentioned, and put them in the pot with a spoon. Lin Miaoting stared at the basin full of oil dregs and swallowed her saliva. If she were to sprinkle some salt over a can of beer, it would be so comfortable!

Tang Xuemei noticed Lin Miaoting's reaction and lightly nodded Lin Miaoting's head. She smiled and said, "You little glutton!" Then, she used a small bowl to fill a few pieces of oil and passed them to Lin Miaoting, asking her to go back to the house to eat.

Lin Miaoting carried the bowl into the house and saw Lin Zhize, who was also his brother, leaning against the brick bed and resting with his eyes closed.

"Brother, eat the oil shuttle." Lin Miaoting pushed the bowl to Lin Zhize's side.

"Eat it!" Lin Zhize did not open his eyes. "I will eat dumplings later. Keer, you can eat it yourself."

"Big brother, I won't eat even if you don't." Lin Miaoting pretended to be angry. In modern times, she would not be as good as a little kid after eating all the delicious food.

Lin Zhize opened his eyes, looked at Lin Miaoting, and then looked at the bowl with the oil spindle. In the end, he could not resist the urge to eat. He picked up a piece of oil and put it in his mouth.

"It's been almost a year since I ate the oil. I remember the last time I ate it, I secretly stole it from the upper house. Keer, do you still remember the last time we ate the oil dregs? You even ate until your mouth was full of oil. You were almost discovered by Grandfather!"

Lin Miaoting quietly listened to Lin Zhize recall the past. In her heart, she was ridiculing the original Lin Miaoting. How stupid was she? She almost got discovered stealing food.

Luckily Lin Miaoting did not inherit the original owner's memory, otherwise she would definitely vomit to death. Just how weak was she?

When Lin Kaishan returned, Tang Xuemei's food was almost ready. Lin Miaoting and Lin Zhize helped to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. More than 30 yellow dumplings were placed on the table.

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month was a day of worship for the Ovens. Lin Miaoting saw Tang Xuemei put two or three dumplings on the stove first. She did not know what she was fiddling with in her mouth. Then, she put her palms together and bowed. The ceremony had ended!

A family sat around the bed table and looked at the delicious steamed cabbage dumplings on the table. Their faces revealed a happy smile. Although there were not many dumplings, the family ate very happily.

Everyone ate the dumplings cleanly. Although they were not pure white dumplings, the family was very satisfied. How could they have eaten so many dumplings in the past?

After the meal, Tang Xuemei took out the stove candy that Lin Kai bought at the market and broke it with her hands to share with everyone. Lin Kaishan, Lin Zhize, and Tang Xuemei only picked a very small piece and said that the candy was too sweet. They just needed to eat some to match the scenery. It could be considered a small year. The rest were wrapped up for Lin Miaoting so that she could eat it at any time.

Lin Miaoting recalled that when she was young, her grandfather would always buy a few pieces of Kitchen Candy for her to eat when she was 23. He said that it would stick to the age. On the other hand, she complained that the Kitchen Candy was not as delicious as Deva's chocolate. She did not pretend to eat it for two or three bites before throwing it to the side.

Tang Xuemei looked at Lin Miaoting who was staring at the Kitchen Candy but did not reach out to take it. She smiled slightly and gently broke off a piece. She raised her hand and fed the Kitchen Candy to Lin Miaoting's mouth.

The sweet taste in her mouth and the slightly noodles taste made Lin Miaoting's eyes slightly moist. What was going on? The current her actually wanted to cry because of this small candy?

Lin Miaoting let out a big smile at Tang Xuemei.

"Mother, it's really sweet." There was a slight nasal sound in her words. "Mother, can I eat it faster?"

Lin Miaoting used her index finger and thumb to indicate the size of a dot and made the room laugh. Tang Xuemei used her index finger to gently touch Lin Miaoting's nose.

"Little glutton, these are all yours!"
