Chapter 215
When Meng Haisheng came back from the Public Security Bureau, the sun had just risen and was not high in the sky for long.
He tiptoed to open the gate and saw Lin Mucheng and several children sleeping through the glass window.
He did not go forward to disturb them, but quietly walked into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Meng Haisheng's cooking skills are quite good. He cooked porridge in the firewood pot and boiled a few sweet potatoes on the pot.
Then, he made a few cakes with flour and fried them on the gas stove.
While Meng Haisheng was busy in the kitchen, Lin Mucheng heard the noise and gradually woke up.
She thought of the scene last night and her face was slightly hot.
What was going on with the expectation and shyness in her heart?
Lin Mucheng was a little embarrassed to cover her face with the quilt. Why did she suddenly think of Meng Haisheng?
"Wife, what are you doing?" Meng Haisheng saw Lin Mucheng curled up in the quilt, "You will have a headache if you sleep with your head covered."
He gently lifted the quilt and saw Lin Mucheng's blushing face, and couldn't help kissing her, "I've made breakfast, get up and wash up and eat."
"How can I move when you're pressing on me?" Lin Mucheng gently pushed Meng Haisheng, but Meng Haisheng just smiled and didn't move.
"I bought a small raincoat today." Meng Haisheng said, picking up four boxes from the table, "I originally wanted to buy it, but the Family Planning Office held an event and gave me so many directly."
Lin Mucheng looked at the box in her hand, her eyes slightly dilated, so many, when will she use them?
"Hide it quickly, don't let the children see it." She whispered.
"It's okay, Momo is still young, she doesn't understand anything." Meng Haisheng said, putting the box in the drawer.
When Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng were talking, Momo was still sleeping sweetly.
Meng Haisheng gently touched Momo's head, "Momo, get up."
Lin Mucheng went to wake up the other children and began to feed them milk powder.
After the children were full, Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng started to eat their breakfast.
"Mucheng, it's almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, how about buying some fireworks?" Meng Haisheng suggested.
"Just buy some for Momo, but that thing has a strong smell of smoke, don't let her play in the house." Lin Mucheng warned.
"I'm talking about the big fireworks, not the ones that Momo plays with." Meng Haisheng explained.
"That seems to be quite expensive." Lin Mucheng frowned.
"We have also made some money in the past six months, so let's take it as a way to relax ourselves." Meng Haisheng said.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Meng Haisheng took the villagers to the market on a tractor.
As soon as he parked the car, Meng Jianguo came over.
"Haisheng, I went to the town public security bureau this morning. The Lang Wuyi incident has become a big deal."
"Several other villages also heard that Lang Wuyi's gang was arrested, and many people went to the public security bureau to report the case. They said that Lang Wuyi and his gang stole a lot of chickens before the New Year. I heard from those public security comrades that Lang Wuyi will be sentenced to at least three years, and if the circumstances are serious, he may be sentenced to five years."
"That was also Lang Wuyi's own fault. They have committed crimes in various villages in our town."
Meng Haisheng didn't say anything more. He knew that Lang Wuyi would not come back this time.
He happily went to the market to buy a lot of fireworks, especially the small fireworks for Momo, so he bought a big bag.
Momo had never played with these before, and Meng Haisheng wanted her to have a good time this time and make up for what she had missed before.
"Haisheng, why did you buy so many fireworks but only one string of firecrackers? The sound of firecrackers is so lively, but fireworks are gone in a few shots."
Seeing that Meng Haisheng bought a large basket of fireworks, some villagers gathered around curiously.
A pound of meat costs only 90 cents, but a slightly larger firework costs one dollar, and even a small one costs 50 or 60 cents.
For the villagers, this is still quite expensive.
They prefer to buy the kind of firecrackers that cost 20 or 30 cents a string, which are deafening and very lively.
"My wife likes to watch it."
Meng Haisheng told everyone frankly that he just likes to pamper his wife. As long as his wife likes it, buying some fireworks is nothing.
Besides, there are three babies who are just two months old in their family. They are all afraid of the sound of firecrackers, so he only dares to set off one string.
If he was not afraid of what Meng Guangzhu in the village would say, he would not plan to set off firecrackers on the fifteenth day, for fear of scaring the children.
The villagers all said: "It seems that you really know how to love your wife."
Meng Haisheng smiled and responded: "Of course, your own wife must be loved well."
After that, he drove the tractor home in a hurry.
During this period, he bought some new raincoats, but the three little guys disturbed him every night. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the two nannies who went home for the New Year will come back.
He and Lin Mucheng planned to move to the west room, where there was a coal stove.It will be cold.
He didn't want to stay alone anymore.
"Dad, when can we eat the glutinous rice balls? I'm hungry."
Momo stretched her neck to look at the stove.
The water in the pot had not yet boiled, and the glutinous rice balls placed next to it were white and plump.
The skin of one glutinous rice ball cracked, revealing the sweet peanut filling.
Momo greedily picked up a piece of red winter melon shreds that had already been exposed and tasted it carefully.
"Little greedy cat, this is raw and can't be eaten."
"You can eat it, the glutinous rice ball skin is sweet."
Momo broke off a little glutinous rice ball skin made of white glutinous rice flour and tasted it. It tasted a little sweet, and her eyebrows curved with a smile.
"If you eat it again, there will be no more to cook, glutinous rice flour is raw."
Meng Haisheng wanted to laugh. Momo, the little greedy cat, actually ate raw glutinous rice balls. What's so delicious about it?
The water in the pot finally boiled, and Meng Haisheng put all the glutinous rice balls into the pot. The local glutinous rice balls are relatively large and need to be cooked for fifteen minutes. Momo watched from the side, drooling with greed.
"It's time to eat."
Meng Haisheng put the sweet glutinous rice balls into a bowl and brought them into the house. Momo followed closely behind him like his little tail.
"Momo, wait, the glutinous rice balls are still hot, be careful not to burn your mouth."
Momo waited for so long and finally saw the glutinous rice balls on the table, but was told not to eat them right away.
"Dad, I want to eat the glutinous rice balls now."
Momo pouted, looking unhappy. She had only heard other children talk about the taste of eating glutinous rice balls before. This year, their family finally bought some, and she wanted to try them right away.
Seeing Momo's pitiful look, Meng Haisheng comforted her: "Wait five more minutes, I'll help you cool down outside."
"Haisheng, don't always pamper Momo, how can she not wait even a few minutes."
"It's okay, our little princess is hungry."
Meng Haisheng took Momo's bowl of glutinous rice balls to the yard and gently stirred it with a spoon to help it dissipate heat.
Seeing the white mist gradually dissipating in the bowl, he looked up and found that Momo was eagerly leaning on the window looking at him.
He couldn't help laughing in his heart. Momo was really too cute. She was so anxious because of a glutinous rice ball.
