Chapter Eighty-Six: Sorrow
Just after noon, the meal was ready, and the table was full.
It's a shame that my parents brought the meat, otherwise with the inventory at home, it would really not be enough for eleven people to eat. It's really not hearty, there are few hard vegetables, and there are few winter vegetables, so you can only fry some peanuts and cut salted duck eggs to make up the numbers.
The hard dishes that Northeast people talk about are very interesting, but they can only be understood but not spoken. First of all, it has to be meat, and it has to be a big meat, a big pot and a big plate, and put it in the middle of the table, which can suppress the surrounding dishes......
"Come on, sit down, you're welcome!"
The two second elders, who are not old, beckoned everyone to take their seats, their parents were in the main seat, Xu Fei was next to Xu Xiaowen, and next to them was Hou Changrong. Chen Xiaoxu was next to Zhang Guiqin, and there was Zhang Li.
The men's small half circle, the women's large half circle.
Xu Xiaowen stood up with a cup and said: "I am a commentator, and my education is not high, but I understand the truth." There is a saying in the book, so that birds fly far away with Luan and phoenix, and people are virtuous and virtuous.
Although it is the first time we meet today, you can see that you are good boys and all of you have skills. Xiao Fei is a blessing to make friends with you, and I have been taken care of by you for the past two years, so I will toast first. ”
"Drink some, drink some. ”
"Pour up, pour up. ”
There was a loud bang, the man drank liquor, and the woman drank soda. Zhang Guiqin saw that Chen Xiaoxu's body was inconvenient, and Zhang Li was also disappointed to bring a thermos cup, so he poured a bowl of brown sugar ginger shreds.
Everyone did a stubble first, and then sat down to eat.
To be honest, Xu Feite doesn't like to eat with the older generation, especially during the New Year. The older generation likes to make rules for the wine table, which is earthy and vulgar, and they are still smug, which makes the young people very embarrassed.
Just like once in the Mid-Autumn Festival, an uncle in his previous life loved to do this, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare reunion, let's say a word and express our feelings." ”
Say you're sick!
But fortunately, Xu Xiaowen has no such problem, he is open-minded, knows how to accept new things, and chats with juniors.
"What's going on with that Hong Kong press corps? I don't have to go back to my family because of the reception for the Chinese New Year. ”
"It's the newspapers, magazines, and TV stations that come over there to interview, and the standard is quite high, and the Minister of Culture personally accompanies them. Hou Changrong said.
"Mainly for the sake of selling dramas, don't we shoot "Dream of Red Mansions"? If you want to sell it in Hong Kong, of course you have to entertain it. Wu Xiaodong said.
"Oh, I've heard there's a lot of darkness over there, it's messy......"
Xu Xiaowen sulked his lipstick star and said: "I went out to perform, and I occasionally met Hong Kong businessmen, all of whom were better than monkeys. But they are all grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't last for a few days, and our Sino-British treaties have been signed, and we will clean up sooner or later. ”
"Tsk, what are you doing about this for the New Year? Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. ”
Zhang Guiqin kicked him, grabbed two chopsticks in his hand, and gave them to the two girls who were closest to him.
"Uh......"
Zhang Li looked at the fat meat with garlic slices in the bowl, and couldn't help swallowing saliva, garlic, fatty meat, the two things he liked the most.
She struggled for half a second, but still stuffed it into her mouth, and finally looked up, Xu Feizheng looked at herself and smiled, followed by a tilt of her head, the girl was also happy.
She was embarrassed for no reason, and looked at Chen Xiaoxu's bowl again, and there was a soft pumpkin lying in it.
“......”
Sister Bao buried her head in eating.
And Zhang Guiqin glanced at it, patrolling back and forth between the three of them, keenly aware of a trace of unusual taste.
A group of people ate and drank, and it was only over in the afternoon.
Xu Xiaowen wanted to stay overnight, but it was not very convenient, and after several excuses, the big guy left.
The toss is a little tired, according to the habit of making dumplings at night, nothing to do for half a day. Xu Fei ran to the study to sleep, his parents were lying in the main room, and Zhang Guiqin was tossing and turning.
"Which of those girls do you say is the best?"
"Two have masters, and the remaining four are fine. Xu Xiaowen closed his eyes and responded, and he was even planning this matter.
"Xiaohu is pretty, but it feels too small, like a child. Deng Jie is short and old, so it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law. ”
Zhang Guiqin stabbed her husband, "Hey, I think Xiao Fei is a little interesting to Zhang Li, and his eyebrows are flattering." ”
"I didn't see it, I didn't pay attention to Zhang Li, I felt that he was the best with Xiao Xu. Xu Xiaowen opened his eyes and was surprised.
"What can you see, it's all clearly on the dinner table! Alas, but Xiao Xu is really good, clever and sensible, and knows the roots, how can this be ......?"
Thinking about it, my mother was inexplicably worried, and she couldn't sleep.
After the people left, the courtyard became empty in an instant.
Three strangers spent the Spring Festival in the capital, and their tastes were different. That is, in the first year, he worked in the capital, and his parents were not worried about coming to accompany him.
In the future, I can't, like those parents whose children are working hard in other places, they may not see each other for a year.
Baihua Hutong is also very quiet during the New Year, except for children setting off firecrackers outside, I can't hear any noise. In the evening, I still fix the set of procedures, eat dumplings, and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Since this year, the Spring Festival Gala has slowly matured, and many types of programs have become fixed models and continued. The performers also began to be familiar with each other, and they all knew each other, what Jiang Dawei, Yu Junjian, Xiaolin, and *** appeared one by one.
One of the most awesome programs is that the two Laoshan battle heroes held a wedding on the spot, and the main wedding was amazing, and Xu Fei was stunned.
Damn, the scale is too big these days, and I'm scared.
............
Mom and Dad stayed until the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Xu Fei took them to Tiananmen Square and the Temple Fair of Ditan, as well as the nearby Huguo Temple.
Speaking of Huguo Temple, the previous temple fair was also famous, and the Longfu temple fair was equally famous, known as the East and West Temple, "one day can spend millions of dollars." ”
In the 50s, the temple fair was depressed, and most of the buildings were demolished and converted into buildings, with only three King Kong halls and a few west side halls remaining.
Huguo Temple loves to catch fire, once it burns down, it burns a little, and then in 2004 it burns again, and the west side hall is also burned down, and it is a force of decline.
Mom and Dad were very happy to go shopping, and they also bought two red lanterns and came back, with light bulbs inside, and hung them on the outside door. At one o'clock in the evening, the red light was a little weird.
Xu Fei looked at it and grinned, Baihua Hutong, walked inside, there were two red lanterns at the door...... Well, this description is a haunted house.
On the morning of the third day of the new year, the second elder took the train home.
In the afternoon, Feng Pants came to visit again, and brought a painting of his own, saying that it was a gift. Xu Fei knew too much what he was doing, firstly, he was close, and secondly, he asked what he thought of "Plainclothes Police".
Teacher Xu is so easy to be tricked, he sat for a while, and Feng pants were bored with himself, so he left stupidly.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and I started working.
Eh, that's right, this will be a three-day holiday during the Spring Festival. Don't be too little, in the past, there were even three days off, which was called the "Revolutionary Spring Festival", and the slogan was "Thirty days without fighting, and the first day of the new year will continue." ”
Moreover, it is forbidden to burn incense and worship Buddha, dragon and lion dances, kowtow to the New Year, etc., only the Spring Festival couplets are retained.
It was not until 1980 that the Spring Festival holiday resumed. The common people have two long holidays throughout the year, three days for the Spring Festival, three days for the National Day, and a single holiday every week, which lasted until the nineties.
Of course, there are policies and national conditions. It is stipulated that there will be a holiday at the beginning of the new year, but except for special units, basically twenty-nine or thirty children will be fine. In the past, I was more comfortable in the quyi troupe, and I didn't even have to go to class.
Xu Fei is on the twenty-ninth day off, and then he goes to work on the fourth day of junior high school, and he has a meeting when he goes to work.
(And ...... )
