As soon as the new year passes, and then it is carried forward, and it is close to Chinese New Year's Eve.

The countryside in Layue is very lively, perhaps the more rural the place, the longer the original ecological scenery will be maintained; the older the era, the stronger the flavor of the year, every household is happy to toss, but also like to communicate; tirelessly make some traditional food, not because it is expensive, but because it is time-consuming and laborious.

With Zhang's mother's management, coupled with the rich New Year's goods bought from the city, the old Zhang's family's preparations for this year are full and lively, a few days ago, the family has been busy, killing New Year's pigs, making tofu, fried twist, beating glutinous cakes, steamed vegetables and steamed pork......

Among these farmhouse characteristic food, Zhang Yunqi's favorite is the glutinous cake, the freshly beaten glutinous rice cake is fragrant and soft, and the sweet taste can be chewed without sugar, and the beaten glutinous rice cake is pinched into a ball one by one, soaked in cold water, and can be stored throughout the winter, and when you are hungry at night, you can also bake it soft on the stove, and watch TV while eating with sugar.

Since Lao Zhang's house has a color TV, it has been very lively every night, but the number of stations that can be received is extremely limited, only four, CCTV1 and Mango TV in Xiangnan Province, and local Jiangchuan TV and Fengyang TV.

After dinner that night, the whole family watched TV in the hall, and the 86 version of "Journey to the West" starring Liu Xiaolingtong was played.

Zhang Yunqi really wanted to spoil it, but it was better to think about it. Fortune tellers are blind, and this story tells us a profound truth, spoilers are not good fruit to eat.

"Journey to the West" was tired of watching it in his last life, and he bombed various TV stations in turn during the winter and summer vacations, Zhang Yunqi yawned when he watched it, and among the two sisters who watched it attentively, he seemed particularly unsociable.

He simply ran to the kitchen and fried the balls with his eldest brother, the balls are a special delicacy in Fengyang County, stir with eggs and flour and water, bread a meatball, and then throw it into the oil pan and fry it until golden brown, the model is similar to the peeing cow balls, but the taste is different, the texture is softer, and the taste is fresher.

Blowing up the balls, the two brothers chatted with each other, talking about Zhang Yunqi's sale of handheld computers during his school days in the city.

Zhang Yunfeng was very interested in this.

Because it can make money, it's still a lot of money.

Although his income from driving a tractor and engaging in transportation is not bad now, if he works hard, it is easier to earn three or four hundred a month, but compared with his younger brother Yunqi, it is really a drop in the bucket.

When he went to the department store some time ago to buy goods, he watched his younger brother in order to let his family have a prosperous year, thousands of dollars to spend his eyes without blinking, he was happy for his brother's atmosphere and sensible, but also a little ashamed, but he is still very young, the most important thing is self-motivation, there is such a powerful brother in the family, of course he wants to follow the upward trend.

Zhang Yunqi half-jokingly and half-seriously said to his eldest brother: "If you don't wait for the New Year, you and I will go to the city to do business together, stay in the village, and you will be stuck in some bullshit all day long, and there will be no prospects." ”

Perhaps because he trusted his younger brother's ability more and more, Zhang Yunfeng was very interested and asked, "I'm a farmer, what can I do when I go to the city?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "You can do anything, now the economic momentum is so good, what you do is to make money, if not, let's do some small business first, learn to do, step by step, accumulate experience." ”

Zhang Yunfeng said: "Then do you think I can do it?"

That's a little too cautious.

is not stupid or stupid, there is nothing that can not be done in business, but the eldest brother can ask this, which means that he still has this idea in his heart.

This is always a happy thing, after all, if you want to bring the family to the city, you must first give the eldest brother a career in the city, and going out is good for the eldest brother's vision and knowledge.

Zhang Yunqi said: "There is nothing to say, as long as you are willing to do it, you will do it, half a year ago, when we sold flue-cured tobacco, you would not do this business, and you would not be very skilled in the future." ”

This passage made Zhang Yunfeng feel very reasonable.

Of course, these are just small talk, there is no accurate number, Zhang Yunfeng does not have time to think more, now that it is getting closer and closer to Chinese New Year's Eve, he has a lot of things to do, and what is more terrible is that Zhang's mother arranged a series of blind dates for him.

Seeing that a year was about to pass, Zhang Yunfeng's age was another year longer, from 23 to 24. Zhang's mother is anxious every time she thinks about it, and now she feels more and more sorry for her son. At this age, other people's sons already have dolls, but Yunfeng is still single, twenty-four years old, which is not too old for the public family; If you don't grasp it any longer, you will miss the big event of the doll's life.

No, we have to do it quickly.

In the past, the family was poor and couldn't afford to give financial gifts, and other people's girls also looked down on the Zhang family, but now it's different, as long as it's the girl her son likes, she is willing to give as many financial gifts as she wants.

Aunt Liu is a well-known matchmaker in ten miles and eight townships, and when she heard that she was going to introduce Zhang Yunfeng, she responded without thinking about it, and said: "With the conditions of your family, keep it for a yellow flower girl with black eyebrows, big eyes, big buttocks, and fat buttocks." ”

Aunt Liu put down her words, and things were done beautifully.

She introduced four girls to Zhang Yunfeng in a row, according to Zhang Yunqi's vision, the conditions are quite good, either the family background is solid, or the attitude is not rich, only Zhang Yunfeng is a person, or the appearance is attractive, the physical development is plump, it is the kind of woman that the croppers dreamed of, but in the end it was not negotiated.

Because Zhang Yunfeng felt that it was inappropriate.

In fact, since he was arranged on a blind date by Zhang's mother, Zhang Yunfeng's heart has been churning, and he knows that this matter will happen sooner or later. His age is indeed not young, people of the same age as him in the village already have daughters-in-law dolls, and when he sees the young couple making love together, he can't help but mess up in his heart for a long time, but he is not willing to go on a blind date.

Aunt Liu ran out of options, and said directly to Zhang's mother who came to the door: "I can't do this introduction, Yun Feng, it stands to reason that with the current conditions of your family, Yun Feng is such a good offspring, whoever you want to pick is who, but the problem is that he doesn't pick anyone, introducing one is not suitable, introducing one is not suitable, introducing one is not suitable, how can I introduce it." ”

Zhang's mother was so angry after hearing this, she went home and made a fire at Zhang Yunfeng, so scared that Chunlan and Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to watch "Journey to the West", Zhang Yunfeng squatted at the gate of the courtyard and smoked a muffled cigarette without saying a word.

Zhang Yunqi, who was peeling winter bamboo shoots and preparing to cook lunch, threw down the work in his hand, walked over and pulled Zhang's mother aside, and told her with a smile: "Big brother already has a favorite person in his heart, don't arrange a blind date for him, this matter is barely coming." ”
