When Zhang Yunqi drove his parents to Hongshan Lane, the pig-killing dishes of the first meeting had been almost done, many dishes were placed on the wooden table next to the stove, steaming hot, three kinds of pigs, burning blood, back to the pot meat, braised pork, plus a large pot of pork liver soup and two plates of side dishes. There are not many patterns, but they are thick and fat, ironed, shining with gluttonous oil, and the yard is full of the taste of old-time farm food.

Xiaoxiao and Chuxin were already sitting under the locust tree in front of the small courtyard and eating, these two little girls were holding small bowls and squeezing on the stool to gnaw on big bones and meat, their hands and faces were full of oil flowers, and there was a bottle of Jianlibao on the stool, which Ji Ling bought by the way when he called Zhang Yunqi in the commissary.

Every time Chu Dapeng met Zhang Yunqi, it was like a ghost knocking on the door.

When Zhang Yunqi called him Uncle Chu, he grinned and laughed crampedly, and I don't know if it was because Jiang Feng, the mother-in-law of the family, had a stable job in the past year, and the living conditions at home had improved.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't know about the dirty things that Chu Dapeng had done before. Because of Jiang Feng, over the past year, Zhang's mother has been very good to Chu Dapeng, she knows that Chu Dapeng has nothing to do, and has blown wind in Zhang Yunqi's ear several times to settle Chu Dapeng for a job, but the third child in the family has a bad memory, and she forgot about this stubble when she turned her head.

As for Zhang's father, since he was released from prison, he has not adapted to life in the city, and now his family is rich, and his children are busy with their careers, those who are engaged in studying, they have food and drink, and they don't want him to worry about anything. You must know that a farmer like him, in order to beg for food, has spent most of his life digging in the land, even in prison, he still works every day, and this is suddenly idle, and it is better to say that after three or five days, the whole person's mental state is not quite right.

Chu Dapeng doesn't know what to think, anyway, he doesn't have a job, he fishes all over the world all day long, it just so happens that now Zhang's father is out, once he met at Zhang Ji for dinner, he has always had no skin and no face, and he ran to find Zhang's father to chat and drink. So when he first saw Ji Ling go out and called Zhang Yun to get up at home to eat pig-killing rice, Chu Dapeng muttered in his heart, oops, he was afraid of Zhang Yunqi, this kid, don't look at this kid's young age, he speaks and does things with good etiquette, but he can eat people when he is fierce!

Chu Dapeng pondered in his heart, so he told his mother-in-law Jiang Feng to invite Zhang's father and Zhang's mother to the house to eat pig-killing rice. With Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, he was not so worried about Zhang Yunqi, and it was still early at that time, so it was too late.

Jiang Feng naturally agreed to this matter, and chattered "ahhhhh

In the era of planned economy, it was rare for ordinary people to eat pork several times a year. Although at that time every household also raised pigs, it was collective property. It was not until the 80s that the household contract responsibility system was deepened, and the lives of the common people were greatly improved, and the traditional custom of killing New Year's pigs of the Han nationality re-emerged. Whenever you kill a pig, it is essential to call your relatives and friends for a meal. It's almost the New Year, let's have a good meal together, lively and lively, and contact and contact feelings.

After Zhang's father and Zhang's mother entered the door, Chu Dapeng beckoned the two to sit on the top of the Eight Immortals table, Zhang's father was reluctant to sit at first, Chu Dapeng was stunned and pressed him hard, and said with a straight face: "If you don't sit there, who sits there!"

As for Zhang's mother, it was useless for Chu Dapeng to call, she had already gone to the stove in the small courtyard to help Jiang Feng cook for Chujian's mother, boiling lard, boiling pig's head, chopping pig's hands, and washing pig's belly, all of which were time-consuming and labor-intensive work.

In fact, in previous years, their family did not have to be so troublesome to kill pigs, because in the past, except for leaving a little pig into the water, the rest were to be sold, raising money to eliminate debts and pay tuition fees for the first sight, this year it is a lot more generous, half of the pork is sold to the Zhang family, and half of the pork is left for their own family to eat for the New Year.

Yes, although this home is still the rotten place in the past, and there are still such and such problems of hemp entanglement, but compared with before, there have been earth-shaking changes. At the very least, you don't have to worry about food and clothing anymore.

After the meal was served, everyone ate around the table of eight immortals, Zhang's father and Chu Dapeng drank Xiangjiang Daqu, Zhang Yunqi ate, most of their older generation talked about old valley things, a few young people couldn't interject, and after pulling the rice, they couldn't stay any longer, and they wanted to go out shopping together.

The streets are crowded with people, and the atmosphere of the old calendar and the New Year is very strong. Zhang Yunqi and his party of six people, Ji Ling saw Chunlan for the first time with Xiaoxiao and Chuxin, and the only man left behind.

A few girls are very energetic, here and there to see, eat all the way, and finally go to the new department store roller skating and buy clothes, this buy, from hairpins, jewelry, clothes to shoes, Zhang Yunqi bought a lot of money for a few little girls, spending money is like running water, ninety-four years when the major commercial banks did not issue transferable credit cards, a few stacks of cash to count is still very shocking.

When Zhang Xiaoxiao was picking up a gift in a high-end store, Zhang Yunqi saw the clothes on a model for the first time, and his eyes were a little distracted, it was a pure blue pleated skirt, and the price was a little expensive.

Zhang Yunqi looked at the clothes on her body and the gray coat she wore last year, thought about it, walked up to her and smiled as casually as he could: "This dress is very good-looking." ”

Chu Jian was stunned and nodded: "Yes, it's good-looking." ”

Zhang Yunqi said: "Then buy this skirt for you as a New Year's gift." ”

Hatsumi pursed his lips and shook his head, and the smile on his face was very clean.

Zhang Yunqi couldn't say anything more.

After shopping, a couple of girls went rollerblading.

There are a lot of things, several big bags, Zhang Yunqi asked a few girls to go to the roller skating rink first, and he led two waiters to go to the parking lot at the door with large bags and small bags of gifts to put things.

On the way back, Zhang Yunqi passed by the high-end store again, he stared at the pure blue pleated skirt, beckoned, and said to the waiter who came over: "Wrap this skirt." ”

At the end of the year, the roller skating rink was very prosperous.

All kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods stuffed it to the brim, especially students and street gangsters, some of them were fat, they whistled when they saw beautiful girls, got up to talk, or took the opportunity to take advantage of girls, in this case, Zhang Yunqi had no interest in skating, and he took care of the safety of Gu Jiling's girls throughout the whole process.

Playing until almost six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yunqi drove everyone home, first sent Ji Ling back to the water pavilion Yundu, and made an appointment to come out to play together during the New Year.

Zhang Yunqi drove Chujian and Chuxin back to Hongshan Lane, and when he got out of the car, Chuxin, who had been playing with Xiaoxiao Crazy for an afternoon, had fallen asleep, Chujian hugged her sister and was about to get out of the car, Zhang Yunqi opened the trunk, and after moving down the gift he bought for Chuxin, he called Chujian.

Chujian turned his head sideways: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yunqi took a beautifully packaged paper bag and handed it to Chu Jian, and smiled: "First meeting, how to say it, if it was when I first met, I wouldn't be like this, but now, I hope you can understand my simple mind, don't think so much, don't have so much pressure, just live happily every day." ”

Chu Mi was stunned for a moment, reached out and took the paper bag, inside was the dark blue pleated skirt, she opened her mouth, and for a while she didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, Hatsumi pursed his lips and said, "Yunqi, do you think I'm ugly in shabby clothes?"

Zhang Yunqi was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Hatsumi said: "Yunqi, I know you won't look at me with that kind of worldly eyes, you buy me a dress, it's not a big deal, I should have accepted it happily, and I also want to accept it happily." It's like you buy so many gifts for my sister. She doesn't understand, she only knows happiness and sadness, so I can't refuse if you are good to her and good to my family. However, you have always understood me, and you have helped me enough. You know what? It's because there's so much you can give me that I'm so scared that if I take it once, there will be a second time, a third time...... Then I fell into it, until one day, I became a worldly and insatiable person. ”

Speaking of this, Hatsumi was silent for a moment: "Of course, I am also a girl, and I also desire to wear decent and good-looking clothes and skirts every day, and dress myself up to stand in front of my classmates." It's not about showing off, it's about living with dignity. I don't have that kind of condition, though. Because my family is poor, but I will never think that I am poorer than others, so I am inferior to others. The suffering that life has given me, it will always be valuable. I believe that the rewards I have received for all my hard work will certainly be more meaningful than those that have been easily obtained. ”

For a while, Zhang Yunqi was speechless.

He silently looked at the clear girl in front of him, in the dark night, under the starry sky, the girl's eyes overflowed with broken light, and said: "Yunqi, I don't want you to buy me this and that, I don't want you to take care of my emotions at all times so good to me, I just want you to stand where I can see while I walk my way silently and quietly, okay?"

Pls. Don't give me a troll in the book review section! I'm not interested in serving you!
