Three tables for dinner, many people can only be held in the courtyard, this year there is no courtyard in Woniu Village is a cement floor, in order to prevent dust from dirty food, Yang Cuihua and Yang Yushan in advance in the yard spread a layer of fine pine needles, sprinkled some water.

The table is full of people, braised pork head, braised fatty meat, fried pork liver, fried lean meat, radish pork ribs, blood enema, chili boiled pork heart and lungs......

Add green cabbage, radish, dried bamboo shoots, dried wild mushrooms and other vegetarian dishes, according to the custom, eight bowls and four dishes are full of tables.

This is the most sumptuous meal of the year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is much more than this one, but what Li Feng looked forward to most when he was a child was the New Year, because only the New Year did he have new clothes and pocket money.

In order to be able to accompany relatives and friends, the family members are scattered, each table is allocated two, Li Feng and grandfather Li Kui sit at one table, and there are village chief Li Siguo and several old people in the village at the same table, which is the heaviest table among the three tables.

In view of Li Feng's first place in the exam, Li Kui deliberately pulled Li Feng to sit with him.

Everyone talked and laughed, Li Feng was also praised several times during the banquet, Li Kui was very happy to hear it, and drank most of the water and wine after a meal, so that Yang Cuihua complained after the meal.

"Drink, old lady, you old lady talk about a ball!" while knitting a sweater. ”

Li Kui, who drank a lot, was very stylish, Yang Cuihua's face was not so friendly, I don't know if Li Kui would kneel at the end of the bed and sing conquest when he sleeps at night.

During the meal, Li Feng found a strange phenomenon, that is, adults sneered at lean meat, but they had a soft spot for the fat bowl of braised pork, and they all rushed to eat it.

The characteristics of the times, people work very hard during the day, the lean meat is not fat, and the stomach is oily and not panicked.

After dinner, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the courtyard, there was no TV movie, singing and dancing around the bonfire was one of the few entertainments in Woniu Village, Li Kui pulled a broken erhu to lead the dance in front, everyone danced in the back, and the noise was dispersed until almost eleven or twelve o'clock at night.

Xizi Apricot and Li Mei are children by nature, and they dozed off before ten o'clock after making a fuss for a while, and their uncles Yang Yuqiang and Li Shan coaxed them to sleep in Li Feng's room first.

Just a few broken houses, it's no problem to squeeze one or two, but I can't receive my uncle's family, and after the singing and dancing ended, my uncle's family insisted on going back, Yang Yushan and Li Shan kept it, and finally had to give up helplessly to face the reality.

However, she found a basket and put a lot of meat on Yang Yuqiang's back, and her mother's family came to help kill the New Year's pig, according to custom, she must send some meat before leaving, as for how much to send, it depends on her own situation.

This is the same as the exchange of gifts, Yang Yuqiang's family killed pigs last month, Yang Yushan and Li Shan and his wife were busy setting up stalls and couldn't win, Li Kui went, and he still came back with seven or eight catties of meat.

Yang Yuqiang looked at the basket, it was almost thirty or forty catties of meat, and he called it too much, so he asked Yang Yushan to take some back.

"There are two pigs in the family this year, and the business in the town is good, so my sister will let you take it. "Yang Yushan is as domineering as ever.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to let you go home in the middle of the night, and next year we will tear down the two earthen houses and build a building, and at that time our two in-laws will drink until dawn, and sleep in whichever room you want. ”

Li Kui was helplessly smoking a cigarette pot next to him, as Yang Yushan and Li Shan and his wife set up stalls in the town every day to make money, their hearts were slowly changing, and they planned to build a building next year if they had the conditions, that is, four or five hundred yuan.

In the past, I couldn't afford to build a house, but now I can save a few months, it's not a big problem, and when my family comes next year, it's no problem for one person to live in one room, Li Kui thought happily in his heart.

"It's just a few steps, it's out of the way, and the torches are not extinguished before we get home. Li Feng's grandfather replied happily, knowing in his heart that his in-laws did not have a place to sleep with so many people, and then again, his own family was similar to his in-laws.

Uncle has already shouted Xizi Apricot to get up, grandparents and grandparents carry one on their backs, and uncle leads the way with torches in front, from Li Feng's house to his uncle's house to climb two mountains, and it takes almost half an hour to walk the mountain road at night, but this road is not a problem for the mountain people.

The north wind was howling at night, and the cold was freezing, and it didn't take long for Li Feng to see a fire flickering on the opposite mountain, like an elf in the dark.

Everyone was gone, Li Kui drank a little too much, and was called by Yang Cuihua to rest, Yang Yushan and Li Shan took advantage of the night to clean up the mess.

"Take care of my sister, your two brothers and sisters sleep in the same bed tonight, she kicks the quilt at night. ”

Li Feng wanted to help clean up, but Yang Yushan took care of Li Mei.

The quilt had been half kicked by Li Mei, Li Feng helped her dry the quilt, washed her feet and lay down next to her, and fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, he felt difficult to breathe, and when he woke up from the dream, he realized that it was Li Mei pinching his nose.

"Ahh

Last night, when Li Feng got up, Yang Yushan had already made breakfast, wiped his face, ate two steamed buns, and took Li Mei to play in the grass outside the house.

Yang Yushan and Li Shan did not go to set up a stall today, it is not a few days before the New Year, there are many rules in the countryside, and there are many things to prepare for the New Year.

Therefore, Yang Yushan and Li Shan have not set up stalls for the past few days, and Li Feng has one more task ~ to release the donkey.

I didn't have breakfast, I carried a little blue on my back, took Li Mei, and led the donkey to the fields for a walk, and I couldn't come back until the donkey was full.

Tie Dan and Jin Mei will come to Li Feng if they have nothing to do, and under Li Feng's flickering, the two of them highly carry forward the spirit of helping others, and watch the donkey and Li Mei.

Sometimes, the donkey is hungry before he is full, but this is not difficult for Li Feng, when he goes out, he prepares dry food, steamed potatoes and spicy seeds, and makes a fire when he is hungry at noon, burns a few potatoes and bakes a few steamed buns, and drinks mountain spring water when he is thirsty, which is the lunch of several children.

Li Feng occasionally tells a fairy tale to Tie Dan and Jin Mei, looking at the little star that Jin Mei admires in her eyes, Li Feng is young and lives the life that people in the city dream of, "The peasant woman has a little money".

It's a pity that this peasant woman is a little Lori version! I can only wait patiently for her to grow up.

Li Feng himself is also a little kid, if it is estimated that it is good, it will take seven or eight years to find hair for that thing.

The money is only a few dozen yuan, which was saved under Yang Yushan's tiger's mouth.

And Yang Yushan and Li Shan used the past few days to remove the weeds and garbage in front of and behind the house, clean all the clothes and bedding at home, and make up for the worn-out clothes that can be mended, and those that can't be mended are included in the list of insoles.

Anyway, make the best use of things, and be reluctant to lose old things, and never give up if you don't squeeze out the last bit of use value.

Li Feng remembers that before the crossing, every time he helped his parents clean their room, there were still old clothes from twenty or thirty years ago in the boxes in their rooms.

From another point of view, it can also be explained that although the material is simple in this era, the quality of things is really good, there is nothing to say, the clothes will not be broken after a few years, a pot is used for more than ten years, and a 28-bar bicycle carrying a 200-pound cargo will not be broken for a few years on the uphill mountain village road, at most it will be repaired.

In the twenty-ninth year, Yang Yushan and Li Shan and his wife went to the town to catch a fair, and when they came back, they brought Li Feng a radio the size of a brick.

It can't be plugged in, only the battery can be used, the signal is not very good, and the copper coin tied on the radio antenna head is less noisy.

"Study hard in the future, don't break it, it's just such a broken thing, Mom has to set up a stall for a month to earn it." ”

Yang Yushan still didn't forget the reward that Li Feng wanted that day, and after more than ten days of entanglement, he gritted his teeth and bought it.
