Chapter 10 Reunion Dinner

"Actually, it has something to do with me, the situation at home is too difficult, he is tired outside alone, and I understand him. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that his family was too poor, I believe Guozhong wouldn't have done this, and maybe he wouldn't have any hardships. ”

"I'm sure Guozhong will come back," my mother said to my grandfather.

"Why are you so kind, I don't know if you're kind or stupid. It's just self-deception. When my grandfather heard this, he couldn't speak clearly.

"You still talk about other people, aren't you the same? abandoning your wife and children," a voice immediately followed.

If this is not my grandmother's voice, who is it? Only my grandmother dares to speak to my grandfather like that.

"What are you doing? I'm talking about my daughter, how did it happen to me, and besides, you don't know what was going on. I, I, I'm forced to do it!"

When my grandfather heard my grandmother's count, his face was a little unbearable, after all, in front of so many people.

It's all their juniors, and my grandfather reacted immediately, and his reaction just now was a bit big.

So he scratched the back of his head, a child's action, which made people laugh.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter for now, Xiaoxi, come on, grandma will give you New Year's money. Grandma beckoned to Xiaoxi.

Then he took out a red envelope from his pocket, a big red envelope.

"This is grandma's intention, Xiaoxi will buy some delicious food, you can see how thin our Xiaoxi has become. Grandma couldn't help but stuff the red envelope into Xiaoxi's arms.

My mother didn't say anything when she saw this, because it is customary for the elders to send red envelopes to the younger ones in the countryside, "Don't hurry up to give my grandmother and grandfather New Year's greetings." ”

The mother urged, "My granddaughter is here to greet her grandparents and grandmother, Happy New Year, bring the red envelope." ”

"It seems that our Xiaoxi is also a little money fan!" everyone laughed.

"New Year's greetings to my aunt, uncle, uncle and aunt, Happy New Year, bring the red envelope. Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and begged one by one.

All of a sudden, there were seven or eight red envelopes in Xiaoxi's pocket, which made Xiaoxi's pocket bulge.

Xiao Xi was also very happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

After a simple lunch, I was about to prepare for the highlight of the evening, and when I heard that my mother was going to make eight big bowls, the uncle next to me said, "Little sister, don't you know that my mother is very good at making eight big bowls? ”

"Mei'er, you just look at my craftsmanship and make you the real eight big bowls. I'll teach you how to do it, I just helped people make eight big bowls to raise a few of you. ”

"It's not like some people who didn't do anything and picked up a few sons and daughters for nothing. Grandma glanced at her grandfather.

Grandpa's face turned red when he heard this, "Mei'er, follow me into the kitchen, and I'll teach you." ”

My mother also behaved well in front of my grandmother, so I followed my grandmother into the kitchen.

"The eight bowls mainly include: four meats and four vegetarians. The four meats are mainly pork, and the four bowls of meat are selected from the front meat, the middle rib meat, the hind leg meat, and the elbow meat, and the meat used in the four bowls of meat is different, and each bowl of meat has a name for the elbow, crispy meat, button meat, and square meat. The four ingredients are generally radishes, kelp, vermicelli and tofu. The eight bowls are not only well-selected, but also exquisitely crafted. ”

"You need good experience to make eight bowls, so you can do eight bowls well. ”

"Steamed square meat, steamed Su meat, steamed button meat, steamed meatballs. You follow me step by step. ”

After my grandmother finished speaking, she started to do it, and my mother watched and cooked, and after the meat dishes were ready, she began to make vegetarian dishes.

Put the meat vegetables in a steamer to keep warm, and then make four vegetables: tofu (fried tofu or white tofu), kelp, vermicelli, and seasonal vegetables (such as radish, cabbage, eggplant, etc.).

After a while, the two finished all the dishes in the kitchen.

Because there are many people, one is not enough, so my mother deliberately made two copies per person, but in fact, it was not deliberate, but my grandmother made one, and my mother followed my grandmother to make one.

Buckle elbow, crispy pork, button pork, square meat, fried tofu, kelp, vermicelli and stir-fried cabbage.

Of course, the main course of dinner is not only that, but also the sauce duck, this sauerkraut fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms......

The most important thing is a bowl of rice balls per person, and eating rice balls means reunion.

In the midst of laughter, the most important time of the evening was ushered in, the reunion dinner, which was the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The sound of "crackling, crackling", this is the sound of firecrackers.

Mom also took out two firecrackers from the back room, two is double, double happiness.

Grandpa was in charge of firing the cannon, and there was another crackling sound, and the smell of gunpowder in the air heralded the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve.

"It's time to eat, let's find a place to sit," grandparents must have sat at the table.

Mom and uncles, aunts and uncles brought this dish one after another.

"Wow, what a sumptuous dinner," Xiao Xi kept staring at the dishes, and Xiao Xi didn't dare to move the chopsticks without her mother's permission.

Generally, the elders move the chopsticks first, and the younger generations can move the chopsticks.

"Mom, Dad, move the chopsticks quickly, if you don't move the chopsticks, Xiaoxi won't be able to eat. The uncle sitting next to Xiaoxi said to his grandparents.

"Okay, okay, we Xiaoxi still know this," as soon as he finished speaking, he began to move his chopsticks.

Then everyone ate happily, and this time of year is the happiest time for the family.

The family was talking happily, and no matter whether the year was happy or not, everyone was smiling with happiness at this time.

This is the real family, loved ones.

At nine o'clock in the evening, there was a burst of fireworks, and everyone put their chairs in the yard to watch the brilliant fireworks outside.

Of course, Xiaoxi couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and began to set off the fireworks she bought by her mother.

There is a joyful scene everywhere, this is Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the family.

In Xiaoxi's sleep, Xiaoxi and her mother, father, grandparents, and grandmothers are all living happily.

Live freely and happily in unfettered days, without separation.

Of course, this is also Xiaoxi's best wish, just a wish.
