He Yuan closed the computer and went to the kitchen.

Tang Duoduo had already served the porridge and cut the side dishes by the way.

She chopped the pickles, put them in a small dish, and drizzled them with chili oil.

The amount doesn't look like a lot, but the white and red kimchi looks very refreshing, and with the chili oil drizzled, it looks very appetizing.

He Yuan sat down at the dining table, opened the tofu bottle on the table casually, and took out a piece of tofu from it.

In the past, the older generation also liked to eat like this, and at that time there was a kind of red dough, called "bean dregs", which should be made of a mixture of bean dregs and chili noodles.

However, after so many years, it is difficult for He Yuan to see this kind of food that only exists in his memory.

After Tang Duoduo finished it, he wiped his hands with a rag and sat down at the dining table.

She looks more and more calm now, a little bit of an adult.

This made He Yuan feel happy at the same time, but he was still a little depressed in his heart - the child is too mature, and it is a bit unpleasant to be a parent.

He Yuan is not old-fashioned, he will not be like his father, he has to force his children to be sensible, polite, and have good academic performance, just like other people's children. At this age, it's time to cry, make trouble, and go crazy.

But when he thought of what happened to Tang Duoduo, He Yuan sighed in his heart again, such a young child was prematurely burdened with something that did not belong to her, and it can only be said that everything is fate.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Tang Duoduo, he seemed to be quiet and quiet, but he was very poisonous when he was familiar. Dressed up in black silk to dress up very dusty.,A girl who is wary of the people around her in private.。

is spicy and quiet, probably the most real appearance of Tang Duoduo.

The two of them ate quietly.

To be honest, He Yuan didn't know what the difference between porridge and porridge was.

Until one time, a coastal friend told him that there was a big difference.

Porridge needs to be boiled, the time is long, generally a few hours, the boiled porridge is thicker, easy to digest, and the nutritional value is also high;

Seeing that what she said was so straightforward, He Yuan was embarrassed to interrupt her. In fact, He Yuan felt that it was all in a pot anyway, and it would be eaten in the end, even if the nutrients were lost, it would not be lost to the stomach in the end.

After eating, Tang Duoduo began to clean up the table again.

Because it was breakfast in the kitchen, it was more convenient for Tang Duoduo to clean up.

He Yuan here, there are several places to eat, when there are few people, or when they eat breakfast, they are in the kitchen; when there are many people, they go to the living room; occasionally if they want to be poetic and picturesque, if they want to be by the window, they go to the study, clean up the table there, plug in the battery stove, you can cook a hot pot or something, the last time Lao Huang came over, they ate hot pot in the study; if you want to barbecue, go to the yard, the set of open-air grills that He Yuan bought is still placed under the wooden frame.

In fact, He Yuan has been a little bit like to eat barbecue recently, but it is too cold, washing vegetables, skewering dishes or something, it is too tossed. He plans to wait for the Spring Festival to get warmer and then go out for a barbecue.

"By the way, when do you think we're going to move in. ”

When Tang Duoduo was washing the dishes, He Yuan lit a cigarette and asked.

To be honest, in the winter, he really doesn't really want to wash the dishes. Especially now that he is using the computer again, every time after washing the dishes, he always feels uncomfortable touching the computer with his fingers.

But he kept asking Tang Duoduo to wash, and he felt embarrassed, and he always felt as if he had taken advantage of others, so He Yuan thought about when he wanted to buy a dishwasher and come back.

Tang Duoduo turned on the hot water, soaked the bowl in the sink, and poured dish soap on it.

After soaking the rag under hot water, Tang Duoduo dipped it in a little dish soap, picked up the bowl, and the rag stroked along the edge of the bowl, and after repeating it twice, a bowl was cleaned.

Put the washed dishes aside, Tang Duoduo and two other bowls draw gourds according to the scoop, wash them in turn, and then put the washed bowls under the faucet again, rinse them, wipe them dry with a dry rag, and then put them in the cupboard.

After doing this, Tang Duoduo wiped his hands and said, "Do you want to move now?" ”

Hearing Tang Duoduo ask this, He Yuan was also a little hesitant.

To be honest, after living in the old mansion for a long time, He Yuan has completely gotten used to it.

Not to mention whether it is comfortable to live here, just the renovation of the entire yard, the design, and even every piece of furniture here were personally selected by He Yuan, and it took a lot of time, energy, and ...... Affection.

If someone had asked him before, if you had such a house, would you still go to live elsewhere, He Yuan would definitely feel that the person who asked this question was afraid that he would be crazy.

It seems to be okay to hide in this comfort zone and live a lazy and lazy life every day.

However, after experiencing the last incident, He Yuan understood that he was not qualified to live such a life.

"It's not in a hurry, at the latest, the time can be after the year. He Yuandao.

What was agreed with Lao Huang will not be started until the end of the year at the earliest, and during this period of time, He Yuan and they live here, and there is no problem.

"Let's talk about it in a few years. Tang Duoduo said.

Looking at Tang Duoduo's casual look, He Yuan was a little speechless.

Obviously, the little girl didn't want to move, but He Yuan didn't really want to move.

Besides, this is about to be the New Year, everyone is buying New Year's goods, who will come over to help him toss and move.

Okay, let's move after the year, and live for a while.

"By the way, you got up so early today, what's the matter? He Yuan asked again.

"It's nothing, can't you get up early, I'm usually earlier than this. Tang Duoduo looked at He Yuan with a strange expression.

It is also said that Tang Duoduo usually gets up at seven o'clock, and after making breakfast, after eating, he goes to school. After all, she got up a little later than usual today.

But He Yuan takes himself as the standard, in his opinion, weekends should be lazy, otherwise how can they be called weekends.

Hey, I'm still a kid, and I don't know how precious the opportunity to sleep in on the weekend is. When she goes to work in the future, she wants to sleep lazy, but she has no chance.

"If it's okay, then come with me into the city to buy New Year's goods. He Yuandao.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and He Yuan has not yet purchased New Year's goods.

Although he didn't buy it in previous years, at most, when he came back, he carried some small gifts for his family, and when he left, he brought some local specialties to bring home.

However, this year is a little different.

This is the first time He Yuan has spent the New Year in his hometown.

"Buying New Year's goods...... Good. Tang Duoduo tilted his head and thought about it, and then agreed.

He Yuan rested for a while, and then drove Tang Duoduo into the city.

Because it's early in the morning, the small county town seems relatively deserted, and the shopping mall has just opened.

He Yuan chose a larger shopping mall, and the staff in it were either engaged in hygiene, placing goods, or labeling.

He Yuan took a look, probably because of the Chinese New Year, the decoration in the mall looked more festive, and all kinds of discounted labels and brands were endless, and He Yuan's eyes were about to be shook.

He took a small cart and shuttled through the shelves with Tang Duoduo one after the other.

"By the way, what are you going to buy? Tang Duoduo asked casually while looking at the goods beside him.

What she was holding in her hand was a box of canned dried fruits, which cost fifty or sixty yuan for a palm-sized can. I don't know if there are more rich people in the small county, or if the merchants are floating, in short, the current price of goods, that one is more expensive than the other.

Like a few years ago, the little girls' favorite pickled pepper and phoenix feet were only a few yuan a bag, and the more expensive ones were only five or six yuan. Now, He Yuan took a look, the big bags of pickled pepper phoenix feet are basically more than ten yuan a bag, and the number of phoenix feet in it is very small, basically one or two chicken feet in a bag may not be enough.

Are prices soaring so much now?

He Yuan scratched his head.

Because he doesn't often buy snacks, He Yuan doesn't pay enough attention to these things. I bought it online a few times before, because it was a discount, plus a coupon subsidized by the website, it was very cheap, so He Yuan didn't pay attention to it.

After going to the mall this time, there was no discount when shopping online, and there were no various red envelopes, and He Yuan really felt the impact of rising prices for the first time...... It's too expensive.

Although I haven't been to the supermarket for two years, the price has changed a bit exaggerated compared with the impression, a lot of things, directly increased by two or three times, originally quite a "civilian" small snack, turned into a "luxury", He Yuan didn't dare to start for a while.

He didn't know if the world was too crazy or if he was outdated.

Looking at the dazzling array of various New Year's goods, He Yuan was a little uncertain and said, "What did you buy before?"

"You don't know?" Tang Duoduo put down the jar of dried fruits and looked at He Yuan in some surprise.

He Yuan nodded honestly.

He used to go home and just eat.

He eats what he has at home, and he doesn't eat what he doesn't have.

"Usually there should be some melon seeds and peanuts and the like. He Yuan hesitated.

Anyway, when he used to celebrate the New Year, every family basically had these things.

Especially after the adults finished eating, when they were playing cards there, He Yuan was bored alone, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds, hid in the corner, and looked out the window while knocking on the melon seeds, and there was also the sound of the Spring Festival Gala playing on the TV in his ears.

At that time, He Yuan was thinking, it's so boring, if only I could go out and surf the Internet. However, this link can generally be implemented only after receiving the New Year's money.

Although most of the New Year's money has to be handed over, He Yuan can still leave two or three hundred yuan, which is basically his entire Spring Festival expenses - or rather, the Internet fee for the entire Spring Festival.

"Who's going to eat those stuff now? Tang Duoduo looked at He Yuan speechlessly.

It felt like watching a primitive man crawl out of the ground.

Seeing her eyes, Rao is He Yuan's face has become much thicker these days, but he still can't help but blush.

Originally, He Yuan's life experience was not rich, and over the years, all his energy has been spent on work, and he has not paid attention to these things that everyone is accustomed to on weekdays.

When I was in Beijing before, I didn't feel anything, after all, everyone didn't talk about these things, everyone talked about work, industry, and the development of the Internet.

But in my hometown, everyone is talking about life, such as various festivals and customs...... To be honest, He Yuan really doesn't know anything about customs, and he doesn't even know what festival to eat dumplings. On some festivals that don't have holidays, he is even more black-eyed.

It can be said that He Yuan is a qualified, middle-aged man born in the 90s who grew up under the "policy", and all his cognition of holidays comes from whether the country has a holiday or not.

Like the winter solstice, the beginning of spring, He Yuan will only know when he swipes the screen in the circle of friends, "Oh, there is such a thing".

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there are fewer and fewer people who eat melon seeds and peanuts now.

When he took the high-speed train before, He Yuan felt as if something was missing. It wasn't until He Yuan got off the train halfway, smoked outside, and saw that there were melon seeds and peanuts sold on the platform, that he remembered, oh, it turns out that there are no melon seeds and peanuts.

He Yuan still remembers that when he first went to Beijing, he took a green train, and the whole journey took more than 30 hours. At that time, what he remembered the most was the sentence "melon seeds, peanuts, eight-treasure porridge, beer, drinks, mineral water, the front one, put the legs in front of you, don't block the aisle".

In my impression, when He Yuan took the high-speed rail before, he would often see someone bring melon seeds on the train. It's only been a long time, and people on the high-speed rail don't eat melon seeds and peanuts anymore, and even the small carts on the high-speed rail don't sell these things.

He Yuan once again felt that the world was developing too fast, and He Yuan could no longer keep up.

It's like more than ten years ago, the older generation always sighed that now is the world of young people, and they can't keep up.

At that time, He Yuan was still very strange, what happened to this world, why couldn't he catch up.

I didn't expect feng shui to take turns, and it was only a long time before it was He Yuan's turn to sigh.

"Then what do you say to buy?" He Yuan couldn't think of it, so he simply didn't want to.

Since it is a young person's world, let the young people think about it.

Tang Duoduo probably didn't expect that He Yuan would directly throw the problem back to her.

It can be seen here that Tang Duoduo is an honest person, because she really thinks about it seriously.

"This ...... Dried fruits should be a must, I saw them buy a lot of dried fruits during the Chinese New Year last year. Tang Duoduo thought for a while, and then pointed to the dried fruit road on the side.

Dried fruit?

Okay, buy!

Although he complained about the price of dried fruits, He Yuan still didn't blink his eyes and took several boxes.

Even when he saw that there was a gift box of dried fruits next to him, He Yuan also carried two boxes, whether it was for his family, relatives, or Tian Rui's parents or something, they could be used.

Just these three boxes of dried fruits cost almost 600 yuan, plus what I ate at home, a total of 7 or 800 yuan.

It's no wonder that when it comes to the Chinese New Year, those merchants are like crazy.

He Yuan felt a little painful when he bought these things...... Don't look at him buying computers and furniture, spending thousands, tens of thousands at once, without blinking his eyes, but in terms of food, He Yuan really hasn't spent so much money at one time.

Think about it again, every time the Chinese New Year comes, those who eat at home, give gifts, all kinds of messy, and fancy things in the huli, it is estimated that they will not spend less money - here in my hometown, I am very particular about a face, if the thing is not valuable, even if it is very good, it will not be able to give it away.

What they send is not practicality, what they send is a "face", and things that are not expensive have no "face" in their eyes and cannot be used.

Therefore, although the third- and fourth-tier cities are a little tepid in their daily consumption on weekdays, when it comes to the New Year's holiday, it is definitely the time for all kinds of high-consumption to blow out.

Even a "sensible" person like He Yuan, driven by the idea of "Anyway, for the New Year, I want to have fun, I will buy what I should buy", I will buy some things that I usually don't need at all, not to mention the old people in my hometown who pay attention to a "face" and a "rules".

"If you want sugar, let's have some too. Don't buy that kind of packaging, just buy some bulk, weighed ones. Tang Duoduo pointed to the snack area again and said to He Yuan.

Sugar?

OK, buy!

He Yuan put the dried fruits into the trolley, pushed the cart, and Tang Duoduo came to the bulk sugar area and began to pick up the sugar.

To be honest, if He Yuan was alone, he would never buy such a thing as sugar.

It's not that he doesn't eat it, He Yuan bought a bunch of snacks before, put them at home, and waited for Tian Rui to come over, and the two of them ate together.

However, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Tian Rui Hotel is very busy, and he hasn't been here for a while.

That kind of Wang Zai's milk candy, or White Rabbit milk candy, a whole bag, he can eat one clean in the afternoon, and after eating...... I felt a pain in my cheeks.

When He Yuan eats sugar, he never licks the sugar little by little. Basically, it is held in the mouth, and when the sugar is softer, I can't help but start chewing. I feel like eating candy is like eating French fries, one after another, and I can't stop at all.

Fortunately, He Yuan's habit is to eat sometimes and not eat when he doesn't.

Therefore, after the sugar at home was finished, He Yuan's obsessive-compulsive behavior-like behavior stopped.

I have to say that there are more and more types of sugar now.

The candy in the past was not good-looking, and it was hard to eat.

I remember that every year during the Chinese New Year, when I went to my grandmother's house, my grandmother would take out a big bag and come out. There are various flavors of melon seeds and peanuts in it, what creamy, dry fried, plain, and the rest is all kinds of sugar.

However, He Yuan will only pick some candy that he likes to eat, such as white rabbits, corn candy, all kinds of gummies, and Dove chocolate - but I have to say that He Yuan felt that many of the bulk chocolates sold in supermarkets at that time were fake.

The chocolate is very hard and not crispy at all, and when you bite into it, it basically does not become soft, but will crumble into a lot of residues, which is particularly uncomfortable to eat.

The kind of thing that is usually put out, five yuan a catty, and no one buys it, after putting on Dove's clothes, puts it in the supermarket, and sells Dove at the price - it can only be said that today's people, once they have no face, there is no lower limit at all.

The things in the supermarket are not all genuine.

Those trolls who are arguing that "online shopping is too fake, and the real thing in the physical store is the real thing" should really stuff a handful of chocolate into their mouths.

If you buy fakes online, you can at least return them through Taobao customer service, or refund the money. No matter how bad it is, you can also make bad reviews on the Internet and disgust the merchants. But you buy a guy in the supermarket, you go to someone else, and no one else pays attention to you.

If it makes a big fuss, others will directly dump you, "This is how the goods we buy, you have the ability to go to the manufacturer." ”

In the past, the old people were relatively straight, and if they really bought fakes, they would definitely go to the supermarket to theorize. At that time, He Yuan was worried that this would happen, so although he knew that what he ate was fake, he didn't tell his grandmother.

For the New Year, why bother making trouble for this little thing.

Besides, the old man buys these things and doesn't eat them himself, as long as He Yuan doesn't say it, she doesn't know, she is still happy there, how good it is.

But when it was his turn, He Yuan was very concerned.

After comparing them for a long time and confirming that what I bought was not a fake, I picked out some sugar and put it in a bag.

He didn't buy much, just a small bag of each, but there were many categories, scattered more than a dozen, all kinds of flavors, and all types of sugar.

Especially on the sugar that Tang Duoduo's eyes had rested on, He Yuan paid a little attention to it, and when he met a suitable one, he put it in a bag and weighed it together.

Soon, after buying the sugar, He Yuan asked Tang Duoduo again what he should buy next.

At this moment, Tang Duoduo also made a difficulty.

She looked at the supermarket for a long time and said, "Next...... Now, it's time to buy fruit, right?"

"I'm going to buy fruit so soon. He Yuan scratched his head.

He looked at the cart, and although there were a lot of things, it still seemed that there were too few types.

"Otherwise, what do you think you want to buy?" Tang Duoduo glanced at He Yuan.

"What are you buying......" He Yuan touched his chin and began to think about it.

It seems that there really is nothing to buy.

"By the way, do you want to make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Tang Duoduo suddenly asked.

"Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" He Yuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tang Duoduo, and found that she was looking into the distance.

He Yuan followed her gaze and saw the aquatic area, as well as various places selling meat and cooked food.

"Forget it, you should go back to dinner. Tang Duoduo said, turning his gaze, his voice a little low.

Hearing this, He Yuan's heart seemed to be suddenly choked.
