In the evening, the second uncle, Aijun, and the third uncle, the family of three, all returned, and it was the jeep of the county armed forces department that sent them back. Everything at home was ready, and several aunts worked together, and soon a table of dishes was organized, and grandma took a few bottles of famous wine.

Uncle Aijun looked at the new yard of Youyou's house, and said to his grandmother: "Aunt, Chaoxia wrote to me, saying that the yard you built is good, but I didn't expect your yard to be like this, I'm really happy for you." ”

Grandma said to him: "Your father also wants to build a new yard for you, and is ready to start construction after the year." ”

The second uncle asked, "Aunt, this yard has more than 2,000 yuan, right? Don't build it, don't knock out his old man's house." ”

"If you don't do it, your father will have to save more than 2,000 this year alone. ”

The second uncle listened to his grandmother's words and asked in surprise: "Auntie, why is our village's income so high this year?

Grandma sold Guan Zi to him, "Ask your daughter-in-law to go at night, she will have to earn 2,000." ”

The second uncle looked suddenly realized: "I said that I don't want to join the army anymore, but money is still moving." ”

Grandma slapped him, "Who said that, Chaoxia's things are almost cleaned up, and nothing is better than my nephew." ”

Uncle Aijun touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

After the meal, the driver of the armed forces department was leaving, and his grandmother brought him a piece of pork of more than ten catties and a box of New Year's goods. He happily said to Uncle Aijun: "Commander Han, I will come to pick you up in the future." ”

Uncle Aijun brought back two watches to Yoyo's parents, both of which were Shanghai brands. Chaoxia wrote a letter to bring it back, Wanying and Wei Hua were together. ”

Mom only took the men's watch: "Second brother, Wei Hua's I stayed, this women's watch let my second sister-in-law bring, she is going to join the army during the New Year, and the watch is not fast yet, outsiders have seen the joke." ”

The second aunt picked up the women's watch and put it in her mother's hand: "Sister Wanying, I will buy the watch again, and I won't bring the sewing machine anymore, so I will leave it to my sister-in-law." We have money, just let your second brother get a ticket. ”

The second uncle laughed at her: "Just now my aunt also said that you took advantage of the money, this is coarse enough." ”

When the third aunt heard this, she interjected and said: "In order to let the people have a safe year, the penicillin specially supplied by the state has arrived, and we don't have to sell medicine in the future." ”

When the eldest aunt and second aunt heard this, they were both relieved. "It's been a long time, we really have to rest for two days, and we're really tired of tossing these days. ”

The three aunts gave the grandmother money, and the grandmother asked them to take the rest of the medicine back and put it in their father's health room in the future. Although my aunt and aunt had to share the profits equally with my grandmother, my grandmother still kept the money at a price of 40 yuan.

Only then did the second uncle understand where his aunt's money came from, and the second aunt explained to him: "The price given by our aunt, if it is according to other people's prices, I can earn tens of thousands of yuan." But in that case, my nickname as a living bodhisattva will be gone. ”

The eldest aunt also said: "Running back and forth to see the sky, although it is not good to be tired, I can see that the child's condition is getting worse day by day, and I feel that it is worth it." ”

In the next two days, there were more people in the family, and grandma was also relaxed, and the consignment point had the help of the third aunt, and Yoyo was in charge of replenishment.

Grandpa was dragged to the clinic by the villagers to write Spring Festival couplets for everyone. A piece of red paper costs 7 cents, and everyone buys one. Grandma was troublesome, so she simply moved a pile of red paper over and gave it to everyone for free, thanking everyone for their support to the consignment point over the past year.

The uncles led the children, and made red paper lanterns, in which thick red candles were placed, carried with high sticks, and hung on both sides of the hall and the gate.

The third aunt looked at Youyou, who was running inside and outside to get the goods, and praised: "Aunt, Youyou is more useful than an adult, and your memory is really good." ”

"Isn't it, I'm old and forgetful. With her to follow, it is much more convenient, this child has been smart since he was a child, and he loves to worry. ”

Youyou thought to herself: Grandma, what you said is really true, it is really convenient to have me follow.

With the addition of two aunts and uncles, the kitchen is in full swing. Grandma lit the two charcoal stoves that her patriotic uncle brought back, and she never stopped boiling water and cooking meat.

The prepared food was served in an enamel basin and placed in the east room, and more than 20 basins were placed in a large piece.

Braised pig's head, pig ears, pig's mouth, pork liver, pork belly, pig's intestine, pig's tail, pig's trotters, pigskin jelly, elbows, just the pig is in the water on ten pots of vegetables, plus braised pork, beef, mutton, pork ribs, as well as chicken, duck, goose and fish, as well as water balls, braised meatballs, crispy meat, smooth meat, etc.

My aunt and uncle entered the East House once, and when they came out, they said, "Looking at these things, it's like a dream." I didn't feel anything, why is life so good. Calling communism to the sky, that's it. ”

My uncle and grandfather also said: "I led the whole village, and finally lived a good life, the chairman is really wise and wise, and the leadership of the Communist Party is really good." "You're confused, where is this, can you stand it, what kind of logic is this old man.

Grandma took out bags of peanuts and melon seeds, asked her aunt to fry them, and gave them snacks for the children during the New Year.

The third aunt saw it and said in surprise: "Aunt, I bought five catties of peanuts and melon seeds with the help of the DPRK. ”

Her uncle and grandmother said to her: "It's still a child, haven't you heard of it, money can make ghosts grind." It's just that your aunt is willing to spend a high price on the black market to pour food and drink for your family. ”

Chinese New Year's Eve, until twelve o'clock at noon, Yoyo's father did not return. Grandma ordered the meal to be served, and she didn't wait.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were firecrackers in the village to put dumplings. The outlet was busy until 5 p.m. before closing the door, and my father also came back from the commune health center, which was the first time he had returned home after going to the health center to help.

The custom here is that the family members of the family are all together to paste the couplet, and when they saw Yoyo's father coming back, several uncles hurriedly pasted the Spring Festival couplets. If you paste the Spring Festival couplets, you can't do business, and you can't open until you put firecrackers after the year.

The dumplings on the 30th night were filled with pork and celery, and everyone said they were delicious. When the first pot came out, it was snatched by the children, and they shouted while eating: "This dumpling is delicious, and I will eat it like this tomorrow." ”

In the current winter, in addition to cabbage, which is radish, celery is a rare green vegetable. Youyoujia has not stopped buying this winter, but after all, there are still a few people who go to the county seat, and they usually mainly use cabbage and radish.

After eating the dumplings, a few aunts were busy. Cut and mix, and after a while, you will be able to create a table of rich appetizers. In addition, 10 bowls of food were also purchased and placed in the shoulder blue.

The third uncle led a few children, lit the lanterns, hung them high, and the courtyard was shrouded in a red light, which was very festive.

Uncle and grandma, with a few uncles and Zhiyuan, carried the food, and grandma also took a bag, which was folded ingots and paper money.

It turned out that they went to the ancestral grave to pay tribute to their deceased relatives. In the past, on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone would go to the ancestral tomb to invite the ancestors home for the New Year, and the family tree would be hung in the middle hall of the family and tablet for everyone to worship.

Now, the ancestral graves are flattened, leaving only a small grave, which cannot be seen if you don't pay attention, and people don't dare to worship openly during the New Year. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and everyone will go to their ancestral grave to pay respects after dinner.
