"Son!"

As soon as Xiaohai left, Li Dong was about to take a knife to unload the pig's leg, and his mother came to him.

"Huh?" Li Dong stopped the knife in his hand, thinking that his mother was going to guide him to dismantle the bones, after all, in the past, the work of shaving meat during the New Year was done by his mother herself.

"Son, you go to the bun shop. Wang Hongyan said, "Since they are about to become a family, then let Xiaojing Xiaohai Xiaoxue and them come over at night, let's sit together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, more people, otherwise Xiaojing's house is deserted, how boring." ”

"Okay, Mom, I'll go over here. Li Dong nodded, he went to Lin Jing's house for the New Year in the past two years, and if he didn't go this year, there would be one less person, and it was indeed deserted, so he took out the bones in the pork leg by dividing it by two, and then washed his hands and left the pharmacy.

It was still snowing outside, a thick layer had fallen on the ground, and every house on both sides of the old street had put up couplets and hung lanterns, and everywhere was full of New Year's flavor.

Because they are all residential shops, there are still many people on the old street, all of whom have been old neighbors for decades, and no one is doing business today, all preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

"Dongzi, happy New Year, aren't you going to treat people today?" After the neighbor saw Li Dong, he stopped what he was doing and stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

Li Dong has become bigger, and the highway in the three cities has also been opened, so more and more people will naturally come to Lao Cai, and the business of the whole street will be much better than before.

"No, rest at home for a few days. Li Dong said with a smile, and the snowflakes fell on his face and melted in an instant.

"Uncle Dong, Happy New Year. A group of children playing in front of the door greeted Li Dong.

"Happy New Year, come, give you candy to eat. Li Dong said as he took out a handful of candy from his pocket and distributed it to the children.

In a short old street, Li Dong walked over but it took a few minutes, as long as someone saw him, he would inevitably say hello, and he was embarrassed not to stop and chat, and some even took out the delicious food prepared at home and stuffed it into his hands, it was steamed meat, and it was sticky buns, and he walked all the way, and his stomach was almost supported.

The door of the steamed bun shop is still open, but there is no business, and the notice posted on the door of the store is closed from 30 to 7 days of the new year, and it will be open normally on the 8th day of the new year.

Wow!

The door opened, Li Dong walked in, Lin Hai was talking to Hu Xue with his eyebrows fluttering, seeing Li Dong coming, Hu Xue's face turned red, and Lin Hai was a little surprised.

"Brother Dong, why are you here, something?" Lin Hai asked, he had just come back from Jishitang, and Brother Dong came over, it must be a big deal.

"What, can't you come over and have a look if it's okay?" Li Dong looked in the direction of the back kitchen, but didn't see anyone, "What about your sister?"

"My sister has gone to the back room, so I'm going to call her. Lin Hai said that he was about to go to the back room.

"No, I'll go myself. As soon as Li Dong came to the backyard, he saw Lin Jing walking out of the back room with a big jar.

The jar was very large, and he couldn't close his arms, he was held in Lin Jing's arms, half of his body was covered by the jar, and only one head was exposed on it.

Lin Jing was very surprised when she saw Li Dong, and asked as she walked, "Li Dong, why are you here?" It was exactly the same as Lin Hai's tone just now, and even his expression was almost the same, probably thinking that Xiao Hai had just been to Jishitang, and he should explain what was there, so there was no need to deliberately run again.

"What are you doing?" asked Li Dong.

"Take the kimchi, pickled it for a month, today is just the day, do you want to try it?" Lin Jing asked, with a bit of anticipation in her eyes.

"Okay. Although Li Dong has just eaten a lot, his stomach can now be described as a bottomless pit, and others only know that Lin Jingbao's buns are delicious, in fact, the pickled kimchi on the other side is even more delicious, but the pickles are generally kept for themselves to eat, not for takeaway, so ordinary people really don't have this oral administration, and today is a coincidence.

Lin Jing carried the jar into the room, put it on the table, and then took down the sealed porcelain bowl, and a unique fragrance of kimchi instantly floated through the room, and there were all kinds of kimchi in the jar, peppers, cucumbers, turmeric, radishes, etc., etc., which looked very attractive.

Lin Jing picked up a radish and handed it to Li Dong, Li Dong took it and put it in his mouth, and it was crunchy when he bit it, sweet and sour with a little spicy, sour and appetizing.

"Delicious. Li Dong praised, "Get a plate and send it to my house in the evening, and my family has a table of meat." ”

"Okay, I'll let Xiaohai send it to you when the time comes. Lin Jing said happily.

"Well, when the time comes, you and Xiaoxue will also go together, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will come to my house for dinner." Li Dong said while eating.

"Huh?" Lin Jing was suddenly stunned, and even Lin Hai and Hu Xue on the side were full of doubts, thinking that shouldn't the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner be eaten together as a family, what does it mean to let outsiders go?

"My mother said, when Xiaohai and Xiaoxue get married, our two families will be a family, so close, it is also appropriate to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and there are many people and a taste of the New Year." Li Dong himself used chopsticks to clip a pickled cucumber from the jar, which tasted crispier than the pickled radish just now, "The words have already arrived, it's your business whether to go or not, I'm leaving." As he spoke, he took a bite of the pickled cucumber and walked out of the bun shop.

In the evening, it was already dark, and the red lanterns on the outside of each house were already lit, illuminating the whole old street extraordinarily red.

"Dangdang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the pharmacy, and then Lin Jing's voice was heard.

"Uncle, aunt, we're here. In addition to Lin Jing, there were also Lin Hai and Hu Xue, the things that the three of them were holding in their hands, Lin Jing was holding the kimchi that Li Dong wanted, Hu Xue was carrying two bottles of home-brewed rice wine in his hands, and Lin Hai was carrying some snacks in his hands.

Li Zhongzhi was serving food, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately greeted him.

"Come in quickly, and you're carrying something? Didn't you say, it's all a family, what's polite?"

"Uncle, when you come to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, you can't come empty-handed, right? In fact, it's not anything valuable, it's my pickled kimchi and home-brewed rice wine." Lin Jing said with a smile.

"Hey, you got these things, but you can't buy them with money. Li Zhongzhi took the things, and at this time, Wang Hongyan stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted loudly, "Wait a minute, there are still a few dishes, you can sit and watch TV first." ”

"Auntie, I'll help you. Lin Jing took off her down jacket, immediately rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen.

"Godmother, I'll help you too!" Hu Xue also walked in.

Lin Hai looked around, and then asked in a low voice, "Uncle, where is Brother Dong?"

"He, since the afternoon, the phone has not stopped, one after another, and he is still answering in the hospital. Li Zhongzhi sighed, but his face was full of smiles.

In his opinion, the more capable people are, the more phone calls they make at this time, the more capable his son is, and there are more people who greet him, and he, who is a father, naturally feels that his face is bright.

"That's Brother Dong, otherwise how could so many people think about Brother Dong and say hello to Brother Dong?" Lin Hai said with a smile, but as soon as the words fell, his mobile phone rang, "Ahem, uncle, I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone too." With that, he picked up his phone and ran out of the house.

Looking at Lin Hai's back, Li Zhongzhi shook his head with a smile.

They've all grown up!
