Chapter 36: The Second Uncle's Family
Dumplings are made at night, this is a tradition in northern China!
Zhang Yujia is of course no exception, from before it gets dark, his mother and grandmother began to prepare noodles and chop stuffing.
Zhang Yujia usually makes dumplings with two kinds of fillings, leek mutton and three fresh fillings. His family generally does not use pork to make dumplings, only when steaming dumplings do pork, and generally steamed dumplings are filled with cabbage and pork.
Generally speaking, according to the practice of previous years, making dumplings is not Zhang Yu, it is all rolled by dad, and wrapped by mom and grandma. But this year, my mother didn't know what was wrong, so she actually asked Zhang Yu to come over and roll the skin, and let my father and grandfather rest while playing chess.
Dad has no complaints about this year's salary upgrade, and he is happy to play chess with the old man.
And Zhang Yu was originally on the live broadcast, so he could only stop and start rolling the skin. But at the request of the majority of fans, Zhang Yu began to make dumplings live, but he didn't expect a large number of people to watch it.
You can imagine how boring young people are during the Chinese New Year!
For rolling dumpling skins, Zhang was trained by his grandmother since he was a child. When I was a child living in my grandmother's house, I was taught by my grandmother. It's just that Zhang Yu doesn't like rolling skin very much, so he has always been rolling skin at home by his father.
After Zhang Yu washed his hands, he picked up the rolling pin and began to roll the skin. Then his mouth was not idle: "Let me tell you, Xiaoyu, I have been practicing rolling since I was six years old, and I have been practicing for almost twenty years now. Therefore, when it comes to rolling dumpling skins, I don't accept any small fish!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yu began to roll the skin neatly with his hands and feet, and the skin was rolled out in a few seconds. Although Zhang Yu's rolling level is not as good as that of those chefs who specialize in rolling skins in restaurants, it is also faster than ordinary people. In addition, because he has increased his hand speed, he is now rolling out the skin, which is really not comparable to ordinary people.
Zhang Yu's three or two operations shocked Yu Fang. She asked a little surprised: "Son, are you okay, have you practiced secretly?"
Zhang Yu had occasionally rolled dumpling wrappers before, but he definitely didn't have this speed and quality, so it was inevitable that Yu Fang would be suspicious.
"That's a must! I'm just to surprise you, I don't sleep every night, and secretly practice rolling dumpling wrappers every day!" Zhang Yu didn't expect that the increased hand speed in order to play the game could still be used for rolling dumpling wrappers.
"Hehe, I believe in your ghost!"
Yu Fang obviously didn't believe Zhang Yu's nonsense, but she was really happy to see that her son was really rolling out very quickly.
"At the very least, it's really not good, my son will be able to go to the restaurant to roll dumpling skins for a living in the future!"
If Zhang Yu knew that his mother actually had such a strange idea, it is estimated that he would want to die!
The three mothers cooperated perfectly, wrapped the dumplings as quickly as possible, and then there was nothing to do.
Zhang Yu washed his hands, took his mobile phone back to the room, and waited to eat dumplings.
"I didn't expect Brother Xiaoyu to be so powerful? This dumpling skin is rolled, an afterimage, without more than 20 years of age, I will definitely not be able to practice this hand speed!"
"Hahaha...... The words are lit up!"
"Brother Xiaoyu has been single for 20 years with his strength, and there is nothing wrong with him!"
"Brother Xiaoyu, I'm going to give you a monkey, don't masturbate anymore!"
"Comrades, do you want to have the speed of a small fish, please take your brother seriously, it will make you faster and stronger!"
"Report to the teacher, someone is driving!"
"Who called the police, and where are the illegal drivers?"
"Comrade policeman, I'll report it! It's Fang Advocate Xiaoyu!"
……
After Zhang Yu entered the room, he looked at the barrage on the mobile phone screen, all kinds of dirt and dirt, it was unbearable!
"You guys are enough! For the New Year, don't spend time with your family, make dumplings, and wait to watch the Spring Festival Gala, you are really dirty in the sky!" Zhang Yu immediately said after reading it.
"We don't eat dumplings here, hahaha......"
"If you don't eat dumplings during the New Year, you always feel unsatisfied!"
"Who says you must eat dumplings during the New Year?"
"What do you eat without dumplings?"
"Eat glutinous rice balls!"
"What do you eat on the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year?"
"Isn't it stupid? Of course Fifteen eats Lantern Festival!"
……
Zhang Yu looked at it with a smile, but he didn't speak, he was afraid that the war would be brought to him again.
After watching it for a while, Zhang Yu said: Happy New Year, everyone! Then he quit the live broadcast room and prepared to call his grandmother.
Every year at this time, Zhang Yu will call his grandmother before dinner to pay New Year's greetings in advance.
"Grandma, I'm a little fish!"
"Oh, my eldest grandson is paying a New Year's greeting to my grandmother again?"
"Uh-huh! Happy New Year, Grandma! I wish you good health in the new year! All the best! Eat so fragrantly, you can smile every day! In this way, you can live a long life of 100 years and live for another 180 years!"
"Oh, my eldest grandson said it well, he deserves to be a college student and a cultural person!
"Well, when the time comes, I will send your great-grandson to the house, and let you show me the child, do you think it will be successful?"
Grandma is waiting for your son to come, grandma will grow up the child!"
"Okay, then it's decided! Eat dumplings in a while, grandma, you have to eat two more, so that your body is good!"
"Well, I can eat as many dumplings as I can eat now!"
"My grandfather is not around, I am talking to my grandfather. ”
"Here, wait for me to call him. ”
"Old man, hurry up, our grandson's phone call said I want to talk to you. ”
"Hey, little fish! I'm your grandfather!"
"Grandpa has a happy New Year! Grandson wishes you here: ......"
A phone call took half an hour. After grandma finished speaking, grandpa said, grandpa finished speaking, and then talked to uncle, and finally said a few words to the eldest cousin and second cousin.
If you don't go back to pay New Year's greetings on the third or fourth day of the new year, you will be able to meet in a few days, and it is estimated that you won't be able to finish it in an hour.
After making the call, his mother asked him to eat. Zhang Yu put away his somewhat hot mobile phone, charged the mobile phone, walked out of the room, ate dumplings with his family to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and kept vigil for the New Year!
……
Zhang Yu didn't finish watching last night's Spring Festival Gala, and he couldn't stand it when he saw half of it with his mother, it's really too boring this year's Spring Festival Gala!
What do you think of the current Spring Festival Gala? It's not that the show is bad!
In fact, the Spring Festival Gala has made progress every year, whether it is in terms of program quality or program patterns, there have been progress and innovation. But how to say it?
One is that now everyone is not like before, there are few entertainment activities, and they usually watch TV at home. And there were very few variety shows on TV in the past, so the annual Spring Festival Gala has become everyone's expectation.
But now it's different, the information explosion is huge, and the information that ordinary people usually come into contact with every day is diverse. And the current TV stations are also new variety shows with tricks. So for the general program, everyone is basically immune.
Although the Spring Festival Gala tries to be innovative, he is a CCTV program after all, and there are too many restrictions on various rules and regulations. So it's like in so many restrictions, it's basically impossible to make the show new and make tricks, which surpasses the usual variety shows.
Unless the Spring Festival Gala completely lets go of itself, then through its strong ratings appeal, there must be many good-looking new programs. But that's not possible, because there are so many factors involved!
Without further ado, get back to business!
Because he went to bed early last night, Zhang Yu rarely didn't get out of bed, but got up early and went out for a run. Because Zhang Yu was in South Korea, he was influenced by Jin Zhuangshi and made up his mind to start fitness in the future. So he decided to start from the beginning of the new year, the new year and the new atmosphere, the first day of the year, just to be the beginning!
After running and coming back, Zhang Yu finished breakfast, which was all cold rice and cold dishes left over from yesterday, saying that this way can be more than enough every year! Zhang Yu picked up his things and prepared to go out to his aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Aunt Zhang Ying is in this city, not far from Zhang Yu's home, ten minutes by taxi, fifteen minutes by bicycle, and it doesn't take half an hour to walk.
Zhang Ying is married to a small businessman, sells computers in a shopping mall, and has a good life.
Because it is close, every year is the first day of the new year, Zhang Yu used to pay New Year's greetings to his aunt.
Because his aunt's family was also going out to pay New Year's greetings, Zhang Yu came to her house early, stayed for a while, chatted casually with his aunt and uncle, and then he came out.
But after Zhang Yu came out, his aunt's daughter, his little cousin Chen Meimei, then chased him out.
"Brother, brother, brother, why are you waiting for me!" Why are you walking so fast?" The little girl is ten years younger than Zhang Yu, and she is now in high school, and she is in her first year of high school this year.
"What are you doing? You don't deserve to be your parents to visit the New Year, why are you chasing me?" Zhang Yu heard Chen Meimei's shout, stopped, turned his head, looked at her and asked.
"I'm not going to pay New Year's greetings this year, it's those few every year, I'm bored! I'll follow you to see grandma?" Chen Meimei is now at this age, and she is in a period of youth and rebellion, so it makes sense not to follow adults to visit the New Year.
Zhang Yu looked at her, thought for a while, and said, "Then let's go!"
"Ah, walking?" Chen Meimei saw that Zhang Yu had no intention of taking a taxi at all, and immediately shouted loudly.
"What do you think? I'm going to get ready to work out from today, so walking for the New Year today is the beginning of my fitness this year!
And Chen Meimei has long been accustomed to Zhang Yu's attitude, but she is very sticky to him, so she muttered "bad brother" and "stinky brother", and her calves were still tight and upside down, keeping up with Zhang Yu's pace.
Now they are all children, and there are no siblings in the family, so there is no companion. When Chen Meimei was young, her parents were busy with business and didn't have time to take care of her, so they stuffed her to her grandmother.
Because her grandmother is a girl, she doesn't like her too much, so when she was a child, her grandmother who was close to her home took care of her.
At that time, Zhang Yu had already returned from the countryside to go to school, so Zhang Yu often played with her. Because Zhang Yu has experience in taking care of his second uncle's cousin, the little girl likes to play with him very much.
The two walked all the way, chatting all the way, mainly when the girl talked about her things at school, Zhang Yu listened, occasionally cheered her up, or had bad ideas everywhere.
Just like that, when I got home, it was already past ten o'clock.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Yu saw the second uncle's family in the house, sitting on the sofa, chatting with his grandparents, parents and parents.
"Second uncle and second aunt, Happy New Year!"
"Xiaoyu is back! You also have a good New Year!" the second aunt Li Aomei smiled and said to Zhang Yu a little politely.
"Come on, this kid has grown so tall now, let the uncle take a look!" The second uncle was flamboyant, but when he saw his son's expression, he stood up and greeted Zhang Yu warmly.
Because they didn't see each other for a long time, the second aunt was polite, but not kind. The second uncle is because there is a girl in the family, and he likes his son very much, so he seems to be very kind to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu didn't see his cousin Zhang Qi in the living room, so he probably hid in the house to play on the computer.
"Happy New Year, second uncle and second concubine!"
"Oh, this is Meimei, right? they've grown into big girls!" The second aunt Li Aomei stood up this time and took Chen Meimei's hand to speak.
Subsequently, the family began to talk and chat, and the mother was preparing to eat in the kitchen alone.
