Qiao Hongzhi and Chen Bai have not been playing together for a very long time, and it is also his ability to get so many insiders.

But Qiao Jiayue didn't like Qiao Hongzhi's tone of speech, and explained to him very seriously: "Big brother, Chen Mian is not stupid, she just reacts slowly, and she is very pure, just like the third brother." ”

"You and Chen Bai are friends, and you shouldn't look at Chen Mian with this kind of eyes. ”

"It's the eldest brother's fault, I won't be in the future. Qiao Hongzhi was surprised that Qiao Jiayue's evaluation of Chen Mian was on a par with the third brother.

Well, my sister must have her reason for saying this, and it will be better for Chen Bai and Chen Mian in the future.

At half past four in the evening, almost no one stayed out at this time, and everyone rushed home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Qiao's mother and Qiao's father were busy in the kitchen, Qiao Hongyuan and Qiao Hongliang set up tables and chairs in the hall, because the ground was uneven, the table was a little shaky, and they had to find stones to put the table legs.

Qiao Jiayue stood at the door of the kitchen and looked, her parents were talking and laughing, and they cooperated very well, she thought about it for a while, and said to Qiao Hongyuan on the side: "Second brother, come with me to the basement." ”

Qiao Hongyuan blinked and didn't ask more.

When she arrived in the basement, Qiao Hong saw that Qiao Jiayue began to take things out, and she was about to move the gas stove, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Yue'er, don't touch the fire, just tell me what you want to do. Qiao Hongyuan grabbed Qiao Jiayue and prevented her from touching the place with fire.

The structure of this gas stove is very simple, he has studied it thoroughly, and he can make similar ones in reality, but the gas is missing.

"I'll mix two dishes. Qiao Jiayue said seriously.

It's the New Year, and she wants her family to eat better.

"You say, I'll do it. ”

Qiao Jiayue took out six preserved eggs for Qiao Hongyuan to cook, and then she began to adjust the dipping sauce, and then cut a plate of braised beef.

Braised beef is very expensive, in her previous life, she bought a little and saved it, and this meal is gone.

In the end, in addition to arranging and adjusting the dipping sauce, Qiao Hongyuan did all the other work.

The old table of the Eight Immortals was filled with more sumptuous meals than noon.

Stewed pork ribs with dried squid, braised salted fish, braised pork, chicken soup, spinach with oil residue, pancakes, plus preserved eggs and braised beef, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is very hearty.

Qiao's mother scooped out the sweet potato wine she brewed, and poured a small glass in front of each child.

"I wish our days are getting better and better!Cheers!" Father Qiao smiled and raised his glass when he was half-full.

Qiao Jiayue's brothers and sisters clinked glasses one after another and drank the sweet potato wine. The concentration of this sweet potato wine is not high, only a light wine taste, and it is not bitter, and they accept it easily.

But while eating, Qiao Jiayue found that Qiao Hongliang was not in the right state, and he actually began to doze off, and the chopsticks were in his bowl little by little.

"Abba, the third brother is drunk. Qiao Jiayue hurriedly shouted.

When Qiao's father saw it, he couldn't cry or laugh, "Xiaoliang's alcohol consumption is so bad!"

There was one person missing at the dinner table, but this did not affect everyone's mood to eat, and most of the food on the table quickly went down.

Usually there is not much oil and water in the meal, and it is easy to get hungry, like Qiao Jiayue, who can eat a bowl and a half of rice, let alone other people.

In the end, only preserved eggs and spinach remained, because of the strange smell of preserved eggs, most people were not used to eating them, only Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongyuan liked them.

Qiao Hongzhi saw that the time was about the same, so he helped Qiao's mother put the evening dish into the kitchen, and there was still a lot of sweet potato wine left in Qiao's father's bowl, so Qiao Jiayue filled some peanuts for him to drink.

It was also thanks to their quick movements, and after a while, someone from outside came to them, saying that they wanted to sit and have a glass of wine with Qiao's father.

More than a dozen people came one after another, and it seemed that they really planned to stay and drink.

There is no quarrel at the dinner table on Chinese New Year's Eve, and naturally there is no way to say if you refuse.

Seeing this, Qiao's mother gave these people wine, and asked Qiao's father to greet her, and she went into the kitchen to fry another plate of fried cabbage and mustard greens and dried shrimp, all of which brought meat and fish, but it was a good dish to drink.

More than a dozen people, two dishes each eat two or three bites, and then leave.

But the arrival of these people caused Qiao's father to drink too much, and he had to watch the night later, so Qiao's mother had to cook sobering soup again.

There were no electric lights, the smell of oil lamps was poor, and the lights were not bright enough, Qiao Jiayue felt depressed in her heart, why did she entertain these people? They obviously came to eat.

She thought to herself, and asked the question.

In her previous life, she didn't socialize, and she didn't have so many people to consider, so she didn't understand.

Father Qiao smiled: "Yue'er, I'm in this position, there will be such things in the future, this is unavoidable." When the conditions are good in the future, they will not come to the door empty-handed. ”

Qiao Jiayue was noncommittal, is it possible?

Seeing that her daughter didn't believe it, Qiao's father didn't explain again, and she would know in the future.

At this time, it is not easy for anyone, thinking about eating something good, it is inevitable that they will move a little crooked mind, but in fact, everyone actually has no malicious intentions.

Qiao Hongliang got drunk early, and as soon as Qiao Hongzhi and Qiao Hongyuan's wine stamina came up, they also went to sleep one after another, leaving only the spirited Qiao Jiayue in a circle in the room.

She soaked a pot of strawberry water, drank it slowly, and kept glancing at the mall, the red envelope had appeared, and her hands were a little itchy.

A new map has been opened this year, and Xingdian still earns a lot, Qiao Jiayue looked at those red envelopes and decided to draw a big one at twelve o'clock.

There is no TV to pass the time, time becomes difficult, Qiao's mother has not been able to be idle, Qiao Jiayue lay down on her small bed, yawned not long after, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Xu is heart is thinking about the red envelope, Qiao Jiayue suddenly woke up before twelve o'clock, the room was very quiet, and the sound of Qiao's father and Qiao's mother could be heard breathing, as well as the sound of grinding the teeth of the brother next door.

Qiao Jiayue didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly bought the red envelope and opened it.

Just like last year, she pinched the time to open red envelopes, but she was not as lucky as last year.

Still, she got a big golden deer bicycle, some candy biscuits, fruit, fabrics, and a few pairs of rubber shoes.

Although the luck is not as good as last year, the things are very practical, especially the big golden deer bicycle, as long as there is a ticket, this bicycle can be taken out.

And this long rubber shoes are also easy to use, when it rains in the village, there is mud everywhere, and Qiao's mother has to go down to the field to work, even during the menstrual period.

With these shoes, she will be much more relaxed on rainy days, and she will not get sick due to the accumulation of cold in her body.

There is also fabric, Qiao Jiayue touched it, it is a good cotton cloth, which is very suitable for making underwear, although it is white, it can be dyed into other colors and made into the clothes you want.

Qiao Jiayue felt that after seeing so many candy and biscuits, she could give some to Qiao's mother tomorrow morning, and then give the New Year's greetings sweet mouths, thinking that she fell asleep in a daze again.
