。

The steps of the doorway were covered with a thick carpet, which was cleaned up and stepped on softly, and it was not slippery at all.

The two men followed the five little ones up the stairs, and the five little ones climbed up and stopped, turned to look at the two of them, and waited for the two of them to come up before turning around and running into the house.

The living room was originally equipped with four doors for lighting, two flaps in the middle, and a fixed door on both sides, at this time, the fixed door leaf on the right side was transformed into a dog hole with a cotton curtain, looking at the size of the dog is estimated to grow up will not affect the access, five small things slipped along the door hole into it, and immediately the living room sounded their cheerful calls, barked a few times, and a few little guys drilled out along the door hole, called a few times and drilled back.

Zhang Xingming walked two steps to open the door, and saw his mother walking towards the door, and saw him say: "I'll just say that Xiaojiao is wrong with them, and when I think about it, you are back, and others can't do it." It's really close to you, no matter how you raise it, you can't raise it. As he spoke, he saw Li Chun behind Zhang Xingming, and said, "If you have a friend, come in and sit, you take two steps to let people in, how cold it is outside." ”

Zhang Xingming bowed to his mother and said, "Mom, have a good New Year." Li Chun also bowed and said, "Happy New Year." ”

Zhang Xingming took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, took off his shoes and changed into cotton slippers, helped Li Chun get a spare pair of cotton slippers, and helped him hang his coat on the coat hanger, accompanied him to the house, and said, "What about my dad" Grandma and grandpa were sitting on the sofa watching TV, and there was no one else in the house.

The old mother walked back to the sofa and sat down, and said, "I've gone out with these children, and I'll be back in a while, why didn't you come back before you said you wanted to stay for a while? ”

Zhang Xingming walked over, knelt down in front of his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa has a good New Year." One of them kowtowed, then stood up and said to Li Chun: "Come Brother Li, sit down for a while and drink saliva." Li Chun went over to bow to his grandfather and grandfather, and then sat down.

Grandma stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Xingming's hand, and said vigorously: "Okay, good, all right." Tired of the capital, is it good"

Zhang Xingming sat down next to his grandmother and said: "It's the same as ours, it's bigger, there are more people, and it's snowing heavily and it's cold." ”

Grandma nodded and said, "I can see it on TV." I saw you on TV at night, I called you, and your mother said that you couldn't hear it. How did you run out of the TV?"

Zhang Xingming turned his head and asked his mother: "See me"

Mom nodded and said: "It's gone in a flash, there have been two or three times before and after, you said how sharp your grandmother's eyes are, we didn't pay attention, she just watched, I looked, it's not you and your second brother, who are the people at that table, why are you and Pu Lao sitting at the whole table, I see how many years old people are on the table." ”

Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "Well, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner we ate there is not allowed to enter the camera according to the regulations, it is estimated that the video was not paid attention to, and the angle was too large." The older one who is talking to Pu Lao on the right is Secretary Shen of our province, I call him grandpa, and the girl sitting on my left is his granddaughter. The one on Pu Lao's left is now Director Wen of the General Office of the Central Committee, who accompanies Pu Lao on behalf of the Central Committee. Next to Director Wen is Director Xiao of the Central Security Bureau, who is a comrade-in-arms with Grandpa Shen, and then here is Director Liu, who told you that before, and I have been to Chongqing with me. ”

"Oh yes, Brother Li is from the Central Security Bureau, the captain officer, and three of them went to the security side today, and they will come over tomorrow, and the four of them will be responsible for protecting me for the time being, and Brother Li is the team leader." Brother Li, this is my mother, this is my grandmother and grandfather. ”

Li Chun stood up and gave a military salute, and his mother said: "Sit, sit, don't be so formal at home, don't be so outside, don't treat yourself as an outsider if you can come together, it's the same as at home." Have you two eaten?"

Zhang Xingming took a sip of water and said, "I ate some before I got on the plane, I was already hungry, I'll get it." He stood up and walked to the kitchen, and said as he walked: "Brother Li, if you want to eat, I won't let you taste my craftsmanship, and I will show you a hand." ”

Li Chun also stood up and walked over, saying, "Anything, I don't pick my mouth, you can really do it, no, I'll come." ”

Zhang Xingming twisted his face and glanced at him and said: "If you look down on me, I won't tell you, just cook, and be serious, the chef in the Beijing Office may not be good to believe it."

Li Chun smiled, rubbed his nose and said, "Okay, then I'll see and know." ”

Entering the kitchen, Zhang Xingming opened the refrigerator first, and sure enough, it was full of all kinds of food, this is my father's habit, every Chinese New Year is like this, all kinds of finished and semi-finished products are ready, and then let it eat slowly, and heat it up when you are hungry, which is convenient.

Taking out two plates of dumplings, Zhang Xingming asked Li Chun: "Do you like to eat sauerkraut or celery, oh and leeks." ”

Li Chun looked at it and said, "It's okay, I like all three, you can do whatever you want." ”

Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said, "Then the sauerkraut and celery, I'll fry it in oil, the leeks are not suitable for eating like this, and the leeks are still freshly cooked and delicious." As he spoke, he put the dumplings aside on the stove and took the vegetables.

Spelling elbow flowers, intestines, shredded meat, liver flowers, and pig's trotters were all taken out and placed on the table, saying: "My father's good habit is to make a lot of them when it comes to the New Year, and they are hot and easy to eat." ”

Li Chun nodded and said: "My family is the same, we are almost the same in the north, anyway, the winter is not bad, the New Year." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Don't look at it, come and see what you want to eat, and I'll fry dumplings." ”

Li Chun came over to look for it in the refrigerator, and Zhang Xingming put on an apron to fry dumplings. After frying the dumplings, heating up some stewed white meat sauerkraut, adding some blood sausage to it, and making some garlic sauce, the two of them sat down to eat.

As soon as he ate a few bites, the younger brother's voice sounded: "Ah, I can't do it, I'm freezing to death, it's too cold outside, why do you say this fuck this day, you have to drive me out of the house before the cold." Hey, whoever bakes dumplings, I'll eat them, I'll eat them, don't you have my share" The person ran over to the restaurant: "Haha, the second child is back." Second brother, why don't you take me with you when you go to TV, don't you get along with me?"

Zhang Xingming said to Li Chun: "This is my younger brother. He said to the younger brother: "Call Brother Li, go get the chopsticks yourself." ”

The younger brother bowed to Li Chun and shouted, "Brother Li has a good New Year." He turned around and ran to get his chopsticks.

Waiting for the younger brother to serve the table with chopsticks, Zhang Xingming asked: "Why are you back alone, my dad and them, is your miss here or home?"

The younger brother took a dumpling and blew it, and said while biting: "My dad and my brother are behind, I run fast." The young lady went home for the New Year, the eldest sister also went home for the New Year, and Sister Mao Lan and Mao Jun also went home for the New Year. As he spoke, he suddenly sighed, put the dumplings he had bitten into the bowl, and said, "Oh, why do you say that you have a good New Year, and when you are all gone, you can't let me have a happy New Year, and no one will play anywhere." ”

Zhang Xingming stretched out his hand and knocked on his head and said, "You don't celebrate the New Year, who doesn't go back to their own home for the New Year."

The younger brother pouted and picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat dumplings, ate a few bites and said: "Ming'er will build another building and move these families over, won't they all celebrate the New Year together when the time comes, second brother, do you say you can do it?"
