Crackling!

There is a tsunami of firecrackers outside, and the firecrackers will not stop from now until tomorrow morning.

Because it is winter, the sky is dark early, the meals of each household in Dongning Village begin to be cooked, wine is placed on the table, and the TV hits the central one, which is the standard configuration of the Chinese people, ready to welcome the arrival of the Year of the Goat.

The last time it was so lively was in June last year, when the youngest son of the village secretary's family married his daughter-in-law, set up 30 tables of flowing water mats, and set off several firecrackers.

Emperor Wu stood on the balcony on the second floor with a bottle of Coke, overlooking the entire 100 small villages built on the mountain, and those flashing points of light were firecrackers.

"Emperor Wu, come down and help. ”

It was the voice of Kebi, who had become accustomed to calling him by his full name.

"It's coming. Emperor Wu responded, and hurried downstairs into the kitchen.

Kaibi is like a Chinese girl, wearing an apron under the guidance of her mother, and after the two of them are busy in the kitchen, they also use a shovel to turn over the dishes in the pot from time to time.

Emperor Wu wanted to laugh when she saw it, did she really understand what she was doing.

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and set the table with your dad. Mom said.

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not eaten in the restaurant, but on the kang.

I used to sit on the kang when I was in the old house, but I was not used to it when I first moved here, so my father asked the village master to put the kang on the south side of the first floor.

I cleaned up that room into a bedroom, the edge of the kang is almost as high as the window, there is no need to light a fire, and the air conditioner can be turned on in winter.

The first time he saw the kang, Kaibi asked Emperor Wu if he would get dirty when he wore his shoes.

Emperor Wu said, silly girl, isn't it okay to take off your shoes?

When it was time to eat, Kaibi had been standing in front of the kang and pretending to watch TV, but in fact she wanted to see how the others had gotten up, and she was embarrassed to ask, as if she was too ignorant.

As the head of the household, Wu Jianjun took off his shoes, slipped on the kang with a cigarette, watched TV cross-legged on it, and then went up leisurely.

Wu Youyou was busy in the kitchen just now, and now she wants to laze on the kang for a while.

"Sister, come up. Yoyo said to Kebi.

Kaibi took off her boots and climbed up like she had just done, just sat on it a little hard, her buttocks hurt, Wu Di Sai gave her a thin cushion.

"Haha, I'm not used to it, I guess you'll have to feel uncomfortable sleeping on it. ”

"Can you sleep on this? God, don't you know how hard this is?"

Surprised, Kebi asked, "Can you sleep on this?"

She couldn't imagine that it would be uncomfortable to sit on such a hard board.

Emperor Wu smiled, "Otherwise, tomorrow we will sleep on the kang and let my parents go to another room." ”

Kaibi shook his head vigorously, he would not be able to sleep all night.

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, five people and ten dishes, braised prawns, braised pork belly, stewed pork ribs, and a yellow croaker.

A table full of food, everyone sat cross-legged around the table.

In terms of cross-legged, Kaibi can't even more, her two long legs have nowhere to be placed on the kang, as if they are redundant, and finally sat down after a lot of fiddling with the help of her mother.

"Foreigners really can't get used to sitting on our kang! In the past, when foreign presidents visited our country on television, they simply stood on the edge of the kang and didn't go up. The old mother said, sitting between her daughter and her daughter-in-law, smiling from ear to ear.

"I'm used to sleeping in a soft big bed, and I'm definitely not used to sitting on this hard kang again. ”

Emperor Wu sat next to Kaibi, near the edge.

"Dad, what should you drink? Wuliangye or Moutai?" asked Emperor Wu.

My mother interjected, "I have to go out to pay New Year's greetings at night, and I can still open my legs when I am drunk?"

Wu Jianjun joked that the old woman didn't understand, and he said that there was nothing that the men of the old Wu family couldn't drink.

"In the past, when his grandfather was young, the amount of alcohol was registered in the whole county!"

Yoyo asked in surprise: "Dad, my grandfather is really so good at drinking." ”

The old mother pursed her lips, "Why don't you brag that the entire Yanghai City has not been able to drink your old Wu family?"

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, your deceased uncle, counting your uncle Jianmin, is a first-class drinker!"

"What's the matter, I feel glorious to be able to drink, now society pays attention to health, who is stupid to drink. ”

Wu Jianjun pursed his lips, "Son, drink with your father tonight, isn't it a pleasure to celebrate the New Year?"

"Hey Dad, Moutai is out of your eyes? Emperor Wu said with a grin.

"Can I go buy wine myself, the two boxes your sister brought haven't been drunk yet! This safflower lang was sent by the old secretary!" Wu Jianjun said with some pride.

Emperor Wu patted his father's shoulder, "Okay, Dad, the secretary has given gifts to our family?"

My mother said that because of the last road repair, the village has always wanted to repair it, but it really can't come up with the money, and now the old Wu family has done the village committee a great favor.

The village committee decided to go to the county to fight for a place for Jianjun's family to be a "five-good family", and if it succeeded, Wu Jianjun and his family would go to the town government to receive the award in the first month.

Emperor Wu sighed, he is really rich and has a relationship with everyone, and the "five good families" had nothing to do with his own family before.

In the past two months, the secretary and village chief have been very familiar with my father, and from time to time I went to the cattle farm to play chess with my father, and said that he would strive for more preferential policies for the field, and it was a green light all the way anyway.

Emperor Wu is not a hard-hearted person, since everyone has succumbed to this job, he simply returned face to the village committee, and found a piece of land at the entrance of the village to build a garment factory in the first month, so as to provide a place for the women who have crafts in the village, so as not to be idle at home all day long, and lose their temper during menopause.

"You really want to invest money to build a factory. Dad asked, taking a sip of liquor.

"Then there can be a fake, and it doesn't cost much money, 1.8 million yuan, it's better to earn money, you can't earn it, anyway, you don't rely on this to eat, just treat it as a personal favor for the secretary." Emperor Wu analyzed.

Mom and dad nodded, thinking it made sense, the secretary of the family was busy running back and forth, and he was not his own relatives, and he was not trying to win over his own family.

"At that time, the factory will be called Gale Garment Factory!"

After the father finished speaking, he had a toast with his son.

"Kaibi tastes the pork ribs, isn't Auntie making them delicious?" asked my mother.

"No, I was just listening to you guys and didn't understand me. As he spoke, Cabi herself laughed.

"I'll tell you about China's complex and interesting human relationships in a moment. Emperor Wu said to his father again: "When the factory is built, you will be the chairman of the Dafeng Factory!"

Wu Jianjun couldn't close his mouth happily, now he is finally going to be an official!

"Brother, what about me?"

Last year, when the New Year was celebrated, my parents were still worried about the harvest of the coming year, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was discussing the beginning, and Wu Youyou felt that happiness came too quickly.

"You can be whatever you want, we are high-achieving students, and others are convinced. ”

Emperor Wu said that the little sister was proud for a while, this little girl and Kaibi have a temper, no wonder the two of them came together.

"Mom and Dad, Kaibi and I respect you and the second elder, and wish the second elder good health and all wishes come true. Also, my dad is about to be promoted to chairman, so mom, don't always shout at him, it will damage the majesty of Wu Dong. ”

Listening to her son's words, Wu Jianjun smiled, Li Yu nodded again and again, she also knew that she was short-tempered, but menopause, that's it.

"I wish you good health. Kaibi took the juice and said in Chinese, this time she said a lot smoother, which shows that Teacher Wu Di has been doing well these days.

The daughter-in-law toasted herself, and her mother's mouth was about to reach the root of her ears, so she hurriedly took out a big red envelope from behind her and stuffed it to her.

"Yoyo, take a good look at Ang, and when you become someone's daughter-in-law in the future, remember to ask for a red envelope. Emperor Wu said jokingly.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was the most comfortable meal for the old Wu family in more than 20 years, with a cold wind blowing outside and a warm room inside.
