After getting new instructions, Chen Yubin turned around and went back to bed to carry it out. Just ran two steps, turned around, and stuffed his schoolbag into Xiaoxi's hand, "Sister, I'll put your schoolbag here, I'll come back to get it later." "He'll have to come here later, anyway.

Go back to bed and continue to pack up. At this time, his wooden box was basically empty, and the stream was cleaned again, wiped twice with toilet paper, and then stuffed his mats, pillows, etc. into the box and locked it. In fact, she secretly packed these things into the space, and was going to take them home to dry and sterilize, she said the same thing to Chen Yubin. The bamboo mat is still resting on the bed, this is not afraid, everyone has it, even if it is lost, it is only a moment of effort, and it is enough to make another one.

The sheets and quilts that were taken off, folded them, stuffed them into their school bags, and added the insulated buckets, which were stuffed to the brim. Her books were thrown into the space, and she was going to put them home.

After packing up, I went to help Zhao Juan clean up.

"Xiaoxi, I can't stuff it, how can I get it?" Seeing Xiaoxi coming, Zhao Juan sat on the box with her buttocks, said distressedly, and slapped it twice in anger.

Xiaoxi saw that she was sitting on the box with her whole person, and the box was still warped, so she had to get up and help clean it up again.

You must know that Xiaoxi's kung fu in tidying things up has been passed down by her mother. When I was in college, I was stunned that a suitcase of the same size could hold half as much stuff as anyone else. Three under five divided by two, buckle the cover, lock. I helped sort out the schoolbag again, and also saved a handbag that Zhao Juan was preparing to put aside.

Wait for everyone to pack up their things and gather in front of the stage for a meeting as usual. Since it was a holiday, there were more things to say, and several important people from the school took turns to fight. But today is an early school day, so it's nothing.

Originally, I wanted to say that I saved Zhao Juan a handbag, so as not to have to worry about it in my hand, but Xiaoxi saw the lump that she and Chen Yubin were carrying together, and was speechless.

As soon as they got out of the inner courtyard, the two of them rushed into the commissary and began to shop frantically. In Chen Yubin's words, it's a holiday, the brigade doesn't sell these, I don't know when I can eat them again, buy more, and eat slowly at home.

All of them bought a big bag full of them, one of them couldn't afford it, and the two of them carried it together. No, I was walking on the road, and I found it very difficult, so I found a two-finger-thick yellow wattle stick, and the two of them carried it, saving a lot of effort.

"You two are really, it's almost the New Year, will you still have less to eat?" Xiaoxi said helplessly.

The two of them glanced at each other, stunned, as if it was Oh, the New Year, when the time comes, they will definitely have to rush to Longyan's field to buy New Year's supplies, there are more delicious foods at that time, and they will use the money at this time, so when the time comes......

Oh, anyway, it doesn't matter, it's good to eat what you have now, and we'll talk about it then.

After thinking about it, the two of them lifted the bag again and rushed home in a hurry.

When they got home, they went straight to the bedroom, and the two began to divide their things, and after they were divided, regardless of Granny Chen's retention, Zhao Juan went home with the bag. Seeing so many snacks on the bed, Granny Chen chattered a lot, but she still felt sorry for her grandson, so she asked him to take advantage of the fact that Old Man Chen was not coming over to the stove at this time, and quickly put away these snacks.

"Creek, Binbin, just right, come and eat, I'm hot. "The old man Chen who was in the house just now heard the voices of his grandchildren and knew that he was back, so he hurriedly boiled the pot to heat up the dishes left at noon.

took the chopsticks, caught a piece of blood in the creek, and then a chopstick garlic sprout, "Well~ delicious! Grandpa, you guys come to eat too." "A full pot, they will definitely not be able to eat it all.

Old Man Chen shaved the fire with tongs and shook his head, "You two eat quickly, we have eaten at noon, this is specially reserved for you." ”

Seeing this, Xiaoxi didn't say anything more, and quickly sandwiched a fat intestine with chopsticks, well~ Fat and glutinous, chewy, delicious!

I don't eat, I just eat vegetables, because it is fresh meat, and it is dry, so it does not look greasy. The two of them had a considerable record, and after eating half a pot together, they stopped cooking, and they had to eat dinner later, and took out pears to quench their thirst.

"How did you do in today's exam?" Although he knew that the two children had good grades, and they were usually obedient and didn't need to be worried, Mr. Chen would still ask, this is a habit.

Xiaoxi didn't say much, just nodded. "Mm-hmm, it's okay. Chen Yubin raised his head arrogantly, and after speaking, he took a big bite of the pear in his hand viciously.

"Hehe......" Hearing that the test was good, Old Man Chen was happy. Bringing children to your son and daughter-in-law at home is not just to keep the children fed, clothed, healthy, and have good grades. Looking at the grandson's tiger head, as well as the granddaughter's filial piety and sensibility, everything is gratifying. It would be even better if the two of them could go home for the New Year this year.

Unfortunately, within two days, a call came and said that he would not be back this year.

On the way back from the first team, Old Man Chen's mood has been relatively low and a little disappointed. But it's good to walk halfway, and understand that my son wants to sell more strength while he is young, and there will be more places to spend money in the future.

Seeing that grandpa was relieved, Xiaoxi proposed: "Grandpa, why don't we install a phone at home, so as to save the trouble of running around like this, after it is settled, if there is anything in the future, it will be much more convenient to call my mother and them." ”

Indeed, this time and again, I don't have anything, I am afraid of delaying the time for my son and daughter-in-law to go to work, plus a while ago, I sold the pigs, and the family got some money, and the family had to sell grain at the beginning of the spring, and I had to make money at that time. A phone can cost a few hundred dollars.

"Okay, wait for two days, I'll go to the scene to see, if you're busy, you'll be on it before the year, if you're too busy, you'll be on it after the year." ”

Hearing that the phone was going to be installed at home, Chen Yubin had already danced excitedly, after all, there were only a few people in the family who had a phone at home, and they could be counted on one hand.

It's not that you can't afford it, in fact, no matter how you are, you still have that money at home, but you're used to going to a team to make calls, and there's no one near your home, so ......

Xiaoxi believes that if he has installed a phone at home, he will definitely be able to drive those nearby families to install a phone as well. Everyone has a tendency to follow trends and compare.

Although the air is filled with the smell of the New Year, they have to rush to work now.

No, on the edge of the courtyard dam, a table was set up, and three people sat on one side, and there was a brazier on the other side, and a fire was burning at this time. Later, when the sun is big, it will be warm, and you will have to remove the brazier.

And behind the creek, not far away, on the rope where clothes are usually dried, there are pieces of pork hanging one by one, which are the fat pigs killed by Xiaoxi's family a few days ago. At this time, I touched the chili sauce, pepper noodles, chicken essence and salt, and hung there to dry there. That's where the smell of the New Year that the creek said floated over.

"Rustling ......"

Seeing Chen Yubin playing with the pencil case again, looking left and right, he whispered to Zhao Juan after a while.

Xiaoxi said angrily: "What, do you want to wait for us to play later, you do your homework at home, or you can't hand in your homework when school starts?"

The two hurriedly stopped talking, buried their heads in writing, Xiaoxi had a straight face, and they were still a little stunned.

The sun rose higher and higher, Granny Chen cleaned up the house, and now there were no more pigs in the pigsty, and after feeding the chickens and ducks, she took a chair and sat in the brazier to roast the fire, and looked at a few children by the way.

Seeing that the frost had almost melted, Granny Chen went to the middle of the street and moved two benches to put them on the sun dam, and then turned around and went back to the house.

In the creeks, although the snow does not fall often, the frost often falls. In their place, it is not called frost, but frost. There was a thick layer of hoarfrost attached to the leaves of the crop, like a light snow. Sometimes when I get up in the morning and go into the vegetable garden, I see that the white expanse can really make people misunderstand that it is snowing.

Turning around, Granny Chen came out of the house with a large dustpan, set up two large benches, placed them on them, and turned them over with clean and dry bamboo chopsticks.

In vain, it turned out to be glutinous rice flour, which is called tangyuan noodles in their place, and as the name suggests, it is made of glutinous rice balls. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they wanted to make dumplings here. These dumplings are very important and cherished for the villagers. Because the yield of glutinous rice is not high, everyone mainly eats rice, all of which rely on planting a few centimeters of glutinous rice in the field, enough to eat glutinous rice balls for the New Year. Glutinous, more sticky, more chewy, and more sweet.

At the end of the year, it's the New Year, I eat it twice, and I can't help but put this rice ball, so I have to eat it quickly.

At this time, after the sun drying, the fat of the pork was sunburned, and it fell to the ground drop by drop, and soon the weeds were shiny. Because it had been sunbathing for a few days, the smell of cooked meat had already emanated, and Xiaoxi was very intoxicated and took two breaths.

When lunch was almost ready, Old Man Chen came back.

After packing up the homework and serving the meal, the family sat around the table in the courtyard, which was bright and warm and did not need to waste firewood.

"Grandpa, are you going to be there for a long time?" the brook sounded what she had said the other day.

Old Man Chen thought about it, anyway, there was nothing to be busy with at home except for the two cows, so he said, "Anyway, I'm not busy now, I'll go tomorrow." ”

"Hmm, my aunt is going to catch up with Longyan again, what are you doing?" asked Zhao Juan, who stayed behind.

"Xiaojuan, our family is ready to install a phone. Before others could speak, Chen Yubin couldn't wait to speak.

"Ah~ This is good, then I'll go back and tell my grandfather to take a look, An is uneasy, if it is An, the two families will be together, and it will be cheaper. "Her house also installed a color TV not long ago.

The money sent back by their family was mainly used for their brother and sister. My uncle is alone, he doesn't have any expenses, and he can't be a master at home, he usually listens to the words of the brother and sister, so his family must have a phone.
